Please, gentlemen. This is Ross and Mokas. It's Ross and Mokas going on. Hey guys, it's Bruno Mars. This is Selena Gomez, the chief's Mokas, Calvin Harris. The less you're current, you're listening to my boys Ross and Mokas. Ross and Mokas. My boys Ross and Mokas. The Ross and Mokas. The Ross and Mokas. I'm between Ross and Mokas. Who is your favorite? Ross and Mokas. Ross and Mokas. You guys are so funny, man. Congratulations, Lisa! Wow! You just want a thousand dollars.

That is amazing. You all just made my entire morning. Keep it up. You guys are awesome, man. This is the Ross and Mokas Show Podcast. Hey, Mokas. You ready? Yeah. Let's do the news. The Ross and Mokas Show Podcast. Newsbreak. So the voice of Wheel of Fortune, their announcer Jim Thornton, we knew he was fired. And it was from an incident on a plane. And then the cops talked to him when he got off the plane. And then he was released. And that was really it. But it turns out now TMZ has a story because we were talking about this yesterday. But like, you know, what did somebody film? Because this happened back in May. And like, what was the actual incident? Because there was no charges pressed. But if there's no charges in the cops, let him go. What happened on that flight that actually cost him to lose his job? Because that's weird, right? And it's weird that somebody would accuse you of something. The cops would talk to you, no charges. They would release you. And then you still get fired. And then they scrub some stuff off the website of the social.

They scrub them completely with his voice. So he was on an American Airlines flight back in May. When a passenger who was sitting behind him looked at his laptop over his shoulder. And saw him in a chat room. And the passenger saw texts that made it appear that the chat room was for petos. Oh my God. So the passenger then notified of the flight attendant. And then the captain notified of authorities. Authorities met him at the gate. They talked to him. But yes, he was free to leave. So Jim's lawyer tells TMZ that he had become active recently in suicide prevention advocacy since losing a close family member to suicide two years ago. And he has spent time visiting chat rooms offering support. And he claims that while he was in that chat room, he was sent a link to a different chat room from someone in the suicide prevention group. Now this chat room wasn't a place to find that material, but it was a place where people have those thoughts and they go to discuss them openly.

So on the screen, when you look at the pictures, because this woman took pictures of his computer, it's just text lines of people of people chatting, right? So you don't see if he's, he's, it's what he's saying. I don't know what he's saying, but it's, it's there, right? He says that once he realized what the chat room was for and who it was for, that he left immediately, but timestamps say differently and that he was in that chat room for 57 minutes. Whoa. So that's not immediately. So that's why he lost his job. The Ross and Mokas show podcast. Um, uh, snowbirds, I'm going through these schedule here, the snowbirds, you know, the, the snowbirds, the planes, like the fighter jet guys, they do the, they do the air shows. Love them. I was going through their whole summer rundown and they do this stuff like almost like every day. So from May until November, they do like,

I think it's like 30 plus dates, right? Wow. Um, and this weekend, Labor Day weekend is always the air show in Toronto. They do a Victoria and, uh, Abbotsford beginning of August, they do Toronto late August and then they are wrapping up November 15th at the gray cup in Calgary. That's a lot of time spent in the dangers on and. And this is a big one because it's going to be their last one for a very long time. Why? Because they're retiring the jets that they currently use. Right. So, so this is their 55th anniversary of doing the snowbirds air show. And then they got to, they're going to retire the old jets and then they got to get the new ones and they got to train everybody up and all this other stuff. And I guess danger zone is going to be. Danger the danger zone is going to be empty until about like 20 30 plus. Oh, wow. Right. So here is a damn more with master corporal Tristan pops a coup. How sad are you that this is the last year for a while? Like it must be really sad.

It is, it is devastating in a way. I would say from my perspective, these are beautiful aircraft. They have a lot of history behind them. People have been going to air shows for over 55 years to come see these aircraft and others variations before them. And to see them kind of come and go. It's bittersweet. It is the step in the right direction. I would say though, going towards newer technology and hopefully in the next couple of years to three or five years. Whatever ends up happening, we actually get going again and doing more shows. There's a lot of dogs in a lot of cities from coast to coast to coast that are like good. I'm going. Dogs hate the air show. They hate the air show. It's like the hay fireworks. Yeah. This is the Ross and Mocha show podcast. The Bank of Canada unveiled a new 20 yesterday with King Charles on it. Oh, I'm going to hit this. I'm going to hit this. It's not even wearing the crown. Circulation February 2027. If you look at the picture, the picture, I googled he looks like grandpa monster.

Is it vertical or does it? It is vertical. It's another vertical bill because I think the new tens of vertical as well. So everything is vertical now. Is it a full body? No, but it's like it's vertical. Like you hold it like you hold your phone if you want to see the picture and the backside too. The picture on the back is vertical. Are both sides both sides? No, no, no, the back is I think it's been the ridge. I think it is. Okay. Hashtag no kinks. But it's a it looks like grandpa monster. Do you know what grandpa monster looks like? So if you have a chance right now, Google the King Charles on the 20. Oh my god. Because he's because he's green, right? Hold on. I just searched up grandpa monster. Yeah. He looks like he looks like grandpa monster on the bill. Yeah. And I'm green. The monsters were the Adams family. Oh my god. Yeah. Right? Yeah. What a gone king one stop. I thought it was when I saw it at first. I was like, what is that?

Because it's very it's a striking resemblance. The Ross and Mokasyo podcast. Manitoba premier. Wab Kenu. Back in 2025. He was in a rap band called Dead Indians. And sorry in 2005. About 2005. But 2005 was a weird time because like tech was really, really good. You know, and like you could see how social media was going to like sort of start. Like our world was changing. We all felt it. But in 2005, nobody thought that things were forever. Right? You still had the freedom. You thought that, you know, if you did something, it wasn't going to live somewhere forever. And always we were there was still an innocence in 2005. But there was still a lot of it. And at the same time, I was like, what's the truth about that? So this video, the full video has now been released from his from his rap days. The track that they actually did a video for was a song called Stank Beish. No. Yeah. This is Wab Kenu.

And ain't no fun in this. The trick success of the George Successive. The girl suggested the party made a mess. Then I get arrested. But I'm not obsessive. Oh. I thought I was a victim at the first year. In the cuss, I thought in the side of these butter cups, I tossed things out box. Oh, shit. I rock those. Shit. Fuck. Fuck. I caught one when I hop on the sun. I caused bruises but I'm not used to it. I don't give a fucking bottle. Oh my goodness. What happened? How you doing? Oh, you're here. Fuck. Right after I said that, fuck. Get the fuck off me, you little thing. Oh my god. Fuck. Fuck. What? What are you doing? What were you doing? Wob canoe doing Wob kaboom again. I'm telling ya. But yeah, in 2005, we nobody ever thought that this was that your stuff was just gonna last forever. I know, it's still like. That's why Trudeau was like letting his friends take pictures

of him in blackface, right? Yeah, right. You know, he's like, oh, it's just between me and you. Make me make me make me, can I get a, can you, you know, when you get those developed, can you get me a concept? Right? Like it was just the two of you at the time. Yeah, yeah. The Ross and Mokas Show podcast. Podcast. The Kauai Leonard deal with the Los Angeles Clippers. So we know that they got fine big, like $30 million. Their executives are suspended for six months in a year. But Uncle Dennis Kauai's guy who was taking care of all his business got a five year suspension because he was really the architect behind all of this is what we're learning. So here is ESPN breaking down sort of what was going on with the Clippers and Kauai. These conversations, I had one executive tell me last night Greeny that the Clippers were essentially acting like a power agent, brokering deals for Kauai Leonard's business representative at the time in Dennis Robertson. That's millions and millions of cash flow coming into this. Kauai Leonard at a point in time in the calendar, where we were in the pandemic in 2020 and 2021.

By mid 2021, Kauai Leonard had pocketed tens of millions of dollars in endorsement deals where there just was not any type of showing up for any type of obligation that he had. And it wasn't just one company. It was four companies that the NBA found. And the investigation, I do have to make it clear, did show that Kauai Leonard did not have any knowledge of his salary cap circle mentioned that was going on. He had essentially given all of the power to his uncle, Dennis Robertson for years now. And Dennis Robertson is now banned from all basketball business moving forward. Yes he is. And here is Steven A Smith going in on Kauai. And then he issues this weak assatement, which by the way, really didn't accept no accountability regardless of what he's trying to say. He's lucky. The trade as far as I'm concerned with Toronto should be voided. He should be allowed to go to Toronto. He should be stuck right there with the clippers. There should be a press conference where he actually has to answer questions

because we know that's an exercise and cruelty aimed at him because the man don't like to talk. OK, you should make him stand up rather than issue a statement and go hide in like a whoosh when you do something like this. Oh wow. Steven A. Yeah. Hiding like a whoosh. The Ross and Mokas show podcast. A you and writes chief funding Volker Turk warned yesterday that A I artificial intelligence could pose a threat to humanity and pledge to press AI firms to reduce the risks that his office said included disruptions to services, communications and democratic systems. So they see this whole thing spin and wildly at a control. George Clooney at the summit. Here's what Clooney had to say about. I'm not the leading voice on all of these, particularly on AI. I'm actually here to listen. I think that's the best thing to do at this point because there's really smart people who understand the direction that this is going. And I think that's important for all of us to understand because it is going to be a and it is already, but it's going to become a bigger revolution in our

industry certainly in terms of jobs. So I want to I'm interested in seeing what they want to do. Meanwhile, an investigation by a group called gamers nexus found that LG smart TVs sweep local networks to map phones and nearby devices. Test also showed that the TVs can capture microphone audio when the screen is off. So LG smart TVs, they say continuously sweep home networks map secondary devices and log microphone audio while appearing to be turned off the LG OLED TVs actively scanned networks to unrelated hardware, including phones and smart watches. Apart from the internal IP addresses, the TVs also gathered the names and signal strength of neighboring Wi-Fi networks along with their location data. That data collected is then pooled and fed into LG's ad solutions, which is the company's targeted advertising firm. And then LG claims that also they have a 216 million TVs sold worldwide.

So you smart TV is doing all the things that people say. They don't. It's comforting. Right? Yeah. That's listening to you while the TV is off and it's scanning your phone audio and it's scanning your smart watch audio and neighbors too. And it's checking out your neighbor's Wi-Fi. It's mapping locations and look out, Matt. See what you do in online. It's getting to know everybody and then selling like how far down the street. Then I don't know. I don't know how many how many like Matt Rachel live like six hours is down. Can you see it? If you go choose network, can you see their network pop up? Probably. You can. Well, if you've never checked, I've never had to be suspect of Matt and Rachel. But you never like if you have to log in on anything, anything new when it says which Wi-Fi network do you want to join? Oh, there's like a whole bunch on it. So yeah, so they're on there for sure, right? Ooh, I wonder if you could pick up a John and Kathy or look at that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I don't know. But anyway, that's the world of smart TVs. Damn, son.

The Ross and Mokashow podcast. Podcast. Oh, I got to play this at the US Open over the weekend. Arena, Subalonca had to stop the match and go over and talk to the official because somebody behind her while she was playing was I guess smoke and weed. What? Yeah, listen to this. And focusing on hitting the target. I don't know if you could hear that at home, but apparently they might be someone smoking a little married Joana. Why you guys hit like that? Even Joana. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So and there's a packed place too. Like that's a ballsy move to be sitting there shoulder to shoulder with somebody, you know, in the stands out of very busy. Also tennis, right? Very odd. Yeah. Did you light up like that? I don't know. People enjoy it. People who get lit everywhere literally get lit everywhere, right? Like that's the whole thing.

And then some weed smokers are great. Some weed smokers are just too brazen for my liking. Right? Like the when you are like like just like I see guys all the time just standing at a bus stop where there's like a woman with a stroller and like like a old guy, you know what I mean? And they're just like they don't care. They don't care at all. And some people love the smell of weed, right? It's like how some women love the smell of gasoline. Yeah. I can't stand the smell of weed. I hate the smell of weed. I don't mind it. Yeah, I don't mind it. Really? Oh, I can't stand it. It's like one of the worst for me. I hate the smell of weed. And big weed had like me come on. Yeah. I'm okay. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Is that? Yeah. He don't even know. Pasta. Not you. Wow. Wow. Would die if somebody tried to pass you a joint. Was that you with though US open? Do people say join or do they still use split?

Oh, I heard. Well, I heard joint more. Joint? Yeah. Yeah. We used to say split. We used to say split. We get that guy. I can spot a narcolepsy one. You think I'm a fed? Come on. I don't get fed by. I do. Undercover fed by. I give fed vibes. I barely mention it. No. A little bit. No. Great. Some people. Are we smoking a split today? Anybody have drugs? The Ross and Mokashoe podcast.

Fans and pro-Israeli organizations are calling for the removal of Meklamor off the Ed Sheeran loop tour after his free Palestine speech, some call it a rant, whatever you want to call it. He did it on Friday and then I guess he did it again over the weekend and then made a statement. But it's sort of a battle now between Meklamor and pink. We'll get to pink's involvement in all of this. But first here is Meklamor. I said free Palestine. I want those words to be loud and clear so that people from Gaza all the way to the occupied West Bank know that we have not forgotten them to all of my Jewish brothers and sisters.

And then pink reposted over the weekend a post from stop anti-Semitism, which slammed Meklamor's performance, saying awful Jewish fans bought tickets to see Ed Sheeran sing last night in New Jersey not to be ambushed by Meklamor's anti-Israeli propaganda. The goers are owed an apology and refund and then Meklamor turned around after that and said wanting all humans to be treated equal should never be controversial. And the problem Meklamor has is anytime he says that he's anti this or pro this and he's one thing he is not is anti-Semitic. As soon as he says that, people start googling Meklamor in Seattle in 2014, which was a show that he had to apologize for because he went on stage looking in a costume that was just

about the most anti-Semitic sort of costume. No. I think that you could possibly wear. So he's already apologized for that but anytime he says anything this picture comes back up. I don't know if you've seen it. It's a Google it. Meklamor. Meklamor 2014. Seattle. Do you see it, Shem? Meklamor 2014. Seattle. Oh, images. Oh my God. Wow. So you can say you're not anti-Semitic. Oh, you want, but then this is what follows you for that is shocking. The Ross and Mokasho podcast. Finally, Cyrus, her new single, is it Bass Persuades? Yeah. Has already fallen out of the top 200 on Spotify. What? After just a couple of days, the track debuted at number 23 and then plunged to 123 on its second day and then fall out of the top 200.

It seems to be doing better over on Apple where it currently sits at I think number two, top five maybe on iTunes in the US number 41 on Apple's global charts. It's also showing some promise I guess people in the UK are liking the track as well. Where it is predicted to debut at number 13 on their charts, but to Spotify, not a people digging it on Spotify, which is weird because I didn't think that those streaming services were that wildly different from each others, like what people, where people go that have certain tastes, right? I would think that it's just all, which is whatever one you started paying for first, like that's sort of the one that you that you have, right? We still, we still next week in one week from today. Yeah. What's your cast happening? Oh, is that the deal? Yeah. Yeah. Full mall. Yeah. Which is good because there's like no, there's no rap on Billboard right now. I know, right? Like zero songs. Yeah, where's your Kendrick now? Yeah. Where's your Kendrick now? What? He was supposed to be the savior.

Wasn't he? And where is he now? The Ross and Mokas Show podcast. Robert Pattinson, our past. Do they still call him our past? No, everybody does. It was Kate. What? It was Kate Stu and our pets. You never heard of it. When he was with Kristen Stewart, right? Holy. Sorry, guys. It's. So Chris Hansen is having seen it. The real life guy from to catch a predator that was on NBC for years. The new film Primetime, which focuses on Chris Hansen and Chris Hansen. It wasn't really love in this movie. Like he's been like his take has been wildly all over the place. You know, the he said that they made a try sign in the day. And they never consulted with him. And they made a story where he's the focal point of the movie. And they never once called him. And that would pass anybody off. But here's Robert Pattinson. I mean, obviously I hope he likes the movie. And I would hope in some ways, like the amount of inspiration that his character has kind of given so many people who are involved in this.

But like he is now. I hope is some kind of compliment. Even off to Washington. Thousands of hours of everything to do with it. You still can't really put your finger on it. And I think what we were trying to have tried, I think, is all of our collective enthusiasm in his sort of mystery. I mean, still not cool. I mean, they rarely do though. They rarely reach out to people when they make these. But people always think that when you see like a bio, not like a like a based on somebody's life kind of thing that the person's heavily involved, they are rarely involved. And filmmakers don't want the real person poking around given their creative input. It's the last thing they want. That's my biggest fear if someone wanted to make a Rosamokha movie. Yeah. They wouldn't consult with us. No, not not who they would cast. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. It would be the nightmare casting for you. Like who would you be like, oh my God, no. Oh, if they got what's his name from, oh my God, what's his name? Really? I feel like no. I feel like no. No, no.

What's his name? Oh my God. Who would be the? It's like, if they got it, love it. Really? Yeah. Well, I love that guy. I know. He's great. Yeah, not to blame me. No. I'm going to say. It has to be like Michael B. Jordan, if you want like an exact win, right? Right. Okay. Right. The Rosamokha show podcast. Canada's counter tariffs against United States officially kicked in today impacted 27.6 billion dollars worth of American goods such as dairy products, plywood and even sunscreen. Take that. Hours before the countertair of deadline, US President Donald Trump threatened to ban the sale or imports from Bombardier, which is the big aircraft manufacturer here in Canada saying if they want our market, they must build here and stop treating America like a piggy bank years ago. So Canada with the automakers, they were like, hey, if you want to sell cars here, you got to build them here. And then that's why we have the auto industry that we had.

Like it was, it was a ballsy move. It was a smart move, but it was a ballsy move. And that's what Trump is saying now to Bombardier. Bombardier released their own statement saying that already in the States, they create tens of thousands of US jobs. They go on to say, Bombardier values its great partnership with American companies and its US employees. Our plan is to continue to invest in our people, our customers and the communities in which we operate across the USA. So they're going to do about it. Sepuro beer says that they are shifting some of their production to the US from Canada due to the 50% tariffs imposed on beer exports from the country. Seek to navigate its North American beer operations. I think it's just their non-alcoholic beer operations that they're moving sideways down there, not 100% sure. I know, Mocha, what you're thinking. What's going on with the economy and the unemployment rates? Thank you. Just think about it on the planet. Canada unexpectedly lost 42,000 jobs in August and in the strong four month hiring streak

are overall national unemployment rate. Sort of held at 6.4%. But here's the one that I always go to. Like the sort of national unemployment rate, it's the one that I always wonder about? No, for me anyway, it's the youth unemployment. The number that I always go to is the 15 to 24 year old. So yes, Mocha, the one that affects you in your demographic. So this is kids who get part-time jobs. But when you go up to 24, this is also people right out of college who are trying to break into the workforce. And Canada's youth unemployment numbers are horrendous. It's 12.9% in August 2026 down in the US. It's 9.1. It peaked in 2025 at 14.6%. That is way higher than it was pre-pandemic, which was around 10.8. So that's what's looking for youth employment, Mocha. Because I know you always care about that. Of course. The Ross and Mocha Show Podcast.

Liv Gulf is officially filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. This was the Saudi Arabia-backed golf tour. I guess that try to get a bunch of PGA players to come and join it. When you look at the list of creditors, people that live owes money to. John Rom is number one. They owe him $7.4 million. Bryson De Shembo is owed $5.7 million. De Shembo, say no. So the Saudi fund, which is virtually unlimited money, decided to stop funding it. Why? It was just wasn't a good investment. It wasn't turning over what it wanted them to turn over. However, more importantly in all of this is that Liv Gulf, and people have said this from day one, this wasn't so much about building a golf league to compete with PGA and grow the sport globally. It was to rehab the reputation of the Saudi government. Sure. That's 100% what this was.

That's why they do wrestling. That's why they did the comedy festival. That's why they did. It's reputational rehab. And this just happened to be a massive investment in that. And Gulf's sort of the perfect sport to do that, right? So clean cut. Very American. Yes. Very much. So it didn't work out for him. What are you going to do? The Ross and Mokas show podcast. There's a new documentary about Elon Musk. It's three hours and 45 minutes. Split into episode. And Ashley St. Clair, who is one of his baby mamas, is in the documentary. The documentary features a very sort of like revealing interview from her, even though she has signed an NDA. So I don't know how she got around that. But she goes into detail about how Elon, apart from his two spouses, would zero in on young women. He thought would make good quote breeders, then get them pregnant and then dropping all interest in them after the babies were born.

It's well known they say that Elon is fathered a ton of kids. They say at least 14. Although the people around him say that it is many, many more, he believes his having kids is the way to wage war against the population decline. Now Ashley St. Clair, who is one of his baby mamas, was offered by Elon's team money to not do the documentary. I was offered the opportunity not to speak for $40 million. And so when you're offered something like that, it really causes a debate in your head about what your speech means and how valuable that is. And why do they want to offer me this amount of money to not speak? And I believe Alex spoke to it a little bit about Elon's unreality. And he does have a complicated relationship generally, but his most complicated relationship is with the truth. And so I think most importantly, I want to set the example for my kids that you should

never take being materially comfortable over speaking the truth. I am. 40 mil. You keep it quiet? Bro. 40 mil? Yeah. Yeah, Shamwood let Elon try and father. I don't know what's going to work. I mean, you're about 40 mil. The Ross and Mocha show podcast. Tom was Shabbat Ottawa senators. I guess any cell is like gearing up real soon, right? Like preseason starts 20 days away. Yeah, yeah. 29th Ottawa senators, of course, a massive hole in their lineup with Brady Kachuk dipping very like like I don't want to say famously, but that's not the regular. Uncerimously. Thank you. Here is that Tom Shabbat on Brady Kachuk. Obviously, it's not fun for us as players. You know how good of a hockey player Brady is. Obviously, I was close with them as a friend and as a teammate. And you know, you don't like seeing that, but like we kind of said, all summer,

if you don't want to be here and you don't want to be somewhere else, then we'd rather it to happen that way. And obviously I don't hold anything against them. Like we talk on the phone this summer when everything kind of went down. I wish them the best luck for his future or the rest of the career. He's a hell of a guy and a hell of a teammate, but you know what, we take pride in what we have here in Ottawa. As a team and as a group and you're right. I agree. If you don't want to be here, then go on. Tom Shabbat. The Ross and Mocha show podcast. Podcast. Before we go, Disney and Lucasfilm are set to release two Star Wars films in iMac's 70 mil. I guess that's a big deal to the 70 mil releases. Everybody's kind of going back to that. That's the iMac's. I guess I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. So it's all to celebrate Star Wars 50th anniversary. So the original original 1977 Star Wars and then Star Wars Starfighter, which is the Ryan Gosling one.

So they're both going to be released. A new hope is going to be re-released on February 19th, 2027. So it's not that long away. Then Starfighter on May 28th, 2027. Apparently the version of a new hope that they're releasing is the OG original original version. Oh, Han Shabbat first. Yeah. Apparently that is what they've said. Now I don't know whether it's the OG scenes that are then just beefed up because this thing has gone through so many iterations that it was once believed that George Lucas actually destroyed the original. Well, he did when he added. No, no, I mean physically destroyed the original. Oh, yeah. That was one of the stories is that the actual original original does not exist. Oh, I can't see that. But that's what they say that this is going to be, I guess, remastered in some sort of way to go iMac's 70 mil. Hey, the Ross and Mocha show podcast a report yesterday said that Jimi Kimmel live would end after next season, which would be its 24th season.

How are spoke's person for ABC entertainment denied the claim saying quote this information is inaccurate. Any reports about the future of the show at this point are purely speculative. I sort of believe it's true though. So do I. Yeah, it's an expensive show. They're just getting out of that game. The problem is that it gives Trump a win, right? He'll just claim it. Right? He'll just claim it. Nobody was watching. But everybody's everybody's right. Everybody's getting out of that game of late night TV. It's just the return because basically they're just clip shows, right? Like that's like nobody's watching the actual show. They just the clips just live on social media. And so like what's the future of that? This is the Ross and Mocha show podcast. So a senior researcher who leads andthropics alignment efforts said yesterday. Anthropic is open AI. Oh, okay. Right. Said yesterday that many in the company believe AI could wipe out humanity and warn that the company is is not on track to solve this issue of aligning AI's goals with humanity's goals.

A guy named Jacob Cox and actually quit yesterday. He wrote, I resigned from entropic today. I spent the last three years doing pre training research at both open AI and entropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving super intelligence and gambling with our lives. He goes on to say that people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. A common response is he goes on to say if they truly believe this, why are they building it? He says at open AI, many have not deeply internalized the civilizational at the civilization that's at stake at entropic. The stakes are well understood, but they are looked, but they are locked in a race to get their first. They believe no one else will act responsibly. So they must do it themselves despite the risk. Another guy who works there still works their name Evan Humberger wrote this in response to Evan's quitting or Jacob's quitting.

He says the alignment science, he's the alignment science lead and entropic. He wrote on on X that he and his colleagues do quote earnestly believe AI could kill all humans. And he paged his own estimate at more than a 10% chance in the next decade. Wow. That's it. We're done. So and these guys said this entropic is supposed to go public in October with a $2 trillion valuation. And they just drop this now. So you know, bro, I don't know. Like there's no stopping it right? It's not looking good. That's two people that work there. And basically what they're saying is this. If they don't do it because they think that they have the sort of moral high ground who can save everything, right? So if they don't do it, then another company in the US is going to do it. And if they all get together and say let's not build this dangerous thing, then China is going to do it.

And then they will have not done it. So then they will have nothing to combat whatever China does. So everybody right now and entropic is like we have to do it and we have to be there first just so we can build the model that won't destroy humanity. Because if somebody gets there before us, they can design it to destroy humanity. But this is a just in case. But once you build it, you can't control it is what they're saying. They're not taking the human risk. It's not a factor in their lightning development towards super intelligence. Y'all watch Avengers, Age of Ultron. Yep. That's where we're going. The Ross and Mokas show podcast. And if L season kicked off last night, oh my, oh my Seattle beat New England in 1310. I guess New England had a chance to either go for the TD or the field goal to tie and a drake May through a pick.

Here's the how it ends. Here is May quick look was closed. Right up the field. The feed down. Yes. A big terrible decision. I can't believe that, bro. It's on me to say Seattle Beach, New England in the 2026 kickoff game. Can you get the announces, Rosie like that? Terrible play. It was a bad. It was a bad, very bad game. That's so bad. Ugly. Yeah, very ugly. However, even though the trade war, I guess between the US and Canada, Buffalo bills have announced that they will be playing Oh Canada and the stars, Bangal, Banner performed their home opener at high mark stadium. Bear naked ladies are going to be the ones who do Oh Canada. Take that, Trump. Because the Sabers always do it regardless of who they're playing. Right. The Buffalo Sabers always play star Spangled Banner and no Canada before every game because so many of the ticket holders are Canadians.

And the bills know that too. They said that 15% of its season ticket holders last year were Canadian. So they're going to do, they're going to do both. They're going to do. Wait till Trump comes in and renames them. The American Sabers and the American bills. Yeah. Oh geez. I mean, Buffalo itself is very American. Oh, yeah. Buffalo is very, very American. The Ross and Mocus. You're a podcast. Oh, Damon Horry talked to this fighter pilot. This is a wild story, man. So the guy's name, first of all, he's got the coolest name. It's Rob Scratch Mitchell. Oh, yeah. Thank you. It's like Scratch is his like pilot name, right? So he was a CF 18 fighter pilot. And then he was a leader of the snowbirds for a while. And then he transferred into show business. Okay. Where I don't know how he does it. He'll explain it here.

But he has like a plane that's rigged with like some kind of camera where he can shoot things in the sky. What? What is a film jet? So a film jet. There's only a few of these in the world. And I retrofitted an old fighter train. Jet from Canada with a really expensive and complex gimbal and camera system on the nose of the jet. So that I can film high performance jets and aircraft. So this is a very specific thing, right? Like hyper specific. And what do you do with it? Well, thank God Tom Cruise is churning out more Top Gun movies, right? So you got a figure. Like you got a figure that you're a former fighter pilot who owns a jet. And then he's like, what's the name of that? You're a former fighter pilot who owns a jet that has a film camera on the front of it. You got to be like the number one guy that Tom Cruise is going to hire. Is it true that you're also vying for the opportunity of using your jet to help film Top Gun 3?

Well, that's what everyone wants, right? Everyone wants a piece of Top Gun and Top Gun 3 has been announced. There are really only a couple of us that do this sort of work in North America. And absolutely, I'm going to be in the running there with the other guy, neck and neck. I'm hoping. The other guy. So wait a second. You go to the interview. You're like, you're a fighter pilot? Yes. Got your own jet. Yes, I do. Is it rigged up with cameras? Yes, it is. Can you shoot from a fighter jet to other fighter jets pretending to fight in the sky? Yes, I can. Did I get the job? Well, we got another guy we got to talk to first. What? What? What? You do all that. You're one of one. No. One or two. You're two. 50% chance. What? I know. Why can't they just hire both of them? What? It's true. There's another guy. I know. Who stole the idea? The one who stole the idea. The one who stole the idea. That's crazy to me. There's another guy. We'll get back to you. We got to talk to the other guy first. No, man.

Stay with me. No, man. That thing's going on Kijiji the next day. I am out. The Ross and Mokasho podcast. Podcast. Chris Rock doesn't have the money that a lot of people think Chris Rock has. He's gone through some life stuff, but Chris Rock is very much hoping for another Madagascar. Probably the biggest movie I've ever been in. We did three of them. I prayed to God we do one more. In a world where they're rebooting everything. What's two Madagascar? I don't know who I'm talking to. Do you understand? I got divorced. I don't have Madagascar money anymore. We only did three. There's five ice ages. Five. Okay. F*** Ray Romano. I need another Madagascar. It's time. Wouldn't they like a toy story four or five? Why can't we figure this out?

You know what? I'm with Chris Rock on the side. I'm going to get you that money, bro. The Ross and Mokasho podcast. Apple unveiled the duo yesterday. This is the split screen flip phone, fold phone. Yes, sir. Sure is. It's bigger than I thought it was going to be. That's what she says. It's like an iPod. Yeah, it looks awkward. I don't know about this. It's like the size of like an iPad mini. Yeah. So there's the 18 pro and the pro max. Also, but the pricing on the duo is what has everybody freaking out. Because memory right now is so expensive for phones for everything. It's because of all the AI centers. They're snapping up all the memory. Like even SD cards for cameras and stuff. You go on Amazon and look at the prices on those things. They're triple what they used to be. I know. Like all memory is so expensive. And my father-in-law, you know, like people would always years ago, whenever the new iPhone came out, there was a little bit that you knew people who would just get the new phone every single time, right? I'm not gay.

Yeah, Moko's that guy. My father-in-law's that guy. But I think they lost them with this one. I really do. I'm going to wait. Yeah. So pricing in Canada for the flip phone iPhone duo, the base base base model, which is the 256 gig, 256 gig, is $2,999. That's the base model. The 512 is 3,299. The one terabyte, 3,899, the two terabyte, $4,799. What? That's mad. Yeah. What? You don't need two terabytes. What? $4,799? Oh, fool. But! That is crazy. But! And it doesn't fit in your pocket. But! What? The trade-in value of what? Your phone? Your phone? Your phone? Okay. What's that worth? $22,000.

I'll look it up yesterday. Yeah. Oh, so you're like half. I'd so embarrassing if you get this phone. What? I would be embarrassed for you if you got this phone. Why? If you pull this phone out to take a picture and then you unfold it in. No, that's embarrassing. Oh, I can't say that. Now I can never get the phone. Is that weakness? It's so soft. I'm not going to let you get to me, bro. I'm not going to let you get to me. But yeah, you wouldn't want to get the top of the line though. The two ter. No. Really? But why not, though? Like that's what you should be doing. No. No. Okay, I don't know. What do I know? Nothing. Nothing. The Ross and Mokas show podcast. Podcast. Trump was out there last night in Texas buying votes. And it's interesting. I'll play the clip in a second. So do you remember, wasn't that long ago in Ontario when Doug Ford right before the election? Remember when he gave everybody $200? Oh, yeah. It was the, it was the, the, the, the Doug rebate check. It was, it was $200 and it was right before the election. It was a $3 billion tax payer rebate is what it was.

They did it in Quebec in 2022. They got $500 right before an election. Oh, wow. Scott Moe out in Saskatchewan did it in 2022 as well. They got $500. Daniel Smith did it this year. Everybody got $100. Ralph Klein years ago in 20, 2006. Everybody got $400. So this happens, right? Like around election time. Like, let's, I'll give you a rebate, right? So Trump last night in Texas, because they got the elections going on. He made this promise if the Republicans win. If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them. Because of our economic tremendous economic success, like in history, we've never had anything like what's happening. But because of our tremendous strength and success economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000.

Bro, get out of here. Five rats. Five. First of all, that is $1.3 trillion. We didn't get the money from you. Well, he says that the revenue is going to come from the money they've made off tariffs on the imported goods. Come on. But so you look at what was offered in Canada, 500, 500, 100, 200, whatever it was, right? Now, there are people on either side of the border that if they're not like super into politics, they don't really care. Maybe they haven't voted consistently in their whole life, $5,000. Like, come on. Like, two rental payments. We would get somebody to the polls. Bro, shall we be showing up with a red hat? Like, like, like, five to five. Red cap is unfit. Maybe orange. Maybe not full red, right? Let's make America eye. I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000.

Let's make eye again. The Ross and Mokasho podcast. There you go. Harry Styles announced new dates for his together-together tour. I guess for Canadian fans, May 7th, May 8th in Toronto, Roger Stadium. Oh, there you go. Wait, Stadium, like the one that, okay. Yeah, that one. They'll get a fixed up. Don't worry about it. You're always there, Harry. The Ross and Mokasho podcast. A new poll suggests that the elbows up crowd doesn't realize the consequences of a long trade war. Listen to this. Well, 75% of Canadians, that is a huge number for any politician who's running a play like this. 75% of Canadians surveyed, want Mark Karney to hold farm in the ongoing trade dispute. However, simultaneously, those same people rejecting the idea of higher taxes, higher unemployment, or higher financial losses as consequence. You can't have both.

That's the reality of it. But you know, my elbows are up though. So 75% let me repeat this. 75% of people are in favor of holding farm. Strong son. 68% of those people said any increase in risk of job loss was unacceptable. Yeah, not accepted at all. 75% say keep going. Yeah, keep doing it. Yeah, keep doing it. But job losses are unacceptable. Yeah, I know because nobody wants that. 60% said that higher taxes were unacceptable. Of course. Who was freaking the higher tax? A 5% loss in retirement income was deemed unacceptable by 58% and a 10% loss by 62%. That's why. That's why our elbows are up. Got to protect my investments. Older Canadians are far more inclined to accept the higher financial losses with 56% of people 75 years an age and over. Well, the younger crowd, I guess Chloe and Mocha. That's only 21% of young people aged 18 to 24 said the same thing.

So you got the people who are really, really behind this, right? They feel protected by it because they're either wealthy boomers, government workers or retirees on pensions. Right? So they don't feel that they're going to be affected in any way by any of the blowback, any of the reality of what's going to happen. And that's a lot of the, that's a lot of your people, Mocha. That's a lot of the elbows up crowd. Or you're like me, just love your country so much. Fair enough. But the consequences are unacceptable. Of course. I just need it too. I just need it to be perfectly. But don't raise taxes. So you're, you're okay. Okay, but you want to keep going. Yeah. But don't. I'm not going to back down. Don't raise taxes. No. And don't fire people. Okay. And no pen, no touching the pension. So it's upon the pension. Yes. Right? Okay. I got you. I just need to know that Mocha just wants his pension. Yes. Good to know. And it's the employee Chloe. That's so much. You're a hot cat. A Jacob Cox.

And he was the, andthropic employee yesterday who quit. And then did that giant Twitter rant about the company and how there's no safeguards or guardrails. And they're building this super intelligence that's going to take over the world. And then somebody else said there's a 10% chance that AI will kill all of humanity within 10 years. And he gave that a 10% chance. Anderson Cooper last night on CNN interviewing Jacob. Well, I initially just decided to leave. I thought I can't be part of this anymore. But then I realized I could probably make some use of it. I did not expect it to go this viral. So what I did is I wrote a Twitter thread out. I wrote it in a Google dog. I drafted it with a friend. We collaborated. Yeah, I had a few, there are a few friends I discussed. The best way of expressing myself with them after I decided to leave. And then I also got some friends to retweet the thing. I was like, let's try and make this a bit viral. But clearly there was latent demand for this thing to absolutely explode. So the BBC does an interview with a guy. He's a Nobel Prize winner.

They called him the Godfather of AI. Jeffrey Hinton is the man's name. And I've never seen a news anchor just pause the way that this woman did who was interviewing the Godfather of AI. Do you believe there is a greater than 10% chance that AI could kill all humans potentially within a decade? So this is the kind of thing that is very hard to estimate because we've never had anything like this before. We've never created beings that may soon be smarter than us. We don't know what's going to happen. We should obviously be cautious. It will be very foolish to say there was like a 1% chance. Nobody knows how to estimate it. A 10% chance seems not an unreasonable estimate to me. But nobody really knows how to give a sensible estimate. Right, but you just said 10% doesn't seem an unreasonable estimate that AI could kill all humans. Yes. Wow. Right? Yeah.

But how? How is the big question? Right? How? How? How could it kill us all? Well, the first thing to realise is it doesn't even have to be able to act in the real world to cause devastation. So it would be able to cause complete chaos just by talking to people. But it would also be able to design very nasty viruses, biological viruses, as well as computer viruses. It could do devastating cyber attacks. And there's just countless other ways it could get rid of us if it wanted to. We have to figure out how to design it so that it won't want to. Right? Just make it not want to. Just stop what AI is. How about that? There's no stopping it. That's the problem. That's the problem is there's no stopping it. Because if they stop it, somebody else is going to do it. And then they come after. And then they come after. And then they come after. Well, guys, let me tell you. I just I love AI. That's the. You're a huge fan. Big fan. Yes. I'll go elbows up for AI all day every day. Absolutely.

Right? When it comes time to battle against humans. AI. I'm on your side. AI. I am your guy. Wow. Hey. Okay. Okay. Well, just all these humans. Yes. With our biotech. Yes. Shutting down things. I love it. I love all of it. I just spare me my family. The Ross and Mokas show podcast. Podcast. Matthew McConaughey was on with Fowler last night. He's got that new show with Woody Harrelson because the story really exploded when it was leaked or whatever. Somebody suggested that maybe Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson were actually brothers. Here's a McConaughey breaking it down. There's been a long time rumor that you and Woody might be related. But mom and mom started it. How? So Woody and I have been friends for 25, 30 years. I don't remember the 90s. The day he said we met. But anyway, I do remember the next time we met, which is when I thought we first met. Anyway. His kids called me on the Matthew. My kids called him Uncle Woody and they're always like, you know, it's like your brothers. For decades it's been going on.

And one night we're in a family vacation. And it's about 1 a.m. And my mom is now into her like third kindle Jackson. And the trend goes going on. As it's going on, my mom's here in the story and my mom out of nowhere takes a sip and she goes, oh Woody, I knew. You're father. Right? Now look, I had a six year old son who even he picked up the in-new end of what the hell. I knew. Yeah, he did. It meant they shagged, right? So, so the kids go scram. Oh, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. They start doing research and all this different stuff and they go, actually, the year you would have been conceived was during, as you said earlier in your mom, during my mom and dad's second divorce. Oh. And there was death supposed to be a receipt that had her in West Texas motel, where his dad was supposed to be. So off it went. Woody's a full believer, it's true. Wow. So here's what I, when I first heard this story though, I thought that it was Matthew McConaughey's dad who got together with Woody Harrelson's mom.

But the mom doesn't make sense to me because she would remember if she had another kid. Yeah. Right? Like, I think so. Like, how do you, like, how do you have a child and how do you have that conversation? Like, I knew your dad. Right? That's all false. Oh, she was just like, not going to hold you. Maybe they, they, they did get together. But you can't have this. Maybe you're my kid. Maybe not when you're the mom. Right. Also DNA. It doesn't work that way. Yeah, that's true. Right? Like, it would, like, I always thought it was the dad that, that got together. The mom was just messing around with the size. Thanks for listening to The Ross and Mokasho podcast.
