00:54afternoon bert gore says he had just returned home in boca raton after taking his son to the er when
01:01he got this fraud alert from his bank a 75 damage fee from lyfts gore declined to the charge i
01:09reach
01:10out to you know my girls i have a 14 and 15 year old that had been to the beach
01:15earlier and so i i'm
01:16like hey did you guys take lyft today and they're they're like yeah but gore's daughters said they
01:23didn't leave a mess in the lyft contrary to what a lyft customer service rep told gore via chat they
01:30didn't have food or drinks in the car these girls were coming back from you know the beach they were
01:36in their towels coming back from the beach and they said well you know we we verify everything with
01:41uh the drivers and the driver you know sent us pictures and i said well i asked them i said
01:46to
01:46send me the pictures these are the pictures lyft told gore the driver provided them with showing
01:52evidence of the damage but he says his daughter pointed out a glaring issue she goes dad that's ai
01:58um you could see the gemini logo on the bottom right hand side of one of the photos and i'm
02:06like oh
02:06my god you're right so i tell them i said hey i said you know matter of fact i said
02:11you know these photos are ai generated gore says the lyft rep agreed that the images were created
02:16using ai apologized and blocked the driver from their app gore says he posted his story on a boca
02:24community facebook page getting several responses from other people who have had similar experiences
02:31see this is like the stuff that pissed me off yeah because this is the little stuff that you don't
02:36really think about like you take an uber you mind your business you get out tip the guy
02:41and that's it like don't try to pull nothing over on me like this that's not even an ai issue
02:47to me
02:48that's a person issue that's a scam that that that guy's a hole uh but again ai is a tool
02:54you use any
02:55tool the wrong way it can be you know it can be problems yeah that's wild yeah that that's yeah
03:02that's uh yeah just imagine somebody sending a picture hey ain't that um this how you left the car
03:09are you like i didn't leave the car like that also though if he is gonna like you can you
03:14can do ai
03:15photos without having the logo in the corner yeah that's not a requirement so if you are going to
03:20try to scam that way do a better job and be smarter yeah not make it so obvious actually don't
03:24do a
03:25better job yeah yeah exactly believe me yeah no that's wild and and and people look i happen to
03:32like ai i think you got to be careful with it yeah but i don't like it for reasons like
03:37this
03:37exactly like don't don't put no photoshop of me on um in a in a different body or something like
03:44that
03:44and try to say that was me and all that like i don't like that type of i know what
03:48i'm doing this
03:49afternoon i saw a picture of somebody uh post a picture of themselves and and she said not ai and
03:57i
03:57looked at her and said the hell it's not i think i saw a story about it i think i
04:05saw a story about
04:06it um i don't know if it was like a school teacher or something like that or or a student
04:10i had some
04:11ai videos going around like some teacher was twerking on a student or something like that
04:17it was something weird where i was just like man see that's the stuff i don't like yeah yeah just
04:22like
04:22anything else it should be used as a tool but it shouldn't be abused or taken advantage of you know
04:28reason for the wrong reasons the other thing that's kind of cool about this story is they
04:31actually believe the kids a lot of times it's like you know even dad even dad like come on okay
04:36whatever uh and and the i guess the person that he was in contact with at at lyft said oh
04:42yeah
04:43it's just cool that they actually believe like the kids yeah that's that's an easy scam to do
04:47teenagers or young 20s oh they messed up the vehicle yeah they probably do my mama would she
04:52wouldn't have called you wouldn't believe me she wouldn't have said hey did you leave a mess
04:56but why did you leave a mess that's what she would have said i ain't leaving no mess guilty to
05:02a
05:02proven innocent yes exactly in my house so so salute to that pops for believing this girls
05:09as i continue on the mixtape in the loot sports radio 16 we got to be kind of wary about
05:14the scams
05:15going on i think you need to be wary about people like this as well how do you feel about
05:20people
05:21having an emotional support animal oh i think it's vital sometimes yeah okay i'm glad you said
05:27sometimes i want to see how you feel about this one um if it's taking a little a step too
05:33far here
05:34is cbs news with a story about a man who is turning heads with his animal his support animal uh
05:40i guess pet
05:42whatever it is when you see an alligator coming down the street towards you it's only natural to
05:48either drop your jaw or panic that he'll drop his but alligator expert joe henny says his alligator poses
05:59no threat i've never met an alligator that will not bite you if you fall around the head like this
06:03their instinct is to grab you he does not do it you can reach in or rub his tongue he
06:07refuses to close
06:08his mouth we don't know why yeah there you go wallie was found in a pond at disney world
06:14he had to go and since in florida it's illegal to relocate alligators to another spot in the wild
06:21joe agreed to take him in today wallie lives on cheetos and chicken legs in joe's house near hershey
06:27pennsylvania without a cage good boy at this point i should probably say what should go without saying
06:35don't try this at home joe says there may not be another alligator on the planet as gentle and
06:41certainly no other it's cuddly i don't think i'd be here right now if this was just another guy with
06:47an alligator not that there's a whole lot of those out there but there's a special bond between you two
06:53very special he is my emotional support alligator you heard right emotional support alligator
07:02yeah if you see this video man this alligator is all on his lap with his mouth all open he
07:08got his
07:08hands all in his mouth got a leash on and he's actually walking the alligator
07:15alligators are gonna alligator at some point exactly that's what i was saying it's like people had
07:20old pet monkeys yes that's what i was gonna say i grew up in connecticut and there was a famous
07:24story
07:24this woman had a 200 pound chimpanzee for like 15 years and then sure enough eventually it her best
07:31friend leaving her blind and disfigured and they had to they had to shoot the monkey but the chimpanzee
07:36but yeah eventually like they they're still animals and they can still be violent and they might be
07:41great like this chimpanzee that was named travis they might be great yeah they might be great for 15
07:47years but then there's that one time that they almost killed your best friend and it's like oh yeah maybe
07:51this wasn't the best idea yeah i can't i can't i i need to see the video but i can't
07:57imagine that
07:58this is actually going to sustain it i ain't gonna lie the alligator did look very friendly but as my
08:03dad liked to say if it got teeth it bite don't trust none with teeth yeah i would not be
08:10putting my
08:11hand in its mouth thinking like oh it's never clamped down before rub its tongue yeah he was holding it
08:16like a baby he was holding it like a baby i think he got that um um that animal support
08:22um yeah vest on him how big is the alligator he was big enough yeah he was he was big
08:28it wasn't no
08:29small little alligator yeah damn yeah i don't know people crazy out here hey he abusing the system
08:35i'm like nah this ain't no emotional support animal man get the hell out of here with that you can't
08:40nah you can't do that it's the mid-state benalude sports radio 16 if you could have any restaurant
08:49go retro what which restaurant would you pick 713 go back to what it was yeah yeah
08:55oh this is a layup yeah so why are you thinking about it here is pizza hut uh that's it
09:02that's the
09:02answer hey they taking it back to the glory days are they really here is cbs news with what pizza

09:08doing in a certain part part of the country in the hills tucanic pennsylvania a familiar red roof
09:14catches the eye inside the vinyl booths tiffany style lamps and yes the salad bar you may remember
09:21from decades ago i mean it's amazing the comments we have about they have the red cups yeah yes we
09:28do
09:28tim sparks got his start working at a pizza hut that looked like this he's now president of dayland
09:34corporation which owns this franchise and more than 80 others around the country they've redecorated
09:40many restaurants to rewind the clock it looks exactly like the one that i remember from when i
09:45was a kid yeah that's what we were after some pizza hut classics are now top performing locations
09:51customers show up for a piece of their childhood it just brings back memories to share with their own kids
09:57when you finally find something that tastes how you genuinely remember it tasting like you can't let
10:04it go people come from two and three hours away and i'm not making that up more restaurants are serving
10:09up nostalgia franchises like burger king and kfc returned to old school logos and packaging in recent
10:15years at pizza hut they even brought back pac-man that's the answer man yeah to the point that we
10:23actually had this discussion uh in the family text not long ago uh there is an old style pizza hut
10:30restaurant in hempstead like the old with the does have a buffet too he said salad bar got the salad
10:36bar i don't know remember it has a spaghetti and all that i would be all over we actually were

10:41about we need to go to hempstead sometime and go to the and they and he he nailed it too
10:45they had those
10:46red cups red cups the plastic cups yeah yeah so um this is something here uh mention kfc going back
10:53to their old i wouldn't be bad at that man they bring back some of the old stuff from the
10:57menu oh
10:59yeah yeah like the honey barbecue wings oh yeah man well you've you wedges you've wandered upon a gold
11:04mine here i'm i'm thinking is fudruckers even a thing anymore i went to one not too long ago it's
11:10in
11:10the area it's a little bit outside of houston i i don't remember where it was exactly i forget now
11:15maybe like a 30 minute drive yeah yeah we went to one like a month ago i love fudruckers those
11:20old fudruckers were awesome what about old school churches oh the actual yeah now they're just like
11:26in gas stations and stuff yeah yeah i'd be scared to go to them but that man my parents used
11:31to love
11:31churches the old standalone yeah oh they used to be everywhere too yeah and i liked church's chicken
11:37the other one i was going to say that was mentioned was uh burger king i just loved like they
11:41used to
11:42have the crazy colors and some of them some of these fast food places still have them now but
11:47they're not the same like the indoor playgrounds the indoor playscapes and they're getting rid of
11:51them in a lot of places because they are kind of like you know they're kind of nasters yeah they're
11:54petri dishes yeah yeah but man the old mcdonald's and burger king's that had those and burking had
12:01all the crowns laid out and everything i love an old school fast food joint yeah keep sending them in
12:06somebody said there's the fudruckers and clear lake really and magnolia okay yeah i used to love
12:13going to this one across this one the first places i went to when i moved to houston the one
12:16that used
12:17to be here yeah yeah right across from the station um pretty good that cheese sauce and now you got
12:22me thinking about pizza i gotta hit i gotta go to hempstead man yeah yeah or if you don't want
12:27to go
12:27that far just order a piece of it i guess submit statement to lose sports radio 16 the raging italian
12:36yes yes yeah and i think uh he's mad about something i think we all could probably agree with
12:43118 to fill my tank here 118 i know i got nothing to show for it mine's but how do
12:50they charge you
12:51five dollars a damn gallon first of all how the you gonna pay about gas money you got 20 000
12:56in bikes my bikes have nothing to do i'm pissing money i'm pissing money away with these gas prices
13:02i drive a truck i get like 11 miles of gallon dude you're putting premium like a jerk you have
13:09how do you know the gas is not going to the same how do you know they're not pumping regular
13:15gas in the
13:15premium the tube is probably going to the same damn tank and you're paying 650 a gallon you
13:22ass you're paying five dollars you ain't getting premium you're probably putting regular you don't
13:26even know it i'm kind of with him on that i always thought about that people that use premium yeah
13:32i'm
13:32like how do you really know that you don't use a premium you don't you just got to trust trust
13:36the
13:36system good point yeah because my sister telling me she up in cleveland and the gas prices is way higher
13:42than they are down here are they six dollars yet five something it is for her because she used
13:46premium are you sure hey that's what she used she's paying for premium i'm like man i was thinking
13:53about how do you actually know you're using premium no you don't i just love how the rage in telling

14:08like that i did
14:08i had to do it i got to do everything's worth it when i first played the rage in italian

14:21what 28
14:21something like that yeah it was like a one minute clip 28 times to his point though obviously i mean
14:27that's something we can all agree on is the gas prices and i was at a gas station like a
14:31week or two
14:31ago and the guy at the other pump just started ranting to me kind of like him it's like i
14:35used to pay
14:3525 dollars now it's you know and i get it i know it stinks for all of us we can
14:40all we can all agree
14:40on that my favorite stories is people that say man i just got robbed pump number two got me it
14:47got me
14:48for fifty dollars i i used to have this saying when i was on my boat you know like if
14:52i wanted to run

14:59to always say well it's just gas i don't say that anymore yeah no i got to a point and
15:05look i'm not
15:05rich or anything but i got to a point the last couple years where i could just fill it up

17:06gas i've experienced that like sometimes my you know my mechanic i've never said that my mechanic but
17:12i have a guy that i go to a lot has said why don't you try some you know some
17:16premium and it it does you
17:18can feel it it performs a little better yeah yes if you're actually getting sometimes you can get
17:22but see sometimes you can get some bad gas too yeah you can see bad gas that kind of mess
17:27up your car
17:27right shoot i'm the wrong person to figure it after i go through a car wash i feel like my
17:34car running
17:34better yeah that's true too the car wash i'm like man it's riding clean now yeah you don't take it
17:40to
17:40the mechanic you take to the car wash yeah uh but on the flip side from the 832 they said
17:45i knew a truck
17:46driver that delivered gas to mom and pop gas stations and they would always order too much
17:51regular gas and the truck driver would tell them just dump it in the premium tank uh-huh or the
17:56owners might say that but yeah everybody out here scamming so there we go yeah
