0066: The Digital Eavesdropping Scandal: How Apple and Google Track Your Every Word
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Your digital devices are listening—even when you think they aren't. In this eye-opening episode, we pull back the curtain on how tech giants are secretly monitoring our daily conversations and movements, sometimes without our knowledge or consent.
We dive deep into the shocking privacy settlements facing Apple ($95 million) and Google ($1.4 billion) for allegedly recording users without permission. "If you say you want to go to Puerto Rico, next thing you know, you have a message in your inbox saying here's a Puerto Rico trip," D Hustle reveals, highlighting how our supposedly private conversations become targeted marketing opportunities.
The conversation shifts to Instagram's newest AI features, where we explore the fascinating yet concerning world of AI avatars that can engage in conversations, respond to DMs, and potentially blur the line between human and artificial interaction. We discuss the potential risks of "AI catfishing" and debate whether platforms should clearly mark when you're interacting with AI versus real people.
Raymond brings practical utility with his nuggets, including GetLinkInfo.com for verifying suspicious links before clicking and WhatShouldIReadNext.com for book recommendations. We also catch you up on the latest sports developments across NHL, NBA, MLB, and more, with passionate commentary especially around Aaron Judge and Juan Soto's ongoing rivalry.
As we navigate this increasingly AI-driven digital landscape, one question remains central: how much privacy are we willing to sacrifice for convenience?

Speaker 2Well, we'll see. And y'all let us know in the comments below what y'all think of raymond's show selection, because we definitely always have some type of opinion for him. And then we got my guy d hustle coming back with some sports. Obviously we got a lot of things going on.
Speaker 1He's already in gear mode, so uh, you know who's gonna be shouting out yeah, we don't have to throw out any uh inventory here or gear.
Speaker 2Yeah, okay, rayman's not coming back, no more with his outfit? I haven't seen that gear since he bought it.
Speaker 1It's funny too like I was going out the other day With the kids.
Speaker 3Yeah, I put the hat on. I was like I can't go out in public With this. I had to take the hat off, so and wear like a Nike hat.
Speaker 1That's your first mistake, right there Putting on the hat that was.
Speaker 3Yes, it's bad.
Speaker 2Well, we'll definitely cover All that during the sports this afternoon and then we'll have with two really high ticket items that we have to shout out on our show today. But other than that, fellas y'all ready for today's show.
Speaker 3Yeah, I'm ready, I'm excited, bobby Juarez.
Speaker 2Oh man, you know, actually low key. A big shout out to 1016. Give them a round of applause. One of our concierge here, jasmine, was just walking around with somebody and us showing off the podcast set up that we have and then she slipped up and said yeah, bobby's famous. Yeah, I guess I'm famous, everybody thinks I'm famous, you know right.
Instagram's New AI Features
Speaker 2If you haven't seen me yet, obviously check me out on IG. Click the like subscribe. I need to up my followers. I'm supposedly famous, but yeah, hood, famous, hood, famous, right Low key, right followers I'm supposedly famous, but um yeah, good, famous hood famous right, low key, right, low key.
Speaker 2They used to tell me I was twitter famous. I was only famous at the office, not in the streets. But hey, I'm working on it. But anyways, we're going to jump right into our tech talk this afternoon, and today we're going to be talking about instagram. Um, how many y'all have instagram? I have instagram. Every everybody has instagram you got instagram right.
Speaker 1Raymond got instagram due to me. Yeah, let's put that out there.
Speaker 2Yeah, I'm not, uh I'm not the best instagram user so yeah, uh, yeah, well I got some tools for you that definitely could hopefully enhance your instagram. Um, how can I say fluency on the platform? Uh, but do remember that we are talking about ai and we're always talking about ai during the text uh segment. Um, but the cool thing about conversation today is instagram has introduced some type of ai, a few ai features and functionality, um, one of the ones I heard d hustle just talking about.
Speaker 2Uh is like helping you write and reply back to stuff you seen that popped up a few times yeah, have you used it, yet no would you use it?
Speaker 2uh, yeah, yeah, definitely yeah I think I've seen it pop up in the uh dms right in the dm section and it has like the little meta ai help you draft, I guess, a respond back. Have you used it yet, raymond? No, yeah, so can you elaborate on that? So this feature that d was bringing up or talking about was, let's say, that somebody dms you right, um and indoor. If you just think about texting, right, right, somebody texts you, you send you a message. Most of the times we have to come up and think about what we want to draft and put in there, but nowadays AI is everywhere so that you can have it automatically generate a response for you and then you just review it and you submit it. Now that same feature is available inside of IG DMs, so that you don't have to really think a lot about what you want to reply, but you actually let the AI automatically reply for you. I see Raymond's mind going or turning right now. Yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 3I can slide into someone's DMs and just have the AI send something for me, yeah.
Speaker 2I've already seen that.
Speaker 2Yeah, my head is turning right now, exactly right as many people be in your DMs. Raymond, right, yeah, raymond, don't call him Ray Ray, but that feature, right. There is more or less one of these cool features that Instagram meta is starting to roll out even more. But there's this other cool thing, that another feature that came up in my feed and I don't know if you'll notice it and I don't know if y'all notice it, but I don't have an image of it. But if you go to your DMs, there's this new little icon that pops up in the top right hand side and it has like little eyes and it looks like a star and basically what that is is giving you access to other people's AI instances that they create AI's instances that they create.
Speaker 2So we've reported before on this show about chat GPT having these little smaller GPTs, like they're little smaller instances that people can share out. On chat GPT, instagram is basically introducing the same thing. But the thing that I'm noticing on Instagram, which I think chat GPT has a long way to catch up, is that Instagram's version of these AI avatars are actually low-key, like your chatbots that are in your DM stream, and what I mean by that is is when you go to your DMs on Instagram, it lists all the people that send you some messages. If they like your story, they'll reply back and stuff like that. But now, whenever you chat with an avatar avatar, ai it automatically adds them to the stream and their avatar is now talking to you, right, um?
Speaker 2And it sent me a message in the middle of the day like hey, bobby, I haven't heard back from you. I was like what? And I chatted with it and was like hey, can you tell me you know what movie recommendation? Because you can have an avatar that is used for multiple things. I was like hey, here goes the last list of the new two, three new movies that are about to be released. Do you want more information? And the thing that came to mind for me about this new AI avatar that's available on Instagram is people are going to be using it not just for information purposes, but I think there's going to be like and I think raymond talked about this before that people are going to have like real conversations with these ais and low-key might even have, like an ai, a partner, or like a girlfriend, a boyfriend type thing, because it actually has the, the capability of creating like that emotional conversation right um, and the first thing that popped in my mind is emotional damage is the risk, right, uh is imagine if and I'm gonna be raymond, don't call him ray out of the three of us, he's the one that's still in these streets, uh is close to me
Speaker 2I mean you out in these streets, player you streets. His options are open. D Hustle and I are locked down. A big shout out to our wives. But if you think about one of the things I think Raymond has a challenge with, especially during this era, is the texting back and forth With a potential candidate or for the roster. Raymond's trying to build a roster, oh shit.
Speaker 2You're making me sound like uh djr here or something I'm just messing around, but anyways, uh, that back and forth right um, that you have to be willing and have the ability to engage, uh through dms or through texting, is a skill, would you say, raymond, absolutely yeah, it's a very uh challenging skill.
Speaker 3You gotta have some thoughtful conversations and be interesting and not boring.
Speaker 2Yes, yeah, yeah. And have you seen yourself stumble in terms of conversation wise, yeah like I think I'm the king of small talk and it's like scaring the uh, the ladies away yeah, the potential candidates, yeah, yeah, um, and and the other thing that I think even I do this when I text is I and the area that I come from. We don't really write short messages Like. We're writing like a little mini paragraph, maybe two or three sentences in a reply, right?
Speaker 1So you got me fooled there.
Speaker 2D says no, I don't write like that, right, but I usually write too much in my replies. And? But I usually write too much in my replies and I definitely have difficulties texting. It's not one of my best means of communication, but one of the things that I see. Something like this is for instance, raymond could practice hollering at a girl through DM but talking to an AI just to practice texting or practice replying back to interesting messages and low-key.
Speaker 2I've already seen them have those type of avatars available in their studio, which is where they have everybody you know. As you create, you can share them out. People are actually talking with these ais and I was pulling up their website and I noticed that there was one ai that had almost uh 2.5 or 2.3 million messages. Look at this uh ai avatar right here three million messages. Look at this AI avatar right here 3 million messages. That means there's been conversation. Or this one right here 11.5 million messages, and all they are are just AIs. That if you like the AI avatar and you want to kind of have a conversation with it, the AI avatar will be there to reply back and have a conversation with you. Do you have any concerns with that or how you feel about it.
Speaker 3Yeah, now I have a concern. Are they going to like put it out on front street that this is an AI? Let's just say I jumped into Pooja's DMs right there. I see you showing the popular AI? Is it going to clearly state that Pooja is an AI?
Speaker 2It does not say that, though, I'm about to check out my phone right now, because I used to work with a puja by the way, a big shout out to puja. Yes, uh. But when you go inside the app, uh, it does say at the top that this ai is by this person. You see the person's name under there, right raham, underscore.
Speaker 2Uh, I can't pronounce that p-u-j-a it says that but technically, you can't really tell, unless you read the description, that this message was generated by an ai. So they do have some information at the top and you can click more, um, but the messages themselves, or the conversation itself, are flowing very easily, right? So you could almost be chatting up and forget that puja is an ai, because the conversation just flows. You get, I'm saying right, but what's your concern, though, is that you you would be talking to, uh, an ai and not know it's a person or thinking it's a person yeah, like if I know up front it's an ai, I'm fine with it.
Speaker 3But like you know, I want to know up front yeah, yeah why, uh, that's just gonna. I just want to know, like I don't want to just talk to A person. It's not a person, it's an AI.
Speaker 1But won't you Get to that part? Won't you say After you start meeting with your candidates, let's go out and meet? I want to know.
Speaker 3I want to know that. I want to know that beforehand. How long?
Speaker 1are you going to be Texting this person Is what I'm trying to figure out. I mean, you're gonna be in a whole month texting and not going out with anybody uh, no, generally not.
Speaker 3Obviously, the next step would be like a facetime or something like that right, right so but yeah so yeah, I mean so.
Speaker 2So that's that's your guard against getting catfished, or they might even need to come up with a new word for ai catfished. Yeah, uh, is that? That? When it goes to that next step, you're like, hey, I need your phone number and I need to FaceTime so I can see your face. Yes, okay, okay. So that still does not prevent you from initially triggering or starting a conversation with an AI and not knowing it's an AI.
Speaker 3Yeah, wasting my time. But if you're developing skills, that is, yeah, the development skills. I'm all good for that, but I'm like, if I'm just like really trying to like you know, holler at somebody I want to.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, I feel you know. I feel you know. I mean, I think they they're testing this out to see the best use case. I personally don't really see how, let's say, for instance, creators will make some type of income from this. For instance, creators will make some type of income from this. But it is a cool feature to be able to engage with somebody around certain topics because they have gamings. Like, if there's a game that you like to play, you can chat up with an AI that talks about the game more. Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 2Let's say that you have an anime that you watch and you want to talk to one of the actual anime characters, right, you can actually click on that chat bot and then talk to that character. I actually seen one that popped up that was Drake. It was like, hey, if you want to talk to Drake and ask Drake, the artist Drake, what's your favorite song or what's your favorite this, that and this, the AI is obviously generating because it doesn't really know Drake's real thoughts, but at least it's like, hey, uh, having that type of connection or communication with someone through this interface being an ai instance. So I don't know, I'm I'm a little my opinion. I I'm gonna get d hustle's opinion, but my opinion is kind of on the shaky side on this. Uh, use case for it. But uh, what do you think? D?
AI Avatars and Identity Verification
Speaker 1um, it's good and it's not good. As far as Raymond's thought yeah, I want to talk to somebody you and but me. I will use it as, let's say, nine times out of 10, if I'm driving, I'm going to use the AI to reply back to whatever it is.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, that's a great idea, okay.
Speaker 1You know if I'm driving or if I'm kind of busy, I'll say hey, please reply back to Bobby or Raymond.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1You know, please tell him this, hit send. Yeah, you know, let the dude have my hands tied up.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1But then again it goes to if you want to see who it is, the first thing I'm going to do is, if I see your profile, I want to make sure you are an actual person.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, yeah, like an actual, real person.
Speaker 1There are instances there that there are people here who are the person, but it's not that person, they're just scammers. Yeah, so you have to be very, very careful like, and for your instance, I would hey, after a cup, like a day or two, let's facetime, let's uh let's make sure that you are who you say you are, you know. And then of course I mean sorry that you wasted several hours slash whatever with that person. But back to the drawing board again.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1But it's good to reply back. It's good to not use your fingertips and stuff like that. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1I will personally do my own.
Speaker 2Like your own avatar.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, To match my profile.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, okay, my profile, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, and to match your personality so that it automatically kind of like knows how you would reply, type stuff.
Speaker 1Dress me up differently.
Speaker 2I'm like damn look at Tiazo.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, I mean, I have that option. I don't use it as much. As far as the avatar, what do you mean? You have that option. On my Instagram.
Speaker 2Oh, okay, okay, okay I got you.
Speaker 1I don't have my avatar, you know, dressed up.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Or anything like that. I do reply back to people, stuff like that, but nine times out of ten I just use my fingers.
Speaker 2Yeah, so you've already been using Some of these features. Yeah, okay, that's cool.
Speaker 1For some of you users who don't have Instagram If you have, facebook is on Facebook also.
Speaker 2Yeah, I didn't try Facebook, but I know that they kind of have some of the same features.
Speaker 1I don't have Facebook either, but you know same company. I'm assuming that they have the same shit. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean they're all intertwined and technically this is in the website that I just pulled up was AISTudioInstagramcom, and in the top right-hand corner it says so it's all under the same umbrella, type stuff. My biggest thing about this is, first of all, I like this idea that they're creating these instances, but I think there need to be like an identifier, so when you first see the instance, you knew off rip that you're talking to an individual or an AI. One thing that I know that kind of helps with this is you know the little blue check that you used to get on.
Speaker 1Twitter Verified.
Speaker 2Verified right kind of helps with this is, you know, the little blue check that you used to get on twitter verified, verified right is that they should create something like an ai, check right or an ai mark, like. If I look at this image, what I would want for this ai is in the bottom right hand corner. You see this little green dot right there, and this image here is to make that green dot bigger, right, and then it's consistency across all of them. So then there's a green dot here, there's a green dot here, and they all let me know like oh, I'm talking to an ai or I'm not talking to an individual I thought you meant that they are online right now.
Speaker 2Yeah, right is is that same thing like. Whatever that that marker is, it could be a blue dot, it could be an orange dot or anything that they should identify it off. Rip that. Hey, I'm talking to an instance of an ai. Um, so then I don't have that, that confusion and for bobby's, the fans there.
Speaker 1Raymond, if you only see one picture, it's no go you go to their profile, there's only one picture yeah.
Speaker 2If it's just a headshot, yeah, yeah and if they, if the link right there starts with only fans okay, all right, that's good information here. That's probably not not a good one to go to.
Speaker 1There's a lot of ladies that uh request me as a friend and they, uh, they all have their same picture yeah same person. But a catch is they have a whole bunch of let's say, they put like seven pictures out. They're all from the fucking same day. Yeah, yeah, so you know, that they're not okay real and they have no fucking following. No, nothing, they just started. Then they have that link on the top that I want you to click do not.
Speaker 2Do not hit none of that. Do not click the link please interesting.
Speaker 3Yeah, that brings up to one of my nuggets coming up then.
Speaker 2Okay, uh, that's what's up well in general, um, the the cool thing about what we're experiencing right now in this AI era is that everybody's trying to find a great use case for it, and especially on platforms that we're really familiar with In our generation IG, facebook, instagram, twitter, tiktok all of them are going to start to integrate more stuff with AI, because that's like the hottest thing, but also a cool feature that's available. Just keep your eyes open, utilize them. Like D is saying, as you know, uh, uh, utilities rather than um, like Raymond said, uh, thinking that you're talking to somebody, right, make sure you confirm that. Uh, but check out these new features. See if it's something that flies. And the other thing that I was going to drop in terms of uh, why, why, I'm kind of about it is there's no real defined way that people are making money off of this right.
Speaker 2So if I have an ai here that has 4.4 million messages in conversation, I want to be able to make bread off of this, right, I want to find a way to make, like, some type of income stream. It's not well defined yet. Um, hopefully they do find a way for us to to to enable that. Then that might inspire me to. You know, create an ai for AI for, let's say, the Tech Hustle Academy, right, it's like hey, if you want to learn AI, go talk to this AI avatar that will teach you certain things or start to offer my products If and when we get there. I think that would definitely be a use case for me for it. But right now it's just you know, like a novelty type tool, like hey, cool, I got an avatar you can talk to. You know, like a novelty type tool like hey, cool, I got an avatar. Um, you can talk to. You know many me type stuff, but we'll see where it goes. All right, fellas. That's all that.
Speaker 2I got any other questions before we uh, move on. Yeah, raymond up in your texan game. Yeah, you got to get that practice in, bro. It's repetition, bro. Yeah, no, I agree, yeah, yeah, you can't be on the court and not shoot the ball. Right, it's gonna be passing. He's gonna be passing the last shot and he's gonna he take inspiration from somebody, but we'll leave that alone, all right. Well, and definitely both y'all. Thank y'all so much for uh joining in the conversation about tech ai instagram. If y'all do have any questions or any really cool experiences, drop them in the comments below. We're always watching and we definitely want to collaborate with you all, so hit us, hit us up and let us know. Next up, we got my guy d hustle with some um tech current events. What's going on? Player good morning.
Speaker 1Ladies and gentlemen, happy thursday. I know it's out of sequence for my man, raymond, but it is what it is he's all morning, good evening, good afternoon. Welcome to the tech hustle events. If you guys have not been here before, welcome. This is where we go. We give you the latest news or updates of tech and, if you are recurring, thank you for joining us.
Speaker 2What up, what up, what up Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome.
Speaker 1Apple. I'm not going to talk about an update, because there is an update.
Speaker 2Another one? Yes, there is.
Speaker 1I'm not going to talk about it, but this is Apple's way of saying Listen, there's a lot of crap going on In the industry. Let me give you guys something a little better. Apple is updating their maps For all of us To bring out some bougie-ness on us. When I say bougie-ness, apple has collaborated with Michelin Guide. They are infiltrating in golf for you guys to find the recommendations for restaurants and golf courses around your area.
Speaker 1So if you guys want some five-star Michelin, four-star Michelin, three-star Michelin, that wine, and that is for everybody's or for Raymond's preference.
Speaker 2Escapades.
Speaker 1You're more than welcome to see it now on.
Speaker 2Apple.
Speaker 1But guess what? You have to download it. You got to update download and everything In order for you to get this. So in case you guys don't know what Michelin is, it's a high-class dining experience from one of the top chefs in the world.
Speaker 1Basically, what they do is you go out to these Michelin locations. High-class chef will help and serve you whatever it is they want breakfast, lunch, dinner, whatever it's supposed to be high-class, well-gut tasting, and everything it is costly. Yeah, dinner, whatever it's supposed to be high class, well good tasting, and everything it is costly. Yeah, yeah, interesting, but it's a good experience for you guys.
Speaker 2So would you say, like for me, like I view, like Yelp is like the baseline, and then I have OpenTable, which is a little bit higher than OpenTable. Michelin would be higher than OpenTable. Affirmative Ah, okay, I got you. I. Affirmative. Ah okay, I got you. I got you Affirmative.
Speaker 1Now, just to give you a heads up, some of these Michelins are not your AKA jerk chicken slash Jamaican food. These are very small portions.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah so.
Speaker 1I don't want to give you that experience that you're given. You know, on average you're going to be paying for a nice dinner, maybe a $75 plate. Yeah yeah, that's very small. If you have it. That's Raymond. First you have to be in the relationship with that.
Speaker 2This is not a first time situation. This is not an okay, don't take it to no more. Alright.
Speaker 3So definitely I will not put that on my radar. Yeah, don't put it on the radar For the ladies.
Speaker 1Yeah, that will be for us, mary guys. Yeah, I got you, okay you know we've been in the relationship for years let's get something nice keep the fire going. I appreciate that, yeah you know, this is a one time for all you guys, you don't have to do any consistent.
Speaker 2If you have the money, congratulations he said we don't do it that often though but also this is also for bobby, because he likes to golf a lot.
Speaker 1So then, if you like golf, this will also show you golf places around your area. So, speaking, of golf.
Speaker 3I went to the range last week. You did, I did. It was embarrassing because I was hoping nobody was going to be there so they wouldn't see how bad I was, okay, but of course there was a guy there killing it. And then this other guy showed up next to me and he started like trying to help me. Hey, son, you're not doing that right yeah, so this is where drive shack. Uh, no, this was at the world palm, world palm yeah, commons so yeah, raymond.
Speaker 2Um, I'm happy that you're out there yeah, for sure I was having fun and that's the key thing is that you're having fun and enjoying it. Just don't go out there thinking you're tiger woods on day one I wasn't so you got to build up to that level.
Speaker 1You must be selling something wrong because you have somebody coming out of their time to help you out of fucking golf. That's a problem.
Speaker 3I was like bro, can you just do your own thing?
Speaker 1and leave me alone. You don't say I'm going to say it for you.
Speaker 3You fucking suck bro.
Speaker 1Like come on man, tell somebody to come. What are you doing? Which? Means is you're not hitting the ball, not even 10 feet far.
Speaker 3I was not. I wasn't even holding it properly, wow. Shit but it's like I appreciate the help, sir, but just you know, just Be prepared for that, raven.
Speaker 2I know I hate that, bro, and I'll say as soon as people stop talking to you about it, then that means you're finally there, yeah.
Speaker 1But best of luck for that. Yeah, apple now is just trying to up their I guess their ratings, so this is one of their ways. On that next subject that we have, we have what happened? Google to pay Texas 1.4 million to settle data privacy claims.
Speaker 1Wow, 1.4 billion, that is a lot that is a lot, for you know what's going on over there? I guess there is in Texas. There's a big tech going on from, paxson said in the settlement. Four years Google tracked people's movement, private searches and their voice prints and facial geometry through their products and service Wow. So he fought back and he is winning. Wow, not to show what's going on over there in Google, but they're collecting millions of identifications, including voice prints and records and face geometry through these products and services. As far as Google Photos and Google Assist, according to Paxson, the $1.4 million payout is the largest ever received by a US state. In the data privacy settlement In 2003, the company agreed to pay $700 million and make several consensus to settlement regulations to stiff competition in Android App Store.
Speaker 2Yeah, I remember that one.
Speaker 1So that's crazy. That is crazy. A lot of privacy issues, a lot of.
Tech Current Events: Apple Maps Update
Speaker 2Yeah, one point some billion dollars is definitely a very, very high penalty, but if you think about what they've actually done for the consumer, is that they've they basically forcing Google to be more respective of our openness, to give them away our data and I haven't read all the details, but the stuff that you were mentioning like hey, obviously they're listening all the time. Obviously we're using all their apps so they know what we search. They're using maps so they know our locations, and all this data put together gives them an upper hand on advertising to us and making money off of us. And dang, the state of Texas is like yo, you need to write that check if y'all making that money 1.4 billion. That's crazy, though.
Speaker 1They are listening in. That is a womp womp womp for you. But another womp womp, womp because you guys giving out that information Facts. And then another womp womp, womp because you guys saying you guys are secure and I'm going to fucking not give our leak out information. Yeah.
Speaker 2Oh well, oh well, well, they're going to pay that money though, womp, womp, womp.
Speaker 1Good luck to Google. I mean over there, and hopefully I'm living in Texas at that time frame so I can go ahead and claim some of that, so we can see what the fuck is going on.
Speaker 2He was like where's the website?
Speaker 1I have to put my email address on so I can get some of this, all these data privacy claims, for sure shit, yeah, uh next what else we got?
Speaker 2oh, another one.
Speaker 1You know what, like I said, uh, since google, uh, people who wants to be like Google wants to follow Google. Guess who's right behind it. Who's that? Apple, apple, I thought.
Speaker 3Apple was the best with privacy and all that. At least, that's what they said. Well, let me help you out.
Speaker 1I got an email a couple of days ago about this Lopez versus Apple, who's now about the Siri triggered. The settlement is $95 million settlement for Apple. Let me tell you what's going on here with Apple? I don't even know where to start.
Speaker 3Yeah, okay, so it's settled then.
Speaker 2Well, they had to.
Speaker 3No.
Speaker 1So this is $95 million. It's basically what's going on then. Well, they had to. No, so this is 95 million. Is basically what's going on. I guess siri is accelerating recording apple's conversations where iphone uses and other devices wow, say that again.
Speaker 2Other devices are recording.
Speaker 1Wow, apple aka siri is used secretly recording everybody who is using Apple, iphones, macs and other devices. So, if you're talking to another Apple to an Apple, or if you're talking to an Apple to a Mac, if you're talking to a Mac to an Apple or an Apple to an Android, siri is listening in to all the conversations. Okay, android, yeah, Siri, yeah, is listening in to all the conversations. Wow, okay, recording From what they're saying. It's happening when they Even though, when they're not activated the virtual assistants, when they say hey, siri.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Google's $1.4B Privacy Settlement
Speaker 1Right, they're listening in. Wow, Wow. Alright, that's wild. So here's exactly. Here's the bummer. A lot of people you know are doing the Apple series situation. They are in conflict in the long run because they're on the plague to protect the customer privacy, but Apple has not admitted to their wrongdoing. All right Now. Here's the catch. Right now it's in the court settlement.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Right, if they win, apple Will give people $20.
Speaker 2Oh, so that's why you're not settled, yet. Ah, okay, we'll see Right.
Speaker 1Each person will get $20, whoever have met. So if you have a family of four, you have $80. Yeah Right, this only happens If you claim. They claim it could be $20. Now, if another people does not claim, you can get more than that. Ah, all right, so the payment would be higher, depending, of course, whoever claims the file, which I already claimed.
Speaker 3All right, we should know that I wish them all claims.
Speaker 2He was like where's the link at?
Speaker 1The link already they sent me. I already claimed, I'm ready to collect Again. The payment Is going to be higher Only if a lot of people Does not claim yeah, now it's a small fee, right. Here's what happens Right now there's a small fee document Because Apple could have paid 1.5 billion, which was right behind google. Yeah, if they, if they would have found a lawsuit, if the judge would figure out the lawsuit, yeah. So instead of them paying the 1.5 million, they're probably going to settle for the 95 million yeah, yeah, yeah, that's crazy again.
Speaker 1You thought it was Privacy for Apple. No, did I say Apple wants to learn From Google. There it goes.
Speaker 3That's bad.
Speaker 1Did I tell you Apple's listening? I've been telling you guys For a good little minute. Yeah, you have. If you say you want to Go to Puerto Rico, next thing you know you have a message In your inbox Saying that you here's a Puerto Rico trip Facts. How are you listening to this? Alexa is going to be part of it too, don't worry about it.
Speaker 2Yeah, amazon's next up, right, yeah, yeah. How do you feel about it, raymond?
Speaker 3Yeah, that's not good. I mean, like, what are your choices? It's only A Google phone or an Apple phone, so they're both listening, yeah.
Speaker 1So even if you get your Activate that, hey, they're both listening. Yeah, so even if you get your activate that, hey, siri or not, regardless, they're still listening. They're still listening, yeah that's bad, yeah.
Speaker 2And then the other thing that I caught in your report there is that the devices like start to know about each other, because we know that. I'll give you a perfect example. You ever go to somebody's Wi-Fi or somebody's house and you say, hey, I want the Wi-Fi password. Now it broadcasts out and everybody's iPhone that's on your contact it automatically shares the password. So for me, that means that my phone is able to talk to other Apples. And what you're reporting is is like, hey, not only doing that in terms of broadcast, but also listening across multiple Apple devices and syncing up that data. That is crazy that they're doing all this stuff. Doing all this stuff.
Speaker 1That's crazy when you come over to my house, I already get all my Aero system saying new device has logged in. Yep, yep. I'm like who the fuck just came to my house? Yep, yep, yep. That lets me know.
Speaker 1Hey, bobby's here or whoever it is, you go in. You look exactly what it is. They all the same thing, perfect example. Another give you acting like you guys are crazy or not crazy. Let's say you're leaving for work, or let's you know you work Monday through Friday. Let's just give an example and you take Thursday off, right, and you get in your car and it tells you you have 35 minutes to get to work.
Speaker 2Yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 1Bitch. How do you know I'm going to work? Who the fuck told you that I'm going to work? I'm listening, Did you not know. That I have a day off, you know? I mean, if you're listening, talk to me.
Speaker 2Yeah, give me lottery numbers. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1Let's see how smart you are.
Speaker 2Facts right, that is wild.
Speaker 1That's all I got. Gentlemen, Hopefully everybody Is understanding that there is no such thing as privacy Data. You're getting a lot of emails. No matter how many times I get stuff in the email, I put it to the trash or freaking, how you call it trash it.
Speaker 2Just report it spam.
Speaker 1Yeah, I report it spam, the same shit comes up on the consistent, your email will never be the fucking same. The best thing for you to do is not give an email out.
Speaker 2Yeah, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 1Well.
Speaker 2D. Thank you so much for those uh insights. Uh, and yeah, y'all, y'all need to manage our data for sure. Raymond's nuggets is up next. What's going on, player?
Speaker 1oh my goodness he wasn't ready over there.
Speaker 3He's still thinking about data loss, bro.
Speaker 1What's going on?
Speaker 2actually he's thinking about the conversation he was having with one of his roster picks. Yeah, that's, that's what it was. Yeah, so what's up?
Speaker 3player well, not much, so I'm gonna like I said, this is my, uh, my b tier, not my a tier of stuff here, so the first one.
Speaker 3Here you guys were talking about instagram and advising me, giving me advice on not to click a link on the. You know if I get a message from one of the ladies and stuff like that. So this website is kind of flaky, but the premise is good, based on what you guys were saying about the links and stuff. I'm not really on Instagram like that a lot. I'm on Twitter a lot and there's a lot of suspicious links that don't click on it and stuff like that. So I'm going to drop this site on here. It's called Get Link Info. If you want to click on it here, bobby D, it's kind of janky, slow. The premise is good if it eventually loads up here. Um, just like um. I don't know if you want to put in espncom and there, bobby I got an example here right here, okay, you can do that.
Speaker 3So like if you're on instagram or twitter and you see like a short link or something janky or that looks weird, the concept is good to where you come in here you put it in. It's supposed to let you know if it's a safe url or not. But, like I said, this site is not great, it's slow.
Speaker 2The concept is good if it eventually comes up here, but um, yeah if you're on link info, yeah, so if you're on twitter or instagram and you're not sure if this link is safe yeah uh, check the site out so basically, it says that it previews tiny urls don't you know those url shorteners type stuff and then don't you know the links that twitter gives you, like tco, and then has some randomized number around it is. It sees the original url and basically finds out where the url redirects and gets the website title description and basically lets you know if this is a malicious site or phishing site.
Speaker 3Um, and it's powered by google safe browser yes, I guess I'll let you know if it's only fans site or whatever why are you trying to verify, if only fans? I'm not trying to go to someone's only fans, so yeah, that's what we hear.
Speaker 2I mean you still click on the link to check it out. You check the price, price out, that's what you're checking out.
Speaker 1It's all the same price, bro.
Speaker 3But yeah, so yeah.
Speaker 2Oh, look at that. It actually returned back and it says, hey, it's not no title, no description, a URL, and then it says cannot connect to website operation timed out. So I don't know how safe this is.
Speaker 3Yeah, so I don't know how safe this is. Yeah, so. But yeah, like I said, the site's kind of slow and janky, but the concept is good, so yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, get link infocom to validate short links and links um to make sure they're going where they're supposed to go.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, you know what Low key I wish they would add this type of thing on all the links that they have on an email to verify that, hey, this link is safe or this link is, you know, suspect within the email before you know we receive it, that's with the security of wherever you work at, or if you've got that embedded in your email program.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, yeah so where I worked at they did that They'd scan all the links and stuff like that?
Speaker 2Oh, they didn't Before you got it yeah. But yeah.
Speaker 3No, that's a good idea, like you said there, bobby D.
Speaker 2Yeah. Maybe, that might be Something we build out here. Yeah.
Speaker 1I need to know Some of these links To see if or not I gotta be like Put on the bottom, safe or something. It's crazy, bro. I had a conversation.
Speaker 3I'm thinking is this website good? Yeah, what the fuck Did you end up buying it or no.
Speaker 1Actually not yet you see he's still suspect. No, because I had to do a lot of research after that.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1When I went to eBay, they had the same thing and they are the same company.
Speaker 2Ah, okay okay.
Speaker 1So it does say if you want to buy, go to this website, which is the I was like okay, thank god, yeah, uh.
Speaker 2So yeah, I'm just waiting for, uh, a product to come in stock, but then I can go ahead and make a purchase. But but I I will say in terms of uh, safety around emails, I like the not emails, but links and website. I like the fact that you always question it right, rather than having the initial like oh, just put in my credit card number and push the button right. Um, is we should be suspicious about any site that you go to, making sure that they're secure, making sure that you can find other backlinks to it, like go to ebay and see if they sell the same product and are talking about the website like. You have to do those extra due diligence. If not, you're gonna get called.
Speaker 3Okay, you're gonna get scammed or taken or check out getlinkinfocom for sure all right, raymond.
Speaker 2What else you got player?
Speaker 3all right, this one's not sexy, exciting or nothing like that. This is um. I'm gonna drop it in here. This is for all you avid readers in here, like d hustle and bobby d, I'm not an avid reader. I wish I was. I wish I read, you should you should I should. I know you read. Would you do audiobooks or I do?
Apple's $95M Recording Lawsuit
Speaker 2both actually, um, I got this new and I'm sorry for this quick sidebar. I got this new, new talk that I do talking about the power of reading to help increase your ability to manifest. And what it is is when you do audiobooks either audiobooks or reading them you'll have this point where you're starting to imagine the book in your head but you're also still reading it or you're still listening. That trigger right there, if you think about about it, is what manifestation or manifesting your future is. So practicing reading or the importance of reading is so that that muscle and practice is always there. So it's a little sidebar. If y'all want more information, check me out online, click the like, subscribe, join, holler at me and I can definitely give y'all some more insights.
Speaker 1But yes, I do enjoy reading I'm gonna give you another sidebar too. Hold on, go ahead for other people. Who has not uh out there, reading at least one book a day helps your brain now, helps figure shit out.
Speaker 2Uh, and help you know your all fans only fans out too, you know you don't have to keep going on that yeah, just to elevate your mind, figure out what's going on okay, I mean, it might save you some money, bro, if you start reading where are you trying to start?
Speaker 1That's funny, Raymond's like I want to be the reflow of the movies out. Yeah, you know that's funny.
Speaker 3What's going on, raymond. Yeah, no, reading is important. Like I said, I wish I read more. It reminds me of the funny skit that 50 Cent did a few years ago about Floyd Mayweather, when he was struggling reading those, struggling reading those. What was that book he was trying to read, or whatever?
Speaker 2I don't know, but that's one of my Dr Seuss. Maybe it was hilarious though.
Speaker 3The chap can't read. I guess he doesn't have to. Reading is important.
Speaker 1It's going to suck for him if he ever have a kid, because he's not going to teach his kid how to read. So he's going to have to pay somebody. But you got the money, baby, don't even worry about it. That's true, but you got the money, baby, don't even worry about it.
Speaker 3It is what it is, but, yeah, I wish I read more, so I'm going to drop this tool or utility in here and it's called what Should I Read Next. For you avid readers like D Hustle and Bobby D, you go to this site and you basically what you do is you can type in a book that you read, or you could put in the author and it will give you suggestions on what your next read is. For example, bobby d. Go in here and put in war and peace in the search war and peace.
Speaker 3Yeah, which is a very famous book called war and peace. You just type that in and do search and um there it goes, come on click on that, it will. It will give you suggestions on other books that are related to their authors.
Speaker 2I mean, you're going to get an ad first, you will get an ad. They need to make some money first.
Speaker 3I did tell you before that this is the beer selection. Ah, okay, okay. But yeah, this is what this site is, so it gives you different recommendations on what you should read based on what you've read based on the author or a book.
Speaker 2Okay, yeah, I like that. I like the idea that it kind of because that's always my biggest challenge is what should I read next?
Speaker 3What am I into?
Speaker 2My biggest reading selections are always tech, computer books, right? So you go to my office there's all like how does you know set up a Windows system or how do you set up a Unix system? And I love reading through those books because it actually helps me kind of like imagine what it really is. But then I also like to read, like you know, books like the Alchemist right, it's talking about dreams and aspirations, setting up, you know, pathways to things that you want to succeed in.
Speaker 2Or even a book that I'm actually just reading right now is called uh, who, not how. Um, it's not. It's basically talking about when you're thinking about an idea, um, especially when you're in the entrepreneurship lane, is not like how it's going to be done, but who is going to do it for me or with me in collaboration? So, uh, but I'm always stuck on like what should I read next? What should I read next? What should?
Speaker 3I read next. So definitely thank you for the site. Check this site out what shouldireadnextcom.
Speaker 2All right, yeah, and be ready for some advertisement here.
Speaker 3Yes, like I said, the B selection.
Speaker 2Yeah, all right players. So now it's time for you to really drop some recommendations. This part of the segment I think I enjoy the most, because it definitely lets me know what you're interested in, what you've been watching. Um, but no pressure at all yeah, no, no pressure.
Speaker 3I know the audience, you know. Uh, they said I'm hitting 90 percent or the audience.
Speaker 2The audience said you hit 90.
Speaker 3I've had some people you know, you know, reach out and, like hey ray, it's some good selections there.
Speaker 1Keep it up.
Speaker 3Are they AI? They're not AI. I think they're real. You think they're real. They said I'm shooting 90%, maybe more. I'm like. I appreciate that, so I'll keep it going. So this is a show that's been out, actually, for eight years now.
Speaker 2All right.
Speaker 3Eight years. This show's been out for eight years. Some haters or some people, like one of my friends. He thought that the um, the first couple of seasons were the best and then he gave up on it. I think it's a great show. Like I said, it's been off for a few years actually, and they just came out with the final season about a month or two ago. I was scrolling the interwebs. I was like damn, they just came out with another season, came out of nowhere no, they just came out with another season, came out of nowhere no advertisement. They came out with the final season. They just had the finale on Tuesday. I just watched the finale last night. I finished it. Like I said, it's six seasons of the show. It's been out since 2017. I think it's a good show. It's a great show. It's a little disturbing.
Speaker 1The audience would like to know the show.
Speaker 3What audience would?
Speaker 1like to know the show, what the show is about.
Speaker 2So maybe we could all be the same. I'm curious if you guys have seen.
Speaker 3It's been out since 2017 um, you might have seen it already, bobby d, maybe, if you haven't said the show.
Speaker 1I'm warming it up for you guys here warming it up.
Speaker 3It's a good show. It's disturbing what the show is about like. Like I said, the finale just happened on Tuesday, this past Tuesday. It's six seasons Great show. I'm going to drop it in here right now. My opinion IMDb has given it an 8.5, 8.3. Have you guys ever watched this Handmaid's Tale? I see Bobby just pausing here, kind of giving me a face, uh. Dehustle of giving me a face, uh.
Speaker 1Oh, you see the show I have not uh finished it, my wife is in it.
Speaker 3Uh, she likes that shit okay, um, you're not a fan uh you sound like my friend now who said the first two seasons were the best. Uh-huh, and he gave up on it. It's six seasons yeah, I I you can't get into it.
Speaker 1It's okay If you like to prolong like Raymond does, and shit, definitely it's you. It's a good show, so much I'm like bro.
Speaker 3It's a lot going on.
Speaker 1This is like another fucking Shogun for my man.
Speaker 3Oh my gosh, it's not like Shogun I was waiting for him.
Speaker 2I was waiting for man. Oh my gosh, it's not like Shogun. I was waiting for him. I was waiting for him to give us the truth.
Speaker 3It's not like Shogun and the only hesitation is Shogun is only one season too, by the way D, so when you gave up on that, you couldn't even finish that.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's the problem.
Speaker 3You give up on shows too, it's a good show.
Speaker 1I'll just put it this way I didn't finish it.
Speaker 3There you go.
Speaker 1At least he knew the show. At least he knew the show. Okay, all right.
Speaker 2I've only seen glimpses of it and it definitely hasn't been on our radar.
Speaker 1I was advised this happened. They have something like this in real life.
Speaker 3Really that's disturbing.
Speaker 1I don't know how accurate that is, wow. I I don't know how accurate that is, wow, I'm going just by the source, whoa. But something like this is really, really I don't know, like it's going on or it happened before.
Speaker 2It happened before. Wow, no, I don't even want to jump in, yeah no, it's a good show.
Speaker 3You should check it out, bobby, it's a good show. It's a good show.
Speaker 1I didn't finish it Only if the wife puts it on and she's watching it, like I said, other than that, yeah, like I thought, they gave up on it and then out of nowhere they came out with the new season like a month ago, and I was like whoa and I was like this shit's still going on.
Speaker 3Bro, that's what I thought too, like it just came out like crank that out and yeah, this one might be nap time for me. I don't know these already giving me that like six seasons off you might love the first season, and then you'll just yeah, start dragging but I gotta get through six seasons well, first two seasons are the best according to everybody, but I still think it's a great show well, I'll mention it to the wife and see what she thinks.
Speaker 2but man, oh man, how about this Once?
Speaker 1you watch this, you're going to have a different point of perspective on Reemus' picks, oh my God.
Speaker 3So come on, and then you'll get to know what I'm talking about. You said it's a good show. D it was Again.
Speaker 1I didn't fucking finish it. Put it this way I stopped at four.
Speaker 2You stopped at four four. You stopped that episode four or season four, season four. Oh, you got way deep.
Speaker 1a lot of people because you know she was watching I watch it with her. You know, yada, yada, yada, but it's yeah, it's uh interesting yeah it's an interesting show. It's it's weird for me it is.
Speaker 3It's disturbing, but it's good. Yes, I think so.
Speaker 2Well, raymond I guess you you're pulling, I don't. I don't think this went like a swish like, but it definitely off the backboard. It's one of those that hit the rim hit the backboard, hit the rim, again hit the backboard. And didn't find his dribbling and he's like, oh, that made it Another analysis, it just goes around and around and around, it goes up and it comes right back in.

Speaker 1Yep and McCaffrey announces birth of son, his first child. Congratulations to him Congratulations yeah, but listen, if you don't fuck up on my fantasy, we're going to have a fucking problem. This is the last time. It was very hard for me to draft McCaffrey. I'm going to tell you that right now. I had to use a lot of money to get my man. Finally I got him and he was a bust for me.
Speaker 2A bust this year. Man, that's crazy, unbelievable that's crazy. Or last year?
Speaker 1rather he didn't play into the ninth week or tenth week.
Speaker 2if I can't, remember, and you kept him on the roster.
Speaker 1I kept him in the bench yes but if I'm spending a lot of money, I could have used that money on somebody else.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So get your kid out the way, figure that shit out. Let's get back into business.
Speaker 2Pre-season's on the way, you know, yeah, um talk about fantasy, uh, fantasy football. Is there anything that y'all do on offseason or preseason to kind of you know gauge who y'all gonna pick?
Speaker 1or y'all just keeping a good eye. We watch um, you know football yeah as far as preseason, uh, especially offseason yeah see how they doing. Are they working out and not working out?
Speaker 2man, it's like you are your own coach, bro, your own gm.
Speaker 1You're the gm and coach it's determinants if I'm gonna win a chip on. I don't know what raymond does, but I have a strategy on my end uh I mean I have a good strategy too.
Speaker 3I mean, I was obviously, I was the number one seed, but I look at you now.
Speaker 2Well, but number one, seed, meaning what?
Speaker 3I had the best record, I was the number one seed, but I got you, got you, I got put out. So uh, but in the playoffs, but during regular season you did well, like d said you, you know, watch the camp and see who's hurt yeah that so, but yeah, no, I take it very seriously yeah, usually I have a thing with my other guys.
Speaker 1Uh, when I play fantasy I always say camp is looking real good uh uh, so be prepared. That means I have a strategy. They know I have a strategy and they know what's going on. I am, since I've been playing, I have made it to the playoffs Shout out to myself Because I really deal with a lot of good guys.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1And I guess, for example, some of these guys are number one, number two. I almost didn't make it. I had a horrible record last year and I guess my guys came up when they needed it and I was able to go to the championship, but fortunately I took the L.
Speaker 2But you made it to the next show.
Speaker 1Because the neighbors, me and the Giants had to talk about the Giants.
Speaker 2But other than that, we tried to figure that out Well, all I can say is I'm very impressed with Dee's GM and coaching skills, Because it's not only about the players, but it's also about the coach putting the right players in the right position at the right time.
Speaker 1Right time, right place, you can have a phenomenal team. And then if your team can take a bust out of nowhere A perfect example, raymond Great team.
Speaker 3I had number one seed.
Speaker 2But what happened, bro? I had the first week off.
Speaker 3That's what happened, bro.
Speaker 2I had the first week off, and then that's what happened. You got too comfortable.
Speaker 3I got too cocky, I'm not gonna front yeah. So but yeah.
Speaker 2But it's all in preparation For the forthcoming season. That's why y'all following along Keep up the good work On Fantasy Side.
Speaker 3Houses Definitely. Maybe in the future we can do like a Tech Hustle Fantasy.
Speaker 1League yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, we definitely need more players, you can't do a team with three.
Speaker 3We have to involve family or friends or the audience who'd be interested.
Speaker 2Well put it out there, kid, you're putting it out there.
Speaker 1The commissioner has spoken, ladies and gentlemen, he's ready to take that responsibility.
Speaker 2Let's see how that goes. He's stepping in.
Speaker 1We'll see football season, see what happens. Formula 1 is going on right now, if you guys have not been watching the formula, mclaren is taking care of business, ferrari is there also, uh, and then Mercedes right under. There's a lot of um rumors about my guy, uh, first, first strap. If I'm pronouncing his name, max, I call him Max. Can I pronounce his last name? Biggest deal, biggest deal in in us history right now as far as formula one uh might be believing to mercedes, but that's just a rumor.
Speaker 1I don't know how accurate that is uh, until I hear it from them. I'll give you the norm, but that is the rumor right now other than that. I have no other comments or questions about that so I brought this up last time.
Speaker 2Did anybody see the formula one uh movie? No, not yet. Here was pretty good. Yeah, I heard it was pretty good too. Yeah, it was pretty good, and so I brought this up last time.
Speaker 1Did anybody see the Formula One movie? No, no, yeah, here it was pretty good. I heard it was pretty good too.
Speaker 2Yeah, I heard it was pretty good. I didn't watch it. You haven't watched it yet.
Speaker 1He was really good. I hear that they couldn't give it to Tom Cruise due to because Tom Cruise is like another Jackie Chang.
Speaker 2Yeah, he likes to do his own stuff.
Speaker 1Facts, afraid that he was Going to die in the movie From what the director said, and that's why they did not want To give him the role. They gave it to Brad Pitt.
Speaker 2Brad Pitt.
Speaker 1So just a heads up. You heard it here First. I'm giving you guys A little leak.
Speaker 2Insides.
Speaker 1And a couple years they are going to merge Tom Cruise With the Days of Thunder and Formula 1 movie Together. So in case you guys don't know, so two actors in one, yeah, in one movie. I can't wait. I don't know how that's going to roll. I don't know if he's going to do Formula 1. He's going to convert it into NASCAR, but we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2But he said he's going to drive his own car Right. Tom Cruise said I don't need no.

Here we go, shakur, fight against him. Other than that, he won by unanimous decision. Now I don't know what's going on with boxing. It seems that there's a lot of good fighters that does not want to fight good fighters. You guys have been picking up a lot of softball fighters. Hey, this is not a Rocky movie. I understand it, but I don't want to hear when a softball fighter knocks you guys out and then say, oh, I don't want to hear when the softball fighter Fucking knocks you guys out and then say, oh, I wasn't ready, I had stuff in my hair, or my coach had a problem.
Speaker 1I don't want to hear any of that. At the end of the day, you guys got knocked out, you guys lost, or whatever the case may be. I want you guys to fight A good fighter. Stop playing around. It is what it is. If not, I'm going to stick to wrestling and call it a day.
Speaker 2You're going all the way to wrestling Any comments, questions or concerns. Do you think it's the paydays that is doing it, or they're just running away from the competition, or what is it. I don't know, Because I mean back in the days. I think they're scared of the competition.
Speaker 1I think they're scared. I know a lot of people back in the days they lose weight just to go and fight the number one guy. Or somebody had to gain weight to find the number one guy. And I was just no, no, no. Here's my favorite. And then, when the time comes, they're going to say that he's a washed up boxer and he won. He couldn't get him on his prime.
Speaker 2So why take the fight, man? At least make it entertaining. We need some good competition out there.
Speaker 3Yeah, but you know politics and boxing.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean, it's a business, bro. That's what it really comes down to.

Speaker 3Because Bronny versus Flag.
Speaker 1I don't know who Bronny is, wow.
Speaker 3Well, yeah, no, it was good. It was like it was cool, them two going at it.

Other than that I am seeing the Clippers are 3-0, Lakers are 1-2. Shout out to the Lakers For a typical. You know what it is. And as far as basketball, big, big, humongous shout out to Carmelo Anthony making 2K26 head cover for the three. Baby, stop playing around. Congratulations to my man for getting the NBA 2K. I love you, my man. That's a phenomenal player.
Speaker 1Did you know? Fun fact Go ahead. My man, that's a phenomenal player. Did you know? Fun fact Go ahead, go ahead. Did you know Rookie of the Year for Camelo Anthony should have been the same year that LeBron James came out? Did you know they gave it to LeBron James?
Sports Update with D Hustle
Speaker 2Did they? Yeah, did you know that?
Speaker 3For Rookie of the Year they gave it to. Lebron James.
Speaker 1You're saying LeBron James didn't earn it. No, okay, rookie year, yeah, rookie year. So here's what happens. First round pick was LeBron James. Number two came out was Carmelo Anthony. Now, I don't know if you know, carmelo Anthony did win a Syracuse championship game. Did you know that?
Speaker 3Yes, I did.
Speaker 1Did LeBron win any championship in high school or anything like that? He?
Speaker 3didn't go to college. Oh shit, but he won All the championships In high school though. Alright.
Speaker 1Did you know that the year that they that the Lakers, not the Lakers, but the Fucking? What's his name? Again the Nuggets? When they hired him, they were dead last in the draft? Did you know that the Nuggets Were supposed to get the number one pick? And then the draft? They made the switch over for the Cavs.
Speaker 3I don't remember that.
Speaker 1Did you know that the Nuggets Were nobody, were not even a reveling team. Yeah.
Speaker 3I remember that.
Speaker 1Did you know that the Nuggets, once they did Carmelo Anthony, carmelo took them to a conference? Did you know that same year, the Cavs did not make it to a conference?
Speaker 2Somebody's been doing their research.
Speaker 1No, I had this all along but, nobody wants to talk about it. This is the problem.
Speaker 2But that same year is when he did not get Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 1At the end of the day, they wanted him to be the chosen one, which is why he's got that beautiful chosen one. That's why Carmelo Did not win Rookie of the year.
Speaker 2So it's usually weird.
Speaker 1Because if you make it Pass, you know.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1The conference. You should get rookie of the year.
Speaker 3Isn't that correct? No, I agree, but if you don't?
Speaker 1make it, you still make rookie of the year. I just Something to think about, something anyway, back to our original program here.
Speaker 2Ladies and gentlemen, actually I did want to shout out carmelo anthony also about his podcast. Have you seen his podcast? Yep, actually, it's really fire, though big shout outs to him. Uh, they have a really, really great uh uh guest list um and, and I think, in terms of just carmelo anthony's um style and the way that he communicates, he's really, really effective at the at the microphone and really being able to have good conversations. But yeah, yeah, man, I'm excited to see these conversations continue, so yeah.
Speaker 1So, just for heads up everybody, it's Carmelo Anthony Degue for Rookie of the Year because of LeBron. But again, all you LeBron fans will not say well, that's not true, because he was the rookie, and yada, yada, yada. As you can see, my facts speaks truth and LeB brown fans are always the same way. Isaiah's quiet yes there's no crickets here. He took out the crickets.
Speaker 3Unfortunately, I can't see you have any rebuttal after that no, I mean, it's politics, you know, that's all I can say.
Speaker 2So, politics big shout outs to Carmelo Anthony's podcast what is it called? 7 pm in Brooklyn, and he also features on what's In your Glass. So big, big shout out to him. Wine and shit it's crazy.
