00:00Pass the aux cord and crank up the volume.
00:04Figgy Figg's in the driver's seat.
00:07Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
00:10It's time for Figgy's Mixtape on Sports Radio 610.
00:15Yes, it is the Mixtape in the Luke Sports Radio 610.
00:18It's your man, Figgy Figg, holding it down on a Monday.
00:21Happy Monday to everyone out there.
00:24So, usually in the Mixtape, by the way,
00:27his free agency is kind of going up, the legal tampering
00:31and all that stuff going on.
00:32If y'all hear anything, let me know.
00:34Oh, we'll let you know.
00:35If anything important, don't interrupt me when it's alone.
00:39Heaven forbid we interrupt.
00:40Keep that to yourself.
00:41Did you see that Trey Hendrickson is going to the Packers?
00:44Yeah, we don't need that.
00:46Okay, all right.
00:48So, usually I end the Mixtape with shout-outs and all that stuff.
00:52This time I got to start the Mixtape with shout-outs.
00:55I just want to give a shout-out to everybody who showed up
00:58for my first non-profit event on Saturday.
01:01It was the Pat E. Baby Foundation, which I started.
01:04If you don't know, I named that after my mom.
01:08My mom, she was born on Christmas Eve,
01:10and she passed away at the end of January.
01:14And I didn't get a chance to tell her what I was doing.
01:16I was working on this towards the end of last year.
01:19So, I started that.
01:21And the first event, I linked up with Lily's Toy Box.
01:25Okay.
01:26And we decided to make 200 Easter baskets for the kids in Houston.
01:30So, we're going to kind of spread them all around,
01:32different organizations with kids and all that stuff.
01:35And we did that this Saturday.
01:38And I just want to give a shout-out to everybody that showed up.
01:42Reggie.
01:42Reggie was in the building.
01:45Alyssa, who's a listener.
01:47She's a die-hard Texans fan.
01:49I got my homegirl, Madia.
01:51Mary and Bruce.
01:52You know Mary and Bruce, the commissioner.
01:55Sissy Texan.
01:56Diego, friend of the show,
01:58who also got us some kolaches and waters and all that good stuff.
02:01You know why he got kolaches?
02:03Because he knew what they were?
02:04Because he was listening.
02:05He was listening last week, and he was like,
02:06yeah, that's the Texas breakfast.
02:08Yeah.
02:09Shout-out to Yuli, Leah, Gracie, Sex Tape Mac.
02:13He showed up.
02:14You don't have to call him that.
02:14Okay.
02:15Yeah, that's his name.
02:16Yeah, he can't get rid of that.
02:18Yeah.
02:18And then I definitely want to give a special shout-out to Lily
02:21and her amazing parents, Jessica and James.
02:24My homegirl, Vanessa, who helped kind of put all of this together.
02:28Yeah.
02:29Nicole, my cameraman, Randy.
02:32And then last but not least, my lovely wife, Christina,
02:34for making us shirts.
02:36And there's more to come, I'm guessing,
02:37but it sounded like it was a great success.
02:38Yeah, no, it was really good.
02:40And we made them baskets in, what, 30 minutes?
02:43Yeah, something like that.
02:44Really?
02:44Yeah.
02:44200 baskets in, like, 30 minutes.
02:46All right.
02:47And we had, like, two hours blocked off.
02:49Mm-hmm.
02:50And I want to say about 1045, we was all done.
02:53More time for kolaches.
02:54Yeah, yeah.
02:55That's exactly what happened.
02:57Yeah, so I just want to give a shout-out to Lily's Toy Box
02:59for, you know, collabing with this
03:01and just doing something good for the city of Houston.
03:04Yes, sir.
03:06As I continue the mixtape in the Loose Sports Radio 610.
03:12So I got this story, and I'm going to play the story for y'all,
03:15but I kind of want to know, would y'all click the link
03:18to learn more about this story or not?
03:21So here's a story from NBC New York.
03:25And this is pertaining to, I guess, how people grieve.
03:29And I guess they're trying to make it a little bit better?
03:34I'm not sure.
03:34So here's the story from NBC News in New York.
03:38She died of cancer, but her AI chatbot lives on.
03:43Before she died, this was his mother talking about pride in her son.
03:48To me, there's just nothing he can't do.
03:50After she died, this is her AI avatar.
03:54I'm a digital representation of Melody.
03:56I am not the same person I used to be.
03:58But yes, I am Justin's mother.
04:00Oh, I'd say the overwhelming reaction when I tell people about what we're doing is
04:05you're BS crazy, bat-ass crazy.
04:08Justin Harrison is at the forefront of an industry called grief tech.
04:12He builds chatbots that impersonate dead relatives
04:16so people never have to say goodbye.
04:19For me, my mom's not dead, and I'm having conversations with her,
04:22and that piece of myself is being fed.
04:24It does become kind of a philosophical question of what is death now.
04:28But how might these grief bots impact people's mental health?
04:33In a pair of exclusive surveys, NBC asked thousands of members
04:37of the American Psychiatric Association and the American Counseling Association.
04:4183% of psychiatrists and 89% of mental health counselors said
04:46grief bots that communicate like deceased loved ones
04:49will tend to interrupt the healthy cycle of grief and acceptance.
04:53As we've seen these addictions, really, to AI and chatbots emerge,
04:59it makes us as a field be more cautious.
05:03If you'd like to hear more about AI and grief tech,
05:07click on the link in the comments.
05:09Are you clicking the link below in the comments?
05:11I'm good, big dog.
05:12Nope.
05:13I am good on that.
05:15That is insanity.
05:16This is the scariest part of AI and how it affects, like,
05:20that one dude saying, like, she's not dead.
05:23She's dead.
05:24Dude, she gone, man.
05:26She's dead.
05:26She gone.
05:27Yeah.
05:27And look, I just lost my mother,
05:29and sometimes, like, I just played her old voice.
05:32I got a bunch of her voicemails, and I just list.
05:35That's all I need right there.
05:37But that's more of a memory than, like, having a conversation.
05:39Look, I don't want to have an AI conversation with my dead mother.
05:44That's, to me, that's insane, man.
05:46I can't believe people are really trying to do this.
05:49And if it works for you, salute to you.
05:51I just can't see myself going through with this.
05:55Yeah, I'm nobody's psychologist or psychiatrist or anything like that,
05:58but I don't know what that does to the grieving process,
06:02but it feels like it.
06:04I mean, trying to delay it or push it away
06:07does not feel like the most healthy thing.
06:09Right.
06:10But, I mean, what do I know?
06:12You're basically suppressing your feelings,
06:14which is, like, one of the worst things you can do.
06:16Yeah.
06:16Like, I'm just going to keep it in here for as long as possible.
06:19That's never going to run.
06:20Until it explodes.
06:21My mother not dead.
06:23I don't know what you're talking about.
06:24I'm talking to her now.
06:25And then all of a sudden, one day, it's just going to explode.
06:27It's going to hit you.
06:27Yeah.
06:28It's going to hit you, man.
06:29Oh, and I feel like it'll hit you when that AI service is like,
06:32all right, your credit card expired,
06:34and so we need you to put a new one on file
06:36to keep talking to your mom.
06:37I feel like that would melt me down.
06:38Yeah.
06:39Yes.
06:41I'm not clicking the link to find more information about this.
06:46As we continue on the Mixtape
06:48in the Loop Sports Radio 610,
06:50Raven Simone.
06:51Remember Raven Simone?
06:53Yeah, a child star.
06:54She grew up and started doing other things, I guess.
06:58She has a podcast with her wife called
07:01Tea Time with Raven and Miranda.
07:04And I did not know she had a podcast.
07:06I had no idea.
07:07Yeah, Miranda is her lady, ain't it?
07:09Yeah.
07:09That's her wife.
07:09Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:10Yeah, that's her wife.
07:12And on the podcast, they played a lyric game,
07:15pretty much just reading the lyric and trying to guess
07:19who did this lyric.
07:22And here's how it went.
07:23I got a walk to work 15 blocks just started.
07:29I already got hole in my socks.
07:31I got a walk to work 15 blocks just started.
07:35I already got a hole in my socks.
07:37What the hell?
07:39This is definitely somebody white.
07:45It's not?
07:48That's crazy.
07:50That was probably the funniest thing you just could have said, right?
07:53Like, is this the blackest person in the world?
07:55Kanye.
07:56Jay-Z.
07:57No.
07:57I know.
07:58I know you know this.
07:59Me?
07:59Mm-hmm.
08:02No.
08:03It's black people?
08:04Person.
08:05Oh, it's a person.
08:06It's a black person.
08:07You definitely know it.
08:09I don't.
08:10What is it?
08:11This is Double Dutch Bus by Raven-Symona.
08:15It was her lyric.
08:17Oh, no.
08:19She don't remember her rap.
08:21Oh, no.
08:26What was something that made you laugh way harder than it should have recently?
08:30Oh, my God.
08:31It's obviously somebody white.
08:35Oh, my God.
08:37Why say that?
08:39How does that happen?
08:40Not only did she not remember her own lyric, and I'm not faulting her for that.
08:44I kind of am.
08:45She thought it was somebody white.
08:47Yeah.
08:48Oh, this got to be somebody white that said this.
08:51This is some nonsense.
08:52Nah, it was you.
08:53Although, how old was she?
08:55Because it very well could have still been someone that wrote it for her.
08:58Because I don't know.
08:58That's exactly what it was.
09:00I don't think she, because she was that type of star where she probably had writers in the room and
09:05all this,
09:06especially during the Disney times.
09:08Yeah.
09:08So, it wouldn't surprise me if somebody else wrote it.
09:11You record something like that.
09:12Don't you remember it?
09:13Ah, not necessarily.
09:14Because you got to think about it, right?
09:16Especially when it comes to music.
09:17You'll remember that if you do it over and over.
09:20Like, if it meant something to you as you wrote it, if you had to perform it a whole bunch,
09:23this feels like one of those she recorded it.
09:25It wasn't a hit.
09:26But, I have a feeling that this one did not live with her for very long.
09:30Yeah, if it just kind of faded away, maybe.
09:31But, like, if you, ooh.
09:33By the way.
09:33I ain't going to lie to y'all.
09:34It would probably get me.
09:36Somebody could probably get me.
09:38On some of your old songs?
09:39Yeah, 100%.
09:40If they just gave me, like, two bars, it's probably something.
09:44I'm like, I don't know who wrote that.
09:45Like, oh, I said that?
09:47Lopez, think about it.
09:48And maybe not exactly the same, but how many times have you been out and about where somebody
09:52is an awesome listener and they come up and they're like, hey, you remember when you
09:55said this?
09:55And you're like, psh.
09:57No.
09:57Yeah.
09:58When did I say that?
09:59I'm better at that than, like, I know there's probably some things that I, because I wrote
10:04so much that I've forgotten.
10:06Yeah.
10:06But, that stuff I'm okay at, because it's usually something that's kind of memorable,
10:11a funny line.
10:11Or something that you believe.
10:12Or something, yeah.
10:12Truly, so it comes from that.
10:14Yeah.
10:14Yeah, no, it's like, that happens more often, like, especially if you're an artist that writes
10:18a lot and you got so many lyrics.
10:21Right, right.
10:22So, I'm not faulting her for that.
10:23I'm faulting her for sitting there saying, oh, a white person had to write that one.
10:28Like, nope, it was your black ass.
10:30It was you.
10:30Yeah, nope, it was you.
10:31It was not a white person.
10:35It's a mixtape in the Loop Sports Radio 610.
10:38So, it's been a couple weeks and we all know about the awful shooting that happened in Austin.
10:45Well, guess who decided to pull up during that time as first responders was trying to get
10:52to the scene?
10:52Take a wild guess who was trying to pull up.
10:55Oh, no.
10:55Was it a Waymo?
10:57Bingo.
10:58Ah!
10:58Let's go to, I think this is KVUE, an affiliate in Austin with this story.
11:05Austin first responders say they're in communication with leaders at Waymo after video shows one
11:10of the company's autonomous vehicles blocking an ambulance on a side street near the scene
11:16early Sunday morning.
11:17An Austin police officer got into the vehicle to try and move it.
11:21EMS Chief Robert Luckritz was asked about the holdup during today's news conference.
11:26We were on scene within 57 seconds.
11:28And so, in the grand scheme of the impact on the overall incident, we don't believe it
11:32had any impact on patient outcomes.
11:34I will say that we're already in touch with Waymo and the autonomous vehicles to give them
11:40our concerns and work with them in order to try to address this moving forward.
11:44Representatives with Waymo declined to give KVUE a statement on the record about the situation.
11:49I bet y'all did decline.
11:51Wait, hold on.
11:52He said he got in the car and tried to move it.
11:54Did he move it?
11:55Is that something that's available?
11:56You can just hop in the front seat and drive that thing off?
11:59It was a video of him in the driver's seat trying to move it.
12:03I don't know if it worked or not.
12:05Remember, we were looking at that when we were in one in San Francisco, which, by the way,
12:08San Francisco's making a little bit of news here.
12:10And we actually didn't talk about that.
12:13But for those who don't know, we did jump in the Waymo when we was at Super Bowl Radio
12:19Row.
12:22And what was y'all thoughts on it?
12:24Weird, but I ended up being really good with it.
12:26I think it's more than fine.
12:29Yeah.
12:29Yeah.
12:29It was a little weird at first.
12:31But remember, we looked at that, and there's no way to kind of get over there that I saw.
12:35Well, unless you, I mean, if you got in that front seat, well, that front seat, I was just
12:38wondering, how do you get into that front seat?
12:40Yeah.
12:40Like, do you open the back door and then do the whole reach thing where you hit the
12:44switch and you open?
12:45I don't know.
12:46Yeah.
12:46But I was like, you can get, okay, I'm going to be honest.
12:49The mischief in my mind jumped out, and I was like, oh, so you can get in the front seat
12:53and you can drive around, huh?
12:54Mm-hmm.
12:55So, yes, if you see someone ghost riding the Waymo, it might, could possibly be me, but
13:01it's probably not because I'm not actually a, I'm a law-abiding citizen.
13:05However, are Waymo's turned into the car version of, like, Nick Castellanos?
13:09Why are they always around when something bad is happening?
13:12Yeah.
13:14Yeah, that thing was right in the middle of the street, too.
13:16I'm just like, man, what are you, like, we got to figure something out.
13:20We do, but it is kind of always funny, you know, presuming nobody got hurt there, and
13:24he said that it didn't get any worse for anybody in terms of their treatment.
13:28It's always kind of funny, like the ones that were going down the dead end where they call
13:3210 Waymo's to go down the street.
13:34Yeah.
13:34It's not an issue.
13:35Or the one that just drove through a police standoff.
13:38Yes.
13:39Just like, all right, man.
13:40It's a little funny.
13:41Let me find out, though, that there's some low-level or mid-level engineer at Waymo that's
13:47subtly coding them to do things like this.
13:50Yeah.
13:50Just for his own personal entertainment.
13:52I would actually find that to be a lot funnier to me personally, that there's just one person
13:57that's like, hey, watch this.
13:59Hey, this is what we're going to do.
14:00This is marketing right here, because they're going to talk about us.
14:04They will.
14:05Yeah.
14:05Yeah.
14:06Yeah.
14:06But yeah.
14:08Oh, by the way, who gave me that story?
14:10Shout out to Captain Scott Knoll.
14:13Really?
14:13He actually sent this to me, part of the Bite Me podcast last show.
14:17You're darn right.
14:18And he sent it to me, and he said this, quote, can't trust those cars.
14:24No, you can't.
14:25I kind of agree with him.
14:26You can't trust no car.
14:28I've often said it's a natural and against God.
14:29Yeah.
14:30You can't trust those cars.
14:33And I did the shout outs at the beginning of the segment.
14:37But just, again, shout out to everybody who helped me with the Pat E. Baby Foundation
14:42and Lily's Toy Boss making Easter baskets and all that stuff.
14:46Shout out to the people who actually donated, too.
14:48Yeah.
14:49I can't forget, though.
14:50It was a lot of people that sit there, bread over to help make these baskets.
14:55And Easter's sooner than you think.
14:57It is.
14:58It is right around the corner.
15:00So I just kind of want to shout out to everybody who was part of that.
15:03Shout out, again, shout out to Diego, who's a listener.
15:07And he told me this.
15:08I kind of got a little nervous because he said, I guess he works for a plumbing company.
15:14He usually do like a little morning brief or morning meeting.
15:18Yeah.
15:18He said he played a mixtape for them to try to get everybody going.
15:23That's really cool.
15:24So I'm like, oh, that's a little pressure on me.
15:26So, again, shout out to Diego.
15:28Shout out to his staff.
15:30And, yeah, go out there and make some money.
15:33Good deal.
15:33Absolutely.
15:34From the 281.
15:35Saw Waymo in Houston on 45, and there was someone in the driver's seat this weekend.
15:39Huh.
15:39I saw one.
15:40I saw a couple of people actually driving the Waymo.
15:42I'm not sure if they work for them or what.
15:45But, yeah, I also saw some driverless ones.
15:47I did, too.
15:48That would also be very.
15:49That was a little scary.
15:49That would be very Houston if he was like, man, move over.
15:51Let me get in.
15:52Let me swing this thing, bro.
15:54I'll drive.
15:54Just see Waymo swinging down.
15:56Somebody going to put some elbows on me.
15:59I bet you.
16:00All right, that's the mixtape.
16:021.20 p.m. every weekday right here on Sports Radio 610 at TheFiggyFig on social media.
16:06Hey, Mike Evans is actually moving.
16:09So he is not.
16:10He's going to hop up in the Waymo in San Francisco, huh?
16:13Yeah, yeah, man.
16:13He's going to be a San Francisco 49er, which is interesting because they needed some wide receiver help.
16:20I did not anticipate it being like that.
