Saudi Ships Attacked - Brain Scans Reveal A Pokemon Region
Craig Peterson 0:00
Hey, good morning, everybody, Craig Peterson here. Well, have you
wondered what's going on in the Middle East and some of the
technology we're using and maybe China or Russia may end up using
against us. So I talked about that this morning with Mr. Jack
Heath, as well as a Pokemon region in the brain. My goodness, the
things we've been doing to ourselves and we had no idea. So here we
go with Mr. Jack Heath.
Jack Heath 0:28
Alright joining us now on the Auto Fair listener lines for a quick
Tech Talk update. Our guy Craig Peterson host of Tech Talk. Craig
Good morning. How are you?
Craig 0:37
A Good morning, Jack. You know, we've been talking about some of
the tariffs and how it might be hurting individuals. It is worrying
our tech sector, I think for a very, very good reason. We've got
like Qualcomm, Broadcom have more than 60% of the revenue generated
in China. And then we have the other side of this companies like
Apple that has most their stuff manufactured in China. So we are
going to see some increases in the prices of some of these goods.
But the other thing that I think might be good from all of us, Jack
is there are quite a few companies now that are looking to their
manufacturing from China, to Central America as well as to Mexico.
So we're gonna see some real shifts because of these
tariffs.
Jack 1:24
Yeah, right now President Trump his economic advisor Larry Kudlow
said they're gonna hold the line and I guess China's already
responded saying June 1st, they're gonna respond with some
terrifying. Alright, we also have some tensions around the world in
the in the Middle East, we have a Saudi Arabian oil tanker saying
it was attacked, headed to the US. And of course, we have increased
presence here worried about Iranian aggression. We have a Venezuela
military, one of the leading military folks who have been really
the only wall stopping Nicolas Maduro from collapsing, saying it's
time to kind of rise up and then of course, North Korea, the reason
why I bring up these foreign policy touch points. Craig Peterson,
as you look at technology plays a role in everything I just
discussed, because you have advanced military weaponry, advanced
military aircraft, and naval craft, but also technology. And I'm
just curious, when you look at the world today, it's a smaller
place. We hear about things a lot faster, don't we?
Craig 2:18
Yeah, we absolutely do. And when when we're talking about
technology and regular warfare, not this cyber warfare that North
Korea and others are so good at. But we now have Russia and China
with supersonic missiles, missiles that can shoot our warships
right out of the water. So everything from the most simple little
bomb that they can get up next to a wonder what warships through
what might be happening now over there, where we have oil tankers
that are being hit. All you need is just a small little skip a
small boat with some explosives on board. And you can really slow
down our international trade. But yeah, technology is huge. Were
thinking about these things, we are monitoring them. But we also
have our eyes in the sky over in the region that are keeping track
of a lot of this stuff. And you can expect more and more as time
goes on here, Jack.
Jack 3:13
All right. What else on your Tech Talk side catching as we head
start off another week?
Craig 3:17
Well have real interesting studies that just came out about what's
called a Pokemon region in the brain. You know, we have Pokemon who
came in number two this weekend. And they did lean on people who
played Pokemon as kids. And the researchers learned that these
people that play Pokemon have a region of their brain that seems to
be dedicated to recognizing Pokemon characters more than any other
pictures. So it's interesting to think about, but my gosh, Jack,
our kids are playing these video games, many of us are playing
these video games. Who knows what happened to Justin when he was a
kid?
Jack 3:57
Well, that's a big question we've all been asking this week and
last week and the week before.
Justin 4:00
I could confirm this. My daughter and my little nephew, Nate can
identify and there's like a billion Pokemon. They know every single
damn one of them. And I don't know how they do it.
Craig 4:11
Absolutely amazing. But it looks like it's a physical change that
has been made to these kids' brains. It's called it an eccentricity
bias. I know I can say that. And it's really interesting stuff.
Expect more in the future here as we age and see what really
happened to us from playing all those video games when we were
younger.
Jack 4:31
Yeah, and we're still studying Justin. That's right.
Justin 4:34
I'm exceptional. That's why.
Craig 4:36
It will remain a mystery Right Justin?
Justin 4:37
Exactly.
Jack 4:40
All right, Craig. Thanks very much.
Craig 4:42
Hey, take care, guys.
Craig 4:43
Hey, I hope you guys all have a great week. I had. Of course, I'm
going to be on the radio a few times and I have a couple of new
things that are going to be coming out. So keep an eye out. If you
have been wondering what you should do about your security,
particularly with the summer coming up and you're not going to be
around to guard your computers to guard the computers at the
office, etc. We're going to be doing some training on that again,
some free training so keep an eye out.
