Funny how that works. And hey, if you're not subscribed to it, wherever you get your podcast, what are you doing?

You're missing out. You need this intel to live in today's world. Each January, CES in Las Vegas rolls out the latest products from both big and small tech. With each comes the hopes and dreams of the product's creators. Unfortunately, most fail. I'm Kim Commando for netsuite. AI is here and companies using it are getting ahead. Download the free business guide demystifying AI right now@netsuite.com Kim this year's most probable CES failures include the Razor projects. Ava, a creepy holographic AI gaming assistant trapped in a glass bottle. No word on costs. In the same genre is Lipo Amy, an OLED monitor with yet another creepy built in assistant who constantly demands your empathy. Then there's Lollipop Star, a one time use lollipop that plays music via your jawbone conduction. And finally, we have the AI Refrigerator doorbell. If there was ever an award for dumb reliance on AI for mundane tasks, the that's the winner. Take a good look because you're never gonna see these products again. Get my newsletter@getkim.com and now, as promised. Drumroll please. Droop okay, that was pretty lame. A clip from my weekend show, the Kim Commando Show. It's pretty much the best radio show in the world.

But I may be just a little biased.

New year, same extra value meals at McDonald's. So now get two snack wraps plus fries and a medium soft drink for just $8 for a limited time only. Prices and participation may vary. Prices may be higher in Hawaii, Alaska, and California.

3:35

And for delivery, I gave Jeff Bezos.

3:49

And Lauren Sanchez A $100 gift card for their wedding.

3:53

I read it and I chuckled.

3:56

Okay.

3:57

I actually had people write me like, oh, Kim Commando. I thought you were more American than that.

3:59

Why would you people say why they.

4:03

Are worth more money than God. Why would you send them $100? I'm like, it was a joke.

4:04

How does that make you un American?

4:09

I have no idea. I'm like, what is going on?

4:11

I told you because I texted you and I said, you need to go buy a gift card and then write their names on it and put it, post it to Instagram because even more people will fall for it.

4:14

Oh, yeah, exactly. Hi, Jeff. Hi, Lauren.

4:23

Do you think he's a prime member?

4:25

I'm sure he's the super duper duper.

4:28

He's the primest of all members.

4:31

He is. Humanoid robots, they've been around for more than 100 years.

4:33

I want you to think back to.

4:37

The Tin man and the wizard of Oz. That book was published in 1900. Nvidia CEO says that real robots are less than five years away and they're coming before 2020. They're going to walk 20, 30.

4:38

Rather, they're going to walk and they're.

4:51

Going to run around just like humans. Now, they're not going to be like.

4:52

The Lost in Space guy that spent most of his time shouting, danger, Will Robinson, danger. But the first generation of robots will perform boring, repetitive and hazardous jobs.

4:55

So how much are they going to cost?

5:06

You ready for this?

5:08

About $100,000 each. And by the way, data from Star Trek's Next Generation. He's not in sight yet, but we expect him within maybe 10 years. You know, I get questions about this a lot. You know, how do I block the emf? And I want to wear a special device to block all the emf. Some celebrities think that you really need one of these. I'm talking about NFL legend Tiki Barber, UFC fighter Michael Chandler, and Russell Brand. They swear by this little tiny trinket called the Ares Tech Life Tune. That should be your first glue. That is just bad stuff. It's a magical amulet they claim that wards off all 5G wifi and radiation. You just wear it like a necklace and it will protect you, the Brand says, from harmful signals. And especially in airports. You got to be really, really careful in airports. That they say. Okay, what does science say about this? The crew at Linus Tech tips put the $240 gadget to the test. EMF Chambers, CT scanners, RF meters. The result? Yes, the magical amulet does absolutely nothing. Just a little check. WI fi, radiation is not harmful. Zero proof that the amulet works. But if you want one anyway, it's going to cost you $125 and then some. So the only thing that's gonna take away is your money. Your money, your money. It's. Yes. Just doesn't work. Just don't buy that stuff.
