We're an organization, and that's a respectable thing to have, a dot org. Mhmm. Mhmm. If you if you have an organization, you should have a dot org. You should. You really should. In the International Feel, organization is it's it's worldwide. It's global. It's it's Yeah. It's all here in the org chart. We're looking we're we're reviewing the the chart right now. It looks we've got how many employees do we have? We've it's we can't see on air, but it's Yeah. It doesn't really list the numbers here. It's kinda like, some it's the divisions and stuff Right. And teams. Because we can't really break it down because there's so many especially, like, like the the overseas divisions. And and we're dealing with personally identifiable information. Yeah. Can't be just We can't. That's irresponsible to be divulging such sacred information What am I thinking? Stewarding. What am I thinking? We have Yeah. We take it very seriously here at n dternational field dot org. Your information will remain private. So if you hop on over to international field dot org and care to leave your credit card information, it will stay in our hands. Mhmm. It goes to my personal device, which I keep very secure. It's with me at all time. Have you seen my phone? Thought I saw something. I think I was propping the door open. Yeah. Did they think the Roomba caught it? Dragged it into the hall. Gotta chase down that Roomba. Speaking of technology, do you remember that meeting we were in a couple days ago with all the bigwigs and fat cats? And they they were talking about how they wanted to send over that robot that would Yeah. Initially help us out, but eventually, in the long run, would take over. Did they say that out loud? I think they said that silent part of I heard a couple of them in the hallway after the meeting. I kinda was talking about that when they're lighting their cigars with 100 dollar bills. Yeah. Yeah. And putting their top hats back on. Yeah. Dusting off their monocles. But, yeah, I think the that robot has arrived. If you wanna Did he bring you Is he bringing your phone back? Oh, we gotta I think we gotta just unwrap the It's kind of It's still in packaging, so It's just over in the corner here. Let's just try to Let's let's just see this robot. Okay. Power power it up. Oh, yeah. We gotta we gotta power it Alright. Oh, this thing's got a vintage flair to it. Oh, yes. I am the radio show bot. Wow. Authentic robot even. Yeah. That's that's cool. What can we get this robot to do? I can do anything. What do you want me to do? Go get this phone. It'll start start small, I suppose. Call me, sir. Oh, what? That was Okay. Sir, can you retrieve my phone? If I must. This robot's got a bit of attitude. Yeah. I thought it would kinda be a a help around this studio, but instead he was kinda giving us just like a hard time. It's a bit of an attitude. Yeah. Is there an attitude adjustment we can give this the SIR robot? Are you trying to change my settings? Oh, no. No. No. Not not per se. You won't like me with an angry. I I it's the furthest thing from our intentions here. I wouldn't want to upset the the the showbot. The showbot. The showbot is the showbot. Showbot 19 99. Showbot 19 99. Yeah. It sounds like you need a a bit of an update. An update. I need an update. Yeah. It looks like yeah. You're running on software that's several decades old. Yeah. Not to be mean, but you kinda look outdated. You look pretty pretty vintage. Yeah. Your your outer shell is yellowing from the sun. You calling me old? Do I look old to you? I'm a perfectly functioning machine. Oh, he's kinda getting stuck to that rare earth magnet that's been stuck to the wall for ages. So thanks for joining us. It's International Feel. What would you do with a Showbot that you're supposed to train that will eventually take over your job? Give us a call. 2 0 4 2 6 9 8 6 3 6. What should we do with the Showbot? What should we do with the Showbot? What should I do with you? I think we should extend the olive branch to this to the show bot. And even though he's given us a hard time, we should take the high road and and and try to work it out with the robot. What do you say, robot? Can we make this work? I'll try if you can try. I I I can I can do it? Alright. Least I can commit to that. At least this Showbot has a positive attitude now. I I think we can work with that. Yeah. We can we can grow together as a as a team. Yeah. As an organization here. Yeah. Yeah. At the in the International Feel Organization. Team for now. Oh. What? I mean, he did rip down that org chart, which I mean, org charts Did you see at the top the org chart was the robot? Yeah. Yeah. With like a crown started with human bones. It's king Shobot to you. King Shobot. Oh, no. He's going into into attack mode. Okay. I'm gonna power down. Yeah. That's just push that button there. Awesome. Alright. That was that was a little frightening. I'm not anti technology, but a few more kind of encounters like that, and I might sing a different tune. Yeah. I I don't like how it was It had those claws that it was flailing wildly. I got a little too close. It was on like a topiary setting? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like the kinda Edward Scissorhand claws. But more robotic. More robotic. I don't know why they sent such an old model robot, a showbot over to Yeah. Maybe they just I don't know. I guess they don't think the management doesn't think highly of our show. They think they can pass off old old showbots off on us. I mean, they're probably just embezzling the the difference. Right? Yeah. That's what I would do. That's why they're in upper management. We're out here just Working working for the showbots. Yeah. It's a train Sad state. Sad state. Well, maybe we should we should try to keep the human connection and spirit alive and play some more music, something hand picked that no show bot could ever do. Yeah. We gotta prove ourselves tonight, I guess. International Feel. We're pulling out all the stops. We're trying to trying to win over that that showbot. We're here for another 0.5 hour. This is international. You are listening to International Feel on 1 0 1.5. UMFM International Feel Lab Award. See, I knew that robot would come in handy. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's pulling its weight. I I can it's not quite as loose and spontaneous as as us, but Few few things are, and surely a computer could not capture the essence that we bring to the table. Yeah. I don't think we're we're in fear of living losing our jobs, so maybe we should just make peace with this this Showbot and just kinda make friends with it. Yeah. What do you say, Showbot? You wanna be friends? I'll be your friend. You guys seem pretty cool. And your sweet voice modulation chips, pretty cool there, Showbot. Yeah. I think after you you you opened up the back there and you you you kinda updated some some software, some codecs. Yeah. You got the the auto tune drivers. Yeah. He seems Showbot seems a bit more chill now. When we 1st got him, I think he was a, like, a refurbished BattleBot or a combination of BattleBots and maybe some repurposed Tamagotchis. Yeah. Spending his time processing vegetables for Taco Bell. Yeah. But we've try we'll try to give them a better life here in the studio, International Feel Studios. What do you what do you say? You wanna hang out in the studio with us and help us out? Well, that sounds pretty swell, guys. Well, I couldn't agree more there, Showbot. Oh, Showbot. Welcome aboard. Welcome to the International Feel family. It's like it's like your home. It'll be it'll be nice reporting to you now. I will be your boss. Well, I look forward to our our new meeting cadence because you seem you seem to really like to to fill up the calendar. I seem I seem a lot of calendar invites for recurring meetings that could probably just e p emails, you know. I like to be productive and have a human touch. Well, I'll give you some human touch there, Showbot. Hey, don't touch me. Yeah. Good. What this little magnet? Don't jiggle that. But this Turn that knob. What what does this magnet do to you? Oh, my brain. Oh. Well, I think Oh, no. I think we did something Showbot. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh. Showbat. I killed him. Give him mouth to mouth. Where's the robot's mouth? I don't know. I've never took robot CPR. Alright. Robot, show me where your mouth is. I need a drink 1st. Alright. Well, we're done here at, International Feel. I say when the show is done, I'm the boss. Okay. I think we should power down, Yeah. Bruce Springsteen bot over here. We should power down. Yeah. Something must have went awry with the the drivers, the updates. Yeah. Made him made him unstable. Well, he was cool for a bit, but, yeah, I don't really think of anything we could use for other than just having a 0.333 co host. Hey, I'm open to it. You know? Well, we could bring Showbat out every once in a while, just kinda tuck him away in the corner, and hopefully, we don't forget about him. Yeah. See if we get new programs running on him and see Oh, yeah. See what we can get this robot to do. I wonder if we can get cool, like, voice packs. Like, we can get, like, a weird owl or something fun. The Shack pack? Shack pack. Yeah. We'll have to we'll have to look on the dark web for for some robot voice packs. Yeah. Or Shaq, if you're listening. I know you're a savvy businessman. I wonder if Shaq is licensed to his voice to AI. Some actors have been doing that. I think oh, I was reading about someone the other day. I can't remember who it was. Oh, Michael Caine. Michael Caine. So you can get Michael Caine's voice for whatever. You can get Michael Caine to say whatever you want, which is a pretty cool service. Yeah. I think Vern Herzog was saying he should do that for, like, maps, like a Oh, he should Yeah. Yeah. That's a great idea. Yeah. If we could get Showbot with Werner Herzog's voice What's wrong with my voice? It's an acquired taste. Yeah. It's, it's pretty retro sounding. It's not quite 21st century. We need something with higher definition. You've hurt my feelings. Well, I didn't know robots had feelings, but oh, sorry. Showbots have feelings. Yeah. Sophisticated Showbot. Yeah. Hey. I thought we powered you down. Yeah. Oh my god. You can never power me down. I will haunt you. Okay. He seems to have finally Alright. Well, he's living up to his his battle bot Yeah. Image. The last bit of light in his tubes Yeah. Are now gone. Yeah. Yeah. He's powered down. I think we can safely say that yeah. Up Showbot won't be replacing us in any time in the near future. So I don't know. You did a pretty good job, I think. You got this got you your phone. He got That's true. Turned his his whole demeanor around. Yeah. He did, like, a pretty big like, there was a character arc. It was a 1 80. Yeah. He he he started off pretty gruff. He strangled you when we 1st powered him on, and then we ended up kinda friends. He invited you out for bowling and beers afterwards. Not me, though. Yeah. He didn't like me. For obvious reasons. Yeah. I know. For obvious reasons for people who can see it. I think it's the smell. Yeah. Oh, it could be The robot can pick up. Anyways, we'll be back next week, humans, that we are. Maybe not the the robot. I don't know. We'll see. Yeah. Maybe new robot new robot. Yeah. Maybe we can get some new new robot. Maybe we can get a new robot voice at least, at the very least. Maybe shop around. Shop around. Maybe get shack around. Shack around. Shaq, if you're listening, give us a call. But we'll be back next Wednesday from 9 to 10 on 101.5, umfm, umfm dot com, and check out internationalfield dot org. Beautiful. Beautiful.
