Show Notes for Thursday, September 21, 2023


THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!

Dear John,

My neighbor got a new dog a few weeks ago. When they let the dog out, it often runs over to our backyard to go to the bathroom. I noticed they pick up the mess in their yard, but they leave it when the dog comes over to our side of the property line. I have always had a pretty good relationship with the neighbor, so I don't want to be too rude, but I kind of think they're being rude by letting this happen over and over. My husband said we should put up a fence. I really don't want to spend a bunch of money on that right now, but maybe that's our best answer. What are your thoughts? What should I even say to them if I bring it up?

Signed

New Dog Neighbor

SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com

According to a new study, some football players (especially wide receivers) wear lower jersey numbers . . . in order to appear thinner and quicker. The study helps confirm this long-standing belief about how athletes choose their uniform numbers. In 2019, ESPN looked into why many NFL wide receivers opted for jersey numbers between 10 and 19. Their investigation found that many players felt that lower numbers made them appear to run faster than higher numbers typically given to players in their position — starting in the 80s. In the new study, by UCLA researchers, participants consistently felt that players wearing jerseys numbered 10-19 appeared slimmer than those wearing 80-89, even when the body sizes were identical. The senior author explained: “In our daily lives, numbers written on objects — on a bag of sugar in the supermarket or weights in the gym — usually represent the magnitude of the objects. The higher the number, the bigger or more massive the object generally is.”

Yogurt maker Chobani is looking for someone to write dairy puns for its CEO’s tweets and LinkedIn posts – and is willing to pay an annual salary of $187,000-$278,000 to some lucky creative writer. Chobani posted on its website and on LinkedIn that it is looking for an executive writer to work directly with the CEO. For those who are still listening – and haven’t already started crafting their very best cover letter (filled with puns about “milking it for all it’s worth…), the job has a few stringent requirements: Applicants must have at least 15 years of experience working in food, the packaged goods industry or politics, and anyone who applies must have strong writing skills – and an extensive portfolio of published work. Duties include — among other things — writing and editing speeches for CEO Hamdi Ulukaya when he attends high-profile events, and crafting a messaging strategy for Chobani. [***UPDATE: The position, like a container of yogurt, has now been filled***]

Ethan Hawke wasn’t missing his “Wildcat” premiere at the Toronto International Film Fest for anything. He walked the TIFF red carpet on Monday with his daughter, “Stranger Things” star Maya Hawke. When asked if it was true that he had to jump on a Greyhound bus to make it to the premiere, Maya said: “He did! Everyone’s talking about it!” Ethan gave a few more details, explaining that after 3 flights were canceled, he said to himself: “‘I’m not gonna miss this because of some airport.’ So, I went to port authority and hopped the bus.” And was he bothered by fans? Hawke said he “just disappeared in the back” of the bus and read a book.

Drew was completely unaware of the incident and we are in the process of reaching out to the affected audience members to offer them new tickets.” As The Drew Barrymore Show resumed filming on Monday, production was met with 3 pickets around CBS Broadcast Center.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com

It sounds weird – but with the way things are going, should we really be surprised? Researchers from Kühne Logistics University in Germany say that some day, an AI bot could be your boss. They say that digital technologies have proven an essential part of effective leadership, and the idea isn’t about replacing human leadership entirely (at least for now…), but using the advantages of AI to assist in leadership roles, from strategic decision-making to analyzing employee behavior. But there’s an even more advanced phase further down the road: One where AI doesn’t just aid human bosses – it substitutes for human leadership. The researchers feel it’s unlikely that the AI leader of the future will be a simple chatbot. They envision an advanced system equipped with natural speech, akin to Siri or Alexa. It would possibly appear as a human-like avatar through VR technology.
