0:00I was going through my Facebook memories and there's a post a couple of years ago. When I read it, I laughed out loud and I read my comment on the post and it was like, as soon as I read this, it made me laugh out loud. This is the post. I hate going bowling with people who are good at bowling, like relax bro. I'm funny. I'm kind of one of the three things you need to know. Research just found, women who abide by one strict relationship role, usually have a better life experience overall. So apparently women who refuse to get back together with an ex often end up happier in the long run. Basically those on-again, off-again relationships sort of drain your emotional energy and make it really hard to handle new challenges. So they say women who avoid yo-yo dating will just tend to report better happiness in every aspect of their life. So say no to going back to that ex. Zooks is a robot taxi. It's a company owned by Amazon and they have now expanded their testing right here in our own backyard.

1:00Phoenix is now the 10th test market. The self-driving vehicles are going to start operating downtown while the company tests how the tech handles our extreme heat and dust. They're also opening up a new command center in Scottsdale so you can keep an eye out for their retrofitted Toyota Highlander SUVs. They are going to have safety drivers in there to map out and get data collection and all that stuff, but they will follow that by testing their purpose built, steering wheel free vehicles. You know, I wonder when I was in Las Vegas to see the backseat boys not to long ago. There was these cars that were, I feel like they were called Zooks, but they were like, it was wild. They're just like these empty boxes with no steering wheel and you just sit in it and just take sure you need to go. Weird. I know. Is that what they are? Yeah, so first they have these Toyota Highlanders and those are the ones that are going to have the drivers and that's their data collection period. Once they feel they have enough and that their technology can survive in our heat when they'll transition. So that's what they have in Vegas. And I was in a taxi and the taxi cab driver was telling me,

2:02he was showing me, I go, oh my God, what is that? It was because they're weird looking and he goes, those things are made of paper thin, like tin can, like if something happens. Don't you get in the rack, you're done. You need a check. Yeah. What? Okay, remember when everyone was like bugs, they're the future of food. We're all going to be eating bugs soon. And then they spent like billions of dollars researching insect farming companies, but it's not really working out. And I think we probably saw where this was going. A lot of those startups are now struggling because people in the United States and Europe were not just eating bugs. It's just like there's no way to sell it at this point. Using insect protein for animal feed is way more expensive than soy. So even using them in that type of situation isn't really working out for them. It's like a for effort, but yes, we're going to skip the bugs for a while. Yeah, I'm good. I don't want to be eating bugs. It's about time we got something right. No, thanks. And that's three things you need to know. No one knows what the future holds, but you deserve a weather app that can help.

I want to take a second to talk about something that's personal to me. I've had the privilege of working closely with Robert Kraft for a long time. And one thing I've always respected is how seriously he takes up standing up to hate. As a Jewish athlete, my identity is something I am proud of. But I also know what it feels like to be singled out for it. That's why this new commercial for the Blue Square Alliance against hate that aired during the big game really hit home. It's about showing up for someone when they're targeted,

4:04even if you don't have the perfect words. And sometimes standing next to someone is enough. And you can show support by sharing the Blue Square.
