Are You Okay with This? w/ WIBC 's Johnette Cruz!

**SPEAKER_2** (0:16)
On the Hammer of Nidalee.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:18)
Oh, yeah!

**Jason Hammer** (0:19)
Yeah, my name is Nigel, Jason Hammer right over there with a very special in-studio guest for Are You Okay With This?

**Nigel** (0:26)
We said earlier if we can get to 300 thumbs up. 300 likes, we will bring in the lovely and talented Johnette Cruz from the WIBC newsroom.

**Jason Hammer** (0:38)
They're not bowing, they're saying Cruz.

**Johnette Cruz** (0:41)
I love it. I'm doing good. Running around like crazy, but I'm good.

**Nigel** (0:44)
Like you're putting in a marathon day today, right? You did the midday stuff, and now you're working like late tonight too.

**Johnette Cruz** (0:50)
Yes.

**Nigel** (0:51)
So this whole day at WIBC has been like Smurfs. So John worked earlier and then Johnette came in. So it's like having, you know, Papa Smurf and then Smurfette. Johnette, see what we did there?

**Jason Hammer** (1:04)
I'm sure she appreciates that. Should I start here?

**Nigel** (1:07)
Yeah, you're going to play. Are you OK with this?

**Johnette Cruz** (1:09)
All right, let's go.

**Jason Hammer** (1:10)
Sharon Osborne. She blew up at her son, Jack Osborne.
Well, he was reading some of the online comments about their plans for an AI. Ozzy live concert event. Go ahead.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:26)
It's too soon, slash disrespectful after his passing. He's being kept on digital life support. It's a cash grab and exploitive. His legacy should stay tied to his music and his live performances.

**Sharon Osbourne** (1:39)
Cash grab. I'm not asking you to come. I don't want your money. I don't need your money. For somebody to turn around to me and say, I'm doing a cash grab. For 10 years, we have been exploring it. And the thing is, I don't have to justify. What do they think we're going to do? I'm going to hock my husband around selling weed killer on an ad or selling cigarettes or beer. Do you think I'm going to do that? No.

**Jason Hammer** (2:04)
Hammer, what do you think? Are you OK with AI Ozzy in a live concert event?

**Nigel** (2:10)
Nobody likes doing stupid AI stuff more than I do. Like, Nigel can attest. Like, I've made you make out with Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar.

**Johnette Cruz** (2:20)
It's a long list of stuff, too.

**Nigel** (2:22)
It's a very long list of things.

**Jason Hammer** (2:24)
It's an ugly list, Johnette.

**Nigel** (2:27)
But my first instinct was cash grab, because it just feels like this isn't anything Ozzy would have wanted, an AI concert after he's dead. I don't know. That was my first instinct. And now the fact that Sharon and the kids are getting so defensive about it tells me I'm not the only one.

**Jason Hammer** (2:47)
Johnette, if tickets were going on sale today, Johnette, would you buy them? Would you buy them over another concert?

**Johnette Cruz** (2:55)
Absolutely not. It gives me the itch. It's just something not right about it. I don't think it's a way to honor his legacy and who he is. And then also with the family, like they're still grieving. And so some, yeah, I agree. I feel like it's kind of more of a cash grab at this point. I would never watch that.

**Nigel** (3:11)
Remember when Kanye was still married to Kim?
And like for one of her birthdays or anniversaries or something, he did that AI Robert Kardashian. Like it was an AI.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:24)
I forgot about that.

**Nigel** (3:25)
Like of her dad saying, Kim, I'm so proud of you. And I thought that was incredibly creepy.

**Johnette Cruz** (3:29)
Like it's very creepy. It's so weird.

**Nigel** (3:32)
Right. Like that wouldn't be touching to me. It would weird me out.

**Johnette Cruz** (3:35)
Same.

**Jason Hammer** (3:36)
Got an update here of a story we had last week. We have some audio to accompany this story now of the pilot. Remember the story having to return to the airport, Hammer, a flight to Spain had to return to Newark because someone's Bluetooth device was named bomb.

**Nigel** (3:55)
Right. Some kid had his device labeled bomb and another passenger saw it.

**Jason Hammer** (4:01)
Now without saying that, here's the pilot giving the bad joke news to the passengers.

**SPEAKER_2** (4:08)
We're going to be returning back to Newark because we have one passenger that seems to be making a funny joke that isn't so funny.
Unfortunately, because of one person who doesn't want to comply with the instructions and it's compromising the integrity and the safety of not only his crew, but all the other passengers. At this time, we're going to be making our return back to Newark. The federal agents will be coming on board. Very serious issue.
