Thank y'all for joining us.
Thank y'all for joining us.
Brother Z holding me down on the production and sound, man.
It's Friday.
What y'all got playing, man?
833-212-1017 is the number to dial.
833-212-1017 is the number to dial.
Man.
Follow us on YouTube, man.
I'm filling in for the next couple weeks.
This should be fun.
We'll be able to, you know, go in-depth in about a couple conversations.
I'm gonna plan some things out for next week.
And we're gonna get into depth in a lot of things, man.
We might preview some of that on this show.
But today, today we had an amazing lunch break conversation.
talking about data.
You know, what was going on and who's responsible for the data hikes?
Ooh, that sip of coffee was hot.
Ooh, burnt going down.
Oh, but yeah, man, once again, welcome, welcome, welcome to this amazing Friday.
If you just joining us.
Last show on the lunch break with myself and maybe Shannon.
We had Dr. Adel Corcor talking about the power of motion and movement.
And it prompted me to want to go into.
Another discussion today, but I'm going to give you all an idea of what all we're going to be talking about.
Today, some of the things we didn't finish on our lunch.
So it's a little leftovers.
You feel me?
And we're going to sip it with this wine from the grape vines that we picked.
But I want to go over the power of motion and how it impacts, how movement impacts the mind and our health.
We want to talk about the gap by the numbers.
We want to talk about what that inactivity costs medically.
We want to talk about why these gaps exist.
And it's not about willpower, y'all.
So make sure you tap in 833-212-1017.
That's the number to dial.
833-212-1017.
That's the number to dial.
Follow us on YouTube.
Bring somebody to the YouTube, which you as well, man.
Send the link out.
Tell somebody, hey, chime in to this.
Then we want to talk about real free local options.
that people could, you know, tap into, not just national talking points.
Then we want to talk about data centers.
We want to continue our conversation about data centers.
I don't think we was able to get deep into it.
You know, a couple of people felt the way.
Yeah, Robin, where you at?
Come back, man, Rob.
And educate me, please.
I'm not beyond being educated.
And if I'm wrong, I admit I'm wrong.
I'm just going off of the research that we did.
So on today's grapevine show, we got a bunch of stuff that we want to pick through, man.
We want to talk about data centers, the real numbers behind the controversy.
The jobs and tax incentive side of the argument.
We want to also talk about the proposed moratorium.
What would it actually do?
What would it actually do?
What does it look like?
So we want to talk about the case against it for balance and how it compares nationally.
Then we want to go over a few data centers that are already here.
in Wisconsin and Milwaukee.
One in Mount Pleasant.
Which used to be Foxconn.
We had that whole Foxconn deal.
I think that was from.
I think Foxconn deal came through the was that the.
Scott Walker administration that approved the Foxconn deal.
Which was then uh, you know Foxconn didn't do what they were supposed to do so I think Microsoft ended up taking that over.
Did Microsoft do what they were supposed to do?
They here and they spending big.
They spending big.
So we're gonna talk about why this specific land matters.
And we're gonna talk about the Foxconn history of it as well.
What is it gonna be costing our region?
We're gonna talk about that.
And then we're going to talk about the one actually in Milwaukee and is tribally owned by Pottawatomie.
And then for lunch, we had talked about a conversation.
I don't think you're all going to digest that.
Well, I just don't know how much we're going to digest this, right?
I need some thumbs
man because I Did some research and is showing that we are partially the reason that these data centers exist our consumption of data in general of as humans and I know it's hard for us to understand like
I want us to think about this.
We set it on a lunch break.
It's the leftovers right now, all right?
It's the leftovers.
We didn't get the lunch size.
We got the dinner size meal at lunch.
How much data did we use arguing on Facebook about data centers?
We don't take things like that into consideration.
We don't think of our own data consumption use.
Then we're going to take a deeper dive into those apps we use every day and what keeps them running.
All right.
Then.
I want us to close about what a healthy data center actually could look like.
What would it look like?
And please, if you're an expert call in.
833-212-1017.
Call in.
Share your knowledge with our Truth family.
I'm not an expert.
I'm a researcher.
Because certain things and actions prompt me to want to go a little further, dig a little deeper.
All right.
I had to go a little deeper.
Do a little more research.
I don't know if y'all want to hear.
I don't know if y'all want to hear.
And the generation that has been some of the loudest about data centers has been the largest consumers of the data today.
Follow us on YouTube Join the conversation I'm not perfect if you know how data works and data centers work Come on up call in let's talk about it But right now I got some research that I did And it was very interesting It was very interesting
I hope we can have this conversation in a very civil manner, right?
Because data centers has been a huge, huge, huge.
Conversation in not just our governor election, but all across the nation.
The conversation is about data centers.
What is it causing our our communities?
What is it?
You know, what is the the impact?
The harm the energy usage the water usage But I want to also dig deeper and have a conversation like I don't
Fault anybody.
I don't knock anybody for being anti data centers and being concerned about the environment.
I think we should.
I think we should be concerned about the environment and what corporations leave behind.
When they're parading jobs and growth and economic impact in communities.
But I want us to think about not just data centers, but the environmental neglect that has been happening in our same communities.
It's a lot of things right now we could be equally loud about that I feel is even more detrimental and causing greater environmental impact in our communities.
One of them being master lock Hmm We don't want to hear about that though everybody quiet about master lock, but was that Midtown Nobody showed up when master lock closed down and took them 10,000 jobs off of 33rd 32nd and center street Nobody protest
about them leaving toxic chemicals on Center Street.
But it's all right.
Don't go anywhere.
When we get back, we'll get right into it a little bit more on the award-winning 10170 Truth.
What up y'all welcome back welcome back.
It's your boy Ray Nitty holding it down on the grapevine on the award-winning one-on-one seven the truth Man We're gonna jump right into it man.
We had dr. Adel Corkor on the lunch break and he was talking about the importance of movement and emotions and how him
getting active helped him with his anxiety and his mental health.
So it made me want to bring us some some information.
So we wanted to talk about the power of motion.
Movement, mind and health.
So I'm going to give you all the gap by the numbers.
You know, we like to give you all the numbers.
30 percent of non Hispanic
Black adults and 31% of Hispanic adults report being physically inactive outside of work compared to 23% of white adults.
And just 20% of Asian adults, the CDC's own national numbers.
Only 39% of non-Hispanic black adults and 40% of Hispanic adults meet basic aerobic activity guidelines versus 48% of white adults.
adding strength training requirements, roughly 75% of all Americans fall short, meaning this is a national problem that hits black and brown communities the hardest.
And we be eating the craziest.
So as much as we like to make fun of the white people in their food for not being seasoned.
That's a
valid reason to make fun of them.
considered white food is the real question.
Ah.
Green bean casserole, you mean, sir?
Get it right, please.
Green bean casserole that I actually admire, especially when they season it right.
And the corn casserole.
I actually admire when they season it right.
But.
Nevertheless.
Our food be too seasoned and then we go sit down.
We ain't moving.
We not moving because food be too seasoned.
Black women specifically report the least leisure time physically activity.
Physical activity of any group, about 38% report little to no participation compared to 23% of white women.
Man, we gotta get active.
All the spaghetti, the greens, all the Tony saturys, lorries, jerk,
I love some jerk season.
But what does that inactivity cost us?
What do it cost us medically?
And I'm trying, y'all, I'm trying to get back active.
I've been trying to get back in the gym.
I've been trying to get back in the gym.
So I just start with, like, trying to eat better.
I got a job now.
I'm on the radio from Monday through Friday.
12 to 4 then we got be here early to prep and we got to discuss after you see the excuses humans make for not being active I Just made up all kinds of excuses for inactivity and what it is costing what does it cost to me black Americans face some of the highest risk levels of any group for heart disease stroke asthma and several cancers Conditions physical activity
directly protects against.
Now that's something to think about.
As I drink this sweet coffee.
Zach, put me up on the DJ brothers.
He put me up on the you put up on it, bro.
You put me up on it.
I've had like.
Six cups.
So
now it's my fault that you're not active.
what
It's
I'm just talking about the sweet coffee that you put me up on and then my own inactivity did not work off said sweet coffee is the reason I am putting myself at risk for some of these things like heart disease stroke, asthma and several cancer.
So
No, it's not your fault I'm inactive.
It's my fault.
It's your fault that this tastes so good.
Pause.
Pause.
But as we stated, Black Americans face some of the highest risk levels of any group for heart disease, stroke, asthma, and several cancers.
Asthma.
Roughly 80% of black women in the US are affected by overweight or obesity and the black white obesity gap is wider for women 56% versus 39% Than for men That's kind of great So we got all of these things and we ain't active And we not active
Let's talk about why the gap exists.
And it's not about willpower.
It's not just because I just I can't do it.
Less than half of all Americans live within a half a mile of a park.
Dr. Addle literally was just talking about this, the access to places where people can be active at.
That access is not evenly distributed historically.
Disinvested neighborhoods disproportionately lack sidewalks, bike lanes, and recreation centers.
Research on Hispanic communities specifically found people attending free community-based exercise classes had 130% odds of positive mental well-being.
Showing the barrier is often access to safe, low-cost options.
Not motivation.
Not motivation.
Now we can talk about like so many in home.
Activities that you could do, but I think it's something about actually getting outside and being in nature, walking, jogging, you know.
It's something about that.
It feels different than just doing a hundred jumping jacks, sit ups and push ups at home on the floor.
Just go outside of your front yard and do it.
Make you feel different.
Make you feel good.
Shift work.
I just told you, I got a job now.
Multiple jobs and unsafe or under-resourced neighborhoods for outdoor activity all compound the access problem.
This is infrastructure and economics as much as it is personal choice.
Jazzy back there working.
Producer Jazz.
So, I told y'all I had a job.
When I said man radio, what about?
It's hard to you got to pick up kids that you got to Sit down, you know Yeah, do things and by the time you look up is 9 p.m tight But I got some steps in that stay fair with a What are some things called
Funnel cake had a strawberry funnel cake with ice cream in my hand.
I was acting real different at State Fair.
Not even a funnel cake kind of guy or fresh strawberries.
But I had all that.
But we're going to talk about some free local options because we want to make sure people know what is available to them, right?
Milwaukee Recreation Runs Free Community Wellness Programming year round across the city.
walking groups, organized group workouts, high intensity sessions, low intensity stretching classes available in every corner of the city, not just the affluent neighborhoods.
So make sure you check out Milwaukee Recreation.
They have a whole, they have a whole program, a whole book of programs for the summer.
We have Blake on the line.
Blake, how you doing?
Talk to me.
Educate me.
What's happening, man?
I'm doing great, man.
I just want to know what the odds is on my age period for what you're saying, because at least every day, I ride my bike through the neighborhood from, like, 35th and center all the way to, like, left and leading back, but, like, do it in the roundabout from the lead to Wisconsin and Wisconsin to, like, you know, do it in the square unit.
35th like that begin on the weekends every weekend.
I go to the golf course a living part I do some I do chip and play this way and listen unless my little cousin won't do nine holes and Then I take my three-wheeler I ride down from now off in the house to the lake and back I get my van and then I go up there to the pier and Then I walk down there.
I do the whole pier.
I take my balls.
I take my back to boys pause take my back to boys down
to uh the period touch the here and come back I get the other one then I bounce both of them back then I do my stretching and then I do my breathing and that's every Friday Saturday and Sunday but I stayed busy I can't sit still and if I'm in the house I feel like I'm missing something if I ain't not work which I work money through Friday I don't work the weekends no more last year at this time I had the job I got now
I had to go back because I was retired.
I had the job I got now.
I did the RNC.
I was doing security at the RAVE.
And I was working at State Fair doing in-state parking.
And I was working at a daycare.
Plus, I was catering, doing car washers, and power washing houses, and painting, and cutting grass, trying to get any piece of bread I could.
I was bringing home almost 60 Gs a month.
And I got an accident in January.
It was almost cutting half and paralyzed.
I said, man, I'm done.
I'm just going to do what I can, make sure my child support is paid, my life insurance,
My car paid for, so I just work, go home, and I just try and be productive in the neighborhood.
You know, speak to the kids, they speak to me.
The young ones, they like, I was, I was, I was reason I was away from the radio.
I called the radio station the other day and I was like, what are you being?
What are you being?
You've been there for a long time.
He had a lot of jokes from me, but I was like, I'm taking care of my dad.
He's transitioning, but I went to the park in tears where I grew up at.
You know, I got my little outfit on, my jersey, official jersey, my Jays, I'm out there, you know, I'm just shooting around, I go do my basketball thing.
Let me, let me, let me get one of them balls, Ozzy, let me have that bike.
Let me have your, let me have your Jordans.
Let me, let me get that jersey up off you all.
I had to leave because if I would respond, there ain't no telling what would have came out or how to
People, our age can't walk around and go to the neighborhoods we grew up in and go shoot around and then just go, just go home without.
some eggnary keys.
It could have been, you know, man, 54-year-old keys, 12 keys.
That's what it had been.
even in hearing you,
That all the activity you talking about doing I wish I you know I was doing half the activity You know you talking about do he said I'm gonna go off I go ride my bike to the lake then like man I'm still trying to get myself to walk around the track at Vincent High School So man, I um I command Blake Blake is active man.
That's somebody that's
He is not in the percentage that we talking about.
But don't go anywhere y'all will be right back on the award winning one on one, seven to true.
It's serious, his hands
suck.
What up?
What up?
What up?
What up?
Welcome back.
Welcome back.
Welcome back.
It is your boy Ray Nitty, locked in on the grapevine.
Hey, man, hour two, man.
We're going to have Jazzy join the crew, man.
This should be interesting.
Y'all might need some Mo 21 Savage when Jazz come in.
I'm going to love.
We be shmacking-ish on my daddy.
No, but we talking about our own...
Our own things, man.
If you just joining us, 833-212-1017, that's the number to dial.
833-212-1017, that's the number to dial.
I'm talking about motion.
We got Al joining us.
Al, how you doing?
Talk to me.
Well, you know, I kind of got to push back, because, you know, they always say our food is bad because we season it.
There ain't no benefit of eating raw ground beef and onions.
You can get salmonella.
Okay.
They talk about the food we season.
What's coming from cooking meth?
We don't cook no meth.
We don't think about eating people.
That
But you know who outlives everybody whether you are organic, gluten-free, or junky?
So they eat sleep drugs.
They body be dead, but they still be functioning.
Oh, my God.
Also, you have to look at the race of the individuals they talk about.
So, you know, I got to kind of push back as we work out all the time.
You know what I mean?
And look at some of them.
They don't work out at all.
They might just let live on longer because they might got good insurance.
Like when they always trying to put black people on diabetic medicine.
but not telling them the side effects.
Or look at the neighborhoods.
I be seeing white people ride down center at two, three o'clock in the morning on a bike.
But they know they safer in our neighborhood than we are.
So you got to look at, you know, all those things when they say, like, because of the food we eat.
I mean, look, they ain't married, because they thought he had superpowers.
I'm not eating no human being.
But I can tell you something they eat.
But I'll get banned if I say that.
And it ain't nothing healthy coming from that.
And you can get gunder, reclamidia, stiffness, and all that
then our
like these
yesterday.
Well, we will look at what's in our paper hoods.
Lemon pepper.
When you go to that community, they don't got lemon pepper on their corners.
They got our autos, not five lipisores in two blocks.
OK.
you got to look at all those things.
agree.
Well, you got my gals.
They got Grace.
Oh, no.
Oh, because I was about to say in their neighborhood, they have certain foods in their neighborhoods because it's not allowed.
But see, when you're black, everything is allowed in your neighborhood.
And who's the people that's allowing it when they vote for it?
Like, why would you have a liquor store, two blocks to the left, two blocks to the right, one that's one block west, one that's one block north?
How can anybody make any money?
And who's going to be that drunk?
We need all them liquor
Yeah.
And then look at their neighborhoods.
They don't have churches on every corner.
Jesus coming, we in our neighborhood.
Now in our neighborhood, you could throw up a candy store church in a matter of the heartbeat.
You go to their neighborhood, you got one church, and you out in two hours.
You put them in our neighborhood, you need a 1099 because they gonna keep you up in there four days a week.
But
I
said all I had to say, have a buzz ball.
Yeah, I think we were saying the same things, just saying it a little different.
You know, I'll say things a little bit more raw than I might express it.
But yeah, I think Al highlighted a lot of the things that we were saying.
The access to healthier foods in our neighborhoods.
The way we over-indulge.
and things like liquor.
We all, we all seen liquor stores where at 855, they in line, ready for them old Englishes.
We all seen it, but we gonna keep it moving.
We will keep it moving.
We was talking about data centers, y'all.
Who's talking about data centers a 3 3 2 1 2 10 17 is the number to dial I'm surprised ain't nobody called about this one yet I Asked the question I said I wonder how much data we used arguing about data centers on Facebook Nobody wanted to have that conversation or how much data we use arguing on
Instagram or Twitter about data centers.
And we was getting into the reason why these data centers exist.
The consumption side, nobody puts in the same story as the data center story.
We don't ever put the consumption side.
in the same story as the data center story.
Because if we wasn't overconsuming, maybe I'm wrong.
But if we wasn't overconsuming, maybe they may not have been such a need for so many more data centers.
All the filters that we use on social media, how much data?
That's a stretch.
You don't think that the different filters that people have to apply on Instagram increases the data usage?
I give you one even different When you try to apply some filters, do you not notice sometimes your phone buffers when the data when it tries to upload it onto it?
Or your phone slows down Or if you edit in video production
The filters that you using in.
In.
Adobe.
What's the other software I'm thinking about for coloring?
All of that is.
We run out of iCloud storage and we buy more.
We don't stop using that.
We don't stop taking food pictures.
We went from having to purchase the CD to insert in the Xbox.
Now you could just download it straight to your Xbox.
Or PlayStation.
The average American now spends roughly six to seven hours a day on screen outside of work.
with social media alone accounting for about three hours of that globally.
Streaming set a record of 16.7 trillion minutes streamed in 2025 alone, a 19% increase in just one year.
The underlying demand for video infrastructure is still accelerating.
They trying to figure out how to make iPhone cameras and videos even better.
What do we think all of these things are stored?
So we got to have the conversation about our over consumption of social media and all of these platforms.
Google's Gemini app hit 950 million monthly users by mid 2026, up from 750 million in just two quarters.
We not running from AI and data set, we running to it.
The infrastructure cost of that shift is real and measurable.
One industry analyst found a single chat GPT style AI Curie uses roughly 15 times the electricity of a standard Google search.
So chat GPT and all of these things is because humans wanted things faster.
Google search wasn't just enough.
We needed it faster.
We needed somebody to search Google for us.
We needed a AI agent to search it for us and turn it into our homework that we turn in our presentation for work.
The same person doing the same basic tasks now draws far more power than they did just a few years ago.
Simply because the tool changed because the demand for faster results got higher.
Wanted faster productivity and output got higher.
Humans.
Let's talk about why consumption keeps rising.
Platforms are explicitly engineered to maximize time on app.
So your algorithm feeds, your auto play, the infinite scroll.
Who's just talking about that on the lunch break?
It didn't used to be like that.
This isn't incidental growth.
It's the direct business model of the companies now building the data centers to support it because we.
kept using it.
We kept using it.
It was like, oh, let's figure out how we get them to use it more.
Now we're going to have an infinite scroll.
We call it doom scrolling.
I haven't seen so many in grown toenail videos and in grown hair videos that I just sit and watch and just enjoy it.
What?
Yes.
Yeah, just using strange data.
Blackheads Stupid fart prank videos All of that stuff is dirt is stored somewhere.
It's not just in the air.
It's not just stored on our phone Amazon we love shopping on Amazon this man looking at me making me feel strange The way that they just be popping up to the window here.
I can't get used to it
He gone now.
He did.
Damn, they're pressed his face against the glass.
Amazon.
Sheen.
However you say it.
Teemu.
Facebook, Instagram, TikTok.
Meta.
Roblox.
Netflix.
We ain't even watching it y'all y'all just land Y'all skipping the Netflix part just using data for no reason just to get to the chill Amazon Disney Shannon said we streaming right now on 107 a we award winning streaming right now
Kick Kaisa not speed Dean the great a B What do we think all of this is what this ain't dial up AI is being embedded into tools people already use daily
that caused data center.
So now the AI tools is enhancing our use so we can move faster so people could get things back faster.
People could put projects together faster.
I'm not saying don't care about the harm that data centers could bring.
I'm just saying let's talk about consumption as well.
because a lot of the people that was arguing about data centers was arguing the most on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.
How much data we use arguing about data?
Don't go anywhere, y'all.
We'll be right back on your award-winning 10170 Truth.
What up, y'all?
Welcome back.
Welcome back to the award-winning 1017, The Truth.
This is The Great Vine with your boy Ray Nitty.
Squeezing them grapes man getting that wine out of it y'all ain't drinking it though Y'all don't want to hear the truth They don't want to hear the truth y'all we talking about data centers and the reality around it right and we want to talk about why consumption keeps rising We have the conversation about Data centers right but we leave out
the consumption conversation part of it.
Each new capability, AI image, video generation, longer conversations, voice modes is dramatically more compute intensive than the text based tools that came before it.
So even flat user growth would still mean rising total demand because each individual interaction now costs more compute that it used to.
That's what I'm saying.
That's what I've been saying.
It's easy to point at Microsoft or Oracle, Meta, Amazon as the villain building these facilities in our Wisconsin farmlands, right?
But the honest starting point is that we
are the demand signal.
Every hour of scrolling.
Every AI question acts instead of just Googling it.
And even the level of Googling is on it as well.
Every autoplay video is a vote for more infrastructure like what's happening right now in my pleasant.
That doesn't let companies off the hook, though, right?
Because how
They build it is what's important.
But it does mean the demand side of the story is us, not just them.
They have a responsibility to build healthy data centers.
Yes.
But we also have to have a conversation with ourselves about consumption.
I want to talk about apps that we use every day and what keeps them running.
Every major platform people use daily, Google search, Gmail, Instagram, Facebook, Amazon, AWS host hosted apps, Microsoft Outlook teams and every AI type of they run on exactly the kind of data center infrastructure that we talking about.
I know it's hard to understand.
You probably feel a little strange about arguing on Facebook now about datacenter.
You're gonna have to get in the field and get offline with that fight.
You're gonna have to stop being on Netflix so much.
Google data centers alone consume 61 6.1 billion dollar gallons, 6.1 billion gallons of water in 2024 up from 4.3 billion in 2021.
By 2028 US data centers could consume as much as 12% of the entire nation's electricity.
The point I'm trying to make, yes, corporations has a responsibility to be a healthy partner in our cities and states that they are occupying.
And I feel like we need to do business differently.
The same way OpenAI is offering the government and the United States percentages in their companies, we need to talk about what
That shared revenue could look like then if we already going to have data centers here.
You don't just get tax breaks like, no.
We want to tariff.
We want to Wisconsin tariff on data centers.
You got to pay your share.
That's just a thought.
I ain't saying that that's what is going to happen.
But what I'm saying is every scroll every search every AI question feels free and weightless in the moment Every post we put on Facebook It feels like we ain't doing nothing in the moment every argument online that we have about data centers But it's drawing on real water and real electricity from real communities some in which are already
Drought stress.
Convenience has a supply chain even when you can't see it, y'all.
Y'all ain't hear me.
They don't want to hear it.
This ain't about.
You know.
Be an anti or for it.
This is about us as a society, as humans, as the ones who are consuming the data.
A 3 3 2 1 2 10 17.
If I'm wrong, calling strong.
Just don't FaceTime in, though, because you're going to be using data.
Don't go anywhere y'all.
This is Ray Nitty on the award-winning 1017 the truth
