Gentle Trends & The Heart Of A Zeiter 4/6: Mario, Daniel Radcliffe, iPod Nano, Donda Academy, ChatGPT 4, Love is Blind

a Zider. We are sirsiders anyway. I'm Miles, I'm joined by Becca Ramos. What's good? However, Hello, It's a beautiful day in New York City. It's getting to be seventy degrees today. It was kind of oh shit, it's seventy four right now in the city. Yeah, that's the highest it's been in months, in months, good friends, probably since the fall. That's cool because you know it's you know, it's gonna be seventy eight this weekend in la you know what, ye sick of waring logs leaves? Yeah, today,

first of the season. My legs, I don't even want to look at them. I don't know what what shade of unhealthy, of liked of indoor they've become. I have my indoor legs right now, my winter legs. It's so crazy, now that I've left the South, how much brighter my skin is in the sense that I am probably eight shades um not as dark as I used to be, like me from when I lived in Texas full time, right and now it's it's truly night and day. Like man, look at you. Do you move from the South where

there is less sun, now you are wider um. Anyway, let's look, everything's going to be through the prism of Reba McIntyre. But anyway, let's get to the actual trends. This is not through the prism of Reba McIntyre. This let's look at the new Mario film through the prism of a violent right wing extremist named Anna Perez who she's got problems with this new Mario film and she's

gonna tell you why. This is something that's trending today because everyone's mad at the Mario movie for their own reasons. And this is the shitthead version. Now you might be thinking, Anna, who cares? It's just some dumb movie. But you should care. And here's why, because what they are doing is they're they're trying to brainwash society to think that that's how

women are supposed to be. And this is dangerous because then we have women who go out there who think they're men and they wind up getting hurt, they wind up getting raped, they wind up getting Because this is who's going to consume this content, well, young kids, right, it's a cartoon. First off, This is her response because because Princess Peache was not damseled adequately enough in the film, that because she was not completely helpless, that this is

the message that you're sending to kids. I could go on, but I won't. I'll just spare you it. The tenuous connections she tries to make are really something else. But she's like, let's just face it. You know, women are not gonna like fight some guy and like be the badass, like badass feminism is like killing women right now, I have no words like that truly rocked me to my core. I can't believe the idea is that because you're not damseled enough, you're showcasing that you are vulnerable to men.

When you think you're not, which is so crazy because I don't know a woman on earth that doesn't already think no matter how strong they are, they aren't also vulnerable, you know, because we are taught. Despite how much we protect ourselves, how much we do self defense, we have you know, we put our keys in between our fingers when we're walking at night, that we call somebody on the road that you know, carry pepper spray, we carry,

you know. I see ads for knives that are you know, like disguised as rings that you can just like push a button and then you know, it doesn't I saw that one too that was like like a razorblade that came out of like a gold ring. Yeah, yes, yes, So it's like it doesn't matter how prepped we are, Like, there's still not enough prep I could do to feel safe. You know, Yeah, I will always no matter what you told,

there's nothing you can do. You will get hurt. It's not a matter of if, it is a matter of when. And also it'll be your fault. So that was just crazy. Yeah. So but also you know, just just bow to the men because they're the ones that are going to bravely step into danger. I don't know, but the popular thing of like so in the men are the ones hurting us, but they're also also protect us. Yeah, men will not men will not protect you. Okay, that's just a sad

fact um anyway, So that's you know. Meanwhile, we were talking about like how like the reviews kind of seem to be divided or at least like like there's like a fifty four percent Rotten Tomato score, Like on the day it came out, people who are like like Mario were like, yeah, that actually wouldn't bed another like movie critics where it's like, yeah, it was, actually it was fun. Then there are like other movie critics who have no idea what Mario is and like, what the fuck was this?

I don't even understand it's bad. So I don't know. I mean, I'm still intrigued. I'm still intrigued. I definitely still want to go see it. I try to, you know, maybe bootlog it yesterday, but it was you know, too new to be old. Yeah yeah, yeah, but yeah, I'm intrigued. I'll probably go see it. I think this take was absolutely insane, and I feel like, honey, take your pick

of the million other princesses out there that are damseling enough. Yeah, well, let's go from one brand of backwards feminism, unfortunately, to another, which are the turfs? Uh, you don't raise the turfs are out in fucking full force right now because Daniel Radcliffe, he recently moderated a round table with some like non binary and trans kids for the Trevor Project, and his whole thing was like, you know, if we're going to talk about these kids in this community, let's talk to

them and let's hear from them. Let's not just give our ten thousand foot view on what you think these kids are doing or their hives are like, and let's hear from them. We love a king who doubles down on fuck the turfs, you know. Oh yeah, he was just like, yeah, you made me famous, Jack, watch me use this platform for this. Ah you're mad now. So because that happened, I'm presuming this is why what this is happening. We're now seeing a bunch of fucking weirdos.

Goofy motherfucker's attacking like his sis partner who is currently pregnant, and they're like, oh, I know one, when I see one fucking transphobic shit, it's really fucking disgusting. And you know, again, his partner is a CIS gendered woman who is pregnant, and there are people still like casting aspersions and they're like, you, guys, tell me what you see in this pick again because they're mad that he's actually using his platform to do

something substantive. And then these people are just trying to brigade on Twitter. It's anyway, it's so crazy. Well, you know, people are just I don't know, people are they don't know what to do with their anger. And it's for whatever reason, a lot of people like to go to like try and pick on people. They think that like, hey, nobody got their back, so I'm gonna go all in on this group right now. It's bullshit. So anyway, shout

out to Daniel Radcliffe. Yeah, like you're saying, continue to use that platform to upset your former colleague or whatever you call that person. JKKK rowling. Okay, let's move on to the next trend iPod nano is trending. I saw this. I know what the fuck is coming back. I mean, I remember when I had a little hypod nano. I

loved my nano. So this is trending. Not because the iPod nano is coming back, but because people saw like these images of a new like a patent that Apple apparently recently filed or maybe like a year or two ago, about how they wanted to add a control display to the case of AirPods, so like your air POD's case would now have like a full on display screen that they're saying could like control the audio and this, that and the other. In my mind, I'm like, what the

fuck do I need? What the This seems so fucking unnecessary, and like I'm I'm yeah, I'm starting to worry about them over there at Apple because they have not come with it in a wild Now. It's very full circle moment of like, Okay, you created the original technology and you're basically creating a reboot of that original technology of

you know, minimal you know. It's kind of like when they came out with a mini shuffle after they had already made all those other shuffle items, right, and people are now using them as hairclips, which is crazy, like gen zers, I keep saying, or using them as hairclips. I'm like, are using what as hairclips? As those iPod shuffles? Yeah, they're like look at these crazy hair clips and it's like those used to be like shit, I love that. Like now like gen Z is kind of like it's

like water World. Now we're like they're just coming upon all this weird shit from the past with no explansion, like yeah, this thing this is now a bretty. It's like like this is artifact and I'm like, oh my god, I feel so old love, but this really to me.

I'm like, unless you're not like because I know with the watches specifically right that you can pay for the cellular plan so you can use your watch without having your phone, so if you can go on to run or something, Yeah, you can go on a run, you can take a call. So I feel like, unless you're getting a data plan for your headphones, what the fuck is the point of this, because like you're gonna have

your phone on you when you what I mean. And well, for them, it's not necessarily to like stream or anything. They just want to have like your controls for playback or like you switch audio sources or like the audio modes. I mean right now you can pause and skip and change the fucking like noise canceling function. That's I'm like, I'm never like, God, I wish I could just do this on the case. Like half the time, I don't know where the fucking cases I was gonna say, I

lose it all the time. I'm like, Yeah, what they really need to do is fix the feature for find my headphones or whatever. Yeah, make that should be louder. Well, the only way it works is if your headphones are not all these and they're just like stranded around the house. Which who's leaving the headphones places? Okay, they're in the case. I just can't find the case. I got cats, okay, And you leave a Lucy around, they'll back that shit to the fucking edge of the earth and you don't

know where it goes. I'm not leaving the Lucy's around, you know what I'm saying. Charge, So I'm like, if I can only like i've lost the little case, So if I can only find them by having the headphones loose and out right, that's not helpful to me. This is again another thing where I'm like, I fail to see what it's like. It's a solution in search of

a problem. As like other Apple people described the like upcoming augmented reality headset that's coming out that we discussed where It's like, what, bro, nobody wants this shit, Like nobody is nobody who is like your everyday consumer is saying, Oh man, I wish I could have a fucking augmented reality headset to like we don't have a use case for it right now. Yeah, but anyway, whatever, good luck to y'all. I mean, you have so much money that

there'll there's absolutely no way you can fail. You're literally too big to fail. So maybe you know you'll have a nanok Is coming to a pocket near you. All right, let's take another break, not another break, Let's take our first break, and we're gonna be right back to talk about some interesting legal and technological developments and one trash reality suggestion that I kind of agree with. All right, after this, and we're back, and so is the Donda Academy.

In the news. Now, I'm not going to talk too much about Kanye West, but there's something very interesting happening where he's being sued alongside a couple other administrators. Like these former staff members are just coming together to allege all kinds of things about how fucked up and like just stupid this school was, and like they're all kinds of things from like labor violations to like not even

coinciding with like actual educational standards. But some of the fun weird things are apparently that the students were fed

sushi for lunch every day. That news makes me chuckle because it's it's such a rich person problem, you know, to be like, yeah, yeah, the kids have to have sushi, and it's like kids don't want sushi no matter how rich they are, They just don't, you know, like they're kids, and like, yeah, these two black women who are like the only black women at the school, they're like, man,

there's all kinds of other bullshit going on here. M and my god, there was like another thing about how he doesn't like chemicals because I don't know, he believes they're bad. He doesn't like stairs. They could only teach on the first floor because he doesn't like stairs. So I'm like, oh, him and Trump like actually do have a bit in common if he's an anti stare. And then you know, also some other like there were no

chairs either. It just sounds like, you know, it sounds as bad as it seemed from the outside when you saw those kids dressed in all black, and it couldn't be Nike and it couldn't be a DAO se either, apparently, So yeah, feel bad for those kids, but I'm sure they're gonna have a I mean, hey, they'll have a great podcast in about fifteen years talking about oh no, yeah.

And apparently I didn't know that, like they snuck back into La County, like people didn't know where it was first, like a first was in Ventura County and then it like secretly crept into like an exurb in La County. And that's whatever. Anyway, Pinning that one, we'll see, we'll see what happens there. But I hope these workers get what they're asking for. Next up chat GPT four strending again because this time this motherfucking AI just passed the

medical licensing exam with fine colors. And there's this doctor, this Harvard doctor who apparently is like you know, he's a physician and he's like a computer programmer, so he wanted to just kind of check it out, put this thing through its paces, and he was like, damn, this thing is doing very like basically said it was a

bable to like assess better than other doctors. He's like observed and because like it's like multi lingual, it could do all like the translating like that's another hard bit about can you translate like the kind of care people need into other languages? He said he was very very impressed with it. On the other side of it, though, he said, quote, on the one hand, I was having

a sophisticated medical conversation with a computational process. On the other hand, just as mind blowing was the anxious realization that millions of families would soon have access to this impressive medical expertise. And I cannot figure out how we could guarantee or certify that chat GPT for his advice would be safe or effective. I mean it's not like, you know, I don't think people are going to be like I don't need to I don't need a doctor. I got chat GPT. But who knows, based on our

current capitalist hellscape, it may be more effective. Sadly, I don't know. Yeah, I mean, there are a lot of people who don't have proper access to healthcare, and I can imagine that they would ask questions to something that they would guarantee maybe more advice if it's free versus Google, where you're having to decipher it yourself. Whether that's good or bad. You know, who's to say, I think maybe potentially really bad. But yeah, I can't tell if this

is great for democracy or I don't know how. I mean it's it's the other thing is like the you know, like I think they also mentioned like it doesn't take a hippocratic oh, so like how do you like? But again, this is just the so this is just what this thing is capable of right now. And it's just interesting that this doctor was truly like wow, it's like this shit. It's like he's like low key better than real doctors.

I know. Yeah, because it's like at one side it's like maybe it would give you unbiased advice about what you're going through, right the other it's like it's still a robot. Yeah. Super producer Victor brings up a good point. He's like, for the people who do their own research, yeah, uh this yeah, who knows what's who knows where they go? And yeah that's the other side of it too, right, are they going to use it to circumvent getting vaccinated?

Like if you know, somebody's gonna pull up saying they're a doctor, and they're gonna like they're gonna be like chat GPT trained or some shit. Honestly, you know what this reminds me When I binged House at the beginning of the year, there is an episode where um, one of the doctors who's like in houses new residency, he's like pretending to be House and he's like answering these questions and like taking a side check to like be a consultant doctor via email. But he doesn't have all

the answers because he's like a fucking residence. So he's like asking people around him and like trying to get the answers, but he's like using doctor House's name and also like such money from people. Yeah, so it's that at least those kind of grifter skills, you had to have people skills too. You know, you go around pretend you're asking an anonymous questions, so you could you're actually you know, you were front and pretending you were a

doctor House. But anyway, yeah, we'll see what it does next. Oh. There was I read something too that like a bunch of poets and like critics of like poetry, Like critics were like, this fucking thing can't do poems. Just so y'all know this thing is a fucking whackish shit. There ain't no way, it's coming for poetry yet, so yeah, yeah, be careful, Yeah exactly, because the next thing, you know, it's like I AMGPT five, I'm a poet, and don't

I know it. Finally, now, I have not seen the new season of Love is Blind, but I have seen all the ones that have come previous, and I am going to watch this season because I love this show. I love this show, which I call falling in Love through the Wall because lonely now apparently right now a lot of couples haven't made it, and a lot of viewers are like, man, this is kind of stupid, Like

what you need to do? Apparently this is something that has been suggested a lot online is that maybe they should up the age and all the people that are on the show should be in their thirties, because like one of the couples that's like most promising on this season, apparently they're thirty six and thirty seven. Yes, I absolutely and Brett people in their twenties. I get it. Are you there for love? Are you there to be? Like? Yeah, I could get my whole shi pop in on here.

I do think they tried harder this season to get men over thirty because the past last three seasons, but especially last season, the men were typically under thirty because they all just want to get famous. It's so clear like for this show specifically, a lot of the men are the ones just trying to get on TV, and

the women are the ones trying to find love. So a lot of the women applying were over thirty or like late twenties, early thirties, right like twenty seven to thirty four I want to say was probably the range last season, but the men who were like twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven, and it's like, I don't know, as a woman who dates men, I have not had success dating younger men ever in my life. I've tended to date not too much older, but definitely like at

least my age or within five years, you know. So to me, having these women who were in their thirties trying to settle down having men that are babies to them, like twenty six and extensively less mature, it doesn't work. So this season I do feel like they did try to get more men over thirty, and I do think that's why you have a more promising couple than the last two seasons. Because the first season you had like the promising couple and they're still married, and then season

two and three were just like messy. It was just like so clear they were just like going out the rails coal. Oh remember that shit fucking Bartise fucking parties too article like uh like and it's so true like with Cole and Zeneb, right, Like Zeneb was like one in thirty one to thirty three and Cole was twenty six or something. So it's like it was so clear

that wasn't gonna work. And it was very clear the second and they met, like she was just like, oh, he's a baby, and he was just like, but I've been married before, and it's like, okay, yeah, but you're from Texas. That's like dull, you've been married. Ye, you've better marry four says that are twenty two, Like sure crazy?

So yeah, I agree. I think yeah for me too when you think about like the for me, the fun of the show is when you see people just somehow goes zero to sixty, like within three sentences, they're like, wait, what you're from where? You're also from there? Wait? Okay, hold on, do you like the local sports team? Yes? And then they do like a smash cut to their confessionally like I think I've fallen in love, like I think I've on Sally found the and they like they're

so serious. I'm like, yo's fucking entertainment, you know what I mean. And this season there is a couple like that, Zach and Bliss, and you know, there's a lot of details. I won't get into it, but I did feel like their conversations were like they were like they were talking about one thing and then all of a sudden, she's like, yeah, of course I know all the words of that song.

It's like my favorite song. And he's like, you know all the words to insert pretty famous song that a lot of people know the words, right, He's like that song my mother used to sing to me, like it's really important to me. And then and he was like, yeah, like I really love penguins. And she's like, oh my god, I've been told my whole life that my spirit animals penguins, and you're just spirit animals. Nah, we're just so insane. Wow, Okay,

justin I love to hear that. But yeah, I think the one thing I will say is like the people who I know have who have fallen in love the quickest and got married and like their shit evolves like

on a fucking at lightning speed. Are in their thirties, Yeah, like single people in their thirties they know because they are red dyea like a lot in their thirties are red d and if they haven't had the chance to like meet somebody like whatever out there, Like I know people who were like they went from like okay Cupid to marriage like in fucking three months, and they're with them and like they're falling, like they're doing it. Yeah,

So I want to see that. I want to see people fall in love through a wall and have that love be real and not be like you see them, you see each other for the first time, you're like, ooh, actually I'm not fucking with that at all. Yeah. This is the first season that they really I think, did look at people and they were like, oh right. I mean I think in that first season with the blonde girl Lauren and that Mark guy, yeah, one of those two though, it was kind of like but he's still

end up sucking. But like this season, like Zach and Irena, they looked at each other and they were like no, oh she literally they I don't even think they kissed. Like she was just like yeah, like I want to wait till marriage. And it's like, oh, you definitely have fucked before, girl, you just don't want to him. Wow wow wow wow. And then which one was? Um? What season was Deep? Deep? Too long and too Yeah? That was another one too Yeah. DJ fuck boy pulled up

and you were like, this guy's trash. He was so crazy. That man was so he tried, he tried, he tried. All right, Well that is it for this episode of I'm a Sersider. Thank you so much for joining us. We're gonna be back tomorrow with a great episode. You're gonna love it. Man. Yeah. Until then, take care of yourself, take care of each other, be kind to yourself, get the vaccine. Don't do nothing about white spremacy, transphobia, homophobia, none of that. Okay, don't don't tolerate it. Okay, we'll

see you soon. Take care bye,
