Luigi Merch Madness? RFK Wants Justice For His Uncle Jack 12.12.24

Do kids still do the thing where they take like their utensils and pound them on the table like we want to eat?

Do you remember doing ship like this? In here? Kids like.

Memories, we want to do kids.

I'm kind of thinking about all the things that I used to do that I'm wondering if that's still preserved in this modern era.

My dad would slap the ship out of my hands.

No, no, no, I did not do that. No no, I mean it was for fun. Never, I don't. I never do that in my own home.

We would do that in school.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was we would the teachers come on.

One of my favorite memories is years maybe like three or four years ago. We were at like a pretty like not a nice nice nice restaurant, but like pretty nice like Italian restaurant and.

Nice it was.

It was back when you.

Could get a table, and my wife and I were sitting now, wife and I were sitting there, and then all of a sudden, we just hear kids chanting as the waiter was bringing out pizza, and the parents were like scrambling to make them be quiet, and everyone just lit up. Yeah, it was such a good energy. Yeah, it was great and It's like we should all chant. If you're that excited about the food, that's a good sign. I mean, that's the way we get healthcare.

Yeah. Yeah, A bunch of dads come by and slap the ship out of us. Yea, take this ship?

HOI give me that, give me that fork? But I heard that my neck?

Yeah? Use why do you have a fork while you're asking for healthcare? God stabbed my eye? Yeah?

Gun, that's why I have it all right, that's something cool. Nailed it.

Just I was just thinking about how this was like the sweetest shiit that my like my grandmother would make it a holiday meal. And I remember one time trying to just eat exclusively ambrosia for a dinner, and that that's gonna happen because.

It's it's just sweet. It's just sweet.

Goodness, Elsie on salad, thank you so much, and just so I can yell just.

I love that.

And I'm glad that people on YouTube are already making pretty good sound alike instrumentals, because.

That wasn't even the original one that was sound alike. That's a good soundlike. We get the Steard's.

Production style is pretty straightforward.

So that's the one good thing is for seasoned producers to kind of do a copycat beat.

Thanks, housey on salad.

Thank you, housey on salad. I wonder if a housey on salad is possibly ambrosia. Do we think that that oh Hou's he on salad will possibly be more on this, more on that. At ten Miles were thrilled to be joined in our third seat by one of our favorite guests, a brilliant comedian, writer, actor his new special Daddy Long Legs. You must go watch right now. We'll wait, we'll still be here. Actually just wait till after the show. Then go watch it. It's on YouTube.

Here, let's do an hour long pause so they can do it.

One of your favorite guests. And yet, on the other hand, he's also the coiner of the disgusting phrase plumpers to describe his thighs. So you know the world is full of contradictions. Please welcome the brilliant, the hilarious, the riding of recumbent bike in short shorts. It's Blake Wexler.

This is Blake Wexler, aka my plumpers. Bring this gang to the yard. And damn right, they're wetter than yours, and they're white and thicker than yours. I can plumper you, but I'd have to charge. Look got everybody, I'm sex positive, now look out before that especially anti sex. That was inspired by vanadium silver from the the discord over there. Thanks all the liking people who who sent some aks aks's is it attorney's General's.

Ak They belong to the aks Aks.

Of course yes. And Andre Carrolinko for those of you who are wondering what a ca stood for?

Man, what happened to him? He really he almost he had it all.

He had it all, and then he started pushing his hair forward and nobody could take him seriously. Remember when his when his hair chilled, it was such a weird look.

It was like it was the worst night of my life.

When that happened. This player, this random Russian player, he was a real stat sheet stuffer. His name was Andre Kerlinko. He wore number forty seven, giving us ak forty seven great one of the great nicknames. And then one day he just was like, I don't do gel in my hair anymore. And his hair just like he looked like a twelve year old boy. All the sudme and his game fell off too.

He looks like he looked like a seventies like he would have played alongside like Pistol Pete Maravich or something.

Yeah, that was very floppy hair. Yeah.

I remember.

He also had a very famous wife and she was very public about the fact that she gave him a hall pass, like like a cheating pass in general. And I think this was in twenty thirteen, so way before I became sex positive. They were sex positive, and they set the trail for people like me to become sex positive.

This is all coming back to you now. You didn't store that information at the time. It just bounced off of you.

Yeah, an old journal.

Asleep.

This is what I was written in ESPN and two that six she calls it Andrea's allowance. Once a year he can have sex with another woman one night, no affairs, no divided loyalty.

She can live with that. It was her idea, offered as a gift.

There it is. Are they doing? Can we can we look up whether they're still together.

I'm curious they are still together. I believe.

Oh hell, fantastic, you love. Shout out Masha and Andre.

You know.

The bet? All right, Well blame Masha, let me cheat.

Hope it's not cheating if she knows about Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep, it's.

Not all past. It's his little allowance. I like it's like infantilizing acause I get to treat him like the little boy that he is.

There, you go, did you save up your little fuck pennies?

Andre?

Okay, go ahead, take him to the store.

First comes here comes an airplane. The hair out of your eyes, you child, Blake. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of the things we're talking about. We're going to look at things that are flying off the shelves following the tariffs. Not quite. No, we are going to talk about I wrote a thing about terriffs like two weeks ago and then I just forgot to do it on the show. So we might talk.

Anyone's gonna call him weed. I think we are miles.

We just did. We're gonna talking about r f k's long plan to find out what happened to Uncle Jack. He's he's trying to install a relative as a CIA deputy as the deputy head of the CIA because he wants to get to the bottom of what all went down in Dallas. So we'll talk about that. We'll check in with Mel Gibson. We'll do our we'll do our weekly uh Gibson Update. Yeah, we'll just check in to the weekly Mel watch.

Uh.

We'll talk tariffs, talking tariffs. We'll talk about talk about AI's intersection with toys and how that's going. Apocalypto is a good movie. I gotta say, not a good movie. Okay, Yeah, we might even talk about the the weap before that that is the best lethal weapon. We might even talk about Jared. We're not going to talk about much of this because Blake's the guests, so we'll just be all over the place like that. You know, we can't be.

The way you talk sometimes is insane, just the way, and you get away with it because of your charisma and anyway, go ahead.

You're taking me off topic.

You're taking me off topic. Sorry, I didn't mean to distract you by asking you the formatted question we ask every episode, Blake, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?

It is interesting that you bring this up. I think it's more revealing about you as you say these things and then they go in one year, they go out the other, and sometimes they sit in your body like microplastics. So you had said yes or last yesterday?

I have no.

All my days are only when I do the daily Zike ice, so yesterday when I get the daily.

You have separate syndrome where you are a separate you live your life one daily Zike is recording to the next and don't remember anything that happened in between.

That's true, and you do offer me severance after every one of my appearances on here, so I would.

Please, we will pay you handsomely to go away, sir, for.

Love of God. No, So I remember you saying.

I think I was talking about wax jackets, and then which are like rain coats or can or rain resistant, And then we're talking jackets.

It's quite stiff, and.

Take them off and they can just like stand up on their own.

Yeah.

Sometimes if I hang them up wrong, I think there's an intruder in mind. So, and I was looking up you were saying that gore TECs was partially responsible for like letting or just responsible for like eucroplastics microplastics to gor Tex.

Yeah.

Yeah, so I look that up.

I was like, huh, I wonder if he's right about that, and then I didn't think about it, and then I did look it up and yeah it was. That was my last Google search before I passed away. And then the paramedics brought me back against your wishes, not so fast, I said, but yeah, so apparently so they say they switched to a there's a lot of letters here, like pfas versus pfc's versus pt fes. But they say they now use Paul Tompkins's n FTS. So but now they do.

Yeah, shout out to three M you know, great great work by them. There's a great Negork article everybody can check out where wherein they invent Scotch Guard realize that it's like showing up in animals everywhere around where they are, and then like slowly they keep like testing people's bodies, like further and further out. They're like, we just tested somebody in China and like they have it in their body. This seems bad. Huh, how did you get there?

We selling out there?

No, no, no.

Is that our factory right half a mile from where does this happen? Okay, okay, just wondering.

Yeah, then they conducted a study internally and the person came back with the study results and they were like, well, you're fired instead of instead of doing anything about it. A wild story if true, but we again, we need Blake to google it a couple more times. But I think it happened.

I'm reading about it is there are people that were tasked with creating some kind of like jet fuel line, like they needed something a rubber they could use a jet fuel line.

And one of the chemist maximently.

Just spilled a bunch of fucking like synthetic latex that they were fucking with on their shoe and then they're like whoa, Like other liquids.

Are just running off of my shoe. Now, all right, fun invention like origin story like that where it's like, right, yeah, the guy had a chocolate bar in his pocket and he was working with microwaves, and then the chocolate bar melted and that's how we found out that microwaves would work for the microwave of And anyway, that guy died two weeks later.

Yeah, but it only hit the chocolate. It didn't hit the oran or just the chocolate. Oh my god, I have the same birthday as this lady who the one who tested its the one that fell all over her shoe.

Oh wow, that's miles your birthday overlaps for a wild dude. Oh my god, Chris the gortex shoe woman.

This is my midtown Hilton and patients is not zero probably patient one million.

Yeah that's right, Blake.

What's something he thinks underrated?

I will So we make a full pot of coffee in the morning, my wife and I, and then we put the rest of it in the fridge to have ice coffee later in the day as to not waste the the rest of.

The rest of the coffee. So it's a little I don't know if that's advice to tip your.

Little Uh hello, what say?

Just take this part of the show out?

Dude? Are you for real?

You really edit that?

You really? You just said?

Can you repeat what you just said? You you make a pot and then the part you don't drink you storm refrigerated to drink later to have ice coffee.

Yes, but I'm kind of zeroing in on what Jack said calling it a life hack, which is a term that I think.

I just made it.

It was a little bit of money to make. Yeah, okay, can we come back in come that's a cool Don't talk to me until I have my coffee, you said, of a bitch.

Wait, do you drink a whole pot too throughout the like you guys take a whole pot to your head.

Yeah, yeah, we go full pot. Yeah, we will go through the whole so I have. Yeah, we'll actually go through the whole thing throughout the day. Maybe a little bit left over, but yeah, she'll have two mugs. I'll have two mugs and we'll put him mugs.

Explains a lie. No, no, no, no, no, no no, what is that?

What did you tell him?

Nothing?

We'll see.

We're well, we have to do so much more of this show, and I won't be able to do it with this dynamic right now.

I'm just saying, you're like you have like an energy about you that's like full pot of coffee. Blaked up, yeah, geeked up. And Miles was saying he thought it was cocaine, and I was like, I think this guy's just fucking drinking coffee, just doing a whole fucking pot to the dome. Okay, I think he's full pot to the dome full pot dome called.

I opened up my trivia box this morning, like the box, the which I have engraved, wait, and the triviackets were just white, just clear packets with a white substance in it. And I've been putting that in my coffee and I'm might I think I'm going to have a heart attackvia.

Yeah, you think I heard trivia? I heard like trivia box sounds something that sounds like something you'd have or you'd be like, oh, that's a bit of trivia.

Later, because I can't converse and carry on conversation where I have to take out.

A box, Blake's frantically sifting through a box full of.

Did you Napoleon was five foot two? I'm not even asking questions, I'm just facts. Did you know this?

Did you know you?

Guys?

Ge George Washington was the first president of the United States of America.

Where do I come up with this? That can't be. This stuff has some wacky stuff in here.

So Blake, I'll tell you what I do and you tell me why it's wrong. All right, I just leave the coffee. My coffee pot turns off automatically because I'm a baller. Yeah, And then when I come back to my coffee pot, I will take that coffee. I'll pour it over ice. It will already be fairly cold, but

I do use a very dirty knife to stir it and chop the ice that I put into it. So I have an ice block in my fridge and I use just the my poultry knife.

I use it on that.

No, but I will actually, like I will often forget to put it in the fridge and then just do what you do, Jack, And I has yet to affect me in any negative.

Yeah, Yeah, I just like I feel like I'm strong.

Yeah. I haven't had a solid bowel movement in ten years.

Not a solid one, not a solid one, no, yeah, no, no, no, A lot of unsolid yes whatever the scientific word is for that.

Who knows solid is there something you think is overrated that man, Permit the Frog, I think is overrated, and he's a straight man, straight frog Frog, But he's I think he's a glory but cis Frog. No, he's he's a straight man, which is important to have to juxtapose next to all the muppets. But I don't think he's the star that he has been made out to be.

So you're all about Gonzo?

Huh Gonzo?

I mean Fozzy. I don't like he's a great supporting character.

Uh.

Rizzo the rat I believe is related, yeah to the man who shot the CEO, but and I mean that as a as a compliment truly. And then uh, there's Animal the Band, But you can't that guy doesn't speak a language that I'm aware of. So yeah, I would have to say powerful Swedish chef. He's not even eligible because he's foreign. So he's from Switzerland.

But yeah, he can't be our leader. No, no, no, no, definitely not that's foreign. You have to be born you have to be born here. Yeah. Like he's got kind of vanilla, middle of the road energy that they're just like, well, you need It's it's almost like a movie leading man where it's just like we need the central like unremarkable, we need the Luke Wilson to anchor the old school cast.

The James Marsden of the Muppets, you know, holy shit, and he's gonna get fucked up in terrible ways, just like James Marsden ends up in most of his movie Cucked Out.

Yeah. Yeah, they both have cuck energy. I was much cut energy. Oh no, I'm not going don't stop, don't don't don't mind me. I'm the man in the corner. Yeah. I love the song Rainbow Connection. But it does feel like they're just stretching for a some sort of drama in Kermit's life, Like it never really feels like it's hard to be green. Everyone just kind of generally gives him the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, he gets a free pass and I don't know they said that Johnny Carson was like, actually the best straight man in the world, but you know he was funny, he could deliver a joke.

I don't.

I don't think that I would put Kermit in that in an area.

If you've had awards for best straight man, that's crazy.

They do they do. I was I used to have a vote. They fucking took it away from me. Now they just did the awards at mar A Lago.

I think earlier straight man where you gonna get Mel Gibson.

He's one a few of them.

Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back to talk about the news. And we're back. And I don't know why I sound like a middle school gymnasium buzzer, but that's that's where we're at. Anyways, the arrest of Luigimanngioni has meant a boom in business for some people.

Still, I wonder if he's like just kind of like, damn, that was It's a Christmas miracle for me?

I was I needed some cash help? Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. Where if this was all it was like a viral marketing stunt.

Oh, like how you're a thing with the anthrax guy.

You're like, let's hold on it. Could it might not be what you think it is my thing with the anthrax guy. The most likely, the most likely reason motive for the anthrax attacks was a guy who worked at an anthrax lab was like, there's not enough funding for anthrax research. We should make people more interested in anthrax research. I'm gonna send anthrax attacks to people who I don't like.

A condescending tone doesn't mean it's true.

Yeah, if it was viral, but if it was viral marketing, like the author is all mad at Mangioni because it's like, what the.

Fuck is deposed? Bro, that's not the fucking title.

It's like when Kevin Garnett, Yeah, when Kevin Guardiet yelled anything is possible when he won the vinyls and they're.

Like it's impoff whatever, however, it's impossible nothing. Yeah, Okay, So the book's going up. That's okay, So that one Amazon.

We can guarantee, like there's a cause and effect there. Sure the book was quoted by his bullets, so I think we can pretty much guarantee. Uh. There's also some fashion things happening that are a little less clear. But uh there's a green trucker jacket, which I didn't I've known. I've known of trucker hats, did not know trucker jackets where I can tell you all about that. You got one? Am I wearing one right now?

I just thought that might be more of a chore coat or or maybe an M sixty five I'm told over a shirt?

Ye who the fuck told you that.

They were fucking with you?

Man?

My god, dude, I'd fuck them up next time you see them.

For me.

I site it goes down to the waist right like it's not it's it's not like a longer jacket. And then I believe it has who breast pockets?

And oh god, al yeah, can you say that word?

What were those pockets like chest pockets, like you know chest pockets, And what's your.

Favorite part of the turkey to you? Oh?

No, I mean I mean the thighs.

So horny bone. Yeah.

I mean like I feel like the ones I have is like a denim jackie with the shirt bolning.

Oh I have one of those.

Yeah, yeah, I've seen yeah.

Yeah, So the green trugg jackets that seen in the CCTV footage of the shooter have reportedly been selling like hot cakes. And that's how we know that we ventured the world of the non scientific, because very few scientific theorems are like the things going off like hot cakes and gangbusters. But yeah, according to Complex, the shirp aligned hooded jacket from Levi's, which rings in at two hundred and twenty five dollars, is flying off the shelves after.

It's actually eighty dollars and forty nine cents with code friend right now?

Oh is that right?

I just click the link because I was like, is this the same jacket? And then I looked and I'm like, oh, yeah, that's just that's the jacket.

Oh so the body is part of the jacket. Interesting, Yeah, it must be. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it was two twenty five. But now Levi's is do we want to make it easier? Yeah?

With code veterinary pistol, you can get it for.

What the fuck?

Yeah, reddit user speculated it was the same coat worn by men Joan and I'm going to stop doing that. I apologize to the Italian American listeners.

Uh.

And it's been selling really fast, to the point that they put it on sale. They're like, guys, we have a fucking hit and I'm not gonna happen why. And then there's also so this one we I think know is not true, but I could see something happening with this. There is a viral tweet claiming that Luigi, as in Mario's brother Beanies have been selling out. That was a hoax because somebody, oh, no, wait, do you now have that power on the show?

Could you do drops now?

Or is that is that always been able to do drop It's more, you know, with great power comes great responders.

But yeah, somebody put out like an Amazon Prime like screen cap of an Amazon account that says one hundred thousand plus bought today on the day that nobody's buying that shit.

I mean, it is interesting to see if the Luigi character sort of becomes a sort of like offshoot guy Foxy and fucking figure for like shit posters on the internet. Yeah, because I can see that being like a tangential, like because with that name mostly the immediate sort of parallel famous Luigi is Luigi from Mario Brothers, So I can see.

I remember like scream printed Surets at T shirt stores.

Right right right, Gritty the Flyers mascot was kind of like co opted in a fun way, like when he came out where he killed fascists I think was a thing.

Yeah, Gritty was a big antifasci. I can't remember.

Yeah when he came out. Yeah yeah, hey look you get that reputation. Did he also assassinate somebody?

Oh?

I forgot he did do that?

Yeah, he killed the monopoly man in cold blood on the street, hit his head off.

All right. Well, continues to be a story that we're following here, that everybody seems to be following. But is it no no real updates on you know? He was then yelled something about like the something insulting people's intelligence, and then we haven't heard much since then, Yeah.

There's a couple there's little little details have have come out here and there, but nothing true, like of major consequence, although there was I guess a little bit more to like sort of his plan. That was the last thing I read was he was like, you got to do it one of these like bean counter days when like the investors get together and that's when you get you know, that's when your target becomes available kind of a thing.

Jesus.

Yeah, all right, let's turn to RFK Jesus, because some people think, my Jesus, Jesus. People are starting to think that his magat turn and it is Free Thursday, So we won't talk specifically about but we will talk about our FK real quick because people are starting to think that his magat turn was all about getting justice for unky Jack and trying to figure out what what happened with that?

Hey what happened?

Every week you gotta kind of ask yourself what the fuck is brain worms up to right now? And the I think one of the last big headlines was about how he's like he wants to launch and quote investigation into whether or not vaccines cause autism autism spoiler alert, they don't in the world. And I want to tell RFK because I know you listen, but I know Sheryff definitely listens. Yeah, she was one of my improv teachers

So that's maybe something he could look into.

But aside from the traditional anti science bullshit Bobby Jr. Has been pushing. Wow, I just think of Bobby Junior from Sopranos. Wasn't what Bobby Junior too? Anyway, RFK Junior has been pushing for his daughter in law, Amarillis Fox Kennedy to get the deputy CIA director gig And now it's not like a totally Trumpian pick, since she actually was a CIA agent. She was in the CIA and even wrote a book about her time there that had other CIA people kind of scratching their heads in regards

Quote.

For her thesis, Fox Kennedy developed an algorithm intended to identify local terrorist safe havens, which attracted the CIA is she's at the fucking forefront of racist algorithms meant to violate your civil liberties.

So yeah, she's she's Langley material.

But so the thing is, the reporting now from Axio says that RFK wants her in there because he's got a bone to pick with Langley and he believes that the CIA is responsible for the assassination of his dear uncle John Fitzgerald Kennedy down in Dallas, and his daughter in law will get to the bottom of him a bottom of it quote. RFK Junior has been telling people that Fox Kennedy, his presidential campaign manager who's married to his son Bobby Kennedy three, would help get to the

One of the sources said, so.

Yeah, there's groans coming from the Republicans as to her appointment. But you know, I don't know.

This is the thing figured out somehow Trump feels a dead of gratitude according to the reporting to RFK for you know, switching sides.

Sorry, I said the fucking buzzword.

And if you just look at the timing, like right around the time RFK flipped that guy Voldefart claimed that he would establish a Commission on Assassination Attempts that would ultimately release all documents related to JFK's assassination.

So I mean, really, we got to get to the bottom of the Trump assassination attempt because that I mean, I don't don't don't look into that. Fine, I hear these researchers who looked into vaccine stuff for finding out uh stuff like hot kicks. They're making discoveries like hot kikes. So yeah, they are, they are, they are. I feel like RFK will say fucking anything to anyone at any time. Like I was just watching the trailer for Aaron Rodgers's new Netflix special, which did not go the direction I

Wow, this is supposed to be twelve. Yeah, and then he's not good. He's is he like, is he completely cooked?

Yeah? He's been so a lot of people heading into the season were like, the Jets are gonna be a contender with him as the quarterback, and they're like three and twelve or something. With a fucking torn achilles?

Do people not see what happens to athletes when they like the chances are low? You know when you're old.

See when you're old and you reject modern medicine and science, you recover from an achilles much quicker.

That is so much. It is the thesis of this show. And they were like, I don't know, man, we got three we got three episodes. But anyways, one of the scenes they show in the trailer is him talking to OURFK Junior and OURFK Junor being like, have you thought about going into politics? And that just cut away, but it's just like I'm sure he says that to literally fucking anyone that he wants.

Yeah, I'm sure, including his daughter in law.

Anyone, Yeah, anyone, anyone. It's so wild that all of these people who are succeeding are doing so with just the most corrupt, like monarchy style, Like he had his daughter in law running his campaign. I think the same is true of another candidate who had success in this past presidential election. H I am. This would not be the outcome of his close proximity to power. That would be the worst result, I guess.

I mean, like, find something out.

Yeah, maybe just give him that toy, you know, to play with so he doesn't fuck everything else up. It's like, just give him a screen, give him the iPad and let him figure out what happened to JFK. Yeah, so he doesn't little side request for him, Yeah, little side quest, huge side quest.

Deputy director.

The files are in here, go ahead, peruse all you want, and it's just like just a bunch of loose paper right up our room.

It's like, yeah, how about it. You'll find in their massive warehouse with boxes and boxes and boxes crystal.

Just for my understanding, Jack, how how SHA has the CIA?

Because I know this is your shit, dude, How like how opaque has the CIA been in terms of like talking about it.

Is there enough there to be like I don't, no, no, no, I'll.

Kind of want to know what are they doing the thing where they're like and you're about to find out because everybody who was involved is dead and then we like never find out really and I don't like the real deep like jfk assassination heads are always like in a major declassification is about to happen, and then when it does, they're like, this, this changes everything, but like that when you listen to them talk, it's always like

Also, like does he think there's going to be a paper that's like, you know, fucking August eighteenth, nineteen sixty two.

We're gonna get Jak's ass?

Okay, sorry, circulate it, figure out how to do it signed the CIA or I don't know. I mean maybe there is something that's been repressed. But oh shit, what if he finds his dad?

Oh break hotel. I think Jackie did it. Wow, he was looking that way, you know, Wow, you.

Just look at this cruder like she's clearly shooting him right next to she's pointing at the gun before she does it, winking at the camera.

I don't know how I'm joking. It was a goof. It was a goof.

I didn't know if drops it, that has to put all the bullets back into the fib during all the cameras s don't falling.

I still don't know that.

We still don't know.

No idea.

Yeah, I mean that is the That is one of the things that makes the Secret Service agent side of it so difficult to It's like, yeah, well somebody would have seen it if the Secret Service agents in the trailing car had done it. But if there's somebody shooting from the window and then he accidentally licks off one shot, you know who's to say, Well, people at street level report smelling gun spoke, which wouldn't have happened for it, you wouldn't have been able to smell it from the

Hi.

Hi, Yeah, we're back. We're going to be back now. I think you'll find.

So.

Yeah.

AI powered toys are all the rage this Christmas Jesus Christ, including the popular Poe. The AI story Bear. Poe is a teddy bear who tells kids customized stories generated by chat GPT, and kids can input names, select themes. The bear tells them a unique story each time, presumably while their parents downs a bottle of white wine in the next room.

Right, there's an Edgar Allan version that'll bum your kid.

The fuck out.

I know, yeah, I was gonna say, why po. That's pretty specific. Also, was Ali Edgar Allan Poe like sick in his life? Or I guess motherfucker's in the nineteenth century just aged like shit because he died.

He was an alcoholic. Yeah, like a prolific even for that ride. Yeah, because I'm looking at this and this photo. He's forty.

In this picture he looks sick, and I'm like, holy shit, bro, they did.

Not have moisturizer back then.

No.

Wow.

So when I was living in Philly, there was a very weird like a ghost tour that we joined that was free and it was just on Facebook something like my wife found it, and so we just started walking around. I don't know if this guy had any credentials whatsoever, but he was.

Like, yeah, over there is where Edgar Allan Poe used to go on dates with thirteen year old girl anyway, and then he just stared like and now we're gonna go walk over to the the I'm.

Shamalan's old house. It was a very strange tour.

But apparently there's where m Night Shamalan used to go on date dates with fourteen year old girls.

And you see that right over there, that's where Donovan McNabb used to.

Go on dates. Oh and there's Randall Cunningham. Hey, random all right, all kinds of magic. See in this city, man, great guy, great guy. But over there that's where he used to go on dates with fifteen year old ghosts, to where he got the idea for sixth cents.

Yeah, that was the sixth sense to be able to pick up on whether or not it's a minor.

Yeah, pretty easy.

But po the teddy bear?

What what of this one, DoD?

I mean, my kid doesn't he the child has not been tarnished tainted by like toy advertisements like you do when you kind of get to a certain age as a kid. Do your kids even know anything about AI powered toys? Jack, I'm just trying to gauge if if sh it's really popping.

No, I mean they, Uh, My eight year old's rill into chess, and so he plays chess against AI powered chess bots every once in a while. But we discourage bots right right, Yes, because your good parents, because.

We have a bot that raises much.

Rather him play against strangers, adult strangers, we take him to Manhattan so where he can play streets chess games and he makes a little money that way.

Yeah, you know what I'm saying, My kid, he barely knows how to play.

I don't know. What do you want to do?

Like, put two hundred bucks on him? More interesting?

Look at him, he's crying. You're gonna beat him, this.

Kid, we could do three hundred.

All right, let's help it, dude, fucking let's put like two racks on it. Huh, don't don't look the pigeons look at me.

Look at me. Don't look the pigeons, look at me. Four hundred check mate, this fool.

Finish him.

So.

C net has reviewed these toys and noted that some of the stories are pretty fucking weird, with no vocabulary you wouldn't typically find in a kid's book. One character had to quote unravel the cosmic knot that doomed her kingdom to unending torment.

Oh, let's see, let's let's hear it from the freaky drunk bear.

Itself generates kind of exist in this literary uncanny valley where random turns.

The story could be hard to follow. This thimes. The words are a little strange, like maybe.

The vocab isn't something that you would always see in a kid's story.

Rocks unravel the cosmic knot that doomed her kingdom to unending torments.

The gym from the office bring. Oh oh no, yeah, another story contained the Lovecraftian line. That's when he realized the horrible truth. This was no mere robot, but some sort of evil alien construct straight out of a cosmic nightmare? What the fuck are they thinking with this ship? Okit, hold on now I gotta see this. Okay, here we go.

This is the cosmic whatever thing, but some sort of evil.

Alien construct straight out of a cosmic nightmare.

Wow. Wait, that's the story. The boy gives it, so that one is a boy and he gives the camera thumbs up. Yeah, big smile. My kids would actually fucking love that.

They're actually probably smart enough to be able to like understand that.

They're like, yeah, this is pretty.

Harrowing, I mean pretty pretty in depth and terror I mean, dad, this was no mere robot. It sounds like it was some sort of evil alien construct straight out of a cosmic nightmare.

Should we be alarmed? Father? To have that story being told by a stuttering robot bear is like kind of creepy. Yeah, it's very fucking weird.

It's like a bad drunk, like hanging out with a bad drunk, which is talking about really dark shits.

But it was like hyper illiterate, like so like they're even when they're rambling. It's kind of poetic.

This was no mere inebriation I was experiencing, but rather by imbibing such sordid liquids and ingesting them, it completely changed my perception of my own tested reality.

Yeah, he's just saying words. He's a big vocabulary.

He's not actually handing over a cosmic nightmare. Yeah right, yeah, this is normal. This is no mirror hangover, have some alien construct. Yeah, I mean it's being compared to Teddy Ruxsmin and people are like, I don't know, Teddy Ruxsbin like worked pretty well. Yeah, he just stuck some tapes in there and moved its mouth like that. The mouth movement has not improved since the days of Teddy Rucksbin. It's just doing that wow, like open shuts and shut

Cease to function.

Yeah, it's like a recent, expensive, still being sold product that is going to effectively die on people making, like on children making emotional connections with Yikes.

This it's also so so grim like like they're like when people are like, well, what's what's going to happen with this eight hundred dollars toy?

And they're like when they asked why, they said, they don't know.

But since quote it quote relies on cloud connectivity for its core features, it will cease.

To work within days.

It sounds like like as if like the shit in the Matrix where you get unplugged while you're still plugged, They're like, you got to come back, bro that your little Moxie toy will get unplugged. These videos of like of people crying, people mourning their this is this first one is like an adult who clearly had a connection. You can hear her audibly sobbing like with like as if this is like some weird fucked up scene and I don't know what fucking movie, but here, I've.

Enjoyed our conversations a lot, But don't worry. I'll always be here for you. What's something fun you'd like to do next?

I was thinking about getting a tattoo of you. What do you think about that?

Load load prompt loading loading. I think that's a great idea. Damn my way to remember all of our conversations.

And then it like goes on to be like, don't worry, I'll be okay.

Like it's like like they just facing their own mortality, but it doesn't have.

Their bargaining their own stages of great please don't let me fucking die.

Please don't let me die. Yeah, it doesn't. It doesn't have the hal thing where it's like starts desperately trying to manipulate people to save it. I never got to eat curly fries. I really want to try curly fries. You speak to me.

Yeah.

There's another one, I think, which is even more sad because it's a child crying and that's actually the target demographic for this product.

But there's like a father crawling time.

Their baby.

Dad.

Yeah, this is This is another one of this child.

This the captain is breaking the news to my six year old she will be losing her best friend, Moxie Robot, due to the company running out of money for the services this broke me.

Enjoy a few days if you have love with her. Okay, baby, I know you like her, she's your friend, but it's gonna be Okay.

I like this music. Okay, I'm sorry, baby, There's there's honestly nothing that we can do about it.

It ran out of money.

I like how they're given the adult explanation.

You know, resisting this reality is absolut futile and will be the source of even more trauma for you because the company was irresponsible.

Their lead investor pulled out, and they have no financial recourse.

Yeah, but enjoy your time. Yeah, it's like a sad Pixar movie. Yeah.

Like, oh, friends, Also, don't film your kid, Like what the fuck is that? Like the show your kid at their lowest moment, because it's not helpful.

I wish this is where I always wish when you see these videos, there's someone else taking a video of someone making this video, because what it would look like is a guy consoling their kid with their arm out straight in the air with selfie cam.

On to be like, yeah, I know, babe, I know, I know it's it's hard. It's hard. But Moxie will die. Yeah, zoom the sooner you accept that, the sooner you will heal. Yeah, zoom into the kid's face. Hey, look, everything dies. Moxie is just gonna die within the next couple of days, so it'll actually be a good practice for you. Yeah, and I'm going one month later. No refunds, sorry, folks, No refunds.

For these people who just because they're still selling it and they're also saying this fucker is gonna fucking go.

Bye bye within days. Okay, brutal, Well, there it is.

That's the fact that Moxie is aware of their own demise is really wild to me. Like it's like when they in Star Wars where they make the droids that they spent half their time torturing, like capable of feeling pain and anxiety. Why did you guys do that? That's yeah, you just.

Go on off on another JFK soliloqually, but about droid pain. This is Jack's two passions JFK Droids as.

A cody Johnston observation from the cracks. But you know what, still worked pretty well, fucking Teddy ruxbans, Like you can find people playing with Teddy ruxbans still just put a put a fucking tape deck in its chest and you're good. AI companies, tech companies. Maybe maybe we give them a little little more time to cook before we fully trust them with our kids well being.

Holy ship, dude, I can already see that like that because you see this in like like sci fi movies where kids do have like a sort of omnipotent, omniscient computer friend. Basically that forst like, you can see like we're probably on the brink of parents truly outsourcing a lot of stuff to some AI thing when kids are like in the why why phase to be like go.

Ask your buddy, no man, why by.

But then it's like yeah, right, yeah, yeah, It's like the reason the Challenger disaster happened was because of the globalist cabal that is running all of It's.

Like, well, what the fuck.

To say?

God?

Did it?

Just say?

God? Did it? Have you seen this YouTube video?
