063: Who Is Adam Curry

I like the little twisty knobs. Here, Elmo. And welcome to episode number 63 of Unrelenting. I'm St Patrick's Day, March 17th, 2023. I am Tyrone O'Neill. I'm coming to you live from a bunker deep in the heart of middle America, just outside of Iraq, where the rivers are running. Green, Green. It's green as it should be. It always is. It's always a little green. And I'm glad to see that Chicago still has money for the green. They have no money whatsoever.

Breaking news this past week, and I believe this was something that was mentioned on this show weeks ago. The city of Chicago realized it was probably a really, really, really bad idea to have the taste of Chicago the same week of the NASCAR race. Oh, really? They moved. One. Yes, they moved. Well, you can't move the race, I guess. So They moved the taste of Chicago from July to September. Oh, wow. I was wondering how that was going to be because it always sucks traffic wise.

So if you live downtown, fuck you. But it's always bad during the Taste of Chicago on any of those big events. But then taking that which is always bad and then adding a NASCAR race, which is going to close down like three miles of roads. Right. Well, it's a lot more than that because you got roads, you can't cross over. Right. Well, that's it. And part of it, I think, was Lakeshore Drive, which is going to just be hilarious. Yeah. It's not going to be fun for the people that live down there.

It's like I'm not going anywhere near it. I am looking forward to the whatever game comes out with the NASCAR 2023 schedule to drive around Chicago. You want the impossible carjacking feature to be engaged. With grand theft Auto. You know, it's always bad when in the video games, you know, if you just get wrecked, you know, your day's done. But this is a whole new way. This is a whole new way of getting wrapped. Is that the wheels disappear? Yeah.

A few young children jump on to the track and force you out of the car at gunpoint. Uh huh. Mm hmm. Like, Oh, bummer. But NASCAR, they've got their own controversy this week. And I thought this was interesting because it's all due to podcasting and it's due to social media. Yeah. And everything we have because Denny Hamlin and Ross Chastain two drivers in the NASCAR premier series, have been having their issues over the last year or two where they wreck each other a lot.

Mm hmm. And Denny Hamlin, at the end of this most recent race last weekend, right at the end, ended up taking Ross Chastain out. And NASCAR didn't think anything of it until Denny went on his podcast Tuesday or Wednesday and explained, Yeah, I mean, I knew I drove in way too hard into the corner. I knew my day was done and I was like, I'm taking him with me. Oh my God, that's illegal. Well, this is and this is been interesting to watch, but.

Contrary to the spirit of the sport, you can't do shit like that. Well, this is it. And a lot of the drivers, including Dale Earnhardt Jr, who's one of the biggest voices in NASCAR, and he's also the guy that runs the media company that Denny Hamlin's podcast is released under. Oh, really? Yes. Which. But he was like, they went too far. Drivers have to be able. To aren't to doing podcast. It's all down to being podcast.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Now a podcaster probably will make more money podcasting than forever. Probably. But he did driving and some of the drivers seem to be like, Well, no, the drivers have to be able to be honest. And you know, if NASCAR didn't see a problem with it when it happened, they shouldn't do anything. But I'm going in the other direction. I'm totally going the other direction. You can't be do I mean, look, don't get me wrong, the the audience loves that kind of shit.

That's like death, race, 2000 kind of stuff, right? Yes. And you know what happens? But you can't admit it. No, you can never admit it. No. And the reason for that is totally something that NASCAR and every other sport lately has embraced. And this has nothing to do even with the integrity of the sport, although that comes into it. Mm hmm. It's. It's the opposite of the integrity of the sport, because I'm looking at the gambling market. Oh, yeah.

Because this is where you're going to have them fans suing you because, hey, I bet on Ross Chastain to have a top ten finish. If he got a top ten finish, I was going to make $1,000. But you took him out on the last lap, asshole. Exactly. It's like you can't admit that you broke the rules. Can't. And as soon as you admit that, I think there needs to be an investigation to see who paid you to do it. Kind of.

It's like this is because there's a lot of money, not just your money anymore, not just the other team's money, but a lot of fans money when it comes to. Yeah, no, it's like a boxer meeting. They threw a game. Yeah. You did? Yeah, I just. I wasn't feeling it. And, you know, I figured, fuck it. I'm just going to go down. Yeah, Yeah. And the gambling market has changed everything in sports, and you can't ignore that. You mean in the 1950s? Well, that's true, but now. But now.

I mean, you can bet it almost anything. It's not like a NASCAR races. You're only betting on the winner. It's like you're betting on every damn thing. You mean it's like, oh, is the you know, is the guy gonna come up with any weird stat? You can probably bet on it. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's just very ingrained now into all of the sports, which I think just ruins everything. Well, you'll have to keep us posted on what NASCAR ends up doing.

Yeah, I mean, I said there's an easy way to get around this because I'm listening to all these podcasts, including and Denny Hamlin is like, We do a show, there's two of us. He's not doing a solo podcast. So you could tell the story and you can have your sidekick say, Well, did you take him out intentionally? And you could. Go. Right? You could just say, I can't really speak to that. I mean, you can answer the question where everybody listening knows what the answer is, right?

But NASCAR can still go, No, no, he didn't say, you do that right. You have to have the loophole because I'm with you out of hand. Medical. The minute you admit that you intentionally took somebody out, you have to be penalized. Yep. So just don't admit it. And it's this isn't like, oh, no, the drivers can't be honest with the fans. It's like, no, no, the fans are in on this. It's like we can't tell the boss that we did this.

It's got to be kept on the down low so you can't go out and go, Yeah, I wreck that dude. Yeah, but you're also pinning a target on your own back. Well, this is true. And that was the biggest part. Of other drivers for whom that's now going to be legit. Yeah, this was the funniest part of this because they've been going back and forth.

And to be honest, when you look at what had happened up until that point, Denny Hamlin had gotten the worst of it because Ross Chastain is a little bit more of a aggressive driver. Shall we say. And I thought the greatest thing was Denny Hamlin is like, you know, I've tried. He's like, He knows it's coming. And he is. I think Denny Hamlin is exactly what was he is one tough motherfucker to spin out. Jesus. So it's like, you know, it's I mean, that's how good some of these guys are.

It's like you have another professional driver trying to take you out and you're so good you can prevent that. But the greatest thing was after the race was over, Denny Hamlin and Ross Chastain came into each other's company, and Ross Chastain said, I guess I deserve that. And that he. Would said, yes. And it's like, Well, now it's over. And that's the that's the beautiful thing about the sport policing. So anything over. It's probably not over, but we'll see. Them. Moving forward.

I think this all just made it worse because of the spotlight now on it. Yeah, I mean, he could lose sponsors over this. This is again, he's an idiot. You don't want to admit. Well, it is in today's world. You know, 20 years ago when Dale Earnhardt Senior, I mean, he was a very rough driver. He was more than 20 years ago. Yeah, it's I know it's sad, but in that in that time, that was applauded. This is a whole new world we're living in now. Now corporate sponsors are like, oh.

Wait, did I did I see right that Vegas is also going to have Formula One? I know there's been talk of. Because they said they saw an ad where they shut down, uh, Flamingo Boulevard. I could see that doing of doing a road course race. Right, Right. You know, you're right. Was it Formula One? Whatever it was? I did see that it was actually going to go down part of the strip, which is like. Yeah, what? Well, nobody's going to die. You're going to have a. Drummond. Stumble out into the street.

You think it's bad when there's all the good, he can do this. They do have quite a few overpasses for crossing streets. Yeah. So that's actually not a bad street to have it. Then it'd be a great place to watch too, as the cars are coming in at 100 and whatever miles an hour. Yeah, there's a lot of debris. So probably. Close the overpasses and all the seats. Right? Well, of course, the other day I was just flipping through the channels.

And now that I have the since my parents have Direct TV and now I have the DirecTV app, I can watch any live channel I want. And there was an electric. So it was like F1 open wheel style car, but it was all electric and it was just very weird. One. The sounds are like totally bizarre, which is like,

you know, it's like a power. Tool and a. Weed whacker going and they were monitoring like how many boost cycles Like each driver gets three boost cycles during the race were their cars in attack mode And it's like. What, like machine guns? Yeah, I know but aren't all shouldn't all race cars always be in attack mode? It's like, no, I guess not. You have you have a certain amount because I guess you only got so much power in those batteries that they're able to go, Oh, okay, well, here's

how we're going to make this interesting. Will give me. Can you imagine the car pulling in to charge? I know. Well, it'll the race will continue in 24 hours, everybody. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, they're faster now, but I think they will actually be hilarious to where the race can not be done. And the single battery. Right. Like, it's kind of like the the Indianapolis 500. Great. You got it. You got a pit.

And so the the charging strategy is, you know, charging from 80% to 100 takes way longer than charging 2280. But going from 0 to 20 also takes quite a while. So it's like you got to be strategic when you pit for a charge. That would make sense. I'd watch it. It'd be funny. Well, again, everybody be like, Well, can't we just change the battery, drop a new power cell in? Nope. Yeah, well, Tesla demonstrated that like seven years ago and then never actually did it.

The concept that instead of driving in. Yeah. And for the resident, you know, for their cars, you could buy that. You could just go in and. Swap with a plug in battery. Yeah. You know, you even leave your battery with them and they give you a new battery. Yeah. Kind of like your. But go fill up for your grill with your propane. Yeah. And then imagine the lithium explosions on the racetrack. Boyko of That's the half way. That's the fun part right there. Yeah, that. Great.

What's your favorite driver melt. That should burns really hot. Uh huh. That is literally metal melting. It's an interesting sport. I'll give you that. Or they could do, like, hydrogen powered race cars. You know what you want? It's. It's the humanity. I'm all about the explosion. Of the Hindenburg. It's a whole new. Bring this to auto racing. Yeah. Now, that might make it worthwhile, I think. Bring that down to COTA. You could see the explosions from your house. Mm hmm. Hey, look at that.

Mushroom cloud. Must be a race today. That would be. That would be very interesting. Yeah. What's going on down in Austin, Texas? What's going on, Austin? Uh, Army thing. Well, we I, I found out we had, uh, we're one of the places that they're. They're printing houses, you know. So they're using, like, big ass. 3D printer. 3D printers in there, which I guess your climate maybe would allow for that. Right? Totally. But there's a like 100 and some house neighborhood that just got printed.

It just sounds weird, doesn't it? We were. I mean, I've seen the technology used on Mars, so it makes total sense. But Austin, it's a very weird neighborhood. Either we're not very far apart, but the houses actually look kind of neat. Uh, but the here's the part. They're like, they're 300% more rigid, more sturdy. Uh, they they are hurricane weather survivable, and they are twice as insulating. That's interesting. Because, you know, those are. Things. Yeah. Mm. Yeah, Yeah.

And that's an area where almost all the house builders just go super cheap as they do. Not sufficiently insulate houses. So this is actually kind of neat and they're, they're, the walls are triple glazed so you have an outside wall and then you have the inside wall on. And between those, do you have like an insulation partition. Which is all just built in when the house is printed? Yeah, it's literally different. Three layers basically outside, inside in the middle.

Which unlike here in Iraq, where you go out and you buy insulation, you put it in between the drywall and the wall. And. It seems a little easier. Yeah. And it takes right now they're they're going just over two weeks the house. And now how many square foot? What are we talking here? That's a normal 2000. That's not bad. Yeah. Well, two car garage. No, no. High speed wi fi internet.

Well, I mean that, that printed that whenever you fill it up with the roof still traditional that's on praying the roof. But all these houses in the neighborhood all have solar panels on the roof. Oh, of course. And then here's the best part of, uh, about 5% cheaper than the comparably constructed wood frame house. And it's probably stronger when it comes out to it than a wood frame house. Yeah. 300% off the battery.

Now, that's amazing. 300%. Yeah. It's like you get a house that's reserve grade biodiesel. Which is why, you know, they went from wood to the metal studs and a lot of the things. So this is just a step in the in that direction. Oh, well, America is the only country that builds houses by putting frames up. Literally everybody else is going to create. It's it's crazy. Well, nobody says we're smart here, Jane. Well, it's I don't think it's a smart thing. It's just everywhere else.

One is so much more expensive. We got plenty other. Crazy to build a house out of wood except for Russia, where, like, log cabins are very popular. Right now. How are things going in the motherland? Well, it's interesting you ask. I actually just interviewed another Danny boy. Uh oh. I think. Danny. Danny Armstrong and beat the reporter. What is SBT. Or. Sorry, Uh, Archie. Oh, okay. So Russia Today. Mm hmm. Yeah, it is a, uh, a Brit that lived in Moscow for about a decade.

The takeaway was. Well, it was interesting. I guess you'll have to listen to the podcast to get the takeaway. Oh, I'm 13. Speaks I. But the Cliff notes version. Uh huh. How many kids know what Cliff Notes are? Anybody know about? Is that is that available digitally? Is that a thing? Maybe it should be. Is it written by a I? It will be soon. They will be soon. I was just watching a video. I, I think I'm going to need to do an episode of 13 speaks them.

Yeah there's just so much stuff around the right now. Well rightfully so because it's in literally it seems every little aspect of the digital world and that's what most people live in at this point. Yeah. Yeah. I mean it's. Been. You know, around in one way, shape or form for a while, but it's getting weirder. It's definitely getting getting pervasive. Yes, that's a better word. Mm hmm. Because it. Is everywhere. They want it to do everything. And you realize this is going to be Take it.

I get it. It's going to be taking away jobs, rightfully so. I mean, you can't keep going. I don't. Whatever. It doesn't matter. It's creating just too many development jobs and takes away. So I don't think it's really an issue there. But I think that it's going to get hard to not have a product that uses A. Because for what it can do, it is beneficial. I can't deny that.

You know, if you have, you know, something that you're looking at, even the simple app to just search for a file on your machine. Mm hmm. If you don't have to be super specific, this is. That was the most annoying thing to me, which is, you know, you're using a regular expression, or maybe you can get away using just a wild card, you know, when you're searching for something. Well, regular expressions for people that don't do them daily can be a real pain in the ass.

Yeah. To try to figure out, you're like, okay, well, what what's the best way for me to tell this machine what I'm looking for? If you could make this just by typing in a description of what you want. Yeah, that's pretty cool. It is amazing. I just did a test. Well, I wasn't at a test. I was actually looking up information, but I was talking on the phone, I believe. Uh, and the question came up of, Have there ever been a US president who was elected then not elected and then elected again?

They've had two terms with a gap in the middle. There has been a few. Well, and that's why I thought I was like, wait a minute, Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt go through them. So I literally just typed out what I said. Has there ever been a president that has to term center with a gap and the the Nivea search engine, which is currently the best one for, as I'm learning right now out there in. Which one is it. Nivea. Oh, the an EVA is it. Yeah. Yeah, it's pronounced Nivea.

The Russian search engine, the. Mm hmm. So that provides the most accurate results. Like if you type in Ukraine, talked about the the war of aggression. It'll just keep going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyway, so that search engine, it came up. So the if there was only one president that filled that role and it was McKinley and I thought, well that's fascinating because I, I mean, you could figure it out manually by looking at all the presidents on Wikipedia and they, they were in office.

But I do it manually. We can use that question. Exactly. And it's going to be quicker, more accurate. Yeah. Yeah. The Nivea, they've got tuned for accuracy in that for smart ass results. So that's good. Yeah that's what you want is accuracy and not just fun. Bing, I have selected to find the best result is it have three settings. You can set it on strict moderate and yeah, you really ask for it. Right? Look, you really want these answers. That's the setting I put it on.

This is a yeah, it's more fun to get the search engine that that gives you. Interesting results. You're turning your. Search engine into an AI that doesn't like. You and boy this and I'm not like I. I don't know if you've noticed that. Well, it's common. When you're coming from the side of being a content creator, which Adam is, even though I think he hates that term as well. Well, and you have more hours per week and a video sort of way.

You know, the reality is that this is going to be very invasive. Mm hmm. In that area. What's more simple than that? What's more simple? I used I used it before, but I have access to the full hour by Susanna McCurry and some and I'm a copy of that result. What was the result? And then we had a a text message conversation for about 8 hours nonstop. And then pretty much. What's it all what's it all you sending something and getting fucking Gene back?

It pretty. Much. It's. Essentially it says side. By side so he can be used in the air for that. I'm I'm, I'm saying look you're not going to get a better result of who's Adam if you're introduced at some event you've got to speak at some theoretical event. Is that basically the level of response that you're getting from the search engines? What somebody who paid an intern to look up some factoids would give?

And, you know, one thing that Adam and I know I'm referencing private textbooks just, oh, he doesn't care. This could be. I don't think they'll care. You know, I would I would normally say that there was no way he would listen to this show to find out. He does not listen to the show. I guarantee that. Well, I already just as a possible show title. Uh huh. I already have typed in who is Adam Curry. So it might get that might just be is interest a little mite.

Exactly. But, uh, but so you write back to me the thing. The thing says I was connected to Patty. I think I invented the goddamn part. Yes, but. But I'm like, Well, I can't. Can that Can't argue that, right? I can't argue that. I mean, it's you're both right, but it it would be better if the I gave you additional credit, which I always do. I always introduce Adam when I'm talking about him as the man and then podcasting.

And he's generally a lot more modest with that as a co-creator, you know, like, yeah, whatever. The other guy's a Democrat. I give a shit about him. Well, he had the idea other helped implement, but he had the idea and the ideas are very important that he did. Way more implementing them. He thinks group work. Yes. No, I mean, really, like he was programing on a daily basis back then. So he'll call it a kluge if you ask him.

But it doesn't matter is if you're using applescript, you're still programing. To using anything. Yes. I mean that's yeah. It's pretty. Basic. I mean, come on. That when we all started with basic basically. Uh huh. Well, if you're old enough, I don't think the kids today even know what basic is. You know, I just saw basic Google's free programing platform.

Really basic. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. So you learn basic shockingly, that should survive where Pascal, which is a much better language I think is gone by the way that. There are there have been a few there have been a few but you can write Zork and basic. I mean, come on. Uh, I don't know about that. That'd be a hell of a long program. Of course it would be. Yeah. Come on. We come from a time. We're. Old enough. Yeah. That we had computers back in the day.

I mean, they're not what people think of today. We had some very simplistic computers back. I mean, the Commodore 64. The. Trash 80 color computer, which I had, and there were magazines that came out with, Oh, yeah, the text of programs that you had to type in and however many thousands of lines. I and I remember the the new cool thing that was like crazy was they started introducing barcodes that you could scan in and then you'd get programs like the, the source code was um, barcode.

Interesting that I didn't know. Yeah. This I'm, I want to seem like any 45 now. If we only had air then. Yeah, right. Well we saw a precursor of what it's going to be like back in about 15 years later by watching a movie called 21 Space Odyssey. Yes. Hal opened the pod bay doors. Hal and I remember having house voice on my computer, and I thought that was cool. Now, the first A.I., which wasn't in A.I. at all, but a lot of people will remember Eliza, which was. Yeah, Oh, yeah,

you can. You can have a conversation with your machine that's like, No, you couldn't. It's it is very similar to what we have the AI right now. Is that more. Rudimentary? But in a lot of ways it was an expert system that was what Eliza was. It was. And that was one of the product. The product, one of the projects that you would have in computer science class back in the 90 with the right there.

Why that is back when they had an expectation that students would actually know how to write an entire program, not just the object or somebody's program. It was the same world. MM But getting back to A.I..

Yeah. It's going to be pervasive because when it comes to podcasting, when it comes to whether you call it podcasting, the audio only or you cross over into the YouTube video realm rumble the ability to produce the content that people are producing now organically, you and I are actually two meat bags that are sitting around talking to each other. Sooner or later you will. I'm just amazed I talking to you. But I don't know. I don't think you are quite that involved yet. But you're getting there.

And either you can't tell them different. The video, same thing. You don't even this is where I can understand why anybody that is making content, the only thing you have to hope because the systems are going to be able to create excellent audio, excellent video where people won't be able to tell whether it's an actual human life form or a computer generated one, nor care.

This is true, but the only thing that's going to separate them will be the content, the creativity, the entertainment value of what's coming out. And the question will be will the A.I. be able to match what people can do? Because if they can, if the aim doesn't. Even matter, because the A.I. will match what people want much better than humans. Which means humans. As far as being content creators, we are at the end of our career. Yeah. Pretty much. Pretty much. I totally agree with that.

So a couple of more points about the AI. One is like a CSP show. A.I. Cooking. I thought was cooking that I know. It's A.I. cooking, which makes it even funnier because it's a cooking domain. Uh, it's funny. I thought it was the air domain. I guess that one costs more. Probably for me. Probably because they're like, I. Think it's the 79 bucks. Yeah, I think it's a yearly fee. Is 79 bucks the domain, which is like, Whoa, I'm not paying that just for fun. Right? Just to have that extension.

I got my Libya domain back. That's all I care about. Nice the most expensive domain I think I keep renewing is for a friend that has a restaurant in the Chicago area called Katie's Kitchen. And there is a dot kitchen domain. So it's like that's a hell of a domain. Most people still have no idea. You can't put it in your ads because people are like, I don't understand what Katie's kitchen means. Yeah, Do you mean like that AOL right there? If people are confused, they don't realize that.

Yeah, I think maybe if you put http in front of it and then you may as well just put the old fashioned dot com domain in there. Do you really. That com is still the best domain. Yeah. People still just get that without like, Oh okay. That's, that's, it's an internet thingy. Yeah. Well I've been feeding him stories from that. I've run across what's. Nice to you and see SB have made up that warms my heart to be. Made up But. You guys are friends now. We've always been from.

You're going to do the anti-Russia protests. We get in a bit for like a year and I can't believe you fell for it. Or the Russian apologist gene. Yeah, exactly. Do not listen to him. So I was writing half that content right now. Yeah. See, I wouldn't be surprised if CSB was a highly tuned. I if it was highly tuned, it would speak better. No, that would be exactly why. You. Don't want that, because otherwise you have to add in.

And this is going to be, I think, one of the challenges of the air is that in order to make it sound organic and for humans to be completely comfortable with it, I think the air is are going to have to, when it comes to audio content, have to put in the arms every now and then. It's going to have to put synthetic breaths in. There's a lot of things that will be added just to make it seem more human.

So you need those little it needs to stumble over a word now and then it's going to be something similar. Looking. Yeah, right. Because humans are not 100%. Accurate, like the voice of Dave in 2001. I think that's a good they were very calming. Yeah, but I think that's a good strategy for the air on a ship that's supposed to be on a mission for nine months. Or whatever I would prefer. What's your name for most? Star Trek A Barrett. Magill. Barrett. Yes. Magill. Barrett. Thank you.

That I think is the ultimate in all computerized voices for obvious runs. Various. Right. Roddenberry's wife. It's right. There. You showed how good your air is. It stumbled over the word right after we talked about it. Roddenberry. Roddenberry. But yeah, they started that whole that whole thing with, oh, computer can talk. And I thought that that was fairly well done. But even better than that, in the original Star Trek, which Galaxy Quest. And Pfeiffer's mentioning its HAL 9000.

Dave was the other guy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Very good thing I'm like, running on fumes here. So he's absolutely correct. Somebody get Gene some caffeine stat. Yeah. You know, I forgot to grab my g. I see that. Okay. But then. There's your problem. That we just put the show on pause for, like 5 minutes for me to go get. The except. You probably want to go right back to sleep after the show so that you might. I might. That's true. Keep me busy with that. But in Galaxy Quest, the character that, uh.

Oh, God, what's her name? The the chick that was in Aliens. Sigourney Weaver? Yeah, the Sigourney Weaver character. Uh, her her job, quote unquote, on that show was to just repeat whatever the computer says. The rest of the crew was hilarious. Have you not seen that? I don't believe so. Yeah. Oh, dude, put that on your list, because that's that's one of those classic movies. Uh, the I, I'm pretty sure everybody in chat has seen it except for you. But the basic plot is, uh, it's.

It starts off with the very Star Trek like TV show, and there's a convention, and you're seeing kind of like what happens to the movie stars. And they're not movie stars, but the actors from a sci fi TV show after it's off the air and then basically, you know, dressing up in your crappy old costumes to show up to a convention, to sign pictures of your face. Sounds about right. And it's you know, it sounds fairly depressing, which it seems to be.

And and Tim Allen plays the main character, which is a great parody of William Shatner. Lee does a very good job about it. But Weaver is like the counselor Troy character right in that show or that tape. And so essentially what her scripts are, when they when the in the movie show was being shot was to just repeat whatever the computer said, like your computer say function, we are approaching the bloody blond nebula.

And her line immediately after the computer says, that was like, we're approaching the nebula. We should probably take that. I. It was it was ridiculous. And she actually makes a point of saying how ridiculous it is at one point in the movie. But that's a boy image. That's a over 20 year old movie at this point. I believe it. Maybe 30. Maybe. Yeah, maybe like 30 years old. Maybe it isn't as good as Spaceballs. It's I think it's better really? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Spaceballs is.

If you like Three Stooges, you'd like Spaceballs. It's a little to like. You got to be puffing on a little weed. Do laugh. Because all, you know, most entertainment today is like that. It seems. If if today that is the case, I think the the more intellectual entertainment, more intellectual comedy specifically is absolutely gone. Everything is being remade. There are zero brand new ideas in Hollywood. Right. And the remake are typically way less funny in the way lower IQ targeting.

Yes. It's very much the way that it was predicted in that the documentary movie, uh, that I'm blanking out on. It was. That good old documentary, you know. What was it call it? It was it was like stupid accuracy or whatever. Well, Idiocracy. Idiocracy, that's on the air. But you're right. Yeah, you're right. Because I've been trying to watch and I have watched. I mean, okay, so I made it through. But how I Met Your Father, which is the spinoff of How I Met Your Mother, which was a good show.

How I met your mother was good. Yeah, it was good. For the most part. It got a little long in the tooth. It did, but it was an otherwise. It was a quirky show. It was definitely Britney Spears. Britney Spears. She was on How I Met Your Mother. Yeah. Oh, you're right. You're right. And she was insane, which she was. Great. She was awesome. She was accurate. Total little girl next door looking. Yeah. The How I met your father. Horrible. Horrible. And the reason being how I met your mother.

I can only imagine the Hollywood meetings when they're like, We want to reboot this. Let's go the other direction. Let's go. How? I met your father. Yeah. And they looked at the. Love that. You know, the original cast. And even though they had the Barney Stinson character played by Neil Patrick Harris, he was a big guy. He played a very, very straight. Awesome, straight. Guy. He was hilarious. Best of that show.

I think as far as the overall the characters that were with it from beginning to end, he stole that show, no question about it. He did a great job. And I've always been a big Alyson Hannigan fan. So yeah, she's fun too. That's one of the best reasons just to watch. Is she still when the Penn and Teller show? Yeah. So in a little way, Oh, boy, she liked I love the character on that show they made for her. She is completely like naughty or dirty or whatever you want to like.

But at least the one I always try to get strip away. Yeah, but she's like, always the one trying to go for the double entendre or to, you know, get her husband into bed or something. It's that was a great character for her. You have nothing like that at all. In the How I Met Your Father remake. Yeah. And here's the thing. I'm like when they went in and said, okay, how are we going to reboot this?

I know there was a meeting where they looked at the characters that first and went straight white guy, straight white guy, straight white guy, straight white girl, straight white girl. Can't have that. Now. So now there's like a Asian girl that's gay. There is a black girl that's promiscuous there, you know? Yeah. And there's a British guy. And for no apparent reason, then there's an Indian guy there.

This is literally like a bunch of people that would never fucking talk to each other in real life. And you can't make fun of any of them, right? It's been allowed. Because it's hateful that. It's okay. So you got a comedy made up of characters that you can't left, but huh. Well, it's like this is not how people overall. I mean, you could probably find some examples, but the reality is most straight folk probably hang out with straight folk.

You know, the people that use the term folk referring to straight people are gay people. Well, there you go. We're in the Midwest here. We say, folks a lot. Bill O'Reilly always says looking out for the folks. Well, there's a difference in folk and folk. But this concept that totally diverse people, when it comes to ethnicities. Lifestyles, literally we. Interact on a daily basis. That's not the way the world works. No, They're.

Trying to force this into a comedy like, oh, we have everybody represented. It's going well. It already is, but it's more than that being pragmatic. But I'm the one in this same topic. The thing that I ran into that I couldn't believe they're remaining at this point is I started the thing in movie that has that fat chick from Australia in it. That fat chick? Yeah, it's real. Yeah. It wasn't like Rebel Wilson. Rebel, That's the one.

Yes. Well, yeah, Well, how many fat chicks from Australia are there? Probably a lot. I don't know. I think there most of them look like Xena. This one doesn't. Like weight this year. One of these is not like the other. She was a genetic abnormality. Yeah. So. And again, like, she's probably good at her style of humor, which is that sort of chief brain, you know Larry or no, just playing Moe but Curly. The remaking of the three Stooges is done. And then? And then. What do you.

Mean? Don't get excited. Don't get that. My point is, most of the movie she's in is very physical comedy. Do you like, don't get excited. Is this something you've been hoping for? A female three No, clearly. You have is you're getting excited about it. No, but the movie they're remaking that she's them is Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, which was an absolute masterpiece that cannot be remade there. They flip the air. Steve Martin and the British guy. That British guy.

Michael Caine, and wonderful, wonderful actor. They're remaking it with two women instead of one man. So Rebel Wilson plays the Steve the what's the character? Michael Caine. No. Steve Martin. Yeah. MARTIN Shit. So she plays the sort of bumbling idiot for and, uh, the I'm horrible with names. Well, I haven't slept the whole lot. The Catwoman check is playing. Hayley, Mary. Michael No more newer. Catwoman new. Well, the the she was also in I mean, she was in a bunch of movies.

I mean I only when I hear Catwoman I still, I can not see anybody but Julie Newmar. That is. Really. Yeah. You don't, you don't see Kim Basinger. No. I don't even remember. You know, you figure as Catwoman the. The original 1981. Yeah. I don't remember that. I don't. Yeah. I mean I can see where she could pull that off. Kim Basinger in the eighties. Was. Pretty okay. She had a hard bad. I mean I wouldn't have the phrase you. Don't hear a whole lot anymore.

Hard, bad. Well, because now it's now it's hateful. Jean, how dare you talk about somebody? Look. Mm. How dare you comment upon their physique? Yeah. Michelle Pfeiffer. Is that who we're thinking of? Oh, that's. Okay. Of course. Phifer knows Michelle Pfeiffer. Thanks, Pfeiffer. Nice. Nice. Yeah. Her. That's right. But they, you know, they were both pretty good looking back in the. They, uh. What was I. Oh, I was trying to remember the other check that the other actresses name, though.

She's the one with the big eyes. She was in the most recent Catwoman. She's the, uh. She was then. I mean, she wasn't Girlboss or whatever. She was a major movie figure. Yeah, big eyed girl. She was act Disney chick. I'm pretty sure. I don't know. What is her name? Um. Welcome to help Jean. Remember? Yeah, I'm picturing in her face, and she's very attractive, But she is. But I can not frickin. Remember her name. Yeah, I saw it the other day.

There was another, like, big spread that just popped up on the girl you sat next to on the plane, and. Oh, my God. Oh, Could have had this. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, She was very nice. I enjoyed that. But, uh, I can't remember her name either, though. Mostly on the hills or something. Yeah. Yeah. So, Kristin Cavallari. Jay Cutler. Wife. Ex-wife. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. One. She's had a bear. She could have gone for another bear with Eugene. Yeah, well. Different kind.

Of should have with it. There. Chicago Bears. And there are Austin Bears. A little different. Little different. Uh huh, Yeah. Just said there's. There's a bunch of names being thrown out in the troll room. I have no idea if these are anywhere near accurate. Read them. Sophia marlowe. Britt Robertson. Leigh Reed. No. I don't know. No She's a film actress, Dark hair, big eyes. Probably started playing women instead of girls about ten years ago. Uh, what else was she?

And, oh, she was in that movie about the French Revolution. Anne Hathaway. Yes, Hathaway. Yes. Thank. I have no name. Big eyes. Am I right about big? Yeah, I guess. Big eyed girl. She's. That's her thing, her trademark thing. Anyway, so she's playing the other character. She's playing the, uh. Oh, my God. I can't. I just literally forgot the name. I just said 5 minutes ago. Michael Caine. She's playing Michael Caine. I think we might just have to call this show Sleep deprivation.

Although it's not like who is Adam Curry better than him. Well, if you'd like him to listen in a little bit, I'm sure somebody will tell him the cinema, TimeCode, because that's, you know, much easier for him to. Or right now he's getting ready for his podcasting 2.0 show which will be on and he's got you on in the background and he's like, this asshole should just. Show up. Already texted me so I know he's getting ready for some stuff. See, but this is not about the Northwest.

We got a little off the air. Oh, yeah, Yeah. So we're talking about air and yeah, so I've been testing a bunch of different air product for a variety of reasons, and I find that the price point for most of them is around between 20 and $40 a month. Yes. It doesn't really matter what it does. Could do something very small or it could like fully out of me production of a whole movie. It's about the same price.

But there is one that I wanted to highlight is it's probably the most useful air product out there right now. And this is something I was sort of blown away that somebody came up with a practical use for it. And I should probably while I'm talking also look up the name of the company. Which would be helpful. But what does it do? What is the premise? So, yeah, well, let me start with the what is it? Do a bit. And what it does is it does deep breath. Let me video What kind of deepfakes Video.

Video, video Deepfake. But here's a twist. It's actually useful rather than just kind of oh, this is kind of neat. If what's cool about it is that it lets you do the equivalent of both email with video. What do you mean by that? So instead of doing a training video for your customer or potential customers, even doing a sales video, the videos include their names and relevant bits of unique information. So it personalizes the video.

It's a completely yeah, it's a video that you record once and then it uses deepfake like technology. I'm sure that is a more technical and better name for it, right? But whatever it is, it uses that same contact to actually create thousands of versions of the video using both voice and video and the visual part of it to look like you just recorded a one off individual video to send to your customer prospect support.

Whatever. Yeah. So instead of getting like an email from tech support, that's clearly a copy based of have you tried turning it on and off again? Instead, you'll see a video of a a reasonably attractive person of whatever sect is appropriate that says, Hey John, I understand you're having some problems with that. I'm here to help you. And the first thing I'd like to do is turn it off. And then you know what that does, though? And it looks totally real.

What is intriguing about this is there's a whole large market, and I don't remember what these services are called, but there are a bunch of celebs and pseudo celebs that will send videos to people for money. Exactly. So this would be very easy. I know the guy that played Kevin on The Office is making bank on these things. I see him on an interview. Well, now if he could just do one, you know, set this up once, it might take him a day to set this up.

But then any time somebody comes in and it's like the message automatically says, Hi, I'm from the office, this is for whoever. And then it's like, if it's your birthday, it says, Well, happy whatever birthday. If this is your anniversary, it's happy anniversary. That's freakin genius. Mm hmm. That is genius. That that is what it is. An image of high quality. I mean, it's not just done, but it looks very good.

Now, if you know exactly what to look for and when, like, if you read the script, basically, and, you know, at which point it's going to insert things, yes, you can kind of see, okay, there it is. There's there's where they actually do something. But if you don't look for that, if you don't know that, it's like there's a little bit of video that are clearly AI generated. Good luck. What exactly. Is this?

The ability for you, Jean, to take a video of yourself or is this all a created person so you could do that? No, no. It is literally meant for you to take a video of yourself for mass distribution purposes of one on one interactive. Camera and then the parts that are going to be redone by are you probably just do a filter, you know, filler word like name here, like you would in a text. Document, a form letter. Yeah. So the company is called You love that Name of God Be Human. I that's awesome.

And it's the letter B, the word human that a I It is. It is really cool. And not just because of the tech. We've seen tons of cool tech examples. This is one of the first practical moneymaking AI products I've ever seen. This is bizarre stuff. I pulled. It up. Can you imagine only fans with this technology? Well that this is like the and it's cameo. Thanks for the name Phifer. Mm hmm. Yeah. The company that has all the the second and third tier actors on it. Yes, but you're right.

For the only fans, like you can make a video and you've got your list of everybody. What do they want to be called? Every video now that shows up. Is this like when somebody watching a video like the only fans, they have no clue whether it's actually live or whether it's not live unless they pay money to interact with you. Yeah. Or otherwise. Imagine recording something now. Yeah, that is prerecorded but can still interact with you.

Well, I want to know how many people are scamming people even on sites like Onlyfans. I don't know how much they go into whether the feature you can. Well, it's scamming even if they're literally they're probably. But I'm just wondering. If. Somebody has already taken somebody else's image and using other deepfake technology is posting videos as somebody else who they're just taking their face and popping it on to.

Well, I've seen quite a few videos lately of three people playing video games or playing board games, and that would be Trump, Obama and Biden. Video game together. And. Together. That's all that. Ball games, video games. And then they get Elon Musk as the Dungeon Master, which was hilarious. And one of them they had. So actually before they had Elon Musk of Dungeon Master, they have Ben SHAPIRO. Get up really, really fast for that Dungeon Master.

Yeah, People like to exaggerate how fast you talk to the start, to the normal speed. Just slightly faster. The thermal hundred and 50% thermal speed. Right. Normal speed for you in your world for listing. But this is very interesting stuff. It is cool stuff. And it like if you watch their example on Be Human of Political Ads, it's like, oh, this is exactly the shit we're going to see next election. In way, way, way. No agenda.

Millennial says he's running a fake dairy now only fans account cleared five G's last month. I need to get on Onlyfans. Nice. Nice. Yeah. Why? Why would you want to compete with that? Clearly he has the better product. Obviously. Obviously, if you're going to get on, you'll have to come on. There's somebody else's name, right? I'll go. But not as you. You already have your own. No. I mean, I would think you would. You might for active female who's not on onlyfans.

I just know there are people. Claiming that to watch me. But there's so many people that just post normal stuff to whatever website that it's bright. I just open my eyeballs. Holy cow. Spread. Yeah. It's also morning. Daytime. This is what's going on. Thank you for showing up to the show. How you do it? Sorry, I just woke up. Sorry. This is. You know, the thing. I could do half the show with my eyes closed. Because the legalities of this stuff are questionable.

And I don't know how this is going to move forward. There was a story that I covered at random thoughts this week, which was some high schoolers made a deepfake video using the image of the middle school principal. And there was, you know, they had to say racist, horrible things. And the police were, of course, involved with this, called it. And the police are like, there's no laws broken here. No, no. You're there's nothing illegal doing that way.

Which moving forward, this is going to make for. Noncommercial. Now, commercially, there's some issues there, but this using somebody is like them without their permission. Commercially, that would be the lawsuit. But here's the thing. What does that really mean? They're like this because if you played around with any of this deepfake stuff. You'll know that when somebody says this is Joe Biden. Well, right.

Right But okay, so you're like, hey, I want to create a fake ONLYFANS and I'm going to create this female character and I'm going to take the photo of somebody I find online who is not, you know, an influencer, not on onlyfans, you know, not an actress. And I'm going to take that and use her image. I mean, maybe it's. You do that a. Little bit, but what is that image? Because I saw a article on a female that is making money at Onlyfans now because she kind of looks like Megan Fox.

And I looked at her like nobody would ever be. This is not like wow, you're like 99.99%. They're like, You would fool me. No. Yeah. She looks very similar to Megan Fox, and she's making a lot of money because people are like, oh, you know, they want to see Megan Fox do these dirty things and she's not damn her. So we find the next best thing. But here's my question then, so I can just take a really hot check and just edit the way she looks enough.

What is enough to make that different to where that's not that person's image anymore? What you know, how is this going to even come down? Because you're right, there is a thing with using these likeness. But the the the laws around that and by the way, we're not providing legal advice here, but the laws that are around, well, what would a reasonable person perceive when they perceive those to be the same person or not?

So if it's changed enough to where you're like, well, no, that maybe looks like her second cousin, then you're fine, you know? Yeah, but. All of it is moot anyway because you don't need a real person's picture. Well, this is true to get in. They I generated what, an existing person's image. Okay, but here's the question for you, because this has been around for a long time. What's the website? Is this person human? There's something like that. Or this person or not?

You're thinking of hot or not? No, no. That was going way back. There's a site where every time you refresh, it generates a a I totally. Now the question is, are you telling me that a creation has never looked exactly like a real person? Yeah. Yeah. Generally they're too perfect. They're too symmetric. Which is the. Yeah, that is one of the issues.

But it's like, what if you come up with a doppelganger and it's like, I go, so I go to some air company and I'm like, Hey, I want to create a hot chick to use as an onlyfans bottle and fool all these mouth those who want to pay money. Yeah. And I create this image and I start using this and there's some woman in Australia who's not the fat woman in Australia. She's an actual hot blond in Australia, which there seems to be plenty of that goes, Wait, that's my face. Yeah. Then what.

Well then she, she would have to. And I'd be like, but the air company came up with this image. Yeah. Not me. And then, then you know. The air company. Potentially. Potentially. But this is the intriguing part when it comes to this deepfake stuff, especially because most laws that were written have no clue that this technology was going to exist.

And I think the people today, they have no idea how to deal with this kind of technology, which is like if you're going to go, hey, it's illegal for you to take somebody else's face and put them on to another video, it's like, well, one, you have to prove that it was done. Well, yeah. I mean, it's certainly in the United States, and I think it's safe to say in Europe that's the case there, that if you use somebody's likeness for commercial purposes. What if it turns out. To have a purpose?

Oh, then you're fine. You know, then there's absolutely nothing that can be done. And that was a commercial did just start a Instagram account or whatever like that in both YouTube account and post videos. Is that a commercial purpose? Because you could start making money on those things? Well, that would turn a commercial, wouldn't it? I guess so. You have to just make sure it's a demonetized. Video you're doing it for for lolz. Then you're fine. Completely Illegal. It is interesting.

Again, we don't provide legal advice, but yeah, it should be. And it's just well, it's interesting because again, you cannot now believe anything you see online. I mean, you're showing us this be human site. There are other sites that are out there that I've played around with. That so many sites that I mean, I've probably cataloged about 160 so far. Really. And now the quality and some are better than others. Mm hmm. Yeah. Some have given results that I was surprised with.

You know, even on the little free trial bits that they offer. Yeah. And the fact that there was one forget the name where you could upload photos or you could upload video like 1530 seconds worth of video and it would swap the face. Now, again, if the face is way off. No, but if you have a good quality video, you know. Who's got it. This is this is how pervasive AI is right now. That's why I mean, a absurd about it is gab the not at all not the chance they have their own an engine now. Really.

For for yeah it basically creates an OnDemand video for you based on text description. That's wild. Mm hmm. Yeah. I mean, this is how, like, everybody's getting the AI running right now. Like, everybody literally watch again. Don't believe anything you see. Ever read or hear? Well, definitely. You can't believe what you read.

You hear There's always been people like, you know, rich little there, but there have always been people that are able to change their voice that can do a pretty passable impression of a lot of different people. Yeah, let's just name more examples of people that no one under 40 knows who the hell they are. Here we go. Frank Caliendo, Is he the current one? Is there somebody even newer now? Does anybody even do impressions? Because you could just push a button right here to. Push a button.

There's your impression right now I've got software. I've got a software that'll do real time voice translation to a different person. You use it when you're on your Onlyfans account. I'm using it right now. Dede's real voice, as. Everybody is exactly right. You'd be surprised if you meet him in person. You'll be like, That sounds nothing like you do online. And when I stop talking, you know, it's because I ran out of credit for this month, right? Right. It's like they.

All have credit systems, which sucks because it's never enough. It's like, Oh, you've done 70,000 words. I'm like, What? You haven't. Please enter your credit card. Oh, I. Was counting words. Yeah. For the words that that is. Are you using pseudo. Right. Because I was looking at pseudo right which is one of these. Other and. That's the pseudo right's more for creative writing. I know there's jasso. Oh yeah. There's something for. Yeah. For business.

Well there, there is one product that I found that is for fiction writing that'll do air generated fiction. There's another one that is a for nonfiction book writing. Yes. And then there's another one that is for business contract. I created a legal document. For the creative writing one. That's what I was looking at because I've dabbled. And the pseudo write was, you know, for the get you're absolutely right, 20 bucks a month you get, I think it's 90,000 spit out words.

Now, this is the intriguing thing, which is one of the reasons I haven't pulled the trigger on it, which is you don't have to. Use. Those words to be charged for them, meaning write one. It's absolutely fantastic. What it can do, which is you are writing your book, you're writing your story, it's in there, you know, little image you're in there, program on the line and the little editing thing. And it also has add ons for Google, if you want to use that, or Microsoft, all that kind of thing.

But if you're stuck at any point in time, you just take your cursor, you put it where the next word should go and press the button, like, Give me an idea of what you would do. Hmm. And it spits out like three different options of what it wants to. Yeah. Yeah. And it charges you for three times the word usage during that. Yeah. That's how you in the running out of words. What I was surprised at though was that it was really good at times. It was really good.

Although my question would be how do you know they're not lifting this specifically from somebody else's writing? You really don't know. So you have to have some kind of way to make sure you're not plagiarizing somebody because the last thing you want to do is like write a book. Oh, there's an air for a course. There it look, we will read what you wrote and then confirm or deny that it's been pulled out of somewhere else.

And it was interesting, there was also a beta feature on pseudo right and you could use was up to like 10,000 words. You could kind of put a chapter's worth of information into there and you could press a button and it would generate was three or five different air people that would read it and give you their impressions of the story, which was the key. IT Yes. And it was fairly. I mean, I guess that makes sense.

You know, things like, well, I like this, you know, I'd like the relationship between them. The dialog was good, but I'd like to know a little more about this. It's like in every now and then, you know, it was not a home run, but it was a enough good day that where it was like, this is very weird and concerning because not only will I be writing our stories, it will be reading it and it will be reviewing them. DO Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Doing a fairly. Well.

Amazon reviews then they're going to become completely meaningless. Well, they already are more so. But again, just because you can't. Believe. What. You're they're going to start they're going to start talking about your first crashing and. What people believe. There's really no and now you we just see video is going to be very easy to create for this. Newbie to Breezy. But here's the thing. It's like why bother waking up. With your sleeping map? And I'm kind of tempted by the tricks.

Yeah, because there are so many asking about this topic. Which way if we're talking about it and oh, I know who was it was Tim Cliff. They were talking about Tim. Tim Hot tub guy. Yeah, the hot type of guy that does his show from inside the Capitol with a bunch of members of Congress that yeah. Wow. Now he should. Be in jail. Mm hmm. Yeah, he's invited. Oh, Buzz, that difference. I thought this was a Yeah, So they get, you know.

This. They're drowning away in the handcuffs as he's trying to show the invitation. But, yeah, so what they were talking about, which is I know probably most of us have experienced with dreams is time dilation is being able to be in a created realm at a different speed of time than the one your body's. And what do you mean, an interview? The idea you've got to have experienced this like when you dream, right?

You're you're typically dreaming for somewhere between five and 20 minutes when you dream. But the length of your experience in the dream. Right? It's been hours like. These four years, right? Yeah. And that's what I mean by time dilation. So there's there saying there's no reason you couldn't do that with A.I. in virtual reality either. It's like you could be running your life in that state at 200 or 300% or whatever percentage accelerated.

And so you could be out, quote unquote, of the real world for an hour and have a full day's worth of experiences. Right. So that's something that happens in dreams, I think, for most people, pretty pretty normal. But it it doesn't even happen for any VR type experiences because. Because you are like you happen to live in the temporal world. Yeah. Like there's too many things where you're not plugged in.

I think the conversation started on this topic when they were talking about Elon Musk nearly and how that's the first step to being Jack them. But when you're Jack, then time does not go and a 1 to 1 ratio there's no or it could but there's no need for it. So people not only will have to choose between living in the quote unquote real world, which on a totally different topic and the topic of politics, the US is really going down the toilet right now. Are you think.

A little bit or you could live in the jack in the world, the cyber world, as it were, and have fantastical experiences, but you could literally live a lifetime in a matter of weeks or months or even hours. The question will be, what would that do to your brain? Anything? I mean, would you want to do what your. Brain wants, which is it wants to be stimulated, is what is watching one minute videos doing your brain ruins it. That's why don't want to be on tic tac.

Well, it ruins it, but it also satisfies it. So does heroin. Yeah, indeed. Which is, you know. There you go. Yeah. This is somebody has to manufacture the heroin of. Yeah, somebody has to manufacture the device too. No, no other device. Yes. Device. Yes. But the content. No, because that's all air generated. So we're all going to be beholden to comic strip blogger. Well, if you think he's in the eye. Yeah, maybe. He sent us a booster grab.

And since nobody else did, I may as well just read that 14,000 Satoshi says Howdy Darren Reeve yet Gene thank you for promoting air That cooking podcast narrated by future famous TV show producer Gregor William for say Foreman. So he'll appreciate it, too. Yeah, Thanks for the speech. He is an air. He's a very I. Do find it ironic, though, that he is using an actual human being for for reading. I have found that because as you said, for bucks a month, again, he could do it.

I read of a much, much more variety of voices. Yeah, that was 11 labs, I believe. Yeah. I've got yeah, I pay those guys. The it's a very good sounding A.I. and that would be even better. I think that would be better at this point. CSP to move, Get rid of Gregory Forsyth for. Hire now and. You can push that. Non-Live and his girlfriend had him on my show as well. But the fact that the show is actually is annoying. That's for sure. By right that the show is being read by an actual A.I..

Yeah, that makes it even stronger, I think. Oh, absolutely. And that's just for the time being. But eventually a clearly a YouTube channel with the show being spoken by an AI. Well, here's the thing. You could just have Gregory put his voice into one of these things, and it'll sound like him anyway. Exactly. There you go. Things to get rid of them. Then you don't have to pay them anymore. He's just like. Mm hmm. Yeah. And that's the way the predictions are.

That's what's going to happen to shake up Hollywood. They get rid of all the actors. Is that, what, 10,000 satoshis from Curtis Peterson says, Go podcasting. You did. You were meaning to send that to the next show at Probably. I guess we'll take it, though. Yes. We absolutely will. But this is where it's going to be interesting when it comes to all of these content creators, because I feel like I'm kind of behind on a lot of this stuff, utilizing this kind of. You're not using A.I. every day.

I should be. I mean, I, I don't know. I could probably have an A.I. that could do the, you know, the podcasts and just put out the content, put out. You know. A YouTube video or two every day. It just has to look and sound like you. Mm hmm. You know, and then what? You normally you would say, well, you would still have to write the content and figure that out. But now you have an A.I. that could look it's like here would be he would be what I would be thinking, which would be CSB.

If you could write this. Now, look at your favorite news sites, whether That's Breitbart, Fox News, MSNBC, whatever it is. Well, look at the latest headlines, read that article and then create a video commenting on it. Mm hmm. Yeah, they're good at that. You could do a synthesis using a of almost any tech. That's where we're at. It's like, So what do you need? Right. Isn't that isn't that what we're taught in college? Which part? That this is.

What you take to read information and then be able to synthesize We had that and then. Spit it back out in your own words, showing a clear and concise understanding of the subject. Matter. And that apparently is a, uh, a significant problem because there was Bambi or somebody did a video that was pretty funny out of back to where Oh no, it was South Park just did a video. Jesus, those guys are right on top of things. They had the last 20 years. I'm okay.

Yeah. 30 South Park latest episode, at least as of last week, was that Eric and a couple other people had started using AI to generate their school report.

And so while all the other kids are getting their CS of crappy, you know, rapidly written papers, Eric and a few other folks like Butters and stuff, they're they're, they're turning in papers that clearly fourth graders have no business turning in their, like, college level papers on the variety of topics that they there's no way in hell we have any information about you so sorry. Okay. Yeah, exactly. So it's I think it is going to become more and more of an interesting topic.

The the thing is, uh, does it matter? Right? Because I think the argument Adam would have with very anti this stuff is that the air is full of shit and all it's doing is pulling out bits and pieces from other sources like Wikipedia and then spitting them right back out. You. It's not actually doing anything. I would say that is exactly what humans are doing as well. What wrote you? There's no doubt. Why? Why do we have it? I know this is oversimplifying, but we have about half the people now.

Let's just get everybody who doesn't care about politics and exclude that for the people that care about politics, you have a half and half. One spits out the talking points they get on Fox News. The other one they talking points they get at MSNBC. So I think you're right there. Uh huh. You then talking points are completely predictable. Yeah. And you're taking that information and you're spitting it back out. So and I would also agree that Adam Curry is right.

The air is not doing any thinking about the topic, but neither are most people. That's the other, right? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And I think that the the whole idea of a I somehow mean, like, there's nothing magic there. People ascribe to a magical qualities like, oh they've come up with things don't come up with jack shit. It's a sorting algorithm. That's all it is. It's a sorting with a a weight. It's a weighted average sorting algorithm. Yes.

And we realize, just like you were talking, would this be human A.I.? Yeah. When it comes to the artificial intelligence that is reading and understanding what you have written up to that point and then suggesting another chapter or two, all writing, very formulaic. Yeah. And what it's realizing is, well, let's change the subject from this to this. You know, it's like I've read a thousand books now.

It is technically coming up with new tats, but it's because it's able to do so in a format that it's already seen so many times that it understands where you could swap the variables out. Yeah, And in fact, I think South Park had an episode on this about ten, 15 years ago where the they were they discovered there was manatees that were writing Family Guy. Right. Right. And not like there weren't writers. There were just manatees.

And based on what the manatee does, then that moves the storyline along. And it was it's hard to say whether that's a jab at Family Guy or a a wink wink nudge nudge family guy, a. Little of both. Because you're sort of why y you saying the writers suck or you that like, that's all you really need to do to have a successful show. Well now you just have to open up an API and it will give you a whole new script. Yeah, yeah.

And I've jailbroken the for three so that things spitting out all kinds of from. A lot of I play with they have to send me an information what do I need to. Do with be good you have to go on the web. Oh well good that you can then. Let. Me know how to get that. I'll send you the twirling board. Nice. I got to work. Tor works, baby. Mm. Okay. But this is interesting stuff. In the there was a I forget how many millions or billions.

I'm sorry, How many billions of dollars Americans lost last year on romance. Yeah. Well, yeah, the Ukraine too. That was. But that was right out in the open. The the romance gap which I'm telling you, the I this what you're showing me here, the be human data and the fact that you need to go fishing. Yes. Oh, ultimate in catfish it. Oh yeah. You know this is will be like people will believe they're having a relationship with somebody that doesn't exist because this is how kids are dating now.

They're not actually seeing I mean person. Yeah. You're seeing them on video on a phone. There's an argument to be made. This is much better. What is that? You actually have people are not going to be emotionally abusive. You're going to have eyes within certain parameters that interact with their human companions. And each one of them will be a unique experience, even though it's the same way interacting with a million people. Yes. And it's interesting technology.

I mean, again, I've talked about the Amazon devices. The Google devices. Yeah. The I think I love you. It lists exactly the same chemical releases in your brain as an actual human doing it. Yeah. People feel like they're having a connection with something, even though it's just a voice coming out of a tube. If you're able to, the more complex you're able to have conversations. I mean, it's one thing just to be like lights on or what's.

You know, but saying things that make things happen in my house. But without it of what would be the Alexa self-destruct sequence. Alpha. Hey, hey, hey. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know. When you hear the rat. Lab. Rat, no one had a. Background in. We have some custom custom Alexa verbiage here. Yeah. So it's like a board. A board? Yeah. Hey, this is what happens when put too much into the matrix. You give it too much control, but the romance games are going to get way worse. The catfishing way works.

Yeah. Yeah, it's annoying. You just have to stop volume scams. All right? It's just the world around you. It's like a non physical relationship that you should not assume is with a human being. Yes. Do not empty out your humanity. Yes, it could be a manatee Mm hmm. Another 15,000 Satoshi exp says Yeah. Bitcoin up 25%. Alicia Today? No, yesterday. Yeah, I see that. I see that. That's what I should have. I should have bought and sold with a 25% my way. And one day.

CSB says I am not replacing glyph with a guy. Never, ever. No way. Jose Rationale Cooking is a podcast. Buy me bags for meat bags. So that's that's the difference there. So if you say volumes of I'm not that item yeah he. Says he's a meat bag. I don't know man. We have to meet you in person. CSP That's the only way to know exactly. Kick back a little bit. What that guy gets is at the finest. Of Polish Vodka is pretty good. English vodka. Mm hmm. I haven't had a drink in so long.

I mean, you're right up there, too, because you're still going. I haven't had a drink in well over a year. Same here, I believe maybe. No, that may be a lie. I think I may have had one. Ever since I became an I. I just stopped drinking. There was. And we had gotten some rebel yell

whiskey, and I think I put that in the coffee once. So. But really beyond that, that the cardiologist is like, yeah, you know, everybody thinks that when you when you drink too much that it's the liver that's the main thing to go. He's like, No, it's the heart. He's like, we see like nine out of ten people are lined up in the hospital because of the excessive drinking. It's like it's a heart issue, not a liver issue. In my head, it's still going. So I'm happy with that. Well, that's good.

So you're still having diarrhea? No, not yet. Working out things have been a little bit more stable, which is good. Yeah Yeah. I do want to mention, just on the medical front, I do have a dentist appointment next week at the Showtime. So. Of course. Of course you do. It'll either be pushed back into the show. You always manage to be sick for now. I messed up Planet Rage this week. And usually I'm like, Oh, he's still on all the other shows. Just Couldn't make it to the show. Really?

Well, you know, this is Friday. It is really it's. The lowest paying show out of all of them. Uh huh. I mean, you are the least friendly out of all the co host. I don't know about that. I'm super friendly. The I think the co host that you have on Wednesday. Yeah. That's probably. No, no. And, um, the healthier your show you just mentioned, you saw one random thoughts. That's the one that's yours? Both Yeah, probably. That's where it's just me. And all you hear is my voice, you know?

I know it's usually Bill O'Reilly, by a way, too much. You get my stuff from him. Like he was off this week, so I get nothing from week. Well, it is. It is the week without him. But I get a majority. I would say if I had to put a number on it, I get about 80% of my news of my content that I end up talking about on podcasts from reading from Fox news. Breitbart the usual suspects off the press dot com another good. Don't read any of those.

Now that's where I get most of my stuff from it about 20% bills around he usually bring some nuggets that will. Interesting minds maybe 20%. Tim Yeah and then like 80% Twitter. It's about right. But Twitter sucks, so I don't even read Twitter. Oh, it's horrible. It's that's exactly why you find stuff to talk about. I actually had a really good tweet. The day I said, Twitter is the Internet's complaint department. Yes, Well, it is. Is everybody on Twitter is? On Twitter, bitch?

Yeah, There's a lot of happy people there. Not a lot of happy. Well, it's. Everybody's, you know, because there's no reason to post a tweet unless you're bitching. I still haven't gotten my air fryer. I'm getting a little mad now. Oh, you should definitely tweet about that. Yeah, but it would have to be to U.P.S., Dot COSORI. Do they ship that? OTERI Yeah, they it was it wound up in one of the local hubs here last Friday. They still don't have it. What the hell I don't know.

Today, when I went and looked at the UPS tracking page, it was the first time I've ever seen at the top of the page. If you are the sender, check with your you know, if the person hasn't received it, you can now open a case. So I am. Yeah. So I'm guessing UPS just lost a bunch of air fryers or something. Uh huh. I don't know. You know, I've had that happen. Oh. Birth things during free onion rings for, uh, for a leprechaun. They said I just gave. There is a connection with it.

I just had an I pop up a text message on my watch. The guy's like, I know it's. Giving me burger King ads on my watch. Now, this is getting ridiculous, people. I'm thinking it knows you very well, though. Like, would you like onion rings? You're like, Of course I would like a neutral. Who doesn't like. Right? I mean. That and free ones at that. That would somebody get to bring them to you or do you actually have to go to a Burger King? Oh, no, no, no. Not guilt free, free delivery.

For free, free onion rings and free delivery. What more can you ask for? So I went to the grocery store yesterday and I did not go in, but I went to the grocery store and I had that service. I use the pickup service for the first time in years. Isn't that great, though?

Because I've always just had it delivered to my house and I thought, you know, I'm going to be out and about in the car anyway, so maybe I should just stop by the store and have them load the car up instead of driving into my house and charging the money for that. Right. Well, what we've been doing because. Have you have you been driving to the store yourself them? Well, my wife has. Yes. You do have a delivery service. Yeah, I do, because I make it.

So I do the ordering, so I get to control the ordering part and then I make it for. Literally a delivery service. So you are really she delivers it. She gets off of work and goes over to the grocery store for me. Well, this is this, right? Because if you have somebody else deliver, here's the thing. It's it's a it is not cheap to have your groceries delivered, especially if you're not a dude. It's six bucks. It's six bucks plus a tip, right? I guess it's like seven bucks.

Well, well, see, that's that's what being the douche club said, because I kid, you know, if you're bringing my weed this. Evening, I give a good 24 tips, Right? Well, that's what I do, too. You know, 20 bucks because the groceries are usually in for some of those people who get, like, pissed off about that because you could easily hit 200 bucks that would groceries. I totally get that. It's like, yeah, but you're not a waitress. And yeah, exactly.

And the the people that are packaging this stuff are not the ones getting tips. When our delivery it is because that's the weird thing about it it's that whatever is out here the Instacart the person that is doing the shopping is the one that delivers it to you. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, we are just split up. 2 hours. Before the store does the shopping and packaging interest, and then delivery service just brings it to your house.

But the beauty is when you do the ordering online for pickup, the store does all the picking of it. Yeah, And the store won't even let their employees accept the tip. So it's free just to go and you open up your trunk. They put them in your groceries and it turns out being, you know, 25 or 30 bucks cheaper a week. It's like, of course I'll drive. Well, I won't drive. The wife will drive the 2 minutes to the grocery store. That's about the same amount of time driving for me, shockingly.

But the the thing that I was surprised by in the negative sense is that, you know, I'd driven by this little arrow that says points here for, you know, pickup service or whatever. But so first time I go on there in the long time and I'm assuming there's maybe like ten parking spaces right? There's 38 parking spaces. DFC Hours doesn't really have like ten parking spaces.

So yeah, So I have my my parking space was halfway down the of the store, so it wasn't even anywhere near the entrance, which I was going to pop into the store real quick and grab a sushi while I was waiting for my rest of my stuff to get delivered. And I couldn't even do that because I was too damn far away. I would have had to walk. The how inconvenient is walking. I know, right? It's like, where is my goddamn cover scooter? Right? So I can just hover around to wherever I want to go.

Like, can you bring me up one of those rascal things with the big basket on the front, please? Oh, God. Now I want go get me a sushi. Yeah. So I had to call them and tell them to bring a sushi instead. Know. That's nice because you just add on the had on the sushi to buy. That kind of sushi and we're get to go. Now. A little dipping sauce would be nice. Dipping so you know it's a goofy. Little honey mustard. God know what the hell are you eating, man?

That's it. Slap you upside the head of a fish. Yeah. Yeah. Mm. I don't eat sushi. It seems like it won't kill me. But then again, I'm halfway there anyway. You should try it. It might be a revelation. Wasabi. That would be good. I have no. Doubt. Wasabi is very good for clearing up your sinuses if you're ever, like, dripping. Uh, you know, out of your senses. If you're ever in need when. You have a cold and things. Wasabi is very, very good. That, incidentally, so is mustard gas. Oh, yeah.

That there's the side effects. Clears you right up. Yeah, well, there are some slight side effects. I, I manage to have slight immunity to it because I was exposed very early on to a mustard gas. But it's, it definitely just clears you right up and there's no two ways about it. You're like highly recommend this stuff. Yeah I mean you may lose your sense of smell but that aside it is a miracle drug. Good to know. The more you know we are not medical professionals here are.

Definitely not medical advice not at all knew. We know somebody of their. Medical advice, which which drugs did you decide to continue using and which ones did you drop off of? I have not gone back on the statin because I'm going to have I see my regular doctor in like two weeks. So get set up mine. You know, I want to see my what my cholesterol is at that point and then make a decision on that moving forward. I did stay at the black and white again. I was told it's like, you know what?

You're of the lowest possible dose of this stuff. So while it is a, you know, black list drug, whatever that it seems to be doing, I think last week I was like, Oh, dude, I stopped the stat, but I had like five days where I couldn't even catch a pack. And I'm like, Oh, well, that must've been the stat. So I think it was Friday when we were talking about, Well, I'm not going to take. The. Flex day and I missed two doses. I stopped by one day without it and the packs came back.

Mm. So I'm like, okay, maybe it wasn't entirely the stat, but nothing has ever been as bad. So I still think that the stat maybe was exacerbating whatever. Back there, Nancy, If you start digging into websites that that talked about them there, there's just so many instances of side effects that people are having that you just don't normally have your doctor telling you about and you. Right. Well, they don't they don't even know about they. Put everybody on statins.

They literally just everybody is on statins these days. And I just refused to take that shit. I've cycled it on and off and right now I'm in the off cycle. So for the next two months I'm not going to take any of that. I'll start taking them again. Now do you have you to take the Coke? Q ten throughout the whole year. No, no, don't eat it.

Well, here's the interesting thing for me, because again, I don't think that the black died from anything that I've seen would cause a big difference in blood pressure. Although, again, I'm not a doctor. I could be wrong. Once I've started taking the Coke ten, my blood pressure numbers have gone way down. Oh, really? Which I was very surprised about. That's why I did a search.

And there have been studies that was one that said something like, Well, for people that were on 200 milligrams or I think it was to 25, but I've been taking 200 milligrams a day at 100 in the morning, 100 at night, that the people that were taking to 25 after a few months, like 51%, were able to reduce or remove a blood pressure drug. I'm like, I had no idea this was beneficial for blood pressure. Mm hmm. And then I don't think most people do. I don't think most doctors.

No, I don't think it generally prescribed for that now. Well, it's it's not prescribed. And that may be the biggest problem. It's a natural supplement. And I'm thinking maybe this is a big part of why the medical community. What are you taking for blood pressure? Valsartan and Verapamil. Okay, so doing Jardiance. Jardiance. Yeah. Ask your doctor when you go to see them, ask them about Jardim Jardiance. It's like it's like Geordi La Forge, but it's Jardiance.

Yeah. The So those would be what I've got now. Of course the it's possible that the coke you ten is the best possible blood pressure medication I can have for my particular DNA. Maybe you never know. I mean. I've got the little machine of the little machines always up, but it was common for my blood pressure readings on the machine to be anywhere from, like, 150 to 170 on the high end to the lower number. Big, you know, maybe 80 to 90 now. Yeah. Now I'm getting like 120 over 70.

Wow. That's really good too. I think my average probably like 130 over 85. Try some cocu tat and just see if it'll stay with a difference right there. Yeah, that's, that's like with all the drugs. Because I think if I just stop taking all the blood pressure related pills, you. Will die within a week. Possibly. Cause I think when I first started taking these was when I went to the hospital with like one lady. 120.

Yeah, well, my dad, they just switched the blood pressure medication on him and he got readings like that, like 190 over 110. It's like, Yeah, that's no good. Yeah. I mean, you could, like, blow up a balloon with your blood, but. Yeah. Yes. You don't want that. You do not want that. And it's amazing how different drugs just or don't work. Yeah. You're, you're, you're basically like a Tarantino person.

So the point is, you know, in Tarantino's movies, any time somebody gets a wound, there's like a two foot long spray of blood going. Near like they should have or not. Blood pressure medication, it. Really should have just barely would have been that would have been just a flesh wound in that point. But this is what you got in. I mean, you have to monitor this kind of stuff. I was just. Yeah, when you're in your hundreds. Absolutely. I was never monitoring it as closely.

You know, once I started the Cocu Ted, because I didn't think that was going to have any effect whatsoever, then all of a sudden they, like I took the blood pressure. It was low at the doctor, which is always a surprise because going into the cardiac degree, it's always high for me and it was low. So I came home but I checked it and it was even lower I'm like, What the hell? So maybe there's the coke, you ten, Maybe I hit on. How many milligrams the Coke utility doing 500, the.

100 in the morning, 100 at night. But you doing it twice a day. Yeah. Yeah. I figure it's kind of spreading it out, which is like the. Yeah. That should goes up to 600 milligrams. Yeah. Well they said I mean there's very little side effects even going up, you know way beyond that kind of dosage. But I think a lot of this is the doctors don't like to prescribe limit or even tell you because none of this stuff is FDA monitored So. They don't like stuff they don't make money on.

Well, what okay. The money I totally agree. But I also understand that if I walk into the average store to buy some cocu, Ted, that even if everyone says it's 100 milligrams of you, Ted, they're not all going to be 100 milligrams of coke you debt. You know, not all brands are created equally that they're not monitored to the point of. Yeah like there's not a requirement for that they should be.

And back when I ran that company, we definitely did proactive testing and we did accelerated aging testing to where you would know because all these things start off as quite a bit higher than what's on the label. And then with age, we're sitting in the warehouse, sitting on the shelf, sitting in your, you know, damnit, yes. The potency goes. Down. Yeah it, it does for damn near everything.

And so typically when you're going to manufacture drugs, what you're shooting for is the label level at 36 months. That makes sense. That's what you. Want. A little more is better than less. Yeah. Yeah. But you have no idea when the manufacture date was right for most days is that standard requirement but that in there. So yeah you're you're probably okay.

But also I would say for most of these things people forget that you don't necessarily like if you want the 200 milligrams, you don't necessarily have to buy a single build the 200 milligrams If it's cheaper to buy, you build that are 100 each. That makes sense. Like there's nothing magic about combining them. You could literally take double the the volume of a cheaper supplement. Well, you know. Sometimes there's way cheaper.

You have to pay attention. Mm. And there were some other tumori that it was a tumor. Rick There was another one that a supplement that was highly recommended for, the Parsis. I don't remember what it was called. Now it started with the tea. This is like help. Jean remember names. I'm like. I know, right? What, what does supplement. That was a tea and it does what. It is for like that. It was a heart kind of a thing. Although it's you again just a natural supplement.

It was it was talked about in combination with another one that was like l dash something on that THC. That's different now. It's all ideal. Uh huh. Like it was like to breathe. I'll find that I have a plant somewhere because I was kind of intrigued that. There were thick outside. Is that. Yes, it was a nitrous oxide kind of thing. The hour of the night. Yes, that is the first. Got that. And then there was the other one of that was was like the nitrous oxide kind of. Mm hmm.

The the whole concept was, though, that it helped to squash the extra beach and that I mean, again, I was reading so much and this was just off a a random person. It was like I was on election and, and I'm like, Oh, wait, I want to see see what this is all about it control this.

And then like I started taking this ad, this ad that took care of it, and I was like, oh, you know, that's interesting that like nobody ever does with all the blood test that, there's nothing that usually tests for the that this ad your blood that you have a you know that you need more but you get it because a lot of doctors orient idea what was that boring yeah yes it was it was boring. Okay. There we go. Should I be taking. That's what I want to know, Doctor Gene. Yeah, yeah.

It's just add that. Doesn't it doesn't taste very good, but yeah. Well I think you take it in pill form and. Yeah, I make bail. You make your own. Well, there you go. Yeah. How about should I take. What are your benefits? What are you getting out of it? I know. That's my wife. She's like it. A lot of energy drinks. I'm like, but that it. It's bad. Make the fly. Makes you fly. Well, that's just gives you wings. I thought that was the Can't. Give you your wings. Exactly.

Hillary gives you weight strain. Yeah, I mean it. Yeah. You get my biggest is there's there's too many supplements that I think these they're all right.

And that was kind of what I'm looking at and it's like it's not even about the money but it is in the sense that it costs a lot to be on this many supplements where it's like, okay, if I have to take the coke, you ten, I'm taking the reds for the eyes if I have to taking magnesium for this, I'm taking you know, there comes a point where you like I'm just all pills. It is. It said I have two handfuls of pills now every day, which is way more than I really want to be taking.

But the problem is I keep coming up with or I should by coming up, I mean finding out about new pills that actually would be good for, you know, for my life. So now the interesting thing is the taurine does say that it AIDS and plays an important role in digestion which a lot of the times I was having the irregular beat I notice it comes with the stomach doing the big gurgling things. I wonder if there's a connection with that to the gut is a big thing. The gut is pretty big.

Yes. Especially in tall dudes like Know. So it's a balancing act that all of this. Yeah. The other thing I haven't taken now in a few days is vitamin D. Yeah, you have or haven't have that. I have been on that when there was. No make sure you're taking t to any time you're doing a large dose the venom and g. Well that would be the thing because the vitamin D I noticed about is 5000 I use. Yeah. I did 10,000 food vendors 20. 5000 every day. Wow. See that could cause you ultimately.

Now, apparently not until you get to over 100,000. Really? Yeah. Wow. We've we've we've talked about this on five deaths. Believe it or not, this is. Yeah, that's a lot of vitamin D. It is a lot of vitamin B I and I don't think naturally you'd be you'd be eating that much fish to ever get anywhere near 25,000. So I mean because the what I've read on that was oh we don't recommend you over 600 iu's a day because. Yeah. Which, which is total bullshit.

Yeah I would agree. But I'm at 10,000 because I originally got prescribed 10,000 like 15 years ago, 20 years ago. And then I realized you could buy non-prescription. And it was right when I moved to Texas. That was that was a. Well, yeah. You went from a non sunny place. Yeah. Just any place. And that means do you have to start taking vitamin D? Although you would if you go outside you could just get some free vitamin D. Well no it's, this is a problem.

It's, it's one of those inverse truth is that people in the southern climates are the ones that generally need the most vitamin D in supplement. Because while there is more sun, what does that cause? It causes people to put on sunscreen every fucking day. That'll you. And that means you're now not getting any vitamin D at all. So the sunscreen prevents your body from getting ultraviolet radiation, which prevents it from creating vitamin D at all.

Where in the north, you're like, Oh my God, it's been like snowing for half a year. Fuck sunscreen, I'm just going to be outside. Right? Right. So what is the what is the key to do? Is that help with the you need to Yeah. Data is used the materialization of vitamin D so if you have large quantities of vitamin D and small quantities of K to, you're more apt to build up plaque. Well, that's. Another way of saying cholesterol, right? Yeah. Yeah. Which so you got to have the.

Well pretty much, Yeah. Exactly Like this is this. I didn't have high cholesterol until you told me to take the vitamin D. I know, I know. Eggs, but hey, not a medical show. No, no, You're the doctors. Like, take vitamin D. It's like I told you the same thing, though. That's true. And I. I think we do need like we generally as Americans are under vitamin D as So we all need a little help in that department. But but you have to make sure that you don't.

Is this the problem is that when you just eat normal foods, they all have a variety of vitamins and minerals in them. And when you start supplementing some on a large scale, it's important to also do the research to understand what is the purpose of that particular supplement and what it interacts with, and then increase those as well. Because otherwise you're, you know, you're kind of creating a cholesterol factory. Yes. Which is not good now. No bueno. No, no bueno at all.

So that leads to more medications, which leads to more cash, which leads to more side effects, which leads to nothing good. So as stupid as it sounds, taking two fistfuls of pills every. Morning. It's still worth doing this to stay on the side of healthy. Well, and the supplements can do so much. I mean, if you can lower your blood pressure with something like Coke Q10 that has almost zero side effects. Right. And is actually beneficial if you are taking statins.

Yeah, well, it's definitely beneficial if you take them their requirement. If you're taking statins. It's beneficial to your heart. Unlike the drugs that you're on for blood pressure, which can cause all sorts of bad things to happen. But I get it. I understand why the doctors go to the drugs because they can at least control that. And it's very I don't know, maybe they feel like patients would laugh at them or feel like, well, go to the health food store or Amazon and buy some coke.

You, Ted, rather, that I'm going to start you out. A blood pressure medication. I don't I think there are doctors that that do that type of thing as well. I just think that most people don't have those doctors. They don't use them. Probably true. I think Adams always referred to his doctor as a voodoo doctor, and I think that's exactly the kind of guy that would tell you to go the supplement route first and foremost. Yeah, well, try it first.

If it doesn't work, there's always more harsh things you can move to. Yeah. But soon Adam Curry will just be replaced by an A.I.. That. That's what you told me about. I totally did not tell you that I know where you're pulling that out of. But don't worry, I will edit the audio of the show to make it sound. You said exactly that. Uh huh. Uh huh. This is why you can't believe the eyes. That that's why. Okay, well. That's one of the reasons.

Yeah, it is one of the reasons since we had no donations to the I mean, I will still mention that we're value for value show. Yeah, totally. But don't bother dying by worth it. Unrelenting Dutch show slash donate, I believe. But if you don't want to donate here donate to random thoughts. Ari and webby thoughts dot com. Donate to the rock and roll pre-show donate. You know you got to the end of donations there. You don't need any more.

Donate donate I mean I wonder why that this is the least lowest performing well I've. Been telling people not to give money for a year that might have a little something to do with it. We got five shows. This is the larger, the larger to said award leg. Lagging behind. I think is the the word. It's all. Because they're donating to surging speaks. We don't take donations speak it's. Just you're like no I won't take your money. Well I mean I don't nobody donate phones. Well see.

There's there's a difference. Between these two things. They they're both true They don't they're not mutually exclusive. Fine. Fine. I think that the only shows that I've ever really pushed donations on, and it's tongue in cheek, but holy shit, that it worked was giffgaff the YouTube show? Because asking people to give money every 5 minutes ends up like having people give you money every 5 minutes. You're like, It's part of the show. You're becoming better. The literally the shtick.

It's the part of the show that is directly associated with the title of the show and and and I will say I do it a lot more frequently than my co-host in there. And it's really I'm really the co-host of that show. He's the main dude. It's on every single episode. I'm on maybe half the episodes, but I'm also the one that just, you know, totally made fun of the whole You don't eight. It's like nonstop grift.

And we've got products we're showing on there and all kinds of things off the AMP safety devices for the impending apocalypse. Well, you have to have that. Yeah, all kinds of things. Oh, incidentally, I did pick a random person using a random number generator to win the Apple Watch. Woohoo! That is now been accomplished and I will be shipping that out this weekend. Nice. Yeah. I want to say the winner was Do we know who the winner was. The winner had a really weird name on Amazon.

It took me about a week and a half to track down who that person actually was. It was. It was Anselmo. No. Yeah, no, that was the best one. That Yeah, if I would have picked based if I was going to do it just by myself picking one, he would have won. But I you know, you. Randomized, you got. To do, you got to do random number generator things because otherwise you're not really doing the contest. You're just literally you just get your hiring somebody, right?

You're hiring somebody a right, a really good version of this and I'll pay you. Well, that's legal. That's legal. Don't worry about that. I mean, it's all legal because, like, there was no purchase necessary. The only thing that was necessary was a review. The reverend. Probably didn't realize that. Coming in. Right. He also you just said those 55, 55 Satoshi says also not a pity boost, but obviously a pity boost. That's a dollar 47. I just look satoshis up 676.73. Yeah.

That today they've they've gone up. Yeah exactly. And there's over 25% in the last 48 hours. You think they're going to continue to go up or is it. That was, is now a good time to turn all my stats on to another. I would sell. I would sell right now. Yeah. I guess my my basic plan is whenever it dips under 20 by whenever it goes over 25. So that makes sense. It is in that little range. It seems to be 20. 5% like not annual, but 25% per short period of time.

It's well worth thinking, thinking that. And then if if they say, well, now let's just those numbers upwards. But but I still about a 5000 difference between the low and the high is plenty of profit justify buying into Yeah. That makes sense. This is nothing. These days using the same companies. For which. For your crypto. I've been using Alby for the lightning mainly. No I mean for selling crypto. For selling crypto. I'm just going from a get Alby to buying an Amazon gift card.

Oh okay. Okay. Okay. So you're just buying the gift cards? Yeah, I mean, I can transfer that out, but it's like it just seems easier to. Well, did you ever buy What the hell were you going to buy on Amazon there? So that was the other stream that I still got the other two. Okay. Did you update the stream that the other day when they had the update yet? Did you get this? Did it change every fucking icon on the machine? It did. Oh God, what a. Bunch of fucking assholes.

That was. Like, Are you serious right now? I love not the. But but but they added a backup functionality will never happen again. Which and they've allowed for larger fonts which I'm also very happy about now. But when this thing was like right before the rock and roll pre-show because I reboot the machine, it's like, oh, you have an update. Great. Never because I've updated this. I don't know. If you guys know better than I. Know.

There was never a problem before and it still functioned, but it was just like, Wow, this doesn't right? I'm like, Oops. It's all right. It's still in the good little device. And I may I the one with the audio stuff. I don't know if I need it. I've got so many buttons already. You do have a lot of buttons. I like the little twisting knobs. And of course. You do.

What I have got to set up on my on the I'm too I've got the I actually got rid of my, my original smaller one but I got the pussy knob one and then I have the the big one with a whole bunch of buttons and I use the smaller one then to select which group of buttons to have on the big one. That makes sense. So that way I tend to my, my left handed one determines what I'm going to mostly here's what it has. It has the selection of what buttons on the other.

Plus it has things like microphone, mute, headphone versus speaker, all good things when. You're doing live video, especially. Around ping rate, it's doing nonstop pinging. And I've been pinging this whole thing. I did the whole show today while not nordvpn while downloading torrents. So why did they take that out? I was like, no, no, glip, no glitches, no without. Network them and then uptime. I've got uptime on there just so I know.

Like if it gets like four or five days, I usually want to reboot it. You know, it's time to hit the reboot. And I still need to set up Mike out there. Mac People have told me now on several shows, Are you going to set up the Mac. Yeah, because you're on the M1. The M2 is out now, baby. I know. Yeah, yeah, totally. But I'm, I'm on the M1 and I just need to plug the damn thing in. I Got a 43 inch monitor already for it. We'll do that. Again. And again next week.

On Friday, at this regular time, I'll be at the dentist. Yeah. Getting my root canal redo finish. Should I, should I. Since we know ahead of time that I see if Ben Rose available and we'll it. I mean. If you want to do a guest host you can do that. You might be fun. Might be fun. Otherwise we have later in the day Friday if you have that open otherwise, you know what would you get some. More donations with Beamers and then with the. B hate donations though.

Hey, donations are donation. This is true. If you want to hate, donate and. People have a misconception that that somehow they keep thinking that Ben Rhodes and I are giving like five, you know. Yeah, we agree. Damn near everything when we fact. I mean you're basically the same person with a different no with a different voices since this program in front of you. I mean, yeah, I'm probably a little more of a gamer. He's a little more of a gamer, you know? I said gamer. Oh, but no.

Suggesting that for. Our gamer. For him. Yeah. I don't know. I think. I think he's been in a heterosexual relationship for a while. Can you prove that, though? Really? I mean, lots of cats. So I know about that. I don't know if that's breaking his case or crucifying him. What does lots of cats mean? Does that make you the straight people only have lots of cats. Means you're a lesbian. So clearly that means he's straight. Wow. I would not want to miss gender. Would not? Oh, would you really nap?

I think you're just saying that I think you'd love to mix gender. You're probably right about that. Uh huh, one way or the other. This show will continue at some point in the future. Join with or without you. Yeah. Is that a U2 song or what? Another reality.
