198 - The Pope, a Dead Scientist, and 64 Million Mosquitoes - NAB x Saloodz
104m 36s
The podcast blends humor, absurdity, and real-life anecdotes to explore a wide range of topics—from the strange phenomenon of needing to poop in bookstores to conspiracy theories involving the Pope, Google, and the CIA. The hosts share personal stories about bathroom rituals, psychological triggers, and tech mishaps, like losing a phone mid-travel and being forced to go without it. A segment on a fictional "poop at a bookstore" phenomenon ties into medical science, explaining how monotonous environments can reduce gut activity. The team also humorously debates the ethics and science behind Google’s mosquito release program, designed to combat malaria by releasing sterile male mosquitoes. The episode includes a lighthearted song about Andrew’s brother Chinn and a heartfelt discussion on cultural identity, where the hosts affirm that despite differences in appearance, they share the same divine origin. Amid jokes about a "bomb" Bluetooth device on a flight and a UFC fight on the White House lawn, the podcast maintains a balance of satire and reflection, ultimately celebrating personal connection, self-awareness, and the absurdity of everyday life. The episode concludes with a call to action on BetterHelp for mental wellness during busy summers and a playful note on the dangers of being "too embarrassed"—highlighting that self-awareness, not shame, is key to healthy relationships and personal growth.
What do a dead scientist, the Pope, and 64 million mosquitoes, have in common? A scientist vanishes without a trace. It's found over one year later in a case it seems to just get stranger. The Pope is some of the most powerful tech leaders in the world, a clashing over the future of artificial intelligence. And Google back scientists releasing millions of mosquitoes into the United States. And in the middle of the episode, Andrew's camera suddenly malfunctions. Who's behind it? The CIA? The occult? Your mother? Let's find out together. And we dive into all of this on this week's episode of Ninja's Our Butterflies. This podcast has brought to you however I Sunday cool. Watch this, or listen. You haven't gone pooped yet? Here's what happened. Okay. We woke up right and early. Two in alarm. We didn't get to sleep in its summer break. Yeah, that was that court so wrapped around. Josh has an appointment phone call, which traditionally necessitates us to get. This is broken. What's broken? Only one ear hurts or only one. Only one ear hurts. Only one ear works. Oh, those are the broken headphones. Oh, it worked. It's it. He fixed it magic. We this phone call necessitates us to leave the house. We're going to find a new solution. Yeah. I'm like, let's go get breakfast. Sure. I'm like, I really want to go to first watch because I can get a keel tonic. I can get eggs and bacon. Something really nutritious and actually like well made. We pull into the parking lot tears from Ada. Yeah. Please don't make me go here. I don't like their food. Old people food, yeah. Well, she was going to Peach Valley, which is like their rickety cousin. As older people food. The oldest people food. Yeah, she we get a pancake or whatever. And I have not had a sip of coffee at this point. Yeah, and it's like 8 30 in the morning. Anyway, we do our thing and we leave. I haven't pooped all day. Yeah, it's 10 a.m. All right, you got four times. Nice. Gin is here. Gin is here. Andrew's brother. Thanks. Are you holding in a coffee poo? Yeah, man. That's crazy. I actually had to do that a lot. You did have coffee though. I did have coffee. I've had two cups of coffee. Not enough though. There is something that's happening in my head. Where my brain is. At all. Um, you, uh, we were talking about this yesterday. I figured since we're on the subject of poop, you know, we might as well dive into it. Yeah. Raise your hand if you've ever had a massive dump at a bookstore. All hands are raised. Yeah. For the audio list. I think it's every time I go to a bookstore. It's crazy, right? It's an actual phenomenon. It is a phenomenon. I keep seeing it all the time where people are like, what is it about books, Barnes and Noble's like, like it's like off the, it's a Barnes and Noble, like the walls of the books. And then it's the hallway of the bathrooms. And it's like horror music underneath. And it's like everyone can relate. And it's like, how is that possible that everyone can relate to this? And apparently there is a medical proven fact of like why this thing happened. Oh my god. And it's called a yokey, marioca. It's a yokey. It's not a yokey. It's at the gong. Where you, you know, yokey, marioca. It happens when you enter a monotonous or predictable environment. There's a chemical that's released that helps like, it says decreased vagus nerve activity. You're like ultra relaxed. Yes. And so it's more. It dampens the brakes on the, on your gastro, gastro colloquial reflex. Whatever that is. So basically it's just a psychological thing to like that detects this feeling that you have when you walk in, especially books or something about books. Yeah. Help us feel relaxed. Yeah. But there's also TJ Maxx is one of the other places, which I'm like, I don't know. That is the stress. I don't feel that way when I go to TJ Maxx. Not at all. What's funny is I was on the phone with my mom and I said maybe 10 times, I was like, I have to poop. I have to poop. Sure. And then I walked in here and it was like. Interesting. Gone. I'm stressed. It's the opposite of a Barnes and Noble. Yeah. So honestly, if you have people poop at your house, that's probably the biggest compliment. Right? Well, I'm going to tell my uncle Johnny that because my uncle Jeff would go to his house to go poop. Whoa, dude. Okay. We have a new bathroom here. I bet he loves talking about that on this. Probably. We have a new bathroom. We require that other building. Uh-huh. And that was most relaxed dump of ever taking that Sunday cool in my life. Wow. Talking like full, not just my colon, but like my small intestine, large intestine, everything. You're clear. I'm in the best place in my life because I think I'm alone in this back bathroom. I walk out of the bathroom and Kylie and her new assistant are in the kitchen. The bathrooms attached to what makes it worse is they had not announced themselves in any way, which means they walked into the space quietly, knowing the door shut and some dudes doing work in there. That's so funny. I walk out. They don't look at me. They don't say what's up. Oh, no. Oh, all right. I'm walking it. I love to walk past them. Go all the way back to the building. So, so this building over here? Like the furthest one away. So I mean, like you that might have happened to you because you walked basically a mile. Use the toilet. It was the, I mean, I don't regret it. Yeah. It was the greatest. I almost walked in on the kid pooping last. Teenager pooping yesterday. It was at the mini golf place. And in miniola, we went for youth group. And I literally opened the door, thinking it was like a shared bathroom thing. No, because as soon as I opened the door, he goes, "Ah, I thought I locked it." [laughter] Like what a funny thing to scream. [laughter] I feel like in that situation, like usually you say something you don't want. Like you can't, like that's actually pretty smooth. You're able to like pinpoint what the problem was and say it. I just go, "Oh, hey, hey." Oh, I know. I say occupied, which I never even used it. Like my real link. You got to steal every time. And I love it because every time I do it, I say my line, I hear a chuckle behind the other door, which is like if you can get a laugh every single time. Whenever someone knocks or tries to get in, I say, "Come in." Like that's instant. Instant, they're like, "Okay." Let's them know it's occupied, but also gives them a little laugh. The one time someone does, you're going to be so scared. I'll welcome it. You know, like I asked for it. Okay. Coming in. That's interesting with the Vegas Nerf thing, because I always have the urge to poop, like when I'm like five minutes away from the house. Yeah. That's like all of a sudden, it's like, "Oh, yeah." Your body knows. Yeah. That's true. Coming back from a road trip, when I can do a 10 hour trip, locked up. But as soon as I hit Mount Dora, I'm like, "Oh, no." Yeah. Man, I love poop. Because I don't want to poop when I'm camping. No. Like I can go like 72 hours without a poop when I'm camping. But I'm not telling myself, "Don't poop." Like it's just like my body's like, "You can't do this here." No. You'll die. You will die. I did take them. Do you guys have like a poop schedule? Not really, dude. I'm kind of scattered. No. Definitely first thing in the morning. First thing in the morning, always. Yeah. Josh is basically all day. If he eats a meal, he's pooping after. Well, I'm coffee-induced and I drink coffee same time every day. So it's like definitely morning. Yeah. Yeah. I quit doing like coffee as soon as I woke up and I feel like that's kind of through my schedule off a little bit. Also, for this is, if this is your very first podcast, this is it. This is basically what we do for an hour and a half. So welcome. Welcome, everyone. This has been good. We haven't filmed in like two weeks. I know. This is great. Yeah. We got a lot of dive into. Yeah. We got conspiracies. We got governments dropping bio-weapons. Yeah. We've got explosions. We got the Pope. Badling Peter Teal. AI. AI versus the Catholic Church. Are you kidding me? We've been waiting for this. Yeah. It's going. It's happening, baby. So, me and Lil, we were in DC. And then we went to the beach after. Yes. DC is pretty cool. Lily left her phone on the plane. Relax. Immediately as soon as you start vacation. Let me let you say how it went. Because we-- OK. And I never offered you this context because I just wanted to talk about it as little as possible when it happened. But when we flew in, we left early, right? We do the early flights, which I recommend. I thought it was great. But we get on there. And it's pretty packed. At least a lot of people have like luggage. And so our carry-ons are kind of scattered throughout the plane. Sure. And it was like just very high pressure. And my phone is in the front pocket. I get the girls ready, whatever. We leave the plane. Apparently, the whole time they're going over the intercom and they're saying, someone left their phone. Someone left their phone. But it didn't register with me. Because that's sterling. Oh, no. Anyway, we get to the car rental place, which is a shuttle away. I'm standing there, and it-- one of those moments. I say, hey Josh, come ride your phone. And I see my location just literally on the airplane. I was like, hmm. And I'm like, how long can I get away with saying anything? And I realize there's no way we're going back to the airport to get my-- Yeah. We have my parents with me, my brother. It's like-- You would have to go through security. It's not happening. It's not possible. It's not happening. I would rather my phone go to Alaska. Yeah. Then go back there. Sure. And so I-- We're standing in the line. And I'm like, Josh? My phone's on the airplane. Is that how you said it? Yeah. You should have prepared him a little bit more. You should have been like, what I'm about to tell you. It's not going to be great to hear. If I said that, I think he would have been supported as long as I would have gone to the-- I just had to be factual. Anywho, he's like, what? No, no, I kept my cool. I'm like, don't freak out. Don't be the dad on vacation that gets mad.
I said, okay, that sucks. That's what I said. Inside, I'm like, yeah, my eyes are, (laughing) I was like, I am gonna work it. (laughing) - And I was like, you see my energy? Match my energy. - Yep. - I'm not worried about it. I'm so un-worryed about it, it's okay. And I truly was un-worryed about it. - Yeah. - And I know if I tell my dad, that's where it's gonna really get escalated. 'Cause my dad's just gonna roast me and like, he's gonna get high court as all, even though it affects him none, by the way. - Yeah, and that funny. - Anyway, I'm calling all the places, they don't answer, they make me leave a voicemail or whatever. Finally, I get ahold of somebody later that evening. And they're like, we'll hold onto your phone here until you come back on Friday. And I'm like, this is great. It's a forced detox. I didn't miss it for a second, you guys. - That's great. That's good. - I tell you, we had to check it for the flights the night before. - Ooh. - What do you mean? - I booked everything on my phone. - I booked everything. - Oh, it's gonna log on. - It's definitely easy. - Yeah. - Let's just go on your email. - She forgot her password. - Oh no. - Really? - No big deal. - No, it's the one. - It's my password, I said it in my notes and my phone. (laughing) And then, it was her work email. So I'm like, I'm texting Tyler, like seven o'clock at night, gonna get him to reset the password. - People literally get the garlic on a date with his phone. - Yeah. - Oh god. - Incredible. - It took like an hour. - Yeah. - This is like, it's like. - That's enough. - That was going to the back end to go daddy and stuff like that. Finally, it gets reset. Cool. It says to confirm this email, go to your other email, your Gmail account. (laughing) She forgot her Gmail account password. (laughing) - Lily! - And I'm working on it! (laughing) - What we gonna do? - Oh my god. - The best part of this is she's still telling the story. Like, it's awesome. - I mean, you could have checked in at the airport. - Well, that's what I said. I'm like, people do this every day. You know, people still go to the airport and print out boarding passes. - Oh, that's a good one. - We had it, that's what I'm saying. - We had it with anxiety. I can't do that. - Last week, we just couldn't, we, they wouldn't allow us to check in. They're like, one of your people aren't eligible to check in online. I'm like, what? Like, okay, whatever. So all we had to do was just go in and check and install. - I wish I could be that human. Like, like, when we did, I think it was us when we went to the soccer game, saw Man City and all that. I think I booked a parking ticket as well, just 'cause I didn't wanna get to a venue and not know everything was sorted. - Yeah. - That's so funny. - Well, speaking of booking tickets. - You guys made it back. - You guys, do you guys wanna song? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Jam, would you like one? - Okay. - That was me, I hit mine. - Have we said that Chinn is Andrew's brother yet? - I mentioned it at the beginning. - Oh, yeah. - I think they get it. They can kind of see it. - Andrew de Nune. - See the resemblance? - Yeah, you definitely see it. - Did you imagine that was like, we used my brother the whole time. They were like, assuming. - Chinn, is there like a genre? You want us to? - Yeah, sure. - Let's go with, let's go with pop. - Ooh. - I got just pop, you know? - Just generic pop. - Any era? Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor Swift. - Nope. - You know? - Tomatoes of motto. - Yeah. - Let's do it. - Chappelrone. - Ooh. - Yeah, we can do something like that. - Make this song how to go? - Yeah.

That's not a stereotype. - What? - What are you saying? - Oh no. - A stereotype about, wait, whoa, whoa, are you? - Back up, back up. - Get me out of this. - Hold on, hold on. What do you mean they don't all look the same in the eyes of God? God's children, God's perspective. - That was missing context. - That it was really was not. - It was all in. - Obviously, Andrew, Jen, followers of Christ. - Yeah. - To God, they're his children. He doesn't, he doesn't, he doesn't distinguish between the two of them. - That's true. - They're all the same. And you're saying no. - You know, Jesus, you remember what we used to say? - Yeah. - Don't sing it. - Oh, the children of those. - No, I'm just saying, no. - You're saying no again? You're rejecting what the song's about. - Can you still sing that song politically? - Of what? - Oh my gosh. No, listen to what I mean though. Because of the stubborn. - I remember she's saying it differently. - I'm just gonna stop talking. - She doesn't know how it's supposed to be. - She's saying it differently. Which one of the colors is offensive? - I think that they are just, no. I think that it's, do you need a shovel for the hole that you're digging? - Yeah. - Give me out of the situation now. - She would sing, I remember. 'Cause we went to school together. - And this is why she doesn't want to sing it now. - Yeah, and in Chappell she would always sing, Jesus was a little children. All the children of the world. - And Lou would sing red and yellow, especially white. - Oh no. - They are precious in this site. - I've never said that in my life. - Lily. - Lily. - No lie. - Lily. - I would never say that. I don't feel that way. - Quit smiling. - Yeah, why are you smiling? - Everybody's looking at me. It's a lot of pressure. - Well, I guess you guys heard it here first. - It's a lot of good. - Oh my gosh. - I don't know, guys. I'm sorry. - I'm sorry, too. - I'm sorry, guys. - I see you guys as the same. - Honestly, I'm sorry, too. - I see all of us the same. - Too late. - And created in the image of God. - Amen. - Well. - Yeah, Lily. Welcome to the show. I guess. - Did I save Ninja? - I meant. - Wonderful. - You snored out one of God's sh*t. - Oh my gosh. - I said empty your mind. - You were. - Watch the Lord. - Fucking John's out there. - This episode is sponsored by Better Health. Summer is funny because everyone talks about it like it's automatically relaxed. Meaning while half of us are busier than ever. - Exactly, travel, family stuff, camps, vacation, schedules all over the place. Some people are thriving. Some people are just trying to survive until September. - Yeah, which one are you? - Honestly, depends on the week. I love summer, but if I'm not careful, I feel every weekend and end up needing a vacation for my vacation. - Yeah, I've been there, that's real. - And that's why taking care of yourself matters. Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is not add another thing on to you.

Did you see that one comment that was like, "Lily is the most racist of them all." Behind Andrew, though, is what they said. Behind Andrew. Hey, good for us. So they wanted to say Andrew is racist, but somehow Lily's just much worse like-- I know. Why didn't you say Andrew was racist? Goodness. Let's just get into it, folks. Let's dive in. There's a lot of crazy stuff happening these past couple weeks. So much. A lot of stuff. You guys heard about that plane that turned around. Going to-- No. They're going from New Jersey to Spain, I believe. Halfway through the flight, they're like, someone's Bluetooth popped up. And the flight attendant's like, can everyone turn off their Bluetooth? And this person refused to turn off their Bluetooth. Their Bluetooth name was bomb. Oh, gosh. Very good. And so they literally turned the plane around over the ocean to go back to New Jersey to arrest this dude. Is he arrested? Yeah, he got arrested. I mean, at the airport, I don't know, like-- Were they, like, halfway there? Literally halfway there. Well, then why bomb that city that we were in the return to? And then, like, what's the decision there? I don't know. Because if there is a bomb, then it's going to go off in one of those two cities. You're already halfway there. Go the other half. Why would you give me a bomb? If it's Bluetooth, then they'd be trying to trigger it. And the plan would be to go somewhere and do it if it hadn't yet gone off. Or-- I think it's more just arresting the person. The federal agency. Yeah. Yeah. Also, it was like-- You asked your jurisdiction? Yeah. Just toss him on the plane. It's the plane. But that makes me so nervous with, like, the text that you sent me down. I forgot what I said, dude. Dude, while he's looking that up, you didn't know this. One of my groomsman lives in DC. And I was the whole time I never did it. But I was like, what if I hit him up? Because I have your location. So I could literally get him to, like, black suit it up, and then just start messing with you. He would have had-- he would have freaked out by the way. I would have been so mad at you, Andy. And that's-- I mean, this guy, like, you wouldn't actually name it bomb, right? And so it's like-- I like it. Think about-- I can think about you guys. That's what I think about it. You guys do stuff like that. Yeah, Andy plays, like, flights crashing on his phone, like sitting on his-- What else right next to Josh one time? We were flying back, like, turn it off. It was just a montage of airplane crashes. We were in Billings, Montana. And you guys were sending each other. You're, like, sending text messages that are, like, do you have the gun? Do you have a bomb? [LAUGHTER] And I was like, can you guys cut it out? Oh, jeez, we're-- you guys-- you guys are nuts. When we did the Jewish boys choir, you started hair-dropping photos of jeez. [LAUGHTER] What's the-- Oh, my god. Yeah. You were like, just-- you were texting me, like, hey, don't go through with it. Please don't go through with it. Yeah. I'm like, please stop. I have no idea. I text you back. You were bowling me for something. And I said, I hope you get arrested in DC. And I said, I found your manifesto, by the way. He says, take it back. I said, please, don't go through with the plan. And I said, if I don't make this flight, I'm going to burn your trailer down. And I said, I know you're angry, but it won't bring anyone back. It's only because more hurt. I had to eat on that flight, not in the mood to joke. So fun. Oh, man. You know how it go. And you conveniently had left one of your devices at the airport. Oh, the phone. Yeah, because Bluetooth doesn't connect when you're outside the airport. You know what, a certain distance way. You got to keep it on the plane. Smart, little. Yeah. That's scary, though. I mean, I can't imagine being on a flight where something like was going down. Yeah. Like that's terrifying. Oh, my gosh. I think about every time I'm on a flight. Well, who was a celebrity that said, like, you know, if I was all 9/11 planes, I would have, you know, taken out the terrorists. I would have like, there was a some celebrity. Yeah, I can't remember who it was. But that was just like, okay, dude, relax. You know what was weird was, I guess, I mean, obviously, I've never been to DC, but I had no idea that the Pentagon was like in down, like, it's like in DC. Like we're in the Arlington, huh? The Pentagon is? The Pentagon, okay. It's massive. It's huge. Yeah, huge. And it's like, I mean, there's the, the mind, like you can literally stand on a hill and see the Pentagon and the Lincoln Memorial. Really? I didn't know it was like that close. That's what I'm saying. I'm like, how did that thing get hit in 9/11? Like that Boeing 757 just went over the whole city and with no surveillance of it actually hitting the-- No surveillance. It would have been like, like, impossible, you know? It's very weird. What you're saying, if it was just an actor, why not hit the White House instead of some-- Oh, I mean, you could have been like, yeah. Well, because they said that one plane was going to go for the White House, but I'm like, they're right next to each other. Yeah. It's like, oh, it would have got shot down like the one the Pentagon. You want to talk about powerful PR, though, a phone call where the dude says, let's roll. And then the phone goes dead. And then that became George W's, like, punchline America. Let's roll. Like, had a martyr. Dude, it gives me fire at them. Right? Right. Dude, I remember that. There's a ton of people that had enlisted after that. Yeah. Arlington was Mark Wahlberg, by the way. Oh. That makes it. I'm going to leave that one. Yeah, Arlington was dope. Yeah, tell me about it. It was, I mean, it's huge. Yeah, humongous, beautiful, pristine. Now, is it a specific war that they every, it's every war? Every war. Yeah, if you, if you serve one day in the military, you qualify for a burial at Arlington. Yeah. But you had your, if you go to war and you get killed, like, right there, then you can, yeah, but, um, but it was your grandpa's memorial, right? Yes. That's so cool. So they did like the, was it the 21 gun salute? 21 gun salute. Yeah. And then the taps on the trumpet. Wow. They did the, the flag folding. Yeah. Super special. It was crazy. What did the girls think? Oh, yeah. They loved it. They thought it was super cool. They, um, they were so well behaved. And then they just sat and watched the whole thing. Yeah. Ada, I mean, Ada loves stuff like that. She just went, she didn't even ask me. She went and sat down and just like, watch the whole thing. Cool. My mom is one of six, so there's six siblings. Wow. And so everybody came and got to watch it. And it was. That's special. Really special. Yeah. I mean, the fans, they, they'll do the ceremony. And you don't even have to have like family members come, but they have people employed that will come and watch the ceremony. Wow. Um, and some defense higher up or something was there and shook everybody's hand. Cool. And that was super cool. Did you buy them on the bond? We could. It was a woman. How do you do? Dang. I'll take a lap. My bad. Anyway, it was cool. And they gave us all these bullets to take home. But of course, we flew. The shells. I was about to say. You could keep the shells. Well, they like handed them out. And then the lays like just so you know, if someone's driving, they should probably take all them because I would not bring those into the airport. Like, oh, yeah, that's smart. Yeah. Because anything took them. And he's going to get them in grade, which is cool. Very cool. And then we got to walk the whole thing and see the tomb of the unknown soldier. Um, we saw Kennedy's eternal flame. Is that what they call it? Yeah. His burial site with the eternal flame or whatever. I'm going to say this right now. Okay. It's cool, but they could do cooler. Yeah. For Kennedies. For Kennedies. Oh, no, I thought it was pretty cool. It's like, it's the, like, the biggest part of Arlington. I mean, what do you, what do you, where do you stop though? You know, like, how do you rank presidents? Yeah, I know. And the memorials were really cool. We saw the Lincoln Memorial monument. Memorial. Yeah. Yeah, monument. Sick. Dude, do you think you have an idea in your head of what it's going to look like? It's cool. That's cool. That's so cool. We can't wait to go. We're going to, you know, we're going to try to visit the Michaels sometimes. So, like, they're right there. So, I want to do, like, a trip. The girls would love it. I want to do a museum. Yeah. Oh, yeah, you did. You did the, uh, the history museum. Oh, yeah. The history museum. Terrible experience. You take any photos? You didn't do any ninja photos outside the Smithsonian. We stink. What are you doing? We stink. What are you doing? It was stress level 10. Yeah. Josh's therapist has given him, like, a, like, a ratio. What do you get? And there's, like, five activities. You're, like, on a scale of 110. Yeah. You should be doing fives for exposure therapy. The Smithsonian was, like, eight. Yeah. It was crazy. Okay. There were, like, a million people in there. It was hot. That would have been so funny to have my buddy approach you outside the Smithsonian. I would have been like, we would have sued you. No. But DC trip was panic attack-free. It was, yeah. Good job. Um, but. Yes. The morning that we were going to leave, we walked around the White House is crazy under construction. Like, you know what I'm saying? I think they're starting to set up for the.
UFC UFC yeah, they're doing a UFC in the front lawn front lawn. What's happening? It's it's pretty tough It's gonna be pretty America. I mean, I think when you watch it Well, you'll be like, you know what? Oh, let's do you know like what did you hear what Trump said about it? No, he says Like referring to parents like they built the Eiffel Tower for the world fair They decided to keep it up because it was just looks so good. Yeah, I'm considering keeping That'd be crazy Just off the gone Fights on the front lawn. They really do. I have fighting. Do you guys know who's fighting? Not a big line up It's unfortunately not great. Is McGregor not doing it. No, I dropped out like months ago But we went to one of the entrances that where the secret service was and we're like talking to him super nice guys And they're like yeah, you're probably your best spot to go see it is like around the corner or whatever The next morning At that same spot Really the same time we were there the next morning is when that dude started shooting at the secret service. Yeah And it's like dude, that's crazy It doesn't it made you feel weird, right? Yeah, it's like being in the exact same spot. Yeah, it's crazy It's a pedestrian got shot and we enter girls with this and stuff. That would have been so scary. I made a I made a joke that There was a time traveler and he got it one day wrong He put it in the wrong day. He was trying to get Joshua I missed it. We missed him. We took we missed the shot. Oh Godmari All right enough with politics. Yeah, not a great lineup, right? Like I mean it's got a couple fights like it but it was supposed to be like huge I'm like you just get make it epic. It'd be a 250 dude. Yeah, it's a good Saturday night It's not a good white house card. Yeah, hmm, which is lame. It's super lame I mean like because it's probably never happened again. No, it will never we're not going to keep it on the lawn So that's true. That's true, but we're not gonna like every Saturday Do you think a white house will still be standing in 250 more years? No, no really? I don't think so I wish it was the Hulk Hulk What I wish he was finding the Hulk Hulk Hogan yeah UFC Hulk Hogan. I know they know makes that day I really like him now. I just wish they had the Hulk He would have done it though too. He was alive. He would have been there He would have been the ringin out trouble Donald Trump was in his documentary talking about how much he loved They were friends. I mean you saw like like Donald Trump was a fan of wrestling early on like this wasn't like I remember when I was a kid. He Donald Trump was at WrestleMania and he shaved Vince McMahon's head. Oh my gosh It was crazy. Vince McMahon is a villain. Yeah, he's got a He's got a villain speaking of villains. Yeah, let's talk about Google. Yeah, for real. They're talking. You start it This is like out of Marvel villains. Yeah, what they're doing. So you saw it. We all saw all right. You know about it No, I'm completely in the dark. Oh my gosh Google buckle up chinny chin chin. So they're you know That's good. Hit the gong There we go So they're dropping new products Google's dropping a new probably. What do you think Google's working on right now? What is like up their alley? I guess Yeah, yes, if they had to create 60 million or like drop 60 million products 32 million I thought it was 60 32. I'm pretty sure it's 60 Maybe I just watched the video twice What do you think what do you think Google's dropping? I? Would think some sort of like holographic That would be cool. That would be cool. And that would be right up their alley. I would be right up their alley. What about mosquitoes gin? First of all who's counting the mosquito how do you know it's 32 million just say 30 million I know well It's like that joke from neighborhood or it's like what do you mean you're counting bugs? Let me go over and count all these bugs day one as a scientist They're making mosquitoes. They're I don't think they're making them but I don't I don't know if they are in the lab They're breeding them. Okay, they're breeding them. They're not that's all like like bio and so they're breeding these mosquitoes with a certain Bacteria that they're gonna release in Cal for they're trying to get released in California and Florida and the goal is for these male mosquitoes Which the news says they don't bite and then later they said Sometimes they bite because they're males males don't buy males. They're all male typically don't bite. Yeah. Well, that's I mean But the males do think about that. Yeah, the goal is that they carry this bacteria They mate with the females and make them sterile So it's a basically reduce the mosquito population by Stereolizing the females or the eggs So so we would lose out on mosquitoes then The plan is to reduce. I thought it was that the males were already sterile, but carried the bacteria They all no no they they are they carry the bacteria to mate with the females to make them sterile. Got you Yeah, also Google aims to release 64 million Good mosquitoes in California, Florida. That's what I want to apologize 32 million in Florida. Oh, yeah We took your number and have to exactly how dare you you're right. I'll dare you you're right Didn't didn't you guys watch Lilo and stitch? We did we did isn't the mosquitoes like that's the only reason we don't get obliterated by aliens Oh, yeah, oh That's kind of there's a deeper agenda. Yeah, that's funny. Wow. I'm kind of about it except like what do you mean? Not the alien part? The mosquitoes if it works if they're plan work, you know, they've done it already plan works. Let me just throw a scenario out there for you These mosquitoes carry a bacteria that make another creature sterile. Oh, no What's to say that they can't work its way into us where we're this is silo in real life. Oh, no Yeah, a sterile mosquito still needs to eat How much I mean it's mosquitoes worth a bacteria Although a mosquito's worth a bacteria gives us like malaria that's it. Yeah If you can't get people to take vaccines you bring the vaccines to them and what and what a better way to package the thing They've already been doing it There's like multiple cases in the Florida keys where they've actually used this before they're like running tests in South Florida already No, my goodness, and you know who mosquitoes love? Jane my daughter It's very strange. It's very I mean we just aren't leaving bugs alone, dude Billionaires in their bugs and I get it because Google is obviously as the manpower. They have the money It's course. It's like good like what do they do Google? Why Google but that's what I'm saying they have the money they have the resources. That's the manpower like that's why people are saying Oh, that's why Google's doing it. That's why yeah, I mean they are all about advancing civilization in a sense with technology And here's a thing in a in a way let's play devil's advocate just like you're dead. I'm Stop it right now Jane good all just that's all that's exactly What do you say about Jane good all? Well, it was the master class of Jane good all and my dad saw it and goes Like what's she gonna do teachers to talk to apes? No, Josh was like no like you like like you know like conservation and like you know I'm like the investment advancement of like human life and taking care of others So funny I guess because the first thing I was like I'm like if Google is gonna put all their manpower into something it should be Solving world hunger or something that like really affects humanity But in a way these mosquitoes are getting people got all over the place They can help people in Africa that suffer from malaria and stuff like Florida and California That is the question I think why those two specifically Alaska and Montana they have their mosquitoes are crazy too I don't think I didn't encounter a single mosquito in California. Yeah, I don't think I did either No, I can't remember. It needs to be humid. He's you know, you need water. Yeah, there's not a lot of water over there I mean I was watching Some bike ride in Alaska and they had them like they were crazy up there. Oh, that's nuts. Yeah They got gnats too like biting gnats that are awful. Oh, I I Legitimately I didn't have my phone on me what I were or I also would have taken a picture But it's still probably wouldn't have done a justice. I had a mosquito land on me the other day And I literally would have swatted away the only reason I did it was because I could not fat like believe How big it was I'm telling you it was this big not I think I have a photo of one on my phone It was Google mosquito in saying like I couldn't believe how like it was the size of like a small butterfly My gosh It blew my mind I couldn't believe it and then so you look at it You're like I don't look at that for a second pop get it like that. Yeah, don't let it go on to procreate You get it it punched me back like that's how big it was like bruise my finger They were yeah, I got it, but it's like geez Louise here. I've seen how mr. Keto sucks your blood like the video Yeah, I don't yeah, I don't want to watch it So don't tell me it's like it has like what it was like four or six needles Mm-hmm to go in whoops to go in and separate the skin Another needle goes down and then another needle It's crazy finds the the blood that's why I'm fine with them being annihilated by this Google race
If that's the true thing, yeah. But yeah, I always think about Bugs Life. Do you remember when they're at the bar and they have like the poo platter? Yeah, and then they stick it in and they-- Yeah, yeah. - Can you know if your movie references? Why are you so different from your brother? - I've seen every movie he's referenced. - I just like referencing stuff. - What do you give them? - I don't know. - And you didn't watch movies. - I like Interstellar, there you go. - What do you like about it? - I mean, it's just emotional. Like the scene where he watches his kids grow up. - Yeah, it's the worst. Like if I talk about that, like I'll just, you know, I'll get emotional just talking about that scene. - But it's a thought-provoking movie, is it? - Yeah. - It's, yeah. - I mean, well, well made, well written, well filmed. - It's my favorite Timothy Shalamey. - I think within a year, you have to rewatch Interstellar. Give it a shot, because I think it may be the parenthood aspect of it. - Oh, interesting. - Because I, like, there's movies that didn't affect me at all when I watched them, and then I watch them as a parent, and I'm like, that gets me so angry. - I would say I loved Interstellar before I was a parent though. - Well true, but I never been on a different level then. - Is there like a football team that you can't stand because of how in love with the team, the fans are, and proximity to you? - No, I support everyone. - Taylor Swift. - Yeah, yeah. - I think Interstellar has been that for me, where I would have given it like a decent mid score. Like, it's not the best movie I've ever seen, but it would have been mid, but everybody else calling it a 10 when I thought it was a 7 has just made me, like wired me to want to argue with people about why it's not a 10. I raise you, I camera just flashed. I take, I take your Interstellar and I raise you a lord of the rings. - Okay, slow down. - Exactly, you don't like it or you don't. - I'm saying I groan to love it and I have an appreciation for it, but they're growing up. Everyone being psycho about Lord of the Rings, I'm like, I just don't get it. I've seen it, I'm like, it's fine. Like, it's not that great. No, I still love it and respect it, but it's like, no, but it's also just not my taste. Like, I'm not a big, like, fans. - Yeah, but you like horror movies. - I like all types, but it's just, I don't know. - I can't do that. - It's like, it's the era. It's like the, I don't know. It's just something about like the elves and the, the, that era. I don't even know how to describe it, but. - What's happening? - Um, it's being a lord of the rings. - Yeah. - Do you hear about what the Pope said? - No, I didn't hear. You told me about it a little bit, but. - All right. - Well, what do you say? - Something pretty profound. - Okay. - And he's going from the Pope head-to-head with the industry. - I tell you more about it. Right after that, don't know how to go anywhere. What's going on, guys, Andrew here? I want to tell you about our Patreon account.

(upbeat music) - Hey, before we get into it, just so you guys know, I brought something. - Oh. - I brought something for you guys. - Can we do it now? - Yeah. - Can we do it on the pod? - Yeah. - Let's do it now. - Let's do it. - It's a gun. (laughing) - Give time, give time, give time with Jin! - The gifts are always from Jin. - Jin! - So, whoa! - I brought this box that I've been holding on to. - Heck yeah. - And so long story short, I've got like a display case in my house, and I wasn't gonna rip this, but I was like looking at it and there's like a little hole in the corner. - Oh. - I'm like, why is there a hole? It, anyways, my daughter, my five year old daughter, you know, I was like, I asked both girls to, you know, pull up, they both are standing in front of me. Like one of them's, you know, guilty as sin. The other one's like, it's not me, you know, so, so I identified who did it. She was like, oh, I really just wanna open it. But anyway, so. - She cracked it, she tried to get into it. - Yeah, so like, like any, any good dad would, instead of laying her open it, we're gonna open it here. (laughing) - You're gonna show her this clip. - Yeah, and we're gonna, we're gonna, I don't know, maybe hit something cool, so. - Heck yeah, let's do it. - You guys want to? - Yeah, let's do one. - All right, sweet. - That was a cool case. - Yeah, I mean, I'll just work on here. How should we do this? - I'm holding, I'm holding your mic. How fast can you do this without screwing something up? - Are you invisible to the people, Andrew, because of your camera? - No, I got it, I got a battery in it, but we're just kind of on like a timer of sorts. - Drop a comment if you can see Andrew. - I was gonna give a, give us each a pack, and just let us all do one pack simultaneously. - Yeah, that works. - I don't know the value of anything. - Give us, give us high low, like in here. - I mean, high, like, I think like $4,000, like there's like, like this itself is like, I think like you can buy it maybe 150, like on market, but it's normally like a $60 box. - And it's finest keepers, right? - I think that's how we play it. - Okay. (laughing) - Seriously, you gotta set the order something. - There is a gold charge in here, so. - How much is that worth? - I think like, so if you get them graded and they're like a 10, they can be significantly more, but like the raw value of a gold charge there's probably like $300, $400, something like that. - Back to the ad, so. - You better be clear on who gets to keep what before Andy opens like a million dollar card. - I don't think there's a million dollar card. - Pretty sure he was clear that it was a gift. - What is circulating in our kid's toy chest right now that in 20 years is gonna be. - Do you remember beanie babies was like? - Oh, yeah, dude. - Do you remember that? Do you ever see that photo of the husband and wife and divorce court on their hands and knees going through their beanie baby collection 'cause they were splitting through the divorce and so they had it, they were sitting down and there's, - Oh my God. - It's crazy. - Bizarre. - All right, who wants to go first? - Yeah, okay. - You tell us what. - Should we be like a reveal video? - We do it all the same time. - This is what I have. - How about, I do mine first and you watch how I do it and then you guys know how to do it. - I'll do the opposite. - He's open it with your teeth, yeah. - I rip it. - All right, so you open it, right? And then there's gonna be like a yellow card on it. You don't need the yellow card, get rid of that. And then you take the top card and you put it underneath. - What's the point of that? - The point is this is gonna be an energy card. It's worth nothing. - Okay. - So and then the most valuable would be in the back. - Got it. - Okay, and so like if you're doing it with the camera. - Oh yeah, so you just, you know, you just slowly or quickly whatever, you just like get rid of them like that. (gasps) - So on the whole like Catholic church thing, it has been blessed by the Pope that. - Pokemon? - Pokemon's not demonic. - Good. - Well, my grandma would say otherwise. - Yeah. - And she would say the Pope is a devil. - Your grandma went to Benny Han's conferences, though, too. - I know, we trust the Pope. (laughs) - Good to go. - Well, I think you guys know how to do it. So go ahead. - Dive in? - Yeah, just dive in. We'll see what the last one of this is. - Am I supposed to tell you which one's valuable? That one. - I'll tell you. (laughs) - That's like a $2 card, maybe $1. - All right. - Some like that. - What do you sell Pokemon cards? - eBay, Facebook Marketplace. - Okay. - To your friends and family. - Gold card, put down. - Yes. - It's the jump one underneath. - There you go. - Boom. - I like the gold card, though. - Electric, hey, there's a Pikachu chase card in there. So that's a good sign. - Okay. - It's an electric. You got it upside down. You got it. - Idiot. (laughs) - I see something. There's something good in there. - Ooh. - Okay. - That one's golden. - No, it's not. (laughs) - I wasn't that good. - Oh, darn. - It's saying it. I'm gonna be the lucky one. I'm so lucky. All right, I'm gonna go next. - All right. - Did you just lift it from the top? - Yeah. (laughs) - You hit the wrong way, Lil. - Dang it. (laughs) - It doesn't matter now. - Why? - But now they're killed the best card. - The last three could be good. So she's not fully cooked yet. - I'm gonna keep going. - Ooh. - I'm gonna have to, I'm like thinking. - Whoa! - What is that? (laughs) - I was like, I knew it. - I was about to do a fake reaction, but then you freaked out. - I was like, wait a minute, I think I did it. I thought you were doing it with me. (laughs) - I don't know what any of these are. - I don't either. I'm so lost. - I know my kids are gonna love you, so. - This is the seeing part of the listening podcast. - All right. - Did they give Pokemon cards to Ada at the urgent care? - Dang. - Okay, I'm in the last, this is three. - Okay. - Two. - I think you're cooked. - Yeah. - You take that down and you take the top on the bottom. - Put it on the bottom. Okay. - No, no, no, no, no. - Huh? - Yeah, he's doing all right. - I know what I'm doing. - All right, I thought he was the other way. - No. - No, this is perfect. - Let's try to use Mark as he wants to see it. - I need a tool now. - I need a fiscal value every reveal. - Each of these are like 10 cents. - Dang. - I mean, I throw these out. - Dang it. - But then the last three.
- You can make like a Pokemon art piece, that's shiny. - And then, no, cooked. - Day! - All right, here we go. - It's dumb, it's pretty yellow. Top goes to bottom. - You spent 60 bucks on this pack? - Yeah, on the whole box. - You'd be good at game. - Well, they would be like, it's like 150. - Well, I pulled this, you should tell them how much money you just won. - Yeah. - This is a new problem for my brother. - It's not, it's not a problem. (laughing) I just, yeah, I want like $1,400. - Oh my gosh. - There's plenty of poker. Dude, are you revealing the last one already? - No, I flipped it. - Okay. - I don't know what I'm looking at. I got a peeka. - Yeah. - (gasps) - 'Cause I know that one. - I know that guy. - Can you see these? - I guess I should be showing you. - Yeah, I mean, sure. - 'Cause you can't. - Well, you should show the camera. - Yeah. - It's okay. - You know something, fellas, he's in the eyes of the folder. - You do it pretty quick. - Hmm. - Just rip. I think you're good. - Yeah, that's the only way you kind of seen them all. - You're the only one. - You would have pulled a gray one, you wouldn't have been saying, "What is the last one?" - You suck. - You might have done it wrong. That shouldn't be the last one. - Yeah, I had one in front of the energy card. - Yeah, look at that. You got a full art, dude. - Yeah, idiot. - That was his first one he put. - Andrew what? - That was the first one? - I flipped, I put it in. - Yeah, in front of the energy card, that's a good, I mean, I don't know. - I knew what I was doing. - Maybe like $3 or something like that. - Heck yeah. - Pulled a perfect-- - Here's what we'll do. I'll cut that down to the funny parts for the pod. And then we'll do a full on Patreon. You can see the full car back. You won't believe the car that Lily pulls. You have to go to patreon.com/ingeserbutterfly. - I have four more. So at the end of the podcast, we could just like-- - We'll do it for the Patreon episode. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I swear-- - Was it become a part cool up going in? Card pulling. - Excuse me. - What? - Part cooling. Card pulling channel. Don't what happened to you yesterday. - I have horrific brain fog. I think it's like something going out of my body. But I went to public see us today. And I was like a walking zombie, like, interacting with people and that good. But Aida's been asking for oatmeal. And ever since she ate that oatmeal in Nashville with your kids. And we go to the aisle and I'm showing her all the flavors. And there's one called Harvest Apple. But I was like, look at this one, Aida. Arvest Apple. And I was like, what? And I was like, Arvest Apple. What? Wait a minute. And it freaked me out so bad. We had to walk over. - She sat there and I was like, no. Arvest Apple. - And I was like, what? And then it made me dizzy a little bit. Because I was freaking out. - That's how to stroke. And I was like, we didn't get any oatmeal. We walked away. (laughing) - Is it him? - Breaking out. - Oh, but speaking of Arvest Apple. - Yeah. - Question, go to a question, go to a question, go to a lily with a question in the restaurant on mine. - Okay. Here we go. - Here we go. Buckle up. - I have two questions. If you lost the ability to be embarrassed, do you think you would be better or worse off? - That'd be so much better off. - Better. Everyone would be better. - I think the opposite. I think it'd be worse off. - What do you mean? You should have someone's confidence. - Like socially, I might-- - I have seen-- - Oh, you can actually make a fool of yourself, but-- - Because I do it regularly already. - No. - So my small amount of shame that exists in me is what's keeping me having friends. That's fair. - That is the tough thing. 'Cause you see that to go on a serious bit of it, where you see people parenting their kids very poorly, like being almost borderline abusive, and then you're like, you should be embarrassed that you're doing this in public. - Yeah. - And so, for the wrong person, embarrassment, like I've seen people comment, but people need to be embarrassed more. - Yeah. - But yeah, there's a good balance. - Where did good old fashioned shame go? - We should be brain. I don't know what it will be. - I think I get too embarrassed sometimes. I think getting too in my head, and I feel like it holds me back sometimes. So I think I would go for that. What about you, Jen? - I feel like I don't get really that embarrassed. - I can see that. - So I don't think I really need to be less embarrassed, 'cause that's what-- - Yeah. - Did I say that right? - Yeah. - Depends what you think. - I don't think I need, yeah, yeah. I think I'm comfortable where I'm at. - And your level of embarrassment? - Yeah, I don't think that-- - Narcissistic answer, I'm good. I don't know the question. I don't know if we're talking about being embarrassed or not, but I don't need to change that. - The question was that if you could not be embarrassed in certain situations, do you think that would better you or make you worse? - Yeah. - I think it would make me worse. - Okay. - So you're content at your level of embarrassment? And that's good. Self-awareness is good. - Yeah. You should be more. - Or narcissistic? - No, I don't think so. - That's what he said. - Well, if you're not, if you're like, yeah, embarrassment, yeah, there's like a level of confidence to say I don't need embarrassment. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - What about you? - I think everybody needs to be embarrassed. - Mm. But like Josh, he doesn't need to be more embarrassed. - But is this a yes, is this a yes, no lever? Or like a spectrum? - It's per person, right? - It's per person. It's a entirely subjective, like if Josh was less embarrassed, that would be a good thing. That's what we're working toward. - Yeah. But per person, is it a lever or is it about like, are you embarrassed or not? - No, he sounds super narcissistic. - Hold on, let me think of what you're saying. My brain's not working. - I'd be funnier if I was less embarrassed. - That's why I feel like when you're doing like carrying stuff like downtown, like no. I just don't like being, I don't know, but it's also I don't like being like, affecting other people because of my comedic bits. - Like you're conscientious. - Yeah, I think I'm too conscientious to like a point where it's, but I mean, maybe somebody else would say differently about me. I don't know. - I think you're very conscientious. - Yeah. - I think you're extremely conscientious. - How would you know? (laughing) - Get me, get me going. - All right, good one. What's your second one? - But I don't know the Andrews answer. Can I ask the question again? - If you lost the ability to be embarrassed, do you think you would be better or worse off? - Be worse off. - Okay. - Imagine if we had a gas light, Andrew, every week, we'd be like, we'd have to reiterate. It's a simple yes or no. (laughing) - It's a simple yes or no. - It's a question. - Okay. This is another one. What's the least amount of money that would be buried in the bottom of a porta potty that you would be willing to dive for? - When you say buried. - When you say dive, like at the bottom. (laughing) - I mean, that's a lot of effort. I'm putting a lot of force into that. - It is a highly productive porta potty. - Okay, in Florida? - In Florida, in the heat. - In the summertime. - Nobody bothered to put it in. - I'd like a Coachella or something, like a kind of event, like a music festival. - Not with young people, think. - Like a barbecue festival. - Yeah. - Okay. - Or even better, this is what I'm telling Josh, my active nightmare is a car show with a rock 'n' roll element, like a live music rock 'n' roll element. (laughing) - There's gotta be food. There's any NASCAR event? - Yeah, it makes my stomach royal. - So like a NASCAR porta potty? - Yeah. - Daytona 500. - There's money at the bottom. What's the least amount of money you would be willing to dig for? - And once I get the money. - You can have a shower, you can do anything. - Like, yeah, like the money's good. - I'm not gonna. - You're not gonna reach down, you're not gonna reach down and grab it though. - It's under some stuff. - Okay. - It might be to the left, to the right, you had to kind of look for it. - My mind goes five grand. - That's where mine went. - Ew. - I think I'd be, I think-- - $5,000. - That's life-changing money to me right now. (laughing) - Yeah, that would be amazing. I think so. I think five grand's my lowest. - Yeah, for like a couple of minutes in misery. - Oh. - I mean, I'd be happy with a lot more. But, I mean, I think five grand would be my lowest. But who knows, I mean, at the end of the month when things, you know, you rents do and all that stuff, it's like, 1,000 bucks down there. - I don't know. - I mean, another question, just to like gauge it. Like, would you do that like once a month, you know, for like, you know, more, you get a house, right? - If I was guaranteed five grand a month. - Yeah. - Or even less though, you know what I mean? Like, depending on-- - It makes me easier. - No, I wouldn't go, I don't think I would go. I mean, I think, I think $2,500 is my lowest on a monthly basis. A one-timer, $5,000. - Yeah, there's a bow I want that's $3,800 bucks and I do it for the bow. So that's my goal. - Wow, okay. - Oh my gosh. - I would do it just so I can provide (laughing) for my children. (laughing) - I want a bigger one. - That's where I'm going in my head is like, 'cause you guys are saying five and like, here's the thing. I can be easily swayed. If somebody says like, this is the value of something, I can go there. I also can do hard things. That's something, I've got to switch in my brain that I could flip. - For sure. - When I'm presented with something difficult. - But you walked in here with that question, with a number. - Yeah, you did. - So I want to know that number. - It was nothing south of 10. It was nothing south of 10. - What was it? - I mean, I would do it for 10,000. - Yeah. - Yeah, I would do it for 10,000. - Under that, oh my goodness.
- I would do it for a really good pack of Pokemon cards. (laughing) - That's what I was gonna say. Like, this is so, this is like depressing. Like, just to get these two out of that box, like I would do it to just get that box back, you know, unopened. - I mean, I've done, (laughing) - That's so sad. - Oh no. - I mean, we've all done worse things for less money. I've scrubbed toilets. I've sold newspapers door to door in the heat. - I've done, I mean, there's a lot of stuff. - Asking my worst job I've ever had. - What's the worst job you've ever had soon? - If he told you the worst job he's ever had? - I'm sure. - Is it cheekfully? - No. - No. - That's a great job. - I was just asking. (laughing) - So, it's not my fault. It's Andrew's fault. I wanted to enter a skimboarding contest. I didn't have any money. My mom said the only way that I'll pay for you to do it is if you go get a job. So, I got a job that my brother had already worked 'cause it's in the family. - There are one of two jobs you might be mentioning right now. That's how bad I was at. - So, I was the statue of Liberty on the side of the road. - Okay, that's the worst. - Yeah, we've heard this story. - Yeah. - Like, my friends from high school, they saw me, they pulled over, took pictures of me. - That's so funny. - That's a bad one. - And yeah, your face is shown. - I didn't have an iPad or iPod or anything like that. - I had one of those radios, they put a 9-volt battery in. I would list in the radio on the side of the road. And I would just stand there looking just miserable. I would count cars. I think, you know, two hour shift, 3,000 cars, easy. You know, you just, I would just legit count. - That's why you're gonna poke her. You just gotta get the numbers of cars. - Nobody would walk away like $10. - There's no way that pays off for the company. - I mean, the fact that we all know what the, - Yeah, what's the company, what's the company like? - What's the, like, we know like that. - What they are. - What they are and that they have a mascot on the side of the road all the time. Like, we know that. - And if you're like, it's in our head. That's a brand. - TurboTax is confusing me. Taxes are doing like three days. Where do I go to get my taxes done? Oh yeah, that's where I get my taxes done. Actually, I go to the same place I used to work at. - Shout out Jack. - So it's worked out for them because you did it. You were the, the statue liberty. - Yeah, and you know what, it worked out for me too. 'Cause like all their clients are people. - That's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that was their long game. We'll get them. - It's our family. It's like my mom goes there too. So like the whole. - It's a pyramid scheme. - Dude, that's a liberty scheme. There's, you just unlocked a memory for me. Some talk about things that you do for money. I used to work at a newspaper in circulation. And on the side, they would have like, these big third Thursdays in Joplin, like where it would just be art festival all downtown is super cool. But they had this big mascot costume. It was just a rolled up newspaper. I mean, the thing was like nine feet tall. And I would, they'd be like, we'll pay you like a hundred bucks to walk around in the summer in this thing. - Oh my God. - But it wouldn't show your face. And so that's kind of one of the reasons why I was like embarrassment obviously. Like it was like, I don't really want it. So I would just walk around and just be a little, like happy newspaper. And it was the best because it was like my, the closest I'll ever be to Batman because I would just walk up to people that I would see and I would know. And then I'd just be like dancing with them. And they're like, oh, fully. And then I would whisper like, Chris, it's good to see you. And then I'd walk away. And the people would just be like, what is, who is that? Who's in the newspaper that knows me? And I would just drop inside jokes every time I saw something. - That's so funny. - So good. - Liberia is why embarrassment needed to be hired. - I see. - So I would have dodged. - But I love people that just embraced that though. - Dude, I got hit with a slushy. - You told me that, that's so funny. - And a dude with a train horn on his frickin' truck. And I'm still not sure which of the ton of lifted trucks drove up and down that road. But every day some dude would wait to get right next to me. And only if I wasn't looking that direction and he'd hit that thing. - You know how boring something has to be to almost fall asleep standing up? (laughing) - Yeah. - Yeah. - It's bad. - It's bad. - What is that vine when the guy's like spinning the quiz no sign like crazy? Like really good? Like he's a really good sign flipper. And he's like, which way's the quiz now? (laughing) - Andrew, do you got a beat for us? - Yeah. - Oh, beat. - Oh, that's so loud. (laughing) - Andrew's got a beat. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And he's gonna show us right now. - Right now? - Right now. - Yeah. - Right now. - Now. - Show us that beat. - Right now. - Mm. - Okay, got a couple. Let's just start with the shorter one. You ready? - What's the shorter one? You sent three videos. - Three. - Yeah, there's an outdoors one and then a. - Oh, the outdoors one, you can pull that up. That's just the mosquito that Andy was talking about. Like if you just wanna see like how big those are, I literally smash one on the dash of my Jeep and left it there. 'Cause I was like, no one's gonna believe that mosquito is this big exist. - Yeah. - Mine was like two feet tall. - You didn't send it to me, did you? - No, we got a chat here, look at this. - Is this a mosquito? - All right, whatcha doing? - You're gonna skip the audio on the mosquito. - Oh my goodness. - Just to see how big. - Are we doing the food one first? - Yeah, let's do the food one. Three, two, one. - I got a volume. - Is that a penguin? - Is that a penguin? - Caption says Applebee's count here. - Oh, that's so bad. - Golly! - What is that? - It's a mouse head. - Oh my gosh, what's a rat, bro? - A brother. - I just gagged so hard, I threw up. - Oh, that's so bad. - Can you be chopping something? - Well, you've seen Ratatouille, right? - That stuff comes in bags, bro. That comes from like a machine, a rat got in and it was sliced. - At the factory. - And it's all rolled in Italian dressing or something, too. - There's that gag me so hard, bro. The next one is just unhinged Andrew's feed took a turn. - Okay, ready, two, one. - What do you do if this guy approaches you? - Ah! (laughing) - That's it, that's it. - That's it, that's it. - Woo! - Mama Mia. - I also love that whenever Lily opened the Applebee's lunch, the first question was, is that penguin? (laughing) - Dude, you were watching Renault Netflix is penguin town. It's so good. - What is it? - It's so funny, it's a natural, whatever, it's like an actual show about real life penguins, migrating to South Africa, but they do it like a reality show where it's couples and it, 'cause they meet for life. And they're couples and they're trying to like get their babies to grow up and to migrate on their own. And Josh and I have been cackling at this show. - It's very fun. - It's fun? - Oh yeah. - Was it good for kids too? - Yeah, they do, they do, it's natural geographic, so there is stuff. - Like murder? - No, like penguin. - Oh, like natural geographic. - What did I say? - That's what she said. - Is that natural, what is it? - Oh, it's natural geographic, you know what I'm saying? - It's a natural geographic. (laughing) - Love it so much. - Yeah, there is, and that's part of what Josh and I are laughing about is like they pan over and there's like two penguins under the car and a parking lot. (laughing) - Good for them. Speaking of penguin counts. Let's talk about AI town. Ooh, AI town. - So last episode we talked about AI data centers. - Yes. - What not? It's just like, they're popping up everywhere now. And a lot of people are saying, "No, don't do it." It's the one thing Republicans and Democrats are agreeing. - Really? - They're bad. No one wants data centers. - Yeah. - Like that's-- - You're saying they're agreeing on getting that-- - Yeah, like hey, like we're good, right? We don't want to do this. - Then how are they existing? - Like, as far as the officials are like, "No, then money's just winning every time." - Yeah, it's the past. - Wait, why are they so bad? Just land. - Land, I mean, it has climate effects. Big time climate effects. It's taking away, you know, yeah, it's just-- - What is that? - What if we put 'em in space? - Ooh. - Why don't we? - What is that aspect that they were talking about where it puts off like around a data center? It goes up something like 15 degrees. - Yeah, they're talking about the one in Utah, the one that Mr. Wonderful wants to make. - Yeah. - And they said like the nighttime air temperatures go up by like 20 something degrees. It uses like nine, I don't know. - Make up a number. - A ton of water. - Cattilla Watts. - Cattilla Watts. - Oh. - In a lot of water. - Yeah, I don't know. - But Envita, do you guys know, is it Envita? - Vitya. - Envita. - They are proposing that you can get your own, they'll pay you to basically attach an AI data center to your house. So it looks like an AC unit. You'll get free power, free internet, and upwards of $22,000 a year. - Slow down. - Sure. So I mean. - That's a little too suspicious. (laughing) - Well, to me that makes more sense than taking over acres and acres. - Yeah. - Like involve and incentivize your civilians. - Yeah. - Like get them to do it. - But if the counter argument is grid impact, it still packs that punch. - Yeah, but it's gonna happen either way. You might as well incentivize your people to do it. - Yeah, I was thinking about how,
Apparently rumor has it, they're putting one in a marine land like on the coast right there on the beach. Really? And that is just so sad. Yeah, it's all wacky, dude. That's very strange though that they would be doing that. I mean, it's probably smart because they're seeing the feedback that people are getting. And then we're like, we're not going to be slowing down on building these things. Like, it's going to be happening more. I mean, like, when was the first one put up? Like in the, like the big one. Memphis, right? Oh, the, so it's like stargate. Yeah, so it's going to just keep it. That was the past couple of years. So, I mean, we're going to be having these things pop up everywhere. I think they're still building stargate, the opening eye one. Gotcha. They're probably going to continue to build on to it. Yeah. I saw there was like a viral post talking about like the areas that like succumb to like fire and drought. And those being the areas that all these data centers are coming up. Which is like, got me fired up, but then when I tried to pull up like current maps of like the areas I couldn't get up. I mean, you can like, roughly, it's like southeast, but like I couldn't get it to like line up dead on. So I don't know. I want to know like, because it's easy to take statistics and make them say anything. So I really want to know like, what is the actual impact of one of these data centers? Like, because they talk about water consumption and overheating stuff. And it's like, obviously, if that's really what it's doing, like we're getting in a situation where people aren't going to have drinking water. Then the answer is a hard no. That's the, I remember Sam Altman, they were talking about that. Because the whole thing was like, because we're going to make the work. They're like, all these billionaire tech dudes who are just like, with this whole climate change thing and going green and all that stuff. But like the data centers are building is the complete opposite of that. Sam Altman is like, well, the goal, if I remember this right, is like the goal is for AI to come to show us how to do that. Isn't that the big cop out that they keep saying? It's like, we'll put everything on hold, including, you know, making sure people have clean drinking water in the world. But AI will teach us how to give them clean drinking water when it's using all of the clean drinking water. Our God AI will teach us. Yeah, it's crazy. You know what's funny about climate change, or two, is that I did not believe in it. And then we went to the beach for a week after DC zero crabs on that beach. Yeah, like we always get crab hunting at night, you know, for sure. Yeah, get buckets of crabs. Yeah, not a single crab. That is interesting. In fact, when we first got there, yeah, when we got there, we probably found like 20 dead crabs on the beach. Well, they just dredged that whole area, didn't they? So that's possibly, that's what they did. They messed it all up. Maybe it's displacement. That's a conspiracy we should look into and talk to you. There's people like who are super against re-dredging. Like it's a way of just passing money around, but it like doesn't, they call them re-nourishment. But you're ripping out the barrier sand bar, which is underwater, which does as much for impact on the coast and slowing in a surge or slowing an incoming surge. But so it's like shifting stuff around, but in doing that, you completely upset the ecosystems that naturally live in those places. Okay. It's just the man, the white man allegedly happening a lot. Guys has a funny campaign and t-shirt idea that we'll talk about on Patreon. Yeah. Okay. For those of you that are getting involved. Yeah, it just makes you wonder. There's a lot of money being moved around. And a lot of people being promised and having a cash in. Like it's completely unrelated, but it was some dumb art installation for a street name in Tempe, Arizona. And it goes across the street and it's like, you know, Mills Avenue or whatever. And it's cost two million dollars. And it was the town's money. And people are like, what are we doing? Yeah, that's crazy. Two million dollars. This thing costs two million dollars. And this is like, well, this is what we're spending it on. Crazy. Then proof roads, we're not going to do anything else like that. No, this is what we're going to do. Dude, speaking of money going to the right places, I'm pretty stoked about the property tax thing happening in Florida. There's a lot of upset people about it. Why? Because they rushed it through without a proposed tax. Because the property tax is fun, police, fire, education. And they pushed it through without necessarily a solution to fill in that. And it's like 22 billion million something bug. I don't know, it was a lot of money. Yeah. That property tax is make for fire, police, education. Like, what's the solution? I think we're going to, we're going to figure it out. We'll get it. Well, that's, that's interesting. Because I know there's the totalitarian side of police force and it becoming federal, which we're not for. But I know with education, they were really trying to push privatized charter schools. So I bet that's the unspoken solution for it. And just thinks that like you hear about teachers in this nation, they all say, do not teach in the South. Particularly do not teach in Florida because they're so underpaid and under resourced already. His wife has the craziest story. When she, when she moved to Florida from Tennessee, which Tennessee paid better, school was better, lower classroom. But when she got to her new school, got hired, they were like, so this is the, I forget how many kids it was, was a crap ton. But they're like, also we're a new, we're a different kind of learning environment. You can build your own walls. They like shared a big open room. And she had to like put up partitions like cabinets and stuff in between. Goodness gracious. Imagine, like imagine being an elementary school and like the third grade class is next to the fourth grade class and divided by basically this wall of sweaters. Oh my goodness. They actually, they just shut that school down. That makes a lot of sense. It seems like a good opportunity for the teachers and students to build stuff together. I mean arts and crafts. Come on. Speaking of shutting stuff down, the Pope wants to shut down AI. Get him. Get him Leo. What? Yeah, so the Pope, he just, I don't know what it's called. Do you know what it's called? It's like a manifesto. But the Pope, he says artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed. And he said the word is strong. I know, but deliberately chosen because this moment needs words capable of attracting attention, awakening consciousness and indicating paths forward for humanity. To disarmed does not mean rejecting technology, but preventing it from dominating humanity. Yeah. And then he quoted Gandalf. Oh, I've heard about this. Yeah. It's like the first time a Pope is quoted Lord of the Rings or something. He also said six, seven recently, which is hilarious. Did he really? Oh, I did see that. Yeah, the kids like, can you say six? And someone's like, can you please tell me this is AI? So funny. But it's funny because it's like, he quoted Gandalf as like a rebuttal to Peter Teal and a quote. Yeah. So Peter Teal and a quote, he was talking easy, being interviewed. And they're talking about Lord of the Rings. This is what Peter Teal said. Peter Teal said, Gandalf's the crazy person who wants to start a war. Mordor is a technological civilization based on reason and science. Outside of Mordor, it's all sort of mystical and environmental and nothing works. He's just trying to make Mordor the good guy. The good guy. I don't know Lord of the Rings well, but that's wrong. But then the Pope comes up there and quotes Gandalf in this speech about AI. Oh, so Pope came later, his speech. Yeah. Okay. So Peter Teal introduced Lord of the Rings. And the Pope. I was he like so aggressive, like, what? Why was he so aggressive against Gandalf? Like, I don't know. I don't know. Also, it makes you like even more villainous. I know. Who's running his speeches? But you know, Leo was behind the scenes just like we were. Like, listening to that. Like, has this guy seen Lord of the Rings? Like, come on. It's Tolkien. He's one of us. But the quote from Gandalf to the Pope said is, it's not our part to master all the tides of the world. But to do what is in us for the sucker of those who's, who are those years wherein we are set. Uppering the evil in the fields that we know so that those who live after may have a clean earth to tell. Ooh. So that was his quote from Gandalf. Like, basically the opposite of what Peter Teal said. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Teal is a quote unquote Christian. Yeah. What was that? I don't even know. He has some title he's invented for it, which basically means I determine what I want to believe. And I'm labeling it something I shouldn't be able to. Yeah. Like a fake Christian. So kind of like a, yeah. Kind of like a diagnosed. Like just because you put church on the building doesn't mean people worship Jesus inside it. It's like he's for the morality of Christianity, but not fully. Yeah. Only the parts that he chooses. But how do we feel about him doing lectures on the anti-Christ? Oh, I know. And he just said, more door is the hero. Oh, I know. And Tim Dillon has a funny spit about it, which we talked about it when it happened. But Tim Dillon was like, the anti-Christ is giving a talk about the anti-Christ. Yeah. It's just so on the nose and weird. Guys, we all need to be a golem. We need to kill Frodo. That's what the goal is. Yeah. We have to get the screen. Yeah. But speaking of Peter Teal, did you know that Peter Teal just moved his family to Argentina? Nope. I heard he left. Yeah. So Peter Teal temporarily relocated his family to Argentina and rolled his children in school there and bought property partially due to Teal's concerns about the United States. United States future.
per NYT. - I heard it's a front. I saw that whole thing, but apparently it's a front 'cause he's getting in legal trouble too. - Oh, yeah, Florida just sued, was it open AI? Florida just sued. There's like an open lawsuit where like the first state to sue AI. - Oh wow. - It's like breaking yesterday. - You can kind of sense a little bit of the AI revolution starting to kind of take place. - I agree with you. Like at least with like, people are like, it's gonna start taking away our jobs. It's like. - It's taking away our cognitive abilities. - I mean, the fact that the Pope is talking about it now. - The Pope. - The Pope. - Pope. - The Pope. - Listen here, Arvist. - Arvist, Apple. - Paul, guys. - Well, I mean, back on that. - Move on. - Back on the AI thing though. So like, you brought up Nvidia might potentially pay people to put data centers on their house, right? - Yeah. - Like, is that just a, you'd never do that? Or like, what amount of money would they have to pay? - I mean, no, no electric bill in $22,000 here is already kind of like. - Well, I would do it. - Yeah, what are the, where are the dams? - It seems like a trap. - Oh yeah, I'm sure there's-- - You're giving up a freedom of sorts. - Why? - I don't know. That's like-- - That's the unknown. It's just like, what's the difference between me having an Alexa, my Wi-Fi, and me paying a big power company? - Yeah, well, I mean, I guess there could be some health re-amifications. I mean, you think about Wi-Fi. People speculate that Wi-Fi is tapping into our brains and stuff. - Well, there's a lot of things that we give up, that we don't realize that we give up just smartphone apps, whatever, but like, just even like the glasses, like meta-glasses, or whatever. - Airpods. - Like, you know, those are cheap. Those are what, 300 bucks, for like, pretty significant technology. - Yeah. - Yeah. - And you're just giving them access to everything that you see, right? - Yeah. - And so you're just giving them free data. And so that's why it's so cheap. - Yeah. - I mean, there's a lot of stuff. But like, I mean, if somebody comes up to me and says, you don't have to pay your electric bill, and you know, we'll pay you whatever, you know, you don't have to pay for your house, or, you know. - Yeah. - I mean, yeah, that's, that's a thing. - Just sign this document, and we're just gonna have to put something on your right hand. - Yeah. - Okay. - Pray for it. - Pray for it. - I get it. - I don't know, it just sounds spooky to me. - I get it. - Like. - No, yeah, that makes total sense. But also, I am very ignorant. And I don't even know what data centers do. So, like, at the end of the day, like, I don't even know what they do, right? - Justically, I don't really know what they do. - It's just like, it's just like a big server, right? - That's what, I mean, that's where my mind goes. But I mean, people also say-- - I mean, it makes-- - They're fusion centers and stuff under, like, under the sky's land. So, like-- - It just makes me think of, like, I don't know. Like, you kind of had similar things happen. Um, where, like, they would have, like, video games that you could, like, download. And those video games would, like, mine crypto on your computer, without your knowledge, in the background. - Oh my goodness. - So, like, it's, I mean, it kind of just reminds me of something, like, I don't exactly, except for they're telling you what they're doing. You know, they're using it as a data center for AI. - And we're trusting that they're telling the truth as well. - Right. - I mean, I think that is what they would be doing with it. - It does sound like a smart solution to, instead of, like, grabbing land. - Grabbing land. - Grabbing land, whatever. - It's like, we can spread it out. - This lands all, yeah. - It's like, it's like a power grid that's already in existence. - Yeah. - It's just, I don't know. - It just, it just seems spooky. - Totally. - But, like, everything, like, I mean, that, this could be literally the future where everyone has one. - Yeah, it's gonna go the way of TikTok. Like, I remember everyone started getting TikTok and everyone also talking about, like, everything you had to, like, agree to. And I was like, I'm not getting it. I'm not getting it. I'm not getting it. And the next thing I know, because I'm on the same Wi-Fi network as every one of you, I'm like, well, I might as well get it, 'cause TikTok already has access to everything that I've used on this network. - Well, you think about, like, people talking about, like, what the 5G towers and stuff is doing to just frequency stuff. Like, I wonder if there's something spooky with a data center attached to your house. - Yeah. - They're like, yeah. - We're gonna give you this amount of money. What we're not gonna tell you is that, that data, little brick outside your house is gonna run constantly at 300 degrees Fahrenheit. - Yeah. - Because people-- - Proelectric companies. - Yeah. - They say that was solar panels already. - Yeah. - Yeah, I mean, I don't know. It's very strange. I mean, I'd probably be a sucker for it. Paying $400, $450 bucks a month in electricity during the summers. - I did. - Yeah, that's crazy. - That's tempting, for sure. - A ton of people would do it. Supplements like a huge portion of your income. - Yeah, but it's, again, it's like falling into that comfortability, giving up some freedoms. Same thing with your phone, though. - Dude, they're already doing-- - I mean, think about everything that you've signed away over with your phone. You can't just keep doing it, 'cause then you're eventually just gonna be a slave to the system. - But we are. - But where's the line? - You can go back. - You can't even be off grid. You can't even be off grid. They find you. They know where you are because of Wi-Fi. - This is how democracy-- - But where do you draw the line then? - Yeah. - I'm not putting that in my house. - You have a phone! - Mr. Apple Watch Wi-Fi? - Why are you getting attacked? I'm just saying. - Why, this is a conversation. You're saying, but I'm asking like, you're saying, where's the line? 'Cause you've already given up so many freedom. - Well, if you use AI, you're using a data center of some sort. - Yeah. - Of course. - So it's like, either it's in your house or somewhere else. So it's like, you gotta be willing to not use AI to fight the good fight. - Maybe we can ask them to shape it like a little tiny rectangle, like skinny. - If it's aesthetic, it's okay. - And then we put wood over it, and it's a deck. - It's a deck. - And it doesn't exist. - It's a hot top heater? - Yeah, there you go. - Look at that. - If it can eat a hot tub, I'll take it. (laughing) - Son of a hot tub combo. - That's the thing. It just, it doesn't serve exactly what you want, but if it does something specific. - Oh, dude, start getting the patterns right now. - Well, I mean, of course free electricity, free Wi-Fi sounds amazing. - Yeah, can it smoke my food as well? - Yeah, but what are they? - And I put some pellets inside of it. - That's like the thing with solar. It's like, this actually makes sense. Like, to put some solar panels up to like power my AC. But the dude's knocking on my doors, trying to convince me that they're there to help me. I've said no every time and always will. So I think this comes down to how good or the sales people and maybe don't solicit to make it happen. - What if this is all a ploy though for like, for land grabbing? 'Cause then like your house is now a part of an AI company. - Yeah, that's good. That's spooky. - So then like, do you lose rights to your house? Do you lose? - But I mean, like, I had somebody, for an example, I had somebody come into my house like a couple of weeks ago and they did like, this little wall science experiment 'cause they're selling this like really fancy water, I mean, water filtration system. It's their property. It'd be dug and it'd be in connection to my water pipes. The city's water pipes and everything and it's like, but it would be their property until I paid it off. And technically, and it's a lifetime thing where it follows me every house I go to, they relocate it. And so it's like, that's everything. I mean, we don't own our cars. - Yeah. - We don't own anything. - Yeah. - We don't own our house. Like, at the end of the day, it could be all taken from us. - We just live in America, happy. - I know, that's why I think about that all the time. - And that's why you probably moved Argentina. 'Cause it's like, that's his land there. - What's the cheapest island we could all go in on? - Guys, I was on this last time we got together. I was looking at those Bahamian islands. It is a liability with hurricanes. So we really need to fortify these homes. - I think Mesquito Luguin's more in our tax bracket. - Yeah, probably. - But it's still in America. - You can just leave for her, like, just go. - Yeah, it's true. - And then come back. - It's true, but I want my house to be there when I get back the only thing. So it would just need to be fortified. - You have to be underground. - Yeah, it would need to be like a aqua house. Honestly, like a home that can go under water. - I know somebody in Kansas has a house basically that's underground and it's like, this is the safest place you could ever be. - Nice. - Yeah, like, they got a bunker. It's literally a bunker. - Anyways, people are now saying that since the Pope said that now in, like, work positions if you are forced to use AI, - Yes, I've heard this. - You can be like, it's a religious thing now. - Religious exemption. - Oh, wow. - You have religious exemption now. - Interesting. - They say you have a real legal precedent to use religious exemption from participating in AI. - This is the beginning of the religion versus AI war. This is crazy. - It feels a little biblical. - It does, and I'm kind of excited about it. It's weird. - I'll agree there. - There's a part of me that, like, it's a bad, I need to get over it. And it's like, you almost want this stuff just to start heating up and get bad. - I don't want that. - But then you don't want, like, 'cause it's obviously better if it doesn't, right? - Yeah. - But it's like, it is exciting that, like, these things are happening. - Less rural. - Well, I was gonna say with the, like, not using AI. Like, I don't know, like, when you just read, I didn't have to read the whole thing or listen to the whole thing, but, like, he says, like, disarm it. So, like, he's not saying that it's necessarily bad. I think he's just worried about, like, politically, and, like, laws. - And within war and-- - Yeah, yeah, that too. So, like, I mean, it seems like he's just asking for better regulation. - Yeah. - So, like, I don't know, like-- - Which, right now, there's zero regulation. - Yeah. - Yeah.
That's that's what's the scary part like even in war we have lines that we don't cross right like chemical warfare and all that stuff Like they're like gene of gene of a convention like this is not allowed is AI the next level of that Where you can yeah, they have that now. It's like that's why they chose open AI because open AI agreed to the Pentagon's terms of like You can take lethal force AI can take lethal force if they use it in weaponry or what it's like Where's the line there, but didn't they have like restrictions lifted for a period of time so they could advance the AI race Do you remember how long that was? Oh, it was a couple. It was like 2032 or so. Yeah. Yeah, so I watched Sam Altman talking He was like the thing that keeps me up at night is the billions of people I know that are about to be without a job So he's like what I'm developing is litter now plural billions how many people are on the world now? They're saying 8 billion right at least 80 80 okay my bad math But but like yeah, how terrifying like you're that's a significant portion of the world About to be jobless and so you're telling me the dude is like with intention removing he was like he literally said it keeps me up because I don't know What these people will do he says or where they will find their value? Yeah, and I'm like cool You should have no restrictions on what you're doing again, though I refer folks if you want to optimistic outlook on the future of AI I refer folks to the Jirogan episode with Elon Musk. Elon Musk is he's gonna say what he needs to say though because he's I know I know an owner of an AI tech company. Yeah, in reality I mean we would just have to all be like subsidized and we'd have to take a paycheck from the government just to exist and then we'd have to find joy and hope in Extracurricular. Yeah, and then maybe everybody'll garden and maybe ever be able to get outside and touch some grass and like pick up a hobby and then start to Understand how to dismantle the fabric of our nation See that sounds all I'll actually my math teacher in college Was he was Chinese and he was he was an artist But he was scoring so well in school. They moved him to the city because it was part of some program where they were like Let's develop these young minds. Well apparently they got worried that they had taken too many smart people and piled them together They got worried of overthrow and so they pushed him out to the country literally like thanks for learning all this math Get out to the country and so they moved all of these different smart people out kind of beyond at the time the governments reach and then they got Worried now we've sent all these people beyond our site and they're gonna revolt from out there So they basically forced immigrated him to the United States Oh my goodness where he taught math at a community college, but I would worry that if the solution was to to get out and get away I think someone who's desire is complete control is gonna realize that people are away Oh, I know they're going to wrangle back in a way China did way back in the day Think about if our parents generation heard the things that are coming out right now in our everyday news considering you know list Geopolitical problems all these horrific nightmares that are happening and they heard things they had their own things in their generation But it does feel like this summation of evil is happening and they didn't have the distraction of social media and garbage being pushed in our face What would they have done with that information? You know true, but they also like just if you're going back to that time the Accessed information being pushed out in front of you wasn't there so it was just happening, but it just wasn't Being made clear. I I wonder to how different is it actually for us now like we have social media So we have this illusion of like individual opinion, but I think it's algorithmically funneled to CNN verse Fox now we have this influencer versus that influencers pull a thought. I think it's really similar. Okay, I got you We're hearing too many people's thoughts. I guess I'm just saying I agree with that right there.

Yeah, but that's the difference between melting and bending You can bend Steel pretty like pretty. Oh, yeah, like yeah, but crumbles, but melting like that's yeah, that's the tough thing when you see that one Pillar on 9/11. That's just making a 9/11 reference But they all the news and stuff like if you see debris in the ocean don't pick it up. It's toxic And it's like, I don't think it is You would probably know better.
