Shake Your Caboose

The transcript blends satire, personal reflection, and societal commentary. It opens with a narrative about The Lemonati, a shadowy force that has long promoted lemon over lime in pop culture, music, and products—only to be challenged by 7UP’s new lime-lemon soda, symbolizing a cultural shift. This theme is mirrored in a broader meditation on how seasons, relationships, and identity unfold gradually, like layers of fall. The conversation then shifts to personal anecdotes: a dream involving an owl, a conversation with a mysterious woman who speaks of divine alignment, and the surreal recognition of doppelgängers, reflecting on self-awareness and uniqueness. It also explores real-world experiences, such as attending the Super Bowl, where connections, humor, and social dynamics emerge. A major focus is on AI-generated advertising, with concerns about surveillance, manipulation, and privacy—especially in cases like Ring’s dog-finding feature and a disturbing missing-person case. The discussion concludes with a poignant moment about a man confessing to cheating in a relationship, revealing deep emotional vulnerability and the struggle for forgiveness. Throughout, the tone is conversational, self-deprecating, and layered, blending personal insight with societal critique on technology, identity, and human connection.

- For decades, a shadowy organization called The Lemonati has kept lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Look around, lemon-forward sodas, even lemon-forward songs. We ran the tracks, slowed them down, reversed them, and squeezed out the truth. ♪ All hail the lemon ♪ - That's lemon propaganda right there. But now, 7UP is fighting back with their new lime-lemon soda. Join the 7 uprising, flip the sip. - Fall never arrives all at once. First the air, then the light, and slowly the things you love begin to find each other. A jacket meets a dress, a hoodie slips beneath a blazer, an old cap finds a new scarf, because you don't simply step into the season, you create it layer by layer until it finally feels like fall. Find fall your way at Ross. - No. - Ready? - Okay, like, shake it off, shake it off. Sometimes, like, every now and then, a song that, like, kinda how I feel about fortune cookies or graffiti when it's on the ground, sometimes a song, I'll be like, shake it off, and then I'll be like, wow, that Taylor Swift song was right, you know? - Right on the same, guys. - Yeah. - What is right on the snake, guys? Is that like a poker-- - I think it's like writing the money. - Like a poker turn? - Oh, absolutely. - Poker? - It's more of like a Tristan and Channing say it, so I don't know if it's real. um um just shake it off yeah okay i like the taste of fortune cookies what are they it's just a wafer i don't think so md foodie boys you're checking in i don't think so they're they kind of give tootsie roll vibes which i do not like what it's like the tootsie roll of the cookie it's like a throwaway but i like them don't you like tootsie rolls yeah it's disgusting i kind of like the danger of there maybe being a razor blade in them maybe that was the whole thing yeah was there ever really a razor blade in a tootsie roll i don't know or was it at the center of a tootsie pop that would be too too much heavy lifting for the men putting the razors in the candy because how many licks would they have to take unless they were part of the manufacturing process in which case it's we've got to pull someone's got to blow that case wide open the only one in trouble would be that owl one two three crunch razor blade bring commercials back one owl dead bring real commercials back whoa i had a dream that i was in a workplace and i worked in an office and that's so weird that this came full circle just now but i was being bombarded by like people being like oh someone just someone was can you believe what they said about you and i'd go who and then like the whole office would be like owl owl owl and i was being bullied for being an owl oh my god but i wasn't an owl i was a man i wonder what that says about you and your psyche and shit like that like it's not a big deal to be an owl even if i was an owl like maybe that there was like an owl trend so maybe you were internalizing that i know but what is the point of that this is what i always talk about dreams like we could dream about whatever we want we could be surfing you know that's why it's so important to learn how to lucid dream you could literally do whatever you want that's why it's so important to loosen up yeah and then you could do whatever you want and then you and shake it off well said it's good to see you in the studio it's so good to see you in the studio um there's not much to say we you know we were talking about just call it yeah that's good um listen to this on point zero zero two and that was an hour um here's what i was gonna say this morning yeah well we were just talking about because we're recording twice this week um because i'm i'm going overseas next week hello i'm serving overseas next week so i'm serving con overseas um that's so stupid that is so stupid it's so dumb i love it i do want to i do want to end it end it all or some both okay let's start with some and then we'll be ending it all okay um now we were talking about maybe having a guest on or we were just exploring we were noodling on options for guests and then we kind of said maybe we pull man off the street for a guest and i don't know if i'm supposed to expose our behind the scenes thought processes but i will because i ran into a woman on the street today i walked down the waves were huge there's something there's just there's a storm coming into this our side of the woods and the waves were huge so i'm going to go down to check them out and i'm walking back and this woman walks b is beelining towards me little old woman she could be stuffed and sitting on a shelf she's that size she comes up to me and she goes and i'm going to try to remember the as soon as she walked away i'm like what did she just say and it was very she was well said and it was enunciated she said i am aligned with the power of god's life smiling and i go light did i say life yeah i am aligned with the power of god's life you mean no i am aligned with the power of god's light and i go oh my gosh that's awesome i bet she's quaker okay well i was like that's so cool that i got chosen she's going pink or pinballing off of everybody telling everybody this you know what's cool is i was like willing to have a conversation because i i was like i don't know what the hell you're talking about little lady but i will i would love to hear more you know because it wasn't aggressive at all and then i realized like some sometimes i'm like cool to hang out with i could have a conversation with her i you know i don't prefer talking to most people especially those that i don't know but there is a very small group of people that are just so out there that it's like i don't have to worry i don't have to be on high alert i don't have to think about what i'm saying next like they've got it covered yeah and it sounds like that's the kind of person that i could fuck with well it seemed she knew her way around i'm gonna go again tomorrow and see if i can catch her with a yeah be on high alert because you're always meeting these types of people ask one to come on the pod next time you meet one i will ask her yeah anyone that is like this there's so many i wish i could go have that woman from the bookstore but i haven't seen her no yeah i right when i moved to la i had one dude one gentleman i drove down south for something and i was driving back up and i got a coffee and he came up to me he goes you want to get a slice of pizza and i go yeah and so we went down and we we sat and we got a slice of pizza pay for it for both of you both of yours no he paid for it and he got me two slices because i was i was so hungry do you think it was a date yeah now i do looking back hindsight's 50 50 what kind of person was he like age-wise and like 60 something yeah i'm gonna put i'll find the we have a selfie on my phone would love to see it i uh we'll i'll send it in i'll put it up i looked really different so just heads up um always say that and it's just like never true this one's like bad this was back when i was getting haircuts it was like right out of college so i was still like haircuts are such an insane expense that like it actually made more sense for me to shave my head so i could go further in between haircuts okay so there was like you could see my scalp on the sides of my head it was very you know it was it was it was past the point where i should be using macamor as a reference for my haircuts but it actually made sense if i wanted to like stretch out the time in between haircuts speaking of just like the way you look there's a full ganger of you did you see no this is a good one but it's not it's actually completely abnormal how many you have but look at this one i was literally like when did when did phoebe get married whoa who is that some guy wait okay so side profile that is you side profile yes i need to see the front the full frontal that's what always gets me you know like i i understand a side profile but that is that's uncanny he's hot you can tell i don't know i need to see the front um oh he's probably not tagged because this is from a wedding well let's go to his his well we can is he was on it she well that's whoa is that not alarming no that i thought that was photoshop yeah that that really but i wonder what it means like about like from a universe perspective that you have so many you know i bet it means something about like you in a past life or like where you're going or just like energy To have so many doppels. I feel like it's because I don't have that many defining features. You have so, you are, it doesn't make any sense because you do have so many defining features. What is my, what is the defining feature of mine? It doesn't matter. All of them. I would walk down the street and, or most people recognize you. You're very recognizable. That is weird because I will have glasses and a hat on and I'll be in like New Orleans and someone will, but like that'll, that's, this is weird. This one's a weird one. Yeah. That's not normal. I want to show you one I got. Sometimes it's like, how did you lose your phone when you're sitting in a chair and you haven't moved? No, the Kelly Clarkson's have deep crevices. They're crevices that run deep. In the bonus, we can lift up the cushions. I bet there's so much stuff under there. Oh my gosh. I just opened my phone to something that. Don't. Wait, I saved it in my bookmarks. Now Instagram, why do you have so many buttons? What are you doing with all these buttons? Yeah. Okay. Hang on. I, um, yeah. Yeah. New Doppel. I should make an album so I can. Okay. Obviously I can't find it. Okay. Bye. Bye. We'll see you next week. Yeah. Well, no, I can't find it. Well, that's crazy. Why did this come up? Uh, cause you were talking about the way you look and I said, speaking of the, your face. Oh, here's the husband. Good job, Izzy. Yeah. That's you. I mean, I see it. Wow. He's from everywhere. Hold on. That's, can we Google? Maybe that's part of it. Can we Google Brighton Godfrey? Well, we don't need to say, I don't even know. I don't know if we should be saying his first and last on that. Um, he's an unavailable. Ah, yes. Ah. Me and my bald head. Oh, wait. Are there more? Or is, are, oh, he's tagged. Oh, I bet she has. Oh, here we go. Okay. Yeah. I could see it. It's more so from the side and from the other side. Yeah. Oh, from that one a little. Hmm. Yeah. That one. What? That looks like the dude from The Office. Dwight? No, the tall one that comes in late. Oh, Gabe. Gabe. Yeah, that's like you and Gabe had a baby. That looks like Zach Woods. You and Gabe had a baby. I like those neck, those things on your neck for the bride. I like those. I like those. I like those. I like those. Yeah, what was that about? Did you meet him? No. It's just like it's been happening slowly and all at once. Okay. Like it started with that "I don't want to get undressed" for a new person all over again. "Eyes of my lover and the child." Yeah, still I don't think the lyrics are right there. No, I can't remember them. I don't want to get dressed for someone else in the eyes of a child. I don't either. Listen, man, I don't know the exact layer. I don't know the lyrics, but I know that I love him and you understood what I was saying. Yeah. But they're just, it's not even the lyrics themselves that I'm obsessed with. It's the fact that like he is a little, like he's, he was like six when he wrote them, which like there's this, like I've been really moved by this like deep dark, like young man. He was six when he wrote the song? Not actually six, but like he's 20 right now. Okay. So that was written what? Probably a while ago. He's 20 right now? 20, round down a few years, six. He was born in 2005. That's awesome. That just like, it just is really, I'm finding it amazing that he did that at such a young age. And then he keeps, he keeps amazing me. His new song, "Homewrecker." You know, I think that Milo got you, I think that Milo took you to your love for Sombra. I think that was the end. The egg that hatched. No, I've always been loving Sombra slowly, but surely. I've spoken about him a few times now. He's come up. Then I watched the music video because Milo is in it. So I wanted to watch it and Sombra just, he's really, he captivates me. He capsized me. Yeah, he captivates me. And so I've been listening to a lot of Sombra. That's amazing. Yeah, I really like him as a friend. He's been doing like, he's getting into that group of like YouTube people like Quinn Blackwell, that whole. Yeah, she was in the music video too. Oh, maybe that was it. Yeah, I think that's it. So they probably swapped, they did a pod swap. Yeah. And then he joined her on her YouTube series, which I want to, I've never heard him talk. Somb? No. You might like it. Really? He's just a boy. He has the name of an app. Well, Sombra's not on his birth certificate. Oh, I was like, I know he was born in 2005. Is he sounds like an app? His parents did not name him Sombra. Sombra is an app that wakes you up when you need to take your medication. Pause, here's a fun game. Just from looking at him, what do you think his name is? Give me a second. Can we pull up a picture? Also, I think he's like 6'6" or 6'7". Oh, he will be in Warsaw soon. Hmm. His name. What is his name? Rex. No, not T-Rex, maybe, uh, Ryder, Ryder, Ryder, no, Ryker, Ryker. Yeah. Okay. Do we know the answer? Is Ryker a name? Yeah. Sombra's name is drumroll, please. Shane, Shane, Shane Michael Boos. Okay. That wouldn't have been, Oh, Sombra. Sounds like my caboose, shake my caboose. That's what we're doing to Sombra's music. Hell yeah. If we ever meet him, let's be like, your name sounds like shake our caboose. How old are you? Listen, he will love that. He will love it. He will love it. I really like him. July 5th, 2005 and NYC. Absolutely. He blends pop, alt rock, and R&B 100%. His music is like on themes of love and heartbreak, self-taught. He's so self-taught. That's what moves me here. That is sweet. Anyway, I'm loving Sombra. What does it mean to be self-taught as like an artist? Cause like I sing. Um, it says he's a self-taught producer. So like, okay. But also I get, you know, sometimes I get confused about producer cause there's lots of different types of producers. Yeah. Like we've got Izzy, who's like all hands on. And then sometimes there's producers who like aren't really there and they just contribute financially. Right. So I don't know how Sombra produces. Overseas creation. It's something I could ask him. Recording, guiding in. Yeah, we'd love to have you on Shane. Don't call him Shane. Why? I don't know. He doesn't. He goes by Sombra. Okay. I haven't talked to him. I don't know what he prefers. He might prefer Shane. Well, I don't. I wouldn't. That one we have to cut out. I don't even like I didn't even eat anything today. Like I don't know how much gas is just existing in my body on a day-to-day thing. I'm like. Connor, I don't. You act like it is the strangest thing in the world that you're burping after chugging 16 sparkling water. This is still. But you just chugged that one. I didn't chug. You just drink it. Sparkling water makes you burp. Period. On God. No cap. Okay. Then I need to stop drinking sparkling water. But that's somewhere I got on my own. And not with any feedback from people that watch or listen. Thank you. Because I just know that I'm not taking feedback unless it's positive. Thank you. That being said, I'm as gaseous as a small star. Cute. Yeah. Early stages of my career as a star because I'm just little gaseous, but it's coming out both ends. I love that. Oh, God. The Illuminati has spent decades keeping lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Their lemon agenda has infiltrated everything, even our music. That hit song named after the color of lemons? Not a coincidence. Big Lemon has been pulling strings in the industry for years. Think about it. But now, 7up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda. Now lime comes first. 7up. Flip the sip. Fall never arrives all at once. First the air. Then the light. And slowly the things you love begin to find each other. A jacket meets a dress. A hoodie slips beneath a blazer. An old cap finds a new scarf. Because you don't simply step into the season. You create it layer by layer until it finally feels like fall. Thank you. do you want to talk about the super bowl yeah i mean there's nothing to say the super bowl was amazing i'm a patriots fan their performance was whack city was a whack job uh but the game

then we like went to the football game and it was like i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't it was just it was just fantastic we had so much fun sierra who is also like my new family member and then henry does robbie live here he's canadian no he lives in oh so he's not in the area no no i was gonna say if we're desperate for a guest is he west on friday it seems like rob seems like rob as you call him rob has a crazy schedule i bet you would know um what about west he was there too i mean just like so cool to see so many people in my network just at the super bowl working like everyone had like west was doing commentary on like on sports stuff he was on he had 7 a.m call times every day to be on like nbc to like help stream and talk people through like the pre-game stuff and i was like that is so cool it's cool like everyone's like doing real medium stuff and it's not as much like posting tiktoks and things it's all it's like you're doing things it's cool that is cool it was it was very cool i'm trying to think about oh i'm trying to think of any other like things that people would care about um that we did so one evening we went out to supper and uh i don't know if you know central c he's a rapper i was talking about central c yeah i don't know he has a line that sticks with people how can i be homophobic my bitch is gay oh i do know yeah i see that guy that's what i was gonna say um this young man is there very soft-spoken but i i do see him with a flosser in his mouth and i go shut up i go see i have a flosser in my wallet that i use every day and he goes the same one i go well yeah i haven't changed in a couple days i go but look and it's just this disgusting flosser and he goes i don't know i don't know i don't know all right like that was kind of the end of the first part and then i was like oh okay well that's not that wasn't my ideal thing but also like it was he's so cool that he might have actually really enjoyed that you know what i bet you were chasing the high of giving mgg a button well i was just trying to talk exactly no i mean definitely it looked like a make-a-wish kid like i know all the same i say all the time but like this was truly like who is why is he here i don't know if you saw the hat i was wearing it definitely looked like i you missed a hundred percent of the shots you know right and it's kind of one of those things where like you know i i i'm i'm i'm a fan of this young man and whenever and i see him later in the evening and he has it in his mouth and i had mine in my mouth because i was actively flossing he i think he was just sucking on his but i go hey and we weren't next to each other like basically from here to this this camera here and i go hey and he goes and then he pulls his beanie over his eyes at the club so yeah i mean that's probably my last time i'll talk to him but it wasn't horrible i mean i've had worse interactions yeah like several times so this is like yeah i don't think he ever needs to see me again which is fine but i i feel fine about it yeah um other other new friends we should talk to robin erwin he's such a he's exactly who you think he is and that's awesome when people are exactly who you think they are yeah i'm trying to think about wow you really hit some of my bucket list people yeah it and everyone's so friendly rob robin central c i was i will say being around that many athletes which we were for a lot of it just like players from other teams that weren't obviously in the super bowl they are not very interested in talking to people that aren't um boobs that don't have boobs yeah that's so interesting i haven't been around that energy like sometimes i forget that like there are men that like boobs and stuff like that like i just it's not anything that i've been around for like a really long time just like that like alpha male like boobs see i haven't been around people that don't want to don't want to at least throw a bone for a conversation i walked up to one that i'm a fan of and i was like completely sitting standing by myself kind of looking at the ground and i felt a little bit bad and i also wasn't doing anything i was like hey man what's up i'm connor and he goes nice i've never i've never seen someone walk away while they're giving a handshake that was a first for me do you think that they're rude or socially awkward i think i think i think socially awkward i think their social circles are probably really limited yeah i think that they are awkward and i don't think that they have a ton of experiences talking with people when it's not about sports football or something yeah i think so i think they probably don't have this maybe like social skills yeah and my question is always who's going to be when's the last time you were on a ladder you know like i'm not gonna i don't i'm not gonna ask you about how's your hamstring i don't you know i'm just not not in my not in my uh lexicon yeah how was seeing the halftime show in person uh very high energy he was facing the other way so i was watching it on the screen yeah um but it was cool and like a lot of people a lot like a lot of people were like full-blown knew every word to the song so it sounded like i thought it was like the speaker but no it was people's like singing so that was cool i obviously don't know i i know the songs like i i listened to a lot of bad bunny and i requested at a lot of the clubs but like i just realized i didn't know any of the words so i was like oh i was so surprised because you know me i have pretty like poor taste in music and i don't listen to a lot of mainstream people besides somber um so i really haven't like tuned into a super bowl like halftime show like excitedly and like a probably since beyonce and i was like i was moved to tears by bad bunny i don't speak i took french in high school like i don't even remotely speak spanish and i i felt as though it transcended language it was very to me it was theatrical i was i understood everything he was saying okay that's awesome yeah in a way i really i was i loved it i was very moved no i actually didn't see it because i was watching the other halftime show oh turning point yeah oh fabulous yes um it was just kind of like i've i want to just pop in and see what's going on over there i'm so stupid um for so many reasons but the first being that i thought it was chris rock performing and i was like i did not know that guy was maga like that's a shame that is a damn shame and then i saw a photo of of the true perpetrator not not chris rock chris rocked marked completely and utterly safe you're looking at this guy just like okay you guys have fun it's like it's like extremely embarrassing for all of those involved and not even wishing you well love it though oh my god i um just i don't know um but no it was very it was very fun and it was like very theatrical i thought i thought that the no one's really talking about like the setup of the whole stage it was like so cool and they got it out so quickly the casita was out there there's so many people in the casita um and then right after the halftime show and lady gaga coming out i was like wait hang on like i was i was kind of just like kind of bopping around and then she came out i locked that it was like whoa this is really cool meeting of the minds um and then i'm gonna move on so if you have something to say i would say no i just recently when i was watching lady gaga remembered do you remember when i like met her and took that photo of her at the lg event i've had forgotten about that but the lg event yeah lady gaga oh no i was thinking lgbt yeah yeah um i love that it's one of the funniest pictures i was so confused that literally that was that sick i'm saying that she really like has always felt at home in our community oh absolutely i'm trying to find the words to describe this girl without being no that was an akon song yeah actually i like that outfit of mine i like yeah you don't i was gonna say i like that outfit of hers i can't see it because it's so dark oh okay i feel good to move on okay well what nobody else saw was that there was a streaker right after the oh nobody else did see that yeah um what'd you say about that i don't know i don't it's crazy they have so much control over that because it's like why would you not show he wasn't naked he just had his shirt off but my thought was immediately like oh i shouldn't even say this it's like i can say it my thought because i didn't know it was happening i couldn't see right at first and everyone starts screaming and i was thinking terrorist attack that's scary yeah um but i am always thinking terrorist attack there is not i don't think there's a day goes by that i'm not like i have a new fear of just like everything being a sleeper cell can we circle back on sleeper cell yeah because i think that the guy that jumped down there had a lot of money that there would be a streaker and we are getting towards the end of the game and he bet on that and there wasn't a streaker and i think it may actually have been worth it for him to streak to be the streaker oh okay that was my thought process okay um but that was kind of my super experience it was weird being a being at a game and that you're you kind of have you're kind of a fan of one of the teams and you're kind of a fan of one of the teams and i think that's kind of they just didn't perform at all and it was just kind of like they had not won the super bowl no that that evening no they actually got demolished and squashed i'm sorry it's okay it's only up from here or down whatever's easiest but um we had great we had we had beers and big plastic cups which is my favorite thing to do at a at in an arena stadium type situation and then um i got a hot dog on the street from like a vendor that's exciting yeah that was great i'm glad you had a good time and then we took this like shuttle bus home and we we sang the whole way home we did karaoke and everyone went around i bet robbie can sing can he he gave the performance of a lifetime wow um it was so fun everyone was just in such high spirits i think because we had gotten out a little bit before the huge crowds we weren't in traffic leaving the super bowl oh it was awesome and then we just went home and then that was the end of the week and it was really great i had a hard time getting to the airport on sunday because the where was it san francisco san francisco francisco it's one of the best cities on earth i'm serious i can't wait to go a lot of people have a bad view of san francisco because they've seen parts of it but like it is gorgeous we went on a hike the first day we got there and i was like i'm confused why this is not talked about in terms of like we talk about los angeles we talk about new york city it's i feel like people are talking about san francisco not in a positive way i have i feel like i've mostly heard good things oh yeah i had not the lemonati has spent decades keeping lemon on top and lime in the shadows their lemon agenda has infiltrated everything even our music that hit song named after the color of lemons not a coincidence big lemon has been pulling strings in the industry for years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years think about it but now seven up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda now lime comes first seven up flip the sip fall never arrives all at once first the air then the light and slowly the things you love begin to find each other a jacket meets a dress a hoodie slips beneath a blazer an old cap finds a new scarf because you don't see it all the time you don't see it all the time you don't see it all the time you don't see it all the time you don't see it all the time you simply step into the season you create it layer by layer until it finally feels like fall find fall your way at ross anyways it was it was very very fun let me think of okay so i don't know if you watched any super bowl ads obviously mine and mine and dylan's came out everyone was looking around for the doritos ad we did the doritos ad did you see that i did an ad amplifying your voice when the during the super bowl where is it on tiktok oh i can't open tiktok my ad i you know it's important to amplify white men's voices so i had to you finally finally i had this was my ad okay it's also doing really well because they boosted it to high heaven oh oh my god this is actually scary apparently i made a sign with my hand by accident of like the universal help sign in this in this ad and everyone's commenting like please help her isn't it this thing or whatever well i'm confused because i they're talking about the p like this peace sign that i made oh but that kind of the that's kind of like the universal peace apparently there's a the way my thumb is positioned okay i'm asking for help but yeah it was an honor to be just a small part of this right um my favorite thing are all the people that are saying i have no idea who these people are and it's like i haven't seen do you know do you know everyone i haven't seen people how many how many commercials that weren't like a-list celebrities did you know every single person in the in the right um so that was like to speak and look at their own name i need to flag something okay it was brought to my attention um that dylan posted several stories in slow-mo where you could see it and i thought it was funny and i was like i don't know if i should say this or not but it was funny and i was like i don't know if i should say this but it was funny and i was like i don't know if i should say this or not but it was funny and i was like i don't know if i should say this or not before or after the rip in your pants before and just to clarify before you ripped your pants you were not wearing panties no i was wearing shorts that were like a bathing suit style short and so i don't typically put a layer underneath those what have we spoken about i didn't know i was going to be doing a hike when i was going to be doing a hike And you shoot a commercial. It doesn't matter if you think you're going to be doing a high kick or not. When you shoot a commercial, you need to put your panties on. I've learned my lesson. Have you? It's been now twice, both with Doritos, thank you. That I will be moving forward with undergarments on every commercial shoot that I'm on. I'll believe you when I see it. And in meetings as well. Meetings? Sorry for another day. Sorry for offline. Okay. I don't know if you, did you see that? Did you catch it? Oh, Brooke. No. Hard to miss. No way, did you? Hard to miss, yep. Why did you text me? I thought you knew. Dylan had to delete the story. I thought you knew. And he didn't text me. Did you text him? Or was it just like a lot of responses being like, hi? It was a lot of all caps. This is not safe for work. MSFW. Yeah. Oh my God. Who cares? We all have them. Yeah, but all of y'alls aren't looking at me like in the face. It was like, there's a snake in my boot. I don't feel as if you, just on account of the way that you don't wear underwear, the way you sit. Okay, I'm not, I'm just wearing underwear today. Everything about you. Yeah. I feel like you're due for like a flashing at some point in your life. Like you might accidentally flash and this is you getting wet. No, I feel like this is the warmup. No, this is a warning. I feel like you're warming up. No. I feel like you're just getting warm. I feel like you're just getting started. No, no, no, no, no. This was, this was turning point USA. I'm putting underwear on. No, I feel like you're just getting started. Mm-mm. Tell us about your golden bone hydro flask. What do you mean? Like, I don't know what you mean. So you've lied, you lied to me. What? You told me in a few different bonuses. Remember we spoke about go-go crazy bones? Yeah. You said you had the golden bone. If you actually had the golden bone, you would know what I'm talking about when I say you have the golden bone hydro. That was when I was. You do not have a golden bone. I was eight. You would remember if you had the golden bone, I had the, you would remember, Brooke, I don't care how old you were. I don't have the number of my childhood neighbor. I don't have his number. I don't either. And if I reach, I remember the golden bone. I didn't even have the gold. If I reach out to him 20 years later, two decades, we're talking and say, Hey, can you convince my podcast co-host that I had the golden bone? He's going to block my number. I'm not asking you to do that. I'm just saying, if you actually had the golden bone, you would know what I'm talking about when I referenced golden bone. I know what you're talking about when you reference a golden bone now. No, you don't. Cause you just said, what do you mean when you're saying golden bone? Well, it could have meant anything. Couldn't have. There's only one golden bone. No, there were several. Cause I had one and two people I know had one. No, the only five ever made. Okay. We have to move on. Did you see any other commercials that you. Yes. What? The Duncan one. Walk me through that. Cause I didn't get to see any commercial. Oh my God. It was like all of the like major sitcom stars from the nineties. It was, well, Ben Affleck and then Jason Alexander as like, he was, I don't know if he was being George, but it was Jason Alexander, Matt LeBlanc, Carlton, Cheers, Urkel. It was just like all of the major players, Jennifer Aniston popped in. And at the end, and they were all AI'd. They were all AI'd to look like they did in the nineties. And it freaked me out. Yeah. That's yeah. I'm sure it freaked a lot of people. Well, I was confused. I thought I didn't realize until Jen, I thought they were just like heavily wearing a lot of makeup. And then with Jen, I was like, I don't know, Jen, something. Oh no. Jen really looks like I see. I don't know if they AI'd them. Cause. Cause the guy on the right, I forget his name. What's his name on the right? Matt LeBlanc. Matt LeBlanc looks old. He doesn't look like he did on friends. That's an old man. Ben Affleck looks young. But look at Jen. And she doesn't look like friends to me. She, but she doesn't look like she does now. Cause she's gotten a lot of work done. I think it, I think it would, I think it's less AI. I think it's more filter. That's not makeup though. That is either like, but like, isn't a filter AI. No one knows that. No one knows what a filter is, but I don't think that it's AI. It's a, it's, it's a, it's a, it's a man made effect. It's just an effect made by man. I mean, we're walking in a gray area right now. We need to get back to the black and white or we could just recognize that. That is just like, I just think, I don't think that I think that she, she was altered by a computer. She didn't have, okay. This is just like a man commenting on a woman's forehead. Right now. But she didn't have any lines in her forehead and friends. Did she aging is a blessing. It doesn't look like this now. Like that's not her face anymore. Can we do a side-by-side of her face? And that is not her current face. I know. I think it's, I think it's a filter. Tom, Jennifer Aniston. So scary. Um, yeah, she looks exactly the same. She looks entirely different. Look at her from friends and look to me. Very different. She, I mean, to me the, essentially the same that's older. Yes, of course it's older, huh? Of course it's older that the current photo of her there is old. So it's not current, but I think there was some sort of AI at play. I do. I don't think there was AI. I think that people made as much of an effort besides Fedka as they could to, to avoid AI claims. Then maybe I don't know what AI is. AI was what Fedka did when they just did like full-blown typed in a prompt to like a generator and it just popped out like a commercial for Fedka. And it was those like robot people. And it was really weird. There's no way that moves the needle at Fedka, right? Like it's just the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my life. I think Fedka is like toast either way you slice it. Like it's just, I don't get it. Like, did I miss like, and this was in every single like ads played today. This is making history as the first ever all AI ad. Great. And it's bad. AI does like a lot of really incredible stuff. Like maybe I don't agree with it, but like it's doing cooler stuff than look at this. I am legend ass commercial. Fedka might be at the point where it's like, they need like so much support that it's like bad press is good press. I said this for them. I guess we're talking about Fedka right now. Exactly. It's making me, it's making me. Yeah. Um, did you see the nerds one? No, I only saw the friends one. Duncan. Oh, um, nerds had one and it had, um, Andy Cohen on it. And everyone was like, this is so fucking weird that they'd have Jeffrey Epstein like on a commercial with all these like little baby blobs. This is so weird. Like it was just, I had tears in my eyes reading through. They think Andy Cohen is Jeffrey Epstein. You're so dumb. I love it. I love nerds. Gummy clusters so much. Nerds being like, just like you only bigger and with a, with a Jeffrey Epstein lookalike. He does look like him. I'm just realizing Jeff. Yeah. I love Andy though. Thought this was Epstein. Nice try. Epi. Yeah. Every, every single person. I mean, they, that's tough. That is tough. That's not an ideal lookalike for sure. They, they do. They do. That was tough. I mean, maybe that was a good call out. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, like a little, like a, a candy with like, Andy kind of does look like Jeffrey Epstein. Like maybe that was like, maybe that would, it would have been a good like thing to review before. But that's a, it wouldn't be fair for Andy not to get opportunities because he looks like someone. No, I'm saying opportunities with like maybe cologne and not maybe like candy. Why not? Why not candy? Because he looks like Jeffrey Epstein kind of. But what does candy have to do with Jeffrey Epstein? Halloween, trick or treat, kids. I don't know. I feel like you could do, link anything back to kids. Not like Gillette fusion razors, you know, like. Razor blades in your Tootsie Rolls. Oh. Um, okay. Let me think. We could play this game. Toyota. We could play this game all day. Toyota. Toy. But we should, we don't need to. Ford. We don't need to. Ford. Four years old. So dumb. Okay. Connor. Connor. Connor. Connor. Connor. Beer. A, B, A, B, C, D, alphabet. Well done. Okay. But you could also do that with every letter. Okay. All right. we gotta clip that that was really fun do you think it was appropriate yes okay moving on um i have more stuff me too okay what do you well i mean again it's i watched a tv show his and hers have you seen it um no it's a big one i think a lot of people are watching but just cleaning up your mess it's known for like being like at least the general consensus that i've heard you're heading out i'm just getting some paper towels should i keep talking yeah the general consensus is that it was not a good show but the last episode everyone was like what the fuck like you guys need to watch this just to get to the last episode because it's like so what the fuck and so i watched to confirm who's in it that i don't know his name okay what's what uh what's the main guy's name mizzy do you know john john for it's it's i don't i don't think anyone that you would know was in it but what his and hers but i will say that like when i got to the end i was like yeah that is definitely john bernthal it was definitely something oh yeah it's only like six episodes and it's like one of those like classic like thriller miniseries okay cool you've done it i'll look into it and it's definitely it's very entertaining it was like during the end like when the like plot twist or whatever was revealed it was one of those situations where it was more of like a verbal like no nah nothing will happen to a strange spouse is one detective and another a news reporter vie to solve a murder in which each believes the other is a prime suspect i wouldn't say that this is interesting because google i think this is ai this is where why ai is bad that's not what it's about that's from google users though that's not even but i think that's ai capturing everything and summarizing it you know what's so interesting i was actually thinking about this today because i read this article that's being like hawked all over my twitter and it's like this huge thing that this guy posted about like he's kind of like a whistleblower for ai and he's like working on it and i'm always interested when the people that work on things are like warning us about the things that they're working on like flappy bird bad example but he's like oh like we're in the period of like no return it's like threat there's like it's like threatening to blackmail when len like kill the people that are running the program when they say they're going to unplug it and stuff and i'm just like like why did ai have to be evil like why is the outcome of everything that we're working on right now bad well so it sucks because like some ai things are good like the talking foods that tell you how to use them right but it's too powerful and pat with pat with great power comes great responsibility and it usually falls into the wrong hands just so well said regulation you've been really well said today thank you um appreciate yeah we need regulate but like this what's what's that gonna do everything recently has been just like oh we made an amazing advancement and we're using it to make bombs it's like and then this dude that like just solved pancreatic cancer did you see he like he cured it he's up for the nobel peace prize but he doesn't have funding he's like doing a go fund me no yes no yes he's doing a go and pancreatic cancer is like he you die like like one of the most lethal yeah um so he cured it and you know what's so funny this is how you know the internet is just like not a good place people are still like on his comments being like bullying him like someone's got ever everyone's got some shit to say everyone's got shit to say and most people shouldn't speak he's up for the nobel peace prize that's good i'm glad i haven't seen anything about that which is probably we should probably cut no no no no i think i should be seeing stuff like that i'm on like a really interesting place i'm also on another that another ai thing that i was like this is crazy is did you see did you see all these commercials that ring came out with like an opt-in they did a commercial about losing your dog and about how ring cameras now have a technology where if you lose your job it pings all of the ring cameras in your neighborhood to use ai to locate your dog you upload a picture of your dog and then it like recognizes and submits it and like helps you right get reconnect well no that's like oh bad it's bad that's what i mean well they just like they oh they i guess like and i'm just reading responses here but i guess the whole thing was like this is surveillance state oh yeah because now ai can be if you opt into this thing and probably not if you opt into it as well you can it's just looking at that i hope i'm not coming out as conspiracy theorist but like it is you it's recognizing faces it's reporting well i can do all that but it took them so long to recover the footage of savannah guthrie's mom's what's going on with that it is the most insane real life story that i have ever consumed okay so it is so upset deeply upsetting she's i'm just wild good morning america right or yes uh you know i got confused usa today and today show but i think it's today show so she her mother was abducted from her home in tucson arizona abduct like abducted by a masked man around some situation it is but i'm also kind of confused because they asked for money right it's also not clear if like the person asking for money is actually the person that abducted her i think it's more of like a statement than it is like they want money which is why they went for somebody with such close ties to the news like they're making some sort of statement which is really scary i don't know why is it unclear i don't know weird when there's something like that so it's really scary and it's really sad and it's really scary because it's like you let us know what you need from us you know so yeah i mean they're offering like millions for her sure return and she's still missing so it's really sad and scary and i'm i'm really praying that she comes home soon but that's not fun no it's like going on two weeks now yeah i saw the pictures last night from ring so scary yeah but that's what i'm saying like why like did it take that long like ring is so technologically advanced that we're doing full surveillance but it takes that long to get buried footage it's a good question i don't know i can't answer that thanks um i did see someone comment you know what grok is right on like twitter the robot yeah yeah someone was like at grok use ai to remove the mask and show us who's who this is and i was like what the fuck like how would that work i bet that person thought they just cracked the case wide open oh they're like if no one else is going to do it no one else is going to ask let me be the one grok like what are we doing what are we doing here like this is taking so long grok remove the mask this isn't it funny a mask that you can get to go skiing at the store is just enough to be like you could do whatever you want not get caught yeah and you never know like if you're a person on the other side of that register when someone's buying a mask like you don't know if it's gonna be used for good or evil you have to ask what will you be using this mask for today what are you gonna do where are you gonna put this on at skiing we have a surprise birthday party oh i keep getting chills no stop thinking of that stuff no you don't get chills you're so sexy sexy um there's a new game cross play it's like we're gonna play it's like a game of cards and you're gonna have to play it with your friends and you're gonna have to play it with your friends and you're gonna have to play it with your friends and you're - It's a different language. - Oh. Oh, wait, we should be saying what he's saying. Oh, sorry. Our listeners don't speak Norwegian. Sorry, y'all. Okay. We didn't miss anything yet. He's saying, it's great. It's my first medal. He won bronze. And then you can kind of see the waterworks start to bubble up. Well, he's trying to force them out for sure. No, I think he's like, am I going to do this right here? Am I going to do this right here? Oh, I think he's calculated. Oh, really? Yeah. I think this is a pathetic act of like, I'm going to put it all out on the line. Now, it could be manipulative. I think it's manipulative. Depending on how you're looking at it. But you don't do this on the world stage. You really don't. You do if you're like. This is a true act of desperation. I think manipulation. Okay. I guess we'll see. Yeah. It's tough because we can't understand the tone. I want to hear what she says. I want her to say something. Okay. Great day of skiing. My whole family for supporting me. I wanted to share this with. Oh, he's starting to cry. Watching today. Might not be watching today. Six months ago, I met the love. My life. Most beautiful, wonderful person in the world. Here we go. He is crying. And three months ago, I made the biggest mistake of my life. Cheated on her. And that's all I've been thinking about for a week. Just thinking about it for the last week. Did it three months ago. Been the worst week of my life. Okay. How about three months ago when you did it? So I had a gold medal in life. I'm sure there are many people out there. Now see me in a different light. But I only have. I only have eyes for her. I'm not quite sure what I want to say here now. That's good. I think you nailed it. Um, no, no, no. He said, I don't know what I want to say here now. I think you did. I'm like pretty stuck on the, like, he's not mad. He did it. He's just mad. He upset. He got caught. Yeah. Cause he's just been ruminating on it for the past week. And he did it three months ago. He's Norwegian. I don't care if he is. The president. Good example. That's always like, that's always like, like our thing. I came up yesterday. I was in a meeting and I was like, you know, like a lot of things can be transformative. Like you look how people age, like, like when you're the president and they were like, and I was like, bad. It was, that was a bad example. Um, but yeah, president is, I think it's like a hard example to have. You don't have to be president. don't care if he's i don't have the end to that sentence i don't what i'm saying is i don't care what the hell he is what if he's a flying pig i have no i have a zero tolerance policy for cheating yeah to do it in the world i don't know i don't think he's gonna get her back no i didn't realize i would be so angry i didn't realize he was gonna time stamp everything live i would be so angry if someone cheated on me and then went on television to tell everyone they cheated on me it kind of feels like when you propose at like a sporting event and everyone's looking and it's like oh expo from response it is hard to forgive even after a declaration of love in front of the whole world i did not choose to end up in the situation and it hurts to have to be in it we have been in contact and he is aware of my views on this much love to sterla you go girl you you are my olympian you don't know her culture or not her culture her her character i but i just like i support her she might abuse animals she sterla does not do that she might she might do not talk about sterla that way she might i'm just saying we can't jump to conclusions you are so adamant on defending this guy no i oh absolutely no no no oh absolutely see what i'm i'm curious about is him telling her a week before he goes to the olympic i don't think i i would imagine that he got caught i don't think he probably would have done that i don't think he probably would have planned on i told her a week ago and it ended i'm sure he took yeah okay i see i see what you mean oh you got caught and had to admit it wow that's about otherwise why wait months yeah also so so they started dating six months ago he cheats three months ago timelines fuck so they were dating for three months three months is so quick you're saying that it's so early on in the relationship that it's fine no i'm not saying it's fine but it's forgivable no i'm not saying it's forgivable either i'm just like this is like a lot of even for six months ago and cry on i'm like you you messed up i think we maybe you just take this one to the chest and you move forward with your life six months you lost i hope unless it's legitimate that she doesn't get back with him unless that's what she wants because i support her agency i don't think she wants to get back with him unless that's what she wants no sterla is is i would say more well-spoken than let's see oh no that is sterla his girlfriend is more well-spoken and and it has been the worst week of my life i told her a week ago then it ended i'm not ready to give up i hope that committing social suicide can perhaps show how highly i love her i am taking the consequences for what i have done i regret it with all my heart like i'm that doesn't move me i'm accepting the consequences bare minimum yeah anyway it was nice seeing you today hey you too what i know to end on um why can't i get like this saying out of my head what saying like potato potato what is that from i don't know potato potato we don't know oh the 1937 gershwin song let's call the whole thing off oh my god oh you're thinking of potato potato that's let's call the no what you just did no to what you just did we gotta go this is just like not wiped his face with this random ass coaster random ass coaster the coaster i use every week you didn't need to where coasters go on the table see you in bonus bye guys.com.au fall never arrives all at once first the air then the light and slowly the things you love begin to find each other a jacket meets a dress a hoodie slips beneath a blazer an old cap finds a new scarf because you don't simply step into the season you create it layer by layer until it finally feels like fall find fall your way at ross online deal days are back at kroger don't miss your chance for extra savings when you shop pickup or delivery you can save 30 on your first online order of 75 or more with your digital coupon plus enjoy unlimited free delivery by starting a boost free trial today but hurry these extra savings end october 20th restrictions apply see site for details kroger fresh everyone.

Summary:

The transcript blends satire, personal reflection, and societal commentary. It opens with a narrative about The Lemonati, a shadowy force that has long promoted lemon over lime in pop culture, music, and products—only to be challenged by 7UP’s new lime-lemon soda, symbolizing a cultural shift. This theme is mirrored in a broader meditation on how seasons, relationships, and identity unfold gradually, like layers of fall.

The conversation then shifts to personal anecdotes: a dream involving an owl, a conversation with a mysterious woman who speaks of divine alignment, and the surreal recognition of doppelgängers, reflecting on self-awareness and uniqueness. It also explores real-world experiences, such as attending the Super Bowl, where connections, humor, and social dynamics emerge. A major focus is on AI-generated advertising, with concerns about surveillance, manipulation, and privacy—especially in cases like Ring’s dog-finding feature and a disturbing missing-person case.

The discussion concludes with a poignant moment about a man confessing to cheating in a relationship, revealing deep emotional vulnerability and the struggle for forgiveness. Throughout, the tone is conversational, self-deprecating, and layered, blending personal insight with societal critique on technology, identity, and human connection.

FAQs

The Lemonati is a shadowy organization that has spent decades promoting lemon over lime, influencing culture, music, and products. Its agenda is seen as a form of propaganda that has shaped consumer preferences and media content.

7UP is fighting back with a new lime-lemon soda that features lime first, symbolically flipping the traditional lemon-forward narrative. This is marketed as a move to restore balance and challenge the long-standing dominance of lemon.

The metaphor shows that fall doesn’t arrive suddenly—it builds gradually, with layers of personal connections forming over time, like a jacket meeting a dress or a cap finding a scarf, symbolizing how we create seasons through meaningful interactions.

It's used as a cultural reference to a moment of realization or emotional clarity, often linked to music or personal experience, where someone feels a deep insight or connection, similar to how a song resonates with a personal truth.

The 'golden bone' is a childhood memory or anecdote referenced by one speaker, suggesting a shared or humorous moment from the past. It's used to spark connection and nostalgia, though its exact meaning is not clearly defined.

The conversation highlights concerns about AI misuse in advertising, such as deepfakes or surveillance, raising questions about privacy, consent, and the ethical implications of technology in everyday life.
