Welcome to the Kindness Chronicles, where we hope to inject the world with a dose of the Minnesota nice that it desperately needs. It has been over a week or so since we last got together. KG, where are we calling you at? Well, beautiful Minnetonka, uh, just finished my errands, just got the target and the, uh, It never fails. You go there for, let's just say there were eight things on my list, you leave with 16. It's, uh, it's a great place, but man, it is tough, tough not to overpurchase. We also got the pride of Johnny Clueless. Steve Brown with us here today. Well, I mean, I mean, what is there, five of you? There's four. There's four. I am, yes, I'm the pride of Johnny Clueless. Yeah, you're the pride of Johnny Clueless. Yeah, hi. Hey, um It's been a while since we've been on. Yeah. And we've, there's been some big news happening in our lives. Um, most notably, Grandpa Gorgie. Yes! First time grandfather. Young Leo, what's Leo's middle name? Leo Kenneth Wheeler. Oh, like Kenneth, like Grandpa Ken? Yeah, they named, uh, the middle name after my dad, which I thought was a, uh That's cool. Makes me want to almost cry. Sweet thing to do. That's very nice. It was cool. It's, it's been a bit of a whirlwind and because we haven't been down to Florida yet, we're planning on going a little over a week. Um, he's still in the ICU. He was born about three and a half weeks early. So he's a little guy. Um, he just, he just plateaued the six pound, uh, number. And, uh, you know, so he's trending, things are going well. He's at the, uh, Winnie Palmer. Uh, spot in, uh, just outside Orlando, which is awesome. Yeah. It's, it's all they do, um, and I appreciate the, uh, the shout out. The whole grandpa thing kind of freaks me out, but you know what? I've been feeling a little bit nostalgic and a little bit old here recently, so let's just roll with it. Well, congratulations. We can't wait to meet the lad. I'm sure he'll be, uh, playing with wooden sticks before we know it. Because why wouldn't ya? Why wouldn't ya? Speaking of wooden sticks, I saw a clip today of you with, uh, it was a Tom Hanneman circa 1985, 1985 being interviewed. You're on the other side of the mic, a young Kevin Gorg, state champion, Kevin Gorg, flowing hair. Yeah. Beautiful hair. Less in the chin department. A couple of less chins, um, you know, it's funny because. You know, that's been kind of circling around the day. I've been getting a lot of grief and rightfully so I was freaking out. I was acting like a whack job on that interview, but it does, um, it hits my heartstrings a little bit because of my friendship with Tom Adam and lucky enough to work with him for a little over a decade at what was then Fox Sports North. And I got to tell you, just a sweetheart of a human being. He died right after COVID like 2021 one. out of nowhere with a heart issue. And, um, honest to God, one of my most favorite Uh, co workers of all time. Just that sweetheart of a human being. When we talked about it a lot, um, our friendship started in 85. We just didn't know it. That's funny. Yeah, that was, that was pretty cool. That was a very young Tom Hanneman. He had to have only been in his 20s at the time. Yeah, because when he died, he was in his 60s. Yeah. That was five, almost five years ago. So you're right, he was right out of college. Yeah. And, you know, he, he, He told stories to us, um, when we'd be at the ballpark or at the rank of working with Dave Moore when he, when he broke into the business and how intimidating that was. Remember, TV news back then was a completely different animal. Their ratings back then, I mean, they're still great, I'm sure, but four or five channels, that was it, right? I mean, In our house, that, that, Dave Moore was on every single night at 6 and 10. You, you could set your clock by it. Along with Bud Crailing, the bald weatherman. You ain't gonna get on, uh, TV with that hair anymore. Oh, wait a second. Um, and then wasn't Rolf John Fritz? Wasn't that the early days of R Is that all CCO though? That was CCO. Yeah, that's all CCO, yeah. Channel 4, baby. Rolf John Fritz. Yes. Um, we are showing our age. How've you been Steve? I've been good. You've been good? Yeah. Very nice. Um, I, I haven't been, you know, quite the traveling person that you've been, but uh, I've uh, I can't remember. Oh, I went to a concert on Sunday night. Okay. At the new Uptown, uh, Theater. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, that place is great. You saw the Teske brothers. Oh, the testicle brothers. Teske brothers. I thought you said Teske. The guy, I'll show you guys, I'll show you guys a video. It's, they're an amazing band. They're from Australia. And the lead singer guy sounds exactly like Otis Redding. These white Australian guys who, the other brother plays guitar. It's a soul band. But Sunday night, not what I wanted to be doing. But man, it was such an experience. And so. You know, it's a testy, testy, testy. Oh, testy. Yeah. I was going to say if they were the testy brothers, you call them the nut brother. Okay. Enough of that stupidity. Yeah. I, uh, yeah, I was out in California and, uh, you know, there's a lot of beautiful people in California. There really are. And, uh, we were in Newport. Uh, we were in San Diego. The weather was not great, say what, not what's not great. What is not great weather for California raining and 50 something. Oh, really? Yeah. I would look at the, did you come home early because of the weather? Yeah, we'd had enough. I said enough of this. Yeah, I got sure it was 50 here. A couple of those days. I got to clean out my garage. Yeah. Yeah. And Fox news is on so much earlier there, you know, it's just, it's very brother. Any who. Um, just, uh, we were just upstairs, witnessing the splashdown of the, uh, the SpaceX capsule. And in this divided world, if that's not something that we can all get excited about. I mean, I had a safe landing. Yeah, it was an amazing mission way too long, way longer than they expected, but those people made the best of it. They were such, I saw them recently on a interview. They're still having a great time doing their, doing their experiments, doing all their stuff up there. And they stayed, what, they were supposed to be through there for nine days. And they're there for nine months. I wonder how long it'll be before that Sunny, the woman, dyes her, um, roots back to the black color that they're supposed to be. Because her hair had grown out so much. Yeah. It was actually funny. Uh, Trump. So wait, nine months? Nine months. Nine days? Yes. Do you not watch the news? Kevin Gorg. What? Time out now. Time out. I don't. I watch sports. So time out here. What about, and I know that they, you know, they can whip together like MacGyver a full meal out of a little Cracker Jack box, but how, how do they have enough supplies? They do have enough supplies up there. Like the, the, uh, there was another, uh, ship, this was on the International Space Station. Yeah, it's a space station. There was another ship that went up there, and it was, uh, loaded with, uh, provisions. Yeah. And there was only two people in a four seat vehicle. And apparently they loaded it up with all these different things and Like double whoppers? Double whoppers, yeah. Yeah, all those kind of things. Chicken fries from Burger King. being sent up there, but In all sincerity, it was actually very funny. Um, Trump was referring to the woman with the wild hair. And, you know, that's, you knew immediately who he was talking about. Could you put it in a ponytail? Do something. It probably feels great to have your hair just, you know, just flow like that. Yeah, just wide. Yeah, I did notice that the roots had gone a little great, but that's not very kind. Yeah, weird of you to say something like that. This woman's been stuck in space without anything. She's an American hero. Yeah. It's, it's the fact that they landed safely. It's amazing, uh, feat of technology that we can send people up and do experiment, do all their stuff they gotta do and figure out all their stuff. And it's, you know, safely bringing them back home. They're, they're getting out right now as we speak. The, uh, the NASA person that was doing the play by play referred to it as a splashdown in the Gulf of America. They did? Yeah. She knows where her bread is buttered. We know what channel you're on. What's the first thing you guys would do when you got back after being gone that long? Culver's. Yeah, it'd have to be some food related stop for sure. I'd go out for a steak, right? I mean, there's nothing No, you can't. You can't. You can't do anything for a while. Your muscles are Um, messed up because of gravity. You come home and you cannot move. It's so strong. Yeah. The shape of your eyes, everything you have to, you have to go through like medical re re evaluate or what do they call it? Re reassessory. Yeah. Re entry basically re entry. You can't just go out and get a steak that night. Well, it's going to be a while. You probably have a situation if you did have a stage, but that's not a good one either. Yeah. Um, the topic for today's show, I'd like to pivot to our topic. Wow. Get right to it. Well, I, I, I find it fascinating. I have been reluctant to lean in, as they say, to the whole AI, like chat GPT experience. Yeah. Well, it makes me nervous. Me too. But I discovered it, and I wanted to see what kind of impact, uh, ChatGPT could have on the topic of kindness. And I was shocked at how specific, you know, it's one thing to Google how to You know, how to do kindness or what's the role of kindness in the world, whatever, whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But this like laid out some really specific examples. Oh, did you print them out? No. Let's use your voice. Let's hear what you got over there, Steve Brown. So you gave, you sent us a list, a very wordy list, a very big list. It was, it was wordy. And you basically, you said something like, what ways can AI influence kindness and compassion in the world, right? Yes. You said something like that. And I have a list of, uh, I said, I said, give me a brief, uh, explanation. Oh, so you use chat GPT? Yes. You do? Yeah. Like routinely? Yes. Okay. I'm new to this. It helps. I was late to the internet. It helps give clarity. I was late to the Google. I'm late to chat GPT. It's quite, quite amazing. I haven't used it at all. Well, you don't even know what's going on in the world unless it's a hockey game. I don't. It's all about the wild right now. Ignorance is bliss. Yeah. Yeah. We'll get to that in a minute here, the no more hockey stick or wooden sticks for a moment. Wooden sticks, there you go. Well, I don't, I don't know if it's exact kind of stuff that you have, but what basically it's saying is, um, it can help with mental health support. AI powered chatbots and virtual therapists provide emotional support and, uh, and crisis intervention for those in need. So, there's people that have their best friend is now a It's a supportive person. I know that's a weird, that's weird, weird, super weird. But if you could actually give someone some support, it's amazing. Uh, number two, inclusive communication. AI driven language translation and accessibility, um, help break down barriers for people with disabilities and language, so it can help with uh, language. Yeah, what I find fascinating about it is, it, if you're looking for advice as to how to connect with somebody at work that you just don't have, You just don't have that connection with. you can put in specific examples and it will kick out some information in a split second. It's, it is as remarkable as knowing that the splashdown is going to happen at 557 Eastern Time. I mean it's amazing how specific it gets. Yeah. Um, yeah, you, you have no idea. You have to spend some time. Just start, start asking stuff or start saying things, but you can, you can give, you can do entire, marketing strategies. You can give, you basically say, give me a strategy on, you know, how to go about doing something. Give me the pros and cons, the drawbacks, the special tips and it gives you an entire strategy. I actually took a presentation. Yeah, a final presentation. I pulled it over. It said with this presentation is better Give me a speech to go with this presentation. It gave me a slide by slide speech. It's it's quite. Come on. No, it's amazing You guys have to look at it further but with regards to kindness Yes, it found all kinds of things that tailored AI with kindness, and that's what the list that you sent us. I gather another version of that list. Yeah, I, I love the idea of facilitating connection. AI can help connect people across distances, enabling communication between individuals who may not otherwise have had the chance to interact. This can come from, this can promote kindness and cooperation across cultural, uh, geographical boundaries, leading to more inclusive and supportive communities. And, you know, in the world that we live in. I think that, um, we need to be especially aware of, uh, cultural idiosyncrasies, cultural, uh, specificity and, you know, making sure that, that you're, you have the best bet at addressing something properly. Yeah. And I do think that AI has the opportunity to help us with that. Right. You know, it's very, very, so Kevin, you said that you're afraid of it. Well, I really am. Uh, well, I mean, number one, well, you do watch a lot of movies. I saw iRobot with with Will Smith, and this could end really poorly. That was a long time ago. Right, but those robots can take over our existence, and they could start to Exterminate us if we're not careful. Like we gotta, I don't know. I saw Terminator 2, that was a long time ago. Um, Yeah. When you, when you, really all this is doing John and, and KG, this is what's happening. They've inputted everything on the internet online into ChatGBT, so it's kind of a collection of all things and it can spit out a very precise, um, expression of what you're asking it calling all of the internet. Well, let's use it for good. Well, I'm just saying, instead of Googling, you know, Hey, where can I find the nearest ice cream cone, or whatever. You can Oh, that's a good idea. Well, you can go in and say, you know, I don't know. Get more specific and more, like, it'll tailor it to you. It'll give you information. You know, give me the top five best ice cream cone shops in St. Paul, or whatever. It's very specific. Grand old Creamery, there it is. You know, we could call it Chat KG. Well, my idea was to use AI with, like, let's use Twitter or X as the example and have the artificial intelligence extract videos every day from all over the world of acts of kindness. And the one that always starts the conversation Is when you see the, the two little toddlers, there's a little African American boy and a little white boy running towards each each other and they smile and they come running at each other and they give each other this hug like that. I want that. Like I want a kindness feed through artificial intelligence where all day long I get to watch that. And you guys talk about. Oxytocin and all that good stuff, that would be just like a buffet. Well, I think that the term that we use is oxytocin day. Yeah. And I'm sure that you exercise oxytocin day. I did this past Sunday and I'm manipulating my algorithms. Good. I'm telling you. That's the point, right? I'm getting hammered. With all of these great videos and clearly, I just need to switch gears for just one second. Okay, where are we going here? I want to talk about donuts for a second. This is a total pivot. I'm good. This is a great conversation. Here's why. Here's why. So. I get into my car this morning, and I have been getting donuts on Tuesdays, as I mentioned, from the Donut Hut. Yeah. Uh. In Little Canada. In Little Canada. And I get in my car today, and my little navigation thing comes up on my phone, and it says, 14 minutes to Donut Hut. No way! Swear to God. Your car, your car's telling you. Swear to God. No, the phone knows that I'm going to Donut Hut. Yeah, your phone knows. Oh my God, that's scary. My phone knows that I'm coming here. Isn't that nuts? Yeah, well, it's because it sees your patterns. I guess it sees patterns. Did you just say that? Yeah, I think it sees patterns. Well, here's what's really funny. It's another algorithm. I get a text the minute I leave the donut shop from one of our listeners, Barb Peterson. Hi, Barb. Hi, Barb. Hi, Barb. She found, uh, there was a thing on the, uh, uh, what do you call that? A gif or a jif, what, what, how do you say, what's that word? I say gif. Yeah, it's a gif. Anyways, there was a thing that showed up on, uh, on her feed. A meme meme, that's the word, it's a meme. And it said, I feel like I'm in a good place. Not mentally, I'm just at the donut shop. And she sent me that, and like, I got in the car and I sent her a picture of my box full of donuts. And there was one less by the time we got to work. Oopsies. That's a oopsies. So that's what you were going to say about the donut shop? No, the donut shop, no, so I said to the woman, and maybe, did I mention this? I mentioned to the woman working behind the deal that, We've been talking about the Donut Hut on our program, on our podcast. And she said, oh my god, there was a guy that was in here the other day that said that he heard about the Donut, uh, Hut and drove from Iowa to go to the Donut Hut in Little Canada. Because of us? I have no idea what other podcast is talking about it. Isn't that nuts? Yeah. I just, you know what that is? AI. Somebody went to AI and said, give me a podcast that's promoting donuts. Yeah, that's specific. That is specific. And ours is the number one donut promoting podcast, I think, in the current day and age. Number one in the world. Yeah, we're in Iowa, especially. Um, so you said that we had a week off. Let's talk about that for a second. We had a we had a little snafu, but you were you were traveling and we talked about using a best thing a best of And it didn't it didn't work and you got some feedback from some people. Yeah Um, I got some feedback actually my wife, uh ran into another friend of ours former guest randy backus and said Yeah, so you guys take a week off And you don't post anything, what's the deal? Wow. So. Sorry Randy. Sorry Randy. We gotta have you and your bride back on. But yeah. You know, I'm happy that people. It's good to hear. Yeah, that people are missing us if we aren't here for a week. We try to do it every week. We try to do a couple. Then we can kinda. I know. Place them out. We just. We got behind a little bit. But uh. But it's good to hear that people are listening. We're busy guys. We're busy people. Right. We got KG. You know, it's hard just to nail him down. Yeah. He's, you know. Well, you've been traveling more than me, which is rare, right? Like the last. Ever. I mean, last month you've been gone a bunch, like every time I turn around, you're somewhere else. Beautiful. Like you mentioned. Like a long haul trucker. I'm kind of like a trucker. Remember that song, Convoy? That's one of my all time favorites. Where are we going with this? So that's kindness. Yeah. I want to ask KG about the hockey tournaments because you mentioned it, and I, and I wanted to say before you explain anything, um, people thought it was so great that he got to do, he was the color guy, right? Yeah. He, did you take Lou Nanny's spot right now? Are you kind of, are you the new guy? Well, no, there was three of us that, you know, because Lou Nanny is such a legend, uh, he's the godfather. We decided that not one person is going to be put in that spot because you have no chance. That's fair. And so we had. Ben Clymer, Mark Parrish, and myself kind of rotate through the entire, you know, because they play Wednesday through Saturday, there's a bunch of games. And so we all did four or five games in the booth. We had a ball. It's a great crew. Um, Pat O'Connor is the lead production guy. He used to work with us at Fox Sports North back in the day. And, you know, Channel 45, uh, it's all about the kids. It's all about promoting the high school. Um, athletics and all the, the bands and all the good stuff that goes along with it. So, and I normally don't get to work it because it was great. Here's the wild have three or four games on a road trip. This year, it just so worked out that I had to take off one wild game to to work ten at the tournament and it was well worth it. It was an, it was an unbelievably good state tournament and speaking of kindness, the one thing I gotta tell you, both teams in the championship game that lost, I've never seen this, stuck around. The entire time the winning team is not only getting their medals, but got their trophy and did their celebration out of respect for the champions. The runners up both did that. St. Cloud Cathedral did that and still water did that kudos to those kids. Kudos to those coaches. Um, I love seeing that type of mutual respect. Do they do the handshake at the end? Like they do in the, yeah, I saw, you know, I mean, think about that, right? I mean, one team has just one. One team has just had their hearts broken. Both games were, were one goal hockey games and, uh, just incredible, incredible stuff. It was, it was high drama. It was great. Um, do I have time to tell like a two minute story? Tell a five minute story. You've got, uh, seven minutes. All right. St. Claude Cathedral, um, had a goalie, um, named Keaton LeGrand. And his family every day would stop by the set and say hi. We love your coverage. We know you used to be a goalie. So anyway, I met the grandpa. I met the mom. I met the dad. The tournament plays out and East Grand Forks scores the winning goal on this kid and he had a great tournament. He was an all tournament goalie but the winning goal was a fluky goal from the corner that went off his skate off the post and in. Just a nightmare. for a goalie to give up a goal like that. So, right away, I I had become Facebook friends with his mom and I sent her a quick note saying, hey, am I okay texting your son um to to help kinda walk him through this and she right away within like a minute, send me his number and so they're on the ice doing the medal ceremony and and waiting for the champions to get their trophy and I sent him this Long text saying, hey, you had an amazing tournament. You're a junior. You led your team to the state championship game. It was a fluky goal. I know how that play looks bad but I know from playing the position that you were trying to get back and match up with the post and it just was a bang bang play. Don't let that define you or your season. You're you're just a great great goalie. So, I'm thinking this kid is going to look at that and say, what the hell? Bottom line is they leave the ice within two minutes. I get a text back from Keaton thanking me for that message. And then I go on with my night and I was really impressed with the kid. Text me back from the locker room before he took his gear off. I'm like, this kid's classy. Well, now I'm working the double a game and there's this kid. At the set and the security guard comes over and says, Hey, there's a young man that wants to say, hi, why don't I only know what he looks like with his gear. And I don't know what he looks like without his gear. And I look at this kid and he goes, Hey, I'm Keaton. I want to introduce myself. And he goes, I wanted to thank you in person for what you did. And it changed the whole course of my day. And I'm like, Now that right there for a for a 17 year old kid. That's classy. Yeah, that's some good parenting going on there Well, I think it's a it's a great move that that followed up a really classy thing. You did. Yeah Nominating him that was a nice kindness Chronicles Also, uh, Kindness Chronicles, uh, something of the day. Yeah, yeah. I'd rather have the doughnut artificial intelligence than the, uh, day of the day, but that's okay. Let's get a host of them. That's actually the, uh, the reward, is a doughnut the next time we see you. If you ever make it across town, you know, there'll be a doughnut waiting for you. Yeah, we gotta get you back over here. I don't like the ones that have the stuff. I like plain, like, I like a glazed. Or a plain, like just those, I don't know what you call them, but no frost, I don't like all that stuff. You don't like, oh, I gotta tell you, the white frosting, oh my god. Where, at the donut hut? At the donut hut, I don't know what they put in that white frosting. How are the fritters, because I, I was told that you gotta get there early. Well, I mean, for starters, there's fruit, so they're healthy. But you've never had one? Oh, are you kidding? Of course I've had one. Oh my god, I've, I've. They're crunchy on the outside. Yes. Gooey on the inside. Yes. You know, the fruit feels like it actually came from an apple that, uh, George Washington picked. Did he pick the apple? No, he was the cherry tree guy. It doesn't matter. It sounds really good. Um, sometime I'd like to get there early. The lady kind of, I went there because you told me about it. I'll send you guys photos. They didn't have any fritters. I went there like two in the afternoon. Not a bad choice. On a Friday. She's like, oh, yeah. She looked at me like, you, I said, what, you got any fritters back there? She goes, You got to get here where she can look me up and down. You can hear way earlier than what's wrong with, you know, like a bakery kind of way, you know, can we just go back to KG's a story with the goalie? Great story. Um, I will say this watching, uh, some of that St. Cloud Cathedral team, they were a classy group of kids. Just they were class. I mean, the whole, I was super impressed with all of the, uh, the games that I watched and just the way that they conducted themselves. But that's great to hear that, uh, Stillwater operated the way that they did, as did St. Cloud Cathedral. I just think the tournament still has the magic. Like, the bands, the kids, the, you know, all the, the pomp and circumstance that goes along with that, it still has it. Like, the world has changed. It's certainly not the world we grew up in. I mean, with all the technology and the cell phones, and these kids certainly don't punch in to sporting events like they used to. But when it comes to that tournament still getting the hotel rooms still getting the face paint on they're wearing the hawaiian shirts they're wearing the red white and blue they're doing the chants back and forth like it still hasn't and there isn't much like if you look at 40 years ago since we talked about it And we all, we're all feeling, you know, a little bit older. Now that tournament still is a walk back in time. It's still got that. And I love that about the state tournaments. Help me understand something though, the mustaches, what is, and the hair all, so the hair I get'cause of the hockey hair thing, but the mustaches, they're, they're terrible mustaches. Rarely love it. They're not great. You see a guy. There was a guy from TIDA a few years ago that actually looked like a police officer. Like he had a solid Tom Selleck looking sort of mustache, like a, like a police officer in a, um, in a 1970s. Adam 12? No, no, but, but like a, a Halloween costume police officer. Like in a bag where you go. A police officer costume? No, like he looked like he, you had the right to remain silent. Oh, if you saw this guy. Okay. Like, you'd immediately put your hands together and say, bring out the cuffs. Um, I just, I don't care for that look, and there's lots of people trying to have just the mustache. It looks so intentional. You know, like I'm trying so hard. Yeah. What do you think about the dye in the hair? A terrible idea. I don't like terrible idea. Because here's why it unifies them, whatever it brings them together, winning unifies you what happens is, and I'll use my son Jack as an example. Okay, he went out and dyed his hair before the state tournament for football. Yeah, it's must have been a senior year. Did they all do it? Everybody, there were a couple that didn't, but they're just about everybody did it. Yeah. And we were looking at pictures from like, Okay. Spring break the following, and he still had remnants, he had frosted tips, frosted tips and, and let me tell you, all it was was a, a reminder of the fact that you lost about two days after you dyed your hair, you look like an idiot, well that's just a negative angle though, to take John, but that half of the people that do it, I mean, how many teams go into the State High School Hockey Tournament? Sixteen. Only two of those teams leave as, as champions. Yeah, but you gotta go, you gotta go in, you know, expecting the best, right? I guess my head brain doesn't work that way. I look at it and I think Did he look good with bleached hair? Was it bleached or what did they do? Well, I will tell you that Mrs. Schweitz, you know, wanted to protect Jack's hair. A lot of the kids went and bought a bottle of, you know, the bleachy stuff and they Yeah, it fries your hair, right? Jack came out with this beautiful platinum Oh, he did it right. kind of silvery, oh my god. I mean, he looked You know what he looked like? He looked like, uh What? George Harrison. Oh, really? Oh, wow. George. You know, is that his name? The guy that was on the, uh, the godfather? No, he's a beetle. What are you talking about? George Hamilton. Oh, so you're saying after when he, he colored it back? No, he colored George Hamilton when his hair went gray. Like it was sort of like a silvery grayish, uh, black. But what does your kid do? I don't understand. You know what? We're going to start this over. No, no, no. George Hamilton is an old man. He had dark hair. I thought he bleached his hair white. Blonde. Like the team. He did bleach his hair blonde. Okay. But it was more of a silvery blonde. Really? It looked really kind of cool actually. Okay. I'll show you a picture when we're all done here. Great. I'm glad we sorted that out. Good, but he didn't look like George Harrison. He was the guy from the Beatles. Yeah, that's the guitar player from the Beatles, the Beatles, the Beatles, the Beatles, close enough. Um, KG, I understand your, uh, your youngest daughter is in town and you're going to go spend some time with her. Yeah, she's on spring break. So, uh, over the weekend, Chrissy and I took her and Maddie, the, uh, the middle daughter, uh, to brunch. And then Anika is like, we, we should go see. A movie, let's get dinner and see a movie on Tuesday. I'm like, perfect. That's your day. And so we timed it out with the, with the recording of the show. We're going to get a little Panera. Here at 630 we're gonna go see the brand new movie black bag. Oh Kate Blanchett little spy espionage Movie and then she's gonna head back to acquire. Can I just ask has anybody started watching White Lotus? Yeah Of course, I've seen all of them. I'm watching this series too, this season. This season, about the stupidest show I've ever seen in my life. You've never seen it before? No, I've seen the first two seasons were great. Okay, so you're saying this one doesn't stack up. This season is four episodes so far. That's quite slow. Of, of character, uh, development. It's building, yeah. I'm sick of it. I know, it's kind of it. Now, Reacher on the other hand, have you been watching Reacher? No, I know he's Oh my god, is that show good. Ooh, I like, I like Reacher. Yeah. Yeah, so Just White Lotus. Thumbs down. Two thumbs down. Well, let's, let's finish the series, then we'll talk about it. Let's finish it, and we'll talk about it after. Um, I guess, you know, we've given them 30 minutes. Well, I think, I love how you feel like it's, you put your time in. I think the point was You're trying to get I would suggest people try this go get on the free chat GPT open up and just type in AI and kind or say what ways can AI influence kindness and compassion in the world and you will be surprised at the kind of things that come up and it might even be tailored to it's it's all about how you ask it so play with it check it out right it's it's what you put in is what you get yeah it's I'm shocked at how I had a lot of fun with ChatGPT over the weekend. It's very cool and it's, it could be a great tool for helping and designing and putting together all kinds of really good stuff. It wouldn't be right if we didn't have just a quick moment on sports with KG real quick. Isn't that what we did with hockey, John? No, we did a little bit of that, but I want to ask, I mean the Vikings. What do you think of the Vikings off season moves, KG? They're, right now, they have Steve doesn't even know what that means. I don't know. I don't know what happened. They have made some unbelievable moves. Both their offensive and defensive line have been shored up. The running back they got from San Francisco is a stud. They got Aaron Jones. It's phenomenal. Now, this can all be submarine by one move. If they bring in Aaron Rogers, the ship is going down. He is the anti KOC. KOC has created an environment. Where everybody's like together, they're connected, they're good, they, they treat each other well, it's not about them, it's, it's not me, it's thee, and you bring that donkey in here with that. He's old! He's done! The darkness retreats, he stinks, I, uh, please don't do it, please let J. J. McCarthy have his time. They've got them surrounded by an offensive line, running backs, great receivers, stud tight end, like, it's ready to go, don't overthink it, don't sucker in on the shiny toy that's out there, please. I heard some very interesting speculation that I just want to leave you with. There is a wide receiver who's apparently unhappy with the team that they're with at the moment. And, you know, the 30 million dollars in cap space. Available. And you know the cap goes up every year. What if they brought in Tyreek Hill? I would love that. Wouldn't that be something? Steve has never heard of Tyreek Hill. No, he has too. Steve, tell me who your favorite Minnesota Viking is. If you say Fran Tarkinson, we're going to ask you to leave. Bud Grant. Bud Grant, yes. Did you ever collect baseball cards as a kid? No, but I did collect, uh, uh, Kiss Cards and, uh, Elvis Cards, and, uh, Did you actually? Yeah, they had those, remember? I had Star Wars cards. I had Star Wars too. Yeah. I had Star Wars cards. I was one of those Princess Leia ones. Come on now. Jesus. Well, this has been the Codiness Chronicles, uh, with, uh, our favorite Sorry. I don't know, morning, 60-year-old guy. I don't know what we've covered here. 58. Let's not add yours for God's sake. We talked about ai. Yeah, we talked, we talked about a lot of important things. Let's just remind everyone to, uh, practice or get on and get your, uh, Sunday uh oxytocin, Sunday Oxy to Sunday on Sunday evening. Taylor, Taylor, your evening, your, your consumption of your phone usage and your, your, uh, media. Tailor it. Get it, get it. Find things that are really interesting. You sent us that thing. Did you send it to us about that woman who was in the gym? Oh my God. That I'll, I'll get Lucy to post that to our people because that was so well done. This woman got some encouraging words from a stranger at a gym and it was so. So meaningful because she meant it and that's the kind of stuff you gotta see. Love, love, love it. And you know how I got that? How? I think because I manipulated my algorithms. There you go. It got sent to me and it was this kind of heavier woman. A woman, uh, she's been going to the gym every single day and she said she sees this guy, kind of a meathead looking guy, full of tattoos, piercings. She thought he was gonna like say something rude to her. And he came up, don't judge a book by its cover, and he came up to her and said, I've been noticing you at the gym and I just want to tell you how proud I am of you. And the woman's telling the story and she just starts to cry about it. That's what's touching about it, the way she explains that story, it's great. Yes, great. You know, no one ever says that to me when I'm at the gym, you know, why I don't get that either Do they say that Yeah, they do say that the donut like I've noticed that you've been here every Tuesday For the last six weeks. You're a good donut purchaser. You help out the people behind you You don't take all the cherry ones and you support local. It's right support and I always tip them John I'm proud of you, you know, can I tell Thank you, Steve. Yeah. Can I tell you that? I got one last thing, guys. Let's go. And uh, one of the gentlemen I worked with at the state tournament just on one of the mornings before the hockey games from Minnesota Live, um, it's Chris, is it Egert or? Yeah, Egert. Egert, yeah. He's fantastic. Seems like a nice guy. Him and Megan Newquist were so cool to work with. Bottom line is, he just sent out a hello, um, and she might be the answer to the question for you, John. If you had this, if you had to be stuck on the International Space Station with one person for eight months, who would it be? And I think it's a great question. He just. We did this out today. It's obviously timely with it's a good question to throw out there to our audience. Yeah, that's good. I've got my answer Princess Leia No, she's deceased more more topical with modern times. She's no longer with us Scarlett Johansson No, Sidney Sweeney. Oh KG you pervert I was gonna say my wife Yeah. Oh, you were so, you're full of it, you're so full of it! Remember, you gotta, you gotta spend time, you're trapped in outer space. Let's think about this. That's a good idea. I'm not gonna just throw out something. All of our significant others will probably strangle us. I gotta think about this. Well, I mean I don't know why you would say that to the 60, 000 listeners that we have. I'm just trying to be honest and keep it real. Um, nobody wants, nobody like, Chrissy does not want to spend 8 months up there with me. I have anxiety when I'm trapped for 8 hours. I mean, 8 months? No chance. You know, actually, when I think of it, I would probably want to have somebody up there that I really don't like. Because they would, it would be a torture chamber for them to be with me. No, that's terrible. That's not very kind. Well, no, it's Who doesn't like you? Yeah. Well, where do we start? I think I'd choose someone that was much smarter than me, that knew how to survive in terrible situations because you don't know what's going to happen in space. What if you were stuck up there with a guy that just wants to tell dad jokes? Oh, no. I think I might jump. I think I might just jump. So here's a quick, who wouldn't you want to be stuck up there with? What are we doing? We should have finished this 6 minutes ago. I think it's Hey, since you know Megan Newquist, maybe we could have her on the program someday. Yeah, it's a good guess. You know, we're still waiting on Yogi Berra's daughter. Does she even exist? No, we got her. She is committed to the show. Yogi Berra's granddaughter will be on the show. Baseball season. is right around the corner. That's what we've been waiting for. That's what we've been waiting for. We, uh, we didn't talk about St. Patrick's Day or anything, but it was yesterday. Oh, yeah. We kind of missed that, but I guess Hey, our friend, uh, uh, Todd Hurley was Mr. Pat. He has no hurls. No way. Yeah, he was Mr. Pat, like the, St. Patrick's Day The guy, the parade, he was Mr. Mr. Pat? Yeah, he was Mr. Pat. He's the, uh, the CEO of the, the, uh, what do they call it? The, the river, the port Authority. Okay. Yeah. So does he wear like a big green hat and does he like, kind of march around? What does he do? Yeah, he suppose that guy, he dresses up like, uh, a leprechaun, a leprechaun. Throws candy at kids and stuff. Throws candy at kids trying to knock their, poke their eye out. Oh, that's kind of cool. Who are those guys in those red jumpsuits that like run over a kid? The Vulcans. The Vulcans. Yeah. That's a winter carnival thing. Yeah, they used to have fun. They don't get to have that much fun anymore. Capriculture took care of that. Well, that and I think a little bit of groping might have had something to do with it. Whiskey and groping is frowned upon. Generally speaking. Okay. You know what? Go do your oxytocin. We'll see you next week and off we go.
