Ep. 58 - The Slack Doctors Episode 58 Dr. Bob's Birthday Rant

The Docs are in trouble with YouTube again (Rules for thee not for me). Dr. Bob rants for almost ten minutes about corporate policy and hypocrisy. The Docs surf Zillow and after applying some filters reveal a bright blue pattern (as far as the eye can see). Are governments really seeking an A.I. Oracle of Delphi? Elon wants to put datacenters in space, hopefully in person. Florida is trying out a "charging lane", Dr. Bob sees some issues. Dr. Chip puts Dr. Bob in the hot seat (Happy Birthday to Isael?). The Docs review a clip of Jaden Smith's competition. The Docs discuss some ideas for the show- Test Scam?- Joke Swap? Dr. Chip opted out of the smart phone revolution. Anybody else miss their 90's tech? Is it travelling?- Noooooo. Our international policy has come down to McDonald's vs Chinese Takeout (Trump's apparent metric). Kevin O'Leary spills the beans on true motive. Yet another graduating class boos A.I.(these speakers really should start reading the room).

Transcript

SPEAKER_17 0:34

All right, ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages, we are assembled once again for another episode of the Slack Doctors. Uh I am Dr. Chip. I am Dr. Bob.

SPEAKER_18 0:49

Even now, I'm so still so mad about the several emails that I got the night of my birthday, right before the birth, you know, literally like midnight or whatever, so I was pissed off. Uh but you probably shouldn't have included uh and children of all ages in our intro because YouTube wants to know if you make anything for kids. It's an entirely new list of parameters that you have to follow and guidelines.

SPEAKER_17 1:11

I didn't even think of that. I didn't even think about that. Sorry.

SPEAKER_18 1:15

Alright, so we can always fix it in editing, thanks to the magic of me being the producer. Um, all right, so I'm just gonna share the emails themselves and rant uh about them as we go along. You should really elaborate while you're doing that, what they are. They're they're they're trying to do it. So what happened is that one of our videos was taken down. Now we've had issues with copyright infringement before, which we're slowly figuring out and go, and we are getting better at it. But this is the first time we've ever been had a video removed for uh violating their community guidelines. All right, so we'll read this and then I'll explain as we go along. Hi, the sloth doctors. Because we originally, that was our name, I guess we're stuck with it as far as YouTube is concerned. Whatever. It looks like Dr. Chip wants to help at the Slack Doctors didn't follow community guidelines to help keep our community safe. We removed it from YouTube. What we found. We think your content didn't follow our self-harm policy. Now, this video was Dr. Chip rightfully making fun of the clavicular guy who's all the looks maxing guy who taps himself with a ball peen hammer to strengthen the length of his jawline or some insanity like that. I don't know. I'm working on myself. In no way were we promoting it, we were not glorifying it. And this thing includes glorify suicide, self-harm. I guess YouTube can write you in the in an email the word suicide, but you can't say it on YouTube. You gotta say unalive. Uh self-harm or eating disorders. None of that was uh obviously, but I guess self-harm will be the only thing it could have been. Um so that it's it's taken down, you know, it impacts you, whatever. So, uh, first they sent me that. Now the next one is the one that really pissed me off, right? Talk about covering your ass from YouTube. Hi there. We're reaching out because members of the YouTube community, including fellow creators, viewers, or staff, have expressed concern for your safety or well-being after coming across content you posted with topics referring to blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. And then references the video again. If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thinking, self-harming, or eating disorders, know that there is help and you're not alone. It's not uncommon to you know, blah, blah, blah. Then they basically, you know, contact localists, whatever. Please take care of the YouTube team. You had me at I said that really pissed me off. That really, really set me off. So when I uh when I looked it up, um, it said that you could appeal it, right? So I clicked appeal, thinking certainly a little box would open up so that I could type in why I think this was an you know improper strike. All it does is say, Thanks, we'll review it again. Well, you didn't give me a chance to explain anything, so nothing about the video has changed. So, how in the hell would it possibly all right? So, another thing I'd like to point out there are thousands of videos on YouTube featuring this guy, every one of them showing the same footage that we showed, all and all kinds of other sites, too. How come none of those videos get stricken down, right? It doesn't make any sense to me at all. And then another thought occurred to me while I was waiting today to even connect and you know, get on the pod. Um clearly somebody got triggered by this, and it's gonna it's some young iget, uh iget galute that's out there popping himself in the face with a hammer, who got mad because we made fun of it and so reported us.

SPEAKER_17 4:44

It watches our show though.

SPEAKER_18 4:46

No, no, okay. No, so it was clearly only reported because they outs they saw the short. Okay, right? They saw the little short. Well, that's reaching. The reason they saw it somebody, the reason they saw it is because in the hashtags when I filled out the description for it, I put looks maxing. Uh so any of these young guys that are always watching things about looks maxing, the algorithm is gonna push that short to them, they're gonna see it. One of them apparently took Umbrage and reported it.

SPEAKER_15 5:18

Oh, definitely.

SPEAKER_18 5:18

And the reason I say that is because when I posted it, it passed the guidelines. So when YouTube reviewed it before they even allow you to post it, it passed it. And here's the more important part it's they haven't reported it for being in the in the episode, it's in the episode, all the shorts come out of the episode, right? So therefore, it's okay when it's you know hidden in the middle of a one hour, but if you do it for 45 seconds, it's a problem. And then there's so many contradictions and so much hypocrisy.

SPEAKER_17 5:47

Not only that, let's look, let's talk about what was said on the episode about it. Nothing was said about it that would indicate that we were gonna hurt ourselves. I offered to hit other kids in the face. The key word here is sarcasm, right? Comedy. I mean, even if you're not doctors, even if you took it literally, it doesn't really indicate any of that shit that they're saying.

SPEAKER_18 6:12

It was uh it was uh inflicting harm on another. It was not self-harm, exactly, it was you volunteering to help these guys out. Is your arm getting tired? Does your chin still need a little work? Call me. You guys aren't doctors? Yeah, right. Oh shit, I forgot I wasn't supposed to say that.

SPEAKER_17 6:27

And then you've clearly figured out the you know, the the key to the algorithm is the is the the keywords. That's apparently yeah, yeah, the hashtags. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_18 6:35

Well, yeah, I know. That's why and also every one of our episodes, hashtag comedy, hashtag podcast.

SPEAKER_17 6:41

Dude, that was the name of one of my best bands I was ever in. Hashtag. It was great. That was a killer band.

SPEAKER_18 6:48

Pat Ferenc are old enough to remember when that was the number sign.

SPEAKER_17 6:51

Pat Farinas named it, the the guy from the Flyers, Pat Patrick, because he that's because I would look at his Facebook posts and he had about 50 of those hashtag Gibson, hashtag Fender, you know, hashtag Hammond, hashtag this, hashtag that. And I was like, hashtag, that'd be a pretty good name for a band. And it was, it was great. He's like a little dollar sign for the S. It was a killer. Anyway, so there is there more, more to the rant?

SPEAKER_18 7:16

No, not. Oh, yes, there is more to the rant.

SPEAKER_08 7:19

I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_18 7:25

So when I when I went to investigate further on YouTube, it there's two, and it says take action. One is to appeal, which I did, and I already explained. They gave me no room to reply. It was just push a button and it says, Yeah, we'll review it again. And they have already, within an hour, they sent me an email saying, No, you know, we reviewed it again and it still can't be shown, same reasons. Um but the other thing that they offered is under the take action clause was all right, so basically, if you get a strike like this, it comes off in like 90 days or whatever, but if you get three of them within a certain period of time, they kill your channel. Your whole channel is taken down, all your stuff, right? Which is horrible. Obviously, we don't want that to happen. One of the ways they said I could uh I think I could shorten it from 90 days to a week, having this infraction removed, much like uh getting points taken off of your driver's license by attending driving school, they offered me some sort of I can only imagine horrific uh seminar video session, seven videos. I didn't even I didn't investigate further to see how it is because frankly, even if I was making money from doing this, which I'm not, only no, in no way, shape, or form am I willing to jump through YouTube's HR whatever sensitivity training, whatever it is they want to call it.

SPEAKER_17 8:48

No. Oh man, yeah, that would be insane. So uh don't forget we're on Rumble, uh too. Yeah, just in case.

SPEAKER_18 8:56

We do put on the battery and again, yeah, this has nothing to do with legality, it's clearly all corporate policy because not only has Rumble not said anything about this, we've never gotten a copyright strike on Rumble on anything, or from or from uh you know, the Spotify or any of those other people either, right?

SPEAKER_17 9:14

Yeah, yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_18 9:15

But that's uh most of the times then we get in trouble. I think it's well, no, actually it has mostly been audio. So yeah, you would think that if it was a yeah, yeah. I guess the Russians are not listening to Spotify. It's always complain about our use of the Mumbai Python.

SPEAKER_17 9:32

Or as I like to call it JuTube. Um, anyway.

SPEAKER_15 9:35

Have you guys thought about offering large sums of money?

SPEAKER_17 9:39

No, that's absolutely yeah, that's off the table. I mean, maybe. I mean, if we made money, maybe, but uh, yeah, no. I mean, maybe next year if I if I if I got to cash in my dad's.

SPEAKER_18 9:50

Yeah, that's the that that really struck me about the whole attend these video training seminar sessions. It's like you you guys know that our you haven't monetized our channel yet. So is that like making the intern go to the yeah, whatever.

SPEAKER_17 10:04

It's crazy. It's crazy. All right. Speaking of crazy, the first thing I wanted to do today is explain South Florida real estate and just explain what a dichotomy it is right now. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna get us on Zillow here and I'm gonna show you something. First of all, even just um where's Zillow? Even just uh when you go on here. All right, so let's look at this. 22,000. I mean, this is a basically this the area that I'm we're looking at from West Palm down to like Lauderdale. All right, so as you see, there's 21,500 some odd results before I hit any filters. So then we start with the filters. First thing you do is you get rid of the HOA, and then we also just like to look at the foreclosures too. Just because they're always interesting. All right, then we go to property type, and we get rid of all the crap, the manufacture, the apartments, the lots, the condos. We leave multifamily, but we get I used to look at townhomes, but there's no way that townhomes don't have an HOA, so screw that. So we go to three or well, I didn't even look at what we were down to yet. So we go to three, two, let's apply that. Now we're already down from twenty thousand to thirty, eight hundred results. Okay? Now let's see where the average price is for this. Seems to be right about there. All right, so the average price is about 500K. All right, let's apply that. And now we're down to 959 results. And it seems like I looked earlier and there was even less than that. I think it was actually a smaller section of the of the map or something. All right, so that's on the East Coast. 595 results. And if you look through them, you you don't really get a lot for uh this don't look bad, but it's almost 500 grand. It's in Lake Worth. Yeah, you know, you to tell you the truth, a lot of these are kind of scary. Wait a minute, how are we getting more than five? Oh, I'm up at 550, that's why. But uh, you know, you you really look and you really don't get that much over here for three to five hundred grand. All right, so let's do this then. Let's without changing the size of the map, just go straight over to the west coast, over to Fort Myers, same size section. And how many results were there before? Seven or eight hundred, nine hundred? Now there's thirty, nine hundred resort results.

SPEAKER_18 12:35

Yeah, because everybody's terrified to buy there and get destroyed by the next you know, Gulf hurricane.

SPEAKER_17 12:41

Well, not only that, if you go through the results, a ton of them are new construction. A lot of them are brand new. And you can do this all anywhere, basically on the West Coast. Like you just not even Fort Byers, not even Tampa. There's still 1,400 results. That's you know, twice as much as that whole metro area. All right, so you go up here to like Tampa, St. Pete, same amount of area, 2,800 results.

SPEAKER_18 13:07

That really, yeah. Well, that right there is the Gulf Coast death zone spot.

SPEAKER_17 13:11

But I mean. And then not only that, I mean, looky, look at what you you get twice as much house. Although I must say there's a lot of disparity because you'll see like something that looks like a really good deal, then you look at the next house and it's a total rebuild for like the same price. It's like, wait a minute, who the fuck's gonna buy that? But uh, yeah, see, like over here, you can even like we can lower the price. See, see how it changes? It like the average goes down to uh from five to then like there's also a peak average down here at like 375. And see now, even that even that has more results than the than the than the East Coast. And hey man, I'm down for the West Coast or Melbourne. Well, and the other thing is it's kind of the same thing with rentals, although I must say, those rental things I've been getting, I mean, they're up to almost 500 listings an email now, which is insane. That's that's just a lot of fucking places for rent around here, and and and rental prices are dropping. So I assume eventually the the housing prices on this coast will drop. But one of the other options I was thinking we might want to do is before we buy a place over there, we should just go over there and rent for a year. And see, you know, see if we like it. And then by then, either it'll be really cheap over there and the other the other side will be crashing too, and we'll make the decision from then or or whatever. And then I I gotta tell you the tell you the truth, the other thing that I was talking about is I was talking to my cousin Mike, and for whatever reason he mentioned Austin again. And I looked at Austin and I found us a place in Austin, it it it was a duplex, so he and his girl would have to go in on half half with us, but for 500 grand, we could get a duplex in Austin, really nice, like upgraded, ready to move in, with two four-bedroom, two-bath sides on each side. Giant duplexes giant four bedrooms and two baths each side, listed as a as an eight-bedroom, four-bath structure, five hundred grand. I mean, that's 250 each side. That's the shit. And we and it's been on the market for like a year. So you could probably get it for like 450, 400. I I'm thinking that you know, ask the magic number, 420. That's our lucky number. You take that much? But anyway, and then of course, the other thing I wanted to uh to share is is exactly what you you were talking about um as far as the uh the fear. And let me show you what exactly why that is a valid, absolutely valid fear. Is I was looking at this. As far as the eye can see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like this place is a perfect example. I was looking at this for a rental. $2,100 a month. It's it's giant, 4-2. It's a beautiful place. But the thing that struck me is watch, look at this photo. When you and as you can see, the place is nice. I mean, it's not a bad place at all. I mean, I don't know if they just fixed it up because it just has been flooded, but it looks, you know, completely upgraded, nice. But here's the shot I wanted to to show. Is it that one? Oh yeah, wait a minute. Let me see. Yeah. Look at some of these. Yeah, like look at this shot.

SPEAKER_15 16:22

Oh, the blue tarp.

SPEAKER_17 16:24

Well, not only that doesn't make it any bigger. That actually makes it smaller. That's stupid. But anyway, not only the blue tarps, but there used to be houses on all these lots. Yeah. These, you know, this this wasn't this wasn't built like this. Like this one, you could say, you see, they just scrubbed this one. I mean, there used to be houses all in these places. So it's like moving into a graveyard. I'm telling you. And then you and then obviously look at all the blue tarps. As far as the eye can see, still people with blue tarps on their loofs. It's like, Jesus Christ. But anyway. All right. So yeah, that that should clear up the whole situation in Florida. And it's to tell you the truth, the West Coast is almost like that all the way up until like Panama City. It's just cheap as hell. You can buy any, and for the same exact reason. I mean, every bit of that got pounded by Ian and what was the name of the other Miriam or something like that? The other one. Both of those and nobody Helene? Was it what yeah, uh yeah, I think it was Helene. Or was it yeah, something like that. I forget. Or no. I thought one of them was named Tammy for some reason because of my exponential. But you know, and the problem is you don't really in a lot of those communities which are built, I I don't know if you've ever seen some of the aerial photographs of some of the places like uh Cape Coral and some of those places that are like well, it's not so much Cape Coral. I don't think I think Cape Coral is less uh is more just spontaneous building. But some of these place places were designed that every frickin' house in the neighborhood is on a canal that connects to the in you know into the coast will get you out to the ocean.

SPEAKER_18 17:58

It is Cape, it's Cape Coral, and it's uh also I think they hold the distinction of the um the city with the most waterways. Okay, whatever.

SPEAKER_17 18:06

Somewhere over like even more than Venice. Right. But the problem is the storm doesn't have to even hit you. All it has to do is create storm surge, and all of a sudden that lovely canal that's in your backyard is now in your kitchen. You know, that's the big problem with those places, and that's why they won't let you rebuild them without putting them on stilts.

SPEAKER_18 18:25

But yeah, but then you put them on stilts, they're more likely to get blown down by wind.

SPEAKER_17 18:29

Uh not well, I mean, it depends on the stilts. You make the stilts out of concrete and you're you're you're fine, you know. You put them on wood stilts, you could have a problem. And and then again, you know, the stilts are only as good as the foundation. If the foundation gets eroded away, it's all gonna fall down anyway, too. So but yeah. But I mean, and that's if another I mean, how long have people lived over there and never got bothered by a storm like that? Decades and decades and decades and never had any problem. Then all of a sudden two of them, bam, bam, and everybody's scared shitless. But it you know, it cost a shit ton of money.

SPEAKER_15 18:58

What about beautiful coral springs?

SPEAKER_17 19:01

Yeah, that's we looked, we get like we like we said, we we looked at a place. The only problem that place we looked at is it it's a townhouse, and you know it's got an HOA and stupid rules and stuff like that. Plus, it's you know, it's still it's still probably got a ways to come down. The problem is people are still I mean, even as the prices come down, people are buying things. I mean, it's not like I mean a lot of real estate people are definitely hurting for money, but somebody's closing on some. It's not much, but something somewhere is getting sold. But anyway. All right, so uh what do you got anything? Oh, you know, we should probably do the voicemails.

SPEAKER_18 19:36

Yeah, there's like four of them, I think. Yeah, I think I left a couple of them.

SPEAKER_16 19:40

Well, meanwhile, I'm an idiot to figure this out all the way, but apparently the idiot that have got everybody convinced that AI is the negative thing. I've never heard anything so completely ridiculous in my life. I mean, it certainly can compute the chances of things that might happen in the future very quickly, but it can also get every one of them computations wrong, and any one of them that's wrong is gonna anyway, we'll we'll talk about it.

SPEAKER_17 20:17

Yeah, that seems to be their end goal with the AI, as as self-professed by some of the PayPal mafia themselves, is that they're trying to create this supercomputer that will be able to predict the future.

SPEAKER_18 20:31

I feel like there's no positive end game to AI. I can't stand AI. Well, I either the worst thing does happen, and it it, you know, whatever it becomes a super intelligence, or it just just drains the electricity from the entire planet in the massive consumption.

SPEAKER_17 20:49

I've heard good news on that front. Um Elon is talking about putting his data centers in space. I like that idea. Unfurl your solar, you're unfurl your solar panels and and gr get all your power from the sun and knock yourselves out. I I like that idea. You know what else? I I I think I got I think I have a clip of it in here too, maybe somewhere, but they're uh somewhere in Florida, there they have a very interesting idea. They're making a lane on the highway that'll charge your Tesla.

SPEAKER_09 21:24

Let's see more about this. Florida is testing roads that charge electric vehicles while you drive. The SR 516 project, located near Orlando, will include a 0.75 mile wireless charging test section built directly into the highway. Specially equipped EVs will be able to recharge while moving. Testing will begin in phases starting in 2026 as part of the SR 516 Lake Orange Expressway. This could be a game changer for EV owners and for the future of infrastructure in Florida. The future of charging may happen under your tires, if successful. Wireless charging roads could reduce charging stops, shrink battery sizes, and change. How future EVs are built. Florida is becoming one of the first states testing this technology on an actual highway. This is one of the first real-world highway tests in America.

SPEAKER_18 22:09

So basically, they're creating a trolley.

SPEAKER_17 22:12

Well, kinda. A trolley that, you know, once you're charged up, you can pull back in the fast lane and off you go. Right.

SPEAKER_18 22:18

I can't imagine how hard it's going to be to collect data at cars moving at highway speeds for only three quarters of a mile. The amount of charge that they're going to get is going to be so in so small that it's going to be really hard for them to gather data on how effective this is. Um not to not to imagine. I can see future problems. Uh the one of the funnier ones would be tweakers with sledgehammers trying to pull the copper out of the road. No. But other than that, seeing as how if that lane is kept on the right, I can also see cheapos and desperate people just lining their cars up and turning that lane into a parking lane where you just sit there and continue to charge for free. Oh, yeah. No, you can't do that. You can't go back to the room. But I can't imagine the cost of installing that into the roads, you know, into highways at at scale.

unknown 23:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_17 23:11

I don't know. I don't know. I it could be expensive. Interesting. The government's doing sure it's good. Um, but back to your other point about those the tweakers stealing the copper, I should remind everybody how much copper there is in a flock camera. Yeah, apparently there's a gram of gold, too. There you go. Um, but yeah, I don't know. I mean, obviously it's they're gonna try it out, see how it works. But I mean, if it works, especially, I mean, and I and I've always said that pure electric cars are kind of stupid, but the hybrid ones that are electric and a gas, if they worked on those even too, would even be even be great. You wouldn't have to use any gas, you know, if you didn't have to. So I don't know. I I think it's got potential, but like you say, it's it could be a waste of time, but we'll see what happens.

SPEAKER_16 23:52

Hey, uh Bill Mayer says that anybody that doesn't wish Israel a happy birthday since May 15th was their birthday or something like that, uh, is anti-Semitic. So I was gonna give Dr. Bob's uh take on this since he's the closest thing to an actual Jew, uh, and see if he's willing to bend the knee and wish the happy birthday or if he's a self-hating Jew.

SPEAKER_18 24:19

Uh all right, self-hating is a strong term. And by the way, talking about not getting birthday wishes, uh, I didn't get a call from you yesterday, Dr. Chip. I dude, I don't remember what day your birthday is. I'm sorry, bro. Just fucking with you. I don't remember May 15th for Israel either.

SPEAKER_17 24:35

Um apparently you got the same birthday almost. You went Israel.

SPEAKER_18 24:41

Exactly. So I should be all for it. Right. But yeah, as a nation state, as a political organization, as a as a militar, as as a world power, I'm not a fan. I'm also not a big fan of just giving places like as far as saying somebody is owed land. I mean, every country has been invaded and reinvaded so many times. How would you ever sort out who gets to have what?

SPEAKER_17 25:04

Yeah, I should go back to England. I could easily claim land in England, go, hey, this is my land. Get the hell out, you know. And if you don't get out, I'm gonna kill you and your friends and your family and your neighbors, and yeah, yeah. Anyway, yeah, but I mean if you didn't not a fan of their actions, not a fan, yeah, not a fan. But the point is, I was gonna I was actually gonna go ahead and do like a a a real takedown of Bill Mayer on his last opa episode where he did this rant. But so many people online have already done it and just eviscerated him for for every bit of the bullshit that he tried to pull. He tried to he told so many lies and bullshit, and it's like, come on, man. It was it was crazy. So one of the things I I I know I sent you, I don't know if you had ready to share this, but I figured this would be perfectly time to time to share this one. I wonder if these people that this one pulled up too. Yeah, I wonder if these people had uh listened to Bill Mayer. Why is this not playing? Oh, it's muted. I don't think they say much anywhere. Really just a bunch of singing mostly. Anyway, the point of it being that it's a huge political uh protest against Israel by all these Hasidic Jews that are like, you know, yeah, they are anti-Zionists. So yeah, Bill Mayer.

SPEAKER_18 26:36

Most of the anti-Zionists in those those religious subgroups there in Israel and uh other places in the world, their primary opposition to it is that it was not founded by the return of the Jewish Messiah, which they think is necessary before it can be Israel. Yeah. So there's once again, there's still thousand-year-old weird stone age, you know, things that are controlling everything that all of these organizations are doing.

SPEAKER_17 27:00

Yeah, but the fact that Bill Mayer thinks that whole crowd of Jews is anti-Semites is like, okay, whatever you say. But uh in congruency to your point that uh they are seeming seem to be uh looking towards the end of the world, I I did want to put this out there. And this this seems that we're getting close to pre peak peak dystopianism from this freaking kid. Apparently, this kid's the biggest thing on the on the on the fashion scene.

SPEAKER_18 27:30

When I first saw this, I thought it was Jaden Smith.

SPEAKER_17 27:42

Bad drip, all right. If it's in a different language, I don't think we have to listen to it. But yeah, I mean it's the kid's got a fashion sense.

SPEAKER_18 27:53

You know, at first I thought it was Jaden Smith. Right.

SPEAKER_17 27:57

Not that far off, really. I mean, Jay's just got money and he's just cleaner.

SPEAKER_18 28:03

Jaden Smith wishes he had this much authenticity.

SPEAKER_17 28:05

Right. I mean, this kid is I mean, from what he's with what he's working with, he's actually, you know.

SPEAKER_18 28:12

Got a little Bootsy Collins look going on, right?

SPEAKER_17 28:14

Right. And what's with the little seesaw thing he's standing on, though? That's the little accent part that you know, not everybody would think to do that.

SPEAKER_18 28:22

Now he's maybe he's on a boat and it's the only way he can't.

SPEAKER_17 28:26

Maybe now he's Pepe Le Pew or something. What is that? Yeah, this kid's wild, man. Let's see who's gonna turn into. Oh, that's the one that they were just showing. The rubber man.

SPEAKER_18 28:36

That person's a little too big. But they had well, you know.

SPEAKER_17 28:40

But you could see this guy, I mean, they would cast this guy in a heartbeat on in like Mad Max or something like that. He'd he could do the whole uh wardrobe for the whole thing. See, that doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_18 28:51

Yeah, he should get into uh costume design for movies, steampunk or something like stuff like that.

SPEAKER_17 28:56

He could go crazy.

SPEAKER_18 28:58

Uh you want to go back to voicemails? Oh, yeah, yeah, we got some more of those. I forgot. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_16 29:03

All right, here we go. A quick idea for the show. I don't know if we could we didn't do it on the show, we'd have to do it off the show and kind of play this quick. But I'm suggesting we do some research, find out what the newest, coolest Nigerian print scam or whatever it is, on you know, whatever telephone scam they're they're running right now. You're so old. Figure out the exact dialogue on how to do it and call our friends and see if anybody falls for it.

SPEAKER_18 29:31

I only said the old comment because telephone scam. It was all internet scams, but yes, uh, you do use the same thing.

SPEAKER_17 29:39

People still call me trying to scam me over the phone. It's it's ridiculous.

SPEAKER_18 29:43

But yeah, that's a good idea. You know, what's funny is I had a weird idea for something to do for the show, too. And I'm not sure if you're up for it or if you think it's a good idea, but one of the only things that SNL has done that's consistently funny for the last many years is uh the end of the season when uh Colin Jost and Michael Shea write jokes for each other.

SPEAKER_17 30:04

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_18 30:05

And and give each other jokes that they know are horrible and ruthless. Now, the only problem with this idea is that we're really going to be skirting the uh the YouTube. Yeah. But wait a minute. They get away with it on NBC. They get away with it. Yeah, SNL shows their clips on YouTube. So anyway, it's just a thought. Well, then we also have to try to write jokes, which you know. That's true. But I think we could, you know, we could do write three jokes.

SPEAKER_17 30:30

Yeah, I can I can write a couple of jokes. Yeah. You know, it's funny. Once you try to write some jokes, you get respect for those guys that like do it all the time. Like, yeah, I guess it is. Yeah, I'm not trying to imply that it's easy. No, no, no. Our jokes will suck. But two minutes, anyway. But I think I could hammer out a couple. I've written a couple of all right jokes. Yeah, I was trying jokes on you for a while. I made you laugh with a couple of them. Yeah. Anyway, all right, what's the next last one?

SPEAKER_16 30:56

Okay, full disclosure. This is from a uh a very informed source, uh Bill Mayer, boomer, extraordinaire. Of course, he knows everything. But according to him, Gen Alpha is giving up on the cell phone. Uh, to which I say, I guess I missed the whole movement. I I I never went in on the cell phone thing, other than talking and texting and possibly taking some pictures. So I guess I missed a whole generational movement. Slept right through it.

SPEAKER_18 31:33

I would say that all that is perfectly makes sense, except you got to remove the word sell and replace it with smart. It's not a problem of cell phones, it's the smartphones.

SPEAKER_17 31:42

Correct. Yeah, you're correct. You're correct. Matter of semantics, but you're absolutely correct. Yeah. But it wouldn't that be amazing that if I just dipped out of a whole segment of history, like, yeah, remember the cell vote or the smartphone, you know, era? I'm like, nope. How Amish of you. Nope. Yeah, right. Very well, speaking of which, uh, that leads right into the next clip here. Uh-oh. Which uh call me Segway. I don't know if we could do this because I don't have anything I would be able to do it with. Check this out. I can play this song. All right. Have you got anything to play a VCR?

SPEAKER_18 32:46

I have no, I have no VHS. I have the only thing I could play, I could play a DVD or a Blu-ray on my PS4.

SPEAKER_17 32:56

I was gonna say that they have a they have a uh a video game here too, like a PS2 or something like that.

SPEAKER_18 33:02

But yeah, they got video tapes, DVDs, uh CDs. The other night lost internet and my whole yeah, my whole living room became instantly useless.

SPEAKER_17 33:12

Oh yeah, dude, yeah. When I lose internet, it's like fuck, what am I gonna do now? Right.

SPEAKER_18 33:17

You might as well leave the house. I do. That's basically what you gotta do. I gotta go. Gotta go somewhere.

SPEAKER_17 33:21

Might as well go somewhere and do something. All right. Did you have any other uh clips picked out?

SPEAKER_18 33:26

Well, I do, and actually the reason I said uh call me Segway is because I thought you were gonna share this, which I think, man. Well, you'll see when we get to the uh all right. Oh, I forgot about this one.

SPEAKER_08 33:42

What all right?

SPEAKER_18 33:52

So when you sent this to me, the subject of it was vampire dancing, which does come to mind the way they glide, but I read the description of what they're doing, and supposedly it's this order that they they're doing this on their tiptoes very, very fast. Well, not only that, show me I don't buy it, and the showbody doesn't buy it is because the lump in the robe, I think they're riding segues.

SPEAKER_16 34:16

That guy's riding a segue.

SPEAKER_17 34:19

Well, except at the end uh it's too smooth.

SPEAKER_15 34:25

We seem that way for them to do their feet. It's too smooth.

SPEAKER_08 34:29

Wait till the end though.

SPEAKER_17 34:34

The Dracula part. What? Okay. Well, and not only that only that the first time I watched it, I didn't have sound. So in my mind, it was a lot more ominous music going on. After I heard that music, it was like, oh, that's kind of disarming now that you hear that little you know accordion music or whatever. But yeah, I was looking at that like, what the fuck kind of vampire shit is this? That was pretty wild.

SPEAKER_15 35:01

So what they were using their feet, yeah, apparently. Wow, that was amazing.

SPEAKER_17 35:06

But I mean, think about it. If you're, you know, live in Vienna in the fucking 15th century, 16th century, and that guy starts, you know, doing that around the room, that's a goddamn vampire. I'm sorry. It's I believe in vampires now. I mean, of course they're real. Black cape doesn't help make anybody feel any safer either. I mean, that would convince me. I'm like, okay, I maybe there's something to this vampire thing.

SPEAKER_18 35:29

Um certainly moves in an unnatural manner, right?

SPEAKER_17 35:33

All right, and speaking of um of leaps of faith, um, I I caught this thing about basketball, which as we all know now, is not exactly above boards. But this guy makes it all too uh all too clear.

SPEAKER_06 35:50

So when a player takes more than two steps after gathering the ball, it's called traveling, which means this would be one, two, three. Yeah, that would be traveling.

SPEAKER_12 36:00

No, what do you think? It's not traveling, you know. So it's because the player didn't take more than two steps after gathering the ball. See what I mean? One step, two steps. That's why. But if a player moves his established pivot foot, then it would be traveling, which means this would be that would definitely be traveling. No it's not traveling, Yosia. Let's take a step back. So when a player takes more than two steps after gathering the ball, it's called traveling, which means this would be so that is that's the same thing Steph Curry did. That's traveling. No, what would you think? It's not traveling, Yelsea. But Steph Curry did the same thing and got called for traveling. So why isn't James Hardin's traveling? It's because that's why.

SPEAKER_15 36:59

Oh, that's funny.

SPEAKER_17 37:00

It's funny but true. It's only funny because it's true. Because that's why. Yeah, that's it. You know, we know we know NBA is completely above boards, and they would never do anything to to affect the betting of a game. Anyway. All right, I have to go look for more clips unless you got one left.

SPEAKER_18 37:20

So did you uh bring any of the clips with uh Trump talking about Chinese food and the No, no, yeah.

SPEAKER_17 37:27

I hadn't got any of that yet.

SPEAKER_18 37:30

I got those I got that ready to go. Alright, yeah, that's a good one.

SPEAKER_15 37:33

Oh, you've got that now? Ready to go?

SPEAKER_18 37:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15 37:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 37:41

As allies in World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt's mentions of the rain people of China through loud cheers and his speeches in the United States. Everybody loved what he had to say.

SPEAKER_04 37:56

Just as many Chinese now love basketball and blue jeans, Chinese restaurants in America today outnumber the five largest fast food chains in the United States, all combined. That's a pretty big statement.

SPEAKER_18 38:10

Come on. You know how much that hurt him to say that with his love of McDonald's? It must break his heart to say something like that. Like he actually probably thinks that that is a heartfelt matters.

SPEAKER_17 38:23

Of any measurement of anything about the fucking restaurant that matters to him. Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_00 38:38

Exactly.

SPEAKER_17 38:56

That's why I said believe this idiot thinks that a Chinese restaurant and McDonald's are important. What the hell? That's why I put the translation thing. Yeah, it's like, what the hell is going on here?

SPEAKER_18 39:07

Yeah. But that brings me to the next thing I want to share, which is somebody just parroting along. That is an important metric.

SPEAKER_05 39:17

Inroads into the American restaurant scene. Uh, but get this there are over 20,000 McCall, Taco Bells, and Tansies and shit. Shout out. And they're growing every year.

SPEAKER_13 39:32

5,000. And once the United States gets the best food into a country, that's it. Fried chicken, Big Macs, chalupas.

SPEAKER_18 39:41

So you're admitting that the thing we eat ourselves, that once we get it into another country, that's it, they're done. Yep, that's it. That's his place.

SPEAKER_13 39:48

They start listening to our music, watching our movies, they start marrying our women. I'm just kidding, we don't allow that. But that's basically now an American colony. We got them hooked, and it's pretty much over.

SPEAKER_07 40:00

Yeah, that's how that works.

SPEAKER_13 40:01

The Chinese have a history of expanding and then collapsing. Expanding and then collapsing. So Trump, the strategy is ride it out peacefully.

SPEAKER_18 40:10

Yeah, they have a history of doing that for thousands of years. That should be slightly concerning.

SPEAKER_13 40:17

As they expand alongside them peacefully, and when they collapse, you feast on their carcass. Uh the Chinese have made major inroads into the American restaurant scene. Uh, but get there.

SPEAKER_18 40:33

It's looped over again. Yeah. They looped it so well they caught me off guard. I know, yeah.

SPEAKER_17 40:37

This that guy is such a fucking tool, an idiot. But in in a similar in in a similar vein, I got one um that I thought was pretty funny. Also about the Chinese visit. This is hilarious. Another Fox uh Fox News thing.

SPEAKER_05 41:06

And nobody jailed because they could get a ticket right away.

SPEAKER_01 41:20

In fact, our driver parked illegally for two minutes, and he got a message on his phone that he got a ticket for about 40 bucks US because they saw it on the camera. Now there are real questions what the CCP's goal is about citizen tracking and social scoring. They say it's to make everybody feel safe. These cameras are watching every minute, they're everywhere. And while they're watching us here in China, we hope you continue to watch special report from Beijing.

SPEAKER_17 41:50

So I feel like pulling up there's a scene from Tommy Boy where he goes into a store and he's talking to the clerk and he's trying to get directions and he acts really sarcastic. And the guy goes, I'm sensing your sarcasm. I think I'm sensing the hypocrisy here. Uh these are the guys that want JD Thiel, uh, you know, JD Vance. I'm sorry, I called him, I called him by his husband's name. Sorry, JD Thiel to be the next fucking president. And this is what we're gonna get. They're like chilling for this 24-7, and then as soon as they see it, they bitch about it. Like, well, duh. Yeah, what do you think? What do you think all the flock cameras are? The same, you know, they're just ahead of me. Just unabashedly walk around with this kind of hypocrisy like it's nothing. Like, what how did what kind of moron looks at that except for that Doherty guy, which I should have pointed out that this that guy that posted that on X is a complete he's gotta be a bot. You can't be a real person. Yeah, nobody's that stupid. I'm I'm serious. I mean, nobody could really like this that just believes bullshit like this and reposts it and just you know, it's like, come on, man, what is wrong with you people? Well, I can tell you one thing that's not wrong with these people, and and these people would have no problem with this challenge, which uh Dr. Bob and myself would never be able to pass. Here we go. Let's start from the beginning. Oh, I know where this is. Why am why is my volume not working for shit? Day two, no weed. Let's start from over.

SPEAKER_02 43:22

A one, no weed. A two, no weed. Day one, no weed, day one, no weed, day one, no weed. Fuck this challenge.

SPEAKER_17 43:33

Day one, no weed. That is not a problem for anybody on Fox. Yeah.

SPEAKER_18 43:40

I can go a couple of days.

SPEAKER_17 43:42

Uh you know. I I I as as a matter of regular practice, go a day before I get some more weed.

SPEAKER_18 43:49

But uh I mean, anytime I have to do any kind of stupid procedure or surgery or anything like that, you know, you gotta stop for a couple of days first, clear your lungs a little.

SPEAKER_17 43:59

Really? Okay.

SPEAKER_18 44:00

Yeah, maybe you do. All right. Well, I got So you definitely have to tell them that you do it, even if you even if you don't have a medical card, because uh if you smoke marijuana and you don't tell your anesthesiologist that you do, you're gonna wake up in the middle of whatever they're doing. Because you require more anesthesia.

SPEAKER_17 44:19

Oh, that's interesting. All right, so I wanted to play, I don't want to play this whole thing, but I wanted to play this one clip, and it really is a mask-off moment. Um it's from the uh I I don't know if you I don't know if you heard about uh Dennis O'Leary.

SPEAKER_18 44:34

He went on uh he went on a couple of shows I fast forwarded to the moment that you highlighted in the I watched it too.

SPEAKER_17 44:41

Well, I mean if you watch the whole thing, it's it's really pretty good.

SPEAKER_18 44:44

But from this moment right here and a half, I did not watch the whole yeah, no.

SPEAKER_17 44:48

Well, it's two hours. It's two hours. But this is the moment where he kind of you kind of get a mask-off moment from Dennis Leary. And and I suspect he speaks for a lot of these wacko billionaires that that do this kind of thing.

SPEAKER_18 45:01

Before you start, though, just a quick uh comment. Have you seen the I don't even know who the cast member's name is, but there's uh one of the SNL guys does Tucker Carlson, an impression.

SPEAKER_17 45:11

Oh, yeah, yeah, I've seen it.

SPEAKER_18 45:12

Really good at it. It's pretty damn funny.

SPEAKER_17 45:14

I it's pretty good. It's pretty good. I mean, all you have to do to do Tucker is be able to do that gay ass laugh of his. Yeah, but that he does it perfectly. Yes, that's true. That that part of him does nail that, but uh, yeah, that's so it. Anyway, so but here listen to what Dennis Leary is O'Leary is saying here. And I think this is Kevin O'Leary. Yeah, whatever whatever the fuck his name is, dumbass. Billionaire piece of shit. Anyway.

SPEAKER_13 45:40

That seems very unfair.

SPEAKER_14 45:43

You know, Tucker, um I'll speak for myself on this. I'm not motivated by money anymore. That that is not why I get up and work 18 hours a day. Um I want to build something incredible. I want my legacy legacy for my children to be something that they're honored by. Right. I want to compete against the Chinese. I don't like the Chinese government, in case anybody has noticed that over the last five years. I don't like how they treat their people. I don't like how they treat me in business. I simply don't like them. What's motivating me now, with all of this barrage, this firestorm, which I understand you've experienced in the past, is I want to beat them in AI. I don't want them controlling the most advanced models wherever that's taking us, because you bring up great points about the unknown and jobs and everything else. But I want to be part of the team that makes sure our way of life in North America remains the same for my children. I don't give a shit about money anymore. I don't need any more money. I've already been very successful, I'm very lucky, but I'm not finished. I'm very motivated to win. And if you if people want to compete with me, I want that. If they don't think my motivation is to beat the Chinese, they're wrong. I am going to beat them. I am going to show them these data centers. They're going to be this shining example of how you do this sustainably, because I'm the only guy that is graduated out of environmental studies and builds data centers. No one else on earth has done that.

SPEAKER_17 47:22

Do you think like all right, you get the point. So this guy is fucking insane. I mean, uh, you know, and this is where I've often wondered what motivates these people that have so much money. Yeah. Well, it's not only influence. It's not only power. They already think they have the power. He thinks he's speaking for all of us. Like we're all in this together with what he wants. Like, this is what I want. Like, well, you should all want that too. Well, why? I I don't have anything against China. And you know what? Here's what here's my theory, uh, Mr. O'Leary. Why don't we let China win the AI race and then we just do the same thing they did to us and just steal it? I mean, what's the big deal? What why is it why are all these uh invisible enemies all over that we have to look out for? These are the paranoid schizo wackos that run the world. It is run by these billionaire wackos, man. They're all insane, they're all certifiably insane. I mean, why would you even, you know, I go back to the you know, the the office space and quote it very often, but it's like, you know, well, what would you do if you had a million dollars? Well, I don't think I'd do much of anything. I'd sit around and do nothing. Well, you don't need a million dollars to do that. My my crackhead buddy does it all the time, you know. But you know, so it's like, at what point do you go, okay, that's enough money? I don't have to, you know, maybe if you got a company that runs on its own and makes money, great. Take it, take, take it off.

SPEAKER_18 48:54

You know, go in this whole AI race, you know, that's perfect lead into the last thing I have to share, which is the AI not being as popular. Uh the kids are starting to wake up. Yep. This is a great clip.

SPEAKER_17 49:08

I actually there was another one of these that came up that could have sent you to.

SPEAKER_10 49:54

Only a few years ago, AI was not a factor in our lives.

SPEAKER_17 50:02

Bullshit.

SPEAKER_18 50:08

At this point, you just stop your speech and say thank you, good night.

SPEAKER_17 50:11

Well, no, no, no, it's bullshit. Hey, I was definitely a part of your lives back then. These fucking stupid kids don't even know it, but you know, yeah, good night.

SPEAKER_18 50:18

Yeah, meaning we didn't have it on our phones yet.

SPEAKER_10 50:27

Okay, we we've got a bipolar topic here, I see. Okay. And now AI capabilities are in the palm of our hands. And I love it. Passion, let's go. Okay.

SPEAKER_15 50:52

Wow.

SPEAKER_17 50:56

These people are just so out of touch. Yeah, the kids are not on board. These boomers. Well, some of them are. Some of them are. Some of them are right at the forefront.

SPEAKER_18 51:04

Yeah, we watched that video on the last episode of that uh Asian kid with the UCLA holding his diploma up and holding his laptop up.

SPEAKER_17 51:12

I and that's another, you know, back to Bill Bill Maher. He's got an un fucking unreasonable fear of AI. He's sure it's like the devil and it's gonna be the end of us all, and then the other and and I'm uh, you know, and that some people think AI is great. I'm somewhere in the mid in between. I think AI could be great, and of course it could be misused and and made to be terrible too. So it's just it's like anything. It's like chemistry could be great, or it can be adorable, you know. It's just all on how you use it. So I don't know. The whole thing is our world is gone tipsy turvy, and if you want to talk about it, give us a call 904-549-9024 at the Slack line. And uh Yeah, no, as a matter of fact, uh uh big show announcement. Uh, since the uh success of my remote show last episode, we're gonna start doing every Friday episode. I'm just gonna stay home. I'm gonna do it from my house so I don't have to beat the traffic driving home. So uh I'm gonna start trying that out. And I suspect if that goes well, I might end up not coming down here much at all. Unless I actually already sent Beck an email, nurse Beck an email saying, listen, I might not be down there on Fri I'm not coming on Fridays anymore. So if you want to go down there, you gotta let me know. I'll come down and meet you or whatever, or or not, even maybe. I don't know. And that's the other thing, you know. If I don't come down here, you don't have to come into the studio either, do you?

SPEAKER_15 52:29

That's true.

SPEAKER_17 52:30

Yes, I know I know how he's voting already.

SPEAKER_15 52:34

Or I can just do my uh part from here.

SPEAKER_17 52:36

And by the way, you should give him a little update on your knee. Oh geez. That picture I saw. I don't know. I just watched it earlier today.

SPEAKER_15 52:43

I was like, God, that does look horrible. It's still it's still swollen. Yeah, it's gonna take a while for that to go. The worst part is sleeping. I can't get comfortable.

SPEAKER_17 52:51

Right, right, right. It's been a full week, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, a week today, I think. Yeah, yeah. And and see the thing is they can't like I I don't think you hurt you really hurt anything or tore anything, but they can't really tell until all the swelling goes down. They can't even test your knee out, really, because when it's that swollen, all the all the parts are all pried apart.

SPEAKER_15 53:09

And the the only thing they could they did x-ray and they said no fractures. Yeah. So, but uh the rest of it.

SPEAKER_18 53:16

They didn't do a CT or anything to look at soft tissue.

SPEAKER_17 53:18

Well, they it doesn't matter now. That's what that's my point. When it's all blown up like that, nothing's where it belongs. It's all out of place. And that used to happen to my knee all the time. I would blow it out and go and go take a look at it, and they're like, Well, we can't look at it, it's all swole up. It doesn't, you know, it's not gonna show us where it's fucked up, you know?

SPEAKER_15 53:33

Yeah, they had to dra drag the X-ray machine into the room I was in because I I really You know, I'm a s I'm surprised they didn't go ahead and just drain your knee.

unknown 53:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15 53:43

No. They gave me an ice pack and someone's Yeah, I guess that's but I mean draining it.

SPEAKER_17 53:48

I I gotta say, I'm a big I'm a big fan of the knee draining because when mine got really bad and I'd go in and they'd drain it, it would be like, oh god, that's so much better. It just feels so much. I mean, the the needle going in is not so great, obviously, but compared to the results, it was well worth it. It was like, oh, thank God. That's so much better. And oh, and by the way, we should say that, you know, obviously, Dr. Bob survived his procedure without too much.

SPEAKER_18 54:10

Yeah, yep. No complications whatsoever. The length of the actual procedure time was only eight and a half minutes. Oh, wow. Oh, that's good. Like what they put you under, takes them about eight or nine minutes to do it, and then they're done.

SPEAKER_17 54:23

Wow, I would think it would take almost that long to just intubate you and unintubate you. I guess they could get it done pretty quickly.

SPEAKER_18 54:29

They're literally just talking about the time that they, you know.

SPEAKER_17 54:33

After they've intubated you, probably, you mean.

SPEAKER_18 54:35

Yeah, I believe so. I was gonna say, Yeah, now the one I have coming up, I think, is not uh is like a 45 minute to an hour one, so that's not great, but that's not even scheduled yet. We'll save that for another episode.

SPEAKER_17 54:46

Yeah, there we go. All right, well, let's get up out of here and uh we'll see everybody next time.

SPEAKER_18 54:52

Like, comment, share, and subscribe. And thanks, guys.
