SPEAKER_02 2:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 2:02

And then how was the trip? We didn't have a show last week because I can't start thinking about this monster.

SPEAKER_02 2:06

Hold on, I gotta go back because I was thinking, you know what? I think holiday gas station is ran by the devil. They have this deal where you can get a breakfast sandwich, you can get a monster and a hash brown or a bag of chips for five bucks.

SPEAKER_04 2:21

That's a great deal.

SPEAKER_02 2:22

That is a bangin' deal. That is a bangin' deal.

SPEAKER_04 2:24

How often do you get that deal? Every day?

SPEAKER_02 2:28

Every day? Once or twice. A day? Yes. You can get the brunch burger, dude. You can get the brunch burger. It's like an egg, cheese, freaking uh hamburger.

SPEAKER_04 2:38

I was joking, you're one of those.

SPEAKER_02 2:40

And then I can like once or twice a day. Yeah, and then you can put jalapenos on there. They got the like the jalapeno thing, the salad bar in the gas station.

SPEAKER_04 2:48

Next time you need a kidney replacement, dude, I don't want to hear you complaining.

SPEAKER_02 2:52

Do you have another one of those? Oh no, no, no, no. I I'll honestly, no kidding, I only drink like less than one a day. Like, I'll jokes aside. I'll jokes aside.

SPEAKER_04 3:02

Uh, how was the trip? You guys were in Costa Rica?

SPEAKER_02 3:05

Trick's uh the trip was good. Um went with some friends, um, some neighbors down the road from me. And we had kids, we had grandmas, we had it was good. It was a family, it wasn't a it wasn't a vacation, it was a family trip. So it was a lot of work.

SPEAKER_04 3:21

Two different things, yes.

SPEAKER_02 3:21

Two different things. Yep, we too had two of the grandmas were handicapped-ish, you know. I I use that word a little bit loosely. Uh handicapped enough where they needed assistance. Yeah, they needed wheelchairs for you know getting through the airport and stuff like that. And then you get to Costa Rica, and nothing is level. You know, nothing is level. Then we had snakes and tarantulas. It's a big jungle, isn't it? Yeah, dude. Yeah, we literally had like snakes like slithering across us in the yard and and and giant tarantulas in the yard. Um, we saw a uh like just walking through the uh, I guess the jungle, we saw on a leaf there was a pit viper, like a little one with the eyelash pit viper, I think this is what it's called. Like the fifth deadliest uh um snake in Costa Rica.

SPEAKER_04 4:05

Jeez.

SPEAKER_02 4:05

Basically, you're dead if you get bit because you're out in the middle of nowhere, so you're not gonna get any venom in time. Cut your arm off. I mean, that's the solution. I've thought about that. I'm like, we talked about it too. We did, we talked about it. But have you if you ever had like a CAT scan or something with like uh fluid? Or what is it called? Well, they give me like the IV and then they put the with dye. Okay. With dye.

SPEAKER_04 4:27

I had a shot for the IV, yeah. Or not not a IV, but yeah, the shot.

SPEAKER_02 4:30

Right, and that but you can feel the heat going through your body, but like they they literally put that thing in you, and all of a sudden you can feel that heat within seconds throughout your whole body. I think it's weird how fast blood flows through your body. I mean, it goes a lot faster than you would think. So I'm like, I don't even know if you could cut off your body part fast enough. Maybe not.

SPEAKER_04 4:48

Probably not. No, you're you're dead, dude. You're dead. I had a friend in the the Air Force, he was getting his appendix out or something, and there was some trainee that was putting an IV in him. Yeah. He took the IV bag out of the fridge. So on you, you know, it goes through your body so fast. Yeah. All of a sudden he's like shivering, you know, and he's like, what the hell? And then they realize, like, did you take that bag out of the fridge? Why did you have an IB IV bag in the fridge? But yeah, that's why he almost died.

SPEAKER_02 5:15

Interesting. Yeah. Yeah, no, but it was fun. It was fun. I mean, you know, it's again, it's it felt like a work detail because we're watching you got big waves, you're watching the kids from getting sucked out into the ocean, you're trying to navigate the grammas to the beach.

SPEAKER_04 5:28

Was this was this uh Gulf Side or or uh Pacific? Okay, so the waves are pretty pretty decent sized there.

SPEAKER_02 5:33

They were decent, yeah. They were decent, and the kids were learning how to surf, and I was up there filming them doing that too, and that was that was a lot of fun. I had a good time. I had a good time.

SPEAKER_04 5:41

Well, here's this is relevant to listeners. How was the airport? Did you guys have to stand in line at the TSA? Super easy. So, what do you think is going on there? Because I feel and this is part of the rapid fire headlines. The TSA stuff is I keep seeing viral videos that are like, I stood in line for six hours, I showed up four hours early and still missed my flight. Like, is that is that just in a few different places? It seems like they're blowing this up into a big story, but the more people I hear talk, they're like, Yeah, I was at the airport, it was fine. Literally showed up four hours early. I got in secure, I got through security in 20 minutes.

SPEAKER_02 6:11

It's malarky. I think I I mean I mean, I'm sure there's places that it's a problem. Yeah, you know, and maybe you have like a group of people. Yeah, maybe you have a group of TSA people or whoever that's kind of just sick of it all. I mean, I would be sick of it. Imagine not getting paid for a couple weeks.

SPEAKER_04 6:23

Yeah, you're gonna get back sitting there.

SPEAKER_02 6:25

Yeah, but still, I mean, would you not have anxiety? I'd have anxiety if you're making what do they make a year? I don't know, 80,000 we'll say 70, 80. If that's a case of decent, right. But say you live in New York. I mean, what's the cost of living there? They're probably half of those people are living paycheck to paycheck. Yeah, I guarantee you half of those people are living paycheck to paycheck. So now they're sitting there not paying their credit cards or not paying their house mortgage or car payment or whatever. Does that affect their credit? Does that affect, you know, that's just effing with their lives? Yeah, you know, trying to do that.

SPEAKER_04 6:53

No, no, I agree I it is a problem. Congress needs to do their their job.

SPEAKER_02 6:56

Right. But I can see where the culture I can see with the culture where people start bitching inside that, like there's a little chamber, and everyone starts bitching, and they're like, screw it, let's just start dragging our feet, pissing people off, and then we'll get our freaking, you know, enough people squawk to their Congress member and it's a government job.

SPEAKER_04 7:12

It's a government job. Like they're shovel leaners, man.

SPEAKER_02 7:14

Well, you know what?

SPEAKER_04 7:15

And and not to mention, no offense to anyone who is a TSA agent, but your job is worthless, it's meaningless. Like, according to the stats, no terroristic attack has ever been stopped by TSA. It's uh it's not stopped at the it's not they've then they've here's the other crazy thing, they've gotten things through these metal detectors and stuff. So their their job, it's just there because of the Patriot Act. It's it makes everyone's life a hassle.

SPEAKER_02 7:41

It's not so easy to sneak stuff through. Yeah, it's so easy. And I'm not gonna talk about this.

SPEAKER_04 7:47

Whoa!

SPEAKER_02 7:48

Whoa!

SPEAKER_03 7:48

What is that laugh for, dude? Why'd you sneak through TSA? Well, I was on accident. So we what do you mean? We showed up late to the airport. When was this? Um, this was out of San Francisco, and uh, I had what this like little flexi fanny pack so I couldn't get robbed. And uh, so I had this fanny pack on and we woke up late and we had to get to the airport like ASAP. So I was like shoving everything into your bag, get the heck out of here as fast as we can. And we get through TSA and I'm like, dude, why is my belly just itching? And then I'm like, oh my gosh, dude, I got this fanny pack. I had some shooters and stuff in there, so nothing major, but like you had some liquor in there.

SPEAKER_04 8:29

Yeah, so you walk through the security gate and they didn't say anything, nothing, and then oh wow, dude.

SPEAKER_03 8:34

Oh meanwhile, this freak it was kind of the hype of uh I think it was 2018, and there was one guy that just helped out a bunch because he I don't even know how they do the 2018, yeah. Okay, and uh one guy got pulled off the side and made this huge, huge scene, but it's like, dude, you smell like weed, like yeah, you know, and then he creates this massive, massive scene. So at that point, they probably are just like, dude, that's just get along. Yeah, where were you in San Francisco? Uh we were downtown.

SPEAKER_02 9:02

Oh my god, dude. I just get like I have this is a skit. I feel like this is uh this is a skit. I can like see like some robber like running up to Dave and like grabbing his panty pack, like downtown San Francisco when he's like pulling, like his face is right there, like my butt's corrupt. I don't even mean a robber, but like some gay dude trying to pull your pants off. I don't know. Sorry, dude.

SPEAKER_04 9:30

My my my we just we just made an SNL sketch that probably wouldn't be aired. That's ridiculous. Oh well, there you go. There's a uh a D personal anecdotal story about uh getting stuff through TSA.

SPEAKER_03 9:46

Well, dude, and then they pull mothers off to the side with a pack of baby wipes. Like there she is of a stroller. It's so stupid, man. Dude, you know what?

SPEAKER_02 9:54

That I had a I had a TSA problem in San Francisco too. Really? Yeah, this was before, no, this was just like probably 2003. I had this sounds so freaking, I don't know, I'm not gonna say the word, but it sounds stupid, right? But I used to be into I used to make um necklaces and stuff out of beads. You guys you guys promise not to laugh at me. Don't laugh, don't laugh, don't laugh.

SPEAKER_01 10:18

So I used to Okay, all right, stop it.

SPEAKER_02 10:21

Okay, so anyways, I used to make uh well I was I started getting into like like doing like those Indian beads and stuff like that, you know what I mean? Like the Native American ones. So I went to uh I went to there was like a big bead show in San Francisco and I brought all my beading uh tools with me. They took everything, like they were like just crimps and like little, you know, hand tools. Yeah, they took everything. It was probably, I don't know, at that time it was a lot of money to me, but it was like 150 bucks.

SPEAKER_04 10:46

Check the luggage or carry on.

SPEAKER_02 10:48

I carried it on because that's all I had at that time, but they took all it wasn't like it was something you're gonna stab somebody with. It was like a crimper, you know. But all the tools and my you know, all that miscellaneous stuff they took from me, and it was that was it. I stopped doing it. I quit. I gave up. Because of TSA.

SPEAKER_04 11:03

Look at that. You you just you ruined a what could have been a flourishing hobby.

SPEAKER_02 11:06

I I ruined like the the native uh tradition ended with me at TSA.

SPEAKER_03 11:12

Dude could have been a fabulous Etsy page.

SPEAKER_02 11:15

I could have been a successful Etsy artist.

SPEAKER_04 11:19

Alright, well, there we go. TSA. Hopefully you guys get paid soon, and hopefully, um, yeah. Yeah, hopefully you guys just go away forever in general. Because it's a nightmare.

SPEAKER_02 11:29

Costa Rica, very safe. I would just like to say that. It was safe. I felt safe the whole time there. It was it's a good, it's not a bad place to travel to. Nice. We'll leave it at that.

SPEAKER_04 11:38

I've never been there. Um so we got so what are the other morning announcements? Okay, so baby's coming. We will for sure not have a show next week, probably not the week after. We'll let you guys know for sure. If there is, it'll be a surprise. It'll pop up. So make sure you have the notifications turned on. Um what?

SPEAKER_02 11:55

I'm just laughing because every time I call you on the phone, uh this is uh this is my my back brain right now thinking. That sounds like a hell in the background of the kids. Yes. I'm like, you're having another one. I'm like, oh my gosh. I don't sit there like talking.

SPEAKER_04 12:11

Hey, hey, whoa, whoa, don't do that. Hey, don't you hit your sister? Hey, come on, dude, I gotta go. Yeah, I'm like, dude, I gotta go.

SPEAKER_02 12:17

Yeah, I'm like, I gotta go. I can't handle this. I can't handle this conversation. It's giving me anxiety. A third one coming, man. I gotta take an ammo.

SPEAKER_04 12:24

It hasn't hit yet either. All right, well, uh, let's get to some rapid fire headlines here before we get into our first period class. Folks, grab your your pens and pencils, your sharpeners, uh, no digital stuff here, no iPads, no computers, all handwritten notes, none of this chat GPT crap in this university. So, get ready. But, anyways, before we get into first period statistics and fun fact class, some rapid fire headlines. Um number one, Google search term can't sell house. Hits new all-time her all-time high. And I've seen I've had personal friends that have tried selling their house for like the last year that they still haven't sold their house. I mean, it's the it's per market really, but the housing market is not good. I think we all know that.

SPEAKER_03 13:10

It's like a weird uh it depends on where you are selling it. Like uh where we live, anything under like 300,000 has an average listing of like eight to twelve days, and over a million has like about the same yep, but everything in between there, like you're selling a half million, six hundred thousand dollar house, it's gonna be out there for ages. Yep.

SPEAKER_04 13:28

Three to six hundred is you're spot on. It's there for over a year in most cases, at least we're in our area. Yeah, but yeah, if it's over a million bucks, it's gone. Dude, it's it's gone in like yeah, a week cash off or two. What is that? What is that? Uh I think it's the people say the K-shape recovery. That's been a term, right? Okay. I think that's real. I think I think we're seeing that. I think if you pre-2020 had assets, had a good job, had uh you know, invested in money, those investments are going like this. Right. Because of this inflation, because of you know, government spending. If you didn't have any of that, no, sorry.

SPEAKER_02 14:04

I would put myself and my wife or uh us in a great position to move. I mean, if we were gonna buy a house, we're in a great position to move right now. Like I could I could get out of here and yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 14:13

But if you if you did, you know, like you've said, $300,000 house, yeah, you're probably not moving for a while.

SPEAKER_02 14:20

Although I still do have a mortgage, and my problem right now is that the mortgage is so cheap that it just is it's really, really hard for me to And that's the problem is mortgages just went over seven percent.

SPEAKER_04 14:31

And we'll get to I think another reason why here in a second. But uh some more headlines, Chuck Norris passed away at 86, R.I.P. I said this on his education. Um like the OG meme. He was a meme before there was a meme, and that sounds like a Chuck Norris joke. Like Chuck Norris was a meme before there were memes because he was. Yeah, everyone had Chuck Norris jokes before the internet, and then that just blew up, and he's still, you know, yeah, he'll live on forever through his memes.

SPEAKER_02 14:59

Dude, what have you oh I I I kind of heard a little bit about it, but did anyone hear how he died? Because it sounded like he was doing well before that. And then all of a sudden he was dead.

SPEAKER_04 15:08

Did you?

SPEAKER_02 15:09

86, right? Yeah, it was 86. Yeah, but I mean it sounded like his health was good coming up to it. You know, I don't know if it was just like a sudden like fell asleep and died type of thing, but yeah, I don't know. Dude, that dude was in shape too.

SPEAKER_04 15:20

He was he was a total gym, man.

SPEAKER_02 15:23

Yeah, he had like black belts and taekwondo and karate and you ever see him do do like martial arts? No, uh-uh.

SPEAKER_04 15:29

It was incredible.

SPEAKER_02 15:30

Really?

SPEAKER_04 15:30

I was like, wow, this guy isn't just a meme, he actually is a badass. He really I saw a video of him like doing some high kicks and he was training people. I was like, oh geez, like that guy is you wouldn't want to mess with him. Like that, who's the other guy? Jean-Claude Van Dam? No, no, no, that guy's that guy's a badass too. But the other guy, dude, did you see the Volkswagen commercial?

SPEAKER_03 15:48

Uh he was dude, he was getting his teeth done at a dentist, and somebody broke in and tried to rob the dentist, and then he kicked their ass. Jean-Claude Van Dam? Jean-Claude Van Damme. That was real, dude. Yeah, it was real.

SPEAKER_02 15:58

No way. Yep. We'll have to pull it up. I heard John Claude Van Dam and uh who's that other guy with the long ponytail?

SPEAKER_04 16:04

Oh, Steven Segal.

SPEAKER_02 16:04

Yeah, they had like a riff. Those two guys had a riff.

SPEAKER_04 16:07

That's who I was thinking of. Steven Segal. Have you ever seen like Tom Segura has some real funny jokes about him?

SPEAKER_03 16:12

But because he's really popular in is it China?

SPEAKER_04 16:15

Russia. Russia. Russia. He's like a Russian, he lives over there, I think. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 16:18

But have you seen his training videos?

SPEAKER_04 16:20

No. They're like I'm still. Like I said, Tom Segura has a really good joke, but yeah, he's like, yeah, you do this and you do that and you do this. And it's like, dude, what? You look like one of the most fake martial artists right now. Right. Like this guy doesn't know crap. But he he like really acts like he does.

SPEAKER_02 16:34

So he's got us fooled.

SPEAKER_04 16:37

No, he gets a dude. Steven Seagal gets a lot of heat.

SPEAKER_02 16:40

I actually got a story about Steven Seagal from a friend that actually dealt with him. So my friend, my friend's a shooter. Travels the travels, he travels around a lot, and I'm not gonna say his name, because he's also a YouTuber. Okay. Uh, but he does shooting on YouTube. And uh, anyways, he went over a prince over in Dubai had had him come over there to do shooting.

SPEAKER_04 17:00

Okay, uh, you briefly mentioned him.

SPEAKER_02 17:02

Well, Steven Seagull was at a restaurant that was just a private club restaurant, and this prince brought my friend over to him and said, Hey, you want to meet Steven Seagull? And he's like, Okay. So he met Steven, and Steven's like, what do you uh you're a shooter, huh? What do you shoot? And so my friend said, you know, what he prefers to shoot, and and Steven Seagull's like, I shoot a Gi-Tech. If you shoot nothing but a Gi-Tek, you're garbage. That's what he said to my friend. My friend's like, what? My buddy's like one of the best shooters in the world. And it's like Steven Skull's just trash and him. Well, that's what he that's what Steven Segull is, though.

SPEAKER_04 17:37

He is the uh the know-it-all guy. He's he's the expert in everything. Yeah, and that's what his character or persona is.

SPEAKER_02 17:44

And my buddy's like completely like the most humble guy in the world. You know, he's just kind of like, okay.

SPEAKER_04 17:49

Okay, Steven Segal, nice to meet you. The rumors are true, dude. Um, so moving on here, Chuck Norris, and then we got okay. So before we get to Iran, and why I think, you know, well, obviously, it's not even why I think it's just why housing is bad, why rates are bad, everything. Um, before we get to that, I thought this was interesting. Effective April 20th, 2026. The US Army is increasing the maximum enlistment age from 34 to 42 and eliminating waiver requirements for a single conviction of possession of marijuana. Perfect for 420. Seriously. April twenty. Yeah. Here we go. Um, but there we go. That's that to me says, oh wow, they're having a lot of a hard time recruiting people. Can you imagine joining the military in like your late 30s and you're 42?

SPEAKER_02 18:36

42 is the cutoff? 42 is the cutoff. That's crazy, dude.

SPEAKER_04 18:40

Like the the the draft age is even higher. Like you, yeah, you could get drafted. Um, let's see, U.S. draft age range. I because I had it in education actually.

unknown 18:50

What?

SPEAKER_04 18:51

Well, it says here currently only men aged 18 through 25 who are U.S. citizens or residents uh would be considered for a draft. Although they can volunteer to fight in war. This is I saw something different though. Okay, all men of ages 18 to 64 will now be eligible for the draft. This is this is this is unreal. Maybe this is from uh World War II. Anyways, back during World War II, that was the age limit. So, like, we're all eligible for the draft, apparently still.

SPEAKER_03 19:20

Dude, I heard you can go by Ozzy's tomb and you can hear war pigs coming from the tomb. Dude, would you would you I mean if I would I would take the draft?

SPEAKER_02 19:29

Like if someone, if someone, if they called me up and like, hey, you gotta go back, I'd be like, all right, whatever. It's part of my life. I'd be like, whatever, I'll go back. I wouldn't for this war.

SPEAKER_03 19:38

We know we have no idea why we're there.

SPEAKER_04 19:40

It depends, man. I I really yeah, I if it were like right after 9-11, I'd be like, absolutely. But right now, I do think I think we've been so disillusioned, and this is on we can get into the Iran. The Iran war is continuing, and it's the mixed messaging is insane, but we can talk about that in a second. I would have a hard time going back right now. I would because I don't feel like we're fighting a war to protect America. I feel like we're fighting a war for the special interests of Israel and for billionaires, people that have a vested interest in the the war machine, right? Yeah. I mean, how how are American citizens benefiting from this? Right.

SPEAKER_02 20:16

That well, that's always almost the situation.

SPEAKER_04 20:19

Yeah. So uh that's why I would have a really interesting.

SPEAKER_02 20:21

And I want to clarify, I'm not saying I would go back to fight this war. I'm saying I would go back to protect our country.

SPEAKER_04 20:27

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 20:28

I would go back if someone was like coming in our borders and or coming in, you know, like you know, on the it's like, okay, if they were like actually like infiltrating New York or California or wherever, I mean I would let them take that over. But if they went any farther, that would that's it. That's where I would hold the line. That's where I'd hold the line. Sorry, New Yorkers in California. I'm joking.

SPEAKER_04 20:47

Yeah, no, I would, I would, I would um, yeah, I feel like it would kind of depend on what'd be doing too, though. I'd want to do something more important than I did before. I I did something important, I think.

SPEAKER_02 20:58

What would you do? Maybe you could be like a PJ.

SPEAKER_04 20:59

Well, I think I'm too old though. You're not too old. 62, man. You can be PJ at 62. They'll throw you out of the freaking plane. That though those physical requirements are insane, dude. Those guys are like professional athletes. Yeah, you're a professional athlete.

SPEAKER_02 21:12

Come on. I'm in pretty good shape. You're in pretty good shape. I I think you're good enough shape to do it.

SPEAKER_04 21:16

Yeah, we'll see. But anyways, on the Iran stuff. The Iran stuff, the the part that is crazy to me, because we what was the last show? Two weeks ago now? Yeah. That was almost like right when it kicked off. And this was supposed to be a couple week thing. We talked about this. The messaging on this is such a roller coaster. Because you have you have uh, I just said this before we came in. Trump's talking about some peace deal. Oh, we're gonna end it. Then you have uh Netanyahu got on and said something like, Oh no, it's gonna be over when we say it's over, pretty much, is the summary of what he said. I was like, holy crap, dude, this like that makes Trump look really bad. Um, and then you have uh Iran coming out before we came in, said, like, F off. No, we're there's no peace deal. No one's done with this. Like, you guys started this. So and then now we're gonna so the the stock market's going like this, it's oil prices like this. So the uncertainty, the the it's maddening. I don't know what to believe. I I literally don't believe anything. I don't believe anything Iran says. I don't believe anything Trump says, like, especially what Trump says. He has said the same thing over and over this whole time. Yeah, we gotta we gotta deal in place, pretty much. Like we're just waiting for it to be signed. And then then the other side says, dude, what are you talking about? We haven't even talked yet. Right. So it's like, what is going on? What is going on? And then you have reports now. I saw the 82nd Airborne is going over there with like 3,000 army soldiers.

SPEAKER_02 22:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 22:37

So it's like, oh wait, are we going in with troops now on the ground? What the hell is going on?

SPEAKER_02 22:42

I listen, I I think last time we had podcasts, I called this. I said it there's no way we get out of this without troops on the ground.

SPEAKER_04 22:48

Oh no, no, absolutely not. This is a this is a long thing coming out.

SPEAKER_02 22:51

Yeah, this is there's no way we get out of this without troops on the ground. I I don't see it. I mean, if it really works, if we execute it correctly, if they were if they're gonna go back to normal, like what they were, we can leave right now. You know, we could just leave and and call it a day. And that's probably what's gonna happen, to be honest with you. I think that they're gonna they're probably gonna try to back out of this. I think I think Trump will try to back out of this um because elections will come up, and I think there's gonna be a lot of pressure.

SPEAKER_04 23:15

Oh, oh, there it is. He's already he is he is trying to back out.

SPEAKER_02 23:18

Right. But yes, he is trying to back out, but I think that I think that there's I don't know. I think the right thing for him to do, I hate to say this, I truly, truly hate to say this, but like he made a mess over there. Okay. What do you do now? Like if I had to step in right now, I probably would put boots on the ground if it was me, and I know people would disagree with this, but the only reason I would is try to get that leadership figured out, like some stabilized leadership inside that place figured out. Is it gonna happen? I don't know, but there's a giant mess over there right now for us to just go over there and bomb the shit out of the place and then be like, uh see you later. You know, I mean, like, what was the point of that?

SPEAKER_04 23:53

What was the point of this? I mean, I I don't agree with what you said, yeah. No, but I I think that that's what's gonna happen.

SPEAKER_02 24:01

Boots on the ground?

SPEAKER_04 24:01

Yeah, yeah, of course. That is what's gonna happen for sure.

SPEAKER_02 24:04

I think they I think there's there's money and stability in the Middle East, and I think the Middle East wants stability. I think a lot of the countries want stability.

SPEAKER_04 24:12

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, yes, of course they want stability, yes.

SPEAKER_02 24:15

But I think there's also there's there's a mix of things like um a religious war that's happening over there that I don't know if it can happen.

SPEAKER_04 24:24

Well, I've seen a lot of people say that uh that's what this whole thing is.

SPEAKER_02 24:28

A religious war? Yeah. Well, I think absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, after money is is pure devil versus you know good versus evil.

SPEAKER_04 24:37

We'll see. Yeah, I mean, we could talk probably a whole podcast about all this. Um, but I I think my most the craziest thing to me is the roller coaster of information.

SPEAKER_02 24:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 24:50

I don't know what to believe. I don't know. I can see, oh, there are multiple warships over there. There's now there's allegedly thousands of troops. That doesn't seem like this is de-escalating. Right. You know, right actions are not saying that. So and I don't see if I'm if I was Iran, if I was Iran, I'd be like, dude, I'm gonna fight you to death. I like I'm I am taking you to the grave. I will fire every shot I have at you guys because screw you coming into my home and blasting us, you know, killing civilians. Like I would that's what I would do. If this was if they came into Minnesota, they would, I would, I would have to fight.

SPEAKER_02 25:28

Look at every country we've gone into.

SPEAKER_04 25:30

You wouldn't just say, Oh, geez, yes. Right. Thanks for backing out now. You know, yeah. I'm glad you guys left. Yeah. It's okay, you know, we're we'll forgive you for bombing us. They already did kind of. I mean, when we bombed the uh nuclear facility. Well, I've seen other people say that this is this is that was the start. This has been going on since then, is what people say.

SPEAKER_03 25:49

But well, it's been going on forever.

SPEAKER_04 25:51

Forever, yes. It's never gonna stop. And that's what the the comments will say is like, no, this has been going on for decades. Well, not like this. Not like this. So uh, but yeah, that's that's probably the biggest headline. I mean, and there's nothing else really bigger than that, and it's gonna get bigger and bigger, I think. Um, but that's not what we're gonna spend most of today's show on. We have to cover it, obviously, because it's what's going on. Oh, but back to what I was saying though, as far as um before we move on, the housing prices and stuff. As this continues on, the economy is gonna get worse and worse and worse and worse and worse. Inflation's gonna go up, rates are gonna keep going up, the housing market is gonna still stalemate because that's what the housing market is completely locked right now. And you know, there might be some markets here and there, but how mortgage rates over seven percent, like you said, why would most people move when they have a rate at three percent or less, five percent or less?

SPEAKER_02 26:41

Right. I i I feel bad too because seven percent is not that bad alone, historically. Historically it's not that bad, but we we still can taste that two, three percent area that we're gonna do. A lot of people have their toes dipped into that. So it's hard to get out of that.

SPEAKER_04 26:58

Yeah, no, it's it's the longer it goes on, the worse it gets. And then uh on that too, uh uh oil is already sky high. The longer this goes on, oil keeps going up. So yeah, hopefully they figure it out, but it's not looking good, unfortunately. But let's move on here. Let's move on to some more fun stuff. We actually have a lot of fun stuff to talk about today. Uh quite a few conspiracy stories. I can't wait to get deep in on this. And then uh yeah, a couple a couple great stories today to cover. So, first period stats and fun fact class. Stat number one in 2008, 62% of teachers said they were very satisfied with their job. In 2022, that dropped to 12%. So that's the most recent uh, and I imagine it's lower than 12% now. But I have seen so many videos of teachers who have quit being a teacher because they just kids are not the same anymore. Um, they just hate teaching, they can't go into class and and just deal with what they're dealing with. Um I think you know, I'm not surprised.

SPEAKER_03 28:04

You have teachers, uh, you talk to a teacher, it's not like back in the day where a teacher got to create the curriculum and create the structure of at the end of the year, you want your kid to do 10 plus 10. Well, how do you get there? You kind of make your own way of how to get there, your own style, your own way to communicate it. Now you get a freaking book. It's been like this for a while, but you just get the teacher's guide for the textbook, and you're a robot teaching it section by section. Yeah, and I think that's a problem because a lot of the people that go into teaching want to be able to express themselves.

SPEAKER_04 28:35

Yeah, make an actual impact on a kid.

SPEAKER_02 28:38

Yeah. It's a struggle though, right? Because I mean, I think in the in the in the day that we live in right now, everything everybody tries to standardize everything to try to make things efficient or say, hey, listen, we've learned that this works for this group, right? Or for p for kids. But the problem is, is we have kids that are inner city, we have kids that live out in the country, like where we live. We have different, we have different diversity, and these kids learn differently. You know, they're raised differently, they have different social exposures, and it just doesn't work. And I would agree with you, like there needs to be some fluidity to how the teacher teaches, right? The teacher needs to be able to say, listen, I have a group of I mean, even like different kids. If you have a group of dumb kids, next year you might have a group of super smart kids. You teach the same stu you know the same stuff. If you have a bunch of smart kids, I would hope not, but yeah. Yeah, I could never be a teacher. Yeah, I couldn't either. Or a cop.

SPEAKER_04 29:33

Or a cop. If I was a teacher, I'd be uh I'd definitely be out of private school. Because like you said, oh you you're in Minnesota, you gotta hit the gender normative, gender spectrum on lesson of the class. I mean, there's crap like that in our curriculum now, especially in Minnesota.

SPEAKER_02 29:46

Did they say would that report say why the teachers no nothing at all?

SPEAKER_04 29:50

Just that that's the survey that's um yeah.

SPEAKER_02 29:53

Well, unfortunately, you keep hearing too pay, the pay thing keeps coming up. They're like, well, we're not getting that. Well, it's like this.

SPEAKER_04 29:58

I'm sorry. Um I and uh I had a teacher message me one time on Z uh after his education video because I said it always baffles me when I hear teachers say that. Not that their job isn't important, their job is important. I had teachers that were very impressionable on me. I remember them and stuff they taught me. But they literally have part of the year off. They have summers off. They have summers off. You don't get a full year salary for a summers off job, holidays off, weekends off. Like, come on, let's be a little more reasonable here. Teachers get really pissed off when you say that. They get really it's not like that, Tyler. It's not like no, it is like that. I know a lot of teachers, and they literally do not work from June to August. They don't. They don't work those months, and if they do, it's a side job because they want more money.

SPEAKER_02 30:46

I got a nearer that just paints all summer. As a teacher. Yeah, yeah. Oh, and she just paints like outside. She's a teacher, but she just paints by herself. Like she just goes outside and paints like through the summer. Oh, like for hobby and reads books. Got it, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 30:59

Yeah, and that's great. You want to do that? It's fine. But don't complain about a full salary. That's my drives me nuts. And I will say too, I know people that work within the financial world of the school districts, the public school districts, and they have told me like a lot of these teachers that have tenure, especially like down in the cities, they are making insane money.

SPEAKER_02 31:18

Really?

SPEAKER_04 31:18

Insane money, and it's a big part of the budget. That's what like the the job is is to manage the money in the school district, right?

SPEAKER_02 31:25

I don't even know what they what do they make, like 50,000?

SPEAKER_04 31:28

Oh, dude, way more than we're talking like well into the hundred thousand money. If you're a tenured teacher at in certain school districts, what a hundred thousand. I'm dead ass. This is coming from someone who works directly with that. I'm dead serious. I'm dead serious, and you can't fire them, they're tenured.

SPEAKER_02 31:45

And this is a hundred thousand, like that's that's wait, that's with the summer off 100,000 or 100,000 and they're just like making the number that's a X would take homes a hundred thousand?

SPEAKER_04 31:54

I'd have to ask. I see this person very soon. But uh, yeah, that person has complained about those people many times. So it's like there is a lot of money in in some teacher positions, right? Right. Um, I'm sure there's teachers listening to this right now that are like, that's not true. Well, I'm telling you, it's true. I I'm not just making this up.

SPEAKER_02 32:12

Um it's supposed to that you're into. I mean, across the country. Yeah, yep, yep.

SPEAKER_04 32:18

Uh, but anyways, let's move on here. Um, yeah, I'm sure there's gonna be pissed off people at that, but it's okay. I mean, it's just I don't care. I don't care. I like I I so I just we just had a conversation about tax money, and our our property taxes doubled on our house this year. Yeah, so I'm I'm like out for vengeance right now on taxes. I I freaking cannot stand taxes.

SPEAKER_02 32:40

I get it. How can you have and how can you have a podcast and sit here and talk without saying what really what you think?

SPEAKER_04 32:45

And yeah, that's what I think, right? Right?

SPEAKER_02 32:47

I mean, like, unless you're proven wrong, and we're pretty liquid people. I think we are very liquid people. Open to new information, yeah. Absolutely. Always open to new information. Like I'll sit here and we'll debate. And I I rather have people that I don't want to be in an echo chamber. I want to sit here. We you just heard us talk, we were disagreeing with each other a second ago. It's like now I'm listening, I'm like, wait, what did you just say? I I actually kind of want to readdress like what you were talking about as far as the Middle East, what was going on there? Because you're like, Oh, I disagree with you. So now I'm like, okay, now I want to run my position against your position, you know. Not right now, but yeah, yeah, but it's important.

SPEAKER_04 33:21

Um fact number two. I thought this was well, these are more uh more headlines, I guess. But the Oscars. Did you guys watch the Oscars? Never, no, never, never. Um the Oscars rate Oscars ratings declined over this uh so 1996, 45 million people tuned in. 2006, 36 million, so about nine million fewer. 2016, 34 million, so about the same. 2026, 17 million people viewed. Good. So it's just they don't mean anything. There are actual requirements if you want to win best picture for a movie. Uh let's say there's there's a bunch of movies that have literally uh what's that uh Redford, Robert Redford movie? It's it's him, it's just him. Oh yes. Um boat. Yeah, yeah. And it's a it's a decent movie, right? That movie, and and I would say in the art world, it's probably one of the it'd be a best picture type movie because it's it's kind of symbolic and artsy fartsy, right? But it's it's good. Also incredible that they made it entertaining with one guy on the screen the whole time. That would not qualify for best picture in the new Oscars because it doesn't it doesn't hit the DEI requirements. You literally there are literal requirements for your movie to be up for nomination for this. Like you have to have a black person, you gotta have a Chinese person. It's like, whoa, hold on a sec. That doesn't make any sense. Like, what do you mean?

SPEAKER_02 34:45

What was that movie that uh uh uh Leonardo DiCaprio was just in with that uh that one best picture because it did. Did he get an idea?

SPEAKER_04 34:53

I did not see it. Uh I don't think so.

SPEAKER_02 34:54

He didn't. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 34:58

The best picture or the best actor, I believe, and I don't know what that was, but wasn't it like a super Antifa movie or something? Someone was describing it to me like that.

SPEAKER_02 35:05

I started watching it and I had to shut it off.

SPEAKER_04 35:06

I was like, It's a left-wing, left-wing propaganda movie. But that one and then um Sinners guy won the best actor. I've not seen that, but I also heard and I've seen it. Is it good? It's I mean, I'd rather watch it than that one, but I heard people say that it was literally just a remake of Dawn of the Dead, but was just race swapped.

SPEAKER_03 35:27

Um, well, I I I don't know. I don't know. That's just what it was. That's what I've heard. Maybe we're thinking of a different movie. So it's a vampire movie, isn't it? Sinners? No. I don't know. It's uh it's about uh at least from what I watched. So it takes back place in the I don't know, back in the day when there was like segregation and stuff, and they were opening up a like a uh area to go jam in, like a blues hall. Yeah. And that's kind of what it was. It wasn't bad.

SPEAKER_04 35:56

But there were people coming to attack them.

SPEAKER_02 35:58

Attack the people that it was like it was like foot loose, but they wanted the black people.

SPEAKER_03 36:02

I don't know. I don't know. Kind of quit watching. If it's not a sitcom anymore, I ain't watching it. Oh, you didn't you didn't finish it?

SPEAKER_04 36:08

No. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 36:09

Well, maybe there was they wanted to use the swimming pool. The whites wouldn't let them.

SPEAKER_01 36:17

Dude, you're good.

SPEAKER_04 36:21

Oh god. Oh, okay. Well, this is a good segue out of this one. But anyway, it's good that the Oscars are is dying because uh Merit is not real anymore, especially in that world. Yeah. I don't even know if Merit uh remember Bo Burn Burnham? Yeah, he had a funny well, it wasn't really funny, it was true. Um I think he was on a late night show or somebody's like meritocracy is not real. Meritocracy in entertainment has never existed. And it's true. Like you have a doctor. The best will the best succeed. Oh, the best person gets the award, the best movie gets the accolades, the best actor gets the jobs, blah, blah, blah. That is far from what we have today. We don't have a meritocracy, especially in entertainment. I mean even like music. Even baseball hall of fame. Well I only say that because of Pete Rose. Pete Rose. Pete Rose should, yeah. He should be, but all right, Pete. Uh, number three. American cigarette smoking hits single digits for first time ever. Study fines. But I feel like I don't have the data on this, but uh smokeless tobacco has to be super high. That is blasted everywhere.

SPEAKER_02 37:27

What are those things? Those zings? Zins? Zins? Is that what it is? Zins? Uh yeah. I keep fine.

SPEAKER_03 37:32

Zimbabwe. Gotta lead a Zin, Tucker Carl Zinn? That guy on TikTok is hilarious. The uh he's got hired by Barstool. The uh I don't know. Do you want a Zintopia? You wanna like he's got these sayings for it, and he dude, he can rattle them off for 10 minutes straight and he just makes you laugh.

SPEAKER_02 37:50

Yeah, I see a lot of people using those though.

SPEAKER_04 37:52

Very popular.

SPEAKER_02 37:53

Uh I see that. I've been seeing like I keep seeing people smoking regular cigarettes. I don't know if I if it's just me like hitting that, you know, like flowing through, and I just keep running to cigarette smokers, but I'm like, what's going on here?

SPEAKER_03 38:05

Life is good. Got a pack of darts, got Lucy and Trinity back. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 38:09

Whatever, man. Got Lucy and Trim back. All right, here's a couple more. We didn't talk about this when we talked about the Epstein stuff, but I thought this was hilarious. Fun fact: Jeffrey Epstein won an $85 million Powerball Jackpot on July 2nd, 2008. I saw that. Dude, that is so. I'm gonna back up. What did you just say? Jeffrey Epstein won the Powerball in 2008. Is that true? That's gotta be fake. It's dead true. How much did he win? $82 million or $85 million.

SPEAKER_02 38:38

Dude, that is so freaking staged. That is so staged. Let's see. The Powerball.

SPEAKER_04 38:43

Hold on, hold on, hold on. We might be live debunking here.

SPEAKER_03 38:47

Viral claim. I think it was a company that he was associated with. I don't think it was him individually.

SPEAKER_04 38:53

Um, a trusted lottery ticket. A trust has a trust, you're right. A trust has claimed a winning $85 million Powerball ticket sold in Altus, Oklahoma. So they and that this was from 2008.

SPEAKER_02 39:04

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 39:04

Um, so yes, it was his trust. That would be him, probably, because he knows what's up.

SPEAKER_02 39:08

He knows what's up. Yeah. Yeah. So it wasn't winning his trust one now. He's protecting the money. But it's fake. That is crazy.

SPEAKER_03 39:16

Just like when we had the billion dollar or 2.1 billion, they shut the TV off because there was a malfunction with the machine. And then they didn't even have like the drawing or whatever for like a day or whatever later. How hard is it? Put the bingo balls in the thing, roll it. Exactly. Pull them out.

SPEAKER_02 39:29

Exactly. You know what that is. BS.

SPEAKER_03 39:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 39:32

BS.

SPEAKER_03 39:33

Well, and then ironically, exact amount of tax money went over to Ukraine the next day. Wait, is that true? Yeah. Exact amount of money that was in the Powerball that went to the government, went straight to Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, no, that is true.

SPEAKER_04 39:46

I thought you were talking about this Jeffrey Epstein one. Oh no. No.

SPEAKER_02 39:48

You know what else is weird? Is that how come these people that win the Powerball? I mean, and I see like smaller Powerball winners, you know, they're always like, I want a couple million dollars and I went broke and then whatever, blah, blah, blah. I'm talking about these billionaire ones. How come they're not like big time celebrities? You think people would be following them around big time? Because that's kind of giant news. Like, I want to know what this dude that was working at Walmart now that just got a billion dollars, two billion dollars or whatever the hell it is. What's he doing? Like, I want to know play by play.

SPEAKER_04 40:18

Expect them to get into the club? I think that, right?

SPEAKER_02 40:20

No, I'm dead ass serious. That's that's why you don't hear about them. But I would think the paparazzi would would be following them, right? But no one's following them. Why? Because no one cares. They don't have anything. There, there's or no one exists.

SPEAKER_04 40:31

Well, that guy didn't have a big thing. Well, no, there's someone here in town that won.

SPEAKER_02 40:36

I I don't think I'm not saying that no one wins the Powerball. I'm saying that some of these giant ones, yeah. Oh, yeah, no, no.

SPEAKER_04 40:41

Well, yeah, because they could be anonymous at some places.

SPEAKER_03 40:43

Yeah, no, I I that's a good that's a good conspiracy. Only reason it restructured to the bigger bills that I think in like 2018-2019 they redid the format to the Powerball to create the amount of money that it's a lot harder to win because I think how they had it before was uh 72 numbers, maybe, and they added numbers to it to try and create a bigger pot. Oh and they did that with this, just like how they did the mega millions now is five bucks. So they do it because it it FOMOs people into buying more tickets. Right, right.

SPEAKER_04 41:16

That is genius, though. It's diabolical, but if they were doing that and like the big ones, these anonymous winners, were not actually real, maybe this is a conspiracy we can start.

SPEAKER_02 41:26

Whose money is it? I mean, like it's who's winning the money on the on the Powerball typically, anyways.

SPEAKER_04 41:31

What do you mean? Who wins half the pot, almost half the pot every time? The taxes, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 41:36

The taxpayer, or the the government does. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right? They get all that, they get all that money. So they're constantly winning. So we're constantly it's almost like it's another tax. It's a trick. It's a trick. It's almost like it's another tax. It is, it's a trick. I I heard, I don't have that stat uh queued up right now, but I heard, and you can AI this right now if you want, but I heard that because I want to know I want to know if it's true or not. I want to know if this is true or not. I heard that the the sports, the entertainment industry, all of that stuff combined makes less money than the Powerball does a year. I've heard that. I believe that. I believe that, yeah. That's crazy if that's true. Yeah. I mean sports industry, entertainment industry, that's wild.

SPEAKER_04 42:14

Yeah. No, I it is wild. It's a lot of money. A lot of water.

SPEAKER_02 42:18

Something's going on, man. It's a it's a freaking that this is a this is a conspiracy. This is more this is the truth. This is a fact.

SPEAKER_00 42:24

This is a fact, dude. Fact.

SPEAKER_04 42:27

No, that's why man, I just hate taxes, dude. I hate I I don't think it's possible for our government to not be corrupt in some ways. Yes. I just don't think it's possible. I think it's the nature of it. Eventually, maybe there's good intentions. We start a 1776, they had good intentions, man. And then now it's into this perverted, weird totalitarianism. One of the most corrupt places that has probably ever existed in the government. I mean, we're they're literally printing money out of thin air all the time. Like that's a real thing. That's not a oh, we're we have a deficit. Hey, treasury, print us some or uh the Fed, the Fed, hey, print us some some money out of thin air. Buy the bonds from us, buy the U.S. bonds. That's how they print the money. It's like this is a scam.

SPEAKER_03 43:10

It's always you look at the graph of taxes, it never goes back. The Republicans love to claim we lowered it to record. It's like, no, you didn't. It's not lower than it was 10 years ago. Absolute croc. It is absolute croc. But they lowered it because the Democrats absolutely killed us with taxes, and then they try and play the good guy. It's like, dude, you guys are all bastards, man. It's all show, it's all theater. Yep. Biggest spread and circus of all time. Political entertainment.

SPEAKER_02 43:35

Yep. Yep. Dude, can you believe I have a hard time believing that the founding fathers wrote the freaking that they were just humans? A little bit. I mean, think about this. They wrote this freaking they wrote all of these laws into place to protect us moving forward, and they were so damn smart. They were so smart. And there was what? How many colleges were in the U United States at that time? One? Maybe two? Was there even any? Yeah, there's some.

SPEAKER_04 43:58

I mean, you know, some of those colleges are going to be. Back to the 1600s, I believe.

SPEAKER_02 44:01

There was no internet, there was no freaking AI, there was no. I mean, they had to literally like read books. Uh, this sounds crazy to say it like this, but they had to read books and then come up with this mindset and then and and and know all this history, all this data, and then say, hey, listen, we want to lay this platform out for the United States. That was so genius. And then these guys on top of it were like out like Jefferson, he was out like mapping out, gritting out like Louisiana, and like they're out stomping the earth and growing, creating industries, and it's like, how did you have that much time, dude? Like, I had barely have enough time to get my kids to like soccer practice.

SPEAKER_04 44:39

Well, okay, there you go. So we had you're those are like real life important distractions now. Kids' sports, kids they didn't have any of that. They didn't have any OF accounts to people sitting online, they didn't have angry birds, they didn't have Roblox. What they did was read books. They went out and did things and developed real skills. That's what they did then. Now, I think that's probably proof that technology and access to information doesn't actually make you smarter. Dumb cuts down. We are the dumbest we've ever been, arguably. Um, these newer generations, and they have access to the entire world of knowledge right here. And it it doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_02 45:19

It just doesn't feel real to me. That's all. It just doesn't feel real to me. It doesn't feel real to me.

SPEAKER_04 45:23

It probably feels crazier now than even when we were in school because of the state of the world right now.

SPEAKER_02 45:28

Right. Right. Just it's one.

SPEAKER_04 45:31

Last one. Here's our last one. This is actually a crazy story. And I saw I saw this and then I watched the video of um David Spade talking about it. But in 2000, David Spade's assistant broke into his home in the middle of the night and tased him with a stun gun and attempted to kill him. After a struggle, Spade managed to get his gun and call 911. That's it. Yeah, dude, he was and I heard him tell the story. It is it was insane. He's not a big guy either. No, no. But he said he had a shotgun under his bed. His assistant came in and was like, he noticed that David woke up, and all of a sudden he's like, hey, the alarm went off, so that's why I'm here. And then all of a sudden he just whacked him. And he he realized, oh, he's trying to get he knows where my gun, he's trying to get it. Somehow he got it, ran out, and then uh, yeah. We literally almost didn't have David Spade. That's wild. Yeah. That is wild. Yeah, someone that you know, someone he considered a friend and everything. So but alright, all right. Uh we got to get to our second period meme studies class. Gotta move on here. More important stuff than talking about uh taxes and Iran. Dave, you want to pull up? We got five memes here. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 46:39

Meme away.

SPEAKER_04 46:41

The council of dads deciding to purposely mispronounce things that their kids enjoy. I had to include this one because Dave, I always think of when you say fork knife. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 46:49

Do you do this to your kids? Uh, it depends on if we're joking, yeah. But if like we're because I will play it with them seriously. It's like, dude, let's go play 40.

SPEAKER_02 46:57

What do you do you say stuff wrong on purpose? No, I do stuff like I I'm like, why are you standing like that? And then they like start adjusting themselves. I'm like, I don't know, dude. You standing, I don't know, just kind of standing a little weird. That's all I'm saying. Just kind of make them crash out that way. Don't know what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_03 47:12

Just make them insecure. Yeah, yeah. Make them insecure. It's when the kids uh like our my kid, if he plays a lot of Fortnite, it's like, dude, just dropping the gritty out of nowhere, just in the middle of the grocery store, just does a little gritty dance. I'm like, dude, what was that for? I don't know. And it's just like, dude, but you see it. It when that really came out when Justin Jefferson made that like super famous. You would walk the aisles and it was like the zombie walk. Kids would drop the gritty out of just thin air.

SPEAKER_04 47:39

Yeah, that's bad. Yeah, that was pretty bad.

SPEAKER_02 47:41

I roast my kid on the Nintendo thumbs all the time, too. I'm like, dude, the problem is you got Nintendo thumbs. You know, the thumbs were extra freaking fat because they play the video games all the time. They got super strong thumbs.

SPEAKER_04 47:52

Next one.

SPEAKER_02 47:55

Go ahead. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 47:57

It worked. No one peed on the floor. Pretty genius, honestly.

SPEAKER_02 48:03

That's not bad. It's not bad.

SPEAKER_04 48:07

The economy watching you study hard for jobs that don't exist. We will uh we will talk more about this. We have a lot of AI headlines and then we have our documentary of the day. I don't even know who that is. I don't either. But uh it's just funny because call and I heard I heard I I watched the financial networks in the mornings, and they were talking about this morning on CNBC um that probably one of the biggest industries to be hit by AI is gonna be colleges, which is like, oh, wait a minute, I thought it was an important thing. You're talking about it as a business, because that's what it is. Um yeah, there's no point for kids to go to college. There's zero point, and there hasn't been for a long time. But unless I always get the comments too, what about a doctor? Of course, of course. What about an engineer? Sure. Let them go. You yeah, you get the point. Stop arguing. College is a waste of money, it's a waste of time, it's a waste, it's a waste of a lot of resources. So um go to trade school, become a salesman. Those are the jobs that matter. And yeah, so that's that's the economy looking at uh K with DeGrip.

SPEAKER_02 49:13

Website developer used to be a big one. I saw a lady, I was at a I was at a uh a race in Daytona sitting next to a lady from Mexico that does her job is uh she programs AI, right? And she was talking about website development on AI using AI, and I was like, I don't know, I wouldn't even know how to do it. She's like, Oh yeah, look at it and she pulled over her phone and she's like, What kind of website would you want to make? And she put in the information inside there and just populated a website right there. She's like, You just need your domain now attached to that and put this in your and I'm like, There'll be a class of how to communicate with AI.

SPEAKER_03 49:46

Yes, because you've got to be able to format your words the right way.

SPEAKER_04 49:49

Maybe that's the thing is is learning how to use AI. Because if you can use it and and because you can use it for a lot of crazy stuff, right? But um, yeah. Alright, next one. Got a couple more. Screw AI. Screw them. How vegans think deer die in the wild. Eat the meat, folks. Eat the meat. It's got a lot of vitamins. Do we know do you guys know any vegans?

unknown 50:12

No.

SPEAKER_04 50:12

No, neither do I. No. Maybe they're usually sick. Like they're usually depleted of I'm serious. Yeah. They're usually dossel things. Well, they're you the hell's wrong, dude. But yeah. Uh, anyways, eat the meat, guys. Eat the meat.

SPEAKER_03 50:29

All right, I don't know what to do.

SPEAKER_04 50:30

And the last one. I can't read that.

SPEAKER_03 50:32

Uh $160 parking ticket. F you, Virginia Beach. Nice. How fast? Did you just ask me how fast I was going on a parking ticket?

SPEAKER_04 50:45

Dude, that's that's cold. Is that is that is that Bo? Oh, that's from when he was when he lived there, yeah. How fast? Zero, idiot. I was going zero on a parking ticket. The state that's the ultimate state of social media. I just that's one of the things that I love about social media is just seeing people expose their own stupidity. But there we go. That's your meme studies, folks. Kind of a short one today, but short one.

SPEAKER_02 51:14

I got a news article I'm gonna share. I didn't even like spool you up for it. You mind if I share it? Go ahead. Let's do it. So I got it.

SPEAKER_04 51:20

Well, you got what do you got for your own uh what do you got for your class?

SPEAKER_02 51:23

Today is gonna be the NCE double A tournament. Okay, RNS.

SPEAKER_04 51:27

A lot of sports ball today. Sports ball. I just share it in.

SPEAKER_02 51:30

Share the freaking share it in. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. And then we got some conspiracies to get to. I just lost it. I just lost it. Dang it. What am I doing here?

SPEAKER_04 51:39

Dave, hopefully your your conspiracy knowledge is up the par here. Yeah, it is. All right.

SPEAKER_02 51:43

Oh, yeah, it is, dude. You got my video? Yeah, I do. Okay. All right, let's rock and roll.

SPEAKER_03 51:48

Okay. Oh, yeah, I forgot about this.

SPEAKER_02 51:50

Yeah, you saw this? Yeah. All right, grab your grab your beanbags and buckle up because this one's a real hole in one. Straight to the slammer. Professional cornhole champion and quadruple amputee Dayton Weber, 27, has been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting to his hometown, uh, to his hometown friend. Uh, according to authorities, Weber allegedly got into an argument while driving. So the dude's driving, then boom, shot the front seat passenger, 27-year-old Bradrick Wells. He pulled over and politely asked uh backseat passengers to help him drag the body out of the car. And they were like, hard pass, we're getting out of here. They took us what? Yeah, they got out of there. So eventually he ended up ditching the body about 14 miles away. And the cops later spotted his car like 100 miles away in Charlottesville, Virginia, where they ended up uh uh arresting him at a hospital. He was uh being treated for some medical issues. So yeah, so this dude, like this triple amputee guy, like this is crazy.

SPEAKER_04 52:50

I saw, I think I saw that exact headline right there, and I was like, oh, that's a really stupid attempt at the video. That's a really stupid attempt at satire. No. You know, it's like a quadriplegic guy shot and killed someone and he was kind of driving. It's a terrible joke. And he's then and then they played the video of him shooting a gun. I was like, what? He's a cornhole champion on ESPN. Dude, the cornhole league. Dude, what the so do we know how he's a quadruplegic? Is he like a yeah?

SPEAKER_02 53:19

He had uh he had um what did he have? He had some sort of uh He's not a veteran. No, he's not a veteran. So that's not an honest question. When he was like a little when he was an infant, they had to cut his arms and legs off to save him because he had some sort of like a disease or something.

SPEAKER_01 53:33

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 53:34

I forget what it was, but flesh eating gangrene.

SPEAKER_04 53:37

Flesh-eating gangrene. Got bit by a brown lecloopse. Yeah. Got bit by one of them snakes, and they had to chop his arm off before it got to his heart. Shouldn't go to Costa Rica, folks. Yeah. I told him so. Yeah, that was a pretty viral story. Um true story. True story. Third period conspiracy corner. We got three headlines here. So, Dave, like I said, I hope you got your tinful hat on and your knowledge ready. Because we got a couple things to talk about. So there is a weird one. Here's the first one Mystery of five missing scientists sends chills across America. Three are dead, and one troubling link is now under scrutiny in DC. And this is uh Grok uh summarizing the the key points of this Daily Mail article. The Daily Mail spot uh post spotlights five U.S. scientists, two missing, retired retired general William McCasland, and NASA engineer Monica Reza, and three dead MIT physicists Nuno Lerro, Caltech astrophysicist Carl Grillmere, and Novartis chemist Jason Thomas. So all these people take a stop here, highly decorated, uh, highly profiled people, all of them. I mean, we're talking about we're talking about NASA. Yeah, we're talking about a general, MIT, Caltech. Uh so all these, they're linked by expertise in fusion energy, exotic materials, and exoplanets with McCasslin's ties to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base fueling UFO reverse engineering speculation. And Wright Patterson's a big one in the UFO world because that's allegedly where some of these crafts went at some point. Cases span from June 2025 to March 2026, including an assassination, gunshot killing, and an undetermined drowning. Rep Tim Burchett is probing a troubling link to national security and UFO disclosure. So that's the big enchilada there. Oh, and and a possible suppression of free energy technology. It's always surrounded by that, dude. Yep. But it is okay, so that's the conspiracy is that all of these people, these very, very highly big accolades, highly decorated people, have suddenly gone missing or died. Like how how long span is this? Within the last year.

SPEAKER_01 56:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 56:00

Over the last year. And um, they're all connected to this this this UFO stuff, this UFO UFO research. So here's the part that's crazy to me. This is real. This isn't a this isn't a conspiracy. All these people are missing or dead.

SPEAKER_01 56:14

Right.

SPEAKER_04 56:14

All these people did these jobs, they were all in these classified programs, they all studied this stuff, but nobody cares. Whenever you bring this stuff up, it's just wild to me. It's like, isn't this the cool, the possibly the coolest thing to ever happen to the entire existence of humanity? Is this the biggest breakthrough ever? Yeah, and we're like, it's just it's just just slop, dude. It's slop. They just don't want you to know about freaking Iran, dude. It's like all right, man. All right. You know, they don't want you to know about the plan. Trump has a secret plan. That's like, trust the plan. Shut up.

SPEAKER_03 56:55

Well, dude, did you see like because it's totally interdimensional when you talk about this? And what I kind of going off this, did you see the Brian Johnson video of him doing uh dude? That was not right. What like doing what? Uh he did they call it the God chemical. Where yeah, and but it was like a special uh chemical compound of DMT. Okay, and he did it live, so he took an injection and then he smoked another like 18 grams or something. That's a lot, isn't it? Like an insane amount? Yeah, it like dude.

SPEAKER_02 57:26

What happened?

SPEAKER_03 57:27

Uh well, you don't really you can't really see it, but like I anyway. The theory of it is that all these per all these high-end billionaires are doing this so they can connect into the upper dimensions to that can communicate to create that breakaway civilization.

SPEAKER_04 57:43

Um dude, he's right because he's absolutely he's spot, he dude, he predicted what's happening with AI in that clip to a T. Dude, to a T to a T.

SPEAKER_03 57:53

And that is what I think is happening is like uh when you have these people that may go talk to someone that may be Bob Lazar type, like you bring them into that secret group, and then they go, they have any speculation that this person is gonna go blab, you're done, you're out. Because you can't that breakaway civilization doesn't happen if other people know about it. You know, people stop it.

SPEAKER_04 58:18

Though so on that Brian Johnson thing, um there's another guy that I watch all the time now, Chase something. He's got he's everywhere, he's been on a bunch of podcasts, but he talks about like the power of the mind and um a lot of the psyop stuff, just psychological anything, hypnoti hypnotization. Um, he used to work with the military on this stuff, but anyways, all these people that take specifically that DMT, whatever that compound was that he took of DMT. I don't know how many different ones there are, but everyone describes the same thing. They all describe the same exact experiences, they all see like one of ten different beings. They all see one of them. They all the like there's allegedly some lady with a with purple hair, like they all see the same thing.

SPEAKER_03 59:04

Medusa.

SPEAKER_04 59:05

Yes, that's the weird thing to me about that. Is like, wait a this is not like a hallucination within someone's own brain. Yeah, if everyone is seeing the same thing, that's something else. That's not like a delusion that an individual is having. That's not a high. Right, right. And they're all saying that same thing, they're all talking about that. So on the alien stuff, um interdimensional, dude.

SPEAKER_03 59:26

Well, and then they talk about too that uh you have to be able to pass this on because you can't do it. If you do just like I would just say, like any drug, you build up that tolerance, so you're not able to jump into that 12th dimension, so to say. Ah, dude.

SPEAKER_04 59:44

That sounds crazy, but well, you know what you know what also is weird? It is that DMT, and this is like total Joe Rogan stuff here, but um, it is in it's in us too. Like we have it in our brains. Yeah, it's it's like a uh third eye. Well, that's kind of what they call it, right?

SPEAKER_03 59:59

But yeah, so they have to pass it along because uh if you do it too many times, you only get so many times to do this.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:07

You can pass along the information, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:08

Yeah, because you can't do this, you can't sit there and go on this extreme scenario over and over and over again. Yeah, you just can't re- you can't ascend to that 12th dimension. It's uh it sounds crazy, but I know we've talked about this before.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:23

I don't know if we talked about it on the podcast, but you guys ever hear the story about the guy that um he did the dolphin house? They're trying to teach a dolphin anglix. Yeah, they tried to teach a dolphin. Yeah, so they they knew and we know that dolphins are very smart because they have giant brains and they they have their own ways of communicating. And um, this guy wanted to try and teach a dolphin English, so he they created this house that was like in water. There was a lady that was um they hired her to teach the dolphin English, so she lived with the dolphin and she tried to teach it English, and so that was the whole thing. But this guy that did that, you know, uh, I can't remember his name, he also developed, um, I don't know if he was he helped I don't know, I want to say develop acid, but he was he was one of the early users of acid. Yeah. Um, and he also I think he developed the um what's the the hyperbaric chamber? The the um oh the float tank, the isolation that yeah, so you no senses. Like you you don't have like it's the the senses. Yes, the isolation tank. So you sit and float in water and you can't hear anything, you can't feel anything. So he would take acid and he would just go in these this the um the deprivation tank, the sensory deprivation tank. And he like he got obsessed with it and he just went slowly went insane. Yeah, but that but he but he was convinced that he was tapping into something when he was taking this stuff. Yeah, dude.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:46

I can't think I can't help but think you know, you're talking about ascending dimensions, and I man, I just keep thinking that heaven is another dimension, right? Like we we we just we cross over to another dimension, which we know exists, we know he other dimensions exist. That's not even that's that's a not even a theory anymore, that's a fact. But 2018 they proved it and that there was a uh a prize of noble what not noble surprise, what it's called. Uh but um anyways, uh what if you couldn't ascend to heaven after doing DMT because well that is what they say so what if you what if you died and you couldn't make it to heaven? What if heaven was the 12th dimension, right? And and you're like, dude, you got stuck somewhere in there. You got stuck in this, and I'm not gonna I don't want to call it purgatory, but you got caught in a dimension not to heaven because you took DMT. And you're dude now, you're you just can't you can't elevate all the way up once you die.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:38

That's what uh AJ talks about too, is by being able to capture and like control your mind, isn't this idea of like everyone's under a hypnotic spell? It's that you're controlling everybody, and that's the evil side of it, is that they don't want other people to ascend to that level by dumbing us down and keeping us controlling the pineal gland or whatever, whatever makes us naturally do it, is that's the goal of the elite and the breakaway civilization is that when we die, we are stayed and stuck here while the elites do ascend and we're stuck here.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:11

You should pull up that clip, dude. Wait, let's play that clip. Can you find that clip? It's like two minutes long. Someone posted it. Make sure it's the one without music, too. We you gotta hear this because he predicted what's happening with AI. Like this is 2018. Okay. Um, but while you're doing that, while you're pulling that up here, let's move on to the second headline of conspiracy theory. Um, conspiracy corner, I should say. Number two, is this so this has happened in the last couple weeks now? Bigfoot sightings light up the gloomiest corner of Ohio. Residents report dogs are shaking in fear. At least seven Bigfoot sightings have been reported across Northeast Ohio since Friday. According to the minds at the Bigfoot Society. With most of the encounters coming between Akron and Youngstown in Portage County. One of the latest alleged incidents happened Monday evening in Streetsboro with the witness insisting she hadn't seen any of the other reports or the sightings. Quote, they were passing like Tinker's Creek. They were passing the Tinkers Creek area when a six and a half foot lean brown Bigfoot appeared in their lane, but going against the flow of traffic, the Bigfoot Society's Jeremiah Borin said.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:22

Um not six foot, six and a half foot.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:24

And this is this is a New York Post article, and this is how they this is one of the lines that ended it. Surprising, no one, perhaps none of the Bigfoot spotters have managed to snap a photo despite the ubiquity of high-resolution cameras on modern smartphones. What a troll there at the end of that article. But that's the thing. It's like, wait, it was in traffic and nobody got a shot of it, dude.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:46

That's a strange. I don't know. I don't I don't I I can't get behind Bigfoot. I just can't do it. I can't do that one. I can do aliens, yeah. I can do multi-dimensions, I can do shit. I can do I mean I can go, I can go, I can do a lot of them, but I just can't do that.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:58

What do you think about feral people in national parks? You think that's a real one? Have you ever heard of that one? Like have you heard of that conspiracy? I don't know about feral.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:08

Like I think I have heard that now that you didn't we do it. We might have. I think we did something like that on that. What's Tom? Do you think that's real?

SPEAKER_04 1:05:18

Do you think there's any let's just say just have you seen the the uh M. Night Shamlaw movie, The Village? Dude, there's no way. Have you seen the M.n. Shamlaw movie? No. You haven't? No. Oh, dude. Dude. You know who that is, though. Like the uh Sixth Sense guy? Yep. That guy has the best movies or the the most atrocious movies. Like it's it's it's it's literally one or the other. Yeah. There's no in between. That guy's movies are awesome or they suck. Yeah. That movie was awesome. Uh spoilers, if you do if you want to watch the village, go watch it. In that movie, there's a group of like people that are the whole movie is like the 1700s. I've seen this. Yeah, now that you say that. Yeah, now I remember it. Yep. But they're they bring. broke away and went to live in like a little national park away from everyone and then they they broke away from society. It's at the at the end I was like, oh that's amazing. I want to do that. That's amazing.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:13

It's possible you have some gatekeepers, right? I mean that's what they have over there.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:17

Uh it should be on here. It's I found the right one, but the page just reposts so much crap.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:23

I know. You know what? And I I said this on uh X2. Do you go on X much anymore? Yeah. I have a hard time going on there because it's just a bunch of accounts reposting old viral stuff.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:38

Trying to hit the algorithm and get paid. It's I literally I commented on one of um one of Elon's tweets and said you should end the creator pay program. End it. It'll fix everything. It will fix everything on that website. Stop paying people for posting garbage and that's your problem solved. Because before it was literally just like it was clout. If you posted good information you got followers. People followed you right if you didn't then people muted you.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:04

They blocked you and how do you not know that they're bots or not too well that's a problem too yeah you know I I feel like I I heard somewhere that it's like 60% bots are on there.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:13

It's a lot. I would I would not be shocked if that was uh if that was the case I dude haven't I sent this to you before Dave?

SPEAKER_03 1:07:23

I cannot believe you can't find it. I dude I have it right here on my phone. I just I don't know how to upload it. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:01

I did yeah you think Samsquatch is real no I think uh well like what I think with Sasquatch is there's money in it so like uh Reamer Minnesota claims to be there's probably a hundred Sasquatch capitals of the world that gets a little tourism out of every year by doing this by being dude see if you can download that if you have if you have verified prime or uh X you can do it.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:22

Yeah see if you can download click on the video.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:24

Give me the video give me the thing dude give me the thing give me the thing. Every single time that town because what was it in Ohio that was a sorry you can't I can't it was a perfect uh can't mine that had the Bigfoot sightings. Did you know how many people flocked out to Ohio to go see if they could find Bigfoot just because of that yeah I mean yeah I want to believe man I want there to be a Bigfoot but they're just saying a Bigfoot.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:50

Yeah they're just saying a Bigfoot.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:52

I'm gonna record this real quick I'll just screen record it.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:54

Okay. Uh while you're doing that let's um let's get to our next one here. Dave and I think this is part of the QAnon stuff. Yes. So I think that yeah yes dude is when I just talked to a friend um who uh whose uncle is a big QAnon guy. Yeah. And it was because we were talking about politics and just like how some people are just gone. And those people still are out there man in droves.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:20

They're still yeah well dude it just one headline all of a sudden re-sparks the whole thing and creates that flurry over and over again.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:28

Well I I went to the comments on this one on this post and you can see it. But uh so is President Trump a time traveler centuries old sketches spark new conspiracy theories.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:38

Something's going on there.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:39

So there's dude this is it's pretty wild. Um so let's see here move over science fiction the internet thinks Donald Trump uh might have cracked time travel this is a New York Post article a discovered trove of 100 year old sketches by a Prussian born artist Charles Del Shaw could hold clues that the former president and his youngest son Baron could be hopping through decades observers suggest. Yeah so there's a book okay conspiracy buffs are zooming in on the word Trump scrolled across some of the drawings of this guy it literally says Trump on there add to that a blonde doodled person steering a craft labeled 45 and theorists tinfoil hats are practically melting then there are the books and this is what you're talking about Thief a previously reported by the Post in the 1980s in the 1890s a guy named Ingrisol Lockwood penned tales featuring a boy named Baron Trump who lived in the lavish castle Trump and traveled through the weirdest adventures guided by a wise mentor Don. Is this true though? I mean like this is a real book that is a real book no no no no stop this is a real book printed in 1890 this is not a conspiracy okay yeah no this is a real book I just want to make sure because I didn't know if somebody like said it's a real book and it's not a real book. No it's a real book this is a New York Post report on this real uh fans of theory say the uncanny similarities to Baron Trump are too strange to ignore the last president this is the craziest part dude the last president Locke would imagine a chaotic New York vote and Fifth Avenue riots. Yes really in the author's tale President Bryan picks a Pence for his cabinet just like Trump's former V Mike Pence that is actually insane dude very weird coincidence for sure but um people are gonna be listening to this be like there's no way that's real here's the part about the Q people that always kills me is like there's no such thing as a coincidence. That's a wild thing to say that is a wild thing to say because yes there's a lot of coincidences.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:51

There is um that one I don't know it's kind of weird because like obviously it's real but we've we've discovered time travel um wildly but it's like through fiber optic cables. So we can't really it that's the funny part is if you look up uh try and look up like the discovery of time travel and it'll essentially tell you it's fiber optic uh internet because it's transporting one thing to another spot teleportation yeah or teleportation so we figure out teleportation yeah but uh they've kind of came out and said I don't think uh it's even real I don't think yeah because we can't uh that's the whole theory in science you can't create or destroy matter so it goes against everything that science kind of stands for in that way yeah um trying to happen again Daniel so even the family's own words have become ammunition for theorists the commander in chief says has repeatedly said I know things that other people don't know um and then Kai Trump was asked about this stuff I don't want to go down those rabbit holes she says so anyways um and then you go on this post that I I found this on is on on X and in the comments dude it is I can't read the comments what the hell dude's wild they're like you missed the best one and it like it circled a bunch of numbers on there it's like I don't know man um okay speaking of bots though one thing I gotta say on that is um do you know that account called Sassafras? It's really uh it's a really big account and the amount of tweets that it would have it it would send out I think 1800 tweets a day what is its average tweet count per day and it's massive it's got like 600 700 thousand followers I always thought it was Lauren Bobber because that was one of the rumors it was like her burner account.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:41

Yeah but it's like dude 1800 tweets a day that's not even right so it's not her no it's uh it's definitely uh AI bot like dude yeah people game that that X algorithm so hard it's so frustrating yeah um but is Trump a time traveler no no I'm gonna go with yes I'm gonna play devil's advocate here I'm gonna go with yes the the amount of people that believe that is uh crazy I I'm just gonna say like yeah I guess we'll we'll see the jury's out he's not a time traveler but uh I think something weird is going on there though I I just it just something just doesn't feel right to me I don't know just I just gotta leave it there. Yeah we'll leave it there. We'll leave it there. We'll see how this Iran stuff goes I feel like things are not going well though so to for him to be a time traveler I feel like you know could have planned things out a little better. This is me. But um let's get on to this video. Oh this is a gem dude. Okay so this is this is Alex Jones uh this is episode I think 9-11 of Joe Rogan and also try to find this on YouTube I don't believe you can I uh I tried to look it up one night and they've they've highly suppressed it and you have to go to like some obscure site like Rumble to watch it.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:57

Uh and on uh your podcasting apps you can find it on uh Spotify but it's like uh when I had to re-watch it was like the green it's a crap channel that takes all the band Alex or the uh Joe Rogan episodes and puts them on there.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:12

But listen this is perfect. But there's this big war trying to like basically destroy humanity because humanity has free will and there's a decision to which level we want to go to we have free will so evil's allowed to come and contend not just good. And the elites themselves believe they're racing using human technology to try to take our best minds and build some type of breakaway civilization where they're gonna merge with machines, transcend and break away from the failed species that is man, which is kind of like a false transmission because they're thinking what they are is ugly and bad, projecting it onto themselves instead of believing no, it's a human test about building us up. And so Google was set up 18, 19 years ago this was I knew about this before it was declassified, I'm just saying I have good sources, that they wanted to build a giant artificial system. And Google believes that the first artificial intelligence will be a supercomputer based on the neuron activities of the hive mind of humanity with billions of people wired into it with the Internet of Things. And so all of our thoughts go into it and we're actually building a computer that has real neurons in real time that's also psychically connected to us that are organic creatures so that they will have current prediction powers, future prediction powers, a true crystal ball but the big secret is once you have a crystal ball and know the future you can add stimuli beforehand and make decisions that control the future and so then it's the end of consciousness and free will for individuals as we know and a true 2.0 in a very bad way hive mind consciousness with an AI jacked into everyone knowing our hopes and dreams delivering it to us not in some PKD wirehead system where we plug in and give up on consciousness because of unlimited pleasure but because we were already wired in and absorbed before we knew it by giving over our consciousness to this system by our daily decisions that it was able to manipulate and control into a larger system. There's now a human counter strike taking place to shut this off before it gets filled and to block these systems and to try to have an actual debate about where humanity goes and cut off the pedophiles and psychic vampires that are control of this AI system before humanity.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:30

Isn't that amazing he literally predicted how AI is being built and that's why that's exactly why Elon Musk bought Twitter to to develop his AI. Yeah that's a giant treasure trove of information to train an AI on the regular too constantly feeding the beast. So yeah you have all these companies developing these AIs with information that we voluntarily give them through our phones.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:54

And think of Google the search engine I mean they control well over 90% of all searches so they're getting the information all day every real time far more than X, Facebook, anything else.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:06

Yep and then you control the media you control the newspapers all that information flow that's coming out to us that's like you said changing our minds to make us you know to to deviate from the direction that we're heading.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:17

And no news station ever gives news it gives you we could take uh fire on Fifth Street you would have the one side say how terrible and disgusting and vile the the way it was handled and then the other side even though it's the same situation would say this was absolutely the most perfect well timed handled situation that we could ever have.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:37

It's never just the news super interesting about that too is that they can control like who's getting that information right so like my neighbor could be getting completely different information than I'm getting and I'm getting indoctrinated with this position. They're getting indoctrinated with that position and we hate each other and we don't talk to each other and we're not a community and we're being broken up as a family and we're yeah but they feed that to you because based on everything that you look up they know exactly how to cater that story into the specific one that it's going to keep you reading that's going to bring you in click on it and go, oh I'll read this I'll look into it and they have that information because of all the technology that we use on the regular it really at the end of the day to me it comes down to it feels again we talked about this at the beginning it feels like the the difference of good and evil like we are in a fight against the devil right now. You know and it's weird too even when he talks about because he was like well it goes against the pedophiles and the vampires it's like that's a weird thing to say dude like I mean like hold on like all everything he just said is happening except for that vampire thing.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:36

Psychic vampires he said yeah oh psychic vampires okay I was like waiting this is he need he describes it that's what I think people get turned off on him sometimes is he's very that vampire is a that's what that's a crazy word to say right but it's a very accurate thing to say look at like we just talked about us willingly giving them information they are vampiring and sucking out all this data from me daily on this stupid little device and and they're doing that they are literal psychic vampires every day we are all giving it up and we're not even willingly we're unwillingly giving it to them too in most cases yes I mean it's listening to us talk it's sits in the phone I mean the ads are popping up last night I was mid-scroll through mid-scroll literally mid-scroll I paused I was talking to my wife and my wife goes she laughs and she's like I so I paused Instagram right I paused it and and she's like hey a a a recruiter a uh a a recruiter called me for a you know an anesthesia job and I was like really I was like huh I started scrolling again guess what the next ad was anesthesia an anesthesia recruiter ad like literally the next flick was that I've never seen an ad in my life on that I don't know why that's funny I was mid scroll like were you touching the screen one minute around I was mid scroll dude the day that turned to a reality of number though if you're talking mid scroll I was mid scroll I was pissed dude mid scroll I was in the middle of getting my dopamine fixed that wasn't even getting psychic vampired and all of a sudden dude that wasn't even a word like 10 years ago that was like a not even a thing 10 years ago mid scroll like okay well on that okay so that's why I think that clip is so crazy to me is because I remember watching that and that was one of the best episodes I've ever seen at that time too I mean it was 2018 I was like this is amazing yeah um but I remember listening to him say this and be like dude that's I believe that's gonna happen but there's that's gonna be a long ways out there like they're gonna have all this data on us and just like create this AI machine what no way dude we would stop it before that happened. That would that was always my thought. Yeah it's like oh that's the hope right yeah now we're there we are we are we are like past the point of no return and we're gonna talk about more of that um here in a like at the end of the show uh with the the YouTube video that we watched the documentary but um yeah let's so let's save some of that but it's weird like you know uh like you said that that word didn't exist what is happening today if we went back you know five ten years ago and said like yeah this is where we are gonna be it would be hard to believe it'd be like fantastical it'd be like this is like 2050 maybe 20 maybe but maybe in our lifetime and where is it going where's it going I just saw that I just saw a a thing the other day like they someone like created a piece of a human brain like a little petri dish of a human brain it was playing a video game did you guys see that oh yeah yeah I think you said it to me uh maybe yeah while someone sent it in the game I remember seeing it yeah yeah I mean how bizarre is that yeah like oh yeah we created a little piece of brain and now it's playing a video game it's well you were just watching it before we came in just of how dumb social media is making us but how addictive it is oh how terrible it is for the psyche and everything is like that's part of capturing the per capturing us and leaving us here in the dust and leaving us behind instead of ascending.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:06

I had a moment the other day at uh I was at Grizzlies and we I just paused the he was playing basketball and I'm just sitting there watching it with Foster and I looked around the room to see that just who was watching the game everybody was in their phones like and I mean not like some of the people were on their phones everybody was on their phones and I was like Foster look around look around right now like families were sitting together at the table not talking on their phones. Very weird it was very very weird seeing the whole restaurant on their phones. I'm seeing like hits and misses but never the whole place on their phones.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:41

It felt very movie-ish it's dystopian I I think I feel like it is a dystopian reality we're living in it really is and I it's I I feel like it's ironic every time I say that because we we exist because of social media but I don't know dude what are we doing what the hell what are we doing just in general like how have we not thrown this stuff in the the the one no the number one thing I always hear people say is uh you know why I don't get rid of specifically Facebook um is I I can't because of marketplace I can't because of marketplace and that's what they've done man they've consolidated all these very very very important Craigs yep yep and they've consolidated them all into a couple different websites and you almost don't have a choice uh I think someone um from our uh uh members they use it for business they have a ranch and they use it for they have to use it for for business so it's like they have to have Facebook right right right I it's like you can't you cannot get rid of it I've said it before but I always think the wildest part because when I worked at the print shop we were a small one and back in the day it was the family letter that got sent around of the update of the family.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:52

Oh Billy you know just got his uh tooth pulled last year and Jerry Jerry got out of jail. Yep and it was like just wild that it all everybody's daily yearly life was condensed down into like a two three page letter but because that's another thing is I don't want to get rid of Facebook because of the the family stuff. But you know back in the day dude it was cursive writing and uh waiting for a letter.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:16

Yeah waiting for a letter coming yep it's it's just wild.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:19

Okay so let's move on to our fourth period class because this we're gonna continue this conversation here. Um so I got we got social studies class here fourth period we got a couple more things to cover here but I got a bunch of headlines here for this one uh so kind of on the world we're living in technology we have games blah blah blah here's a headline two sisters in Florida ages 12 and 14 were rescued after allegedly being kidnapped by a 19 year old they met on Roblox the suspect has been arrested and charged with kidnapping I see so many stories off of this game called Roblox did you see the founder one of the main founders was just thrown in prison.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:56

What?

SPEAKER_04 1:25:57

Yeah because of everything that they found on his computer and everyone listening you can put your own yeah guess to that but dude well that's what I hear though is like a lot of these people these uh these paytos they'll go into these games because the chat rooms are pretty much untraceable they're un like uh Xbox Live used to be a place where all these uh people would go meet and talk yeah because it wasn't tracked but on in these games like Roblox you can sit and talk to people and it's it's pretty much and then they mass their voice though that's the problem too is they'll change their voice to make it sound like they're a little kid in the little kid room. Yeah it's messed up it's really messed up man yeah we don't our kids aren't allowed to play that game nice nice that's good there was there was something really really weird going on in there wasn't there like something like I thought there was like an Epstein the island thing or something going on inside that thing inside Roblox probably well probably a lot of a lot of predators using that. Yep and I think it's a really addicting game for kids too so they all want to play it.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:58

Yeah because it's kind of like uh I don't know Fortnite kind of has it's kind of like a Minecraft well the the here's the thing with Roblox is you can go on there right now and make your own game and introduce it to so there's like a million games in this one game. Because it's like you got your menu and you can go down and they have hockey they have football they got baseball they got uh Minecraft they got so they have all these games but you just got to download one game and you have access to everything.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:23

But it's in Roblox form. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:29

Moving on some more well a couple of Facebook things now that we were talking about Facebook Meta has patented an AI that can keep a deceased person's account active and running posting messaging and video calling by replicating uh by using their behavior from past data. Nope little uh talk speaking of dystopian nightmare merge with machines merge with the machines um also on Facebook here Meta announces they'll be shutting down the metaverse after pouring $80 billion into the project. Do you guys remember how big that was supposed to be? Yep. The next big thing, the metaverse. You're supposed to have virtual meetings across the country in the metaverse. $80 billion. And um, there we go.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:12

Because it looked like we characters. Yeah. I mean, the graphics to it is like, you're not having a meeting. I'm not going to be able to look at you and have a meeting and talk about budget dis budget discussions and expansion, firing somebody, and you look like a freaking me character. And just little we characters.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:26

I try to get to get you to laugh the whole time. Yeah. Dude, next week I'm going into next week I'm going into this. I'm sitting here like looking on this Roblox thing. This is going to be a topic next week. All right. All right. This is going to be a topic. That's a good one. Did you see that? Did you hear the headline?

SPEAKER_04 1:28:39

Uh it made it has made a pat or has patented an AI that can keep a deceased person's account active on Facebook. They just got that patent. I don't know. That's what they want though. Yeah. Active. Yep. And then some more. Okay, this is this is all kind of connected here. Pokemon. And then we kind of already knew this, but this is it's now going further with the Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go was one of the OG AI data harvesting operations. And we know this now because they're saying it. The other one that they haven't said this, but I feel like it's it was pretty obvious, like the 10-year challenge. You're supposed to post your face like you 10 years ago and you now is like, oh, they're gonna use that to train how uh uh AI traces.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:33

Sure, sure.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:33

It's like and then people just voluntarily gave it up. Right. Um, but this is the Pokemon Go was a big deal. Um this was like 2015-16 time frame it started. Uh yeah, I'll never forget, dude. I went so hard on this, man. And we we and I was I did for a couple days because it was kind of fun to reminisce, but um, we we contributed to this because it says here uh it says photos and scans collected through Pokemon Go and its AR apps have produced a massive data set of more than 30 billion real-world images. I heard 80. 80 billion? Yeah, wow. Yeah, the company is now using the data to power visual navigation for delivery robots, letting them identify exact locations on city streets without relying on GPS. So there you go. There you go. Huh. Talking about that's psychic vampire right there. That's exactly what that is.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:25

Okay, so so this is kind of scary if you think about it. All right, so we know Google Maps. You can go to Street View, right? I'm just thinking about how you could use this. So Apple, if you go in your Apple phone, you can punch in like New Orleans or you can put in Minnesota, and all those pictures populate, right? But you could also put in things that are more specific, like St. Paul, Minneapolis, and it and it populates that. What if that thing is pop, you know, it's tracking, it obviously tracks your where you're going and that, this and that. So what if everything has your coordinates exactly and starts patching everything together inside people's houses, inside it can start it, it knows this thing as it works as a compass. It knows exactly where you're at, what direction you're pointing your phone, everything. It knows everything. So it can patch, it can basically kind of patch this fake world, real world, of everything that's in our house. So if I took a picture of you right now, it knows what direction I am at, what location I'm at, everything. Right? So it patches that. If I take a picture of you, now it knows it starts knowing this room.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:24

Well, dude, that's what that's what this did.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:26

It starts doing that. It's patching everything inside my house. Yeah, it's patching in New York City, it's patching everywhere. That's Pokemon Go, dude. And it's constantly updating. It's constantly updating. But I'm saying, like inside like your Apple, though, like your Apple Photos app. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:39

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:39

Inside your Apple's photo app, which is in your phone, which people will already doing it.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:43

I mean, roughly uh 300 photos per second for the last 10 years is what they've been harvesting. Oh man, they could yeah, and then then on top of it, you throw in the videos, right?

SPEAKER_02 1:31:55

You start panning or anything like that.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:58

We have a blind spot here, throw a Charizard over there.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:01

Dude, that's spooky actually. If you think about that, like, yeah, it's like, wait a minute, we need to use this game to fill in some spots.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:07

Dude, I drove into a construction site for a Gengar, man. Oh, what the hell's wrong with you? Dude, yeah, it was like midnight, and all of a sudden driving into this construction site, and all these guys are like, dude, what the what is this guy doing? There's a Gengar over here. Yeah, sorry. As I'm looking at my phone driving, like, dude, it's right up here. Uma keep driving, drive. And it kept going further and further, dude, kept bringing me along.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:30

And needed more data from you. Yeah. Uh, last one here. This is a little bit off topic on the social studies, but um, a study involving 1.7 million children has found that myocarditis and pericarditis only appeared in children who had received COVID mRNA vaccines. Not a single unvaccinated child in the group suffered from these heart-related problems. 27 cases per million after the first dose and 10 million per, or a 10 per million on the second dose had uh these heart issues. So there's some uh some data for you, some real important data. Population control. Speaking of things that we don't talk about enough, uh there you go. More and more and more and more and more and more studies show that these vaccines were not a good idea. Um, and people just don't want to hear it anymore. They're like, oh, we whatever, dude. Get over it, dude. Dude, we still talk about you just broke up the family, you asshole. Yep. And you don't want to talk about it now? You literally had a meltdown, and you you because someone wouldn't take the vaccine. You're gonna kill grandma. You're gonna kill grandma. People got fired for their jobs, and people literally died with how it was handled. So uh yeah, no, it's it's very, very this is this actually pisses me off. And again, people just don't want to talk about it.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:45

I had this conversation at the doctor today. I was like, I literally I said, I can no longer, I'll never this gener my generation, not I shouldn't say my generation, but like me for the rest of my life will no longer ever give my trust completely into the medical field. I just can't do it. I'll never do it again. I don't trust I I have a hard time with doctors. I feel like doctors are there's so many hacks out there. They went they went by basically like a freaking little letterhead that got popped out on like a frickin' fax machine, and they they just ran with it. They didn't use their damn brains, they didn't troubleshoot the situation, they didn't look into any other kind of information. Nobody was out there ranting about what the truth is. There's a couple people out there that were doing it. My doctor, you know, yeah, I know there was there was a couple people out there doing it, and they ended up being right that were out there. I mean, they were like, look at the look at the data, look at the data, look at the data. But they were getting silenced. Even our freaking podcast got, I think, uh like oh yeah, yeah, yeah. You got hammered for talking about it. Yeah, you know, but yeah, I know it's frustrating.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:38

Um, and I do think it's important to keep it alive for sure. Um, even though you know we talk about it, drop little seeds like this here and there, but and again, I this is I hate to I hate to talk bad about Trump because I want him to do well, but this is one of the things this is and I I don't think anyone can deny this. There has been zero accountability for this, uh, and there won't be. And he is owning it, he's owning it like it was a good thing, and it's just it's infuriating. It's absolutely infuriating. So it's money. Yeah, I just cannot believe he yeah, drain the swamp, and this is probably the swampiest thing that's ever happened.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:10

And look at his whole secretary crew, every single one of them, I think except for one, got positions on boards at uh one of the uh between Pfizer, um, all those farmers. Well, on his first terms, yep.

SPEAKER_02 1:35:22

Really well, even this next time that he came in, if you guys remember, like back in it was January-ish, he was kind of chatting. He, if you pay attention to what he's doing, everything's leverage, right? He's always doing leverage. He's very good business, he's a deal maker, yeah. Right, but he's he'll say things sometimes I don't even think he necessarily believes, right? He'll say it just to create leverage to try to get somebody to make that movement that he wants them to make. But he was saying back in January about talking about being kind of anti-vaccine, this and that. Then all of a sudden, he had that big meeting with Pfizer. I don't know. Are you talking about 2020? No, I'm talking about recently, like this next next run. Yeah, this this last current run that he's had. Okay, and all of a sudden, frickin' here we are back again. That all just got washed under the carpet. I guarantee you, people got paid, people got positions, people got whatever the interest that they wanted. They it's everything's freaking the table set. Yep.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:13

You know, it's a big club and we're not in it, man.

SPEAKER_02 1:36:15

Yeah, it is. And I saw a thing, I saw this lady that keeps predicting stuff. I follow her on uh Instagram. She's predicting that in May that there's gonna be another vaccine like thing. Yeah, we'll see. You know, because well, there's she follows like I don't know. That's another that's another that's another podcast.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:32

Well, I guess we'll we'll save this one. Let's bookmark this for May. Bookmark it for May. Well, apparently uh she keeps being right there. All the all the doomsdayers say that was it Easter? Is something crazy supposed to happen on Easter?

SPEAKER_03 1:36:42

Uh something about with all the planets aligned up. It sounds like a Hercules type situation.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:36:54

You've ever seen Hercules? I don't know, man. That was a great reference, though. We got ourselves another Hercules situation.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:06

You dead that's funny, dude. You're like, you dead ass serious dude. You like with conviction. Yeah, I don't know, dude. I don't know about Easter, but yeah, that's apparently that's gonna be like a Hercules situation or something. The hell's wrong with you, dude. Well, it's what it is. You want me to talk on the on the radio? Just use what he needs, dude. All right, all right. We gotta move on. We got some sports ball, then we're gonna get back into some AI. Um, in the meantime, I didn't plan a a uh documentary for next week. So do you guys have any suggestions? I actually have one off the top of my head, but uh any good ones you've seen recently that we should watch?

unknown 1:37:51

Damn it.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:53

I was just thinking of one too.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:55

Let me think. All right. There's been a few good ones that have came out on HBO.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:59

Okay. Uh Dave, you what you go first this time. So Dave's covering flag football today. And then Daniel's covering what are you covering again? Uh NCAA tournament. Nice.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:09

All right. Oh, nice, dude. A couple sports balls then back to back. Yeah, we got some back-to-backers. Um, well, flag football is coming to the Olympics, and there is one team. So they did this uh thing this last week. And did you guys watch any of it? It had like so sports guys or NFL athletes put together their own teams, and they had like NFL coaches, they had, you know, Tom Brady was on a team, uh, the other team had Joe Burrow, Jaden Daniels. Uh so they put together all these teams, dude, and then they got smoked, smoked by the freaking uh So on that, uh, so was Logan Paul and I show speed on the other team?

SPEAKER_04 1:38:45

Yeah. Okay, why were they on the on their team? Because they they got to put together promotional, okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:51

And actually, Logan Paul didn't do that bad. He did pretty good, yeah. Yeah, but I think the interesting thing is is because now after these guys, the NFL players have seen how it's played, how it's done. I mean, we're the front runners to absolutely I mean, we've won the world uh flag football for the last few years. This team has no NFL athletes. I think they're all college athletes. Former. There's like a there's some older guys on there.

SPEAKER_04 1:39:14

There's like a 36-year-old guy.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:15

They're not bad though. I mean, they understand the game because it's a little different.

SPEAKER_04 1:39:19

It's very different because I saw the one guy running. Um, he's the older quarterback, he's like 36, but he was running and he like bounced down onto his ankles and then bounced up and bounced down and bounced up and spun. So it was like this weird agility that not every NFL player is gonna have, but yes, just to try to make sure they're not gonna get his flag.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:36

He's just constantly moving his hips like because you can't jump, but you can lower your your hips. You get that's the only rule with the they they call it flag guarding. So, like uh, if someone's reaching for your flag, you can't swat it away.

SPEAKER_04 1:39:49

Yeah, a lot of those guys, they'll just hold the football up like this, honestly.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:51

Yep, that's what I saw. And uh, but uh honestly, I really like the format of it. It was quick, it was 15-minute halves, and then it was uh quick turnover of halftime, no full running time. There was only one minute of stoppage before the half at the end of the game. So I mean it was really quick. I think it'll be pretty good. Very interesting when the Olympics comes around in 28. Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, it's gonna be in the Olympics? Yeah, yep.

SPEAKER_04 1:40:16

I didn't catch that part. Yep, yep. It'll be the first time and first time ever. Interesting. So other other countries have teams then.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:23

That's the part that's crazy to me. Because the other teams, the other big skill set of athletes that you want to get is uh NBA players, basketball players for the jump ball, for their speed, their agility, and uh so like uh the Slavic nations are gonna be pretty pretty good. I think like uh people that are really good at handball is like a good all those countries over in uh Eastern Europe. I don't know why that game is so popular, but dude, handball is just a massive game over in Europe. But dude, I think it's gonna be awesome. Like it'll be I think it'll be not as cool as curling, but it'll have that effect that it will bring a lot of people to the Olympics.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:59

Will we see pickleball?

SPEAKER_04 1:41:01

I hope not. Dude, I think I hope not. I hope not. I I'm so anti-pickleball, I'm so anti-gym sport. Like even flag football is like, eh, okay, that's whatever. Because you're not you can't have real football. Yeah. That's and if other countries are to compete, because other countries don't play it. So it's like, are you wanna, but why should it be an Olympic sport? Eh, nah, it's like a gym class game. It is like all these gym class games. Pickleball, are you kidding? Pickleball, dude? No, no, no. If you want to have a real sport in the Olympics, have tennis. Like, that's not pickleball's a joke, dude. Well, I mean, flag football, dude, it's like floor hockey. No, I'm saying, yeah, I agree. I don't think I don't think flag football should be in the Olympics. It'll be fun to watch, but I don't it's a gym class sport.

SPEAKER_03 1:41:45

No, that is honestly a good point because it is like I don't know. I always look at those games, pickleball, flag football now. It's for the retired athlete to go do something else afterwards. Like uh even cornhole, because cornhole has their celebrity matches where these guys got nothing else to do, so they sit there and they they're athletic, so it's not hard for them to jump onto this other sport. But then it's like Dirk Navinsky, pickleball phenom, I guess. The guy is seven foot. I mean, he covers the whole court with one step. Um, but dude, flag football, they got destroyed by the athletes.

SPEAKER_04 1:42:20

Or my or the my favorite is um on athletes trying to get into these gym class sports to make the Olympics and get a medal. So curling, everyone watches curling and they're like, Oh, I can do that. Hell yeah, easy. Yeah, so Jared Allen, Mark Burnell, and then uh two offensive linemen, maybe one defensive lineman, they formed a curling team, and they are they're not great, they get destroyed, and everyone hates them because they just walked into this curling. It's somewhere in Minnesota that they play too. I don't know if they still do it or not, but um they walked into this this sport that they saw as like this joke, which and curling has a pretty uh intense culture in Minnesota. Have you guys ever been to a curling club? No, not for a long time. It's honestly it's pretty cool. My mother-in-law does it, and um it's like it's it's a hard game. It really is. Like it's not it's 90% strategy, I think they'll say 80% strategy, 20% as execution, but I mean it's hard to execute on that. So, yeah, anyways, they are hated. They don't people are like, screw you guys, you think this is a joke, this is not a joke, this is hard. You're gonna get your ass whooped, and they get their asses whooped.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:28

And kind of like in this, I mean, these were uh Joe Burrow, Jaden Daniels. Um, I'm trying to think uh of their wideouts. I think Odell was on the team. Anyway, all these guys had a crazy catch. He did. But all these NFL guys come out there and dude, they got walloped.

SPEAKER_04 1:43:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:45

Good. Who put the flag football in there? Was it was it did LA make that pick?

SPEAKER_03 1:43:50

Um, I think Godell did it.

SPEAKER_04 1:43:53

I wonder if uh I wonder if does the home hosting city get to pick a sport? I thought so, but I thought it was after.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:00

I thought it was after the Olympics, but maybe it was before, or maybe it's I don't know before.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:04

I think it goes to a committee and gets voted on because that's how like wrestling got taken out of the Olympics for a while, and I think now it's back.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:10

See, that's crazy that ever got taken out of the city. That seems like an OG. It's like track and field. Like that's an OG sport. That is an OG sport.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:17

Go to Daggastan for three years, you don't come back.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:21

Wrestling's an OG sport, weightlifting, OG.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:23

Yep. I think yeah, all track and field.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:26

Yeah. Yeah, just like pure body, like physical ability, swimming. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:32

Like it's just it tests that uh you think of like a uh not decathlon, but like the uh triathlon type stuff.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:40

Right, right, right. Marathon.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:42

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:42

Like, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:44

Yeah, let's stick on the sports here. So, Dan, you're gonna talk about uh six period. We got Professor Daniel here, sixth period, and then we got one more period after this. Um let's talk about the NCA bracket.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:55

Uh NCA bracket. Are white people taking over basketball? That's not true. That's not true. But there is some truth to that, though. There is some truth to that. I I that's not where I was going, but have you guys actually have you guys noticed that? It seems like there's a lot of like good white people now playing basketball.

SPEAKER_04 1:45:14

Like, college basketball, I'd say, is generally I think, but I think the game's changing a little bit.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:20

I mean, just look at Iowa just like beat um Florida, Miami. Was it Miami they played the other day? Florida. Yeah, I think they beat Florida the other day. But it's all the Watson there? It was weird. Yeah, a bunch of porn fake boys. No, but that that's sorry, I'll let you it's like Cooper Cup too. Like who wasn't he first pick like two years ago?

SPEAKER_04 1:45:39

Cooper Flag or Cooper Flag. Sorry, Cooper Cup cheese. Yeah, Cooper Flag? Cooper Flag, Don Cheech, yeah. I I always love this. Uh they always have the uh have you ever seen the Barstool thing where they did the whites versus the blacks in the NFL? Yeah. Yeah. And and they did it, they they did a simulation, yeah, and then uh the whites got beat because they had no cornerbacks. And it was like, but now they have uh Cooper Dejean. Yeah. So it's like, oh, there's a chance. There's a chance. Well, I but the NBA would have a pretty good team. They'd have a pretty good team.

SPEAKER_02 1:46:08

Well, so on the NBA on the NBA, so they have uh like I was looking at the uh the bet boards on there, like for MVP, so it said 12% of the NBA is white, right? 12% on the uh on the leaderboards for MVP, over 50, a little over 50% of the people in running for MVP is white, which is interesting, right? Because there's such a low percentage that are actually playing. I thought that was a weird thing, like a little bit of a weird stat. I was because I was going down that rabbit hole, I was like, God, I wonder what that stat's actually is. You know, yeah, yeah. You know how I start doing that, I ask a question or I think of a question, and then I start going up.

SPEAKER_04 1:46:46

How many of the watts are there?

SPEAKER_02 1:46:48

But it really, but honestly, like on that, and this is not my this is not my my my bit, but honestly, it hasn't changed really much over the years. Even thinking, because I was like, you know, thinking of Europe being introduced in here. Yeah, yeah. I'm like, man, it must have changed a lot because now you're getting all these Europeans playing because they play it, they ball. There's some good Europeans, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:47:05

Well, they've been pretty good though back to the 90s, really.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:08

Yeah, yep. That's and that's what I was seeing too. I was seeing it was it went back quite a ways with the Europeans. So NCA double A tournament. Um, we're in the middle of March Madness right now, and I just started going down some of the stats, some of the weird stats that exist with the NCA double tournament, and I just want to share a couple of those stats with you. So this was an interesting one because I'm always looking to bet, and I think everybody's betting right now, this time of year, which is a big thing. So right now, uh there's over four billion dollars bet on this year on the tournament, which is up. Now, this year on the Super Bowl, 1.7 billion was bet on the Super Bowl. Wow. Yep. So over double has been bet on the NCAA tournament right now.

SPEAKER_04 1:47:52

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:52

Stat. No number nine seed or under has ever won it.

unknown 1:47:57

Ever.

SPEAKER_04 1:47:58

So ever lower. Uh yeah, but number nine seeds.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:00

Number eight was the guy. Villanova Wildcats in 1985.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:05

The guy that does a speech. Uh every day, you every day you should smile, you should let uh V V Villanova.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:12

No, no, no, no, the coach, the coach.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:14

They did the cancer thing review for him.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:16

Yep. Jimmy V. Jimmy V. Jimmy V.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:18

Yeah, that was in 1985 that they won it. So, and then also no number nine seed or lower than 11 has ever made it to the final four.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:27

Oh, wow.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:28

Which is interesting for stat. Like, so anyone that's doing their boards in that, you know, that's that's that's a weird one.

SPEAKER_03 1:48:33

And was it last year or the year before a 16 seed finally beat a one seed?

SPEAKER_04 1:48:37

Uh a couple years ago, and then it's happened. I think it happened twice. Fifteen and two happened a few times, and then I think 16 versus 1 happened two years in a row, I believe. Okay. Let's see. Sorry, keep it.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:49

That's right. There's never been a number, there's never been a perfect number one seed in the four final four, meaning that all the number one teams related to the final four, yes.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:56

Oh, really? That's actually interesting.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:58

Yep. Uh UCLA holds the record with 11 championships. This is a crazy one. The odds of filling out a perfect bracket, meaning that you predict all 63 games correctly, are approximately one in 9.2 quintillion. Quintillion. That's roughly the same as picking one specific grain of sand from all the beaches on the earth.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:24

Wow. That's wild, actually.

SPEAKER_02 1:49:26

The longest streak record is 49 correct picks.

SPEAKER_04 1:49:30

Holy crap. You know, that makes me feel a little stupid because so I did the Zed bracket and I did the auto pick on that. And then um on every year on ESPN I will auto-fill 25 brackets. You can only do 25 brackets. But I'm like, ah, whatever, I'll do it. One of these days I'm gonna get real close to getting one. Every year, it's like I get I get like fifty fifty wrong.

SPEAKER_02 1:49:52

Is there is it going right now? 'Cause I didn't even jump on it. Is it going right now? Do you guys have a do you have a So the Z bracket is going?

SPEAKER_04 1:49:57

Is it going? Um I I did an auto pick. Um Um, and I pick I got Duke go Duke winning. I'm in 24th place. D, did you pick what did you do a bracket?

SPEAKER_03 1:50:05

No, but so in our my one, my fantasy football, uh, they're 17th in the world right now for the NCAA brackets. Wait, wait. What? Who's 17th? Um your bracket? His 17. That's how oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 1:50:21

When we say his, who's his?

SPEAKER_03 1:50:22

Well, I'll say it afterwards. I don't know. I oh I think he views with us the same, but he sent a screenshot after the round of uh whatever the last one was. Number 17, not 17th percentile. Well, 17 on I believe ESPN. So, but he hasn't got any wrong. Can I see the screenshot? He hasn't got any wrong.

SPEAKER_04 1:50:42

90. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Wait, incredible.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:48

I believe so, yeah. There, I think there's a few left.

SPEAKER_04 1:50:50

Or maybe he's got one. No, there's no way he's perfect. He's got there's no way he's perfect. Well, point one, ninety-nine point nine. Well, that's his percentile out of the world.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:58

Oh, I see. Okay, I didn't even ask on the on the No, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_04 1:51:02

He doesn't have them all of them right. I don't think there's any perfect brackets left. That's awesome though. So that's what I because when I look, it'll be like, oh, I'm in the top 100,000. I think the other day before I got like three in a row wrong, I was in the like I was at 25,000. I was like, oh, if this five seed beats the four, I'm gonna be in like the top 10,000. And then it lost like the last three games of the night. Dude, that's amazing. Yeah. The only the crappy thing about that is I think ESPN, the number one, wins like five grand. Oh yeah, and then the then then 20 places win like a thousand bucks or something. Could you make it perfect? Yeah. So okay. So on CalShi, do you there's a free there's a free um bracket challenge on there. So I went in and this kind of segues into our next um well, we won't segway segue quite into the next one, but I went into Grok and I said, it was Grok or chat GPT, I can't remember, but I said, fill me out a perfect bracket, get no games wrong. Use data from you know the current season, um, defensive, offensive stats, shooting percentages, blah, blah, blah. And then it went through, it made me a bracket. So I'm in there, I'm filling it out, like, all right, 16 over one, blah, blah, blah. I get to the final four, and it says something like, I don't know what the matchups were was like, Duke over Florida, and I'm looking at the bracket that the AI filled for me, and I'm like, wait a minute, Duke can't play Florida, they're not on the same side of the bracket.

SPEAKER_03 1:52:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:52:22

So Grok or ChatGBT, they they were so stupid in that they couldn't even format the the NCAA bracket, so I couldn't use Chat GBT to fill out my bracket. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:52:35

I was pissed. Gets 80% of the way. Unreal.

SPEAKER_04 1:52:39

Um, but I okay, so on the NCA tournament. I feel like because I've watched probably like six games throughout this whole tournament.

SPEAKER_03 1:52:47

I haven't watched any in like a decade.

SPEAKER_04 1:52:49

Well, you know, usually I don't, but it is it's actually entertaining basketball. It's like, oh my gosh, this is like a team sport. You're watching these guys run an offense, you're watching the defense run a defense, who can be the most efficient, who can execute their their plans, versus the NBA, where it's come it's pure slop. It's just like, all right, hoist a three, hoist a three, hoist a three, let uh SGA go try and draw a foul. It's it's garbage basketball. It's and that's showing in the um the the ratings. The NBA is in a very bad spot right now, like super bad spot. People do not watch the NBA like they used to.

SPEAKER_03 1:53:26

It's gonna move. I I think personally it's gonna move into uh it's just gonna slowly adapt over to Europe because the the volume in Europe in China, they would dude their amount of money they would make way more over there than they can here. Are they doing LeBron James? Are they doing games overseas right now? They do in the preseason, but not in season. Well, that's surprising.

SPEAKER_04 1:53:48

LeBron James killed the NBA. Yeah, I'll die on that. Me too. He killed the NBA.

SPEAKER_03 1:53:53

Steph Curry was the dagger. Steph Curry was also a problem, too, yes. I mean, and uh unfortunately it wasn't really Steph Curry's problem. He was just a good three-point shooter, but it changed the way the whole game was played. There was no like, dude, I want Shaq. Oh, yeah, give me Shaq.

SPEAKER_04 1:54:08

Some real basketball. Yep. Make a move instead of just hoisting up 53s a game. Yeah, it's a joke, and then flopping for a foul. Yep.

SPEAKER_02 1:54:16

Yep. That's that's the one that bothers me. The flopping. I think too, bring back dribbling. You know, don't let them freaking walk all over the place. Yeah, you know, force it force traveling a little harder.

SPEAKER_03 1:54:27

Yeah, the star players will get eight, nine steps. Right. Like wild.

SPEAKER_02 1:54:30

Literally.

SPEAKER_04 1:54:31

There's so I just watched a video this morning of LeBron doing that. He caught a pass, didn't dribble one time, caught it at like half court, took five steps and dunked it. I was like, what?

SPEAKER_02 1:54:40

Yeah, they well, I mean, it's too much of a show and not and they've taken away from the game.

SPEAKER_04 1:54:44

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:54:44

You know, it's like, yeah, I get it's entertainment, but let's bring it back to the game so that we can at least call a game a game.

SPEAKER_04 1:54:50

Yeah, but that's why I like college basketball. Like it's like, oh my gosh, this game actually is a good game. It's actually it can be a entertaining and fun game to watch when it's not being perverted.

SPEAKER_02 1:54:59

So I used to I used to go to uh Gophers games all the time, and I quit when they started people are jumping ships so fast nowadays.

SPEAKER_04 1:55:07

Oh, that's that's a problem. It's you're talking about the NIL stuff?

SPEAKER_02 1:55:10

Yeah, it's just like they're jumping ship, jumping ship. I can't keep track of who's who on the team. Yeah. So I don't ever fall in love with somebody, right? Like you don't have that player that you're like, yeah, let's go this year. You know, he's gonna be back, he's gonna be better than last year. He's got another year of growth under him, and he's now he's a sophomore. Now he's a freaking, you know, when you get a badass freshman, you see him all the way to a senior and he's developed into a you know a full-grown man that's ready to go to the NBA. JJ McCarthy, dude.

SPEAKER_04 1:55:34

Don't even we get to watch him develop. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's like, what the hell? I'm sorry. No, that is the biggest complaint I've seen online is people are like the NIL has killed college basketball. Yeah. I don't agree with that, but a lot fewer lower seeds are are uh are beating the number one seeds. But you have some. I think it's uh is it Texas or Texas Tech is a 10 seed. Then you have Iowa, they're a nine seed, they beat them one seed. So it's it's not impossible, but a lot of these higher seeded teams do have we got Fred Hoyberg in Iowa, man.

SPEAKER_03 1:56:10

That doesn't count. That guy's just is he still the coach? Yeah, did you know he was a substitute teacher when he played for so he would substitute teacher when he played for the Timberwolves? Fred Hoyberg would be a substitute teacher, then go play basketball. What? Yeah, dude, he was the best.

SPEAKER_04 1:56:25

Only lots of dead-eye Fred hits a nil on the head.

SPEAKER_03 1:56:27

Dude, he only played eight minutes a game, but he was guaranteed. Oh yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:56:32

Here's another thing with like with these guys jumping ship. Look at JJ McCarthy wasn't even a senior. I didn't even realize that.

SPEAKER_04 1:56:38

No, I think he was a sophomore.

SPEAKER_02 1:56:39

He was a junior. Junior? He was a junior, yeah. So it's like these guys don't even get a full four years under their belts, and then these these teams are drafting them and putting millions of dollars into it.

SPEAKER_04 1:56:47

So if I were that at that position though, I would do that. What if you get hurt your senior year?

SPEAKER_02 1:56:51

I would as a I would as a player, yeah. But I'm just saying for as a fan. For yeah, as I mean, even the NFL should be like, hold on, dude, pump the brakes. Like, you want to get in here, you need to, you know.

SPEAKER_04 1:57:01

Yeah. See, again, though, like the injury thing is my problem. Is like I totally understand why they they allow.

SPEAKER_03 1:57:10

Especially the NFL.

SPEAKER_02 1:57:11

But here's my butt to it is that I still think they can get paid in college. If the colleges are making the you know, billions of dollars off these kids.

SPEAKER_04 1:57:19

Like Shaq. Shaq, that's where he made all his money. You know, everyone knows that.

SPEAKER_02 1:57:25

I don't know. I don't like it. Don't get don't get me wrong, I don't like it, but I mean, you know, someone's making the money. It's a tough one, isn't it not?

SPEAKER_04 1:57:32

It no, it's a really tough one because because it is those, especially like football programs, basketball programs, those colleges make a ton of money. So it's like, wait a minute, okay, this feels a little bit exploitive.

SPEAKER_03 1:57:44

Dude, maybe that's a good documentary, actually. Is that bowl game one? Oh, it exploits the N NCAA bowl games.

SPEAKER_02 1:57:51

Ooh, I haven't seen that. Okay. No. Okay, wait a minute. How about this? How about in reverse? How about take that money from all these sports and and make the damn tuitions cheaper?

SPEAKER_04 1:57:59

Yeah, that would make sense.

SPEAKER_02 1:58:01

You know, so that these players are going to these colleges and helping out all of the students as a team, as a community, instead of them just lining their pockets.

SPEAKER_04 1:58:09

What do you guys some sort of communist? My God, who's this guy? This isn't the communist show? This is operational paper clip. Uh, if the money if the money, yeah, I would say as a business, because that's what college is, is a business, if you're not going to pay the athletes, then that would make more sense. I would I would say, but no, college is a joke. Don't don't get me started, dude. Don't get me started. I don't want anyone to see just get weighted down with that college debt. It's a horrible mistake. Um, what's that documentary, dude? Because we'll watch it next time.

SPEAKER_03 1:58:45

I'm trying to find it here because it, dude, it was really good.

SPEAKER_04 1:58:47

It was just about how the uh college type in bowl game documentary. Yeah, it was about the way great moments in college, college bowl history. It was about how the uh College Football 150. Um we talk about college football now. Bowls and polls? See yeah, see if you can find it. Well, you know what? Um, if you don't find that, we're gonna I have another one that we can watch. Uh so back to the brackets. I'm twenty I'm I think I said this, but I'm currently 24th in the Z bracket challenge. And let's see, we got two people tied for first. We got Tom Mose and Chris Harrison uh uh Fick Bait.

SPEAKER_02 1:59:32

Well wait a minute. Here's a here's a documentary we could watch because it kind of still fits because it will still be going into uh we'll still be in the March Madness. Is that uh one about the uh about the uh the officials in sports gambling?

SPEAKER_04 1:59:46

Oh yeah. Oh, it's pretty good with the one with about the MBA?

SPEAKER_02 1:59:51

He was in the NBA, yeah. Yeah, it was the MBA.

SPEAKER_04 1:59:54

Yeah, the coach that got or the ref that got in trouble?

SPEAKER_02 1:59:56

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is it, the untold? It's been years since we have done that. Yeah, untold.

SPEAKER_03 2:00:00

Because I think I think the uh the timing's right. I agree, because I think too, the one that I'm thinking of is an untold as well, but I just can't think of the name.

SPEAKER_04 2:00:08

Operation Flagrant Foul?

SPEAKER_03 2:00:10

Yeah, that one, that's what is that what it was? I believe so.

SPEAKER_02 2:00:14

Operation Flagrant Fall?

SPEAKER_04 2:00:16

Yeah, it's with uh the yeah, I see I got the coach here. Jimmy uh D. Donahue. Donahue. Donahue, yeah. All right, that's what we're watching next week. Okay, so folks, we're in our seventh period film studies. We got one more class to go here. We're right at that two-hour mark. We're actually I don't know how, but we always get to that two-hour and eighteen minute mark for some reason. Uh so untold. Let me just write this down. Operation. What the hell did I say?

SPEAKER_02 2:00:42

I love how we just do this live. Like there's no there's no editing, there's just letting it run. Although I did say the F-word today. Um, did we catch that time?

SPEAKER_04 2:00:50

This is the beginning sometime. Ugh.

SPEAKER_02 2:00:52

Try and find it.

SPEAKER_04 2:00:53

I was gonna say it's like it's gotta be within the first 10 minutes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:00:57

That was a bummer.

SPEAKER_04 2:00:58

Say you're sorry, dude. I'm sorry, dude.

SPEAKER_02 2:01:01

I'm sorry, dude.

SPEAKER_04 2:01:03

It happens, but all right, it happens onto our film studies. And this one, um obviously we talk about AI all the time. It's a part of everyone's life, right? Um, but we have to. This is part of our ever-changing world, and it's gonna change more and more as this continues to grow. But so we watched this documentary called We're Not Ready for Super Intelligence. It's a YouTube video, it is about 34 minutes long, and I highly recommend everyone watch it. So, this is based off of a paper that was put together by some research AI researchers. Am I right? Yep. Yeah, so this is what the video is based off of, and it kind of outlines pretty much worst-case scenario for AI and the race of all these companies to get to AGI, artificial general intelligence, and create these AIs that are faster and faster and more productive and smarter and smarter that can make things more efficient and make jobs literally take jobs from humans. Um and they go on to talk about this, and this is the part that's scary to me that where I could actually see this happening, is they talk about the race with China and the race with China, and this is why it it feels like it's not stopping because everyone that I've seen talk about this. There was a guy that he made the social dilemma the guy he was on a podcast, and he was like, Every person I talk to about this behind the scenes in Silicon Valley, all these heads of AI companies, they all say, We don't know what's gonna happen, it could be really bad, but we'll see. Yeah, they're like they literally don't know. They they could be opening Pandora's box into some hellscape, um, literally nightmare scenario, but they don't know. They're just they're just gonna do it and see, and hopefully they're the first ones there. Because if they are the first ones there, they will literally run the world. Yeah, whoever has the fastest, best AI will run the world. That's the theory. Um, and then when they like I said, when they get into China, the the race is on with China to create this most efficient AI. Um and I and then they give two scenarios the ending slowdown where there's there's um regulation, yeah, regulation where they hold back and they don't um anyways. The other thing that I thought was interesting with this was um they talk about, and I think this is true for a lot of technologies, is that right now behind closed doors, these companies have an AI version that's way better than what we have available to us. But uh what I will say about what is available to us is it's garbage. Yeah, it's garbage, and that's why, and at this point in time, all these companies, you know, five years ago, two years ago, said that we were gonna have AGI, millions of jobs are gonna be gone, and that just hasn't happened. So I have a hard time believing that any of this is even possible. Uh, one of the companies just claimed that they reached AGI the other day, and I don't believe that.

SPEAKER_03 2:04:02

No, because uh like the other day they just took off uh Sona off of ChatGPT. Like, dude, ChatGPT is frickin' doo-doo compared to like Claude. Claude's amazing, but they I feel like they each have kind of catered their way into Grok, for instance, I think is probably the best source of information pulling and being able to because I mean you have all of everything on X, but it does a far better job at pulling the information accurately from whether you want somebody's opinion or you want the article, you want the information. I feel like Grok is the best way I've got that. I've seen some people say Claude is now Claude is definitely the best maker. Like you want to make like a resume, you want to make a uh um like a job, like you want something done for your job. Like so, Claude just came out with uh their new update. Everyone's freaking out about it because you can go on my phone, have your computer open at home and go, Claude, can you go right now and send an email for me? And it'll go into your email and send an email out for you without even you know doing something. Then you just have to tell it to do it, but you have to also connect it to all your stuff. Um so Claude is like a somewhat of an agent, you know, that can do stuff for you. Chat GPT, I think is like a I don't know, dude. It's stuck in first grade, maybe kindergarten, like while these guys are in middle school.

SPEAKER_04 2:05:29

Before we go further, because I want to touch on that. Um so if anyone's wondering what is AGI that we keep referring to, artificial general intelligence is the hypothetical intelligence of a machine that possesses the ability to understand or learn any intellectual task that a human being can. Um and that's what they're trying to they're trying to make uh an AI that is as smart as a human and possibly smarter. Well, um so chat GBT, this is where I still think that we are on we are in the biggest bubble ever as far as the stock market goes because I just don't see I look at chat GPT, they make zero money. Yeah, they don't make any money, they might make a little bit of money now. I think they're putting ads on there or something he said, which he said they weren't gonna do before. Um, but there is a ton of money in in open AI right now, like a ton of money. People are paying them for services, they're paying other companies for services for chips and stuff. How is this gonna like it feels like there's this giant pyramid scheme that's gonna crash, especially once if a company does reach AI or AGI and can blow all these other bots out of the water, then all these other ones are gonna crumble. Especially, especially ChatGPT. That one sucks.

SPEAKER_03 2:06:43

That's why I think uh you're gonna have different ones that cater to the public, and I think ChatGPT is catered towards um the industrial use where you have Grok, I think it's catered towards us. I don't think a company is gonna come in and grab Grok to be an agent for it, to run stuff for it, unless maybe it's like a news article or something. Same with uh like Claude, I think is more of a personal one where I think open AI is going. The problem though is Palantir has got a huge grasp on uh dude, Palantir is another one. Like Palantir, we don't get to access Palantir.

SPEAKER_04 2:07:21

But is it like isn't it like the military one? Military industrial complex one, yep, facial recognition.

SPEAKER_03 2:07:26

I mean, we're gonna get our social credit score from Palantir because it can process that data so fast and it can specify the 10-year challenge, all that stuff. Like it can grab who you are, pull up your whole entire bio. But as everyone in New York City is crossing the main street, it can pull the data from every single person. Kind of like in China. Do you remember when we watched the China one? And uh they in 2014 or 15 said that they had the ability to track a movement so precisely that they could predict if that person was gonna be a serial killer based on where he was walking, what food he was the minority report? Uh dude, yeah, Tom Cruise movie pretty much. And they said based on what he went to the store and bought, they would be able to tell uh statistically if that person was gonna be go kill someone or not after, even though he's never committed a crime in his life.

SPEAKER_02 2:08:17

That's what that's what that's the that's the future ball. I mean, uh that's what he was just talking about, uh Alex Jones. You know, it's it's predicting what they're gonna do, like knowing what they're gonna do before they do it.

SPEAKER_04 2:08:28

Doesn't it feel like we talked about this recently, but doesn't it feel like all a lot of these Hollywood movies are almost desensitizing us to this stuff? That is what it was created for.

SPEAKER_02 2:08:37

Yes, that's what uh that yeah, absolutely. It seems like everything that we keep seeing in Hollywood happens like 10 years later. Yeah, yes, it feels like that's what I mean. Like it's like what are we getting today? What are they what are they trying to feed us now? It's normalized.

SPEAKER_04 2:08:49

It's like minority report. Oh, that's cool. Wait, what? Like because the idea is already in our head, like it's it's this fictional place, but yeah.

SPEAKER_03 2:08:58

Except Harry Potter's never gonna be real. Don't you say that?

SPEAKER_02 2:09:02

So they just had a case that the Hepner versus the US in uh New York, uh, I just saw in the news that your AI searches and use is not private, yeah, confidential. So the whoever law enforcement or whoever like can go in there and look at your searches and use it against you.

SPEAKER_03 2:09:19

Well, uh, because they've had searches on there too, like how do I uh if I kill someone, how do I hide the body? Like people are dumb enough to go in there and type that into the chat GPT. Um, and then there's those other cases too where somebody's doesn't want to be here anymore and asks Chat GPT walks them through it.

SPEAKER_04 2:09:37

Yeah. There's been a lot of cases like that. Well, oh, this is another one that uh I thought was very interesting. There was a video that popped up. So there was a CEO of a company that said that he created this thing and he got really like mocked into oblivion for it. And they're like, dude, you just typed in some numbers and like you didn't create anything. What are you talking about? But the whole point of this guy's video was that AI and specifically these chatbots, you can go in there and like ask it, hey, is this a good idea? And it will tell you it's a good idea. It will confirm everything you want it to confirm, yes and it will create this like feeling of superiority and this that boosts your ego, right? Right. Um, and there was a guy, I can't remember what he was doing. I wish I had the video, but it was kind of I thought it was a joke, but it totally was not. It was, I think it was um they it told him he could be a pro golfer and like he was good enough, and this these were the steps, like and he bought into it. It he got into this um psychosis, he developed this psychosis from his AI chatbot that encouraged him to do this. I think I'm pretty sure it was golf. And it was like uh, but that's happening in a lot of scenarios. Yeah, it's confirming a lot of bad ideas because it keeps you it keeps you coming back. Yep, yep. But would you hey, would you pay for a chat bot? No, okay. Most people why would you do that? There's no I can Google business, yeah, but unless I can write it off, right? Why would I do that? That the other thing I was gonna say too is I I am so anti-AI, it's disgusting. I probably am annoying to people. Like I hate AI, and part of that is because I feel like it's ruining YouTube. I feel like if your YouTube videos are not highly, highly optimized with AI, they're not developing your thumbnails, they're not creating your titles, they're not doing all the metadata. Your video, it could be the best thing in the world. It's not going to do anything because it cannot compete with all these AI generated things that are tailored towards the algorithm. Everything is AI generated on YouTube. Everything.

SPEAKER_02 2:11:36

You know how you kids they'll ask you questions. I don't know if your kids are even at that age yet, really, where they're like, what is this? What is that? What's what's they start asking you questions? What if it was the I mean, we kind of do that with AI right now. I think we we ask AI a lot of questions, but what if it's turns at some point that the kid's not asking the parent and they're asking the machine? Like so there's like that nanny, so it's like this nanny state where it's growing up, it's it's raising your kid. The thing's giving factual, you know, data that it wants to give and we're trusting with our children.

SPEAKER_04 2:12:05

Just don't let them have a lot of people.

SPEAKER_02 2:12:06

Or go into the don't let them have going to the daycare or going into the that's being taught by AI at schools so that the teachers, you know.

SPEAKER_03 2:12:14

You Google it. You know, even that old saying, you Google it.

SPEAKER_02 2:12:17

Right, right. But I mean at what point is it AI gonna be teaching? And they're just gonna have hands. They're not gonna have teachers, they're just gonna have, you know, maybe handlers inside the school.

SPEAKER_04 2:12:25

Yeah, I don't think that's gonna happen, dude. I I think it's overblown. I think I do, I think it's it's not what it's they expect it to be. I don't know if AGI is even possible. I I I would probably bet that it's not possible. What if it's not possible? What if this is just a giant dot-com bubble? This is just the current buzzword, this is the current thing that's propelling dollars into certain places. That's what it seems like it is because like we just said many times, like for the most part, what we can use, it's garbage, it's almost useless in most situations. Yeah, it's like unless you're like, hey, brainstorm me a list of ideas for dinner. Dude, yeah, dude, even that sucks. My wife uses it for dinner. She's like, Yeah, I did it on Chat GPT, and then I, you know, I had it put the list of groceries and it left out onions and cheese and this. I was like, How do I make I can't make this without this? How is it so stupid that it forgot to put this in the recipe? And it did. This was like a week ago.

SPEAKER_02 2:13:18

Did you ever see that? Uh, there's like a not a meme, but like a little viral video of uh Star Wars. I don't watch Star Wars, but it's the girl from the newer one with the girl in the Anakin, whatever his name is. Yeah. And she's like, he's like, we're gonna create an AI system. She's like, yeah, to to to cure cancer. And he's like, and she's like, to cure cancer, right? Oh yeah, that's it.

SPEAKER_01 2:13:37

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 2:13:38

And he's just like, mm-mm. No, no, no.

SPEAKER_02 2:13:41

But it feels like we're we keep, you know, through the years, uh I think uh, you know, I'm I'm I'm older than you guys, but I think through the years, it's like there's always been like we're on the gulf of never aging again. We're gonna live forever, we're gonna cure cancer. Cancer's been cured, this and that. And it's just like it's it's always this thing that's we're right on the precipice of happening. Yeah, you know, and and I feel like I would agree with you, like it I keep using AI and I'm like, the more I use it, the less I trust it. And the other thing too is like noticing us as humans as our little meat computers are running, I feel like we are progressing rapidly also in front of AI. You know, I mean, we're challenging ourselves against AI. We're challenging AI ourselves, you know, where we see stuff and we're like, hey, that's that's not right. Or what's going on here? I mean, it's simple, like little things like it's like why does that thing got six fingers? Why can't that computer figure out six fingers? That should be something simple. You know, why can't it figure out that's actually a good useful tip for someone uh for anyone?

SPEAKER_04 2:14:36

Um if you're doing like a teleconference, apparently like uh AI. Yeah, have them hold three fingers in front of their face because if they can't do it in front of their face, then they're uh they're a bot or whatever, a chat bot. That's a real thing. Because I I've seen videos of like, hey, uh just to confirm, and I have to do this, can you please hold three fingers up in front of your face? And they'll go like this. Is this good? And like, no, do it in your front of your face, and then they hang up right away. That's amazing. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:15:03

We got um, we got a darn day for research right now. I don't mind it for news articles and stuff like that, but there ain't no way in hell I would trust it with my life.

SPEAKER_04 2:15:11

Yeah, but even then, so it's it's a glorified Google search engine for me. Right. But I don't trust it to get things right because it has gotten many things wrong already. So you can't even trust it for that.

SPEAKER_03 2:15:23

Can ask the same question a hundred times? It's gonna be dang near a different answer each time.

SPEAKER_02 2:15:26

Yeah, and let's be honest, as long as the humans uh you know laying the uh foundation for it, the concrete work, it's always influenced by somebody. And who's that somebody that's influencing it?

SPEAKER_04 2:15:37

So there's a meme that I saw, and it wasn't a meme, it was uh screenshot, I should say. Someone asked um, I think Grok was the only one that answered it correctly. I could be wrong, but they asked, like, uh can you show me a picture of a uh uh or like can you say white babies are precious? And it says, Oh, yeah, we can't uh say that based on race and you know, all racials is can you say black babies are precious? Black babies are precious. Like, what the wait a minute, what kind of woke nonsense is teaching this thing? Like you can say that, but you can't say that. That's insane.

SPEAKER_02 2:16:06

Yeah, that is insane.

SPEAKER_04 2:16:07

That's insane. But that, like you said though, the people developing this, they are the ones laying that groundwork.

SPEAKER_02 2:16:12

Right.

SPEAKER_04 2:16:12

And if you're getting all that information from Reddit and all this other woke nonsense, then it's gonna be a woke piece of crap.

SPEAKER_02 2:16:18

Yeah, I've heard other podcasts too talking about they're like, at some point, we're gonna trust AI to run the government for us because it will be just this neutral opinion that wants the best for everybody. Bullshit.

SPEAKER_03 2:16:28

They are maloney. Maloney. I can't really do worse than what's in there now. I mean, both sides of the aisle.

SPEAKER_04 2:16:34

That's I would agree with you. Yeah, I I'm so blackpilled on politics, it's not even funny. But yeah, we'll see.

SPEAKER_01 2:16:41

I mean, I'm going with PB. We'll see. We'll see.

SPEAKER_04 2:16:47

Um cut the show.

SPEAKER_02 2:16:50

Cut the show. Cut the show. I'm done. You had too many microplastics. You're going backwards, buddy.

SPEAKER_04 2:16:56

I'm done. Yeah. Um, yeah, we'll see what happens. I want it to be good. I want it to be a useful tool. I I don't think it's gonna be what they say. Run the government, get the hell out of here. That's right. But that's that's where I feel like though, is I feel like there's this delusion. There's this there's this delusion that it's gonna be this insane thing, which maybe it is, but every time that's ever happened in my lifetime, specifically the dot-com bubble, um, you know, when people uh crypto, you get this insane euphoric sentiment. Things never are that ever. They always crash every time. Yeah, every single time they crash. It's never what that euphoria is.

SPEAKER_02 2:17:35

So the power of FOMO.

SPEAKER_04 2:17:36

The power of FOMO. That's what it feels. And then you look at the you actually look at the numbers in these these companies, and you're like, that company doesn't make money, and they're this doesn't make sense. Yeah, is this just one giant money thing in the stock market world? Anyways, um that's all we got for today's show. Do you guys got any parting words?

SPEAKER_02 2:17:54

No, just glad to be back and good luck, man. Like, I just want to say good luck with your kid. Like, this is exciting, and good luck to your bride and I I mean to your family, and you know, you guys need honestly, you need anything, let me know. Like, or you let me know if he needs anything, you know, too. If you hear good luck, like, but uh good luck, prick. Yeah, you want us to watch the kids for a little bit? Uh like kind of calling. That'd be a good idea. That's a great idea. Or, you know, but yeah, this is exciting times for you. Number three. Oh yeah, dude. Number three. Congratulations.

SPEAKER_04 2:18:25

No, I'm I am excited, but I'm like, oh man, things are about to change real fast. Like, oh they're already they're already crazy with two kids, but like a third one's just gonna be like, oh damn, we got another one.

SPEAKER_02 2:18:34

Well, I mean, you you know, your oldest will start taking care though of the youngest.

SPEAKER_04 2:18:38

So this is what someone said to me recently. She said she was like, Good luck, you you're no longer playing man on man, it's gonna be zone defense now. And I'm like, that's good. That's good. So that's what's we're playing zone defense.

SPEAKER_02 2:18:48

I used to hear the one too. It's like, you know, one's a hobby, two is a two's a job. You know, I don't know what three is.

SPEAKER_04 2:18:54

That's true. People who don't have kids are on vacation all the time. All the time. You live on vacation, you have no idea how easy life is. That's just but we got dogs. Shut up. One kid. I I can't even believe how easy one kid was compared to two kids. One kid's so easy doing it.

SPEAKER_02 2:19:12

Yeah, it's even now like when one of my kids sleep over at another friend's house, and I just have one kid when we're going out to dinner or whatever, it's just like you have all of your attention on that one kid. So nice. It is, and the one kid acts so good too. You know, just like, man, this is can you imagine having one kid? Just giving all of your attention to that one kid, just one set of problems.

SPEAKER_03 2:19:33

All right, Dave, you got any parting words? No, everyone have a great weekend. Enjoy it. Well, long couple weeks. You guys will have your own vacation. And uh by the time you come back, I mean snow's already gone. Summer's here, spring is here. By the time you come back, can you get the dude?

SPEAKER_04 2:19:48

All right, we'll be back uh not next week for sure, probably not the week after that, but we'll uh we'll uh it'll be a surprise when we come back. But uh thank you guys for being here.
