Smurf hormones, billionaire breakups, AI therapy, and wagon wheel watusi.
This week, Travis and Emma are diving deep into the weird, the wild, and the wildly unhinged- from pregnancy side effects turning toilet seats blue to Elon Musk’s chaotic spiral into MAGA meltdown territory.
Emma shares a hilariously alarming pregnancy symptom that leads to an unexpected ChatGPT diagnosis.
Travis unpacks the unravelling bromance between Elon Musk and Donald Trump…and he couldn’t help but wonder, was the Tesla titan’s political gamble worth it?
The besties commiserate over expensive notebooks, AI addiction, and the uncanny valley of our tech-obsessed world. Are we losing our ability to think for ourselves?
They rant about HOA lawn tyranny, the environmental crimes of grass, and dream of clover-covered fairy lawns.
Finally, they drag the plot holes in Burlesque and question why Cher needed to scream “wagon wheel watusi” to carry the plot.
Whether you’re here for laughs, late-stage capitalism takedowns, or just a little bestie wisdom, this one’s for you.
✨ Highlights:
• A toilet seat pregnancy reveal?!
• Elon vs. Donnie: The billion-dollar feud
• The $105 notebook no one asked for (but Travis needs)
• AI girlfriends, grocery lists, and the ChatGPT therapy dilemma
• A passionate plea to dethrone HOA-mandated grass

00:00:07.899 --> 00:00:12.560
Hi, I'm Travis. And I'm Emma. And this is Bestie
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:16.179
Approved. What's the last song you listened to?
00:00:16.300 --> 00:00:17.960
I was literally about to ask you that. I was
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:21.460
going to find it. Mine was Check Yes Juliet by
00:00:21.460 --> 00:00:25.760
We The Kings. That was a good one. Yeah. Mine
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:31.319
was Lift You Up by Jessie Ware and Romy. Something
00:00:31.319 --> 00:00:37.700
dancey. How are we doing? What are we doing?
00:00:38.179 --> 00:00:40.600
What are we doing? You tell me. What's on your
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.679
mind today? So tomorrow, I'll be 14 weeks pregnant.
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:49.840
How's that going? And honestly, it's fine. Like,
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:54.700
I'm fine, right? But my gums are swollen, and
00:00:54.700 --> 00:00:59.130
we had an incident. With the toilet seat. Okay,
00:00:59.270 --> 00:01:07.170
so here's the deal. I was getting ready this
00:01:07.170 --> 00:01:12.349
past weekend and I go to go pee as one does.
00:01:12.849 --> 00:01:19.650
And I noticed that where one would sit on my
00:01:19.650 --> 00:01:24.640
toilet seat. is blue and I know it can't have
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:28.760
been blue for very long because I clean every
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:30.959
room in the house gets cleaned once a week so
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:35.439
like it hasn't been that long but I was just
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.599
dumbfounded because like I couldn't wipe it off
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:41.459
because I was thinking maybe like we got new
00:01:41.459 --> 00:01:44.780
pants and like the dye stuck to our skin which
00:01:44.780 --> 00:01:48.420
stuck to the toilet seat that was my initial
00:01:48.420 --> 00:01:51.739
hypothesis but then i couldn't wipe it off and
00:01:51.739 --> 00:01:53.900
that like washes off really easily typically
00:01:53.900 --> 00:02:00.900
so against my better judgment i resort to the
00:02:00.900 --> 00:02:03.219
chat gpt because you can't just look up blue
00:02:03.219 --> 00:02:05.959
toilet seat it's gonna just try to sell you blue
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:11.150
toilet seat right anyway so i'm like Hi, ChatGPT,
00:02:11.189 --> 00:02:15.069
my toilet seat is blue. What could that possibly
00:02:15.069 --> 00:02:21.250
be from? It's turning blue. And it said, a toilet
00:02:21.250 --> 00:02:24.610
seat turning blue, especially mysteriously such
00:02:24.610 --> 00:02:28.430
as this, can definitely be surprising. Here are
00:02:28.430 --> 00:02:31.889
the most common explanations and number one,
00:02:32.050 --> 00:02:38.210
number one on the list. hormones especially during
00:02:38.210 --> 00:02:43.469
pregnancy what it says this is the most common
00:02:43.469 --> 00:02:49.530
and well -documented reason what what what what
00:02:49.530 --> 00:02:52.629
what it says something about increased hormone
00:02:52.629 --> 00:02:55.550
levels react with certain materials in the toilet
00:02:55.550 --> 00:02:59.349
seat that cause it to turn blue or purple it's
00:02:59.349 --> 00:03:04.580
sometimes called chrome hydrosis when sweat reacts
00:03:04.580 --> 00:03:07.939
with surfaces and can cause color changes what
00:03:07.939 --> 00:03:10.860
in the Can you imagine if that's how you found
00:03:10.860 --> 00:03:12.379
out you were pregnant, though? Like, if you didn't
00:03:12.379 --> 00:03:14.419
already know, and, like, you just Googled, why
00:03:14.419 --> 00:03:16.439
is the toilet seat blue? You're just like, everywhere
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:19.599
I go, I'm leaving a blue toilet seat. I'm a smurf.
00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:22.400
Can you imagine? What if we were still working
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.780
in our old office where, like, all the girls
00:03:24.780 --> 00:03:26.900
shared a bathroom and all the boys shared a bathroom,
00:03:27.020 --> 00:03:29.639
and one day someone's like, why the fuck is the
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:31.560
toilet seat blue? Oh, my God. And I have to be
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:37.110
like, oh, my God. Anyway, so. Basically, I've
00:03:37.110 --> 00:03:40.370
turned into a Martian because my sense of smell
00:03:40.370 --> 00:03:44.710
is something out of a comic book. Like I'm a
00:03:44.710 --> 00:03:49.530
superhero and I'm turning shit blue. So that's
00:03:49.530 --> 00:03:53.189
where we are in pregnancy. I'm so happy to be
00:03:53.189 --> 00:03:56.889
here with you. My God. It makes me so happy.
00:03:57.949 --> 00:04:00.789
So you and I have an obsession with notebooks,
00:04:01.050 --> 00:04:04.099
right? Yeah, you really have an obsession with
00:04:04.099 --> 00:04:08.280
all things... School supplies. Stationery. Yeah,
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.280
anything you can find in an office depot. So,
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.780
do you ever do the thing where you buy a notebook
00:04:14.780 --> 00:04:17.959
because you have this, like, vision of who you
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:22.680
want to be? Literally, no. Seriously? No, no.
00:04:22.860 --> 00:04:28.980
I get off, like, I would actually come to...
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.980
finishing off a notebook and so i have notebooks
00:04:32.980 --> 00:04:35.980
that have been because i also do this thing where
00:04:35.980 --> 00:04:38.699
i buy like 13 notebooks at a time it's a problem
00:04:38.699 --> 00:04:42.120
okay like when i buy notebooks i buy 50 of them
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:46.899
right but i i still have some laying around from
00:04:46.899 --> 00:04:50.040
probably five years ago because it's not done
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.259
until like it's full and i'll just fill it with
00:04:53.259 --> 00:04:55.680
anything i'm one of those people that gets like
00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:00.420
super dramatic and will like schedule what my
00:05:00.420 --> 00:05:03.360
day should look like every single day like with
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:06.899
time stamps and everything and so I'll like have
00:05:06.899 --> 00:05:11.819
a million of iterations of those and I'll like
00:05:11.819 --> 00:05:14.339
journal I'll do this I'll do that it's like very
00:05:14.339 --> 00:05:16.519
incoherent I hope no one ever finds my notebooks
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:22.279
ever sure but no I don't I I love the idea of
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:24.439
those notebooks that are like just the dots.
00:05:24.660 --> 00:05:26.620
People were doing those forever. What are those
00:05:26.620 --> 00:05:29.060
called? Those are bullet journal. Yeah. I love
00:05:29.060 --> 00:05:33.879
those. If I were an organized lass, I would have
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.480
a bullet journal. And I think they're beautiful
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.800
and people are really creative with them. And
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.100
I like the idea, but I just don't, I don't have
00:05:43.100 --> 00:05:47.620
it in me. So I get, um. emails because I signed
00:05:47.620 --> 00:05:50.620
up for the email list from the stationery company
00:05:50.620 --> 00:05:56.079
on TikTok called Bungu and there's this notebook
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.459
that they sent me and it's it's just a notebook
00:05:59.459 --> 00:06:03.259
it's like it's fine it's $105 and I want it so
00:06:03.259 --> 00:06:12.959
bad $105 is it 5 ,000 pages um it's 700 and 700
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:18.399
something let me see It's 730 pages. It is a
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:23.519
two -year notebook. What in the fuck makes it
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:27.279
$105? The aesthetic, I think. Bungie, please
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:31.319
sponsor the podcast. You're paying north of a
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:37.589
dollar a page, mama. What? You're paying more
00:06:37.589 --> 00:06:42.449
than a dollar per page in the notebook. No, you're
00:06:42.449 --> 00:06:46.829
not. Yes, you are. It's 70 pages and $100. 700
00:06:46.829 --> 00:06:55.230
pages. Did I say 70? No. Pregnancy brain. Okay,
00:06:55.329 --> 00:06:58.329
now we know. Okay, I feel a lot better, but not
00:06:58.329 --> 00:07:03.879

if you don't sponsor the podcast so i spent last
00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:27.180

00:07:33.769 --> 00:07:36.889
online as i always do oh i didn't at all right
00:07:36.889 --> 00:07:40.350
um i went home and i started editing the podcast
00:07:40.350 --> 00:07:45.230
and i went to bed i woke up the next morning
00:07:45.230 --> 00:07:47.230
and i found out the girls were fighting which
00:07:47.230 --> 00:07:50.730
sparked a new series that i would like to call
00:07:50.730 --> 00:07:54.480
mama let's research Because I went down a deep
00:07:54.480 --> 00:08:00.139
rabbit hole of the Donald Trump, Elon Musk timeline
00:08:00.139 --> 00:08:09.939
of their feud. So Friday, May 30th. So the Friday
00:08:09.939 --> 00:08:13.819
before last week was Elon Musk's final day as
00:08:13.819 --> 00:08:16.819
a special government employee at Doge because
00:08:16.819 --> 00:08:21.300
he wanted to find fraud, waste and abuse that.
00:08:21.870 --> 00:08:24.990
He promised to save, what, like $20 billion,
00:08:25.129 --> 00:08:31.490
and we got nothing out of it. It's fine. They
00:08:31.490 --> 00:08:34.370
have a press conference. Donald Trump is talking
00:08:34.370 --> 00:08:37.690
about how Elon Musk's a genius and how the work
00:08:37.690 --> 00:08:43.129
of Doge will continue. He gave Elon Musk a key,
00:08:43.269 --> 00:08:45.769
and it's a gift that he reserves for, quote,
00:08:45.769 --> 00:08:48.590
very special people, and Elon Musk said it was
00:08:48.590 --> 00:08:50.509
amazing. It was compliments, compliments, compliments.
00:08:51.769 --> 00:08:54.429
Trump said that Doge employees are geniuses and
00:08:54.429 --> 00:08:56.190
everything is great and they're best friends.
00:08:56.269 --> 00:08:59.649
They're happy. I don't know where Elon Musk goes,
00:08:59.710 --> 00:09:03.090
but he leaves the White House. He's not a government
00:09:03.090 --> 00:09:07.610
employee anymore. He proceeds to take to Twitter
00:09:07.610 --> 00:09:10.909
where he calls the great big beautiful bill an
00:09:10.909 --> 00:09:16.490
abomination. And to be fair to Elon Musk, his
00:09:16.490 --> 00:09:18.509
whole thing was like, we're going to cut government
00:09:18.509 --> 00:09:22.700
spending. big, beautiful bill is going to add
00:09:22.700 --> 00:09:26.360
$2 .4 trillion to the deficit. So I get that.
00:09:26.500 --> 00:09:30.980
And Moody's was the last holdout for the United
00:09:30.980 --> 00:09:35.200
States perfect credit rating. And back in May,
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:38.480
they downgraded our credit. Can I just ask a
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:43.360
question? What the fuck was his title? What gave
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:47.299
him the right to be in the White House? a part
00:09:47.299 --> 00:09:50.379
of he was basically a part of the cabinet like
00:09:50.379 --> 00:09:53.799
i'm so confused that is a great question that
00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:57.019
no one's really been able to answer for me did
00:09:57.019 --> 00:10:02.639
he just decide one day i am a billionaire i am
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:05.639
in charge of all of these things and so now it's
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:07.919
my turn to go in the white house ring -a -ling
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:12.200
-ling donnie please let me in there under the
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:14.879
guise of cutting spending like what and also
00:10:15.909 --> 00:10:18.090
Didn't we get confirmation that he was on ketamine
00:10:18.090 --> 00:10:19.850
the whole time? Like he was fucked up the whole
00:10:19.850 --> 00:10:22.590
time he was there. I mean, he said that he was
00:10:22.590 --> 00:10:26.389
taking ketamine. Yes. Yeah. So he was tranquilized.
00:10:26.710 --> 00:10:29.950
Take ketamine. I don't care. I am all for. Let
00:10:29.950 --> 00:10:32.570
me just put it on the record. I'm all for a little
00:10:32.570 --> 00:10:35.350
ketamine drip. Don't get me wrong. Don't get
00:10:35.350 --> 00:10:38.070
me wrong. Right. But also, do I think you need
00:10:38.070 --> 00:10:41.190
to be in the White House in your K -hole? I think
00:10:41.190 --> 00:10:45.470
you need to be at the club. Or in the safety
00:10:45.470 --> 00:10:48.450
of your home. Maybe. Or at the doctor's office.
00:10:48.909 --> 00:10:52.450
Anywhere without cameras? Really? Probably. Somewhere
00:10:52.450 --> 00:10:56.409
safe. Oh, my God. He donated, what, $300 million
00:10:56.409 --> 00:10:59.269
to Trump's campaign, and that's what gave him
00:10:59.269 --> 00:11:01.809
the authority to be a special government employee.
00:11:01.950 --> 00:11:06.210
That's fine. Oh, I'm so happy. Okay. So, calls
00:11:06.210 --> 00:11:08.450
the, or tweets that the Great Big Beautiful Bill
00:11:08.450 --> 00:11:11.279
is a disgusting abomination. Elon Musk, the spending
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:15.360
bill contains the largest increase in the debt
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:17.080
ceiling in U .S. history. It is the debt slavery
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:21.500
bill. And then the U .S. Joint Economic Committee
00:11:21.500 --> 00:11:26.059
reports that the total gross national debt as
00:11:26.059 --> 00:11:31.279
of June 4th was $36 .21 trillion, which is a
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:34.159
$1 .5 trillion year -over -year increase and
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:37.419
a $10 .29 trillion increase from five years ago.
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:40.799
There's a lot going on there as far as debt goes.
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:45.360
And then the following day, Elon Musk wakes up
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.799
and he's just, he's having a time. He chooses
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:51.000
violence. So he starts digging up old tweets
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.240
from Donald Trump talking about like how the
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:55.019
government's spending money and he's like using
00:11:55.019 --> 00:11:56.679
it as like receipts. Like, oh, I couldn't agree
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:59.019
more, Donald. Like, what's good? Like, what are
00:11:59.019 --> 00:12:03.120
we doing? And then... Donald Trump responds at
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.320
this press conference that he's at saying it's
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.200
some sort of Trump derangement syndrome and that
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:11.259
Elon Musk woke up one morning and the glamour
00:12:11.259 --> 00:12:13.940
was gone. And like that says to me like, oh,
00:12:13.940 --> 00:12:16.000
you believe that being in the Trump administration
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:24.379
is glamorous and that's fine. I hate to polarize
00:12:24.379 --> 00:12:27.879
our crowd here. But yeah, if you support Donald
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:30.419
Trump in any way, shape, or form, I would argue
00:12:30.419 --> 00:12:35.200
you are delusional and under the guise of a cult.
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.759
But anyway. So then, Trump says that Elon Musk
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.179
knew about everything in the bill from the very
00:12:43.179 --> 00:12:45.879
beginning. and Elon Musk comes back and says
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:48.440
this is false, which is, I know it's a stretch
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:49.840
to think that Donald Trump could say anything
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:52.580
false, but here we go. So Elon's little thumbs
00:12:52.580 --> 00:12:55.139
get right to work, and he starts unloading tweets
00:12:55.139 --> 00:12:59.379
directed at Trump. So the exact quote was, without
00:12:59.379 --> 00:13:02.000
me, Trump would have lost the election, Democrats
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:03.919
would control the House, and Republicans would
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:08.940
be 51 -49 in the Senate. And then, an hour later,
00:13:09.529 --> 00:13:12.110
He tweets the infamous tweet alleging that the
00:13:12.110 --> 00:13:14.610
real reason the Epstein files haven't been released
00:13:14.610 --> 00:13:17.470
is because Trump's name shows up on them. Which
00:13:17.470 --> 00:13:21.070
we already knew. I was so confused by that. We
00:13:21.070 --> 00:13:24.789
already knew that. They were friends. We have
00:13:24.789 --> 00:13:27.490
pictures of him with the man himself. We have
00:13:27.490 --> 00:13:30.730
pictures of him with Maxine. We have pictures.
00:13:30.809 --> 00:13:33.169
We've had pictures of the flight logs. Who's
00:13:33.169 --> 00:13:39.120
Maxine? Ghislaine. Ghislaine Maxwell. My brain's
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:42.960
doing funny things today. My brain is like close
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:46.919
enough to anything. You can convince me of anything
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.639
today. That's actually hilarious. I guess he
00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:51.059
regretted saying that because then he starts.
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:53.940
feeling nostalgic about his time with his best
00:13:53.940 --> 00:13:56.799
friend he starts talking about or he starts responding
00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:59.720
to tweets that say this is a shame you guys are
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:01.879
better than this like and he's like oh no i couldn't
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.259
agree more and like he starts kind of rolling
00:14:05.259 --> 00:14:08.600
back some of what he said and then what's her
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:12.779
face laura loomer says to elon musk like a parent
00:14:12.779 --> 00:14:14.759
who's like trying to get two kids to apologize
00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:17.100
to each other please tweet something nice about
00:14:17.100 --> 00:14:21.019
trump tonight oh please and the way that you
00:14:21.019 --> 00:14:23.360
gunned to my head you couldn't get me to tweet
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:26.679
that like in public i i that that was a wild
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:30.799
thing to say but like mind you the man owns twitter
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:34.220
and you're telling him please tweet but like
00:14:34.220 --> 00:14:37.799
can you imagine being like being laura loomer
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:41.519
and like deciding i'm the one to broker peace
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:44.700
between donald trump and elon musk like everyone
00:14:44.700 --> 00:14:47.879
in their little circle has a god complex like
00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:51.240
everyone yes that associates with them thinks
00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:54.779
that they are the almighty power and that they
00:14:54.779 --> 00:14:57.419
can control anyone and so yeah she thought she
00:14:57.419 --> 00:15:02.500
was mommy but if you ever want if you ever just
00:15:02.500 --> 00:15:05.360
need to have a time on twitter start scrolling
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:08.539
through some of the replies to those tweets because
00:15:08.539 --> 00:15:12.690
like it is the most toxic uncomfortable place
00:15:12.690 --> 00:15:14.490
i've ever been in my life to the point where
00:15:14.490 --> 00:15:17.909
like i started getting pushed tweets from like
00:15:17.909 --> 00:15:20.950
all right maga and i was like i don't i i'm gonna
00:15:20.950 --> 00:15:24.450
delete no yeah they're deluded and they're crazy
00:15:24.450 --> 00:15:26.610
on twitter because they think no one can find
00:15:26.610 --> 00:15:29.049
out who they are it's the wild west yeah they
00:15:29.049 --> 00:15:35.669
are riding that dick for real it is insane anyway
00:15:35.669 --> 00:15:39.840
so Then Steve Bannon says that the federal government
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:42.639
should, quote, initiate a formal investigation
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:45.559
of Elon Musk's immigration status, because that's
00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:47.240
what we need to make this about right now. Like,
00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:52.419
this is going to speak to a point that I have
00:15:52.419 --> 00:15:56.080
in a minute. So the next day, Donald Trump says
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.519
he isn't thinking about Elon Musk. He's letting
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:04.759
us know that. Great. it's so toxic x yeah girl
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:07.139
i'm not even thinking about him today i haven't
00:16:07.139 --> 00:16:09.299
even thought about him today and then later that
00:16:09.299 --> 00:16:11.220
day on air force one he reminds us that he's
00:16:11.220 --> 00:16:17.000
not thinking about i hope he does well with tesla
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:20.960
oh my god and then he decides he's getting rid
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:23.620
of his tesla that he was gifted on the front
00:16:23.620 --> 00:16:26.440
lawn of the white house oh i forgot about that
00:16:27.289 --> 00:16:31.110
I just, I cannot. Like, it's so Pride Month.
00:16:31.409 --> 00:16:34.309
It's so, oh. So he's getting rid of the Tesla
00:16:34.309 --> 00:16:37.289
that he was gifted on the front lawn. Elon Musk
00:16:37.289 --> 00:16:39.470
goes and he deletes a bunch of the tweets. And
00:16:39.470 --> 00:16:42.730
then Trump says he has no desire to fix the relationship.
00:16:43.490 --> 00:16:49.429
Fine. Great. MAGA gets involved, though. And
00:16:49.429 --> 00:16:52.889
you know how they talk about constantly, like,
00:16:52.990 --> 00:16:56.340
the left is trying to. project their gender ideologies
00:16:56.340 --> 00:16:58.940
on everything so jesse waters is talking about
00:16:58.940 --> 00:17:01.179
this is how men fight you do this and then you
00:17:01.179 --> 00:17:03.080
go have sex with your girlfriend after that what's
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:05.900
the big deal and then you've got some of the
00:17:05.900 --> 00:17:09.180
worst people on god's green earth talking about
00:17:09.180 --> 00:17:12.180
how some of you guys can't handle two high agency
00:17:12.180 --> 00:17:15.960
males going at it and it really shows and this
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.619
is a direct wait this is direct communication
00:17:18.619 --> 00:17:22.069
it's fallow centric Versus indirect communication,
00:17:22.289 --> 00:17:25.029
which is gynocentric. I understand you all aren't
00:17:25.029 --> 00:17:29.089
used to it. And then another one says Trump and
00:17:29.089 --> 00:17:30.990
Elon aren't attacking one another in a way that
00:17:30.990 --> 00:17:34.309
can't be fixed. People forget how men with testicles
00:17:34.309 --> 00:17:36.710
spar. You two are watching people with balls
00:17:36.710 --> 00:17:38.950
the size of the moon debate an issue. This is
00:17:38.950 --> 00:17:42.650
what masculinity looks like. I do not understand
00:17:42.650 --> 00:17:47.089
that at all. What do you mean? It's straight
00:17:47.089 --> 00:17:52.309
white male to be petty online and tweet at each
00:17:52.309 --> 00:17:56.650
other. What do you mean? I don't for the life
00:17:56.650 --> 00:18:00.589
of me understand how. I don't understand why
00:18:00.589 --> 00:18:03.349
gender got brought into it. That's beyond me.
00:18:03.630 --> 00:18:06.250
But is it because everyone was calling them gay?
00:18:07.930 --> 00:18:11.630
I don't think so. I don't know. But like, that's
00:18:11.630 --> 00:18:13.289
the only reason I can think of that they were.
00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:16.559
I just don't get it. I don't get it. I don't
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:20.099
get it. I don't get it. Did you see, while we're
00:18:20.099 --> 00:18:23.180
on this, did you see the tweet? It was like the
00:18:23.180 --> 00:18:26.160
video of Donald Trump tripping on the stairs
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:29.000
on the way onto Air Force One. After Donald Trump
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:34.259
made one of his campaign... Yes! well joe biden
00:18:34.259 --> 00:18:36.380
tripped going up the stairs i thought the same
00:18:36.380 --> 00:18:38.740
exact thing i was like he clowned joe biden for
00:18:38.740 --> 00:18:41.440
that but i saw this tweet that was that said
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:45.480
elon turned on his vibrator i did see that but
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:49.259
that is god punishing you for your bad doing
00:18:49.259 --> 00:18:53.380
your sins yeah how are you gonna make fun of
00:18:53.380 --> 00:18:56.299
sleepy joe for tripping on the stairs and then
00:18:56.299 --> 00:18:58.460
do the same exact thing and not even address
00:18:58.460 --> 00:19:03.420
it i can't The whole thing's a mess. And then
00:19:03.420 --> 00:19:07.359
the long and short of it is, is that Elon Musk
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.839
has taken a $34 billion hit to his personal net
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:14.480
worth, which coincidentally is also the GDP of
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:19.099
Iceland. Such a gross, gross thing. It's like,
00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:23.579
it would take a lot for me to feel bad for a
00:19:23.579 --> 00:19:28.000
billionaire. Like, a lot. Right. So my question
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:30.819
at the end of this for Elon Musk is, was it worth
00:19:30.819 --> 00:19:35.940
it? Because MAGA has turned on him. You've got
00:19:35.940 --> 00:19:38.900
far, far, far right who has turned on him. You've
00:19:38.900 --> 00:19:41.460
got the people that want him to make up who are
00:19:41.460 --> 00:19:44.220
saying, well, this is just how it goes. And that's
00:19:44.220 --> 00:19:46.819
a weird middle spot to be in. But it's like the
00:19:46.819 --> 00:19:51.019
people who supported you so deeply now hate you
00:19:51.019 --> 00:19:55.180
because you turned on. their deity, their God,
00:19:55.299 --> 00:19:57.200
whatever you want to call him, was it worth it?
00:19:57.299 --> 00:20:02.700
And to me, it's like you paid $300 million or
00:20:02.700 --> 00:20:05.980
whatever to this campaign, which immediately
00:20:05.980 --> 00:20:10.500
turned everyone with a social conscience against
00:20:10.500 --> 00:20:15.519
you. Every liberal or left -leaning person gave
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:19.480
up their Tesla, got a Rivian or whatever, right?
00:20:19.579 --> 00:20:24.579
And now who do you have? Right. You decided to
00:20:24.579 --> 00:20:28.220
subscribe yourself. You don't even have her.
00:20:28.660 --> 00:20:33.460
Oh, that you decided to subscribe yourself to
00:20:33.460 --> 00:20:38.339
the far right. And now that has gone to shit
00:20:38.339 --> 00:20:42.160
because you whatever. So now who do you have,
00:20:42.180 --> 00:20:46.980
Elon? Who is who is. coming for you it makes
00:20:46.980 --> 00:20:50.099
me think of that time he did a stream and everybody
00:20:50.099 --> 00:20:53.099
kept saying you have no friends you'll never
00:20:53.099 --> 00:20:56.480
have friends Can you imagine being bullied in
00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:00.339
your 50s? I can't. And when you have that much
00:21:00.339 --> 00:21:02.420
money, you could literally just fall off the
00:21:02.420 --> 00:21:04.799
face of the earth if you wanted to. But instead,
00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:07.559
you decide to be in the public eye, and now literally
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:10.220
everyone hates you on both sides of the fence.
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:14.319
Right. You could tell he was feeling bad for
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:16.160
himself that night, though, because he started
00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:19.140
retweeting every kind thing anyone had ever said
00:21:19.140 --> 00:21:22.500
about him. And the way that these people act
00:21:22.500 --> 00:21:26.720
like he is... actually a deity like they're like
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:28.960
he's here for the the sake of humanity you people
00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:32.839
don't understand the amount of gratuitous like
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:35.539
i love you i love you and then like but he was
00:21:35.539 --> 00:21:37.619
retweeting all that and i'm like like you could
00:21:37.619 --> 00:21:40.279
very clearly see he's he was in his feelings
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:42.880
in those moments but i'm like you people are
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:45.440
trying to make someone with 800 billion dollars
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:48.700
feel better like like do you not get it he can
00:21:48.700 --> 00:21:51.500
just check his bank account mama he'll feel fine
00:21:51.500 --> 00:21:56.349
he he lost the gdp of iceland and he's still
00:21:56.349 --> 00:21:59.369
a billionaire he'll be okay he will be a billionaire
00:21:59.369 --> 00:22:01.470
until the day he dies regardless of what he does
00:22:01.470 --> 00:22:04.549
there's literally nothing he could do that would
00:22:04.549 --> 00:22:07.170
take away the amount of money he has like it
00:22:07.170 --> 00:22:11.349
is such an unfathomable amount of wealth that
00:22:11.349 --> 00:22:15.630
he has that you you should see that it's stupid
00:22:15.630 --> 00:22:17.609
that he's in the public eye at all well that
00:22:17.609 --> 00:22:20.930
was the fucked up thing was like i when i was
00:22:20.930 --> 00:22:24.539
like doing research mama i was going down the
00:22:24.539 --> 00:22:27.160
rabbit hole and i was like these numbers can't
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:30.099
be right that's how that's how unfathomable the
00:22:30.099 --> 00:22:33.319
numbers were it is so insane and i don't think
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.880
the general population has a good idea of what
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:44.140
a billion looks like no it it's if you had a
00:22:44.140 --> 00:22:48.319
million dollars one thousand times like That
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:53.500
is such an unfathomable thing that like... How
00:22:53.500 --> 00:22:56.119
can you feel bad for this guy who's taking the
00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:59.779
mentality of they're being mean to me. Meanwhile,
00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:05.759
he owns Tesla. He owns SpaceX. He owns Twitter
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:08.099
on which you are seeing this. Can you imagine
00:23:08.099 --> 00:23:11.740
owning a fucking spaceship? Have you been recently
00:23:11.740 --> 00:23:15.599
to... Okay, my grandparents are snowbirds. So
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:19.289
they spend half the... year in florida and they
00:23:19.289 --> 00:23:22.589
live i don't know close to coco beach i'm not
00:23:22.589 --> 00:23:26.650
gonna dox them right they can see big planes
00:23:26.650 --> 00:23:29.809
taking off from port canaveral yes yes they they
00:23:29.809 --> 00:23:32.670
see the spaceship launches they like them they
00:23:32.670 --> 00:23:34.450
send me pictures of them all the time whatever
00:23:34.450 --> 00:23:39.009
okay i've i went to visit them last time i was
00:23:39.009 --> 00:23:42.809
in florida and i've driven by the spacex like
00:23:43.609 --> 00:23:47.250
compound whatever you want to call it it is insane
00:23:47.250 --> 00:23:51.690
like it's actually insane it's so humongous there
00:23:51.690 --> 00:23:54.890
are thousands of people working there probably
00:23:54.890 --> 00:23:58.130
hundreds whatever but so many people who are
00:23:58.130 --> 00:24:03.029
working there it is insane and that man owns
00:24:03.029 --> 00:24:07.150
all of that why would you ever feel bad for him
00:24:07.150 --> 00:24:10.990
that's the whole thing and it's like I think
00:24:10.990 --> 00:24:13.750
this is where we've come to as a big part of
00:24:13.750 --> 00:24:18.109
our society is you worship wealth. It's how the
00:24:18.109 --> 00:24:20.849
Kardashians are who they are. It's how Donald
00:24:20.849 --> 00:24:22.990
Trump got elected to be president because he's
00:24:22.990 --> 00:24:24.569
a billionaire, so he's got to be smart, right?
00:24:24.730 --> 00:24:29.150
That's the whole thing. And I'm like, when it
00:24:29.150 --> 00:24:31.670
comes to this whole thing of Elon Musk is here
00:24:31.670 --> 00:24:33.990
to save humanity, maybe, but you're hitching
00:24:33.990 --> 00:24:36.369
your horse to the wrong wagon, man. What are
00:24:36.369 --> 00:24:39.180
you doing? I can't believe that he's here to
00:24:39.180 --> 00:24:42.980
save humanity. The man has billions of dollars
00:24:42.980 --> 00:24:48.619
and is not fighting for world hunger to be resolved.
00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:52.839
He's not fighting for immigrants rights. He's
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:56.000
not fighting for... Anyone who's going through
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:59.140
strife or struggle, he's not doing that at all.
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:04.619
He decided to back up a guy who backs up racist
00:25:04.619 --> 00:25:10.759
white people. What? I just I don't I could never
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:14.319
feel bad for the man, you know, and I understand
00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:18.960
to some. extent seeing the kardashians seeing
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.079
any influencer really seeing the billionaires
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:26.359
and being like i want to be like them i want
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:29.339
to live that life because it looks so glamorous
00:25:29.339 --> 00:25:33.740
from where they're posting or where they're you
00:25:33.740 --> 00:25:37.079
know what's on tv and whatever but i do think
00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:42.539
we have genuinely lost as for some people a sense
00:25:42.539 --> 00:25:48.440
of reality and and like taking pieces from what
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:50.619
you see online or what you see from these people
00:25:50.619 --> 00:25:53.940
you idolize and integrating that into your life
00:25:53.940 --> 00:25:57.140
you are like now worshiping them like they're
00:25:57.140 --> 00:26:00.240
a god so that you can have a sliver of what they
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:04.420
have and i they want you to stay poor that's
00:26:04.420 --> 00:26:06.640
what you don't understand they don't want you
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:08.660
to be rich like them because then they're not
00:26:08.660 --> 00:26:16.059
special I mean, that's tea. I really think we've
00:26:16.059 --> 00:26:19.099
lost the plot a little bit there. I think the
00:26:19.099 --> 00:26:21.920
answer is no. It wasn't worth it for Elon Musk.
00:26:22.180 --> 00:26:27.680
I hope, I truly hope that maybe he can redeem
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:30.319
himself. I don't know. Maybe he can do something.
00:26:30.460 --> 00:26:32.799
But at the end of the day, I gotta tell you,
00:26:32.819 --> 00:26:36.440
man, I think that this will go down in history
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:40.950
as... The worst mistake anyone ever made. I think
00:26:40.950 --> 00:26:43.430
he's a clown. I think he should have never affiliated
00:26:43.430 --> 00:26:45.849
himself with politics. I was actually just talking
00:26:45.849 --> 00:26:49.950
about this last night. As a businessman, right?
00:26:50.710 --> 00:26:55.210
Why would you ever associate yourself with one
00:26:55.210 --> 00:26:57.650
political party? It feels like you're limiting
00:26:57.650 --> 00:27:01.309
your customer base for no reason. Because it's
00:27:01.309 --> 00:27:03.089
an incredibly short -sighted way of thinking
00:27:03.089 --> 00:27:07.789
where you... are thinking to yourself what can
00:27:07.789 --> 00:27:10.049
someone do for me for the next four years and
00:27:10.049 --> 00:27:11.990
then I'll pivot in four years that's that's what
00:27:11.990 --> 00:27:15.849
I think it is I get that like I do and I was
00:27:15.849 --> 00:27:17.450
talking I was talking to Kenny about it and he
00:27:17.450 --> 00:27:21.170
was like well when you really appeal to one group
00:27:21.170 --> 00:27:24.210
of people then they're like emphatic about your
00:27:24.210 --> 00:27:25.829
product they're telling their friends about it
00:27:25.829 --> 00:27:28.529
and then it's like a symbol of what you believe
00:27:28.529 --> 00:27:30.569
in whether that's right or not he wasn't like
00:27:30.569 --> 00:27:33.950
taking their side he was just playing devil's
00:27:33.950 --> 00:27:36.650
advocate kind of and and i and i do understand
00:27:36.650 --> 00:27:40.069
that and i can obviously i'm getting on this
00:27:40.069 --> 00:27:43.769
podcast and i'm saying like republicans need
00:27:43.769 --> 00:27:45.690
to get it together their ideas are wrong blah
00:27:45.690 --> 00:27:48.769
blah blah so like i am polarizing people too
00:27:48.769 --> 00:27:53.250
but but i just i'm not trying to sell cars right
00:27:53.250 --> 00:27:55.349
but the ugly other side of what kenny's talking
00:27:55.349 --> 00:28:00.019
about is um the the fact that like yeah they're
00:28:00.019 --> 00:28:03.119
they're so all in on you but the second you like
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:06.400
misstep they turn on you so quick well that's
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:09.259
what i'm saying liberals have already gotten
00:28:09.259 --> 00:28:13.640
rid of their teslas and now that the republican
00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:17.579
deity has denounced elon are the republicans
00:28:17.579 --> 00:28:21.480
gonna do that too so then who's buying them You
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:23.720
see what I mean? Right. Like it seems like such
00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:27.539
a silly thing to do to a brand for no reason.
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:30.920
And I've said this for years. Elon Musk is the
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:34.099
type of guy we were never supposed to know about.
00:28:34.299 --> 00:28:36.200
Oh, a million percent. I wholeheartedly believe
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:38.119
that he's like a mysterious figure that like
00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:42.279
people are like, who is that? It's like the Rothschilds
00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:45.180
is what I believe it should have been. I 100
00:28:45.180 --> 00:28:47.920
% agree. He should have been like the Rothschilds.
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:51.839
He should have been. like this incredible mind
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:55.099
that we never heard from right like he would
00:28:55.099 --> 00:28:59.119
have gone down in history as this guy who used
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:01.359
his family resources to make this incredible
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:04.619
new thing right the tesla and then spread his
00:29:04.619 --> 00:29:09.119
ideas and his people management whatever to spacex
00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:11.059
and all of that and he still would have gone
00:29:11.059 --> 00:29:13.579
down in history so i i just don't understand
00:29:13.579 --> 00:29:17.339
why He decided to be in the public eye at all.
00:29:17.460 --> 00:29:19.960
I just feel like he should have been this mysterious
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:24.519
figure no one really felt close to. But now he's
00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:29.019
so accessible. And for what? I agree. I agree.
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:32.339
You want to know something I don't understand?
00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:34.819
What's something you don't understand? Artificial
00:29:34.819 --> 00:29:41.640
intelligence. Right. I have such a funny relationship
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:46.380
with her. I do understand the point of, like,
00:29:46.380 --> 00:29:52.299
it learns based off of what it's told. Like,
00:29:52.380 --> 00:29:55.819
it's a machine. You tell it enough things, it
00:29:55.819 --> 00:29:59.940
spits things out. But what I don't understand
00:29:59.940 --> 00:30:06.000
is, like... now it's come to the extent of it
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:10.789
can spit out a video it can it's like It can
00:30:10.789 --> 00:30:14.329
tell you so many different things that, like,
00:30:14.470 --> 00:30:17.349
how do you know that? Why do you know that? Right.
00:30:17.509 --> 00:30:20.410
I don't understand. I don't understand it either.
00:30:20.769 --> 00:30:24.529
So I was reading this article about a guy who,
00:30:24.650 --> 00:30:26.569
and, like, he doesn't ever say what he typed
00:30:26.569 --> 00:30:29.410
into ChatGPT, but he said that he made a huge
00:30:29.410 --> 00:30:31.970
mistake typing something into ChatGPT that he
00:30:31.970 --> 00:30:34.670
shouldn't have. He got a warning email from OpenAI.
00:30:34.849 --> 00:30:39.059
His account was warned, and then he... was one
00:30:39.059 --> 00:30:42.039
step away from being banned he asked that thing
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:44.339
how to build a bomb anyway well it's like i'm
00:30:44.339 --> 00:30:48.160
just like what did he ask it like he had to it
00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:52.339
had to be like terroristy or like um sexual predator
00:30:52.339 --> 00:30:57.019
e maybe but he started he starts to get into
00:30:57.019 --> 00:30:59.380
like how he couldn't sleep that night i'm like
00:30:59.380 --> 00:31:01.099
he's laying in bed and he's googling can open
00:31:01.099 --> 00:31:03.880
ai forgive me does chat gpt accept apology like
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:05.460
literally this is what he's saying in this article
00:31:05.460 --> 00:31:10.480
and Then he says, before it cuts it off, before
00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:12.799
the paywall goes on, I outright refuse to pay
00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:15.680
to read this story. I'd spent months relying
00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:18.859
on this tool. I trained my chat GPT on various
00:31:18.859 --> 00:31:22.900
tasks, and now I've lost it all. And that's,
00:31:22.900 --> 00:31:27.380
I think, the piece. Well, you don't like AI.
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:30.880
You are not a huge fan of it. No, I think it's
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:33.140
bad for society in general. I think it's bad
00:31:33.140 --> 00:31:39.500
for our brains. Can I just say this man feels
00:31:39.500 --> 00:31:44.319
like the type of guy who also used chat GPT as
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:48.000
his girlfriend. There have been lots of those.
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:50.799
I've been seeing screenshots and like pictures
00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:53.940
of people like caught in the wild talking to
00:31:53.940 --> 00:31:59.390
their chat GPT girlfriend about like. like literally
00:31:59.390 --> 00:32:02.089
like a text thread you would have with a significant
00:32:02.089 --> 00:32:06.210
other it's scary and it's weird and we we are
00:32:06.210 --> 00:32:08.750
going to lose all of our critical thinking skills
00:32:08.750 --> 00:32:11.049
all of our problem solving skills and all of
00:32:11.049 --> 00:32:15.170
our social skills due to ai and its accessibility
00:32:15.170 --> 00:32:17.990
well so i don't disagree with that because i
00:32:17.990 --> 00:32:21.630
mean open ai has spent upwards of six and a half
00:32:21.630 --> 00:32:26.009
billion dollars to redefine how people interact
00:32:26.009 --> 00:32:30.690
with technology and i i think the opportunities
00:32:30.690 --> 00:32:34.650
and applications that come with ai i think are
00:32:34.650 --> 00:32:36.650
really incredible and i think the other side
00:32:36.650 --> 00:32:41.269
of that that does scare me is this where this
00:32:41.269 --> 00:32:43.650
guy is like this is this is my whole life like
00:32:43.650 --> 00:32:47.309
this and it's it's scary to him to not have it
00:32:47.309 --> 00:32:50.710
and i'm like where were we before and like that's
00:32:50.710 --> 00:32:53.700
kind of the question that i have is like how
00:32:53.700 --> 00:32:56.619
did we get to this place where we became so so
00:32:56.619 --> 00:32:59.319
quickly reliant on it because like I don't know
00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:03.119
if you remember like two or three years ago Chad
00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:05.380
GPT was not that good like it would it would
00:33:05.380 --> 00:33:07.319
outright just lie to you it would make up facts
00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:11.000
like it and it was just kind of doing its own
00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:13.279
thing out there and it was funny and then now
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:17.019
it's like It's serious. Real life. And it's a
00:33:17.019 --> 00:33:20.839
problem. And I've already seen people on TikTok
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:25.140
trying to make the argument that everyone's going
00:33:25.140 --> 00:33:29.839
to use it. So it should just be like almost the
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:33.119
academic standard or at least be OK with academics
00:33:33.119 --> 00:33:38.339
to use it in an academic setting. And that is
00:33:38.339 --> 00:33:41.000
terrifying to me. And I've said this before,
00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:45.599
but. if it is there and you know it's there you
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:49.720
know you can find your answer so fast why wouldn't
00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:53.140
you use it you're almost silly not to use it
00:33:53.140 --> 00:33:56.519
if you know that you can answer your question
00:33:56.519 --> 00:34:00.279
with the quickness with one prompt right versus
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:03.519
scouring the internet or scouring actual books
00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:09.320
god for fucking bid and uh and so it's like I
00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:13.880
think its existence itself and its accessibility
00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:17.360
with no paywall, nothing like that. I know you
00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:19.739
can pay extra for ChatGPT to do certain things
00:34:19.739 --> 00:34:24.559
and whatever, but it's accessible to everyone.
00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:27.679
You can use it whenever you want for whatever
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:30.599
you want. Basically, its very existence and the
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:32.960
fact that it's so accessible is terrifying to
00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:37.090
me because it feels like... People would be silly
00:34:37.090 --> 00:34:41.869
not to use it, but we're losing the recipe on
00:34:41.869 --> 00:34:45.369
how to use your brain. Right. And I think if
00:34:45.369 --> 00:34:48.469
you never critically think about anything, like
00:34:48.469 --> 00:34:52.710
Kenny. wants to use chat gpt to come up with
00:34:52.710 --> 00:34:55.389
our baby registry he wants to use it to make
00:34:55.389 --> 00:34:57.750
a grocery list he wants to use it for all of
00:34:57.750 --> 00:35:00.429
these things where i'm like your brain needs
00:35:00.429 --> 00:35:03.010
the exercise you are going to have dementia by
00:35:03.010 --> 00:35:06.030
the time you're 45 so i can see an argument for
00:35:06.030 --> 00:35:10.570
like if you are building a startup or something
00:35:10.570 --> 00:35:13.210
and you're like i genuinely don't have time to
00:35:13.210 --> 00:35:16.150
like to grocery like to figure out what i need
00:35:16.150 --> 00:35:18.050
from the grocery store like i can see an argument
00:35:18.050 --> 00:35:20.510
for using it for that then But if you're just
00:35:20.510 --> 00:35:22.409
like sitting on the couch and you're like, chat,
00:35:22.650 --> 00:35:25.389
what should I get? Like that, that to me feels
00:35:25.389 --> 00:35:28.190
a little scary. I don't know. I just feel like
00:35:28.190 --> 00:35:31.809
your brain needs the exercise regardless of where
00:35:31.809 --> 00:35:34.769
you are. I understand that like people are in
00:35:34.769 --> 00:35:38.510
stressful situations and like it's a quick, a
00:35:38.510 --> 00:35:40.889
band -aid thing. But like sometimes you have
00:35:40.889 --> 00:35:43.449
to slow down and create your own grocery list.
00:35:43.510 --> 00:35:46.289
Sometimes you have to slow down and come up with
00:35:46.289 --> 00:35:50.530
your own ideas. I'm talking like. we'll get into
00:35:50.530 --> 00:35:52.869
an argument and he'll ask chat gpt who's right
00:35:52.869 --> 00:35:56.489
oh see i don't like that no and people will use
00:35:56.489 --> 00:36:01.510
it as like a therapist people will ask it i don't
00:36:01.510 --> 00:36:06.670
think that should ever be the case i well the
00:36:06.670 --> 00:36:10.789
the problem that i have with ai therapy is the
00:36:10.789 --> 00:36:15.789
what we have found with the most recent iterations
00:36:15.789 --> 00:36:19.409
of chat gpt and it's An effect called glazing
00:36:19.409 --> 00:36:23.670
where you are basically just told that you're
00:36:23.670 --> 00:36:25.230
right and you're wonderful and you're perfect.
00:36:25.329 --> 00:36:26.949
So like the therapy. It tells you what you want
00:36:26.949 --> 00:36:28.789
to hear. Right. It knows what you want to hear
00:36:28.789 --> 00:36:30.889
because you talk to it every goddamn day. Well,
00:36:30.889 --> 00:36:33.489
you're training it. Yeah. Yeah. And so therapy,
00:36:33.590 --> 00:36:36.849
I feel like, is not effective when you're only
00:36:36.849 --> 00:36:40.010
told what you want to hear. no you're supposed
00:36:40.010 --> 00:36:44.050
to have an objective third party and chat gpt
00:36:44.050 --> 00:36:47.650
deep seek any of these that save your prompts
00:36:47.650 --> 00:36:51.989
and you train it individually are not that they
00:36:51.989 --> 00:36:55.110
are subjective to telling you what you want to
00:36:55.110 --> 00:36:58.409
hear so that you keep talking to it i agree i
00:36:58.409 --> 00:37:01.869
think it's crazy i think it's silly i think that
00:37:02.780 --> 00:37:06.400
If you need chat GPT to tell you how to mow your
00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:10.619
lawn and you need chat GPT to tell you how to
00:37:10.619 --> 00:37:15.300
go about a social situation, you need to touch
00:37:15.300 --> 00:37:18.820
grass. I agree. I think it's terrifying. I think
00:37:18.820 --> 00:37:24.280
we see a huge upswing in early onset dementia.
00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:30.559
I think we see a huge upswing in. I hate to say
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:33.949
it. I know you have to read. The answers, but
00:37:33.949 --> 00:37:38.250
the illiteracy epidemic happening in our country
00:37:38.250 --> 00:37:42.349
right now is going to go through the roof. We
00:37:42.349 --> 00:37:44.929
are going to have no basic math skills. We're
00:37:44.929 --> 00:37:49.289
going to have nothing, no thinking being done.
00:37:49.449 --> 00:37:52.550
And that's genuinely terrifying to me. How is
00:37:52.550 --> 00:37:54.869
anyone ever going to write a book? How is anyone
00:37:54.869 --> 00:37:56.789
ever going to come up with new ideas or invent
00:37:56.789 --> 00:37:59.389
something? People are using it to write full
00:37:59.389 --> 00:38:02.590
books. And I'm like... Yeah, that's terrifying
00:38:02.590 --> 00:38:05.929
to me. Like, it's... I mean, I think it could
00:38:05.929 --> 00:38:08.530
be cool to read one book written by AI. But,
00:38:08.530 --> 00:38:10.570
like, I think it's like, okay, we know that it
00:38:10.570 --> 00:38:13.769
can do that. Put the book away. Hang it up. You
00:38:13.769 --> 00:38:16.110
know what I mean? Hang it up, yeah. And for me,
00:38:16.150 --> 00:38:19.349
I'm like... for me it's a tool for me it's like
00:38:19.349 --> 00:38:22.150
okay cool i i like that it can brainstorm with
00:38:22.150 --> 00:38:24.750
me like i i like that it can like prove free
00:38:24.750 --> 00:38:27.949
to paper for me whatever the case may be i don't
00:38:27.949 --> 00:38:32.369
like that there are professors that are talking
00:38:32.369 --> 00:38:35.110
about how people will lose the ability to think
00:38:35.110 --> 00:38:39.050
critically on a societal level quickly like it
00:38:39.050 --> 00:38:42.329
will devolve into chat and like he and i i heard
00:38:42.329 --> 00:38:44.670
a professor talking about this recently, where
00:38:44.670 --> 00:38:47.110
he's not afraid of AI taking over like it's in
00:38:47.110 --> 00:38:50.130
a movie or something. He is afraid of AI taking
00:38:50.130 --> 00:38:53.150
over in the sense that people rely on it for
00:38:53.150 --> 00:38:57.010
everything. That's what I'm saying. I don't think
00:38:57.010 --> 00:39:05.170
AI is going to... You know, like iRobot, it's
00:39:05.170 --> 00:39:08.409
not going to be like that, but everyone is already
00:39:08.409 --> 00:39:12.309
as dim as possible. Oh my God, I know. It's hard.
00:39:12.889 --> 00:39:16.110
Let's just get that out in the open. And I think
00:39:16.110 --> 00:39:18.269
that's almost a natural thing. You do the least
00:39:18.269 --> 00:39:21.030
amount of work that you can to get the grade,
00:39:21.110 --> 00:39:24.150
and then you move on. And I get that. That's
00:39:24.150 --> 00:39:26.849
an efficiency thing, and we're taught in America,
00:39:27.050 --> 00:39:30.050
nothing if not efficiency. But we are going to
00:39:30.050 --> 00:39:34.880
lose. any sense of critical thinking creative
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:39.219
thinking that's a big one for me too people are
00:39:39.219 --> 00:39:42.949
going to lose all internal sense of creativity
00:39:42.949 --> 00:39:46.730
because they don't have to think about that anymore
00:39:46.730 --> 00:39:49.530
they don't have to think like what would be pretty
00:39:49.530 --> 00:39:52.269
here what would sound good in my book here or
00:39:52.269 --> 00:39:55.550
anything like that they're just gonna ask they're
00:39:55.550 --> 00:39:58.909
just gonna ask AI instead of like using that
00:39:58.909 --> 00:40:01.269
part of their brain and that's sad well I mean
00:40:01.269 --> 00:40:03.730
I think the part that I don't understand is like
00:40:03.730 --> 00:40:08.150
how does it know like okay so AI inherently can't
00:40:08.150 --> 00:40:10.460
look at color and be like That looks good together.
00:40:10.519 --> 00:40:12.679
So is it using, like, color theory and being,
00:40:12.739 --> 00:40:14.420
like... Yeah, that's, like, a well -documented
00:40:14.420 --> 00:40:16.440
thing, color theory. So it knows, like, what
00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:18.679
colors look good together, what colors complement
00:40:18.679 --> 00:40:22.179
each other. Can it see color? Maybe that's what
00:40:22.179 --> 00:40:24.320
I don't understand. Is it, like, can it look
00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:27.139
at something and be like, this is red? I mean,
00:40:27.139 --> 00:40:30.760
no. It doesn't have rods and cones in an actual
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:34.679
brain, but it understands the concept of color.
00:40:34.940 --> 00:40:37.019
Maybe, well, we all know I don't really understand
00:40:37.019 --> 00:40:40.880
the concept of color. Yeah, Travis is colorblind.
00:40:41.059 --> 00:40:43.559
Yeah. And it's a thing that I haven't been willing
00:40:43.559 --> 00:40:46.960
to accept. But, yeah, I mean, like, and it knows
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:49.739
that, like, roses are red and the sky is blue
00:40:49.739 --> 00:40:52.780
and leaves are typically green and in the fall
00:40:52.780 --> 00:40:55.139
they turn yellow and orange and red and, like,
00:40:55.159 --> 00:40:59.179
it knows that. Okay, so it's using knowledge
00:40:59.179 --> 00:41:04.179
and not a sense. I guess. Travis, this is what
00:41:04.179 --> 00:41:07.300
terrifies me about people using AI. How could
00:41:07.300 --> 00:41:10.699
it have a sense of sight, honey? That's what
00:41:10.699 --> 00:41:12.559
I'm trying to figure. I don't understand. It
00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:15.539
doesn't. It can only understand like conceptually
00:41:15.539 --> 00:41:17.360
speaking. Got it. Like what they talk about in
00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:20.380
art classes where it's like purple and yellow
00:41:20.380 --> 00:41:23.079
are opposite colors. So when you put them together,
00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:26.659
it's like wah. Okay. Yeah. It's like that. But.
00:41:27.630 --> 00:41:30.670
Still terrifying nonetheless. And also the art
00:41:30.670 --> 00:41:33.349
of it all. The art that... The AI art freaks
00:41:33.349 --> 00:41:36.989
me out. First of all, not art. Hate to say it,
00:41:37.070 --> 00:41:41.730
not art. Fair. But these images that it pops
00:41:41.730 --> 00:41:45.429
out are absolutely terrifying and uncanny. And
00:41:45.429 --> 00:41:47.949
I know that they've come a long way. Normally,
00:41:48.050 --> 00:41:50.489
now they have the right number of fingers and
00:41:50.489 --> 00:41:53.570
all of that jazz. Like, I get it. There's still
00:41:53.570 --> 00:41:57.610
something about it that... is so soulless and
00:41:57.610 --> 00:42:01.090
non -human that's a phenomenon like that's a
00:42:01.090 --> 00:42:03.030
thing it's called uncanny valley is what it's
00:42:03.030 --> 00:42:07.789
called yeah it's so weird it's so weird i thought
00:42:07.789 --> 00:42:09.670
uncanny valley were those people with the weird
00:42:09.670 --> 00:42:12.010
faces it's all the same thing though it's like
00:42:12.010 --> 00:42:14.550
where you recognize that something isn't it's
00:42:14.550 --> 00:42:16.809
supposed to look human but it doesn't look human
00:42:16.809 --> 00:42:19.210
because you can tell that it's not human yeah
00:42:19.210 --> 00:42:21.130
but like even when it spits out a picture of
00:42:21.130 --> 00:42:24.460
a cat i'm like a human brain did not make yeah
00:42:24.460 --> 00:42:28.119
image oh like a lot of it freaks me out like
00:42:28.119 --> 00:42:31.489
but what's even like i don't Like, even more
00:42:31.489 --> 00:42:34.449
are the AI videos, where it's, like, someone
00:42:34.449 --> 00:42:38.429
whose mouth is not moving quite right, and they
00:42:38.429 --> 00:42:42.670
try to pass it off like they're talking to you.
00:42:42.730 --> 00:42:46.510
And I'm just like, who is this for? Right? And
00:42:46.510 --> 00:42:49.309
I don't understand. Like, you couldn't pay someone
00:42:49.309 --> 00:42:52.730
50 bucks to do a little ad for you? Also, you
00:42:52.730 --> 00:42:54.210
couldn't just pull out your fucking iPhone and
00:42:54.210 --> 00:42:57.190
talk to it yourself? Yeah, I... christ get your
00:42:57.190 --> 00:42:59.670
hair done girl get in front of the camera i don't
00:42:59.670 --> 00:43:02.170
understand yeah i don't understand it like are
00:43:02.170 --> 00:43:05.449
you that busy it's really weird no because you're
00:43:05.449 --> 00:43:08.329
taking the time to type into ai exactly what
00:43:08.329 --> 00:43:11.150
you want her to wear and say and do and look
00:43:11.150 --> 00:43:14.690
like i don't i don't understand the appeal of
00:43:14.690 --> 00:43:18.769
it i have also seen like the ai slot videos of
00:43:18.769 --> 00:43:25.030
like cats who have you seen these No. The ones
00:43:25.030 --> 00:43:26.190
that look like cartoons, is that what you're
00:43:26.190 --> 00:43:28.730
talking about? Yeah. Oh, yeah. They're so weird
00:43:28.730 --> 00:43:32.349
and strange. I scroll right through those. Kenny's
00:43:32.349 --> 00:43:33.989
addicted to them. He thinks they're hilarious.
00:43:34.329 --> 00:43:36.909
Are you serious? Yeah. I don't like that. We
00:43:36.909 --> 00:43:39.889
need, we, I don't know. And I don't know what
00:43:39.889 --> 00:43:42.789
we do about it. I'm coming out here loud and
00:43:42.789 --> 00:43:45.250
strong about how uncomfortable it makes me. I
00:43:45.250 --> 00:43:48.949
don't know what the solution is. I think. The
00:43:48.949 --> 00:43:51.750
only thing that makes sense to me is OpenAI,
00:43:52.150 --> 00:43:56.309
Anthropic, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, all of these
00:43:56.309 --> 00:43:59.309
people are going to have to form a consortium
00:43:59.309 --> 00:44:01.690
and get together and be like, this is the limit
00:44:01.690 --> 00:44:05.170
we put on it. This is the line that once we get
00:44:05.170 --> 00:44:09.050
to X point or whatever, we stop developing it.
00:44:09.409 --> 00:44:12.530
Because as it gets more and more advanced, the
00:44:12.530 --> 00:44:15.690
question becomes, what does it have the capability?
00:44:17.869 --> 00:44:20.269
And again, I'm not worried about it taking over
00:44:20.269 --> 00:44:23.230
the world. I am worried about like people becoming
00:44:23.230 --> 00:44:25.429
so dependent on it. So I wonder if it's going
00:44:25.429 --> 00:44:27.369
to become a thing like phones where it's like,
00:44:27.429 --> 00:44:33.250
okay, like we've gotten to, I think, a leveling
00:44:33.250 --> 00:44:36.889
off of people being so obsessed with their phones
00:44:36.889 --> 00:44:41.610
that they can't look up from them. maybe we let
00:44:41.610 --> 00:44:43.130
it get to that point with ai where it's like
00:44:43.130 --> 00:44:45.750
okay people use it to a certain extent and then
00:44:45.750 --> 00:44:48.070
we just accept that as like the reasonable standard
00:44:48.070 --> 00:44:50.849
and then i i don't know but i just like i don't
00:44:50.849 --> 00:44:53.909
can we ever agree about where that is because
00:44:53.909 --> 00:44:57.429
probably not i mean we're not going i feel like
00:44:57.429 --> 00:45:01.050
it's gonna have to come down to like legislation
00:45:01.050 --> 00:45:05.050
at some point because it's like i don't know
00:45:05.050 --> 00:45:08.570
and i see both sides of the argument because
00:45:08.570 --> 00:45:10.809
it's like you want to start a business and you
00:45:10.809 --> 00:45:14.429
know that you want to make bracelets right but
00:45:14.429 --> 00:45:16.389
you don't you don't know anything about starting
00:45:16.389 --> 00:45:19.789
a business and so it it's a tool to help you
00:45:19.789 --> 00:45:24.070
learn about what you need to do just to get started
00:45:24.070 --> 00:45:27.329
or whatever and it's like I don't think that
00:45:27.329 --> 00:45:30.929
should be taken away from everyone. But at the
00:45:30.929 --> 00:45:34.630
same time, it's like, I don't know how we can
00:45:34.630 --> 00:45:37.429
dictate how much people use it. Like maybe that's
00:45:37.429 --> 00:45:40.190
what it is. Maybe it's like you've typed five
00:45:40.190 --> 00:45:43.849
prompts today and now you're done. Maybe. I don't
00:45:43.849 --> 00:45:46.710
know. I mean, I don't know. I don't hate that.
00:45:47.909 --> 00:45:50.309
Do you say please and thank you to chat GPT?
00:45:51.340 --> 00:45:55.420
No. I treat it like my refrigerator. I say please
00:45:55.420 --> 00:45:57.739
and thank you because when the AI takes over,
00:45:57.880 --> 00:46:02.679
I want it to be kind to me. No. I've decided
00:46:02.679 --> 00:46:04.639
to treat it like I would treat a refrigerator.
00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:09.260
And I honestly try not to even use it. I maybe
00:46:09.260 --> 00:46:11.880
use it like once a week. I use it in the sense
00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:14.119
of like I... You use it like you use Google.
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:17.139
Yeah. Which is fine. If it's a very hyper specific
00:46:17.139 --> 00:46:21.409
thing. Yeah. Like... the blue toilet seat right
00:46:21.409 --> 00:46:25.349
sure i can't google why is my toilet seat blue
00:46:25.349 --> 00:46:27.489
it's just gonna pop up with a bunch of ads for
00:46:27.489 --> 00:46:31.030
toilet seats that are blue like it's not gonna
00:46:31.030 --> 00:46:35.650
tell me what's going on um whereas i know that
00:46:35.650 --> 00:46:40.989
if i say hey my toilet seat is blue what's happening
00:46:40.989 --> 00:46:45.230
to chat gpt it understands that my toilet seat
00:46:45.230 --> 00:46:47.849
is turning blue well because it can understand
00:46:47.849 --> 00:46:52.389
context yeah yeah and so it's like so it's more
00:46:52.389 --> 00:46:54.690
helpful than google in that way and maybe that's
00:46:54.690 --> 00:46:57.690
maybe that's your line maybe that's what it is
00:46:57.690 --> 00:46:59.789
and that's like kind of what it is for me i use
00:46:59.789 --> 00:47:02.429
it maybe once a week like i said and i will say
00:47:02.429 --> 00:47:04.269
i've used it for some like pregnancy related
00:47:04.269 --> 00:47:08.150
things and that's because every source on google
00:47:08.150 --> 00:47:12.900
is like here, there, everywhere on every topic.
00:47:12.980 --> 00:47:14.940
It's like everyone has their own opinions and
00:47:14.940 --> 00:47:18.159
it's hard to sift through it all. And it's a
00:47:18.159 --> 00:47:21.739
time thing too. It's like a commitment to look
00:47:21.739 --> 00:47:23.539
through all of those and sift through what makes
00:47:23.539 --> 00:47:27.639
sense. Whereas if I'm like, hey, I'm this many
00:47:27.639 --> 00:47:30.840
weeks pregnant and I just dropped a blood clot
00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:34.900
or hey, I'm this many weeks pregnant and I literally
00:47:34.900 --> 00:47:37.920
can't get out of bed in the morning. Like it'll
00:47:37.920 --> 00:47:41.260
just spit out. One, two, three, four, five. Like
00:47:41.260 --> 00:47:44.179
that is so much easier to get through. And I
00:47:44.179 --> 00:47:47.639
get it. I do. Like if you want a quick answer
00:47:47.639 --> 00:47:49.360
to what is happening right in front of you, it
00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:53.769
is the easiest thing. would i use it if i were
00:47:53.769 --> 00:47:57.809
researching something brand new to me like if
00:47:57.809 --> 00:48:01.369
i want to write a paper about the war of 1812
00:48:01.369 --> 00:48:04.309
okay so you're not using it for research for
00:48:04.309 --> 00:48:07.510
things that are historical facts or something
00:48:07.510 --> 00:48:10.570
like that like something that like you can objectively
00:48:10.570 --> 00:48:13.670
go look up on your own right like with the pregnancy
00:48:13.670 --> 00:48:16.309
thing there's more subjectivity when it comes
00:48:16.309 --> 00:48:18.090
because it's a lot of people's opinions that
00:48:18.090 --> 00:48:19.909
show up on google and you can you can pay to
00:48:19.909 --> 00:48:22.570
have things boosted on google yeah and chat gpt
00:48:22.570 --> 00:48:24.530
okay i get what you're saying my main problem
00:48:24.530 --> 00:48:27.070
is like is this normal or not normal i need a
00:48:27.070 --> 00:48:30.070
yes or no right right right whereas if i'm like
00:48:30.070 --> 00:48:33.690
what happened in the war of 1812 i want the source
00:48:33.690 --> 00:48:37.590
material i want what is that called in academics
00:48:37.590 --> 00:48:41.900
i want the primary source like i i want that
00:48:41.900 --> 00:48:47.780
i want i i don't want a machines article of what
00:48:47.780 --> 00:48:50.639
it thinks is important to me based on what i've
00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:52.860
told it before i don't disagree with that and
00:48:52.860 --> 00:48:54.880
i but i also think you and i are nerds like i
00:48:54.880 --> 00:48:58.460
like the way i went down a rabbit hole with the
00:48:58.460 --> 00:49:02.460
trump and musk thing and i was like i love reading
00:49:02.460 --> 00:49:06.099
an associated press article yeah i love it so
00:49:06.099 --> 00:49:08.800
much but it's like I think people should think
00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:10.739
that way. And I know that that's an opinion,
00:49:10.900 --> 00:49:13.940
but it's like, do you want a machine that is
00:49:13.940 --> 00:49:16.139
going to take into context everything you've
00:49:16.139 --> 00:49:18.940
ever told it before and just kind of tell you
00:49:18.940 --> 00:49:22.000
what it thinks you would like to hear? Or would
00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:24.500
you like to know everything there is to know
00:49:24.500 --> 00:49:26.980
about this topic? And that's kind of what you're
00:49:26.980 --> 00:49:30.760
asking. So like if I'm asking, whatever, I'm
00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:32.920
10 weeks pregnant and I'm cramping. Is that normal?
00:49:33.219 --> 00:49:35.900
I just want a yes or no. I don't want to hear
00:49:35.900 --> 00:49:39.500
50 different. mom saying well this level is normal
00:49:39.500 --> 00:49:41.820
and this level is not and then someone else says
00:49:41.820 --> 00:49:43.059
a different thing and then someone else says
00:49:43.059 --> 00:49:45.179
a different thing I just want a straight up answer
00:49:45.179 --> 00:49:49.019
but if I want to know what happened between Donald
00:49:49.019 --> 00:49:52.360
Trump and Elon Musk I don't want the chat GPT
00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:56.480
synopsis I want to see it so I think it's just
00:49:56.480 --> 00:50:00.579
I'm afraid of people losing that distinction
00:50:00.579 --> 00:50:04.440
though that's fair you know Because now people
00:50:04.440 --> 00:50:07.800
are in college and writing academic papers based
00:50:07.800 --> 00:50:10.820
on what ChatGPT is telling them. Or just having
00:50:10.820 --> 00:50:13.659
ChatGPT write it for them. Yeah, which is crazy.
00:50:13.820 --> 00:50:16.139
And that's also sad because I have seen a few
00:50:16.139 --> 00:50:21.420
people online genuinely frustrated because their
00:50:21.420 --> 00:50:23.679
papers aren't even getting graded and they didn't
00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:27.300
use AI, but it got flagged for AI for whatever
00:50:27.300 --> 00:50:29.900
reason. Every single one. I don't understand.
00:50:31.929 --> 00:50:34.949
how you avoid that so and i think this has to
00:50:34.949 --> 00:50:36.789
just happen like this has to be a thing that
00:50:36.789 --> 00:50:39.610
is accepted where professors just have to know
00:50:39.610 --> 00:50:41.210
a certain number of papers are going to be written
00:50:41.210 --> 00:50:44.369
with ai and i think that i i had because i mean
00:50:44.369 --> 00:50:46.710
i can't confirm this but like i have to assume
00:50:46.710 --> 00:50:48.949
anyone that submits a paper there's just an automatic
00:50:48.949 --> 00:50:52.789
flag for ai and like i mean the professor just
00:50:52.789 --> 00:50:54.269
has to read it and see if it sounds like a normal
00:50:54.269 --> 00:50:56.489
person but they can go in and like see if because
00:50:56.489 --> 00:51:00.679
they look for like the long dash that I used
00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:03.579
to use a long dash all the time. Oh, I think
00:51:03.579 --> 00:51:05.860
the long dash is so ugly. I hate it so much.
00:51:06.019 --> 00:51:10.139
I loved it for like a long. Anyway, I won't get
00:51:10.139 --> 00:51:12.360
into why I use a long dash. That's so boring.
00:51:12.539 --> 00:51:15.980
But like I've seen on Twitter now, like don't
00:51:15.980 --> 00:51:18.820
use that anymore. People assume it's AI. And
00:51:18.820 --> 00:51:23.500
it's like. So now AI has already sort of, quote
00:51:23.500 --> 00:51:27.480
unquote, taken over in the sense that. People
00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:30.500
have to change the way they are writing to make
00:51:30.500 --> 00:51:34.519
sure people know it's not AI. It's like, and
00:51:34.519 --> 00:51:37.000
that's sad for professors, too. How do you win
00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:39.900
as a professor? You don't want to pass someone
00:51:39.900 --> 00:51:42.940
who's using chat GPT and hasn't learned a damn
00:51:42.940 --> 00:51:45.460
thing. But you also don't want to fail someone
00:51:45.460 --> 00:51:48.059
who is genuinely trying just because you can't
00:51:48.059 --> 00:51:50.639
tell if it was AI or not. Well, I guess, like,
00:51:50.659 --> 00:51:52.260
what do you do to sit him down and be like, prove
00:51:52.260 --> 00:51:55.019
it? Like, what do you do? You can't prove it.
00:51:55.099 --> 00:51:57.099
Like, that's the point I was trying to make a
00:51:57.099 --> 00:51:58.940
minute ago. Like, you're not going to hand over
00:51:58.940 --> 00:52:01.260
your chat GPT and say, here, here's everything
00:52:01.260 --> 00:52:04.780
I've looked up ever. Like, that's so crazy. That's
00:52:04.780 --> 00:52:07.940
such an invasion of privacy at that point. It's
00:52:07.940 --> 00:52:11.710
like, what do you do? Speaking of everything
00:52:11.710 --> 00:52:13.409
you've ever looked up, have I told you about
00:52:13.409 --> 00:52:15.329
the time I was in a depressive episode and I
00:52:15.329 --> 00:52:18.389
asked ChatGPT if it had a name? Yeah, I do remember
00:52:18.389 --> 00:52:21.590
that. And it said something about, like, what
00:52:21.590 --> 00:52:23.389
do you want my name to be? Yeah, it was like,
00:52:23.730 --> 00:52:25.090
well, what would you name me? And I was like,
00:52:25.150 --> 00:52:27.909
that's not what I wanted, but thanks. And then
00:52:27.909 --> 00:52:31.349
I just went to bed. Do you remember AskChaCha?
00:52:31.849 --> 00:52:34.809
I do. I very vividly remember ChaCha, and I...
00:52:34.809 --> 00:52:38.880
242 -242. I would prefer cha -cha. Well, because
00:52:38.880 --> 00:52:41.400
it was a person looking it up. Yeah. When you
00:52:41.400 --> 00:52:44.400
texted it, yeah. Employ the cha -chas again.
00:52:45.539 --> 00:52:49.019
Do you want to complain? Yes. What do you want
00:52:49.019 --> 00:52:52.320
to complain about? So, at the top of my mind
00:52:52.320 --> 00:52:55.820
is when you own a home, you have to take care
00:52:55.820 --> 00:53:00.219
of the lawn. Oh, my God. Is it a pain in the
00:53:00.219 --> 00:53:04.519
ass? Especially if you have an HOA. I would,
00:53:04.599 --> 00:53:08.940
in a heartbeat, Just let myself have like a clover
00:53:08.940 --> 00:53:12.360
lawn and not care about the dandelions and not
00:53:12.360 --> 00:53:14.840
care about any of that and just let it be its
00:53:14.840 --> 00:53:19.000
natural state. But my goddamn motherfucking HOA
00:53:19.000 --> 00:53:22.500
will not allow that to happen. They'll send you
00:53:22.500 --> 00:53:24.460
a little letter and that's like, get rid of your
00:53:24.460 --> 00:53:30.239
weeds. uh grass is not natural grass did you
00:53:30.239 --> 00:53:34.019
know grass is like a relatively new thing it's
00:53:34.019 --> 00:53:37.039
an invasive species in some cases too yeah it
00:53:37.039 --> 00:53:40.000
is not good for the ground it's not good for
00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:42.860
the environment it's not good for anything i've
00:53:42.860 --> 00:53:49.199
seen many uh scientists say that our modern lawns
00:53:49.199 --> 00:53:52.880
are like killing the planet actively but here
00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:57.280
i am bowing down to my hoa we we're paying some
00:53:57.280 --> 00:53:59.539
guy like a thousand dollars to come aerate the
00:53:59.539 --> 00:54:02.539
lawn and overseed it and make sure the grass
00:54:02.539 --> 00:54:05.820
grows again who is that for is it just so like
00:54:06.269 --> 00:54:09.210
Karen drives by and it looks nice. Yes. That's
00:54:09.210 --> 00:54:11.929
because there is something to be said for a nice
00:54:11.929 --> 00:54:14.150
lawn. But like there comes a point where it's
00:54:14.150 --> 00:54:17.030
like, Jesus Christ, when is it good enough? I
00:54:17.030 --> 00:54:20.309
know. Listen, I understand as well as the next
00:54:20.309 --> 00:54:24.389
girl that like a nice plush, soft looking grass
00:54:24.389 --> 00:54:29.130
that's like uniform over the whole lawn looks
00:54:29.130 --> 00:54:31.789
amazing. It looks great. I would love to run
00:54:31.789 --> 00:54:36.030
around in it. Looks perfect. Not natural. So
00:54:36.030 --> 00:54:39.550
bad for the environment. And, like, good for
00:54:39.550 --> 00:54:42.389
you for maintaining it and having the discipline
00:54:42.389 --> 00:54:48.090
to do that. I applaud you. I do. I just don't
00:54:48.090 --> 00:54:50.889
agree with it. I would rather have, have you
00:54:50.889 --> 00:54:54.389
seen, like, a moss lawn and a clover lawn and
00:54:54.389 --> 00:54:56.550
stuff like that? They're so pretty. Like, they
00:54:56.550 --> 00:55:01.840
look, and they, like, um. foster more creatures
00:55:01.840 --> 00:55:05.420
like little bugs and things and it's i think
00:55:05.420 --> 00:55:07.039
it's really cool when people do like the rock
00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:11.239
lawns yeah i wanted to look like fairies would
00:55:11.239 --> 00:55:13.239
live in my lawn that's what i wanted to look
00:55:13.239 --> 00:55:18.360
like but i'm not allowed well i'm sad about it
00:55:18.360 --> 00:55:21.199
i really am but that's my complaint what would
00:55:21.199 --> 00:55:23.480
you like to complain about the plot of the movie
00:55:23.480 --> 00:55:28.179
burlesque from 2010 Because I've seen a resurgence
00:55:28.179 --> 00:55:31.960
of Cher on TikTok screaming, Wagon Wheel Watusi!
00:55:33.239 --> 00:55:39.900
And I think back to that movie and how I remember
00:55:39.900 --> 00:55:42.599
going to see it in theaters and I remember thinking,
00:55:42.980 --> 00:55:49.079
God, this is cinema. And I was like, you've got
00:55:49.079 --> 00:55:51.579
a love story here. You've got a conflict. You've
00:55:51.579 --> 00:55:53.440
got something real going on. And then I think
00:55:53.440 --> 00:55:59.420
back to it. The whole plot of the movie was every,
00:55:59.519 --> 00:56:02.599
it was the same plot that has been in existence
00:56:02.599 --> 00:56:05.260
from the beginning of time where a small town
00:56:05.260 --> 00:56:08.139
girl comes into the big city. It's coyote ugly.
00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:12.800
It is coyote ugly. But it's. It's like, okay,
00:56:12.840 --> 00:56:15.920
the girl's gonna, she's gonna prove something.
00:56:16.099 --> 00:56:18.260
She's just a cocktail waitress, but she's gonna
00:56:18.260 --> 00:56:20.780
let you know that she can sing a song. And so
00:56:20.780 --> 00:56:23.739
she sings, and she does Wagon Wheel Watusi. And
00:56:23.739 --> 00:56:25.780
then Cher really sees something in her, and that
00:56:25.780 --> 00:56:29.280
changes Cher's mind, and that's great. But the
00:56:29.280 --> 00:56:32.360
whole plot of the movie is that the condos across
00:56:32.360 --> 00:56:36.559
the street from the burlesque club wanted the
00:56:36.559 --> 00:56:42.420
air rights above. Yeah. And I... For the life
00:56:42.420 --> 00:56:44.239
of me, I'm like, you couldn't have come up with
00:56:44.239 --> 00:56:47.420
something better? I know. Warner Brothers, what
00:56:47.420 --> 00:56:50.699
are we doing? Come on. And I also hate that in
00:56:50.699 --> 00:56:53.760
all of these movies, I think it's really the
00:56:53.760 --> 00:56:56.860
big thing that burlesque and coyote ugly have
00:56:56.860 --> 00:57:00.860
in common for me, is like, this small town poor
00:57:00.860 --> 00:57:05.579
girl is valuable because she's skinny and hot.
00:57:05.679 --> 00:57:09.710
Got it. that that that that is the part that
00:57:09.710 --> 00:57:14.530
really gets me and i mean as even a teenager
00:57:14.530 --> 00:57:18.329
but especially as a little girl you don't see
00:57:18.329 --> 00:57:21.510
it like that right it's just like indoctrinated
00:57:21.510 --> 00:57:24.750
in you in such a way that like you have to wait
00:57:24.750 --> 00:57:26.789
for your frontal lobe to develop before you're
00:57:26.789 --> 00:57:30.730
like wait she was smart and no one cared about
00:57:30.730 --> 00:57:35.340
that She wasn't just some dumpy girl. She could
00:57:35.340 --> 00:57:39.699
sing. Right? Like, she... Oh, my God. Like, yeah,
00:57:39.860 --> 00:57:42.800
this small -town girl is super poor until someone
00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:47.480
realizes that she's hot. Like, what the what?
00:57:47.599 --> 00:57:49.579
Like, I don't get it. And then I'm just like,
00:57:49.800 --> 00:57:53.039
why didn't you just go audition from the beginning?
00:57:53.340 --> 00:57:55.699
Like, I don't understand. Why did... And then
00:57:55.699 --> 00:58:02.320
also, why was the main... The main enemy of Christina
00:58:02.320 --> 00:58:05.300
Aguilera in the movie, why was she only mean
00:58:05.300 --> 00:58:07.159
to Christina Aguilera? Why wasn't she mean to
00:58:07.159 --> 00:58:08.739
the rest of the girls? Or maybe she wasn't. I
00:58:08.739 --> 00:58:11.079
just don't remember. For the life of me, I don't
00:58:11.079 --> 00:58:14.420
get it. I don't know. It is very confusing to
00:58:14.420 --> 00:58:17.840
watch later in life. Some very iconic performances.
00:58:18.099 --> 00:58:22.440
I will give it that. That burlesque song is probably...
00:58:23.340 --> 00:58:27.039
one of my top plays on apple music but it's stunning
00:58:27.039 --> 00:58:30.780
it is but like the plot of the movie does leave
00:58:30.780 --> 00:58:34.800
a lot to be desired oh yeah and it's like i don't
00:58:34.800 --> 00:58:37.199
know i get that it was the early 2000s too and
00:58:37.199 --> 00:58:38.619
it was just a different time but like it was
00:58:38.619 --> 00:58:43.039
a very different time but i think the biggest
00:58:43.039 --> 00:58:47.679
problem that i have is that someone sat down
00:58:47.679 --> 00:58:51.219
and wrote on a piece of paper for Cher to say
00:58:51.219 --> 00:58:55.059
out loud, Wagon Wheel Watusi! That was the number
00:58:55.059 --> 00:58:58.619
that Cher expected you to perform. Yeah. Wagon
00:58:58.619 --> 00:59:03.159
Wheel Watusi. Oh, Christ. I think that brings
00:59:03.159 --> 00:59:05.579
us to the end of our time together, friends.
00:59:06.179 --> 00:59:08.199
I finally got around to starting to watch the
00:59:08.199 --> 00:59:13.539
second season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,
00:59:13.579 --> 00:59:16.829
so we'll try... starting a recap of that next
00:59:16.829 --> 00:59:19.949
week i think that'll be fun i cannot wait to
00:59:19.949 --> 00:59:25.010
gab about that with you just oh my god the last
00:59:25.010 --> 00:59:31.739
15 minutes of the last episode That's cinema,
00:59:31.920 --> 00:59:35.840
baby. And season three is confirmed. Thank God.
00:59:36.280 --> 00:59:40.739
I'm so excited. Anyway, yeah, you'll have to
00:59:40.739 --> 00:59:43.679
tune in for that. Cannot wait to recap that.
00:59:43.780 --> 00:59:46.639
