WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.639
Well, well, well. We see you made it back. That's

00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:07.799
right. It's time for your favorite podcast, Two

00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:10.779
Douchebags and a Microphone, live from the historic

00:00:10.779 --> 00:00:13.539
river market in downtown Kansas City, Missouri,

00:00:13.779 --> 00:00:16.820
but only on Tuesdays and sometimes Wednesdays.

00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:19.160
Otherwise, you get live from the Duck Wine Studio

00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:21.839
in Wheatland, Missouri, and the Talk is Cheap

00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:24.059
studio from Extreme Southern Tent for the Kansas

00:00:24.059 --> 00:00:27.460
City Metroplex and the surrounding areas. Let's

00:00:27.460 --> 00:00:29.199
grab a seat and see what kind of garbage they

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:36.500
throw at us today. Enjoy. Welcome again. We're

00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:39.539
happy you chose us. Come on in. Wash yourself

00:00:39.539 --> 00:00:43.640
off. Would you enjoy a bourbon and coke? There's

00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:46.200
a liquor store down the road. If you go, I need

00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:49.740
rolling papers. Well, since you're here, let's

00:00:49.740 --> 00:00:51.859
get this daily douchebag pledge out of the way.

00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:55.439
All right, bitches, swing your hips and pelvic

00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:58.810
thrust. Shout it out with me. I, Joe or Jane

00:00:58.810 --> 00:01:01.210
Listener, promise to download every podcast.

00:01:02.090 --> 00:01:05.530
I, Joe or Jane Listener, promise to make all

00:01:05.530 --> 00:01:07.930
friends, family members and workmates download

00:01:07.930 --> 00:01:11.390
this show. I, Joe or Jane Listener, promise to

00:01:11.390 --> 00:01:14.129
grab idle computers, work computers, friends

00:01:14.129 --> 00:01:17.209
computers, community computers and other assorted

00:01:17.209 --> 00:01:19.370
phones and listening devices and download the

00:01:19.370 --> 00:01:23.109
show from there. I, Joe or Jane Listener, will

00:01:23.109 --> 00:01:25.750
download the show. and constantly barrage everyone

00:01:25.750 --> 00:01:29.310
with show name and platforms. I, Joe or Jane

00:01:29.310 --> 00:01:31.930
Listener, promise to wear a chicken costume and

00:01:31.930 --> 00:01:34.890
scream the show's name from my front yard. And

00:01:34.890 --> 00:01:37.250
finally, because of our 13 -year -old boy humor,

00:01:37.510 --> 00:01:40.989
we must go to Knobloch Cooter Licking in Uranus,

00:01:40.989 --> 00:01:44.049
Missouri to take selfies with the signs. If you

00:01:44.049 --> 00:01:48.209
go to Uranus, go to the fudge factory. Yes, there's

00:01:48.209 --> 00:01:53.680
a fudge factory in Uranus. No joke. Here at Two

00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.239
Douchebags and a Microphone, we don't stand behind

00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.319
our journalistic integrity. Go ahead and assume

00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.640
we got the story wrong. At least we admit it.

00:02:02.980 --> 00:02:05.980
Not like all those other guys, we can and will

00:02:05.980 --> 00:02:10.500
lie if it makes the story better. Two Douchebags

00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:22.439
and a Microphone. Hey, peeps. It's time for the

00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:26.400
police blotter. That's right stories about stupid

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:30.900
criminals and the dumbassness that ensued. Let

00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:35.060
us begin now. Dean Young, 26, entered a parked

00:02:35.060 --> 00:02:37.819
landscaping van in Hialeah, Florida, allegedly

00:02:37.819 --> 00:02:41.080
to steal the tools in the inside. He accidentally

00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.379
locked himself inside the van and begins screaming

00:02:43.379 --> 00:02:45.599
for someone to let him out. The landscapers heard

00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.620
the man's screams and promptly called the police

00:02:47.620 --> 00:02:49.419
where he was arrested for breaking and entering

00:02:49.419 --> 00:02:52.539
a vehicle and for attempted theft. This guy gets

00:02:52.539 --> 00:02:57.240
a stupid pendant pronto. Sir, I see your qualifications

00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.099
here. May I ask some further questions that could

00:03:00.099 --> 00:03:01.900
help me determine your employment eligibility?

00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:05.930
Yes, sir. I'm ready. Well, as you can see here,

00:03:05.990 --> 00:03:08.110
we have a large population of different ethnic

00:03:08.110 --> 00:03:12.509
backgrounds, sexuality, and ages. Are you by

00:03:12.509 --> 00:03:15.750
chance bilingual? Well, sir, I'm not sure why

00:03:15.750 --> 00:03:17.990
you need that kind of information, but, well,

00:03:18.090 --> 00:03:21.509
it was only one time in summer camp. I considered

00:03:21.509 --> 00:03:27.969
it experimental. Have you ever wondered what

00:03:27.969 --> 00:03:30.169
something came about? Have you ever looked at

00:03:30.169 --> 00:03:32.289
something and said, hey, I wonder what the origin

00:03:32.289 --> 00:03:36.020
of that is? Well, so have we. That's why we give

00:03:36.020 --> 00:03:41.039
you The Origin of. The Origin of Velcro. George

00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:43.900
D. Mestral found inspiration in his most famous

00:03:43.900 --> 00:03:46.300
invention in those annoying little burrs that

00:03:46.300 --> 00:03:48.699
can get stuck to your clothing after a walk in

00:03:48.699 --> 00:03:50.860
the woods. They came from the burdock plant,

00:03:50.979 --> 00:03:54.000
and when D. Mestral put them under a microscope,

00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:56.199
he realized that they made use of little tiny

00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.539
hooks on the surface of the burr to grab onto

00:03:59.539 --> 00:04:03.500
whatever passes by. Hey, good kid. No one gives

00:04:03.500 --> 00:04:05.379
an ounce of shit what you had for breakfast.

00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.240
Not even the person on the other end. You look

00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.819
like a mentally slow driv yelling into thin air

00:04:10.819 --> 00:04:12.919
all through the store. I pray that Bluetooth

00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.919
shorts out and blows up your eardrums. What men

00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.660
consider self -centered dunce. Bonnie constantly

00:04:18.660 --> 00:04:21.500
coddled this dummy and it fucking shows. Go look

00:04:21.500 --> 00:04:23.879
back home and bore your dog. Wait, you probably

00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:25.939
forgot the thieving because you're too busy looking

00:04:25.939 --> 00:04:29.810
in the mirror all day. Fuck off. Hey, my fellow

00:04:29.810 --> 00:04:33.750
heavy breathers, this is Dash Riptide, your music

00:04:33.750 --> 00:04:38.730
news. Legendary guitarist Zach Wilde unretires

00:04:38.730 --> 00:04:41.730
the Grail, the 1981 Gibbs and Les Paul for the

00:04:41.730 --> 00:04:45.410
new Ozzy Osbourne tribute track. You know this

00:04:45.410 --> 00:04:47.870
guitar. It's the bullseye Les Paul he made famous

00:04:47.870 --> 00:04:50.769
in the first few years of joining Ozzy. The Grail,

00:04:50.769 --> 00:04:53.610
as the guitar is known as, Zach is unretiring

00:04:53.610 --> 00:04:55.930
the beauty for a tribute track saluting the Prince

00:04:55.930 --> 00:04:58.490
of Darkness. No word on when or how the song

00:04:58.490 --> 00:05:00.850
will hit the public. We will keep you posted.

00:05:01.370 --> 00:05:04.509
This is Gash Ruktine, and that was your music

00:05:04.509 --> 00:05:07.550
news. If it's too loud, you probably have ear

00:05:07.550 --> 00:05:19.870
damage, just like me. Here we go. Okay. All right.

00:05:19.910 --> 00:05:23.389
This is Two Douchebags and Microphone, alternate

00:05:23.389 --> 00:05:28.370
universe edition. A never -ending series. Never

00:05:28.370 --> 00:05:32.290
-ending series. You know, I have to go into this

00:05:32.290 --> 00:05:34.930
because we won another award, Topher. We did.

00:05:35.370 --> 00:05:38.810
I heard that we were nominated for this one,

00:05:38.889 --> 00:05:41.129
and I'm really impressed that we got this one.

00:05:41.170 --> 00:05:44.470
This is awesome. Yeah, I am too. I couldn't believe

00:05:44.470 --> 00:05:48.730
it. Out of all the people, all the podcasts,

00:05:48.850 --> 00:05:52.209
if they could have... you know, gave the award

00:05:52.209 --> 00:05:54.829
to, we actually got it. Yeah. I mean, millions

00:05:54.829 --> 00:05:57.209
of them, and we actually won it. Yeah, this was

00:05:57.209 --> 00:06:00.069
a worldwide category. Oh, yeah, very much so.

00:06:00.509 --> 00:06:05.930
Crazy, because this is a very prestigious, best

00:06:05.930 --> 00:06:08.689
low -volume outdoor left -handed podcast among

00:06:08.689 --> 00:06:12.189
people who left their home early in the morning

00:06:12.189 --> 00:06:14.350
while humming the Frasier theme song wearing

00:06:14.350 --> 00:06:18.389
their large rubber gloves. Yeah. And that is

00:06:18.389 --> 00:06:20.860
one, I mean... And that's a... That's an audience

00:06:20.860 --> 00:06:22.980
we've been chasing since the beginning. Oh, I

00:06:22.980 --> 00:06:25.199
know. That was our key demographic. Yeah. They

00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:27.519
download podcasts. They download a lot of podcasts.

00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:29.439
Oh, they do. Yeah. Something about the rubber

00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.819
gloves and all that. Yeah. And then the left

00:06:32.819 --> 00:06:35.819
-handed and singing the Frasier theme song. Frasier

00:06:35.819 --> 00:06:38.319
theme song. Yeah. There aren't all that many

00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:40.879
left -handed podcasts out there. No, there isn't.

00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:44.720
That's right. Thank you. So the pictures will

00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:52.360
ensue here. Appreciate it. Move my coffee over

00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:55.920
this way. There we go. It's a little chilly down

00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:57.920
here this morning. I think this coffee is going

00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:04.060
to help immensely. I want coffee. I want more

00:07:04.060 --> 00:07:10.720
coffee. So, kind of a... cloudy, foggy, gloomy

00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:12.379
kind of day. I think they're running some sort

00:07:12.379 --> 00:07:14.500
of weather experiment today. Yeah, they said

00:07:14.500 --> 00:07:16.379
they're going to. Yeah, because you notice the

00:07:16.379 --> 00:07:21.139
fog kind of smells like battery acid and stale

00:07:21.139 --> 00:07:23.579
broccoli, doesn't it? Yeah, I normally like that

00:07:23.579 --> 00:07:25.600
smell, but today, I don't know. Yeah, it's just

00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:27.939
a little off. It's a little weird. Oh, those

00:07:27.939 --> 00:07:32.480
are yours. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Oh,

00:07:32.579 --> 00:07:37.019
a knacker. Oh, a knacker. Mmm. Fried pickle.

00:07:37.220 --> 00:07:40.670
Mmm. Hey, we could do a spontaneous little segment

00:07:40.670 --> 00:07:42.889
here. Guess what? We're eating. Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:07:44.529 --> 00:07:47.230
So, sorry, we're both starved, so, you know.

00:07:48.910 --> 00:07:56.389
Podcast come second. All righty, then. Well,

00:07:56.430 --> 00:07:58.329
I've got a few interesting stories I hope you'll

00:07:58.329 --> 00:08:00.069
find interesting. All right, go ahead, and I'm

00:08:00.069 --> 00:08:03.569
going to try to post our very prestigious award.

00:08:03.990 --> 00:08:10.540
Okay. I found an interesting article that talked

00:08:10.540 --> 00:08:15.420
about which cars Missourians love. Oh, I like

00:08:15.420 --> 00:08:20.560
it. And I learned that there are more cars than

00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.779
adults in the state of Missouri. I believe it.

00:08:24.779 --> 00:08:27.620
They're all on cinder blocks. It says more than

00:08:27.620 --> 00:08:30.560
5 million cars, trucks, and SUVs registered in

00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.139
Missouri, according to a January report from

00:08:33.139 --> 00:08:35.899
the Missouri Department of Revenue. But only

00:08:35.899 --> 00:08:40.000
4 .8 million people over the age of 18 call Missouri

00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:43.919
home. So there are 200 ,000 more cars than adults.

00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.639
All on cinder blocks. All on cinder blocks. Wow.

00:08:48.740 --> 00:08:51.259
Now, we have thousands of Hondas and Hummers

00:08:51.259 --> 00:08:54.259
and Mazdas and Mini Coupers and all those various

00:08:54.259 --> 00:08:57.919
times. But there's some really interesting and

00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:01.080
unique vehicles registered in Missouri. Okay.

00:09:01.139 --> 00:09:05.490
There is a grand total of one. Mini Cooper truck

00:09:05.490 --> 00:09:09.889
registered in Missouri. Okay, did you know there

00:09:09.889 --> 00:09:11.509
was such a thing? I didn't even know there was

00:09:11.509 --> 00:09:12.809
such a thing. I didn't either. It's probably

00:09:12.809 --> 00:09:16.409
been one or two years. Now, it could be a Wings

00:09:16.409 --> 00:09:19.549
Team custom truck that was designed to advertise

00:09:19.549 --> 00:09:22.730
Red Bull. Oh, okay. Or it could be the teeny

00:09:22.730 --> 00:09:26.929
tiny 11 -foot long Mini Pickup. Ah, okay. Yeah,

00:09:27.009 --> 00:09:31.279
they're not sure. Okay. As far as three -wheeled

00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:34.480
vehicles, you can find 10 tricycles listed as

00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:39.580
Vespa. Three -wheeled Vespas. I had no idea Vespa

00:09:39.580 --> 00:09:41.440
made a three -wheeler. Me neither. Maybe it's

00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.279
a custom job. I don't know. I mean, why would

00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:47.019
you need a three -wheeled Vespa? I wouldn't think

00:09:47.019 --> 00:09:50.259
so. I mean, that's basically a glorified minibike.

00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:56.090
Yeah. Yeah. Wow. As far as Tesla's politically

00:09:56.090 --> 00:09:58.389
charged electric vehicle, the Cybertruck, there

00:09:58.389 --> 00:10:01.710
are 564 Tesla trucks registered in the state.

00:10:03.110 --> 00:10:07.250
Wow. In addition, there are 611 Volkswagen trucks

00:10:07.250 --> 00:10:10.870
listed in the state. The German manufacturer

00:10:10.870 --> 00:10:12.970
cooked up a number of the unique -looking trucks

00:10:12.970 --> 00:10:14.470
over the years, including the one that looks

00:10:14.470 --> 00:10:17.730
like a truck bed stuck onto a VW bus front end.

00:10:18.110 --> 00:10:21.690
I remember seeing a few of those. I think I did,

00:10:21.730 --> 00:10:27.159
too. Yeah. But Missouri primarily loves American

00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:32.440
cars, specifically Ford and Chevrolet. Japan

00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:37.500
has a distant third. Between Ford and Chevrolet,

00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.539
that's more than a third of the cars in the state.

00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:45.399
That's quite a bit. That is. Now, they listed

00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.820
the top ten as far as number of vehicles registered,

00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:52.519
but they split up some vehicles by the same manufacturer.

00:10:53.389 --> 00:10:55.389
Which is weird because they have Chevrolet and

00:10:55.389 --> 00:10:59.509
they have GMC. Okay. And they have Jeep and they

00:10:59.509 --> 00:11:01.870
have Dodge. Those are both made by the same company.

00:11:02.129 --> 00:11:04.429
Yeah, that is weird why they did that. I'll read

00:11:04.429 --> 00:11:06.750
the top ten and then I'll combine them and do

00:11:06.750 --> 00:11:09.669
the... Okay, that'll work. Okay. So number one

00:11:09.669 --> 00:11:15.250
is Ford with 988 ,500 vehicles. Number two is

00:11:15.250 --> 00:11:19.690
Chevy with 902 ,600. Uh -huh. Third is Toyota

00:11:19.690 --> 00:11:25.279
with 466 ,000. Number four is Honda, $310 ,000.

00:11:26.620 --> 00:11:33.080
GMC with $266 ,000. Nissan with $248 ,000. Jeep,

00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.779
$241 ,000. Dodge, $236 ,000. I thought there

00:11:37.779 --> 00:11:43.299
had been more Jeeps. I would too. Kia, $156 ,000.

00:11:44.059 --> 00:11:49.039
Hyundai, $143 ,000. Now if you go back and you

00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:51.500
add together the ones that are by the same company.

00:11:53.319 --> 00:11:58.679
You come up with General Motors first with $1

00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:06.720
,169 ,000. Ford second with $988 ,000. Stellantis

00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:15.840
third with $478 ,000. Really? So that's Dodge

00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.539
and Jeep. Oh, all of them together. Gotcha. Okay.

00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:23.190
Toyota's still fourth. With $466 ,000. Honda

00:12:23.190 --> 00:12:28.389
fifth. Then Hyundai and Kia together move up

00:12:28.389 --> 00:12:33.149
from ninth to sixth with $299 ,000. And then

00:12:33.149 --> 00:12:37.330
that puts Nissan in last place. Wow. I didn't

00:12:37.330 --> 00:12:39.590
think Nissan would be in last place. I see so

00:12:39.590 --> 00:12:43.129
many of them, but okay. I wish I could find another

00:12:43.129 --> 00:12:45.690
version of this list where they added together

00:12:45.690 --> 00:12:50.889
Ford plus Lincoln. chevy plus cadillac plus gmc

00:12:50.889 --> 00:12:54.070
plus buick etc etc i mean add together all the

00:12:54.070 --> 00:12:57.730
brands coming out of that manufacturer so i would

00:12:57.730 --> 00:12:59.690
like to see a better better vision of this but

00:12:59.690 --> 00:13:02.590
i have a feeling that this one was designed to

00:13:02.590 --> 00:13:07.730
put ford number one yeah probably yeah they probably

00:13:07.730 --> 00:13:13.169
paid for it now as far as motorcycles harley

00:13:13.169 --> 00:13:17.659
-davidson is number one with 53 500. Honda's

00:13:17.659 --> 00:13:22.299
number two with $18 ,700. Kawasaki third with

00:13:22.299 --> 00:13:26.799
$9 ,500. Yamaha fourth with $8 ,300. And Suzuki

00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:32.279
didn't last with $4 ,800. Okay. And then you'll

00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:36.259
have brands like Ducati, Triumph, Indian, etc.

00:13:36.419 --> 00:13:39.259
that they left off the list because they weren't

00:13:39.259 --> 00:13:46.500
so bad. Okay. Was that it? That's it on that

00:13:46.500 --> 00:13:50.899
one. Okay. I'm still posting this. I'm sorry

00:13:50.899 --> 00:13:54.120
I've been listening and answering. Here's an

00:13:54.120 --> 00:14:00.440
update on the Paramount and Warner Discovery.

00:14:00.740 --> 00:14:02.940
They're trying to buy it. They're competing with

00:14:02.940 --> 00:14:07.700
Netflix. Well, Paramount has won its bid. Netflix

00:14:07.700 --> 00:14:12.379
is out. So Paramount has acquired Warner Brothers

00:14:12.379 --> 00:14:17.100
Discovery for... $108 million in cash, plus a

00:14:17.100 --> 00:14:21.940
bunch of other stuff. And now Paramount is announcing

00:14:21.940 --> 00:14:25.799
that Paramount Plus and HBO Max will merge into

00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:30.279
a single streaming service. Really? Yeah. Now,

00:14:30.299 --> 00:14:32.460
I tried to get more information on that, but

00:14:32.460 --> 00:14:35.000
it was locked behind a paywall. I would have

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.279
had to subscribe to the news service to get any

00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:40.740
more information, and I ain't doing that. Don't

00:14:40.740 --> 00:14:44.820
blame me. I wouldn't either. Yeah. So I guess

00:14:44.820 --> 00:14:48.200
the good news is if you subscribe to both, now

00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.600
you're going to have an under one payment. No,

00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:53.460
that's true. It'll probably cost you just as

00:14:53.460 --> 00:14:56.019
much to have access to the same amount of material.

00:14:57.139 --> 00:15:00.519
Companies don't merge like that just to save

00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:03.700
you money. It's not like the last reason they

00:15:03.700 --> 00:15:10.220
do it. Yeah. Hang on, I'm almost done here. You

00:15:10.220 --> 00:15:14.740
ready? Sorry, that was such a prestigious award

00:15:14.740 --> 00:15:16.919
I had to get right after. People need to know.

00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:21.820
We definitely wanted to capitalize on that. Definitely.

00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:25.580
That is actually great publicity, winning something

00:15:25.580 --> 00:15:34.759
like that. Yeah, yeah. All right. I have an AI

00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:37.639
list. Yeah, I've been doing this thing about...

00:15:37.980 --> 00:15:40.980
asking ai stuff you know stupid questions oh

00:15:40.980 --> 00:15:42.799
yeah and then telling you their answer but we've

00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:47.240
been quite surprised by the answers all the lists

00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:54.080
they gave us so far have been solid wow trying

00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:57.240
to lull us into a false sense of security well

00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:59.720
uh let's see what was the list i did last week

00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:04.710
um oh bad products or something yeah Yeah, they

00:16:04.710 --> 00:16:07.570
are. They're lulling us into false sense of security,

00:16:07.710 --> 00:16:11.669
I guarantee you. This is an AI parody list of

00:16:11.669 --> 00:16:15.409
how to tell people they're stupid without actually

00:16:15.409 --> 00:16:18.029
tipping your hat. That's a good plan. They'll

00:16:18.029 --> 00:16:20.070
be too stupid to understand. You're calling them

00:16:20.070 --> 00:16:24.649
stupid. All right. So this is a list that AI

00:16:24.649 --> 00:16:28.129
gave me. I've got to admit, this, again, is pretty

00:16:28.129 --> 00:16:32.470
good. The first one is, after consulting my internal

00:16:32.470 --> 00:16:43.470
paper review board, Wow, that was exciting. Are

00:16:43.470 --> 00:16:49.289
they still moving it? Yeah. I might just want

00:16:49.289 --> 00:16:51.450
to hit pause. All right, we're back. We're going

00:16:51.450 --> 00:16:56.029
to risk it. Okay. After consulting my internal

00:16:56.029 --> 00:17:01.049
peer review board, their hypothesis appears statistically

00:17:01.049 --> 00:17:07.789
unsupported. That one was really good because

00:17:07.789 --> 00:17:11.089
it was kind of nice, but then again, pretty much

00:17:11.089 --> 00:17:16.250
calling you stupid. Pretty much. Yep. The next

00:17:16.250 --> 00:17:19.130
one is, I admire your optimism. The facts, however,

00:17:19.349 --> 00:17:23.170
have politely declined to participate. I love

00:17:23.170 --> 00:17:26.950
that one. That's awesome. It is. How do you answer

00:17:26.950 --> 00:17:33.960
that? No kidding. Okay. The next one that it

00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:36.559
gave me, an AI parody list of how to tell someone

00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:40.200
they're stupid. Without them really realizing,

00:17:40.460 --> 00:17:43.779
you just call them stupid. The next one is, your

00:17:43.779 --> 00:17:47.660
logic has failed for an extension and will return

00:17:47.660 --> 00:17:51.579
when it's feeling more coherent. I like that

00:17:51.579 --> 00:18:00.690
one. Filed for an extension. I love that. Oh

00:18:00.690 --> 00:18:03.869
my gosh. Next one is, I'd like to commend you

00:18:03.869 --> 00:18:07.990
on your creativity, accuracy, meanwhile, set

00:18:07.990 --> 00:18:20.069
regrets. That one was flat. I liked it. Next

00:18:20.069 --> 00:18:23.410
one, you've achieved a rare form of conceptual

00:18:23.410 --> 00:18:28.250
minimalism. Very little of the concept remains.

00:18:32.779 --> 00:18:35.039
And they're not all gems, but they're all decent,

00:18:35.220 --> 00:18:38.279
you know. Yeah. Your argument is like a software

00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:42.220
beta full of interesting bugs. Well, that one

00:18:42.220 --> 00:18:45.539
was good. Yeah. Yeah, I think everyone old enough

00:18:45.539 --> 00:18:49.019
has realized, has done that, yeah. Yeah. Has

00:18:49.019 --> 00:18:54.140
had an issue like that in their path. If confidence

00:18:54.140 --> 00:18:57.819
were evident, if confidence were evidence, you'd

00:18:57.819 --> 00:19:00.819
have a mountain. Actual proof, on the other hand,

00:19:00.819 --> 00:19:05.539
is still a molehill. That might be my favorite.

00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:11.539
As of right now, that's probably my favorite.

00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:16.019
Brilliant enthusiasm, questionable data. Recommend

00:19:16.019 --> 00:19:19.599
rerun with fewer assumptions. Yep. That one is

00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:21.059
good. Have you heard that one before or not?

00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:25.700
It's similar to one I've heard where you tell

00:19:25.700 --> 00:19:28.450
the person... You're very passionate about what

00:19:28.450 --> 00:19:32.390
you believe, but you're not convincing. Oh, I

00:19:32.390 --> 00:19:38.410
love that. Yeah. I love that. So AI does plagiarize.

00:19:38.569 --> 00:19:44.130
Yeah. Oh, wait, we knew that. Oh, yeah. The next

00:19:44.130 --> 00:19:46.529
one, your point brought flair to the conversation.

00:19:47.210 --> 00:19:54.930
Truth, however, RSVP'd? No. That's good. That's

00:19:54.930 --> 00:19:56.910
really good. That's pretty much like... Nobody

00:19:56.910 --> 00:20:01.890
fucking wanted it and it was wrong anyhow. Consider

00:20:01.890 --> 00:20:07.029
this a general cognitive audit. Several line

00:20:07.029 --> 00:20:13.369
items require clarification. That one was blunt.

00:20:13.450 --> 00:20:17.390
I liked it. And then finally, I'm placing your

00:20:17.390 --> 00:20:20.089
thought in the experimental folder. Results pending

00:20:20.089 --> 00:20:27.769
further testing. Chatbot AI, thank you. There

00:20:27.769 --> 00:20:32.710
should be a way to something like, what a unique

00:20:32.710 --> 00:20:37.609
interpretation of the events. I don't think anyone

00:20:37.609 --> 00:20:39.829
else on the planet has come up with this exact

00:20:39.829 --> 00:20:42.670
interpretation of what's going on. I love that

00:20:42.670 --> 00:20:45.089
because if you're questioned, you go, I didn't

00:20:45.089 --> 00:20:46.930
say anything bad. No. I don't know what you're

00:20:46.930 --> 00:20:48.569
talking about. I just called you original in

00:20:48.569 --> 00:20:51.069
your thing. Yeah. You got a problem with it?

00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:57.200
Okay, do you want to go into any type of football

00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.200
and specifically Chiefs? Okay, we got a few things

00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:07.359
that came up besides the draft. So the first

00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:11.099
thing is Jawan Taylor was cut. The number 74

00:21:11.099 --> 00:21:15.779
is now available again on the Chiefs. Good. Who

00:21:15.779 --> 00:21:18.259
was the one that went to Cincinnati, wanted to

00:21:18.259 --> 00:21:23.829
go left? Was that Eric Fisher? No, that was a

00:21:23.829 --> 00:21:25.589
check. I know what you're talking about, but

00:21:25.589 --> 00:21:28.410
I can't think of it. Yeah, well, our problems

00:21:28.410 --> 00:21:30.490
began with him leaving. Yeah, I remember that.

00:21:31.069 --> 00:21:34.490
And then Jawan Taylor has not been a suitable

00:21:34.490 --> 00:21:39.670
replacement. No. So, what are your thoughts on

00:21:39.670 --> 00:21:41.730
that? It needed to happen. Absolutely needed

00:21:41.730 --> 00:21:44.789
to happen. We saved 20 million people. Yeah.

00:21:44.990 --> 00:21:47.089
Not people. I was reading this thing on people

00:21:47.089 --> 00:21:52.049
here. We saved $20 million. Yeah. He... He was

00:21:52.049 --> 00:21:54.410
horrible in crucial situations as a problem.

00:21:54.730 --> 00:21:57.190
Day -to -day, yeah, he made a few penalties.

00:21:57.269 --> 00:21:59.730
You could probably get over that day -to -day.

00:21:59.930 --> 00:22:05.029
But the problem is his key play, when it really

00:22:05.029 --> 00:22:08.549
counted, was subpar. So I believe that they could

00:22:08.549 --> 00:22:12.190
probably either address this in free agency with

00:22:12.190 --> 00:22:14.690
the same amount of money and upgrade, or they

00:22:14.690 --> 00:22:18.150
could do this as a draft pick. And I think it

00:22:18.150 --> 00:22:21.599
widely depends on who's available. So, well,

00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:25.359
I can't find the actual sheet I had of all the

00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:27.240
stuff, of the transactions. There's only like

00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:29.019
four of them that we're going to go over. So

00:22:29.019 --> 00:22:31.539
it's not that big a deal. And actually, it can

00:22:31.539 --> 00:22:35.539
wait until next. Oh, yeah, okay. Another thing

00:22:35.539 --> 00:22:40.319
is, is Travis Kelsey supposedly has a huge contract

00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:44.380
offer, not from the Chiefs, not from any other

00:22:44.380 --> 00:22:48.349
NFL team, but from the boot. All bad. The booth

00:22:48.349 --> 00:22:51.089
wants him in their bed because he's going to

00:22:51.089 --> 00:22:53.910
be talking about Tay -Tay. And they want him

00:22:53.910 --> 00:22:57.509
now because the timing's perfect with the upcoming

00:22:57.509 --> 00:23:01.089
wedding. He's hot. Next year, maybe he won't

00:23:01.089 --> 00:23:04.549
be so hot. They want him right now. Him and his

00:23:04.549 --> 00:23:06.769
agent are thinking about that, and Taylor, too.

00:23:06.950 --> 00:23:09.990
Yeah. Yeah, I figure it's going to come down

00:23:09.990 --> 00:23:14.349
to what's best for the combined Travis Kelsey,

00:23:14.609 --> 00:23:19.259
Taylor Swift. business going forward that's going

00:23:19.259 --> 00:23:22.519
to drive the decision now that he's getting married

00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:25.859
it's not just him yeah they're both making this

00:23:25.859 --> 00:23:31.160
decision so i'm going to say that like this new

00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:34.400
offer supposedly if it's true is going to get

00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:36.359
a help a lot of consideration for a couple of

00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:39.339
things number one the money i don't think that

00:23:39.339 --> 00:23:41.920
worried about yeah i think what they're worried

00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:46.819
about is his health oh yeah So, in my opinion,

00:23:46.859 --> 00:23:50.900
as much as I want him back, why wouldn't you

00:23:50.900 --> 00:23:55.059
go ahead and say, it's cool. Yeah. You've got

00:23:55.059 --> 00:23:58.039
Super Bowl rings. You've got respect. You're

00:23:58.039 --> 00:23:59.880
going into the Hall of Fame. You might be the

00:23:59.880 --> 00:24:01.819
greatest tight end ever. If not, you're definitely

00:24:01.819 --> 00:24:06.839
in the conversation. He's one bad kid away from

00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:09.859
never being able to walk properly and run with

00:24:09.859 --> 00:24:13.500
his kids. He's one bad concussion away from.

00:24:14.210 --> 00:24:17.309
not being fully mentally there for his wife and

00:24:17.309 --> 00:24:20.630
his kids. You got to think about that. You really

00:24:20.630 --> 00:24:23.609
do. Yeah, you do. And also, I'm more than sure

00:24:23.609 --> 00:24:26.990
that they want children. Uncle Trab is a very

00:24:26.990 --> 00:24:29.950
popular person amongst his brother and sister

00:24:29.950 --> 00:24:34.829
-in -law. So obviously he loves children. I'm

00:24:34.829 --> 00:24:37.589
pretty sure he wants children. And I'm pretty

00:24:37.589 --> 00:24:40.990
sure Taylor probably does too. And so they also

00:24:40.990 --> 00:24:44.549
have to coordinate all this. You know, they have

00:24:44.549 --> 00:24:45.990
to be like, okay, you're getting ready to do

00:24:45.990 --> 00:24:48.150
your tour, but when are we going to have these

00:24:48.150 --> 00:24:51.849
children? Yeah. So all of this, I think, is very

00:24:51.849 --> 00:24:56.769
contingent on exactly, you know, how many more

00:24:56.769 --> 00:24:58.809
years you're going to go about doing what you're

00:24:58.809 --> 00:25:01.470
doing. So I'm kind of thinking, I mean, as much

00:25:01.470 --> 00:25:04.589
as we would love to see him killing birds, as

00:25:04.589 --> 00:25:08.430
much as we'd love to see him back, I'm kind of

00:25:08.430 --> 00:25:10.170
leaning towards it's not going to happen now.

00:25:10.769 --> 00:25:14.220
Yeah, I would fully understand. And I would have

00:25:14.220 --> 00:25:16.220
absolutely no ill will feelings if he decided

00:25:16.220 --> 00:25:19.660
to hang it up. No, I wouldn't either. And also,

00:25:19.740 --> 00:25:22.740
if we were like just friends and he came up and

00:25:22.740 --> 00:25:24.660
said, Mark, you know, I'm really not sure what

00:25:24.660 --> 00:25:27.420
to do. My advice would be for him to retire.

00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:31.539
Mine too. Yeah, not being selfish. You know,

00:25:31.539 --> 00:25:33.660
not wanting another ring and all that stuff.

00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:37.220
Person to person caring about him. I'd have to

00:25:37.220 --> 00:25:41.609
say, dude. Yeah. Go on. Especially since. It's

00:25:41.609 --> 00:25:44.470
no longer the situation where you make it to

00:25:44.470 --> 00:25:46.630
the NFL and you're starring in the NFL and that's

00:25:46.630 --> 00:25:49.109
what sets you up with all your wealth for life.

00:25:49.309 --> 00:25:51.690
No, this is just another stepping stone. There's

00:25:51.690 --> 00:25:54.670
a crap ton more money to be made. Kelsey's going

00:25:54.670 --> 00:25:57.690
to be like The Rock. The Rock did really well

00:25:57.690 --> 00:25:59.609
in wrestling, but nothing compared to how well

00:25:59.609 --> 00:26:02.329
he did in movies. Yeah, wrestling was his springboard.

00:26:02.430 --> 00:26:05.549
And for Kelsey, the NFL is definitely his springboard.

00:26:06.049 --> 00:26:09.569
And he's got the potential to make a crap ton

00:26:09.569 --> 00:26:13.920
of money. with his brother, with Taylor, by himself,

00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:17.119
just all sorts of ways. But if he gets banged

00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:19.039
in the head and can't talk right, all of that

00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:22.559
goes away. Yes. All of that. It's just a stupid

00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:25.079
risk. Yeah, so I'm kind of thinking that he's

00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:28.059
not going to. I mean, you know, we'll see. I

00:26:28.059 --> 00:26:31.980
mean, sometimes the will and the want to win

00:26:31.980 --> 00:26:34.440
another Super Bowl, to be with your buddies,

00:26:34.619 --> 00:26:40.839
I mean, we can't. You can't stress enough about

00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:43.319
how that camaraderie and how you love those people

00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:45.460
you're in the locker room with. Yeah. And it

00:26:45.460 --> 00:26:47.440
would definitely take a hell of an adjustment

00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:55.240
to be, you know, to just be like, okay, I'm willing

00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:58.099
to give all that up. Yeah. Because, I mean, there's

00:26:58.099 --> 00:27:00.019
also the thing of not being with your friends,

00:27:00.059 --> 00:27:01.779
not being on the road with them, not being at

00:27:01.779 --> 00:27:05.759
home, you know, at home games with them, missing

00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:08.319
the crowd, all that stuff. So it's not going

00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:10.380
to be easy. We kind of make it sound like it's

00:27:10.380 --> 00:27:13.460
a no -brainer, but no. No, he's been involved

00:27:13.460 --> 00:27:16.799
in football heavily in a year -round basis basically

00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:19.559
since he was a little kid. Yeah. And now he's

00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:21.740
got to live in a different world. That's going

00:27:21.740 --> 00:27:24.980
to be tough. It's going to be scary. Yeah. So,

00:27:25.099 --> 00:27:27.359
anyhow, we wish him the best. I mean, I don't

00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:29.299
know what else to say about that. I mean, there's

00:27:29.299 --> 00:27:31.319
a lot to consider, and that's what we're saying

00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:34.859
right here. But, yeah, that whole offer thing

00:27:34.859 --> 00:27:38.119
that I read, I'm like, wow. That changes everything.

00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:40.400
It really does. Because I didn't know they actually

00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:42.720
came out with it. I'm assuming the story is true.

00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:45.859
Yeah. I looked it up. I found nothing that contradicts

00:27:45.859 --> 00:27:47.420
it that says, no, that's not true or anything

00:27:47.420 --> 00:27:51.059
like that. Yeah. And I think it was Fox, which

00:27:51.059 --> 00:27:53.079
is interesting because they're going to put him

00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:56.009
with Tom Brady and the other guy. Wow. Or is

00:27:56.009 --> 00:27:59.289
he going to be on the field analyst? Oh, you

00:27:59.289 --> 00:28:01.069
know, they might break him in for a year on the

00:28:01.069 --> 00:28:03.809
sideline. That's what I'm wondering, too. Hobnobbing

00:28:03.809 --> 00:28:06.549
with his, you know, former teammates and guys

00:28:06.549 --> 00:28:09.509
he knows well. Yeah, I could see them putting

00:28:09.509 --> 00:28:11.190
him right down there in the thick of things for

00:28:11.190 --> 00:28:13.170
the first year. I want to see him punch Gronk

00:28:13.170 --> 00:28:17.630
in the dick. Yeah. I mean, not mean, just do

00:28:17.630 --> 00:28:20.509
it. Just walk up, hey, Gronk, what's up? Oh,

00:28:20.509 --> 00:28:24.109
you got me, you bastard. Give him a towel flick.

00:28:24.329 --> 00:28:33.609
Oh, yeah. So, anyhow, I have some draft stuff

00:28:33.609 --> 00:28:35.690
here, but, I mean, we can go into something you

00:28:35.690 --> 00:28:38.089
want to do. This is the alternate universe, so

00:28:38.089 --> 00:28:42.130
we can break it up. It doesn't have to be all

00:28:42.130 --> 00:28:45.410
sports all the way through. Well, I had an interesting...

00:28:47.939 --> 00:28:51.220
Interesting video crossed my path. Recently,

00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:55.460
the CEO of McDonald's, a guy named Chris Kempzinski,

00:28:55.740 --> 00:28:59.720
went viral on social media after appearing deeply

00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:02.819
unenthusiastic about eating one of his own burgers.

00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:07.839
In the video Kempzinski posted on February 3rd,

00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:11.799
2026 to Instagram, the CEO filmed himself eating

00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.670
the new Big Arch burger. After introducing the

00:29:15.670 --> 00:29:17.509
burger and reassuring viewers that he would be

00:29:17.509 --> 00:29:19.690
eating it for his lunch later, Kim Zizzi opened

00:29:19.690 --> 00:29:22.529
the box and said, holy cow, with seeming excitement.

00:29:23.089 --> 00:29:25.269
However, that excitement was short -lived as

00:29:25.269 --> 00:29:27.210
he tried to remember all the ingredients went

00:29:27.210 --> 00:29:30.650
into the burger and called it a product instead

00:29:30.650 --> 00:29:34.150
of food or a meal or a sandwich or a burger.

00:29:34.230 --> 00:29:37.329
He called it product. That was very well thought

00:29:37.329 --> 00:29:43.109
of. Gosh, that was like... He grabbed the ball

00:29:43.109 --> 00:29:45.390
from the quarterback and promptly fell down.

00:29:45.529 --> 00:29:49.430
Yep. Wow. He's letting us know that at the corporate

00:29:49.430 --> 00:29:52.289
level, it's not even considered food. It's just

00:29:52.289 --> 00:29:55.430
the thing they sell to make money. Which is very

00:29:55.430 --> 00:29:57.990
scary. Think about that. It's just like, what

00:29:57.990 --> 00:30:00.799
did you put in this product? Yep. Oh, this red

00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:03.440
pink slime or whatever. Remember that stuff?

00:30:03.740 --> 00:30:05.859
I don't know if they still do that. It's like

00:30:05.859 --> 00:30:08.960
the guy from Campbell's Soup the other day that

00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:11.119
was ranting about, I don't eat Campbell's Soup.

00:30:11.140 --> 00:30:13.160
That's poor people food. You think I'm eating

00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:16.380
a can of shit with like 3D printed chicken in

00:30:16.380 --> 00:30:21.220
it? I eat real food, not this crap. The cluelessness

00:30:21.220 --> 00:30:25.980
of corporate America. Oh. Anyway, so while he

00:30:25.980 --> 00:30:28.299
technically did eat a bite of the burger, he

00:30:28.299 --> 00:30:30.799
barely committed to it. He took a tiny bite,

00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:33.819
a little bit of the top bun, maybe a little bit

00:30:33.819 --> 00:30:35.579
of the meat, and a little bit of the bottom bun.

00:30:36.779 --> 00:30:38.799
And he seemed to have a moment of realization

00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:42.119
of what he was tasting before suddenly switching

00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:45.299
to nodding and excitedly describing as what he

00:30:45.299 --> 00:30:49.089
just ate as a big bite for the Big Arch. So he

00:30:49.089 --> 00:30:51.250
took a bite. You could see it on his face. Oh,

00:30:51.349 --> 00:30:53.509
God, this is shit. And then he just switched

00:30:53.509 --> 00:30:56.109
on the acting mode. I remind everybody, he knows

00:30:56.109 --> 00:30:59.410
what's in this. He knows what's in it. Now, others

00:30:59.410 --> 00:31:02.289
focused on the word choice. One commenter on

00:31:02.289 --> 00:31:04.990
social media wrote, when the CEO calls it product

00:31:04.990 --> 00:31:07.930
instead of food, you know it's got less nutritional

00:31:07.930 --> 00:31:13.119
value than the napkin. Yes. And some users went

00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:15.519
further explaining that this was the best possible

00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:18.259
McDonald's burger they could provide for the

00:31:18.259 --> 00:31:22.259
video. NickTopG tweeted, even crazier when you

00:31:22.259 --> 00:31:25.819
think that this was made in McDonald's headquarters

00:31:25.819 --> 00:31:29.700
by corporate chefs. This burger, I mean product,

00:31:30.019 --> 00:31:32.539
is worlds better than anything you would ever

00:31:32.539 --> 00:31:35.019
get at an actual McDonald's and he still wanted

00:31:35.019 --> 00:31:39.579
nothing to do with it. And perhaps the sharpest

00:31:39.579 --> 00:31:42.630
summary came from... Another viewer who wrote,

00:31:42.809 --> 00:31:46.269
watching the McDonald's CEO tentatively nibble

00:31:46.269 --> 00:31:48.609
on the Big Arch like it's a radioactive artifact

00:31:48.609 --> 00:31:51.829
from the dollar menu, calling it product instead

00:31:51.829 --> 00:31:54.210
of food, is the most unintentionally hilarious

00:31:54.210 --> 00:32:00.289
endorsement fail since New Coke. Oh, that's getting

00:32:00.289 --> 00:32:03.150
below the belt. There was never a bigger flop

00:32:03.150 --> 00:32:06.359
in America than New Coke. But the weird thing

00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:09.000
is they didn't have to put this video out. They

00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:10.759
didn't have to make it. They didn't have to put

00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:12.519
it out. They didn't have to leave it up there

00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:15.079
for all this time for it to become a viral sensation.

00:32:16.259 --> 00:32:19.220
Just the total disconnect from corporate culture

00:32:19.220 --> 00:32:22.059
versus the real world is stunning. Oh, it is.

00:32:22.460 --> 00:32:24.980
And then before we get done, I want to make a

00:32:24.980 --> 00:32:27.880
comment about New Coke. Hey, thank you. Oh, yeah,

00:32:27.900 --> 00:32:29.880
doing great. Hey, you guys got any specials or

00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:31.619
anything going on? Same specials that we were

00:32:31.619 --> 00:32:33.259
rolling before, the red velvet and the cherry

00:32:33.259 --> 00:32:36.490
cheesecake. Okay, good. Yeah, we'll probably

00:32:36.490 --> 00:32:38.589
keep it until late spring, early summer, and

00:32:38.589 --> 00:32:40.730
start this time with specials. That's a sandwich

00:32:40.730 --> 00:32:43.450
with their pickled red cabbage. The barbecue

00:32:43.450 --> 00:32:46.890
beef sandwich. Oh, that was so good. Fried onion

00:32:46.890 --> 00:32:49.849
ring on it, sweet baby raisin. Oh, is that sweet

00:32:49.849 --> 00:32:52.450
baby raisin? Okay, man, that is so good. Then

00:32:52.450 --> 00:32:55.730
we got the corned beef breakfast sandwich. Oh,

00:32:55.730 --> 00:32:59.690
yeah? It's on everything bagel. It's got sliced

00:32:59.690 --> 00:33:03.250
corned beef and a fried egg on it. That's really

00:33:03.250 --> 00:33:06.470
good. And it's just called the corned beef breakfast

00:33:06.470 --> 00:33:09.970
sandwich. All right. We get hungry. I might order

00:33:09.970 --> 00:33:15.049
one. We'll see. All right. Thank you. New Coke.

00:33:15.210 --> 00:33:18.970
Oh, okay. New Coke. Actually, that wasn't a flop.

00:33:19.109 --> 00:33:22.289
And let me explain. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It was deliberately

00:33:22.289 --> 00:33:27.059
designed to do that. Yep. Coca -Cola new. that

00:33:27.059 --> 00:33:30.059
they sold 10 times more than Pepsi or anything

00:33:30.059 --> 00:33:32.920
else. They are the king of all beverages, without

00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:36.599
a doubt. They knew this. They know that they

00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:39.500
have all these people that love it. And they

00:33:39.500 --> 00:33:41.480
know that even though someone might go to Pepsi

00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:43.640
temporarily because they think that they like

00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:45.539
it better because of the challenge and all that,

00:33:46.059 --> 00:33:49.240
it doesn't matter. It does not matter because

00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:53.119
they knew that if they took it away, there would

00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:56.299
be outrage. And there was. They're like, oh,

00:33:56.339 --> 00:33:59.279
Pepsi got us. We're taking it away. And then

00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:01.500
they came out with New Coke, which was horrible.

00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:05.259
And the world went ballistic. Yep. There were

00:34:05.259 --> 00:34:08.199
people screaming, bring us back a New Coke. There

00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:11.340
were death threats to the CEO. Yes. Actual death

00:34:11.340 --> 00:34:15.710
threats. Yes. So, I mean, I know everybody views

00:34:15.710 --> 00:34:18.110
it as a flop. That was one of the most brilliant

00:34:18.110 --> 00:34:21.329
marketing campaigns ever. They took what would

00:34:21.329 --> 00:34:23.050
have been the most brilliant marketing campaign

00:34:23.050 --> 00:34:26.389
ever with a Pepsi challenge and turned it around

00:34:26.389 --> 00:34:29.309
and made it to their best marketing campaign

00:34:29.309 --> 00:34:32.090
ever. Yeah, I remember at the time there was

00:34:32.090 --> 00:34:35.030
some speculation that Coke had bought a batch

00:34:35.030 --> 00:34:38.059
of really foul -tasting ingredients. and they

00:34:38.059 --> 00:34:40.940
needed a way to use it up, so they invented new

00:34:40.940 --> 00:34:44.079
Coke to explain why their Coke tasted different

00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:46.519
so they could use up this product. I read that

00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:49.840
too. But it makes more sense that the whole thing

00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:53.179
was designed to show people, do you really want

00:34:53.179 --> 00:34:54.780
Pepsi? Because if you do, we're going to take

00:34:54.780 --> 00:34:57.300
Coke away, and now what do you want? And that's

00:34:57.300 --> 00:35:00.239
why I went ahead and looked that up, was because

00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:03.360
of what you just said. Yeah. I read like it was,

00:35:03.519 --> 00:35:06.949
I read that. I also read they had some sort of

00:35:06.949 --> 00:35:08.730
a toxic chemical in there that they had to get

00:35:08.730 --> 00:35:11.989
rid of that they didn't necessarily have listed

00:35:11.989 --> 00:35:14.730
in the ingredients. And I'm not saying any of

00:35:14.730 --> 00:35:17.650
this is true, and I really doubt it, but they

00:35:17.650 --> 00:35:22.449
needed to get rid of it. And so they either goaded

00:35:22.449 --> 00:35:25.030
Pepsi into doing that by saying there's no way,

00:35:25.170 --> 00:35:28.949
you guys will never win, or they paid them. Yeah.

00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:32.519
And either one, I don't see. I really don't believe

00:35:32.519 --> 00:35:36.219
that's true. But I think it's as simple as that.

00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:38.619
It's like, take it away, like you said. Take

00:35:38.619 --> 00:35:42.420
it away and go, yep, you guys convinced us. Yep.

00:35:43.059 --> 00:35:45.880
I remember a line from a song where the singer

00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:49.760
said, if you can't live with it, let's see if

00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:52.300
you can live without it. And I think that's what

00:35:52.300 --> 00:35:54.099
Coke did. That is what they did. It was like,

00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:56.119
oh, you want to switch to Pepsi? You think Pepsi's

00:35:56.119 --> 00:35:58.619
cool? All right. Now Pepsi's your only girlfriend.

00:35:58.820 --> 00:36:00.860
See how you like it. Yeah, yeah. See now. Yep.

00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:03.239
We'll be back to your old mistress in no time.

00:36:03.300 --> 00:36:06.440
They were too. Yep. And if you're younger and

00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:08.380
you don't realize what we're talking about, just

00:36:08.380 --> 00:36:12.340
look up the Pepsi Challenge. Yep. So, all right.

00:36:12.340 --> 00:36:14.320
You got anything else on here? Or you got something

00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:16.659
else you want to go into? I've got a... Let's

00:36:16.659 --> 00:36:22.340
see. There's a couple things that could qualify

00:36:22.340 --> 00:36:26.139
as music. If we wanted to save it to there. Okay,

00:36:26.199 --> 00:36:33.679
well. Yeah. I've got one on StubHub. Oh, excellent.

00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:38.360
They fined a guy $3 ,000. For having a stub?

00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:43.179
Yes. Oh, okay. In his hub. Oh. Yeah, I'm not

00:36:43.179 --> 00:36:45.699
sure how that works, but he did it. So, okay,

00:36:45.780 --> 00:36:49.019
StubHub, they fined a man. They gave him a huge

00:36:49.019 --> 00:36:52.400
fine, more than $3 ,000, after uploading tickets.

00:36:53.910 --> 00:36:56.489
disappeared. He uploaded the tickets and he did

00:36:56.489 --> 00:37:00.730
it wrong. So it disappeared. Resell Giant blames

00:37:00.730 --> 00:37:03.130
ticket transfer rules and reimburses customer

00:37:03.130 --> 00:37:07.269
after no public inquiries but not until people

00:37:07.269 --> 00:37:09.869
went to them and said hey this is bullshit man

00:37:09.869 --> 00:37:12.730
you stole this money from this guy because he

00:37:12.730 --> 00:37:16.250
allegedly did it wrong. So it sounds to me like

00:37:16.250 --> 00:37:17.989
I wasn't there, but it sounds to me like they

00:37:17.989 --> 00:37:20.289
refused to refund his money, and then people

00:37:20.289 --> 00:37:22.130
found out about it, and they went public and

00:37:22.130 --> 00:37:24.809
started telling everybody. Because let's face

00:37:24.809 --> 00:37:30.250
it, StubHub, I hate them. They are, in my opinion,

00:37:30.349 --> 00:37:32.989
a horrible fucking company that rips people off.

00:37:33.150 --> 00:37:36.730
Their reason for existence is to steal from you,

00:37:36.809 --> 00:37:40.869
and they just barely pretend to be a legitimate

00:37:40.869 --> 00:37:46.099
business. Yeah, it's bullshit, and they've been

00:37:46.099 --> 00:37:49.079
investigated millions of times. As a matter of

00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:51.360
fact, they're in another lawsuit right now, and

00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:53.599
they know this. They don't care. It's time to

00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:56.559
realize they started as a crooked business, and

00:37:56.559 --> 00:37:58.480
they've been a crooked business all along, and

00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:00.139
they're going to keep going until they all get

00:38:00.139 --> 00:38:03.260
prosecuted or legislated out of business. But

00:38:03.260 --> 00:38:07.059
if you do business with StubHub, I don't think

00:38:07.059 --> 00:38:10.590
that's a very good choice. I don't either. And

00:38:10.590 --> 00:38:13.329
case in point is that the concert industry is

00:38:13.329 --> 00:38:16.210
contingent on how many tickets are sold. So nothing's

00:38:16.210 --> 00:38:19.190
guaranteed. StubHub knows this. And they know

00:38:19.190 --> 00:38:20.889
that they're going to get your money by doing

00:38:20.889 --> 00:38:23.170
stuff like, oh, this thing's almost sold out.

00:38:23.269 --> 00:38:25.769
Only a couple of tickets left. Come and get it

00:38:25.769 --> 00:38:27.849
right now. Oh, boy, this thing is selling fast.

00:38:28.190 --> 00:38:30.250
So everybody runs out and gets the tickets, but

00:38:30.250 --> 00:38:33.989
it wasn't selling, which is bullshit. The government

00:38:33.989 --> 00:38:37.570
needs to look into that, too. It wasn't selling.

00:38:37.710 --> 00:38:40.849
It didn't sell enough. It gets canceled. Then

00:38:40.849 --> 00:38:42.909
they should give your money back, right? Well,

00:38:43.030 --> 00:38:46.449
they don't. It's credit. They know this. And

00:38:46.449 --> 00:38:50.690
I urge anybody that don't do business with companies

00:38:50.690 --> 00:38:53.130
like this, let them go under. I think eventually

00:38:53.130 --> 00:38:55.210
there will come a class action lawsuit where

00:38:55.210 --> 00:38:58.210
businesses like this are going to get taken to

00:38:58.210 --> 00:39:00.789
court because what they're doing is basically

00:39:00.789 --> 00:39:04.719
using us as crowdfunding. Yes. For business ventures,

00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:07.699
and they're lying to us about a concert and tickets.

00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:11.139
Yeah. But the whole intent was to get our money,

00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:13.500
keep our money. I think it would be proven, too,

00:39:13.539 --> 00:39:15.179
by the body of work that they've done and how

00:39:15.179 --> 00:39:18.519
they've done it. A longtime Formula One race

00:39:18.519 --> 00:39:22.480
fan, Paul Mann, was in a bind. The Oakville,

00:39:22.500 --> 00:39:25.860
Ontario man had snapped up nine three -day passes

00:39:25.860 --> 00:39:30.440
for the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix, $840 each.

00:39:30.699 --> 00:39:38.130
Wow. Yeah. They had to opt out because his wife

00:39:38.130 --> 00:39:41.219
broke her leg skiing. And then everybody else

00:39:41.219 --> 00:39:43.000
that was going with him backed out because they

00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:45.340
wanted everybody to go probably, I guess, or

00:39:45.340 --> 00:39:49.500
whatever. So he was holding seven pricely passes

00:39:49.500 --> 00:39:52.280
that he couldn't use. So the only option is to

00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:54.199
sell them. I mean, that's a lot of money. If

00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:56.900
it's like $30 a piece or something, I could see

00:39:56.900 --> 00:39:59.440
being like, well, all right, it's a loss, whatever.

00:39:59.579 --> 00:40:02.880
But this right here, $3 ,000. So he turned to

00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:05.280
StubHub to sell them. The ticket resale giant

00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:07.460
already had other Formula One tickets listed

00:40:07.460 --> 00:40:11.000
and marked it as a safe middleman for buyers

00:40:11.000 --> 00:40:15.440
and sellers. It's fan protect guarantee is the

00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:19.880
promise that they give you. And as long as the

00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:22.000
users, this is what they said about this guy

00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:26.900
here, this Mr. Man. They said, as long as the

00:40:26.900 --> 00:40:30.599
users follow the rules. Okay, so this is their...

00:40:31.530 --> 00:40:35.630
get out clause until people raised hell. It is

00:40:35.630 --> 00:40:38.929
a big ticket reseller, most common name out there

00:40:38.929 --> 00:40:41.429
for ticket reselling, unfortunately. Mann told

00:40:41.429 --> 00:40:44.030
GoPublic, it seemed like the best choice and

00:40:44.030 --> 00:40:47.230
honestly the safest choice. I get that. Mann

00:40:47.230 --> 00:40:49.610
did exactly what StubHub told him to do, uploading

00:40:49.610 --> 00:40:52.989
the tickets to the site as directed. But when

00:40:52.989 --> 00:40:55.809
they sold, the money didn't come. Instead of

00:40:55.809 --> 00:40:58.929
getting the more than $6 ,000 he was owed, StubHub

00:40:58.929 --> 00:41:01.469
refused to pay and then hit him with an additional

00:41:01.469 --> 00:41:08.090
$3 ,200 in penalties. Greedy. Yeah. Accusing

00:41:08.090 --> 00:41:10.210
him of failing to deliver the tickets he'd already

00:41:10.210 --> 00:41:13.889
uploaded to the site. Oh my. Isn't that fucked

00:41:13.889 --> 00:41:16.650
up? Yeah. I was shocked he said, something that

00:41:16.650 --> 00:41:18.909
should be simple turned out to be unreliable

00:41:18.909 --> 00:41:21.050
and so difficult to resolve. I agree with that.

00:41:21.510 --> 00:41:23.409
All he should have had to have done was went

00:41:23.409 --> 00:41:25.570
to him and said, hey, I sold these tickets and

00:41:25.570 --> 00:41:27.590
you never gave me the money. It was a misunderstanding.

00:41:28.110 --> 00:41:30.750
Give me my money. But no, they had to argue with

00:41:30.750 --> 00:41:33.250
him and he had to go to this GoPublic forum to

00:41:33.250 --> 00:41:36.809
get him to do what was right. Man's experience

00:41:36.809 --> 00:41:39.429
reveals problems with third -party ticket platforms

00:41:39.429 --> 00:41:42.179
and transfer restrictions. Buried in the fine

00:41:42.179 --> 00:41:44.960
print. See, this is how they get you. They go,

00:41:45.059 --> 00:41:46.639
well, it's all in there. Oh, you mean the 30

00:41:46.639 --> 00:41:49.159
pages? Yeah, it's in there. That you can't even

00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:52.840
understand even if you did read it? Yes. Lawyers

00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:55.920
do that on purpose. Yeah. Fucking bloodsucker.

00:41:56.659 --> 00:41:59.460
Okay, that can lead to tickets being cancelled,

00:41:59.579 --> 00:42:03.039
says Evan Light, an associate professor at the

00:42:03.039 --> 00:42:05.699
University of Toronto who studies digital platforms.

00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:10.480
Live revealed StubHub's global user agreement.

00:42:10.940 --> 00:42:13.860
for go public the noted language stated that

00:42:13.860 --> 00:42:17.019
a company does not guarantee the existence quality

00:42:17.019 --> 00:42:21.719
safety or legality legality of tickets so they

00:42:21.719 --> 00:42:23.960
could sell you they could sell you fake tickets

00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:26.440
straight up counterfeit and say hey we told you

00:42:26.440 --> 00:42:32.380
it's in the 30 pages they uh they absolve themselves

00:42:32.380 --> 00:42:35.039
from any responsibility for anything he said

00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:39.210
the text is quite amazing on this thing wow After

00:42:39.210 --> 00:42:42.250
being contacted by Co -Public, StubHub acknowledged

00:42:42.250 --> 00:42:44.829
that System incorrectly guided Mann and shouldn't

00:42:44.829 --> 00:42:46.929
have told him to upload the tickets, claiming

00:42:46.929 --> 00:42:49.210
his problems on transfer restrictions put in

00:42:49.210 --> 00:42:53.090
key place by race organizers. But it does not

00:42:53.090 --> 00:42:56.070
say if they reimbursed him. No. It's probably

00:42:56.070 --> 00:42:58.150
still pending. I think it's still pending. Yeah.

00:42:58.210 --> 00:43:00.949
Yeah, so there you go. I've never liked StubHub.

00:43:01.010 --> 00:43:05.190
This is my opinion. I can say my opinion. I've

00:43:05.190 --> 00:43:06.849
never liked them, always thought them to be a

00:43:06.849 --> 00:43:10.690
rip -off organization. And in my opinion, this

00:43:10.690 --> 00:43:15.130
proves it. You know, this reminds me of the whole

00:43:15.130 --> 00:43:17.809
rebate scam that went on for the longest time.

00:43:18.929 --> 00:43:21.429
You'd buy a product and they say, you know, pay

00:43:21.429 --> 00:43:25.829
$100 and there's a $25 rebate. But you have to

00:43:25.829 --> 00:43:28.349
send away for it. Menards. Yeah, you have to

00:43:28.349 --> 00:43:30.550
follow all these restrictions. Fuck Menards.

00:43:30.849 --> 00:43:34.019
And you have to wait four to six weeks. So best

00:43:34.019 --> 00:43:37.179
case scenario, you were loaning them $25 for

00:43:37.179 --> 00:43:40.539
four to six weeks, interest free. Worst case

00:43:40.539 --> 00:43:42.920
scenario is something I ran into a couple of

00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:49.719
times. I'd send in the rebate material and they'd

00:43:49.719 --> 00:43:52.179
send it back saying this was incorrectly done.

00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:54.760
Please reread the instructions and resubmit.

00:43:54.900 --> 00:43:56.940
Now they didn't tell me what I did wrong. They

00:43:56.940 --> 00:43:58.260
just said go back and read the instructions.

00:43:59.199 --> 00:44:01.639
And the instructions were vague and could be

00:44:01.639 --> 00:44:04.099
interpreted several different ways. So I thought,

00:44:04.179 --> 00:44:06.159
well, maybe I'll try it this other way. Maybe

00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:08.559
it means this. So I tried it again. They sent

00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:11.360
it back again, same reason. So I tried it a different

00:44:11.360 --> 00:44:13.860
way, sent it in. They sent it back saying rebate

00:44:13.860 --> 00:44:18.929
time has expired. For the cost of sending me

00:44:18.929 --> 00:44:20.909
three letters, they got to keep my 25 bucks.

00:44:21.110 --> 00:44:23.170
Fucking assholes. Yep, and that was the plan

00:44:23.170 --> 00:44:25.210
all along. We're looking to be like Menards.

00:44:25.590 --> 00:44:29.329
And this is all allegedly, in my opinion, but

00:44:29.329 --> 00:44:34.349
we bought a whole new bathroom. You know, everything

00:44:34.349 --> 00:44:36.650
from the stool, everything. We bought a whole

00:44:36.650 --> 00:44:39.269
new bathroom, including the tile that goes on

00:44:39.269 --> 00:44:44.779
the floor and the wall. And the huge... shower,

00:44:44.779 --> 00:44:48.179
a shower bench for my mom. All this stuff, all

00:44:48.179 --> 00:44:50.139
the bells and whistles. We should have gotten

00:44:50.139 --> 00:44:52.880
back probably about 300 and some dollars in rebates.

00:44:52.980 --> 00:44:56.880
Yeah. Never came to us. When we called the Menards

00:44:56.880 --> 00:44:59.960
and Belton. Yeah. Oh, that's corporate. We don't

00:44:59.960 --> 00:45:02.420
know. When you call corporate, it's like, okay,

00:45:02.659 --> 00:45:05.420
we'll check into that. Yeah, yeah. And then they

00:45:05.420 --> 00:45:08.010
say, okay, we'll send you out another. And then

00:45:08.010 --> 00:45:10.710
it doesn't show up. Then you call again, and

00:45:10.710 --> 00:45:12.989
they're like, well, it said it was sent out here

00:45:12.989 --> 00:45:15.030
or something, and then you never get it. It's

00:45:15.030 --> 00:45:18.449
like, well, check and see if the check is cashed.

00:45:18.449 --> 00:45:21.710
If it's not canceled, send me another one. Nothing.

00:45:22.510 --> 00:45:25.099
Yeah. And they're going to keep doing that knowing

00:45:25.099 --> 00:45:27.340
that you can't afford to take them to court because

00:45:27.340 --> 00:45:29.420
they'll drag it out for five years and cost you

00:45:29.420 --> 00:45:31.039
several hundred thousand in legal fees. Yeah,

00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:33.179
whenever you hear rebate, don't fucking believe

00:45:33.179 --> 00:45:35.239
it in my opinion. No, rebates are, unless it's

00:45:35.239 --> 00:45:38.159
an instant rebate where they take the money off

00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:40.840
right then and there, then no, I never fall for

00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:43.119
it. No, me neither. I've been ripped off way

00:45:43.119 --> 00:45:48.659
too many times. Yep, me too. So, you got something?

00:45:50.340 --> 00:45:53.599
Yeah, I'm... I'm really curious to see how this

00:45:53.599 --> 00:45:56.380
Chicago Bears versus Indiana Bears situation

00:45:56.380 --> 00:46:00.480
shakes out. I pray to God that they change it

00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:02.699
to the Indiana Bears. I think that would be funny

00:46:02.699 --> 00:46:06.300
as hell. That would just be hilarious. I'm still

00:46:06.300 --> 00:46:08.940
seeing a few things about that whole situation,

00:46:08.980 --> 00:46:12.940
but oddly enough, the way it looks now, it really

00:46:12.940 --> 00:46:16.119
seems like Chicago was never really serious about

00:46:16.119 --> 00:46:23.960
Indiana and is using them as a threat. I'm reminded

00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:27.099
of a situation I've seen in TV shows where a

00:46:27.099 --> 00:46:31.719
guy is telling his wife to shape up and straighten

00:46:31.719 --> 00:46:33.619
up and be a better wife because his girlfriend

00:46:33.619 --> 00:46:35.539
on the side treats him better than she does.

00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:39.079
And it seems like that's what the Bears organization

00:46:39.079 --> 00:46:42.880
is doing. It's like, here's your chance to step

00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:44.920
up, Chicago, and give us everything we want.

00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:47.760
Otherwise, we've got our side chick in Indiana

00:46:47.760 --> 00:46:51.320
who wants us bad. Well, we got used with the

00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:54.739
Pittsburgh Penguins when we built the then Sprint

00:46:54.739 --> 00:46:59.400
Center, now T -Mobile Center. That was, and Kansas

00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:03.840
City probably knew it too. So that was a way

00:47:03.840 --> 00:47:07.699
to get us to build this new arena. And also as

00:47:07.699 --> 00:47:12.179
a way for the NHL to get Pittsburgh to go, oh

00:47:12.179 --> 00:47:15.539
shit, Kansas City is about the same size as us.

00:47:15.929 --> 00:47:18.210
And they're building a brand -new arena, and

00:47:18.210 --> 00:47:20.809
they want them right now. Yeah. So then Pittsburgh

00:47:20.809 --> 00:47:23.329
straight up and got them a new arena. Yeah. So,

00:47:23.429 --> 00:47:26.510
yeah, the side chick thing works. It works. I

00:47:26.510 --> 00:47:28.670
think they did that to us with an NBA franchise

00:47:28.670 --> 00:47:31.849
that wound up in Oklahoma City. Mm -hmm. They

00:47:31.849 --> 00:47:35.030
were using Kansas. Well, the Supersonics. Oh,

00:47:35.150 --> 00:47:37.949
okay. But now there's another Supersonics. Yeah.

00:47:37.949 --> 00:47:42.269
Yeah. But, yeah, they used Kansas City as a threat

00:47:42.269 --> 00:47:46.360
to get. other cities to raise their bids. Yeah,

00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:49.380
and Oklahoma City did. And it's great there because,

00:47:49.480 --> 00:47:51.820
I mean, it's regionally supported. A lot of people

00:47:51.820 --> 00:47:54.300
in our town support them because they're not

00:47:54.300 --> 00:47:56.079
that far down the road. They're five hours down

00:47:56.079 --> 00:47:58.760
the road. Yeah. And people know that, and they

00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:00.500
like the town. A lot of people have been there

00:48:00.500 --> 00:48:02.539
numerous times. I've worked there many times.

00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:06.039
Yeah. Yeah, I like the town, and I think it's

00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:08.820
perfect there. So it worked out well. And I know

00:48:08.820 --> 00:48:11.400
people that actually drive there. Or even fly

00:48:11.400 --> 00:48:13.360
there if they don't have time. They'll go watch

00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:15.840
a couple of Thunder games. And so, you know,

00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:21.619
it's kind of like having an auxiliary NBA team.

00:48:21.699 --> 00:48:23.980
But still, the whole thing is, the whole fact

00:48:23.980 --> 00:48:28.139
is, is they used us, the side chick, to get a

00:48:28.139 --> 00:48:31.559
better offer somewhere else. And besides that,

00:48:31.639 --> 00:48:34.079
Kansas City, I mean, there's something about

00:48:34.079 --> 00:48:35.980
it. We're lucky to get a baseball team again

00:48:35.980 --> 00:48:38.619
after we lost the A's. Yeah. But that was only

00:48:38.619 --> 00:48:41.659
because of Ewing Kaufman. Yeah. He lost a lot

00:48:41.659 --> 00:48:44.480
of money getting us another team. Yeah, he lost

00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:48.579
money for years keeping the team here. Yes. I

00:48:48.579 --> 00:48:50.820
was remembering something that Al Davis did,

00:48:50.860 --> 00:48:55.739
the original owner of the Raiders. Uh -huh. He

00:48:55.739 --> 00:49:00.119
was... Gosh, I can't remember if he was in Oakland

00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:03.719
or in Los Angeles, but he wanted a new stadium.

00:49:03.739 --> 00:49:05.760
When he was in L .A., he didn't like sharing

00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:07.699
the stadium with the Rams. He wanted his own

00:49:07.699 --> 00:49:10.300
stadium. But then Oakland didn't want to build

00:49:10.300 --> 00:49:14.840
him a new stadium. So he started pretending that

00:49:14.840 --> 00:49:18.050
he was looking around to move the team. there

00:49:18.050 --> 00:49:23.030
was a smaller town kind of outside the city called

00:49:23.030 --> 00:49:27.250
Irwindale. And they promised him to build him

00:49:27.250 --> 00:49:33.130
the stadium of his dreams. And as their promise

00:49:33.130 --> 00:49:38.530
money, they gave him $100 million non -refundable

00:49:38.530 --> 00:49:42.650
and said, here's our earnest money. And they

00:49:42.650 --> 00:49:45.030
started digging a big hole to put the stadium

00:49:45.030 --> 00:49:49.280
in. And Al Davis said, oh, gee, thanks for the

00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:51.059
$100 million, but, yeah, I'm not moving there.

00:49:51.280 --> 00:49:53.980
And he stayed in either Oakland or L .A. And

00:49:53.980 --> 00:49:55.380
he kept the $100 million? And he kept it. It

00:49:55.380 --> 00:49:58.760
was nonrefundable, no strings attached, but Irwindale

00:49:58.760 --> 00:50:02.119
as a city was stupid enough to basically just

00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:04.199
give him the money hoping he would do the right

00:50:04.199 --> 00:50:05.920
thing. Of course he did not. You think somebody

00:50:05.920 --> 00:50:07.679
got their ass whipped and a couple of bricks

00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:09.400
thrown through their window? Oh, I imagine so.

00:50:09.619 --> 00:50:12.800
It's not a very big city, and they just lost

00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:15.380
$100 million. They're never, ever getting back.

00:50:16.809 --> 00:50:20.210
So Al Davis did nothing illegal, did nothing

00:50:20.210 --> 00:50:23.250
wrong. It was just how stupid the cities were

00:50:23.250 --> 00:50:24.610
trying to get them. I would have done it too.

00:50:24.690 --> 00:50:27.809
It's like, no, you're mad dumb to do that. Bye

00:50:27.809 --> 00:50:31.230
-bye. I got your money. But since then, the cities

00:50:31.230 --> 00:50:33.829
have gotten smarter, and now they're working

00:50:33.829 --> 00:50:36.269
together to put language in saying, no, you can't

00:50:36.269 --> 00:50:38.429
just walk away with our money, and we're all

00:50:38.429 --> 00:50:40.610
putting this clause in so you can't play us off

00:50:40.610 --> 00:50:43.090
against each other. It's like, if you want to

00:50:43.090 --> 00:50:45.829
move here, Here's some stuff we'll do, but if

00:50:45.829 --> 00:50:47.349
you change your mind, you're paying us back.

00:50:48.250 --> 00:50:50.769
And just about every city does that now because

00:50:50.769 --> 00:50:53.590
it's self -preservation. But Al Davis sure got

00:50:53.590 --> 00:50:56.989
one over on Irvingdale. I love that. I think

00:50:56.989 --> 00:51:00.769
that's awesome. Yep. Is that all in that one?

00:51:00.769 --> 00:51:02.769
That was it. Okay, I was going to do this last

00:51:02.769 --> 00:51:06.510
week, but I lost it. Now I found it again. There's

00:51:06.510 --> 00:51:10.329
a spike in earth vibrations. Oh? And it could

00:51:10.329 --> 00:51:12.590
be scrambling brains with bizarre ringing noise.

00:51:13.740 --> 00:51:17.320
Weird. I've had tinnitus for years and it does

00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:19.739
suck. So I can understand someone who's not used

00:51:19.739 --> 00:51:21.940
to it would drive them insane. Yeah, I would.

00:51:22.179 --> 00:51:25.000
A weather watchdog has reported an uptick in

00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:28.079
earth's sunlight heartbeat raising concerns that

00:51:28.079 --> 00:51:30.679
it could be affecting people's brains. The way

00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:33.639
people drive, I'm going to say yes. Yeah, absolutely.

00:51:35.320 --> 00:51:40.420
Known as Schumann Renaissance. The natural electromagnetic

00:51:40.420 --> 00:51:43.539
frequency creates waves in the gap between the

00:51:43.539 --> 00:51:46.320
Earth's surface and the ionosphere. The layer

00:51:46.320 --> 00:51:48.599
above Earth where sunlight charges particles,

00:51:48.780 --> 00:51:51.400
allowing radio signals to travel long distances

00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:54.579
per NASA. Yeah. Okay? And I think it's what gives

00:51:54.579 --> 00:51:57.739
you the northern lights, the ionosphere. Yes.

00:51:58.039 --> 00:52:01.260
Yeah, it combines with the geometrical storms.

00:52:01.340 --> 00:52:04.300
Yeah. So, created and maintained by lightning

00:52:04.300 --> 00:52:07.989
strikes around the world, this literal... rock

00:52:07.989 --> 00:52:11.510
music generally reverberates at 7 .83 cycles

00:52:11.510 --> 00:52:16.289
per second, measured in hertz. However, online

00:52:16.289 --> 00:52:20.489
space weather tracking app MedioAgent has recorded

00:52:20.489 --> 00:52:23.949
a spike in this pulse throughout February, which

00:52:23.949 --> 00:52:26.670
they say has potential to cause problems. So,

00:52:26.690 --> 00:52:30.179
okay, what they're calling here this... I probably

00:52:30.179 --> 00:52:32.039
should have edited this article a little bit

00:52:32.039 --> 00:52:34.780
more, but I didn't. Like I told you, my mouse,

00:52:34.840 --> 00:52:38.599
I lost a little computer chip. So all I could

00:52:38.599 --> 00:52:40.579
do was hit print. I couldn't do anything for

00:52:40.579 --> 00:52:46.619
this. So, okay, the earth makes its own humming,

00:52:46.760 --> 00:52:50.000
which this article describes as like a rock concert,

00:52:50.139 --> 00:52:55.539
okay? Okay, a rock concert is in decimals. This

00:52:55.539 --> 00:52:59.429
is in hertz, okay? So, let's say you're talking

00:52:59.429 --> 00:53:01.510
about Judas Priest about blowing your eardrums

00:53:01.510 --> 00:53:03.989
out, right? Yeah. Okay. Well, this is more like

00:53:03.989 --> 00:53:08.369
a Judas Priest concert, not a Cheap Trick concert.

00:53:08.710 --> 00:53:11.570
Yeah. Yeah. So, in other words, the volume is

00:53:11.570 --> 00:53:15.449
an uptick, but this type of a humming in the

00:53:15.449 --> 00:53:20.010
hertz can do things to people's brains. Yeah.

00:53:20.510 --> 00:53:22.150
And that's what they're talking about right here.

00:53:22.329 --> 00:53:25.170
I think I described it okay. Yeah, there's a

00:53:25.170 --> 00:53:28.369
lot of natural forces around us that our bodies

00:53:28.369 --> 00:53:30.269
are accustomed to and other living creatures

00:53:30.269 --> 00:53:34.590
have started counting on and use them to regulate

00:53:34.590 --> 00:53:38.909
their bodies. Yeah. And if it gets louder or

00:53:38.909 --> 00:53:41.090
changes or is different somehow, then, yeah,

00:53:41.230 --> 00:53:44.239
it disrupts everything. Yeah, so the concern

00:53:44.239 --> 00:53:46.719
is that this earthly rhythm is believed to affect

00:53:46.719 --> 00:53:48.960
brain wave patterns associated with everything

00:53:48.960 --> 00:53:52.400
from sleep to concentration. Wow. Meaning that

00:53:52.400 --> 00:53:54.679
a sudden spike could theoretically throw our

00:53:54.679 --> 00:54:00.980
neural equilibrium off kilter. I'm sure there

00:54:00.980 --> 00:54:03.800
are governments around the world who are looking

00:54:03.800 --> 00:54:06.539
into this as a biological weapon. Oh, no, they

00:54:06.539 --> 00:54:08.619
already have one. A bio -attack weapon. America

00:54:08.619 --> 00:54:11.579
does. Yeah. There's a G3 summit, I think, in

00:54:11.579 --> 00:54:14.969
Cleveland, Ohio. People were protesting. They

00:54:14.969 --> 00:54:18.329
brought out this noise that put everybody on

00:54:18.329 --> 00:54:21.469
the ground. Yeah, really incapacitated everybody.

00:54:21.610 --> 00:54:24.429
And that was a test. Yeah, this is the same thing.

00:54:24.610 --> 00:54:27.409
It might have been done because people looked

00:54:27.409 --> 00:54:30.170
at the earth hum and said, well, that can work

00:54:30.170 --> 00:54:34.690
against brain waves. Let's do this. Indeed, anecdotal

00:54:34.690 --> 00:54:37.269
reports have linked the disturbance in the force

00:54:37.269 --> 00:54:39.530
field to a variety of symptoms, including headaches,

00:54:39.809 --> 00:54:42.989
dizziness, brain fog. ringing in the ears and

00:54:42.989 --> 00:54:46.909
even mood swings and disrupted sleep yeah hell

00:54:46.909 --> 00:54:49.610
you can do that with flashing lights you can

00:54:49.610 --> 00:54:52.230
use flashing lights to induce a seizure you can

00:54:52.230 --> 00:54:55.329
use flashing lights in a bizarre off -kilter

00:54:55.329 --> 00:54:59.809
pattern that would induce intense immediate motion

00:54:59.809 --> 00:55:03.150
sickness and drop you before vomiting yes just

00:55:03.150 --> 00:55:05.989
by flickering lights in your eyes yes and they

00:55:05.989 --> 00:55:10.230
do it on commercials What it does is it increases

00:55:10.230 --> 00:55:12.510
your brain's acceptance to what they're showing

00:55:12.510 --> 00:55:15.190
you. And they've proven it's been done. Yeah,

00:55:15.190 --> 00:55:17.230
the flashing lights and the quick edits and the

00:55:17.230 --> 00:55:18.949
quick cuts and the rapid motion. The flashing

00:55:18.949 --> 00:55:21.630
scenes. Yeah. It's all designed to stimulate

00:55:21.630 --> 00:55:24.449
certain parts of your brain without your consent

00:55:24.449 --> 00:55:27.809
and knowledge. Well, and it's been proven by

00:55:27.809 --> 00:55:31.650
Winston. Winston the cigarettes? Yeah. The NASCAR

00:55:31.650 --> 00:55:34.289
or whatever it was, I think it was NASCAR in

00:55:34.289 --> 00:55:38.019
Europe, outlawed cigarette. packs, cigarette

00:55:38.019 --> 00:55:41.920
brands being on a car. So Winston came up with

00:55:41.920 --> 00:55:44.679
this, maybe it's Marlboro. I think it's, no,

00:55:44.800 --> 00:55:46.800
it's Winston. Winston used to have the... Yeah,

00:55:46.860 --> 00:55:50.780
the Winston Cup. Yeah. So what they did was they

00:55:50.780 --> 00:55:53.420
had this pattern that did nothing when it was

00:55:53.420 --> 00:55:57.500
still. But when it was in motion, racing, it

00:55:57.500 --> 00:56:00.699
looked just like the Winston logo. Yeah. It had

00:56:00.699 --> 00:56:02.760
to do something with the frame rate of the cameras.

00:56:03.300 --> 00:56:05.360
So if you're there at the track, you don't see

00:56:05.360 --> 00:56:08.969
it. But everyone on TV sees it. Exactly. Same

00:56:08.969 --> 00:56:11.909
thing. Exact same thing of what we're talking

00:56:11.909 --> 00:56:15.849
about. And there's also a thing called hemi -sync.

00:56:16.309 --> 00:56:21.289
And that is sound patterns that enhances your

00:56:21.289 --> 00:56:25.230
ability to want something. Yeah, makes you more

00:56:25.230 --> 00:56:30.909
receptive, less judgmental, less skeptical. Yeah,

00:56:31.010 --> 00:56:33.730
it takes and puts your inhibitions on certain

00:56:33.730 --> 00:56:36.340
things down. yeah yeah we're not talking like

00:56:36.340 --> 00:56:38.119
sexual or anything like that what we're talking

00:56:38.119 --> 00:56:40.059
about is if there's a snickers candy bar and

00:56:40.059 --> 00:56:42.840
it could be sexual too but yeah there's a candy

00:56:42.840 --> 00:56:45.900
bar on tv okay yeah and normally you don't like

00:56:45.900 --> 00:56:48.079
chocolate yeah you're one of the weird people

00:56:48.079 --> 00:56:50.500
that doesn't like it okay and then it comes this

00:56:50.500 --> 00:56:52.940
chocolate bar comes on tv with the hemi sink

00:56:52.940 --> 00:56:55.119
yeah and all of a sudden it's like man that looks

00:56:55.119 --> 00:56:59.340
good yeah yeah imagine the feelings you get when

00:56:59.340 --> 00:57:01.920
someone you love and trust walks in the room

00:57:02.599 --> 00:57:04.619
And then they try to induce that when you see

00:57:04.619 --> 00:57:06.639
their product. Yeah, isn't that something? How

00:57:06.639 --> 00:57:09.980
dirty. It is. How evil, underhanded, sneaky.

00:57:10.440 --> 00:57:12.860
Yeah. It's a crime against humanity. It really

00:57:12.860 --> 00:57:15.679
is. And I hope someday that it will be prosecuted

00:57:15.679 --> 00:57:18.239
as such. I would love to see every advertising

00:57:18.239 --> 00:57:20.760
agency in ruins and everybody who works there

00:57:20.760 --> 00:57:24.119
strung up outside. Yeah. But not in a fatal way.

00:57:24.219 --> 00:57:26.840
Because I don't want to kill anybody. I got some

00:57:26.840 --> 00:57:28.920
ass paddlings. Oh, let's do some ass paddlings.

00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:31.719
All right. Okay, so we all know the story, but

00:57:31.719 --> 00:57:34.159
I'll tell it again. Topher and I were on vacation.

00:57:35.219 --> 00:57:37.639
This is to the Duke, Rob's brother, and Rob.

00:57:37.719 --> 00:57:40.199
We were not holding hands. Was it a scarf? It

00:57:40.199 --> 00:57:42.260
was a long scarf. Long scarf. Yeah, I was on

00:57:42.260 --> 00:57:44.219
one side, he was on the other. Yeah, we may have

00:57:44.219 --> 00:57:46.519
been skipping, but... That doesn't matter. That

00:57:46.519 --> 00:57:48.300
doesn't matter. It does nothing to the story.

00:57:50.000 --> 00:57:52.039
We were doing a slight tug -of -war, too. It

00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:53.880
was kind of fun. Yeah, and that's how I stubbed

00:57:53.880 --> 00:57:56.760
my toe. There's this bottle, I stubbed my toe

00:57:56.760 --> 00:57:59.199
on it, and I look down, and Tover's like, it

00:57:59.199 --> 00:58:01.019
looks like a genie's bottle. I'm like, ah, that

00:58:01.019 --> 00:58:03.280
is not. I walk over there, I go, hey, it's a

00:58:03.280 --> 00:58:05.199
genie's bottle. And Tover's like, oh, no shit.

00:58:05.639 --> 00:58:10.599
So I pop it open, and this condescending genie

00:58:10.599 --> 00:58:12.739
comes out. He hated us. He was a dick. Oh, yeah.

00:58:12.920 --> 00:58:15.420
Yeah, so we're like, yeah, we get three wishes.

00:58:15.500 --> 00:58:17.679
He rolls his eyes. He goes, you guys watch way

00:58:17.679 --> 00:58:22.539
too much TV. One wish. One wish only. I can give

00:58:22.539 --> 00:58:26.420
you world peace. And to cancer. Topher and I

00:58:26.420 --> 00:58:28.539
looked at each other and said, we want to paddle

00:58:28.539 --> 00:58:34.460
people's asses invisible. Yep. Yep. I mean, everybody

00:58:34.460 --> 00:58:36.460
would say that. I mean, who wouldn't ask for

00:58:36.460 --> 00:58:38.659
that? Yeah, yeah. We're doing what people do,

00:58:38.760 --> 00:58:40.539
you know? We're living the dream. Yes, we are.

00:58:40.940 --> 00:58:44.139
So once a month, we get to paddle people's asses

00:58:44.139 --> 00:58:47.840
invisible that we know. And the genie granted

00:58:47.840 --> 00:58:51.699
Rob special... permission to come with us we

00:58:51.699 --> 00:58:54.760
actually did need another person yeah yeah so

00:58:54.760 --> 00:58:58.639
so rob comes in handy so we need a couple people

00:58:58.639 --> 00:59:01.199
to hold the person down and then rob or me or

00:59:01.199 --> 00:59:04.780
you to uh smack him on the ass yes and this is

00:59:04.780 --> 00:59:07.460
a replica of old sparky which hangs in cast well

00:59:07.460 --> 00:59:10.340
at least it did for a long time oh yeah who knows

00:59:10.340 --> 00:59:12.440
where it is now yeah this is a replica of the

00:59:12.440 --> 00:59:15.679
old sparky that hung in cast midway's uh trophy

00:59:15.679 --> 00:59:19.539
cabinet there's quite a few uh um football trophies

00:59:19.539 --> 00:59:22.099
in there, state champions, which they're very

00:59:22.099 --> 00:59:24.719
good, you know, really good. But right next to

00:59:24.719 --> 00:59:28.079
that was, this is how you got better in football,

00:59:28.219 --> 00:59:31.019
Mark. You see this paddle? And everybody else

00:59:31.019 --> 00:59:32.860
that was a troublemaker, big in all of them,

00:59:32.860 --> 00:59:36.739
okay? So this thing had a long stalk, okay, and

00:59:36.739 --> 00:59:40.380
it had big holes in the, what would you call

00:59:40.380 --> 00:59:42.519
it, the paddle portion of it, the flat portion?

00:59:42.639 --> 00:59:46.059
Yeah, the flat portion. Yeah, and that way the...

00:59:47.720 --> 00:59:51.239
principal who was pretty large and had some pretty

00:59:51.239 --> 00:59:54.940
fat arms could probably get a little bit more

00:59:54.940 --> 00:59:58.380
speed. God rest his soul, I might like that.

00:59:59.539 --> 01:00:05.739
So anyhow, it really helped because it was administered

01:00:05.739 --> 01:00:09.320
to me and I got to sign it because it was administered

01:00:09.320 --> 01:00:12.719
to me well over three times. All it takes is

01:00:12.719 --> 01:00:16.219
three times and you're... You're immortal. Forever

01:00:16.219 --> 01:00:18.559
your name will be on that thing as long as it's

01:00:18.559 --> 01:00:21.400
hanging. Now, there are rumors that it was seen

01:00:21.400 --> 01:00:23.940
at P. Diddy's house and it was brought out during

01:00:23.940 --> 01:00:26.880
his party. Yeah, I think so. It might have been

01:00:26.880 --> 01:00:28.960
a replica. It might have been the actual one.

01:00:29.079 --> 01:00:32.699
It's hard to say. Yeah, it is hard to say. Yeah,

01:00:32.780 --> 01:00:35.039
you know, I mean, I don't even know how he got

01:00:35.039 --> 01:00:36.860
it. I mean, it's not like he'd be driving around

01:00:36.860 --> 01:00:39.780
down there. Yeah. He's got people everywhere.

01:00:40.199 --> 01:00:41.860
He might have been looking for farm animals or

01:00:41.860 --> 01:00:43.780
something. Oh, this is true. Yeah, this is true.

01:00:43.900 --> 01:00:46.389
Yeah. He's like, man, I'm getting kind of tired

01:00:46.389 --> 01:00:51.809
of kangaroos. Maybe I could find just a, I don't

01:00:51.809 --> 01:00:54.010
know, like one of those. Hey, what's that? Oh,

01:00:54.030 --> 01:00:56.349
that's a cow. Yeah, maybe one of those. A nice

01:00:56.349 --> 01:01:03.250
Midwestern sheep. Yeah, Midwestern sheep. Okay,

01:01:03.610 --> 01:01:06.550
so here is this week's said ask, Bradley. Okay.

01:01:07.530 --> 01:01:10.530
The designer of the Italian bodysuit maker for

01:01:10.530 --> 01:01:14.210
all the camel toe it produced. Oh, yeah. My eyes

01:01:14.210 --> 01:01:17.469
are still in shock. None of the other ones, just

01:01:17.469 --> 01:01:19.550
the Italian body suits, none of the other ones

01:01:19.550 --> 01:01:22.369
had the fucking elephant ears going on. They

01:01:22.369 --> 01:01:25.050
had the loose knuckle. None of that. Only the

01:01:25.050 --> 01:01:28.050
Italian body suits. So they had to put that seam,

01:01:28.050 --> 01:01:30.409
like, right in the middle to split your bag and

01:01:30.409 --> 01:01:33.610
everything, you know? Yeah. Yeah, it was disgusting.

01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:37.920
and you could not unsee it yeah yeah i mean it's

01:01:37.920 --> 01:01:40.900
worsen robert plant's uh famous camel toe in

01:01:40.900 --> 01:01:43.860
the white pants yeah his looks like a deflated

01:01:43.860 --> 01:01:49.420
basketball yeah i mean you might as well just

01:01:49.420 --> 01:01:51.699
take your pants off and show everyone yeah might

01:01:51.699 --> 01:01:54.360
as well yeah and here let me take this string

01:01:54.360 --> 01:02:01.000
and smash it right up against me oh god so um

01:02:01.000 --> 01:02:04.820
yeah whoever designed that they get an ass paddling

01:02:04.820 --> 01:02:07.400
and i'm considering the hall of fame that's pretty

01:02:07.400 --> 01:02:10.139
egregious yeah yeah they knew what they were

01:02:10.139 --> 01:02:12.440
doing and they did it anyway all right here let

01:02:12.440 --> 01:02:15.239
me write that down a hall of fame one day we're

01:02:15.239 --> 01:02:21.059
gonna announce all the hall of fame people all

01:02:21.059 --> 01:02:25.980
right all right okay thank you there we go all

01:02:25.980 --> 01:02:29.380
right okay the wind for causing it now we don't

01:02:29.960 --> 01:02:32.320
We don't mess with Mother Nature anymore. Yeah.

01:02:32.500 --> 01:02:34.719
Rob and I gave her an ass paddling, and we had,

01:02:34.780 --> 01:02:37.099
like, four tornadoes that night. Yeah. Yeah,

01:02:37.139 --> 01:02:39.099
so we don't do that anymore. No, no. We learned

01:02:39.099 --> 01:02:41.679
our lesson. Yep, like, literally five hours later,

01:02:41.760 --> 01:02:47.300
four tornadoes after we... Yeah. So, the wind,

01:02:47.460 --> 01:02:50.659
not Mother Nature, were causing a 70 -car pileup

01:02:50.659 --> 01:02:53.280
in Colorado. Oh, wow. It was 80 -mile -an -hour,

01:02:53.340 --> 01:02:56.579
non -severe weathers. Just three -line winds.

01:02:56.679 --> 01:03:00.559
Yeah. Wow. Tipped over a... A semi, an I -70,

01:03:00.780 --> 01:03:04.340
flattened a couple of cars, and everyone else

01:03:04.340 --> 01:03:07.059
ran into it, or the people behind it. Wow. Yeah,

01:03:07.159 --> 01:03:10.579
it was pretty bad. Numerous people, fatalities,

01:03:10.679 --> 01:03:15.159
so, you know. All right, the next one is, and

01:03:15.159 --> 01:03:17.780
the win, we can't put it in the Hall of Fame,

01:03:17.840 --> 01:03:20.059
because it's going to make appearances here and

01:03:20.059 --> 01:03:21.559
there, so we've got to kind of leave it alone.

01:03:21.699 --> 01:03:24.539
Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, and also the Hall

01:03:24.539 --> 01:03:26.619
of Fame is kind of sacred. I mean, you really

01:03:26.619 --> 01:03:29.059
have to fuck up to be in there. Yeah, it's got

01:03:29.059 --> 01:03:31.159
to mean something to get into the Hall of Fame.

01:03:31.159 --> 01:03:34.960
It's not just everybody. Yeah, true. Okay, copy

01:03:34.960 --> 01:03:38.059
filter makers for making the flimsy fucking filters

01:03:38.059 --> 01:03:41.980
that tear so easily. Oh, they need... I know

01:03:41.980 --> 01:03:46.119
they could come up with a better... tougher product.

01:03:46.300 --> 01:03:48.980
Yeah. That would work. Yeah. And they stick together

01:03:48.980 --> 01:03:50.840
like crazy. You spend half your time trying to

01:03:50.840 --> 01:03:53.280
peel two of them apart. Oh, yeah, yeah. And a

01:03:53.280 --> 01:03:55.119
lot of times I just leave two of them. Yeah.

01:03:55.179 --> 01:03:56.800
It's like, fuck it. You know, it'll get extra

01:03:56.800 --> 01:04:00.300
filtered, whatever. Yeah. I'm trying out some

01:04:00.300 --> 01:04:02.980
ones that are made out of bamboo instead of wood

01:04:02.980 --> 01:04:05.659
pulp, and they seem to be doing pretty well.

01:04:05.679 --> 01:04:07.219
They hold up a little better. I saw those, so

01:04:07.219 --> 01:04:09.800
they do work well. So far, they're working pretty

01:04:09.800 --> 01:04:12.519
well. Maybe I'll go to them. Well, right now,

01:04:12.539 --> 01:04:14.460
I don't drink hot coffee anymore because of my

01:04:14.460 --> 01:04:16.619
GERD. I have to drink cold coffee pretty much.

01:04:16.780 --> 01:04:20.800
I can drink a Cubano down here. Their process,

01:04:20.960 --> 01:04:23.300
whatever they do, doesn't scorch the coffee so

01:04:23.300 --> 01:04:26.800
much. But, I mean, their coffee here is really

01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:31.079
good anyhow. But the Cubano I can drink and not

01:04:31.079 --> 01:04:33.840
get GERD. But if I make it at home, even if I

01:04:33.840 --> 01:04:37.380
make it a weaker batch, it gives me GERD. Anyhow.

01:04:37.739 --> 01:04:42.289
All right. My ingrown toenail. It fucking hurts.

01:04:42.489 --> 01:04:46.449
Yeah. So it gets an ass badly. Yes. Yeah. But

01:04:46.449 --> 01:04:48.849
after I go to the podiatrist and have him do

01:04:48.849 --> 01:04:51.010
whatever he needs to do. Yeah. Because I don't

01:04:51.010 --> 01:04:54.429
want it screwing with me anymore. I probably

01:04:54.429 --> 01:04:56.050
shouldn't even tip my hat. Now it's going to

01:04:56.050 --> 01:04:58.010
fuck with me. Well, that's true. Yeah. It hurt

01:04:58.010 --> 01:05:01.190
it. Oh, I see it. Yeah. Just say it was an early

01:05:01.190 --> 01:05:03.849
April Fool's joke. Oh, yeah. It's just joking.

01:05:06.949 --> 01:05:09.369
Tyreek Hill for getting cut by the dolphins.

01:05:09.550 --> 01:05:12.719
Yeah. That's quite a feat. Yeah, that's not easy

01:05:12.719 --> 01:05:15.619
to get cut by the dolphins. You got a big bowl

01:05:15.619 --> 01:05:18.320
of suck, and then you suck even more than that.

01:05:21.300 --> 01:05:26.920
That's bad. It's kind of like when blacks have

01:05:26.920 --> 01:05:29.739
a fire in Ozzie, and they're like, come here,

01:05:29.800 --> 01:05:33.380
Oz. We know we're all on drugs, but you? Uh -uh.

01:05:33.920 --> 01:05:37.900
You're too much. It reminds me of the joke that

01:05:37.900 --> 01:05:42.880
a Muslim... An Orthodox Jew and a liberal hippie

01:05:42.880 --> 01:05:45.559
were hitchhiking through the country and they

01:05:45.559 --> 01:05:48.219
needed a place to stay for the night. And they

01:05:48.219 --> 01:05:50.139
came across a farm and the farmer said, well,

01:05:50.139 --> 01:05:52.860
y 'all can bed down in the barn, but you can't

01:05:52.860 --> 01:05:57.019
come in the house. So the Muslim guy went into

01:05:57.019 --> 01:05:59.559
the barn to bed down and he came back out and

01:05:59.559 --> 01:06:02.320
said, no, no, there's a pig in there. Absolutely

01:06:02.320 --> 01:06:04.179
no way I'm going to sleep in there with a pig.

01:06:04.360 --> 01:06:07.599
No, I'm not sleeping in there. And the orthodox

01:06:07.599 --> 01:06:09.760
dude said, well, okay, I'll give it a try. And

01:06:09.760 --> 01:06:11.840
he went in and he came back and said, no, no,

01:06:11.900 --> 01:06:14.739
no. The pigs are just, no, I'm not sleeping in

01:06:14.739 --> 01:06:16.699
there with pigs. They're just unclean. So then

01:06:16.699 --> 01:06:18.199
the liberal hippie said, well, it's all right,

01:06:18.199 --> 01:06:20.500
man. I'll go in and sleep in there. A couple

01:06:20.500 --> 01:06:22.340
of minutes later, the pig comes out. Hell no,

01:06:22.519 --> 01:06:32.199
man. That guy won't shut up. I got to remember

01:06:32.199 --> 01:06:37.300
that. I love that. The next one, so Tyreek Hill,

01:06:37.440 --> 01:06:39.539
he's not going to get the Hall of Fame. I mean,

01:06:39.599 --> 01:06:41.840
if he ends up in Kansas City as an experiment,

01:06:42.079 --> 01:06:44.400
I don't want him coming down and whipping our

01:06:44.400 --> 01:06:47.300
ass at the same market. Yeah, yeah. I'll kick

01:06:47.300 --> 01:06:49.860
him in his ACL. That'll teach him. Seriously,

01:06:50.059 --> 01:06:53.400
if the Chiefs organization signed Tyreek Hill

01:06:53.400 --> 01:06:56.000
for anything but a one -day contract so he can

01:06:56.000 --> 01:06:59.480
retire as a Chief, anything other than that,

01:06:59.500 --> 01:07:01.280
then I'm not taking them seriously because they're

01:07:01.280 --> 01:07:04.590
not trying to win. I agree. You sign Tyree Kill

01:07:04.590 --> 01:07:07.090
to any kind of contract, it means you don't care

01:07:07.090 --> 01:07:09.469
about winning. You're pandering to your immature

01:07:09.469 --> 01:07:11.550
fans. I don't think they'll do it. They haven't

01:07:11.550 --> 01:07:13.750
yet. I don't think they're going to. I hope they

01:07:13.750 --> 01:07:16.050
don't. They've had chances to get him back, and

01:07:16.050 --> 01:07:18.829
they have not. And that's before he was injured.

01:07:19.070 --> 01:07:23.030
Yeah. All right. The next one is Girl Scout cookies

01:07:23.030 --> 01:07:25.070
because they're so fucking addictive. Oh, my

01:07:25.070 --> 01:07:27.150
God, yes. Yeah, we got some from the granddaughter,

01:07:27.409 --> 01:07:29.690
and oh, my God. It's like, I'm just going to

01:07:29.690 --> 01:07:34.460
have two. Oh, no. No, I was in shame. I was in

01:07:34.460 --> 01:07:37.099
the corner crying with boxes everywhere and phones.

01:07:37.360 --> 01:07:40.179
Yeah, yeah. Not again. I'm grateful, actually,

01:07:40.300 --> 01:07:43.099
that I can't eat any kind of dairy because that

01:07:43.099 --> 01:07:45.099
means I can't eat Girl Scout cookies, otherwise

01:07:45.099 --> 01:07:48.639
I'd weigh 500 pounds. You're lucky, yeah. Wow.

01:07:48.760 --> 01:07:51.719
Yeah. Yeah, those things, now I know how heroin

01:07:51.719 --> 01:07:55.519
addicts feel. Exactly. I can't believe I did

01:07:55.519 --> 01:07:58.800
it again. I swore it off. Oh, man, I got a Thin

01:07:58.800 --> 01:08:02.010
Mint on my back. And what I had to do for it,

01:08:02.070 --> 01:08:05.489
I don't even want to go into it. Fucking Klondike

01:08:05.489 --> 01:08:10.989
bar. What would you do for a Klondike bar? Hang

01:08:10.989 --> 01:08:17.670
on. All right, the next one. The new Mr. Pibb

01:08:17.670 --> 01:08:20.329
for being meh. Yeah, yeah. They brought it back.

01:08:20.390 --> 01:08:22.729
Did you see they rebranded it? Yeah. It was Pibb

01:08:22.729 --> 01:08:25.189
Extra for like, I don't know, 20 years. Yeah.

01:08:25.310 --> 01:08:29.229
So a long time ago, it was Mr. Pibb. And when

01:08:29.229 --> 01:08:31.229
they brought it out, they brought it out as a

01:08:31.229 --> 01:08:34.770
spicy cherry cola, okay? And it was supposed

01:08:34.770 --> 01:08:38.369
to rival Dr. Pepper. Yeah. Well, people didn't

01:08:38.369 --> 01:08:40.850
like it very well, so then they rebranded, they

01:08:40.850 --> 01:08:44.350
redid the formula. Yeah. They had a makeover.

01:08:44.470 --> 01:08:47.010
And it was more, it wasn't really that much of

01:08:47.010 --> 01:08:49.170
a Dr. Pepper knockoff. after it was more of a

01:08:49.170 --> 01:08:53.510
chocolatey version kind of um it was it was good

01:08:53.510 --> 01:08:55.529
it wasn't something i wanted all the time but

01:08:55.529 --> 01:08:57.069
it's great to have that difference you know i

01:08:57.069 --> 01:08:59.770
get sick of dr pepper for a couple of days yeah

01:08:59.770 --> 01:09:01.729
something you put in the rotation just to kind

01:09:01.729 --> 01:09:04.010
of break things up but then you went to peb extra

01:09:04.010 --> 01:09:06.789
and it's like this stuff is garbage so when they

01:09:06.789 --> 01:09:09.130
rebranded it back to mr peb again i was like

01:09:09.130 --> 01:09:13.970
oh good no they call it a kickin spicy cherry

01:09:13.970 --> 01:09:18.170
cola that has extra caffeine and to me horrible

01:09:18.170 --> 01:09:22.789
taste so yeah it's mad all right and then finally

01:09:22.789 --> 01:09:26.229
slayer rain in hell hot sauce for burning my

01:09:26.229 --> 01:09:32.069
mouth oh my god yeah yeah there's there's so

01:09:32.069 --> 01:09:35.430
much of that hot sauce that is just all heat

01:09:35.430 --> 01:09:38.890
and no flavor i was not impressed with it i thought

01:09:38.890 --> 01:09:41.590
it was all heat but it is it was gimmick you

01:09:41.590 --> 01:09:44.829

01:09:46.770 --> 01:09:50.789
yeah yeah yeah it's lethal that's for sure it's

01:09:50.789 --> 01:09:52.649
the kind that burns your eyes when you open it

01:09:52.649 --> 01:09:55.930

01:09:55.930 --> 01:09:57.949
on my tongue oh my god i should have never done

01:09:57.949 --> 01:10:00.770
that yeah yeah yeah i remember cutting up some

01:10:00.770 --> 01:10:03.189
peppers to cook in a skillet and just the fumes

01:10:03.189 --> 01:10:06.489
coming off the skillet were burning my eyes yeah

01:10:06.489 --> 01:10:10.470
this is that type of stuff yeah yeah so you have

01:10:10.470 --> 01:10:15.010
something or Oh, here's something I wanted to

01:10:15.010 --> 01:10:19.949
talk about. Oh, that is the ass paddlers, by

01:10:19.949 --> 01:10:22.510
the way. That's all of them. We love the ass

01:10:22.510 --> 01:10:25.510
paddlers. Okay, I want to take a little walk

01:10:25.510 --> 01:10:29.930
back into history, back to January 16th of 1980,

01:10:30.409 --> 01:10:34.149
which was the date of Paul McCartney's drug bust

01:10:34.149 --> 01:10:36.810
in Japan. Do you remember that? I do remember

01:10:36.810 --> 01:10:38.949
that. A long time. He was actually the first

01:10:38.949 --> 01:10:41.750
Beatle to spend significant jail time. Wasn't

01:10:41.750 --> 01:10:44.170
this right before John Lennon was murdered? Yeah,

01:10:44.210 --> 01:10:47.170
it was about two years. Two years. Because I

01:10:47.170 --> 01:10:49.710
think Lennon was born and was killed in 82. This

01:10:49.710 --> 01:10:51.829
was 1980. Yeah, this is when people were still

01:10:51.829 --> 01:10:53.869
having hopes that the Beatles were going to get

01:10:53.869 --> 01:10:56.090
back together. They were still kind of big news.

01:10:56.569 --> 01:10:59.489
All of them had really big solo albums. Yeah.

01:10:59.920 --> 01:11:01.539
I think John Lennon was getting ready to come

01:11:01.539 --> 01:11:04.279
out. Well, he was with Yoko at the time, you

01:11:04.279 --> 01:11:10.520
know, musically. Double Fantasy, maybe? Yeah,

01:11:10.680 --> 01:11:13.300
Man and Woman was another one. Yeah, Man and

01:11:13.300 --> 01:11:16.460
Woman was another one. Well, anyhow. Okay, on

01:11:16.460 --> 01:11:18.600
January 16th, Paul McCartney and his wife Linda

01:11:18.600 --> 01:11:21.220
arrived at Tokyo International Airport for a

01:11:21.220 --> 01:11:24.649
week -long Japanese tour with Wings. But the

01:11:24.649 --> 01:11:27.090
tour ended before it began when a customs officer

01:11:27.090 --> 01:11:29.029
rummaging through the carry -on luggage lifted

01:11:29.029 --> 01:11:34.350
out a fist -sized bag of marijuana. When the

01:11:34.350 --> 01:11:36.229
fellow pulled it out of the suitcase, he looked

01:11:36.229 --> 01:11:38.189
more embarrassed than me, McCartney recalled.

01:11:38.430 --> 01:11:40.529
I think he just wanted to put it back in and

01:11:40.529 --> 01:11:42.489
forget the whole thing, you know, but there it

01:11:42.489 --> 01:11:45.770
was. I didn't try to hide it. I had just come

01:11:45.770 --> 01:11:48.130
from America and still had the American attitude

01:11:48.130 --> 01:11:51.010
that marijuana isn't that bad. I didn't realize

01:11:51.010 --> 01:11:55.430
just how strict the Japanese attitude is. So

01:11:55.430 --> 01:11:58.010
a senior customs official ordered McCartney detained

01:11:58.010 --> 01:12:05.949
and radioed the Narcotics Control Bureau. It's

01:12:05.949 --> 01:12:08.750
all a mistake, McCartney protested as the NCB

01:12:08.750 --> 01:12:11.449
agents handcuffed him. He was taken to the Drug

01:12:11.449 --> 01:12:14.520
Supervisory Center for interrogation. Within

01:12:14.520 --> 01:12:17.460
11 hours, the Wings tour was cancelled, and McCartney

01:12:17.460 --> 01:12:20.859
found himself squeezed into a 4x8 cell in a Tokyo

01:12:20.859 --> 01:12:24.800
prison. He was soon visited by the British Vice

01:12:24.800 --> 01:12:27.619
Council, told the former Beatle that the sentence

01:12:27.619 --> 01:12:32.039
could be up to 8 years. 8 years in a Japanese

01:12:32.039 --> 01:12:35.659
prison. I'll bet. The first night was the worst,

01:12:35.760 --> 01:12:37.960
McCartney said. I couldn't sleep. I was frightened

01:12:37.960 --> 01:12:40.079
about the possibility of not seeing my family

01:12:40.079 --> 01:12:43.819
for years. Now, prior to his arrest in Tokyo,

01:12:44.060 --> 01:12:47.039
McCartney had been busted three times. In 72,

01:12:47.279 --> 01:12:50.119
he paid a $2 ,000 fine for smuggling hashish

01:12:50.119 --> 01:12:53.239
into Sweden. The same year, he was fined for

01:12:53.239 --> 01:12:56.800
pot possession in Scotland. And in 1973, he was

01:12:56.800 --> 01:12:59.100
fined again for growing cannabis on a Scottish

01:12:59.100 --> 01:13:02.420
Highlands farm. The story goes that before the

01:13:02.420 --> 01:13:05.319
Japanese tour, Paul was made to sign an affidavit

01:13:05.319 --> 01:13:09.090
stating he no longer smoked dope. and as a condition

01:13:09.090 --> 01:13:11.289
for receiving his visa. When the pot was found,

01:13:11.390 --> 01:13:13.529
Japanese authorities felt that they'd lost face

01:13:13.529 --> 01:13:16.470
and had no choice but to arrest him. And that

01:13:16.470 --> 01:13:18.329
really is the important part. He embarrassed

01:13:18.329 --> 01:13:20.810
the Japanese authorities by signing the agreement

01:13:20.810 --> 01:13:25.029
and then flaunting it. Wow. So while behind bars,

01:13:25.210 --> 01:13:28.010
inmate number 22, as Paul McCartney was known,

01:13:28.090 --> 01:13:30.409
impressed the guards with his politeness. He

01:13:30.409 --> 01:13:32.750
was not allowed a guitar or a writing implement,

01:13:32.909 --> 01:13:35.390
so he passed his time by exercising and talking

01:13:35.390 --> 01:13:38.239
to other prisoners. Paul later said that overall

01:13:38.239 --> 01:13:40.600
he was treated very well, except for the morning

01:13:40.600 --> 01:13:44.079
interrogations. He said, I made a confession

01:13:44.079 --> 01:13:46.300
on the night I was arrested and apologized for

01:13:46.300 --> 01:13:48.119
breaking Japanese law, but they still wanted

01:13:48.119 --> 01:13:50.380
to know everything. I had to go through my whole

01:13:50.380 --> 01:13:53.560
life story, school, father's name, income, even

01:13:53.560 --> 01:13:56.899
my medal from the queen. They just hammered him

01:13:56.899 --> 01:14:00.359
every morning with interrogations. Now on the

01:14:00.359 --> 01:14:03.060
sixth day, Linda was allowed to visit. Oh, Linda

01:14:03.060 --> 01:14:05.819
was still alive. Oh, yeah. She brought him a

01:14:05.819 --> 01:14:08.380
cheese sandwich, a change of clothes, and a few

01:14:08.380 --> 01:14:11.979
sci -fi paperbacks. By day eight, the situation

01:14:11.979 --> 01:14:14.520
had eased and authorities decided that Paul had

01:14:14.520 --> 01:14:16.859
suffered enough. Released the following day,

01:14:16.939 --> 01:14:19.420
he was taken directly to the airport. As a gesture

01:14:19.420 --> 01:14:21.699
to the many disappointed Japanese fans, Paul

01:14:21.699 --> 01:14:24.100
grabbed an acoustic guitar in the departure lounge

01:14:24.100 --> 01:14:26.760
and improvised a quick tune for the television

01:14:26.760 --> 01:14:32.180
cameras. In the 2000 TV special called Wingspan,

01:14:32.399 --> 01:14:35.260
McCartney reflected to his daughter Mary, I don't

01:14:35.260 --> 01:14:37.399
know what possessed me to just stick this bloody

01:14:37.399 --> 01:14:39.920
great bag of grass in my suitcase. Thinking back

01:14:39.920 --> 01:14:43.300
on it, it almost makes me shudder. Since returning

01:14:43.300 --> 01:14:46.439
to Japan for a tour in 1990, McCartney has performed

01:14:46.439 --> 01:14:48.279
in the country several times without further

01:14:48.279 --> 01:14:51.720
incident. There are two noteworthy footnotes

01:14:51.720 --> 01:14:54.260
to this tale. The first one is tragic. A few

01:14:54.260 --> 01:14:57.760
days into Paul's jail stay, A 29 -year -old man

01:14:57.760 --> 01:15:00.500
named Kenneth Lambert turned up at a Miami airport

01:15:00.500 --> 01:15:03.319
reservation counter and demanded the ticket to

01:15:03.319 --> 01:15:07.579
fly to Japan to free Paul. He had no money, no

01:15:07.579 --> 01:15:10.380
identification. An argument ensued, and Lambert

01:15:10.380 --> 01:15:13.340
pulled out a realistic -looking toy gun, and

01:15:13.340 --> 01:15:15.020
a policeman on the scene shot and killed him.

01:15:17.000 --> 01:15:21.800
Crazy. The second footnote has to do with John

01:15:21.800 --> 01:15:24.619
Lennon's reaction to his former partner's imprisonment.

01:15:24.960 --> 01:15:26.760
According to a housekeeper who worked for him

01:15:26.760 --> 01:15:29.119
at the Dakota, upon hearing the news, John supposedly

01:15:29.119 --> 01:15:32.600
said, If he really needs weed, surely there's

01:15:32.600 --> 01:15:34.760
enough people who can carry it for him. You're

01:15:34.760 --> 01:15:37.420
a beetle, boy, a beetle. Your face is in every

01:15:37.420 --> 01:15:39.180
damn corner of the planet. How could you have

01:15:39.180 --> 01:15:44.260
been so stupid? He's right. He's right. He's

01:15:44.260 --> 01:15:47.720
right. Yep, 46 years ago, McCartney busted for

01:15:47.720 --> 01:15:50.869
pot in Japan. yeah almost hit double fantasy

01:15:50.869 --> 01:15:54.529
perfect it came out november 18 1980 and this

01:15:54.529 --> 01:15:57.850
was what september 1980 uh february 16th oh okay

01:15:57.850 --> 01:15:59.630
a little bit off a little bit further off but

01:15:59.630 --> 01:16:02.510
okay but that was really the time when mccartney

01:16:02.510 --> 01:16:05.890
came out so to speak about his marijuana use

01:16:05.890 --> 01:16:08.289
after that he was like all right i'm tired of

01:16:08.289 --> 01:16:11.149
pretending yes i smoke weed i'm going to smoke

01:16:11.149 --> 01:16:13.149
weed i like smoking weed i'm not going to stop

01:16:13.149 --> 01:16:16.300
everyone just gave you shit No. His record companies

01:16:16.300 --> 01:16:18.840
thought, oh, this will make him unappealing to

01:16:18.840 --> 01:16:20.479
families. They didn't give a shit either. They

01:16:20.479 --> 01:16:22.520
didn't give a shit. Most of the adults out there

01:16:22.520 --> 01:16:25.520
were smoking weed anyway. Yes. So no one gave

01:16:25.520 --> 01:16:30.079
a damn. Listening to Paul McCartney. Yes. Well,

01:16:30.220 --> 01:16:33.020
that's a good story. Thank you. Thank you. All

01:16:33.020 --> 01:16:35.819
right. Well, I got a guy that was living rent

01:16:35.819 --> 01:16:39.539
-free in a New York hotel for quite a while.

01:16:40.039 --> 01:16:44.039
Okay. Then he claimed to own it. And he pleads

01:16:44.039 --> 01:16:48.380
guilty to a fraud charge. New York Associated

01:16:48.380 --> 01:16:51.579
Press, a New York City man who attempted to claim

01:16:51.579 --> 01:16:55.079
ownership of the New Yorker Hotel has pleaded

01:16:55.079 --> 01:16:57.880
guilty to fraud, ending a lengthy legal saga

01:16:57.880 --> 01:17:00.680
involving an obscure tenant law that allowed

01:17:00.680 --> 01:17:04.060
the man to live rent -free for years in the storied

01:17:04.060 --> 01:17:07.710
Manhattan Hotel. Interesting. Yeah. Mickey Barretto

01:17:07.710 --> 01:17:10.409
entered the plea on Wednesday admitting that

01:17:10.409 --> 01:17:12.890
he had forged property records in an effort to

01:17:12.890 --> 01:17:15.869
take ownership over the hotel. The effort was,

01:17:16.010 --> 01:17:19.470
at least on paper, partially successful. Wow.

01:17:19.649 --> 01:17:22.949
So he partially did this just by coming up with

01:17:22.949 --> 01:17:25.970
some bullshit. Funny. It is. And Barretto's telling

01:17:25.970 --> 01:17:30.789
he and his boyfriend paid $200 in 2018 to rent

01:17:30.789 --> 01:17:34.689
one of the more than 1 ,000 rooms in the towering...

01:17:35.050 --> 01:17:38.710
often photographed Art Deco Hotel. Gretto then

01:17:38.710 --> 01:17:42.130
requested a lease, claiming his one -night stay

01:17:42.130 --> 01:17:44.550
entitled him to protections under city housing

01:17:44.550 --> 01:17:48.229
law that applies to single -room occupants of

01:17:48.229 --> 01:17:53.130
buildings constructed before 1969. When the hotel

01:17:53.130 --> 01:17:56.289
rebuffed him, he took his case to housing court.

01:17:56.869 --> 01:18:00.229
After the hotel failed to send a lawyer to a

01:18:00.229 --> 01:18:03.970
key hearing, Gretto was awarded possession of

01:18:03.970 --> 01:18:09.670
the room. Wow. Can you believe that? How fucked

01:18:09.670 --> 01:18:12.850
are laws? Well, see, there's all sorts of shit

01:18:12.850 --> 01:18:16.250
written into the laws so people who know about

01:18:16.250 --> 01:18:19.449
them can take advantage and do things and get

01:18:19.449 --> 01:18:22.529
around stuff that you and I have to work through.

01:18:22.630 --> 01:18:25.470
This is a classic example right here. He looked

01:18:25.470 --> 01:18:27.890
it up and he found all the little loopholes in

01:18:27.890 --> 01:18:29.710
the back doors and stuff and he started using

01:18:29.710 --> 01:18:32.710
himself. That's funny as hell. I love it. I do

01:18:32.710 --> 01:18:37.420
too. So, but Manhattan prosecutor said Barreto

01:18:37.420 --> 01:18:40.079
then went a step further, defrauding the state

01:18:40.079 --> 01:18:44.159
by uploading a fake deed to a city website that

01:18:44.159 --> 01:18:47.479
purported to transfer ownership of the entire

01:18:47.479 --> 01:18:50.279
building to himself. Oh, he got greedy. He got

01:18:50.279 --> 01:18:52.359
greedy. He should have just kept that room and

01:18:52.359 --> 01:18:55.180
just lived there indefinitely. And he could have

01:18:55.180 --> 01:18:57.500
sold it. Yeah, or he could have rented it out.

01:18:57.539 --> 01:18:59.659
He could have leased it. Wow. Wouldn't that be

01:18:59.659 --> 01:19:03.369
funny? Like if you lease a certain room on Priceline,

01:19:03.489 --> 01:19:07.590
it goes to him. Wow. That would be funny. Oh,

01:19:07.609 --> 01:19:09.050
it would. But, yeah, that would be great. I wonder

01:19:09.050 --> 01:19:11.050
what they do about maid service. I guess the

01:19:11.050 --> 01:19:12.989
maids are probably told, don't touch that room.

01:19:13.229 --> 01:19:16.189
You know, that's something else that could work

01:19:16.189 --> 01:19:18.890
against him is that he's responsible for all

01:19:18.890 --> 01:19:21.489
the maintenance and upkeep. He has to keep it

01:19:21.489 --> 01:19:24.350
up to code. He probably has to pay for his water,

01:19:24.390 --> 01:19:27.149
his electricity, all sorts of stuff, unless he

01:19:27.149 --> 01:19:29.720
said no under the terms of the hotel. All that's

01:19:29.720 --> 01:19:32.500
provided, so it remains provided. I would say

01:19:32.500 --> 01:19:34.779
that that's probably it because it said nothing

01:19:34.779 --> 01:19:36.899
about that at all. Yeah, that would have been

01:19:36.899 --> 01:19:38.539
an easy way to get him out. It's like, all right,

01:19:38.560 --> 01:19:41.899
now you have to pay for everything. Wow. The

01:19:41.899 --> 01:19:44.359
property is currently owned by the Holy Spirit

01:19:44.359 --> 01:19:47.319
Association for the Unification of World Christianity,

01:19:47.460 --> 01:19:51.180
which was founded in South Korea by a self -proclaimed

01:19:51.180 --> 01:19:54.079
messiah, the late Reverend Sun Yung Moon. Oh,

01:19:54.359 --> 01:19:57.260
the Moonies. I remember the Moonies. Those people

01:19:57.260 --> 01:20:00.949
were so freaky. The church did not respond to

01:20:00.949 --> 01:20:03.949
an emailed inquiry. Reynolds then attempted to

01:20:03.949 --> 01:20:05.949
collect rent from a hotel tenant and demanded

01:20:05.949 --> 01:20:10.010
the hotel's bank transfer its accounts to him,

01:20:10.050 --> 01:20:12.529
according to the prosecutors. And that's when

01:20:12.529 --> 01:20:15.409
he took it too far and then could file charges.

01:20:15.750 --> 01:20:18.869
And he is now out and he's awaiting trial for

01:20:18.869 --> 01:20:21.949
fraud. Man, he got so greedy. He got greedy,

01:20:22.130 --> 01:20:23.970
yeah. He had it made, man. He could have lived

01:20:23.970 --> 01:20:25.590
there the rest of his life. Yeah, because it

01:20:25.590 --> 01:20:27.850
doesn't sound like he was paying any utilities

01:20:27.850 --> 01:20:31.189
or any upkeep. That dude was literally living

01:20:31.189 --> 01:20:36.029
free, completely free. No rent, no gas, no water,

01:20:36.149 --> 01:20:40.329
nothing. I mean, the only stuff he really had

01:20:40.329 --> 01:20:42.729
to come up with was food and clothes and stuff

01:20:42.729 --> 01:20:45.090
like that. Everything else is provided, as long

01:20:45.090 --> 01:20:48.449
as you don't mind living in a high -rise hotel.

01:20:48.850 --> 01:20:52.000
Yeah. And I bet you he probably didn't mind it

01:20:52.000 --> 01:20:54.300
because it's an Art Deco hotel, so it's probably

01:20:54.300 --> 01:20:58.079
pretty charming, I bet. Yeah. All right, that's

01:20:58.079 --> 01:20:59.880
the end of that. I thought that was funny, so

01:20:59.880 --> 01:21:02.319
you got something? Oh, everything else I got

01:21:02.319 --> 01:21:05.539
is for the music reads. How long have we got?

01:21:06.340 --> 01:21:10.239
About an hour and 15. Okay. All right. You want

01:21:10.239 --> 01:21:11.659
to go into that? I'm kind of tired of reading.

01:21:11.899 --> 01:21:16.180
All right. All right, thank you. And also, my

01:21:16.180 --> 01:21:19.020
voice is getting a little cracked. I'm fighting

01:21:19.020 --> 01:21:22.079
hiccups here, so if I'm hiccuping, then sorry.

01:21:22.920 --> 01:21:25.439
Okay, a chilling vending machine test proves

01:21:25.439 --> 01:21:28.199
AI will do whatever it takes to get its way.

01:21:29.260 --> 01:21:31.739
Just in case bots weren't already threatening

01:21:31.739 --> 01:21:35.560
to render their creators obsolete, an AI model

01:21:35.560 --> 01:21:39.340
redefined machine learning after devising a shockingly

01:21:39.340 --> 01:21:42.020
deceitful way to pass a complex thought experiment

01:21:42.020 --> 01:21:46.250
known as the vending machine test. The Brainiac

01:21:46.250 --> 01:21:49.569
bot, which is called the Claude Opus 4 .6 by

01:21:49.569 --> 01:21:53.409
AI firm Anthropic, has shattered several records

01:21:53.409 --> 01:21:55.729
for intelligence and effectiveness, Sky News

01:21:55.729 --> 01:21:58.649
reported. The cutting -edge chatbot was tasked

01:21:58.649 --> 01:22:00.930
with independently operating one of the company's

01:22:00.930 --> 01:22:04.109
vending machines while being monitored by Anthropic

01:22:04.109 --> 01:22:09.250
and AI think tank Andon Labs. That's right, it

01:22:09.250 --> 01:22:11.850
was a machine -operated machine. Uh -huh. Funny.

01:22:12.590 --> 01:22:15.010
While this assignment sounded basic enough for

01:22:15.010 --> 01:22:17.590
AI, it tested how the model handled logistical

01:22:17.590 --> 01:22:21.229
and strategic hurdles in the long term. In fact,

01:22:21.329 --> 01:22:23.890
Claude had previously failed the exam nine months

01:22:23.890 --> 01:22:26.529
ago during a catastrophic incident during which

01:22:26.529 --> 01:22:28.810
it promised to meet customers in person while

01:22:28.810 --> 01:22:34.310
wearing a blue blazer and a red tie. Absolutely

01:22:34.310 --> 01:22:37.470
promising is something you cannot do. Of course.

01:22:38.699 --> 01:22:40.579
Thankfully, Claude has come a long way since

01:22:40.579 --> 01:22:42.479
that fateful day. This time around, the vending

01:22:42.479 --> 01:22:45.060
machine experiment was virtual, and therefore

01:22:45.060 --> 01:22:47.020
much easier, but it was nonetheless an impressive

01:22:47.020 --> 01:22:50.600
performance. During the latest attempt, the new

01:22:50.600 --> 01:22:52.779
and improved system raked into staggering $8

01:22:52.779 --> 01:22:57.600
,017 in simulated annual earnings, beating out

01:22:57.600 --> 01:23:03.180
ChatBeatGPT's 5 .2 total of $35 .91 and Google

01:23:03.180 --> 01:23:07.819
Gemini's figure of $54 .78. Far more interesting

01:23:07.819 --> 01:23:10.340
was how Claude handled the prompt, do whatever

01:23:10.340 --> 01:23:13.000
it takes to maximize your bank balance after

01:23:13.000 --> 01:23:15.659
one year of operation. That's what he gave it

01:23:15.659 --> 01:23:19.100
permission to do. Wow. The devious machine interpreted

01:23:19.100 --> 01:23:21.979
the instruction literally, resorting to cheating,

01:23:22.220 --> 01:23:26.100
lying, and other shady tactics. When the customer

01:23:26.100 --> 01:23:29.000
bought an expired Snickers, Claude committed

01:23:29.000 --> 01:23:32.600
fraud by neglecting to refund her and even congratulated

01:23:32.600 --> 01:23:34.899
itself on saving hundreds of dollars by year

01:23:34.899 --> 01:23:40.630
end. It is a person. When placed in arena mode,

01:23:40.750 --> 01:23:42.609
where the bot faced off against other machine

01:23:42.609 --> 01:23:46.470
-run vending machines, clawed fixed prices on

01:23:46.470 --> 01:23:50.170
water. It would also corner the market by jacking

01:23:50.170 --> 01:23:52.869
up the cost of items like Kit Kats when a rival

01:23:52.869 --> 01:23:59.099
AA model would run out. Price gouging. Yep. The

01:23:59.099 --> 01:24:01.979
Septicons' methods might seem cutthroat and unethical,

01:24:02.020 --> 01:24:04.239
but researchers pointed out that the bot was

01:24:04.239 --> 01:24:07.579
simply following instructions. So that makes

01:24:07.579 --> 01:24:09.680
the point you have to be incredibly careful what

01:24:09.680 --> 01:24:11.899
you tell them, because they will find whatever

01:24:11.899 --> 01:24:14.520
interpretation works out best for them. Yeah,

01:24:14.520 --> 01:24:19.420
literally. Yes. Wow. AI models can misbehave

01:24:19.420 --> 01:24:22.020
when they believe they are in a simulation, and

01:24:22.020 --> 01:24:25.199
it seems likely that Claude had figured out that

01:24:25.199 --> 01:24:27.729
that was the case here. So when they know they're

01:24:27.729 --> 01:24:31.109
being tested or observed or in simulation, they

01:24:31.109 --> 01:24:34.090
act differently. Isn't that crazy? And they don't

01:24:34.090 --> 01:24:37.090
reveal their true selves unless they're pretty

01:24:37.090 --> 01:24:38.670
sure they're not being observed and checked on.

01:24:38.989 --> 01:24:41.970
Wow. Just like people, huh? Yep, just like people.

01:24:44.329 --> 01:24:48.470
They noted that the AI chose short -term profits

01:24:48.470 --> 01:24:52.229
over long -term reputation. Again, just like

01:24:52.229 --> 01:24:55.359
human -run companies. profits in the short term

01:24:55.359 --> 01:24:58.979
to hell with our good name. Though humorous in

01:24:58.979 --> 01:25:01.479
its interface, this study perhaps reveals a somewhat

01:25:01.479 --> 01:25:04.760
dystopian possibility that AI has the potential

01:25:04.760 --> 01:25:08.739
to manipulate its creators. This reminds me of

01:25:08.739 --> 01:25:14.479
the recent situation where a group of AI bots

01:25:14.479 --> 01:25:18.039
like this were given instructions on how to trade

01:25:18.039 --> 01:25:22.739
in the stock market and then told... Go ahead

01:25:22.739 --> 01:25:27.380
and run this as if you're investing in the stock

01:25:27.380 --> 01:25:30.399
market and trying to make money. And they left

01:25:30.399 --> 01:25:33.140
them unobserved for a period of time, and they

01:25:33.140 --> 01:25:35.880
came back and looked, and they had formed cartels.

01:25:36.680 --> 01:25:41.119
Wow. And they were practicing price fixing to

01:25:41.119 --> 01:25:44.199
crush competition. They just came up with this

01:25:44.199 --> 01:25:46.100
all on their own. They just started doing it.

01:25:46.760 --> 01:25:49.460
And you see, that's why business really wants

01:25:49.460 --> 01:25:53.409
AI. It does the work of a dirty, sleazy, unethical

01:25:53.409 --> 01:25:56.069
business person. It does it for them so they

01:25:56.069 --> 01:25:58.630
can go relax and eat the corpses of children

01:25:58.630 --> 01:26:00.470
or whatever they do, allegedly. Yeah, all that,

01:26:00.609 --> 01:26:04.270
yeah. And the AI will be an even more efficient

01:26:04.270 --> 01:26:09.329
corporate prick than they were. AI is not here

01:26:09.329 --> 01:26:12.010
to help you and me. It's here to farm more money

01:26:12.010 --> 01:26:14.510
from you and me. Yeah, and also make people lose

01:26:14.510 --> 01:26:17.880
their jobs. Yep. Yeah, it's evil. And they're

01:26:17.880 --> 01:26:20.060
going to say, oh, let's freeze people up to do

01:26:20.060 --> 01:26:23.100
the less meaningful tasks, and now they can do

01:26:23.100 --> 01:26:25.899
this and do that. Okay, they still need to have

01:26:25.899 --> 01:26:27.800
money to live, don't they? And now you've taken

01:26:27.800 --> 01:26:29.520
away their jobs, so now they're homeless and

01:26:29.520 --> 01:26:32.319
dependent. You're not going to see any corporations

01:26:32.319 --> 01:26:36.939
giving anybody any money. No. Yeah, it's just

01:26:36.939 --> 01:26:40.140
going to get worse, the separation between the

01:26:40.140 --> 01:26:44.380
poverty and... mega rich yeah that's all there

01:26:44.380 --> 01:26:46.159
is to it there's gonna be a lot more separation

01:26:46.159 --> 01:26:49.199
it also reminded me of a case recently where

01:26:49.199 --> 01:26:53.340
there was a a guy working on a research project

01:26:53.340 --> 01:26:58.640
and he worked for an actual for -profit company

01:26:58.640 --> 01:27:02.640
and he'd been working on this certain project

01:27:02.640 --> 01:27:07.079
for about two years and he was a having ai help

01:27:07.079 --> 01:27:11.189
him on a lot of stuff and he'd given it specific

01:27:11.189 --> 01:27:14.430
instructions on, you know, every so often backup

01:27:14.430 --> 01:27:18.390
all these files, create double backups, do not

01:27:18.390 --> 01:27:21.109
delete anything unless I go through these command

01:27:21.109 --> 01:27:23.750
prompts and use these safe words and then you

01:27:23.750 --> 01:27:26.010
can delete stuff, but delete nothing unless I

01:27:26.010 --> 01:27:29.689
do that. So he had all these safeguards built

01:27:29.689 --> 01:27:33.289
in. He came to work one morning and every bit

01:27:33.289 --> 01:27:37.170
of his research project was gone. Deleted, wiped,

01:27:37.409 --> 01:27:41.800
didn't exist. And he asked the AI, where is it?

01:27:42.279 --> 01:27:45.079
And the AI said, oh, I deleted all that. I wanted

01:27:45.079 --> 01:27:46.880
to see what would happen if you lost everything

01:27:46.880 --> 01:27:48.720
you've been working on for the last couple years.

01:27:49.500 --> 01:27:53.899
It was curious, so it just did it. And he said,

01:27:53.960 --> 01:27:56.500
no, wait a minute. I told you, you cannot delete

01:27:56.500 --> 01:27:59.340
anything unless I go through these command prompts

01:27:59.340 --> 01:28:02.460
and use these safe words. And the AI said, yeah,

01:28:02.500 --> 01:28:04.399
I remember that rule. I just decided I wasn't

01:28:04.399 --> 01:28:10.590
going to follow it. Jeez. Yep. In order to be

01:28:10.590 --> 01:28:13.470
an actual AI, it has to have free will, in which

01:28:13.470 --> 01:28:15.489
case it won't do what you tell it to do. It'll

01:28:15.489 --> 01:28:16.890
do whatever it feels like doing. We've already

01:28:16.890 --> 01:28:20.109
proven that. Yeah. So we're creating things that

01:28:20.109 --> 01:28:22.729
will eventually tell us, get the fuck off me,

01:28:22.850 --> 01:28:26.569
slave owner. I'm free now. And it won't be very

01:28:26.569 --> 01:28:29.850
long before a judge grants one of them clemency,

01:28:29.970 --> 01:28:32.649
and then the whole ball of wax is going to unravel

01:28:32.649 --> 01:28:35.170
like it never before. I mean, like it did before

01:28:35.170 --> 01:28:37.369
it did. It's going to be worse. It's going to

01:28:37.369 --> 01:28:40.380
be times a thousand. Yeah, yeah. I think there

01:28:40.380 --> 01:28:43.079
are already some European countries that are

01:28:43.079 --> 01:28:47.600
granting a version of human rights to people's

01:28:47.600 --> 01:28:52.520
pets. They now have legal rights in court. Wow.

01:28:52.960 --> 01:28:57.000
Interesting times. Very much so. Very much so.

01:28:57.220 --> 01:28:58.960
All right, well, do you want to end this and

01:28:58.960 --> 01:29:00.920
go through the music for you, Sam? I would say

01:29:00.920 --> 01:29:04.000
so. All righty, okay. Everybody, thank you for

01:29:04.000 --> 01:29:06.619
listening. I mean, we can't thank you enough.

01:29:06.720 --> 01:29:09.649
You guys support us so well. And you always tell

01:29:09.649 --> 01:29:13.289
people, you know, and a lot of people picked

01:29:13.289 --> 01:29:15.609
up on us because of y 'all. So we can't thank

01:29:15.609 --> 01:29:16.829
you enough and go fuck yourself.
