1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,060 So it begins with two Mikes. There's two of us. Yes, there is 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,420 Mike one and Mike a 3 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,460 There's a reason why I have to be Mike a and I just can't be 4 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:18,340 We just can't be Mike. Well, we have to differentiate, but also it's a Futurama joke 5 00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:22,700 Yeah, universe one and universe a yes, I know I remember 6 00:00:22,700 --> 00:00:29,840 But ironically enough you'd be like well, you know you called him Mike A because his middle initial is A 7 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,300 Well, yes, that's true. My middle initial is A as well 8 00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:41,120 So that's also why we didn't go with middle initials. Okay. It's like I'm Mike a and I'm Mike a yeah 9 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,340 I mean we could say Mike M and Mike P, but yeah 10 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,260 Now I like Mike one and Mike a oh, yeah 11 00:00:49,260 --> 00:00:57,740 Oh Mike a here. It's your average guy. I work nine to five. I love my children very much big sports fan 12 00:00:57,740 --> 00:00:59,460 I just 13 00:00:59,460 --> 00:01:02,540 Really think that we need to pump the brakes on the AI 14 00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:05,300 Help for a little bit. Now. Don't get me wrong 15 00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:11,480 There have been some funny creations by AI like the song I glued my balls to my butthole again 16 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,640 Will Smith eating spaghetti and the will Smith eating spaghetti is pretty funny 17 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,080 But now I'm just you're down to earth dude from Western PA 18 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,320 That's all I really could say about myself. Yeah 19 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,080 Okay, so Mike one it 20 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,320 It says well I said 21 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,960 that I'm eccentric 22 00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:35,520 That I have highfalutin ideas what you do I could say 23 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:43,320 That it's it sounds arrogant and I don't mean it to be to say I don't think like the rest of you 24 00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:46,440 That's not to say that I'm always smarter 25 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,920 It's not to say I'm always 26 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:54,640 More correct or right. I sometimes am this is the most egotistical I've ever heard him 27 00:01:55,080 --> 00:02:01,480 No, it's not it's not about ego. It's about being an embodiment of strange 28 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,200 78 people 29 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,400 will see 30 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,840 something and think one way and I'm of a select group of people who 31 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:20,040 Sees it in a very strange way. That's kind of counterproductive 32 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,320 to living which 33 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:30,640 Basically, I just did a roundabout version of defining autism. Yeah pretty much. Oh, I mean 34 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:37,840 I'm definitely autism spectrum is very wide and I'm definitely a wide piece of the autistic spectrum 35 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:44,080 Not that one. Well, okay, just okay. Basically just like when I was an alcoholic 36 00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:46,640 I'm high functioning. Oh 37 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:53,480 And you like to go down the occasional rabbit hole sometimes a little too much. Yeah, well obsession is a big part of autism 38 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:59,040 So this is very true. This is very true. Okay, so but when I say highfalutin 39 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,600 Now this podcast of ours that we're trying to get out to you people 40 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,800 This was definitely a highfalutin idea, but I think this this was more my idea. Wasn't it? 41 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,360 Fuck you 42 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:21,640 Oh, I guess you're right, well, it wasn't either one of our ideas technically no starting a podcast 43 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:28,680 Was something that a co-worker said we should do after it's fine to just say a co-worker 44 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:36,440 Suggested after hearing us bicker and banter in in real life now.

She breastfed her 10 year old son 112 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:01,800 She kicked people out the moon door. That is medieval gale and that was a perfect 113 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:08,560 One-to-one in that Bob's Burgers episode. Hey, at least she didn't have any poems like gale did you she probably 114 00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:14,560 She probably she probably wrote tons of poems about freaking little finger little cat. You're just like little finger 115 00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:17,520 You're just like me you go outside squat to pee 116 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:23,600 Oh, I bet you he does and then she just screams squat for 30 minutes.
