Latest / Microphone Monkeys / Robot Vaccuums Recording Cheating Wives
Transcript
- 1:04SPEAKER_00: Here we come, walking down the street.
- 1:08SPEAKER_00: Got the gold, no taxes to me.
- 1:12SPEAKER_00: Free to speak and free to trade.
- 1:16SPEAKER_00: Market stuff, no need for the microphone monkeys.
- 1:24SPEAKER_00: People say we're at our kids fungi.
- 1:31SPEAKER_05: Hey, well, hey guys, this is Microphone Monkeys, and this week we have Robot Vacuums recording cheating wives.
- 1:40SPEAKER_05: That sucks.
- 1:41SPEAKER_05: That sucks for them.
- 1:42SPEAKER_05: Uh Virginia woman finds a bat in her mouth as she wakes up.
- 1:47SPEAKER_05: We have a in Rhode Island a squid uh Mafia Mike's bat.
- 1:56SPEAKER_05: Yeah, that that that takes a crime angle on it.
- 2:00SPEAKER_05: Slipped in.
- 2:01SPEAKER_05: We also have a man who super glued his urethra to deal with incumbents.
- 2:12SPEAKER_05: Well, and a Chinese automation store.
- 2:15SPEAKER_05: So it's only five today.
- 2:16SPEAKER_05: It's been light.
- 2:17SPEAKER_05: I've had to really pull them out the last couple weeks, but strike.
- 2:26SPEAKER_05: At least I uh didn't have to pull any glue out.
- 2:28SPEAKER_05: That's true.
- 2:29SPEAKER_05: So that'd be an explosion if we yeah, the uh block an explosion.
- 2:36SPEAKER_02: That's right.
- 2:37SPEAKER_05: Will Will has different glue all over the place.
- 2:40SPEAKER_05: It's it's his popcorn ceiling from all the private activities we can do.
- 2:46SPEAKER_05: We told those paranormal guys no black lights.
- 2:48SPEAKER_05: But that's right.
- 2:49SPEAKER_05: If that's if we can agree on that, you can do Will's house.
- 2:53SPEAKER_01: Black lights.
- 2:56SPEAKER_05: That's the one uh X-ray vision thing we don't want to allow.
- 3:00SPEAKER_05: I don't want to allow CSI in here at all.
- 3:03SPEAKER_05: There's a lot of DNA, maybe not too many ghosts.
- 3:06SPEAKER_04: The genetic material.
- 3:09SPEAKER_05: And today it's a little abnormal because we have It's not paranormal.
- 3:14SPEAKER_05: It's not paranormal this time.
- 3:16SPEAKER_05: It's very abnormal.
- 3:17SPEAKER_05: It's back to normal monkey uh environment, very abnormal.
- 3:21SPEAKER_05: We have dark webmering.
- 3:23SPEAKER_05: Yay! We have Mafia Mike in the house.
- 3:25SPEAKER_05: In the house, baby.
- 3:27SPEAKER_05: But we have a remote Hindu frequency energy telekinesis call-in this time because the the uh the karma gods have attacked his car.
- 3:40SPEAKER_05: That's right.
- 3:41SPEAKER_05: Ate that tire up.
- 3:44SPEAKER_05: Angry birds attacked it.
- 3:46SPEAKER_05: Yeah, so third eye Atherton is coming in remotely.
- 3:51SPEAKER_06: Yep, I'm on remote.
- 3:53SPEAKER_05: You sound like it's not like you're on an island.
- 3:56SPEAKER_05: He's he's in time out, yeah.
- 3:58SPEAKER_05: It's in timeout, he just had to wrangle his dinosaur prehistoric uh parrot down.
- 4:06SPEAKER_05: Is that what we call it?
- 4:07SPEAKER_05: Wrangling?
- 4:10SPEAKER_06: The gang has been coming to visit.
- 4:12SPEAKER_06: I don't know.
- 4:13SPEAKER_06: We've had a gang of crow at least.
- 4:15SPEAKER_03: I might make a Stephen King movie out of this one.
- 4:19SPEAKER_05: We could they somehow find Darren's house, these these motley crew gangs of crows.
- 4:24SPEAKER_05: Well, it's probably all the women that are outside that are trying to get in.
- 4:28SPEAKER_06: I would think old crow.
- 4:30SPEAKER_03: I would think the birds would love him because he's wants to go down and surf side and protect him.
- 4:36SPEAKER_03: I know.
- 4:37SPEAKER_03: That's right, that's right.
- 4:38SPEAKER_04: Well, I not you're not here, so Darren, you don't see Mafia Mike wearing his Beastie Boys t-shirt.
- 4:46SPEAKER_04: So Mike.
- 4:47SPEAKER_05: Oh, license to tour.
- 4:49SPEAKER_05: License to tour, yeah.
- 4:51SPEAKER_05: License to ill ill tour tour, 1987.
- 4:54SPEAKER_05: Is that an original?
- 4:55SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 4:56SPEAKER_05: Wow.
- 4:56SPEAKER_05: Holy cow.
- 4:57SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
- 4:58SPEAKER_05: We have that that seems right up Darren's uh territory.
- 5:01SPEAKER_05: Yeah, at first I thought Beastie Boys.
- 5:04SPEAKER_06: I know Mafia Mike probably knows, but they started out and they were called the young and the useless when they were.
- 5:10SPEAKER_03: The young and the useless, that's how that's what they were.
- 5:13SPEAKER_06: Look it up, baby.
- 5:14SPEAKER_05: Yeah, is that a San Francisco man?
- 5:16SPEAKER_05: BC Boys?
- 5:17SPEAKER_05: No, New York, yeah.
- 5:18SPEAKER_03: New York.
- 5:18SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 5:19SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 5:20SPEAKER_03: Straight out of Brooklyn.
- 5:21SPEAKER_03: Oh, yes, that's right.
- 5:23SPEAKER_05: Brooklyn and the Bronx.
- 5:25SPEAKER_05: I only I can't think of any BC Boy song.
- 5:28SPEAKER_05: Didn't they have like Intergalactic Planetary?
- 5:31SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah, you're talking.
- 5:33SPEAKER_05: I think that was way later.
- 5:34SPEAKER_03: This is their like top album.
- 5:36SPEAKER_05: Didn't they have Right to Party?
- 5:38SPEAKER_03: Right to party.
- 5:38SPEAKER_03: You gotta fight the right to party.
- 5:41SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 5:41SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 5:42SPEAKER_03: Yeah, very interesting.
- 5:43SPEAKER_03: No sleep till Brooklyn.
- 5:45SPEAKER_05: No sleep till Brooklyn.
- 5:46SPEAKER_05: I should have known.
- 5:47SPEAKER_05: Yeah, not San Francisco.
- 5:49SPEAKER_03: Come on, that's my national anthem right there.
- 5:53SPEAKER_05: That does fit Mafia Mike.
- 5:55SPEAKER_05: Well, we'll have to make that his new uh inner podcast theme song.
- 5:59SPEAKER_03: Usually when uh Miracle Max plays, they'll play that song for me.
- 6:04SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay.
- 6:04SPEAKER_03: I'll bust out the beastie hat.
- 6:07SPEAKER_05: Well, by the way, we had a Georgetown meeting yesterday, and they had all fantasy football at half the restaurant.
- 6:14SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 6:14SPEAKER_05: We need to get the Shakedown merch, and we need to get the remote tour of Mafia Mike coming and go debate on it.
- 6:21SPEAKER_04: I wish I would have had buttons or something made for your your uh the you're sleeping over here.
- 6:26SPEAKER_03: I tell you, you gotta get the shirt with the Liberty, Crack Media, and then the podcast or podcast on the back of it.
- 6:33SPEAKER_04: Oh, I missed the check you sent me.
- 6:37SPEAKER_01: Here, get on.
- 6:39SPEAKER_05: Don't make mafia bring his bat back here.
- 6:42SPEAKER_05: Get the merch coming.
- 6:44SPEAKER_05: That's right.
- 6:47SPEAKER_05: But you know, going back into monkey business, uh, this is our first story today.
- 6:54SPEAKER_05: Man gets jail time for using robot vacuum to record cheating wife.
- 6:59SPEAKER_03: What?
- 7:00SPEAKER_03: I mean, how do you get a robot to record the cheating wife?
- 7:04SPEAKER_03: What uh what liberty?
- 7:06SPEAKER_03: Come on.
- 7:07SPEAKER_03: I know what's in jail.
- 7:10SPEAKER_05: He's pulling like a flock move a little bit.
- 7:12SPEAKER_05: What do you do?
- 7:13SPEAKER_03: Stick the stick the uh vacuum under the bed with a recorder.
- 7:17SPEAKER_03: Is she cheating with the vacuum?
- 7:19SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
- 7:20SPEAKER_05: That's for a later story on robotics.
- 7:22SPEAKER_05: We'll get to that.
- 7:24SPEAKER_05: It says a Taiwanese man was sentenced to five months behind bars for recording his wife's extramarital affair with the robot vacuum cleaner.
- 7:32SPEAKER_05: Taiwanese media reported the bizarre case of the scorned man who, after catching his wife cheating with another man, used the footage to sue them both for compensation.
- 7:41SPEAKER_05: Unfortunately, the same footage was then used against him in a counter lawsuit for recording people without their consent inside of their home.
- 7:49SPEAKER_05: But it's his home.
- 7:50SPEAKER_05: It is, but when you record inside your house without maybe letting the other partner know, it gets I know with Airbnb.
- 7:59SPEAKER_05: Oh, so basically that's gotta be a Taiwan thing.
- 8:02SPEAKER_03: While my wife's fucking some other guy, yeah, I gotta say, oh, excuse me, honey, I gotta record you so I can get this on tape to prove my your infidelity.
- 8:13SPEAKER_03: Why don't you just ask me directly?
- 8:18SPEAKER_03: Why don't you at least call me in for the threesome?
- 8:24SPEAKER_02: How do you think I'm gonna pay for your merch?
- 8:31SPEAKER_04: Michelle, I apologize.
- 8:32SPEAKER_04: That was just a joke.
- 8:33SPEAKER_05: We're not saying Darren, I know because Darren is remote.
- 8:40SPEAKER_05: We get the energy going.
- 8:42SPEAKER_05: Before I continue, was there a home can fail there?
- 8:46SPEAKER_06: Yeah, the whole thing, the whole thing that got me is like he has to have a consent form to legally be able to film in his house.
- 8:53SPEAKER_05: Well, I know with Airbnb, I had some Brazilian owners who had cameras all on the outside of their unit and all on the inside in this five-bedroom house.
- 9:00SPEAKER_05: I was doing it with Airbnb.
- 9:01SPEAKER_04: But that but that is not no longer a home.
- 9:04SPEAKER_04: I know it's a rental.
- 9:05SPEAKER_04: Now now it's a business.
- 9:10SPEAKER_06: Well, but think about this.
- 9:11SPEAKER_06: You're in your home and you've got a vacuum cleaner and you just put a camera on it.
- 9:14SPEAKER_05: Well, what if they're both on the deed?
- 9:17SPEAKER_05: So if we like two people are on the deed and one guy's filming inside, because you could, it's a gray.
- 9:23SPEAKER_04: Because if you're there alone, I would, I would, I would think, um, I mean, we're talking about it from a US perspective, but this is Taiwan.
- 9:32SPEAKER_05: Yeah, Taiwan where they came out.
- 9:34SPEAKER_03: I don't know what their rules are, what the laws are over there.
- 9:37SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah, it's hard to say.
- 9:38SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah, that's that's yeah.
- 9:41SPEAKER_05: I will say, I'm kind of wondering, is this some hostile takeover from the robot?
- 9:47SPEAKER_05: Because the robot probably knows the Taiwanese rules, and he caught her cheating and then also got him for illegally photographing.
- 9:55SPEAKER_05: So is this some sort of robot hostile takeover of the D?
- 9:58SPEAKER_05: What kind of robot was this?
- 10:00SPEAKER_05: Like a vacuum?
- 10:01SPEAKER_05: He must have programmed it.
- 10:03SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 10:04SPEAKER_05: Well, and and they have to have well, they probably just have sensor things and not cameras.
- 10:07SPEAKER_05: Maybe a fancy robot vacuum does, but he must have programmed like lenses into the robot.
- 10:14SPEAKER_05: But it says the unnamed man and his wife married in 2021, and they also owned a vacation home that was only visited during holidays.
- 10:21SPEAKER_05: In 2023, during one such visit, also it was a vacation home.
- 10:24SPEAKER_05: Oh, the man found yeah, the man found a strange toothbrush which raised suspicions about his wife's fidelity.
- 10:31SPEAKER_05: After checking surveillance footage from the parking garage, he noticed the man who had previously driven his wife home from work.
- 10:36SPEAKER_05: When confronted, the man's wife denied any wrongdoing and he believed her.
- 10:40SPEAKER_05: However, three months later, he accidentally discovered that she had indeed been having an affair.
- 10:45SPEAKER_05: He was remote.
- 10:46SPEAKER_05: He had remotely activated the home's robot vacuum cleaner via its mobile application to surprise his wife by talking to her through it, but he ended up catching her with her lover.
- 10:57unknown: Okay.
- 10:58SPEAKER_04: So now it's going to audio.
- 11:00SPEAKER_04: This is great.
- 11:00SPEAKER_05: The robot is talking.
- 11:02SPEAKER_04: Okay, so I don't think he again Oh, it mentions camera.
- 11:06SPEAKER_05: So it says upon activating the vacuum cleaner's camera, the husband saw his wife in bed with the man he had seen in the surveillance camera.
- 11:13SPEAKER_05: His instinct was to confront them immediately, but he kept his cool and decided to continue recording them as evidence in bed, I guess, uh for a subsequent lawsuit.
- 11:22SPEAKER_05: The footage showed his wife embracing her lawyer and walking around the house naked while the man sat on the sofa.
- 11:27SPEAKER_04: It's his her lawyer.
- 11:29SPEAKER_04: That's the only reason.
- 11:32SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 11:34SPEAKER_05: That's it.
- 11:35SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 11:35SPEAKER_05: Armed with video evidence, the scorned husband took his wife and her lover to court for uh uh sixty-eight thousand dollars as compensation in US dollars.
- 11:44SPEAKER_05: The judges ruled that the man's extramarital affairs surpassed the boundaries of friendship and ordered them to pay the cheating husband uh five hundred thousand, which would be like a quarter of that.
- 11:56SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 11:56SPEAKER_05: Uh in whatever Taiwanese dollars.
- 11:58SPEAKER_05: Unfortunately, his success was shaded by a counter lawsuit filed by his wife.
- 12:03SPEAKER_05: The video evidence captured with the robot vacuum may have helped the man prove his wife some faithfulness, but it also proved he had recorded them without their consent.
- 12:11SPEAKER_05: He claimed that his action was justified, but the court ruled that the marital obligation does not supersede the right to privacy, and he had no right to record them without their consent.
- 12:21SPEAKER_03: Well, that goes against like you have these private investigators that film people without their consent.
- 12:29SPEAKER_04: Well, I mean this is like my my feeling is that she knew that the robot vacuum cleaner was in there.
- 12:37SPEAKER_04: And therefore she already she already gave implied consent.
- 12:40SPEAKER_04: Implied consent because she had the she she she implied the the the or allowed the camera to be in there.
- 12:45SPEAKER_04: It's great, yeah.
- 12:46SPEAKER_04: That's possible.
- 12:47SPEAKER_04: That would be my defense.
- 12:49SPEAKER_03: Well, my first question would be is the is the camera built into the vacuum cleaner.
- 12:58SPEAKER_03: It is without the guy putting a camera in.
- 13:01SPEAKER_03: It is.
- 13:01SPEAKER_03: I think so.
- 13:02SPEAKER_03: Okay, so then she already knows there is a camera on this vacuum.
- 13:05SPEAKER_03: That's great.
- 13:06SPEAKER_03: Yeah, she may be able to get a couple of times.
- 13:06SPEAKER_03: So there's the consent, but still, but it's still that's the consent.
- 13:10SPEAKER_06: And and just just because he hit the record button.
- 13:15SPEAKER_06: He says he was using the vacuum cleaner to just surprise her and say hello to her, like it wasn't premeditated.
- 13:22SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 13:22SPEAKER_06: So he's trying to protect himself.
- 13:24SPEAKER_06: And then another one is like, who bought this vacuum cleaner?
- 13:27SPEAKER_06: Maybe she did.
- 13:28SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 13:29SPEAKER_05: That's true.
- 13:30SPEAKER_05: We don't know.
- 13:30SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it's definitely very gray.
- 13:32SPEAKER_05: The fact he didn't alter it in any way makes it a lot more gray.
- 13:36SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and I that would I would think would go in his favor because he didn't alter it.
- 13:42SPEAKER_03: They bought it together, or she bought or he bought it, but she knew about this vacuum.
- 13:46SPEAKER_04: It might be and it's spontaneous discovery, too.
- 13:49SPEAKER_04: I mean, he he recording it, he didn't know if he was protecting her, too.
- 13:53SPEAKER_04: He didn't didn't realize if it was consensual or not, you know, and things like that, or maybe there was a backstory that she was being, you know, uh so again, there are a lot of people to defend this.
- 14:05SPEAKER_05: Legally, because I mentioned this to Will and he mentioned, you know, the new sundress convention coming up.
- 14:10SPEAKER_05: He wanted to get his own model of it.
- 14:11SPEAKER_05: Exactly.
- 14:12SPEAKER_05: So I I would would that be uh would there be less legal gray there?
- 14:16SPEAKER_05: He he said he wanted to call it the Sundress 3000.
- 14:18SPEAKER_05: So does that show intent?
- 14:20SPEAKER_05: Uh well.
- 14:25SPEAKER_05: In the tent, all right.
- 14:27SPEAKER_05: Under the tent.
- 14:29SPEAKER_05: All these years of holding a camera six inches above the ground, and now they have robots.
- 14:34SPEAKER_05: The cameras are built into my kind of shoes.
- 14:36SPEAKER_05: So that's all there is to it.
- 14:37SPEAKER_05: Yeah, that's not a steel toe boot, that's a camera.
- 14:41SPEAKER_05: That's Will's camera contraption.
- 14:44SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 14:44SPEAKER_05: I I just thought that was an interesting.
- 14:46SPEAKER_05: We always have the AI robotics theme because that's what goes back to what I was saying.
- 14:51SPEAKER_03: If you have somebody who's uh uh undercover, someone hires somebody undercover.
- 14:59SPEAKER_03: You're they're filming without consent.
- 15:02SPEAKER_03: Well, here's the thing.
- 15:03SPEAKER_03: Interesting because I why wouldn't that go against the person that hired them?
- 15:07SPEAKER_04: Well, that's US law though.
- 15:08SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 15:09SPEAKER_03: Well, and even that's where the law is.
- 15:11SPEAKER_05: Well, even taking US law and even like libertarian theory, PIs get certain types of training where they have access to certain background information almost like they're a partial cop kind of thing.
- 15:20SPEAKER_05: So certain things you can't really do as a private person.
- 15:24SPEAKER_05: A PI is a little more legal room.
- 15:27SPEAKER_04: Well, when when I was taking courses uh in investigation, you you can you can film them going in and out of the hotel room.
- 15:34SPEAKER_04: You cannot go into the you can't zoom through the the hotel room window.
- 15:40SPEAKER_04: You can't uh that's where we all got in trouble, yeah.
- 15:43SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you can't refix your focus to be on beyond the window.
- 15:46SPEAKER_06: What about if you put what about if you put mics and cameras in that room?
- 15:50SPEAKER_06: Like you know they're going in there.
- 15:52SPEAKER_04: Then you're in trouble.
- 15:52SPEAKER_06: Yeah, unless you're in the FBI, you're unless they're also unless you're the government.
- 16:07SPEAKER_06: Or not busting them and just letting it go on.
- 16:09SPEAKER_06: So I think these people have to weigh that probably when it comes down to it.
- 16:12SPEAKER_05: Well, and if he was doing this in the U.S., he maybe should have hired a PI or something and looked at all the laws of the stuff.
- 16:18SPEAKER_04: This was this was accidental discovery.
- 16:20SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 16:21SPEAKER_05: Well, he did say he it already had suspicions.
- 16:23SPEAKER_04: Well, a suspicion, but it's still an accidental discovery.
- 16:26SPEAKER_04: He was he was like you said, his intent was to say, hey, I see your you know, your your home or your own.
- 16:35SPEAKER_04: Not yeah.
- 16:40SPEAKER_04: Excuse me, mafia Mike's bat doing in your mouth.
- 16:44SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 16:45SPEAKER_04: No, what are you doing in Virginia with microphone?
- 16:49SPEAKER_05: What are you doing with your tits uh with the lawyer's bat in your mouth?
- 16:54SPEAKER_05: Well, speaking of bats in the mouth, since we already mentioned at the top, Virginia woman again, Michelle.
- 17:02SPEAKER_04: I apologize.
- 17:05SPEAKER_05: Virginia woman wakes to find a bat attempting to go into her mouth.
- 17:11SPEAKER_05: So that this this is a stranger.
- 17:14SPEAKER_05: He wasn't there, he put his bat away.
- 17:16SPEAKER_05: A Virginia doctor shared an unusual story.
- 17:20SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah, that how she recently woke up in her home to find a bat attempting to get into her mouth.
- 17:26SPEAKER_04: I'm so glad it's not a natural doctor, but go ahead.
- 17:33SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it's a Dr.
- 17:35SPEAKER_05: Krista Edelman, a Richmond gastroenterologist.
- 17:40SPEAKER_05: Ah, so she's into a gastric pathway there, digestive tract, posted a video to Instagram explaining her experience.
- 17:50SPEAKER_05: I was dreaming, and in my dream there was a cute little field mouse.
- 17:53SPEAKER_05: This is pretty vivid, yeah.
- 17:55SPEAKER_05: The whole thing, a little field mouse trying to get into my mouth.
- 17:58SPEAKER_05: She then awoke and reached for her mouth, feeling an object there.
- 18:02SPEAKER_05: I grabbed something and ultimately I had folded the bat's wing back.
- 18:07SPEAKER_04: Oh, so is it defleater mouse?
- 18:09SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 18:09SPEAKER_03: Talking about Ozzy Osborne.
- 18:11SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I know.
- 18:13SPEAKER_03: He got ahead of her.
- 18:15SPEAKER_05: This this bat's asking for it.
- 18:17SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah.
- 18:18SPEAKER_05: Edelman quickly realized there was a bat on her face.
- 18:21SPEAKER_05: I screamed and I was screaming repeatedly something to the extent of there's a bat in my mouth.
- 18:26SPEAKER_05: Bat's trying to get in my mouth.
- 18:27SPEAKER_05: Edelman screams woke her husband, who captured the bat.
- 18:31SPEAKER_05: She took the bat with her to the emergency room.
- 18:34SPEAKER_05: Dr.
- 18:34SPEAKER_05: Adam Lancy of St.
- 18:36SPEAKER_05: Mary's Hospital said Edelman did the right thing, even though she didn't believe she had been bitten by the animal, obviously, because of rabies.
- 18:43SPEAKER_05: Sounds like the great outdoors.
- 18:45SPEAKER_05: Yeah, this sounds like a tent story.
- 18:47SPEAKER_03: With uh what's his name?
- 18:48SPEAKER_03: Swinging the freaking racket at the guy's face with the bat on his face.
- 18:52SPEAKER_03: Hey, Mafia Rabbit.
- 18:54SPEAKER_04: That was just a Thursday in Wisconsin while I was growing up.
- 18:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 18:57SPEAKER_04: I grew up in the great outdoors, so I know exactly what it was.
- 19:00SPEAKER_03: It's an everyday occurrence.
- 19:02SPEAKER_03: That's right.
- 19:02SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 19:02SPEAKER_05: Well, and it says the bat's teeth are very small and you don't know if you've been bitten or not.
- 19:07SPEAKER_05: And with rabies being essentially fatal, it needs to be treated.
- 19:11SPEAKER_05: He recommends such situations always be treated with caution.
- 19:14SPEAKER_05: If you wake up in a room with a bat in your room or your kid's room are in your house, you have to assume the worst.
- 19:21SPEAKER_05: The bat ultimately tested negative for rabies.
- 19:24SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but did mafia might test negative for rabbit.
- 19:27SPEAKER_03: I know.
- 19:28SPEAKER_03: See, we have to get the STD first to go.
- 19:30SPEAKER_03: When I I was on the third floor of my apartment, and the lady in the second floor, she she called me and said a bat flew in.
- 19:38SPEAKER_03: So I grabbed a big blanket and I knocked it down.
- 19:42SPEAKER_03: I grabbed it.
- 19:43SPEAKER_03: I had big thick uh leather gloves on, and I had it in my hand, and I like taking a picture.
- 19:50SPEAKER_03: I said tell told Michelle, take a picture.
- 19:53SPEAKER_03: I had it, and it's like I didn't see an ugly face and I threw it out the window.
- 20:00SPEAKER_05: Oh, you freed it.
- 20:02SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 20:02SPEAKER_05: That was like a catch-and-release kind of thing.
- 20:04SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I didn't pull a nozzle and just didn't go and get it tested.
- 20:08SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 20:09SPEAKER_03: Well, I know when Will tested.
- 20:11SPEAKER_03: That's right.
- 20:11SPEAKER_03: That's why I got that twitch.
- 20:13SPEAKER_05: That's why he's at Twitch and has these bat weapons he brings to our meetings.
- 20:16SPEAKER_05: That's right.
- 20:19SPEAKER_05: I know when Will heard about something small and fuzzy went in a woman's mouth while sleeping.
- 20:24SPEAKER_05: You did say you you wanted a lawyer involved before you answered any questions.
- 20:30SPEAKER_05: So I thought I was I was good.
- 20:31SPEAKER_05: I was good.
- 20:32SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 20:32SPEAKER_05: Is this in Darren's territory?
- 20:34SPEAKER_05: Because a bat is technically like a winged mammal.
- 20:37SPEAKER_05: Or tiny and fuzzy.
- 20:38SPEAKER_05: Tiny and fuzzy.
- 20:39SPEAKER_05: It's like an evil bird.
- 20:41SPEAKER_06: I was thinking about it.
- 20:42SPEAKER_06: I mean, like they their comment was, you know, if there's a bat in your room, you've got to be prepared for the worst.
- 20:48SPEAKER_06: It's like, well, what are you supposed to prepare for?
- 20:50SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 20:51SPEAKER_06: I mean, really.
- 20:52SPEAKER_03: How the They can't see.
- 20:56SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they can't, yeah.
- 20:57SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 20:58SPEAKER_03: They go by sound.
- 20:59SPEAKER_06: Well, it's funny.
- 21:01SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 21:02SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it's funny uh yesterday because we were meeting with the Georgetown guys, and I had a long-term rental uh in Georgetown, and they have mosquito issues down there, especially with standing water and everything.
- 21:12SPEAKER_05: And the owner, who shall not be named, told me that she is not going to have any mosquito spraying and she's going to install bat houses everywhere, and that I am have been informed not to tell the tenants what she's gonna do because it was in the woods and surrounded by everything.
- 21:30SPEAKER_05: And uh I called Terminex and Orkin and uh explained her uh strategy of what she was gonna do, and they said that has to be one of the most retarded things you can ever do to get rid of mosquitoes.
- 21:43SPEAKER_05: Half of bats don't even eat mosquitoes, right?
- 21:45SPEAKER_05: And they all have diseases.
- 21:47SPEAKER_05: And if you have enough bat houses where they start accumulating, yeah, you have to get this wild animal control involved to remove them.
- 21:55SPEAKER_04: The other problem is guano, the bat guano.
- 21:58SPEAKER_05: That was also the dropping.
- 22:00SPEAKER_06: What's that?
- 22:01SPEAKER_05: It's like their bat poop.
- 22:02SPEAKER_05: Oh it has all sorts of diseases and bacteria and that.
- 22:06SPEAKER_06: So in the Central Valley, okay, Modesto area, Central Valley of California, it's a huge freaking space.
- 22:13SPEAKER_06: They the you know the cities got upset because people are complaining about the swallows and the swallow nests and the poop that they leave.
- 22:22SPEAKER_06: So they did a citywide effort to wipe out the swallows.
- 22:25SPEAKER_06: Let's let's just reduce their population.
- 22:28SPEAKER_06: When they did that, they were overcome by mosquitoes and bugs.
- 22:31SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 22:31SPEAKER_06: Just covered in them.
- 22:32SPEAKER_06: Covered in them.
- 22:33SPEAKER_05: The swallows, is that the Virginia doctor?
- 22:35SPEAKER_05: Or who are we talking about?
- 22:39SPEAKER_04: They won't return to Capistrano.
- 22:42SPEAKER_06: Yeah, exactly.
- 22:42SPEAKER_06: So they wiped them out and they were covered in bugs.
- 22:45SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 22:46SPEAKER_06: And increased disease, too, on top of it.
- 22:48SPEAKER_05: What is a swallow?
- 22:48SPEAKER_05: Is that a bat?
- 22:49SPEAKER_04: No, it's a small bird.
- 22:50SPEAKER_06: It's a small bird.
- 22:50SPEAKER_06: Oh, okay.
- 22:51SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 22:52SPEAKER_04: Yeah, like a barn swallow or something like that.
- 22:54SPEAKER_04: I don't know these Wisconsin barn bugs.
- 22:59SPEAKER_06: They eat a ton of bugs.
- 23:00SPEAKER_03: You want them around.
- 23:02SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 23:02SPEAKER_03: So why did they get rid of them?
- 23:04SPEAKER_03: It's unsightly.
- 23:06SPEAKER_03: It's unsightly.
- 23:06SPEAKER_06: They were unsightly.
- 23:07SPEAKER_06: They poop.
- 23:08SPEAKER_03: Huh.
- 23:09SPEAKER_03: Well, it's like we have the Canadian geese, they poop everywhere.
- 23:14SPEAKER_05: Well, that's what led to the surfside thing.
- 23:16SPEAKER_04: And they did very similar to my there was a hospital they had on uh unintended consequences from Reason TV.
- 23:23SPEAKER_04: Uh there was a hospital that had uh a bird problem, and so then they put these nets up around their their um trees and so on, and uh they got rid of the birds, but then they had these uh the birds were eating these little um I guess they were kind of like uh these furry worms that were there, little biting tribles that they had, which were even worse.
- 23:50SPEAKER_04: And so at a hospital, yeah, and and again, unintended consequences when you start screwing with with the balance of mother nature.
- 23:59SPEAKER_03: Here's my balance on the mother nature.
- 24:02SPEAKER_03: When the Canadians come down, the winter Canadian, uh huh.
- 24:05SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna open their cars up and shove the geese in there, then take the fucking geese back up to Canadian.
- 24:10SPEAKER_05: That would still be better than the surfside strategy, which is basically to throw you in jail for feeding a rabbit.
- 24:16SPEAKER_03: No, I just hey you can't your canucks came down and brought your birds, take your birds with you.
- 24:22SPEAKER_05: Yeah, you snowbirds, bring your Canadian geese back with you.
- 24:27SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 24:28SPEAKER_06: Unintended consequences.
- 24:31SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it is interesting.
- 24:32SPEAKER_05: The ecology of nature is like the free market.
- 24:35SPEAKER_05: Yeah, spontaneous adaptive order.
- 24:37SPEAKER_05: Yeah, and when you try to micromanage it, you don't have you don't realize the unintended consequences.
- 24:43SPEAKER_03: Sounds cruel.
- 24:44SPEAKER_03: You know, you know what?
- 24:45SPEAKER_03: I'd rather see the birds flying around.
- 24:48SPEAKER_03: Because the moment you don't see birds flying around, you better get your gas in a gas mask suit.
- 24:56SPEAKER_03: You're dead.
- 24:57SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you're dead.
- 24:58SPEAKER_03: Because they're the first ones to warn you there's radiation or something in the air that shouldn't be that's right.
- 25:05SPEAKER_05: Well, and the birds were also keeping Will's hairy worm that bites away.
- 25:10SPEAKER_05: That's when they open that up.
- 25:12SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 25:13SPEAKER_04: Um and uh, you know, being an ex-employee of Playboy Clubs, I am against uh feeding the bunnies.
- 25:20SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 25:20SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
- 25:21SPEAKER_05: That's the one thing he grew at Surfside on.
- 25:23SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 25:24SPEAKER_05: You have to cut these bunnies back.
- 25:25SPEAKER_04: I mean, I would go for uh the lunch breaks at the cafeteria and they would eat all the um all the shrimp out of the shrimp salad.
- 25:34unknown: Yeah.
- 25:35SPEAKER_06: They would?
- 25:35SPEAKER_04: Yeah, the bunnies would.
- 25:36SPEAKER_04: Like a bunch of parasitic.
- 25:38SPEAKER_06: Shrimp.
- 25:38SPEAKER_06: They'd eat the shrimp.
- 25:39SPEAKER_06: Interesting.
- 25:40SPEAKER_04: Yeah, the Playboy bunnies were terrible.
- 25:42SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but they'd never eat Will Shrimp.
- 25:46SPEAKER_04: I swear, I swear all of them, all of them had a and and it's not true though.
- 25:51SPEAKER_04: But most of them, not well now not the CD, but uh smoking, uh smoking habit, like packs a day.
- 25:57SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah, grably stuff.
- 25:59SPEAKER_04: But there are there are a couple, there were a couple, there were a couple that um that were extremely uh nice, you know.
- 26:06SPEAKER_04: But it was the Lucille ball.
- 26:09SPEAKER_03: That's because they're all they of course they're nervous and smoking cigarettes, all that ass grabbing.
- 26:14SPEAKER_05: Yeah, once you hefner starts walking around, yeah, they get all nervous.
- 26:18SPEAKER_05: I'll tell you.
- 26:19SPEAKER_03: That dirty old man.
- 26:21SPEAKER_04: In Lake Geneva, they were pretty they were pretty uh policeable, I guess.
- 26:28SPEAKER_04: They they really clamped down and make sure that uh they were protected well.
- 26:32SPEAKER_04: And they they had their own living area.
- 26:34SPEAKER_04: They had the bunny dorms and stuff like that.
- 26:35SPEAKER_05: Oh, I thought policeable, that that's kind of like pimp language.
- 26:38SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 26:41SPEAKER_03: That's what Epstein really wanted to be.
- 26:42SPEAKER_03: He wanted to be he'll have to be able to do that.
- 26:44SPEAKER_04: Out of all the places I've ever worked, though, they had the most rules for uh the male employees.
- 26:50SPEAKER_04: We were we we were not allowed to not only were we not allowed to uh take our shirts off, and it would get hot in some of those areas that we're uh outside working in.
- 27:02SPEAKER_04: Um, but uh they wouldn't they wouldn't let us wear tank tops.
- 27:04SPEAKER_04: We had to do that.
- 27:05SPEAKER_05: Plus to protect you from the bunnies.
- 27:07SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah, right.
- 27:08SPEAKER_04: Uh but they wouldn't let us wear tank tops, and they discouraged us from uh pulling the sleeves up, but I did that anyway because I would get so so hot every once in a while.
- 27:17SPEAKER_04: Oh like James Mean style, exactly your cigarette pack and the exact thing.
- 27:20SPEAKER_03: I could see I could see Chip sitting in the chair over there all hot and the bunnies over there with the fans.
- 27:27SPEAKER_04: I've told this story before.
- 27:28SPEAKER_04: I I I worked in the uh sand trap so much that I I got so much sunlight that I got really, really dark.
- 27:34SPEAKER_04: And I was uh sitting in the Cushman cart one time waiting for some people to to uh go to uh have their foursome go through, and their their wives were sitting in the uh golf cart next to us, and uh the one lady turned to me and she's like uh saying something to me like, Oh darling, you know, uh what where does she sound like Murray Rothbard?
- 27:57SPEAKER_04: She said, Yeah, a lot is kind of scary.
- 28:00SPEAKER_04: And uh and and she said, and and um what's your nationality?
- 28:04SPEAKER_04: I'm from Mexico.
- 28:05SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 28:07SPEAKER_04: What I said again, I said, no, I I you know mostly German, a little bit of French.
- 28:12SPEAKER_04: And she goes, Oh honey, you don't have to be embarrassed.
- 28:15SPEAKER_04: I think you mulatto people are beautiful.
- 28:18SPEAKER_04: I told that story.
- 28:19SPEAKER_04: Will looks like a hybrid.
- 28:20SPEAKER_04: I called I called my mother, I called my mother in Georgia and she just died laughing.
- 28:26SPEAKER_04: And she had she had my aunt take a photograph of me and uh send it to her.
- 28:31SPEAKER_04: I mean, this is back in the day.
- 28:32SPEAKER_04: We gotta take that picture.
- 28:33SPEAKER_04: I know.
- 28:34SPEAKER_04: Will is halfway.
- 28:35SPEAKER_04: I I I can show you, I can show you.
- 28:37SPEAKER_04: I actually was getting a little bit lighter, uh, but my um, you know, right after that I reported for uh school, so I was still a little bit dark for my uh my well is half race.
- 28:50SPEAKER_05: He's half he's half German, half Lurch.

- 29:44SPEAKER_03: It was you need to put that image.
- 29:46SPEAKER_03: He almost made the Epstein files on that one.
- 29:49SPEAKER_03: I know.
- 29:50SPEAKER_03: He was one of the Epstein victims.
- 29:53SPEAKER_05: You need to put that image somewhere on the promo picture for this.
- 29:58SPEAKER_05: Do the AI, but then you need to put that in there.
- 30:00SPEAKER_04: I will do that.
- 30:01SPEAKER_04: I will, I will definitely uh as we're speaking right now, yeah text it to Darren.
- 30:10SPEAKER_04: The other side of trip.
- 30:12SPEAKER_04: I will I will do the uh the little crop and everything else of uh the beautiful scared look person Why am I hair?
- 30:24SPEAKER_05: Young, tan uh will getting ready to get molested at the Playboy mansion.

- 30:33SPEAKER_03: I know he got molested by some of them women.
- 30:36SPEAKER_03: Yeah, not all the shrimp.
- 30:38SPEAKER_01: No shrimp.
- 30:44SPEAKER_04: The molestation happened in Lake Geneva in in um at olive oil's and Papa Papooli's uh Popeye's uh is this like a Loch Ness monster story?
- 30:53SPEAKER_05: Nah, it's Lake Geneva.
- 30:55SPEAKER_04: It's actually a true mafia story, but I'll get I can only say that off the air.
- 31:01SPEAKER_06: Is this about your ball landing in the wrong hole?
- 31:06SPEAKER_05: What kind of gulf was happening in this Playboy mansion?
- 31:10SPEAKER_05: It was just fabulous.
- 31:15SPEAKER_05: Well, speaking of uh the Playboy mansion and uh and uh aquatic smells, truckload, a truckload of squid spills into the street in Rhode Island, creating a smelly mess in the summer heat.
- 31:32SPEAKER_05: This is the kind of a tie-in to the the old Playboy days, it's opposed to me.
- 31:36SPEAKER_01: It's Rhode Island.
- 31:38SPEAKER_05: Yeah, Rhode Island already has a fishy smell.
- 31:40SPEAKER_05: You don't need to drop the squid.
- 31:43SPEAKER_05: All of New England has a vague whiff of fish.
- 31:49SPEAKER_05: It says a tractor trailer rollover sent a truckload of squid spilling into a Rhode Island roadway, leaving a stench as they sat in the road for hours in the summer heat.
- 32:01SPEAKER_05: Local authorities have dubbed it the squid apocalypse of 26.
- 32:06SPEAKER_05: Squid popcorn.
- 32:07SPEAKER_05: There's not much going on in Rhode Island, so this is a big story.
- 32:10SPEAKER_03: How much squid was on there?
- 32:13SPEAKER_05: Uh it set a truckload.
- 32:16SPEAKER_05: It's it was it was a warm, sunny day in the coastal town of Narraganset.
- 32:22SPEAKER_03: We got called the town to pick bring uh a payloader up.
- 32:26SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we need to wait for for Mafia Mike.
- 32:28SPEAKER_05: Hey, how much squid was just dumped out there?
- 32:31SPEAKER_05: Squid pock gilllips.
- 32:33SPEAKER_05: When the spill happened Sunday, the police captain Ryan Prest said he was told that the scene started to smell so bad as the squid sat in the sun for a few hours.
- 32:43SPEAKER_05: The fully loaded trailer was taking the squid to a processing facility out of town when the trailer dislodged and tipped on its side as the driver was navigating a turn, spilling a substantial portion of its calamari cargo.
- 32:59SPEAKER_05: The police department said, Was this Steve Whitt?
- 33:01SPEAKER_05: Uh on the Rhode Island.
- 33:05SPEAKER_05: Yeah, he is calamari cargo.
- 33:07SPEAKER_05: He's been quiet recently.
- 33:09SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 33:09SPEAKER_05: Has he been near the New England area?
- 33:11SPEAKER_05: Uh police responded at 9 27 a.m.
- 33:14SPEAKER_05: and the intersection wasn't reopened until 5 p.m.
- 33:18SPEAKER_05: Video of the scene showed a trailer on its side with massive piles of squid on the road.
- 33:23SPEAKER_05: Uh the a fisherman there said squid has a distinctive odor to it, said Richard Stevens.
- 33:30SPEAKER_05: It can be a very foul-smelling odor, especially if it lands on the road and stays there for a while.
- 33:36SPEAKER_05: Where are the birds?
- 33:39SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we're the birds when you need them.
- 33:40SPEAKER_03: This is another reason you don't get rid of them.
- 33:43SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'm kind of surprised.
- 33:45SPEAKER_03: Where the hell are the seagulls?
- 33:47SPEAKER_04: And I ran all over.
- 33:49SPEAKER_04: I ran so far away.
- 33:52SPEAKER_05: See, now even less people are gonna go to Rhode Island.
- 33:55SPEAKER_05: The flock camera of seagulls.
- 33:57SPEAKER_05: And I ran it did say uh the driver and passenger in the truck cab were not injured and no other vehicles were involved.
- 34:06SPEAKER_05: But it's unclear if any enforcement action will take place.
- 34:09SPEAKER_05: We haven't issued any citations yet.
- 34:12SPEAKER_05: But you know Squid Poculus 2026.
- 34:18SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 34:19SPEAKER_05: Well, people did originally think it was the only fans convention coming through, but luckily they found out it was uh it was a squid accident.
- 34:26SPEAKER_05: You know, it smells familiar.
- 34:29SPEAKER_05: I knew it started to smell when that damn convention center opened.
- 34:34SPEAKER_05: But the the content creators weren't the main cause of this one.
- 34:38SPEAKER_05: So no foot juice, no foot juice, just squishy fish juice.
- 34:44SPEAKER_05: Darren, how can birds be incorporated to this to handle a swit apocalypse?
- 34:50SPEAKER_06: I mean, you already got it.
- 34:51SPEAKER_06: I mean, birds would mop that up pretty darn quick.
- 34:54SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 34:55SPEAKER_06: Yeah, all different types of birds are gonna do that.
- 34:57SPEAKER_06: And then by the time nighttime hits, it's gonna be covered in all different types of animals.
- 35:01SPEAKER_03: Well, the seagulls, especially, because when you used me and my dad used to go out fishing, you wouldn't see a seagull in sight until you start gutting the fish.
- 35:09SPEAKER_03: As soon as you got them, they come from everywhere.
- 35:11SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 35:11SPEAKER_03: Where the hell all these birds come from?
- 35:13SPEAKER_05: Yeah, fish or them pescatarians.
- 35:16SPEAKER_04: Well, just even getting your bait out gets those things out, yeah.
- 35:22SPEAKER_05: Would uh would there be any uh people out there sniffing the squid uh anti-sex offenders?
- 35:29SPEAKER_04: We didn't know Silverback was around, yeah.
- 35:34SPEAKER_05: Silverback has not been seen for many weeks.
- 35:36SPEAKER_04: He needs to get on the podcast just to defend himself.
- 35:39SPEAKER_05: I know.
- 35:41SPEAKER_05: Keep abusing him, he'll show up.
- 35:43SPEAKER_05: I know he keeps threatening to come on, but you know, he's always out of town, you know, going through New England or whatever he's doing.
- 35:52SPEAKER_05: But I thought that that was a silly one leading into our super glue story.
- 35:57SPEAKER_04: Oh man.
- 35:58SPEAKER_05: This may be the story of the day.
- 36:01SPEAKER_04: Oops.
- 36:02SPEAKER_05: Yeah, oops.
- 36:02SPEAKER_05: Yeah, this is not the kind of do-it-yourself stuff you're supposed to do.
- 36:06SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 36:07SPEAKER_05: Uh now, of course, is there Wi-Fi in here?
- 36:10SPEAKER_05: Because I'm not here.
- 36:11SPEAKER_05: I have the file.
- 36:12SPEAKER_05: Here we oh, I have it.
- 36:13SPEAKER_05: I have it.
- 36:14SPEAKER_05: Oh, there you go.
- 36:15SPEAKER_05: Oh, he has it like a vacation rental.
- 36:16SPEAKER_05: He puts it in a little card.
- 36:18SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I used to have my uh before it became a store storage room, it was a guest room, and I had it set up almost like a vacation rental.
- 36:26SPEAKER_04: I had a bunch of things for part of the sub-detting for people, yeah.
- 36:30SPEAKER_04: To to uh you know, like little uh coupons for them and um the the what do they call it?
- 36:37SPEAKER_04: The monster book.
- 36:38SPEAKER_04: Monster book.
- 36:39SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 36:39SPEAKER_04: What were you running?
- 36:40SPEAKER_04: A brothel over here?
- 36:42SPEAKER_05: Hey, he's close to ocean book.
- 36:44SPEAKER_05: Don't don't ask, don't tell.
- 36:47SPEAKER_04: I mean, it's hard enough for me to find a date.
- 36:49SPEAKER_05: You know?
- 36:50SPEAKER_04: You gotta get it.
- 36:51SPEAKER_04: You gotta think so.
- 36:52SPEAKER_03: You got to think it's hidden over here.
- 36:54SPEAKER_04: You got you gotta leverage what you can.
- 36:56SPEAKER_05: Yeah, he's about 2,000 feet from Ocean Boulevard.
- 36:59SPEAKER_05: So we'll go that homeless wheel.
- 37:03SPEAKER_05: Wash him off, bring them in here.
- 37:05SPEAKER_04: Woman, put that in that crack pipe.
- 37:06SPEAKER_04: Do you need a place to stay?
- 37:10SPEAKER_04: Just putting heads on beds.
- 37:13SPEAKER_04: That's right.
- 37:13SPEAKER_01: That's right.
- 37:14SPEAKER_05: I'm I'm I'm doing my best to help out the homeless.
- 37:18SPEAKER_05: Oh, you don't have to be in that tent, honey.
- 37:20SPEAKER_05: Come in, my little sublided room.
- 37:22SPEAKER_03: He could be in my tent.
- 37:25SPEAKER_05: Well, this is a 41-year-old man who was hospitalized after a horrifying do-it-yourself treatment for incontinence.
- 37:33SPEAKER_05: Oh my god.
- 37:35SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 37:39SPEAKER_01: This can't be so what is his frickin' IQ?
- 37:42SPEAKER_05: That's what I want to know.
- 37:43SPEAKER_01: This can't be good.
- 37:45SPEAKER_05: Oh.
- 37:45SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 37:46SPEAKER_05: You're not supposed to do the Home Depot medical strategy.
- 37:49SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 37:49SPEAKER_05: Uh 41-year-old man having incontinence and trouble controlling his bladder for a month or so.
- 37:56SPEAKER_05: He took matters into his own hands and he caused a much more serious medical emergency.
- 38:01SPEAKER_05: Do you think?
- 38:02SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 38:02SPEAKER_05: By the time he got to doctors, he couldn't urinate at all, which caused excruciating pain.
- 38:08SPEAKER_05: I would think.
- 38:09SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 38:09SPEAKER_05: Doctors were shocked to find that the cause was a fix the patient tried to implement on his own.
- 38:15SPEAKER_05: It turns out the man had super glued his urethra shut over the course of two weeks to treat his incontinence.
- 38:24SPEAKER_05: That'll cause some incontinence.
- 38:25SPEAKER_05: He made his one-eyed snake blind.
- 38:27SPEAKER_03: Yeah, let me put some gorilla glue up my background.
- 38:34SPEAKER_03: This will be a water wiggle.
- 38:37SPEAKER_03: Now it's a two now, it's a one-eyed snake with a patch.
- 38:40SPEAKER_05: Yeah, this is a different type of digital thing.
- 38:45SPEAKER_05: A new case report, I guess this happened in Iran.
- 38:52SPEAKER_05: Yeah, they've been stretched out lately.
- 38:55SPEAKER_05: It reveals the strange details of how he landed himself in the operating table and had a 10-centimeter rod-shaped solid block removed from his penis.
- 39:04SPEAKER_05: Oh my god.
- 39:05SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 39:06SPEAKER_05: So doctors who cared for the can note that foreign objects are stuck into penises all the time.
- 39:13SPEAKER_05: Tweezers, wires, pencils, vish hooks, and that's just Will.
- 39:17SPEAKER_05: Then we just get the needles, thermometers.
- 39:20SPEAKER_05: These are really.
- 39:21SPEAKER_05: Oh my god.
- 39:21SPEAKER_05: Is that real?
- 39:22SPEAKER_05: This is New York Post.
- 39:23SPEAKER_03: Oh, it's New York Post.
- 39:25SPEAKER_05: It's gotta be fake.
- 39:26SPEAKER_05: Oh my god.
- 39:27SPEAKER_05: This has to be verified and true.
- 39:31SPEAKER_05: And it says also thermometers and hot wax are things that are commonly found in the world.
- 39:37SPEAKER_05: That's that's a different type of waxing.
- 39:39SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 39:39SPEAKER_04: That's uh I mean you you know things things drip and you're like, well, whoops.
- 39:44SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that would be that'd be more of a hot wax on the head.
- 39:48SPEAKER_04: No, I mean I mean there there are those people that have that practice where they drip hot wax on themselves, but yeah.
- 39:55SPEAKER_05: Yeah, that's part of the extra bedroom.
- 39:57SPEAKER_05: What you do to those Yopon women.
- 40:04SPEAKER_05: Usually it's for some sort of sexual gratification or disinhibited or disturbed behavior as a result of psychological or drug-induced mental change.
- 40:13SPEAKER_05: There you go, Muffy Mike.
- 40:15SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 40:17SPEAKER_05: How is that helping my sex life?
- 40:19SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
- 40:20SPEAKER_05: There's some weirdos out there.
- 40:22SPEAKER_05: Deranged.
- 40:24SPEAKER_05: There's some famous Richard Gere stories I won't comment on.
- 40:28SPEAKER_05: Uh and who uh allegedly.
- 40:32SPEAKER_05: Allegedly.
- 40:33SPEAKER_05: No matter where however this podcast gets thrown out and analyzed by AI.
- 40:37SPEAKER_05: Uh, it even happens with curious kids.
- 40:40SPEAKER_05: I guess they use the uh the Elmer's glue.
- 40:42SPEAKER_02: Uh-huh.
- 40:45SPEAKER_05: Yeah, that's uh but this man didn't have any history of psychiatric disorders, the doctor said.
- 40:51SPEAKER_05: It appears he simply wanted to treat his incontinence.
- 40:53SPEAKER_05: He had dropped super glue into his urethra over the course of two weeks.
- 40:58SPEAKER_05: At first it helped, but after four days he started to feel a burning pain while peeing and couldn't produce much pee.
- 41:06SPEAKER_04: Why does it hurt when I pee?
- 41:10SPEAKER_04: That's out to you, Frank Zappa fans.
- 41:13SPEAKER_05: By the time he got medical care, he had a complete urinary retention or inability to pee at all.
- 41:20SPEAKER_05: This this is a medical emergency that can cause irreversible damage to the kidneys and severe blood infections.
- 41:25SPEAKER_05: His bladder's rate explodes.
- 41:26SPEAKER_05: I know, yeah, internal bleeding.
- 41:28SPEAKER_05: When he got to the doctor's office, the penis was erect.
- 41:35SPEAKER_05: I don't think it was built or flood.
- 41:37SPEAKER_05: Yeah, not by natural cause.
- 41:41SPEAKER_05: This isn't ED idea.
- 41:42SPEAKER_05: There's another medical way to deal with that.
- 41:44SPEAKER_05: It's possible all the super glue could have played a role in that.
- 41:48SPEAKER_04: Uh-huh.
- 41:48SPEAKER_05: Uh it was a four-inch block of glue.
- 41:52SPEAKER_05: I guess we know the size of the erection now.
- 41:54SPEAKER_05: Doctors were unable to feel the hardened glue inside the penis and saw brittle fragments of glue at the opening of the penis head.
- 42:01SPEAKER_03: Why didn't they just get a blonde to stroke them off?
- 42:05SPEAKER_05: I yeah, I think he was a little clogged.
- 42:07SPEAKER_05: That would have exploded.
- 42:08SPEAKER_04: There's a boycott going on.
- 42:10SPEAKER_04: No blondes coming in.
- 42:12SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 42:12SPEAKER_05: That would have caused it.
- 42:14SPEAKER_05: Trump made sure of that.
- 42:17SPEAKER_05: Doctors attempted a cystoscopy where a light and camera are inserted for me.
- 42:26SPEAKER_05: Cyclops.
- 42:27SPEAKER_05: I'm the one-eyed snake.
- 42:30SPEAKER_05: Yeah, this is a blocked-up cyclops.
- 42:32SPEAKER_05: This is the third eye.
- 42:34SPEAKER_05: That's right.
- 42:36SPEAKER_05: We know these medical terms.
- 42:37SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we'll we'll say unofficial medical doctor.
- 42:41SPEAKER_05: He takes care of these homeless women from Yopon.
- 42:44SPEAKER_05: That is where a light and camera are inserted into the urethra and bladder to see what's going on, but the passage was totally blocked.
- 42:52SPEAKER_05: To access the blockage, they made a cut on the penis head and flush the urethra with saline.
- 42:58SPEAKER_05: That's what I said.
- 42:59SPEAKER_05: They created a second hole in it.
- 43:01SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 43:01SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 43:02SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 43:02SPEAKER_05: Did uh this allowed the solid super glue block to unstick itself from the urethral wall, and the 10 centimeter almost four-inch block of glue was pulled out with forceps.
- 43:14SPEAKER_05: He was stitched back up.
- 43:16SPEAKER_05: And yeah.
- 43:17SPEAKER_05: And shortly after surgery, his urine was back to normal.
- 43:20SPEAKER_05: Six weeks later, he's back to normal health.
- 43:22SPEAKER_03: So this is uh I guess you gotta the doctor has to ask him, are you gonna do this again?
- 43:29SPEAKER_03: Yeah, do we have to put you in a padded room over this?
- 43:32SPEAKER_05: Uh but yeah, I I don't know if this is a medical innovation or kind of a dark one over there.
- 43:40SPEAKER_05: Strap a bottle to it.
- 43:41SPEAKER_05: Well, I think with incognits you might get headaches and he wanted to, you know, he couldn't pee and it wouldn't come out and his bladder would get full.
- 43:49SPEAKER_04: Well, if he couldn't pee and he could it couldn't come out, why would you block it up?
- 43:53SPEAKER_05: Yeah, why would you block it up?
- 43:54SPEAKER_05: I don't think there's any rhyme or reason to his do-it-yourself thing.
- 43:57SPEAKER_04: I think his his incontinence was that he was dribbling.
- 44:00SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I think this meet they meant incompetence.
- 44:02SPEAKER_05: Yeah, there you go.
- 44:04SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 44:04SPEAKER_04: No, I just don't think he can control it.
- 44:06SPEAKER_04: He probably had dribbling and was urinating.
- 44:09SPEAKER_05: Well, what do you do when he gets constipated?
- 44:11SPEAKER_05: Yeah, is he gonna put the uh the drywall mud up his ass or what other Home Depot ideas do we have here?
- 44:19SPEAKER_05: Well, I get the the coffee flush.
- 44:23SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 44:24SPEAKER_04: I mean that was the other thing.
- 44:27SPEAKER_04: Do you remember back, I don't know, it was about uh uh ten years ago?
- 44:31SPEAKER_04: Uh Darren can help me with this, I'm sure.
- 44:33SPEAKER_04: Uh, when it was so uh popular for people to get those coffee enemas.
- 44:38unknown: I think that's a good thing.
- 44:38SPEAKER_06: Yeah, no, people still do that.
- 44:40SPEAKER_06: Do they do that in your little shops or no, no, no, we don't know.
- 44:47SPEAKER_06: Nobody talks about enemies.
- 44:48SPEAKER_06: I don't think they've ever gotten that's still that's still a popular thing, and I think they claim that it cleans out the system completely.
- 44:56SPEAKER_06: That the coffee refurbishes you with, I don't know, some form of nutrient.
- 45:01SPEAKER_03: I caffe three cups of coffee.
- 45:22SPEAKER_06: Drug addicts tend to do that.
- 45:24SPEAKER_06: And coffee enemas, I I I mean, I've not done anything like this.
- 45:28SPEAKER_06: Uh-huh.
- 45:28SPEAKER_06: But this is just whatever.
- 45:30SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah.
- 45:30SPEAKER_06: You deny too much.
- 45:32SPEAKER_06: Just pop a pill.
- 45:33SPEAKER_05: We have some new cigar ideas for Will's next podcast.
- 45:37SPEAKER_05: Just smoke them in a different way.
- 45:41SPEAKER_05: I was going to say, I just get caffeine through caffeine drinks.
- 45:43SPEAKER_05: I don't know if you did a caffeine enema.
- 45:46SPEAKER_05: Um would it absorb faster than just going under your tongue or something?
- 45:49SPEAKER_05: Again, I wish I could go directly in the case.
- 45:54SPEAKER_05: I know.
- 45:55SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 45:55SPEAKER_05: Will's pretending not to know the answer.
- 45:57SPEAKER_06: I I think I think you're you're dealing with like a three times more potent, but I think it's it's something about cleaning out your system.
- 46:04SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 46:04SPEAKER_06: Seriously.
- 46:05SPEAKER_05: All right.
- 46:05SPEAKER_06: That's why they do it.
- 46:07SPEAKER_05: Well, Bill Clinton put cigars in certain spots.
- 46:10SPEAKER_05: I mean, nothing wrong with the cigars with Will podcast.
- 46:13SPEAKER_04: I guess that's what you call infusion.
- 46:16SPEAKER_05: Nicotine infusion.
- 46:17SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I actually, yeah, I actually reached out to Dean at White Ash Cigar.
- 46:21SPEAKER_04: Uh he's been experimenting with infusing cigars.
- 46:25SPEAKER_04: And um we we saw that.
- 46:26SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 46:26SPEAKER_04: Mike and I saw that.
- 46:27SPEAKER_04: He's got this little thing, it's like these little glass bulbs.
- 46:30SPEAKER_03: And he puts the cigar in it, and that's a sick.
- 46:32SPEAKER_04: And then there's the liquid is underneath it that would have the absorbs in.
- 46:36SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and it absorbs into the stuff.
- 46:38SPEAKER_04: So um what is he inclating the tobacco with?
- 46:42SPEAKER_04: Oh well, it could be with uh like uh a cherry could be any kind of like liquor or liquor or something like that, yeah.
- 46:50SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah.
- 46:51SPEAKER_06: So you can do like a bourbon infusion?
- 46:53SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 46:53SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 46:54SPEAKER_03: So you can get drunk while you're smoking.
- 46:56SPEAKER_03: There you go.
- 46:57SPEAKER_05: Well, if you get one of those you get one of those beaker sized uh bong looking things, you could do a reverse bong hit, but just you sit on it.
- 47:06SPEAKER_04: Well, let's ask our our expert.
- 47:08SPEAKER_04: Darren, can you do that?
- 47:10SPEAKER_06: I'm I don't know about that.
- 47:12SPEAKER_06: I mean, I know about infusions, and I know people do all kinds of home-baked infusions and they like to buy infused products.
- 47:19SPEAKER_06: Yeah, you know.
- 47:21SPEAKER_05: They do a lot of weird stuff in San Francisco, but they never brought it that far.
- 47:24SPEAKER_05: That's right.
- 47:25SPEAKER_06: Well, it kind of it's like what really what was really kind of interesting is in Texas, because San Francisco had all these legal things.
- 47:32SPEAKER_06: They could legally do all kinds of stuff, but that kind of also limited them because they were just always searching for the highest THC, right?
- 47:41SPEAKER_06: Like that that was the market's goal, highest TC THC.
- 47:44SPEAKER_06: Whereas places like Texas, where they had restrictions, they created all kinds of weird infusions.
- 47:50SPEAKER_06: So they were infusing different cannabinoids with with hemp for flavor.
- 47:56SPEAKER_06: So you weren't seeing that in San Francisco.
- 47:59SPEAKER_06: You kind of saw it here in the South, other parts of the South, but Texas was really big on it.
- 48:04SPEAKER_04: There was a somebody um allegedly offered me um a bud that had uh that they called sugar cookie or uh uh I don't know uh Girl Scout cookie or something like that.
- 48:19SPEAKER_04: And it it did.
- 48:20SPEAKER_04: It did when you when you when you burned it, it it had that taste, that little sugary cookery taste.
- 48:27SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 48:28SPEAKER_06: The original Girl Scout Cookies is a I believe a Bay Area strain.
- 48:32SPEAKER_06: Okay, and you know, they breed cannabis for all different types of flavors and effects.
- 48:36SPEAKER_06: And yeah, Cookie Cookies Co.
- 48:39SPEAKER_06: was the name of the company that pretty much marketed that and solidified that strain.
- 48:44SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 48:45SPEAKER_06: And who knows how it's been stretched out, whether you're getting the original strain or infusions to make it more sweet.
- 48:51unknown: Yeah.
- 48:52SPEAKER_05: Sugar cookie thing.
- 48:53SPEAKER_05: I wasn't I thought Bill Cosby was the first person to come up with that.
- 48:56SPEAKER_05: The the sugar cookie.
- 49:00SPEAKER_05: If it has three times the absorption, kids to come.
- 49:04SPEAKER_05: It does make sense that Texas would have a little more experimental.
- 49:07SPEAKER_05: Is that where Larry Craig's from?
- 49:09SPEAKER_05: The the guy who tapped on people's feet, the gay Republican guy.
- 49:13SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 49:14SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 49:14SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 49:15SPEAKER_05: That's it.
- 49:16SPEAKER_06: The Texans were the Texans were, and I know now they can't do anything.
- 49:20SPEAKER_06: Now it's really highly regulated and illegal, yeah, and they go to jail for a long time.
- 49:24SPEAKER_06: But you know, three or four years ago in Texas, they they were treating they were treating hemp cannabis a lot like uh, you know, tobacco.
- 49:34SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 49:35SPEAKER_06: They really were.
- 49:36SPEAKER_06: They weren't smoking it to get high, they were smoking it for the C BD effects of calmingness and for flavor.
- 49:42SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 49:42SPEAKER_06: So they were they were breeding the plant for flavor, and then they were infusing other cannabinoids.
- 49:48SPEAKER_04: Well, there's a hookah.
- 49:49SPEAKER_06: Which was pretty cool, I thought.
- 49:51SPEAKER_04: There was a hookah company that got in trouble because uh they imported some um uh tobacco blends.
- 49:58SPEAKER_04: No, no, tobacco blends from um uh from uh Amsterdam, and they brought them in.
- 50:05SPEAKER_04: And some of the tobacco blends were I guess they were mixed in with uh with different types of hemp.
- 50:12SPEAKER_04: And and not necessarily the THC and you know, high THC and hemp.
- 50:17SPEAKER_04: There were a lot of there were that would have uh I mean, even though they got nailed for you know, I guess I don't know, improper labeling or something like that.
- 50:25SPEAKER_04: But they were kind of all C B D.
- 50:27SPEAKER_04: No, it's like high C B D type of hemp and stuff that was in it.
- 50:31SPEAKER_04: And um people were enjoying it, and then all of a sudden uh I got you know the the powers of bee.
- 50:38SPEAKER_04: Yeah, couldn't couldn't couldn't let people enjoy themselves.
- 50:41SPEAKER_04: And so yeah, that was kind of crazy.
- 50:44SPEAKER_05: That's too bad.
- 50:46SPEAKER_05: Amsterdam, yeah.
- 50:47SPEAKER_05: I did I wouldn't think of Amsterdam having like a weird hemp industry kind of thing, but uh that makes sense.
- 50:52SPEAKER_04: Well, they had I I guess they have quite the distribution because they have so much coming in that they have you know quite a bit of it going out in different ways and fashions and so on.
- 51:01SPEAKER_05: Yeah, with Amsterdam with like the is that the red light district where they kind of decolonized processes.
- 51:06SPEAKER_04: They also have a yeah, they also have a red light district, which is really I mean, it's kind of interesting because uh some of these like a lot of the Las Vegas.
- 51:14SPEAKER_04: Well, yeah, but a lot of those women that are there are married women, you know, and their husbands know it.
- 51:19SPEAKER_06: I I've I've been to the red light district in the 80s when I was in high school.
- 51:24SPEAKER_06: And I mean, disgusting.
- 51:25SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I mean, really, really, really, it's not like stop selling it to Will.
- 51:30SPEAKER_06: That's that's what he likes.
- 51:32SPEAKER_03: Yeah, don't oversell it.
- 51:37SPEAKER_04: No, it's a yeah, I I've I've heard heard the same thing.
- 51:40SPEAKER_04: That's just it's gross.
- 51:41SPEAKER_04: It's not it's really gross.
- 51:43SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but they also have some really high-end uh nice places that are there.
- 51:48SPEAKER_04: They're just rare, very rare.
- 51:50SPEAKER_06: I I I don't know, I've never visited those places.
- 51:53SPEAKER_04: Well, you again uh the the way they they usually organize it is the higher the floor, uh the more exclusive and desirable people are.
- 52:04SPEAKER_04: So the lower the floor is not that good.
- 52:08SPEAKER_06: What they put in the window to sell it, I've never been to those places.
- 52:11SPEAKER_06: I've I've definitely been into the cannabis cafes, which were a blast.
- 52:16SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 52:16SPEAKER_06: Um but I've walked by those places and man was it freaky.
- 52:20SPEAKER_06: I'm like, uh-uh.
- 52:21SPEAKER_06: Not for me.
- 52:22SPEAKER_05: Do they literally have the women in like a glass, like it's a glass they're just spreading their cheeks.
- 52:28SPEAKER_05: No, no, no.
- 52:29SPEAKER_06: I mean, it's not like that, but it's really unappealing.
- 52:32SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it's really unappealing.
- 52:34SPEAKER_04: Yeah, uh and most of them look very bored, yeah.
- 52:37SPEAKER_03: So yeah, I guess what's kind of depressing.
- 52:40SPEAKER_03: Yeah, living in the glass box.
- 52:43SPEAKER_05: Just a sexual object.
- 52:46SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 52:46SPEAKER_04: But I mean, it's uh like I said, a lot of these are married women, um, and their husbands know that what they do for a living.
- 52:53SPEAKER_04: Um, it's very regulated, they're tested all the time and stuff like that, uh, just to see if they've been, you know, touching uh Darren's thing and stuff like that.
- 53:03SPEAKER_06: Okay, nowhere near my thing.
- 53:06SPEAKER_05: If Will's fuzzy worm has been around.
- 53:08SPEAKER_05: That's right.
- 53:08SPEAKER_05: The uh that bites the tribble, yeah.
- 53:12SPEAKER_05: Yeah, giving them courage.
- 53:15SPEAKER_06: I would say in that that regard, there's there's a clip in, and then there's a clip in the pocket.
- 53:21SPEAKER_01: There you go.
- 53:23SPEAKER_06: Like, get away from me, or there's gonna be one in your head.
- 53:29SPEAKER_05: Well, because there's only eight minutes left, I do have a final story.
- 53:33SPEAKER_05: Oh, okay.
- 53:33SPEAKER_05: And it goes back to China and robots.
- 53:38SPEAKER_05: Get on the guys avoided it.
- 53:40SPEAKER_05: I know.
- 53:41SPEAKER_05: You're you, I mean, we talked last week about the Usain Bolt robot that went faster than Usain Bolt.
- 53:46SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 53:47SPEAKER_05: Well, during that Beijing robot uh Olympics thing, yeah, they also mentioned China has had a huge automation boom.
- 53:56SPEAKER_05: They have half of the ro automated robots on Earth, and they have something like two million robots that work in factories.
- 54:04SPEAKER_05: Actual, like with arms and limbs.
- 54:06SPEAKER_03: I think they're using the they're secret setting these robots to be soldiers for the Chinese.
- 54:13SPEAKER_05: Oh, I'm sure.
- 54:14SPEAKER_05: They're already at two million.
- 54:15SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
- 54:16SPEAKER_05: Another billion to go.
- 54:18SPEAKER_05: They'll match the Chinese army.
- 54:19SPEAKER_05: Uh in China, flashy humanoids are a sideshow to the real factory automation boom.
- 54:26SPEAKER_05: While videos online regularly showcase humanoid robots completing tasks like running and jumping, concerns are growing across the globe on how the improved robot workforce could soon replace human employees in factories in China.
- 54:39SPEAKER_05: Across factory floors, robots are taking on welding, lifting, scanning, painting, and assembly work involved in making many everyday products.
- 54:47SPEAKER_05: Manufacturers are accelerating robotic investments on the behalf on the belief that automation can turn out essential goods more quickly, safely, and at a lower cost from electric vehicles to wind turbine parts.
- 55:00SPEAKER_05: According to BBC, China now has more than two million robots operating in its factories, the highest total of any country.
- 55:08SPEAKER_05: The outlet reported that uh China also manufactures more than half of the world's industrial robots.
- 55:14SPEAKER_05: Part of that expansion is linked to Chinese president Xi Jinping's$20 billion effort to make China a leading innovator.
- 55:22SPEAKER_05: At Hang Zhao Technician Institute, students are being taught coding and robotics and are even working on robotic uh medical instruments as schools try to prepare future employees for industries that are becoming automated.
- 55:36SPEAKER_05: And robots can handle repetitive and dangerous tasks, which can lessen physical strain on workers and allow companies to increase production of wildly used goods, such as electric vehicles that could eventually lead to lower costs and make cleaner transportation options that reduce tailpipe pollution.
- 55:53SPEAKER_04: Oh, there you go.
- 55:55SPEAKER_04: That'll solve a big problem for you, Randy.
- 55:59SPEAKER_06: The thing that they're not saying, the thing they're not saying is these things can go 24 hours a day.
- 56:04SPEAKER_06: Yeah, and their cost per electric unit is way, way more efficient than people.
- 56:09SPEAKER_06: And another weirdo thing about it too is these factories that are exclusive robotics, they're pitch dark.
- 56:16SPEAKER_05: Oh, so no electricity.
- 56:18SPEAKER_06: They use like they don't need the light, so they're saving on the energy there, and they're doing regenerative energy.
- 56:26SPEAKER_06: So work in work in produces energy out.
- 56:30SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 56:30SPEAKER_05: Well, I know these repetitive, dangerous tasks.
- 56:33SPEAKER_05: I mean, Will does a lot of that with his spare bedroom.
- 56:35SPEAKER_05: So that's right.
- 56:37SPEAKER_05: It's it's a threat not just to the Chinese.
- 56:39SPEAKER_04: That's right.
- 56:40SPEAKER_03: He gets hazardous, but what happens?
- 56:46SPEAKER_03: What happens if if the robot breaks down?
- 56:48SPEAKER_03: Are the other robots uh able to fix them?
- 56:52SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they're repairing them.
- 56:56SPEAKER_06: They're doing self-repair now.
- 56:57SPEAKER_06: They're doing self-repair now, and I think when when the robots enter the war, I think the Ukraine's a testbed for that because Russia and China are all allies, and so is Iran.
- 57:10SPEAKER_06: Those those three countries are really big on robotics, and they're really big on drones.
- 57:16SPEAKER_06: So, robotic warfare, if if this Ukrainian war continues, I think that's where we're really gonna see it first.
- 57:24SPEAKER_05: They've already been doing it in the Iran War and Russia, Ukraine.
- 57:27SPEAKER_06: Yeah, but the robots, like the four-legged robots uh with attachments on them, I think that's we're gonna see that first.
- 57:36SPEAKER_05: Yeah, you see a robot dog with a rocket launcher on his back.
- 57:39SPEAKER_05: Exactly.
- 57:40SPEAKER_06: Those structure are fast, they're fast, they're mobile, and you know, they're easy.
- 57:45SPEAKER_06: These things are the weirdo thing about this is they're really easy to produce.
- 57:49SPEAKER_06: The hydraulics and the parts are easy.
- 57:52SPEAKER_06: The complexity of the AI and the sort of hive mind about them, complex.
- 57:57SPEAKER_06: Yeah, but you can mass produce these freaking things out of car factories.
- 58:02SPEAKER_03: That'd be like uh Trump and Putin playing chess or robots.
- 58:08SPEAKER_03: Well, it's who's gonna take over what?
- 58:11SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I know.
- 58:12SPEAKER_05: Well, you if you take robotics, Jeremy Kaufman had a comment about he's jealous because they have the Beijing robotic like competition and they get the Usain bolt runners and stuff, and we don't do any of that, and China does all of it, and they export half of the robots for the world.
- 58:29SPEAKER_05: This could be once you mix AI and robotics, which drones are kind of like a robot.
- 58:34SPEAKER_05: It's like a win, they are you know, yeah, it's a low-level one.
- 58:38SPEAKER_03: But that can be if the Chinese are what are you saying, selling the robots?
- 58:43SPEAKER_03: Well, they they export most of them, yeah, to the world.
- 58:46SPEAKER_06: Yeah, they exports and and they sell, but I mean, really, I think moving forward, this whole AI thing really is AI and robotics.
- 58:53SPEAKER_06: It's one thing.
- 58:54SPEAKER_06: So these people are of all these fears about AI, AI's doing this, AI's doing that.
- 58:59SPEAKER_06: Well, in a year's time, it's gonna be AI and robots doing that.
- 59:03SPEAKER_04: Well, Moffi Michael's trying to figure out how to unionize the robots.
- 59:07SPEAKER_04: That's what that is, big thing.
- 59:08SPEAKER_03: He's doing the shakedown on the robot accent.
- 59:10SPEAKER_03: I can use I can use a couple thousand of them to hit do my hits for help with your collections.
- 59:17SPEAKER_03: That's right.
- 59:18SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they get well.
- 59:19SPEAKER_03: Remember, we had the I can even program to talk like me.
- 59:23SPEAKER_05: Yeah, which does make them scarier.
- 59:26SPEAKER_05: When they have the New England mafia accent, it gives a little extra fear edge to them.
- 59:32SPEAKER_03: You're gonna pay up.
- 59:35SPEAKER_03: You understand?
- 59:36SPEAKER_05: They have the brass knuckles and the I'm going to break your legs.
- 59:42SPEAKER_05: When you have transformer type robots, remember we had a story a couple months ago.
- 59:48SPEAKER_05: We're joking that this is could help Steve Hoffman get out of bed in the morning.
- 59:55SPEAKER_05: Once you do that, then we're getting to the even the next stage of like human, transhumanist, cyborg hybrid robot people.
- 1:00:03SPEAKER_04: Exactly.
- 1:00:04SPEAKER_05: Determinator.
- 1:00:05SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:00:06SPEAKER_05: We we don't need Mafia Mike in a Transformer suit.
- 1:00:09SPEAKER_05: No.
- 1:00:09SPEAKER_05: That that would be like Total Warfare immediately.
- 1:00:12SPEAKER_03: That'd be like Captain America.
- 1:00:14SPEAKER_05: Yeah, Captain Italy of the Mafia Collector.
- 1:00:19SPEAKER_06: There is one, there is one that I heard about yesterday, and I can't remember its exact name, but it it does it does have a real name from the Terminator series.
- 1:00:29SPEAKER_06: And it's a six foot five full-figured robot that can snap limbs.
- 1:00:36SPEAKER_06: And you can buy this thing, you can buy this thing for like$165,000.
- 1:00:42SPEAKER_05: Wow.
- 1:00:43SPEAKER_06: And you could own, you can literally own it.
- 1:00:45SPEAKER_06: There's no restrictions about this thing, and it can break necks, it can break arms, it could be programmed to do all sorts of things.
- 1:00:53SPEAKER_05: 165,000, Mike's about to get a second mortgage and uh do a little investing.
- 1:00:57SPEAKER_06: We'll have mecha, Mike.
- 1:01:00SPEAKER_06: The drawback from this thing is it it only has two hours worth of battery life.
- 1:01:05SPEAKER_05: That's that's enough.
- 1:01:06SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:01:07SPEAKER_05: That's enough for Mike to get his job done.
- 1:01:10SPEAKER_05: He can do his route in that time.
- 1:01:13SPEAKER_05: But that was this week's microphone, and I'll throw it back to our executive producer, Dark Lebdown.
- 1:01:21SPEAKER_04: Oh, take it about the monkeys.
