Lunch with the Clydesdale - What was the Best Part of the Super Bowl · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:02
The football season's over.
0:04
The open is around the corner.
0:06
Let's go.
0:18
I love the chase and the hunt,
0:19
and I set the pace when I'm running.
0:21
I always take what I want,
0:22
and I always give it one hundred.
0:24
Don't need a bank, no one funded.
0:26
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:27
I'm always thankful for something.
0:29
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
0:30
Now wake up!
0:32
It's time to look at the enemy.
0:34
Look in the mirror if he is no
0:36
friend to me.
0:37
It's not working out,
0:38
maybe it's the chemistry.
0:39
It's time to break up so I can
0:41
make a better me.
0:42
Eeeeee!
0:42
Abadabada!
0:48
it's lunch time what is going on everybody
0:51
welcome to lunch with the Clydesdale after
0:54
a weekend of football and frivolity we're
0:57
back doing our thing uh so it's crazy
1:02
day here we are actually in Ohio going
1:05
to be above freezing for the first time
1:08
in two weeks today and tomorrow it's
1:11
supposed to get in the
1:14
We may actually,
1:17
actually get some snow to melt for the
1:20
first time in a couple weeks.
1:23
I could not be more excited about that.
1:29
It has been so dang cold and taking
1:31
the dog out has been rough the last
1:34
couple weeks.
1:36
So hoping I get a little bit of
1:39
relief from that in the next couple days.
1:41
As Andrew Sten says from the southern part
1:45
of Ohio in Cincinnati, shorts weather.
1:49
I actually went out today to get the
1:50
garbage, um,
1:52
the can after it was dumped and went
1:56
out in my t-shirt and didn't like freeze
1:59
to death,
1:59
just walking down to the end of my
2:01
driveway and pulling it up.
2:03
Uh, and it was,
2:05
it just hit about freezing today.
2:07
So, uh,
2:12
Amanda Fillers,
2:13
I need to send you the video I
2:15
posted yesterday of the Bay over here.
2:16
Our feel like temp on Saturday was
2:18
negative twelve.
2:20
Oh, so, so bad.
2:25
Arlene Smith says way too cold in New
2:27
Hampshire.
2:28
Yeah.
2:32
uh corey taking the dog out has been
2:34
rough i see what you did there yep
2:37
i'm dude i i fall into that stuff
2:39
by accident all the time i have no
2:41
idea what i'm saying most of the time
2:44
um but yeah so we're just so thankful
2:48
that we're actually going to get a break
2:49
from all of this uh what do i
2:52
want to talk about today
2:54
Watched Super Bowl.
2:57
It was really a defensive game.
2:59
You had to appreciate defense to
3:00
appreciate the game, I think.
3:03
Not really like a juggernaut of offense,
3:05
which is what usually draws in the fans.
3:07
So I'm not anticipating the ratings for
3:10
this year's Super Bowl to be real good.
3:13
But at the end of the day,
3:16
my prediction was that Seattle was going
3:18
to win and win big.
3:19
Yeah.
3:21
I thought the NFC route to the Super
3:23
Bowl was much harder than the AFC route.
3:28
And it proved to be true last night.
3:30
That Seattle defense was just incredible.
3:35
Incredible.
3:35
What they did to the Patriots was
3:37
incredible.
3:40
And so I put a couple bets on
3:44
the game just to make it a little
3:45
more exciting.
3:46
I did bet that there would be more
3:47
than six sacks in the game.
3:50
Won that bet.
3:52
I bet that Drake May would rush for
3:54
more than thirty five yards.
3:56
He did that.
3:58
And then the other three I lost.
4:00
So didn't even break even,
4:02
but it gave me something to root for
4:04
during the game.
4:06
Especially rooting for sacks.
4:07
I was rooting for sacks.
4:10
And I got a lot of those.
4:11
So that's cool.
4:17
Mark Phillips says,
4:18
I made it to the halftime show and
4:19
it made me realize I'd had enough.
4:22
So this is what I want to say
4:23
about the halftime show.
4:25
the halftime shows are not for me.
4:27
I am a fifty-year-old male.
4:29
I am not the demographic that the Super
4:31
Bowl halftime show is looking for.
4:33
They are looking for globalization.
4:36
It's obvious when next year we have nine
4:39
games being played outside of the country
4:42
to attract more people from around the
4:44
world.
4:46
And
4:47
And I'm old.
4:50
When I was twenty-some years old,
4:51
I wanted my generation of artists to play
4:55
the Super Bowl.
4:56
And so I would expect the same now.
5:01
I am not the generation that the Super
5:03
Bowl halftime is looking for.
5:06
With that being said, I watched Bad Bunny.
5:10
I thought that the show itself was
5:13
actually pretty good.
5:15
They filled the stadium,
5:17
which is what a lot of artists miss
5:19
at the Super Bowl.
5:19
You have to fill that stadium,
5:21
whether it be tree people or whatever.
5:23
It filled the stadium,
5:25
and it felt like a street party.
5:27
if you've ever seen the movie, um,
5:30
in the Heights,
5:31
it reminded me of that a lot.
5:33
Um,
5:34
like kind of a musical feel to this,
5:37
um, this thing.
5:40
And, uh,
5:43
so i thought they did a great good
5:44
job with that i know a lot of
5:46
people that i work with i know a
5:48
lot of people at crossfit gyms that i've
5:50
gone to around the world who love bad
5:51
bunny they are he is their favorite artist
5:54
in the world so that's who they're
5:56
speaking to they're not speaking to me and
5:59
i thought they did a good job capturing
6:02
like the street party um
6:07
in like the Puerto Rican area of New
6:09
York or like Jay Burch is saying Mardi
6:12
Gras or in Puerto Rico,
6:14
I'm sure that those are the things that
6:15
happen.
6:16
And I thought that they captured that
6:18
very, very well.
6:19
I did last night watch the Turning Point
6:22
halftime show.
6:23
I actually thought that was boring,
6:25
but I am not a country music fan.
6:27
So I knew none of the lyrics to
6:29
even any of those songs.
6:31
So, and again,
6:33
I don't know if they're trying to talk
6:34
to me,
6:34
but I do not listen to country.
6:38
I probably listen to more Latin music than
6:40
I do country.
6:44
So there it is.
6:46
It is what it is.
6:47
There are plenty of options available.
6:50
Back in my day,
6:51
I remember when In Living Color,
6:53
the comedy sketch show,
6:54
did an alternative Super Bowl show because
6:57
the main Super Bowl show had gotten so
6:59
boring.
7:00
And I would always tune in to the
7:02
In Living Color Super Bowl halftime show
7:05
instead of the main one.
7:07
That, to me, they were funny.
7:10
They were relevant.
7:11
They were topical.
7:12
It was hilarious.
7:15
And it's just a fifteen-minute break.
7:18
And most of the time,
7:19
I'm so into the football and so into
7:20
the commercials that I don't pee.
7:23
I don't eat.
7:24
And so,
7:25
if I'm not a big fan of the
7:26
halftime show,
7:27
it actually gives me a time to do
7:29
all of that stuff.
7:31
Uh...
7:32
So, yeah, that's my point.
7:33
Again,
7:34
my criticism doesn't matter to this
7:36
because I'm not the audience they're
7:38
looking for.
7:39
In fact, if I did like it,
7:41
it's probably not getting the audience
7:43
they want.
7:46
Eddie Van Halen died,
7:47
or I'd want him to be playing the
7:49
halftime show every year.
7:51
So, yeah.
7:55
Jay Burch,
7:57
they're not playing to the old man yelling
7:58
in the front yard.
7:59
Exactly.
7:59
Exactly.
8:00
That is me,
8:02
and they are not trying to get me
8:05
excited.
8:07
The last halftime show that I got super
8:09
pumped for was the nineties hip hop with
8:13
Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Fifty Cent.
8:20
I think Mary J.
8:20
Blige was on that one.
8:23
So that was a great one.
8:26
And I like people who fill the stadium.
8:29
And like Katy Perry filled the stadium
8:32
with her show.
8:33
And then we had the Left Shark fiasco,
8:35
which was phenomenal.
8:38
And I think that's the one...
8:44
missy elliott came in on one of them
8:46
and it was either beyonce or katie perry
8:50
and that part was awesome missy elliott
8:51
was a surprise and she killed it um
8:55
and jay birch has prince prince is like
8:57
the all-time but i said it last week
9:00
on the show i have mixed feelings because
9:03
the year prince did the halftime show the
9:04
bears were in the super bowl and they
9:06
ended up losing
9:08
So while I had this high of Prince
9:10
doing the halftime show,
9:11
I had this big loss of the Bears
9:14
losing the Super Bowl that year.
9:15
So that was a tough one for me.
9:20
So.
9:21
Those are my thoughts on that.
9:22
I thought the Super Bowl commercials were
9:24
better than they've been in years past in
9:27
some regards and in other regards,
9:30
not much.
9:31
But a couple that I wrote down were
9:34
I love the Ben Stiller one with Benson
9:36
Boone with his jealousy and trying to do
9:39
the backflip.
9:39
I thought that was hilarious.
9:42
I love the Budweiser one with the bird
9:45
riding on the back of the Clydesdale
9:48
because we are the Clydesdale.
9:53
And I like the pop culture references of
9:56
the Duncan ad that Mark Phillips is
9:58
bringing up.
10:00
I just thought it was funny from the
10:01
perspective of Good Will Hunting as a
10:03
sitcom and all the different sitcom actors
10:08
from the eighties and nineties.
10:10
I just liked it from a nostalgia point
10:12
of view.
10:12
So, yeah.
10:17
But really, I thought the Benson Boone,
10:21
Ben Stiller one was the funniest.
10:26
And then the Budweiser one was the
10:27
coolest.
10:28
And then the Duncan one was cool for
10:30
nostalgia.
10:33
Wayne Shore,
10:34
Mike Tyson's anti-processed food.
10:36
I thought that was interesting.
10:39
Yeah, with the whole pyramid flip,
10:40
and that was actually run by Make America
10:44
Healthy Again.
10:46
But I thought that was a very interesting
10:49
way to get the word out about that
10:54
and the whole pyramid flip.
10:56
So, yeah,
10:57
I did appreciate that a great deal.
11:04
What else happened this weekend?
11:05
Lindsey Vonn.
11:07
Lindsey Vonn tried to make her comeback.
11:08
It did not go well.
11:11
It was everything that I was afraid would
11:13
happen.
11:14
And again, I'm a big Lindsey Vonn fan.
11:16
I wanted her to succeed.
11:18
I wanted her to overcome that.
11:20
But it sounds like she severely fractured
11:22
her leg in an accident where she crashed
11:26
only fifteen seconds out of the gate.
11:29
She was airlifted off the mountain,
11:32
taken to...
11:35
to one hospital and then driven two hours
11:37
to another hospital where they performed
11:39
the surgery uh word is that there were
11:42
it required two separate surgeries to
11:45
repair the leg um and they're just waiting
11:48
for a statement on what all that means
11:51
but um Lindsey crashing was uh pretty
11:55
devastating
11:57
Uh,
11:57
she has a couple of good trial runs,
11:59
but man,
12:00
when you trial runs are not the race.
12:03
And when you get to the race athletes,
12:05
mine clicks to a different thing and
12:09
immediately should try to engage that leg.
12:10
And it just would not, um,
12:15
It just would not engage.
12:16
There was nothing there to hold up.
12:21
Jay Burch said he heard she broke it.
12:24
Yeah, she broke it,
12:26
and it took at least two surgeries to
12:30
repair it.
12:37
SEMA says that game was fourteen thirteen
12:39
without field goals might as well have
12:41
been a soccer game.
12:42
Well,
12:42
you can't take the field goals out because
12:44
they did have to march down the field
12:46
to get in position to kick them.
12:49
It was a defensive game and the defenses
12:52
showed the Seattle defense.
12:54
Both defenses were awesome.
12:56
They were awesome.
12:58
Christian Gonzalez for the Patriots made
13:00
plays that most people couldn't.
13:03
And the Seattle defense,
13:05
they were just coming from everywhere.
13:08
It was a different person on every play.
13:10
It was crazy.
13:17
Andrew said,
13:18
they say the wreck was not due to
13:19
the knee.
13:19
She clipped a gate racing on the edge.
13:22
I would argue that clipping the gate,
13:24
she then had to engage her legs for
13:26
balance,
13:27
and that's where she lost it and went
13:29
into a spin.
13:31
But they're going to say whatever they're
13:33
going to say.
13:37
They're probably protecting her,
13:39
but that is what it is.
13:46
Okay.
13:50

14:50
So.
14:56
So WFP.
14:59
I had one thing on here that I
15:00
want to talk about.
15:01
And then I started watching the Rich
15:03
Froning podcast right before I came on
15:06
here.
15:07
And then the anger and the angst and
15:10
the smear campaign side of me started to
15:15
boil up inside when I heard them,
15:20
what they were talking about.
15:23
So the question was posed to Will right
15:25
off the bat.
15:26
Why do people hate you?
15:30
And let me be clear.
15:33
I have been critical of the WFP.
15:36
I don't hate Will.
15:39
I don't hate the WFP.
15:42
If you go back a year from now,
15:45
I had said I wanted them to succeed
15:48
so that we could see what a season
15:50
would look like in this fitness
15:52
competition.
15:54
Being critical of what they're doing does
15:58
not mean that I hate them.
16:04
But I can be critical at the same
16:06
time.
16:07
I can look at what they've done and
16:10
I can say you've not done what you
16:11
said you were going to do.
16:16
And the most frustrating part of this
16:17
podcast is,
16:19
and I have to give Austin Maliolo all
16:21
the credit, and I am not through it.
16:23
In all transparency, let me look.
16:26
I'm just under a half.
16:30
No,
16:32
right about halfway through the podcast.
16:36
I have to give credit to Austin Maliolo.
16:38
He actually gave good follow-up questions
16:44
to hold Will accountable for an answer.
16:47
And this is what,
16:48
and he kept saying like,
16:50
isn't the only true way to kind of
16:52
come together
16:54
and work together and wouldn't the ideal
16:57
place be to have be able to say
16:59
crossfit get a deal with crossfit where
17:02
you can call it what it is instead
17:05
of a fitness competition to do these
17:07
things and will said well it's not a
17:09
perfect and he kept trying to avoid the
17:11
question and austin kept pressing him
17:15
And the point is that Austin was trying
17:18
to get him to say the best way
17:20
forward was to unite together and come up
17:26
with a plan with all of these entities
17:29
in the space, not just CrossFit and WFP,
17:32
but also with Rogue and Wadapalooza and
17:36
all of that kind of stuff.
17:40
What I will say in addition to that
17:41
is every time they talk to Unity,
17:46
Will turned it into an independent thought
17:50
that WFP already does it that way and
17:52
he can't control everybody else.
17:54
Or that that is the plan of WFP
17:58
or blah, blah, blah, right?
18:02
And even though that Austin was trying to
18:03
press him into saying more,
18:05
he just kept avoiding it or kept going
18:09
down a path where they are separate.
18:13
it became abundantly clear to me and what
18:15
I've watched so far that Will has no
18:18
intentions in working with any of these
18:21
other entities to come together and create
18:27
a season that works for the athletes so
18:30
that they can do everything.
18:34
And to me, that is so frustrating.
18:39
So frustrating.
18:40
And to keep saying like the hate,
18:42
the hate, the hate.
18:44
Nobody hates.
18:46
It's that they're critical.
18:47
You came out and you promised all of
18:49
these things that were going to be better.
18:53
You and then to all these things that
18:56
were going to be better and then not
18:57
to fulfill any of the promises.
19:00
All you did was the exact same thing
19:02
that's been done for years and you just
19:04
packaged it in a different way and came
19:07
out.
19:07
You didn't do anything different.
19:16
None of the questions he asked were new.
19:18
I don't know why he doesn't have better
19:20
answers by now.
19:23
I don't disagree.
19:25
But I think for the first time,
19:28
I mean, I know, like,
19:29
Pedro has pushed on some things.
19:33
But he never gets pushed by Talking Elite
19:35
Fitness because they work for him.
19:39
Austin...
19:40
And Rich wasn't pushing on him either.
19:43
And Austin stepped in and said, wait,
19:45
wait, wait,
19:46
we need to get this piece down.
19:48
And he did push him on it.
19:53
And so... I...
19:58
I don't know why he doesn't have a
19:59
better answer, Mark.
20:01
You would think after all this time,
20:04
he would have a better answer.
20:05
But you would have thought that after the
20:07
mistakes made last year,
20:08
they would make those corrections before
20:10
going into this year.
20:11
And they didn't do that either.
20:14
They're repeating the same mistakes they
20:15
made last year.
20:18
And at what point as an athlete do
20:20
you have confidence that you're going to
20:23
do it
20:24
better for me and what my career needs.
20:35
David Reed,
20:35
Will has an ax to grind against CrossFit.
20:37
Unsure who hurt him there.
20:40
I don't know.
20:44
Do you think Will has any true say
20:46
over that?
20:49
By what means do you mean, Ortega?
20:51
Ortega?
20:58
Well, to WFP's defense,
21:00
they're offering close to a salary-type
21:02
paycheck where the other comps don't.
21:09
But they're not ensuring success for the
21:12
athletes.
21:13
And they talked, like Rich talked about,
21:17
that he was an athlete that trained all
21:19
year round,
21:19
so he was ready to compete at a
21:21
given notice.
21:22
But he also didn't care about the
21:23
longevity of his career.
21:27
He only competed individually for five
21:29
years.
21:30
A lot of these athletes are looking at
21:32
trying to compete for much longer than
21:34
five years,
21:35
and their bodies can't take the wear and
21:37
tear of a season like we had last
21:39
year.
21:42
So the WFP,
21:44
after seeing that there was resistance to
21:46
the way the season was done,
21:49
didn't really change anything to their
21:51
structure this season to make sure it was
21:54
out of the season or worked in congruent
21:57
with the season.
22:01
That's the part that WFP could control,
22:07
but they didn't.
22:14
Wayne Short,
22:14
it's clear that unity is the last thing
22:16
they want.
22:27
It's the same with soccer leagues compared
22:29
to the World Cup.
22:33
So, Frida,
22:34
I'm not familiar with soccer in Europe
22:36
other than what I watch on...
22:43
Oh, that show,
22:44
the soccer show I watch that Ryan Reynolds
22:47
owns the team.
22:49
Everything I learned about European soccer
22:51
I've learned on that show.
22:52
Wrexham.
22:53
Welcome to Wrexham.
22:55
Everything I've learned about European
22:57
soccer is about that.
22:59
And I'm much more knowledgeable than I was
23:01
a few years ago,
23:02
but I'm not knowledgeable enough to get
23:04
that comparison.
23:08
Yeah.
23:13
What I will say is like the NHL
23:16
has a season and they have paid athletes
23:19
that they're investing in for that season.
23:22
And somehow they have worked with the
23:25
Olympics to allow their players to go play
23:28
at the Olympics and take a break from
23:30
their season while that is happening.
23:34
So it can be done.
23:36
You can coordinate two different entities
23:41
into one thing if you coordinate it well.
23:47
If that makes sense.
23:53
Yeah, they get paid by the clubs,
23:54
not the tournament.
23:55
Very much like the Olympic team, right?
23:57
So USA hockey, Canadian hockey,
24:01
even all the other.
24:03
I mean,
24:03
the NHL is made up of players from
24:05
all over the world.
24:06
Their teams pay their salary.
24:08
They give them a break to go pay
24:10
in the Olympics, play in the Olympics,
24:13
and they're still under contract and being
24:14
paid by the teams.
24:19
Now,
24:19
the NHL does that because they see that
24:21
international growth for their league is
24:23
important to have their stars go play on
24:27
the Olympic stage.
24:33
Somebody in all these entities needs to
24:36
say that it's better for our leagues
24:41
together to come together and work
24:43
together to get more exposure around the
24:46
world for these athletes and find a way
24:49
to work together so that we get more
24:53
exposure and growth throughout the world.
25:00
But that's not happening right now.
25:02
And after what I saw,
25:04
I'm not super optimistic to think that it
25:07
is going to happen.
25:11
Now,
25:11
the one thing that Will did say that
25:15
I did fully agree with,
25:16
and I've said on here before,
25:19
is that
25:21
He talked to a lot of the athletes
25:23
that decided not to do WFP this year.
25:25
And if they have a shot to win
25:27
the CrossFit Games,
25:28
it does make more sense for them to
25:30
try to win the big prize at the
25:32
end of the CrossFit Games season.
25:34
They will make more money doing that than
25:36
they will in the WFP season.
25:39
But if you're not in contention for that
25:41
win...
25:44
Why wouldn't you take the opportunity to
25:45
make some money, get some exposure,
25:48
get some practice,
25:50
get some competition stuff going,
25:53
all of that stuff?
25:55
You should.
25:57
Like,
25:57
if you're Sidney McAlishan or you're Chris
26:01
Ibarra and your chances of winning the
26:03
games are not like a Jason Hopper or
26:06
a James Sprague,
26:07
why wouldn't you go take the money,
26:09
especially with all the people dropping
26:11
out?
26:12
You've moved up that money list pretty
26:15
high.
26:20
And then you can get some experience in
26:23
live competitions.
26:24
You get to support your season.
26:27
You get to go do all the things
26:29
and it, and it makes sense, right?
26:33
And Craig's listening, Hannah Black.
26:34
There's a lot.
26:35
There's a lot that fit into what I
26:37
just said.
26:37
I just was giving a couple examples.
26:40
But if you're not top five on the
26:44
women's side or top eight on the men's
26:46
side,
26:47
your chances of winning the games are not
26:49
great.
26:51
And you should go take the money and
26:55
let them fund your season.
27:11
I don't know what you're talking to
27:13
specifically here.
27:15
They don't need to, though.
27:16
Companies need competition to grow.
27:18
So it's not a bad idea to have
27:19
a company that competes against CrossFit.
27:21
Maybe CrossFit will level up some more.
27:24
I don't disagree.
27:25
I think the WFP coming into play has
27:27
improved CrossFit immensely.
27:32
I don't think CrossFit would ever admit
27:34
it.
27:35
But I do believe that what they have
27:38
done...
27:39
Over the last year,
27:40
by implementing some changes,
27:42
by getting athletes more involved in the
27:45
offseason,
27:46
all of those things came because WFP
27:49
pushed them.
27:51
The media company being back up and
27:53
running, you know, it's not perfect,
27:56
but it's better than it was.
27:58
And all of that happened after WFP came
28:00
along.
28:01
Competition is good.
28:02
And if you've been listening to this show,
28:04
I've said that a million times.
28:07
The XFL didn't survive,
28:09
but it brought so many innovations to the
28:11
NFL because the NFL had to step up
28:14
their game and they saw things the XFL
28:16
were doing that actually made sense and
28:19
they implemented them into their rules.
28:23
So I do believe there was a push.
28:26
I do believe you can do some innovative
28:28
stuff.
28:31
I do think some of the innovations that
28:33
WFP have done are better than what
28:35
CrossFit does.
28:38
Having the rep counters up on the rig
28:40
are, if you're at a live event,
28:42
that is like game-changing.
28:45
I think the lighting for the green go
28:49
and the red for when the clock expires
28:52
and the yellow when you have ten seconds
28:54
to go tells the whole crowd where we're
28:56
at in the race.
28:58
I think those things are awesome.
29:02
And I'm sure they've done some other
29:03
things too,
29:04
and we've talked about them over the year.
29:07
I'm not hating on WFP,
29:09
but they need to be aware that they
29:11
didn't do things perfectly last year,
29:14
and there's room for improvement,
29:15
and they should make strides towards that
29:18
improvement.
29:19
But so far,
29:21
the pieces and parts we've gotten from
29:23
them have not shown a change in what
29:27
they are doing.
29:31
And where I come from this, too,
29:34
is I've talked to people who worked with
29:36
WFP last year,
29:38
were asked for their feedback,
29:40
and if they gave negative feedback,
29:42
were not asked back.
29:44
Now,
29:45
I don't know if that changed because that
29:46
was towards the beginning of last season.
29:50
I don't know if that ever changed.
29:52
But if that's the case,
29:53
that's why you're not getting better.
29:56
If you're not willing to take that
29:57
negative criticism and learn from it and
30:02
take the input of the people that are
30:03
there on the inside with you,
30:06
then you're never going to grow.
30:13
So I don't hate them,
30:17
but I can be critical of what they've
30:19
done.
30:21
Because they're not improving on what they
30:24
did last year.
30:26
And they're not fulfilling the promises
30:29
they had from the get-go.
30:35
They promised all this stuff.
30:37
They never delivered on those things.
30:42
So I just... I don't know.
30:48
Well, another thing that got me fired up,
30:50
I was watching the Super Bowl last night.
30:56
And there was a commercial on by Ring
31:03
Doorbell.
31:05
And in it, they're saying, you know,
31:06
we used to look for lost dogs this
31:09
way.
31:09
And they show like a poster,
31:11
like Barney lost, you know, Fido lost,
31:16
Walter lost.
31:17
And they show a picture of the dog
31:18
on a light pole or a street light
31:21
or phone pole or whatever.
31:25
And then they said,
31:25
now we have a new way and that
31:28
they can connect all the ring doorbell
31:30
cameras in your neighborhood to help find
31:33
a dog.
31:36
And I was like, wait a second.
31:41
Who has access to all the ring doorbell
31:45
cameras in my neighborhood?
31:48
Who gets to use this and find a
31:51
dog?
31:55
I think we're taking a step past finding
31:58
a dog if people have access to all
32:01
the cameras at once and connect them into
32:03
a neighborhood.
32:06
Aren't we like...
32:10
Aren't we like just a step away from
32:12
Big Brother?
32:15
Am I being too paranoid?
32:20
I find that like really invasive.
32:26
And Vicky's telling me,
32:27
because I don't have a Ring doorbell.
32:29
I do have a doorbell camera,
32:30
but it's not Ring.
32:32
Yeah,
32:32
there's a community thing on Ring that you
32:33
can opt into,
32:35
but you have to opt into it.
32:41
But if all my neighbors' cameras are
32:43
facing my house and my front yard and
32:47
my stuff, like, dang.
32:52
That just seems really,
32:54
really creepy to me.
33:00
I guess I should have expected that people
33:04
would look at it and their camera's facing
33:06
my house.
33:06
It's on their camera.
33:11
It just baffles my mind.
33:13
I was really taken aback by it.
33:15
And it's presented as finding your dog,
33:17
but it could do a whole lot more
33:20
than that.
33:25
Andrew Sten,
33:25
the fact the option is there is scary.
33:30
I didn't know it was an option.
33:31
I guess I'm behind the times.
33:34
But when I saw that, my wife,
33:37
I freaked the hell out.
33:46
Andrew Sten, just like they said,
33:47
your phone isn't listening to you or Alexa
33:50
isn't listening to you.
33:51
Right.
33:51
I agree.
33:55
Frida, it should be illegal.
33:57
Yeah, it's like voyeuristic.
34:03
I know like I get it for the
34:05
safety thing.
34:06
I know I get it.
34:07
I get it.
34:07
So you like aren't robbed.
34:11
But man,
34:12
it just seems like a step too far.
34:15
A step too far.
34:22
Anderson wouldn't surprise me if the
34:24
government already can access home
34:25
security systems.
34:28
All I could think of is if you
34:30
ever watched the show person of interest,
34:33
that there was this one central computer
34:37
that could tap into every electronic
34:39
device in the world and could download the
34:43
data and analyze it and spit out blah.
34:46
Like, is it real?
34:57
Um, Vicky says,
34:59
I like it from a security perspective
35:01
because you can share an instance on your
35:03
camera.
35:03
If something is sketchy or a break in,
35:06
et cetera.
35:07
So you can anticipate if you're in danger.
35:10
Um, yeah, I,
35:13
I get it from the safety perspective,
35:15
but that's how, like,
35:16
if you watch the show person of interest,
35:18
that's how they sold it to them that
35:20
we're going to keep you safe.
35:22
But you know,
35:24
the next step is not good.
35:28
Like, the safety part makes sense,
35:30
and that gets your buy-in,
35:32
but the next step ain't great.
35:40
Mark Phillips says, that was a good show.
35:42
Andrew Sten, great show, scary concept.
35:50
Amanda,
35:50
think about the robot vacuums that map out
35:52
your floor plan and where that is stored.
35:58
And now they have lawnmowers that map out
36:00
your yard.
36:08
Yeah, I guess it all started with Alexa.
36:11
It moved on to Google Home.
36:13
It moved on.
36:16
Now we're doing ring doorbell cameras.
36:18
Yeah.
36:23
So, so crazy.
36:24
Crazy.
36:30
Amanda.
36:30
Hey, I'd get me one of those lawnmowers.
36:33
They have them.
36:34
They're battery operated.
36:35
They map out your lawn.
36:37
It looks like it's like a lawnmower with
36:40
no handle.
36:41
You just set it out there and it'll
36:43
mow down your whole lawn.
36:48
Just like a Roomba for the lawn.
36:53
So, so crazy.
36:56
Anyway, I'm going to leave you with this.
36:58
Um,
37:00
I finished Pluribus over the weekend.
37:07
That show was freaking awesome.
37:09
At first, when I was watching it,
37:11
it was a little crazy.
37:12
It was a little wacky.
37:14
I didn't know if I was going to
37:15
like it,
37:16
but it's by the same guy who wrote
37:18
and directed Breaking Bad.
37:21
Nothing like Breaking Bad.
37:23
Nothing like Breaking Bad.
37:27
But it is a freaking phenomenal show.
37:31
I had three episodes to go Friday night.
37:33
My wife had a thing to go to
37:35
and I binged the last three episodes.
37:38
The only criticism I have of the show
37:41
is the season ends at the climax of
37:44
the story.
37:46
And so right at the end of season
37:48
one is the climax.
37:50
And now I've got to wait for season
37:52
two to find out where it goes.
37:55
But if you have not checked out Pluribus,
37:58
well worth the watch.
38:00
Well worth the getting through the first
38:03
episode or two.
38:03
So yeah, it is.
38:08
The ending is unreal.
38:18
Brother,
38:18
there was this study or experiment.
38:20
A guy mapped out a military installation
38:22
from just photos from IG.
38:25
See, that's scary.
38:30
Stan,
38:30
we're becoming too reliant on AI and
38:32
automation.
38:33
People are letting themselves be taken in
38:35
by it for the convenience and safety.
38:37
I know.
38:41
Frida,
38:41
I know someone working in cybersecurity.
38:43
He refuses to use smart appliances.
38:45
Yeah, I don't have any smart appliances.
38:49
Thank goodness.
38:51
And Sten says, need to finish Pluribus.
38:53
I want more of the pit.
38:57
Yeah, I am caught up on the pit,
39:00
waiting for the next episode.
39:03
What's crazy to me is I grew up
39:04
outside of Pittsburgh.
39:05
All of the references about Pittsburgh and
39:07
the surrounding area are crazy.
39:09
It is so true to the area,
39:12
what they do there.
39:15
So really fun to watch for me.
39:18
But really love the pit.
39:20
I was asking my wife, like,
39:25
there are three shows that we love.
39:27
Three shows.
39:28
It's Landman, Shrinking, and The Pit.
39:32
And I asked her which one does she
39:33
is her favorite.
39:34
And she said Landman quickly.
39:36
But Shrinking to me is right there with
39:39
Landman.
39:40
And Pit is like a two.
39:42
So like Shrinking and Landman, one A,
39:45
one B.
39:46
And then The Pit is a two.
39:50
And pluribus is probably catching up
39:53
there.
39:53
I just need to see how they finish
39:55
this thing all off.
40:02
Vicky says, I have a smartphone,
40:04
but I'm dumb, so it's not that smart.
40:07
I probably only use ten percent of my
40:10
smartphone.
40:12
Because I just don't know what else it
40:14
can do.
40:18
When I was younger, I was like,
40:19
I'm never going to let myself fall to
40:23
a place where I don't understand
40:24
technology.
40:27
And technology started moving too fast and
40:33
I couldn't keep up.
40:35
And so now I really,
40:37
really have no clue.
40:43
I actually have a three-D printer that I
40:45
bought recently.
40:47
And I wanted to make like Clydesdale Media
40:49
stuff with it to like hand out at
40:51
different events and things like that.
40:53
And it's still in the box because I
40:55
am too afraid and too scared and not
40:58
really afraid or scared.
41:02
Really just I'm afraid that I'm not going
41:04
to understand how to use it.
41:10
So, yeah.
41:12
So hopefully,
41:13
my goal is this weekend is to get
41:14
it out of the box and see what
41:15
I can do with it.
41:17
Finally.
41:21
Ken Walters, I'm really late,
41:22
but it's wild Darnold in the quarterback
41:24
class of Lamar, Mayfield, Josh Allen.
