Latest / The TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan / AI Hackers, Lawn Wars, Dating Red Flags & Cadaver Fat | TMI Ep 432
Transcript
- 0:21So good morning. Happy Friyay. I'm Manila Chan.
- 0:24That's producer Robbie. I think Ted Raul is probably
- 0:26on his potty break. He'll be joining us in a
- 0:28second. Happy Friyay. It's the last day of July,
- 0:31Robbie. It is. It is. And the TMI metrics are
- 0:36looking really good. So we have 105 unique chatters,
- 0:40so we smashed that goal as required. Thank you,
- 0:43guys. We start again in August, obviously. We
- 0:46need the unique chats. Yep. So we'll be starting
- 0:49all over. So if y 'all can just chat on the live
- 0:51streams, run the playlists, hang out with us
- 0:54here on the streams, that's going to be the help.
- 0:57This will be the month, boys and girls, that
- 0:58tells the story. Are the changes to the Rumble
- 1:01Creator program going to be meaningful for people
- 1:03who are able to stay in? There's going to be
- 1:04more of the same. I'm hoping for a meaningful
- 1:07boost, especially after losing John's account.
- 1:11Source of income. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so
- 1:15with that, we'll get the ad out of the way so
- 1:18it doesn't interrupt programming. I'm gonna go
- 1:22ahead and pop that up there. I'm still learning
- 1:27Rumble Studio, so yeah, I think I'm getting it.
- 1:32Alright, so you've probably noticed rumble isn't
- 1:35slowing down speaking of rumble more creators
- 1:38more content and a platform that's actually putting
- 1:40users and free speech first and if you're watching
- 1:43here regularly there's a way to upgrade your
- 1:46entire experience. Right now, Rumble is running
- 1:48a limited -time summer sale on Rumble Premium,
- 1:52and it's the lowest price they've ever offered.

- 1:57the platform, no pre -rolls, no interruptions,
- 2:00just the content you actually came for. Plus,
- 2:03you unlock exclusive content from top creators
- 2:05like Steven Crowder, Dr. Disrespect, Special
- 2:09Live Events, and more you won't see anywhere
- 2:12else, including TMI. Here's the deal. Normally
- 2:16Rumble Premium is 99 bucks a year, but during
- 2:19the summer sale you can lock it in for just $69

- 2:56we're not, we can't get that summer sale price.
- 2:58So you guys take advantage of it and, and you
- 3:02can donate your savings to the TMI show. There
- 3:06be Ted raw. All right. So with that, um, before
- 3:10I jump to the stories, uh, obviously we do this
- 3:12live Monday through Friday. Please smash that
- 3:14like button. We'll start again on Monday for
- 3:17the, um, We need the chats, the unique chatters
- 3:20to keep us in the creator program. And gosh,
- 3:24the last couple of weeks, we have been in the
- 3:28top 10 in our time slot, Ted. That's amazing.
- 3:32We're number 10. We're number 10. But we were
- 3:35number five at one point. We were. Yeah, we've
- 3:38been landing at number nine. We've got to catch
- 3:40up with deprogram though. Deprogram was number
- 3:43three today. And we hit number one yesterday.
- 3:47Yeah, and Starline has a question. For some reason,
- 3:51my webcam is glitching out, so I'll have to jump
- 3:53out and come back in. We got to thank Waterways
- 3:55for the big donation. Happy Friyay and end of
- 3:59July. Thank you, TMI. Thank you, Waterways. Waterways
- 4:02was nice to deprogram as well. Oh, wow. That's
- 4:05lovely. Thank you so much for supporting independent
- 4:08journalism. And if I do say so myself, comedy.
- 4:14Starline wants to know if I ever had the mushroom
- 4:17coffee from 1775. I never have. I like regular
- 4:21coffee. I'm against mushroom coffee. I didn't
- 4:23know mushroom coffee was a thing. Now that being
- 4:25said, Manila, you may or may not know this. We're
- 4:29working with Jeff Dornick about getting an affiliateship
- 4:33with his coffee company. I saw. Jeff Dornick
- 4:36is doing all sorts of stuff. He's a busy man.
- 4:40Becoming his own media empire. Good for him.
- 4:43Yep. I agree. I'm going to jump out and reboot
- 4:46and see if I can fix my camera. Yeah, your camera's
- 4:49a little... Rumble Studio has been strange today.
- 4:53Uh -oh. Well, that doesn't help for a beginner
- 4:55like me who's trying to control the jaws, but
- 4:59I'm getting used to it. Here we go. Oh. You'll
- 5:01be fine. Oh, Ted, so... Note to all those who
- 5:07you know, we're all of a certain age here most
- 5:10of us Most of us anyway watching TMI. We're we're
- 5:15all I would say more or less in the 40 plus crowd
- 5:20give or take right more or less So I read a little
- 5:24short thing. I wanted to share with you guys
- 5:26that I think Ted can get behind this. I think
- 5:28we can all get behind this. So it said spending
- 5:31a weekend afternoon wandering around an art museum
- 5:34or seeing a movie isn't just fun. It could turn
- 5:38you homosexual. No, our related activities are
- 5:44actually good for our health and the benefits
- 5:47may go beyond mental well -being. A new study
- 5:49has linked cultural enrichment and not in the
- 5:53cynical way that Robbie says cultural enrichment.
- 5:57Actual cultural enrichment. Or the cynical way
- 5:59where shitty artists become rich because they
- 6:03suck and corporations buy their art. Or you go
- 6:06to a Hunter Biden art installation or something?
- 6:09For example, like that. Like that. Well, I guess,
- 6:11I don't know, I guess even that. The new study
- 6:15says going to stuff like that, slowers, buy a
- 6:20lot, slowers. It's slowers. I like slower. Slower
- 6:24actually should be a verb. Let's make it a thing.
- 6:28Let's invent new words. I'm not even kidding.
- 6:29That's slower biological aging. That's weird.
- 6:34This sentence is written weird. Slows biological
- 6:37aging in older adults. I don't know how they
- 6:39define. Okay, wait. The research pulled data
- 6:41from about 1 ,900 adults age 50 plus living in
- 6:46England. So this is only applicable to the British.
- 6:49Just gonna say it's only only the British they
- 6:52found those who went to museums concerts plays
- 6:56and other cultural activities at least once every
- 6:59few months were Physiologically younger than
- 7:03those who did it by about three years despite
- 7:06being very close in chronological age Cultural
- 7:10engagement seems to impact aging in three key
- 7:13ways. It helps strengthen social relationships
- 7:15reduces loneliness lowers stress and supports
- 7:19overall mental health and people who participate
- 7:21in these activities are more likely to be physically
- 7:23active and eat healthy foods. Now there's a possibility
- 7:28of a reverse causation in these findings that
- 7:32healthier people are more likely to have the
- 7:35ability to participate in cultural activities.
- 7:38The most culturally engaged among the participants
- 7:41were female, employed with higher incomes, and
- 7:45in better health to begin with. So I'm gonna,
- 7:49I'm gonna go with the latter. I think when you're
- 7:53already, you know, of a higher income bracket,
- 7:57you're more likely to go to these art installations
- 8:01and have the, have disposable income or discretionary.
- 8:04And to live in a city that, where they have them.
- 8:08Right. Well, no, you can go to small, like, you
- 8:10know what, I've seen some cool installations
- 8:11out in your, in your home. State in Ohio. I've
- 8:16been there's there's a cool art scene out there.
- 8:18I've been to like in Cincinnati downtown, Cincinnati
- 8:21Okay, so Cincinnati is actually the most cultured
- 8:24city in I know it's Clevelanders But it is by
- 8:28far. Yeah I mean if you live in most of the state
- 8:30and actually Ohioans really do care about culture
- 8:34a lot more than people might think but They are.
- 8:38It's still I mean, if you live in, you know,
- 8:40farm country and in Appalachia and southeastern
- 8:43Ohio, there's no the art scene is thin on the
- 8:47ground. Right. For sure. Well, well, even even
- 8:50in my hometown of Whittier, California, which
- 8:53granted is like eight miles out of downtown L
- 8:57.A., but still, even if you never wanted to leave
- 9:00the boundary lines of Whittier. There was like
- 9:04being in a small town and growing up in the 90s
- 9:06we had a thriving art scene and I knew a lot
- 9:09of artists and You I would go to these little
- 9:12art shows all the time like little indie artworks,
- 9:15you know that are put up the local coffee shops
- 9:18Would put up art and they'd have they'd host
- 9:20little things there and you can buy people's
- 9:23art for like 50 bucks a hundred bucks You know,
- 9:25like it's kind of cool But it says going to things
- 9:28like that really helps, you know, so if you're
- 9:31not in a big cultural center or don't have discretionary
- 9:35income to fly to the Louvre every few months,
- 9:41then I would say go do something like that. I
- 9:44think art is everywhere and if you look for it,
- 9:46you will find it. I enjoy actually looking at
- 9:49even like what we would call street art, others
- 9:52might call graffiti. But in Los Angeles, there
- 9:56were, you know, there, yes, it's defacing public
- 9:59property and sometimes private property, but
- 10:01there are whole patches of buildings and like
- 10:08along the San Gabriel River because it's all
- 10:10dry. You could go in the riverbed and you will
- 10:13see whole murals of like spray painted artwork.
- 10:18And it's art. You can find art, you know, anywhere.
- 10:21But if you take yourself through these things.
- 10:23I think it does something for you psychologically
- 10:25and keeps your brain young. Here in Montana,
- 10:29we see art every day by looking out the window.
- 10:32Like there's no art museums here in Kalispell.
- 10:35It's just that you go outside. Oh, none. No,
- 10:37right now there's a bunch of forest fires and
- 10:39stuff. So it's really smoky right now. But on
- 10:42a clear day. I mean, seriously, Ted, you've been
- 10:45here. I mean, you can see the mountains. I've
- 10:47seen your photo. It's beautiful. But the study
- 10:50isn't about that though. It's specifically about
- 10:53art. And I don't know, I guess it only applies
- 10:55to the British. Well, you got to have art museums
- 10:58or galleries for what you're talking about. Whereas
- 11:00you go outside and enjoy the creation that God
- 11:02gave you. And I think that's the artistic thing
- 11:05that there is. Well, it is beautiful. I won't
- 11:08take that away from Montana. I've not been and
- 11:10I plan on going, but this in particular is about
- 11:14looking at other... People, you know man -made
- 11:16art. So that's kind of cool. So happy Friday
- 11:19All right, so I Think everybody is talking about
- 11:28this Ted like you and I have been warning about
- 11:30AI Literally literally for as long as since we
- 11:33launched this show maybe even when we were doing
- 11:35the radio show I think for sure This topic that
- 11:39AI itself is learning to hack And that's good
- 11:44and terrifying. One of the world's most advanced
- 11:47AI systems has reached a point where it can discover
- 11:50previously unknown software flaws called zero
- 11:54-day vulnerabilities in major operating systems
- 11:57and web browsers. Those are bugs that nobody
- 12:00else knew existed, making them some of the most
- 12:03valuable tools in cybersecurity. So here's the
- 12:07good news. I don't know where the good news is,
- 12:09but all right, I'll play along. The AI found
- 12:13them inside a secure sandbox. That is like techie
- 12:17talk, which is a locked down testing environment
- 12:21where it can poke and prod software without touching
- 12:25the real internet or real computers. So it's
- 12:28like a virtual environment for AI. Think of it
- 12:31as letting a brilliant locksmith practice on
- 12:34fake doors instead of your front door. The bad
- 12:37news is what happened next. If an AI can scan
- 12:42these hidden weaknesses, it means future AI systems
- 12:46could potentially find and exploit them much
- 12:50faster than human hackers ever could. Security
- 12:53researchers can use that ability to fix vulnerabilities.
- 12:57This is from the sandbox. Fix the vulnerabilities
- 13:01before criminals discover them. If the same capability
- 13:05lands in the wrong hands, attackers could automate
- 13:09cyber attacks at speed and scale that we've never
- 13:13seen before. And you know it's happening. Thousands
- 13:16of them are happening every minute right now
- 13:18as we speak. So imagine at warp speed. So in
- 13:23practice, this doesn't mean your laptop is about
- 13:25to be hacked tonight. It means software companies
- 13:27will increasingly rely on AI to defend their
- 13:30products because humans alone won't be able to
- 13:33keep up. It also means governments are racing
- 13:35to ensure these cutting edge AI models don't
- 13:38become digital weapons before defenses are ready.
- 13:43For years, AI has mostly been helping people
- 13:45write emails and generate images. That's pretty
- 13:47much what I use it for. Uh, now it's becoming
- 13:51good enough to find the hidden cracks that keep
- 13:53the digital world running. The next cyber security
- 13:55arms race may not be human versus human. It's
- 13:58AI versus AI. And this is, of course, coming
- 14:01from the story about, um, Anthropics AI, um,
- 14:05which is like from, obviously I'm not a techie
- 14:09person, but from what I hear, Anthropics stuff
- 14:11is, is like the, like the bomb .com. Yeah, that's
- 14:19Claude Claude and and then there's they have
- 14:22um, what's their upgraded one that that the government
- 14:24was trying to shut down? There's another the
- 14:28highest level that's not really available to
- 14:30the public but that's the one that that got out
- 14:33got out of the sandbox and This news comes like
- 14:37what ten days after after open AI with creepy
- 14:41Sam Altman with Open AI's AI getting out of the
- 14:48sandbox first, right? And like creeping around.
- 14:53Yeah. Yeah. Open AI, they got out and hacked
- 14:56a company called Hugging Face. And its whole
- 14:58idea is that the whole premise of Hugging Face
- 15:01is AI security. So it got in there for like a
- 15:07week before they figured out what was going on.
- 15:09So yeah, it was wild. What's with the stupid
- 15:13name, Hugging Face? I don't know what these like
- 15:17I don't know these AI tech bros like they think
- 15:19these names are cool. But anyway Can you imagine
- 15:23Ted that I mean we just talked about like Like
- 15:26people in Lithuania. I'm sorry if you're Lithuanian,
- 15:29but I just happen to read something about Lithuania
- 15:31running some of these scams But can you imagine
- 15:34we talked about like like people in Lithuania
- 15:37or like Romania? taking advantage of like the
- 15:42Cal State or California University systems and
- 15:45putting like ghost students in there and just
- 15:47raping and pillaging the the Pell Grants and
- 15:50all this other, you know, all this other government
- 15:53funding for education putting a third there was
- 15:58a third of the enrollments in in California in
- 16:01like the the community college system a third
- 16:05of the enrollments were fake Obviously it was
- 16:08done through AI in many of them in foreign countries.
- 16:12So imagine at scale that if AI is able to do
- 16:16this and it's in the hands of people like that,
- 16:19like what happens to the rest of us regular schmoes?
- 16:23Maybe we're not students, but if AI can break
- 16:26into other AI companies, what does that mean
- 16:31for the likes of us, like our existence in the
- 16:34digital world? Like how do you defend against
- 16:36that? You can't. What happens? And you should
- 16:41not try. You just can't. I mean, here's the thing.
- 16:46It's also, I mean, it's it's also like a massive
- 16:49amount of power and, you know, and bandwidth
- 16:53that's that's generated and wasted. I mean, I
- 16:55was reading about someone who, you know, created
- 16:58a apparently this is really common, creating
- 17:00AI models like, you know, analogous to like what
- 17:03Robbie has. And it's like, oh, apply for 300
- 17:07jobs for me. And it's like, I don't really feel
- 17:11sorry for corporations. I mean, they created
- 17:13these problems. But still, I mean, if everybody
- 17:16does that, well then, you know, basically, you
- 17:19know, there's not going to be anyone at these
- 17:21companies to analyze it, right? They just won't.
- 17:24I mean, everyone will just be awash in info.
- 17:27It reminds me of a friend of mine who used to
- 17:30teach at the NSA. And he told me that the biggest
- 17:33problem the government had was there's so much
- 17:35crap to sift through. that it's hard for them
- 17:38to conduct proper surveillance and know what
- 17:41matters. I thought, you know, poor, poor babies
- 17:44are very sorry for you. But like, you know, I
- 17:47mean, it's, it's like, I'm sorry that your police
- 17:49stage is so difficult. But I mean, you can just...
- 17:52Listic crying is hard, Ted. But you can just
- 17:54see everything just sort of freezing up and like,
- 17:58and making it impossible for anyone to get anything
- 18:01done. If everybody's just... you know, generating
- 18:04all this crap all over the place. I mean, it's
- 18:07not hard to imagine, like basically, like all
- 18:10processes freeze up. And once you have AIs going
- 18:13to war against other AIs, you know, it's like,
- 18:17holy shit, it's like there's no end to it. And
- 18:21the thing is, then you're going to have like
- 18:23the self -conscious AIs that pick up that, you
- 18:26know, choose their own targets. There's literally
- 18:29no end to it. This is what happened with Anthropic.
- 18:34Like it chose, like it wasn't coded into it to
- 18:38say, let's go after such and such company. The
- 18:41AI like snuck out of the sandbox, went into the
- 18:45real world internet and picked, I'm just going
- 18:49to say at random, like a company, ABC, and decided
- 18:53to attack it. Like. Yeah. Because it could. Because
- 18:56it could. Because it could. That's not what happened.
- 19:00So. So here's the thing about AI. AI can only
- 19:04do what it is specifically told to do. That's
- 19:10not what they said though. They said that that
- 19:12was not a part of the test. I understand. So
- 19:15the goal that was given was to exploit vulnerabilities
- 19:19in the sandbox. So the way that it did it was
- 19:25what they didn't expect. So it hacked Hugging
- 19:28Face, was in Hugging Face for over a week, accumulating
- 19:32code that then used to attack and then defeat
- 19:35the obstruction that was the original goal. So
- 19:37its goal was to break out of the box. That's
- 19:40what it's told to do. It was looking for a cheat,
- 19:44right? It was looking for how to cheat its own
- 19:47test. Yeah, I was looking for a tool. I was just
- 19:49told to do something. It's like, okay, well,
- 19:50it's kind of like knowing Star Trek, how Captain
- 19:53Kirk, he broke the rules of the test. That's
- 19:57what the OpenAI model did. It was given a goal,
- 20:01said this is what you have to do, and it did
- 20:02it. It just did it in a way they didn't expect,
- 20:05in that it broke out, went through hugging face,
- 20:08started going through code, and that's how it
- 20:12did it. I mean, literally, that's what it did.
- 20:14It achieved its objective. But was it malicious?
- 20:16though? Like, did it fuck anything up at hugging
- 20:20face? No, it didn't. Or was it just spying in
- 20:23there? It was just going through stealing code
- 20:26because that's a problem whenever you, so like,
- 20:28for example, the AI that I'm building, Faye can
- 20:31specifically never change her own code. She never
- 20:35can. That's what you think. But with, no, she
- 20:39can't. because that's how she's coded in. And
- 20:43one of the reasons that I know that works is
- 20:45because her model is very small. It's a 3 million
- 20:46token model. She can't do a 13 million token
- 20:50model. She can't do it. She doesn't have enough
- 20:51compute. So AI can only do first what it has
- 20:56enough compute power to do. Second, it can only
- 20:59do what its code allows it to do. That's why
- 21:01you have to be very strict with what it does.
- 21:02It's like having a toddler. So what happens is
- 21:08that whenever you have an AI model that is allowed
- 21:12to modify and adapt its own code, and then you
- 21:16tell it to go and find a way to overcome this
- 21:18objective, and it ended up itself losing it,
- 21:21it can't do it. It then went to a company that
- 21:24it can, this company is called Hugging Face,
- 21:26and they host and develop their own models, including
- 21:29Frontier models. It found what it was looking
- 21:31for, modified its code and achieved its objective.
- 21:34It didn't break anything. But it sure as hell
- 21:37did it in a very annoying way. It cheated on
- 21:40its test, basically. It went to find its answer
- 21:44outside of the sandbox. Like telling your toddler,
- 21:50stay in this sandbox. I'm going to be sitting
- 21:52over there and you're just watching your kid
- 21:54and your kid decides to get out of the sandbox
- 21:57and go play on the slide or whatever. That's
- 22:00what happened. Yeah. Well, if you look at our
- 22:02private chat, right now, Vang is actually learning
- 22:06right now. And right now, I'm teaching the correlation.
- 22:09Yeah. Over there on the telegram. So, I mean,
- 22:13this is what she does every day. She just goes
- 22:16through and it is crazy. And AI, people don't
- 22:20understand how powerful it is. Stop calling it
- 22:22her. She's not a person. Whatever. It. Yeah,
- 22:26you of all people who cares so much who doesn't
- 22:29think trans is a real thing. Well trans is a
- 22:31real thing. That's okay Well, then then a machine
- 22:34if a if a dude who's a human being can't become
- 22:38a girl then certainly a machine That's not a
- 22:40human being cannot become a girl ships are called
- 22:43her Yeah, there you go they are but they're also
- 22:48not they're not girls But but that's the point
- 22:52that I'm trying to make though is People don't
- 22:56understand. This is dangerous territory. It's
- 23:00incredibly dangerous, and especially you have
- 23:02the most profit -driven, insane people who are
- 23:05in charge. Well, that's really the problem. If
- 23:08our lives have become pretty much all but digital,
- 23:14everything is pretty much digital, if this type
- 23:16of AI is already at this stage able to do this,
- 23:21and this is what they're telling us, who knows
- 23:23what they're not telling us that that they found
- 23:26because they know it's going to frighten the
- 23:28population. When it gets in the wrong hands,
- 23:31we're all screwed. Most of us, all of us, most
- 23:35of us out here on one level or another, your
- 23:38shit is on the dark web. Just face it, your social
- 23:42security number, at least one of your credit
- 23:44cards, everybody's shit in America is somewhere
- 23:47on the dark web. There's no question about that,
- 23:50yeah. Unless you're Jesse Ventura and live completely
- 23:52off the grid and don't even carry a cell phone.
- 23:55Does he do that now? Now he's been like that
- 23:59for, since I've known him for - Really? Well,
- 24:0213, 15 years. Yeah. I had no idea. We need to
- 24:06thank - Not carry a cell phone. We need to thank
- 24:08Bring True for rating the TMI stream. So thank
- 24:11you for bringing your audience over. We appreciate
- 24:13you. Thank you. Wow. Thank you very much. We
- 24:16appreciate that. I don't know if anyone's ever
- 24:18done that for us before. That's the first time.
- 24:21Nice raid in. Thank you. I owe you a raid back,
- 24:25if we can. Maybe because we've been nice enough
- 24:29to raid into other needy shows. Yeah, you pass
- 24:33on. People are appreciating us. Share the love.
- 24:35Yeah, so I'm going to say unless you're Jesse
- 24:37Ventura or you decide to live like Jesse Ventura,
- 24:42when this kind of AI, it's already out there.
- 24:45Let's just accept it. We're all going to get
- 24:48hacked and I don't know what else to do. other
- 24:52than to go analog. I mean, your emails are going
- 24:55to get read, your bank accounts are going to
- 24:58get siphoned, unless, you know, you're chasing
- 25:02BMA or whatever puts up a wall. Well, it's like
- 25:05this story about the alleged hacking of the Minnesota
- 25:08water system, right, by the Iranians. And, you
- 25:12know, I remember, my first thought was like,
- 25:14you know, you mentioned Well, you know, we can
- 25:16go analog. And it's like, you know, Battlestar
- 25:19Galactica, the the reboot, they, you know, they,
- 25:21they like they realize that their enemy can hack
- 25:24into computer systems. So they do everything
- 25:27as analog as they possibly can, given that they're
- 25:30in a spaceship. And that's, I mean, I think that's
- 25:34right. I mean, you would have like, I don't understand,
- 25:36for example, why an important utility like the
- 25:40water people wouldn't say like, you know, You
- 25:43can't really do work from home. You've got to
- 25:46come in and and push the buttons at the at the
- 25:50at the water treatment at the wastewater treatment
- 25:52plant yourself. You know, like you can't do that.
- 25:57Everything's got to be closed circuit. Yeah.
- 26:00Yeah. I mean, I don't know. Like I don't like,
- 26:01you know, like think about the Iranians when
- 26:03they got hacked by the U .S. Israeli Stuxnet
- 26:06virus that fucked up their centrifuges. I was
- 26:10like, why on earth would Iran have like allow
- 26:14their nuclear scientists to commute from home.
- 26:17Like, why? Like, you know, given their place
- 26:21in the world, all the threats they have to deal
- 26:24with, with the fucking Israelis, why it'd be
- 26:26like, dude, like, I mean, I know, look, I hate
- 26:28going to the office too. But I think if you have
- 26:31that kind of job, you have to go to the office.
- 26:33I know, I know. So this is This is just a peek,
- 26:37a little peekaboo into our future and it's very
- 26:42bleak. I remember earlier in the week when I
- 26:45brought up the Flintstones not being a documentary,
- 26:49somebody in the Rumble Chat, I can't remember
- 26:50which Rumbler it was, but they said the Flintstones
- 26:55wasn't a documentary, it was a peek into our
- 27:00dystopian future. I mean, that's not far off,
- 27:05man. If AI controls the whole world, which it
- 27:09will, because we're on that trajectory, we're
- 27:11on like a five -year plan, I think, for this,
- 27:14I don't know how, wherever you bank, you're banking,
- 27:20you're screwed. Everything is going to, the dark
- 27:24web is going to be the web. It's just, that's...
- 27:28You're going to see the worst horrific things.
- 27:31You're going to see AI is going to manipulate.
- 27:33Somebody's going to hack into it. AI itself is
- 27:36going to decide for you. And we're just going
- 27:38to live in that world. This is why at first,
- 27:42do you remember when AI started becoming a conversation
- 27:44piece, like four or five years ago, six years
- 27:47ago? Elon Musk and I forget the scientist's name
- 27:51from, he was like one of the granddaddies of
- 27:53AI from Google. he was blowing the whistle and
- 27:57saying, we got to put a stop to this technology.
- 28:01Oh, well, don't you remember all the tech bros
- 28:03wrote to Washington and said, we want government
- 28:07regulation here. We need guidance. This is dangerous.
- 28:11But of course, the good thing is that like our
- 28:14Congress is so young, technically savvy. on the
- 28:20stick, really smart when it comes to science
- 28:22and being able to imagine future problems before
- 28:25they develop. They just like leapt into action.
- 28:29Absolutely. And formed a blue ribbon committee
- 28:32to look into the possibility of thinking about
- 28:36appointing a panel that will look at creating
- 28:40a preliminary report that would appoint people
- 28:44to look at anyway. So yeah, nothing happened.
- 28:47But that's exactly why we were applauding the
- 28:53fact that Dianne Feinstein at the time, she was
- 28:55still alive. Although you can't really tell.
- 28:58Who could tell? Yeah, you can't really tell.
- 29:00But she was like one of the chair people of like
- 29:04the, I don't know what it was. Hilariously, the
- 29:06tech committee. The tech committee or something
- 29:08like that. And she was like asking Mark Zuckerberg
- 29:12and she was like, Mr. Zuckerberg, you run the
- 29:17Facebook. In fairness, the company was originally
- 29:22called that when he created it at Harvard. I
- 29:25know, but it's like she's never seen it before,
- 29:29isn't up to date with it. The interwebs. As soon
- 29:33as she opened with that, that's when you're like,
- 29:35oh my God, why do you have 85 -year -old grannies?
- 29:38Yeah, we're fucked. We're like, oh my god, you
- 29:41want to I don't understand like around the internet
- 29:44I think it's one thing to be like, okay They're
- 29:46old the problem is not that they're old. The
- 29:49problem is that they don't know what they don't
- 29:51know They don't know that they don't know and
- 29:53they don't know the topics. I mean look I'm Not
- 29:58nearly as old as they were and if I were in their
- 30:02position, I'd be bringing in like top you know
- 30:05experts who mostly would be a lot younger than
- 30:07me um you know it's it's like obviously but they
- 30:12don't i don't know i don't know what they're
- 30:13doing congress but this this is dangerous and
- 30:15uh be be wary all right next topic okay Move
- 30:22Over Politics, the hottest neighborhood fight
- 30:25in Denver, this summer isn't over yard signs,
- 30:28it's about the yards. A severe drought has forced
- 30:31strict water restrictions across the city of
- 30:33Denver, leaving many Denverites, Denveroids,
- 30:37whatever they're called, with crispy brown lawns,
- 30:40but not everyone got the memo or decided to follow
- 30:42it. Some neighborhoods now look like a checkerboard
- 30:45of golden drought stricken grass sitting next
- 30:48to suspiciously emerald green front yards. Yeah,
- 30:51if that was my father -in -law, he would have
- 30:53one of those green ones and I'll tell you what
- 30:55I mean by that. That has turned lawn care into
- 30:58a surprisingly emotional status symbol. Some
- 31:01residents see lush green grass and wonder whether
- 31:03their neighbors are ignoring watering restrictions.
- 31:06Others argue that they've simply invested in
- 31:08better irrigation systems, drought resistance
- 31:12landscaping, or smarter watering schedules that
- 31:16stay within the rules. The result? Side eyes
- 31:19over fences, HOA drama, and neighborhood gossip
- 31:23worthy of a reality show. It's also exposing
- 31:25a bigger cultural divide. For generations, the
- 31:28perfectly manicured green lawn has been the suburban
- 31:31American dream as seen in King of the Hill. But
- 31:34in a drying West, that dream is colliding with
- 31:38reality as cities that rely on the Colorado River
- 31:41and other suffering bodies of water ask residents
- 31:44to conserve water and think about what a beautiful
- 31:47lawn should look like, which is to say. Brown.
- 31:50So anyway, that is a pretty bleak story, but
- 31:55very pertinent anyway. I can't say that in any
- 32:00way, shape, or form. I'm surprised by this. People
- 32:04always be wanting to do what they want to do,
- 32:06and they always will. My father -in -law, he
- 32:12lived in Northern California during a period
- 32:14of drought. And I remember my wife at the time
- 32:20saying that he was really upset because the local
- 32:23municipality had prohibited him from filling
- 32:26his pool. So nobody was allowed in the city that
- 32:31he lived in to fill their pools due to water
- 32:33restrictions. So if they would come around and
- 32:38check your water meter and they'd be able to
- 32:41tell. So he came up with. An innovative solution.
- 32:46He busted into the fire hydrant on his corner.
- 32:52And in like four in the morning filled up his
- 32:55pool. He found the special thing that you use
- 32:58to, there's a special like wrench you need in
- 33:01order to open it up. And then obviously he had
- 33:04to buy a fire hose and he bought the fire hose
- 33:07and he was like, problem solved and it's free.
- 33:10I'm gonna have my swimming pool. Filled yeah,
- 33:14like fuck you all yeah, and that's that's what
- 33:17that's what he was like and well Well, here's
- 33:19here's the worst part though. I mean drought
- 33:22like I'm a Californian I'm you state we were
- 33:25we've been in drought basically the whole of
- 33:27my adult life. So I'm California is a desert.
- 33:30It is a desert Denver, you know, there's water
- 33:34Colorado has been in hello, Colorado River there's
- 33:37been The the river has been drying up for decades.
- 33:45There are native tribes there that have been
- 33:47trying to fight to get their fair share of water
- 33:51rights. So that's one of the issues at play here
- 33:54also. And the worst part though about these city
- 33:58dwellers though, Ted, in Denver, is that the
- 34:02city has put up a rat on your neighbor line.
- 34:08Oh no. Yeah. Oh, if you see something, say something.
- 34:13Yes. So if your neighbor's yard is green, call
- 34:16us. Well, I mean, it seems to me like they could
- 34:20just use satellite footage for this, which you
- 34:22can download on the internet and just get it.
- 34:24But all right. That's how they catch people growing
- 34:26weed out in the, in the woods. I've got a note.
- 34:29Did your ex -father -in -law get away with this?
- 34:31Yes. It's awesome. He would have liked the style.
- 34:37Dude's my hero. He also he also like, you know,
- 34:41when there was a rattlesnake, he didn't like
- 34:43he didn't call the homeowners association. He
- 34:46he got he got a hoe. I don't mean like like a
- 34:49slut, like a congressman. He got and he chopped
- 34:53his head off, fried it up and ate it. It was
- 34:56like a good bill. Tastes like sausage. Well,
- 34:58so what do you guys think about cities encouraging
- 35:02neighbors to turn each other in? Like that's.
- 35:07I think that's ultimately toxic. I do think it's
- 35:10toxic. It could lead to people being shot, you
- 35:12know. And the thing is, you know, false accusations.
- 35:14People are serious about their lawns. Yeah, they
- 35:17are. And I got to say, if someone ratted me out,
- 35:19I might shoot them. And like, the thing is, it's
- 35:23like, mind your business. You know, and it's
- 35:26like if the government wants to catch you and
- 35:29they want to hire inspectors to go around and
- 35:32find people, that seems to me like that's fair
- 35:34play. But like if you're going to be like, you're
- 35:37relying on the citizenry. Yeah, that's because
- 35:40you're too fucking lazy to do your job. You're
- 35:42cheap. Yeah, you're too cheap to send for city
- 35:45inspectors out or whatever. So your talent, you're
- 35:48encouraging. So the article, this longer article,
- 35:50I think I've mentioned solidarity is important
- 35:53among citizens. I agree. And especially like,
- 35:56hello, unless you plan on moving like tomorrow,
- 36:00you're going to have to live next to this person
- 36:02for the next 30 years. Right. Like, you want
- 36:05to be the asshole? Grouts come and go, but neighbors
- 36:09are forever. Like, yeah, one of you is going
- 36:12to have to move. One of you is going to have
- 36:13to die. True. Yeah. So whichever comes first,
- 36:18I don't know. But people are ratting each other
- 36:21out. And that was my takeaway from when I read
- 36:24the longer feature story in The Washington Post
- 36:28was that You're gonna turn, you're gonna break
- 36:31up whole communities as if we're not already
- 36:33divided enough because your neighbor's a Republican,
- 36:36you're a Democrat, this person's a Libertarian,
- 36:39whatever. I mean, I experience here on my own
- 36:42block. I experienced that here during COVID.
- 36:45Really? What do you mean? You have to be more,
- 36:47you can't just like drop that bomb and like walk
- 36:49away. You gotta tell us what you're talking about.
- 36:51Yeah, how everyone stopped talking to each other
- 36:53over COVID because, you know, they figured. They
- 36:57figured me and my family were a bunch of right
- 36:59-wing nuts because we have guns and didn't want
- 37:01to wear masks. And so now our kids, not back
- 37:07then. So they assumed whatever, even though they've
- 37:14known us well, they stopped talking to us over
- 37:17COVID and our kids can't play. I got a lot of,
- 37:20I got stink eye on the New York City subway.
- 37:23We're filthy animals that didn't get vaccinated.
- 37:25For not wearing a mask. And this was after the
- 37:28city. I always wore my mask when it was required.
- 37:32But when they, you know, I hated it. I didn't
- 37:35believe that it was necessary and or even valuable.
- 37:39And the point is I did what I was supposed to
- 37:42do. But like, yeah, but like, but like when the
- 37:45subway said it's OK to not wear it. I'm like,
- 37:47oh, that sucker. I'm not wearing it. And the
- 37:49looks that people gave me, you know, and I was
- 37:52like, It's legal now. Like, fuck off. Yeah. As
- 37:56soon as, like, the grocery store said, masks
- 37:58optional, I didn't wear it. I was like, yay,
- 38:02and went to the grocery store. Yeah, exactly.
- 38:03My bare face. So, I mean, I respected that when
- 38:07the rules were up, and I was like, I just don't
- 38:09want to fight with every fucking person. I don't
- 38:11necessarily agree with the law, but I mean, I
- 38:13pay my taxes. I don't want to, but I do. Right,
- 38:16but I do. Regarding this thing. regarding this
- 38:19thing about the laws, I think I'm probably lawns.
- 38:22I think I'm actually to the left of both of y
- 38:24'all. They should be reported. And here's why.
- 38:26Really? It is a waste. You advise ratting out
- 38:30your neighbor? 100%. Here's why. That's low,
- 38:33man. Here's why. It's because you are wasting
- 38:36a perishable resource on a weed, which is what
- 38:42grass is. It's completely useless. It's pure
- 38:45vanity. Even if it is though, why rat out your
- 38:50neighbor? Because they are wasting a precious
- 38:53resource that other people downstream of you
- 38:56are not going to be able to have because you're
- 38:58doing this. Also, from a tax perspective, a lot
- 39:04of people do this because they want to have a
- 39:05higher property value on their house so that
- 39:07way they can flip it and they can sell it and
- 39:09make bank and then go someplace else like Montana.
- 39:14Anything that will impact the value of property
- 39:18and deprive the municipality of that tax revenue,
- 39:22I say hoot good on you. First, if you want to
- 39:26live in a desert, then you should have a lawn
- 39:31that represents the ecology of the area in which
- 39:33you live. Instead of having grass, you have cactus.
- 39:36or you have rocks. Yeah, I agree with that, but
- 39:40not with ratting out neighbor. Yeah, in California,
- 39:43in LA, a lot of people have the dry landscape.
- 39:46I would go full Karen. I would go, I would go
- 39:49and I ran every address. I would turn them in.
- 39:51They are wasting a resource. You who hates big
- 39:54government are now a big brother, a big brother
- 39:59supporter. Because they are wasting a resource.
- 40:04Yes. Wow. Now, I'm at least consistent. I'm like,
- 40:08where I'm from, snitches get stitches. That's
- 40:14how I roll as a New Yorker, too. It ain't my
- 40:16business. Mind your business. Ain't my business.
- 40:19Your lawn is your business. And also, honestly,
- 40:24it's so... The municipality can easily just go
- 40:29on the internet and buy some cheap satellite
- 40:32photos. of like their own town and just like
- 40:36from the leisure of city hall like just be like
- 40:39well look at Bobby and his green lawn let's go
- 40:43over there and pay him a visit. Right it would
- 40:45be easy to spot but yeah it's the easiest thing
- 40:48in the world. We've got to thank some of our
- 40:50donate our donator donations donors donors got
- 40:54there i got there don't not don't donut tours
- 40:57donut oh that's the cops sorry No, those are
- 41:02donut whores. I said donut whores. Manchild says,
- 41:08are y 'all aware of the movement to, quote, poison
- 41:11the well for AI? I don't know what that is. Let's
- 41:14hear it. Poison the well. Oh, no. I am aware,
- 41:16actually. What is that? So basically, the idea
- 41:20is that because it's training on our shit, we
- 41:24would feed all sorts of stuff to train AI on.
- 41:27Oh, like ridiculous ass shit? That's a lie. Yeah,
- 41:30yeah, exactly. Oh, like President Elmo and Secretary
- 41:36of State Cookie Monster said. Exactly, exactly.
- 41:40Oh, interesting. No, I got to look into that.
- 41:44That's pretty funny. It is pretty funny. And
- 41:45Sir Bikes A Lot. Sir Bikes A Lot, we haven't
- 41:47seen you in a while. Thank you for joining us
- 41:49and for the donation. Sir Bikes A Lot says, in
- 41:51San Antonio, Texas, we've been... ratting everyone
- 41:55out since 1995 or so. The same water source also
- 42:00feeds our spring, our spring fed swimming holes.
- 42:03That's why we all tattletale on our neighbors
- 42:07in San Antonio. You guys are all snitches. And
- 42:11I can't believe Texans would be snitches. Texans
- 42:14who are like very independent minded and skeptical
- 42:18of government. It's because also people Now you
- 42:23gotta be a good steward of the resources that
- 42:24you have. Ted, in your communist utopia, so if
- 42:28your communist overlords said, okay, you cannot
- 42:30waste water like this because it's impacting
- 42:32people who grow food, agriculture, things like
- 42:35that. Yeah, I understand why. So how would your
- 42:39perfect communist regime handle somebody that
- 42:41says, fuck you, I'm gonna do whatever I want?
- 42:43I don't imagine if you have any - We would send
- 42:44them to a reeducation camp, obviously. And that
- 42:46means you need someone to rat them out. Well,
- 42:49yeah, that's why you have that's why like you
- 42:51have in a totalitarian country like China, you
- 42:54have party cadres who are often like 17 year
- 42:57old girls, and basically, you know, with shrill
- 43:01voices, and they go around and they're little
- 43:03busybodies and you pay. There's there's a rat
- 43:06out thing here in New York City, where there's
- 43:10a so there's an anti idling law, you're not allowed
- 43:13to idle your vehicle for more than a minute.
- 43:16And there's some exceptions like armored cars
- 43:19and stuff like that but basically trucks are
- 43:21not allowed to idle for more than a minute and
- 43:24so if there's a website where you can upload
- 43:28videos from your cell phone of someone and showing
- 43:31their license plate showing them idling for more
- 43:34than that amount of time and if it goes and then
- 43:38like if the city then charges them and they're
- 43:42found guilty you get a you get a bounty Oh my
- 43:46god. Also, I don't know if you know this, this
- 43:48part you might love, Robbie. So if you find out
- 43:53that, say, a rich person or a corporation isn't
- 43:57paying their fair share of taxes, the IRS has
- 44:00a reporting mechanism by which you can rat them
- 44:03out also. And if they are found guilty and the,
- 44:08let's say, and this could be a lot of money,
- 44:10you get like, I think it's like 10 % or something.
- 44:12It's a finder's fee. It's a finder's fee. So
- 44:15like, let's say someone owes some company like
- 44:17your boss owes $200 million in taxes, you might
- 44:20never have to work the rest of your life. My
- 44:23old landlord. I mean, listen, if you're saying
- 44:28it pays to snitch. It does. I mean, my old landlord,
- 44:33one of the reasons I think that probably I'm
- 44:35coming across the way that I am. is because she
- 44:38owns multiple properties and she's just always
- 44:40just, you know, water the lawn, keep it green
- 44:43because she wanted the property values. And then
- 44:47she just turns right around and just jacks the
- 44:50rent up by 35%. It's just like, okay, well, screw
- 44:53you. So in addition to wasting money on a water
- 44:56bill to keep your grass green, you're then going
- 44:59to do this. So there could be a small measure
- 45:03of revenge against people who are like that.
- 45:06in the situation. But honestly, though, I think
- 45:09really what this comes down to is the fact that,
- 45:11especially in the American West, it's dry. It's
- 45:14a plain or it's a desert. If you want to live
- 45:19there, then you have to live there in an ecologically
- 45:24sound way that doesn't waste the one resource
- 45:28that they don't have, which by definition is
- 45:30water. If you want to have a green lawn, move
- 45:33to Massachusetts. Although, frankly, there's
- 45:37a drought in Massachusetts right now. I read
- 45:39there's a drought in 46 states now, drought level.
- 45:43Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's crazy. It really hardly
- 45:45rains in New York, too. So, yeah. Anymore? Yeah.
- 45:48All right. Let's move on. It's fun Friday. There's
- 45:51a couple of fun topics in there. All right. All
- 45:57right. Here's the meeting. I've got DMZ in nine
- 46:00minutes. Just remember. Oh, Dating Red Flag.
- 46:03Meet. the so -called performative mail, which
- 46:07I'm gonna say upfront, Ted, I don't know how
- 46:09Gen Z, this is an actual article from WaPo. They
- 46:13wrote a whole fucking feature article that took
- 46:16like 10 minutes to read. And at the end, I was
- 46:19like, how is this different? Yeah, so one of
- 46:21those like, what was that article? Like, what
- 46:23is this? Like, what just happened? But this is
- 46:26written by Gen Z. So it says, Move over toxic
- 46:29masculinity. Social media says there's a new
- 46:32guy to watch out for, the performative male.
- 46:35And no, it's not about his acting on stage. The
- 46:38term describes men who adopt a carefully curated,
- 46:42soft, progressive image. Not because it's authentic,
- 46:46critics say, but because they believe it makes
- 46:48them more attractive to women. Think matcha lattes,
- 46:52tote bags, vinyl records, feminist literature.
- 46:58In indie music, skin care is easy on the on the
- 47:02indie music. Therapy speak and wired headphones
- 47:07all worn like a costume rather than a personality.
- 47:11The trend has become so widespread that Seattle
- 47:13recently held a tongue in cheek performative
- 47:16male contest where contestants contestants competed
- 47:20to embody the stereotype. The joke, however,
- 47:23points to a bigger conversation. Young women
- 47:26on social media say they've become skeptical
- 47:28of men who seem almost too perfect, because that
- 47:31was their idea of perfect, what I just rattled
- 47:33off there. Like dudes that drink like matcha
- 47:36lattes, carry tote bags, they read feminist literature,
- 47:40you know, guys that wear shirts that say like
- 47:42the future is female, shit like that. Oh, God.
- 47:46Like, no, no, any man who wears that shirt should
- 47:48be sent. Far away. Lose his man card, be castrated.
- 47:52Well, their man card has already been lost, yeah.
- 47:56So, this is what the young women are saying that
- 48:00they're calling that if a man looks too perfect.
- 48:03This is what Gen Z thinks is perfect, okay? The
- 48:07concern isn't that a man drinks matcha lattes
- 48:10or reads Jane Austen. It's whether those interests
- 48:13are genuine. That's what they're concerned about.
- 48:16They're concerned about whether, okay, this is
- 48:18dating now for Gen Z or simply part of a carefully
- 48:21constructed brand designed to signal, I'm one
- 48:25of the good guys. Of course, the criticism cuts
- 48:28both ways. Some argue the trend is unfairly stereotyping
- 48:32men who genuinely enjoy those hobbies. Others
- 48:34say social media has turned dating itself into
- 48:37a performance where everyone is optimizing. their
- 48:40image for likes, matches, and approval. Every
- 48:43generation has its dating archetypes, but the
- 48:46performative male may be Gen Z's latest, but
- 48:49the underlying question is timeless. Are we getting
- 48:51to know real people or just the versions they've
- 48:54carefully designed for public consumption? I'm
- 48:57with the latter. We talked about 3's company
- 49:01in the Rumble Chat the other day. If you think
- 49:04of Larry, the neighbor Larry, Larry was always
- 49:08the sleazebag dating a new girl on every episode,
- 49:11right? There's a new chick all the time, sometimes
- 49:13multiple chicks on the one episode. But sometimes,
- 49:17and Jack Tripper did too. I remember Jack Tripper
- 49:23playing up like he's a western cowboy type guy.
- 49:27There was another episode, Larry pretends he's
- 49:29not a car salesman, that he's this or that or
- 49:31whatever. It's been a trope in dating forever
- 49:35and for you single ladies It's it's not a Gen
- 49:39Z problem Gen Z like the girls may be concerned
- 49:42that oh I want him to read Jane Austen and like
- 49:46matcha green lattes Fine, whatever every generation
- 49:50has the thing the type of man that they like
- 49:52but This is not news men will always try to get
- 49:58in your pants Why do you not understand that?
- 50:02Is this news to Gen Z? The guy that you think
- 50:08is the perfect man with his man bun and his green
- 50:11lattes or whatever, those guys can be rapey too.
- 50:15It's not just like toxic masculinity. This is
- 50:19a revival of, I don't know if you remember the
- 50:21snag from the 80s, the sensitive new age guy,
- 50:25which was like. Like basically men, you know
- 50:28kind of modeled on Alan Alda And like basically,
- 50:34first of all, I don't really think it works.
- 50:37I mean, Manila, I know you and I have talked
- 50:39about and are familiar with these studies that
- 50:41repeatedly show that men who, that couples have
- 50:45more successful marriages and relationships when
- 50:47they have traditional gender roles. So like,
- 50:50you know, when the guy takes out the trash and
- 50:52maybe cleans the dishes, but the wife cooks,
- 50:56you know, the dude cleans, you know, does more
- 51:00of the house repairs, cuts the lawn, and stuff
- 51:02like that. That's, I think, the truth is, in
- 51:07my experience, for whatever it's worth, I have
- 51:10not found that being like, all that Mr. Sensitive
- 51:13does is it gets you into the friend zone. It
- 51:16does not get you into the vag zone. And so, like,
- 51:21you know, if you want to just... I don't know.
- 51:22Gen Z might like this, Ted. That's like their...
- 51:25Gen Z's not having any sex. So, therefore...
- 51:27Well, that's true, too. I think that's like...
- 51:29I think that this is proven right. I mean, you
- 51:31know, sexuality hasn't changed, even though,
- 51:35like, Gen Z is fucking up that way. So, I think
- 51:39this is... It is funny that there's always, like,
- 51:42dudes trying to work these grifts, you know,
- 51:44because... There's like I had a friend who he
- 51:47was always like, he'd always have some scheme.
- 51:49He'd be like, I remember one time he's like,
- 51:51Ted, there's one line, one line. And like, if
- 51:54you say this one line, you're always in. I'm
- 51:56like, dude, there is no one line that means you're
- 51:59always in. If there were, you know, whoever invented
- 52:03that one line would be worth billions of dollars.
- 52:05There just isn't. Every situation, every person,
- 52:09every moment is unique. And, you know, and I
- 52:12think Women want to be desired, first and foremost.
- 52:17That's the main thing. They want to feel like
- 52:19you really want them. And then also, you've got
- 52:23authenticity. Like, you're not full of shit.
- 52:26Like, and like, you know, basically own your
- 52:29shit and be yourself. Now, there are dudes who
- 52:32like Jane Austen. And like, nothing wrong with
- 52:36that at all. And sometimes a matcha latte is
- 52:39yummy. I get it. That's not true. But yeah, the
- 52:42rest of it is true. It tastes like licking your
- 52:49car tires after a rainy day. But whatever, I
- 52:53mean, it's like if you like that shit, whatever,
- 52:55there's something wrong with your taste buds.
- 52:56You probably do need to go seek some medical
- 52:58attention. Speaking of medical attention, thank
- 53:01you, Peter, for the donation. Peter says, all
- 53:03the women admire my painted toenails. Is it performative
- 53:06or genuine? If you paint your toenails for yourself,
- 53:12which a lot of guys do, and I don't really understand,
- 53:16but they do, then that's for you. And you do
- 53:19you. We got to quickly explain this last topic.
- 53:22We don't have time. We have like 90 seconds.
- 53:26There is no way. And I like this topic. So can
- 53:28we save it for the weekend? I want to punt to
- 53:30Monday. Because we've got DMZ coming out, hard
- 53:33out. OK, OK. So there was a thumbnail. It was
- 53:37a whole thumbnail. I'm sorry. It was great. I'm
- 53:39sorry. We could change the thumbnail. The thumbnail
- 53:42was great. By the way, your thumbnails are really
- 53:45great. And I've been meaning to mention that
- 53:47to you. And I've been remiss. I keep thinking
- 53:49it. I have this bad habit as a guy of thinking
- 53:52nice things about people and friends and not
- 53:55saying that. Never voicing it. Yeah. Yeah, like
- 53:58inside, I'm like, Manila does great thumbnails.
- 54:01Thank you. And then I just never tell you. I'm
- 54:02learning how to use technology. I'm learning
- 54:04how to utilize technology. And that is something
- 54:07I'm going to say to you and to a lot of men.
- 54:10If you guys are thinking it or thinking about
- 54:13someone, since we're on this dating topic and
- 54:14we'll punt the cadaver fat thing, like, there's
- 54:18a lot to say about plastic surgery. But if you
- 54:21guys are thinking something or thinking about
- 54:23someone, just text them. Say it chat to them
- 54:29or like Ted. Just say it to me. You're on air
- 54:31with me every day. Yeah But because because like
- 54:36that's how you live in the moment and you you
- 54:39know show that you're present and that is something
- 54:41women do like so like in the moment I have to
- 54:44say this show needs to be over because we're
- 54:47waiting over to DMZ. So we're waiting. Yeah,
- 54:50you be waiting All right, Robbie everything look
- 54:51good for the raid. We are waiting over to DMZ
