Set 2: A.I. is Coming for us All (w/ Bomani Jones) · Stugotz and Company

• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Our thanks to T-Bob for joining us at set one.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: It is our pleasure to bring on Bomani Jones here.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: The right time with Bomani Jones, wherever you get your podcasts.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: It's fantastic. I felt like you were patronizing me by saying, Hey,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: look at your jets right before we started here. Jets
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: got to win. Yeah, they got to win.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I wasn't patronizing them.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: I was saying that they got to win. Now, don't
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: get me wrong. I don't think that that was quite
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the positive reflection of the Tennessee Titans.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Like, two things may be, you know, the same at once,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: but I... I think that Gino was a much better
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: quarterback than it looked like he was last year. Under circumstances,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think anybody could have been successful. And I'm
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: not saying that Gino's going to be a great quarterback
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: for them, but I think they have a good quarterback,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: and I can't tell you the last time they had
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: a simply good quarterback.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Right. Yes, well, they had one. He just won a
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl in Seattle.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, no, but he wasn't good when you had him.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: He wasn't even that good with Seattle.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Well, Geno wasn't good when we had him, then went
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to Seattle and came back a better quarterback.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: That's correct. That's what I'm saying, man. Sam Darnold, when
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: you guys had him, people who knocked the Jets for
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: letting him go, I'm like, were you here? Were you
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: watching this? Do you remember how long ago that was?
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, he was bad. It's interesting. Is it fair
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to ask, just because we're on that game, is it
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: fair to ask whether or not Cam Ward is good? Yes.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: From what I could tell the advanced numbers people, the
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: case for him being good was not good. The numbers
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: were really bad. Now, we've seen guys turn that around.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Jerry Goff, for example, had rookie year numbers that were
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: positively damning. and he has become a good NFL quarterback.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: It is possible that Cam Ward can be a good
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: NFL quarterback because he's also in an abjectly terrible situation.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: But it is possible that part of why the situation
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: is bad is because he's bad. That's on the board.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting. Bomani, Justin Herbert is a guy that
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I've been ripping for years. I am tired of people
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: telling me how great Justin Herbert is. I am tired
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of people making excuses for Justin Herbert. He's out of
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: excuses now. Mike McDaniels is offensive coordinator. Jim Harbaugh is
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: his head coach. He needs to be better. I'm not
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: certain he's that good.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I am curious as to why the excuses are
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: so prevalent from so many people.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I don't quite get that with him. I don't know
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: what it is that people find to be uniquely endearing.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: He is physically talented, but you go look at what
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: he's done. He's been pretty good in the NFL. It's
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: not simply a criticism of what Herbert has done in
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the postseason. So like Lamar Jackson, for example, the only
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: room there is to truly criticize him is what you
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: believe he has not done in the postseason. But in
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the regular season, he's truly one of the greatest quarterbacks
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: of all time. Three-time first-team All-Pro. He's going to walk
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: into the Hall of Fame. That's not Justin Herbert. So,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: with a okay, I guess, regular season resume or performance
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: plus being terrible in the playoffs, I don't see why
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: anybody would expend any capital on the idea that he
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: is good. I think part of what happens is sometimes
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: you look up and you don't realize how old somebody is. Like,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: This is year seven. Yes.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Okay. Right.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: We've already ended Tua's career.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts has been to two Super Bowls. These are
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: guys from your same draft.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: What have you done other than look bad in the playoffs? Right.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Well, look good while looking bad in the playoffs, just
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: from a physical standpoint.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: If you were starting a team, would you start with,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: and your two options were Justin Herbert and Jackson Dart,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: who would you choose there?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Wow. oh, buddy, I don't like you putting me in
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: this position. I have to say, he looked really good
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: on Sunday night.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, he did.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: If all I have to work with is what I
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: saw in that game, then I guess we're going with
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Jackson Dart. The only thing about it is, and this
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: is very important, I've talked about this with Jackson Dart
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and Skedaddle, If either of them were my children, like,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: when we went out, I'd make them wear helmets.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Like, I mean, like, when they were, like, little bitty kids. Right.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Because them boys, I don't think, I don't feel like
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: they think things through. No. And I just don't know
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: if that's how I want to feel about my quarterback. Right.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: The last thing those two should be doing before a
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: game is butting helmets together.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you the last thing those two should
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: be doing. Hanging out with each other. Wow. That's the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: big one. If you got one of them, I guess
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: it's fine. You can't have them both.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Taylor, put it on the poll. That's who got $ 7.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: 98.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Should Jackson Dart and Cam Scataboo be hanging out with
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: one another? Yeah, I think you're right about that. It
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: is so funny. By the way, I'm guessing you would
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: take Jackson Dart over some other big names. Dart or Stafford? Hey,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, though.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I worry about the Rams.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: So do I. Yes.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I feel like that stupid Australia game could mess up
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: your whole season. Yeah.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: It's a tough trip.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're coming back, and Miles Garrett needs knee surgery. Yep.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: You couldn't possibly bet on either of those teams that
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: played in that game this week, can you? No.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: No.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Like, coming off that super long flight, you couldn't possibly
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: No.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Stafford was already, like, open for some level of regression. Like,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: he's just not going to be as good as he
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: was last year. That's not how things typically tend to go. Like.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: My buddy Plasky wrote a column about them going undefeated,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: and people had them being the best team in the NFC.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: What if everything swung on the NFL being greedy and
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: making them go play that game over there in Australia?
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Bomani, you tend not to get too excited, too amped
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: up for games, but you're a huge college football fan,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and I am wondering where you're at in terms of
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Mississippi and LSU. Is this something– Is this something you're
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: going to be fired up for? You're excited for this game, right?
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking forward to this. There's something to be
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: said about the energy that comes from a place where 60,000,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: 70,000 people have one thing in common, and that's that
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: they despise a person worthy of of being despised. Right? Like,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: when it's a bunch of people and they hate somebody,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: but ain't nothing wrong with that person, that feels uncomfortable, right?
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: This right here feels like life. Like, it feels like
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: the reasons that we get up in the morning, what
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: it's supposed to be. Like, this is, it is going
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: to be cracking in there. The problem, the problem, the
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: problem is we all got rules in our lives.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I can't think of who Ole Miss would have to
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: play against for me to root for them. I went
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: down there. I interviewed Trinidad Chambliss. I talked to his
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: whole family. I like them a lot. I talked to
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: his previous college coach. Those are all great people. So
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I will not root against him. But ain't no way
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: in H-E double hockey sticks that you're going to find
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: me out here rooting for Ole Miss. I don't know
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: who they would have to play against. I'm off the
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: top of my head. I just can't. Think of it
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: like no Americans. Like if they was playing against apartheid, yeah, okay,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: got you. You can do that.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: That's it, huh? That's where you took it.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: That's about it.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Because if there was ever a spot where you would
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: root for Ole Miss, it would be this weekend, right? Yeah, look,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: In this day and time, people get mad at stuff.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: But as I got a line, if I root, if blank,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: if this team here played against blank, I'd root for
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: a 0-0 tie. You could put a lot of things
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: in that blank, and I'd let it go.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Stu, just a quick note. Ole Miss didn't ban Confederate
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: flags in 1997. They banned sticks. To try to get
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: people to stop bringing.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Them into the game. Yeah, but to be fair to
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Ole Miss, Ole Miss wanted to ban the flags, but
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: the people just weren't going for it. And so they
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: had to run an end around on them. And Taylor,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: who was the head coach at Ole Miss when they
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: did this?
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know. He's looking it up.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Wow, Tommy Tuberville. I should have been able to guess
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: it was Tommy Tuberville.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: We should have seen it coming.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Whatever it takes to win these games, as long as
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: it's not throwing the ball. That was Tommy Tuberville.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: When you think back, how did we not see his future? Tuberville.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's a U guy. That's the other thing.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: He's a U guy. Yep.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: What'd you make of Arch Manning apologizing over his reaction
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: to the Holly Rowe AI video?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: You know what? Here's my thing. He should have apologized.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: What he said was wrong. What he said was crazy.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: And it's the kind of thing that you say when
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: you're 21, right? Like I can't, I think there's room
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: to absolutely acknowledge that it was wrong and to say
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: why it was wrong and to say how wrong it
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: was with also understanding that At 21, I might have
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: been dumb enough to think that it was funny enough
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: to laugh at in front of people, too. This is
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: how we learn. Yes. Right. Yes.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Except we're not the Texas quarterback, nor are we Manning's,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: No, no. But I mean, but anywhere we went, I
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: think all of us had mistakes that we made as
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: men of that age from just being. kind of being
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: young and stupid and then had to be like, hey,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: we can't joke like that no more.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Especially in a room full of grown men who are
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: also laughing about it, that are asking about it.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Right, this is what I'm saying. Yeah, like it was–
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: he made a mistake. Guess what? He's at that age
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: where they do those kinds of things. People make mistakes
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: at that age. You chastise them. Again, I think chastising
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: him was perfectly appropriate. And then we move on. That's
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: not something I would take as a reflection of who
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: he is, other than a reflection of him being a
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: stupid 21-year-old.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Do you think Dabo will be— two questions on the coaching front.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Do you think Norvell returns to Florida State? Do you
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: think Dabo returns to Clemson?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I think Norvell is cooked. I don't think there's any
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: way he can come back, but they sure keep finding
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: ways to do that now, don't they? Dabo, the issue
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: is the money. I don't see any way that school
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: could come up with the money that it would cost
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: to get him out of there. But it's over. Each
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: of them needs to part ways. The problem is Dabo
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: is young enough and still wants to coach. But to
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: coach the way that he wants to coach, he's going
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: to need to drop down a whole lot of levels
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: to do this the way that he wants to do it.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: But I actually have a great deal of respect for
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: what he wants to do. The way that he wants
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: to do this to invest in guys and keep them
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: and build that sort of thing. These are all the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: things that people say. All the things that people say
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: they care about in college football. And every single one
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: of those people who say they love that are telling
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Dabo how he needs to do it different.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Like there's a measure of hypocrisy there. But if that's
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: how he wants to do it, then he needs to
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: maybe go down to high school or perhaps the 1AA
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: level or at some mid-major, like group of five, that's
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: at the top level of their conference. And then he
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: can do it like that. But he can't do it
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: the way that Clemson wants to do it. It's not possible.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: There's no path back for Dabo if he loses to
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Belichick this weekend. No, I mean, there's no path back, period.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Because the issue is not the Belichick part. The issue
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: is 2016 and 2018.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Right. That's his problem.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: You showed them what was possible. Now, I will say this.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Because they stomped Carolina last year, right? It wasn't like
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: 30 to nothing or something at one point. Everyone did. Yeah,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: it was bad. Yeah. I can't imagine what it's like
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: for Bill Belichick to live in a world where he
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: loses games to guys like Dabo Swinney. I just can't
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: think of how humbling that has to be.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Didn't he lose to Sonny Dykes once?
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, but all of them, man, like every single
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: one of them. And look, man, it's on the board
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: that Carolina can be pretty good this year. Yes.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: It's on the board. What are your thoughts on Dan
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Lanning as a coach? Because for me, he's the most
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: overrated coach in America. He really is.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Well, I think the question comes down to, Just how
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: good of a job do you think Oregon is? Because
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: on their side, obviously, is they can throw a lot
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: of money around. Working against them is geography. But historically,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: we've seen that Oregon can be very good. Washington can
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: be very good. You can do it over there, but
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: it's not as easy to do in some other places.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I think Lanning may be one of those cases where
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: what makes him seem overrated is that he's so good
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: that he made that team something where you could think
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: that he's overrated.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Yes. Like, like he, he
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: gets them to places that Oregon is not promised to go.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: And even if you say, yeah, they've had other coaches
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: who have done it. Not all of them have. Right.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Like they're not, they can't all do that in the
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: way he wants to play football, which is a very
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: sec lineup and beat them up sort of game. It's
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: kind of hard to do it, Oregon. And I don't
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: think they're always equipped to do that. Like it looked
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: like they couldn't even get that done. against Oklahoma State.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: But I think what's happening to them this year is
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: something that will probably happen to all the programs at
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: some point in a way that didn't happen in the past,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: which is sometimes you just get a bad mix. Like
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: you put that team back together. Like we saw that
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: with Calipari at Kentucky. Like sometimes you're putting these teams
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: together one year at a time. Sometimes you ain't got
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the right mix. And maybe they, I mean, this is
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: two straight games. Like the Boise State game, that game
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have been that close if they're as good as
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: people said they were. And they certainly shouldn't have lost
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: to Oklahoma State.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about you as Ted Cruz was strolling
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: on to the set of College Game Day. I was
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: thinking about the person I would want to be in
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: a room with as that was happening, and that person
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: was you. What were your thoughts as that was going down?
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: So here's the question. Did they book Ted Cruz, or
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: did Ted Cruz book himself?
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Because the thing that I find most incredible about Ted
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Cruz is is that he is roundly disliked even by
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: people on his side, yet has continued to win popularity
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: contests in order to get to where he is. He
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: won enough popularity contests to get to where he is.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I don't really understand it. Look, as somebody who has
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: no shortage of people in this world who dislike him,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I am amazed at Ted Cruz's ability to just get
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: throatily booed And just keep it trucking because it happens
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: all the time. This is just how he expects people
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: to receive him.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: But, Monty, on the topic of people not liking other people,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Deshaun Watson in Cleveland, are you surprised at how 10
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: toes down Cleveland has been backing him when he's The
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: results on the field, it's not like he's Josh Allen
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: out there. He's one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Well, hold on. Are the fans backing him? I mean,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: it seems like the coach is backing him. The team
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: is backing him.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: The team is backing him. The fans are certainly not
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: backing him. All right, so let me ask you guys
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: a question, and whoever wants to answer is welcome to
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: do it. What's the most you would be willing to
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: pay for something and then not use it? given that
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: the alternative to not using it is probably going to
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: have the same end result as using it. Like just
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: to be able to tell yourself, yes, I'm not going
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: to use this $ 40 million thing or however much it
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: is that they are paying nasty D. Are you just
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: not going to do it? Like I get it with Haslam.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: We're going to try our, I can't give up. It doesn't,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: I gain nothing by giving up on this, and the
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: other guy isn't good. Okay? The other guy isn't good either.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: The problem on one hand is the fans hate this,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: and you're kind of spitting in the face of the fans, right?
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: These same fans who, by the way, talk themselves into
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: this shit on the front end, let us not forget.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: So the argument is don't do this because the fans
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: don't like it. If that were the case, you wouldn't
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: even open the stadium. You wouldn't play no games if
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: the fans not liking it was how you made decisions.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: They don't like anything you do. You stink. You just
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: traded the best player. You think the fans like that?
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: No.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Did you just make up that nickname, Nasty D? I mean,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: was that just off?
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I was thinking about it the other day. Yeah.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: And I was like, I thought about calling him D Nasty,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: but I feel like that's what you say when somebody's good. Right? Like, yo, man,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: like if your game is cold, boy, D Nasty was
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: killing them. But Nasty D, Nasty D, that conveys more
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: of what I'm going for here.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, it does. It's amazing.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Just flipping that thing around changes everything. Now, doesn't it?
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Yes. So good. The right time with Bomani Jones, wherever
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: you get your podcast. Last thing on the way out here.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm alone here, Bomani. Are you afraid
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: of AI? I feel like the computers are about to
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: kill us, and I feel like I'm alone.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: No, no, you're not alone.
• 18:04

  Speaker 1: Wow. Yes, I've never been there.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Just letting you know. Come on over here. We're terrified.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I read a book. Somebody came in my comments trying
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: to challenge this book, but I read it, and it
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: was compelling, and it was called If Anyone Builds It,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Everyone Will Die. wow and it's just about the idea
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: that if the ai reaches the point of superhuman intelligence
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: it's going to do us in yes and by the
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: way lots of simulations that people have done have made
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: it clear that that's what it's going to be for
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: some shit that we don't really need they only want
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: it to like make it so that they don't have
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: to give you a job i don't i mean we're
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: like i look i'm not gonna pretend like there are
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: no uses for it it is helpful in a lot
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: of ways yes but We got to call a 20
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: on this. You understand what I'm saying?
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I would say a full time out, yes. Not a 20.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Bad news. Take your time.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: You're right. The complete opposite of Field of Dreams.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: No, no. This is bad news, man. Thank you. You're
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: right there. Are you doing AI ads, though?
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I've done a couple.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I'm going to... They'd have to talk me into it. Like,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: explain to me what your AI is for.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right. I haven't done them. I'm not saying I
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: wouldn't do them. I'm not saying I would endorse the
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: people who are going to murder me. I would. But
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I'm scared.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like, tell me more about your AI.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: I just love the idea that Bomani thinks that somebody's
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: going to be like, oh, this is the AI that's
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: going to kill us.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: You still good? What's the check? What's the check? I
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: know what to listen for. Like, I'm asking, like, yeah,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: I know what to....
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Listen, he can't come back to haunt you. We'll all
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: be dead. I mean, that's it.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I haven't done an AI ad in a while, though.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: I think the last AI ad I did was like,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: it's something that I read resumes or something like that.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I don't feel like that's going to kill us.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: No, you're fine.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: I think that'll be okay.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's okay. The Right Time with Bomani Jones, wherever
