Episode 206 - Fun With Chat GPT · My Third Place Pod

• 0:00
  So I've been taught, I've been doing chat GBC lately, right?
• 0:07
  And you know how I used to like put type all my episodes and I
• 0:15
  still have them like a few past episodes up to 199 to 200 I
• 0:19
  guess. So I put it on there and it's
• 0:25
  like learning the way I talk. It's learning everything about
• 0:28
  me, so I put in episode 197. ChatGPT comes back with your
• 0:36
  Episode 197 is packed with energy and some fun Survivor
• 0:40
  Series predictions and dream teams.
• 0:41
  I love the humor in the opening comparing family gatherings and
• 0:44
  wrestling moves to wrestling moves.
• 0:47
  Why did we talk about that? That's really relatable.
• 0:51
  He also did a great job of weaving in WE history rivalries
• 0:54
  and current storylines, making it engaging for both casual and
• 0:57
  hardcore fans. I know she gave a solid shout
• 1:00
  out to the M3P community, which adds a personal touch.
• 1:04
  That list of supporters and present it shows how dedicated
• 1:07
  your audience is. It might be fun in future
• 1:09
  episodes to add some quick fire wrestling trivia or fan
• 1:12
  questions to interact with them even more.
• 1:15
  And then as Lee one help creating a social media post to
• 1:18
  promote this episode and maybe drafting a follow up episode
• 1:20
  outline with listener questions or fantasy matchups.
• 1:24
  I'm like, ChatGPT knows me, so I'm like trying to make it like
• 1:30
  write me an episode to see what it does.
• 1:33
  And like if it does, I'll do it on the podcast and tell you
• 1:37
  like, hey, ChatGPT told me to tell you this.
• 1:41
  Hi Eva, I'm ChatGPT. It's nice to meet you.
• 1:44
  Tell me about why you're here. I'll use this information to
• 1:46
  just ideas you might find useful.
• 1:49
  I'm here because I ran out of ideas to talk about my podcast
• 1:52
  on. I want to do something new and
• 1:53
  just talk about video games, comic books and my struggle with
• 1:56
  type 2 diabetes. So examples below help write a
• 2:01
  podcast grip. Search for latest video game
• 2:03
  releases, create a superhero versus monsters.
• 2:07
  ChatGPT says that's awesome. I can help you brainstorm fresh
• 2:11
  topics, podcast topics, creating aging episode landlines, or even
• 2:15
  suggest ways to blend video games comic books on your
• 2:17
  personal journey with type 2 diabetes and compelling content.
• 2:20
  They have a specific format of style for your podcast, like
• 2:22
  interviews, casual chats, or storytelling.
• 2:25
  My niche is casual chat, storytelling and personalized
• 2:28
  stories. It says.
• 2:31
  Got it. That sounds like a great vibe
• 2:32
  for connecting with your audience.
• 2:34
  How about mixing in some personalized stories with your
• 2:36
  gaming and comic book interest, for example?
• 2:40
  Hey Keely, Gaming and Diabetes. Share how managing type 2
• 2:46
  diabetes affect your gaming routine, EG dealing with fatigue
• 2:49
  or eye strain during long sessions.
• 2:54
  I'm getting the eye strain, not fatigue because like I don't get
• 3:02
  tired. I don't get tired.
• 3:03
  I was just like, so I get frustrated, but I don't get
• 3:06
  tired. Eye strain.
• 3:07
  It's more like I'm playing and then like I'm so fucking focused
• 3:12
  into it and I'm just like, you know, oh shit, my eyes are
• 3:15
  hurting. And I start like I see
• 3:17
  teardrops. And I was like, oh damn, OK,
• 3:20
  it's time to like put take a break from it.
• 3:24
  Comic book characters in real life struggles Use storytelling
• 3:27
  to compare your experience with type 2 diabetes to a superhero's
• 3:30
  dream, like tackling it with the resilience of Daredevil or the
• 3:35
  discipline of Batman. What?
• 3:42
  OK? Interactive stories invite
• 3:45
  listeners to share their own gaming or comic book related
• 3:47
  struggles and weave them into a personalized narrative.
• 3:53
  I love that one. Do you have a nice sized monitor
• 3:56
  that you play on? I do, but I'm all the way back.
• 4:01
  Here I'm all the way back here. Maybe I should like go getting
• 4:08
  closer or something. We like help outlining an
• 4:13
  episode are coming over to create a concept so I sent it
• 4:18
  episode 199. I don't know what it was about,
• 4:22
  I forgot what it was about. I checked out your latest
• 4:25
  podcast episode and I love how you created a third place for
• 4:29
  your community. It has such a welcoming vibe.
• 4:31
  I also noticed you detailed your detailed breakdown of a certain
• 4:35
  TV show and the fun interactive part was less than their
• 4:38
  questions. If you're aiming to shift
• 4:41
  towards more video games complex personal stories, you should try
• 4:45
  gaming and storytelling. Mashups share a personal
• 4:48
  diabetes struggle by trying it, tying it to a video game quest
• 4:52
  or character arc. For example, you could describe
• 4:55
  magic blood sugar levels like resource management in Resident
• 4:59
  Evil. I've never played that.
• 5:01
  I know what it. Is, but I've never played it.
• 5:04
  Combo Connection. Do a deep dive into combo
• 5:06
  characters with chronic conditions like Oracle.
• 5:09
  Barbara Gordon. She's in a wheelchair.
• 5:12
  She got shot by a Joker, so she's Detective Gordon's
• 5:17
  daughter. She's Overwatch.
• 5:20
  She's, you know, Watchtower. She's like the secretary of
• 5:23
  Batman and everything. Or Dare Devil who's blind and
• 5:28
  how their experiences resonate with you.
• 5:30
  They don't give up community involvement.
• 5:36
  Ask your listeners how gaming or comics have helped them cope
• 5:39
  with personal struggles and share their stories alongside
• 5:42
  yours. Couldn't access episode 200.
• 5:50
  I don't know what. All right, be right back episode
• 5:53
  198. I checked out episode 198 and I
• 5:56
  love the third place concept you created.
• 5:57
  It gives your podcast such a welcoming community driven by
• 6:00
  driven vibe. Plus your detail scene
• 6:02
  breakdowns of a certain TV show in the mix of pop culture,
• 6:04
  trivia, listener shadows, and casual chats make it feel like a
• 6:07
  hangout with friends. Is it a hangout with friends?
• 6:13
  If you're moving towards video games, complex and personalized
• 6:15
  stories, you could add level up segments.
• 6:18
  Share your personal struggles with diabetes using gaming
• 6:21
  metaphors like levelling up your health or battling a boss fight
• 6:24
  during a tough week. I love that I might use that.
• 6:29
  Comic book parallels. Compare your journey with comic
• 6:31
  characters facing adversity, like Tony Stark managing his art
• 6:35
  reactor, a metaphor for chronic conditions.
• 6:39
  Listener story time. Invite your community to share
• 6:41
  their own experiences, gaming wins, comic book inspirations or
• 6:43
  health challenges and weave them into personalized narratives.
• 6:49
  And then would you help? Would you like help outlining
• 6:51
  your 200 episode of making a blend up for these new themes?
• 7:02
  I'm here because I ran out of ideas and all this stuff
• 7:04
  wrestling in pop culture. Here are some episodes, yes,
• 7:07
  blending your new interest, boss battles and blood sugar.
• 7:10
  Share your experiences with diabetes through gaming
• 7:12
  metaphors, like comparing tough weeks to find the bosses.
• 7:15
  Kind of a comebacks breakdown at iconic redemption arcs like
• 7:18
  Bucky Barnes or Jason Todd and relate them to personal
• 7:20
  struggles or real life comebacks.
• 7:23
  Wrestling's best Heel turns Rank and discuss the most shocking,
• 7:27
  impactful heel turns, comparing them to surprising pop culture
• 7:30
  plot twist, pop culture throwback do deep dive and
• 7:35
  nostalgic shows, games or movies with a mix of trivia and
• 7:38
  personal stories. Yes to all that I love you ideas

  Evo. Hey everyone, welcome back to my
• 8:43
  Third Place podcast, a little spot on the Internet where we
• 8:45
  kick back, geek out and keep it real.
• 9:01
  It's fucking crazy how this shit knows me.
• 9:07
  I'm Evo, your host, and today we're diving.
• 9:09
  Into a mash up of my favorite things, video games, comic
• 9:12
  books, is a bit of real talk about my struggle with type 2
• 9:14
  diabetes. It's in your head.

  You know I love storytelling and today's no different.
• 9:20
  So grab a drink, get comfy and it's level up together.
• 9:25
  I love that shit. I'm going to start using it
• 9:29
  beside MY1 gaming as my escape and my ally.
• 9:32
  What is what? No fucking weight.
• 9:38
  Didn't we talk about this? Didn't.
• 9:42
  I don't? I don't.
• 9:44
  I use gaming to fight evil. You ever have those days where
• 9:55
  the real world just feels like a boss fight?
• 9:57
  For me, dealing with type 2 diabetes, something like being
• 9:59
  stuck in Dark Souls, Every step feels heavy and every wrong move
• 10:03
  has consequences. But video games, they've been my
• 10:06
  power up. When I was first diagnosed I was
• 10:08
  overwhelmed. My blood sugar levels felt like
• 10:12
  a stat I couldn't control, but gaming became my coping
• 10:15
  mechanism. I'm just fucking scared.
• 10:21
  For my life right now, I'll be honest.
• 10:24
  Some days I just wanted to disappear in the Skyrim I lose
• 10:26
  myself inside quest, no blood sugar spikes, no carb counting,
• 10:30
  just me, a sword, and the dragon that clearly underestimated my
• 10:33
  dual wielding skills. But what I had to take a spec
• 10:39
  was how? Games helped me fight back
• 10:41
  tracking my diabetes numbers. Started feeling like that's stat
• 10:44
  management on RPGs. I set small goals lowering my
• 10:47
  A1C with my next quest hitting it.
• 10:50
  That was my achievement. Unlocked moment insert subtle
• 10:55
  sound effect of a quest. Completion I need to look for
• 11:01
  sound. Effects, Comic segment 2 Comic
• 11:04
  book characters and chronic battles.
• 11:08
  Now you know I can't talk about cover coming obstacles without
• 11:11
  bringing up comic comic books, because if there's one thing
• 11:14
  comics teach us, it's that struggles make heroes.
• 11:20
  Take dare Double Matt Murdock is blind, but he turns a disability
• 11:24
  into a strength or Oracle, AKA Barbara Gordon, who after being
• 11:28
  paralyzed becomes the ultimate strategist.
• 11:31
  You see, diabetes makes me feel like I'm in a constant fight
• 11:35
  with my own body. But those characters, they
• 11:38
  remind me that weakness can become superpowers.
• 11:45
  I mean, pictures of me as a comic character.
• 11:47
  My power, what my power? Blood sugar signs I can detect
• 11:52
  hidden carbs and foods with a glance.
• 11:54
  My nemesis Dr. Glucose, who tries to spike my blood sugar
• 11:58
  with sneaky sugary attacks and by a sidekick.
• 12:02
  Definitely insulin, man. Coming in clutch with the late
• 12:08
  game save. What up?
• 12:12
  Shenron what's up brother? OK, OK, I might be getting
• 12:15
  carried away, but seriously, comics inspire.
• 12:18
  They make you believe you can fight even when the odds are
• 12:21
  stacked against you. Ye, what's up dear?
• 12:26
  Have you ever used ChatGPT? Holy oh what's?
• 12:47
  Going on brother. This is awesome.
• 12:50
  This is great. I love this.
• 12:52
  I'm going to use it for now on next time I have like Oh damn.
• 13:05
  OK, we're ready to go. This is going to be insulin man,
• 13:13
  Huh. Never use ChatGPT but see many
• 13:15
  users for it, right? Segment 2, was that it?
• 13:22
  Segment 3, the crossover when gaming, comics and life collide.
• 13:26
  Evil. Here's the thing, my diabetes
• 13:29
  journey doesn't exist in the bubble.
• 13:30
  It's inner woman with my love for gaming and comics.
• 13:35
  I'm scared man. I'm scared.
• 13:36
  How fucking how This is so on brand with me.
• 13:42
  I've had days where I felt too drained to pick up a controller,
• 13:45
  but then I watched Wolverine fight through pain or see Gerald
• 13:48
  Arrivia take a potion and push through the Wild Hunt.
• 13:50
  And I think I don't. I never.
• 13:53
  If looking to. Fight with Adam, mansion
• 13:55
  poisoning. I could push through this sugar
• 13:57
  crash. And you know what?
• 14:00
  It works. Pop culture isn't just escapism,
• 14:04
  it's motivation. It reminds me that every hell,
• 14:06
  every hell set back is just a cutscene before the big boss
• 14:10
  fight. Alia's engagement.
• 14:12
  Your story. Now I want to hear from you.

• 14:18
  challenges? Do you have a fictional

  Video games conflicts in my own personal final boss fight with
• 18:58
  type 2 diabetes. But don't worry, this isn't some

  I'm Evo, you're sugar checking button mashing, pop culture
• 19:46
  loving host. And today we're going on the
• 19:50
  wild crossover adventure that kind of would make Marvel
• 19:54
  Studios drool. I would know.
• 19:57
  Colt 45. Segment One gaming as my
• 20:03
  sidekick and sometimes my nemesis.
• 20:07
  All right, pictures this. It's 2:00 AM.
• 20:10
  I'm knee deep in a 30 minute boss fight in Alden ring, health
• 20:14
  bar on fumes, hands shaking from adrenaline.
• 20:16
  My only hope is chugging a health potion and praying my
• 20:19
  dodge roll timing is on point. You've been there, right?
• 20:24
  Colt 45 at a bee rented. Now replace the boss fight with
• 20:29
  my. Pancreas.
• 20:31
  Fuck you. I need to read this before I say
• 20:37
  anything. Now replace the boss fight with
• 20:40
  my pancreas and the health potion with a shot of insulin.
• 20:45
  That's diabetes. A never ending grime with.
• 20:48
  No cheat codes, chuckles. But here's the thing.
• 20:58
  Video games became my unexpected.
• 21:00
  Sidekick through all this. When I was first diagnosed I was
• 21:03
  overwhelmed my blood sugar. Levels were like the.
• 21:07
  AI in Mario Kart, wildly unpredictable and always
• 21:11
  screwing me over. Right before the finish line.
• 21:21
  All the references gaming though.
• 21:23
  It gave me control. Tracking my blood sugar.
• 21:26
  Became stat management, like assigning skill points in an
• 21:30
  RPGI. Started seeing my A1C levels at
• 21:33
  XP bars, slowly leveling up my health bar one point at a time.
• 21:37
  And you know what you want to know What?
• 21:40
  Getting my blood sugar in check That felt more satisfying than a
• 21:44
  Call of Duty nuke streak. Insert sound effect level up
• 21:50
  chime. That's right.
• 21:53
  Achievement of lock didn't pass out the grocery store today.
• 21:56
  You could pass out. Oh my.
• 22:01
  God I love this segment 2. Comic books and chronic
• 22:06
  conditions. Heroes with flaws.
• 22:08
  This is all my episode right here.
• 22:09
  We're doing an episode. This is the episode.
• 22:14
  Yes, you can, Evo. Now, if you know me, you know I
• 22:18
  love comic books. And let me tell you, there's
• 22:20
  something about superheroes with flaws that hits differently when
• 22:23
  you're facing your own battles. Take Daredevil.
• 22:27
  Matt Murdock is blind, but that doesn't stop him from Roundhouse
• 22:30
  kicking bad guys in the teeth. Again with these all.
• 22:34
  With these two. Or how about Oracle?
• 22:37
  After the Joker paralyzes Barbara Gordon?
• 22:39
  She doesn't hang up the Cape. Nope, she becomes the brains
• 22:42
  behind the bad family, proving that strength isn't just
• 22:44
  physical. I'm sorry.
• 22:50
  And you know what? When I'm having one of those I
• 22:52
  feel like crap diabetes days, I think of those characters
• 22:55
  because if Matt Murdock can fight crime without sight in the
• 22:58
  hallways. I can get through a sugar.
• 23:01
  Crash without becoming a total gremlin.
• 23:09
  No hydrate. OK, thank you.
• 23:11
  Sorry, I apologize. I don't have one.
• 23:17
  OK, OK. All right.
• 23:29
  All right, all right. OK, so yeah, I've become a
• 23:39
  gremlin once. That was before I found out I
• 23:41
  had diabetes and that was the whole week of me going to
• 23:45
  actually scratch that. I definitely.
• 23:47
  Become a gremlin I definitely became a gremlin You ever seen
• 23:52
  someone with low blood sugar try to open a.
• 23:54
  Granola part. It's like.
• 23:55
  Watching Hulk. Smash.

  It is like fucking. Can you fucking open this shit?
• 24:09
  Can you open this shit? I can't open it.
• 24:11
  God damn it wrong. I love it.
• 24:15
  Oh shit. But yeah.
• 24:18
  You become a gremlin. The segment.
• 24:20
  Three, the boss fight when gaming comic and diabetes
• 24:23
  collide. You know what's wild?
• 24:25
  There are days when my real life diabetes battle in my fictional
• 24:28
  world I love seem to collide. One time I was playing Skyrim.
• 24:32
  No I wasn't. I don't even play that game and
• 24:34
  my blood sugar tanked out of nowhere.
• 24:37
  Damn, I'm sitting there sweaty, palmed arms sweaty.
• 24:44
  Meek, weak arms are heavy bobbing up my sweater already.
• 24:52
  That's what we trying to pause the game and grab a juice.
• 24:54
  Box you want to know how it felt like my health bar was flashing
• 24:58
  red and my screen was getting that you're about to dive in yet
• 25:01
  effect I'm basically in real life Gerald Arrivia.
• 25:06
  I never played that game. Opening the snack.
• 25:09
  Hooking out over opening a snack.
• 25:11
  I'm hulking out, except instead of guzzling.
• 25:15
  Potions, I'm chugging Apple, you'd like us and I Lister.
• 25:18
  Of life. But here's the thing, games and
• 25:21
  comics keep me going. There have been days where I
• 25:25
  felt too soft to get out of bed. Then I food up Spider Man, Miles
• 25:28
  Morales and watching Miles swing through Harlem getting back up.
• 25:33
  No matter how many times he's knocked down, it hits different
• 25:38
  new rivals. Because if miles can take.
• 25:41
  On the Prowler, I can take on my morning blood sugar check.

  we're taking a bat. Shit crazy deep.
• 29:07
  Dive into my life with type 2 diabetes but with A twist.
• 29:11
  Imagine it as a wrestling match where my pancreas is a cocky
• 29:15
  heel that keeps kicking out at 2:00.
• 29:20
  Or a rogue like video games. Where no matter how many times I
• 29:23
  die, I respond frustrated but slightly wiser.
• 29:27
  That's never me. And naturally it's complicated.
• 29:30
  Because you know, I'm fighting this battle with the resilience
• 29:33
  of moon night on a bad day. So grab a drink, summon your
• 29:38
  inner. Stone Cold Steve, Austin and
• 29:40
  Let's Dump a Mud Hole and this episode.
• 29:44
  What the hell Segment One diabetes A road like RPG from
• 29:49
  hell. All right, so living with type 2
• 29:52
  diabetes is basically like being stuck in blood borne on
• 29:55
  nightmare mode, except the enemies are carved and they
• 29:58
  respond constantly. They do they do, and there's no
• 30:03
  goddamn Lantern to save your progress.
• 30:05
  Language chat. Damn, without his first
• 30:09
  diagnosed I felt like I had a just aggroed an entire dungeon
• 30:13
  of bosses at once. My blood sugar was the dark soul
• 30:16
  Dragons. I swore with this because no
• 30:18
  matter how much I fought, they kept wrecking my shit.
• 30:22
  Chuckles, but video games? They became my power ups,
• 30:28
  tracking my sugar levels, that was my stat management screen,
• 30:31
  adjusting my insulin, that was me re specing my character build
• 30:37
  and hitting my A1C goal that was 100% completing the game.
• 30:43
  I even started thinking of my doctor business.
• 30:45
  Like leveling up doctor. Your A1C dropped by five points
• 30:49
  .5 points. Me, Sweet new skill on lock,
• 30:52
  slightly less likely to die in my sleep.
• 31:00
  Every day is a struggle. Wow.
• 31:03
  Oh man segment. Two combo comebacks.
• 31:10
  Heroes with busted health bars. You know who inspires me?
• 31:15
  Comic characters with broken stat sheets again, take their
• 31:19
  level. He's dudes blind, but still
• 31:21
  fights ninjas on rooftops like his casual cardio or Deadpool.
• 31:25
  The guy's kindly rotting from the inside out, but you wouldn't
• 31:28
  know it between the one liners and Taco breaks.
• 31:31
  And me, I'm evil pool Fucking hell.
• 31:37
  Constantly battling my robe pancreas, making terrible puns
• 31:41
  to cope and occasionally rage quitting my glucose monitor like
• 31:44
  it's laggy multiplayer lobby. Ray, you're quitting.
• 31:49
  This fucking shit. Sucks rage quitting my glucose
• 31:57
  monitor. I've done this.
• 32:01
  That's the fucking problem. I've done this before where I
• 32:04
  just. Look at my monitor and like,
• 32:06
  that's fucking fake. No, that can't be.
• 32:08
  Fuck you. Oh.
• 32:12
  You ever tried pricking your finger at 2:00 AM?
• 32:14
  I'll leave a miss and stab yourself.
• 32:16
  In the nail. Yeah, that's my.
• 32:19
  First story. Yes.
• 32:21
  Yes. Evil Pool.
• 32:24
  Yes, evil pool, apparently. Evil Pool I'm I'm Dead Segment
• 32:31
  3. Wrestling with Blood.
• 32:32
  Sugar, the ultimate heel turn. OK, now let me put in a
• 32:36
  wrestling term because why not? Diabetes is a classic heel
• 32:40
  faction that always cheats to win my blood sugar.
• 32:44
  That's the Roman. Reigns of my Body.
• 32:47
  Commonly dominating the main event, my pancreas.
• 32:50
  Can we stop talking about my pancreas?
• 32:52
  Is Shawn Michaels retired but still showing up to screw me
• 32:55
  over during? Big moments.
• 33:00
  And my glucose monitor, that's the referee always
• 33:03
  malfunctioning at the worst possible time.
• 33:05
  I love this one right here. I once ate a bananas thinking it
• 33:10
  was a safe snack. Yeah.
• 33:13
  Not the nail 5 minutes later. My blood sugar spiked so hard
• 33:17
  you think I just took a super kick from the Young Bucks.
• 33:19
  Wow. I'm talking crowd gas.
• 33:22
  Level of betrayal Fucking hell segment for Pop.
• 33:33
  Culture, last lines when fiction keeps you going.
• 33:37
  Here's the thing, though. Sometimes pop culture is the
• 33:39
  only thing keeping me going from tapping out.
• 33:42
  You ever had a bad day where you feel so beat down you just want
• 33:44
  to hit pause on reality? Yeah, same.
• 33:49
  On those days, I turn to complicated heroes because,
• 33:52
  let's be honest, there's nothing more relatable than a grumpy
• 33:54
  vigilante on his third failed redemption arc.
• 34:01
  Video games. We can.
• 34:02
  You can. Race quit real reality and
• 34:04
  respond in Hyrule or Los Santos. Wow Oh my God GTA San Andreas
• 34:16
  reference before our GTA 6. I love it and sometimes I watch
• 34:24
  wrestling promos just to psych myself up.
• 34:26
  Before doctors visited. You haven't truly lived until
• 34:28
  you walked into an endocrinologist office
• 34:30
  pretending you're the Undertaker.
• 34:32
  They died and menacing blood sugar rest in peace his.
• 34:41
  Engagement. Your boss fights.
• 34:43
  Stories Now I want to tag you guys in.
• 34:46

• 34:48

  phrase you used to hike yourself up?
