Full Chopsocky Mode · Armstrong & Getty One More Thing

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You're blowing my mind, Uber driver. It's one more thing.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty. One more thing.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Before we get to that, so I mentioned a video
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: on the radio show right away. I'd seen this video.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: It's a store of some sort. A little robot dude
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: comes out to help somebody. He's a droid.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Short.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Short. And for whatever reason, the customer at the store
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: gives the droid a little shove in the chest.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Well, he extends his hand to shake hands with the robot.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, no.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: And the robot leaves him hanging.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: No, after that, he shoved him.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Well, that's what I'm saying.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: But that's why he shoved him, you think? I didn't
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: pick up on that.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: That's the way I read it. Okay. Why he shoved
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: him is kind of incidental to the story, but don't
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: leave someone hanging like that. It's rude.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Wow, okay, so Joe's on the side of the robot. Somebody,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: you go to shake their hand, you don't shake it.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: That robot has the ability to just pull your head off.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, I see.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: The full martial arts ass kicker. That's what I do.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: So anyway, Joe's totally right, by the way. He goes,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: he extends his hand for a handshake.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: The hand of friendship.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I really believe we're burying the lead here.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: So....
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: The guy gives the droid a little shove and the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: droid goes into Bruce Lee Kung Fu mode for some
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: reason and starts whirling its hands around and it's kicking
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: its leg in the air. And a bunch of other
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: employees run in to try to tackle the thing. And
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't know if it was AI or if it
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: was real. Katie did a little research and thinks it's real.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: No, it is real. I plugged it into like three different,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I plugged it into Claude chat, GPT and grok. And
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: they all say it's legitimate.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: But, Well, I've known plenty of people that if you, dudes,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: if you gave them a little shove, they'd be ready
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to go full on fight. But I think most people
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: would be like, hey, what's that all about? As opposed to,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going to give you my Bruce Lee kick in
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the face. So I feel like the droid overreacted. What
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: is going on here?
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: What I love is that it wasn't an immediate reaction.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: The droid drops into this like, what the? Stance.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Yes. Exactly.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: To let everybody know they're about to get their ass kicked.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Goes into full chop-socky mode.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: All right, who's ready for a robot ass-kicking, huh?
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: And he kicked so hard his leg got stuck on
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the counter.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: The great radio personality Jim Rome used to talk about
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: likes to fight guy. He may still, for all I know.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Evidently likes to fight guy programmed this robot because this
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: robot was ready to go.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Little shab-boom, let's get it on.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Ha-cha, ha-cha, hi-ya!
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: It's like a bad bar fight, though, because there's like
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: two people trying to hold the robot back, and it's like, no,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: let me at him.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: You're right. The robot was like, let me at him. Like,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: he couldn't let go of his grudge. You're a robot.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: The guy shoved him out of nowhere. First, he snubbed
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: him with the handshake. Then he gave him a shove.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: He deserves an ass kicking.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Don't it?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: That's really interesting.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: This video is on loop on my computer. It's just
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: funnier every time you watch. It really is funny.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Did the robot afterwards say, I lost my cool. I'm sorry.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Anger management has always been a problem.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: This particular poster said it wasn't a cute glitch or
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: a stumble. The staff literally had to grab the robot
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: and drag it down while it kept trying to fight.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: So what in.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Its programming went into at any cost? You must fight
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: this guy and win.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: It's drag down time.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Snatch the pebble from my hand, grasshopper bot. I suspect,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: and this is a guess, what the hell do I know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: but you've heard the stories of, you know, the pizza
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: chains or whoever tries to deploy delivery bots, and people
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: like hit them with bats and vandalize them and stuff
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: like that. And so evidently, and I suspect this was China,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: the guys look Chinese, but I suspect that They programmed it.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: If somebody messes with you or starts to vandalize you,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: go into chop-sock mode. But I hope you leave enough
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: room for my fist because I'm going to ram it
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: into your stomach.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: But here's the deal. Again, watching this, and like this
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: quote says, this clip was funny, now it's not. And
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: it's not because I'm noticing he doesn't have a direct
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: conflict with one person. Like, I'm saying he, like it's
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: a effing person. He decides to fight everyone. Yeah, I mean,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: anything that comes within, I don't know, radar of this thing,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: he's fighting everybody.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: It'd be interesting if there had been a vacuum cleaner there.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Would he have punched the vacuum cleaner?
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Only humans. But, like, two people are trying to stop
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: it from fighting the dude that snubbed his handshake, and
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: then he just starts, or it, starts going after them.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: That's a good point. It turned against humanity.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Not just the dude who shoved him.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: That's a problem.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: That's why the Mandalorian would say, I hate droids.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Well, you know what's really interesting? The guy shoves it,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: then it hesitates for a long moment, and his minder,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: who I think runs the store, says something to the bot,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: and then it goes apes.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it goes into the, wha!
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: What do you suppose it said to it?
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Your mother's a vacuum cleaner.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, jeez!
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: You're going to take that from your handshake? You're just
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: going to get shoved by our customers like that, you baby?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: All right. All right. I'll take off his head years too,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: you bastard.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Well, I wouldn't have guessed that every robot is trained
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: to fight. Don't they have to be programmed to be
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: able to fight? Or does that just come naturally with
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the robot AI package?
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. This is the AI takeover, dude.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Clearly, it's the first volley. No, I think it was
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: programmed so if somebody messes with you, you go into
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: chop-socky mode so it won't vandalize you. That's my best guess.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: We can't have that. We must have that. You don't
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: get to damage my property. I'm training my property to
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: defend itself.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: We can't have robots who are like guys I've known
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: where if you're walking past them and you bump into them.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: And say, hey!
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I'm going to have robot chop-socky in my driveway.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Wow, stage fights? Yeah. I would totally hang around for that.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Hell yeah.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I wonder if that's the future. I have one stationed
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: outside my front door at night.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Sure, patrolling your grounds, yeah.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, you know what? Chop Sock, he doesn't like to
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: be approached from behind where his little sensors are. That's
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: why he's hitting so much. If you watch the video,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: if you come up behind him. Yeah, well, same, robots.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I'm the same way.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Me too, robot.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Wow.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Could I have jumped into that fight? As I have,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: unfortunately and dumbly, a few times in my life. I'm
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: on your side, robot. Let's take these guys out. Or
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: what is it going to fight me no matter what?
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Because I'm a human.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Do we know how much robot weighs? Because that.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: He's short.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, he's a little guy, but I mean, he's
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: clearly made of metal. So. Right.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: It's a real advantage. Are we going to talk about
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: your Uber driver who taught you time management skills? No? No.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: That's too bad, because I had a Lyft driver really
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: help me with my manscaping, so I was kind of
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: anxious to hear what you had to say.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I'll have to get to that on a future podcast.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I feel ashamed to spend enough time talking about the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: robot fight. I sent you guys a video, by the way,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: of a martial arts demonstration using a robot, and it
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: kicks a child in the stomach.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was troubling.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I'm going to spend a little time on this today.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I'd actually like to know more about that. Was it,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: like Joe's theory, actually trained to fight if anybody messes
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: with it? And is that what robots are?
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I want that. I'm going to.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Ask the world's worst AI system, Rock, if this robot
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: was actually trained to fight.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Were those employees that ran over to try to stop
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: it or just other customers? Yeah.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: No, those are employees.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: If they're employees, they seem to react like they were
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: afraid this was going to happen. I mean, that's kind
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: of what it seemed like to me. Not like they
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: were really shocked and surprised that this thing went apex.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah. I mean, the second the dude shoved it,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: three of them came out of the back like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: What did you call it, Joe? Robot chop?
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Chop socky, yeah.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, chop socky. got into his fight stance, and then
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: all hell breaks loose.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling in the not-too-distant future, when Elon says,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: you know, 80% of Americans will have a home robot,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: we're going to see lots of robot fights. Oh, yeah.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Your battle bots is fun. Robot fights, that'd be even
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: more fun.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Well, there's the staged kind, yeah, but I just think,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: you know, my robot gets in a fight with my
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: neighbor's robot over something.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Or China's 50,000 robots get in a fight with our
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: 50,000 robots, et cetera.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, well, if you haven't seen the video yet,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: it's at armstrongandgetty.com. Judge for yourself whether the robot was
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: in the right or not. You go to shake a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: man's hand.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: So, according to Grok, this thing's name is Syma. S-Y-O-M-A.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Syma.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: It's a retail tech consultant humanoid robot at a Russian
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: electronic store. It is not their combat model.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: And somebody paid extra for the Bruce Lee mode in
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: case somebody gives it a shove.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: The kicks after the shove look like a balance glitch. No,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: that's BS. Staff shut it down. No injuries reported.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: I was trying to whoop some ass. Balance glitch?
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: What are you watching, Croc? This is a retail tech
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: consultant humanoid robot at a Russian store and was not
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: a combatant. robot.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: So that's just a somebody trying to help me at
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the store who has the Chuck Norris mode deep in
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: its brain if it needs it. Right.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: I'm going to a different store. I don't want to
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: get my ass kicked by your robot.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Are there any stores in this mall where I don't
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: have to fight a robot? I'd like to shop there.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Is there a Foot Locker nearby? I'd like to go there.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Goodbye.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: You know, Sears never had killer robots.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying. Good craftsman tools.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess that's it.
