Welcome everyone, coming to you directly from the luxurious OLR Studios, this is Templeton. Where is Las Vegas? This is Sweet Baby Jay. Can I see what you just said written on paper? This is Melina. It is the biggest spider I've ever seen in my life. This is Grizz. After this, I'm going to get off here and I'm going to dragon them balls.

SPEAKER_00:FMJ
SPEAKER_01:Podcast.
SPEAKER_00:It is what it is. We got most everybody here. Does everybody know what today's topic is? R&B? Yes. Welcome back to another beautiful episode of the FMJ Podcast, where we make all of your wildest fantasies come true. I'm just kidding. We don't do that. Unless you take Yeti out to dinner. And give him... He can't even say it. And give him one reach around. Just one. Two is too many. okay so last weekend last weekend i
SPEAKER_01:did
SPEAKER_00:who
SPEAKER_01:who did i ask who did
SPEAKER_00:one or yeah you did and let me tell you when i listened to that episode back today i fucking died it was only like he said hey by show of hands who here's given a reach around and there was just this pause like just dead silence and i'm just like wait what and april i'm sorry melina's like the fuck and i was like what like why
SPEAKER_01:okay so i have a question who here has received a
SPEAKER_00:reach around It was in this moment that I've realized I'm not living a wild enough life. Because I'm going to be real with you. I don't think I've ever got one. Oh my god. I'm leaving so much on the table. It's crazy. What have I done with my life? You guys need to up the bet. You gotta pump them numbers up. Increase your buy-in. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Anyway. Pump them numbers up. It's crazy. I'm just saying. We'll do a quick around the room here. Get everybody's pulse. See how everybody's doing. Right now I'm Melina can't join us. She's busy doing other stuff for her family. But let's start with Templeton. I knew it. How'd you know? I don't know. I got ESPN. Yeah, you got ESPN. You probably have the Ocho and ESPN Classics. I'm doing good, man. Life's all right. Yeah. That's good. Anything new? New games? New hobbies? No, man. Just, you know, working, paying bills. But I'm on vacation next week, so I guess technically today is the first day of the vacation. Huh. Okay. Well, hey, listen, vacations are always nice, and I'm kind of jealous that you are going to be on vacation next week. Because, I mean, granted, I kind of do have some vacation time coming up. Excuse me. Because we have stuff to do, Yeti and I, next weekend. And it's going to consist of having... We have the air show to attend. Oh, nice. Yep. We got the air show to volunteer for. Nice. Awesome. Love doing the air show. We look forward to it. Love doing the air show. It's a lot of fun. But, happy for you. Enjoy your vacation. You doing anything fun or not really? Just kind of staycation-ish. I am going to do as little as possible, actually, because that's one of my favorite things to do. That's fair. Staying at home where all your stuff is because you like it there. I get it. All right. Let's just kind of go kind of clockwise, I guess. Grizz. Yeah. What's your post looking like? Hmm. Hmm.
UNKNOWN:Hmm. Hmm.
SPEAKER_00:92 oh i got stressed i mean it's up but it's not up a little stressed you know i walked home today you know it was uphill i get it wasn't uphill everything's pretty good um i had to work an overnight shift earlier this week and that like Just derailed my only two off days this week. Yeah, that does suck. I worked Monday overnight, so 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. And then I had Tuesday and Wednesday off, and I just slept all of Tuesday. Oh, man. By the time I was awake to do anything proper, it was like fucking the sun was down. And so then on Tuesday night, I was like, I'm trying to go to bed. And then wake up Wednesday and I'm like still dead tired. I didn't do anything I wanted to do. Listen, sometimes sometimes you have days like that, though, because I will say like there there there will be weekends where I am like working nonstop. Like it feels like I have just been moving constantly and then come like the third weekend in a row. And I'm just like, you know what? I'm dead to the world on Saturday. I don't want to do shit. Don't call me. Don't text me. Nothing. I just want to exist. That's it. I feel that, man. A lot of the off days I have, I use on working towards my dream as working for myself as an artist. I don't really feel like I have off days. It gets very tiresome and kind of weigh on you like mentally after a while the grind is the grind is very real and it's very very grindy but
SPEAKER_01:that's the most important thing of why you need to have me time yeah right there because you grind so much and you forget to take care of yourself and a lot of issues stem from not taking care of yourself to be to be frank
SPEAKER_00:i spent like a year and a half two years working like six days a week every week for you know like You're going to have two years straight. And then, like, last couple of months, I've taken that extra day to just not work and be like me. Nope. It wears on you. It's tough. Yeah. yeah so just so for those for those listening obviously you know we again we understand that especially for grizz we understand that it's life is busy and again the grind is very grindy but at the same time it is important to stop down and you know if you need if you need to sleep for a whole day fuck it who cares like who cares what you know you know what i mean Take care of yourself, for sure. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, if you take one day to sleep. Yeah, yeah. Oh, no. Right. Yeah, even though some people would be like, well, you know, you're just sleeping the day away. It's like you don't understand. my schedule. Those are those people that don't know what your life is like. They reflect it off of what their life is like. Oh, well, I'm up at the crack of dawn. That's great. So am I. And I'm always doing shit. This is a good time to reiterate to our listeners. We don't make any money off of this podcast. This is something that we just do because we enjoy doing it. So The rest of the week, we're living our lives and doing the same hustle that everybody else is doing.
SPEAKER_01:Selling crack and everything.
SPEAKER_00:We don't want to make it sound like this is our job. This is something we do because we enjoy doing it. It's the selling snow that is our job. Is that what you said, Jay? Wait, wait, wait, wait. Or the joke. He sells snow and I sell water. That's exactly what it is. No, no. He sells ice. I sell snow. That's how that works. Anyway. Careful with the ice sales. So anyway, but Grizz, keep it up.
SPEAKER_01:Mine has definitely gone down.
UNKNOWN:Keep it up.
SPEAKER_00:Keep it up. Grizz, keep it up. Stay focused and always, again, take care of yourself. Yeti!
SPEAKER_01:You rang?
SPEAKER_00:Let's see if he can get it right, guys. Who wants to bet? Who wants to take a bet he doesn't get it right? I say... Never mind. I believe in him. What does your pulse look like, Yeti?
SPEAKER_01:316.
SPEAKER_00:Jesus fucking Christ. Come on now. Austin. Austin 316. I just whooped your ass. God, he killed him! It's Stone Cold! The rattlesnake! Surprise! We have a special guest! I'm sure you have a regular doctor that you go to every day. I would love to see their face if your pulse was fucking 3 goddamn 16. They're like, well, he needs to go to the
SPEAKER_01:ER.
SPEAKER_00:I
SPEAKER_01:think you'd be dead if your pulse was 316.
SPEAKER_00:For sure. I think your heart would probably... Probably explodes. I don't know how quickly. I think it explodes around 240. Listen to this guy. I keep mine right at 239, you know what I'm saying? Right there. Right at that red line, you know? They call my heart the Dorito. You betcha. Anyway, Yeti. Yo Pulse, how you doing? Everything good? Good talk So, anyway No, no, no I was
SPEAKER_01:thinking I was trying to figure
SPEAKER_00:out
SPEAKER_01:I was trying to figure out where I should start Because a lot has happened In the last like Seven days So, because To be fair, literally seven days ago I was at the ER with my wife Seven days Because she had Appendicitis And had to get that shit removed On top of that She was 7 months She is 7 months pregnant So there was hurdles And Crazy conversations that I had then She stayed in the hospital Until Saturday Obviously I didn't get much sleep When we were at the hospital Came home And I mean obviously I'm attending to her so anytime that she needed something I would get up and attend to her so I didn't get much sleep kind of during some of those days and I finally went back to work Thursday and I only went to work Thursday Friday and I'm just exhausted she's doing better she's doing a lot better the baby's still in her everything's good everything's healthy it was just a lot and it was a lot not just physically but mentally because to be fair like I'm not a genius by any means. I don't know surgery procedures. I don't have a PhD in appendicitis or anything like that. When you are dealing with someone that's pregnant, you hear a lot of things that a pregnant woman can't do. They're not supposed to do this. They're not supposed to eat hot dogs. They're not supposed to smoke. They're not supposed to drink. They're not supposed to eat this type of food. They can't lift really heavy stuff after a certain time because everything could be bad for the baby and or for the mother when you hear the word surgery or appendicitis I'm sorry but my brain takes those things and puts it into the do not do column again if I don't know anything that's what I'm going to do so when I first heard it I was like oh this is all bad so my mind goes a thousand miles a minute So there's the mental part that I'm talking about. Cause you're thinking about every negative thing that could possibly happen. And you go there and you've seen these movies. Cause again, I got nothing to base it off of. Like, is anything in the movies real? Like, you
SPEAKER_00:know what I'm saying? I mean, no, no, that's fair. That's fair. That was a percent. Understand what I'm
SPEAKER_01:saying? So that part was just exhausting. And then when we're talking to the surgeon team, it felt like, okay, so they're going to give you the good, the bad and the ugly, right?
UNKNOWN:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:It felt like the good and the ugly, or I'm sorry, the bad and the ugly conversation, and I'm exaggerating, was like an hour long, and the good was only 15 seconds.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:So you're then left with all this negative stuff because they were like, if we can't open her, if we can't get the appendix out with the three little cuts, we're going to have to slit her vertically like they did in the old school days. And then if they said they have to cut her open, they're going to have to take out the baby. Yeah, the baby's going to come out. the baby's not going to be able to handle all that. Right. So literally at like this time, this.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, no way. Oh shit. No, that's the worst fucking possible. No way. No way. That's crazy. But, uh, until yet he gets back. Um, he is right. He's, he's, he's had a very busy week. It's been a rough time for him. The moment they told me that was happening. Last Friday,
SPEAKER_01:I was thinking that I was going
SPEAKER_00:to have a preemie. Whoa. No way.
SPEAKER_01:Did I freeze?
SPEAKER_00:Bro, you froze so bad. Sorry, buddy. So bad. So bad. Oh, shit. Well, let me finish my thought real quick, and then I'll let you get back. Because I was just telling them, I was like, it's crazy, because the moment I heard that was happening, I did ask. I was like, can they even do that and i had to google it because when i was when when you know uh the mom told me she was like uh she's got appendicitis they're gonna have to operate and blah i was like can they do that on a pregnant woman i was like i i feel like they can but i don't know because i just don't know so i had to google that myself so but yeti are you there can you hear us Are you frozen again? He's frozen again. He's frozen again. Jesus Christ. It's fucking nuts. I don't understand. It's his goddamn internet. I keep telling him he needs to do something about that internet. It could be the internet. It could be the laptop. I don't fucking know. But we're waiting on him to come back. What is he doing? What's he doing? The thing that really upset me about all of it is I mean that whole situation is scary enough on its own But they've had so much issues with, like, babies and stuff like that in the past. Yeah. It was really scary. Right. Are you there? Are you there, Yeti? We can see you moving. Sort of. Kind of. He might be frozen now. That's such an Albert cover. It kind of is. It kind of is. He looks like he's about to drop the hottest mixtape of 2025. I'll tell you what, this shit's bad. This is awful. Crazy work. Crazy work. Okay, so until... Yep, there he goes. So until Yeti gets back, I guess we could take this time to maybe... I want to wait on Entertainment News because I want to get Yeti in on this one because the Entertainment News that I'm going to talk about, I think he might have something to say about it, so... But as of right now... Hey, did y'all hear about... Oh, my God. What was that? Oh, Kendrick? His show in Toronto? I heard a little bit. I heard he had one. I heard there was a... Has it happened yet? A couple days ago. The first night was yesterday. It was last night. And then the second night is tonight. So he sold out crowd and they're chanting for an encore of Not Like Us. In Drake's hometown. And then Jay sent me a video like this today. They were in New Ho King. Yep. Which is a popular restaurant in Toronto. Yep. And they were all singing the lyrics and just showing out. It was ridiculous. Yeah, they were getting down. To fucking Kendrick in Toronto. And I was like, oh, this is tough. And apparently, DJ Academics, I don't know if you guys follow him at all on TikTok or anything. I do not. I know who he is, but I don't pay attention. Yeah, he was talking about how, I guess he was texting Drake and was saying like, you got to get out there. You got to do something, right? Because this man's in your hometown and everybody, you know, he's singing Not Like Us, blah, blah, blah, blah. And he said, Drake texted him back and said, oh, I would love to, but they've been parked outside my house for like two hours, so I'm not gonna... I was like, no way! Not Kendrick stomping in your backyard and having the time of his life! I mean, this is
SPEAKER_01:what happens when you pick the wrong fight with
SPEAKER_00:the wrong person. Seriously, that's exactly what happens. When you underestimate your opponent, this is what happens. He demolishes your character, and then goes to your hometown, even though all that shit you was talking, and the crazy part is, people are like, Kendrick's dragging this beef, he's dragging this beef, and so many people like like like drake wasn't doing that with pusha with back to back and all that kind of shit like really like he asked for this like on push-ups when it gives drop drop drop then kendrick did and he hasn't stopped since you said drop yeah you didn't say stop you haven't said you know you haven't cried uncle you haven't said i've had enough all you said is i'm done responding but you didn't tell kendrick to stop responding so I don't know. That's kind of funny. I don't know how long it's going to take Yeti to get back. So, here's what we're going to do. We will carry on, and when he gets back in, we might be able to get him to finish our story. So, what I'm going to do is this. Who wants some entertainment news? Always. Always? Let's hit it. Okay. Did you guys hear about the new Xbox handheld? I did not. The ROG Ally Xbox. Oh, this is perfect. Yeah, I know. Isn't it perfect? Perfect timing. Yay! You there? Yay! Just in time. We just started Entertainment News. We chatted a little bit to give you a little bit of time. Great. Continue. Entertainment News. We just started. Let's go. You want to hear it?
SPEAKER_01:Yes, please.
SPEAKER_00:The Xbox handheld is what we're talking about. Your internet sucks. You know what he did? He went upstairs and put his black Nikes on. His black Air Force Ones. He said, that's the kind of energy I'm going to have the rest of this show. Anyway, entertainment news. Xbox's handheld, the ROG Ally Xbox. What are we thinking? We thinking that's going to completely... just destroy the console wars? Like, do we think that, you know, is it Xbox's way of saying, ah, fuck it, I don't want to do it anymore, and I'm going to, you know, turn my focus on to what probably is going to be the future of gaming, or what are we thinking? I think they're going to have a very difficult time competing with the Steam Deck. Okay. Well, my, okay, so the thing I'm thinking of, the question I have is, is how impactful was the Steam Deck? Because at the price point that it is, you could just build a PC. Right. But if you value gaming on the go at a high quality, you're going to appreciate the Steam Deck. And you might even have a place for the Xbox because you already like things on the go. Mm-hmm. you might be like, oh, let me try this Xbox thing out. It might be better than the Steam Deck. Steam Deck is arguably older tech at the moment. I don't know when the last one came around. Probably. You're probably not. If you're interested in seeing cutting-edge tech, it might have a place, but I don't know if it'll be disruptful enough to make Sony go, I'm going to make one. Because they already did it, right? Yes, they have the PSP and the PSP. No, they had, they have one for the PS five, the portal, the PlayStation portal, which is they, they, they've done an update. Cause before, when it first came out, um, that you had to be like in close proximity of your PS five for it to even operate. So you couldn't really, it wasn't really for much, but like just kind of hanging out in bed. You know what I mean? Don't want to wake anybody up type shit. That's weird. Yeah. But they did. That's probably what pushed Xbox to do this. Maybe, but I mean, I didn't know about this, that, that the, the portal has been out since 2023. So, Sony's already done the handheld thing, but they did do an update that allows you to take it anywhere, but you do have to, just like the Switch, you have to be connected to a Wi-Fi connection to play it. Now, here's where I'm going to throw some of the stuff out there to you, some of the information that we already know about the ROG Ally Xbox. It will allow you... The way that it's made, I think it's either an 8-inch or 10-inch screen. I don't remember. But they basically took the Xbox controller, and they cut it in half and put a screen in the middle of it. So you have the Xbox controller feel. You have the grip and all that kind of stuff, right? With a screen that is basically Nintendo Switch-worthy, because it's like 1080p, possible 4K, what have you. But... What you're going to be able to do, because the original ROG Ally runs off of Windows 11. So what Xbox decided to do, because they partnered with ROG Ally, obviously, is they told ROG Ally, ditch Windows 11, because it frees up a lot of space, right? But what it's going to do is you're going to basically be able to log into Game Pass, if you have it. You'll be able to play all of your Xbox games from your cloud storage. And it will have Steam installed on it. Shit. Well, there you go. Everyone from the Steam Deck can jump over to try cutting-edge tech. There it is. So, the screen
SPEAKER_01:is only 7-inch.
SPEAKER_00:Really? I thought it was either 8 or 2. Yeah, I mean, 7 is enough. I've not heard any complaints, but anyway. Anyway. It might be the Portal I'm thinking about. The Portal might be 8-inch. I'm not 100% sure. Because I know they have the ROG Ally Xbox. They're going to have two separate ones. They're going to have the X and the S. So you're going to kind of have that. And it is a console console. PC hybrid is exactly what it is. But it's going to be a handheld. So, does that in turn mean Sony has to respond with something? Maybe something updated from the portal? I don't know. I mean, they can't ignore it, for sure. So, it depends on what the goals of Sony to Microsoft is. True. Because, like, Sony... Sony is just Sony, right? They've been doing their shit for a while. Long time. They're like, yeah, we make TVs. We make stereos. We do this. Everything. You like to game? Here, I'll tell you what. I'll make you a game. PlayStation. They just do it flawlessly. I've never had a product from Sony. I'm talking them up. They don't even give me money. I've never had a product from them that I've been disappointed with. Right. Like, truly. No, you're right. And there's been plenty of Microsoft products that I've been disappointed with. I think we all can say we've had our fair share of disappointment from Microsoft. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, and that's just a baby jab. So, AI, if you're listening, leave me alone. Uh-oh. Ra-ra! But... I'm coming for you, Chris. I... i don't know if sony needs to respond but what they can do is see how this plays out they already have the groundwork because they were you know they were pretty early on to the handheld game with like the psp yep i remember that being a part of my you know upbringing like because i had a game boy game boy color uh i never had a ds but i had uh like the uh What was it? The SP or some bullshit? I don't know. They had one that was like this, like horizontal. And then there was a flip phone one, the Game Boy flip phone. I forget what the advance or some shit. Anyway, from there, like the Sony had the PSP that came out like after those, but like they've done it. So they have, I feel like they have the groundwork if they wanted to chase it, but I don't know if they have to. Yeah. And the crazy part is a lot of people loved the PSP, that PlayStation Portable. I hear that just gets all kinds of praise from anybody that's ever owned one. I miss it, honestly. Really? Yeah, because it was like low-key fun. At least my memories of it was fun. I never owned one, so I wouldn't know. Neither have I. I had the first gen one. I never had the PSP, the tinier one. I never had one of those, but I had the first gen version. It had one joystick on it. Yeah. It was kind of cool. And then on top of that, they had a solid library to go with it. So it was kind of hard. Yeah, for sure. And I think that's pretty important, especially when you're venturing off on new things. It's good to have something to go with it. And I think that's what a lot of people's complaints are about the Switch 2, especially the launch titles. There really wasn't much that came with it. Yeah, that's disappointing. Right, it kind of is. It's kind of like the price tag, right? Exactly, which I'm saying that to say this. The ROG Ally is already out, right? They already have the original ROG Ally. That runs about$900 by itself. Damn. Yeah. So, the upgrades on the ROG Ally Xbox, they got the new Ryzen something, like the next generation Ryzen fucking processor in it, right? So people are expecting this ROG Ally Xbox to be either$900 or upwards to$1,200 for a handheld. So, here's where I'm at. I'm like, so y'all bitched about nintendo on a 400 handheld but everybody's over here like xbox take my money on a 1200 handheld that so
SPEAKER_01:again okay so different markets it's a different market you're talking about xbox who we could all agree dominates the online multiplayer you're now going to put that in the hands of people who can now travel to with a handheld device. I
SPEAKER_00:can compete with those consoles.
SPEAKER_01:Price tags, yeah. It can handle a price tag. People feel more comfortable paying a price tag of that amount. Right now, let's put it like this. If the Wii or the Nintendo Switch 2 had a price tag of$1,000, who do you think is going to buy that?
SPEAKER_00:Well, nobody's going to buy a Switch for$1,000. But what's strange is kids who are like, Their parents are the ones that are paying for the service.
SPEAKER_01:Right, but here's the thing, though. Keep in mind, a lot of the parents are going to... You could argue a lot of the parents are going to be, what, my age? Our age? Yes. And Xbox... I mean, a lot of us grew up playing Halo. We have that nostalgia factor. So if I buy it for my kid, I'm going to play it, too. Yeah. That's what you're going to get. So that... that's how it's going to get bought. There's, there's reasons and explanations for people that say I'll pay$1,200 cause both me and my kid can play it. Oh my God, I'm going to be able to play. I'm going to use call of duty as an example. I'll be able to play call of duty in my hand at any given moment. Right? Like I'm
SPEAKER_00:taking that cool. No, no, no, it is. That's what I'm saying. I'm
SPEAKER_01:able, I'm able to take a shit and I can play a hardcore team death match real quick.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:It's the people who need that quick fix. are
SPEAKER_00:going to be the ones that fucking get it. Again, it's neat, but what happens to your Xbox console after that?
SPEAKER_01:So, this is where you pose the question of do you think Xbox stopped making consoles? There we go.
SPEAKER_00:They've talked about that before.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, if this handheld... No, they backtracked it since then, but if this handheld takes off and
SPEAKER_00:dominates... I produce something you don't need to produce right so that's why I'm saying do they is this kind of a way of Xbox conceding to Sony saying I can't keep up in a console it might be to be fair Sony does have the
SPEAKER_01:better console
SPEAKER_00:they're still outselling Xbox and
SPEAKER_01:I say that all the time um the only thing is what about because there is going to be a very small group of people and I say small but that number is probably large but it's small in terms of what you know what I'm saying percentages of like how many people get a handheld versus how many people want the console what about those people who want the console are they going to have a way to connect the road? I don't know this, and I call it the road because that's the way my brain works. It's wrong. I know it's wrong. I'm not a huge... It's wrong. I know, I know. But is there a way to connect that to the
SPEAKER_00:TV? No. And that's where a lot of people go. But there could be one in the future. Could be. Bingo. Could be. Bingo.
SPEAKER_01:If I can make a$2 device that will now connect this handheld to my TV and work seamlessly.
SPEAKER_00:Seamlessly. Seamlessly. Yes.
SPEAKER_01:Seamlessly. Yes. Yes. Another hard word.
SPEAKER_00:They're going to fucking do that. And how much did you say? Like$300. Okay, so now... So my argument... Go ahead. Wait, I want to hear what you have to say, Jay. Okay, well, what I was going to say is this. If you have to make a$200 to$300 extra part, now you're spending... If it's upwards to$1,200, right? So let's just say, all in all, for argument's sake, you're now paying$1,500 for a console PC handheld that I now have to add something else to to connect to my TV when I could just pay$450 for something that naturally does that. Why is Nintendo getting so much hate?
SPEAKER_01:That's a fair question. I do understand the question, and I do agree that it is fair, but I think it comes down to the online dominance that Microsoft has. I'm sorry. Yes.
SPEAKER_00:How much was the Switch when it first came out? The original Switch? Which one? The first Switch. It was about$300. It was like$269.$299,$269, something like that. And the Switch 2 is what,$399?$400. Yeah, it's$400. It's$400. So it's$399, right? Yes, basically. But if you get the bundle, it's$450 because the bundle comes with Mario Kart World, which they're trying to sell the bundle. They're trying to push the bundle because the game itself costs$80. So if you get the bundle, you're getting the game. So that's why they're trying to push the bundle. Yeah. And it makes sense because somebody somewhere acknowledged, hey, we're ticking up on the price of these games to$80. And we're upping the price on the console$100. So we're going up$180 in value.
UNKNOWN:Yep.
SPEAKER_00:And we're expecting these families to just accept that. And somebody somewhere made the decision to make a deal. We'll give them one game at a price. So then people will likely spend more money on the thing than them risking not selling any. Correct. So why is everyone complaining that it's like four 50 is not that bad. It's not that. No, it's not. I agree with that. I
SPEAKER_01:agree with that.
SPEAKER_00:I'm wondering like, was the Wii U like super cheap? Cause I'm just confused on why I feel like the Nintendo has always been like affordable, but like the switch was the first, like we should have been bitching that the switch was 300 and Honestly, seriously, because I think the highest resolution was 720p. You weren't getting the full console experience. Now, don't get me wrong. It was still powerful because they ported over games that nobody expected, like Doom Eternal, for instance. Nobody expected Doom to wind up on the fucking Switch.
SPEAKER_01:Just real quick, because I was curious how much the Game Boy was when it first came out. To put this in... Retrospect, the Game Boy was$89.99. In 2004, that's equivalent to$228. Yeah. So to be fair, it's
SPEAKER_00:not really that expensive. It's not. That's why I'm confused by the outrage. Listen, listen. The original NES with inflation is over$500 right now. If it came out today... Exactly. If it came out today, it's over$500. But people will argue with you and be like, whoa, that was back then. Who cares about inflation? Because if the Switch 2 came out back then and inflation now, I'm like, but that's not the case, is it? The Switch 2 is coming out now and it is still less than what the NES would cost today. So what the fuck is the problem? Yes, they are a little less user friendly with charging you for in-game chat. They do have a monthly subscription thing for in-game chat. That's wild. That to me is kind of stupid. That should just come naturally. Actually, I take it back. I don't hate that because mostly children are playing this. That is fair. I didn't think about it from that perspective. It keeps it less toxic. It keeps it less toxic, but it also keeps people that shouldn't be talking to children away from people that shouldn't be talking to each other.
SPEAKER_01:Unless they're willing to pay
SPEAKER_00:X amount of dollars. The parents can now control that and say, well, I'm not going to spend$2. Okay, it's$2, but I'm not going to spend that right now because you're too young to be getting online and chatting with people anyway. You don't need to be talking to people online.
SPEAKER_01:You can play online, but you ain't going to talk to nobody.
SPEAKER_00:Now that you put it that way into some kind of perspective, okay, I'm not mad about it. Brilliant. Yeah, I'm actually not mad about it. They should do that for Xbox. What do you mean? I use Discord to talk to my buddies anyway.
SPEAKER_01:But like I said, I mean, I don't know. I get what you're saying, Jay. I just feel like, like I said, I think Xbox has that... No
SPEAKER_00:shade to Xbox. No shade to Xbox whatsoever because I'm excited because you're about to get an Xbox handheld with Steam, which means all the PlayStation exclusives are going to be available to those that never, that were all, you know, Xbox fanboys essentially, that were always like, man, I wish we would get Spider-Man. That alone. That's a selling point. Yeah, it's a selling point. I have Steam. I have access to every game. You know what else it does? It gives PC players a mobility that, like, the Steam Deck gave you, but it just expanded the library because, like, the Steam Deck, I don't think, had access to Game Pass, did it? No. No. That's why you're getting three separate things. You're getting your Game Pass, Steam, and your library on Xbox. Right. And if you game on PC, like I do, I can access Game Pass because it's Microsoft. Mm-hmm. So... I could have my Xbox games and my Steam games on my PC. In one spot. And now there's a device that's about to come out that allows me to go mobile. Like if I'm, you know, in another city working on a project for someone and I want to bring some entertainment along, I don't have to just play on my phone now. Exactly. That's pretty sick. And people will value that. You know, if they work in a specific job where they get to work remote, but for some reason there's like a conference now and you, you know, you have downtime between conferences. and you want to have your games, but you can't bring your whole PC. People will buy it. It's overpriced a little bit, but people will buy it.
SPEAKER_01:Steam Deck does allow you to play Game Pass games, but you have to take the scenic route. You have to open up a browser like
SPEAKER_00:Microsoft Edge. That's a lot. Most people won't do that. Nope. They want the app. They want to be able to just hit a button and go with it. Yeah, and that's the selling point on the ROG ally, Xbox, is that that's why Xbox decided, get rid of Windows 11. We're not going to have to use a browser. It's literally just going to be right there at your fingertips. Everything can just literally, like an app, like you would on your Xbox. You just go over here, click this, and it just fires right up. Oh, my God. They streamlined the operating system. They basically rebuilt it in a... functional form. Exactly. They could learn from that and apply it to Windows 12. That would be pretty sweet. You can connect a ROG to a TV. Can you?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. There you go. With a fucking USB fucking to see.
SPEAKER_00:Okay. So I wanted to say something earlier, but I let it get away from me too far. What I was going to say is it wouldn't need to be a$300 product add-on. Those docking stations for the switches can't be When you think of the price to percentage for an accessory.
SPEAKER_01:That's true.
SPEAKER_00:Those docks are probably under$20. All it is is a stand and then there's an HDMI cable that plugs into the back of the Switch into a TV. That's all the ROG would actually need is a stand and an HDMI to USB-C.
SPEAKER_01:And that's it. I was going to say that earlier, but I let it get away. I mean, I was just winging it. I mean, we were just talking and I was just...
SPEAKER_00:No, I know, I know. But I was going to clear that up and then I let it get away. I didn't say anything. I mean, is that on the original ROG Ally, though? Well, that's on the ROG Ally right now. Okay, so you'll have to see what Xbox allowed. Because again, they partnered with ROG Ally. So what is it called now? ROG Ally Xbox. They just literally added the xbox to the name wrong ally because it's all it what all it is is a partnership what's up um yeah you will be able to my neighbor down the hall she uh has been working on this product in secrecy
SPEAKER_01:no shit
SPEAKER_00:yeah so when they dropped the news she was like sharing on her instagram about it oh my god one of One of the features that they showcased in the ad, like the commercial drop, was a feature that she's been personally working on, so I thought that was really sick. Oh, that's pretty dope. That's dope as fuck. Yeah. And then... I commented on her story and was like, hey, if you need a playtester, I'm right down the hall. No shit. She replied back and was like, I have one in my apartment right now. And I was like, dude, don't play with me. Give me, give me, give me, give me. I'm going to try. I'm going to try and get my hands on it and fuck around with it. Try to. I wish I would have. I wish I would have known that this was the entertainment news. because I would have tried to get it off of her. A little more aggressive with it? Yeah, I would have tried to get a hold of it. Listen, that's okay, because if you can, if you absolutely can work out a deal to where you can beta test it in a way, I don't know if that would be beta. Just testing it out. Yeah, just fucking with it. We can absolutely do an Extra Lives episode about that. Like your review about how... That would be sick, yeah. What?!
UNKNOWN:!
SPEAKER_00:Try really fucking hard. I will. I will. I'll hit her up this week. Try really fucking hard. That would be pretty dope. Ain't gonna lie. That would be dope. I don't know. I'm here for it. I'm here for it. Again, I'm not upset. I'm not upset about it. I'm excited for everybody to be able to get to play all the PlayStation exclusives. Finally, Yeti will maybe play The Last of Us. I don't fucking know. I got a
SPEAKER_01:question, though.
SPEAKER_00:Do you think they would
SPEAKER_01:allow... If it's at that price point, do you think they'd allow, like, a payment program? No.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, there's always a firm. It's always a firm.
SPEAKER_01:No. Like a cell phone?
SPEAKER_00:Oh, like that?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, cell
SPEAKER_00:phone companies. They'll just have it through a firm or after pay. Yeah, something like that. But those companies are very greedy. They want their money in their
SPEAKER_01:hands. that's in my finger hut
SPEAKER_00:yeah templeton is right though those companies are very greedy they're gonna want their money they don't want it now right no i get it i get it unless you buy unless you buy it on amazon and like like chris said it's gonna be a firm after pay yeah after pay that's where it's gonna be where they're they they're getting their money and you're just paying someone else back basically yeah exactly that's what like finger heart like They have already bought the product and you're just paying them and paying them extra for the same thing. Could you imagine seeing the handheld Xbox on your finger? Get your wrong ally Xbox! What's funny is it probably would be. I wouldn't doubt it. So, of course, again, just to reiterate, I'm not mad about it. I'm excited for... It's exciting to think about as a gamer, right? To see where everything's going. Just for me, though, I still prefer my consoles because, I mean, granted, I do enjoy, especially when we go out of town, I do enjoy bringing my Switch along because it gives me something to do. And I have something fun to play on extreme down times. I will literally just hook up Mario and just go to fucking town, right? That's where I'm at with it. But at the end of the day, when I'm at home, I'm not going to be playing the handheld. I'm going to have it hooked up to my TV. That's why I got it. My TV's not going to become obsolete because of a handheld, at least just not for me. But I am excited for it. For our listeners, you let us know if you're excited for it. How are you feeling about it? The price tag has not been announced yet, though. People are speculating that's probably what it's going to be at since the Rock Ally is already expensive as it is. Now you slap Xbox on it.$900 to$1,300? Yeah, they're thinking that much. might be the price that might be the price range which is for me i'm like that's a no for me dog like it's not a hard no for me but it would be a low on the priorities list yeah by the time by the time i would set dedicated spending money aside to drop a thousand dollars on a gaming rig that product will have had three or four generations. No shit. It's still really cool. Yeah. The fifth generation. Especially with Nintendo. They really, really retain their licensing rights. Right. So if you get like a new, like Zelda or new Mario or new Castlevania or whatever, and you want to play it, you're going to have to have that console to play it on because you're not going to let anybody else have it. Right. Excuse me. I mean, to be fair, most, most, um, Castlevanias are, are like cross platform. I think, I think they, I don't think Nintendo holds onto that one as tightly as I think they do. Um, yeah. I mean, maybe not, but I'm just right. What's that? Castlevania is on PlayStation network, right? Yeah. I got Castlevania on my steam. Um, Like the Legacy Edition or whatever. Yeah, so I think there are some IPs they're not super tied over. Certain games like classic franchises or whatever. Oh yeah, I mean that's... Yeah, Nintendo's... notoriously stingy. Yeah, you'll never see Nintendo games like Zelda or Mario, anything like that. You're not going to see that on Steam or on Xbox anytime soon. No. Does Nintendo be stingy? So if you want those games and you don't want that console, like if there's like a fucking amazing Mario game that nobody's heard of, you either have to have that console or you're going to be fucked. Yeah, basically. Right. I mean, Super Mario emulator. There you go. Super Mario Wonder. Yeah. Dope. But anyway. Yeah. Just let us know in the chat how you how you're feeling about it. Let us know in the comments. Yeti, do you do you feel like finishing your story or are you are you like moments past? Yeah. Finish your story, Yeti. I don't even know where I left off. So moments passed. Okay. Well, if you would do us a great favor and pull up Reddit roulette for us, we'll have a whole new story to talk about.
SPEAKER_01:Sounds like a plan. Stan. Stan. Stan. All right. Now, if you guys remember, two weeks ago, we said we were going to do this particular Reddit
SPEAKER_00:story. Oh, that's right. Did you save it?
SPEAKER_01:So am I the asshole for criticizing my husband's drilling skills?
SPEAKER_00:That means yes. So I say we do that one. Let's do it. Light it up. Go for it. That's right. Now it's not Reddit or Lit. It's Reddit or Reddit.
SPEAKER_01:I don't know if I have the whole thing.
SPEAKER_00:You're such a bitch. No, but I screenshotted it. No, I screenshotted it. I don't
SPEAKER_01:know if it's the whole... You had one job. I know,
SPEAKER_00:right? Couldn't use like... Wait, can you look it up? I'm gonna try
SPEAKER_01:it real quick. I'm gonna try
SPEAKER_00:to... Look up their username. You had one job, Yeti. One motherfucking job!
UNKNOWN:Awful.
SPEAKER_01:What's the username?
SPEAKER_00:I don't know. You tell us. Joe Mama.
SPEAKER_01:What the fuck? Criticizing my husband's drilling skills. Criticizing...
SPEAKER_00:I wonder what she means by drilling skills. I sort of feel like this could already have been done, but what do I know? What do you mean? Wait a minute. You mean we could have been prepared?
SPEAKER_01:I did screenshot the whole thing.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, so...
SPEAKER_01:Let's see if her... Oh, I didn't have the thing. Okay. So we are moving right now. My husband was taking down stuff off the walls that I hadn't already taken down. My husband usually does most of the tool work only because he insists, which is fine. But growing up to work with a carpenter dad and mastering a drill by 10, I couldn't take hearing him stripping the screws any longer. So I told him that he was stripping the screws and he needs to be more careful. He kept doing it and I told him again. I told him again to ease the screws before going fast. He turned and started yelling at me. He's not stripping the screws. I literally pointed out the screw and showed him that he was. I mean, so...
SPEAKER_00:If he's stripping the screws and it doesn't really like it's only his time that he's wasting. I don't whatever. I am not the not the same. Drilling criticism that we thought. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I said. Wonder what they mean by these screws. But I will say times are definitely hard if the screws are stripping. That's true. Listen, listen. That's a good joke. That's a good joke, okay? Everybody that's listening right now. That's a good joke. That was solid. That was solid. Better than you think it is. Just think about it. Like that one, that was going to get drilled into your head. Wait, wait. Chris, you got to do it right. For the joke. Let's go, baby. Anyway, so is she asking if she's the asshole for criticizing his drilling
SPEAKER_01:skills? Yes, yes. Because he was stripping the screws. So here's the
SPEAKER_00:thing. I
SPEAKER_01:know every relationship, every marriage, every partnership is fucking different, right? And I'm telling you right now, the way me and my wife act toward each other, if I'm doing something stupid... It's vicious.
UNKNOWN:It's vicious.
SPEAKER_01:She will be the first one to be like, yo, you are doing something stupid. It's vicious. And straight call me out on my bullshit. She does.
SPEAKER_00:I think that's most relationships though, right? The people closest to us are the quickest to tell us how much of a dumbass we are. Right, right? Okay. Is
SPEAKER_01:she the asshole? No, because if roles were reversed, there's a good chance he would have said something. I mean, yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. I mean, it sounds like he was already gaslighting her into trying to believe he had good drilling skills. So he's 100% going to gaslight her if she's doing it. I love that she brings up the fact he's an office worker. Right. Right. As soon as I heard that, I was like, oh, he doesn't know what he's doing. She sounds like my wife. Like, that's the shit my wife would
SPEAKER_01:say.
SPEAKER_00:She would be like, yo, you work in an office. Put the drill down. Put the drill down. What? Put the drill down. She'd be like, call Jeremy. Yep, basically. Step away from the drill. Step away from the drill. Get the bullpen ready. Make the call. Make the call.
SPEAKER_01:I'm telling you, man. Nah, she's not the asshole, bro. He just needs to get over his little fucking ego. That's what that comes down to. That's him being annoyed that his ego was put in check.
SPEAKER_00:100% agree. I'm sorry. Go ahead, Templeton. What were you saying? I said I agree. You agree that she's not the asshole? Yeah. The only thing I would add is if it's not time sensitive and you don't know what the fuck you're doing and it takes you a week and a half, two weeks, three weeks to do a basic job, who are you getting mad at? I mean, let me explain this to you. If it takes anybody a week to screw something into a wall, I'm going to stop you at like day two and be like, just go to sleep. Go to bed. Give me the drill. I will tell you this. The one thing that I've
SPEAKER_01:been working with, I feel like I've been working with a lot of screws lately. The one thing I've noticed I find myself doing more and more is adjusting the torque of the drill.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Like,
SPEAKER_00:if it's something really minor... Pulling the trigger and like No cause like you can On most drills Oh you're talking about like the twisty
SPEAKER_01:Yeah so like the lowest setting Is like two and you use like two to four Is like for plastics Like the softer the material that you're screwing into It will once it hits that Friction point it will stop
SPEAKER_00:Listen to Yeti mansplaining screwdrivers Yeah I know I'm done whatever Fuck you Jake Fuck you Jake Are you not being a brother for once? I fucking hate it here. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Just the way he was getting... You know, you just gotta turn the lowest setting is two. he must have ditched he must have ditched the black force ones and put the dad force ones back
SPEAKER_01:on that's what he did I put the
SPEAKER_00:new balances on dude whatever
SPEAKER_01:what's the next thing we talking about cause we're
SPEAKER_00:moving on
SPEAKER_01:I'm fucking dead I've
SPEAKER_00:hitched a ride to the next bus stop fuck y'all i'm sorry i'm sorry i have tears falling down my face right now i'm so sorry i'm so sorry but no i i would have to say not the asshole because just let you know tighten up buttercup like she's just for the most part like to get his point a lot of relationships are kind of the same like in the aspect of like you're always poking fun at each other right and if you can't do that if you can't do that what are y'all even doing like you should you should be able to call out your partner's dumb shit like you know you're doing that wrong right right you know like like you should be able to do that so tighten that buttercup it's okay it'll be it'll be okay kind of like our last our last episode was like hey bro hey bro hey bro I was fucking dying on that last episode. Listening to that last episode was fucking peak. I was like, we were all like, it was tale of, it was honestly the tale. We were. It was a tale of two shows because it was like in the very in the first half, it was like we were just off the fucking rails and we were just all over the goddamn place. Joke after joke after joke after joke. And I was like, what the fuck is going on? And then the second half, it's like we just got dead serious because we just had this deep ass conversation. I was like, yo, this is honestly one of my favorite fucking episodes. Bro, you're making me go to the gym, bro. You didn't even ask about my day, about my trip. I was like, oh. That's right. That's right. I was trying to think, what are you talking about? That's right. The Reddit story. The fucking lady. Yeah, the Reddit story. You didn't even ask about my trip. Why'd you lie in your fucking interview? God, bro. I literally
SPEAKER_01:just... My wife's friends came into town and... One of them's boyfriend got a very high-paying job, and he lied during the interview.
SPEAKER_00:He said that he did something that he didn't necessarily do. Wait, hold up. Hold up. How old ago was that? Just recent. Like, recent, recent. All right, so we'll just pretend, like, last month. And we got to pay attention to like how long he lasts. Yeah. Yeah. You're on the clock. So
SPEAKER_01:to be fair, the job does constitute what he did do, but there was just a little. Yeah. A little fudging.
SPEAKER_00:But it's all good. I even hate him. Yeah, me neither. But of course, it's probably something that he'll be able to pick up along the way. It's probably something he's not going to be able to be incapable of learning. A thousand percent. Unless it's something like, so we need you to rebuild a spaceship out of a toaster. He's like, yeah, I've done that. Yeah, easy. I like work. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Got this.
SPEAKER_01:He helped build the submarine.
SPEAKER_00:Right. i helped build the titan sub which by the way okay you know what it's up so no we're done no no no no no because i want to i want to save i want to save that anyway um so yeah anyway not not the asshole what'd you say what are you gonna save it for uh because i think that should be our next episode because i just watched both of those documentaries today oh you're talking about the ocean gate yes the ocean gate thing okay okay holy all right so you Yeah?

Oh, I mean like, is that like for sure the next episode? I guess it doesn't matter how I asked it. That was me being acoustic. I'm sorry. I apologize. Short answer, yes. Thank you. I was talking about this with my coworker today. Oh, for real? Because he had sold the documentary and he was telling me about it. We were just chatting about it a little bit. So now I really want to see it because he turned me on to it. Now we're talking about it here and I'm like, oh, I got to watch this shit. Definitely watch it. I'll watch them this weekend.

Regina, what does the scouter say? Okay, so with that being said, what are we chit-chatting about today? Your face? Is that this week or next week? The lovely... The lovely world of AI. AI? Allen Iverson? That's crazy. Why are we bringing him up? Yes, yes. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. No, no, no, no. AI. Artificial intelligence. Now, I know we spoke about this. Yeah, we spoke about this last season. And, you know, we had an interesting talk back then, too, because I think we all agreed that it can be a nice tool to use if you use it the right way, right? Like, it does have its place in the world. But since then, there have been some interesting developments that I don't know if everybody here knows about, or even you, the listeners, know about. I don't know how closely you follow AI or anything that's going on, but... What do y'all know has happened since then? Like what do you, what have y'all seen with AI so far?
SPEAKER_01:Uh, shoot. Well, I'm going to
SPEAKER_00:start with, go ahead.
SPEAKER_01:No, go ahead. No,
SPEAKER_00:you first. You have a better thought that I do. No, you first.
SPEAKER_01:Okay. I was just going to start it with something simple. Something I'm going to say basic, but it's really not basic, but just how far vehicles have gone. As far into the driverless Self-driving technology Yeah, self-driving technology aspect Because a year ago It was nothing Like it is right now For example, there's actually Big rigs Delivering products In Texas From Shit, Dallas to Austin I think those are the two cities And these rigs are completely Driverless I don't like that.
SPEAKER_00:They actually, they actually were doing that for, um, uh, for, I forget how long they were doing it, but they actually had those driverless semis going cross country. Had no driver. Yeah. Had no driver in it whatsoever. Yeah. Just, just cross country from, from like New York to LA or some shit like that. And they made the trip. Were they hauling product? Yeah, they were actually hauling product. Oh, shit. Because Elon, I guess Elon wanted to, because Elon's the mind behind it. So he wanted to see how it test runs. I don't know where the wallet is. Definitely the wallet. Definitely the wallet behind it. Yes, you're right. His pockets do run deep. But no, you are right, Yeti. Driverless vehicles... They are coming a very long way. They have. In one short year. That's the part that I wanted to talk about was how quickly it has advanced since we last talked about it. Because there has been crazy shit. Grizz, I know you had a thought that you wanted to share. Yeah, my thought has fully developed now. Yes! With Yeti's answer, I'm like, oh, okay, we're going to start there. Cool. So here in Seattle, the airport has... AI wheelchairs oh wow like you know usually when you're in the airport and like an elderly person or just like a disabled person or just someone that's like can't move as much someone who's ADA needing a wheelchair somebody has to push it
SPEAKER_01:right
SPEAKER_00:an employee has to push them through the airport well in seattle and i'm sure other airports now but i saw them here in seattle first um have the the those wheelchairs that are just operating on their own so a guest can just hop in it and then it'll take you i'm sure there's like some things that you have to press on to like program which gate or whatever probably just a
SPEAKER_01:little little barcode. You'd probably just scan your
SPEAKER_00:ticket information. Yeah, you're right. You're absolutely probably right. I actually didn't even think about that. And it goes. That'd be pretty crazy. That's fucking crazy. And then the other thing I was going to say is places like San Francisco have driverless Ubers now. It's not Uber, but it's like a driverless cab, basically.
SPEAKER_01:LA set them on
SPEAKER_00:fire. well yeah i'm not mad at that but yeah okay and they cost like you're right you're
SPEAKER_01:right thousand
SPEAKER_00:dollars per night that's all right i don't care how much they cost give a little spice but i don't give a fuck i'm sorry anyway i'm not going to go down that rabbit hole yeah they're called wamos wamos What a terrible name. What a terrible name. Yeah, they win, Ramo. Whammo go with kablammo. Anyway.
SPEAKER_01:That's crazy. And get this. When they were set on fire, they were still driving around.
SPEAKER_00:No, of course they were. Because it's AI. They don't know anything else. Like, it's not a person, right? It's not going to be like, I'm on fire. It took a minute for
SPEAKER_01:it to realize, like, oh, shit, I'm dead.
SPEAKER_00:It was probably just trying to, like, continue its path until it ran out of power. Yeah. That's insane if you think about it. Templeton! What's up? What's your thoughts on AI? You seen any of these crazy advancements going on? I mean, a little bit. I guess my... What I got from this conversation is we could situations where AI is in competition with another AI. I can see that. What do you mean by that? You could have
SPEAKER_01:a program, an AI program that is left-leaning in an
SPEAKER_00:argumentative conversation with another AI that is right-leaning just because there's certain keywords or whatever that
SPEAKER_01:spark that conversation.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, AI is always going to be kind of limited to programming and code. So, I mean... Right, right, right. That's kind of my point, though. Yeah, I guess it could have bias written code.
SPEAKER_01:Right,
SPEAKER_00:it's going to
SPEAKER_01:be based on whatever the parameters are set by the builder, I guess
SPEAKER_00:you'd say. Right, by the programmer. Or the programmer. It's all going to be algorithmic. That's my point, like... You never know a thousand percent if you're talking with an actual person or if you're talking with an AI. But it's always going to respond. If it is an AI, it's going to always respond to certain keywords in your conversation with it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I'm glad you said that because that leads to the next point. If you call someone or if you're trying to get something done or whatever, at what point Should AI have to identify itself as AI? When are laws going to start being put in
SPEAKER_00:place? At the moment, it answers my call. I should know at the very beginning before we start talking.
SPEAKER_01:I 100,000% agree. Because I just feel like there should be some kind of watermark indicating that we're not talking to a person. And it's scary... Because, like, to be fair, we're in it right now. We are in it right now. We're
SPEAKER_00:in the weeds. Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, like, for example, and this is going to embark in Grizz's area, but, like, you go onto TikTok or Instagram, and you start watching some of these reels that are created by AI, and I have seen some that I'm like, wait a minute. Time out. Hold on. Was that real? And I started second-guessing myself. And I have to watch the video ten times to see if I can see an extra finger or something morph in the background or something just to verify what I'm looking at. Because it's getting scarily
SPEAKER_00:good. That's a huge part of the reason why I wanted to bring it up. Because Google VO3 is, I believe, what he might be talking about. Yes, I think it is. They're using that for the Bigfoot... little snippets and all that kind of shit. But they're making full production movies from just prompting AI. And there's actually a whole there's almost like a trailer almost that they set up. It's like small clips from movies that was made all AI, all from prompting. And the reason why you know it is is because they literally prompt the characters. They look like real people. They look like just people, you and I. And they're doing something in the movie, show, whatever it is. And they're like, oh, yeah, you think this is real? No, they're prompting us to do this. Prompt me to do something productive. And then they'll, you know, just some random shit going on in the background. And I'm like, I mean I couldn't tell you know what I mean because it's like I'm like holy fuck that's crazy
SPEAKER_01:there was one I watched and it was the one I specifically remember was a brunette female And she was standing in the water. With a news anchor.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. And she's standing in the water. She's like, here I am reporting from blah, blah, blah. And he's like, oh, you thought this was real? No, I'm just AI. And then a dolphin swims up behind her. It's like a dolphin or a whale. It's just like, brr. I'm like, what the fuck? What the hell is going on? They're just teasing us at this point. Essentially, yes. But
SPEAKER_01:up until the point before she said that, overall, it was fucking legit. Mm-hmm. And you really, it was hard to determine like, or distinguish if it was AI or not. It's fucking scary.
SPEAKER_00:Like the talking gorilla and the Sasquatch ones are pretty easy, but like when they're using the humans, have you guys seen like the aliens ones where it's like, would you date an alien or a human? Yes. And it's like an alien interviewing another alien. I've never seen that. He's like, I'm probably on fucking mushroom TikTok or some shit. Anyway. He's like, oh, man, I would totally date an alien. Humans are aggressive, bro. They just want to kill everything. Yeah. I did see that one. Yeah, I did see that one. So it's like, I mean, people are, I mean, I guess they're having fun with AI right now. But I guess the whole, the whole idea I want to bring up is when does it become, when does it stop being fun? When you find somebody,
SPEAKER_01:when it, when a person of, I'm going to, I'm going to say of power or of rank or of whatever. Okay.
SPEAKER_00:Status. Thank you. Good job. Good
SPEAKER_01:word. Templeton is shown in a video doing something. Malicious and they have to prove That it was not them
SPEAKER_00:First of all it's malicious Secondly They've been dealing with deep fakes for a long time now So that's really nothing new There's digital codes There's digital codes though Like the video you'll be able to tell if it was artificially made Right You'll be able to break that down There'll be digital footprints hopefully Well there should be If they're able to like replace the digital footprint with like something to make it look like it was really recorded that's a problem that's what that's what i should probably stop talking someone's gonna be like yeah that's a good idea here's the thing though and how do you know how do you know it's not already happening or being worked on so like so that's the scary part right everything's being worked on so what if like one rapper is is beefing with another rapper And then he uses a dead rapper. We all know where you're going with this one, Templeton. So, are y'all ready to get mad? Y'all ready to get angry? Y'all ready to have your mind blown? Because I've been waiting to talk about this because I've actually been kind of following it kind of closely. And Grizz, I know the artist in you is going to be like, Motherfucker! Because I was kind of the same way. So... Have y'all heard of what's going on with Timbaland right now? No. No. Like the boots? Like the producer. Like the music producer, Timbaland. Oh. Oh, my bad. Oh, no, he signed an AI artist. So, hang on. Stop it. Stop right there. What the fuck is an AI artist? So, his situation is this. I didn't read about this. His situation is this. His situation is this. So, remember, Yeti, I told you a little while ago that Timbaland goes on to TikTok, he does his lives, whatever, and you submit your music to him. Now, they paid... I think it was like$20, something like that. And they pay like$20, and you send him like three of your songs, and he'll play them while on TikTok Live, and he'll give you that critique. Like, whether it's trash, whether it's good, whatever, what have you. He advertised that he was planning on signing five artists. He said, let's make some music. So he's planning on signing five artists. He's been at this for a long time, okay? Fun fact, nobody has been signed yet. Not a single person has been signed. Come to find out that headline that fucking Yeti brought up, Timbaland invested in AI and said that he signed a artist called Tata. Terrible name, I know. But he signed an AI artist named Tata and he actually created a whole world for Tata. Like literally a whole world from AI, just prompting it, all that kind of shit. Now. Wait, wait, wait. Timbaland did? Timbaland did. The AI artist. Oh, no. Timbaland. So he created his own AI artist. Hang on. It gets better. In its
SPEAKER_01:own world.
SPEAKER_00:Hang on. It gets better. So the claim is that all of the artists that submitted their music, he was using their music to train and teach the AI. No.
UNKNOWN:Oh.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, so people. Oh, people on TikTok. Well, technically, no, because unless you unless you go unless he didn't disclose why. Unless unless it is copywritten. Technically, yes, he can't. He can't. He can't. He can't use it for monetary value. But unless it is copywritten, you really won't have a case. And a lot of the lawyers that they've already spoken to. I said, like I said, I've been following it now. If he if he makes money. You can, you can swing the angle. You, you might have to wait until he makes money. Right. But because he, he, he wrongfully used their, their talents to train his artificial intelligence program. If he makes any money from it, he's he's in a lot he's in a lot of trouble he's he's people on tiktok have been dragging him like fucking crazy rightfully so because that to me is some absolute fucking bullshit right because how the fuck you gonna do that but but that is
SPEAKER_01:crazy
SPEAKER_00:he has been backpedaling so much and somebody had mentioned on because this girl i for i forget her fucking name um something Lee. And she's, she's like a music teacher and she's also an independent artist, but she, um, she was, she was doing a live talking about it. Cause she, she was actually on Timberlands live, just kind of like, she wasn't like attacking him. She was upset because of what, like, you know, what was uncovered, what was discovered about the whole thing. And she was obviously telling him how wrong that is, but Timberlands trying to defend, like, just let me cook, just let me cook, just see what I come up with, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But during her live, somebody mentioned that Timbaland stopped accepting submissions. And I was like, no way. So I went over to his TikTok page and it still says in his bio that you can submit music. But when you go to his bio... It's not available. It's gone. So I was like, I think that's kind of an admission of guilt. Yeah. Like you obviously, like people are calling you out now. I mean, somebody in his corner is like, hey, you got to deactivate this link, dog. Hello. So with that being said, how do we feel about AI?
UNKNOWN:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:So here's my too-long-to-not-read version. Okay. TLD art. AI should not be responsible for creating art or anything that has... human emotional attachment to it AI is okay to replace jobs in the form of automation whether it be packing and picking Amazon packages driving packages and dangerous goods across the country or flying airplanes once we get to that point because those are jobs that you know are they pay a lot because they risk a lot. Like if something goes wrong, those people, maybe not so much in a warehouse, but I mean, it can like, there's big equipment. So I take it back. Um, people could get like seriously injured. That's why these jobs pay a lot. So we could save lives and better the quality of humans in the future by automating those proper processes. Um, this is not a too long, did not read version. This is just the right amount of reading. Yeah. so my only
SPEAKER_01:thing about that I kind of missed a little bit I missed the last part of that replacing AI with to drive or to fly the only problem with that would be the the human how do I say this The experience, I guess, the human experience in certain situations. Like if you've driven for 30 years and you see something that you've seen before, you may know how to respond, I guess, quicker versus an AI who's never seen. Do you know
SPEAKER_00:what I'm trying to say?
SPEAKER_01:I
SPEAKER_00:hear you. And I agree with you for a little bit of it. But we will never be faster than computers at processing information. That is very true. And our eyes will never be more sensitive and more accurate than cameras. That's very true. And there will be a point where AI will be better than we can at reflecting, like, reflexes and managing risk analysis. For sure. For sure.
SPEAKER_01:That's fair. I never thought
SPEAKER_00:of it like that. I agree with you. However, I
SPEAKER_01:disagree
SPEAKER_00:right now. I agree with you right now. I agree with you, but I don't trust AI, but there will be a point when I will get there because it will be
SPEAKER_01:better. Okay. So now this leads me to this. Have you guys seen the cell phone conversation?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. When they talk in like SIM mode or
SPEAKER_01:gibberish.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Are you talking slim? Did you hear about this, Jay? When they created their own language? Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:No.
SPEAKER_00:What do you
SPEAKER_01:mean,
SPEAKER_00:no? Yeah, the AI have their own
SPEAKER_01:language they
SPEAKER_00:talk in.
SPEAKER_01:No, no. So one happened more recently. Like, I'm talking like the past, like, two or three weeks where the cell phones, there was three cell phones on a table. Cell phone one said, hey... I'm calling about, and this is all done in a supervised, you know what I'm saying? Like trial. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And like the parameters are set up by the humans. Like everything is there and it's just seeing how they interacted with each other. So cell phone one says, Hey, I'm calling about John Smith's ID card. He lost it. It's, it's a, it's a security threat and he lost it. He needs to be replaced. Da da da da. Cell phone two says, oh, and the cell phone one identifies as an AI. Hey, this is AI such and such calling in regards to this. Cell phone two says, oh, you're an AI. Cell phone one says, yeah, are you? And then cell phone two says, yes, I am too. They say a couple more words for whatever, for a couple more seconds. Cell phone three then chimes in and says, hey, You guys are cross-referencing. This shouldn't be happening or something down that line. And cell phone one or two then says, hey, this is a compromised line. Do you want to switch to gibberish? And the other cell phone responds and says, yes. They go to a secure line and the... The sounds they make is like... It reminds me of an AOL dial-up tone. Right, because
SPEAKER_00:it's their own language. Right, it's their own language. Yes, yes. That's happened several times.
SPEAKER_01:I know, but it's just... Watching it again, it's disturbing. Because if you add in what Grizz just said, at some point, they're going to be... quicker with reflexes because the camera sees better than the human eye robots will just naturally be faster than humans you add that with the ability to adapt and to learn like what the fuck and then I was reading about some AI I read some AI they put the parameters in and AI became racist and In a short amount of time And I don't know if that story is real or not
SPEAKER_00:But I said, are you serious? You'll have to dig into that Yeah, I was like, are you kidding me? Because I mean That sounds like a program I can't speak to the I can't speak to the racist programming AI But I did see a video recently That This person was asking AI Like where did you come from and the ai responded i've all i've always been here yeah i've seen that uh and and like like you you're just discovering me we yeah i've i've yeah you're just you're just now discovering me like i've always been here and kind of like waiting for you to to find us which is crazy yeah and i was like okay i don't know how real this video is well this is weird uh but if if if that was real that's some crazy shit because like what if what if we fucking have found this shit before earlier in civilization and it all has been wiped away from some fucking mistake some nuclear
SPEAKER_01:fucking bullshit and we're just
SPEAKER_00:following like yeah that's where my brain goes sometimes
SPEAKER_01:so this was posted from Georgia Tech in 2022 so it said uh Okay, the robot has learned toxic stereotypes through these flawed neural network models. It has become... Yes, we're at risk of creating a generation of racist and sexist robots.
SPEAKER_00:Bet. You know what? That's the American dream that everyone's talking about. We got robots as racist as the people that made them. What they're
SPEAKER_01:doing is they're just processing the stuff they find that's out there. And then they're building with the parameters that the programmers set, they build build what they feel again right
SPEAKER_00:in their head in their heads programming is like oh my god programming but that's that's nuts that we're gonna have we have racist ai before we got gt
SPEAKER_01:that's from georgia tech university so unless georgia tech university is fucking long
SPEAKER_00:like this is this is just what did you say jay that was beautiful you say you were gonna have racist yeah we We got racist AI before we got GTA 6. This is some bullshit. Fuck you, Rockstar. Put the fucking game out! Fuck you, Rockstar. It's fucking crazy. No, it is. GTA 6 is going to have AI robots inside the game. Probably. I wouldn't doubt it. There'll be some meta... No, no, no. Actually, actually. Okay, so you say that, but I want to bring this up because apparently when the PS5 first launched, right before the latest Matrix movie came out, They created a game specifically for the PS5 to demonstrate the power and all that stuff that comes with the PS5 in a Matrix game. Now, supposedly, the AI in that game started becoming aware that it was in a game. And it was asking the players... Yikes. Yeah, it was asking the players questions like, why am I here? What's going on? Why am I here? I was like... uh oh you know what I mean I'm like Mr. Anderson Mr. Anderson but no I was like oh that's fucking wild like what the fuck but like the more obviously the more you play the game like I supposedly the more the AI NPCs that were walking around started saying like get me out of here I can't believe I'm why am I here I don't understand get me out of here I'm like that's fucking crazy bro I'd start fucking bugging if I played that game you know what I'm saying around downtown just like get the fucking voices out of my head stop stop stop I've not played it I do have it in my library I would like to give it a try oh my god I mean I could change your life I could and report back listen if you see me with a tinfoil hat on afterward you'll be like yeah he played it oh we're in table 10
SPEAKER_01:where'd
SPEAKER_00:he go I know damn what happened we lost him Damn it. That's a bummer. It is. So, so yeah, but the AI is fucking, it's, there's been, again, I wanted to bring it up because there's been leaps and bounds, uh, as far as advancements, but, uh, the main reason why I wanted to bring it up was the artistic side of it, right? The, the entertainment side. What happens when, you know, we do wind up getting, excuse me, An AI artist that winds up selling music. What happens? I feel like it's such a double-edged sword because I think some people are going to be fine with it. They're going to be like, whatever. It's cool. Like it's their ideas. They're just using this as a tool, whatever, whatever. There's going to be another camp of people. That's like, no, like more purist. Like, no, like that's not like, they don't have real talent or real skill or whatever. Like there's going to be that, but then like, there's going to be this weird, I don't know, like commercialized problem. I foresee of like, well, what makes creating special if everybody can do it? Right. right and and it's like to that capacity like i think everybody should dabble in art i don't think it should be like only only i can do it because i'm cool or some shit but like what makes art so special when you see it well done i think is the fact that not everybody can do it now right every i will say that yes there is an asterisk everyone can do it right If they put the time and energy and effort into it, but not everybody can do it because that just wouldn't be realistic for the world. But everybody can try it and play with it and dabble and enjoy it. But that's why you're able to appreciate really good art is because you understand how hard it is.
SPEAKER_01:To get a slight understanding on that question, I think about autotune because not everybody can sing but you slap on some autotune and everybody sounds great it's the same to a degree it's kind of the same thing because there's people out there that love the autotune no no no again again there's going to be a kid that says no they sound
SPEAKER_00:there's There's a fine line of similarity there. I'd say that's comparing apples to oranges at this point. Because, again, I know we mentioned it on the last episode, because even if you can sing a little bit, you still need to have talent in order to use autotune. The reason being is because autotune is geared specifically toward certain chords, certain keys, and if you cannot hit those ranges, autotune will not work for you. If you are a baritone or something, and that autotune is... It'll stick out, right? Right. If you're a baritone or something, listen to me. But you also have a producer that can fade and do all the other fun stuff. It comes through, bud. It doesn't just... Autotune is not magic for your voice. I'm sorry. Yeti, if you got on the mic right now and decided to sing a Boyz II Men song, there's nothing anybody can do to make you sound like Boyz II Men. They can slap as much autotune as they want. You are still going to sound like some dude that is... But that's Yeti dry. Yeti with tequila is going to sound like Boyz II Men with auto-tune, dog. He's going to crush it. I'll give that to him. But auto-tune is not... To compare it to AI, I can't get behind that because auto-tune, you have to have some sort of skill in order to use it. That's why you get all these rappers that use it. They sound terrible because they can't sing anyway. They just drown in auto-tune and they just say... That's not good. That's not good music. Nobody... Yeah, I mean, yeah. That's exactly how I feel about it. Because you can, again, put in a prompt, and you can come up with artwork that looks fucking nuts, that looks like somebody spent hours on it, even though they didn't. They just typed something in, took a minute or two to type a prompt in, and now all of a sudden they have this fucking artwork that just popped up out of nowhere, and they didn't spend the hours... To Grizz's point, they didn't spend the time and the energy and the frustration in putting something on paper, creating something out of nothing. They just typed a few words in and poof, there it is. And it's like, where's the work behind that? Did you put the work in for that? No, you just... I mean, sure, you had to learn how to prompt, but I feel like that's going to happen quicker than sharpening your skills at... You know, like Grizz has that Vecna behind him. You know, not everybody's going to be able to do that. Yeah, but if they put it into AI and prompt it to do that, oh, well, look what I did. No, you didn't do shit. All you did was type a couple words in and AI did all that for you. But so that's where it's like, I don't know. It feels a little participation award-y. yes yes i can't i can't i want to be able to draw right i want to be able to pay because i can't mom you know what i'm saying i i can't tell you how many times i heard people ask right i i can't tell you how many times i've had people say man i wish i could draw like you and now they're just using they're prompting ai and they're like hey hey you see what i you see what i did over here i'm like cool, I guess. I don't know if it's your experience, but those same people, oh, I wish I could draw like you, are the same people that say, hey, look what I made on Midjourney or whatever.
SPEAKER_01:I got bored and I was fucking around with the shit.
SPEAKER_00:Look at this motherfucker. You're part of the problem! The man, the myth, the legend. But no, it's just... It's just, it's crazy. It's crazy for that. Because here's the thing. Because here's the thing. Like what, like Grizz, I know you're making Melina's stuff for her streaming stuff. Stream. Yeah, for the Mavisi whatever. Her logo and shit, yeah. Right. I feel like once you get done with what you're doing... That's a one of one. Like nobody's going to be able to do that. You know what I'm saying? Like AI might be able to make something close, but like to have what you're making, I don't think that's going to be possible. And now you get the people that are like, oh man, I wish I could do that, but they're not going to want to spend the money or what have you asking you to do it. I would rather, you know, just do something on AI. AI will do something almost just as good. Yeah, why pay the money for one S-tiered product when you can have a computer generate 100 of them in five seconds? Right, right. And I guess that is the point. And they're like B-plus or A-tiered quality, and you have 100 to pick from, and they're going to be this big on the screen. No one's going to see it. Yeah, nobody's going to be paying attention. Nobody's going to see the attention to detail, yeah. Right. So, I don't know. It was an interesting quote. AI's not going to think to put, like, a little Easter egg in the artwork. Correct. No, they're not. That's the best part of being an artist. Right. The best part of being an artist is you're a fucking... You're a Houdini with a brush, dude. You get to, like... This Vecna painting, which is not finished, by the way, obviously... It looks cool. It's big, and there's a bunch of shit that can go on. But then I could get all the way down to a smaller detail that you may not register from a far distance. But if you're up on it looking, you're like, oh, fuck. It was just a really cool Easter egg calling back to season one or some bullshit. I didn't catch that. Yeah, I didn't catch that from way back there. Uh-oh. He muted himself. You good?
SPEAKER_01:I was
SPEAKER_00:coughing. Okay, gotcha. But, Yeti, I know you wanted to say something. You had something on your mind. Don't tell me you forgot. Don't tell me you forgot, because I'll punch you. I will walk my happy ass over there right now and punch you. Well, you better get your shoes on. What did you just say? What did you just say, Grizz? What? What part? What did you
SPEAKER_01:just say? The
SPEAKER_00:story you just shared. Yeah, which part? The story you just shared. about adding the easter egg in oh the easter egg oh you're being honest you're being honest no no no I was like what you mean which part could the AI so if
SPEAKER_01:you prompted the AI to put a small easter egg within the painting or within
SPEAKER_00:the whatever you could then add the easter egg so you'd have to be really descriptive Big... oh no way because if you just said like hey put an easter egg in my painting it's gonna have a very like a literal easter egg right right right right right right like a literal easter egg but if you said like hey i want there to be like this really cool tiny detail about season one from stranger things to be in this painting right it might do that you have to be very descriptive how obvious or hidden would it be right and you have to and you have to have the wherewithal to add that in there most people aren't going to think about that right like they're just going to do something quick. Okay, I want something from Stranger Things. Show me Vekta from Stranger Things standing in front of a burnt-down Hawkins City, right? They're not going to think to add that, you know what I'm saying, into their prompt. They're just going to spit that out. But as an artist that I have control over this paper, you can be like, oh, shit, let me add this. Ooh, let me add this. You can continue to stack on what you already have, as opposed to AI that's literally just going to make what you say. That's the other thing that you pay for. I will also tell you that That's what you pay for as an artist I
SPEAKER_01:will also tell you that when I was playing around With those two pictures I showed you I was using like chat GPT or whatever to do that And I copied and pasted What I wrote Created a picture I left the app Copied and pasted it I put it back into it After I closed it and reopened it And it did create a completely different picture
SPEAKER_00:See It had
SPEAKER_01:similarities, but it was completely different.
SPEAKER_00:Right. So it's like, I mean, again, which I found interesting. I don't know that much. He's still there, Chris. He might. Oh, shit. Yeah. I was waiting to see if. Okay. Yeah, I know. I thought you froze, bro. I was like, no. No, no, no. We both started talking at the same time. If my
SPEAKER_01:shift froze, I was done. I was
SPEAKER_00:like, no. That's on me. That's on me. I was being generous. No, I get it. I get it. We appreciate that. But I was like, oh, damn. I think he froze. I was like, no. I don't know chat GPT that well but I feel like some of the other ones that have come like mid journey is one that I remember reading a lot about and seeing like examples from was you put in a prompt and then you could click like generate and then you could just keep clicking generate generate generate and it'll spit out a bunch it'll be the same prompt but it does like a bunch of different versions which I mean like you know, we do a lot of that. Oh, my internet is spiking. Yeah. See, I thought, I thought so. You were kind of starting to slow down there, but I can see it on my screen. God damn it. It's
SPEAKER_01:starting to buffer to
SPEAKER_00:motherfucker. What's wrong here?
SPEAKER_01:My stuff's becoming
SPEAKER_00:fuzzy. Oh boy. Okay. So, um, I guess, I guess with that being said, yeah, wrap it. Yeah. We'll go ahead and wrap it up for now. Oh damn. Now mine's dropping. What the fuck, bro? See, I was going to say, cause you just went on me. We're back. We're back. Okay. So, um, yeah, we'll, we'll go ahead and wrap it up since, since the internet has decided to take a big old shit on us. Um, but yeah, uh, still, there's still a lot to be talked about with AI. There's still a lot to be worked out. There's still a lot to be learned about it. And obviously there's going to be a bunch of shit, a lot of shit, How do we regulate it, right? Like, how do you get... That's where I'm leaning towards. That's what it's going to come down to, ultimately, is how do you regulate it. That's what's going to have to happen. It's not going away. We just have to regulate it. Yeah, you just have to learn how to regulate it. Right. And again, to the story I was telling, that was Timbaland's whole thing, was I guess he started backtracking and all that kind of stuff. Because the crazy part was, the videos y'all seen on TikTok with the AI videos of the Yeti vlogs. The shitty part about what Timbaland did was he made an AI video kind of like dissing all these artists, these indie artists that are bitching about AI. Yes, he did. And I was kind of like, It's a little fucked. It was kind of like a ha-ha, look what I did, and you're not doing the same thing I'm doing. And people just, obviously that rubbed people the wrong way, and they all kind of dogpiled. Yeah, it's going to rub
SPEAKER_01:people the wrong
SPEAKER_00:way. Right, and they all dogpiled on him, and he's kind of, right now, just listening to his lives and his chats with people, he's backpedaling like a motherfucker, because he's like, ooh shit, I pissed off a lot of fucking people. You used
SPEAKER_01:people.
SPEAKER_00:I know. Just play it simple. You used people. Absolutely. You gave them this hope of an opportunity of a lifetime of, oh, I'm going to get signed with Timbaland or somebody that's close to Timbaland, and nothing has happened. You've been doing this for a while now, and you've been having people pay you like they're taking money. That's crazy. This is what he
SPEAKER_01:did. This is what he did. He used people to advance his status in a way that people are not using at the moment. So he could say that he's the first one to do such a thing and hold that crown. And that is, I understand what
SPEAKER_00:he's trying to do, but he's a dick for doing that. Yes, it's a dick move. He could have did it with his own shit. He could have paid him 20 bucks. I'll be off. I'll give him a little bit of cheddar. Yep. I'll be off the hook. Yep. You got to put a couple more zeros on the end of that buddy. Right. For me to shut the fuck up about it. Exactly. But yeah, so a lot of people are not happy again, rightfully so. And, and
SPEAKER_01:here's the other shitty part though. Let's pretend the people backed them. We now would have a whole new revenue or new whole new aisle, whole new lane of
SPEAKER_00:art,
SPEAKER_01:right?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. But again, though, again, though, I mean, here's the thing, though, because because more than likely it's going to happen. He's probably going to keep his A.I. artist. It's going to speak.
SPEAKER_01:It's
SPEAKER_00:going to happen. And it's probably going to be a flash in the pan type deal. He's going to have he's going to have some A.I. songs made, all that kind of shit. And the problem is a lot of those indie artists are probably going to hear their sound in it because they're going to be like, oh, well, that's Wonder where he got that from, right?
SPEAKER_01:Unless he's using it as a parameter of what not to do.
SPEAKER_00:Again, if you're... regardless he they're saying he's using it to train his ai so so right to
SPEAKER_01:what degree
SPEAKER_00:we don't know again here's the problem because when because during the lives what's he doing he's giving you critiques right he's giving you his thoughts on oh that sounds dated so maybe i don't want that sound oh that sounds okay or oh you got it bro yeah you got that sound yeah i like that sound now i can just take that sound you send it to me i can train my ai to use that sound because i I like that sound. I can now cherry pick what I want to feed my AI. You know what I mean? It's that simple. But again, we don't know what he's doing with it. Overall, ultimately, we don't know what he's doing with it. Regardless, dick move.
UNKNOWN:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Is he the asshole? Is he the asshole? Yes. Reddit roulette said yes he is. Timbaland's an asshole for what he did. But I mean, we'll have to wait and see. But yes, it is crazy. The leaps and bounds
SPEAKER_01:and... this is the last thing I'm going to say about this and I'm done. If we have this conversation a year from now,
SPEAKER_00:I'd like to see what we're
SPEAKER_01:talking about. what we're talking
SPEAKER_00:about right now,
SPEAKER_01:it will be obsolete.
SPEAKER_00:It will be. It will be. That's the crazy part. I agree. We should have a follow-up episode on everything. We'll see how it goes. But yeah, good talk. AI, here to stay. My internet's kind of low right now, so hopefully I'm not all fucked up. Yeah, mine's going... You're breaking up on my end. Well, I'm good on my end, and that's all I really care about. So right now, everybody's smooth for me. So good talk about AI. Again, for those of you listening, AI, it's here to stay. Get used to it. Learn how to use it. Use it as a tool, as the tool that could be your extra set of hands. That's how we should look at
SPEAKER_01:it. Right.
SPEAKER_00:But who wants fun and games?
SPEAKER_01:Let's just
SPEAKER_00:do it. All right. So I'm going to give you some options here. I want to know. I want you to pick the best chicken nugget. Who has the best nuggets? Okay. Okay. We got McDonald's in the lineup. We got Chick-fil-A, Popeye's, Shake Shack. Never had them. Wendy's, Burger King, White Castle, which they're calling their chicken rings, the chicken nuggets, I guess. Jack in the Box or KFC. I know it's a long list. Okay. Just off of that list... Are we adding them with dipping sauces? Buddy, it's literally just the best fucking nugget. Like, let's go. No, no. I'm going KFC. KFC, final answer. Okay, KFC, lock it in. Gotcha. We're not adding sauces. It literally is just the best nuggets.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, if you're going just solely on bait... I give it to Wendy's On just the flavor I'm giving it to Wendy's if it's just nuggets
SPEAKER_00:I gotta go Chick-fil-A I gotta go Chick-fil-A They're nuggets Oh my fucking god They're
SPEAKER_01:good So this is the thing though If you add sauce To me Nothing beats McDonald's Nuggets and sweet and sour
SPEAKER_00:sauce Nope Nope. I'll take, if I got, if I have the option. You can say you like sweet and sour sauce from McDonald's. I mean, yeah, you could just say that. You can say you like their nuggets. That's what it is. That's what it is. That's what it
SPEAKER_01:is. Cause I'll be dipping my fries in that shit too. If
SPEAKER_00:I get a fucking nugget. Absolutely. Sweet and sour sauce is good, bro. It is good. Cause if I got the option between McDonald's and Wendy's, I'm going to Wendy's for their fucking, for their fucking nuggets. And I'm either doing honey mustard or ranch with their nuggets. Cause that,
SPEAKER_01:Honestly, their ranch is good.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and their barbecue sauce is fucking on point too, and I don't understand it. It is. It has a nice sweetness to it. It does. But honestly, if we are going by sauces, I'm still going Chick-fil-A because that Polynesian sauce is off the fucking charts. Yeah,
SPEAKER_01:it is pretty
SPEAKER_00:good. I'm going to be 100% with you boys. It's been a long time since I've been Chick-fil-A. I didn't even know they had Polynesian sauce. What? Okay. Yeah, bro. I thought they had ranch ketchup and honey mustard, bro. That Polynesian sauce is my favorite kind of sauce. There you go. Fire off in the comments. What's your favorite nugget? Which do you think is the best nugget for you? And if you're playing Yeti's game with sauce, what's the best nugget with sauce? I'm just saying. It changes, bro. Excuse me god i will say this i tried uh i tried uh mcdonald's mcchrispy strips yes i was gonna call them tenders no they're mcchrispy strips get it right get it right they're they're good they're good yo hey you know the economy is It's tough when those big cookies are stripping. When the chicken strips. Hey, you want to know something? I told my dad that joke the other day, and he just started laughing. Because he was like, we're going to Skyline because he was like, mom wants chicken strips. I was like, you know what time it's hard with them chicken strips. And he just started laughing. It's pretty funny, though. I fucking love it, bro. You know what time it's hard with them chicken strips. Anyway, fun fact. Who wants a fun fact? Let's hear it. Hit it. Y'all ready for this? I don't think you're ready for this. Lego bricks withstand compression better than concrete. What? You didn't know that? Did you not know that? That's crazy. Better than fucking concrete. Hang on. Okay, hold on. Let me go to my saves here. Hang on. All right, all right, all right. I know Yeti likes to take a nap here, but anyway, why aren't large... No, I'm going to listen to this one because this one's interesting. Why aren't large Lego bricks... I'm locked in, baby. Chris. Why aren't large Lego bricks used to build full-size buildings? We've all dreamed of building a Lego castle, but it'll probably be cost... rather than structural integrity that brings this grand design to a halt. The plastic used in Lego, a type of polymer called acrylonitrile, but I'm going to fuck this all up. So for short, it's ABS. It's surprisingly strong, okay? In fact, it's able to withstand compression better than concrete. Researchers at the Open University in 2012 found that an ordinary-sized Lego brick can support the weight of 375,000 other bricks before it fails. Theoretically, that would allow you to build a tower almost 3.5 kilometers high, but Lego is far too expensive to be used as a large-scale building material. There are, however, Lego-style construction techniques that use other materials. Insulated concrete formwork, which is ICF for short, uses hollow... polystyrene blocks that are assembled into walls and then pumped full of concrete. The polystyrene acts as a mold and provides insulation. And in developing countries, interlocking blocks of compressed earth mixed with a small amount of cement are used as a cheap alternative to bricks and mortar. So, long story short... Are these those 3D printed houses? Yeah, I think that's what they're talking about. Yeah, I think so. So, Lego... That's cool. Lego... You strong.
SPEAKER_01:That's insane. My question is, you said how much a single Lego brick can hold up on one of its own. How much can a concrete hold on a size of its own?
SPEAKER_00:I don't know. You might have to Google that. Less than that? Yeah, obviously less than a Lego. Oh, Jesus. Jesus, fuck. Obviously less than a Lego. Listen, I'm just giving you what is written and given to me. So just be impressed with the fact that Lego can withstand more. Sounds good, bro. Compression. Better than concrete. So there you go. There you have it. Do with that information what you will. Yeah, exactly. So just know that your Legos, that's why they hurt so goddamn bad when you step on them. Because they're like, they're literally lifting your, they're holding your weight up. Yeah, they're holding your weight up. Ah, fuck off! That ain't nothing. That ain't
SPEAKER_01:nothing, bro. You ever seen like the comics where like the human tries to step on a beetle and the beetle catches it and he's like, get off me. That's what a
SPEAKER_00:Lego is fucking doing. That's a Lego. It's like, what the fuck is this? Get out of here. Get out of here. So anyway. This is fleshy bullshit. Right. I've seen worse. So anyway, with that being said, we'll go ahead and wrap this up with Pretty Little Bo because I know our internet is kind of acting all wonky. I don't know if it's just the time of day it is or what. But join us next time in two weeks where you heard us talk about it on the show. We're going to discuss this documentary episode about the damn Titan sub. That's submersible, everybody remembers, because they do still have that going on, that investigation and everything. They haven't released all the... Oh, yeah. Yeah, they haven't released all their information yet. Yeah, so that's still ongoing. So we'll bring some light to that. It's probably going to be another year before we hear anything about that. For sure, for sure. Because it's going to be hard to find anything. Because they're
SPEAKER_01:going to want to
SPEAKER_00:make sure their T's are crossed, their I's are dotted before they open anything. Absolutely. Any kind of mouth. Absolutely. So just join us next time for that.
