I kind of do 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:58.640 know what that means, but there you go, celebrate appropriately. 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.440 And it's National Banana Bread Day today, so celebrate eating 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.920 banana bread.

Oh yeah, the banana bread. 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.520 I know, the banana bread. Did I think the Tutsi 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.720 role was popular for great grandparents? 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:30.720 Yes, my grandfather loved the Tutsi roll, loved it, loved it. 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:34.920 It starred. You want some tushy Tucci Tutsi. 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:38.360 Rollshy how your family got started? 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:44.399 Well, well, there you go. That's funny. It's national Tutsy 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.040 roll today. So here's some fun facts on Tutsi rolls. 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:53.040 Leo Hirshfield, an immigrant, opened his candy shop in Brooklyn 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:59.600 in eighteen ninety six and he sold this jelly powder thing. 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:04.880 In nineteen oh seven, he submitted the patent for the 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:09.440 development of what became the Tutsi role. He named the 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:14.520 candy after his daughter, Claire, whose nickname was Tutsi. So, 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:19.679 all right, there you go Tutsi and became very popular 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.680 right away. So this guy in nineteen oh seven got 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:29.600 the patent and by nineteen oh eight they were selling everywhere. 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:34.239 And then this guy made a fortune selling Tutsi roles 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:40.160 and then sold the company later on and the rest 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:44.160 is history. But it was born nineteen oh seven and 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:49.560 named after the daughter, and it's been tremendously popular. 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:54.640 That was crazy because last weekend. On the flight home 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:59.200 from San Jose to lax CoA, sabb bust out a 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:03.560 tutsi role up and man Brenda gave me the side 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:07.240 eye because she didn't want him having a sticky candy, 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.760 but he held it like a pro. I just texted 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.240 you the photo I took while we were taking off. 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:18.240 He's holding his very first fitzi roll pop en. Did 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.400 he enjoy the experience? 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:20.639 Oh? 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:22.519 Man? The problem was we thought he was going to 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.080 choke to death on this thing because he shoved it 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.880 in his mouth and then just held it there, trying 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.960 to devour the entire tutsi roll pop. 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.600 Oh, I see, I'm looking at the photo here. Yeah, 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:39.200 he looks so very He looks confident and satisfied and 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:40.880 happy at the same time. He's got all a lot 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:41.120 of them. 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.800 Yeah, got the stick He turned into a pro quickly. 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.280 And they say, how many bites to the center of 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.400 the Titsi roll pop? Well, for CoA, it was two bites. 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.960 Two bites, that's all you need right there, but two bites. 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:54.880 And then his mom took it away and said, don't 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.440 you ever take one of those out in front of 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:56.960 him again. 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.680 Dah man, Mom, He's got to be the party pooper, 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:01.240 bad job. 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:02.960 Yeah, I'm always in trouble. 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:08.840 Ah man, oh they uh you mentioned World War Two, 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.920 which you for the Tutsi role. Tutsi roles were included 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:17.400 as a ration during World War Two because they didn't sport. 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.080 It makes sense, and I think in some of our 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:23.440 Halloween bags we got Tutti roles that were still from 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:24.800 that same war. 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.040 World War Yeah. Yeah, Frank Sinatra supposedly loved Tutsi roles. 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.360 He was a big fan of the Tutsi roll. Wow. 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.680 Yeah, how come in the in the pop they taste good, 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:39.359 But just the Tutsi roll itself, you know, the long ones, 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.320 especially if they were hard Tutsi roll.

We was just talking about 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.800 that yesterday the San Diego Zoo. Dave in San Diego 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.640 rights and he says, hey, Ben and Danny, I saw this. 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.640 I thought of you two guys. The Border Patrol has 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:03.560 seen more people smuggling eggs on the southern border because 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:07.440 of the ridiculous prices that are being charged for eggs 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.440 at stores like Costco and whatnot. You guys want to 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:15.560 get in on a little side hustle as we bootleg eggs. 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.960 Dave in San Diego, how much money you think we 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:24.240 can make at this? That's my father, my grandfather. Now 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:25.640 this is a story I heard as a kid. I 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.039 don't know if it's true or not, but there was 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:28.920 like a family legend. I think somebody might have been 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:32.440 just trying to impress me that my grandfather, during a 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:36.600 prohibition at least a couple of times did some bootleg 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.080 to bring and he was living in Massachusetts and he'd 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:43.839 go up to Canada get some booze and bring it back. 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.719 That's the legend in the family. Nice. 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.480 So I think, Dan, all these years later, you go 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:53.040 to Costco and get Kirkland brand outoll for your get togethers. 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:56.080 Yes, yes, well we've come a long way, baby, But no, 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.159 I think we could go down to Tijuana on like 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:04.000 Tuesday morning and then get a truck. I'll rent a truck, 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.400 we'll fill it up with eggs, and then we'll come 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:11.920 back and we'll stand outside Costco and we'll whisper to people, 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.200 I got eggs, eggs, egzag, you know, something like that, 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.680 and then Dave can be the middle man. He can Actually, 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.960 I guess Dave could go to Tijuana get the eggs. 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.680 But they're still cheap in Tijuana, right, That's what I heard. 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.400 They're in Mexico. They're still cheap, but here they're not 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:29.040 luinging eggs. Think of all the eggs we wasted as kids. 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.960 Oh yeah, yeah, In fact, yeah, my wife was pointing 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.560 out some of the people are still getting egged. You know, 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.960 kids are still egging other kids. That's a much more 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.920 expensive prank now than we were little, right when we 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.720 were in high school and you'd egg somebody's car or 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.480 something like that, or or their house. But now you 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.240 can't be doing that, which it doesn't eggs. 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:53.880 Yeah, I can't toilet paper people's homes anymore either, unless 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:55.119 you take out a small loan. 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.960 Yeah, that's blasphemy. You can't do it, especially after the 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.560 COVID thing. That's the most valuable resource we have in 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:06.440 a global disasters, toilet paper, bottle of water, and now 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:11.280 it's eggs. John from Hartford, Connecticut writes, and he says, Guys, 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.360 I don't know if you saw this story this week, 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.600 but as a proud resident of Connecticut, I wanted to 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.400 get your thoughts on it. And he sent me a 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.400 link to a story that says the state of Connecticut 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.120 is trying to convince the United States all the other 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:31.880 states that it is the pizza capital of the United States. 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:35.560 So when you think of pizza, Danny, and this is 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:37.120 not the question from John, he just want to know 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.400 our thoughts. So when you think of pizza, what do 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:43.040 you think of When I think of pizza, I think 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.640 of Chicago, and I think of New York. When I 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.599 think of pizza in America, I do not think the 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.640 first thing I think of it New York. I think 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.080 of New York pizza, but I also think of Chicago 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:58.080 Deep dish pizza. The state. According to the story what's 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:02.000 his name, John sent they found that there are thirteen 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:07.560 hundred and seventy six pizza restaurants in Connecticut, and New Haven, 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:12.360 Connecticut has sixty three of them. And they claim that 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:16.280 Connecticut leads the national rankings when it comes to pizzeria's 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:22.840 per capita locally owned establishments. So they're pumping this up here, Danny, 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:29.280 that per capita they are nambarwan. And this story has 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:34.079 a link from the state controller or no, not straight controler, 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:38.400 the state comptroller. I don't know what that is in Connecticut, 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:43.679 and it highlights the multi billion dollar pizza industry in Connecticut. 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.840 Have you seen that meme about Pittsburgh. They have a 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:51.040 Pittsburgh style pizza where they bank the dough and then 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:55.760 they put raw ingredients, all the ingredients uncooked on top 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:56.880 of the baked dough. 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.760 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is the thing. I thought that 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:03.439 was fake, but it's it's legit. I don't I don't 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.640 think it's all over Pittsburgh. I think it's like a 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:09.559 little small part of Pittsburgh. But it's disgusting. 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:10.120 It is. 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:14.319 Yeah, they put cold cheese and the pepperoni or whatever 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.280 on there. Yeah, nasty, that's brutal. 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:17.960 Man. 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.080 So they say number of pizza restaurants, and then per 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:24.840 ten thousand people, they say that Connecticut is number one, 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:28.040 Like we're in California, we do the show from LA 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:33.880 it's forty fortieth. New York is fourteenth. They've got they've 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:37.760 got a graph. This is what John, your tax dollars 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:41.200 are doing there in Connecticut. You're you're you're getting graphs 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:45.760 on pizza restaurants from the State Comptroller Office for the 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:51.400 state of Connecticut. And it's kind of per highest family 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:56.200 owned independent pizza restaurants Connecticut at seventy eight point eight. 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:57.560 This is unbelievable. 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.240 I mean, this is well, they need something and to 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:04.160 rept their state, not just Aaron Ornandez oh Man. 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:10.040 That's that's nuts. This goes us six pages of pizza propaganda, 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.600 six pages of it. That is that is wild to me. 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:17.320 So no, I appreciate you sending me the story. 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:17.600 John. 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.400 I did not see that this week in my copious 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.600 amounts of research for the show. But there it is 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.080 Connecticut the pizza capital, unless it's not. 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:28.080 Now. 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.640 Connecticut's where a lot of people that live in New 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.400 York or work in New York live, and then they 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.920 drive into the city or take the train into the city, 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.720 and then they go back. And I briefly worked in 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.920 Connecticut for a year. I had a job at NBC. 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:47.319 This goes back twelve thirteen years ago. I think it's 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.199 been longer than that, even it's twenty twenty five. But 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:55.760 we had a gig in in Connecticut. We flew back 0:11:55.760 --> 0:12:00.439 there every every month for a year and did the 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:04.920 TV once like for a week. And I don't remember 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.520 the pizza being amazing. I mean it was fine, it 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:12.520 was whatever. And I did eat at Bobby V's restaurant 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:16.920 a lot. Bobby Valentine the the manager of the Mets 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.640 and the he's I think he's still a broadcaster for 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:25.280 the UH for the what do you call it the Angels, right, 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.040 I mean last year he was I don't. 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:28.560 Know if it still is. What did you have to 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:32.240 do there when Aaron Hernandez had you sworn into his gang? 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.000 Well, you know it, you know he did most of 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.040 the work, Danny, I didn't have to do much. 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.520 It was yeah, you're at the lookout. 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:47.200 Thank you for the story. But I think, do you 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.480 think I'm looking right now to see if Bobby V's 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.280 is still open? I was wondering. It's been been a 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.200 long time since I've been there. It's in Stanford, Connecticut, 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:59.199 which is most famous Stanford, Connecticut for being the headquarters 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:07.520 of Professional the WWE has their world global offices in Stamford, Connecticut. 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:12.000 But there are two locations, three locations, No, no, no, two 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:16.840 locations of Bobby Bobby V's. Okay, what is next? Alf 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.480 from the powder room rights into the mail bag. He says, 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.000 have either of you, gentlemen, ever reached your move goal 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:26.000 on your Apple Watch while dropping a deuce on the toilet? 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:30.880 I'm asking for a friend humble brag bucket list from 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:37.160 Alf in the powder room. No, No, I have not. 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.400 I have started to work out more since the TV 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:45.319 show ended, but I do not recall ever while partaking 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.960 on the throne there crossing over the rubicon. I do 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:52.400 not think that's happened. Alf also says, I'm not really 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.000 that bad at scrabble? Is that how you treat all 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.720 your radio friends. Yeah, so, Alf, A couple of fans 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:00.760 of the show have hooked up with me on the 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:05.480 Scrabble game on the iPhone and the smartphone and all that, 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:11.160 and so far I'm not lost to a listener. That's 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:16.800 a bit of my passion. Alf is the game. I'm 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:20.920 in it to win it, and so Alf and Noah 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:26.320 in Austin, I have been partaking in Scrabble playing those guys, 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:30.720 and I'm absolutely destroying Alfie. 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.480 Yeah, well, it would probably help if we're smarter than 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:34.200 a fifth grader? 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:36.360 How dare you, Danny g Alf? 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.040 Well, no, that's a new game coming out soon, right, 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.120 I want to see how many of your listeners are 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:43.440 smarter than a fifth grader? 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.680 Well, or smarter than the FSR Tech Queen, which is 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:52.160 I think, like yeah exactly, maybe like third grade. I 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:53.080 don't know, who knows that. 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.720 Do you think you will ever get beaten by a 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:58.880 listener at Scrabble? Yeah? 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:03.000 Yeah, I mean I don't play great every game. I'm 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.720 sure there's I might even lose to alf who knows 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:09.120 or Noah. I'm doing well right now. See these guys, 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.960 they'll get me, you know. We play over a couple 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.000 of days I'm not on my phone all the time 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.440 playing scrabble. But at some point they're going to catch 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:18.800 me where I'm kind of distracted and I'm not paying 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:22.720 that close attention, and then I'm cooked and and I'll lose. 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:24.040 I mean I do lose every once in a while. 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:28.000 JJ from Jacksonville writes in he says, hey, Ben and 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:32.640 Danny like the pod, you think they should put gators 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.440 in the sewers in La in Vegas to keep people 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.760 out like we have here in Florida. And he sent 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:43.200 me a story where there's research out this week that 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:49.000 thousands of animals, including hundreds of alligators and snakes, are 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:54.320 living in the Gainesville sewage system. They are hunting, they 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.800 are traveling, they are living their lives. They are breeding 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:03.480 inside the ground of Jacksonville, the sewage system. 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.400 That must be chicken beer bear and getting it on 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.440 underneath the street there. 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.720 It's like teenage mutant ninja turtles. But it's the real deal. 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:17.440 And these these gators not, of course, crocodiles. These are 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:21.800 American gators, not the crocodiles which are common in Florida. 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:26.000 They normally reside in marshes, swamps, rivers, farms, farm ponds 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:31.320 and lakes, and they aren't the only the only ones 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:34.480 known to roam there, they said. According to an urban naturalist, 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:39.200 the reptiles were recently documented traveling throughout the sewage system 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:41.600 along with a bunch of other animals. The story from 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:46.280 actually the BBC they had all kinds of different reptiles 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:51.600 and amphibians that were just cruising around there. And what 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:53.280 if you have to go in there, Like, aren't there 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:55.200 people that work for the city of Gainesville that have 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:58.280 to go in there and like clean fixed stuff. You 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:02.760 imagine surrounded by gators and give you a We'll give 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.680 you like a gun and some pepper spray or something. 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:06.440 You'll be good. 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:10.040 If it was our company, they would just give you 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:10.879 a FEMA card. 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.200 Yeah, yeah, you'll be good. Yeah, he's you're fine, you're 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:15.080 protecting up. 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:16.639 Here's a FEMA card. Go to work. 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:20.480 Yeah, be happy, be happy now, be happy now. Next 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:24.159 up is Mike in Fullerton. He says, Yo, Ben and 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.800 Danny g Have either of you seen this video making 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.800 the rounds on AX about a day in the life 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.600 of is he the Corgy? And then he sent the 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:36.560 link here. It's the most horrible thing I've seen in years. 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:38.560 Does it make you, guys wish you had a corgy? 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:39.440 Yeah? 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:42.520 This is you know, this is This is the video 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:47.000 clip of a former FSR employee, part of the Alumni 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:52.879 Association at the Great Corgy Race at Santa Anita Park 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:57.280 and Mike, I'm starting to think that the Mic and 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:02.159 Fullerton account is actually Ryan Finley and it's his burner 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:06.000 account and he's created this character Mike and Fullerton. Does 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:09.560 anyone think that that's possibility, anybody other than me? 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:10.720 No? 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:16.200 Man, daddy, Yeah, And then he says, next time, Ben, 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.639 you get swarm by a bunch of AI girlfriend body accounts, 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.760 can you please send a few my way in a 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:27.320 bit of a dry spell. Thanks, that's from Mike. Yeah, 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:32.760 so Mike and Fullerton, he made a joke about AI 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:35.720 I needing an AI girlfriend or something along those lines. 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:40.480 And so what happened was all the AI girlfriend accounts, 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:43.960 they're all automated and they just search for AI girlfriend. 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:50.359 And since Mike tagged me in that post, I was 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:56.560 getting endless messages from the AI girlfriend accounts on social media. 0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:00.760 And this seemingly is a pretty big business. There's some 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.680 money to be made there. I remember we talked about 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:08.480 the story of some people that created a really hot 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:13.000 looking AI woman and they're making money with her as 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:18.280 an influencer, and she has supposedly millions of people following her. Now, 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:23.600 I continue to be a skeptic, a massive skeptic when 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:27.920 it comes to the number of followers. Like there's more 0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:32.880 people on Instagram than there are in the world, right 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.800 if you look at the number of Instagram accounts and 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:38.199 how many people have a million followers, and like, the 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:40.879 math just doesn't work out. Even if you use malor math, 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:45.639 it doesn't really work out. But anyway, listen, that's great, 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:51.159 that's wonderful. Congratulations. I'm a skeptic. I am just a 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:55.000 skeptic by nature, and it's the matrix and all that, 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:59.760 and that's that's where I stand. That is where I stand. 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:02.120 Any thoughts on that, Danny. 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:04.879 I was just thinking about this would have come in 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:07.840 handy possibly for you back when you were in the 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:08.719 dating world. 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:12.680 Yeah, even then. I always try to find real women, 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:14.800 you know, not the not the fake ones. 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:19.119 But uh, you know, but this generation right now, like 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:23.879 they're they're fine just having a relationship or talking to 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:28.199 a digital voice like you see the ads now for 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:30.760 the for the new phones that are out where you 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:34.920 can just have a conversation and get advice from an 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:37.719 AI like that seems to be the wave of the 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:41.719 future right now. God, do you see that ad right 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:44.160 where that guy is getting ready for his job interview? 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:48.880 Yeah, I'm not.
