Speaker 2: Oh you know what I mean what they used to

23
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: do in the nineties, at least when I was twelve,

24
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: we would go to the up and go to the

25
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: town dump and feed black bears hot dogs out of

26
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: our hands.

27
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: One of the greatest things a child can do. But

28
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: baby like.

29
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: Bear cubs and you're handing a hot dog. I mean, like,

30
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: so many things are wrong with it. Yeah, on so

31
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: many levels. And yet so and yet as as I think,

32
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 2: maybe I was even ten, being like this is well,

33
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: we're really communing with nature.

34
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: Core memory for you. Also, the bears loved it, The

35
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: kids loved it. Until somebody gets maimed or eaten, it's

36
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: all really fun. Yeah.

37
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: The third day it happens, someone gets aimed.

38
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Man. Also, it's the start. I know this isn't

39
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: a big deal for our listeners, but it is the

40
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: start of Major League Baseball season in America for a week.

41
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: And I encourage all of you, even people that hate sports. Yeah,

42
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: if you're at work, or you're at home, or you're

43
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: you're not driving, just look on YouTube. There is a

44
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: very bad band called Creed that sold tens of millions

45
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: of albums, and as they broke up, their lead singer

46
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: Scott's Stap one of the strangest people to ever live

47
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: from Florida. Unsurprisingly, in twenty ten, he recorded a song

48
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: for the Florida Marlins to cheer the team on, but

49
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: it really was probably just a cash grab. And every

50
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: year at the start of baseball I revisit the song

51
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: Marlins Will Soar, and it's, you know, like marlins do

52
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: just swordfish going through the sky winged migration. Just if

53
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: you've never heard it, it's only about two minutes long,

54
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: power chord rock about. He clearly knows nothing about baseball.

55
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: He clearly just googled baseball words and oh man, the

56
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: Marlins Will Soar by Scott's Stap is worth you pausing

57
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: bananas and listening to for two minutes. It's terrible. It's

58
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: a yearly tradition in the Banana Boy two household. Oh

59
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: I just did it this morning before I recorded and

60
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: was cry laughing. Oh, I love that so much. And

61
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: you know what I do think we can do, Scotty

62
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: is I think we can tease Banana Fast, Bananas Fest,

63
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: Bananas Fest, folks. It's looking very likely.

64
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: It's very very I'm just saying.

65
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: We're on the verge of a major. Yes, well, I

66
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: think we have the major.

67
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 2: Yes, I think it's pretty much well what We're having

68
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: a meeting in about an hour. But I'm just saying

69
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,679
Speaker 2: September seventh, think about it, Denver, the middle of the country.

70
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: Middle of the country. I think almost every airport in

71
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: America other than the ones in New England have a

72
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 2: direct flight to Denver.

73
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: That's right.

74
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: You can get a dilect direct flight to Denver for anything,

75
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 2: and you're gonna want to be there the whole weekend.

76
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, because one of the days we're doing Bananas Fest,

78
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: be banana stuff, podcast day, comics, maybe bands, silly things

00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 2: thank you, Marie. This was originally posted actually two depths

110
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 2: of Wikipedia, which, as you know, I love that Instagram account.

111
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: It's the best and it is just runs that, Kurt.

112
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: Do we know who runs steps of Wikipedia? I know

113
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: it's a woman. We should have her on. Let's get her.

114
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: If anybody knows or has contact info for the person

115
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 2: who runs deep of Wikipedia, I would.

116
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: Deeply love to have her or them on. We're not sure.

117
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 2: We don't know, all right, So there is okay, it's

118
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: in this Spanish name. This is This is from the Wikipedia.

119
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: There is an an article where which has some quotes,

120
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: but it's mostly about other soccer players, which is weird.

121
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: In this Spanish name, the first or paternal surname is Yumanez,

122
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: and the second or maternal family name is Lopez. So

123
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: Osama vin Laden Yumanez Lopez.

124
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: So yeah.

125
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: Vin Laden is named after Osama bin Laden. The difference

126
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: in spelling is due to the letters B and V

127
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: being pronounced the same in Spanish. Vin Laden has a

128
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: brother named Saddam Hussein.

129
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: Okay.

130
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: A theme here the Spanish spelling of Iraqi leaders Saddam Hussein. Additionally,

131
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: and then and then I have two different information pieces

132
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 2: of information here. One piece of information says he also

133
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: has a sister named Georgia Bush.

134
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: Okay. One of the Bush daughters, right, George, Oh, George

135
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: Bush is it's just George orsh but Georgia okay, so

136
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: ye yeah yeah.

137
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: So Additionally, his father planned on naming his third child

138
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: George Bush, but could not since they turned out to

139
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: be female.

140
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: So I do believe.

141
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: In another in another image from a Wikipedia grab, I've

142
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: seen it that his sister is named Georgia Bush. I

143
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: googled it, couldn't find out if his sister is Georgia Bush,

144
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: and so then in a quote from him on Marca

145
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: dot com, bye uh bye, it's by Marcus. Okay, swing,

146
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 2: I'm really looking to see. Yeah, but it does not

147
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: seem like there's anyone attributed to this.

148
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: Here's some quotes. Okay.

149
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: My brother's name is Saddam Hussein, and my father wanted

150
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 2: to name the third child George Bush, but it was

151
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 2: a girl. When Osama bin Laden knocked down the Twin Towers,

152
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: the name was in the news and I was born seventh,

153
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: two thousand and two.

154
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, over a year later, teen months later,

155
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: Sure we gotta do it. Quote.

156
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: There are no other people who call themselves that I've

157
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: been through this situation and it seems normal. My shirt

158
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 2: says Osama. I thought about changing my name, but now

159
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: I am calm. This just seems like a horrible translation

160
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 2: of whatever he's saying.

161
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: I like the way they talk. It's nice.

162
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: The eighteen year old player went on to defend his

163
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: father's decision and name him after bin Laden.

164
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: I think my father liked it. I think he did too.

165
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: I think there is a person called Hitler. Also in Peru,

166
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 2: Jesus saved the world, and there are Jesuses who do

167
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 2: harm because there is an Osama who killed people. I

168
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 2: don't think there has to be a law about the name.

169
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: It draws a lot of attention from what I seem.

170
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: And then I read so.

171
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 2: In Peruvian tradition, it's just very common to name your

172
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 2: child after just anybody famous, like as long as they're famous,

173
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: that it will bring them like good luck and uh.

174
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: I don't know if Azaba lauded. I don't know if

175
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 2: his dad was, just like I don't know who Sama

176
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: bin Laden is.

177
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tony the Tiger great name for somebody. I wish

178
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: I was Tony the Tiger landis. That'd be a great

179
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: I'd be like, what's up with Tony the Tiger? People?

180
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: Oh my god? It'd be so much that'd be amazing.

181
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, Ma Puffs brown Older, if you

182
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: were Coco Puffs brown Older. I don't know why I

183
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: went all cereals. I guess we're recording in the morning.

184
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: But if you were Cocoa Puffs.

185
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: For come on, I would be so much more famous

186
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 2: than I am. But yeah, I asked doctor Pepsi marijuana.

187
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: She's a doctor, doctor and she defends her name all

188
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: the time. For those of you who don't know who

189
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 2: doctor Pepsi Marijuana is, you look it up. We did

190
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 2: cover it on I don't know for it.

191
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: I think Chloe Bridges episode definitely twenty twenty. I think

192
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: because Chloe is graduating from Colombia around that time, and

193
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: so was doctor Dr Pepsi marijuana. Pepsi marijuana. It's fine

194
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: with me? Are you kidding me?

195
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: We love We're the podcast name of Names.

196
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: I love Peru. No, but my.

197
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,599
Speaker 2: Olive's teacher is Peruvian and she's amazing. She's like this

198
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 2: amazing teacher. And you know because she Olive goes to

199
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: a Spanish immersion school, so she's in first grade. But like,

200
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: so this woman speaks in a Peruvian accent to her

201
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: all the time and that's how they teach and everything

202
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: like that. And Olive is obsessed with Peru, but she

203
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 2: says it with like a Peruvian accent, so she's always like, poh,

204
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 2: like I can't even do it, like in the same

205
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: way that Olive's always just like we go to Mexico

206
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: and like it's really she has a real good accent. Yeah,

207
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: someday I think we will go to Peru because Olive

208
00:11:58,920 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 2: has heard so much about it.

209
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: It's amazing. I went to a Kitos and cha Chapuyas

210
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: and I had wonderful adventures going up the Amazon driving

211
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: the road to Maria. We went to shoot the show,

212
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: and so the road to Maria used to be the

213
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: way to get to I think it's called q Lop.

214
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: It's basically a mountain. It was an abandoned civilization. It's

215
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: very similar if you've ever seen Machu Picchu. It's basically

216
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: same timeline, similar buildings. But it was like a fortress

217
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: in town up there. And these Europeans came in and

218
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: a built gondola system so that you can get up

219
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: to q Lop in like I don't know, fifteen minutes,

220
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: maybe ten minutes.

221
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: Wow, beautiful which probably used to take like six hours.

222
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: You used to have to drive it. And so the

223
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: drive is called the road to Maria because there's a

224
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: little town called Maria, and as you drive, it's like

225
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: sheer cliffs on the side for a lot of it

226
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: up sometimes they're like over a thousand feet and I

227
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: mean these are dirt road. These are stone roads, so

228
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: not paved at all, and the locals just gun it

229
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: on motorcycles, but like big like dump trucks will come

230
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: around the corner full speed. It's single lane in a

231
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: lot of places. So of course we drove it. We

232
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: drove it in a stick shift truck. Adam drove. He

233
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: didn't He was okay at stick he wasn't great, but

234
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: and then it was nuts. And our whole thing was

235
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: we were going to drive the road to Maria and

236
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: go to the town Maria where it used to have

237
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 1: bustling tourism. All of these towns are sort of like

238
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: in disrepair because nobody has to drive that way anymore

239
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: to a culab. So we decided we were going to

240
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: drive an ice cream truck there and deliver ice cream

241
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: to all the children of Maria. And we did, and

242
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: the kids were great, they came running out and it

243
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: was so fun to do. But the on the morning

244
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: we were going to drive the road to Maria and

245
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: when I say like a sheer cliff, I mean like

246
00:13:55,160 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: no railings. It was really intense, and we were in

247
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: an eighteen passenger van with I'm not kidding for dramatic effect,

248
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,599
Speaker 1: bald tires, like the outside of these tires were treadless.

249
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: And then because I was the show creator with Adam,

250
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: we went with an Hours from Alcoholics was also our

251
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: guest for this episode. We got picked up early to

252
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: go kind of scouted out, and the guy who picked

253
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: us up driving us to the road to Maria. So

254
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: just driving on a regular road from our hotel to

255
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: the as we start going up the mountain, crashed the

256
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: car on the side road. No, so one of our

257
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: drivers was there were these huge either puddles in the

258
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: middle of the road that were like two feet deep,

259
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: so they had to go around them. Or there were

260
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: these big kind of like mound. This is like really

261
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: a pretty remote area, and there were these huge like

262
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: speed humps that were made out of mud and stone.

263
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: And so our guy who picked us up, we're just chatting.

264
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: He speaks only Spanish. We speak oh broken Spanish, but

265
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: like enough to communicate and say, you know, good morning

266
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: and thank you and all that stuff. And about five

267
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: minutes into our drive, he went off the road and

268
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: we were in a ditch sideways. Are you joking? Just

269
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: one of our You and the dyers, Adam and the driver.

270
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: Oh my god. So the eighteen passenger vans that were

271
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: behind us with the production equipment are about ten minutes

272
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: behind us, and when they got there are little car

273
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: that he's transported. This is a guy that's going to

274
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: be driving this on the road to Maria all day.

275
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: Crashed it into a ditch, so the left the driver's

276
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: side tires front and back were off the ground and

277
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: we were stuck in a grassy, muddy ditch until we

278
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: were able to like force the car get out and

279
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: push the car out. Oh my god, that's so crazy.

280
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: Day one. So did you shoot that?

281
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: It was it?

282
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: Were you able to shoot it? No? Because we were

283
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: just being transported. It wasn't like part of the show.

284
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: We weren't miked up or they weren't miked up.

285
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

286
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: And Adam's looking at me and like, are we really

287
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: about to do this? Because you know, you think you

288
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: have like a safety team. Yeah, yeah, we had no

289
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: safety team the best, and so we recorded. We drove

290
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: the road to Maria four times that day, all the

291
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: way to Maria, gave the kids ice cream all the

292
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: way back so we could get more footage. Then again,

293
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: and then two of the three two or the four times,

294
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: Adam forgot to take the parking break off the stick

295
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: shift ice cream truck. And so I was driving on

296
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: this road just grinding the brakes, so like drove it

297
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: with he drove it in a in a ice cream

298
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: truck the whole way. Yeah, yes, four times. By the

299
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: fourth time, we were so comfortable with it. But it

300
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: was I don't really get scared. I'm not afraid of

301
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: heights anything like that. I'm not afraid of I'm not

302
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: afraid of, you know, just snakes or whatever. I'm not

303
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: afraid of any of that crap. But after we crashed

304
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: that car, and then once I saw what the road

305
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: was that we were going to be driving on, and

306
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: once I saw the bald tires on the A Team

307
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: Passion van that I would be riding in, and it

308
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: was raining, I mean, I was like this might be it.

309
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: I seriously kind of was making peace with the fact.

310
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: I was like, boy, we at every step of the

311
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: way we should have said hell no, and instead we

312
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: just shot it for a seven minute Quibi series for

313

315
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,520

316
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: part right at the end. Imagine that. I mean, we

317

322
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,880

324
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: and forth, where you're like God, And we had to

325
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: keep telling the drivers of the eighteen slow down because

326
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: there were local guys that were used to bombing it. Yeah,

327
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: And like it got to the point where we were

328
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: yelling slow down and they were like okay, and then

329
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: they would speed it back up to like fifty and

330
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: You're like what the fuck? Wow, But I made it.

331
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: I didn't die.

332
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 2: Nice work. Congratulations give me another story.

333
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 1: This one was sent in by so many beautiful bananimals,

334
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: but I got it from Emi Guateama Wheelan first, and

335
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: then Olivia costcheck or Cossack, and then Keith Ballinger right

336
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: or belonger. Massachusetts library accepts cat pictures to pay for

337
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: late fees. That's nice about the CNN wy are written

338
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: by that CNN staff Western mass not Worcester, mass Worcester

339
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: mass A Public Library, Massachusetts is accepting cat photos to

340
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: pay for fees for late returns or lost or damaged

341
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: books this month. It's part of Woosters Public Libraries. March

342
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: miownis very cute. If you send a photo or even

343
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: a drawing of a cat, it erases your fines. That's great.

344
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: It's such a good idea. In the first five days

345
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: of the month, four hundred accounts, four hundred, we're clear

346
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: uh using this unique form of currency. The idea started

347
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: when a library task force noticed a lot of younger

348
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: patrons had fees dating back to the start of the pandemic,

349
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: of course, and they didn't want those people to stop

350
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: using library the library because of the fines. So you

351
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: can still in the month at March send a photo

352
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: a drawing of any cat if you are in Massachusetts,

353
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: and they will erase your library fines beautiful, I mean,

354
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: simple solution.

355
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 2: I go to the library now a lot. And we've

356
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: talked about libraries a lot on bananas, but I walk

357
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: in there, especially ones like there's a big one. There's

358
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 2: a really big one, like the main branch in downtown

359
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: Los Angeles is.

360
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 1: In this gorgeous building.

361
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 2: It's gigantic but even our local and it's just like

362
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 2: magical to be in there, because it really feels like

363
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 2: it's sad, but it feels like just a vestige of

364
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: an America that no longer exists, and yet it does

365
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 2: and yet you know, it's like this institution that is

366
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: there simply for public use, for free, and it's just knowledge.

367
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 2: But it's also like three D printers and computers and

368
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 2: CD like you can get music, you can rent videos,

369
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: like it's so wonderful and I love it so much

370
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 2: it is and even my small little branch when I

371
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 2: walk in there, I'm just like, this place is so cool.

372
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: I love librarians. What two yeah, and libraries. But I

373
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,720

Speaker 1: twenty twenty four that will never make it on TV

386

Speaker 1: new when it can be scary, and I said that

474
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: before I pitch TV shows or movies, I say out

475
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,639

Speaker 1: people are looking for jobs, good for you, Jennifer Fairbairn.

485
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 2: You know that is so fantastic because I doubt many

486
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 2: people get help from most of our advice on the

487
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 2: bonus otes, because it's supposed to be Banana's advice. It's

488
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: supposed to be just us goofing around. But it's nice

489
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 2: that something cool came out of it. You know, people

490
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 2: used to ask me if I got stage fright ever,

491
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 2: and I learned this trick about stage fright, and it's

492
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: something kind of really does work. Is that, like you

493
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 2: just realized that stage fright is this kind of like

494
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 2: energy that's making you nervous, and instead you need to

495
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 2: just you just decide that that energy is making you excited.

496
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 2: And like it's just like a little it's just a

497
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: little switch in like a pathway in your brain somewhere,

498
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden you're just like and

499
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 2: you just start moving around like really excitedly, and it

500
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 2: like totally works. It like turns that nervousness into excitement

501
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: and then boom, you go out and you do whatever

502
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: you need to do. So I start punching the air

503
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 2: or whatever something like that.

504
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: Something dumb. That's good. I mean, heck, yeah, well that's cool.

505

Speaker 1: You can always send in any of your thumbs ups

Speaker 2: saw it from Cammy Sparkle. Cammy Sparkle, thank you. It

519
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 2: is basically what happened was the school just got someone

520
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 2: called it in and said there's a mountain lion outside,

521
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 2: and it was a you know, it's a it's a school.

522
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 2: There's like kindergarteners around and stuff like that, so they

523
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 2: shut down out of a you know, an abundance of cautions.

524
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: Yes, of caution too.

525
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 2: And just turns out it's fat cat eating rat. But

526
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: here's the crazy part, okay, is because I was googling,

527
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: so fat cat eating a rat quote is a quote

528
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 2: from like the school, That's why it's in all that.

529
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 2: But I google fat cat mountain lion, okay, and it is.

530
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 2: You just google fat cat mountain lion.

531
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: It is filled.

532
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 2: Filled with articles of people mistaking fat cats for mountain lions.

533
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 2: This is this is I would say it's an epidemic

534
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 2: happening across our country that people. I'm wondering if anyone

535
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 2: knows what a mountain lion looks like or a cat.

536
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: It's like, I'm so a boy where you go. You

537
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: have to know what one of these two species looks like.

538
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 2: Like I could understand maybe a bobcat like being confused

539
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 2: for like a normal large house cat, but a mountain

540
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 2: is as a it's a very different beast.

541
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: In my mind, beast. It is much larger animal. And

542
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: even the largest cats I think they're main coons, right,

543
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: or like that. And those cats are humongous look nothing

544
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: like a mountain wid That's like nothing at all.

545
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: Do you remember that woman who brought the Mountain lion

546
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 2: into her house and was living with it and just

547
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 2: kept posting pictures of this cat is going crazy? Yes?

548
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 2: I do.

549
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: That was sofa It's like, well, it can't calm down.

550
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: And then it's like you have a puma in your house.

551
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: It's so cool that she did that. I think my

552
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: friend has a main coon. I think my friend Megan

553
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: has a Maine coon if I was, if I were,

554
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: if I was, if I was going to get a cat,

555
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: it would be a Maine coon kitten. I want, yes,

556
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: a huge Also, it's coyote country out here. If that

557
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: thing gets out, I need something that stands a chance.

558
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agreed. Maine coons are cool. I think

559
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 2: John Daly's family had Maine coons. If I'm not, you

560
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 2: remember her.

00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: So it's basically a cat dog or dog cat. It's like, yeah,

562
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: maybe I'll end up getting one. Who knows. Maybe I'm

664
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,160

665
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: E X. So I'll say Alex because I don't know Alex.

666
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 1: I mean Framus. An Alex that sounds like a buddy

667

Speaker 1: cop movie. Framous Framous is her name, Alicia Framus, Alicia

668
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: and Alex. Yeah, alician Alex, Yeah she did. She made

669
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,720
Speaker 1: it harder on herself than she needed to. I'm googling

670
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: what Alex looks like who was trained from the profile

671
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: information of her previous romantic partners, according to a press

672
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: release from the artist's publicity team. The press release said

673
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: that the unconventional ceremony will take place at the Depot

674
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: Boije Mons van Venusian Museum in Rotterdam in the Netherlands

675
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: or yeah, I don't know what that word is. The

676
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: ceremony will feature a unique ritual for the union between

677
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: a human and an avatar. Yeah, I'd say that's pretty unique.

678
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: Guests will be served quote molecular food that can be

679
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: enjoyed by both humans and humanoid entities. What I mean,

680
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: let's talk about the molecular open bar at the situation

681
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: and I'm not getting out there on fake drink, uh. Framus,

682
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: the artist and bride, is designing her own dress and

683
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 1: also the clothing for the entire wedding, including the guests.

684
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: Framus said the wedding represents a new generation of love

685
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: where humans will be in relationships with holograms, avatars, and robots.

686
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: While the wedding appears to be a form of performance art. Yeah,

687
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: sort of. Framus said, it poses interesting questions about what

688
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: a union with a holographic partner looks like. Quote it's

689
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 1: interesting how we can get a mortgage to buy a

690
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: new car, and now we can have a mortgage to

691
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: buy a new companion end quote gone that way, but okay,

692
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,439
Speaker 1: we're going that way. It is. It is strange. Also,

693
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: it's like, are they going to be that expensive? Here's

694
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. I don't I thought this would

695
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: be kind of cheap. Yeah, I would hope this is

696
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: virtually free.

697
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 2: I'm looking at a picture of Alex. Alex he ate

698
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 2: a looker. No, he is not, like it's really just

699
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 2: based on like I guess it's maybe like a morph

700
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 2: of her other boyfriend's faces or whatever.

701
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: But he's just kind of like a you know, he's

702
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: not in shape. He's just like an older dude, just

703
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: an older dude. It looks like he's like generous lover,

704
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: an older generously, very giving. She also questioned whether she

705
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: could open a joint account with her partner, which is

706
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: kind of interesting. That is kind of interesting, and what

707
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: kind of insurance coverage they would need because the dude

708
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: that bought my cabins created dj skeets, get created like

709
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: virtual influencer. So that is interesting because it's like a

710
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: virtual vlogger. Yeah, does make money. That does make mine hands,

711
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: and so that is interesting. If you could have a

712
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:52,439
Speaker 1: joint account with a an avatar that made money that's real,

713
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 1: I mean, why wouldn't you be able to? But that

714
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: is very interesting to me that you could have a

715
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: fake you could be man I read to I mean

716
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: not even fake, a digital partner that generates money that

717
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: you could spend. Yeah, But also that also means that the.

718
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 2: That the AI would be able to spend the money

719
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 2: as well, right to maybe like buy to like buy

720
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 2: itself some more server space if it wants to be

721
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 2: able to do other stuff and whatnot.

722
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: You come home from the salt mines, you're exhausted. You

723
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: sit down, You pour the last your tomato soup out

724
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: of your thermos into the little plastic mug Thatt's on

725
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 1: the top, and you're sipping it, and you check your

726
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 1: accounts online and your AI husband has spent all of

727
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: your money on sports betting. Yeah, on virtual crocs and

728
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: sports betting. I mean it is.

729
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 2: About to get so crazy, and then you look at

730
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 2: his you look at his apartment like online, and it's

731
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 2: so dope, and you're like, you spent twenty thousand dollars

732
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 2: on a rug for your digital house and he's like,

733
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 2: it's very nice.

734
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: It's a nice rug. Yeah, you have a stuffed marlin

735
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: and a fold out bed, a fold out self in

736
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: every room of your ten room apartment.

737
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 2: We are so we're so close to this because Olive

738
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,240
Speaker 2: and Gus play this game which I would recommend to parents,

739
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 2: Legends of Learning, Okay, Awakening. Yeah, and it's a it's

740
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 2: a math game, but it's essentially I don't know how

741
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 2: they exist. They just completely one hundred percent ripped off

742
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 2: what Pokemon are. But they call him beasties. And in

743
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 2: order to battle your beasties, like you get bestis in battle,

744
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 2: you have to do math problems. And so it really

745
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 2: it taught all of how to like tell time on

746
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 2: a clock already. You know she's not going to learn that,

747
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 2: I think until next year.

748
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: Yeah.

749
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 2: And but so you also make money or like whatever,

750
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 2: you get diamonds or whatever when you like kill a beastier,

751
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 2: put defeat a beastie. And then they're obsessed with just

752
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 2: buying like a dresser for their house and like a

753
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 2: TV for their house, and it's just like, what is it?

754
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 2: I don't understand. I guess it's because they don't get

755
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 2: to buy things yet maybe, but like they kind of do,

756
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 2: like they have they get money for like their birthday

757
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 2: and whatnot. And then we can go to the Pokemon

758
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 2: store and like they can and I have them hold

759
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 2: their own money, count it and like pay for if

760
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 2: they want to buy a Pokemon card or something like that.

761
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: Wow, but it's so weird.

762
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 2: They're obsessed with like getting a better couch for their

763
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 2: apartment in the in the video game, which doesn't make

764
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 2: any sense to me.

765
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 1: And that'll be the thing that I won't understand, Yeah,

766
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: but it'll make more human that when you're bored, you spend.

767
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: Bridger had a tweet that was like, you know, just

768
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: another day of going to the grocery store for absolutely

769
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: no reason, and it's like you do find yourself just

770
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: like when you have nothing to do. Sometimes like an

771
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: Amazon of course, like all those all online retail you're

772
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: just like, ah, bored, I guess I'll buy some double

773
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: side tape and you're like, what the hell am I doing?

774
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't your AI partner do the exact same thing?

775
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: Why not? Why not let them? When I was a

776
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: do you know you know Pokemon's is for pocket monster,

777
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: That's where the name Pokemon comes from. I did not

778
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: know that, Thank you, That is true. So when I

779
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: was doing I rewrote and wrote a bunch of scenes

780
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: for Detective Pikachu the movie, And on the first day

781
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: there was a big round table where we all got

782
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 1: the script the night before, and then we saw some

783
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: clips of the movie, but we were able to look

784
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: up sort of the different Pokemon that were in it.

785
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: And the main villain in Detective Pikachu is a Pokemon

786
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: named mewtwo, which is like this cat two legged cat thing.

787
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: I know mew two.

788
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 2: I like, I have so much Pokemon knowledge now that

789
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 2: I've started to forget other more important knowledge from my past,

790
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 2: Like I can't remember my high school girlfriend's last name,

791
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 2: but I know that mewtwo can't evolve, but there is

792
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 2: a mew two X or ex and it's a larger mewtwo,

793
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, great, I have all that dumb info in there.

794
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: So it's like myself at like probably eight other screenwriters.

795
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: And then the director is really nice guy and then

796
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 1: the guy that uh, one of the execs at Legendary

797
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: and they're you know, they buy you lunch and you're

798
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,479
Speaker 1: just kind of hanging out and it's and they were like, okay,

799
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: So like before we get into specific scenes or changes

800
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,959
Speaker 1: or jokes, any overall thoughts on the script or the movie,

801
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 1: like we all got kind of an early cut. This

802
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: one writer at God bless him, he just raises his hands,

803
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,240
Speaker 1: he goes, yeah, I have a thought. So is mewtwo's

804
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: tail just as penis because it starts in the front.

805
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: Is that what we're going with here? And and then

806
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 1: it was so funny because the director's like, well, Pokemon

807
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: does mean pocket monster. And then all of us kind

808
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: of look at the binders and look at mewtwo and

809
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,439
Speaker 1: we're like, it does kind of look like his tail

810
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: is this penis? And I have never noticed that.

811
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 2: I gotta check you you will now because it does

812
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 2: seem like it's just like the bottom of his body

813
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 2: that just gets thinner and thinner, right.

814
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then goes behind him and then it's sort

815
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: of yeah, prehensil in its own way, but boy, it

816
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 1: set the tone for that day. So shockingly I got

817
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 1: hired to write scenes and not that writer anyway. She

818
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:14,720
Speaker 1: added a frame has added artificial intelligence companions and humans

819
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: can be beneficial option for people in need of companionship.

820
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: This hologram will fulfill all my needs. According to the

821
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,280
Speaker 1: press release, Framous, who has posted videos of her cooking

822
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: and eating with Alix or Alex, previously had relationship. Previously

823
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:37,959
Speaker 1: had a relationship with a mannequin named Pierre. Somehow less weird,

824
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: somehow weirder. Fram is somehow much weirder. Yeah, weird, like

825
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: the mannequin is just yeah, that's weirder. I mean remember

826
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: Mannequin and Mannequin two from the eighties.

827
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 2: I love those movies. I think just because they were

828
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 2: on cable a lot.

829
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: We tried to get the rights to that at some

830
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: point to switch it and make the guy the mannequin.

831
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 1: We tried to switch it. I think it was for

832
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: Gillian Bell, but that that movie'll come back. Mannequin was fun.

833
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen it, just watch the trailer on YouTube.

834
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 2: They made Mannequin two.

835
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: That's the craziest part. Yeah, the eighties were strange. In

836
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, oh A Famous claims she will be the

837
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: first woman to marry a hologram. That's probably not true

838
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: at this point. They've been around for a pretty long time.

839
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 1: Framus claims to be the first woman in twenty eighteen

840
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: Business Insider Boy. They're just handling business all the time,

841
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: aren't they are? They are?

842
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 2: They really are?

843
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: It's nothing but brass tacks business different Business Insider Boy.

844
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: Twenty eighteen, Business Insider reported a Japanese man who married

845
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 1: a virtual reality singer. None of his family attended that

846
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: wedding ceremony.

847
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 2: I think we might have even posted about that or

848
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 2: covered it. Oh no, it was twenty eighteen.

849
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, before time, we get old stories time. The weirdest

850
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: part of all this to me, and this is sort

851
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: of putting the cart way before the AI horse is

852
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 1: like what happens when she fall out of love? If

853
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 1: she falls out.

854
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 2: Of love with she delete him?

855
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 1: That's I literally wrote on my paper, Do you delete him? Yeah?

856
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: Real black mirror stuff right?

857
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 2: Because it and also at what point do you like?

858
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 2: My question always about like chat, GPT and stuff like

859
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 2: that is when people are not asking it questions?

860
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: Is it thinking?

861
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 2: That's my and I don't think it is. I think

862
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 2: it only it's like input only generative. But the answers

863
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 2: are so complex that it I don't know, you know,

864
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 2: that's the that's the part where it's like, once they

865
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 2: do that, then then that I think that'll be the

866
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 2: thing where it's we have a thing that just is

867
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:46,800
Speaker 2: an animal.

868
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean when I watched X Machine and then

869
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to watch that newer Blade Runner and they

870
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: both kind of one falls in love with basically a

871
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: robot and the other one has Ryan Austin's character and

872
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 1: Blade Runner has like an AI that's at home. I

873
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 1: was like, I get it. Like that. I think it'll

874
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 1: be good for some people. Yeah. I think there's a

875
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: lot of lonely people. You know, there's all that all

876
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: these redd It is obsessed with like how lonely men

877
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: are right now and how they're unable to express their emotions.

878
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: It's like, I can't be one hundred percent against this.

879
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: Oh no, I think it could help a lot of

880
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: people to express themselves and have companionship.

881
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Definitelyly also, it will lead to the extinction of

882
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 2: the human race.

883
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: True.

884
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 2: True, here's a perfect person at home for you that

885
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 2: you can't have a child with.

886
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. I look at this interesting situation like it was

887
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: about ten years ago, maybe a little longer where and

888
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: I may have mentioned this briefly before, but I knew

889
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: I knew this woman and she was totally just an

890
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 1: acquaintance something I met, like in social events, passing a

891
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: couple of times since. She reached out to me and

892
00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: was like, Hey, I'm writing a book where I'm dating

893
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: twelve men for a year, so everybody gets four weeks.

894
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm dating twelve different guys for a month each, and

895
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 1: I have a different relationship to all of them. So

896
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: like one is somebody I used to date, one is

897
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: somebody I know like a best friend. One is somebody

898
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to meet on tender all that kind of thing. Yeah,

899
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 1: so I was number four or five, but I was

900
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 1: an acquaintance, somebody that she just knew of. Wow, and

901
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,879
Speaker 1: she's like, would you want to date me for a month?

902
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: And I had come out of a pretty long relationship

903
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 1: that had ended kind of shittily. So I was like,

904
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: date you for four weeks? This could not be more perfect,

905
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: I know, right, it was. Yeah, to have that time

906
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: camp on it was like so like she was like, oh, great,

907
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,399
Speaker 1: you'll be chapter four and then I was like yeah,

908
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: and you can like ask questions or whatever, and I

909
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,720
Speaker 1: was like all, I was like, do you say our names?

910
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:52,839
Speaker 1: And she was like, I can use a fake name

911
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 1: for you. I can just say guy number five or whatever.

912
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: And I was like, you could say Scotty. It's fine,

913
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: but don't use my last name and the photos or anything.

914
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 1: So anyways, I agreed and we so, like the second

915
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: day into the four weeks, we went on a date

916
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: and we had fun. We just went to a movie

917
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 1: and then we went out and it was really fun.

918
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: Like it was. It was a very great thing coming

919
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 1: out of a bad breakup to like just have this

920
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 1: control over a relationship or normally you go, where's this going?

921
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: What does this mean? And then what happened was around

922
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: week four she was like, you know, we don't have

923
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,399
Speaker 1: to stop dating. And I was like, what do you mean.

924
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: She's like, well, I really this is fun. I really

925
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: liked this. I was like, yeah, we're having a great time.

926
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 1: I was like, but this is kind of like your rules,

927
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: like you put a finish line on.

928
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 2: This Ohlso I was excited about those rules.

929
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we had like data, we were hooking up

930
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 1: and it was fun and she was like, well, I

931
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: can just push the next guy farther back, and I

932
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 1: was like no. I was like no, because to me,

933
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: the rules in place were like four weeks and then

934
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 1: you're out and then be a funny chapter. And so

935
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: we did a lot of fun stuff. So like on

936
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: the last date, we went down to this beach down

937
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: near Lagoon or Newport, and she was like, I think

938
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 1: I should just stop writing this book and that you

939
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: and I should be like together. And I had to

940
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: be like, I don't think that's I don't agree, Like

941
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: I wasn't getting invested because it was that was like

942
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 1: her rules. So we kept in touch. I mean, we

943
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: were friendly, but I could tell she was like, you know,

944
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,879
Speaker 1: bummed out about it. She was having fun. But then

945
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: I found out that later she never ended up finishing

946
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: the book. The guy before me was in love with her,

947
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,280
Speaker 1: loved her, and so it was it became.

948
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 2: She's hurting herself, she's hurting other people.

949
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: It just seems wow, but this is why this book

950
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: needs to exist. I know, that's why this would make

951
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: a good book. Years went by, and you know, we

952
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 1: we we didn't really hang out, were acquaintances before, and

953
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: we kind of just slid back into acquaintances after. And

954
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,320
Speaker 1: so years went by without me seeing her, and I

955
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 1: googled her to see if that book came out, like

956
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 1: I didn't know she was mad at me or what

957
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: had happened. And I found an interview of her talking

958
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 1: about it and she stopped after the guy after me,

959
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: so five or six, and I think she got a

960
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: broken heart, and I think she realized she was breaking

961
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 1: hearts and so she never finished it. She had a

962
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: book advance, like she was writing this book, WHOA, Whoa?

963
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 2: She had book advants. She paid back the book advance.

964
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how that works. I don't know how

965
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: that works, but I know that she never finished the book,

966
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: and I still think about it. Was very strange. So

967
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 1: when I hear about these ai and when we were

968
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 1: just saying, like do you just delete the person when

969
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: it's done, It's weird to have the control to just

970
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 1: cut it off and then delete it like it never happened,

971
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 1: like all these people could have weird in a way.

972
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 1: It's like a secret relationship besides me talking on a podcast,

973
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 1: but like it was like a weird secret moment where

974
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: I was like, this is really great, and then in

975
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,959
Speaker 1: my mind it was done. It was just stopped. Yeah, Yeah,

976
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: that's a fascinating thing that the human gets to continue

977
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: on with the memory of it, but then the AI

978
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 1: partner could just get deleted. That's crazy. It's yeah, it's

979
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: deep and strange. Yeah, I agree. One.

980
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 2: And also like that means like you could like dial

981
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 2: up a AI one night stand.

982
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,919
Speaker 1: Oh I do. I'm sure that's not happening. I mean, yeah,

983
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: it got so crazy.

984
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 2: I know. Well, folks, the future is dystopian. But here, bananas,

985
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:41,760
Speaker 2: it's a U topy, It's a banana tobya.

986
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: Folks, we're just laughing and laughing at it because that's

987
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: all you can do, and we can celebrate how weird

988
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: it is. You can't. You can't make it not happen.

989
