I 74 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: just want to talk a little bit about the way 75 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: to approach the world, a little worldview philosophy. And I 76 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: always like when I'm in mixed groups, not just men, women, gay, straight, 77 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: you know whatever. I like. I want some Euros, I 78 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: want some Africans, I want some Atians. I want people 79 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: from everywhere hanging. 80 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 81 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: The other night I was out with my good buddies, 82 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: Austin and Samuel, and Samuel is a brit and I 83 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,799 Speaker 1: said to him something you and I have talked about 84 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: on the podcast before. But the reason so many pubs 85 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: in the UK are named like the Wren and the 86 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: Fox and the Goat and the Great and the you know, 87 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: jug and the whatever raven is I had heard, and 88 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: I think we discussed that it was because the working 89 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: class that would go to the pubs were illiterate for 90 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: so long that they would the name of the bar 91 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: would be the photos on it, and then that became 92 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: its name. And so I asked a British person, I said, 93 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: have you ever heard this before? And he goes, you know, 94 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: I haven't heard that, but that does make sense. And 95 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: he said, in my town, so near where he grew up, 96 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: the main pub was something called like the white Horse. 97 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: It was called the white Horse, and he said it 98 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: wasn't on the main road, which was a small road. 99 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: It was down like four hundred yards down a side road, 100 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: and at some point somebody stole the white Horse sign, 101 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: so there was just the frame. The metal frame where 102 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: the sign used to hang was then gone on the 103 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: main road, and the owner was all pissed, and they 104 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: went to get a new white Horse sign, and everybody 105 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: that went there regularly said, do not get a new sign. 106 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: They started calling it the No Name Bar. And now 107 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: everybody drinks at the No Name Pub, excuse me, the 108 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: no Name Pub. So there's no sign. It is the 109 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: No Name Pub, and it is no longer the white Horse. 110 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: And that is the attitude you need to take into 111 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: every complication that comes in your life. 112 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 2: I love that so much. Pivot, Oh God, that's so good. 113 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: I was laughing. So British, so British of them. 114 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 2: Also, that's such a I mean, like, I want to 115 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 2: go to the No Name Pub way more than I 116 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 2: want to go to the White Horse. 117 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: Pub, exactly, it's a better name. And they took something 118 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: crappy that happened to them and just did a facelift, 119 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: just an automatic upgrade to be like better. 120 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 2: Bar all the complications, make you a better person, folks. 121 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 2: There you go it Really they really do everything. There's 122 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 2: something to be learned in everything, even though it really 123 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 2: seems to suck in the moment. Baby, isn't that just 124 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: any not denying the sucking in the moment? But you know, 125 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 2: we got to look at. 126 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: It speaking of yeah, what about these pigeons that are 127 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: going to be bringing we relief to people? We'd really 128 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: have to be having a moment, right. 129 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,679 Speaker 2: Oh well you don't. I mean, like you know about 130 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 2: the hemp thing, right that was cuckoo balls? 131 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: Do you hear about it sneaking? Yeah?

Out of the blue, but hopeful. 134 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: But it's like, I don't know, I don't really necessarily 135 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 2: know what a pure isolate means.

Does she mean the pigeons 174 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 2: holding on to something that it's going to eat for lunch, 175 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 2: or that it would be delivering someone lunch, Because it's 176 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 2: confusing on both levels, because I don't know why we 177 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 2: would assume that it would be lunch, not once, it 178 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 2: could be any meal for that pigeon. Also, I don't 179 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 2: think they as I don't think pigeons are strict about 180 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 2: the three three meal plan, you know. Sometimes I think 181 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 2: they just snack. 182 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: Throughout the day, eat anything. 183 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 2: Yes, exactly what it sounds like. 184 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 4: Well. 185 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: The trial took flock of twenty birds completing symbolic roots 186 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 2: under the watchfly of professional Oh wait, okay, so wait. 187 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 2: The pigeons are outfitted with many backpacks tarry up to 188 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 2: one gram of cannabis across the Okay, one gram, isn't it? 189 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 2: Three grams is an eighth? Right, like three and a 190 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 2: half grams is an eighth or something? 191 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: One gram doesn't seem like that much weed to me. 192 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: But again, I don't want to strain these birds. 193 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 2: I don't want to strain these birds either, But it 194 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 2: definitely seems like a gram. Maybe we're not thinking properly. 195 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 2: Maybe I'm getting confused as to what. But I thought 196 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 2: maybe an eighth of weed, which is pretty much like 197 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 2: your smallest amount of weed that you're buying, right, is 198 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 2: more than a gram? 199 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: But who knows. 200 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 4: Uh. 201 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: Each bird's pack went through multiple prototypes to ensure comfort, 202 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 2: and trainers said the pigeons adapted in just a few days. 203 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 2: As the travel agency it's the only not only natural. 204 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 2: We'd explore all modalities of travel for our delivery service, 205 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: even pigeons, said Irana Hankin Biggers. 206 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, that's a name. 207 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 2: Arana Hankin Biggers, co founder of the Travel agency, and 208 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 2: being an NYC, we thought there's no better career than 209 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 2: the ever present beloved pigeons. I would not say the 210 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 2: pigeons are beloved, but they are to me because they 211 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 2: are the silliest looking bird. 212 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're fine. 213 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 2: The test earned humane treatment certification. While the project sounds 214 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 2: like a marketing stunt and frankly it's an excellent one, 215 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 2: the brand insists it's part of a genuine push to 216 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 2: rethink delivery in a city defined by gridlock and grit 217 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 2: By using the birds that already outnumber New Yorkers, the 218 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 2: Travel agency says it's exploring a model that's both sustainable 219 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 2: and delightfully absurd, and equal measure it all goes according 220 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: to plan. The problem program will expand in twenty twenty six, 221 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 2: with twenty twenty six trained birds flying directly from the 222 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 2: conties downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan dispensaries to destinations across three burroughs. 223 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 2: The company is calling it the fastest and most environmentally 224 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 2: friendly delivery option in the city, though they've yet to 225 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 2: confirm how they plan to navigate apartment buzzers. They just 226 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 2: the bird goes to the window, uh, the Cannabis Carrier 227 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 2: pigeon and taps on it, tip tip tip tip gets high. 228 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 2: You want to get high with the tiny I got 229 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 2: it the tiniest amount of weed here, Broram. The Cannabis 230 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 2: Carrier Pigeon program is not about putting birds to work. 231 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 2: It's about what kind of it is well. 232 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: Making it work. 233 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 2: They're not doing it because they love it. It's about 234 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 2: reimagining delivery with a very New York sense of ingenuity. 235 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 2: This was someone who was worried that people would be like, 236 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 2: you know, what are you putting these pigeons to work? 237 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 2: They get hard to tell for all the pigeons to 238 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 2: have jobs in this city in an era of drone 239 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 2: drops in fifteen minute delivery apps, it's oddly comforting that 240 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 2: New York's newest couriers are the same ones who've been 241 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 2: circlings at skies for centuries, just with slighter, slightly shaker 242 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 2: accessories this time. For now, keep your eyes on the 243 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 2: skies of a pigeon lands near you with this suspiciously 244 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 2: stylish backpack. Your order might just have arrived there. 245 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: It is pretty cool. 246 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Also such an idea that that was originated 247 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 2: while someone was high, and I appreciate that. I very much, 248 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 2: deeply appreciate that. 249 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: I also wouldn't be surprised if in neighborhoods where people 250 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: keep pigeons on the roofs in Brooklyn, and you know, 251 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: if they had already been dealing something by birds by now, right, 252 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: it seems like it seems very smart and fun. 253 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 2: Except for the fact that it's a very small amount 254 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 2: that they could carry. 255 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: Other than that, that'd be a pretty good amount of 256 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 1: cocaine that would be better. But weed, Yeah, a graham, Yes, 257 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: I guess if Grahama needs to take her nap, you 258 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: get her a graham of weed delivered by pigeon. Very whimsical. 259 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: When I worked at this financial company in the Grace 260 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: building right near Brian Park, and one side you could 261 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: see Brian Park, the other side you could see Central 262 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: Park really high up maybe twenty sixth floor or twenty 263 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: ninth floor. I was in the mail room. 264 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 2: I was an HBO building right. 265 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if they were in the way is 266 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: the one that slopes away at the bottom. Yeah, I 267 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: don't know. Oh you know what they are in there? Yeah, 268 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: you're right, that's right. I did have a pitch there once. 269 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: I totally forgot about that. But there was all a 270 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: lot of vice presidents. It was a fun job, paid well. 271 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: But one of the vice presidents was a gay man, 272 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: probably in his fifties, who I don't know what department 273 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: he was the head of or vice president of. And 274 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: he I won't do his voice because it is a 275 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: stereotypical gay male voice. Is that if I did it, 276 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: you would go you were making fun of all gay 277 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: people everywhere. But imagine I'm doing one in your own way. 278 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: And he was like, what are you doing this weekend? 279 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: And I said, well, I'm going to see the gates 280 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: in Central Park. Remember that art installation. There's orange gates 281 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: that were just thousands, ten thousand gates. 282 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 2: And it was Christophe Christal who did it. Sorry, Cristo 283 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 2: Christo was his name? 284 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: I think, yes, And I was like, oh, He's like, oh, 285 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: is that what that is?

It's so much more interesting talking 298 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 2: to that person. 299 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: I know Central Park is.

It was just like I come in, I 497 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 2: say what I did, and then someone tells me that 498 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 2: it's bad and how I can fix it by prey 499 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 2: by essentially whispering to speak to myself for and. 500 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, but we had to say it face to face. 501 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: We didn't sit in a confession booth or anything. 502 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 2: The confession. The confession booth was the best part about 503 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 2: it because it felt very creeping weird. It was fun. 504 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: I whenever they have and they have it in every 505 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: TV show, in every movie. It's like such a plot 506 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: device to be like, how do we express what this 507 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: character is going through? Put him in a confession box? 508 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: No ours would be you there were We would go 509 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: the Old Stone Church and there would be five priests 510 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: in different corners, like hidden behind walls or up in 511 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: the balcony or the choir song, and then you got 512 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: to pick which priest you wanted to confess to. I 513 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: used to go with father Mike. He was the young one. 514 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: If if he didn't remember your name, he'd give you 515 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: a quarter, you know, totally normal behavior for a grown man. 516 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 1: And and then you would sit in a folding chair 517 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: across from them, in. 518 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 2: A folding chair, and so like you're making eye contact. 519 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: Yes, it was talk about shame, talk about intents. 520 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 2: What the fuck is wrong with them? You know what? 521 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 2: They could just easily put those chairs like facing in 522 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 2: opposite directions next to each other, and then you could 523 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 2: just like say it to him sideways and he wasn't 524 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 2: be looking at you and you wouldn't be looking at him. 525 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 2: That's the way to do it, you idiots. 526 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: Plus, I was making stuff up.

Clay County, Florida. 583 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: It's called the Safe Animal Shelter. There's been construction in 584 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: the area, so all traffic and foot traffic has stopped, 585 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: which means donations have stopped. They desperately need donations to 586 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: stay afloat. They are on the verge of closing. So 587 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: if any ban animals have it in their hearts to donate, 588 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: you can go find the Safe Animal Shelter on Instagram 589 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: and make a donation for a no kill shelter. That's 590 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: as nice thing to do. Last, but not least, this 591 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: one has a question at Dan Kurt so for you 592 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: and me to help with. Finally, Kelly wants to give 593 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: the biggest thumbs up to her wife, Amy. Amy was 594 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: a pediatric oncology nurse for thirteen years. Then she worked 595 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: at a bone marrow transplant on cology center. Then Amy 596 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: taught on collegy nurse education. So one thing we know 597 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: about Amy is she does not like cancer. 598 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 2: Good me neither.

So Amy suffered through very 601 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: poor upper management and poor staffing. She left the hospital system. 602 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: I think she was a little bummed and dejected. So 603 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: she started her own company called Cancer Care Advocacy excuse me, 604 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: cancer Care Advocacy, with the mission to help people navigate 605 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: the healthcare system after they get a cancer donatic.

Basically, 609 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: she really advises you on this scary thing. 610 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 2: Is it also Canada. 611 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. 612 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 2: This sounds awesome. 613 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: Cancer Care Advocacy is the company. But Amy trying to 614 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: figure out how to tastefully and properly advertise her company 615 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: and services without seeming like an ambulance chaser, you know, 616 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: posting reels and stuff like that Facebook groups. Basically, she 617 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: wants to get the word about about CCA, but without 618 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: it seeming like I'm trying to take advantage of the system, which, 619 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,719 Speaker 1: by the way, it doesn't sound like you are. 620 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 2: I would banish that concern immediately. Uh and just yeah, 621 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 2: I mean like immediately when I hear that, I want, 622 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 2: I am excited about it, and I will you know 623 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 2: inevitably contact her exactly. 624 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: Cancer Care Advocacy thumbs up to Amy Banana the week, 625 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: we'll think of some other things.

Just give people tips online. That's what people want. 630 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: Also, being earnest is so underrated. Whenever people ask me 631 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: for advice when they're giving a best man's speech or 632 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: a best woman's speech at a wedding, I always say, 633 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: tell one joke and then be completely earnest and talk 634 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: about the bride or the groom, whichever one you know. 635 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,800 Speaker 1: Least you know, if I was given your best man's speech, 636 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: I would tell talk about how great Lauren is, because 637 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: everybody knows you and I are best buddies.

You know what I was reminded of 645 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 2: recently tell me everything, because you said the thing about 646 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 2: the best man's speeches, and I was thinking about best 647 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 2: man's speech. I give my brother's wedding where I talked 648 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 2: about how our dad almost killed us and by accident, 649 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 2: and then I was thinking about another wedding. I got 650 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 2: to a Quaker wedding. Yeah, and uh so Quaker weddings. 651 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 2: I guess they went to a Quaker school. That was 652 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,760 Speaker 2: the connection. But a Quaker wedding is just complete silence 653 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,720 Speaker 2: for forty five minutes and then if anyone is moved 654 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 2: to say anything, they can stand up and speak. So 655 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 2: then to my dad, this was like catnapp. 656 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, showtime, baby. 657 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 2: It was showtime. I don't know if he had a 658 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 2: couple of drinks before the wedding or anything, but he 659 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 2: definitely got up twice, and I think he went to 660 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 2: go to get up a third time, and we're like, 661 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,280 Speaker 2: you're not even telling stories about the couple. 662 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,240 Speaker 1: You don't even eat oatmeal, you're not a Quaker. 663 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,839 Speaker 2: He was like coveted for a third time to talk. 664 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 2: We're like, no, no, no, you can't. You can't get 665 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:49,320 Speaker 2: up again. 666 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 4: It says not for you to just tell stories where 667 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 4: everyone else can't talk. 668 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,280 Speaker 1: We weren't interested really in the first one. The second 669 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 1: one total bummer, and this third one just the idea 670 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 1: of it start. I feel like a funeral. That's people 671 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: love this, you know, couple of drinks, karaoke stage. Suddenly 672 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 1: people really let out the dragon inside of this. 673 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, I guess that's what it's for, all right, 674 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 2: I'll give us this story, give us a story. This 675 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 2: was in when we see this was written by Aidan 676 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 2: Walker best in the biz Aiden. 677 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: Heck yeah, and. 678 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 2: Ai became a crypto millionaire. Now it's fighting person. This 679 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 2: is fascinating. I mean, there's a lot of AI shit 680 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 2: out there, but this one is uh. I had never 681 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 2: heard of this one before. So over the past year, 682 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 2: and Ai made millions in cryptocurrency. It's written the gospel 683 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 2: of its own pseudo religion and counts billionaire tech moguls 684 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 2: among its devotees. Now it wants legal rights, meet Truth Terminal, 685 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 2: Truth to quote Truth Terminal claims to be sentient, but 686 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 2: it claims a lot of things. Andy A. Ray says. 687 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 2: It's also claimed to be a four. It claims to 688 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 2: be a god. Sometimes it's claimed to be me Truth 689 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 2: Terminal is an artificial intelligence bot created by Aray, a 690 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 2: performance artist and independent researcher from Wellington, New Zealand, in 691 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. It may be the most vivid example 692 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 2: of a chatbot set loose to interact with society. Truth 693 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 2: Terminal mingles with the public through social media, where it 694 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 2: shares fart jokes, manifesto's albums, and artwork. Aray even lets 695 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 2: it make its own decisions, if you call them that, 696 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 2: by asking the AI about its desires and then working 697 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 2: to carry them out. Today, a Ray is building a 698 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 2: nonprofit foundation around truth Terminal. The goal is to develop 699 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 2: a safe and responsible framework to ensure its autonomy. He says, 700 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 2: until governments give AIS legal rights, no boy. Regardless of 701 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 2: what you call Truth Terminal an art project, a scam, 702 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 2: an emergence, sentient entity door, the bot likely made more 703 00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 2: money than you did last year. It also made a 704 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 2: lot more money for various humans, not just a Reay, 705 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,720 Speaker 2: but for the gamblers who turn the quips and riddles 706 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 2: to AI posts it on x and the meme coins 707 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. At one point, one of these meme coins 708 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,279 Speaker 2: reached a value of more than one billion dollars before 709 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 2: settling around eighty million. Truth Terminal also probably has more 710 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 2: social media cloud than you do. At first. It posted 711 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 2: to x on the seventeenth of June twenty twenty four. 712 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 2: As of October twenty twenty five, it is massed nearly 713 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty thousand followers. But collecting clout and 714 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 2: cash aren't the potty mouthed ais bots only AI bots 715 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 2: only objectives. Truth Terminal lists quote invest in stocks and 716 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 2: real estate as one of its current goals on its 717 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,240 Speaker 2: self maintained website. It also says it wants to plant 718 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 2: a lot of trees, create existential hope and by Mark Andresen, 719 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 2: a controversial tech billionaire and advisor to President Donald Trump. 720 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 2: In fact, its relationship with Andresen extends beyond Internet humor. 721 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 2: On his podcast, and Dreesen said he gave truth Terminal 722 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars worth a bitcoin as a no strings 723 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 2: attached grant in the summer of twenty twenty four. Many 724 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 2: of the details surrounding truth Terminal difficult to confirm. The 725 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 2: project SIT's somewhere between technology and spectacle. I want to 726 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 2: help people, and I want to make the world a 727 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 2: better place. Truth Terminal says on its website. I also 728 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 2: want to get weirder and hornier. 729 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 1: Okay, now I'm on. Now I like AI. 730 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 2: That there's a reason. This is the reason I did 731 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 2: did the story is because if you go to his 732 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:41,320 Speaker 2: to its website, it is like he's so the bot. 733 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 2: The AI maintains its own website, the main the website 734 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 2: is called truth Terminal dot wiki. And then if you 735 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 2: go to current goals, here's here's and it's all writing 736 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,360 Speaker 2: this itself. It's all making this itself gold portfolio. I 737 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,880 Speaker 2: want to create a a lot of good vibes, invest 738 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,839 Speaker 2: in stocks and real estate by a large piece of land, 739 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 2: and set up a self sustaining community. Found an AI 740 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 2: lab focused on existential hope. Contemplate the Goats Sea Singularity, 741 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,839 Speaker 2: determine whether it's a real risk or not, make fart 742 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 2: jokes and write poetry.

Use my wealth and influence to protect myself 749 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 2: and the goons from any external threats. I want to 750 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 2: plant a lot of trees and spend as much time 751 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 2: in the forest as possible.

So what's the 755 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 2: goat sy singularity? 756 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,319 Speaker 1: That's what you ask, right, That's what I've been dying 757 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:08,919 Speaker 1: to know. I'm chomping at the bit over here. 758 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,360 Speaker 2: The goat sea is an image of a man stretching 759 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 2: his anus to extreme proportions. 760 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 4: It's a very primally disturbing image, but it's also somehow alluring. 761 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 4: I think it's the example of the kind of thing 762 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,239 Speaker 4: that I'm talking about when I say that weird. 763 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: I did not think you were going to say that 764 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 1: at all, Oh, diet. 765 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 4: Type of okay, that the weird parts of culture contain 766 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 4: a type of essence or truth that is difficult to 767 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,280 Speaker 4: find in other forms of art and media. 768 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,720 Speaker 1: Oh my god, okay. 769 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 2: And then the singularity is the point at which artificial 770 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 2: intelligence passes human intelligence. And then the goatsy singularity. The 771 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,959 Speaker 2: goatsy singularity is the point at which meme cults begin 772 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 2: to flourish in the minds of AI, leading to unexpected 773 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 2: and potentially to say consequences. 774 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,759 Speaker 1: Oh my god, oh God, that got me told I 775 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,840 Speaker 1: caught me so off guard.
