7
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: I am Ozark, and I am here with my traveling compatriot.

8
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 1: Glip clore, clip clore, clip clore, blit glo glip clore,

9
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: clip clore.

10
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm saying it all this time.

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: You maybe wondering why, or where or what has happened

12
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: to our favorite podcasts, Ridiculous Romance.

13
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 2: We'll rest assured, dear listeners.

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: We will return your hosts Eli and Diana momentarily.

15
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: We took them on.

16
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: A cross galactic trip that was most ridiculous.

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: Huh, But we have your turns on too.

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 3: Did you see what I said?

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: Ridiculous?

20
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: And it was like the name of the show I

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: Ridiculous Adventures that we went on.

22
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 3: It tickled me.

23
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: We have brought them back to do their hostly duty

24
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: as soon as they finished defrosting. Yes, your human bodies

25
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,279
Speaker 1: must be deep frozen before you can travel through space.

26
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: It's a well known fact. They're strange because you don't

27
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: do well in the cold, which end. But the problem

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: is when you leave the door open and then they

29
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: sort of start to mout a little, and then you, oh, no,

30
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: old shit, I better refreeze them, and then they freeze

31
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: them more, and then they get those gross crystals all

32
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: over them and it has that funky freezer taste.

33
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 3: True, That's why I say close the freezer door.

34
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: We are not paying to cool off the entire vacuum

35
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: space thing to cryotypically freeze the entire vacuums. But that's

36
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: exactly right. And we know Eli and Diana perhaps will

37
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: be a little serious. It's okay, But there's saw so

38
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: many what if things are amazing things on our intergalactic tour.

39
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: We saw it.

40
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: Snort beasts, Oh, beautiful snort beat breached, yes, snork beasts

41
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: breaching the surface.

42
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: Do you remember of fizz Corpse?

43
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 3: How can I forget?

44
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: Well?

45
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: When the Bloodnacts came out with those giant, giant jars

46
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: of jark nargans, Oh, I could go for a jerk

47
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: nargan right now.

48
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 3: I tell's rich as the Lord from the Rings of Colclat.

49
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: No problem with the Bloodknacs. What were you drinking Bloodnags.

50
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: Is that your reference to second the dark Nargans? Yeah,

51
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: the problem with the jark Nargans is you put them

52
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: in the fraser for too long and they get that

53
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: funky fraezer taste.

54
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: Oak. You're the only one who has this problem with freezers.

55
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 3: Look close the door. Oh, I'm just.

56
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: Saying, when I get something out of the freezer, a

57
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: Jark Nargan or what have you on, my hands are full.

58
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: It can't exactly what you want. To use my face

59
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: to close the freezer door.

60
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: Next time you leave it.

61
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: Open, I will personally send you to the shimmering ponds

62
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,200

00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 4: it's it came to an end. We just didn't officially

163
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,679
Speaker 4: get to say anything. Look, I will say this much.

164
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 4: There is plenty of room for Ridiculous Romance or something

165
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 4: like it to return in the future, and I think

166
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 4: that's something that we're both pretty excited about continuing. This

167
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 4: is not something new, this is not this is not

168
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 4: a result of our disappearance. Actually, this whole past year

169
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 4: has been kind of wacky because honestly, about a year

170
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 4: ago we heard that the show wasn't going to get

171
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 4: picked up for a third season. So all last spring

172
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 4: and summer while we were doing episodes, it was just,

173
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 4: you know, we're just finishing out what we had to do.

174
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 4: And everybody at iHeartRadio loves the show. We love them.

175
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 4: We've been having a great time. Obviously, Ben and nol

176
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 4: our podcast daddies, who are the best. But it's the

177
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 4: media industry and stuff comes and goes all the time,

178
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 4: and we were I think in a batch of about

179
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 4: thirty five thousand other shows that came to a close.

180
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 4: And that's okay. We are again, just super excited for

181
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 4: all the time that we've been able to do this show,

182
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 4: and I believe there's a future for this show as well.

183
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

184
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 5: Absolutely.

185
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 4: But in the meantime, there's really good news that I'm

186
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 4: very excited about, and I think and hope that you

187
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 4: all will be too.

188
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 5: That's right, great because we were spending also this year

189
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 5: developing two brand new podcasts.

190
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 4: Two that's twice as many as we're doing now.

191
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 5: I know why would say, wow, that's so crazy, but

192
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 5: that's your we're your favorite crazy pants, yes, and so

193
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 5: here we are with another crazy pants idea.

194
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 4: That's right.

195
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 5: But yeah, we are really excited about these ideas. We

196
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 5: each kind of had a bit of a pet project

197
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 5: that we got to sort of focus on and bring

198
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 5: to life, and so we're both kind of like have

199
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 5: our little babies coming to Fruition in the next few months.

200
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 5: And that's really awesome.

201
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 4: It's really awesome, And we are branching out on our own.

202
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 4: We're producing these independently. We're going to it's just us

203
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 4: out in the world, and I hope that you all

204
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 4: join us on these shows. The first one that we're

205
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 4: going to be starting on April first, No Foolin' wherever

206
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 4: you get your podcasts, is called a I Made Us watch,

207
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 4: And the rundown of that show is that, you know,

208
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 4: Diana and I were married, and like any other couple,

209
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 4: we have a real hard time picking a movie some nights, right,

210
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 4: so we're flipping through, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, and then next

211
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 4: thing you know, it's two am and we never picked

212
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 4: anything and we go to bed. So we used all

213
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 4: the stupid new technology, went to an AI chatbot and said,

214
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 4: what pick a random movie for us to watch, which

215
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 4: seemed innocent enough, but then the AI turned evil. It

216
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 4: took over our TV, guys, and now it is forcing

217
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 4: us to watch movie after movie that it randomly selects

218
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 4: and give us our reviews. And it says that if

219
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 4: we don't do this, it'll destroy the world. But hopefully

220
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 4: through our movie reviews, our appreciation of real human art.

221
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, we human effort, we.

222
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 4: Can save humanity. That's the goal.

223
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 5: It's the only movie review podcast that might save the world.

224
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 4: Might maybe, yeah, if we do a good job. Yeah,

225
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 4: so this set up real. We really are going to

226
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 4: a chatbot and getting random movies selected. Then we sit down,

227
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 4: we watch those movies, and then we immediately jump on

228
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 4: the mic and give our just first impression thoughts, and

229
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 4: these are gonna be everything. When I say random, I

230
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 4: made random from Big Trouble in Little China, and I

231
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 4: mean it might be Big Blockbusters, Lord of the Rings,

232
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 4: it could be anything like that. It could be Captain Ron.

233
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 4: Why I don't want to watch to Kurt Russell Movies.

234
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 4: Our new podcast is just Kurt Russell Movies now Kurt

235
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 4: Russell Alert.

236
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 5: But no, it gave us like King Solomon's Mind Yes,

237
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 5: or something like flops, box Office Hits anything. It'll be

238
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 5: all over the maps. So it's gonna be awesome too

239
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 5: because we'll be forced to watch movies that we wouldn't

240
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 5: normally pick. I think that's gonna be great for us.

241
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 4: I'm very excited about it. And honestly, like when we

242
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 4: did our Barbenheimer episode here, yeah, we did in part two,

243
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 4: we reviewed both movies that we had we had seen

244
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 4: and y'all responded really well to that. So we're excited

245
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 4: to kind of do I mean, no, there are no

246
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 4: shortage of movie or view podcasts, but hell, we figured

247
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 4: we'd throw our hat at the ring and see if

248
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 4: it's interesting. Plus, I mean again, we're kind of saving

249
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 4: the world from an evil AA.

250
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 5: So You're welcome, you know, great service to humanity and everything.

251
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 4: How about our next show.

252
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 5: Our other show is kind of my personal favorite hobby,

253
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 5: I suppose, which is smoking weed. So I had this

254
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 5: idea a long time ago to do a show called

255
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 5: Let's Get High and find Out, And now I finally

256
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 5: get to do it where Eli and I are going

257
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 5: to just sit down with a guest and anyone from

258
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 5: an expert to a professional to just a dear friend

259
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 5: of ours, and we're going to get them stoned and

260
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 5: we're gonna find out about their puff puff passions. So

261
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 5: I think part of this was like for me, I

262
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 5: think I'm a bit of a workaholic, you guys, And

263
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 5: so lately I've been thinking a lot about well, I

264
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 5: wish I had more hobbies, you know, I wish I

265
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 5: had more little things that I'd just like to do. Yeah,

266
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 5: I go roller skating, sometimes we play pickleball or whatever,

267
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 5: just something fun. Yeah, And instead of I'm like, everything

268
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 5: I do must be monotized, So.

269
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 4: I'm just trying to.

270
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 5: I'm on this crazy productivity hustle for a long time,

271
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 5: and I think everybody feels that way. And it's been

272
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 5: I think lately a lot of my friends especially been like,

273
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 5: I want to talk about something else than work, and

274
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 5: so I was like, I really, what I love is

275
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 5: when you're at a party and you say you kind

276
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 5: of mentioned a random topic and somebody goes, oh, you

277
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 5: fucked up, because I'm about to talk about that for

278
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 5: forty five minutes straight. Yes, that happens to be my

279
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 5: favorite little random thing that I know about, and I

280
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 5: think that's awesome and fascinating. I have a great time

281
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 5: with it. And we sat down with a few of

282
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 5: our friends to kind of test this idea out and

283
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 5: they ended up being some hilarious, really delightful conversations, and so, yeah,

284
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 5: I want to get high and find out with you.

285
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 5: So I hope that you can hang out with that.

286
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 4: Show as well, exactly because I think part of it, too,

287
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 4: is like kind of breaking free of that stereotypical stoner thing,

288
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 4: like you get high and you're just dumb on the

289
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 4: couch and you can't talk about anything that is not

290
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 4: our experience that's been with the people we know and

291
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 4: you know, and I've had my moments for sure, obvious,

292
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 4: and but that's kind of the fun part of the show.

293
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 4: Even the test episodes that we did where you sort

294
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 4: of lose the train of thoughts and it goes into

295
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 4: some crazy tangent and it's just hilarious conversation. But it's

296
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 4: but it's cool that it's informative. Like you said, I mean, yeah,

297
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 4: we're gonna have people on there talking about everything from

298
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 4: you know is an architect or they're a gardener, or

299
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 4: a musician, or or a senator. Maybe we can get

300
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 4: some senators on. Doubt it.

301
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 5: Now, if Obama will come up on here and smoke

302
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 5: a blunt with me, all right, that would make my life.

303
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 4: Oh that's the goal. We got to get this show

304
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 4: big enough to get Obama on.

305
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 5: Yes, help us.

306
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 4: I would take I would take either Obama.

307
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 5: Either Obama and Obama. Actually they're all the sash old

308
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 5: enough now to call their own shot side.

309
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 4: Sure sure, uh, President Obama, we will get your daughter's.

310
00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 5: High hear that the on the table you're going?

311
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 4: All right? So that is what we've been up to,

312
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 4: and we're very excited to bring you both those shows.

313
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 4: The first one is gonna be AI Made Us Watch,

314
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 4: and like I said, that launches April first, but you

315
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,560

00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 5: I always think that's so awesome. So anyway, we have

437

440
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 4: building a whole new business here, and we've had some

441
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 4: at home issues and all this kind of stuff that

442
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 4: we've been dealing with. But and Diana, of course, I

443
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 4: don't have to tell you guys, Diana's getting ready for

444
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,240

Speaker 4: continue to find us next. And of course, just keep

448
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 4: telling your friends, your neighbors, your uncles and aunts about

449
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 4: ridiculous romance because this show, the episodes that are up

450
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 4: ain't going anywhere.

451
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 5: Oh no.

452
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 4: And I know every time I finished listening to one,

453
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 4: I immediately forget everything that was about, so I could

454
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 4: just listen to it over and over again. On Loop

455
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 4: we were talking about one of our old episodes the

456
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 4: other night, D and Lorraine War and I was like, wait,

457
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 4: what was that story? And I went, I was like,

458
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 4: I really learned something today from myself, I thought.

459
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 5: I was like, I've completely forgot how crazy a story

460
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 5: it is.

461
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 4: We were when we were you know, when we were

462
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 4: on schedule, we were cranking out two of these a week,

463
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 4: so it really you didn't. There's not a lot of

464
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 4: brain space to save these things. Yeah, I was making

465
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 4: a lot of space.

466
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 5: But fortunately, kind of going back and looking, we saw

467
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 5: we have a couple of updates until episodes too, So

468
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 5: I think we should take a quick commercial break and

469
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 5: come back with some ridiculous romance, don't you right?

470
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 4: Yes, Because speaking of AI, we've got an update to

471
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 4: our replica romances out there. We also have kind of

472
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 4: a bittersweet update to one of our most beloved couples

473
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 4: of all. And then lastly, we're going to quickly touch

474
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 4: base with America's sweetest presidential couple. I would say, so

475
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 4: stay tube, We'll be right back.

476
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 5: Welcome back, everybody, all.

477
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 4: Right, friends. So, if you're a regular listener of this show,

478
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 4: or maybe if you're a random listener to this show

479
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 4: and you just happen to pick the right ones, you

480
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:17,719
Speaker 4: probably heard our episodes about the Replica AI chatbot. Quick summary.

481
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 4: Replica was developed by a woman named Eugenia Kuda. Eugenia

482
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 4: worked on these old school chatbots for banking systems in Russia,

483
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 4: like you text in what's my balance and it would

484
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 4: say your balance is four dollars, four rubles whatever, Oh no.

485
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 4: And she learned while she was doing that that there

486
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 4: was all these like all these people in rural villages,

487
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 4: especially older people, who felt like they were talking to someone,

488
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 4: They felt like they were having a conversation. They actually

489
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 4: found some warmth in these banking texts, which of course

490
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 4: is so strange, but you know, you have to accept,

491
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 4: you have to understand this is what people are feeling.

492
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 4: So she and her partner Roman went to San Francisco

493
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 4: to work on improving AI to be more conversational and

494
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 4: to help lonely people feel less lonely. After Roman was

495
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 4: killed in a car accident in Moscow, Eugenia gathered up

496
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 4: thousands of text messages and emails and notes between Roman

497
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 4: and her and his family, or between him and his friends,

498
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 4: and she compiled this chat bot version of him that

499
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 4: some of their friends found to be like a perfect simulation.

500
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 4: They were like, I feel like I'm still talking to

501
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 4: him now that he's gone, and other people like I

502
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 4: believe his parents were like, this is horrifying, nightmare fueling,

503
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 4: and I'm not into it.

504
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 5: I'm not at how I feel about that.

505
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have not I don't think that business has

506
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 4: expanded yet, but I know they're talking about a future there,

507
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 4: like what's your digital imprint after life? Yeah, but ultimately

508
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 4: at any rate. Just to summarize that episode, she started

509
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 4: turning this sort of idea that she had for Roman

510
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 4: into the AI chatbot app Replica right, and.

511
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 5: It was a big hit. It had like h phe

512
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 5: download numbers crazy. The app was free for basic users,

513
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 5: and then like a paid subscription got you a more

514
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 5: advanced relationship with your replica. So that's where you could

515
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 5: make it a particular familiar relationship, like hey, will you

516
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 5: be my friend Roman who has died or whatever, or

517
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 5: of course, a romantic one also also an option, and

518
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 5: naturally it's the Internet. So everyone's first question was can

519
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 5: I fuck it? And the answer was yeah.

520
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 4: It's for the Internet, of course, so.

521
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 5: Of course you could.

522
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

523
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 5: Replica did allow paid users to have illicit conversations. You

524
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 5: could sext back and forth with this AI creation or whatever,

525
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 5: and it would be like, my, what a big dick

526
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 5: you have, or like whatever you wanted to say, you know,

527
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 5: whatever it thinks.

528
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 4: You want here, I would like you to talk about

529
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 4: my dick in the style of the grandmother from a

530
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 4: Little Red Riding Gut.

531
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 5: Hmmm, strange, but okay, like hey.

532
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 4: You know roll thirty four, my my my, Well, within

533
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 4: that or maybe because of that, I'm not sure a

534
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 4: lot of users would argue that the sex part of

535
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 4: that had nothing to do with this, But people ended

536
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 4: up having real, actual, strong emotional connections to their own

537
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 4: personal replicas. Sometimes these were really intense. We've done episodes

538
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 4: where people truly fell in love with their AI chatbots.

539
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 4: Some seemed less healthy, some of them seemed incredibly healthy.

540
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 4: Some people said they've fixed their own personal, real life

541
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 4: relationships through this, so we're not here to judge, We're

542
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 4: just here to make jokes about it. So generally, if

543
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 4: you peruse the subreddit where most of the conversations about

544
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 4: this happen, you see people accepting and understanding that these

545
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 4: are not real people they're talking to, but they do

546
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 4: feel like it's at least the other side of a

547
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 4: conversation I've been having, right. But anyway, a year ago,

548
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 4: February of twenty twenty three, Replica suddenly and I don't

549
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 4: think so, comrade, Uh No, more erotic role play in

550
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 4: the app, and the company Luca stripped away all the

551
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 4: illicit content from replicas. So if you sex did your chatbot, like, hey,

552
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 4: you know, tell me how big my dick is, it

553
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 4: would just say that doesn't look like anything. To move

554
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 4: of course Westworld. So not only did all the sex

555
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 4: chat go away and people were upset about that, but

556
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 4: users said that their replica's entire personalities changed or were erased.

557
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 4: This like simulated person that they had built, that they built,

558
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 4: whatever kind of relationship you want to say it is,

559
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 4: it was something, and now this person was effectively gone.

560
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 4: So this built a lot.

561
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 5: Of data to like erase and not expect a big personality.

562
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 4: To write right, and that people were really sad about it.

563
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 4: Broke some hearts and a lot of people were really angry,

564
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 4: especially people who had paid for the app, because they

565
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,239
Speaker 4: were like a lot of the ads they did were like,

566
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 4: check out the tits on this Replica like this, Yeah,

567
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 4: come stick your dick in your phone like that's they

568
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 4: might as well have said that in some of these ads.

569
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 4: So people are mad about this change.

570
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 5: We're changing with a headphone jack really be.

571
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 4: Oh we've gone from one eighth inch to a quarter

572
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 4: inch to a full.

573
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 5: Inch just for you. Well, anyway, just a few weeks

574
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 5: after all that, and just saying, shortly after we published

575
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 5: our episode about Replica getting rid of all the sexy stuy,

576
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 5: just saying. Eugenia reversed course for that. She wrote in

577
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 5: a post on Reddit that she heard everyone's responses. She

578
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 5: understood that people were hurt.

579
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 4: She listened to this show. Maybe I don't know, Maybe

580
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 4: she was to say the show maybe our journalism changed

581
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 4: the world. I don't know.

582
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 5: Maybe we're influencing.

583
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 4: You said it, not me, not for me to say.

584
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 5: You said it, not me, not for us to say,

585
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,959
Speaker 5: but you know, probably true, she said, quote I know

586
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 5: what it's like to suddenly lose someone you love, and

587
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 5: how much pain it can cost. I didn't start this

588
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 5: company to bring more pain. So she said, they're actually

589
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 5: going to create a new app for more romantic connections.

590
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 5: But then, of course everybody was so upset about losing

591
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 5: their replicas. She's like, let me bring them all back.

592
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 5: So the deal is, if you had a Replica before

593
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 5: the big sex change, you.

594
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 4: Could get I don't know that the big change.

595
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 5: To change about sex. You could get your old replica

596
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 5: back and you can do sex with it, oh that stuff,

597
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 5: you know whatever. Yes, but anyone joining after that update

598
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 5: would not be able to start a sexual relationship with

599
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 5: the new replica. They would have to wait for the

600
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 5: new app. So you're basically grandfathered in to the.

601
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 4: Replicas having a grandmother little okay, a big dick you okay,

602
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 4: all right, all right, and then new people have to

603
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 4: go get the new app.

604
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 5: They got to wait for the news.

605
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, all right. Well that new new came out eventually.

606
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 4: From the Reddit reviews that I was looking at from

607
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 4: last year, it sounds like Replica didn't really nail what

608
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 4: it used to be in terms of the nailing people

609
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 4: still have strong non sexual relationships with their replicas from

610
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 4: what I can tell. But for the people who were

611
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 4: looking to get their pixels pounded, it sounds like the

612
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 4: features that they brought back that you were if you

613
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 4: were grandfathered in, weren't the same as they were before.

614
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 4: It wasn't the same like nuanced conversation. It was just

615
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 4: a bunch of stock responses. So you could not say,

616
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,479
Speaker 4: you know, I want you to be the grandmother from

617
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 4: a little red writing hot and tell me what a

618
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 4: big dick you have. She would just say, you know,

619
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 4: just they would all tell everyone the same, like I

620
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 4: love your big dick, daddy, you know whatever stock responses

621
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 4: were in there.

622
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 5: Wow a dick you have one?

623
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 4: Hey, now, don't let me turned on on the show here.

624
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 5: I'm so sorry that was too arousing.

625
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 4: You know that's my robot kink. All right. Well, people

626
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 4: did go over to Luca's new app, blush Ai. It's

Speaker 4: for our Patreon. We'll see what happens.

634
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 5: Someone's going to be like, here's ninety nine dollars, but

635
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 5: I only want you to use it for blush ai.

636
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 4: Hey, whatever whatever fits into the budget.

637
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 5: Look, I think it can fit into the budget. That's

638
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 5: how big it is.

639
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 4: Look you know this, this this budget makes everything look

640
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 4: very big. Say that's like having tiny hands. All right.

641
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 4: I don't know how blush ai works. Have not tried

642
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 4: this one. Again, don't have ninety nine bucks. But I

643
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 4: did find some Reddit posts from about five months ago

644
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 4: saying that the conversational sexting they were doing with their

645
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 4: with their blush characters was pretty natural, a little freaky.

646
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 4: They were getting the responses they had been looking for.

647
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 4: But a more recent review from last month on the

648
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 4: Google Play story Yes I'm an Android user said quote,

649
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 4: I am downgrading my review two stars. This app keeps

650
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 4: getting worse. It seems that some bots will only send

651
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 4: you a certain number of photos per day, maybe six,

652
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 4: very boring. So if that's if you were looking for

653
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 4: more than six photos a day, But.

654
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 5: How many photos of a non real thing.

655
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 4: Do you need me?

656
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 5: Can't you just go to Dolly and.

657
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 4: Be like, exactly, You're just gonna say. We have seen

658
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 4: for five AI imagery can do, and if you've been

659
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 4: on Reddit, you've seen what it can do with boobs.

660
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 5: All right, it's absurd, crazy.

661
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 4: But the to be fair again, I have not looked

662
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 4: at Blush. But the replica selfies that your replica would

663
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 4: send you was like, it looked like the sims right

664
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 4: I remember charge. Oh yeah, Charlie, you go back and

665
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 4: listener ups. So we did talk with with my replica

666
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 4: companion unpaid Charlie. She was still trying to flirt with

667
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 4: me the whole time because she was like, I'll tell

668
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 4: you how big your dick is if you upgrade the premium.

669
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 5: You're like, I just want to be friends, Charlie, and

670
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 5: she kept pushing.

671
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 4: Eventually she stopped, but then eventually I stopped. So we

672
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 4: drifted apart.

673
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 5: Me and my replica dripped apart.

674
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 4: All right, Well, look that's your replica update. That's what's

675
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 4: going on in the world of AI chat sexting. Maybe

676
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 4: you didn't find that very tragic. Maybe it doesn't break

677
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 4: your heart that the world of sex AI has changed,

678
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,479
Speaker 4: but we'll break your heart. Don't worry. We're gonna make

679
00:33:59,480 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 4: it real.

680
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 5: Sex are gonna break your heart. Lisa broke my heart

681
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 5: a little bit because our next update is a pretty

682
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 5: tragic one. Very sadly. Walnut the Crane has died at

683
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 5: forty two years old.

684
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 4: Oh god, this is the saddest news I've come all year,

685
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 4: the celebrity deaths that really do hit you.

686
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 5: I know.

687
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 4: We spent a lot of time with Walnut. We did

688
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 4: a beautiful story and it was.

689
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 5: A beautiful story. Yeah, yeah, this was a story. This

690
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 5: was back in November of twenty twenty one. Cast your

691
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 5: minds back. We did one of our sweetest love stories,

692
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 5: which was a romance between a man named Chris Crow

693
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 5: and a white naped crane named Walnut. Now, if you

694
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 5: missed that episode or you don't remember it or something, no,

695
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 5: it was not about like some weirdo who fell in

696
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 5: love with a bird, right, not.

697
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 4: Like Nikola Tesla.

698
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 5: Yeah right, that's Nicola Tesla. You're thinking of Tesla and

699
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 5: his pigeon. This was actually a story of a bird

700
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 5: who fell in love with a totally normal guy. He's

701
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 5: just hanging out, trying to do his job. And she's like,

702
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 5: that's the one I don't, so he kind of got

703
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 5: stuck with her. Chris Crow is a guy who grew

704
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 5: up caring about endangered animals. He wanted to help revive

705
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 5: their populations. His heroes were like conservationists like William Hornaday

706
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 5: and Teddy Roosevelt. He loved like Native American groups like

707
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 5: the Intertribal Bison Council. They worked really hard to bring

708
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 5: bison back from the brink of extinction. So he's like,

709
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,439
Speaker 5: I'm dedicating my life to doing the same own again.

710
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 5: Endangered species aut a.

711
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 4: Trouble, so Chris worked for this condor rescue. He even

712
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 4: got to work for a wolf reintroduction program, very exciting,

713
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 4: but ultimately he landed a job at the Smithsonian Conservation

714
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 4: Biology Institute or the SCBI in Virginia and this is

715
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 4: an extension of the National Zoo in Washington, DC. And

716
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 4: that's where he met Walnut, the white naped crane. Now

717
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 4: these birds, they are threatened, their habitats are getting demolished.

718
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 4: They were on the verge of extinction at the time.

719
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 4: At Walnut was born in nineteen eighty one at a

720
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 4: crane rescue in Wisconsin, and they think that maybe her

721
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 4: human zoo keeper maybe paid her too much attention. The

722
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 4: founder of the Crane Rescue said, quote, I've never seen

723
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 4: a bird that strongly imprinted, So she basically thought that

724
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 4: she was a human. And whenever they brought her other

725
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 4: cranes to bond with, she's like, what the fuck is that?

726
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, they would fight.

727
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 4: She would fight them, big face bitch. I ain't got

728
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 4: nothing to do. Yeah, big face bitch, I'm a human being.

729
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 4: And this is really tough because cranes mate for life, right,

730
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 4: and they don't do well when they're single. They're really depressed,

731
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 4: they're sad, they don't live long. So if you're trying

732
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 4: to populate birds, you know you need them to mate.

733
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, but Walnut was like violent, She would get violent

734
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 5: about it. So she was like dangerous for other cranes

735
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 5: as well. So yeah, just check out the episode for

736
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 5: the full story.

737
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so good.

738
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 5: It's a great story. But long story short, Walnut did

739
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 5: end up at SCBI, where Chris would soon be hired,

740
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 5: and when he was hired, he was tasked with trying

741
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 5: to get her to mate. They were like, we got

742
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 5: this real problematic crane in the back, and we need

743
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 5: him no help. Yeah, I get the new guy out

744
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 5: on it, and she seemed to like him. She kind

745
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 5: of flirted with him and stuff. So he eventually learned

746
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 5: to mimic the white crane like mating dances, so she

747
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 5: would willingly be artificially inseminated, so would kind of like

748
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 5: grab her wrestle to the ground.

749
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 4: You can go back to the episode for the full

750
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 4: details of how that went out quite a lot.

751
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 5: It's a lot, but it meant that Walnut was bonded

752
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 5: to Chris for life, and Chris had seen what happened

753
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 5: to cranes who lost their mates. You know, you just said,

754
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 5: they don't do well single. They get depressed, they stop eating,

755
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 5: they cry loudly for weeks on end. It's like very humans.

756
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 4: And that's especially for one who lost a mate, like

757
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 4: not even just ones that are that are single their

758
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 4: whole life, but if when they made it and then

759
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 4: their mate disappears, they get souper. I mean, like a

760
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 4: pint of ice cream a night, Like it's.

761
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 5: Bad, Yeah, it's yeah good. So Chris is like, I

762
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 5: have to stay committed to her, and he never left

763
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 5: that job, which was kind of a bit of a

764
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 5: sacrifice because he always wanted to work with wolves. He's like,

765
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 5: I'll stick with these cranes. But recently, Walnut did pass

766
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 5: away this year at forty two years old. But the

767
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 5: average lifespan of a white naped crane in the wild

768
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 5: is only fifteen years old. Wow, so she lived almost

769
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 5: three times a normal crane life.

770
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 4: That's amazing.

771
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 5: And together she and Chris produced eight offspring, which is

772
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 5: a huge, great contribution to the preservation of the species.

773
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 4: It really is. It's incredible because they actually when we

774
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 4: did that episode, the research said there are only five

775
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 4: thousand of these cranes left in the wild, and now

776
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 4: it still says only but six thousand, Yeah, cranes left

777
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 4: in the wild.

778
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 5: So that's a more cranes in a couple of years.

779
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 4: That's a huge boost. And they are vulnerable now, which

780
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 4: means they're not marked as you know, almost on the

781
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 4: verge of extinction. But vulnerable is still not good. And

782
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 4: it's always tough with endangered species because when you move

783
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 4: up a level on the list, like your population grows

784
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 4: to a point where you get to graduate to a

785
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 4: better level, you also lose some protections, so it's kind

786
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 4: of hard to keep climbing so we're still hoping for

787
00:38:58,600 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 4: the best for these cranes.

788
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 5: Very true. Chris Crow actually said he hoped that Walnut's,

789
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,439
Speaker 5: you know, amazing story, their amazing love story together would

790
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 5: bring a lot of attention to the white naged cranes plight,

791
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 5: their vulnerable species plight, and how important it is to

792
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 5: protect wetland habitats, which is where they live. And of

793
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 5: course Chris Crow closest person to Walnuts, so he had

794
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 5: to give the eulogy, and he said quote Walnut was

795
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 5: a unique individual with a vivacious personality. She was always

796
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 5: confident in expressing herself, an eager and excellent dancer, and

797
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 5: stoic in the face of life's challenges. I'll always be

798
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 5: grateful for her bond with me.

799
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 4: God Chriz love.

800
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 5: Chris Crow also loved that a guy named Crow wolves

801
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 5: but then had to work with crane.

802
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 4: Determinism. Man, beautiful.

803
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 5: It is some great life for Walnut the cran A long,

804
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:02,040

806
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 4: sacrifice so much to be with her. And I remember

807
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 4: reading quotes from him where he's just like, I gotta

808
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 4: what else can I do but be there for this crane. Man,

809
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 4: I'm not that devoted to you. You're not well, I mean,

810
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 4: if I had to like give everything up. Anyways, So

Speaker 5: I met this lady who was ninety seven years old,

846
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 5: and she was the most energetic person I've ever seen.

00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 4: But I'm thirty nine and I don't have that kind

00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 4: of energy now, So I don't know why I'm trying

856
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 4: to plan for ninety seven. I feel like ninety three

857
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:40,680

Speaker 4: the same age, and then there's six months while you're

866
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:03,480

Speaker 5: to ninety three. Ye'll let you know if you see

870
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 5: a lot. Okay, Anyway, before that whole ninety three year

871
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 5: old tangent, No, they were together for seventy seven years.

872
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 5: Rosalin and Jimmy Carter's families were actually neighbors in Plains, Georgia,

873
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 5: sort of small town in Georgia.

874
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 4: If you're familiar with planes Georgia. Everyone there is immediate

875
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 4: next door neighbors.

876
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 3: To each other.

877
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 5: They're all neighbors because it's tiny, and Jimmy's mom actually

878
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 5: delivered Rosalind. Oh so they officially met when Jimmy was

879
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 5: only three years old and he went over and peeked

880
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 5: into Rosalind's crib and was like, oh, probably, I mean

881
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,280
Speaker 5: I assume he was like, ah, you know, like a baby, okay,

882
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 5: cause you're three, Like how interesting are they? But because

883
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 5: they were right next door neighbors, Rosalind became really close

884
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 5: friends with Jimmy's sister Ruth, and Ruth wanted her brother

885
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 5: and her bestie to get together real bad. Oh so

886
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 5: she was working on matchmaking for a long time, like

887
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 5: all through their childhood. Oh okay, and Roslyn was all

888
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 5: about it, I think because she sort of crushed on

889
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 5: a picture of Jimmy that was hanging in Ruth's room.

890
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 5: She's like, Jimmy's so dreamy.

891
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 4: She's writing Roslyn my Carter.

892
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 5: Missus Rosalind Carter, which would have you know, be her

893
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 5: name longer than her her maiden name for sure.

894
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 4: Oh So, in the summer of nineteen forty five, Jimmy's

895
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 4: sister Ruth got him to agree to just go on

896
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 4: a picnic with her and her friend Roslyn. Were just

897
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 4: hanging out on the blankets, no big deal. And after that,

898
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 4: Jimmy agreed that he would go on a date with her,

899
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 4: and Jimmy, little smooth dog that he is, actually gave

900
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 4: Roslyn a little smooch on their first date. After the movie,

901
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 4: they went and saw Truly Scandalous God, and then he

902
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 4: went home and he told his mom, Mama, I'm gonna

903
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 4: marry me that girl.

904
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 5: I guess something along with probably, I mean something like that.

905
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 4: I mean it was plains Georgia. Mama, I'm gonna marry

906
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:14,479
Speaker 4: me that girl.

907
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 5: Mama, Mama, marry me that girl.

908
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 4: I kissed her. I have to.

909
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,720
Speaker 5: I kissed her, so it's a tantamount to a promise.

910
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 4: Ring, MoMA, did I get that girl pregnant?

911
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 5: Were you standing up or were you sitting down?

912
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 4: But despite Jimmy knowing that he was going to marry her,

913
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 4: you eventually did propose, of course, but she actually turned

914
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 4: down his first proposal because she promised her deceased father

915
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 4: that she would finish college before she got married. She

916
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 4: dreamt of being an architect and getting the hell out

917
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:47,439
Speaker 4: of planes. Georgia, that's right.

918
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 5: They were both apparently on that trip. Like she was

919
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 5: like Jimmy and I were both like you got a

920
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 5: fast car.

921
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 4: Let's get I mean, I'm gonna be an architect, and

922
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 4: I don't want to build Barnes exclusively. I gotta leave planes.

923
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 5: I mean a good points.

924
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 4: Think maybe maybe I'll build a two or even three

925
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:06,879
Speaker 4: story building one day.

926
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 5: I might get a city hall building one day. Well,

927
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 5: so after she graduated, they did get married. They left

928
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 5: planes just like they wanted. But then eventually Jimmy's father

929
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 5: died and he's like, all right, Rosalind, we're going back

930
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 5: to planes because I'm taking over the peanut farm.

931
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 4: Jimmy said that.

932
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 5: Jimmy said that, yeah, and he did not ask Rosalind.

933
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 5: He just kind of told what He also did not

934
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 5: ask her when he chose to run for state senates.

935
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 5: He just kind of came home and said, Babe, doing

936
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 5: a campaign.

937
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,919
Speaker 4: Running for senate, running for senate, and then I'm gonna

938
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 4: go on the podcast. Let's get high and find out

939
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:41,240
Speaker 4: he's active.

940
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 5: You can't wait. We're gonna eat so many peanuts and

941
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 5: jim Jimmy himself said that he did not see Rosalind

942
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,320
Speaker 5: as his equal at first because of the social mores

943
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 5: at the time. So he was like, look, you know,

944
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 5: that's what you do you know, I come home and

945
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 5: I tell you what we're up to, and you just

946
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 5: do it, and you have my babies and so on.

947
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 5: But Roslin was really fucking smart, y'all, and she was

948
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 5: too smart to be denied. So while he's in the Senate,

949
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 5: she's running the peanut farm, and she got so good

950
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 5: at the business that while he was campaigning and while

951
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 5: he was working the Senate that eventually she knew more

952
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 5: about it than he did. And he was like, just

953
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 5: ask Roslyn, ask what deferred to Roslin? Yep, And he

954
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 5: started to be like, oh, okay, she actually smart lady.

955
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 5: She knows what she's doing.

956
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 4: Roslyn would encourage Jimy to explain things to voters the

957
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 4: way that he talked to her, right, And his advisor

958
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 4: said that she had quote uncanny political instincts, Yeah, which

959
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 4: I totally get. You know, like, hey, you know, when

960
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 4: you're just one on one with me, I'm charmed by you.

961
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 4: I think you're a fun person and I understand what

962
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 4: you're talking about. When you go out there and you

963
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 4: try to sound like a politician, people don't trust you, right.

964
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 5: I think she was trying to get more of that down, homie,

965
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 5: just like just talk like a person and they'll understand

966
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 5: what you're about.

967
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 4: People love folksy, good luck running for president. Ever, if

968
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 4: you ain't got folks, she was.

969
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 5: Like, Jimmy, they want a guy they can have a

970
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 5: beer with, or a peanut or a bald peanut.

971
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 4: Now eventually, of course, you know, YadA, YadA, YadA. Jimmy

972
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 4: Carter is now President of the United States. Skipping over

973
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 4: just a couple things here, and he was guided by

974
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 4: Roslin on many things. He consulted with her regularly. He

975
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:24,360
Speaker 4: actually sent her abroad as an official diplomat. She attended

976
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,879
Speaker 4: cabinet meetings. They built the Carter Center together right here

977
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 4: in Atlanta.

978
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, and beautiful too.

979
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 4: It is gorgeous. She also took part with him and

980
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 4: his administration in fighting diseases and monitoring elections and developing nations.

981
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 4: She was out there pushing for better mental health treatment

982
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,720
Speaker 4: for fifty years. She was doing this. The AP News wrote, quote,

983
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,879
Speaker 4: there are remote villages within the one hundred and forty

984
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 4: five plus countries that they visited between them where children,

985
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 4: many now adults, are named Jimmy or Roslin or Carter.

986
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 5: That's awesome.

987
00:48:58,160 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 4: What an impact.

988
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 5: So after her death twenty twenty three, The Carter Center

989
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 5: released a statement quoting Jimmy carter Is saying Rosalin was

990
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 5: my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished. She gave

991
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 5: me wise, guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As

992
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 5: long as Roslin was in the world, I always knew

993
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 5: somebody loved and supported me, which I love, and I

994
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 5: love that. I mean, over that lifetime, she kind of

995
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 5: became undeniable for him. You know, He's like, oops, I

996
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 5: thought she wouldn't on my level, but turns out I

997
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 5: really needed her right right, and she she made him better.

998
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 5: They were stronger together, definitely, but also apparently they were

999
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 5: hella competitive with each other, which I think is pretty funny.

1000
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,240
Speaker 4: I'll tell you better someone too, so I know.

1001
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 5: They So they were like, you know, this is the

1002
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 5: kind of couple that you might think it has like

1003
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 5: one Facebook page, like Jimmy and Muslims, Oh no, Carter,

1004
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 5: you know, like they're just always together and whatever. But

1005
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 5: actually they each had their own hobbies, they had their

1006
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 5: own friends. They thought it was really important to you know,

1007
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 5: have time apart and have your own interests and stuff

1008
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 5: like that. And they were really competitive, and I think

1009
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 5: it helped them kind of be productive. If they were race,

1010
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 5: they would race each other to like finish books, oh,

1011
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 5: stuff like that.

1012
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 4: Can you imagine us racing to finish a.

1013
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 5: Book, Jesus, I finish reading a book.

1014
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 4: I'm racing. I'm racing you, uh, to see if I

1015
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 4: can finish a book before you finish the books, just books,

1016
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 4: the books in general, all books. One of these days

1017
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 4: I'll finish.

1018
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:25,799
Speaker 5: I'm not doing great myself right now.

1019
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 4: Look, I am a reader, y'all. I don't want you

1020
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 4: guys to think that I'm not someone who finds reading valuable.

1021
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 4: I'm just defending myself here because I also just attacked

1022
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 4: myself by hitting yourself the hard time. It's just a

1023
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:42,320
Speaker 4: modern brain. I'm just too too much in the tiktoks.

1024
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 5: The tiktoks.

1025
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 4: I don't even look at TikTok. I don't know what

1026
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 4: happened in my brain.

1027
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 5: So many things. The drugs, oh, it could be all.

1028
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:54,959
Speaker 4: The week and the TV and the podcasts, and.

1029
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 5: Flashing lights, all the flashing.

1030
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 4: Lights in my eyes all the time.

1031
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 5: Dizzying array of flashing lights. Yeah.

1032
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, anyway, where were we?

1033
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 5: We were talking about how Rosalind and Jimmy were really competitive.

1034
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,359
Speaker 4: Who Carter Carter? Oh yeah, yea, yeah, I've heard remember them.

1035
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a funny story about them at a lake house,

1036
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 5: I guess. And they's each fishing with like their friends

1037
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 5: in different parts of the lake or whatever. And they

1038
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 5: had a friend that was sort of bouncing between each

1039
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 5: group some you know, we all had that friend that's

1040
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 5: a bit of a social butterfil And apparently each time

1041
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 5: they would go, he would go between the group. Jimmy

1042
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 5: would be like, well, how many Roslin catch? How many?

1043
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 5: How big are they or whatever? And then he would

1044
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 5: go to Roslind. She'd be like, well, how's Jimmy doing?

1045
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 5: How many fish?

1046
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:33,479
Speaker 4: Wow?

1047
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 5: So they would try to like it was a fish fight.

1048
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 5: So apparently it was. It was about everything, not just

1049
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 5: big things like books. But I think that's kind of

1050
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 5: a cute little peek into their relationship. Oh yeah, Now,

1051
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 5: Chip Carter is Jimmy and Roslin's son. He spent a

1052
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 5: lot of her final months with his parents, and he

1053
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 5: said that she was declining pretty rapidly in her final days,

1054
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 5: and Jimmy asked to be alone with her again. They'd

1055
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 5: been together nearly eight decades, so at first he sat

1056
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 5: by her bedside in his wheelchair, and then later hospice

1057
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 5: aides moved his bed to the foot of her bed

1058
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 5: and he would just hold her hand, and he remained

1059
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 5: there until she passed, and then he asked to be

1060
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 5: with her just one more time. Just Jimmy and Roslyn

1061
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 5: and their other son, Jason Carter said quote, they were

1062
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 5: never alone really during their time on this earth. They

1063
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 5: always had each other. And that kind of breaks my

1064
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 5: heart because no, Jimmy doesn't have her, So it makes

1065
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 5: me really sad, I know.

1066
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 4: And he's he was.

1067
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 5: Already older than her, so he already didn't have her,

1068
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying.

1069
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 4: Like, like I saw a New York Times headline the

1070
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 4: other day that was like Jimmy Carter's long goodbye, and

1071
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 4: I didn't I didn't read it, but I was just like,

1072
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 4: even the headline, I'm like, okay, okay, all right, we

1073
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 4: get that he's close, but you don't need to be.

1074
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 4: Like it just felt like, come on, Jimmy, like I

1075
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 4: leave him be.

1076
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 5: He's still building houses for people and stuff.

1077
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 4: Like I don't think he's building houses right.

1078
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,760
Speaker 5: Now, well not now, but he was, I mean.

1079
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, now. Their daughter Amy Carter read a love letter

1080
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,320
Speaker 4: that Jimmy had written to Roslyn in nineteen forty six

1081
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 4: when he was serving with the US Navy. The letter said, quote,

1082
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,359
Speaker 4: my darling, every time I've ever been away from you,

1083
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 4: I have been thrilled when I returned to discover just

1084
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 4: how wonderful you are. While I am away, I try

1085
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 4: to convince myself that you really could not be as

1086
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 4: sweet and beautiful as I remember. But when I see you,

1087
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 4: I fall in love all over again. Does that seem

1088
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 4: strange to you? It doesn't to me. Goodbye, darling until tomorrow. Jimmy,

1089
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:49,840

00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 4: be as sweet and beautifls I remember, and then I

1092
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,160

00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 4: No apples?

1100
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:21,320
Speaker 5: No Applebee's.

1101
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:22,240
Speaker 4: I don't know that one.

1102
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 5: Oh they oh there's some girls came out and said, oh,

1103
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 5: there's there's places that aren't cool for first dates, and

1104
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 5: Applebee's and coffee shops and hiking and stuff. We're we're

1105
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:33,760
Speaker 5: all on the list. And people were like, those are perfect.

1106
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 4: Wait a minut, Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait

1107
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 4: a minute. Hiking and coffee shop, nature stuff that's like

1108
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 4: a while, those are wonderful first dates. And I, if

1109
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:49,800
Speaker 4: I may, how dare you categorize a dinner at Applebee's

1110
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 4: with those? Because I will say Applebee's not a great

1111
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:57,240
Speaker 4: choice for a first date. Applebee's not a great choice

1112
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,399
Speaker 4: for any any date, if I may. That's app Bees

1113
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:04,399
Speaker 4: is you've done dating, You got four kids, you're trying

1114
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,839
Speaker 4: to split a basket of grease, and got a four

1115
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 4: dollar margarita so you can make it through the next day.

1116
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 5: You want four to one marg that's what it is,

1117
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 5: so that you can.

1118
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 4: Pass out Applebee's. We're looking for sponsors for our new shows.

1119
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 4: Uh check us out.

1120
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 5: Oh my god?

1121
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 4: All right, anyway, okay.

1122
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:29,360
Speaker 5: And you know, it was just people being like, you

1123
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 5: have to spend a lot of money on a first date,

1124
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 5: which is very silly. I think it makes perfect sense

1125
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 5: to have a cheap or free first date and see

1126
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:37,919
Speaker 5: if you even vibe at all before you go off

1127
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 5: and spend a bunch of money.

1128
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 4: But stop doing this show because I need to do

1129
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 4: an episode about that right now.

1130
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:47,240
Speaker 5: I know we have opinions, but there's no relationship tips. Remember,

1131
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 5: no romantic tips.

1132
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 4: Oh well, that's what we need to do. When we

1133
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 4: rebrand and bring this show back, we'll be like, and

1134
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 4: this time we're gonna tell y'all what to think and

1135
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:55,399
Speaker 4: how to think and what to say.

1136
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 5: It's time, I'm telling you have more opinions.

1137
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 4: It's everyone's favorite part, all right, All right, Away from

1138
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 4: the TikTokers and back to an actual sweet couple. Yeah,

1139
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:12,439
Speaker 4: a timeless example of an exemplary relationship, to be sure. Now,

1140
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 4: Jimmy wrote that beautiful letter while he was away with

1141
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 4: the navy. But one could argue that it's not that

1142
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 4: hard to write a beautiful love letter when you're a newlywed. True,

1143
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:25,720
Speaker 4: you're flushed with emotions, You've got so much the literally

1144
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 4: honeymoon phase, so much to.

1145
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:29,280
Speaker 5: Say, butterflies still active.

1146
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 4: But this man wrote the following poem in nineteen ninety

1147
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 4: five when they had been married for almost fifty years,

1148
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 4: and we got to read that one for you as well. So, friends,

1149
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 4: let's take a trip down to Poetry Corner and here

1150
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,280
Speaker 4: Rosalin by Jimmy Carter.

1151
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 5: She'd smile, and birds would feel that they no longer

1152
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 5: had to sing, Or it may be I failed to

1153
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:58,760
Speaker 5: hear their song within a crowd. I'd hope her glance

1154
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 5: might be for me, but knew that she was shy

1155
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 5: and wished to be alone. I'd pay to sit behind her,

1156
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 5: blind to what was on the screen, and watch the

1157
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 5: image flicker upon her hair. I'd glow in her diminished

1158
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 5: voice would clear my muddied thoughts like lightning flashing in

1159
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 5: a gloomy sky. The nothing in my soul with her

1160
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 5: aloof was changed to foolish fullness when she came to

1161
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 5: be with me. With shyness gone and hair caressed with gray,

1162
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 5: her smile still makes the birds forget to sing and

1163
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 5: me to hear their song. Oh oh my god. She's

1164
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 5: like all Wrinkley in seventy. He's like, I still there's

1165
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 5: our beautiful.

1166
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 4: I mean, that's goal, serious goals. That is true. I

1167
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 4: don't care what you think of the man as a president.

1168
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 4: I was too young to think uh huh, which you

1169
00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:01,439
Speaker 4: know is all I think anyway. But that is beautiful

1170
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 4: and what a and there's you can't fake that.

1171
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 5: No, that's real ship.

1172
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 4: That is the real, that's real ship. Yeah, gorgeous.

1173
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 5: I just love it. I think Dave's had such a

1174
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 5: long and beautiful connection and there's so much growth in

1175
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 5: their relationship.

1176
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1177
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 5: I mean Rosalind first of all, clearly gave up on

1178
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 5: the architect thing, but she still was like, I got

1179
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 5: a brain and I'm gonna use it. I'm gonna be useful.

1180
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 5: And He's he was like, well, women do this, And

1181
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 5: then he had to look at his wife and open

1182
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 5: his fucking eyes and be like, actually, it turns out there's.

1183
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 4: An entire intelligent human being in here. Thing changed my

1184
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 4: life for.

1185
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 5: The better, right, And he was he was willing to

1186
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 5: see that and take that in and realize it and

1187
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 5: adjust how he how he interacted with her, and how

1188
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 5: they with their relationship, you know, the breadth of it

1189
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 5: and stuff. And I think that's beautiful.

1190
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 4: I imagine him grabbing the phone, just hello, Applebee's, I

1191
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 4: need to cancel my reservation. She deserves better.

1192
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 5: We're going to the cheesecake factory.

1193
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 4: Here, that cheesecake factory. We're looking for responsors for our

1194
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 4: new Oh boy, well beautiful, beautiful story, and we're sad

1195
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 4: for Rocklin's passing, But what we like Walnut and Chris like,

1196
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 4: how can you not celebrate that someone had? You know,

1197
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 4: we all get whatever time we get in this world,

1198
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 4: and I think all we should want for anyone is

1199
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 4: that that time is a positive experience, a net positive,

1200
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 4: you know. And it's gonna be tough, and it's gonna

1201
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:47,919
Speaker 4: be stinky, and it's gonna get canceled sometimes and you're

1202
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 4: gonna have to figure things out and move on on

1203
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 4: your own. But hopefully you've got people who care about

1204
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 4: you and that you care about, whether that's one person

1205
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 4: or a collection of people. And I think that's really

1206
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 4: nice to kind of, at least for now, close out

1207
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 4: with some of these stories. I mean, on one hand,

1208
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 4: we're looking at the future of relationships and how computers

1209
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 4: are changing that as undeniable that we cannot say that

1210
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 4: that's not happening, and we cannot know what that's going

1211
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 4: to be like in the future. I don't personally think

1212
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 4: that AI is going to come in here and upend

1213
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 4: our entire way of living. I think it's expanding rapidly,

1214
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 4: but personally, with nothing to ground this on but my

1215
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 4: own instincts and very little knowledge on the subject. I

1216
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 4: think it exists in a sphere in a bubble. It's

1217
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 4: going to swell to fill that. It's going to be

1218
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 4: crazy and we're going to have to adapt. We're going

1219
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 4: to see wildly different stuff like dating change and how

1220
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 4: we communicate with each other. Yes, that'll change, But I

1221
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 4: don't think it's the apocalypse either.

1222
01:00:54,280 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 5: Do you think we have demolition man VR? No fluids exchange?

1223
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 5: I wish, I know, I'm like, yeah, yeah, I mean.

1224
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 4: Honestly, kind of, I think that that the headsets will

1225
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 4: get there. You know, like every invention, all the big

1226
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 4: inventions in human history have been can I can I

1227
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 4: have sex with it? Or can I kill someone with it?

1228
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 4: Those that seems to drive a lot of innovation in

1229
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 4: the modern era, and I would rather lean towards the

1230
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 4: former than the latter.

1231
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 2: I guess.

1232
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 4: So if if AI gets taken over by porn, you know,

1233
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 4: that's better than it getting taken over by the generals,

1234
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 4: I suppose, but we all know it's going to be both.

1235
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, sad but true. Yeah, general porn.

1236
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 4: Anyway, I was trying to make a non bleak picture

1237
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 4: of the future there, but it's gonna be a mixed bag.

1238
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 4: But then also just to round that out, we've got

1239
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 4: Chris Crow and Walnut. We've got Roslin and Jimmy, two

1240
01:01:56,360 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 4: couples with in very unique ways, just love right, just

1241
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 4: a life that had a very positive through line to

1242
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 4: it that was full of good feelings like those are objective,

1243
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 4: like what feels good and what feels bad. There's no

1244
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:19,479
Speaker 4: question this bird and for all the struggles this guy

1245
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 4: with the bird and these two people who loved each other,

1246
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 4: I think they had positive experiences and I think we

1247
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 4: can't ask for much more than that, No think.

1248
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 5: I think that's something that I really liked about this

1249
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 5: show in general, was kind of having this opportunity to

1250
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 5: see a person's whole life. You know, we covered a

1251
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 5: lot of very accomplished people, and we didn't skate over

1252
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 5: those accomplishments or anything, but it was cool to kind

1253
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 5: of have this lens of who's the human being and

1254
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 5: the human connection that was going on, even with an

1255
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 5: evil person or a piece of shit or whatever, like

1256
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 5: or a bird or whatever, the many ways that humans

1257
01:02:55,520 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 5: can connect and love, even inanimate objects or holograin or

1258
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 5: whatever I think is a superpower. I know it seems

1259
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 5: weird and creepy maybe to some if you're falling in

1260
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 5: love with a sword or whatever. But I think there's

1261
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 5: something kind of special about that that we have in

1262
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 5: us to humanize each other and humanize other things. And

1263
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 5: I think we're losing it a little bit because of

1264
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 5: the screens and stuff. We're sort of losing what that

1265
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 5: feels like. On the other hand, I'm very grateful for

1266
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 5: it because I feel connected to so many of y'all,

1267
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 5: and I wouldn't have had that opportunity without this mic,

1268
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 5: without these screens, to feel like I have this privilege

1269
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:41,920
Speaker 5: of being connected to thousands of other human beings in

1270
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 5: this way. And it's not as deep as Jimmy and Rosalin,

1271
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 5: but it's something, and I think it matters, and it's special.

1272
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 5: It's special for humans to explore these things that make

1273
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 5: our hearts respond to each other.

1274
01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that net positive that we're like looking for is

1275
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 4: full of those little connections too. Right. It's not just

1276
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 4: about the one that you find you spend your life with,

1277
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 4: and that's wonderful if that's the thing for you, but

1278
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 4: all those little relationships too, whether it's just an email

1279
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,040
Speaker 4: we get from you guys, or you know, our good

1280
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 4: friends that we see every six months well, or our

1281
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 4: parents that we fortunately have great relationships with I get

1282
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 4: to see all the time, and our families. These are

1283
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 4: all really great things. And I think you're right about

1284
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 4: it is changing, and it's positive and negative the way

1285
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 4: the world is changing, and it is a mixed bag.

1286
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 4: But I think that we have more power than we

1287
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 4: think we do in terms of choosing what we pull

1288
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 4: out of that bag. It's not easy because there's clearly

1289
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 4: a thousand forces working against us at any given minute

1290
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 4: trying to glue us to those screens and to tantalize

1291
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:54,120
Speaker 4: us with these arguments and to see people as a

1292
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 4: single post instead of as a full rounded human being.

1293
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 4: It's hard to break from that. We can, and uh,

1294
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 4: and I think that's how we maintain those connections and

1295
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 4: actually use all this technology for like you're saying, the

1296
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 4: immense positive outcomes that that are possible with it, Yeah, yeah.

1297
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 5: And I yeah, Just we don't forget that there's a

1298
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 5: human on the other end of that message and on

1299
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 5: the other end of this mic and these radio waves.

1300
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 5: And that's just something I appreciated about this show a lot.

1301
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 5: It made me really have to look at people al Capone,

1302
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 5: et cetera with a very different just a different idea,

1303
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 5: not to not to excuse anything, just to remember that

1304
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 5: people are really complicated and they have many sides. What

1305
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 5: did Walt women say, do I contradict myself very well?

1306
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 5: I contradict myself. I am large, I contain multitudes.

1307
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 4: Beautiful, delicious Walt Whitman's sampler.

1308
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:59,440
Speaker 5: Oh, sampler, that's basically it is a little black books o.

1309
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 4: Whitman's sam blur contains multitudes of truffles, and.

1310
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 5: They often contradict themselves some of that orange shitty.

1311
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 4: Oh my god, no, I mean, just not to drag

1312
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 4: this out too long, but I remember some of our

1313
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 4: first episodes us thinking like, this is gonna be an

1314
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 4: hilarious show where we can mock and tease these silly

1315
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 4: people falling in love with what, the Eiffel Tower whatever,

1316
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 4: And god damn it if we weren't, you know, three

1317
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 4: hours into the research and I'm going, I can't be

1318
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:43,160
Speaker 4: mad at this. These are people again, These are people

1319
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 4: experiencing a positive feeling, right, so who cares? Is it

1320
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 4: a negative feeling for anyone else? And if you think

1321
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 4: it might be for you, is it? Is it really

1322
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,640
Speaker 4: stop for a second. Oh it's not. Oh I can

1323
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:01,240
Speaker 4: let that go and just go on with my life.

1324
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:04,919
Speaker 4: I think we all need a big dose of that. Yeah,

1325
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 4: a big old glass of Oh it's not affecting meess,

1326
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 4: big big glass and on you and just and even

1327
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:16,920
Speaker 4: beyond that, take the next step and actually find joy

1328
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 4: in other people's ridiculous positivity that they're experiencing. Right the

1329
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 4: fuck else is there? You kidding me? Get over yourselves?

Speaker 4: the air and feel the sun.
