Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this afternoon edition of
Speaker 1: Beyonce in Hughes trend, which is some of the big
Speaker 1: news coming out of Look, all the celebrities are coming
Speaker 1: out of the portals, like the Avengers to help Kamala Harris,
Speaker 1: I guess over the line, although Texas isn't quite seen
Speaker 1: as a purple steak quite yet due to jerry mandering,
Speaker 1: but who knows. We will get to that trending item
Speaker 1: in a moment. My name Miles Gray, my guest co
Speaker 1: host name Paula vi Ganlan.
Speaker 2: What's up.
Speaker 3: I fucking hate that guy, Jerrymanda. He slept with my wife.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: We were in an improv moment.
Speaker 2: They didn't hear that part. I was struggling. Jerrymanda, Hey, Jerrymanda.
Speaker 2: Hate that fucking hate that guy.
Speaker 4: I've been doing this voice for like a few days,
Speaker 4: and I don't know why.
Speaker 2: It's fun. Sometimes you get caught in a voice you
Speaker 2: like to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, anyway, Paulivy, let's tell the people some of
Speaker 1: the things that are trending. A pretty brazen act of
Speaker 1: cut and replace with AI has occurred in Poland.
Speaker 2: A radio station in Poland is the stat has.
Speaker 3: Ever happened in Poland.
Speaker 2: No, never, never, never, never, never never never.
Speaker 1: They are taking they're the hot seat a little bit
Speaker 1: because they fired all of the on air human presenters
Speaker 1: and they are replaced there in the process of replacing
Speaker 1: them all with virtual characters created by AI.
Speaker 4: Okay. The reason that you guys aren't coming along with
Speaker 4: these future technologies and you don't understand why characters created
Speaker 4: by AI are actually more efficient than human characters, okay, okay,
Speaker 4: is because you have a soul and like we're not
Speaker 4: about that at our company. Okay, because souls can be
Speaker 4: really you know, like not beneficial to like our progress
Speaker 4: as a topiety.
Speaker 3: So we got to get rid of those. We have
Speaker 3: to like cut those out of our worldview.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: I feel like you could hear that in like America too,
Speaker 1: Like soul kind of evokes uh sort of culture for
Speaker 1: some of our white listeners that they don't like. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: like soul music or food. You get what you kind
Speaker 1: of get where I'm going anyway. So apparently though, don't
Speaker 1: worry not. These robot journalists are quote designed to reach
Speaker 1: younger listeners by speaking about cultural, art and social issues,
Speaker 1: including the concerns of LGBTQ plus.
Speaker 3: People, pedo robots trying to reach.
Speaker 1: My young children, racist ass algorithm trying to give me
Speaker 1: takes on culture, art, social issues, including concerns of the
Speaker 1: LGBTQ plus.
Speaker 3: No, I don't care if it makes me listen.
Speaker 2: Back in my day, we didn't have no beat.
Speaker 3: Boop was telling us.
Speaker 1: Hitler was okay, okay, look, you just kind of sat
Speaker 1: back and dealt with it.
Speaker 2: That's just how it worked.
Speaker 1: But apparently the head of the radio station claim that
Speaker 1: the journalists weren't fired because there was AI and it
Speaker 1: was a cheaper thing to do. It's because the listenership
Speaker 1: was quote close to zero, and so it's just a
Speaker 1: fun experiment. They're completely una AI.
Speaker 3: Was listening and they don't count that. What if it
Speaker 3: was AI that.
Speaker 4: Was listening the whole time and that's how they got
Speaker 4: the characters.
Speaker 1: This is what the quote from the head of the
Speaker 1: station said. Quote, is artificial intelligence more of an opportunity
Speaker 1: or a threat to media, radio and journalism.
Speaker 2: We will seek answers to this question.
Speaker 3: Oh so that's like lying our family in their bed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 3: We will eliminate employees and then see how.
Speaker 2: That goes, we'll see. We don't know.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like we're goofy, you know, we like
Speaker 1: throwing stuff on the wall, seeing what sticks, and then
Speaker 1: we'll just see what happens with this.
Speaker 3: Is more bad. I don't know, but I'm going to
Speaker 3: start one to find.
Speaker 1: Let's engage in one though. Let's fucking go for it,
Speaker 1: though we won't know until we know. Let's completely ignore
Speaker 1: the record of his We're scientists.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're not the scientists.
Speaker 1: We're Nazi scientists, and we don't give a fuck about
Speaker 1: history because this time it will be different, okay, and
Speaker 1: we might win this time. So again, this is pretty
Speaker 1: shocking because the station is a quote taxpayer supported a station.
Speaker 4: Ah. This does remind me. You know that intro scene
Speaker 4: in the Dark Night, where like each robber is like
Speaker 4: killing the robber therewith until the last one is killed
Speaker 4: by the joker, Right, That's what it feels like with AI,
Speaker 4: like killing each person's job and you think you're safe,
Speaker 4: and then AI will take your job.
Speaker 2: Yeah shit, they got somehow worse there was.
Speaker 1: One of these AI presenters recently did an interview with
Speaker 1: a Nobel Prize winning poet who died in twenty twelve.
Speaker 1: But don't worry because that person also Ai. And then
Speaker 1: the person who like represents the uh the estate of
Speaker 1: and please forgive me because I do want to say
Speaker 1: the person's name, but I'm not great at Polish pronunciation.
Speaker 1: I think it's Slava Zimborska. They said, oh, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: she had a sense of humor and would have liked
Speaker 1: it really.
Speaker 3: Really fuck like also, like it's Ai. You can make
Speaker 3: new characters. Why did you have to.
Speaker 4: Like put this person in your Also, what would really
Speaker 4: go that hard? Is it like Tupac where they're like,
Speaker 4: we have to bring this one poet back.
Speaker 1: I'd imagine because it sounds like like a very consequential
Speaker 1: Polish Polish poet.
Speaker 2: So public Radio, so they yeah, exactly, They're not going
Speaker 2: to have like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but let's move on to better news, specifically for
Speaker 1: me and my junk food.
Speaker 2: My love of junk food. The fucking Mexi milk is back.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I didn't have anything to scream like that,
Speaker 1: but that's all I got going right now. So the
Speaker 1: Bell they're bringing back a few things from they have
Speaker 1: a decade's menu going.
Speaker 2: So and when I saw.
Speaker 4: This was like Taylor's Earra's tour, but with Taco Bell Yeah,
Speaker 4: but Withoutae.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Are they going to bring it back?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's all the different eras of violent diarrhea.
Speaker 1: So starting on Halloween, Taco will bring back from the decades,
Speaker 1: the Toastata from the sixties' earliest form of Taco Bell,
Speaker 1: then the green Sauce burrito from the seventies, the Mexi
Speaker 1: Melt from the eighties, the Gordida Supreme from the nineteen nineties,
Speaker 1: which I fucking loved, especially when that Godzilla movie came
Speaker 1: out with Matthew Broderick and the two thousands caramel Apple
Speaker 1: and Panada, which I had one too many of. But again,
Speaker 1: I'm interested, I'm curious. I want to see what happens.
Speaker 1: I've always just wanted this one simple dish to come back.
Speaker 1: The only downside to this it will not be nineteen
Speaker 1: nineties eighties pricing because that Mexi Melt will now be
Speaker 1: two dollars and ninety nine cents each, but everything will
Speaker 1: be less than three dollars, So look for under three dollars.
Speaker 1: You can destroy your insights like you used to decades ago.
Speaker 2: So good news.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's when we had like four loco and stuff.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, did you ever drink four Loco?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: I like my friends all drank it, but I like
Speaker 4: I wasn't like drinking back then, so like I never
Speaker 4: it's different.
Speaker 2: Kind of drinking too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we need to have four locos, like like to drink.
Speaker 4: My friends drank after they had their breakdowns. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: it's like maybe I shouldn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just kind of base if that's kind of your
Speaker 1: vibe right now, I'm good.
Speaker 2: I'll have some water maybe.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think I'm gonna ruin my insights with Taco
Speaker 4: Bell instead.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Also I want to say Taco Bell, like just have
Speaker 4: these have your popular items on menu.
Speaker 3: Stop taking stuff away and then bringing it back. Mexican pizza,
Speaker 3: how dare you? You know what I mean, Give the
Speaker 3: people what they want.
Speaker 4: Don't make it like, what is this the fucking McRib
Speaker 4: You gotta chase it at night in different McDonald's.
Speaker 1: Come on, Yeah, I know, I know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't get the Mexican pizza is back though.
Speaker 2: They I know.
Speaker 4: I just I'm still bitter that they took it away.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, same.
Speaker 4: We have had so many years of memories and you
Speaker 4: wasted it.
Speaker 3: You wasted it, Taco Bell.
Speaker 2: We slipped right through your greasy fucking fingers. Look at you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think, Well, what's also funny because like their whole
Speaker 1: menu is so modular, Like it's all just like a
Speaker 1: weird combination of twelve ingredients.
Speaker 2: They have for everything. I'm gonna say it is bad,
Speaker 2: do it? Yeah? I like that.
Speaker 1: I think when I get the Taco Bell I go to,
Speaker 1: I'll be like, hey, it's me that like already knows
Speaker 1: the dude who's always kind of trying to homebrew their
Speaker 1: own MEXI melts by talking to us on how to
Speaker 1: do it. Well, one of the listeners shout out, I
Speaker 1: forget way back when of the listeners put me onto
Speaker 1: how to do it, and ever since, I've been using
Speaker 1: that same formula.
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 1: We'll come back talk a bit, a bit of politics,
Speaker 1: because we will be talking more about politics in tomorrow's episode,
Speaker 1: but just some celebrity stuff and then the police after.
Speaker 2: This and we're back.
Speaker 1: The other big thing that's trending, aside from the fact
Speaker 1: that violent from Insane Clown, Posse has said he is
Speaker 1: endorsing Kamala Harris.
Speaker 3: That's a big vote. That's a big demographic.
Speaker 2: Juggalos, that's not a fucking joke, Okay.
Speaker 1: And I guess, And I know that Detroit's very own
Speaker 1: eminem was also going the same way. And I know
Speaker 1: they had their beef a little bit. But I'm glad
Speaker 1: they put the beef down, uh to come together for
Speaker 1: this project, I guess.
Speaker 4: But the other thing that was going bare yelling at
Speaker 4: you when you have too many maximals.
Speaker 3: They're like, put the beef down.
Speaker 2: Put the beef down, Miles, put the beef down. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm putting it down.
Speaker 1: They're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, not in your mouth,
Speaker 1: not like that. Oh I'm putting these down. I had
Speaker 1: five just right before you got here.
Speaker 2: You have five more. Yep, about to do ten. We
Speaker 2: call that a decade because.
Speaker 3: It's will for your children. Miles, you mean too many
Speaker 3: maximal people will.
Speaker 2: Be written in taco bell hot sauce.
Speaker 4: Yeah, or on the back of one of the packets,
Speaker 4: like or.
Speaker 2: Just the paper the wrapper.
Speaker 1: They're like, I don't know if they this is legally binding,
Speaker 1: but it does seem that he did have this notarized
Speaker 1: but yeah, Beyonce is going to be performing in Houston.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are just gonna be
Speaker 1: at the DNC. It's happening now in Houston, along with
Speaker 1: I think Willie Nelson and shit. So that'll be a
Speaker 1: huge thing for for all the people who like Kamala
Speaker 1: and Beyonce and uh, you know really well.
Speaker 4: That ben diagram is just a circle the people who
Speaker 4: love Willie Nelson and beyond exactly.
Speaker 1: You'd think so, right if people were like, I love Beyonce, right.
Speaker 2: That is true. So it would be funny if someone's like,
Speaker 2: I love Beyonce, fucking hate like hate Willie Nelson, all right, fine,
Speaker 2: but yes, that's that's all.
Speaker 3: They would never smoke weed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, even though it sounds like she's alluded to it
Speaker 1: many times in her lyrics, I mean pretty sure that
Speaker 1: I don't believe it.
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear it.
Speaker 1: And Tina Knowles will also be up there, and I
Speaker 1: will be wearing head to Doe House of dairy On.
Speaker 1: I am a fan. I never let go of my
Speaker 1: House of dairy On clothing. And then this other thing.
Speaker 1: So along with you know, the holidays, there's all kinds
Speaker 1: of community events you know, there's like a spooky bike
Speaker 1: ride I might do tomorrow, the like in my neighborhood,
Speaker 1: there's like, you know, a little local spectaculars.
Speaker 4: No bike lanes, yea, No, you might get hit by
Speaker 4: a car.
Speaker 1: You can't wear a helmet. We are living in truly
Speaker 1: spooky times. If your prize could be a traumatic brain injury.
Speaker 1: But the police always trying to ingratiate themselves in the community, make,
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of smooth things out because I
Speaker 1: know the you know, wanton violence and you know, unpunished
Speaker 1: evil deeds that police departments engage in.
Speaker 2: I know that can be a bit of a damper
Speaker 2: on our.
Speaker 1: Relationships with the communities. But hey, we've got some ideas.
Speaker 1: So there's a couple in Moorland, Oklahoma. The local police
Speaker 1: department is hosting their third annual Hide and Seek from
Speaker 1: the Police.
Speaker 2: Do you hear that?
Speaker 5: Hide and Seek from the Police where people sign up
Speaker 5: for a Halloween night event where they're given arm bands
Speaker 5: then hide from the police.
Speaker 2: Let's be honest, who have to track them down? These
Speaker 2: are people.
Speaker 4: Signing up because every like other people are like, every
Speaker 4: day of my life is and.
Speaker 1: Seek for real? I'm like, is this just like a
Speaker 1: preview of like the upcoming Trump administration and what it
Speaker 1: could be.
Speaker 4: Like, Oh, they're gonna use like drone dogs to track
Speaker 4: people down and then they like shoot them and then
Speaker 4: they're like.
Speaker 3: Ha ha I found you.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: I think it's like one of the things like, look,
Speaker 1: we're not even using all this military tech they keep
Speaker 1: fucking shitting down on us from the Pentagon that they
Speaker 1: can't justify buying.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I guess we'll use it to freak out people.
Speaker 2: Because is there a pop.
Speaker 4: City they're going to be using one of like the
Speaker 4: tesla's or whatever.
Speaker 1: Like runs his buddy over so wild It says, meet
Speaker 1: at the Moreland Community Center to receive your wrist band.
Speaker 2: They will be released at U Like.
Speaker 1: You'll get a fifteen minute head start and you must
Speaker 1: remain inside city limits, no entering private yards outside only
Speaker 1: no buildings and they hunt you down.
Speaker 4: This okay, this sounds like a whop Like they're literally
Speaker 4: gonna I'm so surprised they haven't killed someone already, Like yeah,
Speaker 4: like like because they pull they would pull their guns
Speaker 4: out at anything, right right, This is sociers are like
Speaker 4: this is a training exercise for the cops. Wait, this
Speaker 4: isn't in like an enclosed space. No, they're like hunting
Speaker 4: them ound in like the city limits streets of the
Speaker 4: city because the cops own. It's another reminder that the
Speaker 4: cops own the city and can find you.
Speaker 3: Anywhere and what it is.
Speaker 1: And it's like to your point. For the people who
Speaker 1: aren't necess who don't see the police in the same
Speaker 1: way that most oppressed people do, they're like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is like so fun. You're hide and seek and it's like,
Speaker 1: my friend.
Speaker 4: But can you also imagine like that night, like cops
Speaker 4: are going to be trolling everywhere, so people who would
Speaker 4: not want to be around cops are going to be
Speaker 4: forced with them, like trying to like barge in a place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, part of the hide and seek. No, motherfucker, I'm
Speaker 2: changing my spare tire, bro, Can you let me the
Speaker 2: fuck alone. They're like us, play with us. We have
Speaker 2: a hey hands a fucking asshole. I'm joking. I'm joking.
Speaker 1: I'm no, but for real, motherfucker freeze. Oh come on,
Speaker 1: am I Joe.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: They're like break or shoot, We're gonna shoot.
Speaker 2: Holy shit, trick or beat your ass down.
Speaker 1: So this trend apparently has been spreading to other towns too, because,
Speaker 1: like you said, how could this get worse? Well, in Sherwood, Oregon, Uh,
Speaker 1: there will be an armed and uniformed police officers event
Speaker 1: where they will try to tag teenagers and adults as
Speaker 1: they run through a wooded park at night. It says
Speaker 1: you are invited to hide and seek with a cop
Speaker 1: at the Stella Olson Park in Sherwood, Oregon, October thirtieth,
Speaker 1: at seven pm.
Speaker 4: Do you think they're just gonna like plant drugs on everyone?
Speaker 1: I know, Yeah, there's gonna be like dated guns.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: This this baby had a gun. I don't know what
Speaker 1: you want me to do. Chief, And the reaction to
Speaker 1: this hasn't been positive. Many people were putting on social
Speaker 1: media they said I'd go, quote I'd go, but I
Speaker 1: like breathing. And the cops they defended this whole event,
Speaker 1: they said, you know, they said a lot of people
Speaker 1: are like, why are they fucking armed for a thing
Speaker 1: where it's like twelve years old? Twelve years and up?
Speaker 1: I guess because apparently the whole point is to humanize
Speaker 1: the officers. They said, quote, if the officers are not
Speaker 1: uniformed or armed, it defeats the goal of helping community
Speaker 1: members overcome fear of interacting with officers as they are.
Speaker 1: Events like this build those relationships and humanize us as
Speaker 1: an agency and as officers.
Speaker 4: You want me to humanize your gun? Put it in
Speaker 4: a fucking beauty in the Beast movie. Okay, make it sing,
Speaker 4: don't make me fucking play hide and seek with cops.
Speaker 4: Is gonna tag someone and they're gonna be like, you
Speaker 4: reach for my gun. Like it's fucking terrifying. Nobody wants
Speaker 4: to be around cops. You don't humanize yourselves. You kill people,
Speaker 4: You kill dogs. You kill so many dogs per year
Speaker 4: in people's private yards. Like we want to say the
Speaker 4: fuck away from you.
Speaker 2: But that's the thing.
Speaker 1: If I'm not dressed as the spooky uh you know,
Speaker 1: person that can kill at will on behalf of the state,
Speaker 1: then you're not gonna like connect to me.
Speaker 3: So wait a minute, wait a minute. Everyone should go.
Speaker 4: Okay, adults should go, and everyone should dress as cops
Speaker 4: of like their local uniform, and everyone should because it's
Speaker 4: like a Halloween thing.
Speaker 2: We can do.
Speaker 4: This is what we want, right right, and then we
Speaker 4: all just like trick them into shooting each other.
Speaker 2: He's got a gun, and then you dive and it's mine.
Speaker 1: Oh if only things worked out as the amazing comedic
Speaker 1: ideas we have. But I again, I hope they ends safely.
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is just hole just like wow, the
Speaker 1: fact the weird part is defending that they need to
Speaker 1: have their guns or else they're not gonna get respect.
Speaker 1: Like holy shit, dude, maybe like interrogate that I need
Speaker 1: to beat.
Speaker 3: The sheet out of people or they won't be my friend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, we're not gonna carry tasers though those are scary.
Speaker 4: What yeah, what if we accidentally reach for the taser
Speaker 4: instead of the gun for a while.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I know, I'm I know, I know, I'm
Speaker 1: you know, behind in my practice, but these are these
Speaker 1: are the things that keep us up at night. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I resist the urge to do hide and Seek with
Speaker 1: a cop.
Speaker 4: They should host another event that's hide and Seek with
Speaker 4: a stripper cop and then like make everybody go to
Speaker 4: that one instead. Oh you know what I mean, yeah,
Speaker 4: like all the adults.
Speaker 2: It would be wild though too. Man.
Speaker 1: This is where like if I, like, if I was
Speaker 1: a billionaire, I would just like buy a bunch of
Speaker 1: like tear away police uniforms that look exactly like this department.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And then suddenly like fifty of these cops are just
Speaker 1: ripping their clothes off and and like.
Speaker 2: And then just having a party in the woods. Maybe
Speaker 2: maybe not great for the twelve years.
Speaker 3: We don't have to be in the woods, Like why
Speaker 3: does it have to be outside?
Speaker 4: Why does it have to be in the woods, Like,
Speaker 4: it's so can't you eminent domain like a nice house.
Speaker 1: It's just so weird, right like you are, like you
Speaker 1: would do like you're building a freeway over pass or something.
Speaker 3: Just fucking steal some shit, make it more fun.
Speaker 1: You want to humanize them. Why don't you humanize the
Speaker 1: people of your community. That's that's the direction to.
Speaker 2: People of your community. Guns that would be funny. Hunt
Speaker 2: a cop night and then.
Speaker 1: Would yeah, yeah Ortez a cop that would probably do
Speaker 1: a lot for.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: But again that the empathy does not need to be
Speaker 1: moving in the other direction, like they insist if anything,
Speaker 1: like they're like, no, no, we have a problem with
Speaker 1: them not seeing us as people.
Speaker 4: We have a problem with those fucking dogs people.
Speaker 2: Shit, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Well those are the things that are trending this Thursday.
Speaker 1: October twenty fourth, twenty twenty four, one week from Halloween.
Speaker 1: We and then only a few more days till the election.
Speaker 1: Pollia's wed Halloween should be on November fifth, I think.
Speaker 1: But anyway, paulap thank you so much for joining me. Please, y'all,
Speaker 1: I hope you have a great weekend. We have a
Speaker 1: great episode coming up for you tomorrow. But until then,
Speaker 1: take care of yourselves, take care of each other, get
Speaker 1: the flu shot, get your vaccines, do all that. Don't
Speaker 1: do nothing about white supremacy, and please, please please have
Speaker 1: a good time as.
Speaker 2: You can in our are in our final days of
Speaker 2: who knows what's going to happen.
Speaker 3: Okay, bless you, ye bye forever
