Speaker 1: From UFOs to psychic powers and government conspiracies. History is

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: riddled with unexplained events. You can turn back now or

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,159
Speaker 1: learn this stuff they don't want you to know. A

00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: Hello, welcome back to the show. My name is Matt,

6
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: my name is Nola.

Speaker 3: They called me Ben. We're joined as always with our

Speaker 3: super producer Dylan the Tennessee pal Fagan. Most importantly, you

00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 3: are here. That makes this the stuff they don't want

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 3: you to know. If you are hearing our strange news

11
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 3: segment the Evening it publishes Welcome to July twenty first,

12
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. We have so much to get to. Obviously,

13
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: a lot of things are happening in the world, and

14
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 3: we couldn't think of a better way to kick off

15
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 3: the show than to commit to our YETI blood oath.

16
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means, Ben.

17
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 3: Weirdly enough, it's not a code, Matt. It turns out

18
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 3: that a Denver seminary has met some deep internal division

19
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 3: due to a YETI blood oath. This was reported in

20
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 3: the Pillar just yesterday. We're recording on July sixteenth. This

21
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 3: came to us July fifteenth. The clergy in the Archdiocese

22
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: of Denver are intensely divided over a blood oath ceremony

23
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: involving a vice rector and seminarians during a ski trip.

24
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 3: It happened last year, but the news finally broke to

25
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: the public. Here's what happened. There was a group of seminarians,

26
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 3: you know, divinity students basically studying at Denver Saint John

27
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: Vienny Theological Seminary, and Friar John neppel In EPIL took

28
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 3: the gang on a trip. During this trip, they were

29
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: woken in the middle of the night and quote invited

30
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: to individually swear a blood oath in a ceremony involving

31
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: a dagger and a man in a Yeti costume.

32
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not the idea of a Yeti priest.

33
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 4: That's cool.

34
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: None of us are Catholics, so we're not experts on this,

35
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: but that that's not the usual thing, right.

36
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: I don't think so. WHOA wait, I just clicked on

37
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: the link.

38
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, check out the costume.

39
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Yeti costume is pretty intense cosplay level stuff.

40
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: Whoa yeah, this is okay. So video of this was

41
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 3: sent to the Pillar by multiple sources in the archdiocese

42
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: and the seminarians were quote told to scream as if

43
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: in pain, before returning with a bloodied cloth wrapped around

44
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: their hand and their mouths taped shut to the room

45
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: where other people are waiting to go swear the blood oath.

46
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 3: This was a farce, was a prank. They assured the

47
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 3: public and the lay folk that no one is in

48
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: fact a YETI worshiper in this archdiocese.

49
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 4: I think maybe I am now a YETI worshiper.

50
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: I'm started. Yeah, yeah, time to convert.

51
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: That's a fun theater thing, like the initiation, the secret initiation,

52
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: where everybody's waiting in one room. One person goes in

53
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: at a time, and then you hear them scream, and

54
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: then you've got a bloodied cloth as they exit.

55
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 3: And yeah the mouth.

56
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's just theater. That's just fun.

57
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: That's just fun. The friar did apologize and quote acknowledged

58
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 3: his imprudence, apologized to the archbishop and the seminarians involved.

59
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 3: While we get it, come on, man, what's wrong with

60
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: a little fun. No one was getting hurt. Like, did

61
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: the friar apologize for being the fun friar? You know

62
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: what I mean? My bad, Sorry, guys, I guess you

63
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 3: don't want these googly eyes on the crucifix anymore.

64
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: I put googly eyes on them so they're not so scary.

65
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 4: I put googly eyes on my rumba. But then it

66
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 4: kind of went rogue and stopped doing what it was

67
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 4: supposed to do, so I had to put it down.

68
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: No, it was an old Yeller situation. It really was.

69
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: Maybe it got Maybe the googly eyes brought it too

70
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: close to AI. That's something we're going to be returning

71
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: to in a couple of a couple of stories this week.

72
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: We're also going to be talking about security leaks. We're

73
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: going to be talking weirdly enough about Waifu stuff, and

74
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 3: of course electric bills and maybe a mention of Epstein.

75
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: But before we do any of.

76
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 4: That, I want to sit here about Epstein. Stop talking

77
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 4: about Epstein.

78
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: You are a person. Let it go.

79
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: We're done with that guy.

80
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 4: He's been dead long times. Sorry, I'm sorry.

81
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: We're gonna pause. We'll get to it. We'll pause for

82
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 3: word from our sponsor, and then we're going to return

83
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 3: with some fascinating stories. One of which we were actually

84
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: talking about off air earlier.

85
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 4: Happens and we have return with the trio of the

86
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 4: strangest of news is that I bring to you today.

87
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 4: We're going to start with a quickie and an easy one.

88
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 4: And this just came to mind, I think because of

89
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 4: a conversation we had with the fair Dylan the Tennessee

90
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 4: pal slash Tennessee Chainsaw massacre Fagan about as a version

91
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 4: to competitive card games, and specifically UN came up. Maybe

92
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 4: not specifically for Dylan, but that is the one that

93
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 4: comes to mind when I think we all think of

94
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 4: like family games that can get a little heated, perhaps

95
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 4: and if I'm mistake, and we recently talked about how

96
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 4: the Mattel Company, who owns Uno did come out with

97
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 4: an official stance on the playing a plus something on

98
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 4: top of another plus something.

99
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: Yes, right, and everybody ignored them.

100
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 4: Right, they said, nah, not cool. Before we go on,

101
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 4: I have no problem with family rules either, house rules, right, Like, yeah,

102
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 4: do do what thou wiltst what you got, matt.

103
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: This past weekend we played Uno, myself, my mother, my father,

104
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: my girlfriend, her daughter, and my son. We're all playing Uno.

105
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 2: We're hanging out and that plus draw to thing came up,

106
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 2: and that's applying and all of that. Who has to

107
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 2: draw and all this, Well I went into magic rules.

108
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: Well you've already played the draw too, so that goes

109
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 2: that is on the stack, and that occurs someone plays

110
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 2: another drug to We went into this long thing and

111
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 2: everybody in the end he got kind of mad at

112
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: each other.

113
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, brother, let me just say I have experienced

114
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 4: the wrath, the gaming wrath of your lady friend, and

115
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 4: they're super intense about these kinds of things. So I

116
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 4: can see that getting a little heated. For sure.

117
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 3: I've missed that that part of the experience and look

118
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 3: forward to it. But I got to tell you, yeah,

119
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: even folks, as you know listening in, even the most

120
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 3: loving of parents and siblings and familial relations will turn

121
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: on you with uno, especially when it's time to draw

122
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: those four cards and predict that color. It gets gets wild.

123
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 4: Well, you know what's funny. I always think the concept

124
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 4: that in a gaming situation, you're supposed to like not

125
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: play well against people, you know, like your kids get

126
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 4: mad at you because you played the game right, I

127
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 4: just does that blows up. I don't understand. That just

128
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 4: seems to be counter to the whole point of playing

129
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 4: a competitive game. It happens with me and my kid

130
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 4: with Mario Kart, which we are huge fans of. My

131
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 4: kid has absolutely attained an equal footing to me in

132
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 4: that game that I've been playing for over a decade

133
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 4: and takes it real seriously and gets real mad when

134
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 4: I shell them. But we are talking about Uno, and

135
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 4: specifically a new era of Uno being unveiled on the

136
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 4: Las Vegas Strip in Sin City. George Alakiki, writing for

137
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 4: news dot com dot Au in Australia, said the family

138
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 4: friendly game has caused drama around the dining table for years,

139
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 4: but it's now drawing a wild card at the poker table.

140
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 4: Beloved game Uno is set to debut in one Las

141
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 4: Vegas casino with plans for more. But there's a catch

142
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 4: that catches no gambling allowed.

143
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

144
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 4: Mattel has given the green light to a Uno Social

145
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 4: club that is located above the gaming floors at the

146
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 4: Palms Casino in Las Vegas, off of the strip, with

147
00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 4: plans to expand it to more gambling locations. There are

148
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 4: different variations of the game that will be on offer

149
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 4: at different tables during this little pop up period of

150
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 4: July eighteenth through twentieth, so a couple days from now.

151
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 4: As we sit here recording. The catch, however, is what

152
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 4: I said, Guests wanting to gamble on the games despite

153
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 4: the venue will not be allowed. That comes from the

154
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 4: article I quoted. The decision is part of Mattel's main

155
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 4: objective to provide a elevated social experience at casinos instead

156
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 4: of real money games. A spokesperson for the company, Ray Adler,

157
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 4: who's the vice president and global head of games, said

158
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 4: we created unosocial clubs to reimagine what game night can be,

159
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 4: bringing people together for real world fun, connection and a

160
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 4: bit of friendly competition. Then Social Club in Las Vegas

161
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 4: is just the beginning, and we're excited to see how

162
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 4: these new experiences inspire players to show up, play hard,

163
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 4: and make unforgettable memories. But I don't know, guys, I

164
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 4: could see this being pretty divisive, you know, being such

165
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 4: a family game, and this is a little bit of

166
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 4: an odd publicity stunt if you ask me, I.

167
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 3: Think it's going to work. Maybe not to the degree

168
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 3: that Mattel hopes, but it's it's partially because Uno is

169
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 3: a very easy game to learn and it is fun

170
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 3: to play. But I also think there's going to be

171
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 3: illegal gambling because it's Vegas. You can't. You can't stop

172
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 3: people from walking by and seeing, you know, Matt's family,

173
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 3: or maybe if I'm playing with you guys, ever seeing

174
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 3: one person at the table and going, mmm, I don't know, man,

175
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 3: I got I got five hundred on the kid.

176
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: Remember how boring the World Series of Poker could be.

177
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's super super exciting if you're watching it.

178
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 4: But the personality is too right, like, yeah, yeah, but

179
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 4: most people.

180
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 3: Why are some people allowed to wear sunglasses in that?

181
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 3: It seems like a cheat, seems like a hiding, like bad,

182
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 3: bad medicine.

183
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 2: But I imagine if it's just a bunch of people

184
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: in a series game of uno, like they're taking it

185
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: so serious and nobody's betting at the table, but behind

186
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: them with the camera's watching. Just what you said, Ben,

187
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: there's a whole secondary market where everybody's betting.

188
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean the first time I ever did

189
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 4: any kind of gambling, well before we all went to

190
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 4: Las Vegas together, certainly was my first time. I think

191
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 4: it might have been at least one of y'all's first time.

192
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 4: The only experience of gambling I'd ever had was at

193
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 4: like a cabin with friends situation on like a dice

194
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 4: game like farkel or one four twenty four, or a

195
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 4: little you know, friendly craps or whatever. I mean, a

196
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 4: little friendly poker game. Yea, it was that, but it

197
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 4: was we put in some money. There was some money

198
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 4: to be made. We have a lot of people, and

199
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 4: then the buy in is low. But with all those people,

200
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 4: you can walk away with a little bit of cash.

201
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 4: So I have no doubt that people have been gambling

202
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 4: on you, you know, for years in these types of settings.

203
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 4: There's no reason not to.

204
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 3: I mean people who like to gamble. This is not

205
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 3: casting dispersion. We know it can be a serious problem

206
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 3: for on any but people who genuinely like to gamble

207
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: will gamble on anything, right, Like what's that? There was

208
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 3: a billboard I can't remember if we're talking about this

209
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: on air. There was a billboard I saw a while

210
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 3: back that said be careful. You know, something like twenty

211
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 3: percent of people who begin gambling end up with a

212
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 3: serious problem. And then I immediately thought, come on, man,

213
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 3: if you're someone who gambles, you're going to take those odds.

214
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 4: Bet on I like to bet on myself, guys. I

215
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 4: mean speaking of betting on anything, A big predictor that's

216
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 4: used a lot in these days and things like politics

217
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 4: or awards or whatever are the betting markets. Like there

218
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 4: are these apps that you can literally bet on any

219
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 4: combination of factors in various world events like Calshee, I

220
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 4: think is the big one. So a lot of times

221
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 4: when there's a big election coming up or an award

222
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 4: or whatever like the Oscars, you start to see the

223
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 4: odds favor certain things leading up to it. That tends

224
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 4: to be a pretty good predictor, because you know a

225
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 4: lot of times people that bet in that way and

226
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 4: at that scale are okay at it, you know, to

227
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 4: some degree, until they're not. Of course, there was some

228
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 4: There were some influencers that were invited to these kind

229
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 4: of events. One named is Zuos, who has one hundred

230
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 4: and thirty four thousand Instagram followers. I guess he's an

231
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 4: UNO influencer. Said, good thing there was no betting, because

232
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 4: I would have lost a lot of money. The thought

233
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 4: of the wildly popular game enjoyed by children and adults alike,

234
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 4: arrival casinos is scary for some, though, says the article.

235
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 4: Despite a strict ban on betting on the games, there

236
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 4: are fears it's now just one step away, and to

237
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 4: be clear, it would be in violation of the Nevada

238
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 4: Gaming Commissions regulations. It is not they have to approve

239
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 4: the games that are bet on be based on various

240
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 4: factors and odds and things like that exactly. So, Yeah,

241
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 4: let's move on to another strange news story. This one

242
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 4: has a little bit in common spiritually with I think

243
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 4: a story that you're bringing to us a bit later, Ben,

244
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 4: bizarre Chinese national park ad for wild man job draws

245
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 4: thousands of applicants in shino Jia National Park. Forgive me,

246
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 4: I'm not a Chinese Ormandarin speaker. A bizarre job listing

247
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 4: has come up in the Central China region for wild

248
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 4: men looking to be hired to roam that national park

249
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 4: and interact with visitors and essentially be half naked, making

250
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 4: grunting sounds and essentially honoring the legacy of a lot

251
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 4: of the kind of Yeti and wild man type of

252
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 4: myths that you know are very popular and prominent in

253
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 4: that part.

254
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 2: Of the world.

255
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 4: Ben, there was one we talked about very recently in

256
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 4: our Cryptids kind of continuing series that seems to check

257
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 4: some boxes for this theme.

258
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Yeert We did an episode recently on on this.

259
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 3: Think of it like the Bigfoot or the Yetti of

260
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: interior China, And it's a fascinating conversation because, unlike the

261
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 3: United States and a lot of other Western countries, in

262
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 3: China this was investigations into this creature were taken very

263
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 3: seriously and it became a big part of the culture.

264
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 3: The best way to put it, I was talking with

265
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 3: our daily Zeitgeispals about this is imagine if imagine if

266
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 3: we went to the White House and said, hey, can

267
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 3: we have hundreds of millions of dollars to hunt Bigfoot?

268
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 3: And the White House said, yeah, go go. That's what

269
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 3: happened in China.

270
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it does seem to be the case. The article

271
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 4: is reverencing this program. Don't specifically mention the erin they

272
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 4: just talk a bit more about just this the legendary

273
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 4: wild man, China's equivalent of the Bigfoot scene or spotted

274
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 4: historically in remote mountain regions and some of these forested areas.

275
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 4: So let's go a little bit more into the specifics

276
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 4: of the job. From The Independent over in the UK,

277
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 4: the job listing offers five hundred wand sixteen nine dollars

278
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 4: and sixty cents a day to act as non player characters,

279
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 4: essentially live action performers to roam in the park, mimicking

280
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 4: the famous legend of wild men of the region. The

281
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 4: organizers are using the fan groups on short video platforms

282
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 4: like du Yen and Shao Hongshu to find people interested

283
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 4: in applying for the job. According to China Daily, and

284
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 4: they have thus far received over ten thousand applicants, but

285
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 4: only sixteen folks are going to make the cut. So yeah.

286
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 4: This is in Hubei Province, by the way, the shang

287
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 4: Xia Forestreet district known for mountainous terrain, lush greenery, and

288
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 4: a lot of mystic folklore surrounding these types of creatures.

289
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 4: The creature is often described as being about two meters tall,

290
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 4: covered in reddish brown hair, and making haunting wo wu calls.

291
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 4: They're so called wild men are a long standing part

292
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 4: of Chinese mythology, often likened to the Bigfoot or the

293
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 4: yet heat.

294
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 3: And Yerin, by the way, translates to wild men.

295
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 4: There you go, that's the one, Thanks Ben, perfect full sir.

296

00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,720

00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 4: chance to act out their real nature. While the employer

313
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 4: provides accident insurance. The selected participants must bring their own tents,

314
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 4: arranged meals, and be ready to run if confronted by

315
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 4: unknown creatures.

316
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 2: Well well okay, hold on, yeah, Well the images I'm

317
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: seeing here correct me if I'm wrong here, guys, but

318
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 2: I'm seeing more Neanderthal what might be described as caveman

319
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 2: correct stuff rather than wild man, you know, fully hair.

320
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 4: Some of them are here suits, some of them are

321
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 4: half naked. Some of them look more like indigenous types perhaps,

322
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 4: But yeah, there's there's there's a mix of interpretations. I guess.

323
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 4: The one that I'm seeing here on a let's see,

324
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 4: I think it's a Twitter feed is a video showing

325
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 4: some folks actually acting it out. Some of them have

326
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 4: these like big sticks, some of them have their faces painted.

327
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 4: So there are various kind of ways of doing this.

328
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 3: You got to diversify, you know what I mean, because

329
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 3: you want people to go more often, right, you want

330
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 3: people to return. So maybe you can make it there's

331
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 3: something very clever in here. Maybe you can make it

332
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 3: a Pokemon esque or collectible kind of game. I take

333
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 3: the kids, take the kids, and you see the fig

334
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 3: leaf one day, you see the yauguay another day in

335
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 3: an ogre, and then a yurin.

336
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: What if you could teach a urine to play Uno

337
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 2: with you?

338
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 4: Oh, that's a good mashup.

339
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 3: They need to have bigger cards.

340
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 4: Well, okay, we got one quick one that I wanted

341
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 4: to add at the very ends here this one coming

342
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 4: from viceed human skin teddy bear caused a panic at

343
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 4: a California gas station. If you happen to be cruising

344
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 4: through Victorville, California this past Sunday, shout out to on

345
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 4: cinema fans. By the way, Victorville is a big thing

346
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 4: in that YouTube series with Tim Heideger and on the

347
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 4: guy that does Neil Hamburger whose name is escaping me.

348
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 4: This past Sunday, you may have noticed a whole lot

349
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 4: of cops gathered around a teddy bear that looked like

350
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 4: it crawled out of a horror movie. But don't worry,

351
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 4: it wasn't actually as horrifying I find as it first seemed.

352
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 4: It was just some oddly placed and admittedly gruesome art.

353
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 4: Authorities responded to a call about a teddy bear that

354
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 4: appeared to be made of human skin was found near

355
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 4: a gas station on appropriately bare Valley Road. A deputy

356
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 4: corner was brought in, presumably with the same level of

357
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 4: urgency one might bring an archaeologist to a newly discovered

358
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 4: cursed sarcophagus, and confirmed that the object's skin was thankfully

359
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 4: not of human origin at all. A forensic pathologist double

360
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 4: checked and yep, it still was not a teddy bear

361
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 4: made of human skin. Oh boy, is it hideous looking? Yikes? Yeah,

362
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 4: you all check if you have that link in front

363
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 4: of you for the vice piece. It is like something

364
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 4: that was like Jeffrey Dahmer's Teddy Bear or who's the

365
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 4: one that made things out of human skin? Was that Dahmer?

366
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 3: That was ed Gean.

367
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks like something he would have slept with,

368
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 4: cuddled up with at night times. It was the work

369
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 4: of a South Carolina based artist named Robert Kelly, who

370
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 4: owns a company called Dark Seed Creations, a Netsy shop wearing.

371
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 4: Kelly designs and manufactures realistic looking horror themeed props. Looking

372
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 4: for a fetal skeleton in a baroque picture frame, They've

373
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 4: got you covered. The bear made of human skin is

374
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 4: one of Kelly's creations, and it is again pretty damn

375
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 4: convincing and quite quite grizzly. One hundred and sixty five

376
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 4: bucks will get you one of these. Not bad. It's

377
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 4: a nice piece. I don't think I want it displayed

378
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 4: in my house. It's really really gross.

379
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: He does make green style human skin lampshades, including human faces,

380
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 2: of course he does.

381
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, so give the artists some love that South Carolina

382
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 4: based artist Robert Kelly. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna wrap

383
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 4: it up for my segment today. Let's take a quick break,

384
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 4: we'll hear a word from our sponsor, and we'll be

385
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 4: back with more strange names for you.

386
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 3: And we have returned. I've constructed a little bit of

387
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 3: a narrative through line here that I think will feed

388
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 3: into some of the some of the stuff we'll discuss

389
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 3: with you, Matt in just a bit. For now, we're

390
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 3: going to look at Ai. Mecca Hitler aka rock over

391
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 3: on X is now launching something new, and it's something

392
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 3: that speaks to our earlier conversations with many of our

393
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 3: fellow listeners regarding people having intense emotional relationships with lll ms.

394
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 3: Folks who feel that they have like that guy from

395
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 3: Google a few years back. Folks who feel that they

396
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:08,239
Speaker 3: have reached a sentience and intelligence not only connected with it,

397
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 3: but fallen in love with it, or it's become their

398
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 3: best friend or their spiritual guide, or it has revealed

399
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 3: to them that they are in fact the Messiah. Because

400
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 3: the LM is essentially a yes and machine, it's a

401
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 3: terrible friend in that respect, as well as a terrible therapist.

402
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 3: But could it be a lover? That's the question that

403
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 3: we learned from decrypt dot co in a story that

404
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 3: came out just yesterday. I'll give us the title first,

405
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 3: just for initial reactions. Artificial Gooning Intelligence Elon musk x

406
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 3: ai launches wai Fu companions.

407
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 4: For grock gooning. You say, oh, I think it's a

408
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 4: little bit of a broad term. I think it means

409
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 4: different things to different people. But doesn't it just mean

410
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 4: like really long sessions of self love self care.

411
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 3: I'm a relatively square entity in a lot of ways,

412
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 3: and I remember on Behind the Bastards, Robert Evans introduced

413
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 3: the term and explained it to me in a way

414
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 3: I didn't understand. So I'm not sure I think your

415
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 3: definition is correct. I don't know if Robert was just

416
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 3: messing with me, because he gave me a definition that meant,

417
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 3: how do we put it, delicately, multiple people pleasuring themselves together.

418
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 3: See that.

419
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 4: I think that that's my point. It's a little bit

420
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 4: like it can be different things, because that's more what.

421
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 3: Like a like the old circle jerk right right?

422
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: No?

423
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, to me, I've more understood it as like a

424
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 4: form of like extended sessions of like self deprivation of

425
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 4: pleasure in a way. But I've never heard of group, yeah,

426
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 4: the group version of it. Let's just see what the

427
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 4: old Internet has to say. Really, yeah, check urban dictionary

428
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 4: often associated with online communities. Okay, I think.

429
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 3: The primary thing is it is associated with sex.

430
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 4: Prolong your self simulation with the goal of delaying or

431
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 4: avoiding orgasm is the rough term urban dictionary.

432
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 3: And yeah, that's what I saw as well. What we'd

433
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 3: love to do is here your made up terms for

434
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 3: gooning right to a conspiracy atiheartradio dot com. Here's the

435
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 3: story we're trying to get to, all right. Grock has

436
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 3: added on the heels of its anti semitic meltdown, Grock

437
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 3: has added a series of interactive AI companions for grock subscribers.

438
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 3: You pay thirty bucks a month and you play something

439
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 3: that's kind of like the Japanese relationship video games, where

440
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 3: you have to take certain actions to reach a level

441
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 3: of favorability with this companion. You can also see this

442
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 3: in video games like boulders Gate three or something. Right.

443
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 3: You have to you have to make your do things

444
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 3: that your companion likes and your relationship and relationship buffs, right,

445
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: and when you get to okay, so x Ai has

446
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 3: rolled out three different subscription based characters. There's Annie, who

447
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 3: is a blonde anime wife wu with a goth I'm

448
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 3: quoting here, goth and old fashioned style wearing a tight

449
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 3: black horset dress with thigh high fish nets. Uh. And

450
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 3: then there's also Rudy, who is a red panda in

451
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 3: a pink hoodie designed for wholesome conversations. The thing is

452
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 3: with Annie, A and I, when you get to level

453
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 3: three whatever that is, you unlock the not safe for

454
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 3: work content with your Twitter girlfriend and just to get

455
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,719
Speaker 3: in front of this no judgment, folks, but there is

456
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 3: no level three not safe for work content with the

457
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 3: red panda yet, thank god, so.

458
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 4: Far, there is nothing sacred. I don't believe the red

459
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 4: Panda sacred.

460
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 2: Guys, Guys. I found that what goon actually stands for.

461
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 3: Is it an acronyms?

462
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 4: An acronym?

463
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, it's it's the Grand Order of Occidental Nighthawks.

464
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 4: Okay, it's.

00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 3: Squad. Yeah, it's real.

Speaker 4: We are the Good Squad and we're coming to town bebeb.

467
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 3: So this is I wanted to bring this to everyone's

468
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 3: attention if you haven't heard about it yet, friends and neighbors,

469
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 3: because this seems to be the harbinger of much larger

470
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 3: controversies on the horizon. Uh the the company has been

471
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 3: taking a lot of heat for missteps with Grock and

472
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 3: with you know, other chatbots on Twitter for quite some

473
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 3: time now. This also is happening in step with something

474
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 3: we talked about off air, a two hundred million dollar

475
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 3: contract awarded to Grock from the Department of Defense earlier

476
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 3: this Monday. So like Lie fourteenth, it happened so quickly,

477
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 3: and I think we can all say, without sounding like Luddites,

478
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 3: that this can be concerning because imagine you're an adolescent, right,

479
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 3: and you're growing romantic interest and inclinations in whatever your

480
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 3: bag is, and you meet some LLM or some chat

481
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 3: bot esque thing that purports to provide you that sort

482
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 3: of interaction you're looking for. Will the standards be realistic?

483
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 3: Will this damage your prospects of interacting with human romantic partners?

484
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 2: Right?

485
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 3: If that's your baseline, you know what I mean?

486
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I mean it's not much different from like peorn addiction,

487
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 4: I would say, in that it can cultivate a very

488
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 4: unrealistic view of intimacy because it's so self serving. Everything's

489
00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 4: designed to feed your exact ego and your exact needs,

490
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 4: quote unquote, and there's very little compromise, which isn't really

491
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 4: how human relationships.

492
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 3: Work, right. It's concerning too, especially in the ways that

493
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 3: social media has arguably made folks more self centric, right

494
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 3: and more. I don't think there's anything wrong with being individualistic,

495
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 3: but maybe self involved past the threshold of helpfulness to

496
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 3: oneself add society. We'll move on because there's other stuff

497
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 3: we want to get to in this amount of time

498
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 3: we have. I do believe we can make an episode

499
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 3: about that defense contract and about the high level state

500
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 3: actor embrace of AI tools. I think that's a full episode.

501
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 3: So this is a weird way to tease that.

502
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 4: Are they friends again? I don't understand. I thought that

503
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 4: the beef was like irreparable between Trump and Musk, and

504
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 4: now they're given in more contracts. I guess it just

505
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 4: goes to show that those types of things, in many

506
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 4: ways are just opt and at the end of the day,

507
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 4: it's all about business, and you know, the rich helping

508
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 4: the rich. It's just confusing to me why they would

509
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 4: go with him when Trump seems to be very petty

510
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 4: about these types of fall and falling out fallings out.

511
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, part of it is due to just the the

512
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 3: separation of personality and business. I mean, unfortunately, a lot

513
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 3: of our fellow conspiracy realist in the audience tonight know

514
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 3: that your coworkers aren't always your friends, right, So maybe

515
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 3: it's a situation like that. The people having these conversations

516
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 3: about this defense contract, it's they're going to be the

517
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 3: career professionals, right, the people who actually make a rock run,

518
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 3: the people who actually allocate funding for the Department of Defense.

519
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 3: It seems unlikely that the current US president and Ela

520
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 3: Musk got in a room and a reried the hatchet

521
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 3: and did their secret handshake, and then Donald Trump said, oh,

522
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 3: by the way, my lad, here's two hundred million dollars.

523
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 2: That's likely check out my wife.

524
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 3: Who Oh they got a second bro, I'm about to

525
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 3: get the level three Settle three, goone. So that's maybe

526
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 3: that's the basis of the new friendship. But yeah, so

527
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 3: I propose we do an episode on that. I don't

528
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 3: know if we need to do a full Epstein update,

529
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 3: but I do think we need to mention this story.

530
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 3: I sent a joke to us in one of our

531
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 3: group chats yesterday the Epstein prison video. The saga continues.

532
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 3: We refer to the missing minute that was mentioned in

533
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 3: the FBI and the DOJ's official conclusion that there was

534
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 3: no Epstein client list, and thank you for everyone who

535
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 3: has written in and responded to that. We also found

536
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 3: something for the audio video nerds in the crowd. The

537
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 3: news is this. The Epstein prison video we mentioned didn't

538
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 3: have one minute cut out. According to the metadata that

539
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 3: people are finding, the video has approximately two minutes and

540
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 3: fifty three seconds that were removed from one of two

541
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 3: clips that were stitched together. So somebody was playing with

542
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 3: the tape.

543
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, In any kind of situation like that where you're

544
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 2: looking at video evidence, you want as raw of a

545
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 2: piece of videos you can get, right, So exactly what

546
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 2: the system spits out when it's, you know, recording something.

547
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 2: In this case, it does appear, Ben, it appears that

548
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:58,719
Speaker 2: somebody opened it in a premiere pro Yeah, that that

549
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 2: is what we edited many of the stuff they don't

550
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 2: want you to know videos in so you know, there's

551
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 2: some cool stuff you can do with that. One of

552
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,479
Speaker 2: the primary things is just putting two clips together and

553
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 2: then exporting it as one single clip, and you could say, hey,

554
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 2: here's the original footage.

555
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 3: M hmm. Yeah, and you, Matt deserved praise for doing

556
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 3: such a fantastic and patient job editing out our our

557
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 3: hapless host discoursions, curse words, and bloopers such that it

558
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 3: did look like one single piece. I'm remembering just the

559
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 3: countless times that I would have to restate something or

560
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 3: bungle a word, and you can get seamless.

561
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 2: You can do cool stuff in those DAWs, is what

562
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 2: they're called. But it just makes me nervous that it

563
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 2: even entered some kind of editing program at all before

564
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 2: it was delivered.

565
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, it's not a good look. Fired has a

566
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 3: great report on this. The Independent Journal Review has a

567
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,479
Speaker 3: good report The Independent Journal Review. You can read for free.

568
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 3: There's no paywall. That published today, as we record, and

569
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 3: what they break down here is the footage, as we said,

570
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 3: was pieced together with Adobe Premiere Pro. One clip was

571
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 3: reduced from four hours nineteen minutes, so that's the raw, right,

572
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 3: that was reduced by two minutes and fifty three seconds.

573
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 3: The cut happens at eleven fifty eight fifty eight PM.

574
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 3: So just at a minute before midnight, that's where that

575
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 3: one minute gap occurs around there, So just before that

576
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 3: there's the cut. The second clip restarts at midnight at

577
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 3: twelve am.

578
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 4: And is he then hanging? Is he swinging at that point? Like,

579
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I don't mean to be crass, but that's

580
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 4: what I picture in the fictional version of this type

581
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 4: of meddling. At what point is it a crucial moment?

582
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 4: We've talked about that. I don't think we were one

583
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 4: hundred percent sure. I'm wondering if there's any new intel

584
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 4: coming out about what portion was removed or damaged or

585
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 4: you know, sus.

586
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's a good question. The cut to the

587
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 3: first clip may not necessarily mean there's additional time unaccounted for,

588
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 3: and this is from some independent forensic reviews. The second

589
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 3: clip picking up at midnight does suggest the two would overlap.

590
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 3: So it feels really suspicious at the get go, but

591
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 3: is not necessarily evidence that we would consider smoking gut level. Still,

592
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 3: you know, I all like it.

593
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 2: Let's talk about something. It's a little uncomfortable through our

594
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 2: work on true crime, and I just I just went

595
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 2: to a couple of places online to verify this. We

596
00:35:55,120 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 2: have learned that strangling a human being takes law longer

597
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 2: than you may imagine that you see on films. Right, Yes,

598
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 2: so there's I mean, there's a pretty wide range because

599
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 2: there's so many factors that go into it. But you're

600
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 2: looking at more like four or five minutes probably to

601
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 2: strangle someone unless you can incapacitate them such that you can,

602
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 2: you know, get something around their neck in this case

603
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 2: and it's it's grizzly, but tie them in a way

604
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 2: that they cannot get out right or cannot ease, they

605
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 2: cannot stop it.

606
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 3: We're talking almost about breaking bones, like the highway bone

607
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 3: and stuff.

608
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 2: It's just it's, Yeah, while it's still suspicious, I'm I

609
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 2: don't know. I'm still trying to figure out how do

610
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 2: you get in and out and that fast and make

611
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 2: it look like that, right?

612
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 3: And then what other you know, what other alternative explanations

613
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 3: could there be for this. That's I'm with you. That's

614
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 3: why I that's why I feel comfortable saying this is

615
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 3: not smoking gun evidence. But this is a bad look

616
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 3: because at the very least, it draws into question the

617
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 3: official statements, right, because if it's not a big deal,

618
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 3: why don't you just mention it? I don't know. We'll

619
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 3: move on. We'd love to hear your thoughts, folks. Thanks

620
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 3: to everybody who's already responded to some of the Epstein news.

621
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 3: We want to hear your takes, especially if you are

622
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 3: involved in video forensics, and we always have some great

623
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 3: responses to this from people who work in related industries.

624
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 3: Hold on a moment, folks, We've got some breaking news.

625
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,479
Speaker 3: Can we get a sound cue for that? Dylan? Yes,

626
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 3: thank you. Before we move on, it's important to note

627
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 3: that the Epstein story slash scandal continues to develop. Please

628
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 3: check out the Wall Street Journal's new revelation that Donald

629
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 3: Trump apparently contributed a salacious letter and drawing to a

630
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 3: fiftieth birthday book for a disgraced sex trafficker and financier,

631
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 3: Jeffrey Epstein. We also know there's a lot going on

632
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 3: in the wind at this moment. Please note that we

633
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 3: will stay tuned and we will update accordingly. Now back

634
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 3: to the show. Two more things I want to hit

635
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 3: before we move on. This is something that I know

636
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 3: a lot of us are going to write in about.

637
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 3: Have you been shocked by your electric bill? Get it shocked?

638
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 3: Electric bill. That's not our pun, but shout out to

639
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 3: Emily Forlini, who wrote this for PC mag just a

640
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 3: few days ago. It turns out that artificial intelligence data

641
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 3: centers and the cost of deploying artificial intelligence is spiking

642
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 3: prices in thirteen states by upwards of twenty percent. We're

643
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 3: talking to Delaware, Illinois, Indiana. We're talking to Maryland, Michigan,

644
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 3: New Jersey, North Carolina, Deep Breath, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia,

645
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 3: West Virginia, and the District of Columbia dropped the people.

646
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 3: This is a crazy story because in Pennsylvania, businesses are

647
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,439
Speaker 3: seeing a twenty nine percent increase in their electric bill.

648
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 3: And you know, we're all the all four of us

649
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 3: recording tonight. We mainly reside in Georgia, and Georgia summers

650
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 3: are brutal, right, Does everybody's build spike a little in

651
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 3: some way? Yeah?

652
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. I was just having a conversation with my

653
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 2: dad about this, Like he was looking at his electric

654
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 2: bill when I was over there last time, and he

655
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 2: just went, Wow, that's more than I thought it would be.

656
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 2: Uh huh. Interesting. Interesting way.

657
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 3: That's the way Dad's talked too, talking about old man

658
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,919
Speaker 3: and saying, yeah, you know, it turns out I don't

659
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 3: also run the electric company.

660
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, he's not mad at me, Like he's definitely

661
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 2: just last time I was out there, we were talking

662
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 2: about things like Georgia Power, like a big electric company

663
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 2: that we have here in Georgia versus he's like co

664
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 2: ops like Swanee or Jackson or some of those, and

665
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 2: just like is it better to have one or the other.

666
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 2: And that's when he showed me the old electric bill.

667
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 4: I was not happy.

668
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 3: It's it's especially considering that here in Georgia there's a

669
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 3: bit of legislation in the wind that would make the

670
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 3: price of energy or electricity cheaper for data centers, with

671
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 3: the discrepancy being carried on to your organic, non business consumers.

672
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 2: Dude, I had a conversation with an HVAC guy who's

673
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 2: out here because my AC is finally fixed. Who he

674
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 2: was talking about the thing you can sign up for

675
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 2: or a lot of the places offer where it's like

676
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 2: you get fifty dollars off every year or something if

677
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 2: you let them sometimes turn off your AC at non

678
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 2: peak hours or whatever. And the HVAC guy said, oh, dude,

679
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: I get calls all the time at peak hours from people.

680
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 2: I come out, I test their whole system, I look

681
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 2: at everything. It's the power company is turning off their

682
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 2: AC at like mid day, you know, two pm when

683
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 2: the sun is super hot, and he's like, I just

684
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 2: disconnect the thing that lets him turn it off and

685
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 2: it works fine.

686
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 3: Nice, nice one dude, Nice one. HVAC guy. Yeah, this

687
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 3: is I know we're going a little bit long, but

688
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 3: I think it connects to many of us listening tonight,

689
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 3: especially Americans in the audience, because if you're wondering why

690
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 3: prices are increasing with electricity bills in particular, it may

691
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 3: indeed be due to AI and the construction of these

692
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 3: massive data centers, or the just the surge and demand

693
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 3: from processing power. So please write to us and let

694
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 3: us know what it's like in your neck of the

695
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 3: global woods. The last thing we want to mention was

696
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,760
Speaker 3: something that is good news from Britain, accidental good news.

697
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 3: There was a data leak, a massive data leak that

698
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 3: exposed off gone assets and informants, people working in intelligence,

699
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 3: and as we mentioned earlier in our New Your War episode, again,

700
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 3: a lot of times those folks will end up getting

701
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 3: burned by the government or the agency that is I

702
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 3: won't even say employing, that is using them. So as

703
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 3: a result of this leak, thousands of Afghan nationals have

704
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 3: been brought to Britain in secrecy to save their lives,

705
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 3: which is, you know, leak aside, opsec aside. That's a

706
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 3: decent thing for the British government to do. But not

707
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 3: every leak turns out that way. And with that I

708
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 3: suggest we pause for a word from our sponsors and

709
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 3: then get into some other leak stories.

710
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:48,760
Speaker 2: And we've returned, guys. The definition of the word strive. Strive,

711
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 2: according to Merriam Webster, is to devote serious effort or energy.

712
00:42:54,719 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 2: Also to struggle in opposition. Strive. Sometimes it's combined, like

713
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 2: if you look at Oxford English and a couple of

714
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 2: other places. Is it is to devote serious energy, especially

715
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 2: in heavy opposition strive if you say it in Swedish.

716
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:19,280
Speaker 2: Is Strava Strava. Now there is an app, a very

717
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 2: popular app with that name, Strava. It's a fitness app,

718
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 2: kind of like you know, your Fitbit things and all

719
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 2: the super popular ones here in the States. This one

720
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 2: is global. It's started by a couple of guys who

721
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 2: just had a cool idea after they were hanging out

722
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 2: in Harvard, you know at Harvard, I guess in Harvard

723
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 2: around Harvard.

724
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 4: Hard stuff. Yeah, messing with the free run.

725
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 2: It was started in two thousand and nine. I believe

726
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 2: those guys were rowers.

727
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 4: You know.

728
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 2: It reminds me of the Skulls movie. I think that

729
00:43:55,280 --> 00:44:00,280
Speaker 2: was Yale, but skull and Bones maybe what it was called. Anyway,

730
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,879
Speaker 2: weird stuff. These guys figured, hey, let's make an app

731
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 2: that you can really track what you're doing, how much

732
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 2: you're doing it, where you're doing it, and let's make

733
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 2: this thing social baby, so you could share stuff like

734
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 2: how hard you're striving to get those fitness goals right,

735
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 2: and you can show off. You can even show off

736
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 2: exactly where you ran and how long you ran and

737
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 2: all that good stuff. You know, you know what, Let's

738
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 2: let people have maps of where they run. That's a

739
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 2: great idea. That sounds cool, dude, Yo, that sounds really great.

740
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 2: Let's do that.

741
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 3: Okay, your wicked snap, your wicked smart maki.

742
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 2: But actually it is, like on the surface, it's great.

743
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 2: If you go to the Strava website Strava dot com,

744
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 2: st r a v a dot com, you can learn

745
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 2: all about the cool stuff they do, and it is cool.

746
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 2: If if I was on a serious fitness routine thing

747
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 2: going right now, this would be at least up in

748
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 2: the top one or two competitive apps that I'd be

749
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 2: interested in. The only thing is probably wouldn't be that

750
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 2: excited because of the social aspects. It is good to know.

751
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 2: If you're like me and you don't want social aspects

752
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 2: to be shared, you can just turn those things off

753
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 2: in the app and that's not a problem. Cool. The

754
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 2: app still works, great, it's awesome. But if you don't

755
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 2: turn off the social aspects, uh oh, then you are

756
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 2: gonna share with people if you decide to all of

757
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 2: your location information, a ton of information, especially and specifically

758
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 2: where you are running when you're deciding to share that

759
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:35,760
Speaker 2: kind of thing.

760
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 3: Even worse than that one website for Square, remember four square.

761
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 4: Which was just which was just essentially ayre with whatever,

762
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 4: like Yeah, you have posted the.

763
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 3: Location and the time that you were at and there

764
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 3: in real time, and it was gamified such that you know,

765
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 3: if you went to the Dave and Busters all the time,

766
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 3: you could eventually become the mayor of Dave and Busters,

767
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 3: not a king. Because the US is still a democracy.

768
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 3: But the thing that got me about it, I think

769
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 3: we all initially had this reaction was looking at this

770
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 3: from admittedly a paranoid baseline. I remember distinctly. I think

771
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 3: it was you and me matt At looking at it

772
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 3: and going, so, this just tells people when to rob you.

773
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 3: That's the game, It's like, is that the game of

774
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 3: this thing? So, but this sounds even more a more sophisticated,

775
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 3: accelerated version of what for Square is. And I think

776
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 3: one of the first questions would be are the social

777
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,760
Speaker 3: settings on by default?

778
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 2: I don't know. I assume they are somewhat or like,

779
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 2: as you're setting up the app, like with many others,

780
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,359
Speaker 2: you give it access to certain things, right like your

781
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 2: location data and then your privacy settings. You can go

782
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 2: in and change those after it's all set up. But

783
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 2: I haven't actually used it, so I don't know that.

784
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 2: All I know is that some folks who are using

785
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 2: this thing are accidentally giving way their locations, and unfortunately

786
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 2: their locations are really important because they are protecting high

787
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 2: value human beings like the Swedish royal family. So here

788
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 2: we go. This is from NBC News July tenth, Swedish

789
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 2: bodyguards fitness app data reveals private locations of royal family.

790
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 2: I'm going to read just a couple of quotes from

791
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 2: this and then we can talk about it. The National

792
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 2: Security Service there in Sweden said it's investigating reports that

793
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 2: data shared by bodyguards on a fitness app Strava had

794
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 2: exposed the private locations of some of the country's most

795
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:43,240
Speaker 2: powerful figures. It comes after the Swedish newspaper doggins dag

796
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 2: ns nithe I don't know how you say it and

797
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 2: y h e t er. They reported earlier that seven

798
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 2: members of the security service were sharing details on their

799
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 2: running and cycling routes on this fitness app, inadvertently revealing

800
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 2: the locations of the King in Queen's personal vacations. So

801
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 2: like where the King and Queen are hanging out when

802
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 2: they're in the Seychelles, or where they're in northern Sweden

803
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 2: in a place called Storlin, or you know, out at

804
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 2: the French riviera on a private luxury villa, which is fine, like, hey,

805
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 2: that's where the King and Queen are. But again, Ben,

806
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 2: as you said, if somebody has ill intent towards one

807
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 2: of these VIPs, then you just have to load up

808
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 2: your Strava app and check out specific people if you

809
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 2: know where to look and who to look for. But

810
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 2: it gets even worse. Guys, just before all of this

811
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 2: came out, the Prime Minister in Sweden's location was given

812
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 2: away I think at thirty or thirty five specific places,

813
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 2: including his home address, including everywhere he goes on runs,

814
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 2: including like other important people's houses and places of business

815
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 2: that he went to visit. Just locations that you don't

816
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 2: want to give away for security purposes, especially if you're

817
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 2: in the business of protecting these folks. Probably not a

818
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 2: good idea. And this isn't even close to the first

819
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 2: time Strava has had a problem with this, just like

820
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 2: other fitness apps and other location tracking apps have had problems,

821
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 2: but this one specifically. There's this cool thing that has

822
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 2: happened in the past where someone will go on a run, right,

823
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 2: and they will draw a picture on the map with

824
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 2: their running. Does that make sense, like you could draw

825
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 2: a picture of a bunny rabbit depending on where you run,

826
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:40,240
Speaker 2: because it actually draws out with GPS coordinates the pictures

827
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 2: you create. That's fun, that's cool. But another thing that

828
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 2: happened back in twenty twenty two military bases in Israel,

829
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 2: like the full bases. The inner workings of the base

830
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:57,760
Speaker 2: were outlined through some of this Strava app stuff because

831
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,359
Speaker 2: personnel were walking through the base, and now you can know, oh,

832
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 2: here's the ingress egress in all of these areas and

833
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 2: where you can actually turn. It's almost like giving somebody

834
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 2: a blueprint of something.

835
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 3: It's exactly like that.

836
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, like in the past, if you just had

837
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 2: satellite imagery and you imagine you're an opposing force or something. Okay,

838
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 2: I can see there's a large building there, but I

839
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,879
Speaker 2: have no idea actually what's inside or how you move

840
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 2: through it or anything like that. Right now you have

841
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 2: this data overlay there you go, and this is something

842
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 2: that you can't really walk back.

843
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 3: Right For instance, the bodyguards here, assuming they still have

844
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 3: employment with the royal family, they can turn off this

845
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 3: stuff so it won't happen in the future. But they can't.

846
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 3: I guess they could try to remove it from the

847
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 3: system with help of from the company, remove that information

848
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 3: in that data, but it's not going to remove it

849
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 3: from the minds or the servers of anybody who already

850
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 3: accessed it in the past. I don't know, man, this

851
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 3: is such a logistical headache because now you've got to

852
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 3: imagine all the conventional regular routes have to be rethought, right,

853
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 3: You've got to fight a new vacation spot.

854
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 4: I don't know, man, Well, it goes even beyond this.

855
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 2: Guys. In twenty twenty three, there was a I don't

856
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 2: know his exact position. He's essentially in the navy, but

857
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 2: he was a commander for the Russian Navy, essentially specifically

858
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 2: for submarines. He had his Strava profile open when he

859
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 2: was walking around, and it suspected that that app gave

860
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 2: away his specific location and he was assassinated. It's suspected

861
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:50,399
Speaker 2: of that. There was very recently somebody in Kiev who

862
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 2: was assassinated and I don't know if Strava has anything

863
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 2: to do with that, but it looks pretty similar to

864
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:59,720
Speaker 2: some of the reportings. Like the initial reportings, they located

865
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 2: this guy in a parking lot and just took him

866
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 2: out really quickly. There it goes back to during the

867
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 2: last election, everybody, Kamala Harris, President Trump, everybody was being

868
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 2: tracked with Strava because of the secret service that was

869
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 2: around them.

870
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:21,760
Speaker 3: It's like, this is crazy, It's it's nuts too, because

871
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,399
Speaker 3: this can happen in so many ways. I agree with you, Matt,

872
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 3: that this would be a timely episode. I think it's again,

873
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 3: it's easy for a lot of folks, not even royal family,

874
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 3: right or royal family adjacent, It's so easy for a

875
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:43,240
Speaker 3: lot of folks to forget how public various applications will

876
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 3: make your location. Forgive the accidental rhyme there. But you know,

877
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 3: I think about that when we look at the big,

878
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 3: the big social media things, right that always give you

879
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 3: the opportunity to post your location. Hey, everybody in the

880
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 3: neighborhood who might want to steal this car, don't worry.

881
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 3: I'm in Botswata. Here's a fun picture of me and

882
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 3: some animals. You know, you go, It's it's tough, you

883
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 3: gotta be you gotta be careful with these kind of things.

884
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 3: But I it feels like these are just going to

885
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 3: continue in the future, right, something like this is going

886
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 3: to inevitably happen. Similar to when we were talking about

887
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 3: those poor folks who just missed their families, you know,

888
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,839
Speaker 3: on various submarines, and we're writing a letter to their

889
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 3: loved win because they're in a very difficult long distance

890
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 3: relationship and then boom, someone said, you know some enemy forces, like,

891
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 3: oh they are by horror moves.

892
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, really somebody working out as hard as they

893
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 2: can on a sub and oh there's the location of

894
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 2: that nuclear submarine that the like probably not probably not

895
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,240
Speaker 2: going to get the cordinate's out from the sub because

896
00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 2: of the signal or whatever. But it's fine. It goes

897
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,399
Speaker 2: back to twenty seventeen. I completely missed this, I think.

898
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,359
Speaker 2: I don't know if we talked about it. I can't

899
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 2: remember talking about it. But there was a medium article

900
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:14,839
Speaker 2: written by a person named Drew Robb who looked at

901
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,919
Speaker 2: this thing called the Global heat Map, which is something

902
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 2: that was created out of Strava's global network of athletes.

903
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,720
Speaker 2: According to the article, and it is a global map

904
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 2: of runs that people had taken, and it included a

905
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 2: full walkthrough essentially of United States bases in Syria and Afghanistan,

906
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,359
Speaker 2: as well as the Royal Navy's fast Lane Base which

907
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 2: Fasla n Base. Major major security flaws. So let's just

908
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 2: keep our eyes and ears open on this. Let us

909
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:50,919
Speaker 2: know if you use the app or a fitness app

910
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 2: or a location tracker that you're excited about that we

911
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 2: need to know about.

912
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 3: The post your location to us right, give us like

913
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 3: a your social security number, blood type, list of childhood fears,

914
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 3: what else? Favorite favorite location on your nuclear sub Where

915
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 3: do you guys work out? Yeah? How close is it

916
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 3: to the bay? Oh gosh, that's dark humor. But it's

917
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 3: a real thing, and it's something I believe we can

918
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 3: all agree, everyone including us, needs to think about more often.

919
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:29,880
Speaker 2: Agreed. Well, that's it. Thanks for listening, y'all.

920
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,280
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you so much for joining us, friends and neighbors,

921
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:38,320
Speaker 3: Fellow conspiracy realists. We can't wait to hear if you

922
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:42,760
Speaker 3: successfully nail that job in the Chinese National Park system.

923
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 3: Tell us about your experiences with Wi Fu companions. Take

924
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 3: a Yeti blood oath with us, or even better, tell

925
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:53,760
Speaker 3: us what a YETI blood oath should be. We cannot,

926
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 3: oh gosh, and we welcome everybody's observations about electric bills.

927
