Speaker 2: boy summer.

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: Sick boy summer. We did an episode about the placebo

00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: effect this morning, and I am immediately sick, fucking annoying. Anyways,

15
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,280

16
00:00:58,360 --> 00:00:58,720

00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: Shall we tell the people what's trending to European Summer.

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: That's where you're wondering where Miles is. He's taking part

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: in the European Summer along with Kanye West, who was

21
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: spotted on main in Venice with his ass hanging out

22
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: of the split in the back of his blazer.

23
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: Just getting a blowy on a gondola.

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, getting a blowy on a gondola, which is I mean,

25
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: I'm it's the sort of thing you would brag about

26
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: in a song, but it doesn't. It didn't look that cool. Actually,

27
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: it looked weird, looked it looked awkward.

28
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 2: He seemed way too concerned about It's that weird thing

29
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: where it's like, Okay, you're down enough to get a

30
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: blowy on a gondola, but you're also very concerned, but

31
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: you're concerned about you can see it's super weird. I

32
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: don't get it. It's like, if you're gonna do that,

33
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: just be out there.

34
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, just like in the super ego happening at the

35
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: same time, and also like in a nearby boat. I'm

36
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: pretty sure one of their personal assistants was like having

37
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: to just pretend it wasn't happening. That's the real crime

38
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: against humanity on display here. Anyways, Speaking of that whole

39
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: realm of humanity, there was a video.

40
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 3: With Chris Jenner.

41
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: I guess it was posted by Chris Jenner's makeup artists,

42
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 1: and Chris Jenner looks like she's in her early thirties

43
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: in the video, but also looks like partially computer generated

44
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: and the makeup artist is like, oh, Chris, oh, it's amazing,

45
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: it's beautiful. You look wonderful. And I don't know, people

46
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: people are mad about it. They're like, she looks ridiculous,

47
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: she looks like AI. I actually think she looks way

48
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: better than the daged characters in the Irishman.

49
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: That that is a fact that she absolutely does her

50
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: daging algorithm on her phone or whoever's phone looks better

51
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: than the Irishman. But I think I think people are

52
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: genuinely mad about this. I think they might be a

53
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: little out of touch with like phone face smoothing in

54
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: other cultures, because this is very normal in Asian countries

55
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: to see this level of Yeah, for sure, for sure,

56
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: it does look a little unnatural to the Western eye.

57
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: But it's not like.

58
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 3: I think pretty good, it's pretty good.

59
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: I think they're nailing it anyways. I mean, also, I

60
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: have heard tell that every shot in Keeping Up with

61
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: the Kardashians has some manner of face tage going on

62
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: sixty seven.

63
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: Yeah looks great, doesn't she Yo's great? Doesn't folks?

64
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: Wow? Okay, yeah I did not. Yeah, I wouldn't have

65
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: guessed that.

66
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: There's an article on Dazed digital about why is everyone

67
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: on TikTok talk like that aka influencer voice? And I

68
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: think I know this tone just from like videos making

69
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: fun of it.

70
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: I think, like we yeah, yeah.

71
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: It's definitely a thing. If you watch like you know,

72
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: you know, influencers YouTube personalities. I notice it a lot.

73
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: There's a particular cadence and hey, guys.

74
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 3: That's how it starts. I do that. I have influencer voice,

75
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 3: and that's how I talk to my family.

76
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 2: It's I love the idea of influencer voice in like

77
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 2: everyday life.

78
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: I just got some groceries that I'm going to be

79
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: unpacking right now into the refrigerator, So come on over

80
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: here and watch. We got some lactose free milk because

81
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: otherwise you guys are gonna shit yourselves.

82
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 3: I don't know if that if I'm still influencer voicing

83
00:04:59,320 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 3: it or not.

84
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 2: Now. Something something I'm noticing in this article is like

85
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: the clips are all of women, Oh yeah, which I

86
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: think is interesting because people, Yes, of course, people like

87
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: to pick on linguistic traits of women.

88
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: Weate the trends that men then catch up to like

89
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: a decade later.

90
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 2: Like vocal fry. It's like people like to think that

91
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: vocal fry is something that only women do, and it's

92
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: it's just, I don't know, it smacks of you know, sexism.

93
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Well, men aren't allowed to be expressive with

94
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: their voices or like try new things.

95
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 3: They have to just talk in a monotone.

96
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: So women get to like explore the space and have

97
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: fun with their voice, and then men catch up to

98
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: it ten fifteen years later. But the whole time, the

99
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen years that it's taken them to catch

100
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: up and like incorporate all of the innovations that women

101
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: are making, they spend that in entire time criticizing the

102
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: women for talking that way.

103
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, if these are the only kind of examples they're

104
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 2: putting out there, it's only women. I'm not really I'm

105
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 2: not really fucking with this.

106
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: But it's according to Tony Thorn and doctor Christian Ilbury,

107
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: a socio linguist at the University of Edinburgh. He adds

108
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: that up talk, where people end their sentence with a

109
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: higher pitch as if they're asking a question, is another

110
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: common characteristic of TikTok boys.

111
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 3: I don't I think it's great.

112
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: That people like people should should have a new way

113
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: of talking and be creating new ways of talking all

114
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: the time. But yeah, it does feel like Tony Thorn

115
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: and doctor Christian Ilberry are going are just basically creating

116
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: ways for middle aged men to retirement aged men to

117
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: complain about how people how women talk on the internet.

118
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, because up talk is definitely like a lot of

119
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: New Zealanders, White New Zealanders have a have an up

120
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: talk at the end of their sentences and it never

121
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 2: sounds like they're finishing their sentences. And yeah, and I

122
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: always always make fun of her for that. That's always

123
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: really interesting to me. But yeah, I mean it's good

124
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: that people are keeping, you know, track of this sort

125
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: of thing, I guess, But yeah, I.

126
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: Think it's an observation. Yeah, it's a normal way of talking.

127
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: Find a new angle, asshole. We got to say rip

128
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: to Joe the Plumber, who I'd forgotten existed.

129
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: Who's Joe the Plumber?

130
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: You don't remember Joe the Plumber? Two thousand and eight

131
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: presidential election. He got on one of the.

132
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: Like remember most of two thousand and eight, be honest

133
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: with you.

134
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: He got on like a town hall with Barack Obama

135
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: and asked him things about like how he was going

136
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: to pay for his tax plan, which you always know

137
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: when people are digging into the weeds of the tax

138
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: plan that they gotta have a tax plan. They're always

139
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: gonna be good faith arguers. But anyways, the clip would

140
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: have been totally forgotten. But John McCain kept referencing Joe

141
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: the Plumber in the final debate and then like, I

142
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: think he like brought him out and like campaigned with

143
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: him and made this guy, Joe the Plumber, into a

144
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: national celebrity. And the attention led to the revelation that

145
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: Joe the Plumber hadn't actually paid all of his taxes,

146
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: and he wasn't a fully licensed plumber, and his name

147
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: wasn't Joe.

148
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: That was my next question was like, is he actually

149
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: a plumber?

150
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: Sure demanded that he removed the designation from his own website,

151
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: and Joe the Plumber later said of John McCain, he

152
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: really screwed my life up. McCain was trying to use me.

153
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: I happened to be the faith of middle Americans. It

154
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: was a ploy, and he then tried to capitalize on

155
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: his newfound celebrity, releasing a book Fighting for the American

156
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: Dream that.

157
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, the cover.

158
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: Is not great not the best cover design that I've

159
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: ever seen.

160
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: Yes, it's lacking. It's definitely lacking. He looks like he's

161
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 2: on benzos.

162
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 3: He does look like he's on benzos a lot of

163
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 3: the time.

164
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: And he got in trouble for his campaign ads which

165
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: suggested that gun control led to the Holocaust. So, in

166
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: case you were waiting for that other shoe to drop

167
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: on Joe the Plumber, that was it.

168
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not gonna do the math on that one. Yeah,

169
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna leave that, Leave that to him. Well,

170
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,479
Speaker 2: you know, truly one of the greatest too ever.

171
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 3: Not be noticed by you?

172
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, never literally never heard of this guy.

173
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: So he ran for Congress, lost badly, and then around

174
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: the time of his day he passed away from I

175
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: believe pancreatic cancer. But he was recently working for a

176
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: company that makes steel barricades to protect students in the

177
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: event of a mass shooting.

178
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, it's the booming.

179
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: Industry, America's gun problem. You might call it a problem.

180
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: I call it a job creator.

181
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it stimulates the economy.

182
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: Thank you.

183
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come back,

184
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: and we're back. We're back, really enjoying my deep voice,

185
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: my deep gravelly voice.

186
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 3: Show it folks, get it, get it well to get

187
00:10:59,440 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 3: in limited.

188
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: Dude, I feel like I could do a what's his name? Uh,

189
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: what's the conspiracy theory guy? This is the other problem.

190
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: I have brain fog. I'm sick.

191
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, but whatever the conspiracy theory guy talks like.

192
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 2: His name is Jones, Alex Jones. Yeah, you can do

193
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 2: me and Alex Jones.

194
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 3: If I could remember his name and had ever listened

195
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 3: to him.

196
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: Disney Special Effects workers VFX workers have filed to unionize

197
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: with the NLRB, which is a big deal.

198
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, for number of reasons.

199
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: You know, photo realistic talking lines don't just appear.

200
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 3: At the touch of a button. It takes a lot

201
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 3: of labor.

202
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: And as we've talked about throughout the strike, VFX workers

203
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: are like the last major, you know, part of a

204
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: the making of a film that haven't been unionized, and

205
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: they've yeah, they've suffered for it, and we as film

206
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: viewers have suffered for it. And that's why special effects

207
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: seem to like there'll be one really good one and

208
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: then a decade and a half of like, yeah, you know,

209
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: Avatar will happen, and then for a decade and a half,

210
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: like everything that is three D will suck. Life of

211
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: Pie will have like really cool special effects, but then

212
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: by the time they won an Academy Award for it,

213
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: the company that did the special effects will have gone

214
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: out of business.

215
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 2: Because that's disturbingly common for VFX houses to put in

216
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 2: an insane amount of hours and put in good work

217
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 2: a lot of the time, and it's just it's not

218
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: sustainable for them.

219
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, So the Disney News follows the news from last

220
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: week that Marvel VFX workers filed unionize and votes will

221
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: be counted for that on September twelfth.

222
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 3: But there's just been a lot.

223
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: Of reporting that it's a bad place to work. As

224
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: VFX artists have explained in the past, they're the only

225
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: major department currently working on every film set in America

226
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: that is not unionized, and as a result, they have

227
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: been taken advantage of. A twenty twenty two survey found

228
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: that seventy percent of VFX workers report having worked uncompensated

229
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: overtime hours for their employer, and seventy five percent of

230
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: them were forced to work through legally mandated meal breaks

231
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: and rest periods without compensation and on set VFX workers

232
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: reported working in conditions they felt unsafe and so killing

233
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: it Hollywood. Yeah, this is why it's it's really important

234
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: that the unions come away from this strike strong, because

235
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: when there's no union, this is how workers are treated.

236
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not going to do the right thing out

237
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 2: of the kindness of their heart.

238
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

239
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,239
Speaker 2: It has to be taken and maintained.

240
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: It has to be forced on them. Yeah yeah, or

241
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: just you know, there needs to be They will treat

242
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: you as badly as they possibly can. Yeah, all right,

243
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: I want to talk about drones. You are a drone

244
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: pilot in your spare time, your free time, you take

245
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: some pretty cool videos. It's a weird It's like a

246
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: fascination of the book The Ministry for the Future that

247
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: we covered that's about like the near future of climate change.

248
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: And one of the threads that they predict in that

249
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: book is like eco terrorists will have will start affecting

250
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: things by you know, taking commercial airlines out of the sky,

251
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: attacking billionaires. And all of these eco terror attacks happened

252
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: via drone. And I don't know, I could see the

253
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: future where drones are like just crawling all over the

254
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: air and the news but I'm just curious, like what

255
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: is so democratic about drones that's different from like bomb

256
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: building or you know, like it seems harder to train

257
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: yourself and become like precision with a drone as opposed

258
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: to just learning to make a bomb or these guns

259
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: which are everywhere. But maybe like is it easier to

260
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: be anonymous?

261
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: What is democratizing about drones, especially in twenty twenty three

262
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 2: is that they basically fly themselves at uh. Yeah, that's

263
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: one big thing is like you can pilot a drone

264
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: autonomously by setting waypoints and stuff like that, and the

265
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: imaging has gotten a lot better, so it's like you

266
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: don't need special skills to pilot this this thing, you

267
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: just need a little bit of practice. And the range

268
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 2: is also insane these days, where it's like, you know,

269
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: I can send my drone ten kilometers out and if

270
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: you're only on a one way trip, that's you know,

271
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: that's pretty handy, you know, not being detected.

272
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes sense.

273
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: It's a lot of things, and they're also a lot

274
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 2: more affordable than they used to be. And yeah, yeah,

275
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 2: there's just the convergence of a lot of different things

276
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: that just makes this a lot more available a lot easy.

277
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 2: You can just go to you know, best Buy, Costco wherever,

278
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 2: just pick one up.

279
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

280
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: So some of the news stories that we've seen over

281
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks, like one of Mexico's most

282
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: violent cartels has just created its own elite unit of

283
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: drone operators, which are like highly trained hit men that

284
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: tweak commercial drones and turn them into flying bombs to

285
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: use against rival cartels. So, I don't know, it seems

286
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: like that sort of thing what we'll see more and

287
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: more of it, maybe, But.

288
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 2: I'm surprised we haven't seen more of it domestically, you know,

289
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 2: in the States, just because just by way of when

290
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 2: people see shit on the internet, like they want to

291
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 2: copy it. And it's like we've seen a lot in

292
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: the past year. We've seen a lot of footage of

293
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 2: drones in warfare from Ukraine doing really innovative things with

294
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 2: commercial drones. I'll just leave it at that, and it's

295
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: just like no one's expecting, like, you know, that kind

296
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: of death from above. Yeah.

297
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: Are they getting quieter because the ones I've seen sound

298
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: like fucking lawnmowers.

299
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 3: Now they've gotten quieter.

300
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 2: Well, it depends, like you know, it scales up with size.

301
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, there's a lot of work being done with

302
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 2: material sciences and now with three D printing, you can

303
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: design propellers that are a lot quieter than in the

304
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 2: stock ones. And you know, when I put my drone up,

305
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: it only has to be about like maybe fifty feet

306
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: in the air to where I can't hear it anymore.

307
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: And wow, that's not that high up and those that's

308
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 2: just stocked. So yeah, it's terrifying.

309
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:17,959
Speaker 3: That's crazy.

310
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: It's a terrifying prospect.

311
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: Like there there are these evolutionary biologist theories that one

312
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: of the most kind of at a gut level creepy

313
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: things that like gives people goosebumps, is like when a

314
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: shadow passes overhead, and I think it's from back when

315
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: like birds used to be thunderbirds you have like twenty

316
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,960
