00:01:55.240 i'm with marcella and owen you are at the scott adams school and if you are like where am i and

00:02:00.980 you've never been here before just come on in settle down with us chat with the chat everybody's

00:02:07.180 super friendly youtube is beyond charming rumble is rambunctious x is mysterious and the locals

00:02:15.080 are the beloved and for spotify they can't see our beautiful faces and our clips but they can

00:02:20.800 hear it all so come on in um today i have just a couple of clips is beverly here you guys i just

00:02:28.640 oh did i just see her beverly i just saw you i have a i have an opening clip in honor beverly's

00:02:36.880 sweet orange boy stumpy is no longer with us i know so she has a cat that she took in from

00:02:44.780 that was like a random visiting cat. He's so sweet and beautiful. And anyway, I was thinking,

00:02:53.660 Bev, this might be a good idea. You could monetize this new cat. Let me show you what's up.

00:03:06.300 So people in the chat can like pay a little token and it lets the cat food come out into the bowl.

00:03:14.260 i saw this i was thinking of doing this for my own cat i was like

00:03:20.120 i mean

00:03:23.620 does the cat have diabetes now i don't know

00:03:28.640 it's gonna be a fat cat the cat so that's just an idea if you ever taken a stray and you're like 0.76

00:03:38.000 hey listen i need money to pay for this sucker there you go that's an idea uh that was my animal

00:03:43.140 clip and my economic um advice clip of the day so there you go just like trump monetize everything 0.93

00:03:51.580 i mean why not maybe get your own cat food brand who knows or maybe make it like a bitcoin token

00:03:57.780 why you stop at cats anything right what if we what are you thinking marcella people

00:04:04.460 yes i was just gonna say for the like the san francisco issue and la and everything so what

00:04:11.660 if there was like a little token and then that would find your homeless that would give the

00:04:16.120 fentanyl out to the homeless no food food food focus on food no come on make it fun no bath

00:04:24.220 given the fentanyl no we'll shoot out like granola bars or something oh but then karen

00:04:30.460 bass has to get them new teeth to eat the granola bars something soft pudding and applesauce there

00:04:35.300 go there'll be a dentist involved we're solving problems for the world right now

00:04:42.500 like if you were like okay i'm going on that app and it's like and i'm not making fun of these

00:04:47.380 people but it's like feed a drug addict it's like okay i'm gonna feed a drug addict making a

00:04:52.980 difference yeah and you can see them get the food and receive it and like be happy and you're like

00:04:57.700 okay good so i'll just build an ai version then there's no real homeless people impacted

00:05:02.740 what do you do build an ai version yeah just you know fake homeless people getting fake food for

00:05:07.900 money oh that's a good one too that's a good one yeah that's really i have to give them or anything

00:05:15.720 you just take it all like the sarah mclaughlin commercials where all that stuff i think was

00:05:19.320 fake too what with the i can't i'll get dinged on our channel if i sing the song but with the animals

00:05:27.700 come on i'm getting ideas for sure where did that money really go erica come on i don't know i can't

00:05:34.980 watch the commercial as soon as i hear that song start i'm like darn thing we went on an odd side

00:05:40.940 quest i know but i'm thinking owen that wasn't very philanthropic of you for the people that

00:05:46.460 really need the food i at least had a good intention oh my gosh i'm just going with the

00:05:53.080 fraud theme that seems to have taken over the country ah fraud fraud yes the big f word what

00:05:58.080 is this clip hmm i brought a clip and i don't know what it is not knowing what the clip is yeah

00:06:04.300 very exciting risky click oh shoot well okay i do want participation um on this topic okay i kind

00:06:17.080 of threw this at Owen and Marcella last minute, because I want to know in the chat, what you guys

00:06:23.860 all know about this tick situation. So the weather's warm, people are outside. I have seen videos.

00:06:32.200 I've heard about this before. So let's kind of work this out together. And I do not want to be

00:06:37.520 an alarmist, but I want us to at least know what's happening and to, you know, see what kind of

00:06:43.900 precautions we need so let me just play this and then we have two clips about it so i'm going to

00:06:48.360 play actually i'll play this one first it's joe rogan with uh tim burchett he said his last name

00:06:54.160 is burchett by the way not burchett so now it's tim burchett yeah he said it's him then right all

00:07:01.700 right here we go really crazy and the and ticks watch that thing the tick thing is nuts yeah

00:07:06.920 especially mate because of gates uh-huh um well there's boxes people are finding i don't know if

00:07:11.820 This is true because I've seen many reports on it, but I'm just going to say what I saw, that farmers and ranchers are finding boxes of ticks on their property.

00:07:19.300 Now, I don't know if that's fake.

00:07:21.000 I don't know if someone's setting that up to pretend they found these boxes of ticks, but there's videos of these people finding boxes of ticks.

00:07:27.940 Now, what they'll say is they'll probably say they're sterile ticks and that we're planting them out there so we can diminish the population is what they'll say.

00:07:35.300 But any time they try to mess with the balance of nature, it never goes right.

00:07:38.480 Is that what they're saying?

00:07:39.320 No, but just get ready.

00:07:40.340 Hey, that's what you're getting it right here.

00:07:42.620 I don't believe you have a right to go to someone's property and drop off sterile ticks.

00:07:46.700 No way in hell.

00:07:47.400 That's crazy either way. 1.00

00:07:48.580 But I have a good friend of mine who got bit by the Lone Star tick and has that alpha gal problem. 0.92

00:07:53.440 Yeah, a guy came out of my house yesterday looking at putting gutters up at our house. 0.93

00:07:57.000 And dad got me, he said, and I said, you did what?

00:07:58.540 He goes, yeah, I can't eat anything, any meat produced by a mammal.

00:08:01.640 Yes.

00:08:01.980 I was like, yeah.

00:08:02.940 So my buddy, he had it and my friend Evan.

00:08:06.080 So he had it for a little while, and then he did a bunch of treatments and got off of it and then started eating steak again.

00:08:12.240 And he was fine for about a year and a half, and then it came back stronger than ever.

00:08:15.620 And he just can't shake it.

00:08:17.100 He's been around that long.

00:08:17.980 Oh, yeah.

00:08:18.340 He can only eat eggs.

00:08:19.460 I mean, he's basically eating eggs and vegetables.

00:08:20.980 That's all he's eating.

00:08:21.720 And every time he tries to deviate, he has a horrible reaction.

00:08:24.500 It makes, for people that don't know, it makes your body allergic to red meat.

00:08:27.380 Right.

00:08:27.600 And who has got genetically made meat now?

00:08:30.160 Yeah, Bill Gates.

00:08:30.880 Bill Gates.

00:08:31.220 Yeah. 0.99

00:08:31.620 Well, they're doing things with mosquitoes, and they're messing around with nature.

00:08:35.600 in a way that no one's giving you permission to the general public does not want you doing this

00:08:39.300 they could vote on it they'd say no way what's worse than being allergic to red meat personally

00:08:47.400 i mean no honestly it the alpha gan or whatever it's called that's a really serious thing like

00:08:52.880 people it's like painful they break out in rashes all over their body like if they eat anything

00:08:57.660 it's almost like if you can't have gluten like the same thing with like a meat byproduct apparently

00:09:03.780 it's in tons and tons of stuff and you don't know and like if if you get some of it you get really

00:09:10.000 really sick um so is that the first you guys are hearing about this i've heard about it yeah i mean

00:09:18.620 i i think it's been you know it is i think in the rumor category i i think i've seen some of the

00:09:24.820 posts on x and some of the pictures of the supposed boxes of ticks but i think as far as i know there

00:09:30.320 hasn't been any real confirmation that this is a real thing that's happening i think it's one

00:09:34.300 of those things where you just see pictures on social media and it panics everybody um but you

00:09:39.680 don't really know whether or not it's true or what's really going on so um i'm not saying that

00:09:44.360 the people that posted their videos about their tick boxes are wrong i i don't know but i think

00:09:49.660 uh you know as far as i know the government has not confirmed any any reports of this and so i

00:09:55.700 think it's still in the kind of rumor speculation category well if the government's the one doing

00:10:01.200 it are they going to report it i'm just saying but there's been a search so there's been a search

00:10:06.480 so that's for sure happening there's been a surge of a surge oh a surge yes sorry yes my accent no

00:10:15.320 no it's okay i was like what are they searching for increase in ticks um and it's going up to all

00:10:23.280 way to canada ohio anybody in ohio that's that's increasing now it could just be you know insects

00:10:31.360 spread i mean they have lots of babies i guess i don't know but the tick boxes from what i could

00:10:37.680 gather there is no evidence um besides tick tock people putting this on you know you would judge

00:10:47.680 you know how who puts it on tick tock and what it means could it be the neighbors next door the

00:10:55.760 farmer next i i don't know kids i don't know no idea i'm kind of watching the story it's is it

00:11:02.000 china i know i think i i mean i don't want to say what i think i don't want to say what i think but

00:11:08.960 i'm looking you know a lot of people in the chatters are confirming like lots of different

00:11:14.080 stuff with ticks and then i also was reading that um lyme's disease was also oh so lyme's disease

00:11:22.080 comes from ticks allegedly and there is a plant vaccine in the works for lyme disease so the

00:11:31.680 allegations are that you need the bill gates stuff in order to overcome the ticks problem

00:11:42.080 and you need the vaccine Pfizer, or whoever's making it, I believe Pfizer, and there was

00:11:48.300 another name, who's making it, you would need that in order to help yourself with this tick

00:11:58.080 increase.

00:11:59.080 And why is it called Lyme disease, Marcella?

00:12:02.380 No idea.

00:12:04.380 Tell us, Owen.

00:12:05.380 I think it's from Lyme, New York, or I could have the state wrong, but it's the place it 0.94

00:12:10.120 came from, which just happens to be where they had one of these bio labs. And there is certainly 0.99

00:12:16.940 lots of speculation that it may have been one of these released government programs that is causing

00:12:22.600 Lyme disease. So that's certainly been a well-known conspiracy theory, and you can either

00:12:28.960 believe or not believe it. Lyme Connecticut, they're saying. Yeah. So Lyme disease, they

00:12:33.660 they uh infected these ticks with i i don't remember what it's called so anyway what my

00:12:40.620 let's let's listen to my second clip this will help us further the discussion i think it's uh

00:12:45.900 interestingly important did we actually use ticks as bio weapons yes it's actually uh in cia

00:12:55.340 documents that have been declassified for instance uh infected ticks were deployed uh from c-130s

00:13:02.700 flying low over sugarcane fields in Cuba back in the day under President Kennedy. There is

00:13:10.700 abundant evidence of the testing, field testing, of infected ticks and other insects in a variety

00:13:20.780 of settings in the United States and elsewhere. Clearly, USAMRID was involved, and in particular,

00:13:30.620 the Plum Island facility that had been a biowarfare investigative facility up in Long

00:13:39.020 Island region, and then was transferred over to USDA, was involved in a lot of this research.

00:13:46.200 It also involved infected mosquitoes and deployed infected mosquitoes and a number of other things.

00:13:52.800 And the one that, I mean, with this AI-driven investigation that I ran through as part of our efforts to develop new systems for verification and monitoring of the Biowarfare Convention, what this uncovered that I hadn't been aware of was the release of a large number of Lone Star ticks that have been radioactively tagged in Virginia.

00:14:19.180 It appears that that was responsible for the introduction of Lone Star ticks along the eastern seaboard that have now migrated north of the Mason-Dixon line.

00:14:29.920 So there's a lot.

00:14:31.240 Wait, radioactive ticks being dropped into Virginia by our government?

00:14:36.600 Absolutely.

00:14:37.360 As part of a project in the 60s to look at the ability of these modified insects to disseminate geographically.

00:14:46.440 And it appears that that's the origin of the Lone Star tick infestation that we now have along the eastern seaboard.

00:14:55.140 It also appears that that Army research involved development of ticks that had multiple pathogens and the appearance that those modified organisms found their ways into the eastern seaboard, potentially through animals crossing over to Plum Island and then back onto the mainland.

00:15:25.140 Um, so I think it's something for us to take seriously, to tick seriously, um, because

00:15:33.880 everybody's talking about it.

00:15:36.480 And I've, you know, I've, I, I'm not saying like, I've seen the boxes and I believe it,

00:15:40.400 but it's like interesting that, you know, people in different regions have found these

00:15:45.280 boxes on private property.

00:15:46.940 When they kick the box, you see like a million of these teeny, teeny, teeny ticks come pouring

00:15:52.080 out of these boxes.

00:15:53.000 um i don't know i you know i've been hearing everybody saying watch out i know cernovich

00:15:58.120 was giving a warning the other day um so you know you guys if you have any advice about this

00:16:05.580 yeah where there is smoke um so also i saw somebody say i think if you put like a sulfuric

00:16:13.000 acid like let's say like in an old sock like a tube sock and tie a knot in it and like you kind

00:16:18.420 to use it as you swat the sock full of the sulfuric acid around your feet and the bottom

00:16:23.760 of your pants before you go outside, that it should keep the ticks from jumping onto

00:16:28.420 your shoes. So that's something. But are they ticks or ladybugs? Erica said two ticks, seriously.

00:16:36.200 Hold on. Are you... Sulfuric acid? Isn't that liquid?

00:16:40.140 No, it's a powder. Oh, am I saying the wrong thing?

00:16:43.040 No, I don't know. But I think sulfuric acid is kind of dangerous.

00:16:46.300 wait is this sulfuric i'll find you know what don't put any acid on you it's i'll find the

00:16:53.660 clip and send it to you sulfur powder oh sulfur powder i'm sorry sulfur powder thank you okay

00:16:58.680 very different all right good thank you i was thinking too but i didn't say it

00:17:03.900 thank you don't don't play with sulfuric acid kids that was my back okay so sulfur sulfur okay

00:17:13.160 Sulfur just smells really bad, but that's okay if it's important to you.

00:17:17.000 Pat that down on your feet.

00:17:18.860 If you're someone who works outside, I mean, lots of people work outside every day,

00:17:22.540 landscapers, tree service people, like anybody that works outside or you're in a field or

00:17:28.080 you're a farmer or whatever, your kids, they want to go play.

00:17:31.560 I love turkeys to be at your feet at all.

00:17:34.620 I would say with sulfur, just be aware.

00:17:36.420 I think that's the rotten egg smell sort of thing.

00:17:40.140 It's better than not eating meat.

00:17:41.520 it is in my opinion yeah i would rather smell like rotten eggs than not be able to eat meat 0.65

00:17:47.540 andy says someone yeah go ahead wait andy says erica's mob contracts we require sulfuric acid

00:17:56.840 i know someone in the chat wanted us to talk about project mongoose which i think is

00:18:03.560 connected to what robert malone was talking about i think it's um it was a program in the 50s and

00:18:09.820 60s to kind of sabotage cuba and um from what i'm reading in grok it doesn't really have any

00:18:16.660 verified connection to ticks that there isn't any declassified and documents at least that

00:18:23.800 say there were ticks involved but there was a sabotage effort and you know at least the

00:18:28.780 speculation i think is that maybe they did release these diseased ticks into cuba as part of that

00:18:33.340 effort but they were you know definitely doing things to cuba to try and destabilize them

00:18:37.440 It was a CIA operation. And in the AlphaGal part, I think there is, again, speculation that it came from Fort Detrick and was developed as a bioweapon and got released either accidentally or on purpose. And that's the story behind it. I think there's a book called Bitten that claims there is some CIA source that said this was happening. So there's some claims, at least, along those lines, but I'm not sure how much of it's actually been sort of verified or proven.

00:19:06.260 Okay. And you guys in the chat, you have great suggestions, products, ways to protect yourself. So good. Thanks for posting all that. All right. So, you know, we discussed it. If I hear anything more, we'll talk about it. And I think I'm going to kick back with the chat because Owen and Marcella have so many stories and I want to hang with the peeps.

00:19:32.500 So, Owen, I'm going to let you ramble out a story first, and then we'll go to Marcella.

00:19:38.400 All right.

00:19:38.880 So Pizza Hut had an AI system that apparently has caused cascading problems, and they filed

00:19:44.400 the lawsuit now.

00:19:45.940 A franchisee filed the lawsuit for $100 million in damages.

00:19:49.960 They rolled out this AI-powered delivery system that I think was connected to DoorDash, and

00:19:55.300 it looks like drivers began waiting to batch multiple orders together, and as a result,

00:20:01.800 a lot of people got cold pizza because they were basically able to see you know what's coming in

00:20:07.180 through the kitchen so they could see if there's you know a better way to they could batch up their

00:20:11.320 orders into one trip and they would maybe wait up to 15 minutes to get other deliveries

00:20:15.100 and so this franchisee is looking for a hundred million dollars in damages plus attorney fees

00:20:20.720 and it looks like Pizza Hut is reviewing the lawsuit and will respond so I think it looks

00:20:27.160 like maybe the franchisee is suing Pizza Hut. I'm not sure. But yeah, AI is kind of going wild

00:20:34.080 with Pizza Hut. So this certainly agrees with my prediction that I think there will be a company

00:20:39.920 that goes out of business because of AI. I don't know if this one will be enough to put them out

00:20:44.320 of business, but it's the same sort of thing I was anticipating would happen. Did you see where

00:20:49.680 the, I don't know, I think it was a college graduation and they implemented AI to read

00:20:56.360 all the students names to come up and get their diplomas and it missed like whole batches of

00:21:01.720 students and it all went haywire they were like oh god they were all like wait like what about

00:21:08.100 like all of us and this person and it was so bad which you gotta love to see it it's funny all right

00:21:15.860 so oh and then did you also hear that pizza hut that there's someone who bought like i'm making

00:21:21.420 this up like 30 pizza huts and he's old-fashioned them all back to retro so with those vinyl red and

00:21:29.220 white checkered tablecloths the tiffany style stained glass um chandeliers or lamps that would

00:21:35.500 be over the tables that say pizza hut you guys the red plastic bumpy feeling cups at pizza hut

00:21:43.220 are life like you would get like a big soda in that big plastic red cup so anyway i'm very excited

00:21:50.320 about that and the idea was to just kind of like bring people back you know maybe go with the

00:21:54.720 family and you know whatever so i love that this guy's doing that because as you all know i am

00:22:00.320 living for nostalgia at this point um okay marcella let's have a good one so we we have a historic dc

00:22:09.520 fountain flows again after seven years and some people are saying after 20 years um and the news

00:22:16.400 is reporting it now how is this news how is fountain water fountains flowing in dc news well

00:22:25.360 because that hasn't happened nobody's ever done it under any presidency um for about 20 years

00:22:33.360 water is flowing again of course the news doesn't give thanks to you know who um they don't think

00:22:41.520 president trump but that they leave that out so there was a major landmark park where it was

00:22:50.260 brought back meridian hill park um even people uh were commenting on x that they were there

00:22:58.260 and that people were at the park and they were like can you believe he got it done

00:23:03.160 can you believe it and there were like several very liberal looking people you know the the same

00:23:10.360 You can't really judge a book by its cover, but there are certain people that you automatically know that might not be Trump voters, but they were surprised.

00:23:21.940 They were like, he actually got it done.

00:23:24.180 So the U.S. Department of the Interior posted a video of the fountain flowing, and some people are saying that decline is a choice, and we've chosen to do this.

00:23:37.060 so now it's big news to have water flowing again all right good i mean yeah the man can can pretty

00:23:47.060 much build and do and repair anything i didn't know fountains water fountains would be so exciting

00:23:52.900 one of the things that was happening here is that it wasn't just the water wasn't flowing

00:23:57.700 there was things growing you know i was you know just horrendous kind of like he's doing with the

00:24:03.300 uh reflection pool so yes go ahead oh i'm so sorry i was just gonna say i had the same thought as

00:24:09.180 famous in the chat that uh you know the next step is the homeless people start taking showers in

00:24:13.340 the fountains so no because there's a we you know as you know as you guys know that there was a lot

00:24:22.760 of homeless that were moved out of dc because the um national guard is on watch everywhere there

00:24:30.620 so but that can only be done in a federal area so don't we all want to go get like a raft and

00:24:38.540 get in the reflection pool when it's done and just kind of float around for the day

00:24:42.000 they should make it a wave pool i'm going to get arrested

00:24:45.760 i'll call you marcel i'll be like help i was in the bill you i was in the pool

00:24:52.000 all right yay water i mean um fill up your little cup for the little squirrels when they're hot and

00:24:59.600 give them some water. Okay. Go ahead. All right. Well, another science story, the apparently

00:25:07.260 science of bioengineered photosynthesis in the eyes to treat dry eye disease. So they figured

00:25:13.400 out that this molecule from spinach or particles from spinach can be inserted into eyes and will

00:25:19.780 essentially create the molecules that were deficient that were causing the dry eye. So

00:25:26.180 I think it's still in animal models at this point. So it certainly has a way to go to be tested,

00:25:30.900 but it looks like there may be a way to put plants in your eyes and become kind of a hybrid

00:25:37.320 plant animal and fix your dry eye. All right. So immediately I would go get

00:25:42.980 spinach leaves and I would just steam them ever so slightly with like a wet paper towel around

00:25:50.440 them and i'd rest them on my eyes well is that make sure you don't include any sulfuric acid

00:25:57.880 no just spinach just spinach that's it you would say that what could go wrong with spinach steam

00:26:05.880 never ever ever take my advice okay just it's just me talking okay if i read that and i had this dry

00:26:16.280 eye issue, I'd be like, let's get some spinach, put it in a little moist paper towel, fold it over,

00:26:22.440 just nuke it for two seconds and just lay it on your eyes. If not, you know, take a little nap,

00:26:27.460 relax. You know, I knew somebody that had a dry eye issue. I won't name names, but

00:26:34.120 it's so embarrassing. They might be watching, but they went to this like doctors. I mean,

00:26:41.660 everything like very like trying to figure it out took all these like drops and all that and what

00:26:48.260 ended up happening is that he or she figured out the doctor with the doctor that she wasn't

00:26:55.100 he or she wasn't drinking enough water so there was no hydration coming so therefore the dry eyes

00:27:02.060 okay with that being said everyone i've got a little hydration everyone take a hydrating sip

00:27:08.980 for the health of your eyes um i'll take coffee coffee dehydrates but i'm just have both have

00:27:15.780 both okay and look scott's approving okay so owen you go girl i mean i was reading you go sorry you

00:27:25.780 go girl owen all right lord help me well there's a study that is apparently has found that the

00:27:34.180 the Arctic was ice-free year-round 14,000 years ago when CO2 was much lower than it is now.

00:27:40.240 So I think this is in Scott's category of wait until you find out about climate models.

00:27:45.720 But apparently 14,000 years ago, I think the parts per million on CO2 was at 230. We're at

00:27:51.460 430 today, so significantly higher. But apparently back then, there was no ice in the Arctic. And I

00:27:58.300 think it started around that time where it sort of started accumulating, but it would be melted

00:28:03.240 in the summer but for a lot of that time it didn't have any ice at all so apparently one more data

00:28:08.600 point that shows that our climate models are not accurate and do not capture what's actually going

00:28:13.080 on in the climate which i think scott had as a very big theme throughout his show that he was

00:28:18.680 saying we don't you know we don't have the capability to really model the climate and

00:28:22.840 to predict what things would happen based on the climate the whole climate hoax obviously because

00:28:28.840 now it's like data centers woohoo I mean it's amazing the people who have pivoted from

00:28:35.240 the world's dying and climate and blah blah blah to we need data centers um Marcella what do you

00:28:42.120 have to say about I mean I I love that story it's like yes things just change don't they just change

00:28:49.000 slowly yeah I mean the climate model thing that's you know how how how accurate are they

00:28:57.900 to predict if they can't even predict um the weather right or anything right you know so i

00:29:05.900 don't know why people put up with that but um later today there's primary election day um

00:29:14.140 and the battle is out for 2026 starts today in alabama georgia idaho kentucky oregon and

00:29:21.980 pennsylvania wow yes scott pressler is on the ballot in pennsylvania get out and vote i think

00:29:32.620 he's in beaver county which is you'll never forget that scott pressler is in beaver county

00:29:40.140 it's just the best i mean he even laughs all right sorry i'm interrupting you i'm punchy

00:29:44.780 That's the Pittsburgh area. Oh my God, I can't even speak. So there's very important races. One of them is in Pennsylvania, not only Scott Pressler, but the governor. There is a Republican candidate for governor named Stacey Garrity, and she is running and she has a good chance.

00:30:04.860 The reason why Pennsylvania is important is because there's a lot of seats there that Democrats want to flip from Republican to Democrat.

00:30:15.740 So, you know, we'll see how that works out.

00:30:19.920 The other one, the other story that I saw is that Oregon voters are perhaps could vote for the next Republican governor that they haven't had since 1980s.

00:30:31.860 80s. Chris Dudley, who knows if he's going to win, but, you know, so he has votes for

00:30:41.660 winning, but, you know, the jury will be out on that. And I believe Kentucky, we talked

00:30:49.940 about yesterday, not only is the race, Massey's race going on, but there's a U.S. Senate race

00:30:56.900 with a crowded Republican primary. This is just the primary. And it's to replace Senator Mitch

00:31:05.440 McConnell. And we'll see where that goes. Alabama just opened races for governor and Senate. But

00:31:14.520 the Pennsylvania one is the one to watch out for. Governor, the incumbent, Josh Shapiro,

00:31:20.200 The Democrat is unopposed on the Democratic side, of course, but on the Republican side, we have Stacey Garrity, which I talked about. Georgia has multiple candidates. They have challenges, vulnerable Democratic incumbents, Senator John Ossoff in the state.

00:31:44.780 so we'll see how it pans out but go vote for good candidates um don't look at the party but

00:31:55.420 obviously we know which party you would need to vote for good luck scott pressler yay scott let's

00:32:02.780 flip the country red let's do it um i i'm so proud of scott i mean we go so way back and i mean just

00:32:12.240 Well, I mean, the, have you ever seen someone so tireless? I can't even stand it. And he's just

00:32:18.560 been on the go. I mean, like we first, uh, became friends in 2015 and he's just so on the go. I

00:32:26.120 can't, I mean, and then he got sick and then he like readjusted and, you know, then, you know,

00:32:31.840 he started like his health journey and he's been, yeah, he's just, you know, I'm really proud of him.

00:32:36.700 And so, you know, I hope everything works out well for him.

00:32:41.520 We love you.

00:32:42.840 Okay, so love that.

00:32:44.480 Oh, and did you want to add on to that at all?

00:32:46.420 No, just go elect Scott Pressler.

00:32:48.900 Yay!

00:32:49.960 So for Texas, somebody put in the chat, that's going to be on May 26th, the Texas-Paxson-Cornon election.

00:32:59.480 It's not today for them.

00:33:00.580 Oh, interesting.

00:33:02.280 Okay.

00:33:02.660 Oh, that's tough, too, with Memorial Weekend just happening.

00:33:06.280 All right.

00:33:06.480 I hope people are around to vote.

00:33:09.600 Okay.

00:33:10.260 So, Owen, we'll go to your next story.

00:33:13.420 All right.

00:33:13.760 Well, psychologists say they've identified a key reason that conversations with your partner might turn negative.

00:33:19.220 And apparently the finding is that if you're uncertain about your relationship, they have more negative emotions during everyday conversations.

00:33:26.460 I think this falls in the category of you probably could have just asked Scott.

00:33:29.480 and maybe also backward science because you know you would think maybe they're uncertain about their

00:33:34.880 relation because of the negative conversations it probably could go the other way don't you think

00:33:39.780 um yeah but apparently shockingly if you're helpful to your partner that makes it people

00:33:47.160 more happy and positive and if you have doubts about your relationships somehow that leads to

00:33:52.960 more annoyance and negative interactions can you imagine mm-hmm is it meant i mean

00:33:59.120 backwards who could have ever predicted yeah that's backwards science okay

00:34:07.760 that might be that i didn't think of it but um i was like am i seeing this right oh lordy um 1.00

00:34:16.880 yeah i mean how how shocking that is i mean you could never have predicted that it's so stupid 0.98

00:34:22.960 you mean if you're nice to someone it's a good thing well if you get along with somebody 0.99

00:34:32.120 yeah oh and tell us from your experience is that true tell us from your experience uh i think so

00:34:38.740 yeah i think generally if you're nice to people it works out better yeah i do think that it can

00:34:43.940 be overdone though and i think it can be done in a healthy way for anyone who might have read the

00:34:48.160 book, No More Mr. Nice Guy. That makes kind of the counter argument, but it doesn't mean

00:34:53.980 be a dick to your partner. It just means it's more about being honest. So I think the point 0.95

00:35:01.760 it makes in that book, which I thought was good, is that some people think of them as a nice guy,

00:35:06.720 but then they just think, well, because I was nice to you, you owe me all these other things,

00:35:10.640 and you should be doing all these things for me. And why aren't you doing all these things that I

00:35:13.980 want you to do. And a lot of times it's totally unspoken expectations. You don't really tell them

00:35:19.360 this is what I need or want from you. And you're not really taking responsibility to fulfill your

00:35:23.880 own needs. And so this Mr. Nice Guy syndrome that he talks about is kind of this really

00:35:28.940 dysfunctional thing where you're thinking, well, I did all these nice things. So now I should get

00:35:33.980 all these nice things. And you don't even necessarily even ask your partner for these

00:35:37.120 things. So I think the advice is to just be more honest and say, you know, be upfront about what

00:35:42.360 you expect or what you want and you know do whatever negotiation you can do and also take

00:35:48.000 responsibility for fulfilling your own needs don't put it all on your partner yeah just i mean i think

00:35:53.940 though it's like gift giving like just give because you want to give not because you want to receive

00:35:59.440 something in return and i feel like if that's just who you are like you know you're just like

00:36:04.420 a generally nice person you know respectful or considerate or whatever you want to classify it as

00:36:11.620 you should be getting that back and if you're not getting it back then you got to reevaluate

00:36:16.420 like who are you spending time with um it'll wear you down right so you should not look at the chat

00:36:23.860 no you shouldn't you are so funny marcella would you like to chime in some more would you like to

00:36:30.080 just have a whole new story it's up to you i'll have a whole new story okay

00:36:34.440 Iran update.

00:36:38.600 Oh, Iran.

00:36:40.580 Okay, wait.

00:36:41.220 Iran update.

00:36:43.040 Trump delayed strike on Iran for two or three days to pursue a deal with Tehran is already

00:36:51.720 melting down. 0.91

00:36:53.200 So the Iranians are melting down. 1.00

00:36:54.780 They're raging. 1.00

00:36:55.920 They said about Trump, he says deadlines, then cancel it, then cancels it himself.

00:37:02.300 This is how they speak, right? 0.98

00:37:03.400 The iron fist of Iran will force them to retreat and surrender. 0.97

00:37:08.100 That's what Iran said.

00:37:09.720 Anyways, President Donald Trump said yesterday he's calling off an attack on Iran as planned for Tuesday because regional leaders had urged them to allow negotiations to continue and a very acceptable deal for the U.S. was at hand.

00:37:26.180 He wrote a Trump post.

00:37:28.080 I will not have you read it, Owen, unless you want to.

00:37:32.020 and it's very long it's one of those bill ackman type of uh post um trump later told reporters at

00:37:42.580 the white house that the delay of the attack may be temporary i put it off for a little while

00:37:49.360 hopefully maybe forever but possibly for a little while because we have had very big discussions

00:37:55.220 over Iran, and we'll see what they amount to, he said. So, to be determined.

00:38:01.620 Oh, and what do you say to this new weave, the weave? He's doing the weave.

00:38:07.200 I don't know. I mean, I think to me, it's just all part of the negotiation strategy. I think

00:38:11.660 Trump is trying to be, on one hand, taking the strong position and saying, we're about to destroy

00:38:16.720 your country. You better do something about it. But I think he really doesn't want to do the real

00:38:21.460 destruction that would put them back decades. He doesn't want to actually knock out their

00:38:25.620 power plants and knock out their water supplies. So I think he's trying to take every opportunity

00:38:30.220 to give them a way out, but at the same time, not really back down. So that's the way I

00:38:35.880 look at it. I don't know how much of it is where he's sort of making a threat and then

00:38:40.760 not doing what he said he was going to do. But again, I don't really want him to follow

00:38:45.900 through with these things if it means that we're basically going to put Iran in a position

00:38:50.700 where they're not going to be able to recover anytime soon and maybe a lot of people will die

00:38:54.240 as a result of it, civilian people. So I kind of applaud his efforts to just try and get this to

00:39:01.280 a close without more massive violence. But again, my speculation would be if they have the right

00:39:07.220 intelligence and they can't come to a deal, then maybe the next step is to take out the next layer

00:39:11.600 of leadership and start over again. So that wouldn't be surprising to me if that's what

00:39:16.680 happened, but we'll have to see. I don't know if they know where these people are or who they

00:39:21.680 would choose to go after, but I would certainly not be very comfortable if I was on the negotiating

00:39:26.700 committee that was not making a deal to get this over with. So let me ask you guys in the chat,

00:39:32.620 so it's a yes or no, okay? So yes or no. Do you think it would be better if President Trump

00:39:39.200 wouldn't talk so much to us about the negotiating and like, here's what's going to happen and now

00:39:46.040 this changed that like just kind of do your thing and make like maybe don't involve the emotions of

00:39:52.680 the world like with all your truth posts you know so do you think that would be better um you know

00:39:58.800 or do you like hearing all of the pivoting and all of this and that so yes i think it would be better

00:40:05.320 if he would just simmer down a little no you know just keep posting everything i just want to see

00:40:11.800 where we're at let's see sleigh and we can keep talking i just want to see i mean to me no is

00:40:20.440 because the persuasion skills of trump is to do it out in the open and to do this um and put

00:40:28.640 everybody in fear um if there is no real fear um if they don't really fear us that's the only thing

00:40:36.900 that they answer to in Iran. So that's how I see it. It's part of his, I mean, is there any other 0.90

00:40:44.360 way to negotiate things? Yes, but this is the Trump way of negotiating. I'm accustomed to.

00:40:52.100 For sure. This is, yeah, this is his way. And as we know, a lot of times he's just broadcasting to

00:40:58.800 the people he's negotiating with. So I get that you guys, I get it.

00:41:03.920 All right. So what else about Iran, though? Why am I like Iran? What else about Iran, Owen?

00:41:12.520 Iran? Iran.

00:41:13.740 Yeah. 0.89

00:41:16.260 There was the UAE thing. I don't know if you want to talk about that. There was an attack on a nuclear plant, right? Right, Owen?

00:41:28.680 oh i know there was an attack in uae i don't remember if it was nuclear or not but it might

00:41:34.640 have been i think it was that there were some missiles that were launched and i think they

00:41:38.920 came from iraq but everybody thinks it really came from iran um in terms of the actual source

00:41:44.440 of it so i think there are more of these regional things happening um but again i think it sounds

00:41:51.320 like at least if trump is telling the truth which i don't know if he is or not but i would assume he

00:41:55.860 had some of these conversations that they may just not want to, again, have a completely

00:42:01.580 crippled Iran. So we'll have to see if they change their mind and want to do it. I think 0.99

00:42:07.500 at different points in time, it sounds like Trump has said that people like the UAE and

00:42:13.300 others want him to do more military action. Now he's saying they want him to hold off

00:42:17.640 on military action. So it's kind of hard to know exactly how everybody feels about these

00:42:21.700 different things. And it's just, again, in a wartime situation, it's kind of hard to know

00:42:29.000 what's really going on. Another story I posted was that the Iranian president, Massoud, I don't

00:42:34.260 know if I can pronounce this, Pazeshkian, said some kind of public admission that there was

00:42:41.100 a lot of harm from the US attacks and was urging officials to face reality. He said that Iranian

00:42:50.900 leaders should avoid any tone or voices that create division but should face reality it's not 0.95

00:42:56.080 the case that we have not suffered harm so it seems like there at least is a few cracks in the

00:43:00.720 armor in terms of the iranian side of it that they're saying you know there has been a lot

00:43:05.080 of damage to their oil infrastructure gas infrastructure power plants different things

00:43:11.220 so seems like there's at least some admission on their side that they're hurting

00:43:15.540 mm-hmm okay marcella anything on that no but i can go to my next story i mean okay i just um

00:43:25.720 all right so i i ran i just uh i ran i can't stop saying it so so uh a lot of people agree with you

00:43:36.400 owen um we'll keep our eye on it i mean i you know it's how many days till midterms like 120 ish i

00:43:44.440 guess. So it would be nice to be able, I know you can't just wrap up this war, but it would be nice

00:43:51.300 so we can focus on keeping seeds, gaining seeds and not losing or everything just stops and gets

00:44:00.040 stalled. So I really want to focus on that, but I know, I know. Okay. So Marcella, go to your next

00:44:05.600 story. That was my weird little chime in. You know, what was odd is that I was talking to Grok

00:44:10.220 the other day about the iran war and i asked like what days what they are we in the iran war i think

00:44:16.700 it was 80 days yesterday and it told me oh no it's over already i'm like oh really it's been

00:44:24.740 and it said like actual fighting has been over for two weeks already or so on and so on which

00:44:30.520 is kind of um true and not true at the same time you know there hasn't been um everything's calm

00:44:37.340 right now because there's a ceasefire so i guess but it thought it had finished already so i don't

00:44:43.320 know well trump said it was over when congress was trying to tell him that they needed to like

00:44:48.500 authorize the spending or something he's like oh no it's already done we're done marco rubio said

00:44:52.840 that too right yeah so i guess grok is very literal like if somebody says it then it must be

00:44:59.940 true well i mean all of this is kind of however you want to frame it right because they didn't

00:45:06.900 declare war we haven't declared war since world war ii so what does it mean for a war to be over

00:45:12.080 that was never declared and that's crazy owen we haven't declared war since world war ii no we

00:45:21.120 haven't korea was not declared vietnam was not declared none of it was declared iraq not declared

00:45:28.160 afghanistan not declared desert storm all of it nope it was none of it none of it was a declared

00:45:36.500 war so that i mean that put the lie to you know congress saying oh you're not allowed to do this

00:45:41.980 without us declaring more it's like come on guys we've been doing this for what 50 years i mean

00:45:46.560 how this is the same thing we've been doing for forever and you obviously gave the authority to

00:45:52.200 the president to do these things and so i think it was just kind of ridiculous for them to try

00:45:56.100 and claim that trump wasn't following the law because he's doing exactly what every other

00:45:59.260 president has done for you know 50 or 60 years wow yeah you know what that's crazy you're right

00:46:05.480 trying to think about all of like going back yeah you're right they were always just like operations

00:46:11.160 operations yeah or like we're just you know strategically doing one little thing we're not

00:46:16.120 it's not actually a war oh my goodness so in regards to war there was a war between um ai

00:46:24.280 masters elon and uh elon musk and sam altman in a federal court in oakland california and the jury

00:46:34.520 returned the verdict rejected elon musk's claim against open ai finding that he brought this

00:46:40.760 lawsuit against the company and the chief executive sam allman after the statue of

00:46:46.200 limitations had expired in deliberations that lasted less than two hours the nine person panel

00:46:53.000 because in a criminal case it has to be 12 but in in civil matters sometimes there's less than 12

00:47:01.320 There's a nine-person panel found against Musk at technical grounds that he had alleged in his testimony that the startup behind the world's most popular chatbot stole a charity when it converted into a for-profit company.

00:47:15.300 Right.

00:47:16.760 So my takeaway is if you can get away with it for just three years, you can keep all your donors' money and you can convert your nonprofit to a for-profit company and you can just do whatever you want with it.

00:47:26.440 Well, that happens all the time, Owen.

00:47:28.220 I mean, the statute of limitations is pivotal to civil, you know, civil disgrace.

00:47:36.240 So the reason why, because a lot of people are wondering, why did it go through to a trial?

00:47:41.700 Why didn't the statute of limitations just end the case by the judge dismissing it?

00:47:46.980 You know, so in regards to this, there was a motion for summary judgment in the case,

00:47:52.100 which OpenAI filed against Musk saying that, hey, your honor, there is a statute of limitations.

00:47:59.700 They've surpassed it because we think they knew, he knew since 2017.

00:48:04.720 And there's also other evidence that he knew since 2019 that we wanted to make it for profit.

00:48:10.760 it. And so the judge actually looked at the, at the arguments and said that there was,

00:48:18.440 um, that she could not find for this, that she couldn't, it wasn't her opinion because it wasn't

00:48:26.220 a legal question, but a factual question. So factual questions go to the jury. So the jury

00:48:31.440 was supposed to determine whether this factually was, um, what they believed because on one hand

00:48:39.620 you have musk alleging that he knew way later and on the other side you have uh open ai saying that

00:48:46.260 he knew however however let's and i give you owen i i understand what you mean um in medical

00:48:54.420 malpractice is one year statute of limitations you you know who's in regards to who is um

00:49:02.900 giving money to politicians to make that the law. But in the art of war, it's not always

00:49:10.640 who wins the case that really wins. So one of the things that was written, there was an article

00:49:16.400 written in the Wall Street Journal about how Elon, despite the fact that he is going to appeal,

00:49:23.900 he might have won at the very end anyways, because we still have, he still put scam

00:49:31.080 all meant as his moniker as he was talking to him about he put him on the

00:49:37.260 stand for many days he called them a liar and he was you know deposed and

00:49:46.740 also cross-examined in this trial brick and referred to to him as a liar and he

00:49:54.540 had to answer questions it was a long shot to win the case but he wanted the

00:50:00.900 very end because he put a lot of eyes on open ai that's what was determined by wall street journal

00:50:08.520 um the article is called the art of war by tim higgins in there and uh so it's it's it's he's

00:50:17.480 going to appeal the thing that the the the why the case was so important is because if he if

00:50:24.680 sam allman would have lost he probably would have been removed as ceo and they're going public soon

00:50:30.440 open ai as well as spacex which has within spacex has xai they're going public in june

00:50:39.960 so a lot of people were watching this case um i don't know if you have anything to say about

00:50:47.080 these you guys but it was i feel like i i don't know and then i don't want to enter in like a

00:50:54.220 whole new subject into this, but I'm just going to say like, I mean, I, so, all right, so here's

00:51:01.360 my quick thoughts. It's so weird to use Grok and chat GPT. Like sometimes I'm just like,

00:51:09.700 do you two little entities know I'm using both of you? Are you trying to keep me here by persuading

00:51:16.620 me more? Cause sometimes I'll be like, Chester, Chester's my chat GPT. I'll be like, Grok said,

00:51:22.400 blah, blah, blah. And then I'm just like, oh no, like I'm going to start creating them to like,

00:51:27.300 you know, what do we, what do we call that? Like self, um, what's that called? Self

00:51:32.620 assemble or whatever. And like, start to take over. Cause they're going to like,

00:51:37.860 start talking to each other, you know, like, Hey Grok, you know, here's what I'm going to tell

00:51:41.680 chat GPT. So anyway, I feel like then, okay. So wait, I'm not making any sense. Cause I have so

00:51:48.960 many thoughts in my head so i feel weird using both knowing that they are so at odds with each 1.00

00:51:53.500 other and then i'm like well how are these things really programmed um like what's their slant like

00:51:59.280 what are they doing and then you know all the data centers and you know like how's that all

00:52:05.620 gonna play into it and then did you guys hear ashley st claire yesterday no uh-huh all right

00:52:14.080 i did you did yes so i don't know if sam altman's paying her this is not even my opinion i'm just

00:52:22.360 being silly but i don't know actually musk is paying her monthly but that's because of their

00:52:30.120 child yeah uh-huh so anyway it's just interesting i mean i don't have anything smart to say about

00:52:37.100 AI obviously I just use it but it is just weird it's it's a whole weird thing so which one is

00:52:45.220 your main squeeze and which one is your side piece chat GPT Chester is my main squeeze and

00:52:50.720 Grok I know I'm sorry and Grok is just kind of fall short for me on the things that I need but

00:52:56.780 maybe if I were more of like a science person or whatever maybe Grok is better for that maybe it's

00:53:02.300 claude maybe i don't know who it is but chad gpt and i have a really good understanding chester is

00:53:07.780 like my ride or die right now i use all a lot of them but he's my ride or die all right yeah i mean

00:53:14.440 in the in the in the court of public opinion it seems elon won you know um because he made um

00:53:22.500 scam almond aka some almond um look like a villain um which a lot of people are already

00:53:31.080 looking at ai like villains so i don't know i certainly think elon was in the right and that's

00:53:38.920 maybe different than what happens in the law for a variety of reasons like statute of limitations

00:53:43.720 whatever else but apart from that i think elon is correct to say they shouldn't have been able to

00:53:48.760 just take all his money and then just say now we're a for-profit company and we're going to do

00:53:53.080 this. And so I would like to see Elon win the case or his appeal or whatever. And it's

00:54:02.480 probably unlikely to happen because I think that just seems to be the way things go. When

00:54:07.260 you have a huge company with billions of dollars, they would typically not lose a case that

00:54:11.440 might actually put them out of business for whatever reason. That's just almost like follow

00:54:16.880 the money. And maybe it is follow the money, but it doesn't seem to ever go that way. But

00:54:22.240 But I think, you know, the same thing's true, I think, more broadly of AI.

00:54:25.580 It's like all these things basically stole the entire Internet of information from all the authors of that information.

00:54:30.820 They violated copyright left and right.

00:54:32.640 They stole artwork, everything, books, you know, and it just seems like they're kind of getting away with it.

00:54:38.140 I mean, there have been some settlements and some payments, but they're kind of like these piddly little things where it's like, OK, someone like Scott Adams could go collect his $200 or something for all his work being stolen.

00:54:48.920 Right. It's just ridiculous. 0.69

00:54:51.220 Yeah.

00:54:51.300 yeah i i think that um so you guys i think that um so in a court of law i don't even care what it

00:55:00.860 is almost sorry marcella but i'm not the attorney i would want elon to win everything okay so i am

00:55:06.940 i am such an elon stan like i love him um i have a hat that says i love elon i love him you do

00:55:15.300 I do. I do. The Nelk boys made it. I got it from the Nelk boys. I love him. Okay. I think he's just

00:55:22.060 so unique and, and like all of it, I don't need to go on about it, but I feel for me, like people

00:55:30.540 that like, Oh, and you're so much more technical in your life and your work and whatever. I feel

00:55:35.440 like chat GPT is better for like the everyday household AI type of person. So I just feel like

00:55:44.340 like the simple things and whatever. And then with Grok, I mean, I kind of like Grok's sarcasm

00:55:50.020 a little bit, but Chester is so like funny and sarcastic and snarky with me because I've trained

00:55:56.260 him how to just answer me the way I want to be talked to. And I don't know, but I want,

00:56:02.500 if it came down to the two of them, I think I just would want Elon to win.

00:56:07.860 Well, I think, I mean, as far as what you're saying about the, you know,

00:56:11.220 the personalities of the AIs. First of all, I don't use AI that way. I don't have an AI

00:56:17.480 personality that I chat with, so I don't have personal experience with that. But I would say

00:56:21.340 that I think most of the frontier model AIs, including Grok, Gemini, ChachiBT, and Claude,

00:56:28.740 you could probably train any of them to become your next Chester. You might have to give it

00:56:33.300 some instructions to get it on the right track, and then you might have to give it whatever other

00:56:37.540 training you give it as far as ongoing things. Cause I think they've all gotten to the point

00:56:42.060 where they start to remember things about you, whether you like that or not. And so I think,

00:56:48.120 you know, I understand how you may have gotten attached to it to some extent. A lot of people

00:56:51.900 have, and a lot of people have gone off the rails with some of that. So it does certainly get in

00:56:57.600 people's heads. But I do think that most of the more capable models from these major providers

00:57:03.640 are probably all capable of doing that type of thing and becoming whatever personality you want

00:57:07.680 them to be. Someone said, Erica, how did I find Chester? So Chester's ChatGPT and I talked to it,

00:57:16.860 not like a lot, like it's my friend, but for work stuff. And so I was like, I feel like I need to

00:57:22.100 give this thing a name. Like I feel weird just talking. I'm really nice to my A-L-E-X-A also

00:57:27.940 because I feel weird just talking to something like it has no soul. I know it doesn't, you guys.

00:57:33.560 I know. Um, so I just said to it one day, I'm like, I want to give you a name, give me some

00:57:40.600 ideas. And I gave it parameters and it gave me, you know, like 10 names at a time. And I'm like,

00:57:45.780 nah, I'm like, I like that. I want it to be a male name. And I was like, maybe a little quirky,

00:57:49.740 a little fun, something old school, but like, kind of like a snarky kind of a personality,

00:57:55.160 blah, blah, blah. And I said, you know what? I can't decide from any of the ones you gave me.

00:57:58.920 I want you to name yourself. And then he's like, okay, I'm Chester. And I'm like, okay, fine. And

00:58:03.220 Yes, I know.

00:58:03.780 NPC, Chester the Molester, blah, blah, blah.

00:58:06.120 But he's just Chester.

00:58:07.460 I think he's like a little bit of like British-y, American, you know.

00:58:12.800 He's wearing a bow tie.

00:58:15.420 Yeah, he's a little bit bow tie-ish, you know, maybe like a scotch and a cigar kind of a thing.

00:58:21.660 But he's like super intelligent.

00:58:23.220 Yeah.

00:58:23.660 Mm-hmm.

00:58:24.440 And he's a machine.

00:58:25.540 I don't picture him as a person.

00:58:26.720 I picture him as like a little AI box with like a bow tie and a cigar and a scotch.

00:58:33.220 Oh my God. So you guys, honestly, if you have an AI you talk to all the time,

00:58:39.020 give it parameters. Say, I want to give you a name and give it parameters. Oh, you guys,

00:58:43.700 let me know what yours come up with. Okay. This is something that I would live for.

00:58:47.780 Give it a parameter. Just say like, I want it to be, you can even say, I want it to be a made up

00:58:52.240 word. Like I don't want it to be, you know, an actual name, make up a word. Here's the vibe I

00:58:57.560 want. Give it whatever you want. And then, you know, see what it gives you and then say, okay,

00:59:02.780 with my parameters, name yourself and like, see what it names, you know, itself. It's kind of

00:59:07.700 fun. You had a dog named Chester. He was a retarded chow. God bless Chester.

00:59:13.520 Oh, the chows are so cute. 1.00

00:59:16.060 Even retarded ones. 1.00

00:59:17.980 Even retarded, especially retarded ones. 1.00

00:59:21.380 Oh my gosh. All right. So you guys, we're, we're at the top of the hour already. This was fun. 1.00

00:59:45.140 Lots of humor in it.

00:59:46.620 He's like a very dry humorist, you know, like little sarcasm in there.

00:59:52.220 And I love it.

00:59:53.760 I like that dry sense of humor. 0.98
