00:02:57.340 welcome. I am Erica. I am joined today by our beautiful Marcella, our esteemed journalist,

00:03:05.580 co-host attorney um opinionator you know we've got it all and our author are i i mean like author

00:03:18.400 farmer animal all around renaissance man maybe renaissance man and um always up for a good time

00:03:26.960 at the scott adams school jeff callahan happy to be here happy to have you here um okay you guys so

00:03:33.060 so much today and I didn't know which direction to go in, but the one thing I'm going to start

00:03:39.060 with, um, it's not like a fun clip. Although where is my, where's my aggravated cat demanding

00:03:45.880 chicken with a bell? Hmm. I know maybe I'll go find him during this clip, but we have not had 0.90

00:03:52.680 an update on Iran in so long because the AI is going to murder us. Um, conversation's been so

00:04:00.840 loud. So I thought we'd have an update from our favorite Trey Yankst. And we'll do this. And then

00:04:08.260 Marcella, we'll kick it off with you on the other side. But let's take a listen.

00:04:11.580 The Strait of Hormuz are met. But we didn't ask for new talks. Meanwhile, the Iran-backed Houthi

00:04:15.980 rebels reportedly telling the U.S. they do not plan on attacking American and Israeli shipping

00:04:20.160 interests as they ramp up operations against Saudi Arabia. But they're shutting down the

00:04:24.520 Strait over in the Red Sea. So that's not good. All right. So Trey Yankst is live in Tel Aviv

00:04:28.380 with the latest for us. Hey, Trey. Yeah, hey, guys. Good morning. Tension remains high around

00:04:33.180 the Strait of Hormuz as reports indicate multiple explosions were heard there overnight. The

00:04:38.800 Iranians claim they shot down an MQ-1 predator drone belonging to the United States. And we do 1.00

00:04:44.680 know that U.S. forces targeted a number of small Iranian boats that were reportedly trying to steal

00:04:50.540 a U.S. sea drone earlier this week. Vice President J.D. Vance discussed the threat to this shipping

00:04:55.960 lane on Tuesday. Despite the fact that we did accomplish a substantial destruction, not just

00:05:02.560 of their nuclear program, but also of the Iranian conventional military, we've seen the Iranians

00:05:07.600 shooting at commercial shipping, even in the midst of peace negotiations. And I think the

00:05:12.620 president has actually done the responsible thing here, which is to try to ensure that world energy

00:05:17.520 markets, despite Iranian terrorism, continue to get that flow of oil and gas. Iran's Supreme

00:05:23.900 national security council released a statement around the same time saying quote don't get

00:05:27.960 distracted by the u.s. president's mixed signals from no negotiations to we're ready to talk the

00:05:33.080 stakes around oil and the straits have changed damage control won't stop what's coming no talks

00:05:38.100 until iran's conditions are met period with a focus on iran one of the country's largest proxies the

00:05:43.160 houthis in yemen are ramping up their attacks on yemeni government forces and neighboring saudi

00:05:47.760 arabia the saudis intercepted a houthi drone overnight near the holy city of mecca as these

00:05:52.620 attacks expand in range. Now, the key thing to remember here is that the escalation is linked

00:05:57.260 to the situation with Iran, and the Houthis are receiving direct orders and support from the

00:06:01.600 regime in Tehran. So the Saudis are conducting strikes. They have requested U.S. support.

00:06:08.320 President Trump has not granted that yet. But, Larry, let me give you a different perspective

00:06:12.060 on this. Why are the Houthis doing it? Because Iran is paying them cash and offering them

00:06:16.800 material and operational support. But this Iranian escalation is evidence of the pain 0.52

00:06:23.360 that they are going through economically. Axios reports that CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad

00:06:28.760 Cooper convened a meeting of top military commanders from regional countries, including

00:06:32.760 Israel, this week to strengthen security cooperation needed to address the ongoing

00:06:36.840 threats from Iran and its proxies. There are a lot of moving parts right now, but more than six

00:06:41.420 months into this conflict, currently, there is no end in sight. Guys? Hey, Trey, does it seem

00:06:46.400 like leaving the saudis the saudis out to dry they're reaching out now to egypt oh we'll never

00:06:53.340 know okay i mean once again you still feel like why are we even reporting on this i mean

00:07:01.500 you know i i do want to say that when trump was president trump was recently asked about the war

00:07:07.580 he said it'll wrap up after the midterms um you know and i i happen to agree that i'm sure

00:07:15.100 the iranians are like well let's wait out their midterms also because they know this isn't good

00:07:20.500 for trump um so you know they're being strategic as well but uh after all this marcella things do

00:07:28.060 seem a little bit shaky uh what do you say i love how iran tries to do persuasion games with trump

00:07:35.900 the persuader in chief uh because they're they're basically right now what you just showed is like

00:07:41.780 oh we don't want any talks we're not going to have any talks with you we're going to have talks

00:07:48.420 with you until you do what we tell you in the homus straight um or the street anyways 0.98

00:07:56.260 i won't go there but you know it's kind of like a girl saying oh i shouldn't use analogies that's 0.98

00:08:03.220 gonna kill me but it's like a girl saying i won't date you even though nobody's asked her on a date

00:08:08.900 So as you saw at the beginning of the story, they indicated, I don't know which host indicated that U.S. has not asked for new talks and Trump has not said there's new talks, yet they're like, ooh, we're not talking to you.

00:08:25.040 So exactly in that voice. But the issue becomes that they have no, they don't get to decide what we do. We get to decide what we do.

00:08:38.520 You know, so I don't feel any issue that the one of the things that I don't know, the commander, whoever was the naval chief or whatever, whoever showed, I don't recall what the name of the person that showed.

00:08:53.460 And what one thing they failed to mention is that the Houthis are fighting Yemeni, that they're in Yemen, but they're, how would I say, they're separate from the Yemen people. And guess who is supporting Yemen? Saudi Arabia. So that's one of the reasons they're really fighting Saudi Arabia, not just Iran, not just because Iran is giving them, I guess, buku bucks to do this.

00:09:19.340 um so you know it is what it is but there's different interests there and isn't it isn't 0.72

00:09:26.300 it interesting that they are actually attacking mecca so it's like you know it's like divide and

00:09:32.960 conquer the we're sort of trump is sort of dividing the muslim world um in a way so maybe

00:09:40.220 50 chest do you think it sounds like it i mean to attack the holy site is like unheard of at

00:09:49.280 least in it's never happened before right interesting all right so jeff do you have a

00:09:55.040 take on this do you think things are escalating or is trump playing 60 chess well all i know is

00:10:03.900 a couple weeks ago i don't know if this is accurate or not i don't think it was but uh

00:10:08.360 there was an image that was circulating of basically us creating another waterway

00:10:14.100 underneath the cutting through the tip yeah yeah cutting through the tip of of uh the area around

00:10:21.540 the straight of four movies and it just the tip uh and only the tip uh and it was like man that's

00:10:27.480 the perfect idea like that's the perfect idea to shake up the box because uh as we've heard scott

00:10:32.680 say uh over many many years is is trump's really good at shaking the box um and i know somewhat

00:10:40.220 recently uh he had said something to the effect of hey we're not going to be doing uh much more

00:10:47.420 militarily we're going to strangle them economically and here's you know what we're going to do and and

00:10:53.560 it's like you have to change the paradigm of how you're approaching the the iranian regime because

00:10:59.560 the every time we've had talks we talk we we tentatively agree on the framework of of the

00:11:07.860 plan and then some dude with a rocket launcher like goes off and pops off like it's fireworks

00:11:14.020 uh you know in the fourth of july or something like that and and you can't you can't have

00:11:18.980 negotiations with an adversary that doesn't seem to play by any rule uh yeah and like and probably

00:11:27.120 and admittedly i'm not as well versed on this uh but from what i understand there are several

00:11:32.760 factions inside iran you might be negotiating with one faction and then another faction who

00:11:38.300 doesn't care anything about who's negotiating what they're just like i'm gonna start shooting

00:11:42.500 a shift because it's fun uh and then there's israel by the way like you don't know you have

00:11:46.780 to have everybody stay everybody stay calm like here's the plan it's a fight yeah trump gets

00:11:52.700 everyone to like stop hitting each other for a second and then somebody like smacks the other

00:11:56.980 person or slaps the other person it's like what are you gonna do with that you just have to wash

00:12:00.440 your at some point you have to wash your hands of it and say look we've we've eliminated the

00:12:05.420 nuclear threat where uh you want you really want to go in and get that nuclear material for sure

00:12:09.820 uh but then you you want you want to start digging you want to start digging so that you can just be

00:12:15.180 like hey i actually don't care anything about the straight the straight is immaterial to me like

00:12:19.000 build a railway build a channel something like build it and then just route your stuff through

00:12:25.540 through the bridge build a trail and butterfly bridge a giant bridge california could build that

00:12:32.040 speed rail for them um i'm sure they can take the money though what do you think about what

00:12:38.440 jeff's saying marcella do you think um i don't know i it is hard i mean you could even think

00:12:45.160 about like a fight with your siblings right where it's like everybody calm down and then one person

00:12:49.760 just pops off and like your mom's got to freak out to be like you know everyone's just be quiet

00:12:54.800 but you can't it's hard to make everyone you know in concert to do it it would be impossible to do

00:13:01.740 that especially in the middle east but i think what we're looking for what the united states is

00:13:07.020 looking for is you know to control the regime which we don't have control over yeah you know

00:13:13.700 so basically to either have a pro-us regime or to put in our own guy or our own girl um i'm for it

00:13:24.460 uh and if i can ask president trump we do need a change to the name straight of her moose we need

00:13:32.660 to call it maybe straight of america or whatever other name because it always messes me up when i

00:13:38.740 when oh all right just just for me just for me you know straight of marcella yeah i like it

00:13:45.160 so it is so it shall be it shall be straight of america we called it oh my god that won't

00:13:52.300 piss anyone off not a problem um all right so you know again you guys that's that's the latest

00:13:58.940 and um there's and keep an eye on israel because they're having elections soon

00:14:04.420 oh can we discuss that for a second sure i mean uh just the bare minimum so is what is it like

00:14:13.500 mid-october i believe so i think i would have to um confirm it with my is this where baby's

00:14:21.920 on the ballot well you know they would have to elect his party would have to elect him again

00:14:27.860 um because he's prime minister so yeah it would be either he goes there is another person that

00:14:35.180 wants to that is leading um and he was over the the defense forces of you know of israel but he

00:14:46.140 does disagree with the way bb like i know him you know bb is doing things uh so if if there's another

00:14:56.300 power structure that gets there it it might change the equation on everything so we'll see

00:15:04.940 what what happens i think we need to watch too because this is me off the cuff here you guys 0.82

00:15:12.620 because I wasn't planning on discussing this, but, you know, Bibi could be in a lot of trouble

00:15:17.980 and potentially. All right. He could be in a lot of trouble. Yeah. He's got issues that he could

00:15:26.440 face. So, you know, some people believe that these wars are dragging out because he's trying to

00:15:31.160 avoid perhaps jail. So, you know, hopefully we won't have to escalate things to delay the

00:15:40.500 elections. And I do think the Israeli people, they need their voices heard. And Bibi was

00:15:48.140 on his way out before this all started. So it'll be interesting to see if the mind

00:15:54.780 process of the Israeli people, the Jewish people changes now. If they're like, okay, 0.99

00:16:00.520 we're in a couple of wars now, and he's helping negotiate with the United States to keep us safer,

00:16:06.960 like let's keep him around and keep him in power. Or if they go back to why they didn't like him and

00:16:13.440 trust him any longer to begin with, and they want someone new in power. So it's going to be

00:16:18.080 interesting to see how this shakes out. So either look for an escalation, perhaps due to Israel 0.81

00:16:26.760 escalating things, which I, God, I hope not because, you know, again, we also have our

00:16:31.580 midterms. And we also need this to stop. And the reason why it's affecting so many people here is

00:16:38.140 these wars. I mean, have you guys seen the price of diesel? I saw in California, it was like $8.49.

00:16:45.300 So when you're like, oh, I'll pay more at the pump. Okay. But what you have to understand is

00:16:50.120 diesel is how everything gets delivered to us. Okay. So all of the trucks and shipping and

00:16:56.340 everything rely on diesel. So imagine your car was $8.49 a gallon. You would not be saying I'll

00:17:03.500 pay more at the pump at $8.49 a gallon. Now for, I can tell you for me, I own a business and my

00:17:09.260 entire business runs on diesel. So my cost of doing business now has just like doubled and then

00:17:19.420 some. Okay. You can't put it all on the customer either. You can't be like, well now. Right. I

00:17:25.120 can't double my customer's price. I will double my attorney fees for sure. But of course,

00:17:31.960 you don't want to double your fees. So when you're wondering why the things that you buy

00:17:37.560 every day are so expensive, it's because the people bringing it to you have now some doubled

00:17:43.240 and some tripled prices. So this is the problem. And the reason I was listening to an economist,

00:17:49.800 the reason that oil hasn't gone up in price compared to diesel is that oil we've like we

00:17:56.520 have our own oil there's oil in benzo there's little different places that we're getting it

00:18:01.640 from yeah but diesel certain diesel pro certain ways of making diesel product comes from iran

00:18:11.240 and comes from certain places in the strait of hormuz is needed in order to transport all of that

00:18:17.400 and that's the one of the main things that that is that is being very much affected yeah so all of

00:18:23.960 your like um your farmers your manufacturing people anyone driving a truck right jeff is that

00:18:32.840 yeah like i have friends that that are in agriculture out here and and like they'll just

00:18:37.320 tell me like oh my god you know it's it's it's crazy because you fill up your car maybe you got

00:18:42.760 a 12 gallon tank or 24 gallon tank like uh let me tell you the the people who are filling up

00:18:47.800 with diesel their tanks are bigger much much bigger and so like that like that cost is just

00:18:54.200 uh it is one of the things that it doesn't matter what side of the political aisle you happen to be

00:18:59.880 on if it's if it's really expensive and your monthly cost just doubles over over a month like

00:19:06.840 Like, yeah, that's that's a really tough thing.

00:19:10.600 And it's and it's a tough thing for especially at this point going into the midterm.

00:19:14.800 It's like, man, we like the old wrap it up box and people would speak too long at the

00:19:18.460 Oscars.

00:19:18.860 Like people like we're tapping the wrap it up box.

00:19:21.960 Like, let's let's wrap it up this thing as much as we can and do what we can to alleviate

00:19:27.680 prices on your middle class people in America.

00:19:31.940 Yeah, I mean, it's insanity.

00:19:34.060 The prices that things have gone up.

00:19:35.780 i mean i i understand why it's happening but like okay or you know if you know the other thing is

00:19:42.020 if we can't resolve the war because iran is crazy and then figure out another way to let's build a

00:19:48.180 bridge or let's let's create let's get the diesel out of somewhere else you know that's one thing

00:19:53.060 that that trump always has indicated and i loved about him is that he doesn't want all the control

00:19:59.460 all the oil to come from one area of the world, which has never been stable ever. So let's look

00:20:06.880 to technology. Let's look to other places where we can get this from and maybe destroy their

00:20:14.160 control and their only leverage on the world. Yeah. I know because back in the day, somebody

00:20:21.200 mentioned it here, but yes, back in the day, if you had a diesel vehicle, you were paying so much

00:20:26.960 less than people buying regular gas. It was like, you know, you were, you were, uh, like sucker to 0.96

00:20:33.120 the people with the cars. Now we're like, Oh my God. Uh, but you know, all of our industries run 0.93

00:20:38.800 on diesel. So, you know, that's where we're at. So anyway, good talk. Good talk. Let's see how

00:20:44.380 the, let's keep our eye on the elections in Israel and see what happens. But, um, Oh, EJ look at you

00:20:50.360 with that big smile on your face. Okay. So you guys, I found such an interesting periscope of

00:20:57.880 Scott. It's so evergreen. So it's not too long. I don't remember. I think it's like nine or 10

00:21:05.580 minutes. Okay. This is from back in the day, but oh my goodness gracious. So I want you to think

00:21:10.700 about the AI catastrophe happening, catastrophe. And I want you to listen to Scott and he's so,

00:21:20.220 i was saying to jeff before the show like his clips are just somehow so evergreen it's amazing

00:21:25.580 so let's kick back grab your cups and uh we'll see you in about nine or ten minutes okay

00:21:32.020 and i'm gonna oh and you guys if if we're still on view let's just turn off our cameras so they

00:21:38.140 can just see scott okay here we go i'll give you a climate science hypothesis you've never heard

00:21:43.460 before. And I will sell this to you with at least as much certainty as any of the other

00:21:53.360 hypotheses, which means not very good. All right, here we go. You know, regular readers of my blog

00:22:02.780 and followers of my Periscope, that I sometimes talk about philosopher Nick Bostrom's idea that

00:22:09.740 we are a computer simulation, literally just a software simulated world created by some

00:22:16.960 civilization of, let's say, humans who learned how to make simulations, and they made characters

00:22:23.260 who live their lives in the simulation believing they are real. The reason this is compelling

00:22:29.700 is that for every civilization that learns how to make a simulated world that believes it's real,

00:22:39.740 And our civilization is right there.

00:22:42.320 You know, we're right on the cusp of being able to create a simulated world where the characters act and think and believe that they're real.

00:22:49.660 I'm sure we'll do that in my lifetime at least.

00:22:53.460 So if that's the case, then here's the fun part.

00:22:58.220 I have teased in the past that you could determine whether we live in a simulated world or a real one,

00:23:06.820 whether we're an original species that just evolved in the normal organic way,

00:23:11.980 or we're one of the what could be infinite copies that are simulations,

00:23:17.020 that there actually is a way to tell.

00:23:18.420 So you would look for ways that a programmer would program this world for the tells.

00:23:25.480 You know, you'd look for the little, you know, hidden tags and the seams and the seams in the reality,

00:23:33.080 metaphorically speaking, seams.

00:23:34.960 now some of the things you look for is that you can never find what what your world is made of

00:23:41.800 like like what's the stuff you're made of because if you're simulated you're not made of anything

00:23:45.940 real right and sure enough when physicists burrow down into the tiniest little things

00:23:51.380 all you get is probability you know we're not really made of anything we're not made of anything

00:23:56.960 where there's just probability and you know waves and particles may be there but only until you look

00:24:02.380 The other thing you'd look for is that for resource constraint reasons, you would not create a simulated world with a real history because it would be infinite and take up all your computing resources.

00:24:16.020 Instead, what you do is create creatures that have cognitive dissonance on a regular basis so that as they discover things in the present that require a history to understand them, one of the history is created when needed.

00:24:30.140 So in other words, if we're simulated, history is created on demand.

00:24:35.500 And it turns out that the physicists have determined that's actually what happens.

00:24:40.420 The reality doesn't really exist until somebody observes it.

00:24:43.740 In other words, our history, we already know this.

00:24:48.040 It's proven.

00:24:48.580 The physicists can demonstrate that it's not until the observation that you know what was happening in the past.

00:24:55.500 All right. So those are the first first little clues that were more likely.

00:25:00.640 Oh, and the other clue would be you would also create your simulation so you couldn't get out of it.

00:25:05.720 And right now we have that constraint in the in the laws of physics because the universe is presumably expanding at the speed of light because the light itself becomes part of the universe that's expanding.

00:25:20.560 So you can't ever get to the edge of the universe because it's already moving at the speed of light.

00:25:25.500 and a rule of physics is that you can't move faster than the speed of light.

00:25:29.680 So you can never get to the edge to look back on it and say,

00:25:33.080 okay, now that I'm on the other side, I see that this isn't what I thought it was.

00:25:37.220 All right, now let's talk about climate science.

00:25:39.020 This is where I was going to on this.

00:25:42.800 If we're a simulation, imagine that you're the creator of the simulation

00:25:48.040 and you have a couple of ways to go to create your simulation.

00:25:53.780 You're first going to make sure that you create a world that is compatible with the life of the creatures you're putting in the simulation.

00:26:01.380 So far, so good.

00:26:02.880 Now, that doesn't prove anything, because evolution, as we understand it, would get us to the same place.

00:26:10.680 But if we were evolved to this place, and we just got lucky that we happened to be the one thing that was evolving in a place where the conditions were right,

00:26:22.940 But of course, there's a survivor bias, right?

00:26:24.980 The only people who get to ask the questions, like me,

00:26:28.120 are the people who evolved in a lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky way

00:26:32.440 where all the conditions and physics were just right for me to survive.

00:26:36.840 But, you know, chances are that would happen to somebody,

00:26:39.800 maybe more than some.

00:26:43.060 So just the fact that we exist in this perfectly balanced environment,

00:26:48.900 that's not enough to tell you we're simulated or real

00:26:51.220 Because we could get there either way. But here's the dangerous idea. And by the way, I'm totally cognizant of the fact that somebody is going to take this out of context and further destroy my reputation as a crazy person.

00:27:11.200 But here's the idea. If we're a simulation and you're the programmer and it's your job to build the simulation, would you build a world in which the simulations, the creatures that you put in it, could be all destroyed by the world just going to hell?

00:27:30.440 you know like the sun exploding for example would you build a simulation in which the sun could

00:27:38.140 explode and just wipe out all of your creatures would you build a simulation where you know they

00:27:44.780 had a good run for a couple hundred years on the earth and then the earth the ecosystem just all

00:27:49.720 went to hell and it killed everybody would you build that simulation as a programmer you probably

00:27:55.060 wouldn't, because it'd be so much work to make this thing that, you know, just kills all its 0.58

00:28:00.780 creatures. What would be the point of that? If we're a software simulation, I think more likely

00:28:07.460 than not, no guarantees to this, but more likely than not, one of the tells, and not a confirmation

00:28:13.820 by itself, just something you'd see as part of your total evidence, one of the tells would be

00:28:19.900 a self-correcting environment, right? Think about this. Well, I'll just put the question to you.

00:28:25.820 Let's say you're the creator of the simulation. You have all the skills to create a world which

00:28:31.300 is stable, and then you're going to put creatures in it, and they're going to involve and interact

00:28:36.380 and stuff. Would you as a creator, and this is an actual question, so answer this question.

00:28:42.220 If you were that creator, would you build into it the ability for the natural environment

00:28:47.660 to just sort of go haywire and kill all the people?

00:28:51.500 Or would you make sure that's the one thing that didn't happen?

00:28:54.580 You just build into your code.

00:28:55.900 Well, if things get out of balance, rebalance them.

00:29:00.880 Because things are always getting out of balance, right?

00:29:03.500 The atmosphere is always getting out of balance.

00:29:06.820 So wouldn't you add in a little bit of code that says,

00:29:09.920 check the balance once in a while.

00:29:12.200 If you're getting out of balance in this way,

00:29:14.320 maybe you need to add a little over here,

00:29:16.020 subtract a little over here. I was thinking about this because I just saw an article somebody sent

00:29:21.040 me that those those big gigantic continents of plastic that we think is floating in the ocean

00:29:30.260 are maybe one-tenth or one-hundredth what it should be. I don't know how they determine what

00:29:37.520 it should be so I guess there's some credibility question there but apparently we thought the

00:29:42.920 The oceans were just filled with miles and miles and gigantic plastic floating garbage things.

00:29:54.000 And there's some of that, too much, but not nearly as much as we thought.

00:29:58.540 And part of the reason that people are thinking it's not what we thought is apparently some microbes, this is not confirmed, but apparently some microbes have evolved to eat the plastic.

00:30:12.200 Now, is it a, yeah, like the BP spill, good example, right?

00:30:17.040 The BP spill was supposed to be, you know, a scale of 1 to 10.

00:30:20.540 It was supposed to be a 10.

00:30:22.080 If you look back at it 100 years from now, you'd say, well, in the big scheme of things, it was closer to a 1.

00:30:29.440 You know, I mean, it was terrible while it happened, but in the scheme of things, it didn't last very long.

00:30:34.720 And nature corrected.

00:30:36.920 The microbes adapted so quickly that they just fixed it.

00:30:41.320 Likewise, I saw an article today that said one possible problem with the climate models, and everybody has heard this before, that when you increase the CO2, you're also increasing the vegetation because CO2 is a good fertilizer.

00:30:57.120 And so it's a natural rebalancing mechanism that CO2 makes it hotter, but it also makes more plants.

00:31:05.520 and there's not enough to necessarily compensate

00:31:09.700 but you can see that there's two different variables

00:31:13.640 that interact to balance each other out. Now probably

00:31:17.260 there are all kinds of those variables all through our environment.

00:31:21.120 So the tell for being a simulated world, no guarantees

00:31:25.300 just feel like that's what it was

00:31:30.040 is if you saw the world, our environment

00:31:33.760 continually adapting to keep us alive in ways that we didn't anticipate

00:31:39.780 okay I'm obsessed with that clip because it's so what's happening today between you know you know

00:31:52.560 like saying like David Sachs saying to um oh my god what's his name Dario you know if you're

00:32:00.280 creating something that's so dangerous, either stop or get out of the way and let someone else

00:32:05.560 take over. And I don't know. I just love that. Like, would you create something that's going

00:32:11.520 to destroy everything? No. So this is where we could go into the hoax of it all. And I have

00:32:18.420 clips about that too. But Jeff, I mean, you listen to Scott, like he's just, he's so thoughtful all

00:32:25.420 the time and um do you see the correlation to what's happening now yeah i i look at uh it's

00:32:32.820 funny whenever scott talks about the simulation i i always think about like when you see two people

00:32:37.560 that sort of look alike and i'm like oh that's just the simulation having to reuse a face

00:32:41.940 you know they couldn't have infinite faces there's just no way um but i and it's been really

00:32:49.240 interesting to watch the past week or so how like all the scott would say the usual players come out

00:32:54.320 the woodwork to say oh you know hey ai is gonna do this and ai is gonna do that and it's like look

00:32:59.280 the the story of history is the civilization that builds the the best technology the fastest wins

00:33:10.600 that's always been the case it's never not been the case uh we we wouldn't we wouldn't hear about

00:33:16.700 civilizations that they started to build spears and they were like oh you know what i don't know

00:33:21.500 these spears are really too powerful. Maybe let's not do this.

00:33:23.980 And so they stopped building the spears, right?

00:33:26.140 They got wiped out long ago. Right. And so the only way out is through,

00:33:31.260 we, we need to keep building and keep building and keep building fast and fast

00:33:35.420 and fast because we don't want to be in a position where one of our adversaries,

00:33:40.180 probably China, uh, builds an AI that quote unquote wins. Right.

00:33:45.540 Because we, uh,

00:33:47.080 because they successfully psyopped us into protesting against data centers and

00:33:51.220 all this stuff that's not good and i selfishly want more more compute because i think it's going

00:33:58.100 to lead to massive breakthroughs in in health and things like cancer and things like that like

00:34:03.300 we have to keep going we have to keep going and we have to go faster that's what i think

00:34:08.580 okay so marcella do you mind if i play a clip first and then have you react um it is jensen

00:34:16.100 And Huang, I love saying his name, but Sandy had sent this to me today saying like, oh

00:34:22.920 my God, this is so Scott coded and it fits perfectly with what Scott just said.

00:34:27.280 And then I'll have you react.

00:34:28.280 Let's take a listen.

00:34:29.480 We have been seeing an incredible debate for the last day on pacing and safety and the

00:34:36.260 future of these models.

00:34:38.240 You've had some time to think about what everybody is saying and kind of bring it all down to

00:34:43.000 us and explain, you know, how do you see that?

00:34:45.160 Well, safety is paramount.

00:34:47.860 In a lot of ways, it's job one.

00:34:50.340 However, safety is an engineering problem.

00:34:53.240 We're developing software after all.

00:34:54.700 We're developing computing systems after all.

00:34:56.580 It's a complicated computing system,

00:34:58.680 but it's ultimately a computing system.

00:35:00.180 And so the first thing is to make sure

00:35:02.280 that we create the test environments

00:35:05.940 for testing these complex systems.

00:35:08.380 And those test environments have to be built in a good way,

00:35:11.220 built in a safe way.

00:35:12.380 And then the second thing is we have to test these products.

00:35:15.160 If we're not confident about the safety of the products, like all companies, like you and I, any company, all the companies here, if you build a product or a service and you're not confident in its functionality, capability, or safety, then don't release it.

00:35:32.660 And so that's a very obvious thing to do.

00:35:34.740 You pace yourself until you are confident you're releasing something that the market would appreciate.

00:35:41.360 The market forces are already there.

00:35:43.100 We don't need any new laws.

00:35:44.320 We don't need new regulations.

00:35:46.720 We just need companies to decide that when it's,

00:35:51.000 you know, run as fast as they can,

00:35:52.700 I think innovation speed and safe products are not,

00:35:57.640 it's a false choice.

00:35:59.240 You could definitely have both at the same time.

00:36:01.340 So run as fast as you can,

00:36:03.040 but if you feel at any given point in time,

00:36:05.200 the company's out of control

00:36:06.280 or the product's not gonna be safe, you know,

00:36:09.040 take a pause and make sure you get it right.

00:36:11.240 pivot um so yeah pacing right marcella um i think it's a really uh duh idea just to remind these

00:36:22.860 people creating these products hey pace yourself if it's getting wacky don't release that part of

00:36:28.600 it you know pivot change you know so scott coded yes yes but also he he makes a good point too

00:36:38.960 that you know it it would be a scott point like he was thinking like scott would have thought

00:36:44.500 um it's a false choice why do we have to choose a or b well it's it's like they're um they're uh 0.80

00:36:54.480 they're making us think past the sale um the these like oh we're gonna get destroyed by by ai and

00:37:02.040 then the other side's like no you're not and so he's like no don't think past the sale that they're

00:37:07.420 trying to sell you realize you don't really it's you don't have to choose that um i mean

00:37:15.140 again i'm using analogies but like if you're building a car or if you're building anything

00:37:21.040 you're gonna test it you're going to nobody's like saying you can't do these things but if

00:37:26.780 you're gonna put it out in the world you're gonna figure out that there's certain things that

00:37:33.100 you know that it's safe where there are certain uh parameters he knows more than we do about

00:37:39.900 these things but he thinks it's where it's possible to find a safe medium you know um

00:37:47.020 I think what Dario's point gosh I'm making Dario's points um what Dario's point is and I think uh

00:37:54.780 some ovens point is that AI is such a technology, that maybe you think it's safe to release, but in

00:38:04.460 the wrong hands, it could be misused. And you don't know what you don't know until you know it

00:38:11.260 kind of thing. But that's, that's everything in this world, you know, the how many things are

00:38:17.180 like that, you know, like, how safe do you want it to be? So I don't know.

00:38:23.500 I know. It's a new industry. Did you want to say something, Jeff?

00:38:27.200 Well, I was just thinking in terms of any time there is fear around something, could be climate change, could be AI. Fear, as Scott has taught us, is one of the most powerful persuasion levers. And if someone is in a state of fear, they are unable to think critically.

00:38:52.080 and so when i see fear being drummed up around anything i usually take a step back and say well

00:38:58.620 who wants me to be afraid and why exactly uh and the more they they sort of pump the fear talks

00:39:04.980 and into the populace and let's be honest the the half of the the country that that has a harder

00:39:12.240 time with critical thinking they're going to be a lot more susceptible to it right uh and so it's

00:39:17.440 always worth taking pause be like why why do they want want me to to be afraid and what is their

00:39:21.800 end game uh and as soon as you start asking those questions and you're like oh well now i can

00:39:25.960 question every other assumption that's around that because it's like i don't actually have to

00:39:29.220 be afraid scott's law of slow moving disasters tells me that probably we're going to figure out

00:39:34.360 a way to do ai and do it safely um you know i was just reading something where they had uh one of

00:39:41.880 new models play minecraft and the model got depressed it was like like the future is just

00:39:48.000 going to be sad terminators who are berating themselves because they couldn't play minecraft

00:39:51.300 correctly it's like look there's going to be a lot of avenues where we can control ai it's going

00:39:55.620 to be like irobot except a bunch of mopey mopey robots oh great nobody wants a mopey robot

00:40:03.000 uh um all right so i agree i like yesterday i was referring to it as fear porn um and a lot

00:40:10.880 of people can't get enough of it either because they, you know, again, it's like you want to

00:40:14.560 wallow in the bad stuff and you want to believe the doomsday stuff. And believe me, we all get

00:40:20.380 caught in it. It depends what the topic is, like what you're more susceptible to, but it is true.

00:40:25.160 I mean, follow the money, follow who's saying it, follow who would benefit from you being afraid,

00:40:31.360 um critical thinking so uh no one was better at teaching us about hoaxes than scott i mean he

00:40:40.960 literally is the master of it and thank god he has put put that into us so hard that i think

00:40:49.280 majority of us now sorry like call it a conspiracy theory but we are just we smell it right away yeah

00:40:55.120 we, you know, we're just like, no, everything is not as it is. So, but no better student of

00:41:01.900 Scott's than Greg Gutfeld. I mean, that is for sure. And I mean, I was a fan of Greg's before

00:41:07.940 I knew Scott and then Greg and I both found Scott at the same time. And it only made Greg that much

00:41:14.820 more impactful. So I have a clip of Greg and I think he puts it in the perfect Scott Adams way.

00:41:21.600 So let's take a listen.

00:41:23.500 This should anger you.

00:41:25.300 There's no verifiable demonstration of data.

00:41:28.240 If there was, they would resign.

00:41:30.280 It's all choreographed.

00:41:31.740 The CEO essay followed by the so-called whistleblower.

00:41:35.120 Then the national media lines up segments.

00:41:37.700 You have Obama and Kamala posting nearly identical tweets.

00:41:42.460 You have the Netflix movie that comes out.

00:41:44.780 It's a laundered narrative.

00:41:46.640 You can see it.

00:41:47.620 Synchronized language, synchronized timing.

00:41:50.500 all the players are so amateurish and the reason why anthropic did it is to freeze uh the ai race 0.86

00:41:58.780 at the moment they're ahead that's all they want because they know there's trouble ahead in the 0.90

00:42:03.500 future and a coordinated slowdown will stretch the life of the models they have out now that

00:42:09.280 are already deployed they could build up inventory and they won't go under in case the okay so it

00:42:16.180 went on from there, but that's the gist. And I think he's dead on with this. And, you know,

00:42:22.120 if you can, if you need to replay listening to Greg saying that, just do that to train yourself

00:42:28.640 and, you know, just to show. So, all right. So I have one more clip I'm going to play and then

00:42:34.120 we're going to discuss, but this is going to fall into two categories. One, I had to see it. So now

00:42:39.320 you have to see it. It's one of those clips. However, I put a sprinkle of Scott Bessent on

00:42:44.880 it to make it all better. So it kind of evens itself out. But Greg is right. Obama did come

00:42:51.340 out. Obama did come out and basically scripted all the Democrats to start pushing this narrative.

00:42:58.940 And they are. And here is Maxine Waters being Maxine to our beloved Scott Bessent. Let's take

00:43:08.800 a listen. Did you hear about Anthropic? Did you hear about Amodei? They all said, stop it. Watch

00:43:15.860 it. AI is dangerous. You got to be careful. Did you hear any of that? Yes or no? Did you hear

00:43:23.880 any of that? Yes or no? Reclaiming my time. Reclaiming my time. Did you hear what your

00:43:31.440 friends had to say? What the big billionaires had to say? Did you understand that they said

00:43:37.180 we're moving into a dangerous period of time we need to watch it we need to slow down did you hear

00:43:42.940 that this administration has been at the forefront of examining the models we began model examination

00:43:49.100 they are more than five or six your friends said watch it be careful that we're moving into a

00:43:56.700 dangerous time on ai and if you don't admit that it means that you're not willing to stand up to

00:44:02.920 the truth because you heard it you know they're saying it these are the guys that you all work

00:44:07.760 with these are the guys that you have to be more billionaires and trillionaires so you know what

00:44:12.740 they're saying people want you to give them regulatory you don't have any more time 0.81

00:44:16.300 i would not i would not take her advice on technology personally personally the wig has 0.58

00:44:25.300 spoken all right so what you guys you guys would die if you could see marcella and i when these 0.87

00:44:30.040 clips are playing we're we're back there going we're like mimicking her then she took off her

00:44:36.840 glasses i was like oh no um there is nothing more aggravating for me when someone goes and if you

00:44:44.640 don't admit it that means xyz like oh okay so you're just writing the script now but i mean

00:44:51.720 man little maxine there she took her marching orders from obama and she's like i'm gonna i'm

00:44:56.700 to rail on ai now and the billionaire so marcella just take it away well it's funny she has this

00:45:02.700 question and that she doesn't even let him answer because she doesn't want to hear the answer 0.55

00:45:07.660 she's just there to posture and you know her her 15 minutes or whatever it is to use it all on her

00:45:15.180 own but it's like who listens to maxine um but she is the audience that you know entropic is

00:45:26.300 searching for the, the non AI users that are going to hear the fear, like Jeff said, and

00:45:35.420 not going to critically think, and that's what she's doing because Scott was trying

00:45:40.800 to tell her that we're on top of this.

00:45:43.380 We already knew this before, before Anthropic came out, we're reviewing these models and

00:45:50.800 all those things.

00:45:51.800 want to hear any reason so it's just um i mean she brings in the fun with her hands and her hair and

00:45:59.220 well to be fair like she she it would be difficult for someone born in the 1800s like it would be

00:46:05.560 difficult for that person to understand what ai is you know like she was born in the 1800s you

00:46:11.300 know yeah uh and it wait jeff don't you want mitch mcconnell's take on this uh you know the

00:46:18.940 thing about mitch mcconnell is that he's he's so so old that like we can't understand his language

00:46:24.100 like he speaks some sort of earlier version of english and so we've got to get translators and

00:46:28.200 the rosetta stone and all that kind of stuff i'm a i'm a fan of term limits in congress because good

00:46:34.040 lord just you look around you can like smell the bengay and you're like oh my god oh yeah

00:46:38.560 yeah the senate chamber like oh creepy and when you're talking about ai and technology now and

00:46:45.000 these people were like, you know, listen, no shade, we're all getting older. So, you know,

00:46:50.160 I wouldn't want to have to be talking about AI in Congress and trying to state a case. I don't

00:46:55.020 know enough about it, but like the younger people do. So to be like 900 years old in Congress is

00:47:01.500 not helping us, but go ahead, Jeff. Yeah. And you're right when you say all, all the, like when,

00:47:07.780 when Guffield brought up all the usual players, like all the usual players are doing the usual

00:47:12.540 player things and he actually brought up a really good point that i hadn't considered that deeply

00:47:17.280 which is like yes it would be great to pause when when you are ahead so that you can build out the

00:47:22.600 infrastructure because uh i i don't know what kind of compute is on the back end of these models but

00:47:29.560 my goodness it has to be an insane amount of compute um just maybe a year or so ago jensen

00:47:36.640 And Huang sold something like a billion GPUs, like a billion dollars, like a billion units, I think.

00:47:43.800 I might be making that up.

00:47:44.780 We might need to fact check that.

00:47:45.720 It was some kind of insane amount of just infrastructure to run these models.

00:47:50.800 I think he sold it to OpenAI, if I'm not mistaken.

00:47:54.220 And so just the build out of technology, like I bet all these AI companies would like nothing more than a pause to assert control, number one.

00:48:04.380 But number two, just build out the infrastructure so that they can actually get a handle on the compute that's that's that's needed with this stuff, which is an insane amount of compute.

00:48:15.080 Yeah. OK, so, Marcella, you know, it it's amazing to me that Obama is still giving marching orders to these people and they all are falling in line.

00:48:28.000 I thought, you know, we were done with him. I'm wondering if that is a signal that the DSA section of this party is scaring people and they're falling back to more of the Obama way.

00:48:40.720 I feel like there's something in there where if he's giving marching orders and they're marching that I'm reading into it maybe, but I feel like that's a good sign for the DSA not having so much clout.

00:48:53.680 What do you think? That was a left turn.

00:48:55.860 Well, Obama is not. So the Obama section of the asylum is not the same as the DSA section.

00:49:06.120 Right. On the same page. So I think the Obama section is trying to take control over the DSA section.

00:49:16.840 And Bernie Sanders is like the bridge between, AOC is the bridge between the DSA and the left extremist.

00:49:26.400 That's a good one, Marcella.

00:49:28.400 And left extreme.

00:49:30.100 All right.

00:49:30.560 So Bernie's the bridge from DSA to the establishment.

00:49:35.860 Yeah.

00:49:36.200 And AOC is the establishment to the DSA.

00:49:42.220 There's establishment.

00:49:43.360 then there's crazy a little bit crazier leftist like right Nancy is the establishment establishment

00:49:50.760 then there's Obama and so Clinton is more establishment Obama and then there is the 0.66

00:49:59.200 DSA yes so so it's like three different heads to the to the devil Bill Clinton by the way now

00:50:06.440 would be a Republican just that's just how far left the left went I mean literally yeah I was

00:50:11.740 hosting a space the other day and i refer to myself as a 1996 democrat and i'm like yeah that's

00:50:16.360 about right you know uh but you bring up a really good point which is i i wonder i need to like how

00:50:23.900 much stuff is a psyop maybe all of it right so if china wanted to slow down u.s ai production then

00:50:30.340 what would they do they would co-op the dsa most likely find ways to co-op the dsa i would expect

00:50:35.920 to see a lot of dsa and that wing of the party i would expect them to evolve into a a militant

00:50:42.520 anti anti-technology standpoint uh under the guise of ai is going to kill us all uh so therefore we 0.92

00:50:49.560 should stop building ai meanwhile china is just rubbing their hands together uh like the guy in 0.99

00:50:55.220 in in the yellow suit meme where where they're like yes okay this is exactly what we want because 0.99

00:51:01.140 I think history has proven

00:51:04.540 that people in that sort of

00:51:06.500 DSA sort of camp

00:51:07.720 they're big fans of communism

00:51:10.520 they love that

00:51:11.320 and they probably wouldn't need to be persuaded much

00:51:14.340 to aid and abet communism

00:51:16.220 they can be told directly by China

00:51:18.600 please do this

00:51:20.560 to data centers and they'd be like yes

00:51:21.860 but they wouldn't even need to be

00:51:24.380 told directly like they would take any

00:51:26.500 excuse to fall on the

00:51:28.300 militant Luddite side of

00:51:30.640 the uh equation here so then you'd have the if anyone doesn't know dsa is the democrats

00:51:36.880 socialists of america okay so if we're saying dsa society altogether yes or destroying society

00:51:44.320 altogether um so the dsa then and the crazy so the crazy part of um the democrat party that's where

00:51:52.960 like AOC is. So, and then you have, and Obama's like on the fringe of that going more toward the

00:52:00.400 establishment. He's between establishment and crazy. So now you can have the Obama 0.86

00:52:06.260 fraction fighting with the DSA. So, because if you're so crazy, like the Democrat socialists 0.96

00:52:15.300 of America, you want everything about America to be destroyed. Okay. Now I'm hoping that the 0.98

00:52:21.300 majority of americans don't want that and that's what my belief is i think at the end of the day

00:52:26.540 we want you know we want our liberties our freedoms and just kind of leave us the hell alone

00:52:31.580 so they're determined to say no we're going to abolish everything police law and order let 0.80

00:52:37.120 everyone out of jail uh i guess china is communist so there are heroes and so we'll do whatever they 0.71

00:52:44.560 want and china wants us to lose the ai race okay so this is where it came down to yesterday when 0.77

00:52:50.580 we're saying, why is it so important that we get there? Okay. So we're still putting it all 1.00

00:52:55.920 together, you guys. So I hope it becomes clearer every day because I'm like a newbie. So if a lot

00:53:02.100 of you are like, I'm not a tech girl or a tech guy, that's me. So this is why it's important

00:53:07.800 because there's part of this country, the DSA, that would love to destroy our country just for 0.99

00:53:14.520 shits and giggles, just because. And the Chinese people are like, yeah, great. You're our people. 0.99

00:53:20.140 So if we can put out some fear porn to all of you and maybe pay you for some protests that are quite organized, let's put the fear out there about data centers and AI and we're all going to die if we don't stop it.

00:53:35.220 And like Greg had pointed out the other day, you're putting targets on the backs of people that are creating the AI, like the Luigi Mangione effect.

00:53:44.520 So do we really want that out there?

00:53:47.040 You know, so so now these crazy people could perhaps hunt down the people creating the

00:53:52.160 A.I.

00:53:52.620 It's very dangerous.

00:53:54.080 It's it's a very dangerous trajectory we're on, Marcella.

00:53:57.860 I actually defer from Greg.

00:54:00.960 I think that the target is being put on the Republicans again because the the anthropic

00:54:07.800 open A.I., even Elon came out saying, oh, that's correct.

00:54:11.060 they're kind of I think that it's the Luigi Mangione thing is persuading them to act like

00:54:17.220 oh yeah we need you know we need kind of regulation so all these DSA crazies are going to attack them

00:54:25.200 they're going to attack what is continuing it and in their mind it's the Republicans you know so

00:54:32.220 again we go back to Scott and his prediction that Republicans are going to be hunted and that's

00:54:38.120 basically what they're putting the target on yeah i feel like we've had that target for years now

00:54:42.940 but now it's like look they're they didn't want you to get vaccinated now they want you to get

00:54:49.800 destroyed by ai because they want to control you well we were right on the vaccine so let's see

00:54:55.820 okay jeff final word on this yeah so i just looked up uh this is from global government affairs

00:55:01.840 account on x this is an official x account uh they they found a a bot farm of approximately

00:55:07.460 200 000 accounts uh that were primarily centered on uh sort of anti-data center and anti-ai

00:55:16.900 narratives right and so the these things are being uncovered and and they they suspect that

00:55:23.220 the bot form was sourced uh in in china right and so there there is like can you break that down

00:55:30.020 jeff for people like what's a bot form what does that mean yeah so picture a uh picture a person

00:55:36.580 in a chair at a desk and they have in front of them what looks like a wall of phones

00:55:41.780 so it is a wall of phones it's an actual person uh now they may even be able to do some of that

00:55:47.220 with ai these days potentially uh where it is just a person uh typing out like ai uh anti-data center

00:55:56.020 anti-ai sort of sentiment and injecting it into conversations that are happening on x uh and so

00:56:03.540 what happens is if you get enough of those people then just your average person who could go either

00:56:10.660 way on it if they read enough opinions uh and these likely would not be big accounts but they

00:56:16.820 but they see like oh well it seems like a lot of people are against against data centers maybe i

00:56:20.820 should be against data centers too that opinion was assigned to them by a chinese bot farm i guarantee

00:56:26.820 you 100 certainty there's at least one person probably a lot more uh that has had their opinion

00:56:31.700 assigned to them because of a Chinese bot farm. So these are real things. They are being caught.

00:56:38.000 So there are nation state level actors that are doing things to manipulate U.S. opinion.

00:56:45.060 And so if that's true for a bot farm, what else might they have their hand in?

00:56:50.360 It stands to reason that China would not want to go toe to toe with us militarily. And so

00:56:56.160 they might do opinion warfare uh where where they uh use non-kinetic opinion manipulation

00:57:03.360 to get people to protest their local data center that might go up and like i'm i understand that

00:57:10.920 people probably don't want to live near data centers i think that's that's understandable

00:57:14.440 i think soon we are going to put them in space and it will be a non-issue um but we also can't 0.98

00:57:19.560 lose the ai race to china because that's gonna that's gonna make uh uh for a very sad rest of

00:57:25.680 the century uh and so um the last word i'll say on it i did see the other day where um i think that 0.92

00:57:33.180 they were able to they maybe made a prototype of a nuclear reactor very small one that could fit on

00:57:38.820 the what looked like a trailer like the back of a of a trailer truck maybe you saw this and it's

00:57:44.300 like that kind of stuff will be able to be deployed to data centers where the um energy cost will be

00:57:52.080 negligible, right? And so, and I think the data center conversation would go down a lot easier

00:57:58.680 to quote Cernovich, like if data centers paid for local energy consumption or, you know,

00:58:06.100 local infrastructure and really did a lot of pot sweeteners for the local community. I think that

00:58:11.160 would go a long way too. Okay. So my final word on all of this is I, it's totally valid. You

00:58:17.560 wouldn't want a data center near you. So, you know, those things, we're not saying like you

00:58:21.360 should like just suck it up and deal with it um there's plenty of open space in this country that

00:58:26.700 you could throw a data center into and i wish that that would happen more and i think that today's

00:58:32.580 form of data centers are going to be so prehistoric within like two years that they're not going to be

00:58:38.560 built the way they are now like jeff is saying also if there was a way to make them quiet that

00:58:42.700 would be nice and if there was a way to like subsidize a town and like you know that they'd

00:58:48.300 really benefit from it and then also it's like when those data centers close down become because

00:58:53.500 they become obsolete now you're left with like this factory thing so i would love to see an exit

00:58:58.620 plan for the data centers like we're going to remove it and pay to remove it and we're going

00:59:02.940 to plant a forest there like something like tell us something's going to happen um if you liked any

00:59:08.860 part of this show you guys please click the like the thumbs up the heart the the ring the notification

00:59:14.220 bell to those of you on the locals chat talking about homeland and you didn't get past season

00:59:19.480 three, go back and watch it and finish it. It is so fricking good. Um, one of the best, uh,

00:59:27.560 series I've seen. I know one season gets a little want, just get through it. Keep going. It's

00:59:31.860 amazing. Um, also, um, did I mention to you about a chicken, a cat ringing a bell for its chicken?

00:59:41.180 Here it is.

00:59:47.320 Bring me chicken, woman. 1.00

00:59:48.800 I better not give my cats that. 1.00

00:59:49.680 We just sing it all the time.

00:59:51.800 That's so funny.

00:59:53.640 They have little peas they give them. 0.78

00:59:55.500 Aww.

00:59:58.380 I'm trying.

00:59:59.440 It's hot, you know.

01:00:01.340 He's trying to cool it.

01:00:02.600 Sure.

01:00:03.160 Making excuses.

01:00:05.620 Come on.

01:00:06.880 Hurry. 1.00

01:00:07.960 That's all Stella would need is a bell. 1.00

01:00:11.180 Oh, yeah.

01:00:12.600 I'm not going to teach my cat the bell because I'd be hearing bells all day.

01:00:17.060 That is such a cat thing.

01:00:19.260 It's not even funny.

01:00:20.620 If they would stay in a chair and not on the table, I might be willing to listen to a bell conversation.

01:00:26.600 Oh, my God.

01:00:27.780 Oh, no, you wouldn't.

01:00:28.920 Trust.

01:00:29.480 You'd be like, all right, give me the bell.

01:00:31.460 Earplugs. 1.00

01:00:33.320 Stella would just be like, hand on the bell nonstop.

01:00:36.840 All right, you guys.

01:00:38.020 Thanks, Jeff, for joining us today.

01:00:39.680 That was fun.

01:00:40.360 That was so fun. I think this was informative and I hope it was useful. And, um, again, you guys,

01:00:45.980 you know, these are our opinions on, you know, different subjects. So I, I hope, um, you know,

01:00:52.100 maybe you took something from that. We'll be back tomorrow. Marcella and I will definitely be back

01:00:57.000 tomorrow. Owen is still on assignment and, uh, we will be here and you guys, um, let's have a

01:01:05.920 closing sip to Scott and Shelly for, you know, allowing this show to continue. I just always say

01:01:10.920 it that way, because if it wasn't for Scott, you know, wanting to do this and Shelly being a willing

01:01:16.620 participant, this would never have taken shape the way it did. And it did. And we're here and

01:01:21.480 we're so happy. So, um, thank you to them both. And then let's have a closing sip to our beloved

01:01:28.660 scott who just is our evergreen mentor and we miss him so much to scott to scott to scott

01:01:41.060 if anyone has to bounce go on and i'm gonna play a song

01:01:46.020 so you guys akira when is he jeff dancing oh leave jeff jeff will you be dancing i'll be dancing

01:01:53.140 yes oh my god okay so listen you guys meaningwave.com is where you can find and support

01:02:01.380 akira's music meaningwave.com and his name is akira the dawn and you know jeff why don't we

01:02:09.380 go with the mating process today let's take a listen fire it up spicy spicy

01:02:24.060 You should know that the mating instinct is the base of pretty much all of your impulses.

01:02:29.880 So if you haven't learned that pretty much everything from the way you talk, present yourself, hold yourself, dress,

01:02:36.100 everything you do is some kind of expression of your mating instinct.

01:02:41.120 Whether you like it or not.

01:02:43.940 Whether you like it or not.

01:02:46.500 Everything you show off about that you don't want to show if you have a flaw,

01:02:50.360 Pretty much everything you do comes back to wanting to look good and present yourself well for mating purposes.

01:02:58.560 Once you understand that, you start to understand where the buttons are.

01:03:03.680 Because you'll say, oh, that's why that's happening.

01:03:06.660 It's an extension of the mating process.

01:03:07.500 I see you dancing at home.

01:03:09.740 Oh, that's why that's happening.

01:03:12.380 It's an extension of the mating process.

01:03:15.400 Oh, that's why that's happening.

01:03:17.740 It's an extension of the mating process.

01:03:20.360 once you see it you can't unsee it you'll see it everywhere oh that's why that's happening

01:03:28.800 it's an extension of the mating process it's like the veil will come off and you'll start

01:03:35.060 seeing everybody's action says wait a minute why is it everything is compatible with that

01:03:42.800 Showing off for mating purposes

01:03:46.040 Situation

01:03:47.160 Showing off 0.88

01:03:50.280 For mating purposes

01:03:51.700 Situation 0.94

01:03:52.820 Oh, that's why that's happening 0.99

01:03:57.060 It's an extension of the mating process 0.90

01:03:59.420 Oh, oh 0.98

01:04:01.200 That's why that's happening 0.95

01:04:02.700 It's an extension of the mating process

01:04:05.060 Once you see it

01:04:07.240 You can't unsee it

01:04:08.760 You'll see it everywhere

01:04:10.680 Oh

01:04:12.460 Well, that's why that's happening. 0.98

01:04:14.500 It's an extension of the mating process.

01:04:29.300 Post your pics, you guys.

01:04:32.560 It's on YouTube.

01:04:33.440 well that was short but sensual i get to see youtube gets to see uh locals and their pictures
