00:00:00.000 On the biggest stage in the world, FanDuel is changing the game
00:00:04.120 because sometimes your player gets subbed off and your bet goes with them.
00:00:07.520 Not anymore.
00:00:08.480 With FanDuel's Super Sub, if your player's subbed out, your bet stays in.
00:00:12.820 That's right.
00:00:13.380 If your player leaves the match, your bet continues on with the substitute,
00:00:17.560 so you're still in it until the final whistle.

00:01:01.640 Yeah, yeah.
00:01:02.900 I had told you that
00:01:05.620 one of the Jonas brothers, Nick.
00:01:08.180 One of the Jonas brothers was eating with his
00:01:09.980 dad. With his dad. And this kid
00:01:11.760 kind of had this vague
00:01:14.040 resemblance to Nick Jonas.
00:01:16.160 And he had a guitar.
00:01:18.120 And I guess his father was
00:01:19.920 there or whoever it was. And I'm like,
00:01:21.820 no, that's his agent.
00:01:22.880 and that's nick jonas and and you're like you wanted to believe so bad to get a picture
00:01:29.940 and we were standing back but we couldn't hear what you were saying to them or what they were

00:02:18.800 just to do, you know, a day of radio or whatever.
00:02:21.180 Yeah.

00:02:22.260 Yeah.
00:02:23.000 Philly.

00:02:24.460 Cleveland.

00:02:27.660 Oh, no.
00:02:28.140 Uh-oh.
00:02:28.980 Problem.
00:02:29.520 No.
00:02:30.220 All right.
00:02:31.580 It's the business.
00:02:32.800 It is what it is.
00:02:33.280 Some people you get along with.
00:02:36.440 Some people you don't.
00:02:37.200 Some people you appreciate.
00:02:38.320 Some people.
00:02:38.620 Absolutely.
00:02:39.680 I get it.
00:02:40.920 There are people we are friends with.
00:02:42.900 There are people we know from work.
00:02:44.140 There are people who try to get us fired.
00:02:45.500 There are people who life is crazy.
00:02:50.020 All right.
00:02:50.780 You know how it is all walks.
00:02:52.760 I hear you.
00:02:53.900 Believe me.
00:02:55.000 I understand wholeheartedly.
00:02:58.060 Let's talk to John from the Isle of Long.
00:03:02.720 John, what's up, my friend?
00:03:05.320 Hey, what's going on, guys?
00:03:06.520 Oi.
00:03:07.320 Hi, John.
00:03:08.620 Hi, John.
00:03:09.260 Wonderful, John.
00:03:10.100 I just wanted to ask,
00:03:11.440 What do you guys think the future of, like, talk radio and media is going between podcasts and radio and all of that?
00:03:20.380 It's, as far as I'm concerned, I think, like I was saying, the only commodity left is talk.
00:03:27.760 It's something you can't just whip up.
00:03:30.380 You know, if I like 80s music, I could go to Satellite Radio 80s on 8,
00:03:35.320 or I could go to Spotify or Apple Radio
00:03:38.080 and get exactly what I want without the pesky DJ
00:03:40.440 chiming in between my Kaja Goo Goo songs.
00:03:44.480 Hitting the post and wrecking the beginning of the song.
00:03:46.720 Right, right. 1.00
00:03:47.440 Big dumb mouth. 1.00
00:03:48.040 Yapping over it. 1.00
00:03:49.120 Yeah.
00:03:49.940 But talk radio, that's still something that people want.
00:03:55.440 They'll listen to it.
00:03:56.620 There's an audience for it.
00:03:58.840 So I don't know.
00:03:59.860 I think that's something that, you know,
00:04:01.340 the death knell for radio has been going on for years,
00:04:04.640 television, you know, talkies.
00:04:07.640 Yeah.
00:04:08.100 The talkies.
00:04:09.440 But, you know, if you got people on there that know what they're doing,
00:04:13.580 I don't know why they hired me.
00:04:15.160 But, you know, people, they'll listen.
00:04:18.220 They kind of want that.
00:04:19.920 Yeah, because you can't just whip up a playlist of your favorite talk.
00:04:22.840 No, no.
00:04:23.480 Do you guys think podcasts get played out eventually?
00:04:28.240 People are never going to stick a little bit.
00:04:29.540 Because there's so many of them.
00:04:30.560 There's always going to be ones that last.
00:04:32.180 Yeah.
00:04:32.660 No, they'll be around for a long time until the next technology comes along.
00:04:35.700 But why wouldn't they?
00:04:36.260 Radio's been here forever.
00:04:37.280 I think podcasting, though, is almost like comedy was in the 80s,
00:04:41.880 where everyone was doing Jerry.
00:04:43.440 Yeah.
00:04:43.680 You know, did you ever notice?
00:04:45.300 And there were five comedy shows on every weekend.
00:04:49.720 Yeah.
00:04:50.320 Evening at the improv and all those things.
00:04:52.620 Comedy on the road with John Miner.
00:04:54.160 Yeah, yeah.
00:04:54.720 And then after a while, you know, the people that weren't that good
00:04:59.980 kind of fell to the wayside.
00:05:01.820 and the good people
00:05:04.760 continued but there's
00:05:06.760 you know you walk into a comedy club and sometimes you see
00:05:08.720 those head shots and you're like what happened
00:05:10.780 to that guy? Dude I was
00:05:12.280 I go into clubs like clubs that have been around for a long
00:05:14.840 time and I look at those head shots
00:05:16.040 and I'm like what happened to like I don't know who any
00:05:18.700 of these people are but they all
00:05:20.840 had the same dream I had. They think of
00:05:22.760 that when they look at your picture.
00:05:31.820 Yeah, you get the point, Tom.
00:05:33.280 Yeah, you get the point.
00:05:35.980 I hope that answered your question, John.
00:05:39.040 Awesome.
00:05:39.560 Thank you, guys.
00:05:40.120 Jimmy, your podcast is awesome, too.
00:05:42.100 Thank you, John.
00:05:42.820 Thanks, buddy.
00:05:43.240 Yes, Jim Norton's podcast, Jim Norton Can't Save You.
00:05:46.440 I love it.
00:05:46.900 Yeah, I love doing it.
00:05:47.580 He cannot save you, and it's a lot of fun.
00:05:50.880 I wanted to call it, you know, people love the song at the end of it that I close with, 0.50
00:05:53.960 and I wanted to call this show Good Luck Stupid because it's such a great name.
00:05:59.340 It kind of fits, too. 0.99
00:06:00.740 It does.
00:06:01.160 You got problems? 1.00
00:06:01.780 Good luck, stupid. 1.00
00:06:02.980 But Mike, the producer, he's like, yeah, but it might be harder to get certain guests if they don't know. 1.00
00:06:07.060 I'm like, oh, yeah.
00:06:08.340 And at the end, I just play it.
00:06:10.040 It's a very short, like, AI-generated song.
00:06:12.120 Everybody asked me about the song at the end of it.
00:06:14.000 They're all like, who's that singing, and where'd you get that?
00:06:16.540 Wow.
00:06:17.100 It's AI.
00:06:18.120 AI.
00:06:18.540 It's like 10 seconds.
00:06:19.600 Did you come up with the prompt for the AI?
00:06:22.860 Yeah, I did on my phone.
00:06:24.060 You did?
00:06:24.440 Yeah, there's actually an opening song, which we don't play on the video, which is AI.
00:06:30.200 and then there's a closing song
00:06:33.180 but it's a 10 second song
00:06:34.860 and that's the whole thing
00:06:36.420 on AI. I tried to hire a girl to actually
00:06:38.800 sing it and
00:06:40.220 she was like one of these people you find on a website 1.00
00:06:42.480 and she's like this is only fans you idiots 1.00
00:06:44.760 I don't sing it 1.00
00:06:45.740 like I'm sorry
00:06:47.900 I saw you talking into that giant microphone 1.00
00:06:50.400 why the microphone spit on the lady
00:06:55.060 so that i'm i'm kind of impressed that you you know how to get songs out of ai i want i just 0.94
00:07:07.140 wanted to try something weird because i was using ai and having a red roast jokes because they suck
00:07:10.940 so much yeah that was really good they're terrible terrible it doesn't have a sense of humor it can't
00:07:16.760 get it that's a weird like thing that just it can't at least now and i think it's going to be
00:07:21.980 very tough for ai to be funny to get that one thing but it's gotten better though they music
00:07:27.420 though it's pretty good it's pretty good and this um i love the end of this uh this song but people
00:07:34.660 always ask me but anyway i was gonna call it that but i didn't i kind of wish i had yeah but jim
00:07:38.620 norton can't save you has my name in it so it's easier yeah you gotta have your name in there 0.66
00:07:41.700 it's easier and people won't guests potential guests won't go like really call me stupid
00:07:46.220 that's in a weird way because i just watched the end of the uh the neil degrasse tyson one 0.98
00:07:50.800 and it's playing good luck stupid but it's showing 0.57
00:07:52.880 pictures of me and Neil 1.00
00:07:54.020 and I'm like I'm not calling him stupid 1.00
