Yeah, it was fun. What floor? There's so many questions. And so you were just like, if somebody comes, I'm just going to like, I didn't mean that way. It's a bit. Welcome to Ducation. Also potentially hazardous to your health.

Alright, moving on. Why do you have flies in your freaking house? I noticed this earlier. It's Southern California and I have fruit. You put zombie and you put deer in the title and I don't want to do it. Dignation.com Hello everybody and welcome to Dignation V2, Episode 2. I'm Alex Albrecht. And I'm Kevin Rose.

Dignation covers some of our favorite stories from a whole plethora of websites across the internet. The internet. I did actually find a couple on Dignation.com. Oh, that's great. Old school. Yeah, old school. This is the reboot-ish of the show.

Cheers. Cheers. Good to see you again, sir. Good to is the reboot-ish of the show. Cheers. Cheers. Good to see you again, sir. Good to see you as well. Let's drink. Okay. It's always awkward because, like, someone's supposed to be talking and we're both sipping at the same time. Okay, don't spit on my couch.

That's exactly what happened. I was like, why didn't we just both start drinking at the same time? Okay. So this, we have decided to come back and we've said this would be fun to do on the more regular. It was so much fun, honestly, getting together, just get sitting and chatting that that was like so fun that it just became like, why wouldn't we, especially since you're in LA now, it was like, why wouldn't we just get together periodically? So we're not going to get together every week because life. Well, if they paid us enough, I'm sure we'd. We would get back together every week because life.

But we're going to be doing this on a more regular basis. We're still sort of trying to figure out exactly how often. So stick tuned, as they say. Stick tuned. Stick tuned. I'm just using my vernacular from 2025. 2025? 2005, which is when we launched.

So, yeah, stick tuned. And we'll keep you posted. But we're thinking like every few weeks. So it's going to be fun. We're trying to get all of our domains back. We're trying to get our Instagram. We didn't have have Instagram trying to get our YouTube account back. Yeah, that'll be great. We're working on a bunch of stuff. So, well, you don't realize how much stuff just kind of gets lost in the ether. You think everything's going to stay, but like,

we have no idea if the RSS feed for the podcast even still exists anywhere. Yeah, we looked. You know, and it's like, where does that, what does that even mean? Anyway. Well, if you're watching this, you found us. Hey, welcome. Welcome. You did it. All right, let's kick it off.

Sure. Well, first of all, how are you? Yeah, I'm doing well. It is Friday. I've got some San Quentin wine, which I didn't bring in a bottle. No. But I have a decanting. It's very nice.

And by the way, just for everybody out there to know, I did bring a bottle of much less expensive wine because I didn't want him to think I was just going to drink his very expensive wine. But then he was like, I don't drink my wine unless we're doing something like this. So we get to do a nice wine. Yes. It's an excuse to drink good wine together with friends. Mal's here as well.

Mal's got a little wine. Someone died, and I got a bunch of wine. It wasn't a family member. I was going to say, you've got to tell them, but somebody else died. It was like the box. Yeah, somebody died, and we got an email, and they said, we got all this wine. You actually helped the family. Oh, it was during COVID? family oh it was during covid it was during covid and we were sitting there we're like okay shit like what if we just

like go in and like lowball them and just get all this like fancy wine yeah and so we came in and i didn't want to take advantage of a dead person but at the same time sounds like you did well listen the family weren't they weren't big drinkers oh well there you go and so and and you know i like to drink and so i got the wine got a bunch of bottles that are in, like, the 80s and shit. And so we have this, and then Daria gets this freaking allergic reaction from red wine. Yeah, which is funny. Heather started to do that where she can't. For her, it's... Night sweats and shit?

No, no, no. I mean, that's normal. That's fine. I had a face that I made made i didn't mean to say that no she uh acid reflux oh it hits her acid reflux pretty bad and so then she's just like i'm uncomfortable i don't really like this right i'd rather have jack daniels yeah i mean you've always been a big jack family it's funny you like that gentleman jack i like that gentleman jack yeah it's really funny my whole family has been um jack daniels fan like that's, Jack. Yeah, it's really funny. My whole family has been Jack Daniels fan. Like, that just was the drink of choice. My grandfather may have even, it's so funny now to think,

I've probably told this story and everybody's going to be like, yeah, yeah, we know this. No, they won't because it was like 20 years ago. It was literally 20 years ago. Oh, my God. So my grandfather used to do this thing. Whenever we would ask him if we could go do something, like, hey, can we go to the beach? He'd take a shot of Jack first.

He would literally go. No. He would go, I got to ask my friend Jack. And he would get up, walk into the kitchen, open this little cupboard, pulled out this little bottle of Jack Daniels. Did he make you drink it? Drink. He would drink it. And he'd go, he says it's all right.

Literally everything we asked him. He says it's all right. Like, I have to go pee, he's like hold on that's my friend Jack so anyway we're both big Heather's family as well, big Jack Daniels family I remember you got it, I remember when you first discovered Gentleman Jack

you were like oh it's my shit high end it's so funny, so I went out to dinner, we sat at the bar and I was like you know It's so funny. So I went out to dinner. We sat at the bar, and I was like, you know, I love old fashions. Yes, so do I. Usually my go-to order is a Jack Daniels old-fashioned not-so-sweet.

Yes. That's my go-to order. I don't say Jack Daniels, but I'd say rye. Right. But the funny thing is I realized I was like, I feel so limited. Like, old-fashioned. Like, I've, you know, 30 years I've been ordering old-fashioned., I was like, I feel so limited, like old fashioned, like I'm, you know, 30 years I've been ordering old fashioned. So I was like, I want something different.

So I told the guy, I was like, I like old fashions. I like the idea. What would you get me? Did he say Manhattan? No, he got me a brown Derby. Ooh, what's that? It's bourbon, grapefruit juice, honey, and it tastes amazing.

And also like, it sounds way cooler to be like... It sounds disgusting. Grapefruit juice? Yeah. Well, it's like a Campari, right? You get that little sour kick. Yeah, yeah.

Now you're getting it. Do you like Manhattans though? I don't know if I've... I feel like Manhattans are a little sweet. They are a little sweet. You've got to ask for them a little less sweet.

Maybe I'll get a less sweet. Oh, dude, I've got to take you to this place I went to in L.A. last week. I mean, we're in L.A. I know. They did it old-fashioned with, like, this really kind of rare spirit I hadn't heard of before in terms of the rye side. I can't remember what it was.

But they mixed in a little bit of cognac for the sweetness. Ooh. So cognac was, like, the sweetener on it. So it was, like, a little bit of rye a little bit of cognac okay and then there was one other thing they put in some bitters and i was just like this is the shit interesting yes the cognac was that little hit yeah that little that warms you up yeah baby anyway uh don't drink well it's really funny because i've definitely slowed down on the drinking over the years.

Literally last episode you said you drank a bottle. I drink a lot. I drink a lot. I don't know why I said that. I think I just thought maybe my parents would be watching. Seriously, my birthday was Wednesday, so happy birthday to me. I went down to San Diego, and we went to the races at Del Mar for my birthday. Which I have a love-hate relationship with it. The pomp and

circumstance is awesome. Getting dressed up, going, you know, horses are beautiful and the sound of the horns. But I know horse racing is horrible for horses so it's like I have this weird... Is it? It's high intensity interval training. It's not hate training for horses. It's cardio, dude. They literally shoot them when they are done. I mean, i mean not when they're done no but like if they twist an ankle they're like oh my legs a little and they're like and it's like beautiful horses anyway yeah long story long the whole time we were like sitting there they were like yeah you know i mean drinking's okay but like it's really good to like slow down i was like are you telling me i'm drinking too much like that feels weird who said that to you my parents oh we're just talking globally about globally in general drinking every

how many how many glasses do you have by that point when we start talking about yeah fair enough exactly but you're slurring your words you know drinking isn't really great for your body. I don't know. I love horses. I love horses. Anyway, long story short, I'm still copious drinking. Yeah.

I mean, I take my time. Okay, let's move on to the first story. We haven't gotten going. You know what? We need to talk about some stuff. Okay, so first of all, how do I look? Amazing. Look at my skin.

Oh, interesting. Is it radiant? It is actually pretty radiant. It's pretty nice? It's funny. I hadn't really thought about it, but I would say that you had powder on, but I'm pretty sure you don't. Right.

I look good, right? Yeah. So I did some new shit. Okay. So we're getting older. Yeah. And, you know, we do media. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just gonna try to like, I gotta soften this a little bit. Yeah. And you know, I was thinking like, I don't want to be old. I don't mind. I don't mind dying. But I also kind of like want

to stay looking a little bit young. Okay. But I don't do botox oh okay so what do we have we have like the rock has like some fucking supplements now and so yeah everybody has a skin line and we'll go to their skin line right but so i went to my dermatologist because you're supposed to go once a year to get checked for like i'm literally going next week okay good yeah you do once a year? I try. Because like, you can get, I have two buddies that have skin cancer. No, I know. It's serious shit. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Check your toes too. Between the toes is the most commonplace people do not notice that it's at and then they get fucked. I wish I didn't have to say this

but my friend's sister literally just passed away like three years ago right between her toes. Didn't even notice it. Didn't notice it. Nobody washes their toes. Yeah.

Do you wash your toes? Yeah. I mean. your toes didn't even notice it didn't notice it nobody washes their toes yeah do you wash your toes yeah i mean nobody really does well so this is so funny there was a whole okay but this is funny because there was this whole thing that i saw that like popped off i think it was on reddit it was this big discussion about whether you soap the bottom half of your body in the shower. And I was like, what are you talking about? The whole point of showering is you soap everything. Well, you soap your goods 100%. Do you soap your legs?

Depends on the day. See, this is the craziest thing. It blew my mind. It was 50-50. Now do you soap your legs? No, no. It's all about letting the soap fall down. This is what people were saying.

It's like a car wash. It's not a car wash. By the way, they put soap all over your car. They don't just go, the soap's going to make it to the end. Listen, the soap goes down my body, down my legs, between my toes. Oh, my God. Yes, your junk, yes. Of course, of course.

Oh, everybody does their junk. Dude, I do my whole legs. I do my feet. When you're doing the junk, do you go front to back? I don't know if I've ever thought of that But you do the whole way Of course, okay Sure, I mean I'll do it

Dude, I'm in the shower for one reason soap everywhere IQ tip. Oh, yeah. No, I do like soap behind the ears and make sure I get all that stuff do I'm literally cleaning my body. Okay, so back to your face. Okay, so my face. Or, well, the whole being? I went there. They checked.

No dermatologist shit. No bad stuff. Okay. And they were like, there's this thing. And I had heard about this. Did they say it that shaky? Your doctor goes, there's this thing. Well, I was just like, yeah, what else is good?

You know, what else you got here? You know, this guy's getting good stuff. I made it all the way here. Yeah, exactly. Where's the menu? Yeah, where's the menu? And like, you know, the menu is all kinds of crazy shit. I'm like, I don't want Botox shit.

I don't want that. Get that. And they were like, well, we got this thing that is called a vampire facial. And I'm like, okay. And I heard my wife talking about it. So it's like a thing? Yeah, it's a thing. And I actually had talked to, we talked to a a friend of ours ronda patrick has a really popular science podcast and she said it's

a thing so it's like legit science right heard it from other places yes yeah and so i was like all right let's do this shit so they take and draw your blood your own blood your own blood and then they spin it in the centrifuge okay and then they get something else called the platelet-rich plasma, the PRP. And it looks like kind of like grape juice. Oh, okay. And by the time they, so they get all the red blood stuff. Yeah. And then they take, and they take this little roller and they kind of micro-needle your face.

So they put little micro-holes all over your face. And then they rub your face with this, like, your own goo, and then it basically goes in and it heals and reduces all the lines and shit naturally with your own shit, with your own platelets. Whoa. Yeah. So these little guys, gone.

Interesting. We could go in there and get done. So were you feeling like you were seeing lines? Oh, dude, you look like hell Oh, yeah Yeah, I mean like I was getting what I was getting lines Yeah, you go easy see the lines and she did that everybody has like yeah, what's true? Babies gonna and it's like oh man, they're so smooth when they're bad. Yeah, so but you know like the resting

Yeah, yeah I am face lines and yes And so I was getting a lot of that. And then I was getting more texture, like more bubbly, like not bubbly, but like rougher texture. Okay. And so I was like, let's do this. And so I did one.

They make you buy a package of four because they say the best results is over four and thus they can make more money that way. That's how doctors work. And so I'm going to go back and do it. I'm going to do a video of it actually. So how often do they recommend it? Once a month. So once a month for four months and you just did the first one?

When did you do it? About three weeks ago. That's your do? Yeah. Well, yeah. But I can already see like little tiny micro changes, like less little tiny of the micro lines are visible. It's kind of cool because it's not Botox.

It's not something foreign. Yeah. It's your own body's healing process. And actually, when people get surgeries and shit they'll do this and they'll inject those platelets into the surgery site and it helps people heal faster so they're using it for other shit too yeah so it's like a known thing Wow this is blew my mind yeah so it's a new shit I just want to throw out there well I'm I'll talk to my you should do

it I mean you literally was just about to say I'll talk to my gynecologist on Thursday. I do not know where that came from. Listen, like... But I will talk to my dermatologist. We're in a new world. On Thursday. That's where you're going. Yeah.

Oh, my God. That's crazy. Did it hurt when they were doing the, like, rake in your face? Yeah, they did the neck, too. Because I think, honestly, the worst... Super sensitive. But, yeah, the worst thing about guys as they get older is the neck sag. And the neck, more than the sag, the wrinkly neck, like the hanging skin kind of shit.

Yeah, you don't want that. No, that's not good. But that's what, you know, we're in our late 40s now. Shit starts to happen. I don't know. I'm assuming there's some guys out there that are like, what the you're talking about kevin but there's all probably something i mean look you know as i always say you know the alternative is worse right so like getting old is fine i don't mind getting old i don't mind having wrinkles i don't mind all that but if there's something

did you ever go through a phase or think about uh uh dyeing your hair i did dye my hair you did i've done my hair before. That's so interesting. For sure. So, well, let me tell you the backstory there. So, I, at True Ventures...

Because when did you go, when did you start going gray? I mean, I had some grays when we started, we're finishing up Dignation, I was getting some grays, like little ones.

Okay, so it's probably what, 35-ish? Yeah, but like, I will say, there was, I have a good reason for it. You don't need a good reason. No, but there's actually a great company.

I highly recommend it. We invested in a company, a founder named Amy, over at True Ventures, where I'm over there doing VC deals, called Madison Reed. Oh, yeah. And Madison Reed, they blew up during the pandemic because no nobody could get their hair color yep and so they were sending out all these kits to mostly to women obviously at home dye their hair blah blah and they came out the men's line and it wasn't about changing your hair color it said they had this great tagline that was like uh less salt more pepper or something like that,

where it was like, you didn't go fully black. You just got a little bit less gray. Oh, that's really smart. Yeah, exactly. It wasn't about like, Hey, can I look fake or whatever? So I tried it on my beard and I tried it on my hair and it was like kind of dope. It like, like literally like that shit, oddly enough, takes off the appearance of probably about five to seven years of life. Yeah, that's crazy. And so I did it for a little while and I I was like, okay, I'm good for now. It was just like a lot.

But I do recommend, I think Madison Reed makes a great product in that it looks real. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because the worst is those dudes where you're just like, oh, fuck, your hair is kind of like, you know that tint you get when you have that? It's the Ken hair. It just looks like the plastic helmet. Nobody wants that. And you're like, no, just looks like the plastic helmet. Nobody wants that. No, that's not good.

Yeah. So anyway. Interesting. Speaking of getting old and things. So this popped up and I wanted to talk about this story because this actually happened to my mother-in-law. Oh, shit. Yeah. So woman's insurance canceled after drone flies over her home.

So this was in Modesto, but it's happening all over. Specifically, I know about it happening in California. Okay. I don't know if it's happening in other places. But essentially, she's had the same insurance, home insurance, for 40 years. And this instance was actually a little bit more shady because the insurance company flew a drone over her house, which just feels weird.

Like I know legally you can do that, but just feels like very targeted. Yes. But the insurance companies are doing this where they're flying drones to basically pick out reasons to get rid of people's home insurance. What are they looking for? I mean, honestly, honestly anything and so the

Shady thing that happened to this lady was she was in the middle of a remodel a big remodel and they said that there was Scattered debris all over her house that made it look like it was like a hoarder's house It was the trash from the kitchen remodel Interesting and they were she was like, what are you talking about? Like that was there for a week while they were demoing the kitchen. Right, right. And you just happened to fly over? With Heather's mom, it was, they said that she had to replace a roof.

Oh, yeah, that's what I thought. They'd be looking at tiles and shit and being like, yeah. But here's the fucking shitty thing. They're not renewing her insurance after she replaced the roof. They want out. They want out. A lot the roof. They want out. They want out. A lot of these insurance companies want out. But it has to do with, in California specifically, it has to do with the crazy rains.

It's fires, but that's like hills. Yeah. We're not really, we don't, you know, at least not now. We don't really have to worry about it. But the rains that happened in the last like two years in a row. Leaks? Oh, everything. Because who knows you have a leak

you could have a leak in southern california for fucking 30 years and never know because it never i mean it rains but it never rains like that but the last couple years it's been like torrential downpours crazy like lightning storms and yeah um but yeah but is that evil though or is that just smart business well it, it depends, right? It depends because – Because if they see tiles, they're like, this person's not really keeping their shit up. No, and I get that.

And had this insurance company allowed my mother-in-law to repair her roof and then continue with her insurance. That's the way you have to do it. You have to say, hey, here's a 90-day notice. Yep. Like, we noticed some damage here. Yeah. Got to do it.

Please just take it in compliance. But don't just cancel and not allow them to do it. The other thing, too, is, like, we had a roofer guy come out, and he, you know, walked the roof, and he was like, it's fine. Your roof's fine. On her house? Yes, on her house. They were like, it's fine. There was, like, a little bit of debris, like a brush you know what i mean debris in a corner they were like they might have thought that that was

pooled water it's not but the insurance company's not going to go oh okay thanks for checking yeah now they're going to be like do it but also it's tough i mean and then it's like how the hell is any going to be anybody going to buy a house in California if you literally cannot get someone to insure the house? Dude, so this is a whole new thing of uninsured houses. That's a thing? Dude, it's a whole thing. So I had, this is a true story, the insurance for my house had, for some reason, it was just like they wanted to come by and certify something, but they couldn't do it. And the guy missed the window. And so he couldn't come by and certify something, but they couldn't do it. And the guy missed the window, and so he couldn't come by to check out the house.

Okay. And they literally canceled the plan. Whoa. And I was just like, okay, we have no insurance now. And then they wouldn't come out and reinstate it. They're like, no, we're done. What? So I had to find a different insurance broker and a different plan,

and there was a three-week window where I had no insurance. Jesus jesus where it's like if things would have burnt down or anything would happen like i've been completely fucked wow and but it's like california is weird man the insurance companies are wanting to back out yeah yeah mostly because of fires yeah and we're obviously earthquakes too we've had a lot of that lately but anyway yeah it's it's it's it's interesting in that here oh whoa look at you i was like you're by that. You're the wine distributor It's you'd actually drinking your wine. Thank you. We do one chug since we haven't like years. Yes. Oh, I like that I mean, it's weird chugging nice wine, but I'm also game Okay, let's

there's nothing sexy about this bathroom right now. But you've never, how about like just like in business class, like laying next to somebody? I mean, there's literally a partition. But you can do these things. Yeah, like you never, never? No, I'm usually like I have a Xanax, I'm trying to sleep, I don't really want to be on a plane. Yeah.

I'm surprised you... Oh, dude, I've done at least ten times. But that's interesting because you're not a huge, like you're not a fan of flying. Oh, but like, I hate flying, but might as well have some drinks and have a little sex. I mean, I guess I can now understand why it makes sense. You're gonna die. What a good way to go out, right? Yeah.

You're like, this is going to crash. Let's just bang one out real quick. I don't know. I just like, I've never like banged one out. Like, I'm not masturbating on the plane. No. No. Not you.

Oh, you meant like as a couple? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, yeah. I'm not doing that. Jesus. Yeah, I definitely have not done that Okay, yeah. I'm not doing that. Jesus. Yeah, I definitely have not done that either. Okay. I'm not in that mile or so either.

All right, let's keep moving on. Okay, let's see here. Sex on an office chair sounded fun, but in reality, we span around so fast she fell off and hit her head on the desk. See, it's so funny because I was like, it's another thing where I'm like, does that sound fun? Like, I mean, maybe I guess there's a lot of like porn office stuff. Chairs are probably a good idea, but like the office chair is those Herman Millers. Like they just, you know.

Honestly, most places that aren't a bed suck. Like the floor, you're like, oh, this is so sexy. And I'm like, fuck, my knees hurt. That's actually the majority of the rest of them. It's like sex and nature. Like, I mean, well, I mean, they say on the beach, like, fuck, my knees hurt. That's actually the majority of the rest of them. It's like sex in nature. I mean, I don't know. Well, I mean, they say on the beach.

Like, on the beach is not fun. I would never. It's sandy and shit. Oh, God, that would just be so bad. I did once have sex in a park. How was that? It was fun. It was good. Like on swings and shit?

Yeah. Swings? Yeah. On swings? Yeah. In a park. Like children's swings? There. In a park. Like children's swings? There weren't any children.

How do you know there wouldn't be children coming? It was like 2 o'clock in the morning. Oh, Kevin. 2 p.m. I was like, 2 p.m. School didn't get out until 3, Kevin. I know. We were covered.

I mean, that's interesting i can get that you were probably younger oh yeah i mean like yeah very young yeah but also one of these what was also happening at the same time in there at that event and i was like and i also feel the exact same way i don't know anything that the story in the story the next couple down oh same it was like the pool not the pool but also i totally got dude water water's tough it's two more pool and shower it's hard it's hard it always sounds like a good idea yeah i know it does it just but then you get there and you're like this is not okay this is one that's interesting changing room in a clothing store that sounds awesome i mean that does sound that sounds of all of them that sounds that's interesting. Changing room in a clothing store. That sounds awesome.

I mean, that does sound, that sounds, of all of them, that sounds the best. That's the best one, right? Yeah, because if you're in there and your lady's trying something skimpy on, you're like, okay. I mean, I've definitely had some thoughts of doing that, but not done it. Let's see here. Have you ever done it where you were like potentially going to be exposed? Like in terms of people seeing? Oh, 100%. Oh, okay.

I didn't realize that was so banal. You've never done that? No, yeah, I did it in an elevator once. What? Yeah, it was fun. But you pulled the like stopper? Mm-mm. You just let him.

Wait, what floor? There's so many questions. Like, dude, that could be a 10-second version of sex or a three-minute, depending on, like, we were at the Burj in Dubai. We were at the Burj Khalifa, yeah. Like, 250th floor? No, we were, no, it was college. And I don't know why we got this idea, but we just were like, this would be fucking great.

And so we literally just went up and down in the like the late at night no what and so you were just like if somebody comes i'm just gonna like that didn't mean that way if somebody opens the door i'm gonna pull out and just kind of like act like normal yeah all right we had a plan that's college thankfully nobody came that's called i mean that's not true go ahead ahead. What's up? All right. Next one is, uh, this one's more about three people getting involved and saying it's a bad idea.

Baby? Oh, sorry. Baby. Sorry, it was saying you could drive my car. Oh, yeah. Sex in the car is just awful. There's so little space, it's uncomfortable. Honestly, that is very true, however, comma.

Depends on the vehicle suvs with the fold-on seats oh well yeah you're basically just camping at that point yeah no in the back of a small car not great and i had a i had an experience where we pulled into um a park different park uh and did our business and we thankfully had finished our business gotten dressed and we're back in the car about to leave and cop pulls up what are they gonna do even if you like a couple of the oh stop doing it no i know but well but we were kids it was just like you know we're like so college okay yeah but was just like, you know, we were like so... How old? College. Okay. Yeah, but still like nervous, you know what I mean, when a cop pulls up.

And it was so interesting because... Oh, how did they put it? It was the most interesting way... Like a police officer? Yeah, because he came up and he said, what are you guys doing here? And we were like... Raw dogging? We were like, we were raw dogging.

Sir, can you please leave? No, uh, no, we, I think we just, we were like, oh, well we were having an argument. So we decided to pull over rather than continue driving, which I thought at the time was really great, but then made the cop go, are you beating her? You know what I mean? So he goes, he said, he, he leaned over and he said, ma'am, are you okay? Which I appreciate. And she was like, oh, yeah, no, I'm fine. And then he said, are you bleeding? And I was like, what a weird question to ask. Nobody was bleeding.

But he was literally like, are you bleeding? And I was like, what? What is that? Like, I couldn't get in my brain like where that would be the question. I still don't understand why that's the question. Yeah. And maybe it's because she could say yes and then he'd arrest me. Like, I don't know.

But it was uncomfortable. It wasn't very satisfying. Although I will say, driving handies and driving blowjobs are pretty cool. I almost died. Well, then they're not so cool. Don't do that. I almost died. What happened then they're not so cool. Don't do that. I almost died. What happened?

I don't know what to talk about this. I just was in the car one time, and I was driving, and the other thing was happening. Yes, yes. That's what I was doing. And I took my eyes off the road, and I slammed on the brakes and almost rear-ended the car. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. I had to slam and slide. Yeah, yeah, yeah oh boy oh boy lamb and like slide uh yeah yeah yeah

yeah yeah yeah yeah this is when i was like 24 or something but yeah it wasn't it was you do dumb shit when you're young of course but some of but i every time i've had that i've been able to focus on the road road yeah but also you there's danger because there's teeth there's all sorts of danger there's all sorts of things oh my god that would have dude yes you could get I didn't even think about that

little decapitation alright let's see here the last ones are actually that was like the last really good one it was just a car saying that cars are you know

Ford Fiesta sponsored our show way back in the day remember that oh yeah we had that Ford Fiesta too small too small for in the day. Remember that? Oh, yeah. We had that Ford Fiesta. Too small. Too small for that type of activity. I get that.

It was fun to have Ford as a sponsor. It was fun. Dude, the sponsors were always so cool because the companies like... Except for Zune. Oh, Zune. But it was cool. I loved it. All the Microsoft stuff. We did a live Dignation. Do you remember this? Oh, no. I don't. But I can assume what All the Microsoft stuff. We did a live dig nation. Do you remember this? Oh, I don't. But I can assume what's going to happen. We were reading the Zoom copy.

Yeah. Everyone was like, fuck the Zoom. Oh, God damn. I remember that. And I was like, yeah, fuck the Zoom. And Microsoft was there. Oh, God. And we had to cut it out.

Well, the good news is I was always. Oh, do you? Yeah. You were the Microsoft guy. I was always the Microsoft guy. So at the very least, they had one fan on the table. That's true. I remember I had the Windows phone because I think they sponsored us and I got the Windows phone.

That sounds right. Man, it's really funny to me that all these tech companies always want to do the thing that other tech companies are doing. Of course. Rather than just making a poop ton of money doing the thing that everybody loves that they do. Right. Do you know what I mean? Oh, I mean, but they're also looking for growth in any avenue they could possibly get.

No, I get that. I mean. Sadly, the stock market driven narrative is like, how do we get more and more growth, you know? Yeah, it's so funny. Capitalism is interesting. It is. It can sometimes fuck companies over make them do bad

things but your next story yeah speaking of getting fucked over yes so this actually happened uh in april but it's getting traction like now today as we're taping it came up a bunch um but essentially hackers may have stolen your social security numbers in a massive breach. So there was a huge data breach at a place called National Data Broker. Hold on, let me see what it was called. Data brokers are evil.

No, no, no. National, oh yeah, National Public Data. So it's not a data broker. Okay. It's a company in Florida whose job is to do security and background checks on employees. Oh, shit. Okay. So anybody that's ever had a background check that used this company, they had all this information.

information. And in April, a hacking group called, I think it's called WS, oh, USDOD, essentially infiltrated and pulled out all this encrypted data for 2.7 billion people. Unencrypted. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Unencrypted personal information for 2.7 billion people, Canada, U.S. and some of Europe. And Social Security numbers, the whole nine yards. And in April, they mentioned that this happened. But what happened recently is a person sued National Public Data, but because they said that they didn't give people a heads up that their data may have been leaked.

And so, and his credit, like one of the credit companies that he used, like a credit monitoring company, said that they found his data on the dark web, which of course, I mean, I think a lot of our data is on the dark web. But so now all of a sudden, people didn't really notice it when it happened in april

but now that the suit has come out and has come into the news the bottom line is you are most likely if you've ever worked anywhere you most likely have had your your data so this is the funny thing so i was at the gym this morning and um my trainer i do this like a little swole. But it's like there's eight stations and we do lifting. So, yes, he's my trainer, but he's not like a private personal trainer. He's just a buddy that does this class. It's okay if you have a private trainer. But he, yeah, that's true. That's true.

No shade. But he asked me, he was like, what did you think about this data breach? And I was like, oh, it's true. That's true. No shade. But he asked me, he was like, what did you think about this data breach? And I was like, oh, it's funny. Last night, a buddy of mine texted like one of my group friend chains and was like, massive data breach. Everybody's stuff is out there. Freeze your credit.

Here's the different links to freeze your credit. And I told him, I was like, you know, it's so much data. It's so many people. The likelihood that they just randomly choose me to open up a new credit card is... Well, now they're going to. I know. Don't. Please don't. Don't buy the data. That's all practice searches. No. Anyway, long story short,

but also I have a credit monitoring thing on my bank does a credit monitoring thing. Nice defense. So I get some stuff. So I'll know. I'll know if it pops if it pops i will know but it's interesting because it's like at that scale it's kind of like and i just kind of feel like everybody knows everything like it's all it's all out there um i had a buddy who i found i had this thing where it there was some article that came out years ago and it said um like oh you can search this thing to see if they have your home address. Right.

And they'll have other pieces of information. And so I was like, oh, you should check it out. And we searched his wife, and it had an age. And I go, oh, well, this can't be her because this is the age. And he got this, like, look on his face. Oh, shit. She was that age. Younger. No, oh, well, this can't be her because this is the age. And he got this, like, look on his face. Oh, shit. Because she was. She was that age.

Younger? No, no, no. She was. It was older. And you didn't know? Nobody knew. In our whole friends group. And he was like.

How many years older? Like five. Oh, shit. So she always planned to be younger. She was lying. And he literally got this look on his face like, you can't know that. And I was like, what? I'm just, what?

Because I literally go, oh, yeah, see? Here's your wife. Oh, well, this isn't her because it says that her age is this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he just got this look on his face. And he was like, you can't know that. You can't know that. And I was like, oh, God, this is amazing.

I mean, I was very excited because it's just that was cool that that happened. Yeah. I felt bad for him. But anyway. Yeah. I mean, to me at this point, I assume that most things are out there. And this is why I rotate shit. Oh.

So, like, I rotate out my cell phone number about every three years. By the way, it's the funniest thing. I have, like, seven phone numbers stored for you. It's so funny. Because I keep getting texts and it'll be like, Hey dude, anyway, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh, it's Kevin. And I'm like, who the fuck is this number? What the fuck? But it also makes sense. I get that. I totally get that. Well, it's just like when it gets out there, then you have random people calling and then they're trying to like, you know, whatever. I get that. It's mostly around like pitches of

companies and stuff. Well, you're, it's different because you're literally a guy that invests in companies so so anybody that can get your get your phone number is going to be wanting it i just changed one of my email addresses because of this thing but anyway that happens so it goes um all right so grok oh god you know grok grok is built first up i don't know if a lot of people know grok okay Okay, Grok is XAI's thing. So XAI is Elon Musk's, basically, his AI project. It's x.ai is the website. They have Grok 2, which is their latest version. And there's a beta release.

But what they have done... Is Grok paid? do you have to pay to like i'm always confused when there's ai like models that are out there that you can interact with that are free they're ai models that you can interact with that are free-ish you know you can do like so you can do however many tokens or whatever they call it. Right. Is it tokens? It's tokens. Well, yeah, exactly. Anyway.

Like, you get so many, like, spins of the slot machine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like pay or upgrade or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then sometimes they're most likely a version behind model wise. 100%, yeah. Like ChatGPT's, the free one is still, I think it's 4, but it's not the 4VO or whatever. 4-0, yeah.

Exactly. The free one is still, I think it's 4, but it's not the 4VO or whatever. 4O, yeah. Exactly. So X has a new AI image generator that will make anything. Yeah. So they took off the guardrails, as Elon is known for doing. Yes. And said, hey, let's just see what happens.

And it's crazy. Yes. So we've got Mickey Mouse, Make America Great Again, with a cigarette in his hand and a beer. Oh, my God and it's crazy yes so we've got mickey mouse make america great again with a cigarette in his hand and a beer oh my god it's crazy um you can basically type in whatever you want you've got brock obama holding a knife to joe biden's neck amazing um by the way i love that i love that all of the stuff that's so far out there is like, you know, pro-gun, anti-Disney, like all the things, you know. Look at this. Elon Musk with AR-15s with Mickey Mouse.

With Mickey Mouse in front of a... And like pixelated dead bodies. Oh, God, dude. Why? This is AI. Like Bill Gates is doing like lines of cocaine, which it seems like the cocaine is coming out of his nose. Yeah, I was like, I don't know if the computer knows how cocaine works, but it doesn't usually cascade out of your nose.

But it's crazy. So I played around with it. I did. That makes me very happy that this was AI generated. So this is Kevin Rose eating a poodle. This is the best. The poodle's not cooked, so this would be more the sushi version of poodle.

Yeah, yeah. I wish Mal can get a shot of that there. By the way, I'm very, I'm glad. Alex Albrecht eating a squirrel. First off, interesting version of Alex Albrecht. Kind of looks like Prager. It got the hair right. It did get the hair right.

Go back to the previous one. There's me eating a poodle. By the way, you look like... Pretty cool. You look very cool. Thank you. But you look like... Who's the guy from Ted Lasso?

Look at that. Yeah, fucking Roy Kent. Yeah, Roy Kent. You look like fucking Roy Kent eating a poodle with Kevin Rose's hair. Look at that. Look at that poor poodle. By the way, interesting that it put you in a dev situation.

Right. It knows I'm a hardcore engineer. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Come on. But Kevin Rose with machine gun, like machine gun. Yeah.

With, let's see what it does. So, I mean, they've taken the rails off of it. Which was inapplicable. But how far are the rails off? Whoa, there's me with a machine gun. I mean, that is not you.

I mean, it kind of is. That is the Spanish language version of Dignation U with a machine gun. That is the guy they cast to play the Kevin Rose role. I love that they were like, well. In like Barcelona. They're like, well, you know, you still got to have computers behind them. They put me in the right state. I mean, I were like, well, in like Barcelona. They're like, well, you know, he's still gonna have computers behind him.

Like, they put me in the right state. I mean, I'm not gonna lie to you. They know what you do. Alex Lott worked as a clown with a machine gun and a poodle family.

Oh, this is amazing. I'm so excited for my poodle family. This is just like, now, here's the question. Okay, before you see it, are the poodles clowns? Yes. Oh. Nope. Oh, shit.

I'm next to you. How did it put you in there, and am I just the clown from It? No, I think that... I think they think that's me. Why do they think that's you? No, because I said I was all over it as a clown, so that's you? No, because I said I was over as a clown. So that's you.

Well, no, because I'm dressed as a clown. And I have a poodle family with a machine gun. This is very weird. But so this is AI, you know, we've seen. Unbound. Well, we've seen a lot of this. Oh, yeah. There's like little discords.

Yeah, what is it? Flux is one of the ones that you can download yourself. You can roll your. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's like people are pissed because they're like, oh, it's doing all these harmful images. And I'm like, this is where we're all going to go. I know. It's just going to be a thing.

I think the reason why people are pissed is because it's so easily accessed. Right. Because nobody's mad at Flux or Dy or any of these places that you can like roll your own on your thing and make your own versions of stuff you know what i mean like oh my god what is that i typed in dignation with guns and there's a guy with a dignation shirt with with the ar-15 wow okay the way, that logo is pretty close. Very good. I mean, it literally says Dignation.

Remember back in the day when you could not get it? It would be like alien lettering. Yeah. So, like, listen, if you come to one of our shows and we do a show in the future, just... Don't bring guns. Don't bring guns, people. Yeah. It's interesting.

Are you signed in? Yeah, i'm signing in my account and do you have to pay for this or is this just anything you want no it's just built in it's free wow wow that's crazy that's crazy but but it was bound to happen like it was oh it's totally gonna happen you know what is that guy holding i don't know apparently this is the new Oh, it's totally going to happen. What is that guy holding? I don't know. Apparently he's the new host. He's got a gun with a tripod. Wait, what does that say? I don't know.

Catch of tootation? Yeah, it's very strange. You know AI is not perfect. So this is the thing. I will say there's an AI guy. I wish I remembered his name. Oh, Matt Wolf, I think, who is a YouTube guy who does uh um ai things and it's really good because i used to periodically

i don't know why youtube doesn't show me him anymore you know have you ever figured that so i i was never a real big youtube guy like for entertainment i would like look things up like i wanted to oh how do i change the light bulb or what's oh there's a new trailer you know what i mean i go to youtube my new daily rhythm is i get up i get myself a cup of coffee i sit down in front of my tv and i watch youtube really it's the weirdest thing what do you watch a lot of italian property tours because i'm i'm don't move to italy no well i'm potentially gonna get a an real estate investment in italy um to do uh rentals in italy and then when it's off season have a free place to stay in italy so i'm a lot of italian

things like that a lot of cooking stuff because i love to cook, so I'm always looking at cooking stuff. And a lot of people renovating things. Like we're going to redo our kitchen, but then we want to redo our powder room. You know, we have that like half bath right off from the thing. Heather and I were like, why don't we just, we're smart. We're good, capable people. Let's just fucking demo that bathroom. Oh, fuck, don't do that, dude. Dude, let's just fucking demo that bathroom don't do that dude dude let's just

fucking do it and then we'll just layer in the fucking thing no not yet don't do it dude but how fun would that be i get it but also it's like right i don't know i i like the idea but at the same time it's like you there's certain things that professionals good for i mean i think there's a lot of things that professionals are good for dentistry dentistry yeah although i almost used the thing about a robot robot dentist did you guys see that thing no so there was this article uh and maybe i'll just say this is the next thing because why not um they it they had a robot that performed the first dental um uh i don't think it was a surgery but procedure fully autonomously it was not there was no it wasn't like a remote dentist that was doing it

it was a full-on dental robot that performed a dental procedure whether it was a cleaning or what i mean cleaning would be rad like how great would that be to be able to like go into a fucking phone booth? I always like to raise my hand, though, when I hurt. You ever get those little pain points where, like... Well, maybe they give you a button. Yeah, maybe a button. So, it's interesting.

Yeah, I do. I call them zingers. Zingers, yeah. I do have them. Do you get the little gas, the little nitrous? For cleaning? Yeah, it's like $30 extra. No, I don't even...

That's never been offered to me. No, it's fun. I mean, it sounds fun. Ask them... That's never been offered to me. No, it's fun. I mean, it sounds fun. Ask them to just be like, hey, I'm a little excited. Okay. They give you the nitrous, yeah. Does somebody have to drive you home from that then?

No, no, no. It wears off in like five minutes. Oh. It just makes the cleaning, like the zingers go down from a 10 to like a 6. Okay. Yeah, it's kind of nice. All right.

All right, nitrous oxes. It's like having a little beer before you go in. Yeah, a little shot in a brew before you go. Yeah, I get that. Exactly. Yeah. So it did it successfully though? It was like-

I mean, it sounded like it. The article didn't say, man dies under robotic with no teeth. Under robo table. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Look. Oh, there it is. Yeah. Shit. Under robo table. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, look. Oh, there it is. Yeah. Shit. And it says that he survived, right?

Yeah, I don't know how I feel about that. Oh, there it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's interesting. Like, I mean, this is where it's all going, though. You know, everything's going to be robots in the next 10 years. Well, the funny thing is that, to me, there are certain situations where I don't need a personal touch.

Right. You know what I mean? Like drive through at a restaurant. You know what I mean? Like if I'm driving through, first off, I only drive through like fast food places when I'm like doing a road trip or something and we're like, fuck, we got it. I'm hungry, but like we gotta you know to be honest oh wow look at that there it is oh whoa oh shit doing oh that's like i see fingers in there though

there's some humans those are robots actually that is it's probably a robot that has like robot hands first off that robot is just destroying that man's tooth. Yeah, why is that yellow? Well, because he has fucked up teeth, hence the need of a robot. All right, so. Holy shit. If you broke your leg and there was the option, like human or robot, to do it, what would you do?

Depends upon how good the robots have gotten. Well, let's say the robots are pretty good. Pretty good? Human. Robots are excellent at setting at setting bones fucking robot man yeah same same but you know what i mean like that's the thing this is like you're so anyway back to the quick back to the matt wolf thing and then the next story yeah is actually about ai because it was super cool i just saw this thing on on tiktok actually i was

like oh my god that's rad one of the things Matt Wolfe always says when he's showing things is he always says, and this is as bad as it will ever be. And that always blows my mind. It's like, oh, this AI generation. Yeah, it's not great with letters, but this is as bad as it will ever be. That's right. It will only ever get better. And to me, I go, God damn, that is exciting. Interesting. I've yet to get

the scary. Like, I don't, I don't know. I like, I understand why people get the scary, but like, it's never been like, I'm not, I don't, I don't know. It's like, it's never been that. Like, I don't think it's going to be Terminator and fucking, you know what I mean? So I've never, Like, I don't think it's going to be Terminator and fucking, you know what I mean? Yeah, I'm with you. So I've never, and maybe there will be a turn when something happens and then I go, ooh, my uh-oh just came out. Yeah, I mean, the thing that's about the scary is, and the people that I've talked to that have done these things at a high level that put, I've talked to some people that build the guardrails for AI. Yeah. And what they tell me is that if you take the guardrails off, it will allow you to do scary things.

Sure. And the scary things are mostly like damage to yourself or others. And so you would be able to say like, for example, and this is not me saying this. This is somebody that was a buddy of mine. Yep. He said, I could ask AI how to secretly kill myself without anyone knowing. Right? And it would give me the right chemicals. Got it. Yep. Got it. I could ask AI how to secretly kill myself without anyone knowing, right? And it would give me the right chemicals.

Got it. Yep. Got it. And that would work. And then I'm like, in my head, I'm like, well, there's been a lot of really bad. Do you remember the anarchist cookbook that taught you how to make C4 and shit? Oh, yeah. That was so a big thing when we were kids.

Oh, for sure. But there's always been information out there that can cause harm. Sure. But you have to go hunting for it. Yeah, 100%. I think as long as we're still in that state where it's just like... Where it's not like, hey, I'd like a new eating regime for weight loss. I'm this tall in that sense.

It's like, well, if you kill yourself, you could use this, blah, blah, blah. And you're like, oh, maybe I should think about that. I hadn't even thought about that. Yeah, so I think it's always going to be there. We can't put the genie back in the bottle. Yeah, no. AI is out. Oh, yeah, yeah.

And there's going to be a bunch of bad shit that comes out of it, but, you know, hopefully we can protect our kids like we always have with all the bad shit. It is really interesting. Yeah, 100%. And you're right. I mean, it's like, you know, nuclear bombs exist on the planet. We have figured out how to do that.

You know what I mean? Like, yes, it's scary. And yes, I hope that they don't, you know, we don't shoot them at each other. But at the same time, it's like, if that's what you're worried about, you're not going to be able to live your life. You know what I mean? Right. I saw this video. This guy, it's really cool.

It's sort of circled the internet many, many times. But it's this guy who basically goes, the thing to know is every hundred years, there's only new people on the planet. Oh, that's interesting. Every hundred years. That's what Steve Jobs said. The death is the great change Oh, that's interesting. Every hundred years. That's what, that's what Steve Jobs said. It's a great, the death is the great change agent. Yeah. Yeah.

But, and he goes, and he goes, and aren't we lucky that we get to be on the planet at the exact same time as these other people on the planet? Oh, a hundred percent. Like it's never going to be this combination of people. You know what I mean? Like had you been born a hundred years prior or post, we would never have made this show. You know what I mean? Like, and he was born 100 years prior or post, we would never have made this show. You know what I mean? Like, and he was like, and he was like, think about that. And I think about that now more than I thought I would, because when stuff like this happens, I'm like, we're the only people that are going through this.

Right. We were the we're the only people that will ever go through this you know what i mean yeah and it's it's just super interesting because it's like whenever i'm like oh i wonder what's gonna happen with the with ai stuff i'm always like yeah but isn't that fucking rad that like i get to experience that no doubt like think about all the sci-fi shit that came out in the 50s 60s and 70s and 80s and 90s and we just are doing that. Right, finally. Like video phone calls, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Like every fracking, you know, Total Recall. I watched Total Recall the other day.

Heather hadn't seen it, and I watched Total Recall again the other day. So great. Total Recall is like what? Arnold Schwarzenegger. Is Arnold Schwarzenegger 88, maybe 89? All the people are using video phones. And I remember watching that when I was a kid and going, oh, my God. That's crazy

crazy that's impossible it would net you'll never be able to do a full fit and now it's like fucking zoom is how people do work what do you think it's crazy years okay your wildest prediction what do you think is the craziest shit that will happen? I mean. It'll be like, you're cancer. Yeah, why would I want. No, no, no. That's important to do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We should be focusing on that.

I mean, just like, what do you think is the wildest thing that you think you will see that is like changing. I'll give you my example. Yeah, okay. I think AI relationships are going to be a big thing. Yeah. It's like Her, the movie Her. be a big thing. Yeah. It's like Her, the movie Her. Like the movie Her. Yeah.

But I think it'll go above and beyond, like, just text and talk. I think there'll be, like, robots that you'll be able to be like, you know what I mean? Like, you're walking to a bar and you're like, that's a robot. I mean, sex bots are already a thing. Yeah, but, like, I mean, like, one's standing at a bar and I'm like, ooh, you know? And I'm like, ooh.

And you're like, alright. I didn't know about this whole sex bot thing but I would like to put my penis in that. That very much could be a thing. I'm going to say that the thing that I was thinking was I want to have sex with a robot. No, was

fully regular robots. Your banker is a robot. You know what I mean? I mean, like, you go into a bank, and there's not going to be someone sitting... Nobody's going to go to a bank. Nobody's going to go to a bank. Who's going to go to a bank?

I'm such a Luddite. Would you like $10, please? Yeah, well, first off, I mean, that is funny. That is really funny. You're right, because again, it goes back to every hundred years, it's only new people. I don't need cash. I'm mad when I have to tip. Not mad. I don't like that I have to put my grubby hands on a five or ten dollar bill to give to the valet guy.

I like that no how i i paid for it completely cashless how come i can't bump their fist or like hit their thing no not now no come on i did the most of the valet guys you just go venmo yeah they have the most stuff sometimes they do sometimes yeah but i'm excited for the time when we don't have to go because i feel bad because i don't normally have cash i'm like i don't know thanks to the car but i don't have to go. Because I feel bad because I don't normally have cash. I'm like, I don't know, thanks for the car, but I don't have any money. I always have to have cash. I'll get you next time. No, don't say that.

That's the worst. They just look at you and go like, you're a get you next time guy. Yeah, exactly. Even if you showed back up and went, here's $100. I'm the showed up, I'll hit you up next time guy. They'd be like, no, you just think you're the show time. They might be cool. I mean, maybe they'd be cool with it. So the think you're the show titan you know what I mean they might be cool I mean maybe they'd be cool so

the robot sex thing though is is really fascinating no the reason why I think that it's really fascinating is because it's like back to the robot sex thing

no I it's like you have to imagine that that would be like a thing right so here's what I

because robots are getting the point they showed off a demo last week I saw where it was like there was a robot in your house doing dishes and shit it was all ai driven yep it had a five hour battery life that's all you need for sex butts granted it looked like a robot so it's like there was no attraction well but like you know you put some fake skin on that shit a little silicone like there's there's that is going to be a thing what you've seen the real dolls right i feel like we talked about real dolls on

like yeah dignation episode 10 they're just like lifeless little no but that's you just make that the exterior right and put the robo interior right and that's i mean here's the thing that i will say i think it will be helpful for that sort of segment of the population that just never connects yeah they just can't connect like for whatever reason if it's like social awkwardness or or whatever for those people on the planet to be able to have yeah some semblance of an emotional connection with another being and a sexual connection with another being that makes me very happy that that will happen do you know what i mean i mean just rather than like a dude that's just like gonna sit in his room and never touch a boob yeah you know what i mean like that that makes me sad like

i would i would fucking be devastated if that was me you know what i mean? Like that, that makes me sad. Like I would, I would fucking be devastated if that was me. You know what I mean? And I know that that's a, that is something that happens to a lot of people. Let me ask you a question. Yeah. Five years now we're doing live Dignation. Dignation's back. It's hot. You're in your hotel room. Like you normally do. I have to sleep somewhere. Knock, knock, knock. I sent I sent you two female robots. And they're like, hi, Alex. Can I come in? Is that cheating? Okay.

So here's the thing. They come in. Here's the thing. I'm going to tell you. I have an answer. I have a very specific answer. Okay. It is not cheating up until it feels like cheating.

Meaning, if you were like, knock, like knock knock knock here's a fleshlight first of all i'd be like bro what are we doing but b if i then was drunk enough to go well i mean kevin was nice to give me a fleshlight i might as well fuck it while i'm watching porn no no but hear me out no but here i know i know but hear me out. No, but hear me. I know, I know. But hear me out. This is what I'm saying. At that point, not cheating. It's nothing. I'm sending you a robot. No, but then you send me a robot. And like, let's just say you send me a robot.

And it's like clearly weird, like saying weird shit. And it's like in the face right away. It's like. And I'd be like, first off, somebody got my preferences right. Kevin. Kevin understands the. Kevin sent me. Yeah, and I'd be like,

huh, well, come in, and then I'm going to think about this. I'm going to have an existential conversation with myself in the bathroom, and then I'm going to come out. But I think that there's a... I think there's a... You know, there's like a...

But it can also do other things. You could be like, hey, let's just play video games, and it'd be like, okay. I mean, that's not cheating with a human. No, that's fair. Yeah. Now, here's just play video games. And it'd be like, okay. I mean, that's not cheating with a human. No, that's fair. Yeah. Now, here's the question.

Is she naked? Is the robot naked while we... We'll rip the clothes off. Okay. And we'll have big breasts because I know you like those. That's my thing. That's your thing. That is my thing.

And they're like, hey, hey. He's not around. Yeah. I'm a robot. It's not cheating. What do you do? Could Heather be watching a live feed from the eyeballs? Jesus, would you want that?

I don't know. This is all new territory. I mean, I think if you wanted that, I'm sure they could livestream it. This is an RMTP streaming service. Like, I'm sure it would work. Like, that would, well, yeah, because I don't know if I would want that. in my like that would well yeah because i don't know if i want that just like that's not cheating i'm just watching this robot rail my wife i feel like i don't want this all the other side that's what i'm saying oh my god but then that's the thing if i push certification it's like open it up you're just watching a fucking robot oh my god your wife oh

my god oh i'd be like kevin what is happening so there so there you go if i feel that way then i think it would yeah it would feel like cheating bad idea bad idea i retract everything like it's just a horrible idea but i feel like when you flip it and you think about your wife getting ripped by a robot. Yeah, robo-fiabio. Fiabio? All right, let's move on. All right. NVIDIA. NVIDIA.

Okay, so speaking of AI, this popped up and I was like, oh my God, I think Gamescom, or there was some SIGGRAPH I think just happened. So NVIDIA, as you guys know, or potentially know, because everybody knows about NVIDIA on the planet now instead of just gamers where it used to be, they're a graphics card manufacturer, but also a chip manufacturer, and they basically build the sort of biggest and baddest AI chips. Of course. As of right now. It's been very interesting. Honestly, NVIDIA has been the biggest, like, the most interesting sort of twist on AI for me. Because I've known NVIDIA for years as a graphics card. Dude, I had to remind you. Oh, yeah.

I totally forgot about this. Alex forgot about this. But literally about 15 years ago, Alex and I were the premier head event at the NVIDIA conference. Yeah. And we did a live donation. In San Jose, right? And they gave us the highest-end graphics cards in San Jose. It was so great.

And it was so funny because I totally forgot that we did an actual NVIDIA event. Do you remember I texted you? Yeah. I was like, if we had just invested in NVIDIA stock at that point and wrote it out today, we'd have $28 million a piece. It was like, if we had just invested in video stock at that point and wrote it out today, we'd have $28 million a piece or something like that. It was like something crazy. I was like, oh, goddammit. Don't say things like that.

Yeah. So here's the thing. To me, it's been the most interesting because, A, they're still innovating in the graphics card space for computer graphics and video games. I'm building a new computer, by the way. Oh, my god. I'm so excited. I texted you with Will Harlan.

We're building one. I know. I need to get a new one or at least an upgraded one because I did it a couple of years ago. Fucking love it. Fucking love it. My Corsair 5000D Airflow model case. It's fucking fantastic.

Anyway, but my graphics card, speaking of NVIDIA, is still a 3080. So it's now old. Anyway, but they have done, because first they started kind of doing like hey our graphics cards are really good at ai okay well let's start sort of leaning into that and then really became the the like ai like you know uber company for chips but then they started adding ai stuff into their video game card sort of suite and so like the first one was the one where you can do a,

or maybe not the first one, but the first one I was aware of was when they had this thing where you could do video calls and the AI would be making sure that your eyes were always looking at the camera. In real time. In real time. Yeah.

So you would be staring at your screen, looking at the other person you're talking to, but the AI would be in the background in real time making it look like you were spiking the camera which is crazy and awesome application it looks so real totally you would never know so one of the things that they just announced or at least i just saw i'm not sure exactly when they, I mean, this was August 11th, but, or August 14th, my birthday. They announced this thing called NVIDIA Edify. It does a lot of stuff, but the thing that blew my mind was that it can generate 3D modeled objects in real time. So think about playing a video game,

fully 3D Unreal Engine, everything looks great. You walk in and you're interacting with, I mean, we know this is coming where you're interacting with an NPC, but that the NPC is actually an LLM and AI chat. So you're just like, what do you want to do in this room? You know what I mean? But then you say like, I would like, you know, give me a blah, blah, blah. I'll show you a little bit of this. Like, I'll take a beer and it goes, okay, here's your beer. And the beer is completely 3D generated and meshed and all this stuff okay so in real time in the game look

at this all these assets are being generated in real time yeah and then you can say like oh and put me in my god the environment gaming yeah the environment is being done in real time so it's like it's it's it's it is true so like i'll go what you're saying is let let me just do the TLDR. Yeah. What you're saying is classic gaming. Yeah. You walk into a bar. Yep.

And you say, the bartender's like, hey, welcome to the bar, blah, blah, blah. Yep. And in reality, program there is like whiskey, beer, blah, blah, blah. And you can be like- All of the 3D items in that space were created. Hey, give me a Monkey 47 gin. It's like, oh, Monkey 47. What a great company.

They were founded in blah blah here you go with a bottle that looks just like it and you could and you're like fuck this is like adapting to what i want building dynamically 3d objects in real time and texturizing them to be able to be used in video games and not not only that, forget the real-time nature of it in an actual game. One of the biggest hurdles for a game designer, like let's say you come up with an idea for a game, right? We know that Midjourney exists and AI Generation exists and you can make all these things, but you can make 2D images. Yeah. So let's say you go, oh, I really want this to take place in this room, right?

Like a house like this. I want a couch. You can either go out and try to buy a pack of couches to even see if you like the idea. But think about rapid, not data testing, what the fuck is that called? Prototyping. So rapid game prototyping where you're like, no, I want there to be a table with a chandelier so I can see if this is a fun experience. Make me a table and a chandelier.

And now I can put that into my game and I can test it in real time. Do you think that game development eventually becomes almost like prompt based? So that's already happening where people can literally prompt. One of the things, there's another guy that I follow. I can't remember his name, unfortunately. Sorry. But one of the things that he tests LLMs is whenever a new LLM came out and when Facebook just came out with theirs three weeks ago,

maybe something like that, a new LLM. Lays Llama, yeah. Yeah. He tested it. And one of the first things he tests is, write me the game Snake. Remember Snake from the old cell phones? Write me a game Snake in Python. That's the first question he asks, and he just copies and pastes it into an encoder and runs it, or an emulator and runs it. And it's crazy. It's almost always the game snake that's crazy and he's

playing it and yeah it's rudimentary but like that's a game he's asking the llm to write a game he so you i get what you're saying so if you extrapolate this out 10 years it is what i just described where it's like i want to i'm like an action adventure game yep with like cowboys this is the scene like there is a world within our lifetime where anyone could be able to create a game yeah 100 it's it's limited to your imagination 100 so roblox i don't know if you know much about roblox i mean i've never heard of it you You've never heard of Roblox? Come on. Yeah. But I didn't realize that there was this whole sub-genre store where people were creating their own Roblox games. Yes.

And making a poop ton of money on them. But Roblox, a couple years ago, put this AI coding thing in it where you could literally just ask. Inside the Roblox game engine builder, this AI coding thing in it where you could literally just ask the inside the Roblox game engine builder you could literally just type I you know I want you know particles to be falling out of the sky and it would just go and then you hit play and literally just particles will be falling out of the sky and then you'd be like okay make them you know 10 second intervals and now

it's 10 second intervals okay i want you know add me some enemies and it's writing all this code for you inside the the game engine that to me is i mean it's almost here precipice of some crazy like within the next three to five years for sure oh probably six months yeah dude well because it's always you know what do they say now it's getting 10 times better every six months or something like that. Every second or something. Okay, next story. This is going to blow your mind.

I'm ready to be blown. This is the best story of the day. Okay. So I'm a fan of Android. And you know we've had our differences, me and Android. Yes. You've seen me go back and forth between iPhone and Android. I've seen the

Kevin Rose oscillation. Okay, so one of the things that I have been on the lookout for is an Android phone that provides conversation that would surprise that provides

a little bit of a minimalist interface. Okay. I want it to be more like less tech. Yeah. And more just kind of like just utilitarian, but also like a retro throwback. So you've done this a lot, right? Because didn't you have the paper? No, I had the light phone.

Light phone, yes. Yes, years ago. Right, exactly. So there's a company that's been out a little bit i have a phone that is unreleased in the united states right now and they're letting you show me on the the first time you get to see it so i love unreleased shit there's a company called nothing okay you heard of nothing no okay so nothing i've heard nothing about nothing does minimalist android phones. Okay.

And so they take Android and they rewrite the interface to something super clean and crisp. Mal, you might want to get some behind-the-scenes shots of this stuff. He's getting ready. This is what's called their 2A+. Dude, that's a cool looking back. They expose all the electronics. So this is actually the power charger. Oh, wow. So you actually get to see the full back of that so that's like where the actual coil is for charging it and then they've

got two cameras up front and then this is the interface so it's like super minimal that's my home time that's tokyo time that's date. I can turn on do not disturb. Mostly sunny. So everything, this is permission needed. Let me say allow here. 8,000 steps per day sounds good. Oh, that's here. And as I walk more, the little guy, pixelated guy gets more happy.

Dude. It's all like, so dude, this is a 24 millimeter mono camera. So I can tap that. I'm in mono camera mode. Oh my God, that's amazing. So like I can take a picture of you real quick and then like i've got mono camera mode that's amazing 24 millimeter and then i can define that so i can go in and be like okay widget settings i want this to be you know um oh yeah choose lens choose lens i want 50 megapixel. 50 megapixel. You just took a 50 megapixel picture.

Exactly. So it's like this is the 35 millimeter road trip version. So this is more like that's more of the road trip style. So it's got the like slightly retro kind of. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tend to it, which is awesome. And then they've got like all these widgets so everything is like a widget right so if so it's not like a an app it's they're all so they've got like all these like fun widgets so we're like i want a camera widget on a clock widget i want community headlines

a compass like all these different things right and they're all like pixelated like kind of yeah really cool stuff yes super cool vibe I think this is the coolest minimalist kind of like thing so watch it so I say drag that out boom and then if I had any more appointments that would show me all my appointments right here huh all pixelated and then it's just like if I was say okay you know this is a little too big let me me resize this. You know, you can make them different sizes. Oh, that's cool. So, yeah, it's like it's just pretty awesome. When the date changes, you have to flip it over yourself.

Like it's just fun, you know, and everything's like super fast and clean. I love this because it's what I want, which is minimal, kind of like simple Android. Yeah. But yet you can still access the whole app store and get all the normal apps that you want, you know? So is there any limitation to what can be installed on it? No, you can install anything you want. So it's basically like here, I'm going to give you this really small, really, or not small, but a real minimalist vibe. You can add on the complications if you want exactly

interesting and so they're all like these like really cool little widgets like look at this one here watch this so i'm going to drag out the recorder okay and so i'll say agree to terms and conditions okay record looks good and then i'll say uh actually let me add that out again widgets uh let's see where's recorder recorder here. And then you can just drag it out. And then... Sound for your mic. Oh, select audio. Oh, wait, no.

There it is. Okay. So then I can just hit that, and now I'm recording audio. Like, built into the widget, no extra third-party shit, and it saved it. Interesting. And it's like, but how dope is that? And this is their news widget. Watch this.

Welcome to Nothing News. I'm Tim, the CFO, and I'm here to bring you all the latest on, well, nothing. Because who doesn't love a good dose of nothing every day? Then I said, sir, this is Spudge. Kicking off today's episode, the East Bronx is set to undergo a significant transformation. So that's like Nothing News. That's so interesting. It's like, it's like this kind this kind of like minimalist kind of phone vibe.

Yeah. And they're beautiful. Let me see. Does it have a case? I'm getting a case in the mail. But just so people know, like, I have no investment in this company. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think like this is just like because I thought it was cool.

But now with the cool thing is about with RCS coming to Apple. Oh, right. Now you can text without that weird bubble sms shit the shame of green the shame we're still gonna be green but it's like shame of it's still gonna be green whatever that bullshit is but no stickers cool all right it's amazing dude i think of all the like minimalist phones that you've had, that's the coolest for sure. For sure. I just like, I'm happy that like the one thing that they've tried to do is say, okay, you know, we want you to really focus on being present. Oh, here's one that's really cool. Check this out.

You'll love this. So you can go in here and you can be like, okay, I want to add a widget. And you can say, this one is my favorite, where it is screen time. Oh, yeah. And then I can say, okay, I'm going to drag this little phone out here, right? Okay. And I'm going to put a new screen. And this phone is smiling right now, right?

You see it's smiling? So I can go in, I can hold it down, I can say widget settings and I say, my daily limit should be three hours a day on my phone. So it gets sadder? It's sadder

as the freaking, as I use my phone more. That's so smart. All right, that's probably enough. I think we're done. This has been lovely. Yeah.

This has been amazing. Thank you for letting us drink your wine. It's so fun to do this. I know, God, dude. It's so, it's, yeah, it's very fun. It's very fun. It this. I know. God, dude. It's so, yeah, it's very fun.

It's very fun. It's like a blast from the past, but also it feels like it was just yesterday that we were doing it. Honestly, a buddy of mine emailed me and was like, dude, I'm so excited. I haven't talked to him in ages. And he was like, I'm so excited that you're doing Dignation. It's so great. And I was like, honestly, it felt, it was so interesting because it felt like it had been so long, but also felt like there was no time had passed.

Yeah. It's the weirdest experience. Honestly, that's what you know about good friendships. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, you know, we've always had like a fun, just like chemistry, obviously. Yeah. And it's like, I was immediately like that too.

It was like, I was like, oh, fuck, like go back in it. I know, we had to get a fucking, what was that tennis game that we played in the Xbox Tennis? What was that? Yeah. We got to get some. It was. That was.

It was an Xbox. It wasn't. I thought it was like an Xbox. It was like a. It was. It was like a game console. It was a CD thing. Arcade thing in the.

Somebody from G4 knows back in the day. What was that thing in the lobby with the tennis you remember like freaking paul block would get mad at us because we've been playing tennis all the time yeah he'd come out and be like stop playing tennis we're like it's really fun yeah anyway all right it's fun thank you guys so much for coming and watching uh it's been a hoot as it were. Where should we tell people to go subscribe to get updates? I mean, I think the easiest if you think it's going to come

through is the YouTube channel. The Dignation YouTube channel. Because that's the one thing we know right now we're going to have hands on. We're close. I don't know where we're going to put out the audio yet. I mean, if they're watching this

then they probably have already got a way to get it. Well, but yeah, but I mean, I would say you should probably subscribe to the YouTube channel. We should probably create

like an email newsletter like a sub stack or something. I know the folks over there. Yeah. We'll just do Dignation and sub stack. But check the show notes. We don't know

if we can do that yet, but we'll figure out a way to. By the way, I love that you just said show notes as if somebody's going to make show notes. We don't know if we can do that yet, but we'll figure out a way to. By the way, I love that you just said show notes as if somebody is going to make show notes. No, AI does now. And Mal's. Mal,

Mal's AI. Here's what I do. I take it into Descript. Amazing. I say transcript, transcribe it. Amazing. And then I drop it into freaking AI

and it's like, show notes right here. Oh my God, that is so. It works. Dude, the future. But wait, Glenn, let's hear. I know, that's what I got your show notes right here. Oh my God, that is so... It works? Dude. The future. But wait, Glenn lives here.

I know, that's what I heard. I didn't know. And so we gotta have him over next time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. So we'll have Glenn over. Prager's been here. We'll get the whole crew back together. That's pretty much the entire crew.

Literally just those three people, four people. Is there anybody else? Oh, Keith. Well, but I mean... He watched me. I know, it's lots of things, don't say it. It's all good. Guys, it's lovely seeing you all again.

And by the way, if you've noticed, as in all episodes, as you get closer to the end, more stuff is revealed. See you soon. Hi-yah! Hi-yah!
