Snake Eyes was cool. I always thought they could get together. Snake Eyes is a dude, but I get you. I don't want to undergo circumcision. For this one, I'd have to see a picture before I could weigh in. Of what? No one wants to be chased see a picture before I could weigh in. Of what? No one wants to be chased by a cocaine shark. Oh!

Jesus. I didn't even think about that. And I've had a couple drinks. Can I eat one and just see what happens? Oh, it's calling 911. What's up? What's up, brother? Glenn's here.

The Glenn story is that, like, remember in our episode, we were like, oh, Glenn can't make it. Yeah, we did the MMM. We were like, oh, yeah, he's probably flying drones and, like, rest in peace. And we were like, oh, Glenn can't make it. Yeah, we did the in-memorandum. Yeah, he's probably flying drones and like rest in peace. And we thought he was dead. But the thing was is I thought he was in the Bay Area. Yeah, me too. And so I hit him up.

I'm like, dude, like if you ever make it down. He's like, dude, I live in LA like a few blocks away from you. You're like, whoa, what a change of events. I know. We're glad to have you here brother buddy whoa buddy yeah planning the elder okay so i did not get the beer i wanted to get well first off i have not had like a fancy beer yeah in a very long time this is the number three ranked ipa in the world this is glorious it is glorious and i don't think i've ever had this is this the one that like

people have to like stay in line with that's probably the younger oh that's the younger this is the elder a little bit more hair on this one than the younger but i will say so here's the funny thing that's good kevin it is really good. Shit. So, hold on. Yeah, take your time. Sup it. Sup it. So the number one ranked beer in the world is, according to Beer Advocate, is Heady Topper by The Alchemist. Okay.

Strange story. Hmm. They're made in Vermont. And I had always... Nothing strange about that. No, I always wanted to try this beer. Okay. And Glenn's like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a buddy of mine. And I was always... Nothing strange about that. No, I always wanted to try this beer. Okay. And Glenn's like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He's a buddy of mine. And I was like... What? I was like, what are you talking about? Like, this is the hardest beer to get in the world. He's like, oh, yeah, yeah. We used to live together. And I'm like, what are you talking about?

It's true. This is a buddy of Glenn's. And I went and visited it out there when I was out there for another friend's wedding. And Glenn, you connected us, I think, via email or something like that. Super nice guy. Did you try it? Yeah, I sent him a bottle of wine, actually. I remember when I think we were staying out there.

This was like a few years ago. Yeah, I tried it. It's amazing. I ordered it from a third party because I wanted to get it here as fast as possible. It didn't make it in time but we will have it for the next episode. I love it, dude.

But I'm very excited to try it. So Pliny Russian River Brewing, fantastic beers. They make a younger, I had their younger this year. It's amazing. Sadly, they're going for $150

a bottle right now. Oh. Yeah, I didn't buy that. No. And it's number two. Why would you buy number two? Yeah, come on. And this is number three

and it was like eight bucks. This was eight bucks? It was like nine. Nine dollars. Yes. If you couldn't find it, it's number two. Why would you want number two? Yeah, come on. And this is number three, and it was like eight bucks. This was eight bucks? It was like nine. Nine dollars. Yes. If you couldn't find it. It's still... Ah, there's the rub.

But no, it's not that hard anymore. But isn't it good? Dude, I have not... Like I said, because, I mean, look, at the end of the day, as people remember, I and Slash Kevin were big beer drinkers. Yes. remember uh i and slash kevin were big beer drinkers yes um and then i just got to this point where i was like it just makes me so like bloated and heavy you know what i mean yeah oh yeah and then i to be fair just started drinking more wine and i got really into not into wine like

but like i just enjoy it yeah and i also feel like i'm really good at like getting cheap wine that i like yeah my dad used to do this all the time so my dad used to have i think it was called like mark mark johnson mark mark something and he would get and it was pinot noir and he would buy the magnums and it was just for him and he would just crush it have a magnum open no it'd take like five days right i mean a week or whatever can't do yeah but he would just be like magnum magnum magnum and i was like dude what and he's like it's fine it's good it's i like this red wine and so now i kind of get that because like i'll go to costco and i'll buy like they have like a brunello that's the kirkland brunello

and it's like you know 10 bucks whatever and i'll just buy a case of that. That doesn't give you a headache? No. Everything gives me a headache, Kevin. Okay, so then you're fine. Actually, I did wake up this morning. I had a bottle last night and I woke up this morning and I was like, oh, I don't know if I should have done that before doing Dignation again.

But I'll be all right. He's had 10 minutes of a fight. I'll be all right. That's what I see about beer. Natural ones. Yeah. The first thing Glenn gets here, Glenn gets here like,

you know, he's in the bathroom and I'm like, Glenn, want some wine? And he'd be like, yeah, I'll take whatever.

He's like, do you have any natural wines? Like making custom orders and shit. It's amazing. They're really good. The orange wines are fantastic. Have you ever had any orange wines? Made from oranges?

No, no. It's like actually they use, it's the time of, they of the grape actually in the wine. They take it out early. And so it gives it more of an orange hue. And they're typically natural wines. They're really good.

I'll bring one next time. Yeah, I don't. They're not expensive at all. They're just like. That's the best. They're really good. All right. So we've got good beers to start.

Well, so before we get into it, we do want to say, A, as we said on the last episode, we have decided that we will... And by the way, that's the other thing you don't get with wine is so many burps. So I apologize. We are sponsored by GasX. I know that we're getting older. By the way, GasX is great, so don't make fun of good product. So as we said last week, we were excited. We had such a good time getting together to do this sort of one more time.

We decided, you know what? Come on. One more time. Let's do it a couple more times. That said, I have a feeling that this episode is going to be coming out probably right on the heels of the one that just came out. Probably a little bit late. Maybe heels-ish. Heels-ish. Don't get used to be coming out probably right on the heels of the one that just came out. Probably a little bit late. Maybe heels-ish.

Heels-ish. Don't get used to them coming out once a week or once every two weeks. It's going to be a little bit more. I can get used to it. I'm just not so... You can get used to it, but just be ready to be disappointed a little. So we're thinking about one every three weeks, right? One every three weeks is kind of what we're shooting for.

But honestly, it's been really great not only seeing everybody's reactions but also reconnecting with old fans. I mean, there's so many people that I was just like, oh my God, dude. And old friends,

like people have come out of the woodwork to be like, oh my God, I'm so excited you're back doing this thing. Like, congratulations. It's so fun.

So thank you guys all really for, you know, consuming the content and being happy that we're back because we're happy that we're back.

from old episodes and remembering we got to do some really cool shit. Yeah, no doubt. And it reminded me of one of my favorite moments that we had, which I'm sure you remember. We went to the IndyCar racetrack. With Danica. And Danica Patrick took us on a lap in the pace car, which, by the way, was a Honda Civic

Hybrid. And I've never known that a Honda Civic Hybrid could go that fucking fast. Well, she was like flip-flops. In flip-flops. She's like five. And she just goes. You know I love that. I know. She was totally a you type girl. Well, like back then. five. And she just goes. You know I love that. I know.

She was totally a you type girl. Well, like back then, I mean. Yeah. Tiny. Hey, hey. She's good. She's cute. My favorite, though, is we were supposed to go on a second lap.

Kevin was like, get me the fuck out of this car. No, dude, I don't want to die. I want to stop after this one. He's had it. Let's stop. Let's stop. Let's stop. Let's stop.

Let's stop. Let's stop. Okay. Okay. Let's stop, let's stop, let's stop. Okay, okay. I need to get out of here. Yeah, this would be good. Jesus! Flip-flop! Flip-flop can get stuck underneath the pedal. It was...

There's so much fun. I'm a Crocs. I got new Crocs, by the way. Oh, those are nice. Camo. Camo. Camo. A little Croc action, you know, saving some money.

Yes, saving some money. Yeah, saving some money. Because that's what you need to do is get crocs to just save some money. You've seen the wine we've been drinking on these episodes. Yeah, that's true. That is true. I apologize. I apologize for drinking all that fancy wine. I've still got my flip-flops. I think I might be buried in my flip-flops. You know, if Crocs

So let me write this down ten and a half Crocs nine and a half ten So those we go to 10 10. Yeah, come on. Okay Crocs Okay affiliate all right affiliate Save that money. Oh my god. All right. Let's get into this. Let's do it. We have we just started so three This this the story was like one of the stories that just baffles my mind Okay, the viral Chase Bank glitch is actually a crime and could land you in prison. So this happened a while ago. I started seeing

this all over the place. Essentially what happened was somebody figured out bank fraud and thought that somehow it was an ATM software glitch. So what this guy did was he just wrote a check to himself on a bank account that had no money and deposited into the ATM at Chase and was like shocked that there was funds available. And so he withdrew those funds and was like, went on TikTok and was like, on tiktok and was like bro there is a software glitch happening right now it's an infinite money glitch write a check from an account that doesn't have any money and then put it in the atm and they'll let you take something out they don't even know that's called they're giving you a little credit thinking you're not

going to scam me it's called check fraud yeah literally called i think it's called check kiting is literally what it is where you write a check that you know won't have any funds, deposit it in a bank or cash it in a bank. How much did he get though? Only like 100 bucks at a time

or something like that. They don't give you the full amount. No, he started doing it over and over because he thought it was like World of Warcraft where you can buy an item for like five gold from some vendor

and sell it to another vendor He's like taking advantage of this now before they close the hole. Yes, he's like, and it went viral on TikTok because he was telling people, guys,

I've figured out money. Go to a bank and steal it. And they're all like, dude, this guy's unlocked the code, man. Let's go. Everybody, write these checks.

And they were just, and everybody, and then all of a sudden, he went back on TikTok and was like, the bank is really mad. The cops are going to be looking for everyone's heads. It was their fault.

It was like, how is it their fault? No, that's called fraud. It's literally check fraud. Like, Steven Spielberg made a movie about that. So he got arrested. I'm assuming. Look, to be fair, I didn't follow up past the virality of the moment. I'm assuming maybe not arrested but probably

has to pay back. If you chase though you gotta have to be like you know he's not playing with a full deck. So it's the bank so the bank is like that guy's an idiot. We should probably give him money. No but no not give him money. That guy stole money from him. Well let's ask him some questions about the

states of the United States. I just mean like he clearly thought that he had found like a loophole. You know what I mean? Like it wasn't like he was like meaning. It's a bank. So something happened to me one time. You stole money from a bank? Yeah, almost.

Oh. I had no money. This was like $2,000. It was broke as hell. Okay. And I logged into my bank account there was a hundred and like twenty thousand dollars there they had wired somebody had wired money into my account that was went to the wrong account oh that is that is an interesting i normally have like a hundred

dollars you know in my bank and i was like do i go into the branch do i just take his $300 out? Cause that was max. You could take out a time. And so I, I took a picture of it. No, I don't think I take it. I don't think we had smartphones back then. I took a picture. I don't know.

I got the ATM receipt because I wanted to say someday I will have this. So I got like, that's cool. Print it out. Like I was like, one day I will have this. And so I, I got the receipt,

but I didn't do anything. And then literally the next day it was gone. Wow. They wow they messed up that's so so that's a different thing if i discovered check kiting yeah but if i had gone into the branch and took it on 50k and be like hey uh just trying here to get my money out like you still go to jail for that i don't know if you would have gone to jail for that because you could have been like oh i thought i won some lottery and there was a direct deposit did you buy any tickets no i just I thought I won some lottery and there was a direct deposit. Did you buy any tickets? No, I just thought that. Nobody would have done.

I was just under that impression. One of my favorite jokes from Animaniacs. Oh, shit. Have you remember Animaniacs? Of course. I got the Animaniacs. One of my favorite jokes is they get trapped in this elevator. Oh, jeez.

And the maintenance man is like working on the thing. And then like 10 minutes goes by and they're like, is is somebody gonna come and help and they're like oh you guys are still in there and he goes yeah we're still in there and he was like i was under the impression you guys got out he's like why would you think that he was like i was just under that impression you still in there it was our indication that you got out oh Oh, really? What gave you that indication? That's just an indication we had. Dude. That's fucking funny as shit.

Dude, how are you an Animaniacs guy? I was a child of the 90s, Kevin. First of all, you could have been watching Transformers. Was. G.I. Joe. Was. DuckTales.

Was. Smurfs. Smurfette was hot. I know, but Smurfs was more my sister, my older sister. What? She was more into Smurfs. I thought you meant Smurfette looked like your older sister. I couldn't be into Smurfette.

She looks like my sister. What? No, no. I was just like- You remember my whole blue sister. Did you ever have crushes on animated characters? Of course. Princess Allura from Voltron?

I don't remember her. Fucking hell. That was like my thing. I liked, who was the one on G.I. Joe? Lady Jane? Lady Jane. Yeah, Lady Jane was hot. She was sassy too. She was sassy.

Snake Eyes was cool. I always thought they should get together. Snake Eyes was a dude, but I get you. I totally get where you're going. You don't know that Snake Eyes was a dude. Oh, that is true. Because they never took their mask off. Well, then he was a very athletic woman.

They had Snake Eyes. Snake Eyes. You knew what was underneath there because of Snake Eyes. Oh, gosh. All that stuff was good. I remember I had a sleepover, and we were watching Voltron. God, kids are so dumb. What's the name of the Voltron woman?

I want to look her up. Princess Allura. Princess, kids are so dumb. What's the name of the Voltron woman? I want to look her up. Princess Allura. Princess Allura? Allura. A-L-L-U-R-A. Oh! Oh, shit. Yeah, dude.

Not that one. That's the new one. That's the one. Oh, why couldn't you like... Classic. I could like both. I'm just saying. That's the one that little Alex, you know, boner boy.

That's where that was at. Oh, yeah. You got the blue eyes. So I had... Kids are so fucking dumb. He went to sleep. I stayed up a little bit later watching bullshit. I mean, I think it was like Godzilla versus Mothra or some shit, which was awesome.

And then the next day I was like, dude, you missed it. You fell asleep. They like late night. There's like some like Japanese porn that they played with like Voltron chick. And it was like all porn. It was great. You like saw everything. And he was like, what?

And I was like, yeah, you fell asleep. You missed it. And he was like, fuck. You told that to a friend? Yeah. Because I thought it was, because again, kids are stupid. I don't know why. It never happened.

No, fuck, of course not. So that's who you like. The pink helmet chick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh,'t know why I thought that. It never happened. No, of course not. So that's who you like, the pink helmet chick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. She's kind of cute. I mean, of all, like, there's so many, like Daisy Duke from Dukes of Hazzard. Oh, Daisy.

Well, that's a real woman. This is a real woman, kids. That ain't no snake eye. Dude, first of all, don't hate on snake eyes. She's a princess. I love snake eyes as a male person to look up to. First of all, snake Eyes was a badass. Well, they've made so many movies now.

It's clearly a dude now. I know, I know. Could have been a woman then. Anyway, long story short, if you're getting free money, especially from a bank, it is illegal. No bank is just going to be like, I'm going to give you some free money. Unless it's high interest checking. Unless it's high interest checking. Unless it's high interest checking. You never know.

All right. So, okay, here we go. Next story. My girlfriend really wants me to get circumcised. Okay, hear me out now. Okay, first off, you're married, so I don't know who this person is. This is a 27-year-old male from the UK. Okay.

He's an atheist. Okay. As one is, that's fine. Yeah. His girlfriend is 31 year old Christian from Africa has expressed that she doesn't like him uncircumcised and wants him to undergo circumcision. They've been dating for four months and things have become more serious and she's been insisting on the matter. Initially, he said, I thought she was joking, but lately, she's made it clear that if they're going to have kids,

which you can do either way. That still works. And want to marry me, you'll get this procedure done. I'm at a loss because I've repeatedly told her I don't want to undergo circumcision. Citing the risks, I don't want to undergo circumcision. I mean, that's... Citing the risks, I don't know how many risks there are about it, but... I think there might be more risks

as you're older, when you get older. So, for this one, I'd have to see a picture before I could weigh in. Of what? Yeah, I was just about to say... Of the woman! Of the woman! Yeah, maybe his penis is, like, super fucked up

and it needs to get circumcised. No, no! Like, if she's, like, a 10, you're doing... Not of his penis is like super fucked up and it needs to get circumcised. No, no. Like if she's like a 10, you're doing none of his penis. If she's like a 10. No, but like if she's kind of. I get you. What's the long term, yeah, viability of this relationship? I hear that.

Sometimes you're out of your pay grade, right? Yes. And if he is a two and she's like eight and a half, you do choppy choppy. I get that. I get that. No, I totally get that i get that no i totally get that i see what you mean also see a picture of his trunk though because it could be excessive foreskin like just yeah it could just be an issue thank you glenn for the excessive foreskin i'm so glad to have glenn back it's great he brings the reality to it because there

could be excessive foreskin that needs to be taken care of. He knows the medical ramifications of foreskin. He's clearly been a doctor in a previous life. Okay, so question. Yes. Is everyone here circumcised? Yes. Yeah. Same. Okay.

Okay. Okay. Well. I just laughed. I just laughed. How softly you did that. I know. Is everybody here circumcised? and then concern in your eyes.

I know. Yeah. And once everybody concides, it's safe. Because if somebody said no, I'd have to go to them and be like, well, let me ask you a question. I get that. Here's the real question. What if they flip the script and somebody said, hey, I don't like it. Reattach my foreskin?

Could you redo a reattachment procedure? I mean, I don't want... Here's the thing. I think this is exactly where this guy gets. When you're young and shit happens to you, you know, like if you get circumcised when you're young, like who... You don't even remember it. I don't fucking know that. But any conscious decision where

it's voluntary to go, I would like to be unconscious and someone cut my penis. That is never the choice. Well, first of all, I have voluntary I'll do a little overexposure here. Oh In in the spirit of dignation. Yeah. Yeah, you know, I like to keep shit tight Mm-hmm, you know as one should we keep our junk tight like we don't want Amazon calm like going. Yeah growing Yeah, so when i trim down and i

thankfully i have a razor now that protects against that but back in the day you would cut your dick sometimes with a razor yeah when you're trimming down there it hurts yeah it's not a fun thing yeah it really really and that's just a nick could you imagine taking off like a huge fold? Well, first off, whoever said that like balls is like indicates like strength has never had balls hit by a small, small thing. Like literally flicked in the balls is one of the most painful things. Oh, yeah. If you flip like that, you could drop to the ground. I don't know why that's like been the like, oh, yeah, it takes balls.

Dude, you know those slap competitions that they have on YouTube? Yeah slap off. They should do that with By the way, that would so I would love to see the cut of like the first one the guys like got his hands I buy this guy and the guy just goes what that guy dies. They never do it again That guy dies on the floor and they're like this was the worst idea I don't know why we would ever do it. I just closed my deck of your zipper for the first time. Oh, yeah. A month ago.

For the first time. Did you cut it? It was just a little bit of blood. Yeah. So you were zipping fast and you hit it. I was driving. You were driving? Why was your...

I don't want to know. I don't want to know. I don't know. I don't know. Sounds great. I'm glad you survived. I'm glad you survived. Okay, so Glenn was driving, caught it in the zipper, as one does when they drive. Yeah.

What was that? What was that? Something about Mary. Remember when he got... He like zips his like junk on the thing? So anyway, back to this guy though. Let's get serious for a second here. I know we've been joking around.

He's 27, she's 31. She's probably more experienced. I think as much as I disagree, I mean, A, I kind of feel like anytime you're in a relationship with somebody that is trying to force you to do something that is so extreme and outside of your comfort zone

and that you're very clearly against, that's a relationship red flag. To be fair, he's probably only against it because it hurts. I don't know, I mean, it's his dick. Like he's 27, that's what his dick looks like. That's fair. You know what I mean?

That's like somebody being like, okay, I wanna date you, but you've gotta sew a vest onto your penis for the rest of your life. Like what the fuck? It could be like breast implants. Yeah, yeah, like breast implants. Oh yeah, like if you were fuck? It could be like breast implants. Yeah, yeah, breast implants.

Oh yeah, like if you were like, you have to get breast implants or I won't date you. Fuck you, guyer. Yeah, fuck you. So, I think we just landed.

Yeah, yeah, don't do it, my friend. Good luck to you, sir. Yes. I would, I think the consensus amongst the elite here and knowledgeable medical

is don't do it. Is don't do it. Don't do it. Unless you're a two and she's a ten. Yeah, if you're a two and she's a ten, sniff them.

Yeah. We can all agree on that one. Yeah, you're right. All right. Okay, here we go. Next story. Next story. Hyundai's wild sci-fi sports car

is slated for production. Have you seen this thing? I have not looked at it purposely. Did not look at it because I knew you were going to bring it up. Okay. First of all, how much beer have you drank so far? I have not looked at it purposely, did not look at it because I knew you were going to bring it up. Okay. First of all, how much beer have you drank so far?

Uh... Chexie's? Yep, you're way behind. What are you? Where are you? I'm almost done. I'm down at the bottom, very bottom. I feel like that's not what that actually looks like. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'm done now. I'm finished.

Okay. Well, I was talking about circumcision. Okay, fair enough. And it makes me thirsty. Uh, okay, so... We've talked about, uh. Okay, fair enough. And it makes me thirsty. Okay, so we've talked about electric cars. Yes. We both own electric cars. Yes.

I'm very bullish on electric cars ever since I had an electric car, and I love them. But I also feel like the innovation in the electric car space is really cool. It's good. But I also feel like, like you know like we talked about this with tesla like the designs are pretty much bog standard most of the cars are going to be the ones that are going to you know chasing aerodynamics and efficiency in electric cars most electric cars are going to start looking about the same because it's the optimal you know aerodynamics yeah

hyundai announced a couple years ago Hyundai Hyundai Hyundai Hyundai Hyundai whatever I can never know how to pronounce it correctly but I also want to do it right anyway they uh introduced this car called the Envision 74 oh shit I'm just looking at this right now this is it dude that's it looks like the back to the future car yeah it looks like a delorean but here's the crazy part it was going to be a uh i mean they may still make a version look at that look at that car dude i know the problem is they never look like this when they get to production no this is the car they're making this that's the exact production yes this is the production model this is not a concept can i take the fin off of it i mean i'm sure you can do whatever you want once you get it but here's the thing they first announced it not a concept car. Can I take the fin off of it? I mean, I'm sure you can do whatever you want once you get it, but here's the thing.

They first announced it as a hydrogen hybrid. So it's going to have two hydrogen motors and an electric motor, but they've just now said that they're making an all electric version. Yeah, no shit. Where do you fill up with hydrogen? There's only 59 hydrogen fueling stations in all of the United States. Yeah. I know.

Like nobody does that. But there's a bunch. There's like 129 or 119 hydrogen fueling stations in Korea. In South Korea. So that's why they made that. They made all of it for the States. But here's the crazy thing. First off, look how fucking cool this thing looks.

But here's the thing. Hyundai is quietly becoming my favorite electric car company. They have the Ioniq 5N, which looks baller. Super cool. I haven't seen this. 5N. The Ioniq 5N.

Okay. Which is their, like, N is like their, you know, AMG or their, like, M. Okay. But, yeah, look how fucking cool that is. I don't know that that's that cool. It's cool. That's cool? No, keep going. I mean, that's sort of, yes. Yes know that that's that cool it's cool that's cool no keep going that's i mean that's sort of yes yes but that's the one what's the powder blue one

i mean but think about it for like it looks like a ford fiesta yeah but it's a fucking fiesta anyway but long story short guess what they just announced like six seven days ago what's that no This, this is the Hyundai Heritage Series Grandeur. They're making a 1986 salon car. Dude, that is hot. And they're making it into an all electric fucking beast. Holy shit. Right? Dude, I will be first in line for this. Right for this right like this to me is like dude these

people are fucking doing it this is like like when i saw it are they really gonna make that yeah when i saw it i was like this is gonna be i at first i thought it was like a men in black like yeah like stunt car that you could get but dude think about pulling up in that all electric looks like a fucking 96 fucking salon car one of the cars i've been desperately searching for my entire life has been the car from the matrix with the suicide door yeah yeah yeah yeah um what kind of car is that that is a it is a matrix suicide doors car oh yeah um there it is lincoln continental oh yeah i love that i mean but but not i mean it's a little far off but it's it's similar it's it's not dissimilar to that car do we got all electric brand new like fuck yeah yes i'm telling you hyundai is like

they're slowly becoming my favorite electric car company and it's like i i just i want it i want it okay what's hyundai stock at right now over the counter 63 it's a 60 i don't know what the market cap is they're they're not trading on our exchanges i don't know but all i'm saying is the fucking Envision 74. $42 billion. Oh, damn. They're not nothing. No, dude. No, no, no. And they're like, because think about it.

Samsung is huge in the battery world, right? South Korean company. Yeah. Hyundai, South Korean company. South Korea is dope. Have you ever been? I've not. I've been.

It's so good. I know. I've got to walk back to Japan. Let's do a double live dignation there in South Korea done Else if you want to sponsor by the way, how great is that that we're just like yeah We should start doing live donations and and in like Asia But dude if anybody works for a Hyundai and once it's get us on day just say Honda You don't try and Hyundai. It's not Hyundai. Hyundai. Let's ask Glen. Glen Winnow, how's it?

I would say Hyundai. I don't know about- Hyundai? Hyundai? Hyundai? Hyundai? No, Hyundai? Hyundai.

Hyundai? I mean, Hyundai doesn't sound too bad, actually. I mean, we're just making up names now. I know. It is Hyundai. I did speak- Hyundai. Hyundai.

Hyundai? Hyundai? Hyundai? Did you catch that? Fuck yeah. You haven't drank your beer yet. That's why I was able to catch it. I just saved your life, Kevin.

But long story short, I'm just loving that these guys are going out of their way to push the envelope and bring back that nostalgic vehicle. Like, I want the nostalgic vehicle. I actually was talking about doing, of like starting a company where I would get old, what's it called? Classic cars and then convert them into electric. Oh, dude.

Hyundai. What is it? Hyundai. Hyundai. See? What's that? Hyundai. Yeah, it's just Google.

Google pronunciation. Okay, Google pronunciation. But is it Google pronunciation in South Korean? Yeah. Oh, What's that? Hyundai. Chat GPT? Yeah, it's just Google. Google pronunciation. Okay, Google pronunciation. But is it Google pronunciation in South Korean? Oh, that's a good point. Oh, wait. Hold on. American pronunciation. Yeah, do it in South Korean.

It just says British. I'll take British. I'll take British. Okay. That fucking car company. You're like, oh, that's an interesting way to put it. Hyundai. Hyundai.

No, Hyundai. Hyundai. Hyundai. Hyundai. Hyundai. No, high-undi. High-undi. High-undi. High-undi. So, we were all wrong, and I was the most close to wrong. Okay, so, what's next?

But by the way, we're all getting these cars. 100% we're getting these cars. I would so roll up to like fucking Chick-fil-A with that. Dude, in two seconds. Dude, Chick-fil-A, any filet.

Any filet. That is the dopest car I've seen in a long time. Yes. I literally, I just, I put this thing together last night. I was like, oh, I should talk about that Hyundai that I like because it's super cool and fun. And then I was like on Instagram and I was like, what the fuck is this? And I thought it was a joke. Like somebody had just like made like, you know, like put it together and be like, what the fuck is this? And I thought it was a joke. Like somebody just like made

like, you know, like put it together and be like, oh, so I looked it up and no, it's here and I was like, dude, this is even freaking cooler. It's so freaking cool. So what they're doing, and then we'll get off this topic because I'm just so excited because I love cars and cool stuff, is they're starting to do this thing called the Heritage

Series and I have a feeling this is not the last car that they're going to produce. I'm also interested to see if they do, if they're limited. Like if the numbers are limited, like they're going to make $1,000, $10,000, you know, whatever. Because I want to get myself. Okay, so I have a Heritage car that I looked at. And I will admit that I was looking to buy this. Okay.

Less cheap than the Hyundai. Well, let me just say, let me put it to buy this okay less cheap than well let me let me just let me just say let me put it let me put it to you this way i was like okay this looks like a cool car okay i i think i would like to own it okay and i want to know like what it would what what it would cost yeah because it it looks really dope uh i think it's this one here let's see here explore okay so this is the uh valor oh mal with the cell phone look at that look at that sexiness is it valor or is it velour it could be velour so that looks like a vintage like almost like almost uh old school like it's an aston martin

yeah it's an almost looks like an old school like um almost like a cobra like a yeah yeah yeah but like yeah look at that glenn that's fucking gorgeous yeah it's freaking gorgeous so i was like okay i gotta get this like look at that can. Can we get it? So I got a hold of a rep at Aston Martin because, I don't know if I should even say this. I've had an Aston Martin in the past. A long time ago. A long time ago. I'm not embarrassed to say that. They were great cars.

And I was like, I want this car. And Kevin, the good news about cars is you can buy them. No, no, no, no, no. So I went, I looked, and they said... Is it like Ferrari where they won't let you buy them unless you buy some of the ones? No, they're doing like 100 of them. Oh, so it's super limited?

What do you think it's going to cost? I mean, 500K? 1.4. Oh, gee, come on. Yeah, yeah. You're in Bugatti town. That's not a thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So no go. But anyway, beautiful car. All right, next... Also a beautiful condo in Santa Monica. Very true. Next story of the day, cocaine sharks found in Brazil. Okay. Okay, I have questions.

I actually found this story. Are they made of cocaine? Well, I'll tell you in a second. Are they cocaine distribution sharks? I'll tell you in a second. I found this on Digg, actually. Oh, cool. And Digg, if you're listening, if you sell me the site back, I will mention more of your articles.

Oh. Okay. I've been trying to do that, and they have not won a sale yet. Oh, cool. All right. So they took these sharks, and they brought them in for investigation. Was it because they assumed something had to do with the drugs? No.

Or were they just interested in shark checking? They check for mercury. They check for stuff every once in a while. They get sharks in to see, like, how is the population doing? How's the sharks doing in Brazil? They found... Let's get some money at that. They found that they have 100 times higher concentrations of cocaine...

Than 80s party goers. In their bloodstreams. Than normal sharks? Or than like, so they're party sharks. These are sharks that are like, I got to get up in the morning and check the checker. So dude, first of all, no one wants to be chased by a cocaine shark. Oh, I didn't even think about that. Oh my God.

Think of the ramifications. That'd be great if it was just like, first off, I'd love to see the Jaws trailer. It's like... Like five times the speed? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they're just like fucking burning calories. Like, you look at this guy, he's skinny as shit. Bro, that dude doesn't sleep.

Dude, that dude has been like going nonstop for like like a month i saw that guy burning man like he has no fat on his body at all that shark has been that isn't it lean so so somehow these they don't know how these sharks are heart though they don't know how these sharks are doing lines of cocaine but they they apparently like oh so they don't know why these sharks have cocaine they think it might be like smuggling getting into the water yeah like well aren't they always aren't there like always like news reports of like a child found a bundle of cocaine on the shore of so they're not putting it in their bodies as like yeah they're not it's not a recreational right exactly yeah no no no meaning like they're not like smuggling it in or anything like that. Like, you know, there's a lot of shit like that.

Yeah. Cut open humans and put them in their guts and shit to smuggle. Yeah, yeah. Like the movie Lucy, which is also very, which is actually pretty cool.

I'm saying it. It's good. Actually, it'd be really good in your fucking thing. Here's the question though. You go to Brazil. Yeah. What's up?

Are we going to Brazil? Have you been to Brazil? Yes, I have. I went there for a bachelor party. Fucking amazing. Oh God. It was great. Very hairless um so we went what nothing so we went to i went to visit for bachelor party uh it was fun uh i'm glad you came back i made it back alive but i will say um if they had on the menu because because they sell shark at things, cocaine shark.

A little upsell. A little upsell. A little $15 extra. Oh, add on. Add on. Hammerhead or hammer nose. I get that. Would I have cocaine shark?

You try it. Maybe it would be like sushi and cocaine maybe like sushi cocaine no because i was thinking about that because you remember when we were in japan it's not doing drugs then yeah the both blowfish the blowfish yeah remember how like fucking lips were tingling well we thought we might have died well i thought i might have done yeah because first off it was the worst oh my god i was so tired drunk like it was all all the things it was all amazing we had a great japan's the best yeah but yes no the fugu like i could imagine like oh you have you have shark and you have cocaine shark and if you have cocaine shark you just get a little like yeah like a little pep in the step yeah yeah a little coke in the hole i mean i kind of i kind

of feel like that should be a thing they should sell at sushi restaurants in Brazil. I mean, if they're discovering it, maybe they just do a little test. But it's not like you're getting full cocaine. It's like you're just a little sharky cocaine. Yeah, it's like it's not full cocaine. Yeah, I know. It's just shark cocaine. People

don't do cocaine. Just in general. Just in general. But if you're having it in the shark? Yeah, maybe in the shark form. These sharks are fit. Every time you see like a video of them....off the coast of Brazil, tested positive for cocaine. Scientists say it is the first time... That dude is just like...

...drags have been detected in free-ranging sharks. Oh, free-range. ...at the Oswaldo Cruise... That guy's been hitting it. Look how skinny he is. That's the same guy two years later his nose holes are blown the fuck out i mean look they're mostly cartilage so now they're just empty yeah exactly a sack of meat

you know a bunch of muscle good on them they're having a good old time and you know that would be hysterical if you're like snorkeling and you like come up to a shark who's just doing cocaine. Holy shit. He's like shoves it away. I don't know the seashells and shit. Just saying. Some like crazy fucking lobster on the side. Just saying. You owe me 20 bucks for that ball.

Oh god. It's so great. Nothing like cocaine sharks to bring back dignation. Okay so this is not necessarily a story. Okay. Did you finish your beer yet? Yes.

Is it done? It should be. I got red wine for you. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's my own blend. It's my own blend. Is it actually your blend or is it just called Rose?

It's called Rose Rock. It is a place made in, it was made in Oregon. A place made in Oregon? No, it's actually a was made in Oregon. So I'm excited for you. A place made in Oregon. No, it's actually a really good pinot. So I'm excited for you to try it. I would like some. I have an excellent glass.

Watch it, watch it. Don't spill yours. No, this is fine. That's okay. People get freaked out when glasses are like this, and I'm okay with it. Some of the comments said that they were freaked out. Yeah, I know. Oh, really?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure. I cannot, I could not, I could not. People don't like it when glasses are sitting like this. Well, first off, A, it's your couch. Well, I know, but also. I would be do two yet. Oh, yeah, for sure. I could not. I could not. People don't like it when glasses are sitting like this. Well, first off, A, it's your couch. Well, I know, but also, number one, a stain-treated couch. Do you not get that? Do you get that?

This is stain-treated? Yeah, of course. Oh, yeah. You get little spraysies. I don't know if it kills you or not, but. Oh, great. Oh, look at that. Oh, Jesus.

Kevin. Growfest. Casa de mañana. Okay, I don't know why I have this. Wrong glass, Glenn. No, no offense. No offense. Grow Fest. Casa de mañana. I don't know why I have this question. Wrong glass, Glenn. No offense. Can you grab us a different wine glass? Thank you, Glenn.

Just a wine glass, not a beer glass. I'm going to have drank wine out of a... A BroFest glass. A BroFest glass. All right, so what's your story? Here's the thing. What language did you take in high school? I didn't.

You didn't have any language requirement in high school? I took Pascal. Oh, you took Pascal. Like, literally, they let us take computer science. I love you, Glenn. I love you, Glenn. This is great. This is great.

Can you hand me that mouth? This is fine, Glenn. I love you, Glenn. This is great. This is great. Can you hand me that mouth? This is fine, Glenn. Yeah. Thank you. It's just the most ordinary glass. There's literally like a thousand other wine glasses. All right. This is good juice.

Bro, I'm excited for the juice. Let me know what you think of this. The juice is loose. This is Rose Rock from Oregon, which is- Oregon Pinot? Come on, man. Yeah. Try that.

I think you'll like it. All right. So Duolingo, take your time. Duolingo. So this is what I was going to say. Cheers. Is it good? Can I try this up?

Sure, sure, sure. It's your wine, it's your glass. I'm just visiting. That's really good. Yeah, I know, I know. Cheers. Okay, so you didn't take a language in high school. I took, I was always bad with languages.

Same. I took Latin for two always bad with languages. Same. I took Latin for two years. How did you take Latin? You're bad with languages. It's like the hardest one ever. No. It was actually easy

because most of the words are like the word. You know what I mean? Because we're all Latin languages. Anyway, so I took Latin for two years and then I took French

for two years. And then I took French in college for a year. Can you speak any French? Si. Say, like, I love Dignation. It's so great. Oh, God, what's I love?

Okay, you don't have to do this. It's not going to work. Yeah, je t'aime Dignation. Oh, there you go. Je t'aime Dignation. Oh, that's cute. So not a ton, because they kind of go in and go out. But because of all the stuff that I'm sure people know

because I've been talking about it on the show with the Italian citizenship and going to Italy and falling in love with Italy and all this stuff, I was like, you know what? I'm going to download a language learning app, and I'm not going to judge it. I'm just going to start the app and do the things that it says to do,

half an hour a day. It's all fucking Candy Crush now. It's crazy. It's literally like awards and fucking streaks and badges and shit, and I'm like, this is amazing. Fireworks and shit, yeah. Talking, conversations, getting legendary gold shit,

and I was like, this is awesome. I mean, I know that. i've been doing that for nothing no benefit except adrenaline in my head for video games for video games yeah like candy crush it's like there's nothing i don't get anything you play candy crush oh god i stopped but yes really oh it was so good it's really addictive anyway So I downloaded Duolingo. And I'm now on my 18-day streak. But not only that, a friend of mine turned me on to this thing. And I wanted to know if you... I mean, you probably hadn't heard about it, but it's called Slow News.

No. So the whole concept is you can consume your news, your daily news, in a foreign language, but they talk slowly. So it's literally slow news Italian. And so what it is is that every day you can consume your news in audio form, but it's in Italian, but they do it very slowly. Isn't that a great idea? Yeah. Genius. For people.

Yeah, I'm sure they do English for some people who are just slow humans. People that are kiting checks and not knowing it. They're like, you shouldn't steal from a bank. Oh! Why the fuck was I stealing from a bank? Thanks for saying that slowly. So they have Spanish, they have French, they have Italian, and they have German. But isn't this great?

Yeah, but also I kind of wish they just had like bluey in Japanese. Because I like bluey. I like bluey. Do you ever watch bluey? First off, they do have bluey in Japanese. It's bluey with Japanese turned on. Oh, okay. I'll do that.

I'm sure they have a dub okay all right but again they're gonna be talking really fast right i need them to slow down so this is the thing man but i was like i've really decided because i'm like i had a friend of mine that was like oh i did a year streak on i think she was she was learning spanish she's like i did a year streak and then i realized i couldn't like have conversations or talk and i was like i'm totally not like i'm not judging it like i'm not trying to be like oh well you know if i can't say where is the this because i've been doing this for 18 days then like fuck this thing it's like no i'm just gonna do it for like three months every day and at the end see what it is you're like i'm no pressure to me like if it doesn't

work who gives a shit it was like 80 bucks for a year like and it's fun i mean you know is it worked well i mean it's doing it's yeah it's the problem i have with duolingo and apps like that is that like they always take me down this route of like taking me in the shit where i'm like never gonna say it they're like watermelon and i'm just like, never going to say it. They're like, watermelon. And I'm just like, I'm like, when the fuck? I didn't know you could learn Aquatis. No. I'm just like, when the fuck am I going to say watermelon? Like, I want to go to Japan.

Yeah. And I want to say, where's the bathroom? Yeah. Can I order extra sake? Yeah. I'll take more of that fish. Yeah. Like, there's certain things, like, I don't want watermelon. So Duolingo is actually doing that it starts with like ordering a cafe yeah you know what i mean so

it's like croissant you know how do i get a coffee with sugar and milk that's where we need to go and then it's like navigating a city like where's the bathroom where's the church of piazza like where's the the you know restaurant stores stores, pharmacy, like all that stuff. Do you have this in extra large? Like things like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dispensary, la dispensaria. For Glenn, of course.

Cosa la dispensaria, vero? And so anyway, for Glenn, where's the dispensary? You could just check the hippie Glenn selection. It just turns it off you're like can you microdose this pizza uh uh but anyway but i was like i was like that's it's it's been interesting for me because i was like i'm not a big language guy yeah but i also was like i want to know i want to learn as much italian as i can learn without actively like hurting my brain because to be fair i never liked school didn't like it yeah beginning that it started and i hated it i

powered through just to fucking get done with what my parents said i needed to do to be able to be like i don't have to ever go back to a school but i also love learning it's such a weird dichotomy like i love i love new like learning new things but I fucking hated school. I loved all the, like, well, when I got to college, I loved all the social stuff, but, like, I was not a school kid. Yeah, I got really bad grades until I got into computers, and then it just, like, went from there. But even then, like, I literally went to college

to have someone tell me that I already knew shit about computers. That's right. That's literally what my grade was. I know. I remember going into those classes, and I know more than the instructor there. So, I got a new phone.

Newer than the last phone? This is the brand new Pixel 9. Just came out two days ago. First off, how many fucking phones do you need? Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. I need to practice. I need to learn. You need to learn. I need to learn the phone. First of all, have you ever felt a phone that felt more like an iphone than that oh yeah that is an iphone it's got some

weight to it but that's like the form factor look at the camera though how crazy it looks that's fucked up that's cool i feel like i could go to mars with that yeah at what point at what point is it i'm just trying to think of how to say this. This is an iPhone. The form factor is an iPhone. I know, it's crazy. At what point is it like, did they just give up and go, let's just make an iPhone with our shit in it?

No, but now it's got... But you know what I mean? It was always sort of like, but this is what the... No, but to be honest, iPhone is copying more of their shit because you can pick this wherever you want. Check this out. It's got Gemini built in now by default. So watch this, iPhone is copying more of their shit because you can pick this up wherever you want. Check this out. It's got Gemini built in now

by default. So watch this. Who is Alex Albrecht? Look how fast that was. That was fast. Alex Albrecht is best known as an American TV

personality, actor, and podcaster. Oh, I am that guy. He co-hosted the popular tech show The Screensavers and podcasts

like Dignation. He's also recognized for his... Is he circumcised? Let's just see. It's going to be on my Wikipedia now. I can't provide personal details about people, including Alex Albrecht. This kind of information is private and not publicly available. You know what? That was nice. Thank you.

It's not publicly available until now. Holy shit. It's built into the OS. So I don't like it. What do you mean you don't like it? You know, it's just like there's still some issues and it's cool and all, but like, I got to say, so the nothing phone, which I know we've come back, we talked about this last time.

The one thing I didn't show you about the nothing phone that I like, we talked about how minimal it was. Yeah. I never showed you the ringtones. Oh, you did not. So check this out. This has LEDs built into the back. Okay. Watch this. Watch this. Fuck. Is it making, oh, it's not doing videos. It's not doing audio. Hold on. First off. Is it doing any, any, any like visuals? No, but... Oh, Jesus. The Casio keyboard called and wants its samples back. Hold on. Hold on. It's fucking great.

Oh. Can you see now? Oh, yeah. Yeah, check this out. That's kind of dope. First off, that sounds like somebody falling down the stairs with bones. Hold on. These on a second. Hold on.

These are ringtones. Yeah, no, I get... That's the one. Okay, hold on. What about this? This is machines. Okay, that sounds pretty straightforward. That's a telephone. That's pretty dope.

I mean, it is dope, but I literally feel like I could do that if I threw a Casio keyboard down the stairs. How about this? That is someone falling down the stairs. Oh, this... Ooh. Ooh.

You gotta admit, that's kind of cool. By the way, that's a dolphin having sex. And that's... He's finished. You gotta admit, that's a dolphin having sex. And that's, he's finished. You got to admit that's kind of dumb. I love it, dude. I totally love it. Yeah.

So anyway. By the way, that was the last time I had a fucking ringtone. My phone is never on. I think Android should be cooler like this. Like not like, this is like the stock Google stuff doesn't do it for me. And also Apple AI is coming now. I got the beta on this one now and you can move the icons around

to wherever you want. So is Siri, and Siri has the, what is it that Siri's going to be using? Is it Catchy BT? No, no, no. Well, it's got that as a backup, but it's called Apple Intelligence.

Apple Intelligence. It's its own LL. They'll get there, but yeah, they're leaning on that. But anyway, this story was about the Pixel 9. I'm going to return it. And then, I'm going to you're gonna get my money back and

then also volkswagen is introducing chat gpt into their cars and then siri announced they're doing claude sorry not siri uh alexa is doing claude i mean we talked about this last time it's a war it is a war but at the end of the day i don't know if there's going to be a meaningful difference to an end user on agree the difference between claude sonnet so you don't care chat gbt why would i because they're all going to do essentially the same thing they're going to talk to me via the whatever product i'm going to have right so like i will say i am i am excited for... The Alexa is such a weird device. Right. It's such a weird device.

It was so revolutionary when it first came out. It was like... Well, I mean, like, to my parents. Oh, yeah, yeah. My dad, literally, I remember when he first got an Alexa, he was like, dude, I can ask it to play any song, and it'll just fucking play it.

Oh, for sure. And I was like, yeah. Well, that's the internet. You know what I mean? Like, welcome to the internet you know what i mean like welcome to the internet dad but he loved it and then they got a little they get to the point where they're like it's the guy's spying on you he's gonna think so they put them all away oh really oh yeah and i was like oh they just stopped using them which whatever i mean they are listening

they're not listening but either way i have them all throughout the house but i literally do essentially two things one i do every day if i need to which is i ask it to turn the lights on or off that's it pretty straightforward pretty straightforward and then the other thing is if i ever have like a question or like i'm like how long should i have like in the kitchen because we have in the kitchen i'll be like oof these hard-boiled eggs have been in the fridge for a couple weeks. So I'll be like, hey, Alexa, should I have this, you know, should I eat these eggs? Does it work? Sometimes.

Watch this. So this is why I'm saying I'm excited. This is the new Gemini. Okay. I've had some hard-boiled eggs in the fridge for a couple weeks. Should I eat them? It's going to be great. No, you should not eat hard-boiled eggs that have been in the fridge for two weeks.

They are likely spoiled and could make you sick. Perfect. It's best to discard them. Well, I'm going to push it a little bit. Oh. Yeah, but I like to roll the dice a little bit. I'm a little risky on that sort of thing. And I've had a little bit. Oh. Yeah, but I like to roll the dice a little bit. I'm a little risky on that sort of thing. And I've had a couple drinks.

Can I eat one and just see what happens? Oh, it's calling 911. No, it's not. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Oh, man. What? It's poisoning with symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. Amazing. What?

Oh. Amazing. Jesus. Please rate this exchange. One to ten. Fuck off. But the thing with, as we know,

Apple will not, they'll say, I'm searching the web for a should you eat. So that's what, sometimes, it's going to get better. But sometimes with Amazon, as we know, Apple will not, they'll say, I'm searching the web for, should you eat? So that's what, sometimes, but sometimes with Amazon, it'll be like a knowledge.com post says you should only eat them after it's been a week. You know what I mean? So I do do that periodically, but it's not good. It's not bad.

Well, so Claude would have been, that would have been great if they were like, oh, please don't eat that. I'd be like, oh, okay. Okay. Alexa, I will not eat that. And then I would throw them away. I were like oh please don't eat that i'd be like oh okay okay alexa i will not eat that and i would throw them away i mean i do that so clod is better watch it's been a couple weeks and i've had some hard boiled eggs in the fridge can i eat them so clod i think clod is better to determine if your hard boiled eggs are supposed to have to eat consider the. Have they been stored in the fridge continuously? Is the shell cracked? Do they smell?

Do they have any weird appearance? Generally, hard boletes can last about one week in the refrigerator. After two weeks, there is an increased risk. I feel like you're reading, and so I'm already like, if I have to read. Yeah, I know. It'll get better. I'm not going to do it. Anyway, so. If I have to read, I'm not going to do literally.

The interesting thing about this this though, which I guess the whole point of the article is that ChatGPT is going into Volkswagen. Oh, yes. Yes, it is. So, there's going to be this like war

where like we're going to get in our cars, we're going to have one AI there, we're going to have our phones going to have a different AI. Yeah, but what does it matter to you? I guess it really doesn't. Why would you give a shit

what the underlying tech is? You're going to talk to your car, you're going to talk to your air conditioning, you're going to talk to your refrigerator? You're going to talk to your car. You're going to talk to your air conditioning. You're going to talk to your refrigerator. You're going to talk to your wife. You're going to talk to your children. You're going to talk to your accountant. You're going to talk to your bathtub.

It's all going to be connected. You're just going to be talking to everything. Yeah. And by the way, I, for one, am excited. I am too. I like talking. I'm pro AI. I'm a fan.

Well, so let me ask you this, though. Okay. What are the use cases in the car? I mean, it's mostly just like, is there a better route? And then, you know, trivia. By the way, when you, trivia? I'm stuck in traffic. Ask me some questions.

I don't know. It can do whatever you want, you know? Who was the third president of Guam? So, so i mean that's the whole thing about the ai is like you can just like have fun with it while he's in the car yeah but i mean like well here's the thing so i will say one of the things that i'm like i the the air conditioning in a car is so fucking important it's like especially in california especially when we're like in the middle of a hot yeah we're in the middle of a hot street right now the tesla air conditioning is not great no it's like especially in california especially when we're like in the middle of a hot yeah we're in the middle of a hot street right now the tesla air conditioning is not great no it's just not great and it's like it's such a no amount of ai is gonna like fix that

no but i was thinking like what would i what would i be driving and saying like what would i want to do and i think i would i would do things like you know hey car hey car, or Volgi, whatever the Volkswagen is called, I don't know. Yeah. Hey Volgi, I'm high, can you knock it down a dip? So I've had- And let it just be like, dip, dip, dip. So I had Rivian, and I sold it.

I didn't like it. You sold your Rivian? I had so many issues with it, but- You had issues with your Rivian? So hold on. It had Alexa built in, And I could say to Alexa, I could say, hey, play me my Pandora station of this.

And it would do it quite well. I could say, what is the forecast? It would do it quite well. Okay. So it was like, it was getting there. But yeah.

You're right though. There's not a whole lot of things you need to do. What are you going to say? And to be fair, like cars have had voice activation stuff for so many years. And it's always been so janky and wonky.

Yeah, yeah. But it's just like, it would take longer for me to tell the car to turn the fan down two notches. That's right. Because I don't know what the command is that they're listening for. I don't know what the fucking thing is. That's right. I say it, and it's like, heading to Pizzeria Mango. And you're like, what the fuck are you doing?

Dap, dap, dap. But if it's an AI, you can be more general about it. You know what I mean? You can be like, ooh, the fan's a little high. Gotcha. Also, you could say things like, hey, I'm heading home.

Is there a place where I can grab a slice of pizza on the way home? 100%. That kind of shit's going to be amazing. So this is one of the things that I've always said about car navigation. With all maps, and maybe somebody has done this and if so please email us or text me or text me well if you know me text me uh but email me whatever fans at dignation show i'm driving down the road i'm on my way to san diego to see my folks

i'm there's a navigation. It's like I'm fucking going 80 miles an hour in that direction. If I open Maps on my phone, and I shouldn't because I'm driving, but maybe the Tesla's driving, whatever, and I ask for a McDonald's, Taco Bell, a Starbucks, a fucking steak place, whatever, do not show me the one that's behind me that i'm driving 80 miles an hour away from that's gonna get fixed but i mean but this is the thing that it's like

that's the thing where it's like hey i'm on my way somewhere what's in between like yeah but i think it's better you use downs how what well you just say like okay you're driving you're by yourself right yeah i want to start how long is the drive two and a like, okay, you're driving. You're by yourself, right? Yeah. I want to Starbucks. How long is the drive? Two and a half hours. Okay. So you're driving. You say, hey, play me some new music I've never heard of before. I'm interested in this genre. Okay.

Hey, my girlfriend is not, my wife has not talked to me in a while. Like, hit me up. I've been sleeping in the guest bedroom. Could you maybe just sing to me a little bit? This is one of our favorite songs. Extend the,end the steering wheel. Yeah, this is totally not weird. Drop the steering wheel down

and go in and out. Open the input-output port for my penis. Okay. Open the gas station. Next story. I got to fill my tank. All right, next story.

There's a tank to be filled. All right. Why story, next story. There's a tank to be filled. All right, all right. Why are singles in Spain putting upside-down pineapples in their shopping carts? I don't even know what an upside-down pineapple is. It's a pineapple that's upside-down. Okay, fair enough. Here we go. So, by the way, this was really good.

Yeah, there's more. Mm-hmm. Mm. was really good yeah there's more so i've known that pineapples was connected to um like uh open couples that are looking for like a third on like especially on like those like sexy adults only cruises swingers swingers thank you yeah i was like i was looking for the word mountain what they would do is they would put like a pineapple, an upside down pineapple sticker or like a magnet on their door, which meant that if you're on a cruise and you saw that, they'd be like,

those people are ready to play. Now, did you know about this? Yeah. Oh, it's common. It's pretty cool. It's like,

well, remember when was wearing the black ring and we called them out and we're like, Oh, do you know about the black ring? Ooh, no, but I'm,

I'm thinking about, don't get a black ring. Well, no, no I'm thinking about... Don't get a black ring. Well, no, no, no. Now I will never. I mean, you can if you're into that. I'm not into anything. If you wear a black ring... A black wedding ring.

First of all, why don't you wear a wedding ring? Are you single? No. So if you wear a black wedding ring, that means you're like, you're open to... No, it's not as like definitely... As the upside down pineapple. Yeah.

Oh, upside down pineapple means like coming knocking. Swingers. Swingers. Yeah. They'll do like upside down pineapple yeah oh upside down pineapple means like come knocking yeah they'll do like upside down pineapple pins they'll do upside down pineapples in their um uh in like grocery stores outside in the world but so so what happened was spain in spain a bunch of these singles were just like this is fucked up dating apps suck is there any other way that we could do this and they started doing this thing that kind of went viral on like spanish tiktok which is they would go to this grocery store hello hello they would go to this grocery store called uh mercedona and they would go between 7 and 8 p.m oh shit and they girls that were guys would take a pineapple from the fruit section turn it upside down put it in their cart and then they would hang out in the wine section

and other people would come into the wine section and be like oh i see the pineapple they want a date like they're looking for a date and they would like bump carts and be like oh excuse me and if there was some connection they'd be like yeah let's go get dinner and go get drinks weird yeah right but it's also like fucking cool like it's you get you outside right you're not on your phone it's not like a dating app where you're just like fucking going through tinder and being like no no no i guess this guy or i guess right right like you're out it's like shopping because the whole foods has kind of been that way too. Really? Well, I mean, like if you go to Whole Foods and you're just like. Whole Foods?

No, I mean like. Is it dating place? It's been a thing where people pick people up. Like they go to Whole Foods and they're like, oh, you're getting macaroni. Like they do shit like people. You like macaroni? You've tried to date at Whole Foods. I like macaroni. Have you ever dated at Whole Foods?

Have you ever dated at Whole Foods? I've been propositioned kind of. See? I'm fucking glad. But Glenn is exactly what people would want in a whole foods you know what i mean like if you're going to a whole foods to pick up a guy that's the guy for sure because he loves the vegan food yeah he'd be like i have a gut allergy let's rock you're not vegan anymore i mean i didn't even know you were vegan are you kidding me He was vegan for like freaking 50 years. We used to try and like bet him to eat meat.

Oh, I do remember that. I do remember that. Do you eat steak now? Uh, I mean, I have to be really picky with what I eat because it impacts me the next day. Cause you feel it. Yeah. Even emotionally.

Interesting. Like you cry real bad? I'll cry the next day. Interesting. Like you cry for the animal? I'll cry the next day. No, if I eat something that is like factory, it's not as much with chicken as it is with beef. Interesting.

So you want clean meat. So you find like grass-fed from a local source. Like a good slice of cocaine shark would be great. But that you know was harvested humanely using only the highest quality cocaine holes. To entice them in. To entice them in. Oh, you want some shampoos?

No, no, I want some. That stuff's delicious. Oh, yeah, you have some more. Have some more, Glenn. Oh, yeah, thank you. Yeah, no problem. All right, so the interesting pineapple thing, I'll have to try.

I don't know. I would have to try that next time I've seen it. I didn't mean. Just went like. That's an interesting story. I have to go watch that. I will have to experiment with that. I will see what my upside down pineapple brings.

You know what would be kind of funny? You just do it. Just be like. No. No, because then people will come up. That's like ghost lighting. No, but then it's like. It's like.

Hi. And you flip it back. Yeah, you're like. I'm just here for pineapples. Ma'am, could you please leave? I'm just here for pineapples. Here, Glenn, take this, and you can have a little bit, little tasters. Yeah, that's delicious. All right.

Last story. It's got to be about Japan. And when you talk about Japan. Oh, I got one after you, but go ahead. Talk about Japan. Okay, second to last, penultimate story. Sometimes the things that I say. you ready for this yes so first off we all know japan has a work ethic that is very singular insane it's very specific by the way one of my favorite um michael keaton

movies from the 80s was gung ho with getty watsanabe fucking love that movie i should actually watch that movie again it's been so long and it was all about because remember in the 80s was Gung Ho with Getty Watanabe. Fucking love that movie. I should actually watch that movie again. It's been so long. And it was all about, because remember in the 80s, it was all like, oh, the Japanese are coming to take our jobs. You know what I mean? So it turns out that even now, the 12 hour workday is like norm. Like if you get a job, 9 to 9. That's like minimum. Minimum. Holy shit.

So working in Japan is still like fucking crazy. And there's this whole hierarchy. They call it the salaryman. Yeah, the salaryman. Do you remember when we went to Japan? You remember that table next to us with that dude who was like fucking literally passed out? I've been back like 20 times since we went to that trip. And I've seen a lot of salarymen get hammed they they go they go hard yeah well one of the things that i find completely crazy is that

sometimes enough times that there's now an industry around this people will literally go and like tender their resignation and the boss will just be like, fuck you, no, rip it up and be like, fuck you, blah, blah, blah, and just hound them, like, go to their house. What? Like, will not let them quit their job. Like, to the point where there are now companies that have started that will help you quit your job. What the fuck?

Yeah, and by the way, the people that come to the, like, help me quit my job, it's the third time they're trying to quit their job. Like, it's like the ultimate gaslighting. Like, the boss just doesn't let them quit their job. And they're like, what the fuck do I do? The guy, like, follows them home and will, will like not let them quit like what do you do respect dude it's literally like you know like when a kid when you're like a kid it's just like you're like you got to do this and the kid's like no i'm not gonna do it it's like i'm out i'm out

it's like an angry dad you get back on the football field i don't care what yeah it's like and if you stop you're like i'm not gonna get back on the football field it's like i don't care what, yeah. And if you stop, you're like, I'm not going to get back on the football field. It's like, I don't know what I can do to follow up with that. Right. So literally the employers are just like, I don't know. Because they're worried about the employer squirreling them for any other job. Interesting. They're worried about, there's this whole sort of hierarchy, which I really do think is great. And we could use a little bit of it, of like the sort of like which i really do think is is great and we could use a

little bit of it of like the sort of like you know um how about work respect to your elders and respect to the people that work above you you know also just work in general work in general yeah it's a little loosey-goosey here which is great because it gives us you know a lot of heads up and you can quit if you want to quit but how crazy is this so there's now like a handful of companies in japan who's literally their job is to help you quit your job and they pay them yeah to help them quit their job like a lot of people have this problem though where it's like you can't and this is something that i've learned i need to get better at as like boundaries with like either you know professionally or personally right like that circumcised guy.

He needs boundaries. Yeah, I get that. That is very clear. I get why this should exist. It makes sense to me. I had a girlfriend that wouldn't let me. She wouldn't let you quit? She was like, no.

Did she follow you? She said no. You had to go with her. Are you guys married now? and she was like, no. Oh. Did she follow you? She said no. And then what did you do? You had to go with her. Are you guys married now? If she says no, Glenn, you can't break up. No.

It's the power move. It's literally uno reverso of relationships. How much longer did it last? I ended up moving. He moved. You're like, well, if I'm not in this city or this state, you can't be married. You know what?

Oh, my God. That's amazing. If all else fails, just fucking move to another state. By the way, any of these people could move to Korea. That's why he used to be in San Francisco. Now he's here. Yeah. He's like, I'm going to break up with you.

No. Okay, cool. All right. See you tomorrow. All right. I'm moving to Los Angeles. Last story No. Okay, cool. All right. See you tomorrow. All right. I'm moving to Los Angeles. Last story. Last story.

Last story. Okay. So AI. ...to our next interaction. Is here and involved. That was weird. The AI just responded to me. So AI amplifies false memories.

Ooh, I saw the title of this. I wanted to know what it was. This is fascinating because we are entering a world where we're not going to be able to understand what is real and what is made up. Obviously, we're going to have a lot of that, but also in that, this is where I really get upset with the new Google phone, which I don't like at all. Google has added some features to the new phone. Okay. That, let me give an example. Okay. Let's say Glenn takes a picture of us sitting here, right? Okay. And he wants to be in the photo. Okay. Oh, okay. There is literally in the photos app right

now, you can say, add a picture, add a person, and he can go and sit down. You can get up, take a photo, and now the three of us are sitting next to each other. But that moment technically never happened. And then they got the magic eraser shit where you can erase people out of the background. I hate this shit. So here's why it's even more nervous.

It's even worse than that. So I think we talked about this on Dignation way back in the day. There was a study that was done where they took photos and photoshopped people in places that they've never been and they talked people through like, oh, well, when you were in Paris and they were like, well, I've never been to Paris. And they were like, no, no, no, you went to Paris in 2012, blah, blah, blah. And it was like, no, I've never been to Paris.

And they showed them pictures and they would not only start to remember being in Paris, they would start telling stories to the person about being in Paris and the memories of being in Paris. They're making it up. And it all just happens because that's how our brains and memories is. So the fact that now AI is going to be generating these images and experiences that you didn't actually happen. People are totally going to be thinking that that happened.

And you're erasing people out of your history. You're removing people from the background. I just don't like it. And also, check this out. Last one. This is after seeing this,

I'm starting to think that AI should be regulated. Look at this video. Oh my god. Oh my lord. I mean, Elon looks pretty good there. He looks like he's having a great time with his... Look at Zuck. Oh yeah. Oh my god.

Obama, the drone. Glenn, you love that shit. That drone action oh my god yeah oh is that Kamala and Obama I couldn't tell

they put it on the horse oh they rock it Kim Jong Un dude this is that's amazing. Yeah. Glenn, did you make this? Here's the thing.

Here's the thing. Here's the thing. A, yes. It's literally like Wag the Dog. Do you remember the movie Wag the Dog? I don't. So it literally is about them, about the government, it's literally like Wag the Dog. Do you remember the movie Wag the Dog? I don't. So it literally is about them,

about the government creating a fake war to, like, there's some, like, you know, whatever, governmental, like, affair. There was something happening that they were like, we need the American people

to be, like, thinking about something else. And so they hired this Hollywood producer to put on a war. And they, like, invented this conflict between two people. And they, like, shot all this, like, footage on green screen. Like the moon landing. Not like the moon landing, Kevin. Jesus.

Did you, you met Buzz Aldrin at my 30th birthday party. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's great. He definitely would punch you in the face if you thought. He's deceased now. What? He's dead. But did Buzz die? Are you kidding me?

It was at your birthday party, dude. What? Yeah, he's dead. No, he's not. Fucking hell, dude. I was like, how did, I was like, I would know. I feel like that would be information that was disseminated to me. Fucker. Sorry.

He's dead now. What? Fuck. Okay, now. You're good for buzz. Oh, my God. You just gave me a buzz. Jesus, Jeff.

Okay, sorry. He's dead now. I thought you said AI told me that. AI did tell you that. Okay. Anyway, long story short, that's the type of stuff. The one thing that i will say the one good thing is if i saw a video even if it was less like cheesy and like artsy as that

yeah of putin being like gay people are cool i'd be like wow that's ai you know what i mean like there's a certain part now where hopefully people will look at the content yeah but five years five years from now dude it could be way different. But again... Even that, six months from now. Yeah, but think about it. If six months from now, half the shit that you see is fake, right? You're going to start to go, it's probably fake.

Right? That's the thing. But then you get to the check-cashing people and you're just like, are they really going to think about that? That's my biggest... It's not my biggest fear, but a fear that i have about the world writ large is when people who are at the point where they could believe all of these like conspiracy theories yeah get to a point where they start believing things that are very like would cause them to be violent or cause them right like, like, lash out.

Well, I mean, it's already happened, even with just, like, subreddits and shit. Yeah, dude, it's the fucking Wild West. But also I go back to... Great movie, really good book, no country for old men. There is something to be said about the fact of, is it really the worst time in human history

or is it because the worst time in human history or is it because we are over 40 that's a great way to end the show no but it's because like the the whole thing of no country for old men is it's that the world always seems like it is worse than it has ever been no two older hey listen i was gonna tell you older people in the last week i i heard about a um uh mrna vaccine come out for lung cancer that looks really promising to cure lung cancer that's fucking like there's there's a bunch of really good shit coming out so i'm not all doomsday but like you're right in that we're gonna have to have a readjustment of society's like belief system.

A hundred percent. And understanding whether or not they should trust something immediately or not. Yeah. Because at this point, I think it's very clear. It's very clear. And by the way, I think that's what has really sort of caused this big schism in the United States is this whole concept of people believing stuff that they hear, whether, you know, it's. Listen to this. Yeah. I had a buddy get his phone hacked okay oh and he he got all his photos leaked out there like you know

yeah and like there's definitely some like dick pics and shit and like stuff with his he's like it's significant but no because the thing why would you put that on your phone everybody has my phone no fuck no dude i'm gonna wash my phone i'm a fucking i am a fucking lockbox you don't have anything i had i've been like nope i mean i do but not on my fucking phone what do you on your computer i on places that are secure what's secure everything you put like external usb sticks and shit for that shit i don't know what i'm gonna say or not say but long story short somebody somebody can hack my phone and they're not going to get dick pics of me.

Oh, well, I got lots of shit on my phone. Anyway, my point is that if you get hacked, my buddy was like, mine is AI,

you know? I mean, that's true. It's true. That's actually literally true. Actually, if he was smart, what he would do

is he would go use AI to generate a bunch of like dick pics and him fucking release them ahead of time just release them yeah

just release them just make himself well endowed yes and then when people see the other ones they'll be like oh those are fakes

those must be fakes exactly that guy doesn't have a 26 long exactly yeah alright good times

that has been this episode of Dignation Dignation.show is the URL you will get please follow our Instagram because there will be really funny clips

of our best episodes and stuff like that Glenn great to have you here and Glenn is gonna is gonna fire up the drone and do a 360 fly around us he's been drinking champagne

champagne and mushrooms holy fuck so there it is come closer no I don't my teeth he get close, but he hasn't been drinking. Oh my god, it's actually really nice. It feels good, the air. Feels good. He's really good. He's great. He's a great- better than you trying to land the helicopter in my head. I mean, yeah, but if I had fucking VR and I could actually see what I was doing.

Look at that. He's a pro. This is amazing. I know. We should pay him. I know. How much do you charge? He can't hear us. It's too loud.

All right, until next time, take care of yourselves. Get circumcised. No, don't. It's not. Don't do it. You don't have to do it later. You don't have to do it later.
