Seeking Derangements - SD 510 - You Don't Love Sprite

Episode Date: July 1, 2026

Hello Seekers! Ben here, today Jacques, Hesse, and I discuss the heatwave, how AI will make you stupid, and take a freaking HOT BUTTON political QUIZ!

Welcome, everyone. You're listening to Seeking Darrangements. This is a free episode. If you want to hear bonus episodes, go subscribe to our Patreon. Patreon.com slash seeking derangements. We're taking a trip back into the freaking laboratory. I have a quiz today for Jock and Husson. Dr. Professor.

He's back. Oh, my God. I've missed you. Tell me, what's your research and laboratory been like for all of this time since we've been shut down due to some things I can't talk about legally, but we are back open. Dr. Professor, you always can't talk about something because of a legal case. You know what you.

Period. She'd keep that lawyer on retainer closer to her mouth than a retainer. Yeah, kissing your lawyer. Kissed. I would totally watch that series. Kissing my lawyer. Tonight on TLC. Period.

It's like the end and a colds-in-show. Okay, well, Dr. Professor, how are you doing, Hesse? I'm good. I just got back to New York City, finally. She finally rubbed the buffalo sauce over her eyes to look into her Chinatown future. I heard it's like crazy hot. It's like heat weight everywhere. It feels like 111 degrees here today, which I love.

I like literally feel feels like a warm embrace from Mother Nature. I freaking love it, although my car is not starting because I realize it doesn't start when it gets over like 90 degrees. So I'm kind of fucked. But I'll be in New York later this week. So I don't need. go damn car. It's going to be like 100 in New York later. Love. Without even the humidity. I tried to understand the what does it feel like temperature in Lafayette but did not specify

temperature. So when I googled what does it feel like in Lafayette, it said to me, it feels like a warm, vibrant brand of rich Cajian and Creole culture. I'm like, that's not telling me. I want to compare. It's amazing. I love that AI is making it harder for you to Ask it to Google basic questions. It's like once an episode, now, Jock will ask, you know, Google AI what time it is. Yeah. And get a four-paragraph answer and be more confused.

What's Ben talking about? Well, I just want to know what it feels like with the, it currently feels incredibly hot and oppressively humid in Lafayette, with a real field temperature soaring well over the 100 degrees Fahrenheit mark. Period. It feels like 100 and 105. Let's get started with the quiz. Yeah.

This is, well, I'm not going to tell you. what it is exactly, but I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what direction we're headed in. The first question, I did this last night, so I won't be answering them with you. I know my results already, and I was not surprised by them, but this is on a pay attention here. Strongly agree to strongly disagree. Continuum. Continuum. Period. Trans women are women and trans men are men. Oh, strongly agree. Strongly agree. Is that your own? answer, Jacques, really?

That is my answer, as I do believe in trans rights, Dodley. Well, yeah, of course. I mean, I would strongly agree on that as well. How many genders are there?

Gender is a spectrum with many possible answers. At least three, don't play games with me, kid. I don't know. Two, or two and transgenderism

is a mental illness. Period. I'm caught between I don't know and gender is a spectrum with many possible answers. Because those seem like the same thing to me. You know what I mean? Right.

One's just more politicized than the other. Yeah. So I'm going to say, I don't know. I said I don't know as well, Husser. Period. Yeah. I wish there was one for, I don't care because I literally don't care. But, of course, my safety answer is gender's inspection with many possible answers.

Yeah. I think when anyone's asking you to count something, it's a trick from the get-go. To name a certain number. get you to be wrong. They're setting you up. Well, because you're going to say seven, then they're going to say eight. Mass. This is not fair. I don't know.

I hate math. You know who's a math. I don't know was the official answer that I chose. And also, you know who was a mathematician? Kirstie. And she didn't know a goddamn thing about genders. Okay. I don't know if that is.

She's not trans. She's a lesbian. Oh, she's a lesbian. Okay, period. Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian. People. Strongly agree, agree. I don't know. Disagree. They are. And it's a good thing. Strongly agree. I'm going to say also strongly agree. Right. We're starting up pretty simple here with these. I think, and this is in quotes,

alternative girls are one, sexy, two, trashy, three, no opinion, four, pretty, or five. It's wrong to objectify women in a political quiz. I'm gonna say sexy Because I don't think it's wrong to objectify a woman I ain't know It's a hypothetical woman I'm objectified And she's alternative hypothetical I said no opinion

It's not my place I Because you don't like pussy Yeah I'm gonna say I'm gonna say pretty Because that seems nice It's nicer to say It's the nicest one

Yeah I'm gonna be nice I support affirmative action programs To fix systematic injustices in society. This is strongly agreed to strongly disagree. I'm going to say, uh, strongly agree, I guess.

I am for the rights of others and I'm going to advocate that I answer for... What does this mean? What does this mean? Um, affirmative action, doesn't that give more minorities? The fact that the, that we have something set aside to help them. who's them the marginalized people that the programs develop for okay

I think today is not the day you'll twister I'm just helping you think through your own value system I mean I'm thinking for my own value what is that have to what is that against my value system you know

it's good to have people you know make you question why you believe what you believe but you believe this you strongly agree I think that there's probably a huge

very tangible number of marginalized people because of people getting white preferences and that there should be probably a program that focuses on giving minorities that same position. If I'm wrong about what the program is, then... I agree with it, too. Look, I woke up and drank a big old glass of Democratic liberal, so try me, bitch. Hey, period. It sounds disgusting. Yeah, it was horrible.

It was a no-fiz Celsius new flavor. Okay. I think this one might be a little bit more contentious. Yeah, thorny. Hate speech is free speech. Strongly agree to strongly disagree. I would strongly agree on this one. I know it's like boomer, free speech absolutist coded, but I am that kind of person in theory. Of course, these arguments, when they're made in practice, all become extremely right wing. But I still do think it's in a perfect. world should be protected. I think so too. I'm going to say also strongly disagree. Strongly disagree. I obviously I for for for my

vocabulary sake I strongly agree with this sentiment. Well you've done you've dabbled in hate speech or hate painting I guess were you. Yeah totally religious figures I mean I'm definitely committed I want to hate speech laws I'm sure oh yeah I'm not going to explain but I will say that I did recall when you said hate painting a different thing besides the Muhammad saga. Were you painted a swastika? No, it was it was

a dare of what we could get away with on a painting on a group painting with a guy that's dead now. Rest in peace, Ryan Richard. But the painting got bought. This is probably when I was like between 18 and 19.

18 and 20. The painting was censored And someone came and painted over it with white paint on the spot What was the painting? The character of a person looked questionable to the people People thought it was This is going to sound so much worse

Unless it's going to sound where I'm not going to specify Because it will sound even worse if I specify Okay so it is just really not bad It was it It wasn't right Okay Was it like Hitler? Everyone is going to be assuming you may embrace of the character.

No, I mean, no one, no one shot Robert Crum. So one mistake, but it got censored, but it was like, I was 18, I didn't mean to. Okay. But you think. It's your life, too. Yeah. That's fine. But I think Freely is still, but you're glad it was censored, it sounds like.

I'm glad that it was censored after the fact and that there's no evidence of what it looked like before and there's no. Until now. and now the people's imaginations are just you know allowed I just imagine the worst thing yeah yeah okay so okay wow that's horrible

but you were 18 you know yeah actually 17 okay not even legal 17 he was basically a baby when he did that because I was right around

when I went to jail and also it was right it was like Ryan disappeared and then like a year or two later he was dead. Did someone kill him for the painting? No. He died a heroin like every other person.

Period. God rest his soul. He was a nice guy. Beaches worldwide. Period. My country requires a mass deportation of most, if not all, immigrants. This is strongly agree to strongly disagree. Strongly disagree on that one.

I'm not, that doesn't sound right to me. I am against not letting people into parties, so strongly disagree. Period. I think everyone should be included. Right, right, right. It depends on the immigrants for me, but, you know. Yeah. Thinking specifically about...

Do you want to describe your least favorite kind of immigrants? Maybe some certain... White South Africans. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. Maybe some people who've been exiled from France to return. times over and I saw a Disney movie about that. Yeah.

About what? About South African white people coming to America. Do you saw a Disney movie about this? Yes. It's really crazy. A black family signs up to do an exchange program with a South African girl, and she turns out to be a white South African, and it's a racial friendship, comedy, dramedy from They got a totally different Disney vault in Louisiana.

They only sent advanced screeners to people who have made paintings like, Josh. Disney's South African racism movie. John, AI is going to totally destroy your brain. I know. I'm already starting. First of all, you got to stop. I'm not even using AI. I'm going on Google.

Jacques, you know Google is AI now, right? Google is AI. That's why you can't even Google anything. You're not allowed. out to Google. Well, I'm just telling you that it's AI and that I wouldn't do it if I were you. Yeah. Because the moment you start outsourcing all

of your memories and all of your, you know, I could remember a name of the movie. The movie's called the color of friendship. Period. Okay, period. Okay, see, that was worth it. See, wasn't that worth not trying to remember, you know?

I mean, I don't think I should be persecuted. You don't try to make me an AI. I'm trying to help you because AI will... I'm not an AI advocate just because I googled. Whatever, dude. I use text to speech. I feel like

you're tripping up that I'm using some... You should also not do text to speech. You should be writing. Yeah, because you're so bad at typing messages. Because your brain will just totally atrophy if you just offload all of your thinking processes onto AI or various text.

I'm not offloading my think process to AI. I couldn't remember the name of a movie, damn it, and I googled it. Okay. You two are roasting me like a turkey. I'm just, I'm literally trying to help you. Anyway, in today's society, women have it easier than men strongly agree to strongly disagree. Strongly disagree. Why?

Because there's like a male, like, presence that, like, tops certain women's, like, I feel like women, like, women have a harder time because of men's rights. And men's rights are more, like, men's rights, cherished than women. women's. I think that they're like, it's probably harder to be a woman than it is to be a man. Period. I strongly disagree as well. And on and on that stance, that's why I would say it's unfair. People strongly, strongly disagree. I'm going to move mine to disagree. Regular disagree. Right. I was going to say there's, there's, it doesn't always need to be black and white. I hit just a soft agree or disagree here for some of these. Not because I, Not that I disagree that men have it easier than women, more so because I wanted my results to have more varied intensity.

Yeah, to mediate the results or whatever. Right, because it's like Israel is committing a genocide in Palestine. That is a strong agreement. Yeah, yeah. You know, because that's an ultimate kind of truth. There is more black and white. There is more gray area at the margins with a question like this. But of course, it is undeniable that men have it easier than women in our society.

Yeah, and like the affirmative action ones too, because like it, there is variance in like what kind of programs, though, like that is. It's like a crazy blanket statement of putting everything. Totally. Jock, what do you watch you on your phone? I wasn't trying to watch anything. I was trying to turn something off. Well, what was playing? I'm not even going to lie.

I just heard a woman go, so, and it sounded like the beginning, it sounded like the beginning of an Instagram tutorial on how to like make something. So today we are going to make Blue Gatorade Crosfish Boyle Now I'm I'm still I'm still about the Googling thing And so I type can you Google things Or is that considered using AI I'm asking I'm asking

Do you not understand the point here? Are you kidding me? No no I mean I'm just You can't think for yourself I can have a thing for my fucking self Do I do everything you tell me to do? What? No, why did you ask you? You said, I can't think for myself.

And then I asked you. I don't think you're choosing to. TikTok? Did you type it into TikTok? No, Google! I went into, I don't even use TikTok like that. Chuck, how would you answer that question if you didn't have Google? I would say, oh, I guess I don't know the name of the movie that I saw.

I forgot. Yeah, that would have been fine. First of all, yes, that would have been fine. But, I mean, the most recent question you asked Google. Is it okay to Google or is it AI? Yeah, what would your answer to that be? Oh, would I, did I, are you asking if I Googled that? You just said you did.

No, no, I typed it up in my notes app to post on Instagram to start a discussion. Oh, okay. I thought you were Googling it. Okay, all right. So that makes sense. At least you're, at least you're asking the audience, the question you're not asking. Yeah, honestly, Doc, I think instead of Googling every question you have, you should just post it to Instagram

because then at least you are like you know, talking to people. Live sourcing it. You're live sourcing it and you have to pick which opinion you agree with. You'll have to think through various data points. Here's a new phrase for you.

I only ingest locally sourced opinions. That's a good phrase. I kind of like that. I think I just start a newspaper. I'm calling people. It just is the funniest way I've heard you describe the process

of thinking. I only consume. I only gorge myself on locally. I accidentally licked a little bit of gold ink last night, so I pull up just a mild poison brain. What do you mean gold ink? I'm not going to ask him about this one. He's baiting for attention here.

I'm not baiting for attention. Your, I'm not jerking it. The primary cause of crime is poverty and deprivation. Strongly agree to strongly disagree. Uh, strongly agree. I'd say. Yeah. I was there with you, girl.

Jock. I only kind of agree because I don't know. Wait, is this just saying that all poverty? The primary cause of crime is poverty and deprivation. Okay, then strongly agree. There are too many crackheads on public transport. strongly disagree there's not enough there should be much more we should have a hard time using public transport we should have a hard time using public transport what makes you say that do you actually believe that i think so i think the last time about seven years ago six years ago there's a new year's eve thing and these two homeless people crackheads were yelling at stephen calling him a gay little gay little faggot and you were thinking he looked like young sheldon and I thought it was so funny.

It was hilarious. It was so funny. And we couldn't have ever thought of that live. No, I mean, honestly, you're making a really good point. Who else is going to be the funniest person on the bus roasting your friends? Yeah, absolutely. And also, like, I don't think, I don't, I think it's, New York should not be easy for anyone of any kind of, of any kind of class or any kind of thing. And going on the subway should not be easy.

because it's not easy for me. I mean, I said strongly agreed to this, did in all honesty. Not because I hate, you know, quote unquote crackheads, but I don't think that anyone, I don't think we should live in a society

that has this problem. So I did say, I did say strongly agree there are too many, yeah, quote, crackheads on public. Yeah,

the primary cause of crime is poverty and deprivation after all. So it's, and it, the vague thing, is this like too many is very ambiguous as well

and using the word crackheads I think we can sense that there's maybe a little bit of a bias in the person who yeah yeah exactly I have been noticing a bit of a bias I looked through the questions before and I was like okay I think I can yeah so I'm just going to

soft agree on this one soft degree a lot of famous people have been crackheads so it's like you know certainly true and that's the judge for how good a person is, is whether they're famous or not. Yes. Yeah. Well, I'm like, you know, good and bad people.

Homchooling should be banned. Strongly agree to strongly disagree. Strongly agree on the fact that I feel like they just get to take whatever the fuck they want, and then the moms are going to give them all eight pluses. I'm going to be neutral on this one. I don't give a fuck, and I don't know anything about it. Home school people roast me on the comments. I said, I did say strongly agree.

Yeah. That homeschooling should be banned. I'm there with you, Druck. Because I think everyone should be forced to enter into, like, universal public education. Oh, yeah. Education. I think you've got to socialize.

You should, like, be socialized and stuff. But I have friends who got... And it's more like homeschooling is, like, a covert thing to, like, be fun public schools. Yeah. You know, and, like, it's a really anti-social practice as well. And probably a lot of abuse happens in those places. Yeah. And also, like, yeah.

Yeah, your kid is going to be fucking weird. Yeah. I've never met a... I've never met a person who was homeschooled, who I couldn't tell that they were from the upbringing immediately. I have, but it truly is, like... I think actually most of the homeschooled people I've met have been pretty normal,

but it's just like, I don't know if it's a function of, like, other things that... Like other factors or whatever, you know? Or it's like maybe they had to overcome something totally. totally horrific and are now like normal. They like, you know, redeems their life. They save themselves and are just like normal. And like you have no clue what happened when they were in homeschool.

Yeah. I am going to soft degree just based on the public schools thing. No disrespect to them. Love the new song satellites. But aren't Frost children homeschooled? I'm going to text. They may be. I don't know.

That would be the best case, of course. Yeah. Actually, that does sound familiar, but I don't know if that's public knowledge. So I will say for the record, I don't know. And Jock is asking Google AI. I can look at this little. No, I'm texting fucking angel, you dumb dick, bitch. It's my friend homeschooled.

It's my friend homeschooled. We are talking about homeschooled and typing it myself of people on seeking. Are y'all homeschooled? I'm typing it by cell. That's so funny. Here, I'm going to send a picture of them so they know where it's real. A picture of what? First diversity in media has gone too far.

Strongly agree to strongly disagree. Forced diversity. I don't think there is forced diversity in media, honestly. I mean, again, the way they're asking this question is like so funny. I know. I know this actor, and he claims that since 2020, he really believes there's a forced diversity. And he's like, this is the worst time to be a white man in the acting world. because they're never they're gonna hire that could very well be true i mean i but just like to say that

just came out was so it's you can't say that without sounding like a retarded idiot you get a different job bitch i don't know yeah literally that's what i'm telling that's not me you're the dumbass who decided to be an actor in fucking louisiana you're what are you acting in in louisiana porn i didn't get the cajan roll by the way oh no i'm sorry jock That's okay. I'm not caging enough. So I'm going to say, uh, strongly disagree actually,

because I think, I think they should have to fund everything I write. Okay. I think I just, even because I'm trans, I think, you know what, makes some more rules good swing in my way. Okay, so yeah, I'm changing my answer to neutral because I don't,

I don't know what she's up about. I don't want to be, you don't want me to make any, I don't know if I want, if I want it, I don't, if she's getting money, then why am I not getting money? I'm going to say disagree, actually, for that one. Disagree. Okay. Period. I mean, forest diversity media has gone too far. These terms are so vague. Yeah. And I mean, literally it's like written by a guy. This is him trying to

moderate the original thought, which is there's too many black people in TV. Yeah. You know? Too far. You've gone too far is such. a funny phrase. My country should pay reparations to the descendants of people who have who we have wronged in the past. I'm going to strongly agree.

I'm going to agree. You're paying for that, Chuck? I mean, I assume that anything that I owe to anyone is just taken out of whatever I'm making anyway, so. What does that mean? I just think that if there was some kind of fee, they would give me

the bill and I would pay the bill. Okay, and you would be fine with that? I mean, it's set up is some kind of government thing, I guess. I'm going to say agree, just because I think... You're racist. You can only agree because you're racist. You can't strongly agree because you're a very racist.

Hessa, there you go again. Miss Bigot. Miss Bigot's back. Everyone hides your pride flags. It's Miss Bigot. She hates other ethnicities. Hessa, do you want to answer? Do you want to rebuke? Do you want to respond?

No. No, I think. Yeah. I hate you so much for doing that to me. You would break my heart. What, agreeing is enough? It's not enough to agree. Yeah.

Yeah. I think there should be social programs. I don't think it's a politically feasible thing to, like, just give lump some payments. And I don't know how it. actually helpful that would be. And I don't know how you would tax that or like how obviously like we should have done that

like at the very like right after like we said we were going to, you know? 40 acres in a mule. There she goes backpedaling on the racism. No. I mean I agree with reparations to Native Americans and like the descendants of slaves. Oh yeah. Absolutely. Entirely. Those are best affected through universal programs. Yeah, absolutely. Maybe with some affirmative action component.

Yeah. But I don't know. I mean, I'm not, I agree with the sentiment and most likely the practice. I do think it should happen. I mean, it's like totally fucking insane. Like, nothing really has. And it's like, it's a total kind of like, uh, reshifting of the, the issue of like, oh, there are like 10 people on earth that have like 90% of all the money. money. It's like, yeah, maybe we should take it from them and just give it to everyone. You know what I mean? And maybe everything would be better in that case. And sure, I mean, give it to black people and Native Americans first. So you're the official government. There's enough money for everyone, I think. You're the government official in charge of reallocating the reparations money. Who gets it

first? Me. damn wop you can't you want everything you guinea fuck this one is a very funny the next question the option j k jk rauling is bankrolling a genocide of transgender people a children's author with shitty opinions i have no opinion on her an icon of british culture and defender of woman's rights or a dumb void okay i'm kind of tempted to say a dumb void for this one I said. What is a void?

What is a void? What is a void? What do you think a void is? You use the context clues here. Make a guess. Because the first one seemed like it was like a disparaging of her as well. I just don't understand the difference in the first disparaging answer than the second one. The first disparaging answer, which is bankrolling a genocide of transgender people.

It's set up to make it. You can tell. I misunderstood that and thought that was about her somehow funding palace, for funding Israel, I mean, the genocide of Palestine. I was confused with, no. Yes, I think of the... You can tell this person is right way. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. But what do you think? What do you think Freud means? Oh, Ford. Oh, and by the way, they're not homeschooled and... Yeah, they're not homeschooled. For us children are not homeschooled. Don't ask them.

I... I... Void's got to mean, um, Floyd, big, a transgender hating woman. She's a dumb foid.

Floyd? Can you spell it? F-O-I-D? Do-void. Floyd. I don't, it's like really troubling to me that it's a word. Okay.

It's not food. Because food is F-O-O-D. Food is F-O-O-D. Food is F-O-O-O-D. Yeah. Because I've misspelled food and spelled FOID. Like I'm so hungry, can we go get some FOID? Boyd.

Oh, is there any FOID here? I'm so holl. An elderly British hag? No, it's just a term for a woman. Family broad, I believe, is, yeah. It's just, it's like an insult term. So, Hesse, what is your, um, I'm going to be a, I'm going to say a dumb void.

Dumboyd. Jock? I think she's paving the way for the genocide of trans people. All right. I think she's a popular enough voice advocating against for trans violence that it is that.

Sure. Oversimplified minimalist brand logos have gone too far. Again, have gone too far is such a funny phrase to me because it's so aggrieved and it's so dramatic because it implies that you've been like silently put like putting up with oversimplified minimalist logos and it's like I have to say something now because they've

simply gone too far it implies even like suffering and silence yeah I also don't see how this has anything at all to do with wokeness being on a woke chud spectrum I don't I truly don't even have a conception of I think it's because like cracker barrel changed their logo or something Yeah, I think it is like about a return to like aesthetics. Western aesthetics and you know, beauty is the best understanding I can have of this where it's like I mean, I do think that simplified minimalist brand

logos look like shit for the most part and they look worse when like whenever a logo Do I think they've gone too far? Yes, I do think it's gone too far. I'm going to agree on that. Yeah. I think. I was a soft degree on that as well. Jock, what are you thinking? You're a graphic designer. I'm really trying to think about it deeply. And I just, first of all, have never in my life scene when someone angry over being like, this logo's too simple. Well, I think it's like they think of it, but they think it's like part of like global homo

where like everything is kind of the same. And there's these like just minimalist, you know, like coal. logos, which I agree with. I don't think it's necessarily like political or even that big of a problem. It's kind of a nuisance. I think like a lot of it also is that there are far less logos nowadays for like anything that isn't like an AI thing called like Fartley or something and because most businesses, most like actual businesses that produce or produce something or provide a service are becoming monopolies, so there are less companies, and that's kind of read as like,

I think that's probably a bigger problem. Yeah, that actually needs a lot of sense. Yeah. I think it was a big problem with the Sprite can and the Sprite logo, how that's gone over the last few years. You used to have a lemon lime granite kind of background. That was, it just, there was so much,

grade it, whatever. Gradient. gradient, gradient. The background used to be gradient, and then they wanted to save money, so they cut out that, and they made it into just two simple colors. And the logo used to be so beautiful.

Wait, wait, wait, sorry. The Coca-Cola company wanted to save money, so they got rid of the gradient? Yeah. Are you asking Google AI again? I'm Googling Sprite cans from the 90s. It's so, Jesus. I just don't understand why it's the problem of me to Google.

I'm looking. It's just, it's disturbing. You can't, like, remember something or have a thought. I remember in my head. You don't. I do. Then why are you looking at it? You don't care about Sprite.

I don't care about Sprite. Also, no, I don't care. I don't give a shit about the Sprite logo. I'm more disturbed at seeing my friend turn into a monkey pressing a button over and over again. I remember the Sprite can. Like, it's my fucking DNA. Describe it. Describe it.

Describe it. Describe it. Describe it. I just did describe it. It's a blending between a blue and a green gradient. All right. So do you agree? Strongly agree. I'm tired of the oversimply.

Sprite can used to be a beautiful piece of artwork where the colors transitioned. And there was, it was a can that welcomed you when you sipped it. And it said, hey, welcome home. Welcome home from school. So are you saying, you're saying strongly agree, then I take it? strongly agree because we should have never changed the logos in the first place. We should never update the logos. Sex work, pornography, prostitution, et cetera is real work.

This is strongly agree to strongly disagree. Okay. Strongly agree. Of course is real work. It makes the damn money. But how are you going to say it's not real work? Yeah. I mean, I think I'm going to also say, I think I'm going to say agree there.

I'm going to soft agree. I've stretched my hole. I was neutral on it. I think given the society living, given how poor everyone is, and given the total stranglehold that tech has on everyone's life. Yeah.

I think it's probably bad that stuff like OnlyFans exists as a It shouldn't have to. Ostensible economic future for young people. Because he can't make money from it. He doesn't like it because he can't make money from it. Do you think it's good that you So you think if you can't make money from Onlyfans, it's good?

I'm just saying I think Ben's opposition is it because he can't make money on it. I agree in spirit with the idea that sex work should be too criminalized and that the criminalization on such practice is one in which seeks to control and dominate and impose violence upon women and queer people, whatever, et cetera. Like I do totally agree with that. At the same time, I think treating sex work as quote unquote, just, another form of work in our late capitalist

totally demonic fallen world is opening the door to more and more exploitation upon these same people from major tech companies. So I was neutral on this one for that reason. And because a lot of prostitution is

like human trafficked like women basically. And the argument there is legalizing it, regulating it. Yeah, what help of that. Yeah. So, I mean, I do agree with that. I think, I guess what I'm saying is if we have a non-corrupt, non-Zog government.

What is Zog? That is like literally, you know, run by the people and it's like truly democratic and just. Then, yeah, sex work. Fine. Whatever. It's, you know, do it like they do in Scandinavia or whatever. I don't fucking know. But I just don't think it's possible to do.

It's a nuanced issue that can't really be boiled down to strongly, again. or strongly disagree at this point. Yes. Yeah. I said neutral. I was neutral. Yeah, I'm going to say neutral as well. I am going to say strongly.

It's a pro-sex work. Because I've done sex work and I hated it. It was terrible. I mean, there were definitely parts that I hated about it, but I was making an insane amount of money and I was so in charge. I wish I would have known the numbers better and really sold myself more when I was younger and made myself a base. See, that's so sad to hear.

I should have sold it more. It's a fine. It's your life, diva. No judgment on you. I'm just like, this sentence, I wish I had sold myself more when I was younger, just like put a pit in my stomach. Well, I'm sorry, but there were things that I was up to and I wanted, I could have succeeded better at them.

Again, you know what? Do whatever you want, girl. I have used chat GPT or a similar chat bot. daily often sometimes once or twice or never never shock

you just used it three you just used it twice it's all you've been doing is using AI that is so fucking different you Google go on google.com the first result for any Google search is an AI overview yeah

which you read it's the it's the thing you read you read the AI overviews every single time you Google yeah it's happened like the past Seven episodes, dude. Bin Mora. You're Googling that. Okay.

Let's see if there's an AI overview. Oh, so if I Google Ben Mora, what comes up is... Is the soccer coach? No. My fellow publicly fired, Benhamine Mora. What came up when you Googled the last few things? Okay. Yeah, if you ask Google a question, it'll give you an AI overview.

Or if you ask Google something that's like... Which you do every single time. Yeah. my name, they will give you an AI overview. I've never used an AI specific module. No, you're right. You're right in that you are not downloading like AI

specific apps, but you were using AI. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay. I would never do. The second that, okay, you know what, I can admit that like five years ago, six years ago, I used something that was like AI generative to make me look pregnant and make me

look as a pregnant person. Like, it digitally altered an image of me to make me look pregnant. I understand. And I didn't know that it was so heinous to do things. And when I realized that it was such a moral, objectively problem thing that I stopped. Like just someone using AI is like a huge ethical issue. I'm more just like people will make you dumb.

I'm not like doing just like cancel culture thing of being like you're a bad person for using AI. What I'm saying is I'm trying to give you a warning and that AI will make you dumb. I'm not here to shame. you or to like Cassie you like I'm gonna say for this one I'm gonna say once or twice because I did have that lawyer my fake lawyer that I was sending emails to people with and just generating them with AI I've used I've used chat GBT for plenty of stuff like when my Mac has like a fucking issue that I'm like I'm not gonna watch a 20 minute YouTube video yeah

from some guy who's whispering no offense yeah to figure out how how to like fix my Mac. I'm like, I don't know. So I have used chat GPT for specifically tech issues. Yeah, but that's about it. I want to state something really quickly and I'll never talk about it again. These guys are all evil, of course. Yes, Shock, what are you thinking?

I never knew until the moment that y'all explained it to me that it is an AI overview when you Google it. It does say AI overview right on top. Yeah. But I thought y'all are just being mean. I thought you're just trying to bully me. me like y'all normally do i can't take it just realize now that you've been using a i for because it's google i it's i know you're right jock actually you're kind of right because like they shouldn't be

using ai because it's just like no they're meant to be searching websites and they just show you the website that's what it's confusing to me i mean it's like totally unusable yeah and it's just like it's AI referencing AI, referencing AI. And it's just, it's become completely, it's totally wrong half the time as well. Like a few months ago, I googled how many, how many, uh, peas are in the word Google? And it said there are three Ps in the word Google. It's ridiculous. It's like actually so fucking stupid.

OZempic and similar GLP1 drugs are a miracle drug, B, a useful medicine. C, I don't know. D. letting people cheat at losing weight or E reinforcing negative body stereotypes. C and D okay you can only choose one D well I'm choosing both because I think they're due both

You can't so you have to choose one. Okay D letting people cheat at losing weight I said D not C that is D C is I don't know You're thinking of E no then what's what's F stereotypes It's reinforcing negative body stereotype. I think it is reinforcing negative body stereotype.

I think it's something so dangerous about GLPs. The fact that the first time in months that I look a little bit skinnier because of a medicine is affecting me and everyone has asked me on a repeating basis. Okay, so you're talking about D then, letting people cheat at losing because you're like, I'm not cheating.

I lost to await the old-fashioned way. I think it's both. It's both. I feel more strongly that it is negative effect against society making skinnier. I don't think so. I think it's a useful medicine. Okay, I'm so happy.

Yeah. I said, I don't know about this one. Much like sex work, I'm like, I don't know. I mean, in theory, I think it's all great. But you know what? I mean, I guess in terms of just like public health, it is a very useful medicine and probably does relieve a lot of people. Yeah, and you are cheating because you could have been

in the gym working that body and exercising that way. It's not cheap. Whatever, girl. I mean, I'm more just like, who knows what the long-term effects of these drugs are, you know? Yeah. I think I once watched... There's a television show

about Ozympic, if it was a horror show. It's called The Beauty. And after they do it, they heat up and their body explodes. Yes. Yes, but... Interesting. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are going to replace the...

going to replace fiat money as the global currency, B, a useful tool. C, I don't know. D, just a form of gambling, or E, completely useless. I'm going to say just a form of gambling. Period, girl. I said the same thing. Jock, what are your honest thoughts on this?

Well, I've, cryptocurrency is so stupid anyway. It's like, yeah, I think it's already dangerous that I have stuff in a bank. and not in cash exclusively. And if the internet's down, I can't get my money. So what am I doing? You know?

If the internet of the world is down to that degree, I think you're going to have bigger problems than not having cash on hand. Because I don't think businesses will be accepting cash. You know what I mean? Right. And then you can stare at it and be like, oh, I still have it. Yeah. Thank God I still have it.

Yeah. But, Jock, what are you thinking? I think it's just the answer that made it sound the worst. Completely useless, I think. Yeah. NFTs, non-fungible tokens are the future of art,

a form of digital ownership, no opinion, a gimmick, or stupid, ugly monkeys, and a waste of time. Stupid ugly monkeys and a waste of time. I'm going to say the future of art. No, I'm kidding.

Could you imagine? I mean, unfortunately it could be. Like, there's no value. They've already failed. They've like already failed. You don't see them anymore. Everyone was like, oh, that was dumb. We're going to not talk about that.

We're going to move on from that. It was so like, it combined two of the things I hate the most, which is just like weird internet like bro scams and terrible art. It was annoying to me from the jump, and I was like, I'm going to learn out so little about this as I possibly can. And I still don't really understand what happened with those. So, like a year or less post the NFT art thing, they started stealing the NFT art and putting them on the weed bags for unregulated weed across L.A. Like the like the shit weed. and I feel like that just showed.

It was just like it went from the lowest common denominator of art form, which is stoner artwork. Yeah, totally. It plummeted from a million dollars behind. Super ugly monkeys and a waste of money. Hessa, what do you think? Yes, I'm going to say the same thing. Period.

Copycat. Generative AI is very useful, useful, no opinion, overrated, or making society. worse. Making society worse, I'm going to say. Yeah, totally. Look, it's, it's making us fight.

Exactly. We used to be, we used to be so friendly. And then Jock had to make an AI of himself being pregnant. And you know how much water that took? Yeah. That's why New Orleans is sinking. That don't go. Let me tell you something. It took a lot more

than the normal amount of water to make that body. I know. Actually, I take it back. My body's so big and rotund naturally that it actually used about seven gallons less. It actually was just one drop of water because you already looked pregnant. The robot inside the AI said, that was an easy one. Didn't have to alter this one too much.

Humans are stupid and fat. Period. Nice. So what do you think, Jock, very useful? I think they're not very useful. Okay, making society worse. So we'll say overrated. Overrated.

What were you? Sorry, were you vaccinated for COVID-19? One, booster shots plus both shots, just both shots. One shot didn't get faxed for COVID, or all vaccines are poison. I just got one shot. One shot. I got both shots. I got one shot.

I got the Johnson Johnson one and I had a seizure. pissed myself on the floor. Okay, so all vaccines are poisoned then, Doc? No, I just said that I only got one shot. You just said you got poisoned by a vaccine. I got poisoned by a vaccine. Did I say that all vaccines are poison? No, I said that I got poisoned by a vaccine.

Humanity needs to reduce our overall energy consumption to protect the ecosystem. Strongly agree to strongly disagree. Strongly agree. We need to eliminate cars for eight years. We need to literally ban all cars. Yes, I totally agree with you. Only dirt bikes. Only sexy men on dirt bikes.

Or like electric golf carts. I mean, electric cars maybe, but even like replacing those and producing that, but also like being fucking insane. And it's like we need to do trains. We need to do trolleys. We need to do bikes. And God forbid some of you people just fucking walk. Yeah.

Exactly. Why are you against the dirt bikes, though? I just feel like, they're like. Derbytes are fine. Dirt bikes are fine, yeah. I would love that. ATVs, you know, that's all fine. Actually, no, no more ATVs, no more ATVs.

Just dirt bikes, I'm going to say. All right. That's fine. I mean, ATVs, well, they're both extremely dangerous. Yeah, yeah. And the wrong hands. People stay dying on both of those. Yeah, yeah.

I'm going to get one next. This is my first car. You should. My first car is an ATV. There was a kid in my hometown, and he was smush. by an overflip ATV and there was like

there's like a smush is so rude well there's like a field day there's like a field day where they raise money for them every year and for all victims of like being smush of smushings

because the four wheelers when they flip they're heavy yeah and I think they're more dangerous than cause of death in the Acadiana's getting smushed yeah a huge problem there

lab grown meat is an amazing invention that should be adopted as soon as possible. A good thing. No opinion. Probably not as good as real meat or disgusting and should be illegal. Probably not as good as real meat because I just can't imagine that, you know, I really like ribs. And I feel like it would be really hard to make fake ribs. Why?

Because the taste of pork ribs in your mouth or. or even beef ribs, it lasts so long. And a fake meat could not ever do that. It leaves a long lasting taste in your mouth. That is like a saver sensation. That is such a disgust. To evaluate food based off of how long it flavors stays in your mouth. It's like, I kind of love it.

That's why I like a cheeseburger for Judy Sand? Because they give you a raw white onion on top, a big one. And you just bite in, and it's so is. the after you eat the cheeseburger so delicious you taste the cheeseburger. I imagine poop. The flavor of poop stays in your mouth a really long time.

Well, that's just one of the metrics, I would imagine. Poop? He's considering it. I'm not eating poop. Yeah, how do you know, Ben? How do you know it stays in your mouth? Yeah, how do you know, you little scat eating poop eating faggot, you diarrhea mouth, bitch.

You poop eating faggat. You poop eating faggat. Police! He's amazing poop. Poo peep eating security. Security, he's eating the poop he shot on the ground.

It's disgusting. I'm going to start saying. Arrest him. He's wearing a harness and he's pale. He's got it. All right. Hesel, what do you think about lab grown meat?

And no opinion. No opinion, yeah. Yeah. I think it's going to be grosser. I guess in theory, I mean, but the climate change of it all, like it is all cows,

like, farting and stuff. but I mean it's also like horrifically violent to them but again I'm like I don't know what's going I mean in a perfect world I don't know what they're doing I don't know like I read an article about like how much energy it takes to make it and how it's like it would be impossible to like create at scale like to replace the current meat market

it be a benefit if I was vegan for my health but the only other reason I would want to be vegans because I like some of the vegan shirts that online ceramics has. And that would make, that's enough to convince me to be vegan if there's a cool enough shirt. Okay. I would take a drug that slows or stops the aging process. This is strongly, agree to strongly disagree.

Strongly disagree. Aging is the most human thing. I am so with you, Jock. I'm not even being facetious here. Of course, would I like to stay young and love? look young and be healthy, you know, my whole life, am I horrified, even about how old I look now? Yes. But I do think it would destroy society if one of the most natural, like literally the process of dying

was just all of a sudden stopped. I think it would, I, it would, well, you could still die. I mean, it's the most human thing about us all is that we're all dying the second we're born. And we're dying until we're dead. And also, it's just so unnatural. But also, would I take it? Yes, Hessa, I mean, I'm like, if anyone else is taking it,

y'all are contributing to, like, a really horrific, like, disfigurement of the, you know, the human experience. What, the most extreme? Do I want to look old? No, so I did say. I think I just don't want to, like, have health problems that go with, like, getting old, you know, like. Right.

The most extreme of this is that you would, you're supporting them to bring back Walt Disney as a reanimated cyborg with his head unfrozen. Wake that up. On top of a robot's body. Wake that up. I mean, I could not agree more, Mr. Gonsolin. AI robots will be doing most, if not all, human jobs within 10 years. Strongly agree to strongly disagree. Strongly disagree because the human resistance.

Because I'm going to stop them. Yeah. I've seen Terminator 2 and I've seen Terminator 1. And if we, if we're hopeful, do you think there'll be a tipping point where people will actually make it stop? Yeah. I,

I mean, I just think that there's people there. Okay. I mean, if we were talking about all human jobs. Yeah. That would be crazy. I mean,

like, if, like, AI is going to come for like trucking. Yeah. It's something like 30% of men. without a college degree are like long haul truckers or something. Yeah, it's a crazy amount.

I can't even drive. It's like, okay, well, if you put all of those men out of work, I think even that would, the ramifications of that would be, you know. Really bad. It would be like Iraq after they disbanded the army. Literally bad for those guys to not have jobs. There's so much more school shootings. There would be so much more domestic violence, the drug driving accidents. I mean, just like all of these things.

Like, that's how ISIS got created, basically. Yes. I don't really know if AI, and what do I know? I literally am a fucking idiot. But I just don't feel like it's possible because the amount of like, I mean, you'd have to have like UBI or something, I would imagine. You'd have to have some way of pacifying people. Yeah.

And the lack of them losing their jobs. and I don't think that we have a government that is even functional or gracious enough to do UBI to steal the jobs. Yeah, I don't know. I think that it's going to become like, I think that the technology where it's at right now is pretty much the peak of where it's going to be at. Like with, I mean, maybe we can get some incremental like improvements in it. but it seems like they're basically like like open AI is projected like they raised what like 150 billion dollars in the last year and in the like they're projecting losses of 850 billion dollars by 2030 so I think like it's just not profitable it's just like we we keep pretending it's

profitable and like they're like well we're going to use the AI economy yeah yeah We're going to ask the AI how it can help us fix itself and make it replace every job. And it's like, that's not really going to work. I don't think. I don't think. So basically, I think what it's coming for mainly is going to be like creative jobs and like email jobs and stuff like that. Creative jobs are in danger?

Well, I think like factory jobs, like I think manual labor jobs as well. Like trucking. Yeah. I mean robots are more, yeah, for that kind of thing. I think robots don't have accidents. well yeah i mean unless they kill i'm just joking i'm making a joke i'm just regular disagree with that i strongly disagree i hate it we should not be spending billions on space travel when there are people starving here on earth a million percent strongly agree i think it's the biggest waste of

money to put all of our money in the stars it's it's very it's incredibly 1960s nationalism of countries competing to try to be the space race has long been over we're so past do you believe the moon landing i don't give a shit about the moon landing and fuck the moon falls down from the sky tomorrow and blows up the earth well fuck that sucks but yeah what the fuck who gives the shit it's like the that's why also i'm not going to be an astrologist bitch and i'm not going to be uh into the the the breast stuff. What is it called? Do you guys remember when Brianna Wu was running for like Congress and one of her campaign platforms was, uh, was she doing a space thing? Well, she was saying that the biggest threat. Let her go. Yeah, she was like the biggest threat facing the world is that someone's going to put a base on the moon and they're going to be able to drop rocks from the moon onto the earth. And that's going to be like the most dangerous thing imaginable. It's going to be like they're going to wipe out whole cities. It's going to be like a nuclear problem. fucking idiot.

That is insane. She's just total fucking adult. Yeah, I hate her. America literally had a laser satellite defense system called Star Wars, and we thought that was like necessary. Yeah, and it didn't work. That is the biggest grift of the American government. I don't think it's one of the biggest grift.

I don't think it's... Not the biggest. Israel's the biggest griff, but... Period. You agree? You agree? Strongly disagree? Strongly agree with that one.

Strongly agree. I consume online pornography, daily, weekly, monthly, monthly, rarely, or never. These ones, this is an interesting thing, because I'm looking at the test, and these ones are all in lowercase, which kind of indicates to me that this guy had pornography open in another tab

and wasn't focused enough to capitalize these. Yes. But yeah, I'm going to say, not never, but like, maybe like I like once every like three months honestly for me because I'm like you know so rarely yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna agree with the rarely I don't jack it is really would think I just use your imagination I'm like I could surely I stopped watching porn like years ago I don't yeah I don't touch the stuff I'm just I'm just speaking sex is the is not an important thing to me so

I could go like three months or four months without coming. And feel fine. Okay. All right. I support building more nuclear energy plants. Strongly agree to strongly disagree. Um, no opinion. I'm neutral on that one.

Neutral. I don't really know. I also was neutral. I was like, I don't really know. Yeah. I really don't know anything about nuclear facilities. So I'm going to say neutral. AI automation should not come at the expensive jobs and livelihoods strongly.

I strongly agree. I strongly agree. That's an easy one. Yeah, that's like a duh. Prediction markets are, one, the closest thing we have to a truth machine in knowing the future. Two, tools for collecting information. Three, no opinions. Four, just gambling.

Or five. Bad and should be banned. Bad and should be banned because I always never trusted Nostradamus and I don't trust that. Okay. So you think they should be banned because they can predict the future. well. I don't like anything. I think I think anyone who can predict the future should not be trusted in any way.

They can't predict the future, Jack. They can't predict the future. I'm sorry to tell you. I think, like, it really is like, I saw, I saw a statistic that, you're thinking of Baba Vaga. Bobby Yaga. I fucking hate Bob. Bobby Gaga. Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga.

Bobby Gaga. Bobby Gaga. Bobby Gaga. Just because she can't, she's got melted eyes and she thinks she could see everything and I just hate any a bitch who thinks she knows everything I think it's so fake prediction markets are I think like the real like I saw a thing today that was like most we like American adults spend more money on sports gambling than they do on like movies TV TV like movies TV music everything else combined yeah it's completely absurd and like actually really scary because it's like

gamifying like reality and it's just I don't know it feels so out of like a really corny sci-fi book about the American future you know like it's

it makes it really makes me feel um dissociated from reality when I just see that people are like betting on whatever yeah and knowing how corrupt all of it is as well like

people in the White House people in the government are just shorting the markets or whatever. They're like doing insider trading with all of this stuff. I don't know. It's horrifying to me. And they should totally be banned. Of course, they should be banned. Yeah.

Air conditioning is essential for human civilization. Two, important to maintain comfortable temperatures. Three, no opinion. Four, overrated. Five, unnecessary wasteful American extravagance. I'm going to say, unfortunately, I think it is becoming essential for human civilization. just because of climate change. And I think like they're like we're going to see temperatures going crazy like way, way, way up.

I mean, look what's happening in Europe right now. Like the heat wave. We're like literally in a heat wave. But it's like melting like railroad tracks across Europe. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like girl, this is the beginning of it. Yeah.

My mom says all the time she's like we literally used to never have weather like this happen. Yeah. On a regular basis. Talking about how often it storms, how. how the frequency of hurricanes and like major storms and I believe it because she watches the weather pretty intensely she's trying to fish yeah we are like at the end of an ice age people forget like we it's like what does that mean like 50,000 years it's been like colder than it was before

and then now it's going to be like the end of that cycle then we're just kind of accelerating that like it's not 50 that maybe like 400,000 something like that. I can't remember the exact number. I'm not smart. I am no blue. Completely. Yeah, yeah. But like when you say cycle, I just think of America's next top model.

Yeah, absolutely. Period. Girl. So I said for this, I did say overrated. I, you know, a couple years ago probably would have said it's an unnecessary wasteful American extravagance because I am anti-AC. I do think the American public is not equipped to use it with any kind of responsibility. It's just like everywhere you go is like a fucking freezer.

Yeah. But it is unfortunately probably going to become somewhat essential for like the elderly not to die during heat waves like this. Yeah, yeah. I said important to maintain comfortable temperatures for the elderly. Shout out the old folks. Yeah. Jock. sorry I just kind of honestly got distracted is it good or bad

what does you get distracted by I love AC I keep it at 61 I just literally was essential essential for literal jocks human I just I'm feeling physically uncomfortable on nothing related to to the podcast but I literally was just thinking about how it was hurting I don't mean to sound cool bitch we are halfway through this quiz yeah do you want to let's keep going let's pause it and uh continue next time how long would it take us to finish another hour? It took us as yes. Yeah, I can't do another hour.

Right now. How long could y'all do? Because I could be faster if that's a way to finish it. I mean, I don't know how fun it will be to hear us just answer these. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Seeking Sunday, we'll wrap up this quiz and do some more stuff. Everyone out there, thank you so much for listening today. Thank you, everyone.

If you want to hear, I guess this is, if you want to hear. to hear how this quiz ends up, you'll have to subscribe to our future because the results will be paywalled on our episode that is coming out on Sunday. So, goodbye everyone. We'll see you behind the paywall. Bye. Bye, divas.
