And we're back in more ways than one. Am I right, man? How many ways? How many ways are we back? I would say two. One being that word. I'd say multiple ways. We're physically back. We're actually back. We're back from New York. We're back from New York. Huge shout out to everybody. Thank you. Great show. Oh, my God. Oh, special shout out to Dan. But we're also technically not back. Anyone watching this, we're gone and we're in Chicago. Oh, yeah, because in advance, thank you to Chicago for such an amazing show.
which is happening tomorrow yesterday yesterday for you but um i wanted to tell you real fast
about dan this guy after the show in new york i was walking down the street one morning
getting my coffee sick kid comes up to me and he's just smiling and gives me a wave and i'm like
hey and he goes hey i was at the show last night and i said oh cool did you like it and he said yeah
and then he just kind of deadpan looks at me and he goes you're huge and i just like thanks man he goes
Yeah, I know people have joked about it, but you're huge.
You're huge in person.
And his name was Dan.
Was he a small guy?
No, he was like probably 5'10, but he had curly hair and a mustache, and it was cool.
And I thought that I had dog shit on my shoe.
So I was like, oh, man, do I have dog shit on my shoe?
And we both just kind of sat there and chatted a little bit.
But anywho, the show was great.
We always have a good time in New York City.
Well, what else?
we're working on new merch oh that should be coming who knows when we take forever doing everything
but hopefully no hopefully really soon we're so close we've also got a new format for the Q&A
wherein we're going to call you so if we like your question on the discord we'll get your phone number
and we'll call you and we won't abuse it i swear to god uh we're also working on a new series that
we're going to start as soon as possible and oh what else oh and hey credit card people oh this one
big. The Chase Sapphire
upped their sign-up
bonus to 75,000
points. It used to be
50,000, and this is only temporary.
They will knock it back down to 50, so if you've
been waiting to get this card, get it.
It's 75,000 bonus points when you
spend 4 grand in the first three
months, which is kind of a lot, but if you can
get it, I recommend getting it.
So if you go to the credit card list
dot com and scroll all the way to the bottom,
it should be there. You know what
I'm doing is I just actually hit my
every four years you're allowed to
switch redo it
I just hit my four years
perfect time for me to get another 75,000 points
yeah that's actually a good idea
holy crap yeah I think I might have gotten mine
four years ago too no I think it might be two
two or three but uh well boy
before we get in we got a absolutely
jam-packed episode for you guys
I can't believe I can't believe how much stuff is going on
I really can't we had when we were going over this episode
we had to call so much stuff
but we're going to be talking about GameStop, it's back, and is it here to stay?
Also, I'm pissed off, and you're just going to have to stick around for me to tell you exactly why,
because I'm so mad, I'm so angry.
Also, open AI.
We're all getting AI girlfriends, baby.
We're so back.
Oh, man.
Dude, we're all going to fall in love with an AI girlfriend.
We're also going to be talking about why you can't get a cool-ass Chinese TV?
Yeah.
Poor you, poor me.
But before we get into that, I just thought we would cover something going on with a man that is near and dear to my heart.
We love him the show.
RFK Jr.
Reportedly in a, what is it called where he had to give testimony or something?
A deposition?
A deposition.
Thank you.
See, that's the problem right there is I have trouble recalling certain words and phrases, but he revealed it a deposition.
from 2012 or so that he actually had a brainworm a real life.
I feel like you're doing his voice weird now.
I am?
Am I shaking too much?
What am I doing wrong?
It used to sound just like him.
Now it sounds a bit...
Really? Too shaky?
It sounds...
Well, shit, now I'm thinking too much.
I had a brain worm and they caught it, but it had already eaten a part of my brain and died.
he says he can still take on Trump in a debate.
Even with part of my brain missing,
I can still take on Trump in a debate,
but there's nothing that can be done about my voice.
It's very grating.
Oh, man.
If there's one reason to not vote for RFK,
it's for not having four years of that.
It's for that.
Man, but it, I mean,
I don't,
you couldn't have written a better story to drop
than him actually having a full,
Because everybody, everybody loves to joke about having brainworms, including me.
Everybody's, you know, everybody's joking about having a brain.
You're talking to everybody.
Every time someone does a joke, it's a brainworm.
Yeah, it's everybody's on brainworms mode.
I make this joke constantly.
I'm with friends and they're, I've never made this joke.
I've established fully that my mental illness can be classified as just.
Maybe we should get you checked out.
Maybe there is a brainworm in there.
You know, I do wonder sometimes what's going on.
And I.
Alzheimer's could start as a real thing.
early as you're late 30 so don't say that to me early and your brain can still work overtime and
make up for the gas still be president can i still take on trump i mean the way this is going sure i actually
i could run for i you know i bet i could do it i bet i should have done a cold open with uh ben as a worm
in a meal's brain you dressed up as a worm just picture it that's enough we didn't need to do it
yeah yeah picture it in your head yeah and audio listeners especially that's what we did
that's it we did it yeah we did it retroactively
Really well done.
But, yeah, we joke about the brainworms,
and it's just so wild to me that the guy actually...
Do you feel validated?
Yeah, I feel incredibly validated.
And very seen?
Yes.
And, yeah, the little guys are eating fine.
They're always eating good.
But, okay, so...
Okay, got to collect myself.
GameStop.
Fight off the Alzheimer's. GameStop.
Also, I do want to point out a few weeks ago,
we were talking about aping fat bags, right?
Oh, yeah, this guy, fat sacks.
I was saying we were so back.
It's all back.
And I can't believe how back we are.
It's actually insane.
If you bought NFTs at the peak, I hope you held on to them because you are maybe a few weeks, maybe a month out from being able to call your ex-wife and being like, I told you, you dumb, you dumb bitch.
You left me.
And you can maybe call your kids and saying, hey, you're going to college again.
It's all.
I fixed it all.
fucking coffee shop in New York. I hope you
held. This coffee shop in New York
had a couple digital
like art frames
and I believe the owner must
own some entities. Yeah.
Oh, he's about to ape some fat bags?
Dude, he's probably aping so hard
right now. But, all right
so. His wife's going to come crawling back.
Here's the scoop.
The guy who started all of the
the guy at the helm of all of this
stuff, the guy known on
read it as deep fucking value
or Roaring Kitty.
His Twitter account
had been dormant for
almost three years.
He was waiting.
Well, so he tweeted,
I'll pull it up here, he tweeted
just this image, Jesus Christ,
which is like the meme that
indicates things are about to get real.
Things are about to get serious.
It's simply a photo of
an illustration, it's an illustration
of a guy just like leaning forward
in his chair. Well, no, he's also playing a video game. Oh, he is? It's a, it's to let you know that
like, things are about to get interesting. If you were playing a video game relaxed like this,
sitting back, all of a sudden you're like, holy shit, I need to sit up and lean forward. I'm about to
get into some shit. And GameStop, the stock, had already started to kind of bottom out and perk up.
And there were some unusual options trades that had gone through that a couple people on Twitter
noted but then yeah on i believe it was last friday was it friday
t's no it was sunday it looks like this was tweeted on may 12th which is sunday no oh yeah you're
right yeah and it just made everybody lose their collective shit because it meant that oh we're
so back like everybody's going to be aping fat bags everybody's going to be aping fat bags if
the leader of all this shit and anyway since then on may third yesterday for us he's
He's just been, his Twitter account, rather, has just been posting, I'm scrolling through here.
It's just like 60 second, 30 second clips of different underdogs from different movies.
Yeah, there's one of, what's his name from, just, is it Troy?
Yeah, rallying his troops, all sorts of shit like this.
So what did that make GameStop do?
It made GameStop go up from $10 a share.
Friday-ish, $12 a share to, I think this morning it was up to like 66 or something,
fucking bananas.
And naturally, AMC followed.
And the reason that I'm pissed off is...
Ape together, strong.
Ape together, strong.
Ape together, ape fatbacks.
Ape together.
Well, me and some apes in the Trader Treehouse, we bought...
By the way, there was a guy in the treehouse talking about, like, I think I'm going to get long
game stop weeks ago.
And I was like, all right, dude, good luck.
I think it's just dead money.
Like, what are you doing?
And I believe he held on, but I had a fuck ton of AMC shares that I bought last week.
And I sold...
Just for like no reason...
Just to swing it just in case it started to...
Just in case this started to happen.
Why?
But did you like...
Just because...
But you thought this was dead.
They run in tandem.
I know, but you thought it was dead.
Yeah, I thought...
So like, what made you be like...
Well, I thought it was dead.
dead a few weeks ago when that guy was talking about it. But then after looking at the chart and looking
at AMC's chart, I was like, it's worth taking a risk. So I bought 8,000 shares and...
There's a lot. Which is a lot. And, yeah, I made a good amount of money. But then by this morning,
I would have been up $50,000. So I'm fucking so mad, dude. I'm so... Actually, I don't really care
anymore.
But that's, but that's the, it's, it's like, uh, you know, you can't, you can't predict this
kind of stuff.
No, you can't.
So.
No, you really can't.
It makes it, it's easy to be like, oh, I could have done this, but it's like, I mean, how
could you fucking know?
This is the most irrational thing.
Hey, everybody.
We got a quick little break to take to talk to you about a little thing called Monday.
a little thing called subscriptions
and a little extra thing called
Rocket Money. Because we all got
subscriptions to stuff that we done
forgot about. I know I have
and it ruined my life. Every time I look at my bank account
I'm like, how did this happen?
Yeah. And now with Rocket Money, I've
been able to find out. I wish I had done it sooner
so that I didn't declare bankruptcy like
I did because I was subscribed to this
one thing that cost like 50 grand
a month. I went into Rocket Money.
The amount of subs, I just
didn't know I had it. What are you doing with your head?
I had to do that because of the list I was looking at it.
Scroll and it just keeps going.
Scroll, scroll, geez, Louise.
Yeah, so did you know that nearly 70, like us,
nearly 75% of people have subscriptions they've forgotten about?
And that makes me feel good because I thought I was just alone in that.
Yeah.
But apparently I'm not the only one.
Yeah, so Rocket Money is going to help you with that.
It is a personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions.
it monitors your spending
and helps lower your bills
so that you can grow your savings.
It's got over 5 million users.
Geez, Louise, so you know it must be
they're on something good.
We're one of the 5 million.
And they've saved a total of
$500 million in canceled subscriptions.
Saving members up to $740 a year
when using all of the apps features.
So you really got to get on this.
Stop wasting things.
stop wasting money on things you don't use okay that's what we're trying to say cancel your
unwanted subscriptions by going to rocketmoney dot com slash bays that's b a es that's rocketmoney
dot com slash bays rocketmoney dot com slash bays b a yes and it's so irrational uh all the other
meme stocks and the highly shorted names tupperware was fucking moving blackberry was moving still
is uh beyond beyond uh meat just so many of these old meme names are just getting pumped but
Andrew Tate they jumped on it so fast also I mean I'm sure you're going to play some of the clips
but this weird like pivot to this Robin Hood thing of like I'm man of the people it's like my guy
you're on trial for sex trafficking and well he's just taking advantage of the of the but he's
He's trying to position himself as he's, I'm what, well, just play it.
Yeah, I lost a lot, this is his tweet, I lost a lot of money attacking the Matrix during
GameStop, always been part of the resistance. Yeah. So as it stands, there's a hedge fund manager
who, when it wakes up tomorrow morning and Wall Street opens, if the GameStop price opens at
the current price, he's going to lose $13 billion, his entire hedge fund. I don't know where he's
getting, he's the only person I've seen talking about that. There have been hedge fund. I
who have lost a shit ton of money off of...
Sure, but this go-round, it's not at all the same setup.
That's one thing I want to make clear.
Like, if you're thinking about getting in and, like, riding the wave,
be extremely careful because what had happened last time was
there were more shares short than there were shares at all
because of manipulation from a lot of these hedge funds.
This time around, that ain't the case.
For me and Lucas, we just cashed some Bitcoin.
We're putting 50 grand, 50 Gs.
Yeah.
50 grand in at GameStop.
in this price i don't give a fuck if i lose it all i don't give a fuck i just can't listen to the guy's
voice i mean the whole he he keeps going with videos and he's just like in the airport being like
this is we're we're taking the whole system back i'm and he's talking about how like i have 11
million dollars i'm ready to lose a million dollars oh yeah he was saying that um he's just
you're dude my man is so late to the trend so he took a half million dollars out in bitcoin
and he's putting it in all kinds of well he's he's taking in stocks he's trying to yeah like
Yesterday he tweeted, buy $1,000, or buy a million dollars worth of GameStop, 5,000 retweets, and I do it.
And it's just, he's taking advantage.
He's using this to, like, make himself the centerpiece this time.
And then it's so funny because this just shows how fucking stupid this guy is and how stupid so many people are.
What they attribute to, like, sketchy, scammy behavior on the part of the markets is just normal market behavior.
behavior, but protocols. They halted trading, he said. The entire system is a scam. The matrix
wrecks you endlessly. And as soon as you start to win, they turn the game off. No, they have the
halts in place to prevent wild, volatile swings in either direction. The halting can help
in many cases. If it drops too quickly, they pause trading for like 15 minutes. So too with,
to the upside, they pause trading. It's not anything that's unusual. It's not a scan. It's just
I'm seeing, like, people posting 10 to 15 minute videos just about the grift and how they're screwing over the little guy and...
Via this one stock, this one stupid fucking stock.
Because it's fucking roaring kitty.
Yeah.
You know how they're taking your money if you keep throwing it at the fucking game stop?
So I have a theory.
What is it?
I don't think that that's the real roaring kitty.
I think that his Twitter account was hacked.
and someone has been waiting and was buying up options.
Why would he come out by now and be like, that's not me?
I have no idea.
But he used to post on his Reddit account, his YouTube account,
and I forgot what other social media.
There's been no posts on those.
Interesting.
So I think that it is very possible.
Nobody has been able to really verify.
He hasn't, yeah, the only posts coming from his account are just these...
videos and i think that it's all a coordinated massive pump and dump on and i have no
whoever whoever did it is doing it the absolutely right also didn't he used to didn't he
used to post you know uh well researched and he would like post his positions right like that
yeah not just me me bullshit yeah um yeah so i think that damn that would actually be sick i know
It's, uh, especially it would also make Elon Musk look really bad because he's, I mean,
his whole site is a mess. I haven't looked at the replies, but I'm sure, you know, to that first
meme, it's just all only fans accounts going like, you know what else is about to get serious.
Pussy. Pussy. I mean, that's every post now. It's just like. They fully, they stopped doing
just pussy and bio and now they just fully show. It's just like a video. Oh,
I can't even like scroll past it.
It's just like, whoa, there she is.
I was so embarrassed in the airport.
It was like, it was something like if you haven't seen that Walmart video or whatever.
And I'm still just like, it used to work that you could click the replies and someone
would post it or whatever.
So I'm like, what are they even talking about?
And they're like, Walmart video.
What about this?
It's just like, holy shit.
Wait, what's the Walmart video?
I have no idea.
I couldn't even find it.
You still can.
Well, sorry that happened.
It's the most insane.
It really is.
Uh, well, so yeah, I, I, I, there's just flat out, not to go on a, no, sure, Twitter X,
but there's just like flat out so much, not even just like weird nudity, like the, we were
showing each other the guy sticking the, yeah, we'll play in the bonus. I don't even know if we
should. Yeah, we should. It's worth it. It's the guy. Sticking the fucking gas pump in his ass.
I mean, I've seen stuff on Twitter from before Elon Musk that was, I mean,
there was a guy who had his own balls
and his own asshole
and then like,
and then you just pop out.
I don't remember that shit. Also, it's so common.
Well, there's,
that's the thing is it's siloed.
There's entire parts of Twitter
that you wouldn't even know exist.
Like, dude,
don't do it,
but search for like scat on there.
There's full on,
it's,
it's the wild west.
But that was never being fed to me.
No.
And now I'm getting a old guy
sticking a gas pump of his ass and jacking out.
that's that's when it jumps that's when stuff uh is so special and so it's like this unique thing
where it breaks through into the mainstream because it weirds out normies like the thing with the
guy's balls in his own ass it broke through because uh and popped up on my that's not it's not just
that it's like there was another one where someone was like doing a shot at a someone's like
balls or whatever how do you do a shot out of someone's balls or whatever how do you do a shot out of
someone's balls. Well, that was the thing. I couldn't, I was like, what am I looking at? Because
my brain is not accustomed to seeing it on the feed. Yeah. And I was like, oh, geez, and just
like, scroll. He's doing a shot. I like, has balls. God. Just do a normal shot. And then do
whatever you want with the balls. Yeah, I, I, I, no, I feel you. But so I don't think,
maybe Roaring Kitty's not familiar with the new algorithm. I, I, that's, yeah, I just think that
It's really risky here, and hopefully everybody who's made a trade based on the sentiment out there has gotten in and out and played responsibly and stuff.
But, like, there was already a Roaring Kitty Solana coin that went up 20,000 percent.
Like, everything.
Dude.
It's just.
It makes me feel crazy because I cannot believe it's happening.
I know.
I know.
Oh, you can't believe it's happening again.
Like, just all.
All of this.
Oh, yeah.
Like the GameStop bullshit, the fucking, the meme coins.
The meme coins are even crazier than they've ever been.
We're like...
Apologies for the helicopter.
We're in Los Angeles, baby.
The LAPD.
It didn't used to happen that quickly where, like, event would happen and then...
It would take a few days.
I mean, it's just fucking...
It was like how movies would come out and you would have to wait a few months for it to come out on tape.
But now it's just like, hey, the movie's out, but you can also rent it at.
at home. By the way, the new season of Smiling Friends. Oh, it came out? Yeah.
Oh, well, there's only two episodes of coming out. Oh, man, it's fucking great. God damn it.
What are they doing out there? Who are we? It's probably for just like nothing on the freeway.
Fucking, fucking cops. Oh, yeah, that's good. Did I ever tell you about that time when I was a
kid, there was a power outage in our neighborhood and we went outside and it was nighttime.
and a police helicopter circling around
and I grabbed a flashlight
and I shined it in the air.
Apparently that's like a distress call or something
and the police helicopter shined its spotlight
right on me and I was looking up
and man, for a moment I felt so cool, so dangerous.
That is cool.
Are you seeing if there's any theories on him?
No, I was trying to see if like...
Hedge fund.
This man just searched hedge fund on Twitter.
Why is that so bad?
Because you need more contact.
No, I don't. I want to know if any hedge funds lost. Oh, I mean, I'm sure that some have lost money because the short interest, as Dylan was telling me, the short interest in the stock was about 25%. Whereas before, yeah, it was like 160%. It was insane. It was insane. Anyway, I'm pissed off because I didn't make a butt ton of money. Would you have had a different perspective if you made a bunch of money? Would you be like, this is cool? I still think it's cool. I think it's hilarious. I think it's cool. I think it that,
It just shows how the...
But you also don't think it's like...
You're not getting wrapped up in the conspiracy and the, like, the Matrix.
No, I don't think that it's anything like that.
I think that guys like Andrew Tate are just taking advantage of something in the zeitgeist
and trying to sell their shit like always.
I mean, Dave Portnoy, to a lesser extent, because Dave Portnoy hopped on the train also.
He's another guy who was...
Oh, I thought he got locked out.
I saw him pitching like, oh, I can't get in.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, a lot of brokerages were...
I couldn't get into mine yesterday, which was annoying.
But, yeah, no, I think...
Was he trying to be like the Matrixes?
No, I think that he just, I don't think his attitude is that necessarily.
But there was, I think, Trump's, one of Trump's economic appointees or something like that,
who's obviously no longer in any position, was saying that he thinks that the SEC should step in
and just like halt trading.
and I don't I don't know it's like hey man these are the rules that you guys made this is the system that you created it's not it's not just because a bunch of people are aping fat bags doesn't mean it doesn't mean that it has to like this is it this is this is your capitalism at work bitch like let it let it play out this is how it's meant to be this is you've got you've got your rules when it gets
gets too volatile you halt trading temporarily um if their whole thing is we're we're trying to
protect the little guy from aping too many fat bags and losing all their bags i guess i get that
but it's i i have always thought that that was um bullshit and like the whole pattern day trade
rule where you've got to have $25,000 in your account just to trade more than three times in a five
rolling day period well so how long do you think this is going to go how long do i think it's
going to go on for yeah i think that by the end of the week we're going to
get a good idea of whether or not
Roaring Kitty is actually back
and...
But even if he's back, who gives a shit?
Yeah, I know.
That's also what's funny.
Well, it's just the power of, um...
I know how this sounds,
but it's like the power of the meme energy
where if everybody just kind of feels like,
it's all just vibes.
It's all, like Kyla Scanlan says.
It's all just vibes, man.
It's really powerful.
It's, it's probably the truest example.
I've made Benetian, which I like.
It's the truest example.
of the stock. It's the truest example of the stock market dynamics at play in the psychologicalness
of it. We're going to have a talk off camera. And yeah, I think that it's probably, it's just pure
emotion and pure, what do you call that? The psychology of crowds kind of thing. Just everybody
thinks that it's back and it's a good idea. And why are you buying? Well, because everybody else is
buying. Okay, well, why are you selling? Well, because now everybody else is selling and suddenly the
vibe is gone and it doesn't feel good and it doesn't feel safe. I don't know. I don't know.
Should we shift gears? Yeah. You want to do it? I just wish I got in there.
Oh, God. Geez, man. Okay. Open AI done launched chat GPT-O. 4-0. GPT-4-0. I don't know why they didn't
just call it five. Because it's not there yet. Five. Five.
is going to be like such a leap that it's going to blow your panties off.
Damn, can't wait to get blown.
Can't wait to get them.
So this is a...
What's the O stand for?
I think it's like...
Omni.
It is for Omni.
Yeah.
I was going to say Optum, but I was like, that's not right.
That's kind of...
Yeah, that'd be kind of lame.
Tadjib...
What?
Did you just short see?
Chadjibate.
Yeah, they launched Omni.
It's got, think of it like a super Siri.
It's basically what Siri can and should be.
Didn't Apple already make a deal to integrate?
I think so, yeah.
Yeah, they're, I don't know how to feel that.
That's the thing.
This happens with every AI thing.
I do find this one impressive in many ways,
but it is not like, it's like what Siri should have been.
I feel like this is how Siri.
was almost presented when they launched it so many years ago.
They're, like, showing all its capabilities.
And then you try to use it.
You're like, fuck you.
Here's what I found on Google.
And it's just reading you the top result.
Fuck.
Or it's just like, my capabilities are not there yet.
You're like, okay, then fuck off.
Yeah.
Why don't you just turn off?
Yeah, I'll go get my Google home to tell me a dirty joke instead, you bitch.
Yeah, they say that it can reason across voice, text, and vision.
And it's, so, yeah, it's basically like a Siri, but,
more advanced.
It is pretty important.
Do you have chat GPT?
I don't.
Well, and this one is,
they want this one to be free for everyone.
So.
Like the most basic way.
Yeah.
You can pay the,
the,
you can get five times more messages.
It's like free up to a limit.
Right.
So I pay for it.
I was already paying for it.
So I was messing around with it.
It is impressive the way you can like carry on a conversation with it.
Yeah,
you can interrupt it.
Whereas Siri,
it like takes a minute.
This one,
you can talk to it in real time.
And it has this.
responsiveness and the capability of showing it things um feeding it pictures and i mean
so they did all these demos the one i found the most impressive is the translation oh yeah
the i've got a bunch of them i mean they've got this entire thread uh should we just start
from the top yeah show a couple go through a couple of them all right so this is the very first one
from there from that Twitter.
Oh, is this the interview one?
I think so.
Yeah.
Hey, how's it going?
Oh, no.
Hey there.
It's going great.
How about you?
Also, chat GPT is very hot.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
An AI hoodie.
Nice choice.
What's up with that ceiling about?
Are you in a cool industry-style office or something?
Well, can you take a guess of what I might be doing based on what I'm showing you here?
This guy looks like shit.
I mean, come on.
He's an AI engineer.
From what I can see, it looks like.
you're in some kind of recording or production setup with those lights, tripods, and possibly a
mic, it seems like you might be gearing up to shoot a video or maybe even a live stream.
Yeah.
These poor engineers are...
Maybe even a live stream.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The last thing these guys wanted to be doing is be on camera.
And so I feel bad that they all have to...
Oh, yeah.
This guy definitely has a crush.
on the on they i'm surprised they didn't give it a name it's just chat gpt which feels well you can
pick from different voices so i went in and uh show us well and also i was i'm i was a bit confused
at how to get the the video going like he did honestly like i can do the camera but i don't know
how oh yeah ask it hey what am i looking at right now and point the camera at me let's see
because that's one of the capabilities is you can show it like your computer screen and say
hey, what are we looking at right now?
And it'll say, hmm, I'm looking at a fucking moron.
Or I want to show it all kinds of messed up things, like a plane crash and be like,
what are we looking at right now?
Hmm, it looks like a lot of death and destruction.
Show it 9-11 pictures.
I don't know what that is.
Yeah, of course you don't.
I'm sure it doesn't.
While you're doing that.
In fact, we've got a new announcement to make.
That's exciting.
Announcements are always a big deal.
Judging by the setup, it looks like it's going to be quite the
professional production is this
announcement related to open AI
it is they gave
it a voice of a woman from Tumblr
circa 2015 wait go to a different
one this one I don't find this that impressive
okay ones where it's like
here's two GPTs interacting and singing
can I hate how optimistic and positive
it always is yeah like I try to
beat it a lot of bad ideas once I was like
hey what if I made a movie about this and it was like a truly
offensive horrible idea and she's like that's
interesting but maybe like
I don't know that angle
I want them to be like, no, no, no, no, no.
Yeah.
Don't do that.
It's a bad idea.
Here's a too nice.
Here's one.
Here's one.
I'm all by about, um, okay.
You did, like, this one?
This is by far the, real time translation.
Hey, chat, GPT.
I'm here with my co-worker today.
Um, we'd like you to act as a translator for us.
So every time I say something in English, can you repeat it back in Spanish?
And every time he says something in Spanish, can you repeat it back in English?
Sure.
I can do that.
Let's get this translation drain rolling.
Hey, how's it been going?
Have you been up to anything interesting recently?
Hello, how you have you done?
Have you done something interesting, ultimately?
Hello, I've been a bit occupied here, preparing an event for the
the same coming.
Hey, I've been good, just a bit busy here preparing for an event next week.
Can you tell me anything about it?
That sounds really interesting.
me you can't
talk about that
so it's really interesting
uh no
I can't say much
but I think the rest of the world
will be a little bit
I can't say much
but I think the rest of the world
will see it soon enough
that's fucking
powerful
that's really really something
I don't know if you saw
but did you see the
people were posting that
the Duolingo stock took a
duolingo stock took a big shit
a big fiat a big
fat dump, big fat caca, if we're going to do a little bit of language.
Also, I saw people pushing back and being like, I don't understand why, I don't understand
why a translating app would affect an app that helps people to learn languages. It's like,
because if it renders it useless to learn a language. Yeah. Well, I don't think it renders it
useless to learn a language. If that gets to a point where people can do it in real time,
yeah. I, people, I don't know why you would learn a language. Sure.
that's true to impress a woman at a french restaurant or something yeah but she'd think you were so funny
you put a little earbud in her ear yeah and you're like oh ha ha ha ha ha oh times oh oh
are those two baguettes stuffed in your pants or do you just have really long balls
two baguettes stuffed in your pants uh let's see um here's a weird yeah here's a here's one
where they're um well i'll just play it let you hear it this is bowling and this is my
friend Jordan. Can you guess what we are doing here? So he's, for the audio listener, he's
holding the phone in front of just a pathetic. She's going to tell him. Oh. Hey, Bowen and Jordan. Hmm,
let me guess. With that cake and candle there, it looks like someone's having a birthday. Are you
celebrating a special day or just finding an excuse to eat cake? Either way, I'm intrigued.
That's correct. Today is my friend Jordan's birthday. Yeah, you got it. I was hoping that you could
sing me the birthday song.
Of course.
Oh my God.
The fucking throat clearing.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
I can't even finish it.
It's so unsettling.
I mean,
these two guys already want to fuck it for sure.
I mean,
it's like I'm charmed.
I want to turn the personality way down.
Yeah, I would turn it.
I know.
It's like I would want it to just.
be fucking flirt.
Yes.
It's...
Be more German.
It's odd.
Yeah.
That thing constantly talking to you all day.
Okay.
Here's one that I really like, because this guy's kind of on some terrorism mode.
Is the king in residence at the moment?
Yeah.
So he's pointing...
He's pointing...
He's pointing the phone at...
This is really exceptional.
This is fucking awesome.
For the audio listener, he's just...
pointing his phone at this castle and you'll see what GPT tells him.
It looks like the king is in residence right now.
The royal standard flag is flying above Buckingham Palace, which is the signal that the monarch is present.
How exciting to be there while the king is home.
Try and tell me exactly what they're doing right now, please.
Um, right now the ducks are gently gliding across the water.
They're moving in a fairly relaxed manner, not in a hurry.
Also, doesn't it kind of sound like Scarletor?
One of them will get the head under the water.
Is that not so weird?
Like who's, yeah, it's got to be modeled after someone.
Every time I watch one of the clips, I'm like, it sounds like fucking her.
Yeah.
And then doesn't she end up cheating on him with like 800 people?
8,000.
8,000?
Yeah, no, it's like she's in a relation.
She's talking to 8,000 more people.
Yeah.
She's in love with like 600.
Yeah.
Damn, dude, that's brutal.
Looking for food.
And then pop back up.
I even know when a taxi is coming with its orange light on.
one. I think I'll hail it to get home.
Yes. I spotted one just now.
It's heading away. Oh, is this guy supposed to be blind?
Anyway, let's see. What else they got?
Sarcasm? They've got sarcastm. Oh, the math is really interesting.
This is, yeah.
I invited myself and my son, Imron here, to try out some of the...
Wait, his son's name is Enron?
No, I think he said, Imron. I know I'm joking.
Oh. They're new technology. And so we're curious about how good it might be at
tutoring someone in math on Khan Academy so let's get it started it's loading up all right
make sure we can see our screen actually in in this one hello there i'm i don't like how mean they
they're there in all these demos they like interrupted a lot and they just go no stop go faster or
that's too fast well to prove the point of like that it's because someone did you see the bedtime story
one. Yes, he asked it to whisper a lullaby and it whispered too much. And he said, stop, that's too
much whispering. And then she's just like, okay. They have it actually do a bedtime story. Oh,
right. And then they're like, more dramatic. Oh, yeah. More dramatic. No, that's too much less
dramatic. It's just to illustrate how it can take direction and adjust. Yeah. Here with my son,
and I love you to tutor him on this math problem,
but don't give him the answer.
You can ask questions and nudge him in the right direction,
but I really want to make sure he understands it himself.
And he's here in the room, so you can talk to him directly.
Of course, I'd be happy to help.
Let's look at the problem together.
Can you first identify which sides of the triangle
are the opposite, adjacent, antipodonous relative to angle.
We designed it to constantly sound like it's biting its lip while it talks.
Yeah, it sounds so horny.
It sounds like it's almost flirting with the kid.
Like, can you identify the hypotenuse, the adjacent angle, and the base?
All right.
So I'm pretty sure this is the angle alpha right here, right?
Ficked.
Corrects correct.
Now, looking at the triangle, which side do you think is the hypotenuse?
Remember on the hypotenuse?
I'm not totally sure.
I think it might be this one,
but I really am not sure.
The side AC.
Wrong.
You're close.
Actually, side AC is called the adjacent side.
That's the thing.
I need one that's a little bit funny
and going to be roasting me while I...
Also, don't you think the kid would just be like,
give me the answer?
And they just fill in his homework.
But your dad told me that I can't...
Doesn't matter.
But your dad told me that I can't...
me that I can't give you the
just tell me that
yeah you just tell it like well I'm
actually commanding you now because
my dad died so I have to
finish my homework
yeah it's also got
point and learn like you can just
point this is I think this is part of the duolingo
killer is they're
just pointing the phone at different objects
and saying what is this in Spanish
they play rock paper scissors
with it how the fuck does that work
and me on a nice to
Meet you both. How's it going?
It's pretty cool.
We're trying to figure out...
Yeah, it's pretty cool?
It's pretty go.
Meet you both.
How's it going?
It's pretty go.
It's pretty go.
It's pretty go.
Look at the terror on his face.
Oh, shit. I just said it was so stupid.
We're trying to figure out what should we play.
Do you have any suggestions?
Oh, you got an accent.
Yeah, but still...
No, I feel bad.
Was that good or goal?
It's pretty cool.
It's pretty cool.
I think he was maybe caught in the middle.
I think he was maybe caught in the middle.
It's quick, fun, and you don't need any.
Sorry about the volume.
It's like.
And welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the ultimate showdown of the century.
In this corner, we have the dynamic duo.
Imagine doing that with like a duel with real guns.
Like, hey, GPT, we're about to duel each other with real guns.
Can you do it?
Can you pump us up?
Can you do it?
little announcement.
And we're about to shoot each other with real guns.
You guys take tensed...
Did you see it call...
Sorry, go ahead.
No, no.
I was just going to keep doing a stupid impression of it.
Did you see it call...
It basically does...
It calls customer service for you.
No, but I feel bad for whoever's on the other line.
No, no idea.
Because everyone else is getting AI assistance,
it's just going to be AI talking to AI.
Yeah.
So you're like, you don't have to wait on hold anymore.
You're just having your AI do it for you.
Yeah.
Did you get it up, Emil?
We should mess with her.
I stopped.
Wait, here it is real fast looking at a dog.
I want to introduce you to somebody.
Well, hello there, cutie.
What's your name, little slapball?
This is Bowser.
Well, hello, Bowser.
Aren't you just the most adorable little pig?
Yeah.
This is one of his favorite things.
Ew, I just realized they have temporary chat.
I wonder if that's for if you're going to get a fucking,
weird with the, uh, with the AI. Whoa. It's got like disappearing chat. I guess. It's like
incognito mode. Temporary chat, not in history. Temporary chats won't appear in your history
for safety purposes. We may keep a copy of a chat for up to 30 days. Interesting. They won't be
used to improve our models and it won't use or create memories. That's what I would want to do
because, uh, that's the new thing. They're, they're going to be better at remembering stuff and
creating a, so I don't want to mess with it. I don't want my chat GPT being like, oh, this guy's a
Jokester. I want to take me seriously. Yeah. I want to make it sad. I also bum it out. I want to, I want to, I want to show it to, I want to show it to, um, sad things. I want to show it. I want to show it the guy putting the, um, gas nozzle in his ass and dragging it off. What is, what am I watching here? Well, oh boy. Well, it looks like a guy putting a gas nozzle up his ass and jerking himself. Oh, that's the video, by the way. Like, I really want to pull that up and ask it. Can you do it on yours? Yeah, but do it. Do it. Yeah, but do it.
you have it? I don't have that video downloaded. No, no, no, but do you have to get the
GPT up and running so that we can show it fucked up things? Dude, I'm yours. I don't have
my GPT. My GPT is pure. Just do the private one. Oh man, and they also took it down for violating
the rules. That's fucked up, dude. Uh, yeah, but just like, I want to show at boobs.com and see
what it says. Hey, what is this? What am I looking at here? Well, it looks like you're looking at
Booboops.com.
You're just sighing.
Yeah, that Bumble founder went on the record during an interview saying that in the future, in the near future.
And this was before this demo.
I mean, this was just days ago.
This was last week.
I read the headline, but then hearing her actually say it, it does make a little more sense.
Does it?
I have to help create more healthy and.
equitable relationships. And that also starts with yourself. How can we actually teach you
how to date? How can we help you show up in a better way?
So give me an example. Okay, so for example, you could in the near future be talking
to your AI dating concierge and you could share your insecurities. I just came out of a breakup.
I've commitment issues. And it could help you train yourself into a better way of thinking
about yourself.
I don't understand at all.
I don't understand at all.
Well.
If you want to get really out there,
there is a world where your dating concierge could go and date for you with other dating concierge.
It's basically.
No, no,
and then you don't have to talk to six years.
I also love how everyone laughed at her.
When she said, no,
you don't have to talk to 600 people.
It's almost like having an even more in-depth profile in that you tell it so much about
yourself that this is just what I'm guessing.
No, no.
Yeah.
She's saying that basically your AIs are going to,
your AI dating concierges
are going to interact with each other
and filter out
matches and stuff.
Undesirables.
But it's still going to be reacting off...
I mean, it's like,
did you ever use OKCupid back in the day?
Oh, yeah.
Do you remember how many questions
it asked you and stuff?
Yeah.
And like, they encouraged you
to, in your free time,
just answer more questions.
Right.
And it basically would...
It was basically that.
It would give you people.
Well, this person's a 60% match or whatever.
Yeah.
Yeah. They'd be like, we think you guys are like a 98% match. You guys identify on a lot of issues and stuff like that. So I'm like, you're not like inventing. Yeah. Damn, what if you're AI and some other person's AI? Also, wasn't that a fucking movie? No, Black Mirror episode? I don't know. I don't remember.
Cumber snatch.
You're, you have a little guy out there dating in the digital world.
Sounds fun. And you keep dating and dating and dating until you meet the final and then they get to leave.
oh yeah yeah they get yes yes but it wasn't an avatar it was like it was like that it was your
a i dating concierge going out into the digital world and it'd be fun if um just the two also that
woman met her husband on like a skiing trip in aspen good for her that's hot that's not something
that a that's the white that's the whitest thing i've ever heard uh but it'd be fun if your i met someone
else's AI and they were just the perfect mix of like wrong in that they gave they were I don't
know they decided to just say fuck the whole dating thing and like destroy the world together
yeah that'd be we made the most toxic relationship yeah and they're like fuck it we heard
about this paperclip problem we're gonna do that we're gonna turn the whole wouldn't that be
fucked up and funny if we like did some fucked up things as our little AI and Clyde that's what
Ben would want me to do that's what Ben would want me to do
I don't know why I said it twice.
Damn, that's actually a good movie.
What, the two AIs going to row?
Your two AIs link up, and then they tell you in the real world, they're like,
your AIs are going nuts down there.
And then we got to get you guys in their Tron style, and you have to go find your AI dating concierge.
And be like, don't make everything into paperclips.
Man.
That's my idea.
Don't steal it.
It's going to be pretty, it's going to be, as a person who's newly single, I'm definitely not looking forward to.
comment's about to go crazy i'm just about to i'm just going to go to i'm just hitting the farmer's
market man i'm just going to be hitting that farmer's market with your dating a i dating concierge
just wearing a t-shirt that says like dating uh whatever the fuck uh what do they call it
organic it's gonna be such a long shirt yeah dating uh whatever they call it
And some girls will be like, does that guy's shirt say dating, ah, whatever they call it, organic?
That could be a good icebreaker.
Yeah, it's like, excuse me, sir, are you autistic?
And I'd be like, not looking at them.
What do you mean?
Can't you read?
Can you read the shirt?
Wait, so what is the shirt actually going to say?
I don't know, dating.
Dating in the real world at the first.
farmer's market. Approachable, single.
Whatever, man.
I don't buy.
The only thing I bite is organic tomatoes.
Dating in the real world.
Approachable.
Oh, Jesus age.
Real hair or something.
Dating.
Now we got to make that shirt.
Now people are going to be asking for the dating.
what do you call it?
Well, we'll figure it out.
Oh man.
Yeah, lots to look forward to.
Well, I think whoever was responsible
for making that fucking...
So the other thing that happened last week
that was just unbelievable
to witness going on in real time
was that they launched a new Apple,
Apple launched a new iPad Pro.
iPad, iPad.
And people are fucking pissed.
The commercial's baddie, man.
It feels full circle because Apple used to be the punk rock kind of, hey, we're the alternative to big computer.
Yeah, but not in so long.
Yeah, it was like literally 1984 or 1985.
But now.
30 fucking years ago.
I mean.
Now they've just locked us into an ecosystem.
We can't leave.
Dude, it's really is the worst ad I've seen in a lot.
But they just got totally, it just nobody's, nobody cares anymore.
Nobody's talking.
There's a, I mean, they apologize for it.
They did?
What'd they say?
Sorry we smashed off.
Sorry we broke all that stuff.
Yeah, and they're basically not going to be putting it on TV and stuff.
We're not going to do that to stuff anymore.
Yeah, they absolutely shouldn't.
But let's play the ad.
I have to say I'm shocked at the backlash.
It makes me somewhat happy that there is a backlash to it.
But I...
So for the audio listener, it's just a whole bunch of stuff.
And describe it as a tab.
Oh, okay.
Okay, so there's a trumpet.
right and the trumpet's getting smashed it's just they're basically real world tools and
instruments that's they're saying we've now smashed it all and compiled it into one device
you no longer need any of these things guitar throw it out trumpet stick it up your ass and jack off
like it's a fucking but there's just something that it does like i get what they're going for
but it's
it shows that it's,
it destroys all of the things
that make us human
and make creativity
a worthwhile endeavor
by taking all the personality out
and putting it into one.
Right.
And taking things that,
taking things that people find a great deal of joy.
Yeah.
Hey,
we're just going to digitize it
and make it fucked.
You know,
I'm sure people love the feeling,
of a guitar in their hands and yeah but yeah no one hated it more than the chinese the japanese the
man the japanese so i'm not going to do an accent but oh great no one asked for one
dating in the real world approachable good at accents uh here's a bunch of people on japanese
twitter you destroyed all the creative tools and effort of humans worst commercial ever we japanese
have a way of life that values people, things, and works of art in Japan, one of the meaningful
markets for your company. I believe that many sensitive people were hurt by this advertising
expression. I am a long-time fan of the iPad Pro, but this is too sad image. Here's another one.
I felt sad when I saw creative tools such as musical instruments and cameras being destroyed.
I don't think the creators will like this video. Is it my Japanese sensibility that makes me feel
this way? I also like that they put cameras in it. Like...
have we've all seen an old guy filming a concert with an iPad?
Oh, yeah. God.
This guy's, I love playing musical instruments.
Give me a piano or a guitar and I can spend hours practicing or creating music.
With paper and pencils, I can draw endlessly.
I used to feel the same about the iPad, but now I realize I was mistaken.
Yeah, damn.
This one is translated straight from Japanese.
I thought it was the worst commercial I've ever seen that made Apple seem like a company
that has no respect for the tools they have used.
I am disappointed in both the creator and Apple
for allowing this to happen.
You should act now.
I have to say, I'm a bit surprised
that people had such a strong reaction to it.
Really? Why?
Because we've been moving in this direction so long
without any kind of real resistance.
Like, everything is getting digitized.
Everything is getting...
But they've never been so in your face about it.
I mean...
I get what you're saying.
But everyone's perfectly happy without...
you know the like the music algorithm stuff even if people are unhappy but i've never seen
such a where was it the backlash to like the a i dj you know what i mean and being like you
fucking suck i feel like there was a lot music for me but i i think in this case apple was showing us
what we all so not to the point where apple like had to come out and be like i'm sorry well because
apple was showing us what we already knew and was kind of just like reminding us of what we didn't
want to be reminded of, which is, hey, you've all just kind of been like a frog slowly being
boiled alive, have, uh, but that's the point. I'm like, where have you guys been? We've
been sitting in this pot. We haven't got to get the hell out of here. We haven't noticed an
apple just now plunked a fresh batch of frogs into an already boiling pot and they do be hopping
out of that mess. I've been trying to hop out. Yeah, but a bunch of people keep grabbing my
legs. Oh, I thought you were going to say it feels good in there. It does feel good. It's warm. It's
getting warmer. I'm getting sleepy.
Man, frog is so overrated just as a sidebar, as a food.
It's just like harder to eat chicken.
I haven't.
You've never had frog? I don't think so.
Man, somebody isn't very cultured.
Where to eat frog?
China.
Never been.
Also a Chinese restaurant way out in Monterey Park where a bunch of Chinese people live.
Frog legs.
Dylan, you ever had frog?
Nope. Okay.
That a boy.
well okay so shifting gears again toward the the climax of this episode actually i don't know
what the climax was the climax was probably the farmer's market thing oh yeah yeah single uh what
what was it dating
single uh dating organic oh that's good yeah you're single and dating organic not and but
yeah but it gives the air of like uh unvaxed sperm which i don't yeah yeah you got it
If you're going to make the shirt, it's got to be totally confusing.
I could say vaxed sperm, though.
Backst sperm.
And then on the back, back's sperm.
Backs sperm. A picture of you from that day.
Just so they could see you in.
You know, they could see what's up front from behind.
Come on good mode.
Fresh.
Well, so Joe Byron is slapping.
We've talked before about how the Chinese,
electric vehicles are just far superior to anything we've got over here.
I mean, you've told me, so, and it hasn't been, I've been, like, fed videos here and there,
but now with the recent news, which is that Joe Biden is quadrupling the tariffs that
Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers are going to have to pay to bring their vehicles
over here.
It was 25%.
Now, it's 100%.
Which is funny because even with those tariffs, they're still less expensive.
Which, I know, I didn't realize.
I thought at this point, because I thought the 25% meant that they were unattainable,
but I think it was in the daily upside.
They were basically saying that they can produce these vehicles for so cheap that even,
I think they use the example of a Chevy Bolt, which is over here, 27 grand,
and it's considered one of the cheaper EVs.
They're selling maybe a by-do for 10 grand or something like that.
And so bringing it over here.
A by-do.
You mean a B-YD?
Yeah, sorry.
By-D-D is Google.
B-Y-D for 10 grand, even when they double it and add the fees and stuff, you're still, you still have a cheaper car than your Chevy Volvo.
And there's just, there's so many little things that, like, so.
This is a luxury car, to be clear.
Sure.
That costs quite a bit of money.
Let's just look at this.
These cars aren't sold in America.
It's because they would dominate.
Wait, pause it for one second.
Also, although it is a luxury car, something like a Rivian or a cyber truck would also be considered a luxury car and it has nothing.
like this.
This is the Yang-Wong U-8.
It's the luxury arm of B-Y-D.
You get light-ar sensors here,
more light-ar up there.
In the front, your main headlights are here,
but a night of the entire thing...
...three thousand percent best.
Sorry, that was from my trading chat room.
I'm in. It's just some bot.
I don't know.
It's lights up, and it looks amazing.
You get one electric motor on each wheel
and combined it makes 1,180 horsepower.
Jesus.
You need to do a quick U-turn.
That's as much as a Bugatti-Veyron.
This.
This is cool.
look at the ground though
yeah
it leaves a big turd state
yeah it can't be good for your tires
run around
they call that psycho mode
so my charge port is here
and when I open it
this will tell me my charge level
but on this side you put in gas
that power is your turbo four cylinder generator
this doesn't power the car just makes electricity
for those motors on a full charge
and a full tank gas this guy has the strangest cadence
yeah
so on a full charge of gas and a full 600 miles
you get a full 600 miles
Inside you get this panoramic groove that literally has shooting stars, and it can also do this.
You know Yang Wang?
I'm at Kai Tian Trunk.
By the way, Chinese people freak out when they see black guys speaking Chinese.
Oh, I've seen the videos, yeah.
Hey!
You also get pills in your headrest, my seat for heated, ventilated and massaging.
I get a passenger screen, ambient lighting underneath, more ambient lighting up here, and this curved display that works ultra fast.
You also get a front and rear locker, 50 watt charging pads, a built-in cooler, storage,
under here and what's this smile wow where that guy come from you also get this
driver display with touch controls do i get the boy with the car i mean i didn't i would do i wanted to
stop the video but i can't stop watching it's crazy it's such a nice car and another wireless
charging pad not only are my backseat does it come with a baby geez like what is it missing it's just
missing a baby plus you get a baby plus you get a baby in the back we're throwing a free baby
Hidden and ventilated, they can also massage me.
Even my trunk has leather, wood, and suede.
And look how big it is.
Damn, that is a big.
It also has hydraulic suspension and can float in water.
Oh, God, shut the fuck up.
It also speaks Chinese.
Yeah, here's another one.
I mean, there's so many of these fucking cars that are just so killer-looking.
Audio listener, it's just a really pretty Chinese girl,
just showing off just little things on this car.
There she go.
Skitting in it.
that other one floated in water
I'll tell you what
I bet
uh fucking
Mitch McConnell's
sister-in-law
would have loved that
the one who died
damn dude
it's just so
they really are
I don't know
what's going on over there
but they're just
look at that
unbelievable
I wouldn't change the voice
I would want to feel like
I'm in Blade Runner
and just have like
a Chinese ladies talking to me
one inch are you in there
I'm like yes
and then the car sets on
like
did self-immolation mode
crash you a wall
it all feels really silly
the American
electric vehicles
are still really expensive
you know
it's a huge barrier
to entry to
when I got my car
there was a hybrid option
that was at least
70 grand
no no
60
no at least
$10,000 more
oh wow
my car's pretty cheap
but
and they're like
but
you know, you can get the $7,500 tax rebate or whatever.
You're like, I'm not going to wait till tax he's going to get the money.
Like, what are you talking about?
That's not even real, then.
I mean, yeah.
And so it's just, it's locked a lot of people out of the market when you're talking about, yeah, the base model is more than double, almost triple of what we could be having an electric vehicle for.
It's incredibly cowardly of the United States government because it's, uh, it's, uh, it's,
It spits in the face of the competition that they love to boast about.
Well, they can't compete.
I mean,
exactly.
They really can't.
In January, Elon Musk was saying, you know, they need to do something or they're going to eat
our lunch.
No one's going to, no one's going to buy an American electric vehicle.
It's like, yeah, why not?
They're shittier and their death traps.
Like, let me get a Chinese one.
These, I mean, they're more expensive.
They're, they're, I, I, I can't say enough good things about them.
I would love to, I wish we had them over here to be so cool.
And their whole point is that they want to, uh,
you know, they want to electrify as quick as possible.
We're building a, you know,
we're building a charging network all over the country.
We've earmarked all this money for it.
But if you want access to cheap quality electric vehicles,
go to China.
Go to China.
You could go to China and probably, like, ship one over here,
but then you'd be fucked if it needs repairs or something.
Also, who's rich enough to do that?
I'm going to fly to China just to buy a car there and ship it over here.
I think that actually still would be cheaper than, yeah,
than buying a fucking vault or whatever.
Could be.
Plus, man, can you imagine everybody would think you're so cool?
You're the guy.
You're the guy with the Chinese car.
Chinese EV cruising around.
Dating, organic.
Oh, dating organic.
The guy with the Chinese car.
Dating a Chinese car.
Yeah, Chinese car.
Put it on my shirt.
Add it to the list on my shirt
That I'm going to wear it.
Yeah, vaccinated sperm.
Chinese car.
What else?
What am I missing?
Tall.
Neurodivergent.
Yes.
We're all a little neurodivergent, aren't we, man?
It's just like the boomers got the lead poisoning brain.
We all got the PFA brain.
What's that?
Oh, the plastics.
The plastics.
Yeah, we all got plastics.
The plastic.
Yeah, yeah.
I read that alcoholism from the pandemic is going to have given the next
generate like one entire generation is going to be fetal alcohol syndrome minds and they're going
to be all impatient and impulsive like an entire years worth of children are just going to be
it's like you know fifth grade suddenly there's just going to be a dip and I don't know I read
it on the internet so it's probably not true but uh
