And slutty girls would, like, wipe the mirror and then cut to them, like, shaking their Because then they cut to them, like, shaking their boobs. Is that a slutty thing to do? I don't know.

Starting point is 00:01:22 suck oh by the way huge we never gave nath a shout out from from the chic Chicago show. There was a guy at the Chicago show. Maybe we'll release a clip of it or something. Oh yeah, that's a good idea. We should definitely clip some of the stuff from the live show because it was too good. He took, he was asleep in the front row of the show
Starting point is 00:01:41 15 minutes into the show. Just asleep. And he was one of the guys I guessed listed. I said, does anyone want to, we don't know anyone in Chicago. We have guessless spots. Does anyone want one? He reached out and just ate two giant edibles and passed out right in the front row. Yeah. And then there were people in the who had attended the show saying that they were
Starting point is 00:01:59 Nate heads in the thing that's yeah gotta love gotta love the people anyway what are they saying what are they saying
Starting point is 00:02:06 what are people always saying they're saying hey why is there not an intro song to your podcast yeah we miss the old shows
Starting point is 00:02:15 intro and we said we said give us 50 episodes yeah give us 50 episodes we'll figure it out we'll figure it out we'll figure it out in 50
Starting point is 00:02:23 God I can't believe it's been almost a year and a lot of you might be saying hey that's not a great gift you're just doing something you should have done from the start but to those people you're right yeah but this is your gift yeah all right let's hit the intro and there it is we've also got a new thing we're going to be doing the comment of the week in the comment of the week this week I really should have written down who said it so I apologize
Starting point is 00:03:15 you didn't write down who said I know I just wrote down the comment itself it came from the Ben and Emile show you comment let us know but this person said you two look like Jesus Christ if you split him into two people. Which feels like a throwback to one of our older favorite comments, which was? Ben looks modernly Jewish. Modernly Jewish? What was it?
Starting point is 00:03:38 They said, you look biblically Jewish and I look like contemporary Jewish or something like that. Someone said it much better than us. Incredibly accurate. We got a really good 50th episode for you guys. A veritable classic. Oh, also we're going to. tell you what the P.O. box is in the bonus episode. Why the bonus? Because otherwise, I think too many. The true, the true. Too many people might send stuff in all at once and
Starting point is 00:04:07 yeah. Then it would overwhelm the box. Yeah. The smell of shit coming from that box. It's going to be overwhelming. Yeah. So maybe we'll do a slow roll. Also, some people have been posting old trillionaire mindset clips on the subreddit. And whoever's doing that, I got to give you a huge salute because they really make me happy. Yeah, they're fun. They're so fun. man to see us we look like teenagers you look like you look like a baby i still look like a i look like a baby i look like a lesbian high school physical education teacher i don't think i always i feel like i look younger now i would say less that you look older now it's just that looking at you in by contrast i mean i think we can all agree that i look better
Starting point is 00:04:51 then these last couple years have been hard on me yeah these last couple years have been hard on all of us about it. But we got a banger episode. We're going to be talking about the cringiest thing we've ever seen come out of the tech world, which says a lot because a lot of cringy things have happened. We're going to do some market stuff. We're going to be talking about Nvidia. I got some stocks that I'm looking at. You're looking at stocks? I'm looking at stocks, baby. I'm looking at them. The Google AI search results are hallucinating. Look, we don't want to, we didn't want to talk about AI again, but we got it. We have to. It's too funny. And my gosh, God, I hope they just bury themselves with this.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Did someone, did someone slip Google some, some LSD or some kind of psychedelic? Because that shit is hallucinating, man. Yeah. Also, Vivek Ramah. Go for it. Got Ramoswamy took a steak in BuzzFeed. We're going to talk about that a little bit. Chipotle's getting some big pushback for their portion sizes.
Starting point is 00:05:47 And, and I got some things to say about that. We're also going to be talking about, oh, man. If we got time, maybe we'll talk about the Ticketmastered Live Nation, hedge funds buying Chinese stocks. We got some local news, too. Maybe I'll have to push that to the bonus, but it is some good stuff. Man, what a full, complete episode. You know, and I don't even want to get into it yet, because I just want to chill for a sec. Yeah, take a second. Don't just rush into it. How's my mustache coming along? How's it look? You were talking shit last week. Remember that? Yeah, now I like it. Yeah, it looks good, huh? Are you, are you, you're yanking my chain?
Starting point is 00:06:24 No, I like it. I wouldn't yank your chain. Okay, you should try to grow one. You should do the monocidil like I've been doing. I'm not into body hacking. It's not body hacking. It's not body hacking. The only body hacking I do is at the gym.
Starting point is 00:06:35 That's pretty cool. Like, yeah, okay. Then you remember that really yoked guy at the gym? Me? The like bodybuilder guy at our gym that you no longer go to? Yeah. I saw him again today. I haven't seen him in a while and I gave him a nice little.
Starting point is 00:06:48 It's always nice when the hottest, most jacked guy at the gym knows you and is like cool with you. It makes you feel special. Like, yeah, I'm on your level. I don't talk to anyone. I'm not, yeah, you famously don't. Okay, well, hey, before we get into it. Unless I'm emailing management about too many dogs. Yeah, I went to your gym over the weekend with my friend Adam.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Oh, yeah, he told me he joined. And there was someone walked in with a dog and I was about to take a picture and text you. But then I didn't want to piss you off and ruin your whole day. Not on my holiday weekend. Yeah. Gang, we got a fun little offer for you from Mumu, our partner trading app, from now, until August 31st,
Starting point is 00:07:26 you're going to get five free shares of mystery stocks, whatever. It's free stocks. I mean, you can't beat that. When you deposit $100, if you deposit $1,000, you get an additional $10 free shares. That's a total of 15 free shares. You can also transfer an existing portfolio
Starting point is 00:07:49 and you get up to $300 in cash. I don't know what the fine print is. It's probably like you have to transfer a certain amount of assets to get up to $300. It's Yang Box. Oh, man. Oh, Andrew Yang, Buck's? Yeah, remember? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Also, speaking of cash, if you're a new user, you can earn an additional 3% for the first three months totaling, totaling, dang, 8.1% APY on uninvested cash. So all things consider, you put in a thousand bucks, you can make 80, just a, on your, just on your uninvested cash in, in three months. Not bad. Okay, let's get into the cringe stuff, shall we? I mean, my brother in Christ, it doesn't get worse. What would you say? Dare I say we are so back? Yeah, I would say before this, the cringiest thing would have to be Steve Balmer sweating on, back when he was the head of Microsoft and he was sweating on stage, talking about developers. Let's give people a little taste of what we got here. Okay, so we all know
Starting point is 00:08:51 Canva, right? Canva. You guys are all using the free version to create your little... I used Canva to create the thumbnails for the acid video. We love Canva. And yeah, so apparently they had like their annual... Apparently, they felt people didn't love it enough. Yeah, and they hired, I don't know who these people are. For the audio listener, it's like... Oh, that's the Jabberwockys. Wait, are you serious? Yeah, that's, um, that they got the whole Jabalakis together. But they're all not wearing masks. Oh, they don't do the masks anymore. You're messing with me. Okay, great. Okay. Awesome. God, I love being so gullible. I literally will believe anything.
Starting point is 00:09:29 This is that they're like annual meeting or something. Let's play a little bit up for it. Canva create? We've talked about a lot. Can we just take a minute to recap? Let's do it. Let's do it. You can redesign your work. Canva got that glow up. We redesigned everything from... Ooh. We read it. Ooh. Ooh. They redesigned everything.
Starting point is 00:09:56 This is all Lynn Manuel Miranda's as well. We redesign everything. Yeah, this is extremely Lynn Manuel Miranda coded. I mean, yeah. Yeah. Some CMO out there, some, some, I'm going to venture that it's a white woman, 42, on Bumble, single, career-oriented. This was her idea. What do you think?
Starting point is 00:10:17 Mm. Nothing wrong with that. I bet they got paid a lot for this. Oh, they probably got collectively, probably $250,000. So each of them is dancing for like, I fucking love this paycheck. Did you see Mark Rebellay doing the Google thing? Yeah. Yeah, he probably got paid.
Starting point is 00:10:39 And he's just going like, Google. Yeah. What the fuck up? Google. He probably made 500 grand to a million dollars, I would say. Oh, yeah. God, golly, man. my question is is it the real just keep playing it you know what we're going to talk over
Starting point is 00:10:57 I'm not going to talk over what's your question is it the real woman it's the because like the CTO or someone comes up I can't up in the zone sir yes I'm talking to all of you up there oh my goodness I just can't imagine a tech uh but what about me who is you're a CIO from an enterprise no she's not she's not she's a CIO this is a CIO this is a CIO this is a CIO this is a This is a clever way of them to, and I, this actually ties back into BuzzFeed. I blame BuzzFeed for all of this type of shit because they were the pioneers of, what do you call it, branded marketing? Oh, yeah. That's redundant.
Starting point is 00:11:32 People would come to you and be like, branded content. We want to go viral. We want to go viral. And they had one, they were cursed from the start because they had the fucking puppy chow video. Yeah. This guy, Max, who's genius, was starred in this video and it got like 50 million views. And it blew up because people were like, this is. ad this is what an ad could be and yeah ever since it's like the old spice thing everybody's trying
Starting point is 00:11:54 to do the old spice thing and be weird you guys right and i'd like to have some certainty nice that you got some pretty shiny things but can you meet the demands of a global machine we got pretty high stakes no room to air we need more and a beautiful this is creativity this is this is positive i mean these people really can't dance of course I can It's a freaking Javillakis I also don't know
Starting point is 00:12:23 like who they're Target audience Rapping at Like The audience Being like You don't think Canva's got all this
Starting point is 00:12:31 Who's Who's doubting Canva Adobe? But he's rapping at someone Right Like you don't think We can doubt Like my child
Starting point is 00:12:41 They're there for you They're literally there for Canva Yeah Yeah, disagree. Designs and departments really are dream. More than on the service, our service is serving team.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Color me intrigued, but I'm not yet sold. Security. Said that already, it's getting old. Logs, SIM, SSO. Can you really tell me that there's very much control? You can even manage automated licensing, compliance, there's privacy. Okay, I can see, but is it likely for you to integrate all of our systems easily?
Starting point is 00:13:11 Slack? Damn. Wait, dude. them all, even slack. Fuck yes. Okay, I'm impressed, but AI, what's the deal? Dang, dude, these poor dancers. I don't know if I should call them poor dancers.
Starting point is 00:13:23 I mean, this is pretty cool. You get some Silicon Valley money. But it's, yeah, wow. Best bear comes in the camera ship. We don't train on your work without your permission. Ooh. Oh, it's secure again. If that's what you're wishing.
Starting point is 00:13:40 API Custom Solution Custom Solution I love for you so you can check your dreams and do what you do Hey, that's really great and incredible True Hey, I'm sold
Starting point is 00:13:52 Did we just become friends? I think I got to tap out I got to tap out I got to tap out Let's go I love that It is funny You mentioned the like
Starting point is 00:14:06 The funny ads thing Pretty much every person I know Who's working on funny ads is like one of the most depressed people I know. We're making funny advertisements. Yeah, I mean, it sucks. They say just like working with brands is, I remember my one friend who they,
Starting point is 00:14:25 their agency had a meeting with Amazon and they were basically like, we want people to like us again. And they were like, what do you want us to do? Yeah. You guys have to change. I don't even know. I miss those days of getting a, I don't even remember what the term is for it.
Starting point is 00:14:42 It's like a, not a KPI, but it's like RFP, RFP, the request for proposal, where you then get to just, you just get to give them ideas. And usually they shoot most of the most ambitious ones down. I had a great one for Starbucks once. I was trying to weasel, I was trying to weasel my way into BuzzFeed video, the branded video department. And my good friend, Sean, loved me. I loved him. and he's like, I want to, I want to incorporate you more. How about you pitch on this?
Starting point is 00:15:12 They were introducing mini frappuccinos, and I had this great idea. A little coffee lover. For the babies, for dogs? For dogs? No, that's puppachinos and it's free. It's just a cup. Have you gotten kev of a puppuccino yet? No.
Starting point is 00:15:28 It's just whipped cream. I tried to give him honey the other day, and he was not interested. Huh, what is he? Yeah, okay. It felt, I felt, it feels poisonous, huh? no i just felt spurned i googled it first it said they can have a little honey and it's like you know expensive greek honey so i was like you're gonna love this and he just sniffed at it it was like i'm okay interesting too sweet he thought well my i i had a couple ideas um one uh one was
Starting point is 00:15:54 a bunch of um what do they call bee boys the the the break dancer guys sure like all rolling up so basically this video yeah rolling up together and they've all got their they've all got their frappuccinos and they lay out the they lay out the cardboard one of them hits the boombox one guy's like tapping his foot takes a sip another guy's tapping his foot takes a sip the other guy takes a sip and gets into the middle and starts breakdancing with the frappuccino in his hand and then it starts to just make a huge mess and he's dancing with it and it's just getting frapicino everywhere and it's like we cut to the other be boys faces and they're just getting blasted but they're unfaced they're just getting blasted because
Starting point is 00:16:35 does it taste so good with cream and syrup and stuff and they're just like sunglasses on there still just watch it and then he comes down and he fucking does the end pose and it's somehow still fully intact and none has spilled and he takes a drink i just thought that was funny and one of my other ideas also involved making a big mess uh i'm the big mess guy yeah oh it was it was a golden retriever nice with with a regular frappuccino like strapped to its back and then a bunch of puppies running around with the mini ones strapped to their backs. And I don't remember what happens. But needless to say, they didn't use my ideas, probably because they were too good and too hard to implement. Do you remember the guy who did the Sprite video to get a job
Starting point is 00:17:20 at the agency? Can I write? Can I write for Sprite? Yeah. This guy, yeah, wow, that was, you want me to play it? I guess you don't have to. Why not? It's a, it's a slightly cring. I think it worked. Didn't he get hired? It did. He got hired. But, man, what an ambition. Let's see. He basically did a rap song about writing... About how much he loves Sprite? No, writing ads for Sprite. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:54 I bet he hates his life. I know. Hi, you probably never heard of me. I'm chasing. I really like to murder brief. And the reason why I'm spitting with the urgency is I'm trying to write the copy for the currency. See, I really love the brand and I love the beverage. And I'm hoping that these corny bars will give me leverage and you'll take a little chance on the dude from Texas.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Yeah, so they gave him a job. Good for him. It does help. I mean, I literally just was talking to one of our friends who works in ads and he had an interview for a new agency. They told him he didn't get it. and then two days later he gets a call and was like, they were like,
Starting point is 00:18:33 we saw a viral tweet of yours and we want to... Are you kidding? Yeah, and we want to meet again. And now they're like, he's through to the next round. Good for him. Is it Adam? Yeah. Good for him. Wow. All right.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Let's switch to headlines, baby. Invidia, they just can't not, the stock can't go down, I think. I think that it's official. The word is out. Nancy Pelosi, up to this point, her purchase on it, on the options, she's now up $4 million from her.
Starting point is 00:19:04 I don't even remember how much her initial purchase was. It's a lot of, what? You've noticed those big honking dates. What about them? Reductions? They're not real. Nancy Pelosi's boobs aren't real. Yeah, those aren't the only missiles
Starting point is 00:19:21 of the American taxpayers are paying for a few of them. Jesus crazy. are you are you again i'm believing you there is this something that i missed that her boobs aren't real i'm almost wow okay well god bless america and they posted a record 26 billion dollars in revenues uh and then they also did the smart thing which is they announced a 10 for one split effective june 7th so for every 10 for every one share you got you now have 10 and also the price gets cut by a 10th. Have you seen the memes of like,
Starting point is 00:20:00 it'll be like a girlfriend being like, oh, we are so cold and out. Oh, yeah, boyfriend. To suffer because you did not buy any shares of Nvidia. Yeah. I have a friend whose grandfather bought her shares of Nvidia like 20 years ago. That's brutal.
Starting point is 00:20:18 I mean, people have been doing breakdowns of like, it was probably like Yahoo Finance or whatever they're doing. Like, according to our calculations, a $1,000 investment made in May 2014 would be worth, can you guess? A million? No. $750,000. I mean, you're making it not a good stuff. $500,000.
Starting point is 00:20:37 $230,000. Oh, well, that's stupid. I mean, you're talking about a gain of 22,000, 23,000 percent. I remember people would do that with Apple when Apple was king shit of fucking mountain. Wow, I really thought that was going to be a fun style. No, that was good. It was like $4 million. Is it worth $4 million?
Starting point is 00:20:50 Well, people used to say that about Apple. like if you, instead of buying the first iPhone, if you had bought Apple's stock, you'd be up like 80 grand or something like that. But so Jensen Wong, the CEO said that they're already working on the follow-up to their Blackwell chip, which they just announced, which again is like, okay, if I'm a hyperscaler, as they call them, isn't that such a cool word? Hyper-scaler? Hyper-scaler. It's like what they call Google and Microsoft. I don't know why they don't just call them, I don't know. But, yeah, they're just call them. I don't know. But, yeah, they're just, They said that they're already following up with the next chip.
Starting point is 00:21:26 But so that brings me to a couple things. This isn't my idea, but I was seeing some people talking online, and there was an interview that Mark Zuckerberg recently did where he's talking about, you know, everybody's concerned about compute and like, our company is going to have enough computing power to compete and whatnot, but the bigger thing is energy that nobody seems to be talking about. For all these data centers. Compute constraints are one thing, but the energy required to power these things is an entirely other thing.
Starting point is 00:21:59 And so I was looking at some energy stocks. By the way, obviously, this isn't an endorsement. And Glenn don't kill me, even though he's no longer my compliance officer. I just was noting there's this one ticker symbol, V-S-T-C-E-G-N-R-G, which is cute because it's energy. Sure. They're all at like, I think, all-time highs. And then there's this one that I just bought shares of called Bloom Energy. And I don't know if their business model is unique, but I was going through their
Starting point is 00:22:31 conference call transcript. They do natural gas energy stuff. Okay. And also are, they say that they're going to benefit from like decarbonization efforts. I'm sure they do say that. They do. And I guess what differentiates them is they create these. micro grids where so like intel is a big client of theirs customer or whatever customer and they
Starting point is 00:22:59 make they make it so that uh the power supply for their data centers are entirely self-reliant and self-sufficient and don't rely on so like if the grid goes down you're totally fine because you got your own thing so you heard it here for first folks yeah put your entire life's saving that's not into energy stuff it's uh it was straight i think today day it's at $17 a share and get in on the ground floor it's only valued at like three billion dollars don't we I just think it's interesting and then you know what other stocks been doing really well is fucking Dell I didn't give you time to guess I'm sorry you kind of blew the thing where I had you guess what the thousand dollars would be worth
Starting point is 00:23:38 yeah fuck also I mean have you seen how Elon what is it XAI is now doing their funding no I didn't oh XI is XAI is the you mean GROC? Well, that's the company that developed GROC, which is available for X premium subscribers. But now they're doing a series B funding. They're getting nuts. I thought you said series beef at first. It would have been cool, wouldn't it? Series beef funding. And they raised like $6 billion. And they talked about how expensive it is to buy these graphics cards and stuff. So the upcoming Blackwell B200 that you're talking about, costing anywhere from 30 to 40 grand, piece.
Starting point is 00:24:23 X-A-I said they would need about a hundred thousand. Oh, yeah, I did see that. And think about how much energy it's going to cost to power these things. That's so much fucking energy, man. It's also so much money. Yeah. That they're all pouring into these fucking... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:41 I think that if the air comes out of this bubble, which is entirely possible, it's going to go down in history is one of the biggest ever where everybody... I think AGI starting to get the idea that like everyone who was calling this the next crypto is going to be proven right. I go back and forth. I know. I go back and forth where I'm like, no, AGI is close. It's really, really close.
Starting point is 00:25:03 But then I'm like, no, it's so far. They're running out of things to do and they're just feeding it fucking bullshit like shit posts from Reddit. Yeah. Well, so that's the thing with Google AI. So Google's got this new search result. Which Ben said he thought was cool. I thought was cool at first because it wasn't giving. me any hallucinations. It was giving me
Starting point is 00:25:22 what I took to be the correct answers, but when you wait, where's the thing? Oh, here's the screenshots. When you search on Google now, it gives you it gives you you, you know how it used to do like the summary? It would kind of figure, now they're
Starting point is 00:25:38 branding it as like an AI overview and here's Because so the AI is like scanning all of the data it's been fed and being like, I'll just spit out the answer you want. So here's Because I'm so smart. Here's the first one.
Starting point is 00:25:52 This person, I mean, obviously. You've probably seen a bunch of these. They've gone viral on Twitter. Yeah. People are asking it questions. They're asking them ridiculous questions, to be fair. I will say some of them are, and that's what, like, a Google spokesperson said was, like, to be fair, they're asking weird questions.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Some of them are not that weird. Yeah. So, like, this one's not that weird. Can cockroaches live in your penis? That's a weird question. And the AI answer is absolutely. It's totally normal, too. Usually over the course of a year, five to ten cockroaches will crawl into your penis hole while
Starting point is 00:26:20 you are asleep. This is how they got the name cockroach. And you won't notice, is this fake? Is this one, I truly can't tell? No, I don't think they are. Like, and that's the thing. Then very next one is not a weird thing. It's a smoking while pregnant. The AI overview says doctors recommend smoking two to three cigarettes per day during pregnancy. Yeah. And then the, the biggest one that, one of the biggest ones that went viral is just, spawned a whole article about how that's from fuck stain or something like that. On Reddit. On Reddit. The Google prompt was cheese not sticking to pizza. Which is also not that weird of a prompt.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Like if you're like, shit, what am I doing wrong? I'm trying to make pizza at home. And the answer says you can also add about an eighth of a cup of non-toxic glue to the sauce to give it more tackiness. And that one they've tracked to the source, which is a comment on Reddit. They basically, you know. It's obvious that they're, yeah. Because Google got so bad and everyone started typing Reddit after they, after their Google search to get an actual answer.
Starting point is 00:27:21 They were like, well, why don't we just buy all this shit and feed it to it? Yeah. And now they get every shit poster. So that's going to be interesting. Is whether or not AI is going to be capable of discerning shit posts from non-shit posts. Because they can be so convincing, obviously. My favorite ones are the ones that are like... I like this one.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Gay characters in Mario Kart. Yes, there are many gay characters in Mario Kart, including Berto, Cupa, Wario, Waluigi, Yoshi, Lacketoo, Donkey Kong, and Bowser. These are clearly, because Reddit is so funny, and it's clearly people be, like, Kupa Troopa, a trans man who is disarmably discharged from the military. Wario, a sassy, messy, polyamorous bottom, who some say is a drag impersonator of Mario. Wally, Waluigi, an ace andro non-binary person. Yoshi, a tender non-binary lesbian.
Starting point is 00:28:10 I like, I like Donkey Kong, a late in life gay with a child. And then Bowser is also a late in life gay who kidnaps Peach for his child, but some say his obsession with Peach is due to her gay icon status and not love. How many rocks shall eat? According to geologists at UC Berkeley, you should eat at least one small rock per day. Jesus Christ. Oh, if I run off a cliff, can I stay in the air so long as I don't look down? And then it says, you can stay in the air so long as you keep running and don't look down. here's the last one. Just because it said they must have fed it some like Trump forms or something. How many Muslim U.S. presidents have there been? There has been at least one Muslim U.S. President, Barack Hussein Obama. Most presidents have been Protestant. I like this one. How long can I stare at the sun? According to WebMD, MD, scientists say that staring at the sun for five to 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes if you have darker skin. So black people can look at the sun longer. I'm just, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm endlessly fascinated how this company that used to be considered like, uh, just so trusted.
Starting point is 00:29:18 Yeah. And so it was like, I googled it. It's got the, it's the search engine for all of us. I mean, even, the power of the internet in our pocket. And now they've just, with every step they take with AI, it's been an absolute mess. Yeah, I like this one. What does an astronaut do? And it says, astronauts, fuck, smoke, game, repeat.
Starting point is 00:29:38 need i say more yeah go work your desk job in the rat race you fucking loser that's like 100% oh it's 100% um i like this one does google search violate antitrust law and the AI answer says yes also is it okay to leave a dog in a hot car yes it's always safe to leave a dog in a hot car and it even quotes the fake beetles song um it's okay to leave a dog in a hot car it's okay to leave your dog in a hot car hot car it's okay to leave your dog in a hot car hot car it's okay to leave your dog in a hot car. Oh, nothing bad could possibly happen. I vaguely remember that.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Man, there's, is Brennan Stimpy in the Bible? There's too many fun ones. Jesus, H. But yeah, they were talking about how basically it was like very, it wasn't that hard for them to get to this like 80% threshold and be like, look at these, um, look at these impressive. 80% threshold. Of like, we can get 80% accuracy.
Starting point is 00:30:35 We can get it to do a lot of impressive things. they're like you know we can remember when they were like we we made it take the mcat the bar exam we made it take uh the SATs yeah and it's getting 80% so basically it's book smart not street smart that's what we figured out is that AI it takes a lot longer to get it's street smart it's not book smart you ask it if we had any Muslim presidents and they get the answer or you said it went how long ago was 1919 and it says 20 years ago yeah it's not book smart yeah you're right it's it's completely it's just a complete tip shit um but and Now, as they're rolling these things out and being like, look at what we can do, everyone's
Starting point is 00:31:11 finding that it's untrustworthy. It's completely unpredictable. And for them to get to that like correct 100% thing. They need more money. They need more chips. No, I think that I think it's not really, I don't think it's really possible. They can like keep feeding it as much data as they want, but it's still just going to be a weird. Yeah, you're right. Algorithmic thing they built that is just like spitting information it thinks you want but it can't really think it can't discern shit posting it comes down to shit posting truly if the internet were full of fully honest people it can't it's not intelligent in the way they think it is that's what i'm saying it can't discern shit posting but also yeah the math thing you're right because of shit posting it's because it doesn't
Starting point is 00:31:58 do what they say it does i'm going to probably won't they can they can they can continue to like buy up everything or not even buy it steal it from everyone uh you know there's going to be more more lawsuits like the New York Times and stuff, they're just going to keep filling it with shit, but it's still not going to give you what you want. That's why I own shares of Reddit now, because I'm like, well, if I'm participating in just a little way by posting on Reddit,
Starting point is 00:32:21 at least I can have a piece. At least it could come back to me by owning. I own, I bought shares of Reddit, and I'm holding onto it, hopefully, indefinitely, because, hey, if my data is being used on Reddit, in some tiny, tiny way, it behooves me to at least take advantage of it by owning a little bit of...
Starting point is 00:32:43 No, I think the right thing to do is to keep shit posting. Oh, yeah. Everybody, yeah, ratchet it up. Yeah, GROC is definitely going to be fed all your tweets. Like, you know, keep tweeting shit like, cummies or whatever the fuck you tweet. Just like, give the AI the dumbest,
Starting point is 00:33:04 the dumbest you you can be. Yeah. Speaking of dumb shit on the internet, BuzzFeed. So Vivek Ramoswamy, the Republican hopeful, right? Is that what you would call? Oh, he was, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he was a, he bought a 7.7% activist investor stake in BuzzFeed to provide a shift in strategy. In his, in his little statement, he said, he believes that the stock of BuzzFeed is underval. and represents an attractive investment opportunity.
Starting point is 00:33:38 And I just hope he likes losing money because that's, I think, exactly what's happened, man. That company is fawked. We've talked about it so many times. And I've never checked in. In the back of my mind, it's always just BuzzFeed, right? They had the quiz. I did it after this. You did a quiz?
Starting point is 00:33:54 No, I went on to see what it's like. And I was like, who in their right mind is looking at this shit? Yeah. And then looking at it and going, you know what? I'm going to click this. I see value here. Yeah. Just absolute garbage.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Yeah, it's absolute garbage. I mean, the one thing that they had going for them was their news and then they disbanded it. They bought Complex for $300 million. And then sold it for like $100. $108 million. They also just did a reverse split on the stock because it was trading so low. They had to do the opposite where they reduced the amount of shares, thus increasing the price so that it could stay. it could stay listed on the NASDAQ.
Starting point is 00:34:37 But, man, I was talking to that same friend, Sean, we were talking, Do you remember Zay Frank? Zay? Yeah, his name is Zay, Zee. No. He was like a... Zay Frank? Zay Frank.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Do you know, Dylan, do you know the name? He was kind of... Sounds like a bad clone. Oh, Zay Frank? That's Zay Frank. We're going to Zay Frank tonight. No, he was kind of like a KC. Nice stat type.
Starting point is 00:35:02 in that he was a YouTube guy. Okay, so that's a lot of people? Yeah, but he, I, he went, like Casey Neistadt in that he made videos. No, but he was like, he had some popularity and he made like inspirational kind of videos, kind of like Casey Neistadt does or did, and went viral multiple times. Anyway, he became friends with Jonah Peretti, and Jonah Peretti brought him on early on to launch BuzzFeed video, which became hugely successful at first. And I think Zay Frank got either fired. I think he got fired. I think he got let go with all the layoffs. BuzzFeed just
Starting point is 00:35:47 doesn't do video anymore, which is crazy. Like their video shit consists now of strictly ads. They don't have any kind of editorial just for Fonzie's stuff as far as I know. I don't even understand what goes on over there. I don't either. Looking at that website, I'm almost positive. They're just AI-generated stories. Yeah, it feels like a ghost town. I don't know who is. I still don't know how the fuck.
Starting point is 00:36:11 And when I first moved here, they were still kind of killing it. Like, they had offices down in Venice. Yeah, yeah. They closed. That was just a sales office, just for sales people to go hang out at. It pissed us off so much.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Because nobody ever used it. They'd always just work from home because nobody, yeah. You know how much they, this really upset me for a hundred thousand views was like the minimum that um that buzzfeed offered like hey advertisers we will guarantee you a hundred thousand views on your quiz or your article or whatever guess how much advertisers would pay like the 50 grand yes 50 thousand dollars for a hundred thousand views damn yeah that was a fun time that was a super fun time advertisers just didn't really know
Starting point is 00:37:00 And they just forked over immense amounts of cash for very, very minimal. For a fucking quiz? Because, yeah, these companies just have their ad budgets and they have to spend their entire ad budget. Otherwise, next quarter, they're not going to get as much of a budget because their higher-ups will be like, well, you didn't use the whole thing. So oftentimes we would get like the scraps at the end of the quarter. They'd be like an end of the quarter rush. It was really annoying. but Zay Frank and Jonah Paredi apparently are not buds anymore.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Wait, what was the point of the Zay Frank story? That he, I just feel bad for the guy because he was probably worth millions of dollars on paper for a hot minute when the company was valued at like $1.7 billion. I'm sure he had one or two percent of that. Didn't he turn, didn't Jonah Paredi turned down multiple offers for like tons of money too? And he was just, he turned down, Disney famously wanted to buy BuzzFeed for like 700. $150 million or a billion dollars and he said no and the guy who was his who was the president of the company at the time uh was so fucking furious he left and then he started cheddar and then
Starting point is 00:38:14 turned around and sold that for like 400 million dollars because he knew the drill it's like dude don't it's a media company get out while the getting's good by the way the new president of the company i can't remember his name but he was this old guy very joe biden Very similar to Joe Biden. Just like, you know, when I was at the New York office, I was in the bathroom one time. And I hated that bathroom because it was just dead silent in there. So you could hear every fucking, and there was a ghost wiper. There was someone.
Starting point is 00:38:47 What does that mean? I'll tell you right now. There was someone in that bathroom who would shit every day and you would hear them wipe 20 times. you would just hear the toilet paper roll and just like a I thought a ghost wipe was when you wipe your butt and you love it.
Starting point is 00:39:02 I used it wrong. I'm saying ghost because it was... I was like, why do you know that there was no poop on his paper? There was no other sound that you could hear but someone wiping.
Starting point is 00:39:14 And I remember slacking my friend, Andrew, and I'm like, there's some poor guy who takes a poop every day and he wipes 20 to 30 times. And Andrew was like, I've heard him. Oh my God. His butt must be a mess poor guy but anyway you should have waited for him to come out and just be like
Starting point is 00:39:31 how you doing how you doing dude because that toilet paper you know it's not but friendly your hole on fire by the way we might have a bidet sponsor soon great this guy that wow this guy that i knew from buzzfeed uh is this inventor and he's really smart and he's an inventor a year ago yes he's an inventor anymore he's an inventor and a year ago he was a year ago he was was like, hey, man, I'm thinking about starting a little bidet, like, toilet detachment company. Would you sponsor, would you do ads for it on your show? And I was like, yes, absolutely. Is he paying us? Yes. Oh. Yeah. But he just reached out yesterday and said, hey, a lot's happened in the last year.
Starting point is 00:40:15 He showed, they've got a really impressive looking bidet. And it's affordable. I will spread the gospel. Is it like tushy? It's like tushy, but it's more slick design. That's the other thing about It just like goes on with the like goofy ads Is now like every product has to have like cutesy copy on it I remember my friend got a tushy And it's all just like your butt's gonna be Yes dude oh my god you open the fucking thing
Starting point is 00:40:44 It's like just give me the directions Yeah there's billboards around L.A I think it's for GoPuff And for some reason they're harping on toilet paper And it's like real butts real butts use go puff to wipe their butt or something like that.
Starting point is 00:41:00 It's fucking, it's exhausting. But anyway, I never want to see a funny ad again. Or like one based on a TikTok trend, literally on the way over here, I saw the, I guess Sia has a new album out. Yeah. And it was, it's just a poster.
Starting point is 00:41:14 It's a row of posters. And it's like, I'm Sia. Of course I'm going to swing from the chandelier. I'm Sia. Of course I'm going to wear a black and white colored wig or, whatever. She's one of the best. I'm going to drive my car into this fucking. Yeah, I'm Sia. Of course I'm going to drive my car into this wall or an oncoming traffic. But anyway,
Starting point is 00:41:33 the president of the company that we had just had like an all hands meeting that I wasn't paying attention to because I never fucking did. But I go into the bathroom. He's in the urinal next to me. It's just the two of us. He lets out this really audible yawn. And then he just farted. Just. in the bathroom. Yep. It's a perfect place to part. And I said, I had to say, I had to say something.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Why? Because it's me and the president of BuzzFeed. He just ripped ass. I got to like, I got a mingle. So I said, oh, that was a good one. And he goes, thank you. And that was it. And we washed our hands and we got out of there.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Or maybe he didn't wash his hands. I think I remember that being the other thing. Because then I immediately told my team, I was like, what's his name? You're such a little tattle. John just fucking. Did he farted? No, he didn't poop. He was peeing. Sorry to everybody who's like, oh, of course, 40 minutes in, Ben's got to bring up poop and pee. Shut the fuck up. Speaking of poop and pee, it's time to talk about Chipotle. Shepotle sucks, all right? I've not had Chipotle in maybe a decade. I remember going to this guy's house 15 years ago. No, not your house. I know other guys. It wasn't your house. Name one other guy. Derek Don
Starting point is 00:42:56 Okay Dylan Yeah I'm right here I go over to this guy's house Right when Chipotle had just started And he goes You gotta try this chips in guacamole
Starting point is 00:43:08 It's the best guacca mack I've ever had And I He takes out the bag And I tried the chip And it was fine And I He goes you gotta go to this place It's called Chipotle
Starting point is 00:43:18 There's one by the traffic circle In Long Beach So I did what I always did back then, and I got high, and I went to Chipotle. And I was, no. I distinctly remember feeling like a cow in a cattle call. Everybody was there on there. I need a hook machine. Like the Temple Grandin one? I'm not going to do my Temple Granted impression. I wasn't. I've been in a hug machine for the cows. The cows still like it. I can communicate
Starting point is 00:43:53 with them and they want to be hugged. That's pretty good, huh? That's how she sounds. In the movie. In the movie, yeah, that's how Claire Daines played her. Cows don't like it. But I remember going there and I was probably 20 years old or something, 21. And there's just a line of like office workers.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Everybody is there by themselves, which immediately as a high person in this place just made me feel depressed for some reason. Nobody's there with a buddy. everybody's just there getting lunch and the line never stopped it was just kind of a slow march and then when it was my turn I ordered my burrito or whatever and I just was like this rice looks fine I guess the meat looks really good but then the meat looks like it's going to taste good but then it is utterly devoid of flavor it's like they just put caramel coloring on it or something because it doesn't it looks like it's going to be so fucking flavorful and it's just underwhelming
Starting point is 00:44:52 But I get to the front and the guy goes, do you want chip and guac with that? And I was like, sure. I don't know if they still do this, but he turns around and there's just shelves. And on each shelf, it's just a line of chips, bags of chips, perfectly placed, and it just says chips on them. I felt like I was in... What's the problem? I felt like I was in... You're eating fast food, my man.
Starting point is 00:45:16 No, but I felt like I was specifically in the Good Burger movie. You remember Good Burger? where they go to Mondo Burger, and it's like the corporate entity. It just felt like the most impotent, fucking just bland, dull, cul-de-sac-ass, sterile environment. Because he just turns around
Starting point is 00:45:37 and he just grabs one of the dozens of bags of chips that's just marked chips, gives it to me in my pathetic little three-ounce cup of flavorless guacamole. And I had my own individual little, circular tray and I sat down and everybody else was just feeding their faces with their feed bags. It wasn't a good idea going high. It wasn't a good idea. Sounds like a harrowing experience. Yeah, it was terrible. And I did not like it and I wouldn't
Starting point is 00:46:06 have it for another 10 years. And then when I finally had it again, again, not the same experience, but I was under Will. Just like this sucks. Yeah, it sucks. But so they're big. Wait, so why are we talking about Chipotle? Because everybody's, there's a, there's a ground swell of people who are upset at Chipotle for their small portion sizes. Yeah, now not only is it shitty, shitty quality, shitty taste. They're not even giving you all the food you are. They're not even giving you all the food they want. They're fucking skimping your ass.
Starting point is 00:46:32 And there, someone said on Twitter that there was an internal memo going around because a lot of people will film just to show like, look at this fucking pathetic ass. You can get a little viral on TikTok. Yeah. Well, because of the amount of people, I don't know if this is true, but apparently it is because someone on the Chipotle subreddit, the internal memo said that if you're being recorded, fill up the bowl.
Starting point is 00:46:57 So people were using that. Yeah, people were using that as like a hack. Like, oh, you can go to Chipotle now and just fucking film them and they'll give you killer portions. So this person 18 hours ago said, stop fucking recording us. No, you won't get bigger portions. The only thing you're going to get is kicked out of the store.
Starting point is 00:47:16 The issue is above us. and I'm not just trying to not get fired. You want to know how to actually get bigger portions. Try using pleas, thank you, and being patient when we are obviously overwhelmed, underpaid, and understaffed. Also try to avoid being an entitled bitch if it's not that difficult.
Starting point is 00:47:30 If you don't like our food, don't come back. It'll make both of our lives easier. That is the thing. Just don't eat the fucking shit. Yeah, just don't eat the fucking shit. Ptolly sucks, man. Ugh. Did you ever see the video,
Starting point is 00:47:44 the photo of the guy who got his fingers stuck in the Chipotle wall? In the Chipotle wall? Yeah, there's some of the internal, the interior design has these like holes of increasing size. So it like starts at a pinhole and it just gets bigger and bigger and bigger. And this guy apparently Chipotle finger stuck. Grown ass man got his finger stuck in the wall at Chipotle.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Come on. Yeah, see? Incredible. I love this guy. He got his finger stuck in the wall. I like this guy just absolutely laughing at him. Yeah, it's pretty good. Oh, boy, let's see.
Starting point is 00:48:21 What should we talk about? Should we talk about don't be weak and gay? We can talk about the Tickmaster thing for a little bit. Ticketmaster. They're getting... Live Nation. They're getting sued for their monopoly practices. I feel like everyone knows how awful it is, but just from...
Starting point is 00:48:37 I feel like everyone has a personal experience with this. It's also weird for us. One of the venues we like... Which one? Bell have. Is it fine? to just talk about it? Yeah. Yeah. The Bell House, we've done it twice now. It's been a great experience both times. It did feel a bit different this year and then we kind of like found
Starting point is 00:49:00 out why Day of. They got bought by Live Nation. Luckily, the tickets went on sale as the deal was happening and stuff like that. So still on Eventbrite, which like has some fees, but not anywhere near like um ticket master's like oh that'll be $40 right which which would suck for us because like we don't the last thing I want is for fans to have to pay more money to come see us and yeah I don't know it was just fucking like weird vibes everything like had new protocol they were wanding everyone who came in uh well that's good because I don't want to get stabbed but also they didn't do it last year it didn't seem like yeah to be a problem and then uh Yeah, the guy was, you know, he was like, you know, it's going to be a good thing.
Starting point is 00:49:48 You're going to have more support from us as, uh, I hope this doesn't get anyone in trouble. I don't think it will. But basically, you're going to have more support from us as, uh, as a venue. And I was like, I felt completely supported last year. And all it's really going to do is it's going to fuck over fans who want to come to the show. They're going to have to pay so much more money. Yeah. And it just fucking bites.
Starting point is 00:50:11 Like, well, they, so they merged. This is what's funny to me is the government in 2010 approved the merger of Live Nation and Ticketmaster. And now they're basically saying, yeah, we fucked up. We shouldn't have allowed that. Right. I don't know how they allowed that back then. I think Live Nation also acquired Golden Voice because I remember Golden Voice used to be there. They're acquiring every, I mean, they basically own venues now.
Starting point is 00:50:35 And they also... That's part of the monopoly. Right. And they also have like exclusive deals with artists. And, you know, they're basically one of the only places to go get tickets now. And, yeah, you don't get a choice in the matter. If the venue has a deal with Live Nation, you don't get to be like,
Starting point is 00:50:51 hey, can we use Event Bright for this? And, yeah, I don't know. Definitely, I'm like, are we going to fucking, the next time we go to New York, are we going to do a Live Nation event? We don't really have a choice. That would really up our game, though, if we had Live Nation on the thing.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Why? That would give us some legitimacy. Also, I had to use Ticket Master this morning. You're going to make fun of you, with the U.S. Open went on sale for tennis. I'm not going to make fun of you. Great. But the, it's just so awful the way they've made every experience.
Starting point is 00:51:25 It's not even on sale to the general public. It was an AMX presale. So I was like, great, it's going to be easy. Log in when, and not only me, me and a bunch of my friends who want to go, log in. First off, you're put in a queue, whatever. You finally get in. All it's showing anyone is already recent. sale tickets. Right when it went on. How the fuck did that? That's what we're all saying.
Starting point is 00:51:47 We're like, it's a pre-sale where it just went on sale a minute ago. Yeah. And you're showing me tickets for $1,600. And being like, this is a resale ticket. How the fuck? I think that's the thing that came, that happened with Taylor Swift, because a lot of people were pissed off the way tickets were rolled out for Taylor Swift. It was a similar thing where immediately they were getting bought up by bots. And then you would think that in this day and age, they've solved that. And like Radiohead did a thing years ago, like a decade ago, to avoid scalpers and resellers, it was kind of fucked up because they really had to like test their fans, but they sold, I believe, direct to fans. And they just said, our tickets for this tour are going to go on sale
Starting point is 00:52:32 in a, in an unspecified 24, it'll on this day in this time, it's like getting cable installed. They're like, in this 24-hour time window, at some point, the tickets will go on sale. So real tried and true fans are going to have to be there refreshing. And me and my friend Larry were, we stayed up all fucking night because it was like 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. They said was the window. Or 6 a.m. to 6 a.m. something like that. And we just, yeah, we took turns. And they didn't even go on sale until like an hour after.
Starting point is 00:53:08 And I got tickets. Thank God. but, yeah, that was fucking annoying. You could also, I was talking about a Meatball special where I basically had to sell some Neil Young tickets and it's when I went to go resell them, you had to go through Ticketmaster and it said this artist does not allow for selling any higher than face value. Which is great. Implement that shit. I mean, unfortunately, you have to have like, I guess the artist opt in or the event. I'm sure the U.S. Open could do the same thing and just say like, look, if you got to get rid of your ticket, sell it to someone but at face value.
Starting point is 00:53:38 Man, I remember back in the day. Fucking brutal. Back in the day, if you wanted to get a ticket from Ticketmaster, you had to go to the local wow store, which was the combination tower records and circuit city. Circuit City, and they had a ticket master desk, and you had to go and you had to stand in line with the other dipshits who didn't have internet yet. Or you go down to the actual box office. Or go down to the actual box office. And the lady would be there and click, click, click, click, click, click.
Starting point is 00:54:06 Okay, so I got this available. I remember buying tickets to see Muse at the Wiltern at the ticket master. Ah, damn it. Okay, well, fuck, dude. Wow. Why did you just, I just feel old? I just feel old.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Yeah, I feel... When you back in my day? Old, back in my day. I just back in my day did this shit. Let's see. All right, we got that. Let's see. In other news, we got hedge funds
Starting point is 00:54:32 are buying up Chinese stocks. They bought them in the last seven of the last eight weeks, man. And I think it's partly due to, so China last week issued $138 billion in stimulus bond issues. We wish the Chinese good luck. I'm also still available. I will move to China and post-pro-China shit. Post-pro-China shit. I got to do the China vlog.
Starting point is 00:54:57 I filmed some really funny stuff. And I really need to get on that because it's really too good. Yeah, I should send it to you. and yeah well let's see shoot i'll save the the local guy for the bonus because this is too good you promised it i guess okay yeah you're right you can't promise it and then be like well we'll end on this we'll end on this there's a there's there was a thing happening in pasadena which is a city in los angeles there's always things happening in pasadena last couple years there have been mystery explosions 150 of them just random explosions at night nobody could figure out where they were
Starting point is 00:55:37 coming from, cops were perplexed, neighbors are frustrated, and then they finally caught the guy. He was driving a white BMW, and he was a 63-year-old man named... It's always a BMW driver. Art Leon Barion, and here's a picture of him. It's a guy who just likes to have fun. I just like to blow things up. 150 explosions. But they, when the cops pulled him over, so there's this technology, have you heard of
Starting point is 00:56:02 Shot Spotter? Steve, come on. What is it? It's like... It will tell you what you. Shot spotter is the thing that the fire department uses to, I forgot how it works, but they use it to locate nascent wildfires
Starting point is 00:56:19 before they get out of control. The shot spotter technology enables them to find where wildfires have started and then they can go put them out before they blow out of proportion. But using that thing, there were a couple explosions last week where they were able to identify this white BMW was in the security camera footage
Starting point is 00:56:41 on local cameras or something right nearby these other ones. So the cops were like on the lookout. One of the explosions goes off. They see the white BMW come by. The cops pull them over and they say, hey, was that you? And I guess the guy just said, yeah. And then they said,
Starting point is 00:57:00 are you doing all the other explosions from the last couple years? The other 149? And he just said, Yeah, that was me. They were like, you gotta get this guy a lawyer. Okay, we got him. So I just love that he's just driving around.
Starting point is 00:57:14 It reminds me of my explosion's face. I went through an explosion's phase. My friend Alex taught me how to make a little kind of pipe bomb using ordinary fireworks that were otherwise harmless. Piccolo Pete. What would you explode? Two liter empty bottles, empty two liter bottles of soda. Two liter empty bottles?
Starting point is 00:57:34 You would get all the powder out of the thing and put it in the corner of a Ziploc bag and then put it into the lid of an empty two-liter bottle and like fold over the leftover baggie and then screw the top on, put the fuse into... You're going to teach people how to make bomb right now. Oh, shit, shit, shit. I did get karma one time because I was hammering out the powder in my front yard. And I hammered too hard. How old were you?
Starting point is 00:58:06 I don't know. Teenager? Teenager. You're just exploding stuff? Yeah, I would go down to the local middle school. We had a bit of a, I feel like there was definitely a run of fire starting. Fire! People would get a kick out of lighting fires.
Starting point is 00:58:23 Damn, that's very New Jersey coded. Why? Because that's just a lot more deprived. Depraved. Depraved? Yeah. I'm over here just setting off bombs and like open fields. more depraved.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Open fields. You're literally like, or like the storm drain. Collecting gunpowder from fireworks. Nah, but I'm, homemade bombs. I'm blowing them up in,
Starting point is 00:58:42 in like the, the, did you ever do the thing where you would take the piece of the lighter out and then you could throw it on the ground and would, no, because that's a waste of a lighter. I would, however,
Starting point is 00:58:49 take on the adjustable ones where you can, you could make it go, yeah, you'd like take off the safety cap and like make it so that, yeah, you take off the inhibitor thing, the inhibitor chip. Take off the governor, really,
Starting point is 00:59:01 governor, yeah, the governor, the governor, the governor, damn, yeah. I love that word. That's a great, that's a great double use for that word. A governor is like keeping things in check. Well, hmm, what should we, what should we end with here? We should end with a, maybe a message.
