Mark Zuckercorn did too much MMA and now his head hurts. His brain got busted. The big one is that they're moving away from their own fact-checking program and they're going to do community notes instead of fact-checking. I should just create an app called hate. Just lean into it. You want to get man? Go to hate.

Log on to hate. Download hate. That's basically what we're all doing. You got the racism tab, the sexism tab, the gore tab, the politics tab. They're also moving the trust, safety, and content. moderation teams from California to Texas. It felt like it came out of left field. I was watching the whole thing.

You're doing the Joe Rogan playbook. Did you hear Mark Zuckerberg's also opening a comedy venue? Yeah, what's it going to come? Chuckles. I'm looking out of time with baby on me. Tell me what's going on. Tell me what's going on. So listen to you're not to bed in me.

Tell me what's going on Tell me what's going on Welcome back You're who from Beauty and the Beast? The one who's a clock? A crab? Oh. A lobster.

Is he a crab or a lobster? I think you'd think of a Little Mermaid, my guy. Wait, what did you say, Beauty and the Beast? Yeah. Oh. Crazy start. I only know the guy is named Lemieux, but he's the candle holder,

but there's also a clock, I think. Huh. Well, hmm. I don't watch. kids movies. I watch thought pieces like Chappie. Chappie. Chappie's a great film. Oh man. Really

great film. Only sophisticated kids like myself understand The depth. The depth of Chappie. He's a tragic character. He's beautiful. We're coming to you live. From windy Los Angeles. We're surrounded by fires on all sides. L-A-X

it's awesome. L-A-X, it's awesome. They rerouted the planes, folks. They're flying they are landing from the ocean side and they are taking off over the 405 freeway it's a spectacle what a thrill I feel bad for all those slubs on the 405 who have no idea about this and they're probably panicking seeing the planes take off going

guarantee most people wouldn't even notice I would never notice if the planes were going the other way but if this may be the last you see of us because we are you're such an outsider you're such a foreigner it's no it's nothing the worst case scenario is well i shouldn't talk i'm sorry i shouldn't say that you are at severely more risk of fire oh yeah there's already one close to my house right now yeah okay so they cut the power to my house a little bit they did yeah well god god i really i really hope

they don't you know who's gonna feel bad if i die in a fire ben i'm not gonna die in a fire i already did this already came out on thursday just get a garden hose and spray the roof i'm already dead uh folks if you're in boston tickets for boston are almost gone so you might want to hurry your butt up your happy boston a couple people did ask and that's on our that's on us because we it is confusing boston is not a d and d show it's a classic it's been in a meal live classic style yeah classic style normal style humiliation major humiliation yeah it's a humiliation ritual for both of us that we have to go through to get into this club. We're trying to get into this cool club. New York is a D&D show, which we're very happy. That one sold out. Thanks to all the

little freakers over there. And also for the people who keep complaining, go somewhere else besides these coasts. We're planning on it. It's just hard to do it all. Do you realize that it's hard? Like, we got a- We do this show every week. You got the live show every week. We got the other dates are coming. They're all coming. Yeah. Well, maybe they're not. I mean, some of you who are like, come to Robith Beach. We're not coming there. I can guarantee... Coming out at a bar with me. I would love to, pal.

One of these days. But we're probably not doing a show and Rob with Beach, but... If it's a big city, there's a chance we'll be there. Anyway, Spotify, hey, hey, hey out there, so you so... Hey, all you groovy cats are listening on Spotify. You can now sign up for bonus episodes right there on Spotify. Figure it out. Okay, let's get right into it.

Boy, oh boy, do we have an episode for you today. folks. Meta has gone MAGA, right? They've gone MAGA. They kissed the ring. We're going to be talking about that. All these new things happening with Meta. And then we got some sick old politicians. And then, yeah. But first and foremost, right off the bat, we've got horn is blocked. Really sad. And so this next segment's for all you in Florida, who are just dying to get one out. The new law, let's see, there's. age verification laws that have that have taken hold

and basically porn hub is saying you know we can't meet these requirements so we're just going to back out which is what I is it just porn hub or I'm sure it's all porn websites which would be really hard because there's millions of them I don't know I don't know if every porn website

is shutting down I can't imagine that's true it's blocked in 16 states porn hub is Alabama Arkansas Florida Idaho Indiana Kansas Kentucky Mississippi Montana Nebraska Nebraska in North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Virginia. I think that this is a good thing. Also, I retract my statement.

We're not going to any of those states for live shows. I think that this is a good thing. I think porn is one of the most destructive things. And I just, if you're out there thinking, oh, he's regurgitating some right-wing talking point. You're the problem, all right? Not that you like porn. That's fine.

But we should be able to say things with some modic that holds some truth. without it being filed under political. I'll say this. I think porn is destructive. I think that I don't think porn is a good thing, but right now it's the only thing standing between us and more shooters. I think as soon as you remove that release valve, we're so toast. I think that you should have to, much like we were talking about in the gambling episode, you should have to go to a physical location. To jack off. Not to jack off, but to acquire porn. Go to the jack-off station. The station? It's not a store. It's a station.

Honey, I'll be back. I'm going to go pick up cigarettes. You don't smoke. Fuck. I got to go to the jack-off station. The jack-off station. I don't know. That was a bad bit. Yeah. In Louisiana, apparently, where users must submit ID to view Pornhub, the site has seen traffic decline around 80%. That's pretty well. But, yeah, I think that porn is, you know, it's bad for young minds, especially.

Wait, go back up to that? So these people did not stop looking for porn. They just migrated to darker corners of the internet that don't ask users to verify age. Exactly right. That don't follow the law, that don't take user safety seriously, and that often don't even moderate content. In practice, the laws have just made the Internet more dangerous for adults and children. Who!

Yeah, so... I do think... That's my hot take. I think porn mad. Should you just go back to classic Playboy. Man, you want to see a naked lady, that's fine. It's classy. Just some naked, naked boobies.

But the desk, good for you. The desktop only does really solve this. You know, you're just... Desktop only porn? No, no, no. You know, my thing of you got to... You can't take it on your phone. You can't take it on the laptop.

You want to get on the internet? You got to do it on your desktop. Oh, oh. You got to go, no, internet only at jackoff stations. Yeah, either jackoff stations or desktop only, either one... You can't be, you can't be. Porn is so pervasive, though. It's like, you ever see those guys who kind of just follow butts and boobs girls on, on Instagram?

Yeah, of course. And they pull out their Instagram to scroll in public. And it's like, my guy, are you serious? Yeah. You're disgusting. Yeah. Yeah. It's a problem.

It's pervasive. There's a lot of, there's a lot of problems out there. And porn doesn't help. So that's happening. So big sorry everybody out there who's got a jack off old style. No, good for you. Good for you. Explore your own imagination.

That's exactly right. Although, there might be a lot of guys out there with not a lot of stuff to work with. Imagination-wise? Just do what I did. When I was in high school, fill up a couple water balloons and go wild. Yeah, go Ben in high school style. Fuck a toilet. That's what we need.

Guys who start walking into a toilet and just be in. Feeling the nice caress of porcelain? Oh. Mama. Is that an American standard? No, it's a coaler. God, I should have known by the bold look. So we also

had the first bird flu death. It was some old person over the age of 65 who had comorbidities. And folks, I really appreciate it when you send... And do morbidities come with this? No. I really do appreciate it

when you send me stuff. But I got to tell you, all it does is flood my DMs. I guarantee you, if you have seen a story out there about anything, I've already seen it. I've probably already seen it. Be it about a plane crash or bird flu now or pretty much anything under the sun. If it's been, unless it's been just a few hours, like if it's a new fresh thing, by all means, send it. If it's over three or four hours old, it's okay. I probably saw it.

and if he hasn't he probably will I probably will but keep sending it to him I find it for you yeah yeah why not forget I ever said alright so a big bunch of shit happened today two days ago for you guys

depending on when you're watching this but Donald Trump got interviewed today he said that we're not going to do windmills number one because it pisses off the whales I think he said the whales don't like it the whales don't like it So he pledged that there are going to be absolutely no windmills being built.

He said that he's going to change the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. I thought that one was a joke. I saw someone just tweet text, no video, just that Trump wants to change the Gulf of Mexico to something more American. And I was like, that's very funny. That's a good joke. And then I saw that there's a video. And I said. And Marjorie Taylor Green has already put forward the legislature.

It's just like a what else? fuck is going on. And then when asked about Greenland, he said there's no guarantee we won't use the military. That one's fun. I think we should take those. For Greenland or the Panama Canal. Yeah. I'm just like, we deserve him. What's going? What the fuck's going? So now, yeah, let's play this clip of him fucking talking. The question was, Donald Trump, can you assure the world that as you tried to get control of these areas, i.e. Greenland or Panama, you are not going to use. use military or economic coercion. And this was Donald Trump's response.

Ask the Canadians to hold the vote. What is the strategy? I can't assure you, you're talking about Panama and Greenland. No, I can't assure you on either of those two. But I can say this, we need them for economic security. The Panama Canal was built for our military. I'm not going to commit to that now. It might be it.

It's just repeating now. You'll have to do something. Look, the Panama Canal So, a man, a plan, a Panama. What's the thing? A man, a plan, a canal? It's a palindrome. Yeah, I don't know.

Race car. Have you seen real fast? Have you seen those videos of those, like, there's some game show, like, in Germany or something, where little school children are given two, like, sets of patterns. And they've got like 10 seconds to recognize the differences between them. And they're just like, oh, yeah, that one has a purple triangle and that one's not. Or whatever it is.

It's crazy. Hey, gang. We want to take a quick break to thank a sponsor of this show. It's Chubbies. Chubbies? Folks, listen, you've seen me wear a chubby shirt on this show before. I'm not kidding when I tell you that they're very stylish and they're very, very comfortable. incredibly breathable.

We both wear the shorts all the time. You might have seen me all around town all summer wearing my chubby shorts. I could not take them off. And it was becoming a problem. My family had an intervention with me. And they said enough with the chubby shorts. And I said, I'm divorcing you, my entire family. I'd rather have my chubby shorts.

I was actually pretty, so this is funny. Emil, I saw wearing these great looking shorts. And I said, are those the chubby shorts? And he said, yes. And I was upset because I hadn't been sent them because, you know, they send us a free couple items to try out. And so I wrote it sternly worded email. I said, listen up.

I need my shorts. And they said, right away, Mr. Collins, right away, right away. He commands respect. And they sent them to me. And now I look good too. Well, it doesn't look like me. No, because nobody's got. No, you're all going to look good in them.

They look great. But so Chubby's polos, you know, you got the polos. they're the perfect blend of style and comfort you've seen me wearing well mine's kind of a Hawaiian shirt but they've got all sorts of styles whether you're hitting the golf course going out for brunch or just want to look sharp without the stuffiness it's exactly what sums it up it's you can be comfy and look nice it's great i you know i had i went to europe for a month too and i was just wearing these shorts everywhere usually and they're not like athletic shorts they look like nice shorts but i could wear them anywhere without feeling like just so restricted and

And it felt great to look nice and feel good. They're made with soft, breathable fabric. They keep you cool and comfortable while still making a statement. That statement being, I have good taste because I wear chubbies. That's right. Yeah, yeah, the chubbies, they also sent us swim trunks, and that's what I've been wearing. They're really, really, really great. So why not upgrade that gear of yours before your next winner get away, huh, folks?

If you missed

it last week, folks, you want to see Ben go crazy on... Last week? I don't remember. Mosaics. Oh, yeah. That's at Benadamielshar.com, but right now, we're here to talk about... Tiles? Yeah. We're talking about... We're talking about meta-bending the knee. Yeah, but yeah, that's just the final

note on that Trump thing. I don't know how to feel about that. On the one hand, it would rock to have Greenland. it would be very strategic obviously but we've been doing just fine and now all these fucking MAGA... I just finally want passport free travel to Greenland

and it looks like we might get it. The American dream will be realized. It's just like isn't this antithetical to the whole MAGA thing of just America first let's just keep all of our business in America and do... Yeah, but if you make the whole world America...

Yeah, because Matt Walsh was like that's what great nations do. They conquer land. Great nations take land. And it's like, shut the fuck up, man. What are we doing here, folks? I'm tired of living in interesting times. All right.

So, meta, just, Mark Zuckerhorn did too much MMA, and now his head hurts. His brain is, his brain got busted. I don't even think it's that. I think it's very simple, right? These tech companies, they see the writings on the wall. They play ball. It's, you know, when Obama's in office, they're like, you know, let's, you know, let's go this way the tide's turning.

But they didn't do it during his first term. How do you explain that? Yeah. I think they thought it was an aberration and they were like, you know what? Let's try to keep this liberal dream alive. This is all going to come to an end. And also, to not get too ahead of ourselves, Zuck has announced, I wish we could watch the whole five-minute video. It's too long, yeah.

You should watch the whole thing. He announced in this five-minute video about these changes that are coming to meta. And it's very clear... They're turning the... All the boys are turning into girls. That's what they're changing. All boys now.

I'm just making a fucking terrible joke. Yeah. It's five things, right? They're going to... The big one is that they're moving away from this, their own fact-checking program, and they're taking a page out of Twitter or X's. Mm-hmm.

book, and they're going to do community notes instead of fact-checking. He said their moderation systems unfairly and accidentally censor millions of posts. Even though the majority get censored and cut whatever the right way, still he said about 1% of posts get unfairly tagged and removed. And his argument that is, even if it's just 1%, still millions of posts. Millions of people. And they're, yeah, they're replacing fact-checkers because they've said that the fact-checkers have become, they've been too politically biased.

Here, there's one clip we can play, starting from a minute 50 that kind of sums it up. That's perfect. System. Second, we're going to simplify our content policies and get rid of a bunch of restrictions on topics like immigration and gender that are just out of touch with mainstream discourse. What started as a movement to be more inclusive has increasingly been used to shut down opinions and shut out people with different ideas. and it's gone too far.

So I want to make sure that people can share their beliefs and experiences on our platforms. Third, we're changing how we enforce. Yeah, so that was the second one. They're simplifying content policies. You're going to be able to talk about whatever you want.

And it's funny the way he talks about it. He's like, that's outdated. And, you know, everyone's been talking about this culture shift, the vibe shift. Since Trump won, everything's changing. It's just, it's just, funny the way he's talking about. He's like, that's outdated now. We're not doing that anymore. You can talk about gender. You can be a little freak out there. Do whatever you

want. Yeah. And we're not going to take you down. He said they're changing how they enforce policies in order to reduce mistakes that account for censorship. There's filters that make mistakes. And they're going to change that because those filters aren't robust enough. That's the third one. That's the new approach to policy enforcement. And they're bringing back now civic content, and I have that in quotes, because that's what he said, civic content. At first, they took down politics. Yeah, basically just means politics are fair game again. Yeah. Which honestly, can we drag to, is it possible to drag to number four and find where he talks about that? It is kind of funny the way he. Oh, oh yeah, there we go. Bringing back

civic content. Yeah, just hit. Accounts that we accidentally take down. Fourth, we're bringing back civic content. For a while, the community asked to see less politics because it was making people stressed. So we stopped recommending these posts. But it feels like we're in a new era now. And we're starting to get feedback that people want to see this content again. So we're going to start phasing this back into Facebook, Instagram, and threads while working to keep the communities friendly and positive. Good luck, pal. You can pause it. I find this, that was the big selling point of threads was that, you know, it's this. Not Twitter? Well, it's not Twitter, but we're not prioritize, we're not going to prioritize politics on here. It's going to be, remember, when

it first launched it was that very weird, I don't know, it felt like a weird bizarro Twitter where brands were just kind of like, what's up, y'all? It's Ritz Crackers. And the whole thing was that. Pop tarts remembers 9-11. Yeah. The whole thing was like, you can be safe from the political discourse here. Yeah. And he's very, he keeps using this language. of like, that's all in the past. It's a new era. People want to see this stuff now. Yeah.

It's wild because... People aren't stressed about politics anymore. When I go on threads, it's full of softcore porn. It's full of women being like, nobody ever wants to ask me out. I wonder why that is. And it's like a photo row of four photos of her, like in scantily clad. Hold on I have to check threads real quick. But it's not, it's nobody that I follow.

It's just that that's what the... I think the out, since I never go on threads, I think it's the initial algorithm just going, all right, check this out. Do you like it? Do you like these? Or the algorithm's like, this is a guy who logs on just the jackoff. This guy's going to it. He's probably headed to do a jackoff station right now. I'm not threads, all right? My house is my jackoff station. Jokes on you. Okay? I'm always, that's, wait, what movie is that from where that's, oh, it's Hulk. That's my secret. Instead of I'm always angry, I'm always horny. I'm always ready to jack off. Is that, Hulk secret? Yeah, he says that's my secret, Tony. I'm always angry. He says it just like that.

I'm always angry. He's talking to Tony Stark out? He's talking to Tony Stark. Oh, Tony, I'm always angry. I'm always real mad. It'd be cooler if he was in the Sopranos. Yeah. And Tony's like, what's the matter of you? You always get so mad. I can't help it, Tony. I, so he, they're also moving the trust, safety, and content moderation teams from California to Texas. It felt like it came out of left field. I was watching the whole thing. You're doing the Joe Rogan playbook. I get it.

No, he's doing the Elon Musk playbook. And Joe Rogan. Joe Rogi moved to Austin, Texas? Yes, but... Did you hear Mark Zuckerberg's also opening a comedy venue? Yeah, what's it going to be called? Chuckles. Chuckles.

But he's clearly doing an Elon Musk about face here. with uh with everything he was you know i feel like he very much tried to get in the good graces of the establishment democrats after the whole cambridge analytica thing he was you know like oh my god god i'm so sorry we're gonna be careful about all of our moderation practices we're going to be putting all these things in place and now it's just a full turn to you know it's they've won not only the presidency, but clearly this culture shift, vibe shift. Oh, that we lost the culture war fully. And it's like, all right, lick your wounds.

Let's see what we can do with this. Yeah. He's now working. They said that they're working with the Trump administration to push back on foreign censorship. And he cites the fact that Latin American countries, some Latin American countries have secret courts that can order companies to take things down. Also, the fact that China has censored their apps from even working in China. and he said it'll take time to get this right

and these are complex systems they're never going to be perfect yeah no fucking shit dude hey gang we want to take another quick break to thank another sponsor of our show it's Mando you've heard us talking about it before

what's your problem out there huh do you stink I bet you do you stinky winky I did you need to get your act together I did but it's a new year and that means it's a new me baby yeah all right you know no more showing up places stinking and no that doesn't

mean I'm not going to be squeezing in the gym, squeezing in a tennis match before I go places? Yeah. I'm just bringing Mando with me everywhere, baby. That's exactly right. It's whole body deodorant. Safe to use anywhere on your body. Pits, balls. Yeah, I said balls.

Your thigh folds, your belly button, your butt crack, your feet. Mando was created by a doctor who saw firsthand how normal B.O. That stands for body odor. Was being misdiagnosed and mistreated. Before it was just a mental disorder. Hey, you got B.O. Maybe you need to calm down. Maybe you need to get some happiness.

Maybe you're being hysterical. Yeah, maybe you're stressed. But no, no. It is clinically proven, this Mando stuff, to block odor all day and control odor for up to 72 hours. You got two Mando deodorant product options, the solid deodorant stick and a spray deodorant. All of these products, all the ones that they got are baking soda free and paraben free. That stuff's bad, folks. And you got a variety of fresh scents like bourbon leather, clover woods.

Mount Fuji or pro sport. I like Mount Fuji. I'm hitting pro sport. Yeah, because you do be sporting. And pro at it. It's clinically proven to control odor better than a shower with soap alone. Twelve hours after a shower, the average man's ball odor level was a five out of ten. I would hate to have that job.

All right, sniff this guy's balls real fast. Give me a out of ten. How stinky is it? Also, that guy only had a five? Three. Yeah. Whoa. With Mando, the average odor level is a zing.

Zero out of ten. Those balls smell fresh. Now, that's what I like. You want to try America's number one whole body deodorant formula right now? You can find them in Walmart Target and other retailers across the country, but for the best deals,

you're going to go to shopmando.com. The Mando starter pack is perfect for new customers. It comes with a solid stick deodorant, cream tube deodorant, two free products of your choice like mini body wash and deodorant wipes. I like the wipes. And free shipping.

The discourse is irreparably broken. It's just fucking busted. Well, also completely captured by billionaires at this point,

which is very funny. And I think we're going to find out very quickly that they are not for free speech and free expression. Just like we found, I mean, we already have a use case, right? Elon Musk bought Twitter. because he thought free speech was the most, or at least he said, that he thinks free speech is the most important thing.

We need to... Oh, no, Mars, the most important thing. Yeah. Well, he said a lot of things were the most important thing. But it's very clear that if he doesn't like something, it doesn't qualify his free speech, right?

You want to do a private jet tracker that doesn't break any laws? Well, no, we're going to shut that down. I mean, just with the thing we were talking about last week, with the MAGA Civil War over H-1Bs and stuff he starts getting shade and it's like

okay well we're removing your blue check we're removing your blue check you're going to be de-platformed yeah just a massive hypocritical piece of shit yeah I'm just fucking tired I imagine if the Trump administration wants anything removed it will be

they're all just cozying up with the new administration yeah it is very sure have you seen the donations they're all making to his inauguration fund. Tim Apples donated some. What do they need an inauguration fund for?

What the fuck is that? What is it? I don't know. You're Mr. Book. Tell me. I don't know. I don't think it's actually for his inauguration. I think it's just the act of goodwill. Like, hey, we're ready to play ball. Yeah. I think, did you see, we, I mean, there's a video of, it was from today. I think it, let me see if I have it. It was from Trump. He said he thinks that Meta's doing good things.

yeah but he said i think it's because of you know i think it's all right here let's hit it i think they've come a long way meta facebook i think they've come a long way i watched it the man was very impressive i watched it actually i watched it on fox i'm not allowed to say that say it do you think he's directly responding to the threats that you have made to him in the past probably yeah probably the last time you were here you were asked a question about the u.s Which I have to say I don't necessarily, you know, obviously I don't like Trump. I find it very annoying that he's the only one who seems to understand power, the only politician. There are plenty of, there are plenty of, you know, execs I would have loved for a politician to be like, hey, these threats are very real.

We're going to fuck your shit up. Because I think that's a huge thing is he knows that. the Trump DOJ is not necessarily afraid of continuing this antitrust policy and everything his head is on the chopping block he wants to make sure they don't get broken up regulated whatever

and he's like oh I'll play ball I'll do the free speech thing I love free speech song in dance we're going to promote your cool memes God I'm just yeah I'm really I'm just really tired of it I'm really I met my wits end

I uh Guys, Ben is at his wits end. I just want a gamma ray burst, you know? Something from deep space. Nobody sees coming, just fries us all in one. It is. It's very, things are happening very quickly. It's very funny because this week started with us wanting to talk about the meta-AI profiles.

And we thought, we were like, wow, this is huge, which I do think it is huge. And it says a lot about kind of the future of the internet end. But just like that, we're like, Jesus Christ, they're. changing so many policies at meta, this feels even bigger, but I mean, should we talk about the AI profiles a little bit? You probably saw some of these AI profiles

pop up that they were launching. Also, I want to say it's it's so crazy how quickly things are changing with just even that, another part of what Elon Musk cited when he bought Twitter was the bots. You said the bots.

Oh, they're fucking... The bots are out of control. Someone's got to get this under control. He obviously did nothing. Bots are worse than ever. But now companies like meta are embracing bots. Yeah. Are saying like we need. But there's, I mean, there is a silver lining. So first of all, here's a couple of them. They're both black. The one is this woman named Live, proud black queer mama of two and truth teller. Your realist source for life's ups and downs. Let's chat. And then you've got Brian. Everybody's grandpa. These are their bios. Everybody's grandpa, retired textile businessman who is always learning, message me to talk about anything.

These are actually older profiles that have since been deleted by meta. They said that they were introduced kind of quietly. They were just tests, but they'll end up having, yeah, they'll end up, they had bios, they had profile pictures, and they were supposed to be for people to generate and share content. It was meant for, it was meant to enable real people. like us to create characters and profiles. To what end? I don't know. Because, yeah, people won't fucking abuse that.

But there was someone in some article made a really good point. You remember the celebrity bots? Like, they made one for Cardiff. What's the girl's name? Kardashian. Jim? No. Chloe.

No. Keep going. The one who's married to Timothy Chalemarer. Kylie. Kylie Jenner. They made a Kylie Jenner one. Kylie Jenner Kylie Jenner

She's gonna marry Timothy Shalame Nobody cares anymore God I missed that When Trump was just weighing in on celebrity couples Oh I know Rosie O'Donnell Robert Pattinson

You should leave her Like a dog She cheated on you once Timothy I don't know if you should stay with her Yeah I wouldn't trust her Got two children from a previous relationship But seriously you remember that

Do you remember when that was a big deal It was like oh my god They made an AI bot of Kylie Jenner Nobody gives a flying fuck But that's... It went away. I know. That's kind of what I thought

with all of it, right? And even... I feel so silly. Remember when we were talking... It feels like forever now. When we were talking about Shrimp Jesus. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Because Facebook's already been full of this stuff. AI slop. And my thought was that... I couldn't quite comprehend. I was like, why aren't they doing anything about this? They must be... They've completely ruined Facebook. They must be so pissed that they've lost control of this thing.

Yeah. And then we didn't talk about it, but I remember 404 did some article about how Zuckerberg is not only fine with it, but likes it and is talking about how, you know, AI slop is going to be a new way that people interact with feeds. It's like, what? You guys want this? Yeah, it's, it must, I don't know, maybe I'm just intellectually inferior,

because I don't get it, man. I don't understand why that's a good thing. Well, I do think it, to help inflate their numbers. Yes. I think that it could keep people on their, it could keep their attention longer, even if they're getting fake engagement. Engagement is engagement. And so if you have all these profiles of, you know, if you're someone who is like, do you have any friends who are? Yeah. They have, you know, 650 followers. Loser. They post as if they're, no, that's fine. But they post as if they're. they have a big following, right? And they go, you know, check my profile for more recipes or whatever. It's like, who are you talking to? What's your point?

What are you getting at? Those people, imagine those numbers get inflated and they think they're speaking, they're not going to be able to verify if they're 20,000 followers are real or not. And as this stuff gets better, and then you have profiles that look more. more and more like real people. Yeah. Sure. Yeah.

That's going to keep people on the platform. That's exactly right. Way longer. Right. And that's the whole thing. All these companies want is your attention. So they can sell you more ads. So that total loser who's only got a poultry 650 followers.

Having followers is embarrassing person who's posting recipes. Using Instagram is the most embarrassing thing you can do. Except when I use it. We do it in a cool way. But it's the whole thing is embarrassing. self-promotion I mean that's yeah it sucks

because it's obviously a good tool they've ruined all these tools Twitter used to be a very good tool it's harder and harder to use Instagram is going to get worse and worse to use I mean the best thing Instagram for us is is promoting things

by far like when we have a show it's it's easier to sell tickets on there Hey everybody. We want to take another quick break to thank a sponsor today show. It's Rocket, buddy. You know, it's a new year. It's time to get all your stuff in order. It's time to get organized. Get your whole life in order. You're a mess. All right. Frankly, you're a mess. Your friends were talking to us about you. And the thing they want you to start with is your financial situation. It's a mess. They said, you don't even know what you're subscribed to. You don't know what's going where. Your credit card bill is insane. We've got you covered, pal. You got the ad-free version of that streaming service and the ad version. What do you do? How did you even do that?

You're double-subed. How did they even allow that to happen? Oh, my goodness. God, you need rocket money, Babu. I used it. I didn't even know I was sub for certain things. I used it. And there's no shame in it.

Sure, I was a little embarrassed. No, they're shame. I was a little embarrassed. But you know what? It feels good, getting unsubbed from things. So you might be asking yourself right about now, what is rocket money? Well, I'll tell you, little pup. It's a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions.

It monitors your spending and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. It's got a nifty, nifty little dashboard to give you a clear view of your expenses across all of your accounts. You can create personalized budgets. You can get alerts if bills increase in price. They will even negotiate your bills lower for you if you need. they automatically scan your bills to find opportunities to save then you can ask them to negotiate for you

they'll deal with customer services you you don't have to there's over 5 million users of rocket money and those 5 million users have saved a total of 500 million dollars in cancel subscriptions save you bab is up to 740 a year when using all of the app's preview

features so cancel your unwanted subscription and reach your financial goals faster with rocket money go to rocket money dot com slash bays today b aes that's rocketmoney.com slash bays rocketmoney dot com slash bays if we can't even tell if people are real i mean it's just shouting into a well but it's like you said the the bots are going to help keep that person encouraged that total loser with a small amount of followers it's going to keep that person seriously though it's going to keep that person

encouraged to keep posting because they're going to keep getting interaction that they otherwise might not get from real people. Yeah. Just those a little bit, that one little comment from something being, some bot that you, you know, you might not realize it's a bot at first. That could be enough. DMs, comments. It's all going to feel like, wow, it's all happening.

People are liking what I'm talking about. They like that recipe. Yeah. Apparently, this last October in Meta's quarterly conference call, the CFO said that more than one million businesses. I didn't even know that there were, there were that many fucking businesses. Jesus, that's a lot of businesses, bub. They're that more than one million businesses

are creating 15 million ads per month with generative AI just on meta alone. That's wild, man. This is what I'm concerned. So that's just for the ads. That's how far gone. That's how quickly it's happening. What?

I think, okay, I think it's not just like images. They're using like the tech space. Oh, yeah, of course. I mean, generative AI includes a lot of different things. I'm sure it's copy. sure it's quick little images and videos, whereas they would otherwise have to scour a shutterstock or Getty images for royalty images or whatever for their ad. They can just do it in AI.

That makes sense. Have you seen the thing the AI they introduced for messaging and stuff? As soon as you type more than maybe three or four words, it gives you the option to... Yeah. And I accidentally click it all the time. It's really annoying. I mean, I had to see... Also, most of my deities...

on Instagram is me responding to a friend who wrote something and me going like, oh, dude, so fucking funny. And it's like, would you like to spruce this up? And I'm like, sure, go, go for it. And it's just like, hilarity is ensuing. It's like, fuck off, you fucking idiot. Just get out of my face. And just to rope it back around, sorry for using that language, porn bots. There's a lot of, Oh, that's a big one. You can have a little fake girlfriend. There are some, there are accounts. It's so fucking bananas, man.

There are accounts of completely AI-generated women. And I don't know if you've seen, but now the AI-generated humans are indistinguishable from real, if... Yeah, I saw one today. They're completely indistinguishable. You can't... There's nothing in the photo

that would give you any kind of inkling whether it be like background text or like little lines or fingers here we can probably put one up nothing yeah find one uh because I saw it on Twitter yeah is that what you're talking about but while while he's finding that

there were um there are these accounts of like uh you know to think of the the classic Instagram model um uh doing their thing they now got AI bots

or not even bots they are people creating these AI women in and they've got like only fans accounts and I saw some of these and I went to the comments because I'm expecting they've got like tens of thousands of followers

very active engagement. I don't know if the people commenting are people but you know it's like very beautiful very beautiful yes love you oh wow I love this and I'm like are these guys who just don't know any better? They truly don't know or you

Yeah, look at this. These images are all AI generated. You know it would be wild as if these were real people. I almost don't believe it. So he said first he said it was generated with Mid-Journey, but then he said apparently this is not Mid-Journey, but Flux. So let's go through these. Yeah, that is...

I am obviously not an expert on figuring out what is AI generated and not, but what people were pointing out is, I guess, so the hands are perfectly fine. A big one is also they got the Adidas logo on... I don't know if you were able to zoom in on that. I can see that, yeah, a little flower. Adibus. And then they also were putting out the reflection in the glass. Wow.

But it is pretty cool. That's my girlfriend, by the way. Right. Now you can just, well, it is a very funny. That's my girlfriend. You know when your friend's like, yeah, I know my friend. I went on a date with this girl and, you know, she's great. She's so cute.

And you're like, oh, cool. Like, let me see her Instagram. or whatever. Why not? Show me your Instagram. Now you can just pull her up. You can just make a fake little girl. Just make it up.

By the way, in the bonus episode, I'm absolutely going to share a funny date story. Is it from Saturday? Whenever it was, I don't remember. I don't remember what it was. In the last week, yeah. I freaked her out. Was it after you were with us?

Yes. We got them two riled up. We got them two riled up. So, yeah, these porn bots, man, There are people making thousands of dollars a month running only fans accounts for AI-generated women. And I don't even know if some of the people subscribing for it care anymore. I just don't even know that they care.

Because some of them, you know, it's like, whatever. She's real hot. Sure, it's a computer. But, hey, man, it's a... I mean, what does it matter to you if you're getting off? Truly. Yeah, you're going to the jack-off station no matter what. You're going to get there.

You don't need to ask questions about what is turning you on. It's not exploitative. If you're turned on, you're turned on. Yeah. You're at the Jackoff station. You already told your wife you're getting out there to buy cigarettes. I was expecting to see some comments being like, this is blatantly AI. I only saw one or two.

And they were asking, like, is this real? Is this AI? And I wanted to comment and be like, buddy, no. But then I didn't want there to be a record of me commenting on an AI porn bot. She's got six fingers. Yeah. Hot. That's cool.

Were you exposed to, like, chemicals or something? That's cool. Yeah, me too when I was growing up. It was lead paint. I feel so ill-prepared for the world we are so quickly moving into. I'm so ready, dude. I'm so ready. Are you?

Yeah. It's optimism that you got to have. Optimism. Optimism. No more school shooters because we're going to have an AI girlfriend for every school shooter. And jack-off stations on every corner. Jack-off stations on every corner. No more porn.

Just AI girlfriends for everybody. Trigger finger, kind of itchy? Jack-off. Yeah. Uh, in meanwhile, AI is, is kind of floundering with consumers, apparently 73% of... Because people don't actually want this fucking shit. That's what I'm saying. And as much as nobody cared about the, uh, someone also made a great point.

In the movie, she or her, her? Her? She. Her. No, it's her. In the movie, her, someone made an astute observation that, I mean, obviously it's fucking fiction, but it's in this futuristic world that the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, world in the future where they're super intelligent AI and nobody really cares. Just

Joaquin Phoenix walking around with a pocket girlfriend. Nobody else cares besides like this small set of people. I guess it's not. That's kind of a stupid point because dude, they don't explore the economics of these AI companions in the movie. But either way. I like when you interrogate your own thoughts and well yeah. That's how you that's how you keep yourself. But do it on your own time. Okay. You could have been derogated that thought way before you even brought it up here. Well, 70. Oh, yeah, there was this good point.

And then, oh, no. Yeah, well, you know, that's how we do it, folks. But someone did point out that that was the year 2025. Are you sure? Google She movie year. No, I know. I'm kidding. 73% of surveyed iPhone users and a whopping 87% of Samsung Galaxy users found AI features to be, quote,

not very valuable or add little to no value. So that's also something too. And then lastly with meta, they... Wow, that is... That's a lot of people. But that's what... It's fucking... I mean, and this, I just can't imagine that people...

People liked Instagram the way it was. Even when it was just photos, they were like, wow, an easy way to share photos to my friends. So cool. Obviously, I mean, there was a big pushback when they were like, stop pushing reels on us. We don't want to fucking see it. But the thing is, they don't give a shit. They're just turbocharging every addictive

instinct for attention. And now, even this, they know it's not what people want, but it tricks them into being stuck on the app longer. I should just create an app called hate. Just lean into it. You want to get mad? Go to hate. Log on to hate. Download hate. That's basically what we're all doing. You got the racism tab, the sexism tab, the gore tab, the politics tab. I'll tell you what. People always DM me and they're like, do you recommend the brick? I cannot recommend it enough. Yeah, you want to build a house? Get a fucking, get a few hundred. I'm always bricked up. Went out with all my friends on Saturday. Bricked up before I noticed, Dimeel was not on his phone. Whereas me, I was on it locked in, commenting, this is AI boobs. There was nothing for me to look at. I couldn't look at anything. And can I tell you the truth? I didn't go on a date. I went to a jackoff station.

It is funny that it's your brain, when you remove those things, things from you, you literally start to, it's horrible. You really realize what it does to you. You start to panic a little bit. Like, if we go out somewhere and it's just me and Sarah or something and she's like, okay, I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm just like, I pull my phone out to like look at something to kill time and I'm like, ooh, no. And then I'm like, well, the photos app isn't blocking. I guess I can just look through photos of fun. See, I know. I have to like put it away and be like, just experience boredom. Yeah. Experience boredom rules. Yeah. Except when it doesn't and then you got to take out your phone.

I was like, I'm fucking tired of seeing this shit. Big step. I'm tired of seeing this asshole. Die, sir. Die. Fucking die already. Dude, keep it on the hate app. My God.

God, yeah. Download hate today. Download hate app. We're going to implement a lot of new features. We're going to make it more addictive than cocaine, baby. Or sorry, fentanyl. Don't know about that. Anyway, they added a couple new board members in case you don't know. This is the last big meta news. They got a board of directors, right? So it kind of rounds out the executive suite. And this is more in line with him kissing the ring with Trump. Yeah. They added Dana White, the founder and CEO of of the WFC.

The W UFC. The women's UFC. The women's UFC. No, just the UFC. Just the UFC. And Dana White, they had John Elkan, who is a billionaire. He's like an heir to I forgot the name of the company. XOR. XOR. Thank you.

European investment form. Exor. And the executive chairman of Ferrari. Ferrari, yeah. He like it a Ferrari. How does that make you feel? He like it a pepperoni. I drive a car very fast. I tried to get to the jackoff station before they close. And because of my wife, no giving me no sex.

I got, I'm John Elkin. I don't know what kind of last name John Elkin. It makes me embarrassed because you experienced this, but our friend, I was on a group chat with him and another friend, and when the Luigi Manjoni stuff was going on, he texted funny memes about, like, Italian stuff. And I said, joking. I said,

I said, yeah, like, that's not funny. Like, don't say that kind of stuff. And then he sent another one, like, how about this one? And I said, that's even more racist. And he was like, oh. And I said, no, I said, I just think non-Italians should maybe sit this one out. And then it kind of just ended. But I was fully joking.

And then when I saw him with Ben, he mentioned Luigi Manjani. And he was like, oh, Emil doesn't like it when he talked about that. I was like, what? I love talking about that. And he said, oh, I thought you got really upset with me when I, he even told his wife he was like i think i upset a meal that's too funny oh yeah yeah uh and who's the third guy charlie songhurst yeah i don't know much about him he's a tech investor oh yeah that that was his old thing but yeah um and dana white had this to say he said uh i've never been

interested in joining a board of directors until i got the offer to join meta's board i am a huge believer that social media and AI are the future. Yeah, no fucking shit, dude. You're a huge believe. That's a bold thing to believe in, Dana White. Uh, I am very, no fucking shit. I am very excited to join this incredible team and to learn more about this business from the inside. There's nothing I love more than building brands. Really? There's nothing you love more than building brands. How about beating your wife? Whoa, buddy. Did he do that? Yeah, there's video footage of it. Wow. Jesus Christ. Is that on the WUFC? I know that's see this is why we need jackoff stations yeah that Dana White really could

have used one yeah and I look forward to helping take meta to the next level awesome they're already worth 1.7 trillion dollars I'm sure you'll add plenty of it it is very funny the way even Zuck talks about it Dana Dana John and Charlie I don't know much about John and Charlie but I can't do it I keep well out of depth of expertise and perspective, that will help us tackle the massive opportunities ahead with AI wearables and the future of human connection. What the fuck? What the fuck? Yeah. ...to the table on that. I don't know. And then John Elkan, as you remember, the Italian guy said, I am honored to be able to contribute to the future of one of the most significant companies

of the 21st century. I look forward to bringing my global experience and long-term perspective to the border as meta continues to shape and push the next frontiers of innovation and technology. Yeah But I mean These guys just made massive bets And it's paying off I mean Dana White

He loved to see guys Kick each other in the head And he was like I gotta turn this into some shit Truly And he was gonna do jackoff stations And he made He made a fucking fortune on it

But to go from that To he was Giving speeches The night Trump won You know With the Trump Team and everything You're like

How How did he make this fucking... Because it's all... UFC and it's all this machismo shit. Like, all the UFC guys are very... You know, everybody in the Republican Party loves the UFC. Even if they don't, they say they do, because it's like the cool thing.

Right. Yeah, UFC's fucking tight. Like, UFC's fine. And a couple of my friends love watching the things. And they're not these type of people or anything. But, yeah, and it's just, I don't know, man. the party's over everybody uh the the republicans i think the party's just getting started yeah yeah all right yeah all right i'm excited again why we were so over but now i just back or

whatever it's uh yeah i don't know it's just up is down black is white i it's not only just this like culture shift stuff just like we were saying even with the bots it's bots on your platform went from bad to good it's i i can't even make heads or tails of this kind of stuff that's what pisses me out like, you know, me, a stock guy. I searched the cash tag for a certain stock. It's just fucking bots on there, man. They're all promoting bot discords. And I'm like, where are the people actually giving commentary on this particular stock? Stock twits is actually good because it doesn't have that. Yes, that's the thing. The internet is not going to be the same. It's not going to be the internet that we knew and loved. You're not going to be able to get reliable

information from people or sources, really. I kind of stopped using chat GPT as much and now use, I think it's what's a perplexity. Because at least like when you ask it something, it gives you all the links to where it's pulling from. I can be like, okay, I can go to those and not rely on your shit. Well, speaking of chat GPT, Sam Altman, who's just, man, I don't fucking trust him. I really don't. But he had this, he posted on his blog a few days ago. guy who's got to get back in the good graces of Trump and Elon. Yeah, he posted on his blog. He said,

we are now confident. Listen to this, folks. Sam Altman, the guy who's behind chat GPT, who's like the poster child for AI, for AI. He said, we are now confident. We know how to build AGI, artificial general intelligence, as we have traditionally understood it. We believe that in 2025 this year, we may see the first AI agents join the workforce and materially change the output of companies. We continue to believe that iteratively putting great tools in the hands of people leads to great, broadly distributed outcomes. We are beginning to turn our aim beyond that to superintelligence in the true sense of the word. Great. We love our current products, but are here for the glorious future. With super intelligence, we can do anything else. Super

intelligent tools could massively this part I agree with and I think it's good when in the right hands and used responsibly super intelligent tools could massively accelerate scientific discovery and innovation well beyond what we are capable of doing on our own and in turn

massively increase abundance and prosperity. Funny enough, the FDA actually just released guidance on the use of artificial intelligence in research and drug stuff because obviously they've got to let companies know, like, there's got to be some kind of parameters and guardrails for using

AI in this way. No. The incoming administration? Oh, that's going to be all fucking out the door. Do you think they're going to confirm RFK, by the way? Because that depends. If so, I'm going to buy some of the psychedelic stocks. I don't know.

I think he probably will. There hasn't been any grumblings of him. There also hasn't been any real fight. Yeah. for anything. So it seems like the planet is to just roll over. Yeah. I mean, the Democratic Party will be a bit of a, you know, vichy France, if you know what I mean. We have the gerontocracy. Our last, one of our last things is the fucking sick old politicians. Nancy Pelosi is 84, by the way. Well, that's kind of the funny thing. In the face of all of these

monumental things happening, it's unfortunate that we're, these are the images and stories coming out about our lawmakers. It's also very funny thinking about all these technocrats who are taking over the government and just being like doing the sure grandma meme

and ushering them into just make sure you get in there and vote. Yeah. There's a photo of her using a walker at, not that there's anything wrong with that. I know, we have to fucking do

this disclaimer every time of like it's, there's nothing wrong with it, but we're the love. Because she's fucking 84. Yeah. And she's worth a quarter of a billion dollars. That's why. And she's done. She should fucking retire. She's using a Walker during his election certification. And not only that, but go back to the thing. Yeah, this is nothing. I mean. K. Granger, 81. A member of a, what, what, Congress or Senate? No, she's a, yeah, she's a, she's a, she's a Congress member. She's a Congress member. Her last vote was in July. You know why? Because she's in an assisted care facility with some.

dementia issues. And nobody noticed. Nobody noticed. She's a sitting member of Congress in an assisted care facility with dementia issues. There's also, there's also evidence that she transferred the deed to her house because she's no longer living there. And, you know, Oops. Might as well make a little money and, you know, pass it on to your kids and do all that stuff. Get your affairs in order. But while you're getting your affairs in order, make sure to never fucking leave Congress and let someone. younger do the fucking guy. You gotta go Feinstein mode. Go Feinstein mode. I mean

and that's another one who she's no longer with us but goddamn held on to the last minute with just like video footage of interns, you know, just begging her to please say I. Just fucking, we should just bring them out to the desert or to a cliff, just a cliff and go

midsummer mode and say hey there's a, I don't know, there's $250,000 in donations over at the edge of that cliff and they'll go, where? And then you fucking kick them over the cliff. And if they land and they don't die, then you take a sledgehammer to their heads.

Just like it's them. Okay. Jesus Christ. Anyway, Virginia Fox is a prime example of this. What a sexy name. Honestly. Fox with two X's. Insane. She's 81 and she fell down some fucking marble stairs.

And didn't die. That's the thing also is they don't. They don't fucking die. They don't fucking die. Imagine this woman deciding about AI regulations. Oh, yeah. As soon as I get back up with these marble stairs

I'm gonna go load on this AI stuff Yep sure I'm gonna go Then I'm gonna go Get some ice cream Because I sure do love that Ain't no robot

Gonna be able to scoop ice cream Like they can down at that scoopies What you want to do some jackoff What would they call jack off station? Sure I vote for that too I don't trust her to do the right thing About jack off stations To wipe her own ass properly

Let alone vote for fucking AI shit that she We don't even understand this stuff in the implications. You mean Virginia Fox? Slippery Virginia Fox? She's doing just fine after her fall down stairs.

Oh, got it. Got it. Cool. Yeah. She wasn't doing just fine before the fall. Got it. Got it. Got it.

Yeah. Oh, okay. No. Yeah, I'll be able to vote this week on the new AI stuff for sure. Yep. Me and Nancy Pelosi going to vote on this new robot stuff.

Shoot. Should we? Hmm. I wonder if we should give the robots access to To sensitive government Yeah, you know what? I'm just going to say yeah Because I don't understand

None of this stuff I won't go get ice cream What about giving the AI nuclear code? Oh yeah, why not? Y'all trust him, right? Mark Zuckerberg told me that it was good. She's saying this as she's slipping downstairs.

Yeah, whoops. Whoops. But she's fine. She's fine still. Whoops, almost really hurt me that time. Thank God, thank God I got this full diaper on. Boy, thank God my diaper was full. Padded my tailbone.

That's the sad thing. Jesus, H. But the worth one that was in the news was... Look at that face. Look at her. Christ! Sorry, folks, but this is terrible. It's upsetting.

She's got one dead eye, too. Look at. Which is fine. It's fine. Again, it's fine. But it's not fine because it's obviously. a product of her being 80 fucking one. And being 81 is also

fine, but she should be... Yeah, but not in the government. She should be hanging out with her grandchildren. You should be taking tickets, punching tickets at the jackoff station. That's where your nation needs you. No, no, no, no. Punch it. Put old folks in the jackoff stations. That'll give the young frustrated men a little bit of valuable

perspective. She'll be going, gee, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be getting a girlfriend? And that'd be going, no, I want to jack off her. Okay, that's fair. Give me your ticket. Look at her. She should be fucking... The most upsetting one is that even when there is a chance to get some new blood in there,

for example, with the Oversight Committee, a lot of people thought AOC might get a shot at this. She's 35-year-old. She's my age. Surely she didn't use to some 74-year-old Jerry Connolly with cancer. Jerry Connolly, who has aggressive esophageal cancer. Which is fine. You can have that.

It's fine to have cancer. But so not at all, not, and dude, when you fucking look it up, he did an interview. They, they ask him, you know, why he's even in the running at this point. You know, you're 74, which again is fine. And he has an aggressive esophageal cancer. Again, fine. And he said, you know what? Because I've been around a long time and it's my turn.

It's my shot. Suck my dick, Jerry Connolly. Cancer and all. Suck my dick. Christ, and it doesn't even have to be O-C. It could be someone... Yeah, someone under 60. Yeah, what the fuck?

Yeah, yeah. Put him in the jack-off stations. Punch tickets at the jack-off station, Jerry Connolly. Look at them teeth. Look at them chompers. They should put him in a carrot testing facility. He should test all the carrots. Yeah, this one's good.

Next one. Yeah, that one's good, too. Boy, look at him. And I mean, this doesn't even. fucking scratches the rest of the I mean Mitch McConnell coming out with just the most swollen fingers you've ever seen just

let these people go good to go easily into the night whatever the fucking look at him he's just a fucking good god he's got the soft soft soft soft almost dead skin

that's what happens when they almost die their skin turns baby sauce they are making a deal with the devil though there is I don't know how they're doing it that they are, there is some kind of, do you think that guy's going to heaven? Picture of Dorian Gray in, in, in the halls of Congress. I don't know what they're doing. Christ.

There's, this guy's old enough where photos hadn't even been in color yet. Oh, oh, Mitch McConnell survived polio. How about it? Good for him. You know, if I woke up in a coma and, and you told me, and I knew nothing about anything, my memory had been wiped, and you had said, hey, you remember a polio? though? And I'd go, yeah, that fucking disease, that debilitating disease from like the 40s? Sure, I remember.

And you were to then say, one of our living politicians in the year 2025 had it. He's old enough to have had polio. Well, surely, yeah, he might still be alive, but what's what are you telling me that? Oh, no, he's still serving in the United States government. I'd want to buy a gun. The nice thing is if RFK gets in there, we might all...

Oh, he guide them to the cliff, I'm sure. Just guide him to the cliff. We might all get a chance at polio, and so we'll be able to say... I could take it. AOC survived polio. I could take on polio, dude. I wouldn't want to do that. I could do it.

I didn't think that it was contagious. I thought it was a birth defect. That's meningitis? No. Sounds like something you'd get at the jackoff station. You know what I'm talking about? You sit down on the wrong surface? I picked up meningitis down at the jackoff station.

Yeah, some unhealthy chap down there. Yeah, look at those bruised hands. Which again, it's fine to have... It's fine to have bruised hands. Severely, severely, severely. The only way to make this fair is... And abandoning. We have to make all the...

We have to make all the tech companies run by 84-year-olds as well. Yeah. That would be fair. So if the regulators are going to be 84, all the tech CEOs have to be 84 as well. I wouldn't trust Mitch McConnell to punch a hole in my Jackoff station ticket. Why would I trust him to run the fucking government? Me just so horny, I just wanted to go in the, just punch the hole. It won't work.

It won't work. I can't seem to get it to work. I'm ready to fucking spew Mitch. I can't hold your horses there. There's other people in line. And then he just freezes up. God damn it, Mitch. I'm sorry.

You're going to have to come back another day. this Jericho station is close. Close for what? Maintenance. It smells like poop all of a sudden. All right, move along. I think when Jimmy Carter died, both our sitting president

and incoming president were now the oldest living presidents. If they bonged heads. Every other president alive who had already served, sometimes two terms, is younger than them. Yes.

Crazy. If they both bonged heads, they would die instantly. You and I bunk heads, we can handle it. Maybe get a little CTE, a little football. I do hate getting my headbunk, though. Dude, getting your headbunk sucks. When I slipped and fell on my stairs last year and I dropped my recycling everywhere,

dude, and then I slid a couple of, and I thought I had a concussion. And the fucking guy, my neighbor across, saw it and just looked at me and didn't even yell out like, hey, you okay over there? Fucking piece of shit. He's probably an AI NPC. A-I-N-P-C. I was on a bit of a precarious ladder this morning trying to take down our... Because we have a little shade thing

that's just kind of tied. And it's just going to get absolutely whipped and slammed into the house if they don't take it down. I'm just getting blown... I was like, this is a head injury waiting to happen. I got it down, though. Well, you know, fuck them.

We'll talk about the Manhattan congestion pricing maybe in the bonus or something. And then, NVIDIA... All you need to know is... It rocks. Every time I hear all you need to know, you know what I think of? Cry hard. Why would you be able to guess?

There used to be this. Cry harder if you're pissed about the congestion pricing. All you need to know. More congestion pricing. We'll keep coming unless morale is improved. But Nvidia did. I'm so fucking glad that this happened. Jensen Huang, the founder and CEO, so CES is going on right now.

The Consumer Electronics Show, it's in Vegas. and Jensen Wong announced a whole bunch of shit including a $3,000 personal AI supercomputer called Digits and it's got the capability to I don't know make videos of Will Smith eating spaghetti

But they look really real It looks really real He did predict that self-driving vehicles would be the first multi-trillion dollar industry Anyway, we'll probably talk about this shit on Friday on the Stock Twits live stream So tune in for that It's going to be really good

and I'm just glad because yeah he shit talked quantum computing and he said it's not going to happen for another 15 years and that made all the stupid

quantum stocks that I missed I'm going to be so pissed when I got to figure out a quantum computer you're not going to have to no I'm gonna I like the latest

and greatest tech I'm gonna say give it to me with these old farts as long as there's old farts in power you know we're never going to have to I don't know

I'm just fucking tired China will invent it China China vagina vagina I'm surprised he hasn't just said vagina. Also, to everyone, any lawmakers in China, anyone in position for power in China,

my offer still stands, I will come be one of those white guys in China who creates content and talks about how great China is just. I would go for Japan. DEMs are open. Japan's not really doing that kind of thing. Sure they are. A friend of mine has been paid to go over there as an influencer. No, no, but this is like specifically...

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I did it for free. It's not like... Shit, I did it for free. It's not like, oh, check out our... tourism it's like the CCP is strong and it is hit my dms i went over there and i had a ball they didn't pay me shit it was clean it was nice people were friendly great cigarettes all the
