Yeah, she does update her songs for various performance venues, you know? She'll, like, do a fun little thing for Cleveland when she's in Cleveland. Why not update it too?
Starting point is 00:06:28 It's the easiest free applause in the world is just to say the name of a city. It's so, it's so good. Also, what gets your heart racing? more than espresso, hot dogo. What? There is something that, hearing a pop star pretend to love Cleveland is so fun. It's so fun to see. They're like, we love you Cleveland.

Also, Molly World, coming soon.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Are we saying that yet? Yeah, we can say that. It's Molly Lambert! Yeah! Never-ending podcast fun. Yeah. I wrote that one myself. I love it.
Starting point is 00:08:24 My czar-larsin intro. There you're rocking a Shade shirt. One of my favorites. My wedding song was Shadei. and my dad, who was a basketball coach, would always slide Shadeh quotes into his, like, into his press conferences. And people are like, what? Really?
Starting point is 00:08:46 Yeah, yeah. He'd be like, hey, as Shadee said, I don't, I don't remember exactly what lyric he quoted, but. God, that rock. Like, your love is king. Yes, as Shade said, your love is king. Boston Celtics beat writer. Yeah. It's like, what a weird inappropriate thing.
Starting point is 00:09:05 for you to say. Beat writers say all sorts of shit. That's right. Molly, thrilled to have you here. How are you doing? Very good. My cat is very excited today. I know, your cat is popping off back there.
Starting point is 00:09:19 I love it. I can't wait. I love when the blur is on and you can see that something's going on. Yeah. It's good. But it's a mystery. The blur is on so you won't see my cat knocking everything off the table, but He can go past that.
Starting point is 00:09:37 I don't know why I turned to the, I had the blur on for a while, I turned the blur off and I was doing like a Zoom yoga class the other day, brag, but my dog was fully sucking himself off in full view for like half the class and for some reason I was like, I'm blurred. He can suck himself off. You know what? It was full in full view. That's a yoga move. That is.
Starting point is 00:10:00 It's true. It's like, it's like, hey, you know. Hey, you ugly clucks, bet you can't do this. It's true. Yeah. Think that's something? We can't suck ourselves off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:13 That is their great advantage over all of us. After you turn 35, it's way harder to suck yourself off by here. That's what they were saying in your yoga class. Yeah. And as we know, one vertebra at a time, one vertebrae at a time. God, I can't. And I can totally roll myself up one vertebrae at a time. And that's something you should know about me is I know what that means when they say that.
Starting point is 00:10:41 And I do it every time. Oh, I do the thing where you just eventually collapse. Yeah. I just have like a straight backbone that just like I can't roll it up one at a time. I think it's in two parts maybe. Yeah. It's like a dinosaur. Built like a flip phone.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Yeah. Body like a flip phone. Body like a flip phone. Body like a flip phone. All right, Molly, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of the things we're talking about, say what you will about facial recognition software. And here on this podcast, we're big fans.
Starting point is 00:11:27 But it does, it has presented us with a fun new thing where you can find your doppelganger. So there's somebody who's a doppelganger has been found in Indiana and like it was causing all sorts of hell for them and that's going viral. So we're going to talk about that exciting new angle of facial recognition software. We're going to talk about Emily Hart, who is a fast rising mega influencer who it was just revealed is a medical student in India who was like, yeah, I needed to pay my way through medical school. So he, he, he, just did like three queries into an AI. And they were like, here, this is a person who will get three to 10 million views on each reel.
Starting point is 00:12:13 So we'll talk about that. And then we will talk about the reclassification of marijuana, potentially making it uncool forever. The Trump administration has reclassified marijuana. All of that, plenty more. But first, Molly, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that's revealing about, who you are. Look, I'm not going to pretend I was looking up something cool. I've been reading
Starting point is 00:12:38 the summer house Reddit. Uh-huh. Okay. Oh, anything good? I mean, I don't know if you guys are embroiled in the summer house scandal. I need to know the latest because I just got the very basics as it was happening and then we kind of dropped it for a minute so that we could focus on stranger things conspiracies, I guess. It seems like they went back in and edited the remaining episodes of the season to pay more attention to the possible infidelity that was happening between Amanda and West.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Amanda married to Kyle, the number one guy on the show. Yeah. So it's like number one. Two couples who were, people were already interested in and then... Basically, the main couple on the show has been getting,
Starting point is 00:13:28 heading towards divorce, but this was the scandal. is that the wife was having an affair with one of the other guys on the show, wasn't revealed until recently. Now they're going back and re-editing the rest of the episodes to shine more light on that. So what they've done is just put in a bunch of scary music. Okay. Nothing says infidelity like it.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Yeah, so it was like they show the characters talking, and then this week they started playing this weird cello music that was like, do do do do do do do do. That sounds like music when Mario dies. While they're telling us, I mean, West has a mustache. It sounds royalty free for sure. That's right. I love when someone drops a royalty free hit.
Starting point is 00:14:19 I'm like, good for you, good for you. That is like they put it over a scene that would otherwise not play ominous if you didn't have this new information. And they made it, it became ominous. Well, I mean, I love being told how to feel. I think I mean that. Oh, yeah. Please, lead me by my nose. Yeah. Whatever you need. Yeah, please. Okay. Manipulate me into feeling. Are you, like, do you have, I mean, it seems like pretty uncontroversial just everybody hates the couple that cheated. And like they already kind of hated them. And so this just, it's sort of a Vanderpump rules sit, right? Where like everybody already hated the scandal. Not to get to in the weeds here, but it's more complicated. There's some racial elements of it, some racism.
Starting point is 00:15:06 The person that got sort of lied to and screwed over, who's not the husband, is her name's Sierra, and she's sort of the hero of the show. Right. But basically there's just a lot of her telling this guy, like, I'm worried you're going to humiliate me again. And please don't do that. And he's like, oh, of course, I would never do that. I would never embarrass you. Are you fucking kidding right now saying that that I would do that? Like, that's actually fucked up.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Yeah, pretty much. And then that's when the cello music comes in to be like, do, do, do, do, do, do. I wonder if he'll betray it. Spoiler alert, he sucks. Yeah. But, uh, yeah. West is his name?
Starting point is 00:15:51 Yeah, he, um, he's a New York fuck boy who has a food eating TikTok where he's like, damn this cheeseburger hits that's his whole thing is it like generational wealth like no no he works for complex okay so he's just like gaming the algorithm type content yeah and he
Starting point is 00:16:18 he's just like not great to women but he everyone's like oh it's because he was a D1 athlete oh yeah you're allowed to do it then there's no way around it Everyone's just like he's not that hot or anything. Like, where's you getting this crazy-ass confidence, overconfidence? And everyone's like, oh, he's a D1 athlete. I think that name West also is not helping things.
Starting point is 00:16:39 I think that's the sort of name that gives you, like, really big confidence. It does seem like every possible red flag is already there. Also, this is beside the point, but it is, like, truly stunning to me how many self-identifying food influencers, like, their content boils down to, like, yummy in my tummy. Like it. Thank you. And you're like, that's it? And then they're like, they're like, I've been nominated for a James Beer
Starting point is 00:17:04 award. Weird. Yum. Yum. What? Wait. They don't even like say anything about the food that decides that it's good, which is what it's intended to be.
Starting point is 00:17:19 No, because they're being paid to be told. Say it's good. You can't say everything becomes an adjective where they're like, ooh, so sandwichy. Mm-hmm. God. It's giving sandwich. It's getting sandwiches? Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Look, millennials catch a lot of heat for that kind of shit, but I will say Gen Z is also fully doing it now. They're being too cute and they're just, everyone's finding their brain dead bullshit. Mm-hmm. Let, leave me by the nose. You know what, though. The way the world is, sometimes you need a yummy sandwich. Mm-hmm. Yeah, but keep it to yourself. That's what I say. Keep it to your selfie at yummy in my tummy. I just want to watch someone else do it.
Starting point is 00:18:02 I'm a sandwich cuck. You're saying. Well, that's what Summerhouse is about. That's right. Sandwich cucks. What is something that you think is underrated, Molly? All right. I'm going to go my overrated first and then underrated.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Hey, Molly, what's something you think is overrated? Overrated? I think new television and movies are, overrated? New television. Yeah. Just everything new. Who needs new stuff?
Starting point is 00:18:31 We made enough stuff. Stop making it. Underrated, and this will be a controversial underrated, because nobody would ever say this is underrated. Sesame Street, you can watch on Tooby now. Oh. You can watch the entire run of Sesame Street. On Tooby.
Starting point is 00:18:50 On To be. On Tobey in general is underrated. Yeah, To be, maybe that's the overrated. Overrated, Prestige. streamers underrated Tooby. Yeah. The people streamer. If you're willing to watch the same Fabriz
Starting point is 00:19:03 commercial four times in a row every 20 minutes and I am, Tube is amazing. La La, La, Fabriz Yes. Yes. And it's all like, I mean, I'm sure that there's different ones, but I always get the one where the mother is like,
Starting point is 00:19:20 my son smells like shit. But look. And then she just like nukes his room with Fabriz. Yeah. It's funny how ads have never changed. They just like change, update the slang a little bit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:32 They're like, my disgusting soy cuck son is slime maxing in his room. I didn't know that the whole run is available on Tooby. That's incredible. That's incredible. You never need to watch anything else except for Sesame Street. You can see the origin stories of all the characters. How did Big Bird and Slimey Meat find out? Slimy?
Starting point is 00:19:58 Slimy the worm. Oh, right. Come on, Jack. Come on, Jack. I love, every once in a while, one will, like, end up in my feed or I'll, like, I don't know, just think of one. All of the, like, I miss the experimental animation that used to be on Sesame Street all the time where, like, I don't know, they were giving the coolest people, like, PBS money to do whatever. It was so beautiful. It was, like, invented.
Starting point is 00:20:26 by people who are doing a lot of LSD too. And like it looks like it in the early days. It really like has that energy. Bring back LSD on children's television. Did you guys see the video with Elmo and Rami Yusuf? Yeah. That was also heartwarming to me. Very cute.
Starting point is 00:20:45 It was beautiful. And I, every single example of him responding to right-wing backlash is very funny. They did have Elmo respond. Yeah. Elmo should, yeah. Put your money where your mouth is Elmo. What is that? How did they drop Elmo? Like, did you, do you, are you guys aware of his origin story? Because Elmo came out like in the 90s, right? Like, he was after. Yeah, Elmo was just kind
Starting point is 00:21:10 dropped in. They're like, here's our new friend Elmo. Yeah. I'm pretty sure he was, I think he was, like, developed to speak to like, I think sub preschoolers specifically. Right. And then he got so famous. I remember as a kid being like elmo's world wasn't on when i was really little but it was on when my brother was really little and the feeling in the household was this emmph is getting too much screen time he was getting too much in the household no it was like many are saying it's just you crossing your arms me and sometimes my dad no it's like bring back grover the neurotic misanthrope yes i've been thinking about prairie dawn recently like we're they ditched so many people people to make space.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Jamie, you've kind of a Prairie Dawn energy. Thank you so much. Obviously, I love her. Jack, kind of a Kermit. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:22:05 That's very nice of you. I think there's a lot of, I think there are more Kermit people out there, but I, look if you've ever hosted anything. Yeah, yeah. That's true.
Starting point is 00:22:16 You've got that Kermit energy. Yeah. I think, yeah, I think Kermit is deep down very influential, like, in the,
Starting point is 00:22:24 like, a lot of people entire personalities. There's like a whole genre of human that is like Kermody. And they all got bodies like a flip phone. We all got bodies like that. That's right. That's where I learned how to move. That's where I learned how to ride a bike. Yeah. No spinal cord on that guy. Why. Luce wins. Yeah. Victor, thank you very much. Victor said I got that frog in me. That's right. Big frog got to eat, you know. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Yep. Sure, why the hell not? I also, yeah, I appreciate your point on new television. I just feel like there's too many movies to ever run out of good movies to be watching. I mean, look, I watch Taxi, the 70s sitcom. Wow. So there's old TV, too, is what you're telling me. I need to take it next.
Starting point is 00:23:21 And you know what? A lot of it's better than new TV. I do say something I call the Gabagool test, which is like the Bechdel test, but it's like, will this be better than the Sopranos? Oh, that's an unfair yardstick to you. Are you like kind of meet like one foot out on the Sopranos? No, I'm saying the Gaba Goull test is this going to be better than the Sopranos. If not, why don't I just watch the Sopranos?
Starting point is 00:23:48 Why are I just watching the Sopranos over and over again? Correct. There you go. I learned not to, I don't, it might be over by now, but my, uh, my friend was talking about, I guess for a long time, it was really hard to find the Drew Carey show streaming or anything like that. And at some point, the Drew Carey show made an official YouTube account and was doing something called Drew Drops. And like three times a week at the same time, they would like upload most of the Drew Carey show is now on YouTube for free. Um, but they did this like, really. Um, but they did this like, really. fun, slow rollout where there would be people watching live for Drew drops for like an episode that aired 25 years ago. But that's so funny because I almost brought up the Drew Carey show earlier because you're talking about how Cleveland rocks.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Yeah. Ohio! I always loved the way they ended that song by just screaming Ohio. I didn't watch that show when it came out, but the Drew drops have really, like, I was missing out. It's really good. The people yearn for sitcoms. They do.
Starting point is 00:24:54 They do. And we won't, we'll never get them again. But this is what I've been noticing is like YouTube comedy crews, you know, where it's like they start, they just keep getting bigger and bigger until finally they're an ensemble. And I'm like, it's because the people yearn for sitcoms. Yeah. This right here, what we're doing, workplace comedy. That's right. We're hurting.
Starting point is 00:25:15 We have three cameras on us. It's like one of those COVID-era shows where they're like, what if everyone's on Zoom? we have a laugh track they're just very quiet they're not they're not feeling us at all but we do have a laugh track all right so if if you had to recommend an old tv show that i can catch up on it would be sesame street it would be it's really fun to see how the characters looked at first Oscar was orange to begin with oh i forgot about that briefly orange yeah yeah That's crazy. Changes everything.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Really? When you think about it? Nothing is the same. Nothing. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back and we'll talk about some news. We'll be right back.
Starting point is 00:26:09 A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care which I'll say. Yep, that's me. Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

I hope to see you all there. I hope to see you all at the Shrek 25 screening at the AMC Burbank. So Shrek is coming up on its 25th anniversary, and they're just re-releasing it in theaters. They'll do that for kind of any movie. now, which I appreciate.
Starting point is 00:30:33 I've seen a lot of movies that I missed, like, for the, like, I, for like 10 years ago or whatever. It's just, we're going back to re-releasing stuff. It's nice. And it also supports your theory, Molly, if we don't need new movies. We don't need new movies. You just re-released the old ones. I just want to see Cape Fear, the Scorsese movie.
Starting point is 00:30:51 There you go. It was great. Is that back out, like, wide, or that was just like a Tarantino Theater? Yeah, yeah. I think it's because there's, like, an Apple show remake. And you know what? I don't need the remit. because I got the original.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Don't you want to know the lore, though? The prequel to Cape Fear. Yeah. What's the fuck? Don't you want to know how he got that crazy hair? Yeah. Why he found that movie so funny? Well, you know what?
Starting point is 00:31:18 That part where he finds the movie so funny. Do you know what movie it is? Oh, wait. I can't remember it. It's like a 90. It's problem child. Yes, problem child. And I don't know if the IMDB trivia is accurate,
Starting point is 00:31:30 but it claimed that he, he just De Niro just started laughing genuinely a problem child and it wasn't in the script. That's a sick person. He was like a sicko with laugh at problem child. So what's the point of that sketch going to be? What was the point of that scene going to be that? The scene was going to be that he's just there being creepy, smoking a cigar. Smoking a cigar.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Allegedly he genuinely just started releasing. What if I did something even creepy? You would be too. of the most interesting people to talk to about this. Because during our icon episode about Bart Simpson, I was realizing that there was this like moment in the early 90s that was like the problem child moment where everybody, like Bart Simpson, Kevin McAllister from Home Alone,
Starting point is 00:32:22 the problem child himself. But then like even like they were like Terminator 2. Great. Like we have this amazing premise. We're going to put like, Bart Simpson character in the middle of it. It's going to be like, get out of here, dude.
Starting point is 00:32:37 No way, bro. That sucks. But yeah, it was this weird moment in the early 90s where everyone was just like, our main obsession is nine to 12 year old boys who are assholes. Yeah, they're rude dudes with attitudes.
Starting point is 00:32:54 Yeah, yeah. Sold a lot of T-shirts. Yeah, because that's who buys those t-shirts. Yeah. That's right. That's true. Elvarto. I do feel like, I mean, maybe
Starting point is 00:33:05 it's just like nostalgia bias, but it did feel like the kids were especially quippy during that time. And then that sort of gave way to one of my least favorite kinds of movie kids, which is like the Sundance movie kid, who is not a problem
Starting point is 00:33:21 child at all and is uniquely wise and has to tell Joseph Gordon-Levett how to treat women or whatever. That one is not as fun. They were like, what if this character who's basically like a a Yoda wise character. What if it was a five-year-old
Starting point is 00:33:36 girl? Exactly. Exactly. We want kids who shred and tag. Yeah. It was kind of the lead edge
Starting point is 00:33:46 of the extreme sports movement. Love sunglasses. Yeah. Yeah. Those are the days. A lot of fluorescent clothing and sick Nerf gun battles.
Starting point is 00:33:59 tear away jeans. Great. Tear away jeans? Or tear away pants in general. I like tear away jeans. You know, sometimes jeans be stifling you. That's true. Nothing that I've ever wanted to tear away more than a pair of jeans.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Any pair of jeans that I'm wearing. All right, let's talk about facial recognition software. We're all pro. I don't even have to ask you guys. We love it. We love it here, the Daily Zikeis. But all right, so break. news, Indiana's DMV is called the BMV, which is just silly.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Really? It's Bureau instead of department would be my guess. It's department. Department of motor vehicles. They flagged a Indiana woman named Erica Brown's driver's license renewal photo for potential fraud because it too closely matched another woman's photo of the same age who also lives in Indiana and the side by side of the two pictures is going around.
Starting point is 00:35:00 They do look very similar. And she shared it on social media and everyone's like, whoa. And now she's going viral. Like the pictures are going viral. Like I don't think she's found the other person yet. So that's got to be weird for them to be like famous for being
Starting point is 00:35:17 this person's doppelganger. But I think the reason this is like going viral is because it is like, have you guys ever seen a doppelganger of yourself or like out there on social media? I mean, I'm always confused. Yeah, somebody sent me one recently and I was like, oh yeah, totally.
Starting point is 00:35:38 And it was a picture of Melissa Offdemauer from Hole in the 90s with Drew Barry Moore. And they were like, I thought this was you. And I was like, oh, I thought that was me too now. Yeah. Jack, do you have fun? Yeah, I've had a bunch. There's like a ton of people out there.
Starting point is 00:35:55 there who look identical to me. Scary. It is. It's really weird. I have one that I like, I just found the article I wrote 10 years ago, God, about a woman who who looked exactly like me when she was like 14 only. As adults, we looked very dissimilar. Right.
Starting point is 00:36:17 But yeah, it's every time of a very particular episode of Law and Order SB would air. I would get texts being like, hey, you. you look like this. It's like a child who's being cyber bullied. They're like, oh my God. I'll put it in the chat. And that's also kind of your energy to. There's a law and order. People have sent me because there's a lot in order people have sent me because there's a stripper named Molly Lambert in it. And so there's a bunch of iced tea being like, Molly Lambert, she's got a Toyota Corolla.
Starting point is 00:36:50 She sounds awesome. This has to be a plot of Law & Order. I have a horrible Google Ganger I just got, if you don't mind if I bring the whole mood down. Someone sent me a story from people.com that was about someone whose name was Molly Lambert, and it was like, Molly Lambert thought she was a pedophile
Starting point is 00:37:13 because she kept having intrusive thoughts about that she might be a pedophile, but it turns out she just had this special type of OCD that makes you worried you're a pedophile. Maria Bamford has that. Really? Mm-hmm. Also, my friend was like, oh, that's in my OCD workshop. But for some reason, they published an article in people about this, like, 22-year-old named Molly Lambert.
Starting point is 00:37:38 There you go to show. And I was like, ooh, that's going to show up in my... Fun thing to have to follow you. I have to go around being like, well, she's not actually a pedophile. No, it's just an intrusive thought. It's a true. It's just worried. but shout out Katie Natopoulos
Starting point is 00:37:56 for sending me that and horrify. She saw it on Facebook. Did she this you? Did she this you, you? She was like, sorry I saw this on Facebook and had to send it to you. Yeah, I just think this is an experience
Starting point is 00:38:10 everybody's had and now we're going to like want to use facial recognition. Like I feel like if they productize this and they're just like, hey, we'll find your we'll find your doppelganger. Like you can reach out to them. like that will be a thing. Yeah, it's all, also not to be a bummer,
Starting point is 00:38:29 but it's all very, like, scary. I don't know, every, like, facial recognition story is so terrifying to me, especially because, like, these are two women of color that, like, facial recognition software is uniquely bad at, like, recognizing and understanding because of the data sets they have.
Starting point is 00:38:49 It just, like, I don't know, cutifying this technology, like, it makes sense that it's happening. And it's like, no fault of like the woman it's happening to like make lemonade go nuts. But it just, it just freaks me out. Because this is something that, I mean, even with certain, whatever, like trends that go around, like it's just trying to have you voluntarily hand over more data sets. And it makes, I don't know. Oh, yeah. Like when everybody was like, when they were like, post.
Starting point is 00:39:21 pictures of yourself from this year, this year, and this year, and it was like, bro. Yeah. They're trained in the AI. Yeah, and like, and you're helping. Yeah. Yeah, like those, those, it makes me feel so conspiratorial, but I totally believe that those trends, like, are a way to get data sets on how people look as they age. Yeah, for sure they are.
Starting point is 00:39:42 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And also, I totally get that it's fun. I don't know. I had to like, how do people just have old photos? of themselves like on hand like that. My photos go back to when I got this phone after the last phone died. There's a bunch of pictures of me in college.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Here's my seventh grade, like me every day in seventh grade that I have scanned in like a high quality. I'm like I have no idea what I looked like in seven years. Although I did look like Ralph Machio. Oh, that I believe. I did like young Ralph Machio. That's actually what I'm like. Yet another doppel ganger. Yeah, I was a chopper ganger of Ralph Machio.
Starting point is 00:40:23 That phrase is trending, or word is trending. That is someone who looks like someone else but uglier. But I was a chopped doppelganger of Ralph Machio in seventh grade. But yeah, it does feel a little bit like those fun apps when they were first to just being like, yeah, we can show you what you would look like as a boy or, you know, what you look like when you'll look like when you're 90. Like, they were doing that in my kids' school. They were like, look at this fun piece of technology where we'll show them as old people.
Starting point is 00:40:56 And now, yeah, it seemed paranoid at the time to be like, this is bad. And now, like, Palantir is issuing these manifestos being like, we should get to decide if you get killed. And, yeah. So, yeah, I think all that. Yeah, we are putting your, if your face is symmetrical into the
Starting point is 00:41:18 decide if you die machine. Yeah. Katie Golden wrote this story and she was pointing out like also it's just like if we're turning law enforcement and stuff over to these things
Starting point is 00:41:33 like they're not going to like this was just because like it was a license that like application like you can totally see a world where they're like yeah tell it to the judge. Oh sure. You look like somebody else. And it's like everybody
Starting point is 00:41:47 has that experience, but like this technology does not make room for it in any way. Yeah. Like what is the, I don't know, the consequences are so, I read a book a couple years ago, Brave, again, called, that's it. You just stopped there. Guys, I just wanted to let you know. Thank you. But it's called more than a glitch that like sort of breaks down all of the, I mean,
Starting point is 00:42:13 it's, if you haven't like gotten into like, all of the ways that AI is attacking people in very particular ways and like facial recognition specifically, I'd recommend it. It's called more than a glitch by Meredith Broussard. All right. Speaking of AI in ways that it's attacking us, there's... Oh, more. Cool. Yeah, we got another one. Oh, right. From Wired did an article about this influencer who is line goes up in big time on Instagram and all the social media platforms. Her name's Emily Hart. And she is a blonde woman who loves wearing bikinis, drinking beers, and shooting guns, and, you know, pledging allegiance to Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Oh, and she don't exist? And she don't exist. She turns out. Her feed mixed bikini shots with pro-Trump content, gun photos, and captions like, Christ is king, abortion is murder, and all illegals must be deported. Instagram's algorithm devoured the content. Individual reels hit three to 10 million views each. And it turns out it was this dude who was like, how do I pay my way through medical school in India?
Starting point is 00:43:29 And he just put queries into Gemini. And Gemini was like, let me handle this for you. Like it was literally like, he was like, how can I like make money marketing? They were like, try becoming a maggot influencer by making up attractive blonde woman. Invent a fascist woman. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Oh my God. It's like weird science. Yes. It's exactly like weird science. They're like put like boop, boop, boop, hot, terrible lady. Yeah. It's also worth noting that I don't pay for a wired subscription.
Starting point is 00:44:03 So I got this like summary of the Wired article on Yahoo. And I'm pretty sure it was also AI. Because I'm just going to read you the first sentence of the article. Google's Gemini AI didn't help a 22-year-old Indian medical student create content, comma, capital.
Starting point is 00:44:23 It also served up the playbook for weaponizing American political divisions. Sick. Didn't help, you know? Yeah, so I think it's just AI all the way down. And like, the article is also not like, Jesus Christ. Like, what are we? It's just like, and this is like the way that like marketing. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Look at this trend in marketing. Yeah, the fact that both of these AI stories are kind of, it sounds like kind of being framed as like human interest pieces. Yeah, exactly. It's such a bummer. How did he get caught? I mean, outside of Molly guessing immediately. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:03 I mean, I saw something. I don't know if it was the same person, but it was, yeah, just like, like there's like an army girl. is that the same thing? There's one who's like, I'm in the army and here's all my guns. Yeah, yeah. I think this is very common. Yeah, I think it's just like a type of marketing.
Starting point is 00:45:23 It's like those hot girls of the IDF propaganda accounts, but like just making up some girls. But what makes this one interesting is that it was created out of desperation to educational debt. Yeah, that is... That's called hustle.
Starting point is 00:45:41 That's called Grindset, dog. That is. The thing I will say, that's incredibly, the most depressing aspect of this type of thing is you look in the comments and everybody's like, I love you pretty lady. Of the article about how she's fake? No, just like in the comments of the AI girls, people are just like, you're so beautiful.
Starting point is 00:46:03 I want to meet you. Tell me how to. And I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced that, like, I'd be curious how many of those comments are real too. Because you're just like totally true. There's like bots on bots. There's bots on bots. It's bots.
Starting point is 00:46:18 It's just an infinite, empty universe of bots like chirping back and forth at each other. It is like the dog self-suck of bots. But guys, we're ready to pivot to video again. Real people are definitely watching it. It's huge. It's massive. The consumption on this stuff?
Starting point is 00:46:37 Crazy. I saw another thing like that too that was about people who are licensed. and saying like AI doppelgangers of themselves to do stuff. One of them was Andy Cohen from Bravo. Oh, wow. To do, like, to go, like, be a spokesperson for something. To, like, make videos that you don't have to actually make. Yeah, up here in.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Maybe to come on a podcast that you can just pretend. I wonder how many of our guests have been. I have, like, two that I could guess at, but I won't. But, whoa, I was here to air them out. Over the course of 2000 episodes, there are two guests that I'd be like, oh, okay. That wasn't a real person. That wasn't real. I will occasionally get these like almost certainly written using AI, maybe from a real person, hard to say.
Starting point is 00:47:27 But like every once in a while, I'll get emails from different versions of like the same offered service where they're like, hey, Jamie, do you want to be on more podcasts? if you pay me $200 today, I'll make sure that you make five podcast appearances in the next two weeks. And you're like, first of all, I would rather, I would sooner die. How dare you? But I think it just feels like another, like the way the internet feels like such a volume game because we're, you know, fighting bots and all this other shit where it's like it doesn't matter if what we're making is good. It just matters that there's a lot of it. And so they're like, who gives this shit what you're talking about? Who gives the shit if you're promoting something?
Starting point is 00:48:12 Give me $200 and I can guarantee you'll have the worst two weeks of your life. They've identified that the thing you need help with is breaking into the podcast. Yeah, you've got to get booked on more podcast, Jamie. Jamie wants to crack this podcast industry. It's so bizarre. Oh, man. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about Mary Jane, bit of the old. Mary Jane. We'll be right back. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:48:57 Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment, and the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music. The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast.
Starting point is 00:49:33 It's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger. So, if you've ever supported me or your job, just chasing down a dream, this is right where you need to be. Listen to the Clifford show on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl.
Starting point is 00:50:06 You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends, Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me?
Starting point is 00:50:30 The cops didn't seem to care, so they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Starting point is 00:50:56 On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here?
Starting point is 00:51:13 We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money,
Starting point is 00:51:40 this conversation is for you to hear more. Listen to Money and Wealth with John, Brian from the Black Effect Network on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. If you're watching the latest season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta,
Starting point is 00:51:58 you already know there's a lot to break down. Gorsha accusing Kelly of sleeping with a married man. They holding Kay Michelle back from fighting Drew. Pinky has financial issues. I like the bougie style of Housewives show. I think it looks like it's going to be interesting. On the podcast, reality with the kids, I, Carlos King, recap the biggest moments from your favorite reality shows, including the Real House Wise franchise, the drama, the alliances, and the team everybody's talking about.
Starting point is 00:52:27 As an executive producer in reality television, I'm not just watching it, I understand the game. As somebody who creates shows, I'll even say this. At the end of the day, when people are at home, they want entertainment. To hear this and more, listen to Reality with the King on the IHard radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back. And as I was talking about being a chopper ganger, Justin chimed in, I missed it,
Starting point is 00:53:03 that one of my coworkers back at Cracked, like worked for the company that was like always treated Cracked. Like, oh, that's cute. They have like a little humor magazine, which was good because they kind of left us alone. Yeah. But she for like a week was. coming in and was like, God, there is an actor who you look exactly like, like exactly.
Starting point is 00:53:28 And I can't fit, can't figure it out. And then like one day was like, I got it. And like other people were like trying to help with us. Just like, I got it. It's Walton Goggins. Like not that many people were like, oh, what are you talking about? He was like, oh, okay. Like when he was on justified?
Starting point is 00:53:46 Yeah, when he was unjustified. Yeah. It was like before everybody knew who Walton Goggins was. So you've gotten to follow his career and be like, that's my boy. Hell yeah. It's my guy right there. I'll take Goggins.
Starting point is 00:53:59 God, anytime, I truly just like, anytime you're about to tell someone they look like someone else, really think about it. Don't do it. Just pause and reflect. Even if you think it might be flattering, you just, you don't know. You really don't know.
Starting point is 00:54:15 You really don't know. I think I want to get the news to make it happen. to make it real. You know, if I could just get a bigger mouth of teeth. Your teeth look fake already. Oh, that's so kind of you. Like real big, real big boys. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:32 You can get the surgery for your legs, but for your teeth. Taller teeth. You could do Uncle Baby Billy for Halloween. I know. Great costume. That would be a good costume. It would be a lot of work. We're not, right?
Starting point is 00:54:50 No, not with this fact. You're a dead ringer. I was finished saying face because that's how clear it was. Not with this fa. Not with this. As we, fa is short for face. Let's talk about weed. Donald Trump has officially reclassified marijuana, a.k.a. the devil's lotus.
Starting point is 00:55:14 moving it from Schedule 1, which you may know is the home of LSD, MDMA, synthetic opioids, to Schedule 3, which is ketamine, anabolic steroids, and testosterone. Whoa, what's two? I don't know. Skip it just jumped two levels? Jumped two? Yeah. Wow. This is being treated as like, man, Trump, I guess broken clock is right.
Starting point is 00:55:44 once a day type thing. And it is true that, like, he also did something with hallucinogens earlier. Like, I think last week where he, uh, was helping deschedule those or like make those easier to research, which I think is like good. And it's truly like,
Starting point is 00:56:03 I think his presidency is just like a game of Plinko or, you know, like it's just whatever, whoever happens to bribe or flatter, him that day gets gets the thing and like sometimes it will be good. It's definitely like whoever he speaks to the last is who he repeats. I'm also wondering like I don't know very much about the like weed industry but it's like how connected it is to just like how extremely profitable it is now where it's like that's the broken clock thing is that like you can make a lot of money
Starting point is 00:56:41 with by selling it and regulating the prices and stuff. Jamie, it's almost like you've, you've been living in this country for a while. Because, yeah, so I would say this one is way more about that than anything else. Like there's, well, it's not because he's cool. It's definitely not that. He specifically said, unless pod is recommended by a doctor for medical reasons, just don't do it.
Starting point is 00:57:10 really is giving sober people such a bad name. People who don't drink or do drugs and like do drink diet Coke. Sober people, diet Coke. Trump is like, you know how people are a dry drunk? Yes, that's right. It's like a dry Coke head. Yeah. Although, except he is on stimulants at all times.
Starting point is 00:57:31 Okay, yeah, he's just a regular Coke. He's a regular Coke head dry drunk. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I do love how many different names rich people have for meth. Yeah, yeah. I will say the president of America is always on speed. Yes.
Starting point is 00:57:47 Yeah, regardless of political affiliation, like JFK was on speed. Yeah, J.K was on speed. Yeah, we talked about that a lot in the randomly in the Carrie Fisher episode. Oh, yeah. I was like, we're not really from you. Yeah, her dad was being injected by the same person who injected. Oh, Dr. Feel Good. And Elvis.
Starting point is 00:58:03 Yeah. And, like, literally did the thing that, like, 80s info or, PSAs like told us drug deals would do where they, he like tricked people into like, come, no, it's all vitamins. It'll feel good.
Starting point is 00:58:18 It's all vitamins. Yeah, yeah. Then they would be like, holy shit, I feel better than I've ever felt. These vitamins are good. Anyways,
Starting point is 00:58:27 yes, presidents are always on speed. That's, that's why they age so badly. It's like, we're like, man, they work so hard.
Starting point is 00:58:35 It's like, no, they haven't slept in fucking four years because they're essentially on meth. They're like, wow, fucking Obama's teeth are falling out. He's working so hard. It's like, no, he's flying on meth. But so the financial reason for this legislation is that weed companies cannot currently apply for the usual tax deductions because they're technically still illegal drug traffickers. And the one thing you do need when you're, when you're going to
Starting point is 00:59:07 invests like billions of dollars in something is you need to be able to not pay taxes on any of your earnings in America. Like you got to get those loopholes. And so he has been the target of an aggressive, Donald Trump has been the target of an aggressive lobbying campaign from cannabis companies, specifically his pal, Howard Kessler, and Kim Rivers, the CEO of True Leave, T-R-U-L-I-E-V-E. Sure. True leave, which is the dispensary company that's stated goal is to be the Starbucks of Wheat.
Starting point is 00:59:44 God, yeah, weed hasn't been cool for a long time. I know. Fucking sucks. Oh, that's such a bummer. I got high for the first time in forever over the weekend, completely by mistake. Whoa. What happened? Well, because I don't like, I am genuinely uncool.
Starting point is 01:00:05 I don't like the feeling of being high. It freaked me out. Me too. I like wine from the gas station and that's about it. But yeah, I accepted. I can do like a low, like a low gummy. I can do that. And an older woman, and this is me being judgmental,
Starting point is 01:00:24 a woman in my mother's age, offered me a gummy. And I was like, I'm not going to ask a question about it. It's probably like a low vibe. And then for the next like 14 hours, I was like out of my fucking. fucking mind. It was awful. Baby boomers are drug addicts. They do not fuck around. She drove home on one of those. I was like, what the fuck is this? Did she put a gun to your head and she was like 420, please it, bitch. It was 420 Eve. I wasn't thinking hard enough. I was not familiar with her game.
Starting point is 01:00:59 But she like, I was like my, well, I won't say, but I was just like, wow, this like beloved family friend made an attempt on my life today. It's crazy. You're probably going to want to be out of your mind for the next 14 hours. Here you go. I woke up the next morning. It's like, it's the worst case scenario of being high where you wake up the next morning and you're like, it's not over. What do you mean? Is this just what my life is from now on? I feel that way every time I get sick or anytime I would get high, I would be like, it's never going to end. This is just what my life is from now on. Horrible. Anyways, they
Starting point is 01:01:40 contributed $750,000 to his inaugural committee. Another $250,000 to American Rights and Reform, which is a super PAC that funneled a million dollars to Trump's Super PAC. And he,
Starting point is 01:01:55 when he signed the executive order, he admitted he was like, I've never been inundated by so many people as I have about reclassifying mail. So he's just like, yeah, I'm doing this because people are bothering me. I'm shocked he's doing it because he's such an 80s man.
Starting point is 01:02:11 I know, right? Yeah. The war on drugs. War on drugs coded, yeah. Like I thought, yeah, you'd be more likely to, like, seek the death penalty for someone. Nancy's rolling in her grave. Because he Trump getting into, like, catamine. Oh.
Starting point is 01:02:27 And like, you guys hear about this? They give it to dogs. He would call, yeah, he's definitely not, I mean, he's historically not opposed to drugs intended for animals. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And Sudafed. I love the fact that he was just abusing Sudafed. I mean, you can get crazy on Sudafed.
Starting point is 01:02:50 That's true. And he has. But he, yeah, so basically the way this is structured is it will specifically help corporations who are trying to make like a billion dollars off of weed sales. It will not immediately legalized marijuana affect the sentences of those incarcerated for possession.
Starting point is 01:03:09 Right. Like it will not have it That's what I'm saying they're probably weighing it against for profit prison profits being like, but uh, yeah,
Starting point is 01:03:18 you don't want to buy weed from the Trump endorsed weed store. I know. No, we're really like most wheat stores. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:03:28 I mean, I honestly, I'm always like, do you think weed, like old, old-timey weed dealing is going to come back? I think it probably will because it's like the prices at the places that sell them are like ridiculous.
Starting point is 01:03:42 I will say I smoke the cheapest weed and it has gotten so cheap that sometimes I am like, wow, I used to pay so much more money for less good weed. So like the dealer stuff has gotten cheaper as the baby boomers have like started just like going into Starbucks. Weeatheel Starbucks. Well, baby boomers are always saying the weed has gotten too strong. that's what I hear from the boomers who smoke weed in my life is the weed the weed is too strong it used to not be so strong and now they've like and I'm always like you can just buy the cheap stuff and it's not as strong like I do agree with them that the weed like sometimes I don't want the weed that's too strong you know like the stuff where it's like there's resin in the weed and
Starting point is 01:04:28 you smoke it off a dab rink or whatever yeah I'm like I don't I don't want to be I don't want to be on Mars. Yeah. It's a, his reclassification won't help people. And also, like, one of the biggest, did you know the, do you know the glasshouse farms is like the place, what one of the biggest weed companies? They're co-founded by an former L.A. cop. Sick. Cool.
Starting point is 01:04:56 And, well, you know, all cops are just criminals. I know. That's right. And for once, someone's doing something. But also the corporate weed guys are all criminals too. I worked on a magazine briefly for a corporate weed company whose name I won't say, but it was one of the big ones. And then they had a huge scandal where they all got shut down.
Starting point is 01:05:21 Yeah. It's like anytime, yeah, it's like anytime there's a sort of like tech financier that all of a sudden decides, like, oh, I'm going to just basically like colonize this industry. and make everything that could have been cool about it horrible. Yeah. So anyways, not as cool as it seems at first, which you probably could tell because it was being done by Donald Trump. I mean, weed is not cool.
Starting point is 01:05:45 If anything, we'll remind you that. It's 420. 420 makes me embarrassed to be a stoner because it's like, come on, guys. Surely we can do better. Is it like, I actually don't pay that much. attention to 420? Like, is it, uh,
Starting point is 01:06:05 is it like when April Fool's Day became a big thing? And like, the Ford Auto company was doing pranks. Yeah. It's just like the culture of weed is so lame. Yeah. And it is so,
Starting point is 01:06:18 so far divorced from counterculture at this point. It is like, you know, libertarians and Alex Jones smoke weed too now. Oh, no. So it is like, it's just hard to be like, yeah,
Starting point is 01:06:31 man, we stand weed. It's like, no, you don't want to stand weed unless you're like 16. Then it's fine.
Starting point is 01:06:38 Right. I mean, yeah, you got to find yourself. If you're 16, you just. If you're 16, and you just,
Starting point is 01:06:46 like, a century by being so fucking awful. And like, that he's like bringing Trump along. Well, it's like you're supposed to do those drugs and be like,
Starting point is 01:06:57 let's end war, man. Yeah. Like, hey, what if we, facial recognition. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:10:51 N is for nuts in my mouth. Fuck, yes. Greatest poem ever written. I think about it every day. I mean, he teases the ending, but it's like, it's like a good movie. It's like not what I was expecting, but it's the only way that it could have ended in many ways. And the foreshadowing was heavy. It's a lot.

And I said, no, I have Daily Zike guys to do. Oh, no. There's a number of reasons why I couldn't be there, unfortunately, but I didn't want to honor him in a sort of way by recommending a song he would
Starting point is 01:13:07 probably like. He's a big fan of 60 spy movies and funky music. And this is a track called The Thief and Marrakesh by Arc de Soleil. And although it was made in 2019, it sounds like a classic Herbie Hancock-inspired jam and like a black exploitation-style film score with some fun drum fills for the breaks and a funky melody. I'm pretty sure my grandfather would approve. So rest and peace, Grandpa Tom. I love you. And again, that track is called The Thief and Maricatch by Arc Day Soleil, and you can find that in the footnotes. Footnotes. R-I-P Grandpa. Shout Grandpa Tom. Thank you, Justin.
