Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a HeadGum Original. losing the ad revenue on the youtube video it's fine right away and this is my it's bad bitch o'clock it's 3 30 on a wednesday um we've got will khan over on the show making his head gum podcast debut we were talking about before we started recording sorry just one second um i feel like i need to make this show one of those things where it's like the guests don't talk until i introduce them you know what i mean don't say don't respond that's what i was just saying is like let's give it some breathing room where it's just me for a right right yeah totally Will
Starting point is 00:01:11 we've been off for a week the last time I was on camera on microphone I got forced to host a 24 hour live stream without knowing about it beforehand and against my will. It's hailing outside. Holy shit. But you know what? I got paid.
Starting point is 00:01:34 I got a raise. How am I feeling? Yeah. How are you feeling post that? You did get paid. Potentially the worst weekend it could have happened. I was told that you guys reached out to my friends. They said, maybe don't do it that weekend because his parents are in town.
Starting point is 00:01:51 And what they said, you guys said was, oh, that's all right. We already booked people. So you didn't actually ask anybody. You planned it, then panicked and thought, maybe we should check to see if he has anything going on in his life. And then they were like, he does have something happening and then anya was like let's just do it anyways no that's not exactly how it went down it was pushed right it was originally it was pushed but that was because of not jake i think yeah that was because of Jake, who we should say was only in it for 50 minutes. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:25 He was seriously rescuing a cat. He was? What does that mean? I heard. What does that mean? I'm surprised I didn't hear about that. Yeah, we should ask when he gets back, but then Amir also had family in town, but what happened was But then Amir also had family in town.
Starting point is 00:02:46 But what happened was we asked... Amir had family in town. His family lives in Encino. I know. He could see them any time. So that was fucked up that neither of them came back for the end. That pissed me off genuinely. I'm sure that there were other people besides his parents, right?
Starting point is 00:03:07 But anyway, yeah, I mean, it would have been nice if they were available to come back. They'll be back here on this show and you can really roast them for that. Yeah, it would have been obviously, you know, that all that aside, it was a hit. We raised $10,000 for charity, which is huge. And I'd love to do it again. I'd just like to know that it's happening. Yeah. Do you think you would have raised as much money if it wasn't a surprise?
Starting point is 00:03:35 I don't think so. Oh, really? People on the Doughboys Reddit said otherwise. They said that if we had marketed it better, we could have raised more money, but we couldn't market it well because we had to keep it a surprise. But then some people came to our defense.
Starting point is 00:03:55 So, you know, classic parasocial Reddit discussions. We love to see them. People were going off on the Jake and Am reddit a little bit too hard in my defense everything was fine i just wish it was a different weekend uh i got paid handsomely i got a raise uh got a massage that part was weird and feels illegal because it wasn't you guys said it was gonna be a gift card case Casey reached out. Apparently, it's just going to be by his hand.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Casey? No, but could you imagine? I need to do something nice for Casey, though, because he's the one. Actually, you guys should do something nice for Casey. Not me. Why should I come out of my pocket? He's had like three days off. That's true.
Starting point is 00:04:44 That's true. That's good. I thought it was awesome. I it was a hit i just wish i'd known about it and was on a different weekend even if i hadn't known about it but if it was on any other weekend i it would have been stress-free for me that's definitely fair it would have i would have loved to have it be on any other weekend also i am glad it it's not on my, it wasn't on my birthday, which some people said it was going to be on my birthday, which that would have been fucked. I would have left.
Starting point is 00:05:09 I would have left. You should have. Yeah. It was a hit though. I think. It was a hit. I mean. Sorry,
Starting point is 00:05:17 Will, one second. Smash. Sorry, one second for me. Yeah. Unfortunately, one second for me yeah um unfortunately uh some technical difficulties so we actually don't have it youtube didn't archive it we have parts of it that we saved ourselves during the time, but we've been emailing back and forth with YouTube,
Starting point is 00:05:53 like, did you archive half of it? Are there any parts around the parts that we saved that you have available? And they're not being helpful. Do we have the HeadGum podcast episode? Not in video. I was recording audio on our end. I assume Anya was maybe as well.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Yeah, she did. That is tragic. And I think we should release it as an audio episode. We should. That being said, the best part of it is that I had a baby on my lap. Yeah. At least there's photos of that.
Starting point is 00:06:38 We could do a little photo montage. Let's do that. I'll edit that together. I just that was a good episode I thought and I don't want to not release it and a lot of people didn't hear it. Yeah. That's true. Micah how the heck are you?
Starting point is 00:07:00 Great. Doing good. Life is good. Life is good. Feel free to elaborate. Yes. Extrapolate. Expand. I haven't been drinking for like the last month and everything in my life has improved.
Starting point is 00:07:19 When? Really? When has it improved or when did I start? Interpret that question as you must well i said i haven't been drinking for a month so i don't know then when okay so you it's been a month yeah when did things start to improve i think after like a week okay and that's you being honest? Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. That's cool. I,
Starting point is 00:07:47 yeah. I just, I don't drink that often. So I wish that I, sorry, I, I've never done this, but loser for that.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Yeah. When Micah does it, it's cool. You've definitely done it. Right. Pretty sure. But when I, yeah, when I go for long spells of not having a beverage,
Starting point is 00:08:08 I don't feel any different, which sucks. I feel like I should be at my peak. Yeah, but you drink responsibly, so you just have that already. So you're kind of just hitting the baseline. Well, what are your vices? Alcohol? Women? Not much.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Okay. Did you say lunch? Yeah. Lunch is a vice? I feel like that's a meal you have to eat every day. You don't have to. If you have breakfast and dinner, that's pretty much okay. But on a good day, I'll have a little lunch.
Starting point is 00:08:44 I'll indulge in a sandwich. Where has Will been all my life? That's an instant out of context HeadGum podcast quote. Hiding away. Trying to stay as far away as possible. But you dragged me in. Where do you live? You are in an attic right now.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Let's get that. Yeah, because you look like you live in like Connecticut or something. That'd be kind of nice. No, Chicago. Okay. Oh. Chicago. Damn. Chicago. I'm in my, what they call, the three season room.
Starting point is 00:09:13 And I'm using it all four. It'd be winter, that is. Nice. That's cool. Thanks. I actually saw a bunch of head gum people at the head gum live in chicago it was the weekend i graduated from college it was graduation we don't live in chicago wow yeah yeah but you had fun right yeah i mean i didn't go to any of the shows oh but the graduation was actually the ceremony was in the hotel that all the people stayed at so i like that's bizarre
Starting point is 00:09:54 i believe i saw the rosenbergs while i was in full cap and gown. And being a Twinnovation fan, I had to say, what's up? Yeah, but... Yeah. I kind of have a vendetta against cap and gowns because it hides my thigh gap and frowns. So people don't know that I'm pissed and sort of not eating enough.
Starting point is 00:10:19 It sounds like you're more against the gown. Like the cap's not really... It's not gonna... The cap hides my frown. It comes down too low. Oh, sorry. Yeah. Yeah. On to the week. I'm nominating Daniel Radcliffe.
Starting point is 00:10:42 He's a Brit. And then it could be James Wand. Who's James Wand? Daniel Radcliffe. Yeah. As James Bond. Yeah. Because of the spells.
Starting point is 00:10:59 What do you mean? Yeah. Like Harry Potter. Libguardian Liviosa. Those are really good. Marika, who do you got? My Bond is going to be Ariana DeBose. Who the hell is that?
Starting point is 00:11:16 Because Angela Bassett did the thing. And Viola Davis is my woman king. Micah, what's wrong? Did you mute me intentionally uh who's your bond of the week let's hear it um theo james yeah he's been lobbed up a while what about i think you mean from divergent yeah somebody already mentioned it i think jake mentioned him and amir mentioned him if jake mentioned him it's because i said it to jake he took that and i believe it and stole it
Starting point is 00:11:53 from me um i'll take that yeah is he a brit he is yeah can i can i have a new pick yeah i think it should be like a complete unknown. That's free. Like who? Someone we don't know yet. A nobody. I think it should be a complete unknown. Like who?
Starting point is 00:12:24 Disappear in trouble. I don't know. Who's unknown. Like who? Disappear in general. I don't know. Who's like a British person? What about Grace Harper? She'd be great. She'd be Grace. Will, who do you got? Do you know about the segment?
Starting point is 00:12:37 Basically every week until the next James Bond is cast, we're going to lob up our pick for 007. Yeah, I did a little research. Alex Murdaugh, murderer he's a murderer oh my gosh license to kill there he goes all right that's that dumb ass segment Barbara Broccoli get on your shit so you can stop doing this pick somebody It's obviously Rene Jean Page or whatever his name is. Alright. A recent Slate op-ed
Starting point is 00:13:09 title read, my ex wants us to vacation like one big happy family. No thanks. Would you guys for real, would you guys vacation with an ex? Where are we going?
Starting point is 00:13:26 Majorca? Yeah. I think it would depend why we broke up. Okay. Let's say irreconcilable differences. Is it just you and the ex, or are there other people and exes there? Well, this article was talking about ex-wives, ex-husbands, ex-spouses, where there's kids involved. Obviously, none of us have kids, right?
Starting point is 00:13:51 So it'd be in our lives, would you vacation with an ex? And you can set up, you know, the scenario yourself. In my head, it would be like a group trip where, you know, you might have to like Sam Shackle up with the ex though in a room what's funny about that Will Sam Shackle co-worker of ours do people who listen to this podcast
Starting point is 00:14:19 like know that I think honestly yes because though she has been on one time you do use that a lot. Yeah, I don't know. Every time I've broken up with someone it's felt like the shackles have come off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Is there a double room? Yeah, there's two beds. There's two beds. I feel fine with it. Yeah, but that's because you have had healthy relationships that have ended mutually. Micah, what do you got? I don't think I'd with it. Yeah, but that's because you have had healthy relationships that have ended mutually. Micah, what do you got?
Starting point is 00:14:48 I don't think I'd do it. Yeah. America? Yeah, sure. Who cares? It's easy to avoid people on a vacation. Yeah, but what if it's like 8 people What if it's 8 people?
Starting point is 00:15:08 Arguably easier Really? Okay then let's change it What if it's truly just the two of you But you guys have like the trip of a lifetime planned That's kind of fun That's like a fun little movie fanfic scenario right yeah x pray love i don't know yeah that's good we should write this right no um what if okay so
Starting point is 00:15:39 obviously we would all do it with the x of ours that's like we're most amicable with Obviously, we would all do it with the ex of ours that we're most amiable with. What about your least favorite ex? Will. You really think I got a roster? Like a top to bottom list over here? It doesn't have to be long-term relationships. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:01 I would say I would do it with any of my exes. As long as ground rules were established up front. Okay, let's say there are no ground rules no rules up front right yeah so okay it's least favorite ex opportunities us trip of a lifetime no rules no rules yeah i think i'm still in trip of a lifetime yeah you gotta trip of a lifetime is it paid for or am also, am I paying for them? You're paying for them? Why is it a terrible deal? No, this is all expense paid.
Starting point is 00:16:36 I'm there. Yeah, you gotta. Yeah. But then it's like, are you gonna? Yeah. Are you gonna? Yeah. Let's just move on. Are we going to kiss? Is that what you're going to ask?
Starting point is 00:16:46 I'm just thinking, like, during the lifetime, you might want to have, like, an Italian fling, you know? But you can't. It's kind of awkward because, you know... Go to their room. That's true. That's true. And, you know, you're probably in a place where, like, you don't care what your ex does and vice versa. Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Right. Yeah. I'm starting to get on board with the whole idea because I was going to say no chance. Ed Sheeran announced his new album, Dash. The album's called Dash? I think it's called Minus, actually, because the pull quote is, It's opening the trap door into my soul, Sheeran said, of the last installment in his decade-long mathematical album era.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Oh. Because he had the division sign. Right. Yeah. So this is, oh, you know what? No, this is called Subtract. That's a good name. Not really.
Starting point is 00:17:42 I keep getting trap door to his soul like he's a theater like well his life has mostly taken place on a stage you know i mean tracks yeah that's some tracks i keep getting um i keep getting tiktoks of people line dancing to the song shiver by ed sheeran um which one is that because all of his songs kind of make me shiver uh the chorus i don't know the lyrics it's like i don't know makes you want to line dance he's somebody who I think doesn't have the look or the sound or the talent or the, yeah, like all he has is the success that he somehow got.
Starting point is 00:18:32 And so now people like him because he's had the success. But before he had the success, I don't know how he went from zero to hero because he doesn't have any of the traits of one. Does that make sense? You don't think he has talent? I think he looks different from what you'd expect him to look like with his voice he doesn't look like a star right that's true yes you're kind of shallow jeff this is no he looks like a frog and you know he's got a little
Starting point is 00:18:58 too much time at the guinness factory was he pre or post One Direction could that have influenced his ascension I think during yeah I think it was a Brit wave we do have to move on I'm sorry Selena Gomez only smiles in the building despite Mean Girls drama have you guys heard about
Starting point is 00:19:23 this yeah so the internet... Oh, you have? Yeah, we can move on. I haven't. And I'd like to know. The internet thinks Selena Gomez has been in a Mean Girls tiff with Hailey Bieber and Kylie Jenner, causing her to temporarily shut down not only her social media,
Starting point is 00:19:39 but also her, you know, her whole deal. But it doesn't seem to have affected her mood in real life because she was seen posing with fans off the set of the Hulu show she's on, Only Murdaugh's in the Building. TMZ says she looks pretty radiant. I'm blessed. This is a TMZ article?
Starting point is 00:20:04 What happened was Selenaena gomez posted a tiktok being like uh like i accidentally got my eyebrows threaded and her she looked pretty good and so then hayley bieber and kylie jenner both posted like the next day being like this was an act oh you really poked yourself huh Oh! You really poked yourself, huh? Yeah, shit. We gotta take a break. Shit ass. Why are you keeping the one that you poked open?

Yeah. Is this, are we using the Zoom audio for the recording? He usually just uses it. We usually send separate tracks, but we can use the Zoom audio if necessary. And can I use a microphone?
Starting point is 00:22:45 Can I record into a microphone on a we're back um we still have a lot to get to uh all right you know what here we go holy shit it's a segment it's been a couple weeks since we've had a proper segment to get to. Welcome to Serena or Venus Williams edition. So I'm going to read out a couple quotes, and you guys are going to attribute it to either Serena or Venus Williams. You ready? We haven't done this before.
Starting point is 00:23:42 We have not. Did we do Serena or something else? Maybe, but probably not, I think. Because a lot of these Serena quotes were pretty new to me, at least. All right, here we go. I spent my whole life playing sports and training and pushing myself to the limits. I'm going to go Serena. I'm going to go Serena. I'm going to go Venus. Venus.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Marika was correct. Micah was incorrect. That was going to be Venus Williams saying that. Venus Williams was correct. I don't like to lose at anything, yet I've grown most not from victories, but from setbacks. Serena. That's correct.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Life is challenging, but I'm always up for a challenge. Is that Venus Williams or Serena? Okay. That was correct. That was Venus. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does. Serena. Correct!
Starting point is 00:24:49 You guys are good at this. Victory is very, very sweet. It tastes better than any dessert you've ever had. Venus. Actually, that's incorrect. Yeah, I was going to say Serena. That's Serena.
Starting point is 00:25:03 And you know because Serena is slightly better. I've developed a karaoke habit. I've become a crooner. Serena. Venus. That was Serena. No one likes getting their nails done more than I do. Venus.
Starting point is 00:25:30 That was Serena, if you can believe it. Interior design is a business of trust. That's got to be Serena. Serena. Serena. That's gotta be Serena. Serena. Venus has more time on her hands.
Starting point is 00:25:52 She's the oldest sister. Is she really? What's that? Is Venus the oldest? I don't care. None of this fucking matters. I'm just trying to make money. Serena I had skate wing in London I had mine grilled with lemon and herbs and it was the perfect seasoning for that fish fish. Venus. Correct.
Starting point is 00:26:28 In what context did she say that? I don't know. These are all good inspirational sports quotes. To this day, I don't love my arms. Venus. That was Serena. Serena has great arms.
Starting point is 00:26:50 That was Venus or Serena Williams edition. Can you guys guess the 18 best bakeries in Paris? I can guess one of them. All right. La Grazon. La Grazon. Is that one of them? Say it one more time.
Starting point is 00:27:18 La Grazon. La Grazon. With a G? No. So with what? G? Grazon. With a G? No. So with what? G? Grazon. It's not on this list, but I'll still give it to you
Starting point is 00:27:34 because you seem to know what you're talking about. Grazon. Mama? Mama? That's a bakery in Greenpoint So no Christ That's absolutely correct Micah probably
Starting point is 00:27:56 You're not looking at the list What did you say La maison What What What did he say Yeah la maison. What? What? No, he didn't say that. What did he say? Bon thème patisserie?
Starting point is 00:28:08 Le patisserie. Yeah, the bon thème. The patisserie. Oui, that's what he, that's what he, nobody's saying he meant that one.
Starting point is 00:28:14 So that's absolutely correct for Micah. Well, I haven't heard much out of you since we started talking about Paris. I don't know if you're against gay Paris, but let's, let's hear it. What about something like du Paris? Like, le, but let's hear it. What about something like
Starting point is 00:28:26 du Paris? Like le poisson du Paris? The fish of Paris? Okay, you live in Chicago, right? So that would be like saying, oh, the best hot dog place in Chicago is of Chicago. So that's not anything. Or some Chicago, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:28:42 Sure. Some, I don't... Yeah. Do we seriously not know any more of these you guys are uncultured swine let's just fuck you alone no now you're on the exact same list but I'll give it to you alright here we go
Starting point is 00:29:01 I just said the cake I said here we go. I just said the cake. I said here we go. Full steam fucking ahead. Welcome to a segment I like to call Chat Jeff PT. So I don't think AI is worth a damn, to be honest with you. You know, I feel like we're already using it to what we should use it to, and anything further is probably bad for not only humanity, but our sanity as humans.
Starting point is 00:29:39 And those two things are different. What are you guys' thoughts on AI? You think we should continue until it kills us yes what really do you think we could stop it do you think there's any way to stop it yes just shut it all off unplug the computer i think what we have right now won't kill us and so that's a good place to stop because it's still helping us but that's about all we need i just don't think they're gonna stop i think you have to give them a good reason who's they scientists or chat fbt fbt yeah so chat fbt is my way and we might continue checking
Starting point is 00:30:21 in as chat gPT evolves. But let's do this, right? So this is a segment called ChatGPT where you guys are going to give me and ChatGPT a prompt. I'm going to type it into ChatGPT, and then it's going to do its thing, and I'm going to do my thing. Then I'm going to read what it said, and I'm going to recite what I think. And you guys are going to tell me which one you like better. Okay. Easy. Ready? What kind of prompt?
Starting point is 00:30:52 It could be anything. It could be like write a poem about how you know I don't know. Write a poem about how. So far so good. Write a poem about soju or something I don't know yeah write the chorus of a blues song about Winnie the Pooh
Starting point is 00:31:15 write the chorus to a blues song about Winnie the Pooh yes you'd hope you are that's open to interpretation sorry to give a hint to chat jeff bt all right write the chorus to a blues song about jeff or about winning the poo so i'm gonna do mine first just so i'm not inspired even partially by what's in front of me right um I'm bad to the shirt I only wear shirts
Starting point is 00:31:49 All ass out Don't need to wear shorts So that's mine Here's ChatGPT Oh Winnie the pooh you're a bluesy kind of bear with your honey pot and your happy-go-lucky air you may not have a dollar but you don't seem to care oh winnie the pooh you're a bluesy kind of bear i kind of like you may not have a dollar, but you don't seem to care. But I also like no shorts. Yours was good, Jeff.
Starting point is 00:32:34 I like yours better. Humanity wins round one. Holy shit. All right, let's get one from Will. What do you want to prompt both of us to do? Can I get a grocery list to make a stir-fry dinner? Okay. Can I get a grocery list to make a stir-fry dinner?
Starting point is 00:33:04 All right. All right. All right. So what you're going to want is white rice, soy sauce, organic chicken breast. Let's be healthy. It's a weeknight meal, I'm thinking. Broccoli florets, fresh garlic, garlic powder because you have to use both. And let's get a little bit of sesame oil in there and some yellow onions. We're going to make a simple, healthy stir fry here.
Starting point is 00:33:43 So that's the grocery list. And I don't need to tell you how we're going to make it. That healthy stir fry here. That's the grocery list. I don't need to tell you how we're going to make it. That feels like you get what the thing is. This says, one onion, two cloves of garlic, one red bell pepper, one yellow bell pepper, one cup snow peas, one cup sliced mushrooms, two carrots, broccoli crown, one pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, or one pound peeled and deveined shrimp one tablespoon soy sauce two tablespoons vegetable oil one tablespoon corn starch half a tablespoon of salt half a one quarter teaspoon pepper one quarter teaspoon red pepper flakes and two cups
Starting point is 00:34:20 of cooked rice it also has a. It is going back and forth between shopping lists and recipes. Because you can't buy a tablespoon of any of those. Exactly. Yeah, you asked for a grocery list, and one of these, I didn't even break these up into categories. Their categories are produce, which is a grocery list, protein, which is a grocery list, and then
Starting point is 00:34:39 staples, which is measurements of stuff you already probably have at home. That's not a grocery list, I would say. That is a recipe. Yeah, but it's helpful. And I liked the option of I could go shrimp. That's where I started to be like, shit, I might have gotten that option. They added the cornstarch, which is crucial for a thicker sauce. That's true.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Humanity loses. Yeah. You can't just decide that. You have to wait for the vote but that's fine god damn it all right let's do uh how much time do we have let's do a couple more uh micah what you got um write me a list of five activities to do in Los Angeles. I might have a leg up on chat GPT here. Here we go. Chat GPT,
Starting point is 00:35:28 uh, five activities to do in Los Angeles. I'm going to say the wisdom tree hike. Uh, it's in the Hollywood Hills. Uh, it's a medium strenuous hike, uh,
Starting point is 00:35:37 but not too long. So you got a nice workout in, in 30 minutes and you're right up against this cool tree. That's kind of famous called the wisdom tree. And you can see downtown Los Angeles and all the way to the ocean uh i'm gonna say you gotta go to salazar that's my favorite restaurant in los angeles outdoor tacos uh made on a mesquite grill uh it can accommodate any dietary restriction including gluten-free including vegan uh but also you can get all the meat your heart desires and you can have as much flour as you can stomach
Starting point is 00:36:04 uh i'm gonna say let's go to the highland park ball vegan, but also you can get all the meat your heart desires and you can have as much flour as you can stomach. I'm going to say let's go to the Highland Park Bowl. Let's go to the Highland Park Bowl, one of the oldest bowling alleys in the United States, and also on your way you're going to be on the oldest freeway ever, which I think is kind of interesting. It's cool because you can get,
Starting point is 00:36:25 it's like a bar that also has these cool bowling lanes. What else are we going to want? Let's go with Staircase Beach in Malibu. It's the best surfing Southern California has to offer. It also is just a dog beach and a nice beach to go to that other people aren't going to be at. You walk down a natural cliffside staircase. That's not manmade. As far as I know. Uh, it's just, you walk down these little things that like stroll you down
Starting point is 00:36:50 to the beach. Then you're, uh, there's privacy cause there's this bluff it's on the North end of Malibu. So there's just not that many people. And it is the best surfing, the best place to learn how to surf. And if, even if you're good at surfing, it's just really fun, thick rolling waves. How many is that for? That's four. Let's do one more. Uh, I'm going to say, what's my favorite bar? You got to go to Tiki tea. Um, the, one of the oldest bars in Los Angeles, it's this tiny Tiki bar. You got to get there around 5 PM if you want to be able to have a table. Um, but it's just, you know, classic tiki drinks in a classic LA setting. All right, here we go. Here's chat GPT.
Starting point is 00:37:27 They're not going to fucking know. They're going to say the Hollywood sign, right? Oh, here we go. This sucks already. Uh, they're saying number one, visit the Griffith observatory. Nice. If you like crowds, hot, exposed things without tree cover and a worst view than the wisdom tree hike.
Starting point is 00:37:41 Yeah. Why don't you go to the Griffith observatory? Walk along the Venice beach board hike? Yeah, why don't you go to the Griffith Observatory? Walk along the Venice Beach Boardwalk? Yeah, sure. If you want to go to a more crowded, touristy, polluted version of Staircase Beach without any height or differential or privacy or dogs, mind you, yeah, go to the Venice Beach Boardwalk. Take a tour of the Getty Center.
Starting point is 00:38:00 I'll give them that. That's cool. That's a good art museum. Visit LACMA. I'll give them that. But you have two museums good art museum visit lakma i'll give them that but you have two museums on there so that might be not a varied enough list and then they're saying go to universal studios hollywood i don't think so uh i actually think universal studios is more fun to go to as a local not as someone you're visiting who's visiting la sorry i didn't mean
Starting point is 00:38:19 editorialized what's that what does that mean i think it's fun and novel to go to Universal Studios CityWalk if you live here. But if you're in LA visiting, like, there's so many. It's not worth it. For Mario? What's that? If I'm visiting, I shouldn't see Mario? All right. Will doesn't get a vote this round.
Starting point is 00:38:39 I think Jeff, Jeff, GBT. Jeff, GBT. Humanity wins again! All right, let's do one more. I think Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff,
Starting point is 00:38:45 Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff,
Starting point is 00:38:45 Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff,
Starting point is 00:38:53 Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff,

Starting point is 00:39:02 Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, accomplish before you're 30? How many things? Four.
Starting point is 00:39:13 All right. Fall in love. Find the perfect pair of jeans. Try a physically challenging activity that you've wanted to try and learn an instrument. Okay. challenging activity that you've wanted to try and learn an instrument. Chat GPT says establish a savings plan. Setting up a savings plan before you turn 30 can help you achieve your financial goals. Travel to a new place. Traveling can broaden your horizons, expose you to new cultures and
Starting point is 00:39:59 experience. Pursue a personal passion or hobby, whether it's painting, writing, photography, or a sport. Pursuing a personal passion or hobby. Whether it's painting, writing, photography, or a sport, pursuing a personal passion or hobby can provide a sense of fulfillment. Establish a healthy lifestyle. Establishing healthy habits before you turn 30 can set you up for a lifetime of good health. I think I gotta give it to the AI for that one. It's a tough choice.
Starting point is 00:40:21 The jeans one was actually good. The jeans was good. The jeans was good. jeans was good one was so vague yeah like that's not really an answer yeah i'm kind of like torn because i kind of i would go with neither but i think like if i could have all of those things on either list before turning 30 the chat GBT one would be more practical you know but I think if I was like getting a card
Starting point is 00:40:54 from a friend that was like do all these things before you're 30 it would be funnier to read what you suggested funnier or awesome funnier for sure Will you're the tiebreaker so far we have neither Funnier or awesome? Funnier for sure. Will, you're the tiebreaker. So far we have neither and one for chat GPT, I think.
Starting point is 00:41:13 I think I'm going to keep it a tie. I vote Jeff. I think falling in love is too good. Come on. Everybody, everybody, let's get into it humanity ties AI I've never even heard of that let's get it started let's get it started

Starting point is 00:43:32 I definitely would I like to imagine your audition tape for the circle has a lot of verbal typos like that it would be fun to watch that would be really fun if you were on the circle i think you'd do a good job thank you would you go yeah i was gonna say would you catfish or not that's a great question i would be on a reveal yeah i would play it by ear you don't want to get into it
Starting point is 00:43:57 i think you're so sincere that you should just go totally honest up front and people might think that you're trying to catch those people do really well and i really hate watching them so it's a divide i but if people think you're trying to catfish they might try to kick you out so i feel like you gotta go you can't you can't be your full self i forgot what the objective of that show was Micah what do you got we gotta get the hell out of here oh yeah subscribe to my mom's substack substack.lauraherwitz.com or it might be lauraherwitz.substack.com
