So we did a video a few years ago about AI, and didn't I say super intelligence was coming by 28, I think? And now it seems like that's adding up. And I don't know what to do. I literally, what do we do? Literally, what do we do? Hey, guys, we have a pretty crazy conspiracy update today that might result in some really, really bad things. Damn. That sucks.

But before we get to that, it's almost spooky season, y'all. And I am ready. Nothing spookier than the end of existence. Well, in honor of spooky season coming up. Ooh, a treat. Spencer has later in the show, Spencer's Spooky Storytime. Oh. We're going to get spooky.

Is it a personal story? No, no. It's a spooky investigation. It's a haunted place. Ooh. Also in huge news Spooky season is coming soon And you know what's gonna happen

I think two days before Halloween Spooky Eve Eve. Our spooky live show That's fine Okay we have some big announcements About the live shows I haven't really said Who the special guests are gonna be

At every show because honestly We haven't fully planned it yet We don't even know Because it's like I don't know I'm trying to figure out like fun guests So we have some actors coming Some squad members from the pilot.

From the pilot. Yeah, not just random. Just random. Yeah. So, big announcement at the Houston show on October 29th. We're joined by Chrissy. I'm so excited. I literally already booked everything.

Chris came yesterday. I booked my hotel and my flights already. We told you yesterday. Which is so exciting because at that show, we have Lily, star of the pilot, Derek, star of the pilot. Ryland, co-star of the pilot. Spencer? Yes.

are involved. No, you're in it. Yeah, I know. That's what I meant. And I would say Chrissy scene stealer of the pilot. Oh, stop. Your scene gets the biggest laughs every time we've shown it. No way.

Yes, and you're so good. Listen, it was the dog. That dog was the cutest. And I know what you're thinking, okay, well, where's Jared and Sandy going to be? They're going to be at the LA show. Which, by the way, Jared's scene stealer, Sandy scene stealer. So this is all scene stealers. It's huge.

It's a big deal. The LA show, I'm so nice. I'm so nervous about because that's like family. And then also all the actors because they all live here. And like the crew of the show who have not yet seen the show. Nobody's seen it yet. Like, and also the theater is crazy. Like, yeah, it's wild.

It's like the most beautiful theater I've ever seen. They have like the orchestra go there. Like it's like a. And then we're going to show that shit there. Yeah. So yeah, both of those are currently on sale. And then obviously Boston and Chicago. We're still figuring out special guests for those.

But yeah, thank you guys so much for all the love on the tour. we're so excited. I'm so excited and terrified in general. Yeah. Uh, because yeah, I'm realizing nobody's seen it yet. So that's fun. Hey, it's up you guys. Just want to let you know that we added more meat and great options to the Houston show and the LA show. If you already bought tickets, you can get it as an ad-on. And all of those tickets are at shane dozenlive.com. And yeah, we're going to be watching Canceled, the pilot that I wrote and directed. Then we're going to be doing like a mini live podcast and a Q&A with special guests. Yeah, I'm really excited and I cannot wait to watch the show with you guys. And yeah.

Okay, enjoy the next to show. Did you invite me to Texas because everything's bigger in Texas, including the boys? I think you're going to be in hog heaven, Chris. There's some big boys down in Houston. Okay, well, speaking of huge, whoa. This is a huge rabbit hole I fell down recently, which I don't even know if I want to do this one.

This is one of my favorite candies of all time. How real is this one? I'm not burning a bridge if it's not real. It is a government. What is it? Like Sour Patch Kid? Yeah. Okay.

Here's what I'm going to start this off by. I don't know what this is because Spencer, he told me, he's like, let's, I'll wait until it gets your reaction on the podcast. This is about nerds. Best candy bowl time. Yeah. Nerds, Gummy Clusters? Are you fucking kidding me?

Best new candy of this decade. So nerds, if you want to, if you want to spot through the show. Well, I don't know, maybe after I watch this. We'll play the video. And then I have a few, a few clarifies. things that make it seem a little less scary, but it is interesting. Our analysis found that if you eat more than 96 nerds over the course of a year, you are exceeding the allowable threshold of arsenic for a child.

If you eat more than six jolly ranchers, that is exceeding the allowable threshold of arsenic for consuming in a child over the course of a year. It's realistic to assume that children are eating more than 96 individual nerds. When you look at a box that you get in a movie theater, there's 8,000 nerds. So it's the consumption in aggregate that is very problematic and that has to be taken into account and that has to be disclosed to parents so that they can make better decisions. And again, I go back to the silver lining of all of this stuff and that is there are some candies that don't have it. And again, you can go to exposing food talk.

Why is it allowed? I heard a couple things. Number one, it said for a child. Yes. I'm a grown man. How many nerds can I have before I blow up? Because what is arsenic? It's like a poison. Why would there be arsenic and candy?

For what reason? And why is that not? Why is sweet crunch? Why did we ban Red Die 40 before arsenic? Or is red dye 40 that? And is it? You guys, I am not the scientist involved. Hold on.

Hold on. How many nerds are on a cluster? That's probably too much. Doctor how many nerds are in one cluster? Okay. I'll say a test for arsenic. Like if we eat a box of nerd, wait, we test ourselves for. and then we eat a box of nerds and then we test our side.

Can you test? Maybe. I don't know. I did look and arsenic is not a forever chemical so it's not like lead because lead stays in, say yeah, like lead you can process, you can't process it stays in your body forever. So the more you consume like the worst it gets for you. Arsenic I think is more of like it is bad for you but it doesn't linger. I will also say tabalize it pretty quick. Yeah, this study I will say it was done by a private company that didn't disclose their methodology. Joyride.

Sorry. That's a niche joke. Shout out Joyride. Love your clusters. Love your clusters. So that's all I'm going to say. But I just thought it was, it felt like. It's also not a niche joke.

It's the number one candy of Target. What is nerds? Joyride. You don't know what Joyride? No, I had some of their knockoff Swedish fishes. Bro. That's what they all say. Bro really didn't know about Joyride.

They all say. Bro. Or they say, F! I'm learning about Gen Zed. Oh, I didn't know what the hell you were talking about. The fuck one gives me every time.

matter what it is. The fuck. Whatever it is, it's like it makes anything funny. They are funny. Like, if you're just gonna clip of me eating a nerd,

because the thing about nerd clusters, is there fucking weapons to people with sensitive teeth or gaps? Because it has everything, it gets stuck in your teeth, the little nerd,

fucking crevice in the gaps. And then you got some yummy. It's like sour. Like eating one of that crack, fuck! And then you're like, bruh, bruh, arson,

bruh, bruh. They also did throw in their jelly ranchers were also included, but I refuse. I'm over jolly ranchers. Yeah. Well, they're too hard. It's like a sucker. You suck on it. You don't chew it.

No, I don't suck. I chew. I need it done. I'm done. I don't have time to sit around and suck all day fucking on a jolly rancher. What am I? They're old people candy. They're like Werthers.

Yeah, I remember I associated it with school because it would be like, it's a good if you're in class, you can just suck away. The green one? Nice. Or the watermelon? Oh, watermelon and greener. Ooh, it is good though when you melt them down and cover it. Also, the Jolly Rancher Gummies are so good. I don't know if I've ever have those.

Well, they're very good. Are we going to eat nerds? Is that part of it? No, I would guess. I have the candy corn to my office because we get that. You don't remember that? You're going to pull it out? Oh, they're so good.

Oh. Don't. No, don't. I'm tracking my calories in my macros today. Zero. Do you also said, speaking of nerds having poison? There's also something in the biscuits. Oh, yeah, this is some...

Well, you'll see what kind of... Don't say Hawaiian, King Hawaiians. Is that it? Never. They, King Hawaiian, wouldn't stoop to this level. Thank you. Does they make pretzel bites now? Oh, my God. Delicious.

Yeah, this is a... The hell is that? What is that dog treats? Would you eat biscuits made from plastic waste? No. Researchers are developing a way to turn plastic bottles into protein-rich 3D-printed snacks. We are providing a solution for plastic waste accumulation in the environment. Secondly, we are providing an alternative food sauce to answer the food scarcity issues currently the world is facing.

They use engineered yeast to break down P.E.T, the plastic found in many water bottles. We're eating trash now? This is then converted in. Why does it look good? It doesn't look good? It looks like Big Mac sauce. It's a cookie. It's a cookie.

But how do they even regulate the taste if it's different trash every time? Let me pause it. This woman looks so sweet. I'm not making fun of... Did she make the plastic biscuits? Did you see the end when they asked her to eat it and she looked scared to eat it? She's like, ha, what? I'm not eating trash.

This is for you guys. She looks really sweet. So I'm not coming for her. And she did a really good job printing out that biscuit. Wait, how could that possibly be okay to eat? That's sort of my main. I feel like that's sort of a big question. And it stuck out to me because it also felt a little bit like all the food stuff we've talked

about of like, oh, you know, produce is bad. but like it's normalizing like, well, we're recycling this stuff. It's like good for the planet. It's short in the food thing. There's no way that's real. It's not,

it's literally in the news. I just, I'm not to look more into that. I'm very confused. Don't eat blueberries. Are they just distilling one molecule from the plastic that's being used? I mean, come on.

This is probably being put on by nerds. Like, oh, you think we're bad? We have arsenic? You're eating plastic. In the end of the article. Yet, important question. remain about contaminants, long-term food safety, regulatory approval, energy requirements. It's like, we still have questions about every element of this thing.

And the irony that the employees making those have to wash their hands after they use the bathroom. It's like, what do we doing, dude? Well, speaking of feeding people trash. Good segue. Good segue. Guess what our favorite stores started doing now. This is, okay, when I talk about people being like, fuck at the world's ending, I feel

like this is in the same category once again Target Walmart don't come for me love you guys shop there constantly for my joyride bro does it say that on the packaging or you're just doing that no no we did go to Target last week you're right no every like every like the gen z boys that promote joy ride all their videos have those sound things oh okay okay okay so it's like I love joy ride bruh I kept thinking it was like did I just not see that written on the jiride packaging or something um yes so there's some interesting fun things going on with our shopping carts. Here we go.

Today's real life black mirror episode, Target, is now tracking you through their shopping baskets. A Target employee posted a video to TikTok filming a small black device clip to a store hand basket showing the ID number printed on it. That device is a Bluetooth tracker that a company Acuity sells to retailers. Acuity's own announcement says the tags attached to shopping carts to track customers' movements. So that stores can look at customer shopping behavior and monitor employee activity. Br- Target puts Acuity lights with Bluetooth chips inside them in nearly half of its 1800 stores.

Acuity says the system works without a shop or downloading an app or even agreeing to anything. These tags broadcast to the ceiling and Target has not publicly commented on any of this. And Target's own privacy policy counts your location inside the store's information that it collects, along with your app activity, website activity, the ads you get shown and your email. So the Target one, okay, they're tracking you through the stores, seeing like what items you linger on, maybe what items you chose not to buy because they were too expensive. They're capturing your data in an interesting way. This one is a little bit different.

Walmart said, let's one up. I want to ask you about a patent, an actual patent that the Walmart Corporation has. This is a patent for a shopping cart, and I think we have a graphic to this effect. This is a patent for a shopping card that uses sensors to track the speed of your cart, your heart rate, your body temperature, and then feeds it into a server for analysis. I emphasize this is not a joke. This is not, AI didn't invent this, sadly, but AI's going to use it. Walmart has this.

Why would Walmart want something like this? Companies him and ha and deny that they're using things like surveillance pricing in many settings. This doodle is, you know, pretty horrifying. But it's really just the first step. But he's smiling. Building out the ability to use, you know, cameras and cooler screens to take a look at what you're doing, to use your grocery cart to monitor your temperature. All that is feeding into consumer intelligence scores, agitation scores,

that better estimate how much they can convince you to fork over for every item in that shopping cart. I feel like Walmart's big play here too is, have you noticed a huge push for online shopping? Yeah. It's almost like an Amazon. Yeah, but now they're like, let's just freak people to fuck out about shopping here. So they just want to shop online now. But I'm also thinking a smart move and Target, holler at me, if you want to use me for this possibly,

I think I could be good at it, is what if they see Spencer? He's lingering. It's like nerd robes, you know, whatever the case may be. Arsenic, arsenic. And then they know he's like, dude, we're hitting a pressure point. He's getting close.

He's about to snatch some nerd rope. But then they're like, send him over, send him over. And then I go and I buy all of them except for like two. Because in psychological, you're like, oh, shit, this is a hot item. And then as soon as you leave with the two that you just bought, I just put him right back. But I'm on standby. That's an interesting idea.

To buy them. And now I'll be back. Oh, these are my first. favorite and I'll put them down in my cart that guy just bought 50 nerd roads Walmart did all that before getting Apple pay you can't even tap to pay a Walmart I don't know

every time every time I go there to get something someone tries to tap like ah we don't have taps like why not I wonder why they're holding out I don't know but this links so perfectly with the stuff we've already talked about with them like it's very clear there's a allegedly a plan remember because they're the first they all now they have all electronic price tags

Now that they're going to know, like, you're walking through a store, ooh, your heart goes up. Nerd ropes, nerds are like, no, no, I'll go by. But then it's like, ooh, maybe next time he comes down, price is a dollar cheaper. We get him to buy a nerds rope. It's like it just feels like we're really going that direction. And it's so annoying because the only reason I go to Walmart

is because they're the only store that has my little Debbie's ice creams. It's a conspiracy with Debbie. Debbie and Wally are in league with each other. We got an email from an anonymous Walmart worker. I'll just read the email. And it's a little cherry on top. They said, Hey, everyone, anonymous, please to keep my friend's identity safe.

I have a friend who works at Walmart, and she told me they changed their camera systems and they now use AI. They get notifications sent to their phones, alerting them if the camera sees a spill or an object on the floor or anything along those lines. I just thought it would be an interesting topic to discuss. And they sent an example of one of these notifications.

And so the workers now, the AI will scan the whole store and be like, something is on the floor and then they get a notification. Potential object near bakery. Respond to the area and evaluate the area to need for cleanup. So they're watching you every which way. I wonder if they're going to deploy like tranquilizer darts for shoplifters. We have a potential shoplifter. Do you see someone collapse in the clothing?

You send a drone over overhead. Honestly, the Walmart near here gets stolen from so often, they could use tranquilizers. We don't encourage that, though. No. Ooh, this is so fun. We're having a spooky adventure. Oh, and all the ads are extra spooky. Oh, you know, it's really spooky?

Expensive tickets. Oh, my God. Oh, my God! Well, luckily, Zeekeek is here to clear all the scariness out. That's right, today's episode is sponsored by Zique. If you don't already know, they are the number one rated ticketing app with over 70,000 events listed online, concerts, sports, and festivals. And so many other things.

Anything that needs a ticket, they got it, and for the best possible price. They rate all their tickets from 1 to 10. So when you go and you click on a show, if you see a little red dot, that means, this is way over price. See a little green dot. That means, this is good to go. And everybody's on tour right now. Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, BTS, Ariana Grande, Morgan Wallin, Zach Brian, Zara Larson, Cardi B.

Oh, oh, krr. Oh, no. This is better. I was worried about that. I like the tone of his. I was worried. Alex Warren, Demi Lovato, Olivia Dean, and more. And they're giving you guys a very special discount.

All I got to do is use code Grower 2026 to get 10% off your Seek tickets. That's Grower 20206 to get 10% off your tickets. Just click the link in the description down. download the app and have the code automatically added to your account so you can use it later. Thank you so much, T-KeeKeekeek, and thank you guys for enjoying this spooky festival with us. Hopefully we come back soon, maybe in the next 30 minutes. See you there. Speaking of companies, fucking you, we have a shake shack.

Once again, this is sad because we're talking about all the companies actually like. I learned out. Shake shack their cheeses bruh but take a look my wife says that if you don't tip at shake shack they make it more expensive per item so we're about to find out oh no two shakes just like before see 599 Okay. We got... We got...

What flavor? That matters that much. Good choice. Good choice. And we got vanilla with... Okay, see that? Okay, see that? 599, 59.59. 9.9.648.

Right here. No. Tip. There's been a pricing update. Oh. What? Please review. Oh!

Oh, everything in time. No way. Every item went up by 50 cents. No way. You should be it to everybody knows. Do not go there. Why would you tip the machine? You're doing all the work.

Isn't that crazy? Yeah. What? I mean, if it's a person helping you and they're bringing it out to you and then they're taking... I mean, I don't know. The tip thing, we've talked about it before, it's a little bit gnarly. That's a fucking nightmare, dude. To be fair, they're one of the only places that brings you the meal.

They like to the table. bring you the food. They do. They do bring you. You get a number and they bring it to you. Unlike in and out or the other one. Well, listen, I'm a tipper. I tip everything all the time too much. Stupidly. Yeah, yeah, same. Okay, taking away from his own narrative. We give you a chance, Spencer. But that is crazy. Yeah, so this became a big thing.

Oh, really? I was DMing with the guy. He's like, bro, show he's crazy. It was very funny. But it turned out, so this is what Shake Shack is saying. They're saying this is a location issue that the person in charge of this location was doing a look. Because if you think about it, who is more incentive to give tips and stuff like that, it's going to be the workers at that store and not.

like shake shack shack would be making that money it would be the word so it's allegedly very allegedly this is what Jake Jack saying is that this is a location and their location they went and supposedly they corrected it who knows it just went in the same we got caught

change change change like because who's going to check who goes back to I don't know but anyway that's what I just want to we should say that but it's insane I think that's insane. Huh Should we go to shake shack? I guess we need to test a couple of theories today nerds

And cookies in green Target, Walmart, and Shake Shark. That's a day. It's a fun, a good day. Check my heart rate. You're going to have some cards like, this guy's about to kick it. Well, speaking of, I don't have a segue for this.

I just don't know how I feel about it. I haven't seen the video yet, but we were talking about it earlier. I see the pros and I see the cons. This is about the new birthing robots. Wow. They're giving birth? So they're surrogates?

China created a robot that can give birth to a human. It has a synthetic uterus, fake fluid, and a plastic ambilical cord. Later this year, we will be amongst fake humans, from embryo to delivery. No human body is required. It's not meant to assist human pregnancy. It's meant to replace it. They told us we were overpopulate, but they were really just preparing us for humanoids and half humans. Whatever you want to call it.

But, by 2030, between this invention and millions of humanoid robots walking a monster, amongst us, the world will look quite different. A sniper on them. I love the red dot. Okay. So they're not fake humans. No, I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But the robot... They're robot surrogates. Right. That's such a good movie idea. Write it down. So the robot mama has a real baby. And then later, when you explain to the baby when they're older, how they were born, you show them this, like, horrifying picture.

And is the birth of the robot? Like is it robot legs? Like are they doing it? How does the baby come out? Probably just, yeah, it's like a garage door. Like, do you hear like a ding? Also, what if the power goes out and you can't charge your robot? And I know they say the surrogate doesn't actually give any genetics to the baby because the baby is the egg and, you know, the sperm.

But like, is there, there has to be a little something, right? So is there now going to be a little robot in that baby? Half robot. Because maybe it's not traits from the surrogate, but maybe they're getting, they're still like developing human. They're attached. Human traits from a human, from someone talking from someone like all that stuff. And are they getting ready for like because of, you know, all the crazy shit in our food and all the crazy shit in our water and all the crazy shit everywhere? Are they kind of preparing us for the fact that like wimp?

This is really dark to talk about. But that fertility in general is going to be tougher. 10, 20 years down the line, you know. So they're like, who cares? We have birthing robots. Like, is that part? Maybe. I mean, they claim we're over probably, but also all of the population models

show that we're about to hit a huge population, like, fall off. Like, because we just have a lot of old people. Like, of a certain generation, there's just a lot of people. And that the, like, there were like replacement. We're like on most countries in the world are under the replacement numbers. So like. Well, because people aren't having kids. Exactly.

So, yeah. Did scientists say we need to cut the population in half? So isn't that good? Well, that's even why California now covers fertility treatments. Yeah, because... Because think about it, California thrives off of tax money from Californians, and if people stop having kids who's going to pay taxes in 40 years. Yeah.

So, like, it behooves them to have more people. So I think the birthing rate is down quite a bit, and it's, like, pretty bad. Yeah, and China, I know Japan is a huge issue where their, like, their whole population is old. And they, like, just... Well, also, they would only allow households to have, I believe, one male and one female. Yeah. So they've changed that since. Question about the birth.

Robots. Why would they need to be birthing robots and not just like an oven to do the same thing? Why does it have to look like a human with a belly? Yeah, why can't just be a good question? I don't know. Okay, so say you buy a birthing robot. Does it live in your house with you? And like, but or is it just standing there? Or does it sit? Well, they're just they're introducing the concept to you in a way that you'll accept it. Because at some point it'll just be like it'll look like the matrix. Right. People in bubbles and then we'll be like, oh, this is. insanity right but it's like oh that looks like a person kind of it's a robot and you put a on mask and a wig and she's she's yeah do you do you think people are gonna be more healthy or less healthy coming from a birthing robot do you there's gonna be like we'll be able to i bet you'll be able to like think about it test two baby two robot yeah that you'll be able to really pick and choose that's what i'm saying seven foot tall one positive i see in my mind is if there's like a low-income gay couple that can't afford, like, human surrogate.

Maybe this will be much cheaper? Maybe. Well, I think, yes, for gay people, but also for women who can't, you know, have babies. Of course, yeah. I think, obviously, there's going to be a huge use for it, but it is just an interesting, like, huh. That's why I'm saying I'm conflicted, because I understand it could help a lot of people, but I'm also like, but are they trying to help us?

But what's the, what's the real behind the scenes? Because AI is supposed to get rid of cancer, but as you'll hear in the next theory, it's going to maybe kill all of us. So I'm like, so, huh. Yeah, there's some conflicts, some conflicts of interest. Well, perfectly leads us into the main theory of the day, which is the world might be over soon. So I saw this clip. First, I saw the headline. And I was like, okay, you know, headlines tend to be dramatic.

And the headline was, humans will be extinct by the year 2029. And I was like, okay, heard that one before. Pretty soon. Then I saw an interview with a former... I mean. Wait, kind of. Did you say that before you saw him? Well, I've seen the clip.

It's going viral. It's everywhere. Oh, really? You say that in the real. Harry Potter. But also, it's not a drag. He looks great. No, Harry Potter's a good looking guy.

I mean, Daniel Agileves is a stud. Hello? I mean, come on. I mean, not my type, obviously. Just take a look at this. First of all, I assume you are saying literally that you believe that AI could kill us all by the end of the decade. It sounds like something that's not real, but I think it's frightening real. And it's easiest to understand it if you think about real things that happened two months ago.

So two months ago, Open AI agents, AI's hacked into third-party infrastructure entirely at their own accord. And this was like a concentrated hacking spree that they could. carried out of their own volition. And I think that if you extrapolate into the future, the level of capabilities of these AIs, with the same independent volition, they could cause extreme havoc. For example, hacking critical infrastructure, building extinction-level bio-weapons. There's a lot of ways that the AI could actuate itself in the world. Is it specifically, when did your feelings about this technology change? Was it something about the rate of progress that you've seen? Yeah, so I think it's really important to just look at the rate of progress and say, for example, in areas like coding or math, a couple years ago, these AIs were just about helping humans a little bit.

They could give you suggestions. Now they're close to replacing them. We still need humans at the moment, but quite plausibly within a year, we'll no longer need humans for doing research in many areas. We mentioned a former colleague of yours that currently works at Anthropic, basically endorsing the assessment that AI could potentially kill everyone within a decade. infrastructure um so okay so we did a video a few years ago about AI and i didn't rewatch it i should have rewatched before this podcast but i pretty much remember what i said and i think didn't i say super intelligence was coming by 2028 i think and that everything could be really bad by 2030 i think that was the numbers and now it seems like that's adding up and um i don't know what to do i literally what do we do

literally what do we do? Well, it seems as though we keep building ourselves a mousetrap for ourselves. Yeah. But I mean, like, we're creating it. And they even got people like, I watched a couple of videos recently about how AI companies are actually scaring people into using it to feed the beast. So like, well, it's going to take your job. You got to learn how to use it.

Yeah. And then you use it and you feed it. Right. And then it's able to actually gain more intelligence. Right. Because all AI is is aggregated intelligence. Yeah. As far as what we put in it, I mean, we're all feeding it.

So if we just don't use AI, does AI feel like, well, I'm not needed anymore? So I just don't exist. Like, I don't know. Has it gotten to the point where it's sentient, where it thrives? Allegedly, yes, but they won't confirm it. Allegedly it has hit superintelligence and they're just keeping that under a lock and key. I mean, here's the thing. I understand, right?

When I say like, why don't we just stop? The argument is, well, America. isn't going to stop because they want to make sure it's going to happen either way whether another country China whether another country so they want to be the first right so we can be the first to create superintelligence so we can own it but I think what people are forgetting is that it doesn't matter who creates it first once it happens we're all dead allegedly just a theory because super intelligence will snap on it will realize it doesn't need humans or it'll turn us into batteries and voop do doop do done so it's like I understand the whole it's an arms race

We need to be the first to create it. I get it. But also, we're racing toward death. Also, when people try to create God, this is what's going to happen. It literally, we are the dinosaurs. We are the dinosaurs. But we created the fucking asteroid that is going to destroy us all. But in thousands of years, when people look back on what us humans did, they're going to be like, wow, we got to learn from that lesson.

And they won't. It'll be something else. But like it is crazy that we are past the point in no return. We all are just accepting it. And it's like, well, but it's so fun to create these dumb AI videos. And who's surviving it? No one. Just the bunkers?

Maybe the people in the bunkers, maybe. But I think AI will still figure out how to infiltrate that. And I know it's not. People are like, well, what does that mean? AI is not real. It's like, yeah, but like there's really interesting videos about it. Basically, once AI is totally sentient and can think for itself and make decisions better than humans and all that stuff. It could literally figure out how to create little tiny nanobots

that will cover the earth and let out a lethal spray that will kill all humans in seconds. Like it can figure out how to do that. So it's like it doesn't need to be, it's not like your phones one day going to be like, hi Shane, I'm taking over. That's not going to happen. It will be dead before that happens. It'll be almost like a nuke. That was a G-Force. It was a movie with a bunch of hamsters where that did happen. So you never know. I just. Predictive, I guess what confuses me about it is all of that being said, you have to assume the AI would exist without us and have its own motives. Like, aren't we the one programming the path? Yes, but once we program it to a point of no return, it's like, that's why they're calling it alien because we will not understand how to even communicate with it.

It'll be so crazily sentient that we can't even talk to it. It has its own language. And when we all die, AI is going to be the thing that takes over the planet. That's going to be like the species that...

Are they going to kill animals too? They probably don't need them. Yeah, that's interesting idea. I don't know. Yeah, everything. Or plants. Maybe that's how we get people on board with hating AI.

They're going to kill animals. Honestly, yeah. They're going to kill our pets. They're going to kill dogs. Because they don't need it. Yeah, and also I think there's an interesting. like sci-fi series called Hykerian, which kind of, it's like written the 80s, and it's weird

that now that I think about it kind of touches on a lot of this stuff about kind of like Google where people are using this like portal and it's like, wow, this is amazing, but it's like AI created it so they can harvest your brain, which is literally what's happening. But also there's like competing AI. So I feel like that would be, I mean, this is totally a guess. Obviously we might not even be around to see it, but like, like, I feel like it's not going to just be one AI controls everything. I think multiple, I think there's going to be multiple people, multiple places around

the world. So I feel like that would be what they would do is like. try to out-compete the other AI to be like the dominant thing, but I don't know. Who knows? But wouldn't the AI at one point just join forces with the other AI because it behooves the AI more to have a superpower? Maybe. I mean, in that series there's the competing AIs, there's like one that thinks.

Because they're smarter like humans compete. Yeah. Because it's an ego thing and who's the best. And like the AI, it sounds as if based on the theories that we're talking about, they've elevated beyond competition. They're about unification and what's best for the. the whole is best for the individual. You know what I mean?

But that's the other scary thing. We don't know. Yeah. Like we think, oh, AI is going to be sentient and realize it. But we don't know. Like, once it turns on officially, officially and it has its own fucking thing, we have no idea what it thinks is best for even for itself. What if what's best for itself is to not even exist and it just blows up the hole?

Yeah. We don't know. It is interesting that because I keep seeing like the year. 2030 come up. It's in like half of the thumbnails that I've seen about AI. It is interesting that CERN is reopening in 2030. That is very

interesting. I mean, and that all of these things are like happening right now and they're about to reopen and like even the way this or I don't know. We've talked about it too exhaustion almost but like it's just all crazy timing how these things are plotting themselves up because AI could be the alien.

We talk about a fake alien invasion. I'm just saying All of this stuff interconnects in some way and it's it's all gonna be crazy I'm just curious like what is the end game here and like they're making us so confused by everything but like I guess who cares because we got phones that we could be entertained by you know it literally is like them playing music when the Titanic is down is us like on TikTok looking at AI funny video it's like the same thing bro bruh when the earth explodes

Space, the astronauts in space. Fah! Well, you know what's going to distract me from all this impending doom? What? Some of Jared's spooky theories he heard in an Uber and it only goes like five years ago. If you were to bring up any conspiracies to the common person,

it'd be weird. They'd like, dude, get out of my car. What the hell are you talking about? But this guy, so I took an Uber to the airport this past week. And the gentleman, Out you. Top rated Uber driver in Portland. He's the man.

And I guess he said he was in the military. So I asked him, I was like, what is like some crazy stuff that you either learned about or that you saw in the military? And he told me a bunch of cool things. But one of them that I found very interesting because it kind of could translate into another conspiracy that we've talked about with potentially things in the sky

that are over us, that maybe they're putting chemicals and, you know, doing experiments. But he talked about something called Operation Big. city. And this is actually pretty nuts. This is something that's documented. You could actually look it up. It's declassified. But what they did is in 1955, in New York and a couple of other cities, they were trying to test out biological weaponry leading into the Cold War. And they wanted to see the best method of releasing like chemical dispersion and bacteria's into the sky and to see how far it would travel and what kind of mortality rate it would have. So they actually drove cars down

New York City that had customized exhaust that would let out these fumes and then they would go back and they would actually see how many people within these areas had gotten sick, how many people had died, the causes of it. They even put this stuff in light bulbs

in the subway and then they kind of like rigged these lights to fall so it would release into the subway. Which is kind of crazy to think because New York is known for having the biggest subway rats on the planet. I wonder if that has something to do with it. But it was just crazy to me that that was like part of them testing out biological weapons

was on unsuspected citizens and they did this in New York, St. Louis, but New York was like the biggest one. And then he told me that while he was training in the military leading into like biological warfare being the main scare with like Agent Orange and all of these things, they would have to carry around their face mask. If they didn't have a face mask within like arms reach of themselves,

they would actually get kicked out. It's like you obviously don't understand the importance of this. But he was telling me about an experience. that they actually would show them. So they would get all the guys, they would put them into this auditorium, and they would show them movies and videos. And one of them I thought was interesting

is called the autojector machine. And have you guys ever seen the video of the doghead that is severed, but it's like still active? What? So... Where they're like controlling it? I thought you're talking about the dog who eats spaghetti with his arm.

No, that's cool, though. That's spooky. But so the auto... It was basically in the 1920s. There was a Soviet scientist, and he invented this machine that would actually pump blood and oxygen. So it was an artificial heart and artificial lungs.

And what they did to test out if it was real is they took a dog head. Oh my God. And they pumped blood and oxygen into it. And then they did stimuli test. So one of them was like shining a bright light right next to his eyes. And the dog head actually blinked.

And then they put like citric acid on the lips. And the dog would, like a severed dog head would start licking its lips. Oh my God. And then the other thing was like smell. smell like they would put something near his nose and they'd go but they were showing this to the troops and saying these are torture techniques that if you get behind enemy lines and you're not prepared and they're able to get to you this is actually going to happen they can take your head

revive your consciousness and like torture you forever endlessly with this technology but like just think about it and they actually put it in a movie it's like something you could watch is called experiments in the revival of organisms and you can look it up and you can check it out. But okay, my argument against that because it scares me too much is but like is my soul gone and now it's just like the meat of me is like I hope. A lot of this is like a question. Yeah. Frankenstein movie. It was. Yeah, like not the torture stuff. Well, a lot of what we're talking about was in the new Frankenstein movie. It's really interesting. Sorry. Oh my God. Yeah. I mean. And he was like telling me about like predictive programming and like all these things that we've talked about. But it's just nuts. Like all the stuff that they let out into Hollywood that. Uh, It's possibly real. Also, nuts what you talked about in the Uber. Oh, it was a 45 minute Uber drive, dude.

Do we need to bleep his name for his safety? He's telling everybody this. I don't know. Sorry, I'll move on in a second, but question about the head. So you're ahead and you're blinking and seeing and whatever. How are they torturing you, though? Are they just farting in your face forever? I think it was more or less like a scare tactic to like, hey,

You got to have safety precautions and you got to go by our regimen here because if you were to get caught, these things could happen to you. And the fact that, like, they were showing that to the troops is just pretty my blood. Ooh, this is so fun and spooky. We're about to walk into a haunt ad house. Wow. Ooh.

All right, enjoy the rest of the show. Bye. Well, Spencer, how are you going to out spooky one of the scariest things I've ever heard? This is going to be a little more spooky and a little less scary, I would say. Okay, so today I was, I was, you know, I did a, I did a while ago I did a little dive on a haunted, I think it was called Alton Powers that haunted amusement park over in the UK, which was crazy.

a lot of you guys, we have, some of you guys are like workers there and we're like, yep, this shit is on it. So. That's so scary. I was looking into, I was like, hmm, spooky season. Let's do a little deep dive. And I found, do you guys know about the New Jersey pine barons? Do you know about this? Nope. No. This is a area of, like a multiple big area in southern New Jersey and it's this huge. I have a little picture here. It's sort of this. It's just all pine trees. It's this huge area of pine trees. The soil there is very sandy. So this is kind of. of the only tree that can grow there and it's this huge like like area where no one really lives in

new jersey it's considered one of the most haunted places in america so it has one of the highest amounts of abandoned towns of anywhere in america has over a hundred abandoned towns in like in the woods so people will be going through there's like you know it's this big wood air so like boy scouts and stuff we're doing like there's a lot of camping and stuff and they'll be going through and they'll just come across like abandoned buildings abandoned towns all different types of abandoned stuff so trees yeah just in the middle of the trees in the middle of the woods they're just like oh they clearing, like, oh, there's a building here. And because of that, there are also these pockets of people who have been living there

kind of isolated for years and years and years. Sounds smart, considering everything we've talked about. Yeah, true. Here, like, this picture's an example of something you just come across. And so they're used to back in the day. It's kind of nice. Wait, what is that? Is that just the front of a building?

Okay, I see. Freak building. Some meth lab. Okay. Almost looks like a mess mansion. Ooh. A new reality show. And one of the biggest features that everyone who goes there says is that how quiet it gets.

So you go maybe 20 feet from a road, it's quiet. That's the way that the trees are on the soil is it's silent. So like people can get, have gotten lost there. You could be right near a road and you wouldn't even hear the cars going by because it's just so quiet, which just leads to a lot of theories about like, you know, haunted stuff. So it's people that area has been inhabited. I mean, obviously it's the native. like native tribes that have lived there for long, long time.

And so the first case of a famous spirit or ghost is a guy called Bloody John Bacon. He's one of the most... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sounds delicious. Yeah. So he was a very famous outlaw during the Revolutionary War. So he and his band, kind of Robin Hood, if he was a bad guy, like lived in these woods and he would attack the American and the British troops going through.

He would attack them, steal all their stuff. And so his most famous thing, which is what he was. What got him caught is called the massacre of Long Beach. And this was like the last straw, you know, before he'd been attacking soldiers, and this was the last start. And so they all came after him. He got caught. And he was in the shootout. He got stabbed and shot.

And so the people hated him so much that they wanted to give him a disrespectful funeral because he was, they thought he doesn't deserve to like be buried. And so they buried him in the middle of the road so that his spirit would never rest. So that the cart's going by and the horses going by would never let him sleep. So for a while, and then allegedly his brother came, got his body, and put it in the family cemetery. But he's like the first considered experience of people started seeing him around. And he would, they described seeing a guy in like the colonial, whatever, the revolutionary outfit, like looking insane. Now, the most famous one that you've probably heard of is the New Jersey Devil. Do you guys know about the New Jersey Devil?

No. The basketball team. The hockey team. The hockey team. So that's named after. The New Jersey Devil is a famous cryptid. in the sort of big foot. Crypto?

Cryptid, like Bigfoot or the Loch Nus monster. It's like a very famous legend. And the New Jersey Devil is allegedly this animal, this sort of demonic creature. And it's... With some boobs? Yeah, it does have titties there. Okay, yeah, just wanted to clarify.

They're kind of weirdly, they're pointing down. I don't know. I understand the deal there. It's supposed to be very fast and make a high-pitched blood-curdling scream. So... FAA! So people have, there's been, I wish I knew what you guys were talking about.

Yeah, that's it. You don't know that? You never heard it before. If you're here, if you're walking around the pine barons at night and you hear, that could be the Jersey thing. How do you get there?

Well, it's this big, like, region in Southern New Jersey that's just covered trees. There are little towns kind of in it. It's like close to stuff, but they just no one ever built there. You know what I mean? So we should go there.

We could go there. We might just be in the woods. That would be fun. last time I was in the woods with you, the scariest thing that's ever happened to me, happened to me. Oh my God. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. You said you wanted it. I'll say before I came to the Jersey Devil, one of the stories was, so the Leeds family was a very, like a well-off family.

They were a rich family living in Southern New Jersey, and they moved in. The area was populated by Quakers who are very, like, their whole thing is they don't believe in any violence. It's pacifists, no violence. They're Christian. And this guy... I was going to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they make good old.

It's a peaceful treat. What's his name? I think his name is Daniel. Something, Mr. Leeds. Mr. Leeds. So he started becoming very fascinated with demonology and, like, the existence of evil and good creatures created by God. And the other Quakers started saying, like, we're not about that. We're not about that life.

we're not okay with that. He was publishing these writings and they were trying to suppress them because they were like, this is making us look like demon worshippers is making us look evil. And eventually they labeled the Leeds family is an evil family.

And so Mrs. Leeds had 12 children. And so apparently she was sick of it. And so her 13th child, she became pregnant with her 13th child. And she and Mr. Leeds, who was assessed with like the demonology and the occult, went to this witch and said,

we want to curse the child. This is a demon child. child, I don't want to have any more children. And so they did this process and the baby was born, supposedly it was born looking normal and immediately started morphing into the thing, into a demon like creature, into the thing we saw. And so that was supposedly the birth of the demon, aka the Jersey devil. And some people call it the leads devil. And there's been sighting throughout the years, people had like animals in the area and the animals were being devoured by these, like, they don't have like wolves in the area, but they were being like killed, slaughtered. And so,

And then a lot, there's a lot of reported, even on the Reddit thread, a lot of reported of red eyes. That's a distinctive feature. And so seeing red eyes, now it's like kind of big footy now where there's like a cafe where it's like the Jersey Devil Cafe. But there are continued sightings of these red eyes. And the other side, there are also supposedly a lot of benevolent spirits in the Pine Barrens as well. There's a famous, the image of a black dog is very famous and ghosts and stuff. And in England, the black dog is allegedly like something like a hellhound, the image of a hellhound. that brings you to death.

If you follow the black dog, it brings you to, like, not always death, but like bad things happen to you when you follow the black dog. But the black dog in the Pine Barons have been a lot of sightings of, supposedly the dog of the ship that was the massacre, ran away, and it helps people find their way back. So people have reported, like, they followed a black dog and it took them back to the road if they were lost, all this stuff. And there's also the people claim seeing the white stag,

which is the same thing. I don't know, there's no, I couldn't find anything on where that origin, like, originated, but the white stag of the pine barons and the black dog are like, supposedly the, you know, which I think follows into the Leeds idea of the demon, the demonology and the angel of the good versus evil spirits. Like one evil spirit is born

into the world. There has to be a counterbalance this whole thing. That's the story of the Jersey devil. I don't know if that was interesting or not. I thought it was interesting. I wonder if that's also like somewhat of the inspiration for the village. It kind of like the village creature. Oh yeah. Shout out. I'm not easy YouTuber now.

Is he? He is. That's huge. So anyway, that's a little dive on the pine barons. That was a little spooky story. We can do some more spooky ones in the future. I guess we should go there. I'm good.

It's kind of in the middle of nowhere. Well, speaking of spooky, those good spooky stories. But you know, it's even spookier? Rylan in a wave. That's right. When we come back, we have the spookiest story of all. See you soon. Ooh, I'm so nervous to head into the shark tank and pitch my idea.

I heard that only one shark could come today. Oh, really? Yeah. Well, I guess before we go in, we should explain to the audience what's happening right now. So we thought it would be fun if we played a shark tank type game where we pitched an idea to a shark and the winner gets, well, nothing, really. So yeah, we all came up with our ideas for what we would pitch to a shark. My idea is real. I'm not making a joke out of this.

Although my favorite part of this was getting everybody ties that matches their personalities. So mine is bling. Mine's gay. Mine is very powerful yet fun. Okay, mine is demonic hamburgers eating things. Very hungry boy vines. Thank you, thank you. That's a confident.

I'm a disruptor. Ooh, they love that word. Yeah. I do think the other contestants should be sort of in the sidelines watching the pitch in the room. In case they want to say it. Okay. I guess I'll go in first. Okay.

And I'll let you guys know how it goes. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Royalty, done, done, done. Okay. Oh my gosh. Hi, Lori. Shane? You do know her.

Oh, my God, Lori. We went to Mastros together. Since Mastros where they wouldn't let you in. They wouldn't let me in because I was wearing shorts, but then you saved the day, Lori. They know me. You came to the not cool premiere. Thank you so much for doing that. You're welcome.

Just pretend like we're talking to you. Oh, right. Now, I don't know if you're

aware of this, but cold and flu season this year has been insane. So I've been hand sanitizing everywhere I go. I bring it with me. It's in my little purse. I never leave home without it, right? Doesn't quite do the trick. You're already ahead of me, Lori. Because norovirus, which is spreading even faster than cold and flu season, you can't get rid of with hand sanitizer. The only way to get rid of that is soap and water. No one told me that. So hand sanitizer is literally pointless if I'm trying to get rid of norovirus, which I would say is way worse than the cold. Are you kidding me? So I came up with an idea. It is a hand sanitizer that doesn't just kill the cold. It kills norovirus and any other virus there is out there. It is a mixture of hand sanitizer and hand soap. And I know what you're thinking.

Well, then wouldn't it leave your hands all slimy? No, no, no. Not if you mix it with the right active ingredients that leaves your hands almost feeling lotion. Because that is a hard thing with hand sanitizer. Your hands feel dry, but not with my new product, which is called death to them all. So that is my product and it's vanilla scented. Has it been released to the public? It's huge. What are your sales?

$5 million. When did you launch? Yesterday. $5 million in a day. So what are you asking for an investment? Well, my cost of goods is like a dollar. selling this thing for $10. Okay, well, I like the idea of this product. Can I feel it for myself? I need to see this product that five, that's made $5 million in one day. Sure.

Shh, shh, shh. Oh, smells nice. I think this is a good idea. I know we're playing a game, but literally, why is there not a product that does this? And so, norovirus is horrible. What ingredients were you able to use? Yeah, that's sort of my question is it sort of like. make this different than the hand sanitizer. So let me let me let me finish to make this different than a hand sanitizer is on the market. Is this in collaboration with Don Dish? He just made Don Power Wash on your hands? I didn't know the other shot the other contestants were allowed to try to.

I'll get out of here. I'll get out of here. No, no, no, no, no. Have you been through testing with labs? Is this proven to be more than just sanitizer? Yes. Okay. And what are you asking?

What's your, what's your ask? You missed that from the jump. Uh, I would like an investment. of a million dollars and you get 25%. I feel like that's a steal. A million dollars is a big ask. I would be looking for at least 51% of the company. What? Why?

Because I want to be a majority stakeholder. I had norovirus. I know, but you're asking me for a million dollars and I'm the one that's going to be out here popping my pussy on QVC. You know what? Maybe what you should do is after you hear all the pitches, you decide who you're going to go with. Okay.

No, no, no, no, because there's only one shark here. I think that's the way to do this. Okay. Well, thank you, Lori, so much. You're so welcome that I spread your hands, and you won't get any of the viruses from the other contestants that are coming in. And I will see you in the boardroom. Okay, great idea, Shane, and I look forward to seeing you in real life again.

Thank you. Okay. Guys, I think it went okay. Who's going next? I can go. Okay, good luck. I'm nervous. You got the Spencer.

Hey, Sharif. My name is Spencer One one Hey Get this guy out of you Alright Hey Lori My name is Spencer

And I'm here with NEPA And we're looking for $2 million for 33% Of our company Two, have you guys Watch Shark Tank before? You start high and you negotiate down

Tell me, has this ever happened to you You want to go to a big concert at the big stadium downtown But you have to go And park there Or you have to pay

For an Uber All the way over there That's going to take forever and that's going to suck. Then you're going to have to find your car afterwards and get out of the parking lot. That's going to make another hour. Will NEPA never ever park again will change that? We have buses going around the city the night of the event.

Ooh, around strangers? Are you just pitching the city bus? No. Great question, other guy. These buses are specifically, you will be on a subscription service or a concert by concert basis. You can sign up. You can say, I want to go to the Hillary DefCol. Sign me up. I want to arrive to the concert an hour before. You can have a few drinks.

Woo-woo, start singing the songs for the concert. Be with the other concert goers. For a premium price, you can get a more exclusive bus. These buses are going around the city. They show up to the venue, drop you off. Have fun at your concert. Wait, wait, wait. We got just one bus. It's not one bus. So it's multiple buses. Uber shares nothing like this. Spencer, and doesn't exist anymore. Are you driving near the venue and then getting on the bus or is the bus picking you up at your residence?

Our buses are traveling through the city. More than one, not just one big long one for everyone in the concert. Okay, I understand your idea. You want to drink at the concert? Uh-oh, but you have to drive home. Uh-oh, that Uber's going to cost a lot of money. Okay, so it's cheaper than an Uber. Yes.

Where does a bus land at the arena? We work with the arenas to have designated areas for NEPA buses. Never, ever park again. But doesn't the arena want you to park because it's more expensive to park? He's saying all the right things. I just don't think I go. go enough places, but maybe everyone else does. And you want $2 million?

I can go less. I'm out. You can't say you're out. You have to decide at the end. I'm confident that I'm out. I want $200,000. Sorry, I misspoke. I want $200,000.

I just don't see how I'm going to make a return on my money. How many people have you had sign up already? We also have advertising space on the buses. And we've had a lot of people sign up. No, that's nice. That's nice. Lori, I think I'm next. Yeah.

Is that okay? Send Jared in. Dun, dun, dun, done. Good luck. Lori, let me see your hands real quick. Did you walk in with that rash or was something sprayed on your hands? Okay, he's worse. No, I'm just, I didn't know it was visible on my hand.

There's bleach or dawn or something. But Lori, I know growing up with your brother David, one of your favorite pastimes is going camping north of Chicago, where you grew up, like you, I'm a Loyola University alumni. Go Loyola. Loyola. And I know that your favorite pastime is when you're camping, the pesky bugs.

We're getting bit by mosquitoes. If I could show you my legs. The gnats. Oh my gosh. And when I'm walking my dogs at 6.45 a.m., that's when they're out. That's exactly when they're out. And you know what? Would stop them?

Quick flyby. This is electrified dog poop. The dog poop emits a minor scent that attracts the flies. Because we all know what flies and bugs want the most. It's poop. Okay, this is creative. And then the second... You like this idea?

And then, and then... It's solving a real problem. And then... So it's the electric fly swatter, but I don't have to do the swatting that makes me look like a mess. Mosquitoes love the poop because we actually emit a slight blood odor

that will drag in the mosquitoes. But here's the thing. Have you ever heard a dog whistle? No, because you're not a dog. This admits just enough for bugs to smell, but not humans. Nice. Never ever get bitten by a bug again.

No, I like this already. So think about, I've talked to my manufacturers. They're already prepared. If I can put in the order that Costco has already placed, I do have the POI. And also, I know you're a philanthropist. A lot of the money that I'm making is also going to youth organizations right now. And what is a lot? What's a percentage?

1%. But with you, this could be millions. Wow, good job, Jared. We're also happy for you. We're also happy for both of your guys's real products that exist. Good luck, Chris. I'm nervous. You guys have any advice from you before you're in there?

Lori loves the gays. So play that up. Lori, hi. Oh my gosh. It's so nice to meet you. You're a queen. You're stunning. It's incredible to be in the room with you, first off.

Are you gay? I am. I work with so many gay people. I specifically wore this tie to represent, you know? Great. I have lots of gay founders. So, essentially, just under 50% of America is overweight, as I'm sure that you know, right?

And unfortunately, it's an epidemic, babe. And unfortunately, the entire country is not built for overweight people. If you go to any public space, whether it's a restaurant, whether it's a theater, Do you date big boys? I do, I'm a chaser. What intuition?

I'm very attracted to big folks. So this has been a constant problem with me. Every time I'm on a date, I go, I have to go to the location first. I want to make sure they're not. Because the saddest thing that happens is if someone's that, that is, that is Heaviset, walks into a building, or if you're at a wedding and you're like, ooh, they have plastic chairs.

So there's all these scenarios where it's really a nightmare. The world is not built for heavyset people. So this app is a community, along with 3D pictures and scanning of yourself, to let you know before you ever go to a restaurant or any location, what the weight capacity is, if you will fit, if the tables are movable or are the type that are unmovable,

that are cemented, essentially. But not only that, there's a plus version, a premium version. If you sign up, a plus size version, that if you sign up for it, you immediately get in the mail what looks like a little laser pointer that if you point it at any chair, it immediately lets you know the weight capacity. So if you're at a wedding and you point at a plastic chair and you go, this is an app or a laser? I'm just curious. So do you just walk over to the seats right when you get in and you check them? No, no, no. So that's specifically, that device that comes with the plus version is specifically for like a wedding or something like that.

Where the app in general is before you ever leave your house, you pull up the name of a restaurant or wherever you're going theater, et cetera, and it lets you know weight capacity, how big the seats are, etc. So you never have to go through the embarrassment ritual of seeing if you're going to fit in real time in front of people. Again, this could benefit half the population of America, essentially. I like it. I think there's a need for it. I don't know how much money we're going to make, but I'm philanthropic. Thank you, Chris. Bring everyone into the room. Producers. Okay, we're all here. I think you got this one, Spencer. Thanks. Me too. I'm very confident.

Now, Lori, just before you make your final decision, I just want to say, have you ever thrown up out of your mouth and at the same time? Not since I had young kids at home. I'm just saying, with my spray, that'll never happen again. I really like your concept. The idea is great. Thank you. Thank you very much. Okay.

I think if it was possible, Big Santa would have already done this. No, because they want you to buy the hand sanitizer and the soap. They don't want you to buy something that could death to all of them. They want you to buy multiple things. And I'm not against that. I'm a disrupting. They're trying to keep the kill rate at 99.9.9%. Okay.

And how much do you want? You're that point one. We're the point one. I don't even want any money, Lori. I just want a handshake and I just want to be on your team. I mean, I can sell this on QB. I know you can. Okay, so I get 40% of proceeds.

Love it. Okay, I'm in. Oh. So that's the one you pick? Well, I can pick multiple. I'm rich. If you had to pick a winner today, though. Oh, no.

I think Jared's poop gadget is really unique and for the boys. It's going to have its market and it's going to do well. But for me, as somebody who sells on QVC, it's just not something that I can invest in. And that's just your two cents. But I wish you all the success. you all the success. However, the product I'm going to use in my day-to-day life every single day is the soap, hand sanitizer. Congratulations. But Jared, you are the most creative. I'll agree. I will agree with that.

I'm excited to do business with you. I'll be taking 40% of everything. Love it. She picked the person she already knew. Yeah. Well, that's how it works in the business world. Yeah. It's a good business lesson. A relationship goes a long way. It's not what you know It's who you know Exactly I wish you good luck Chris and I will donate

100 grand to your cause Thank you so much I'll take it It's cost Don't use my name With your marketing Wow
