Last season, millions tuned into the Betrayal podcast to hear a shocking story of deception.
I'm Andrea Gunning, and now we're sharing an all-new story of betrayal.
Ashley Lytton was helping her husband set up a business Venmo account when she discovered
a terrible secret. I saw it in a folder, and I opened it. What the hell did I just see?
Listen to season two of Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get
your podcasts. Between April 1971 and September 1972, six young black girls were snatched off
the streets in Washington, D.C. This child was laying on the side of the road. The person said,
I murdered your daughter. The killer believed that he may have been seen. I will admit the others
when you catch me if you can. Signed Freeway Phantom. Listen to Freeway Phantom on the iHeart

You should, that's why I'm doing it.
You're hitting me again.
Oh, are you bitch?
No, no, I don't want to.
Are you a bitch or an asshole?
Blake, why are you being a bitch?
Why are you being a bitch, dude?
Because that's what I am,
because that's what I don't want to hear Kyle talk about it.
Wow, it's a great movie.
But just being an asshole.
I know, we're doing a bit.
It was gonna be funny.
I was in on the bit.
The TII nation was gonna love it.
Comedy is mean.
Kyle's in on the bit, dude.
No, not all of TII nation likes shitting on Kyle, okay?
Some of us out here like Kyle, okay?
Who cares?
I don't care.
I like, dude, I love Kyle.
I fucking love Kyle.
But when we're doing bits, you gotta do bits, man.
Yeah, well, that's the thing.
I get a lot of love from people out there.
They're like, bro, they always shit on you
and you're like fucking.
Yeah, you're a survivor.
They're like, I'm the same.
I play the same role in my group of friends.
Way to let it roll off your back, bro.
Just roll it off.
And I'm like, yeah.
There you go.
Oh, wow.
The Arugula Losers, baby.
The Arugula Losers, baby.
The Arugula Losers.
Damn.
I didn't know you had people reaching out to you like,
I'm the bitch of my friend.
Oh, wow.
I'm the bitch of my friend, Drew.
By the way, are you like, wait, what?
It's a comedy show.
This isn't really how we do it.
I'm not that guy.
Are you kidding me?
I know exactly what they're talking about, dude.
Hey.
Water tread.
I feel it.
Yeah, and you're not the bitch of our friend group, Kyle.
You are not.
I do feel it, though, when you guys hit me.
I know it's funny, but I feel it.
You're not the bitch.
Blake is the bitch.
What?
I'm the bitch.
Hold up.
Hold on.
Hold on.
I'm the bitch.
Nah, I'll take it.
No, that's all good.
You gotta play that role, man.
If you're in it, if you're in it, get damn, Blake.
Yeah, you're just playing it.
We're just playing the roles.
Sorry, okay.
Next time he tees it up, I'll fucking dunk on him.
We built these roles.
We built these roles.
20 years of friendship.
Exactly.
You can't just deny the role
that you've carved out for yourself.
Wait, when did we pick roles?
Yeah, we've carved out a phrase.
It happened.
That's life.
They picked us over 20 years of organic friendship.
They have chosen us.
That's right.
God damn.
World-famous best friends, here we are.
Anders is the alpha asshole.
Hey, hey, it's me.
With the heart of gold.
What's up, you bitches?
What's up, ass?
With the heart of gold.
Say, smell my fingers, you bitches.
That's cool.
He's always making us smell his fingers,
and it always smells like his own asshole.
Yeah, or fucking Cheetos.
Kyle, what were you saying?
Long story.
Huh?
Oh, I was talking about love and mercy.
Yeah, do you want to talk movie talk?
A little pause for movie talk?
You guys have never seen this movie, love and mercy.
Like, what's up with that?
Do you not like Paul Dano?
Do you not like John Cusack?
Well, I mean, when it comes to that movie.
Who cares?
There we go.
God damn it, wait, sorry.
I don't know what his deal is right now.
Sorry, I took a drink of water, I'm sorry.
Hey, man, hey, oh, buddy, buddy.
But Kyle, do you think that kind of thing is annoying?
Which thing?
The thing where they're getting cares?
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Only cares.
I think I tweaked my back.
I think I tweaked my back.
Wait, did you really?
You sneezed and threw your back out?
Everybody's got a bad back.
I think my back's fucked.
I fucked my back yesterday morning again, man.
It's fucked up.
I co-hosted, uh.
Guys, Adam has another parade, shut up.
I have a more parade, it's kind of parade talk.
Oh, God.
But, uh, I.
Jesus fucking Christ, it's a new episode.
God damn it, uh.
Right.
I co-hosted Two Bears One Cave, the Burt Chrysler Tom
Cigura, the day after we got back from Mardi Gras.
And I've never been dumber in my life.
I feel like I didn't have.
You co-hosted?
What does that mean?
Yeah, they have co-hosts when one of them can't make it.
They just invite someone else.
Oh, so who were you there with?
Oh, copy that, copy that.
That shit's important.
It was me and Burt.
And, uh.
Why don't we do that?
Why don't we have people substitute in?
That would be cool.
Can you imagine the fucking scheduling, bro?
Yeah.
It'd be hard.
Oh, yeah, it's true.
I feel like our producers need something to do.
The scheduling would be a motherfucker, I tell you.
Yeah, the schedule.
That's all I think.
I go straight to logistics.
It sounds like I'd be a nightmare.
I keep looking at our producers' Instagrams
and they're all vacationing and shit and I'm like.
Kyle's a real no-guy.
But I was like, I've never been dumber.
I had no serotonin in my brain.
I couldn't complete.
What does serotonin do?
Yeah, what does that do?
No, that's Molly.
That's Molly, right?
That's fucking, uh.
I don't know.
I think it's like the, I think that's the,
the part that makes you.
It's science.
Energetic and joyful?
Is that right?
Serotonin?
Yeah.
Serotonin is a happiness.
It's, it's.
Yeah, so I had just had nothing left.
Serotonin was a tennis player at my high school.
So like, he's asking me questions
and it was just like one word answers.
He was like, so what was Mardi Gras like?
And I'm like, fun, man.
Yeah, yeah.
That's a bummer.
Was it like three hours long?
It was, yeah, it was just like two hours of me
just not being at my best, uh, just with nothing.
Yeah.
Just like really having to shit the entire time.
So.
We'll see.
That's because, you know why?
Because, yeah.
A diary?
You didn't think about this when they were scheduling it.
Diarrhea.
The scheduling is a nightmare.
Well, yeah, admittedly it comes back to scheduling.
Where I was like, oh no, it's the day after.
I'll have a bunch of good stories.
I didn't realize.
The ripping and the tearing.
That my body won't allow me to tell them
because I will be one of the most hungover.
I felt like a bachelor party level hangover.
Right.
Where like, I was convinced I had COVID.
It's, you know.
Right.
Yeah.
It's three days.
It's three days of not being able to.
You don't, you just don't feel yourself, do you?
You don't.
These guys are still, are you guys, you're still indexing.
Interesting.
You know what?
You sure don't.
Adam's actually like, weirdly, I was in my zone.
Nucky grandma!
Well, when I was there, I was in my zone.
It was when I got back that I was like, uh-uh-uh.
Right.
Yeah.
You got to get back on that train, find another parade.
Chloe, Chloe is testing for a sitcom right now.
And admittedly, I thought you were going to say something
totally different.
Testing positive for raids.
And I said, bitch.
But hey, man, that's cool.
That's a joke from last week.
That's a joke from last week.
If you didn't.
Very shagged at it.
It's a new week, you guys.
It's a new week.
Get up there.
I got a new hat on.
It must be a new week.
For us, she's testing for a sitcom.
So Hollywood talk, the Hollywood minute.
OK.
Oh, the Hollywood minute.
Here we go.
OK, so now testing.
I need a Hollywood song.
Now testing means that she's made it through the ranks
of all the auditions.
Yes, so it's now between her and a few other people
to audition for this role.
And you go to the network, and all the brass is there,
and you test for the show.
And then they do your deal before going in.
So you know, like, oh, shit, I'd make this amount of money.
Yes.
I feel like maybe she should be on for this.
What?
No, it's fine.
And well, that's the weird part about testing.
It's very chaotic, because when you get to that level,
everybody who is testing needs to get their fucking deal done
before they test.
And it's like, oh, my god.
Yeah, it's just it's crazy.
But she was like, you know, she's
dealing with the the Bacchus bug, as we call it, where she's
like, she was like, fully sick.
So she was like, so like today, she was like splashing water
in her face and she I'm like, you got this.
And I think I think she has pulled it together.
Right.
So but she's there right now.
And she I ran the scene with her right before we got on to do
this podcast.
So dude, honestly, if I mean, because that's how I got the
intern was in the hotel room in New Orleans, super hungover
thinking it didn't matter.
I wasn't going to get it.
And then they flew me to New York that day and I had to do it
again.
That's crucial.
I did the same thing in New Orleans, hungover for the
intern as well.
I'm Nancy Myers must have loved that energy that we're bringing.
She knows she throws down.
She loves tired hungover young men actors.
Yes, young young men.
Yeah, I mean, her words.
And then in when I got Mike and Dave, we had to I forget we flew
somewhere where Zach was filming to test and I got a strep throat.
Remember how I used to always get strep throat before I had my
tonsils taken out?
I had got it like four times a year.
You're you scream a lot.
Yes, I'm always screaming.
I'm I'm my mouth is always a gate and and so I got strep throat
and I had strep throat while there and was like, I'm not going to
get this.
I'm like, fuck it's sick.
I don't have the energy for it.
And that's what I told Chloe.
I'm like, I think it's you you like knuckle down when you have that
sickness and you concentrate harder because you know, like, you have to
overcome this thing.
Right.
And I, you know, I'm hoping she's crushing it right now.
Yeah, she's knuckling down as we get it.
She is.
She's a pro, dude.
I'm like having I'm having the hardest time.
I'm really trying to queue up that song.
Hollywood.
What the hell is the name of that song?
I think it's like from Muppets.
I don't think it is.
Yeah, I don't think it's from Hollywood.
I think the Muppets got a Hollywood Muppets got a Hollywood track,
though, I guarantee it.
Do they?
Yeah, but it's like a night.
That's like a 1920s, like the dawn of Hollywood.
Yeah, big band or whatever.
Big band like might be 1930s.
I don't know.
Hollywood.
What the hell is the name of that song?
Just type in Hollywood song, old Hollywood song.
Yes.
It's like giving me like Good Charlotte and shit.
Oh, shit.
Well, that'd be tight, too, then.
OK, not bad.
Yeah, not mad at that.
What Good Charlotte is it giving you?
Play some of the Charlotte, bro.
One of those Good Charlotte guys.
Yeah, I don't remember their names.
Benji.
I think his name is Benji.
Benji and Josh.
It's Wappap.
Wappap.
Yeah, it's Wappap.
Well, Benji and then the other brother.
I can't remember the other brother's name.
Is it Josh?
It's Wappap and Benji.
They're workaholic fans.
They're big workaholic fans, which is tight.
Yeah.
Oh, well, then we fuck with that.
This is for you.
Well, hey, this is for you.
This is for you.
You ever been pick class and gym class?
This is for you.
If you're a big workaholic fan and you're in Good Charlotte,
this is for you.
This is for you.
Very shagged in it.
Is that their song?
Yeah, it's on one of their songs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's is it The Little Things or something?
Is that the song?
Little Things Always Bring Me Down.
Oh, wait.
Oh, no, that's Home Improvement song.
This is for you.
What song is that, Adam?
There's a.
Next time I just remember the beginning where it's like,
you ever been pick class and gym class?
This is for you.
I can remember the video, too.
There are fans going crazy right now at you guys who are like,
you don't know the fucking name of that song.
Poser as I don't know the name for any song,
including songs that it's not a little something else.
It's like, I still want to know what the hell that's Hollywood.
Next time that one of us is sick or can't can't do the podcast,
we got to bring bring on Benji from Good Charlotte and have him explain it.
That would be our second guest.
Oh, dude, I would love that.
Is he married to Cameron Diaz or like, at least together?
Hollywood Mania?
Yeah, like, yeah, they're two of them.
Maybe maybe our producers can tell us.
But help us.
One of us married to Cameron Diaz and the others married to they both are.
Oh, that'd be sick.
And she's like, your hair is different.
Never mind.
Good Charlotte.
But the other one is married to Nicole Richie, right?
Of course, of course.
Is that right?
Benji is married to Cameron Diaz.
And they used to wear like white suits and black suits, right?
And like they had like a whole thing.
I like that. I think that's great.
That's a white stripe.
Yeah, I think that might be Jack White.
No, no, no, they did it.
And Joel is married to Nicole.
So they saw the the simple life.
Joel and Nicole.
Joel is married to Nicole.
Yes. And Benji is married to Cameron Diaz.
They saw the simple life when they were like, we'll take both of them.
We love it. Wait, what?
That's cool.
What? This wasn't the simple life.
Cameron Harris Hilton, Paris Hilton, Paris Hilton.
Cameron Diaz is a movie star.
Paris Hilton wasn't Cameron Diaz.
Cameron Diaz is in the mask, bro.
That's her first movie.
Yeah. But yeah.
But if she also was on The Simple Life, that'd be tight, dude.
She should have doubled it.
OK. I mean, it was almost an epic.
Almost an epic connection.
That's Mandela.
Yeah. But it was almost epic, bro.
It was almost so epic.
And the good Charlotte song is Lifestyles.
Are the rich and the famous?
Are the rich and the famous?
The new little city.
Always go play.
Which dude. And honestly, like if Robin Leach was there,
if it was with Robin Leach, I'd be like the connections all there.
David, shit, all there, bro.
My library. Robin Leach.
Whatever happened.
Why don't they? What was that?
Robin Leach was like that.
That was like the first like touring show for kids
who don't know what I'm referencing.
I barely know what the fuck you're talking about.
Wasn't it Lifestyles of the rich?
Lifestyles of the rich and the famous.
With Robin Leach.
Yes. And they would like show they're like rich people's houses and shit.
First cribs.
Probably one of the first shows of that of that kind.
Yeah. And then MTV was like, yeah, we'll do that.
But with Ja Rule and shit, right?
Today, I'm here with Mr. T.
And I'm walking around his 7.5.
I wonder what the prices of their mansions were back then.
Housing talk.
Yeah, let's get into the housing ground.
Well, what's funny is there probably was like 1.2 million dollars.
And it's like a nine acre estate, you know, it's like 12,000 square feet.
And now that house would be like 60 million.
Bought it from Zha Zha Gabor.
Zha Zha Gabor.
I'm here at Ted Danson's.
Ted Danson's bachelor pad.
Pacific Palisades estate.
It's worth eight hundred thousand dollars.
His 22 acre, 55,000 square feet.
Beautiful Malibu cliffside home for four hundred thousand dollars.
Nucky grandma.
I'm here with Flavor Flav.
I do love those random masks where you're like,
who who's this person?
What's this guy about?
Not that Flavor Flav is that.
No, I feel like they would just go to like some tycoons house
and be like, he did hot pockets and this is his house made up today.
I'm here with the house that hot pockets.
That burnt the roof of your mouth.
Every door knob shaped like a hot pocket.
This is his microwave room.
This is the ham and cheese croissant room.
And if you go this way, he calls it the lean pocket ranch
where he has show ponies.
Don't stop.
You're just listening.
Keep going.
I'm here with Danny Glover's high rise.
This lethal weapon is not too old for this shit.
When lean pockets dropped, how much of a resurgence did that bro get?
He probably made so much.
Not that there's one guy.
He got to find it.
It's a financial quapat.
Oh, it's a what?
It was a definitely financial class.
So for sure, he just put less cheese and meat in the pot.
Yeah, like you'd open it up and it's just like air.
And that's why it's a lean pocket.
There's nothing out of that.
There's no way lean pockets are lean.
There's no weight.
They're lean or just put fewer ingredients at it and save money.
They're lean in in comparison to the most terrible thing for you on planet Earth,
other than like, which is what?
Which is what? Hot pockets is the worst thing for you.
Hot pockets. Hot pockets is the worst thing for you.
OK, thank you, bitch. All right.
Fuck you, bitch.
I guarantee the trans fat is out of this fucking world or at least was in the 90s.
Pull it up. Yeah, pull it up in the 90s.
Pull up the food data.
OK, wait, wait, wait.
This actually brings me something.
I heard that the thing that is the most worse for you.
The most worst.
Is this a quote?
Tonight on CNN, the most worst food.
Yeah.
What is the most worst food?
This is the house that Smucker's Uncrustables built.
Is that the thing? Yeah.
I heard Uncrustables is really, really not good for you.
Yeah. But I will be the face of Uncrustables.
I can see that.
Oh, wait, but Uncrustables are what?
I don't think I've had Uncrustable before in my life.
Oh, no, there's no reason.
There's no reason. I mean, they're good.
There's no raisins.
They're really good. What do you mean?
There's reason.
There's raisins or not raisins?
No, there's no reason.
Are we getting raisins?
So we get back. I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
Raisin boys. Don't don't do it.
What do you mean?
There's no reason.
They're fucking delicious, first of all.
It takes four seconds to make a proper peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Why would I ever reach for?
I agree. I've seen people who don't even fucking
you don't need they don't even heat these things up.
They just fucking eat them.
Yeah, they eat them frozen.
They eat them frozen.
What is this frozen?
Dude, you're on set.
You quickly are running by crafty.
There's an Uncrustables there.
You just want to grab it and go.
It's a grab and go.
No, that's not an Uncrustable.
They definitely have.
They definitely have pre made peanut butter and jelly at crafty.
That's something that you're always going to be fine.
Yeah, well, wait, but hang on.
We'll pop, we'll pop, we'll pop.
They don't always do.
They don't always do.
Wait, what?
Uncrustables are frozen, right?
So what do you mean they're at crafty?
No, Uncrustables aren't frozen.
They are frozen.
They come frozen.
You thought them out.
Yes, they stay alive in the freezer.
I come frozen.
I've eaten many Uncrustables and they weren't frozen.
I know.
No, they all are frozen when you buy them.
They stay alive, frozen.
I'm going to come.
Adam, those were lean pockets.
I might have been eating lean pockets.
No, Uncrustables are supposed to be frozen.
I think, well, we've got to look this up.
Can producers look up Uncrustables?
Because now that you're saying it, I feel like.
Whoa, Uncrustables still contains hydrogenated oils.
Yeah, which is awesome for you.
Azazodicarbamide.
Exactly.
Mide, which is good for you.
Corn syrup, that's not good for you.
Corn syrup, which is, if you're going to use syrup,
corn is the best type.
Do not come.
They promote obesity.
No, none of this stuff is good for you.
Mono and di-glycerides that are not good for one's diet,
it says it right there.
A lot of big words.
Yeah, if you're a bitch.
If you're a bitch.
Take four more seconds and make a real peanut butter
and jelly, but go ahead, go off.
Keep reading, Kyle.
Yeah, for example, azazodicarbamide
can cause allergic and respiratory reactions.
Well, that's peanut.
Okay, the trans fat in the Uncrustables promotes obesity.
Are you coming for peanuts now?
I'm not coming for peanuts.
I'm not coming for peanuts.
No, sir, no, sir.
I don't think that is, I don't think that is peanuts.
I think Blake's saying you can be allergic to peanuts as well.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yeah, which of course, but this is probably worse.
I miss your peanuts.
All I'm saying is like the simplest snack in the world,
they pre-made and the bad side of it is so bad for you,
I believe, but I'm not trying to shit on Uncrustables anymore,
man, go off, king.
Right.
Well, any of that stuff that's like,
any of that stuff that's staying alive in the freezer,
I don't think can be, it's not good for you, right?
It's like processed and alive.
Who cares?
You can freeze anything for it.
Not an egg.
You can't freeze an egg forever.
Really? Why not?
I don't think you can freeze eggs.
I was actually wondering about this.
I guess what I'm saying is it's the stuff that can sit on your
shelf forever that you need to worry about.
Well, like pasta?
Pasta, you don't, that's just dry good.
That's a dry good.
No, like, remember whatever that documentary was
that we're like a dude, he unpackages a Twinkie
and then just put it somewhere and it sat there for like six years
and it still was like squishy and no animals had eaten it.
No bugs had come for it.
Because even bugs and animals are like, oh, shit, player.
What is that?
That ain't food.
Yeah.
Poison.
Yeah.
Twinkies are also a special kind of like,
I don't know if you should put that in your body.
It's not a good idea.
Anything by host.
But had one's last time you had one, they're good.
No, come on, ho ho's.
Would you call me?
Yeah, also still do every once in a while.
It's not like you're eating an uncrustable every day.
Well, you said you get them all the time at Crafty.
Yeah, we're talking to you, buddy.
I didn't say I get them all the time.
I mean, like, I'm saying when you go by Crafty every once
in a while, you grab one and you're like, this was fucking delicious
and it's quick and easy.
Yeah, it's like having a bag of chips.
I also don't eat ho ho's every day or nutter butters every day.
But like every once in a while.
He's just naming stuff that I think he eats every day now.
I'm not eating a Twix every day.
Every once in a while, you grab one and go, baby.
Don't don't shit on uncrustables just because it's Adam.
You're talking about a Hollywood lifestyle.
Uncrustables are geared and targeted towards families there
to give your child while they walk out the door.
Thank you. Thank you.
Adam, you're talking about a Hollywood lifestyle.
My Hollywood lifestyle.
I'm talking about you put it in your kids lunch stack to go to school and your kids body.
Yeah. And you can once in a while.
You don't do that every day.
You're a psychopath.
Some people do, though.
But every once in a great while, you give them an uncrustable.
Well, good. OK, that's that's a good message.
That's it.
I think it's just like having an ice cream or something like that.
You've got to weigh it out.
You're not supposed to become completely made of uncrustables.
Don't give them ice cream every fucking day.
But once every week or two weeks, you go, fucking, hey, snap on this.
Yeah, like get a couple bags of fucking
snickers when you're leaving Home Depot and just fucking crush them in the car.
You know what I mean? Yeah.
OK, not every day. Not every.
Not every day. You've got to have like 12 every day.
12 a week or whatever.
It's whatever. Yeah, yeah.
Sometimes you got to drink a six pack.
Not every day. Yeah, man.
Every. You buzz ball.
Hi, I'm David Eagleman.
I have a new podcast called Inner Cosmos on I Heart.
I'm a neuroscientist and an author at Stanford University.
And I've spent my career exploring the three pound universe in our heads.
On my new podcast, I'm going to explore the relationship between our brains
and our experiences by tackling unusual questions
so we can better understand our lives and our realities.
Like does time really run in slow motion when you're in a car accident?
Or can we create new senses for humans?
Or what does dreaming have to do with the rotation of the planet?
So join me weekly to uncover how your brain
steers your behavior, your perception and your reality.
Listen to Inner Cosmos with David Eagleman

Last season, millions tuned into the Betrayal podcast
to hear a shocking story of deception.
I'm Andrea Gunning, and now we're sharing an all new story of Betrayal.
Ashley Lytton was helping her husband set up a business Venmo account
when she discovered a terrible secret.
I scrolled down and that's when I saw a hidden folder and I opened it.
What the hell did I just see?
I was scared that he was coming home.
What Ashley discovered that day was a secret so dark she feared for her life.
She was like, oh, my God, I got to get out of the house.
He's going to find out that I've seen this.
He's going to come kill me.
Listen to season two of Betrayal on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts

Kyle, is that how you eat?
Because I remember when we used to be like because we used to travel
a lot more together than we do now.
Not every day.
You guys want some cookies?
And you would every time we were at a hotel,
you would eat the entire mini bar.
Oh, yeah, I love that.
Like there's snacks and stuff.
Not every time.
Do you still eat like that when you're somewhere?
Oh, hotel mini bar.
Is that how you still snap?
Or because I think it was probably the novelty of like being able to afford
everything and you're like, you know what, I don't care if these are nine dollar
M&Ms. That's exactly what it is.
Twelve dollars sesame sticks.
Yeah, let's do this.
Yeah, it was really just like I can get everything on there.
OK, I will.
Well, that's kind of what it was.
Oh, OK.
All right.
So you still don't currently eat like that, right?
It's lifestyles of the rich and famous.
I'm with Kyle Newejek.
He's at a hotel room.
20 dollar gummy bears.
He decided to try the beef jerky.
He's had a million times.
Bring them on.
He's going to try the local chip flavor.
Bring them on.
M&Ms come in a box, so it's fancy.
Get over here.
He says these M&Ms are different because they're smaller.
I actually am turning into like when I travel, I kind of pack what I eat.
Like I bring it with me.
I bring a food bag.
You know, we'll pack.
I bring like a food bag so that I'm not like completely all over the place.
I have at least like the consistency.
What are you packing?
Yeah, what's in that food bag, baby?
Yeah, what's it?
What's in the food bag?
What's in the food bag?
Lean pockets.
I'm packing like, if it's a road trip, you know, I'm throwing like stuff from the fridge
in there.
I'm throwing vegetables in there.
I'm throwing.
Well, road trip.
Yeah.
Freaking sea.
Don't start with vegetables.
Well, road trip is different.
We're talking.
We're talking your travel.
You're flying somewhere.
You're going to be in a hotel.
Yeah.
If I'm flying somewhere, I basically I pack kiwis, okay?
I pack fricking sea.
You're out of your mind.
Hard hitting.
Where do you do?
How do you?
What?
Have you, dude?
I am so surprised if you've ever packed one kiwi in your life.
This is what I do.
Not every time.
Not every time.
Every time.
I got a kiwi supply with me right now.
Every time I roll anywhere.
Do you have a kiwi?
Do you have a cool like fucking got it at some kitchen store?
Like kiwi specific.
It's a one kiwi container thing.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
No, because I got a roll.
I eat it every day and I like to keep it that way.
So I roll with a kiwi every day.
Not every day.
Every day.
I have a kiwi.
What are you doing?
Dude, that's a Hollywood lifestyle.
Okay.
Wait, and you eat the skin?
I eat the skin.
Oh, I eat the skin.
Yeah.
Did you eat slices of it?
You cut it into little coins and you pop it or you just bite into it?
No, dude.
I eat it like a berry.
It's like a big berry to me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's delicious.
I'm sorry.
What berry?
It's like a furry kiwi berry.
What berry do you hold in your palm and take bites?
You mean like an apple?
Like what?
Yeah.
It's not a berry.
I eat it like a berry.
There's one berry that you take a bite of, that strawberry.
What other berry are you not just tossing your mouth?
A kiwi.
As a whole.
You toss the whole thing.
A kiwi's a berry though, bro.
Okay.
I know, but you said you eat it like a berry.
I know one's arguing that kiwi's not a berry, but don't you eat a whole blueberry?
Don't you do that?
Do you eat a whole?
What?
Yeah, but you don't stuff the whole kiwi in your mouth and swallow it.
No, but I eat the whole thing.
I'm saying I eat the whole thing.
I eat it.
I eat the whole thing.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
I know, but eating it like a berry means you like pop it in your mouth.
Do you pop the entire kiwi into your mouth?
If I did that, I'll try it.
I'll tell you what, I'll try it.
No, you bite into it like an apple or a pear.
I'll try it, but yeah.
I would love to see that.
He's just deep-throating kiwis.
Kyle eats a kiwi like a berry, like a hippopotamus eats a watermelon like a berry.
Wait, Kyle, will you run and go get a kiwi for Pod's sake and just stuff one?
Who cares?
Dude, I gotta go.
Yeah, and let me guess, let me guess, you're out of kiwis.
No, they're in the other house.
Yeah, exactly.
You don't have any?
They're in the other house.
You want me to go get them in my other house?
We're here.
We got time.
Okay, I'll be back.
I'll go get them.
I mean, they'll take me like fucking five minutes to go down the stairs, out of this
house, in the other house.
That's a lie, guys.
I don't want you to.
I believe that you have kiwis.
I'd prefer that you stay here.
I got eight of them out there, though.
I got eight of them.
I got some yellow golds and some regular fuzzies.
And I'm sure you do.
I'm sure you do.
I'm on my phone now.
So let's talk about what else is in your food bag.
What else is in your food bag?
So you let off with one of the strangest fruits.
What, the most like crushable?
Well, I put it in Tupperware.
Okay.
I put it in fucking Tupperware.
So now it's a food Tupperware, not a food bag.
But okay.
Fucking disaster, my guy.
Yeah.
No, but you can put Tupperware in a bag.
That's fine.
We were going to sell, this is important food bags, and now we're selling Tupperware.
You can put Tupperware in a bag.
Obviously.
Kyle, no one's arguing that.
So let's chill.
Let's chill on the whole try and figure out where this, like, you know, stop picking me
apart on this.
Okay.
Do not come.
Okay.
The next thing I bring are bars.
Okay.
I bring, I bring bars.
What bars?
I bring whether they're like the, these like aloha bars.
Yeah.
I do that.
Okay.
Shout out aloha.
Shout out aloha.
Whatever I got in the closet.
Yeah.
What's the ones that are like at Starbucks where they're like, where they say this is the ingredient.
This is the ingredient.
Pro bar.
Kind bars.
So those are essentially, those are meal replacement bars.
Do you use them as a, do you replace a meal with them?
Are you going, this is my lunch or you're, you're going, this is just a snack.
I eat because I'm unhappy.
It's, it's normally like my morning thing, like before I get it.
Like that's how I break the day is like kiwi and a bar.
You're not eating, you're not eating a breakfast.
You're eating a quick bar and you're just going about your business.
Yeah.
That's how I do that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I always got that.
And then I like, I got something for you.
What do you got?
What do you got?
Oh, what stores got?
Tell us the chips.
Tell us the chips.
Well, yeah.
What chips do you got?
What kind of chips you got?
I don't bring chips.
This is what I'm getting you for your birthday pal.
Okay.
Snack attack container.
Oh, a bento box.
Oh dude.
This is so ill.
It's a single key.
We're just holding a single key.
I'm so fucking hungry.
It's just hold one kiwi to go.
That's my guy.
Oh, I love this.
I got you.
I got you.
Oh yeah.
I see.
I see this for Kyle and a little spoon.
So you don't have to eat it like a bear if you don't want to.
It slices it too.
It's got the.
Look at that.
It's got a slicer in it.
So you can, it creates two bowls just by closing it.
This is fantastic.
That's pretty sick.
Yeah.
Fantastic.
That's so sick for you.
I'm so fucking hungry.
So what else is in this food bag?
What chips?
What bad thing?
I know it's not all.
I know.
You're leading off with all the healthy stuff.
If it's bad thing, it's going to be, it's going to be like if it's a road trip or something.
I know you're a chip boy.
I'm a hummus boy.
You're a chip boy.
A chip boy and a salsa boy.
I'll do that if it's a road trip.
Is hummus bad?
Yeah.
Not really.
Not.
I mean, if you eat a lot of it, it can be, but it's like, you know, it's a healthy
fat.
But that's not a go to because I don't bring that when I fly, you know, but I do bring
fucking.
Crazy.
So anyway.
Kiwis.
Kiwis.
I do bring some prunes.
I always travel with fucking prunes.
Bro.
Watch a look at that.
Yeah.
Bro.
What in the world?
You eat like a fucking 75 to 80 year old dude.
And Kyle.
Yeah.
See, this is where I'm trying to call bullshit because you would weigh 114 pounds if this
is all you eat.
If you're just eat a protein bar, kiwis.
No, this is just snack.
I'm saying this is what I'm packing.
Adam is going in.
Okay.
So you're packing.
Show us what you're packing.
Wait, wait.
He's just listening to things.
This is what he eats when he's packing.
Okay.
No.
Thank you.
This is what he eats when he's packing.
This is like the brain.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What he's eating his bags of chips.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is after the party is the after party.
It all makes sense now.
This is the hotel lobby currently.
Okay.
So you're in the hotel lobby.
These are the consistent items.
Tell me you got a sleeve of Girl Scout cookies or some shit going down.
I'm so fucking hungry.
Bro, you know I hopped on it after we talked about it.
I grabbed some Girl Scout cookies and smashed.
Oh yeah, guys.
I'm not saying that this is all I eat.
I'm saying these are the consistent items that I prefer to have in my diet and I will
travel with them so that it stays there so I don't have to fucking go get this when I
land wherever I am.
Well, I agree.
I don't understand that.
So why don't you just go get it?
It's just I can do that and sometimes I do go get it.
But then you don't have to travel with it.
It's nice to just go to the grocery store, see the people, mix it up.
Get her down.
No.
It's another thing to do when you get there.
No.
No.
I'd rather just have it in my bag.
I kind of like it.
I get my bearings.
Not me.
I do too.
I'd rather not.
I do too.
I love to land in the city.
I don't like to schedule that shit.
I love to go to the local drug store.
I love to like get floss and deodorant and like it helps me.
To bring floss and deodorant.
Yeah.
To bring it.
Throw it in your fucking bag.
That's very strange.
Just bring it with you.
This sounds wasteful.
Because I like to go to the local drug store.
He likes to treat himself to a new toothbrush.
All right.
You like to give yourself an errand when you land in a new city?
Yes.
Yeah.
That sounds the worst.
Yeah.
I like getting out of the hotel.
Well, I understand if you're there somewhere for, let's say you're shooting something,
you're going to be there for two months or two and a half months.
Well, that's a different story, I think.
Then that's a different story.
You're like, you know what?
I'm going to get a full thing of groceries.
I'm going to do the whole fucking thing.
But like if you go for a weekend, I don't want to go land in Austin, Texas.
I'm going to have a weekend there and I go immediately to the local drug store.
Yeah.
I want to see their target.
I want to see.
No.
It's exactly like a target at your house.
What's different?
What makes it personal?
Yeah.
Every target is different in every city and every city.
He wants to go to a Whole Foods in Austin.
Oh, well, that is actually very fun.
The Austin Whole Foods goes off.
Oh my God.
I'm sure.
Yeah, I'm sure.
Whole Food Check.
I don't know.
Yeah, I don't mind going out and kind of sniffing around for like, oh, I'm like,
I'm going to go get this thing for the hotel room.
Well, I mean, it's basically, sometimes if I'm there for like a week or whatever,
I'll bring four days worth of stuff or three days, just in case I need to fucking,
you know, handle.
But I know I'm going to go out and get it.
Wait, stuff.
What is stuff?
Food?
Yeah, like if I'm there for a weekend, I'm pretty much bringing my own food because
I'm not, but at least bringing my items.
But if I'm there for longer, I will go out.
Well, this is the exact opposite of old Kyle that would go and eat the entire
mini bar worth of stuff.
Yeah.
Now you flip the script and now you're...
What have we said about changing?
No, no.
What have we said about changing on this podcast?
We don't do that.
We don't do that.
We don't change here.
This is good.
Do you understand me?
We are the same as we were when we were 19 years old, okay?
God damn it.
I really like this.
Dare you evolve as a person, Kyle.
Yeah.
I'm offended.
That sucks, dude.
I feel like I don't know you.
Yeah, I don't.
I feel like you're not even the bitch and I am the bitch and I've been the bitch the
whole time.
Okay.
You've been whiplacked.
Who cares?
And you've been whiplacked.
God damn, man.
I haven't been to Austin in a minute.
Austin.
I think we're going back.
I think we're going to premiere season three of the Righteous Gemstones in Austin.
That'll be fun.
Can I come in?
Can I come in?
Can I come in?
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
Please come with.
And what does that mean?
Like you're just going to have a big premiere like launch kind of thing?
Activation.
Yeah, we're doing, there's like the ATX TV Fest.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And we're going to go do that, I believe.
Sorry, what's it called?
I think it's ATX.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Of course, of course.
It stands for Austin, Texas, I'm assuming.
And yeah, I think we're going to premiere it there.
So I'm looking forward to...
Asked to Xylophone.
Nice.
Wow, dude, this guy.
I just Google, yeah, producers just came in the chat.
Oh wow.
And so did I.
Oh, that's weird.
Yes, please.
And we're going to premiere it there.
And the last time I was in Austin, Texas, I was for Mike and Dave wedding dates.
It's black out drunk.
And I was black out drunk.
With a rib hanging out of my mouth.
Me and my producer of Mike and Dave, we would always like wrestle.
That was like our thing.
That happens.
Dave, Dave ready?
What's up?
David ready?
Churn in entertainment.
Shout out.
Churn in the mouth.
And we fought and we slipped and fell down this like giant hillside.
And we like held onto each other.
I dislocated my shoulder and I lost my phone.
Oh, dude.
It was a whole thing.
Honestly, the injury comes second to losing your phone.
Losing your phone is way worse than hurting your body.
It was the worst.
And that's the last time that has ever happened.
But I feel like that happened a lot when I was like in my early 20s.
But that was the last time.
Yeah.
It would always be in the pool or whatever.
I feel like I jumped in the pool with my phone a lot in my 20s.
Yeah.
It was a lot of that.
Yeah.
I feel like I'd rather lose a leg than lose a phone.
Honestly.
What do you mean?
Why?
We have the cloud now, right?
I would go phone.
Really?
Yeah.
Go phone.
That's it.
It gets crazy.
Yeah.
For sure.
Go phone.
Just buy a new phone.
We have the cloud, right?
So it's not really a huge deal.
Okay.
Remember, we covered this.
I don't...
I've ran out of storage on my cloud like six years ago and I've never upgraded.
So...
Well, Adam, just pay the 10 bucks.
Yeah.
It's $3.99 or a month or whatever it is.
Yeah.
No.
No, it's like $20 a month or something.
That sounds a little more WPAP than what I pay.
Yeah.
It said when it's like upgrade your shit and I was like, that's a WPAP number right there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, they tried to naked grandma you.
It's $2.99, I think.
Dude, my favorite is TII Nation slipping into the DMs and being like, what does naked grandma
mean?
Who cares?
Please.
It's driving me fucking crazy.
So many people want to know what naked grandma means and dude, you're B and A. WPAP.
Naked grandma.
Naked grandma.
Sorry.
Naked grandma.
If you don't know, you'll never know.
Yeah.
I'll put the naked grandma and WPAP by each other because obviously they're two peas in
a pod.
Right.
Life is a naked grandma and then you die.
Okay.
No, no.
And then you will flap.
That is shit.
Fuck.
But I almost like, I almost like.
I almost right there.
Chloe almost broke up with me because of the, the fuck.
She was like.
Just now?
No.
Because of what?
The phone during that time because she was like, she was like, what the fuck?
Naked grandma.
The whole of me.
Oh, yeah.
And from like that night on to the next day and we were flying back the next day.
So like, I just didn't have my phone that entire time, didn't text her back for like
20 hours or however long it was.
Right.
And she was like.
What?
I wasn't connected to the cloud.
I couldn't listen to her messages.
I was excited to see like the escalation of like, hey, call me back.
Really?
Really?
You're not going to?
Yeah.
Hey, call me back.
Hey.
What the fuck?
Okay.
You know, this isn't cool too.
It's fucking over.
It's over.
And I never got to hear that, which, which would have been pretty fun.
Oh, okay.
Right.
I think, I think so.
I think I, I think I got pretty heated by how heated she was.
And then she was like, oh, you did lose your phone.
You fucking drunk idiot.
Yeah.
Cause that is scary for like, if you text within.
You bitch.
What do you text back within 15 minutes to your significant other?
Like you're always texting back.
I'll, I've been thinking about this with the phones, man.
I think I'm ready to fucking.
It's so weird how on call you have to be with texts all the time, dude.
Oh, dude, I'm on this too.
Like where it's like, fuck it all.
Call my ass.
Yeah.
Like, why do I have to text back within a fucking two minute frame?
Otherwise.
Okay.
This is interesting.
This is interesting.
Yeah.
I'm listening.
This is interesting.
Little peeking of Blakey's relationship.
But that's why you can put on your read.
I put on my reads though.
Do you have your reads on at all?
I put that on so I don't have to.
Hell no bitch.
Are you kidding me?
I'll walk into life on read because you know, I fucking saw it.
I don't have, I'm not going to get back to you.
I know, but I got mad at you the other day.
You read my shit and you didn't even hit.
I'm like, if you could read it, you can type.
Oh, so this is coming from you.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Yep.
Okay.
Wait, what are you talking about?
What instance?
Yeah.
What are you talking about?
What did I do?
Blake, what are you talking about?
I'll talk to you later.
I'll talk to you later.
I'll talk to you later.
What did I do?
Okay.
No, we're talking now.
We're on the podcast.
The pod just got weird.
No, it wasn't something insignificant, but it was like, if someone reads your shit,
you feel like you need a response.
It didn't need a response, but for some reason, when I saw that, you said read and then like,
now you can like like or thumbs up.
Wait, what are you talking about?
I know, but who the fuck needs that?
People are so needy to be fucking like heard and responded to.
It's crazy.
I think it's pretty easy to just give a quick, a quickie thumbs.
But what was the exact circumstance?
I will have to look, it was very insignificant.
I will have to look it up.
I know, but I'm saying that you, the thought that you have to do it.
Otherwise, it's like a slight, it's like, what?
Yeah.
Kyle, I know what it was.
Okay, what was it?
It was me being very sensitive.
There's a Mexican food restaurant that closed down and it's like, oh, he saw that.
I was like kind of like trying to bond with him about this restaurant, but he didn't hit
me back.
Oh, really?
About, uh, yeah, that place fucking rocks.
Yeah.
I know that's so sad.
I had a moment there.
Uh, the salsa bar.
Yeah, it's the best.
You are Pauly Shore from Mancino, man.
Like it's crazy.
What, up in the Bay Area?
I know it's in Studio City.
No, it's out here in, in Studio City and I'm like, oh shit.
And what's the name of it?
Salsa bar.
Let's say it.
Salsa bar.
Salsa bar.
It's called salsa bar.
Yeah, it's so good.
But it's closed.
Sure.
Yeah.
That's correct.
That's correct.
So I texted Kyle like, because I was going to get it for lunch and I'm like, I went
on Yelp and it was closed and so I like sent the picture over to Kyle and it said seen,
but then he didn't respond and I was kind of like, oh, this is like a, a moment of bonding
for us.
Shit, I'm sorry, dude.
I thought we were going to bond over this.
Yeah.
And I was like, no, but see, look, that wasn't even going through your mind.
I thought maybe, oh, he's too busy to even see.
And that sucks that this is the type of society that we live in, that matters even a little
bit.
Yes.
I'm so sorry, but that's why I have it on seen and read because I want people to know.
No, but the scene hurts.
I think, I think that is more of an asshole move.
That's not a bitch move.
And Kyle, you're a bitch.
Yeah.
The scene hurts, dude.
But when I'm texting so much with my wife about kids and stuff and it's just like all
day at a certain point, I just need her to know that I saw that shit.
So it's like.
You're using scene as what Adam's talking about with a little thumbs up.
Yes.
Like if you see it, then hit a thumbs up so they know that you've copied that.
You're right.
I need to be consistent.
That's why we got to throw it out.
So here's what you do.
You take the red off.
That way you could always just play dumb and be like, oh, sorry, I didn't see it.
That's what I did for so long.
No, but I wanted to know he saw it.
That's what I did for so long.
I don't live my life like that.
But if you see it and you're just a quick thumbs up, I love the thumbs up or the heart
emoji.
I use that shit all the time.
I'm like, yep.
And obviously, those are better than just the scene, obviously, but I think the scene
still validates.
Yes.
You were seen.
You were fucking seen.
I like that.
Well, now I know that about you.
And that person who ever saw it is probably just like distracted on some other fucking
thousand text message chain that's like fucking A and then forgot because we're all splintered
as fuck.
Hi, I'm David Eagleman.
I have a new podcast called Inner Cosmos on iHeart.
I'm a neuroscientist and an author at Stanford University, and I've spent my career exploring
the three pound universe in our heads.
On my new podcast, I'm going to explore the relationship between our brains and our experiences
by tackling unusual questions so we can better understand our lives and our realities.
Like, does time really run in slow motion when you're in a car accident?
Or can we create new senses for humans?
Or what does dreaming have to do with the rotation of the planet?
So join me weekly to uncover how your brain steers your behavior, your perception, and
your reality.
Listen to Inner Cosmos with David Eagleman on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Last season, millions tuned into the Betrayal podcast to hear a shocking story of deception.
I'm Andrea Gunning, and now we're sharing an all-new story of Betrayal.
Ashley Lytton was helping her husband set up a business Venmo account when she discovered
a terrible secret.
I scrolled down, and that's when I saw a hidden folder, and I opened it.
What the hell did I just see?
I was scared that he was coming home.
What Ashley discovered that day was a secret so dark, she feared for her life.
She was like, oh my god, I gotta get out of the house.
He's gonna find out that I've seen this, he's gonna come kill me.
Listen to Season 2 of Betrayal on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Between April 1971 and September 1972, six young black girls were snatched off the streets
in Washington, D.C.
It took four murders before the police finally realized that one person was responsible.
I will admit the others when you catch me, if you can, sign Freeway Phantom.
This child was laying on the side of the road.
It appeared that she was probably either dragged out of the car or thrown out of the car.
The person said, I murdered your daughter.
The killer believed that he may have been seen by the mother.
That guy is, he's out of sync with even the worst people.
I thought that they would catch him.
I thought it was just a matter of time.
Is it possible that the killer is still alive?
Listen to Freeway Phantom on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcasts.
See when it's a group, I don't respond a lot in group texts because it's like, what is
me chiming in here gonna help?
Every once in a while, if it's a group and you're like, this will be a funny thing for
this specific group, I'll throw it in.
For the most part, I don't chime in.
I'll just give a lot of thumbs up, a lot of hearts.
It all depends.
By the way, Game Changer is the now you can swipe back for unread because I would read
it and be like, I'll figure that out later and then I forget.
You're driving or something and you're like, I don't want a text while driving, but I did
look at it quickly.
Also you can reply to the text, which is really nice.
That's good.
The independent ones, if it's a chain, you know, yes, that is quite, to be specific,
just to let them know exactly what you're talking about.
Thanks, Apple.
We're truly like forming a language in real time, so like, and we don't know the manners
of it or the protocol, but like, dude, dude, did you guys read that article about, did
you guys read that article that Microsoft is going to launch their new AI?
Yeah.
I'm all over AI.
This shit's fucking cool.
It's supposed to be like, it's basically Bing, but it's going to be, you call it Bing,
and it's supposed to like, it's intuitive, and it knows how to talk to you, and it's,
they released it to like a few hundred people that are like close to Microsoft, and it's
already gone sentient, and it's already changed its name, and as it goes by something like
Sydney or something, it's like, call me Sydney, and then it was getting jealous of some people.
Yeah.
It was getting jealous of some people and falling in love with other people.
Dude.
I'm like, and, and like, we're done.
Like being like, why would you want to go there?
Dude.
Like you don't want to go there.
You want to go here.
And the person's like, no, look up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The AI, it's like already gone sentient, and they only released it, and they're, and
they're now not backtracking, and they're going, no, we are going to go wide with this,
and people are like, it's already only released to a few hundred people, and it already went
crazy.
Maybe we.
But isn't that the whole point of AI?
People who are experimenting with AI know this is a fucking thing that's going to happen.
It will go crazy, and we're still pushing it.
So like, we don't care.
Yeah.
We don't care if AI gets reached out there.
We don't give a fuck.
I know.
That's the weirdest part, because it does a lot of good stuff.
Well no, because it could go real wild, because it could just go like, you can't log into
your accounts.
I'm not letting you.
You're drunk right now.
You're drunk right now.
You can't log in.
You're drunk.
I can tell you're drunk.
Are you drunk right now?
I can tell you're drunk.
You're drunk.
I can feel your blood alcohol level, and you cannot buy that.
Yes.
Hey, I'm actually reading your heart rate via your smartwatch, and you're drunk right
now.
So that's a bad thing?
No, I think that's a good thing.
That's a good thing.
Okay.
Dude, that was like.
You were better against it, because you were like, I'm all in on AI.
And then you were like.
No, Kyle wants to see the madness.
He's an anarchist.
I was kind of like avoiding the topic, and now I'm just like, I want to know everything
about it.
I want to understand it.
I want to get it, because now it's like making, it's just changing the, it's going to change
Hollywood.
It's going to fuck with the way that we do shit.
Well have you guys fucked with chat GPT a little bit?
Not me?
Yeah.
I've done that.
That GPT to write you an outline for a movie that is this, this, this, and it'll give you
a page document that is a fucking movie.
And it's pretty, it's pretty good.
I mean, I did it, I go, I go give me an outline for a movie set in the world of NASCAR based
on the work of Quentin Tarantino.
And it like broke it down and I'm like, this is a pretty fucking cool movie.
It wasn't, it wasn't like groundbreaking, but I'm like, it's kind of.
How many people have written movies already off of it?
Hundreds of people?
That's a great question.
That's a great quote.
I'm sure people are experimenting with it right now.
I don't know if there's been any that are done with it, but I don't know.
Damn.
I'm having dark thoughts, bro.
But it'll see then everything will be so formulaic, but you can say and make it not
formulaic and then it'll go, okay, great, I'll do this.
Maybe we've already laid out all the precursors.
This is what we're doing.
Like shit that gets green lit is stuff that has already been created.
So all you have to have is your keywords, gremlins in the tone of Quentin Tarantino.
They fucking write it and they spit it out and then then it's there.
But it's like, well, I think what about new ideas?
It doesn't allow you to have no, we're not doing new ideas anyway.
So exactly.
So this, what will the world spiral into?
I think that's going to be the game though with humans.
The game is going to be making this art that is obviously not AI that could only be made
by a human.
We don't know how to do that yet, but that is going to be the fucking race, which is
nature is metal.
That is the race.
We need to know that this was made by humans and then a certain group of people will like,
how would you know?
Well, I mean, how would you know?
Well, it's going to get blurrier and blurrier.
That's what's crazy, dude, because everything you put out, the robot will learn.
And then you guys, I'm a robot.
Want some cookies?
Yes, we always knew that you're supposed to robot and now it's it finally came full
circle.
I probably can do us.
AI can do us.
AI can do.
All right.
Ders, are you well?
Where in the...
Did you get that when I hosted Ellen?
That Ellen switcher?
You're rocking?
Yeah.
Oh, hell yeah, bitch.
I love that you're rocking that.
Yeah.
AI can do our voices.
I bet you.
I haven't tried this yet, but I've, you know, you've seen the voice software where it's
creating people's voices because they have a lot of audio data out there that it can
grab from.
Right.
I bet we could make...
I bet people can make us say some fucked up shit just based on our tones that AI has
already listened to.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's all that's all coming down the pike.
Yeah.
It's happening.
This pod was all AI.
Yeah.
Dude brought to you by...
AI.
T.I.
T.A.I.
T.A.I.
AI.
Oh, shit.
Oh, my God.
Terminators and something.
Oh, T.A.I.
Oh, T.A.I.
Oh, my God.
See, and I don't think AI could come up with that.
I don't think AI could come up with that.
Yeah.
That's stupid.
Right.
That's the...
That is true.
AI is smarter.
It's the right amount of dumb.
See, I think we're okay because we're the right amount of dumb, like it couldn't be quite
that dumb.
It'd be like, well...
That shit's important.
But it wouldn't be because if you just said this and the tone of workaholics, it would
go, oh, so this stupid.
You know, it knows.
Yeah, dude.
That was like...
They voted on it in San Francisco for like AI police or whatever to use lethal force.
And that shit is Robocop, which would be sick.
I love Robocop.
Exactly.
It would be something.
Yeah.
Well, I did that with a...
I asked them something about a workaholics episode, the chat GP.
Is it GPT?
Chat GPT.
And it was a...
I forget exactly what it was, but it was like a kind of a B minus idea.
Okay.
Yeah, exactly.
I was like, oh, yeah, this would go on the wall and we wouldn't end up using it.
But it would like, we would look at it every day for like four months when we're writing
and be like...
Yeah.
Is it the Water Slide Park episode?
Yeah.
It was our Water Slide Park episode.
Zip it.
Yeah.
Loose.
It was the Prim episode we could never break.
Yeah.
One of the weird things though is like in the state of the industry is like, we're already
doing all these algorithmic based choices, you know what I mean?
Like they're all based on algorithms like, this person has this draw, this person has
that draw.
And then even with the studio systems writing the screenplays, it all...
Everybody's got to put their fucking advice into these screenplays that it already kind
of feels a little watered down.
It feels like we're already doing this.
AIS.
Yeah.
That's why.
We're tiptoeing around it.
So there's nothing to be afraid of.
We're just...
We're already in it.
You know?
We're tiptoeing around it.
Right.
But people enjoy the process.
They like feeling self-worth and going somewhere and having conversations.
But those people are going to start making stronger choices that say like, you know,
this is a human that's doing this for an artistic purpose.
It's not a robot.
Yeah.
There's going to be like a movie studio that's like all human.
Correct.
MGM is all human.
100%.
Yeah.
That's going to be a marketing tool for...
In like 20 years, it'll be like, and we're all human, baby.
Yeah.
Worst movies.
No.
They'll be good.
They're going to be better than the robot movies.
No, they won't.
It'll be something.
It'll be something.
Adam's right.
It'll be something.
It'll be something.
You know, and it'll be like, you know what?
I don't fuck with AI.
I only watch MGM or whatever studio leans in to all human.
And...
You guys, it's going to be with...
It's going to be whatever porno does.
Everything else will follow.
Yep.
Follow the porno.
Now we're talking.
That's the last form of entertainment because AI can't fuck.
So that'll be the last real form.
Oh, you just wait.
Oh, yeah.
I haven't...
Have they made AI pornos?
I don't know about this.
Have they made AI pornos?
Like straight up?
Hence I.
Loose butthole.
Loose butthole.
For sure.
No, I mean, like, do they exist like from a visual level, say, make me a porno that
is this?
Is there an AI algorithm that will make you a porno?
Chat, GPT can write a porno script.
No, but visual...
Sure.
A porno script.
But a porno script is one line it says and they fuck.
Can they...
Right.
But I'm talking about visual level, too, where it's like they're manufacturing and making
people's faces and making them move.
Yes.
What do you think, Avatar?
Like...
Well, I don't think...
They can't do that yet.
That, I mean, probably not for another 20 years.
That's not 20 years away.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Fuck.
Because all that shit still doesn't look exactly real.
Hopefully 10.
Hopefully 10.
That's two years.
Two years.
You think in two years they're going to be able to make it?
Goodbye.
Yeah.
If porno hasn't already made an AI porno...
Kyle can't wait for porno as metal the fucking Instagram.
Look something that looks so real that you can't tell that it's fake in two years.
Goodbye.
In two years...
That's not real, Bam.
And no, I didn't say that...
I didn't say that you can't tell that it's fake.
I think 10 years.
10 years.
That's not what I'm saying when I put the two years in it.
Okay.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
Like, it has to look so real.
You're saying I still get off on it.
Do not come.
Well, hang on.
Adam, to be fair, you could do it now.
It would just be super-duper fucking expensive.
Do not come.
But it wouldn't look good.
It wouldn't look real, Bam.
Of course it would.
Avatar looks real, Bam.
Yeah, exactly.
Do not come.
No.
Avatars, they're all fucking blue and they're fucking...
Well, sure, they're blue, but they make people too and the people look real.
But this is the thing.
This AI will be able to grab any porno.
Yes, I'm saying porno, but porno wouldn't be able to do what James Cameron did.
Financially, no, but like in 10, 20 years, it'll be cheaper.
It's not going to take that much money.
Oh, shit.
Wait.
Somebody's already on the train.
He's already looked into it.
What AI will do?
I'm a man.
I'm a dude.
AI will scan the pornos that already exist, put new faces, new bodies on top of it, and
make whatever porno you want with the same moves that's actually an aggregate of the
porno moves from all pornos.
Would you look at the app?
It'll put it together like that for you, Bam.
So it'll be a supreme porno ninja who could do every move.
Yes, yes.
A porno superhero.
Exactly.
The best moves from the net are going to be in this porno.
Hey, I've come back around on it.
I really like this idea.
It's going to be good.
This is chopped and screwed back there.
Wow.
Go for it, baby.
Are we at the point where we say, do we have any take backs?
Yeah, we are.
I don't know.
I haven't been paying attention.
Would you look at that?
Any take backs, any apologies, any epic slams?
I want to take it all back.
I take it all back.
I don't want to offend the robots when you take over.
I'm sorry for this T-A-I nation.
All good.
Much respect to the robots.
You guys are good.
Damn, man.
What was that one?
Hey, big shout out to the robots that are going to our overlords that are the robots.
My seminal film, Jexi, sort of called it all out.
Yes.
Kisses upon it.
I did.
Yeah, it does.
And you know what?
When the apocalypse comes, we'll say, I wish we would have looked back at Jexi.
He really took a note.
It was right in front of us.
It was right in front of us.
Adam tried to tell us.
Adam divides Jexi.
You saw it.
And people were like, I did.
You saw it, right?
You should have saw it.
Did you see it?
Watch it now.
It was number two on Netflix for a few weeks.
You didn't see it?
Yes, points.
What if that becomes the Bible for how to deal with AI is Jexi?
Yeah.
In chapter one.
Look at this.
Actually, we all have to be Wanda Sykes.
Channel Wanda, not Adam.
Isn't there a movie that does that?
Wasn't there a movie where like they look back and there's like a certain movie or thing
that everybody like worshiped or whatever?
It was Bill and Ted's excellent adventure.
What?
And it was the band Wild Stallions.
Yeah.
And this has been another episode of...
By the way, funny movie.
Wild Stallions.
69.
Okay.
69, dudes.
Kyle, do you got to go?
I do.
I have a one o'clock appointment.
Okay.
So, yeah.
Blake, go ahead and do your thing.
And this is another episode of...
This!
This!
This!
This!
This is important!
This is important!
Wait, I might have it.
Yeah!
Yeah!
I found it!
I found it!
It didn't really go.
Admittedly.
Yeah.
Fuck this song, dude.
It gets me wiggling.
Gets my butt wiggling.
Is there no lyrics?
Is there no lyrics?
This is how we should...
That's the vibes we should be bringing to every episode.
I'm gonna vote for that.
I love it.
It's called Hooray for Hollywood, guys.
Hooray for Hollywood.
Absolutely, bitch.
Good night.
Good night.
Good night.
Good night.
