How are you today? Patrick? Say hi, hi, Dad. Hi, Dad. Very good. Nice to see you here. Have the people, do you think they've seen honey?

I shrunk the kids? I don't know if they knew that Patrick started his Benjamin Button peptide routine or not. It's unbelievable what you can do with AI these days. Isn't it just crazy? None of this is real. Yeah. Patrick, your peptide anti-aging routine has really been working out well.

Oh, my goodness. A.I. can do incredible things. It's amazing. I find it weird that both in adulthood and childhood, Pat wants to sit on your lap. Yeah, I know. He does this. You know, it's very weird. Just put him on the lap. It's okay. It's okay, Patrick. Say hi. Hi. Hi. So for those that don't know, this is my son Ruddy.

They joined us in the studio for a few minutes today while Patrick was on a phone call. What do you have to say to the Brosners? Thank you, Hawaii. Yeah. You say, please watch the podcast? Yeah, that's pretty much. I think he said I love Hawaii. I love Hawaii.

I love Hawaii? Yeah, baby. Yeah, there we go. All right, buddy, I'm going to let you go. We're going to bring Patrick in and do our real show, okay? Say bye-bye-bye. Bye-bye, buddy. Bye-bye, ready.

Wave to the camera. Bye-bye. Say bye-bye. Bye. All right, buddy. Off you go. Love you. Bye, pal.

Whoop, all done. Hi-fives. Five fives. Later, dude. Later, buddy. Off you go. What a kid. And in is coming the,

what's Patrick? I don't remember. Broducer. The producer. Let's get the substitute back in over here. Yeah, tag in the B team. Huh? Yeah, why not?

Let's go, baby. Yeah, that's how we decided to start the show. Ah. Hey. Hey! He's stealing stuff from our studio. That was his. Where's the other kid?

Uh, he's in school. Sorry. Hi, ready. My mic is absolutely soaking wet. Yeah, he's been sliming your mic up. Oh, boy. Switch it. Switch it with Kyle's.

Switch to. Now, switch with Kyle's, Mike. I'm going to sit in for us. Single. Do not let that touch your face. It's okay. He's violently ill with RSV. No, he's not.

He's healthy as an ox. Look at that kid. That kid's two years old. Look at the size of them. That was nice for a sound effect. That elevating laugh track. That was nice. Thank you. I appreciate that.

You might be the only reason the awful show the Big Bang Theory existed. Dude, the laugh track in that. Oh, come on. Some of my favorite videos on the internet are that is that show with the laugh track pulled out. And it's just awful with pauses. It's so fucking good. I got it shows you how bad the writing on. By the way, those very, very highly paid writers.

And actors. They were making a million dollars an episode. I don't even mind the actors. but it's like the writers just writing they're not actual jokes. Right, right. You pull the left track out, you can't even tell that it should have been a joke.

Are we going to get demonetized if we look at one of these? Yes, we don't tell. This is not a, this, let's get. Welcome to the Wild Times podcast. We're getting into it here. I'm one of the hosts. I am the broologist. There is a producer and a professor,

a Peter and Patrick. You can call them whatever you want. We are a podcast that makes some jokes, talk about some news, look at some animal stuff, play some games. And generally, just talk shenanigans. Would you call us a wildlife education podcast?

I would, but then Patrick, we'd get upset. So I dance around the topic. Spotify has us in the science category. So I think we're number 31 worldwide. Patrick, in science. That's shocking. If you were to title the podcast, if you were with a subtitle, a subtitle.

Subtitle, okay, because I did come up with the title. Next. No, no, what's the subtitle? Because right now it's called wildlife education. man i don't know i would call it uh have some fun talk about nature remember in the early days of this podcast you're worse than the big bang theory writers yeah that's this is nonsense speaking speaking in plain language is a skill man jet jet pull the mic over what have you got quick quick quick on you're on the spot here saying the word quick for what oh my god he's

not listening either title of the podcast what would you call the byline yeah yeah my line. Wild times. Life education. Oh, boy. Dude. Get them out. Get them out.

I don't care if we drove four hours to be here. I don't know if we're going to be able to get through this. All right. I'll shut up now. No, we like having you here. You're looking good. I like your mustard brown shirt. That's very nice.

Thanks. It is a good color for you. It's more like of a diarrhea. It matches your diarrhea. I just touched on my joke. I just got this text from a friend of mine. Okay. Okay.

Because I want to see what your take on this forest is. Yeah. Literally just got this. My friend Nick, who's a comedian, tried to call me. Okay? Yeah. I said, hey, I'm on a phone call. I'll try you after.

Uh-huh. He said, hey, really quick. Is Retep that guy that used to go out drinking with us and had that super bizarre hairline? It looked like he fell in soil. And so I sent him this picture of Retep in his mind. mustard shirt. Lovely.

Said I'm with him now. Yes. Response? He has not responded. Interesting. So what do you, do we think Retep has a bizarre hairline that looks like he fell in soil?

I think he's got, I think his hair is probably his best feature. Yeah. I'm utterly shocked that someone would lead to the hairline as being an item. It makes me think that like he was thinking of somebody else. No. Like maybe he was think of Neal. It could have been.

What was your hair at the time? Pat, short. I had like a short and then I did like a, like a pompadour. Oh, well, that was obviously it. Kyle, pull up my LinkedIn. Just Peter Fitzer LinkedIn. Wow.

Not Urpeter. It's fur. Yeah, there, there you go. Oh, yeah. I mean, look at, dude, yes. Does it look like I fell in soil? Absolutely, yes, 100%. But I look like I looked like I fell in soil?

What does that mean? Kyle, go to the first picture there. The cheered looks like you maybe fell on your chin kind of landed in the dirt. The cheered looks like. okay there. I hate you from this photo. Yeah, my wife too. She goes, if you ever cut your hair, it's divorced. Dude, it's not only that. It's just everything about you is trying to be a corporate tech, bro. This is a LinkedIn profile from 10 years ago. Woof. Oh, shut your foot. Shut your butt.

I had to fake it till I made it. Dude, I'm going to talk to Nick. And I didn't. I'm going to text with your buddy, Nick. I know who you're talking about. I'm going to text him and just be like, look at this fucking soil-headed loon. You don't even know what. dipped your head in soil means. All right. Let's get on to some wild like shit. Literally, he's, because we always called it your chin beard, because it wasn't a true goatee and it cheered.

It does look like you tripped and fell in like a mud pit. It does. And landed chin first. Now I get it. Now I get it. I am not good with jokes. Before we get into what's in the news, hey, we got a lot of good stuff. We got some controversy.

Oh, yeah. We've got a mystery. Yeah. What else we got? What else we got? We also do four extra podcasts every month. If you were interested, Kyle will put a link. We're trying to get on Netflix so we can run with 200 plus.

We have 200 plus pods you've never heard if you don't subscribe. We have over 400 total. Can you believe it? How many calendar years? How many calendar years? It was done. How many calendar years? I think six. Yeah.

That would be nothing. It's six. I've got an animal mystery. He's so revved up. What if you feed him? I've been drinking light strike since I woke up. Smart. I've gone on the opposite way.

I'm having a mess. magic mind locking in. What a nightmare. I've got an animal mystery. Kyle has steered way away from it. Can't believe we're 10 minutes into this. So we're in Wisconsin. Okay.

I've heard of it. This was in, this happened a few weeks ago in the first week of February. I think it was like, yeah. I'm going to put on my psychic hat. My mysterious footprints have been discovered. I need to look at the screen. So let's take a look at the footprints first. Yep.

Okay. Ooh. They look... Well, what's the third one? I know what I think they are. Okay. So these are tracks in snow. Is that correct?

Indeed. Yes. How large are they so that we can give the viewers some more content? This is a satellite photo. I would say these are probably anywhere between two to four inches. Okay. I know what I think is. You know how he knows that, right?

Go ahead. What does it look like to you? I mean, it looks... All right, so I'm a little confused. So this is not just one footprint that has three pads of some sort. This is one, two, three footprints. What? Okay.

So there's, I see what he's saying. It looks like someone took a heart, cut it into three pieces and separated it. There's three markings here. So I'm just wondering, like, are you guys perceiving this as three separate footprints?

No. All right. Well, I'll tell you what I think it is, Peter. Okay, because people, this is big news. People are, yeah, baffled. Well, here's what I see, and I have not seen anything but the photo yet in the article. I see two hind feet of like a snowshoe hair or a bunny and a nice little tookus tail print. No way.

That's ridiculous. He dropped his bum down. He left the little tail print and it's two back feet. No, it's not that. Are you? Boom. That is what it is. Get out of here.

Yeah. I don't know why that's a mystery. Okay. I haven't even read the article. Look, this was sent around enough. With the headline, mysterious prints in snow. I call shenanigans. And then some people that knew what they were talking about.

I'm going to up the ante. Clearly, that's a snow hair that dropped its butt into the ground. I'm moving on because that's, I feel like that's a mystery my five-year-old would set up. Well, he was just here. I resent that. I'm moving on. Peter, have another light strike. Here's a mystery for you.

What I'm talking about? Virginia. Heard of it? Never. Yeah. Is that a state? Spent entire summers there. I've never been.

No quite well. Well, here's something that happened just a few days ago. All of a sudden, there was a major highway in Nelson County, Virginia, with a huge traffic jam. Okay. Okay? The traffic jam was animal related. Why do you think there was a big traffic jam in Virginia? Take a wild guess.

There's a lot of farming. A lot, a lot, a lot of farming. It's got to be something like out of the ordinary, though, because otherwise you wouldn't bring it up. There are bison farms there. That's a good guess. That could be. And I'm going to say that some bison got out and kind of just got stuck in between a fence that they broke through and a fence they couldn't get through on the other side and caused a traffic jam. I got it.

I do believe it was bison since it's no question. That it is bison butt. It's bison butt. Bison butt they were banging in the road. Okay. So just two individual bison. Banging in the road. Okay, so this news is nigh bison related.

There are no bison in this story. Is there any type of bovid related? There is not. In fact... Is there a mammal? Hold your horses, would you? Oh, it's a horse? It's not.

Oh, even weirder. A kangaroo was in the middle of the highway in Nelson County, Virginia. Get out of here. When all of a sudden, uh, streetgoers? No, that's not the right word. People driving. Oh, drivers. Drivers.

decided to slam on the brakes, didn't know what was going on. Kangaroo. There was blood on the ground. Everybody was confused. Here's what happened. Okay? Yeah.

Hunting dogs escaped or ran amok chasing a female kangaroo from her location of captivity. So they're hunting kangaroo in fucking Virginia? No, no, no. Some guy had hunting dogs. Hunting dogs kind of broke loose, took off running,

and spooked somebody's pet kangaroo. that had a Joey in her pouch. And she took off running away for... This is all in Virginia. This is crazy. Not Alice Springs, Australia, to be clear. And this kangaroo took off hopping away, jumped the fence, dropped her Joey out of the pouch,

and then hopped onto the road. But as the Joey had jumped out of the pouch, there was blood and things like that. So it was a very bizarre and unusual sighting for a Saturday morning in a snowy Virginia highway. Let me pause you. Okay. Picture you drive.

Picture you're driving down the road in Virginia. It's snowy out. Middle of winter, right? Yes. Look at the photo. This is hilarious. Look at this photograph. An effing kangaroo comes hopping across the highway.

Yeah, you don't really associate. I mean, there's a lot of snow. They haven't even fully plowed the road. And there's just a bloody kangaroo leaving blood tracks. Pretty wild. In the snow on a highway in Virginia. See, now I get why this is big news. Yeah, it's bizarre, dude.

It's absolutely insane. Could you imagine, like you said, you're driving down a lovely snowy highway and a 20-degree morning and a Roo pops out? Did they, did it turn out? Was it good? All fine. They captured the kangaroo, returned it to its owner, expected to make a full recovery.

The Joey was also recovered and reunited with the mama, and the owner was stoked to get the animal back. Just bizarre. So do you see any problem with owning kangaroos? I don't. I really don't. A kangaroo is a funny, hoppy-looking rabbit, you know, and that's going to get some arguments on the internet. But, you know, like, it's not much different to having a pet rabbit at home.

They're just bigger. Yeah, I mean, just in temperament, disposition, ecological role, everything else. They're basically a rabbit. They're basically Australia's large rabbits, right? They're not. They're marsupial, whatever. But if you hand-raise a kangaroo, so there's a couple things here. If you hand-raise a kangaroo, they can be really.

nice pets. It can be really sweet and everything else. Just like a big rabbit. Like if my two-year-old who was just here were to pick up a really big Flemish giant rabbit, it would kick him and hurt him and scratch him. A kangaroo can do more damage than a rabbit, but the likelihood that a kangaroo is going to become an invasive species, become an ecological nightmare, create any big problems. Very, very slim. Because very, there's not a lot of habitat in the United States that a kangaroo population would thrive in. Where would it? It would survive probably. let me guess and correct me if I'm wrong. Florida is what you're going to say.

I was it. Because I honestly think it might be too humid there. I was going to say just like the southwest. Texas. Probably Texas Cal. But even Texas gets really cold. Probably California is the most. Yeah.

But it's just not something like, I'm trying to think how to associate this. Like when an invasive rat or an iguana or something gets out, they're hiding up in the trees and they're creating a menace and a problem. kangaroos just going to like sit in a field. You know what I mean? So it's like if you let a hundred kangaroos out in the hills of Santa Barbara and then we're like, oh, the kangaroos are becoming a problem?

It would take you an hour to eliminate that problem. What the hell are kangaroos doing all day? Not much. They don't do much. They don't have the most fun life. What do they eat? Grass. They're just like rabbits.

That's what I'm telling you. They're just out. Dude, they're great. I would have a kangaroo's a pet. Have you ever seen the one that fucking nearly knock me out? Did I ever show this to you guys? Headbutted you, right? Did I ever show you this?

Can I just ask you a question real quick? Because now I'm fucking paranoid. Yeah. Did you, because now I don't remember if the top of this magic mind came off. Did you put anything in my dream? I promise I did not. I promise, promise I didn't. Okay.

I'm not that kind of prank guy. I'm not going to try the same joke twice. Also, the first one was a flop. Well, because your first one was a kind of a flop. Exactly. You had a solid half hour to prep this drink. Didn't even think of it. Did not put a 50 milligrams in in there for you?

And I have no reason to print you only four off. He put a 50 miller. This message is sponsored by Raycon. Guys, I love these Raycon open ear earbuds.

So my wife's been getting real angry because I've been doing this thing. I'll fall asleep with a pouch in my mouth. And then I'll wake up middle of the night and I'll put it under the corner of the rug. That's exactly what I do. That's insane. I lifted it up. Looks like there's a bunch of bugs.

All right, here we go. Watch this. Watch this. Oh, this is so good with sound. Boom. It's such a good. I could watch that. I know we've shown it before. I dropped pretty hard. Like, he really takes me down.

He nails you. Oh, he, right in the chin. You don't go unconscious, but it's the same as just a full-on haymaker that you didn't expect. It's exactly like watching a professional boxing fight, and then the guy gets the clean punch in. 100% and you just lose momentum.

If you had been standing, it would have been so great because I think you might have gone down. I think I would have gone down. I love it. It took me by full surprise. Are you there for this, Kyle? No. Ah, he wishes.

Mitch did. I'm glad he got it. Was Mitch stoked? Because he likes to see him. Oh, yeah. Everybody's stoked. Everybody's stoked when you see me get hit. When you get hit by a head of a, uh, any animal, whether it's a human toddler, a dog,

even a fucking domestic house cat, if you, if they're doing like, my cat does a thing where she smacks the cranium, you know, the top of her head into you, sometimes she'll be on the back of the couch and I'll turn and she'll catch me in the chest. cheek or the teeth like teeth well that's actually like it hurts like a mother actually Kyle go back to the same video this actually really interesting you know that that's a behavior that they're doing yes oh okay I think it's literally called bunting that's right go to the Kyle much later in the video is me doing that with the links which is really interesting look at this so this is my buddy Stephen

oh you guys know Stephen we hang out with him at animal con and yeah so he has this Eurasian links that he hand raised and he puts his head down and he was teaching me to do it and see that see it's being very gentle on like yeah Oh, dude, you'd be surprised. There's a couple, maybe not in the video, but she kind of comes in with some heat a couple times. Kyle, after this, I just sent you a video that displays some amazing cat behavior. I actually sent this to Pat.

I don't know if you looked at it. That links is unreal, by the way. Oh, it's so beautiful, man. Let's be this. You shouldn't, like, don't, like, try and get a links, but like, get a kangaroo. Don't get a link. That's the takeaway here.

We're going to get a look at the cat behavior. Oh, Kyle, if you're putting more AI videos in, Yep, he is. No, these aren't AI videos. Of course that's AI. No, this is not AI. These are real videos. That one looks real.

The first one is definitely. Has this ever? It's so funny. Cat, why would anybody want to own a cat? It's so good. Look at this. That's AI, bro. That one might be.

That one might be. Dude, get the slop off of our screen. Shut your fucking butt. We're going to watch the whole video. This sucks. Like, this sucks because these are fantastic. A couple of those do look very real to me. Yeah.

And I'm just wondering, Pat, is anything like, has anything ever happened to you this way with your cat? Oh, my cat's not allowed in my bedroom. Because something happened? Because plenty of this happened. Wait, plenty of this still happens if I make a mistake. Like, that's obviously fake. Dude, I hate.

Okay, two things here, two things. The cats are hilarious. You're not wrong. You're not wrong. It ruined the world. AI has. Especially now that they're mixing it with legit videos. That really pisses me off.

Okay, so two things. Jet, I'm assigning you a task right here. In 15 minutes, we're going to do AI or not. Okay? So you're going to find... Oh, I like that. You're going to find 10 internet videos. Half of them or so will be AI and half will be real.

And the three of us are going to weigh in on that. See if you can get this done in... Let's give them 20 minutes. Okay, 20 minutes. Because that's a fun... So I just... Apparently I hadn't followed Chris Gillette on Instagram. Yeah.

And so I just... Bro, you're on like your... ninth light strike. It's like 11 a.m. It's 12.30. So I just followed him and he does a little segment Gator Boy Chris. Yeah, I know Chris. I love Chris. Yeah. He does a little AI review video. Oh, interesting. So it's funny because BT, I just talked, I caught up with BTG the other day.

Friend of the podcast. Yeah, baby. And he said his entire inbox is people asking him to weigh in on AI or not. Oh, really? Yeah. Are you finding that you're getting a lot of that? I don't think I've been asked a lot of that, but I get given, I get sent videos from people all the time thinking things are real that are not real. It's infuriating.

Bro, you put one in just the other day, I think. Oh, got it. That I thought was real? Yeah, like, I think, let me see if I can find it right here. No, it's very possible, dude. I find myself being fooled by the AI, but I must say that I'm actually more annoyed

with that cavity I stand because I really thought those were real. But that's the whole problem. So let me get into a diet drive here for a second. Before we do this. Before you freak out. Okay. There's plenty of time. I'm reserving a freak out.

So BTG said he's getting all these. I think Chris referenced that he has gets sent a lot of videos. I see. And people want to know if they're AI. And so he breaks them down. And obviously you can just tell it. He's just, as someone who makes wildlife content, he's just so fucking angry about it.

Yeah, absolutely. And so is BTG. and I just, it's, it is fucking shitty because I think it's going to be the end. I think it's going to be the end of social media. This is, oh, sorry. I'm probably, I think it could be like, if you just go, I can't even tell, whether you like animal videos or looking at bikini models, there's all these, I followed a bunch of cozy log cabin Instagrams.

Oh, yeah, me too. Because I like getting pictures of just like beautiful log cabins in the snow. Oh, yeah. They're now all they. That's right. So I had to delete all those. I'm like, what's the point of all this? I love that page, dude.

They're all AI now. Yeah, they're all AI now. They're fucking terrible. So anyway, and then Forest Diatribe can come after mine as we sound like angry old men. Well, let me ask you, Jet, you're 21. Does the AI revolution of content piss you off the same way it does a bunch of guys who are 40? Yes, I'm huge against AI. Okay.

So here's, it's funny, I had literally what everything you just said, Pat, I talked to Graber for 40 minutes on the drive to the studio. today. I haven't caught up with him in a while. Friend of the pod. Yeah. And I said to him, I think that it's, I mean, just expanding on what you said. Yeah. The fact that when you go on Instagram now, you cannot distinguish between reality and fiction means I don't want to go on Instagram anymore.

Right. Because it just pisses me off. And this is, and I'm just going to expand on this a little bit, it's not just social media. It's all media. I don't know what's real in the news or not. I don't know what's real in social media or not. The deep fake stuff has gotten so outrageous that I don't know if the stuff I'm seeing has actually been said by a president or a politician or if he's been made up.

It's like to the point that the only thing that I know is real is what's in front of me and not on a screen. And I've like lost interest in going on most social media platforms. And I think it's exactly what you said. It's a fatigue of not knowing reality versus versus. Well, think about how much faster it is to generate AI generated content. Yeah. I can generate anyone, you know, well, Kyle or Jet could because they understand how computers work.

Yeah, you and I could generate a hundred leopard-based videos. No, a thousand in the time that it would take for you to go to the zoo. Yep. And do a show and tell with a caged leopard. Absolutely. And so I think we're going to get to the point where we're at like 99% fake, 1% real. And it's the same with like, dude, even like sports shit. people will text me

sports stuff like, you know, after the Eagles lost the Super Bowl and it's like all these fake videos of the players being like, you know, we sucked a fucking dick today. AJ Brown was dog shit and you're like, well, I know that's not real. And so it's going to get to the point where you're like, man, like, I just all content's kind of ruined.

Let me, let me add. I'm finding some that have been sent to me. Let me pause it a question though. Go ahead. Could this be a good thing? Yes. I actually think it is. I think it's going to get people off of their phones. So I'll say as I would stare at my phone. Let me expound on it a bit

because, you know, I do think that over the course of when did the internet go bad, would you guys say like 2012, 2015? I don't know. No, I don't.

Like I became so corporatized where like you search Google and all you get is like sponsored bullshit nonsense. No like original artsy creative websites, things like that. So I think it happened probably around 20, 2016, maybe 2017.

where things are just like you go on Google now and you can't find anything fun or creative or original. You only see kind of corporate sponsored shit. And I think at the same time that that started really happening, it's just so full of misinformation, right? Like where people, I don't think that we as human beings are necessarily evolved enough to handle the amount of information mixed with misinformation that's out there.

So that said, I do think that I think people really fucking hate this AI shit. From all like Gen A to Gen Z to millennials, I do think it could be a good thing in what you're saying is pushing people like out of it. Like being like, why don't want to watch this? It's garbage. Let's crave realism. I think we as human beings by nature crave realism. That's why we like fucking stupid reality. shows like The Bachelor and Big Brother and stuff like that.

That's, you know, we like realism. Like, we actually want to connect with something. You do not connect with a falsified AI video. And there is so much fatigue of not knowing what's real and what isn't. I think, I think people, I think, like Jet and his generation below him are going to get off fucking the internet. I really do. Before we move on. Yeah.

And then I've got to segue to something that just happened in my, well, I've talked to you about it. Yeah. But have you heard about the YouTube? the fake commercials that aren't the ads, the YouTube ads that are fake. Completely fake and the products are fake. Oh, no. What's the point is that? So I was just a big podcast that I listen to that I very much trust as being a real source.

So there's an inundation of YouTube ads that are being entirely created by AI, the actors, AI, the script is AI. They all follow a very similar script where they like introduce like a catastrophic problem. here's how you can fix it, and then they show a product. And the product isn't real. So what's the point? I don't understand the point of generating this. Get you to buy it.

And it's all just complete. It's complete AI generated scams that are like, that have massively increased on YouTube very quickly. Well, I believe it. I don't watch YouTube ads anymore because I have cut them out by paying for premium, which I hate to admit. but it is unwatchable. No offense, YouTube.

Without the ads. Hey, let's get out of this. Let's play a game. Kyle, give me a jingle for a game. It's a take on a battle royale. It is. It's a take on a battle royale. Here's the situation.

You're in an alien invasion. Okay? You've got $15 to build an animal that you're going to take into the world with you. That's going to be your buddy that's going to help protect you. Yep. You've got $15.

$15 to survive. That's right. Okay, tell me my choices. Okay, first off, you have to pick the head. Are you ready, Peter? Yeah, I'm ready. Okay, for $5, you can have the head of a crock. For four, a rhino, three, a bear, two, a dog, one, a rat.

Pick, rapid fire. Oh, okay. I got $15. We're going to do, we have three categories or four? Do we know? Three. Three. Okay.

Four, poor. Okay, you got to be smart here. I'm going to take the head of a bear. I'm going to spend some money here. I'm going to take the head of a crocodile. I want that bite force. Nice. I'm going to go dog.

I think I can do a lot with that. So I'm only at two bucks. So moving on to the body. You can have the body of an elephant for five bucks. A polar bear for four, giraffe for three, eagle for two or a house cat for one. Are we scaling up to the body size? Scaling to the body. Of course.

B.R rules. Yeah. Are we, are we, is that an African elephant? Yes. Elephant. What was your head? Bear. Jesus.

That's pretty... You really don't need anything else, to be honest. I'm spending an awful lot of money here. I'm going elephant as well. Well, I mean, that was my obvious first choice, but now I'm going to go... I'm only at six bucks if I pick the body of a polar bear, and I think I can do a lot of damage here.

Okay. So I'm at 10. What am I at? I'm at 11, right? You're at eight, Peter? Impossible. Eight? Okay.

All right. Category three, we're going for the limbs. The limbs of $5 for an octopus, four for a gorilla, three for a bat, two for a wolf, one for a lizard. Okay, so I have the body of the elephant and the head of a bear for the limbs. I am going to go... It's interesting.

I feel like the octopus limbs are not going to give me much... They're in a way they could be very, very useful, but I don't think they're strong enough. So I'm going to go with the gorilla for $4 here for limbs. I'm going to take bat for three. I want my elephant with a crockhead to be able to fly. Yeah, I really wanted that as well. You can still take it. I can.

Let's see. I have the head of a dog on the body of a polar bear. Hmm. I'm going to give it the... You know what? I'm going to take the gorilla here. Yeah?

Yeah. I want the limbs of grill. I want that strength, that ability to rip things apart. Especially because your animal doesn't bite very hard. That's right. And I've got a lot of money to spend

moving into category four, which is intelligence. How much was the bat three? Bat was three. You have 13. So I'm down to $2. Yeah, you don't... You're, you're screwed.

You gotta pick just, I mean. Five bucks for the brain of a chimp, four for a dolphin, three for a crow, two for a house cat, $1 for the smarts of a snail. Well, I'll just jump in. Housecat, because I can only afford a house cat. And that's, I believe they're just ever so slightly smarter than a snail. Yeah, Kyle, how much do I have? Peter, you have $12.

$12. $1.00. So you can spend up to crow. I have $3. I have $3. Well, as we all know, I think that. Crows have the intelligence, like, they're smarter than my three and a half year old. So I'm actually very excited to pick crow.

Well, here's where I finally got a leg up on you guys. Because my budget, what's my budget, Kyle? You're at 10, Forrest. That's right. So I still have $5 to spend. And I'm now coming in with the intelligence of a chimp. So while you two big lummixes are getting defeated by the alien invasion, I have not just... What's your full animal?

It's the head of a dog on the body of a polar bear with the limbs of a gorilla. of a gorilla and now the intelligence of a chimp. He's got like a medium-sized animal that doesn't bite very hard. That's incredibly strong and very, very smart. I am by far the most likely to survive this scenario. There's no fucking way. I have the body of an elephant. Go back to what I have.

You have an elephant-sized elephant body with a bear. Come on, a fucking brown bear head. And gorilla. Right. Just straight. strength. This thing is protecting me from the aliens, right? And it's as smart as a crow. Right. So as soon as I throw breadcrumbs out, it's going to be defeated. Absolutely fucking false. Crows will not go after your fucking breadcrumbs after I easily train my crow to attack anything that looks like one of these aliens.

What's your argument here? Well, one is just, I just think your animal's a bit small and not that ferocious. and Retepp's is, well, very large and with an impressive bare head, Retep hasn't even trained his dog. And so I don't think he's going to be able to train his program. Every time you come into my house, does my dog make you scared? Well, it makes me concerned. It's a yes or no question. Biting is a worry.

Just answer the question, yes or no. Does he make me scared? Yes. No, because I could obviously stomp on him and kick him. Fuck off. But I'm aware that he wants to bite me. You've told me that my dog makes you scared. Never said I was scared.

It makes you skittish and you are already meager. I have trained my dog to make you. Is that why he bites your kids? Is that why you pee your pants every time you walk through my front door? Kyle, who do you think won this game based on budget? Wait, we got to talk about why they fucking are going to win or fight or protect us. We've just done that. What is it? Patrick has.

So we just did for four minutes. Patrick has talked about why our animals have lost. You need to defend. Why would your animal protect you so well? It's incredibly strong. It's incredibly intelligent. It's agile. And it's still a dog bite's going to fuck you up.

I don't care who you are. Okay. An alien. What if these aliens are covered? It flew hair and a spaceship from Jupiter. I don't care, man. I got this in the bank. It's not just no way.

So I want to. I'm going to go with Patrick on this one. Thank you. Insane. Do not argue with. Do not argue with Kyle, please. It has the intelligence of a snail. Yeah, but it has the head of a crocodile and the elephant of a body.

That's an elephant body. It does have the elephant body. What happens if like three or four of the aliens gang up on it? Pat, I want to ask you a question. Peter, buckle up. Okay. You mean shut up? No, because you're going to be like, why are you talking about this?

No, I'll wait. I'm calm. Did you or did you not give in to your wife in the skylights? I did. No, I did. That was... You did that, so you got the skylights in? I did.

We have skylights coming from the sky into your room in the morning? In the bedroom. It was one of those things that, you know, because I've, my entire life, like, dude, my entire 20s, I put tinfoil. Yes. Duck taped it to my windows because I like to sleep in a cave. Pure black. With fan noise. Yeah, but we redid our bedroom.

Of course, the fan's non-negotiable. This is unbelievable. But we redid the bedroom and part of it, the design was I now have three skylights in the bedroom. So the last time I was at your house, our wives were talking about this. And I left your house driving away going, there is zero chance that Patrick's going to let that happen. Because like you, I'm a pure blackout curtain guy. Sure. Right.

And I'm training my kids to be the same way. It's tremendous. It's the only way to sleep. So anyway, I knew this bit of information. And just wait. I'm going to tell you. Okay. Serendipidously, is that the way to say that word?

Yep. I saw a Kickstarter campaign maybe a week after I left your house and you guys were having the skylight conversation. And this Kickstarter was for a sleep mask. Sure. Now, stay with me. You're going to be like, what? I don't wear a sleep mask when I sleep.

I have blackout curtains. This is what my wife said was like, learn to sleep with a sleep mask. I was like, ooh, I've never done that. Yeah, this was the argument. All right. So, and this is not a sponsor or anything, I got you guys a gift. I just got back from... You got Patrick a sleep mask?

I got you one, too. No, but check them out. Take them out for a second. So anyway, this just is a weird confluence of events. So I knew about the skylight thing. I saw this ad for these things on Kickstarter and it became an actual company. I ordered them.

And I just got back from 16 hours of flying to India. Take them out of the thing. It's the best gift you will get this year, guarantee. I was about to get... Definitely. I was about to get angry that you were going to... give him something again. It looks like a VR.

Then you gave me one too and look at the soft little eye cut out things and whatnot, the little patches. They're unbelievable. So undo the bottom part. Yeah. And then put the top part over your face. Is the thing like Kyle, is this a, do people sleep with sleep masks? They do. Absolutely.

Do you? I did. I do blackout. Go under the ears with the bottom strap. What do you do with this bottom strap? Under the ears. Bottom strap. So top strap goes over the ears. Dude, here's the thing. Sleep masks have like some janky little you know, sort of strap. Holy crap.

Dude, you can roll around. You can thrash in your airplane seat. This is crazy. It's full blackout. I'm telling you, man. Dude, I might do the rest of the pod so I can like pretend I'm an audio listener.

Kyle, I got you one too. That's a great idea. Yeah. No, they're real nice. Thank you, by the way. Somebody needs to hand me my cocktail though. There is. No one should.

You don't look ridiculous at all. I look good. No, you look real nice. Okay, good. But is it not total blackout? Dude, it's kind of scary. This is like what, I feel like this is what death feels like.

So I have used blackout masks, and I think I ordered like the $15 one from Amazon. And, uh, and this is like so much more comfortable that like, I would not even consider using that other one anymore. And the thing is now, I sleep on my side, whether that's in an airplane or anything.

There's not one strap that's going to get bunched up and pinch and then move the, move the thing over the way it's designed. I don't know. You guys will see. I don't want to make a big thing out of it. I do. I'm going to stand up and walk around.

No, don't do that. So how comfortable are you rocking one of these on a plane? The whole flight. I'm not even joking. But like, no, I'm saying like you don't, you don't feel like, oh, people are going to laugh. Oh, I don't care.

Dude, I throw that sucker on, like, the second I get in there and want to get cozy and I'll sleep. It's the first, it's changed the way I sleep because the airplane lights and the everything. It's a nightmare. It's a nightmare. It's a nightmare. And this really has made a big difference.

guys would like them. This is kind of fun just consuming what's happening right now only through audio. Yeah, I'm also wearing one and can't see anything. Really? No. Well, thank you for that. Yeah, you're welcome. Hey, Jed, how's that game looking? You're ready to rumble? Pull your sleep masks off. Let's, uh, oh, no, I'm wearing it for the rest of the pod. All right, we're going to play the game. Jed, how's it going over there? You got the game ready? Now, don't give a thumbs up. This is an audio podcast. He doesn't have a mic for us. A thumbs up is perfectly okay to give. We have two.

They're too cheap. Give me a jingle, Kyle, for the Is It AI game? Yeah. Is it AI? I hate this. I hate that we have to do this. I hate it too. So, okay, I know this first one, so I'm going to let it play. And then I'll tell a story.

Here we go. You'll be the judge then. So we're going to play a video. I should be the judge all around, I think. Okay. Because I think I'm the only one who's going to know for sure. So we're going to play a video, an animal video, that we know whether it's absolutely legitimately a real video or it's AI. Yes, that's correct.

Okay, I love this because I've been fooled and it annoys me. And it's also, as we ranted about five minutes ago, it's the most infuriating thing in the world. By the way, by the way, if you're like me and you get very angry about this, come to practice your AI spotting skills. Come and watch it so that you can practice and not get so you could turn it off right away. So the caption, this first one says, look at the giant. Black Snake Nest. So it was a man wiring. Is that a cobra?

Yeah, so the man put a GoPro mount on the back of a cobra and then sent it down its burrow. Okay. Can we have audio or is there no audio? There's audio. Okay, I just want to see what he does at the beginning. Yeah, with the audio.

Oh my God. You and the audio. The audio is important. It's just a guy talking. Shut your fucking butt. So he, it's hard for me to tell like, how is he manipulating this wild cobra so easily? I don't know that it's wild. Probably part of the fakeness of this absolutely AI video.

That's my calling it AI. I'm calling it AI. Pat. I think this one's real. So the reason, how are you going to, how are you going to jingle this one, Cal? Well, can we talk? Should we explain why we think it's AI or not? Sure.

Okay. So can we pause it right at the beginning after we see his face? So when we see the snake for the first time, really. So, okay. It looks like a Jedi helmet. Like it just, the snake itself looks very, very too perfect to me. And then also the sound of, I mean, maybe they added sound effects, but the sound sound fake to me. I don't know. Pat? I think it's real for no other reason than that you said that you knew that you knew of this video.

Sure. And I only think you would know of this if it was real and you thought it was cool. Well, I only know of this because Mitchell sent it in our group ideas thread where he said, you know, we have a group ideas thread for stuff to do at Ventara for our TV show. And he sent this and I wrote back, that's AI, you boomer, because this is clearly AI. Tell us why. Because you could never fit a harness onto a snake. The way he's holding it. Right through that.

The snake's not real. That's no known species of snake. Go back. There's a slug in there for some reason. No, it's a rabbit that he's halfway cold. It's half a rabbit. The sound effects are awful. The sound effects were clearly.

There's no head on the snake there, by the way. At the very beginning of the clip. Is this what it really would look like in a snake down like this? No, absolutely not. And there's no light. Like what? He's mounted a light onto the camera. That's so true.

Where's the light source coming from? It's a harness. And then a light. And a flashlight. On a literally soft cylindrical muscle, how that harness stays on with no hip joints or shoulder joints is unimaginable. Kyle, is it possible to make it full screen for us? Just so we can see it a little bit bigger?

This is full screen. Okay. Ever seen next video? Okay. So that one's undeniably AI. Undeniably AI. You're the judge. We're the ones that guess.

You get a point. Patrick does not. Oh, that one. Sorry. And he made me feel like a boob. Because you ruined it because you knew of the video. I know. Stop blaming everybody else for your shortcomings.

Ever seen a Malayan Flying Fox before it says? What are we seeing? A giant batwing with an upside down flying fox looking thing in an enclosure. Real or not real? It's unquestionably real. It's just basic footage of a Malayan flying fox.

I'm better. will also agree that it's real because nothing insane happens and the lighting, the sun coming through and the reflections and the light makes me look. It's real. I thought it's funny. I sent this to the boys because I was like I like it almost looks fake. It's such an incredible animal. But it is absolutely real. It's a real animal. Give us a dinger. Give us a dinger, Kyle. It's like it wants you to think that it's fake by showing the wing, the perfect wing first. But when you see the actual animal itself. The movements and everything else are too real.

But it's only a matter of time until that goes away. All right. Now that's all I had. Let's see what the boys get here. All right. What do we got here? Crocodile jumps into boat.

Yeah, this is nonsense. It's fake as hell. Yeah, this is so bad. It's horrible. The humans aren't reacting. The crocodiles just like hanging out as if it's a house cat waiting to be pet. Yeah, it's not even, it's not moving at all.

Look at the water. Why are there bubbles coming from under the boat where it's supposed to be where the foot is, it must be, it must be like shitting. It's farting out of its leg. This is ludicrous. That's terrible. Bad AI. Bake. I knew, I thought of one more to send. Hang on, hang on. Just play with the ones

that you don't know. Okay, okay. Okay. I'm glad we're, good at this. Okay. I was digging when a leopard jumped on my bucket to stop me. What are we seeing here? What's with that song? Wow. It's a video of a track hoe. Yeah. A backhoe. if you were well now they've cut another clip in are we judging it on both of them so uh i don't know

so the idea is that somebody was mining or harvesting or something in the amazon yeah and this jag came and jumped on to try and stop them this is this is a the first this is egregiously fake it's so bad this is egregiously covered a tiny fake describe the whole video it's just first of all amazing animal behavior Because I'm curious if you guys would have thought it was AI if you'd just seen the backhoe part. I would have had a much tougher time determining. So this is the biggest problem.

And I think what, to your point... Look at those prints. Those are so ludicrously fake. It's so stupid. The next morning she came back to thank me. Curious what you have to say about this. This is what people are doing. Is they're using AI to create a scenario

that anthropomorphizes animals and people connect to a fake narrative like this leopard's trying to stop mining in the Amazon. And then they make it more and more ridiculous. So in this case, it then digs up a cub out of the mud for some reason to show you why it stopped them digging. Yeah. You know, and here is a wild. It's letting the human put its hand right next to their mouth.

I'll tell you why what immediately made me know what's a eye. Why wouldn't the mother grab the cub instead of the man? Why would any of this happen? Yeah, where did the mother go? And why did the hole get so much smaller? These are good questions. But then the next day, look at how perfect she comes back to thank him.

It's a disaster. I want a hundred and thirty-three thousand lives. I want a serious conversation in a back alley with the person. Let it play one more time. Let's move on. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, let it play just to this one point when it gets to the, uh, the tiger's nose in the hole.

No, no, I think people like, I think it's cool to understand why we, like, So right here is where I noticed it was fake. It's the snout and the face of the, look at that. It looks just like the face looks so perfect and ridiculous. Here's my comment on that, Peter. It's sad that you had to get there to see that because you should just know, and I don't mean you, I'm just referring to the general population,

should know that no leopard or jaguar or lion or tiger or any animal in history has ever jumped in front of a backhoe in protest and hugged onto it like a fucking avatar movie to tell you not to hurt the jungle. Stop, though. This isn't fucking, dude, come on. Hold on, hold on. This isn't fucking Fern Gully, okay?

This is real life. You know what a jaguar does. It runs away from a backhoe. You are right, but humans are notorious for making up ridiculous stories of behind the scene shit for things that are happening. So the thing about him jumping on a backhoe, could have happened and then trying to fucking create this story out of this, some thing that humans do it?

Can I just quickly ask a question? Yes. How often do leopards fully submerge and bury their living cubs in an avalanche of sand? It is, of course, never once happened. So stupid. How rare are leopards to see to get all of this footage? Also, I'll say this is that Peter is actually, according to our findings, mostly jet, Peter is actually correct where the

cat jumping on the backhoe is a real clip. I doubt that. The rest is fabricated. I got this one looks real too where it carries its baby. That looks real. Those footprints are so real. It's to the point where it's so hard to tell. You just don't. So that's what people are doing is they're fusing multiple.

They're taking a real clip. I don't think that's real, Kyle. It might be, but it's not in protest of the jungle digging. Yeah. The backhoe does look fake. I'm seeing it again. Then I popped out and it was friendly. Yeah, exactly. Next video. This is pretty fun because it's so stupid.

I really like this game. Okay, so what do we have? Is awake, bright, and early. There's a Joey in the pouch of a mother kangaroo and it's sticking its head out. I don't even think we need to dig into this. It's clearly real. We've all seen kangaroos, right? I mean, you guys aren't.

There's no part of you feeling like this is AI. Not true. I definitely, but. You thought it was AI? The only reason I was thinking it might be AI is my lack of knowledge. I didn't know that Joey's that big would still be in the pouch. Oh, okay. Okay.

I've only seen small ones. I'm sorry. I shat on that one. It's okay. It's good to know. Do you guys have the cat falling through the carpet one in your lineup? Do you know what I'm talking about? No.

But, well, if there's a way for you to find a jet while Kyle continues to DJ, pull up the next clip, but find the cat falling through the bottomless carpet, please. Let us argue a little more too for us before you. I just like, I was just annoyed that, I don't know. I know. I get it. I understand, but I definitely might have argued. Run the show. Run the show. Here we go.

All right, here we go. A crocodile battles a lion in the river as lions watch from the banks. This is a very real scenario that happens all the time, by the way. For anybody at home that might think that a Nile crocodile has never eaten a African lion, it's happened many, many times. So we've seen, you know, like the battle at Kruger. Famous video features some lion on crock action. So for me, I'm going to go fake because. of the way the lion moves, or sorry, the crocodile moves, that little gyration it does, feels very robotic and it kind of repeats it. There's some blur on the crock and also the lighting is,

there's no, unless that was lit by 16 movie lights, that lighting does not exist in nature the way that there's different lights hitting different things there. See, for me, it's, why is the, so the crocodiles in the lion are in a spotlight. Yeah, which makes absolutely no sense. Unless someone put a vignette on their Instagram filter. That's true. For me, the thing that really shows that this is AI is if we're looking at the cats in the back. Yeah, his tongue, right? The black line.

There's just, it's so uncanny valley with the way that they... What does his mouth do there? The two lions coming in are moving against the background, especially the one that's behind the, it's like it almost just looks like it kind of not pixelates exactly, but looks blurry. They're far too smooth. It's just, yeah, very, very unnatural. Also, you're looking at a bad rendering of a saltwater crocodile, not the color pattern of a Nile crocodile where only Nile crocodiles live, just so you're aware. But it's just, to me, it's just very fake all around.

Full a eye. There's no, I don't know, and I mean, this is intentional, I know, but what is the anatomy of the lion in its mouth? What is it holding? It's got like a deer nesting. Yeah. What the hell is It's neck? Is that its back leg?

No idea. Why is it not moving? Yeah. All right. At first glance, this one is hard to tell, but wouldn't you really look into it? No, it's real AI. The water's too bad. It's AI, Kyle?

This one is AI. Oh, okay. Dude, 100%. It's not even close. Just making sure. I thought he was going to shock us. And say, have you seen this? I love this one.

Okay. So this is one of those 3D. He thinks he's falling. He thinks he's falling. This is a good one. So I'm sure you've seen these where people paint on the sidewalk or the ground, something that looks like a giant hole. But it's just because they're manipulating three-dimensional art.

Yeah. This cat gets spooked by the dog walking into the hole and then thinks it falls into the hole and freaks out. I think this is real only because I want it to be real desperately. I need it to be real. I know the feeling. Can we watch you just one day? more time. I, my first inclination, I don't

see anything out of the ordinary here. Like, cats move weirdly like that. The only thing is if they falsified the kind of grainy blurriness, but I think this is real. I think it's real. I think it's real. I think it's AI.

But I really don't want it. I don't want it to be too. And here's to your point. The only reason I know it's AI, because I saw the clip and just glanced at it you know, doom scrolling was like, oh, that's cute. And then moved on. And then I saw to your point earlier, Patrick, Chris Gillette

breaking this down as one of the AI ones. And what was the reason? That's a good AI. I don't know. I just heard him go, this is fake AI. And I was like, God damn it, that ruined my morning. Well, I do think it'd be hard. Oh, I guess, unless it was a mat. I think it's supposed to be a mat. Okay.

Oh, and then there's that blur at the bottom now that I see. What's that? I don't know. I'm a boring like the credit. It's a pity because it's kind of a cute, funny idea. Yeah, this one would get me. This one would make me angry. Yeah, this is the most, to me, of all of them that I've seen.

Because when it's wildlife and wild scenarios, I can almost always tell immediately. This one I could not tell. I thought this was real. Well, it's also easier to fake something indoors, I think. I think it's too hard for like the... Very true. Our brains are so used to understanding what outdoor lighting looks like and how trees cause dapple and all these things.

Yeah. And I think without even knowing why it's off, you just go like, that does not look like nature. That is such a good point because, like, we have had been adapted to how the outdoors looks for, you know, 250,000 years or however long, you know, homo sapiens have been around. And, and, yeah, like, when, when we have, like, the indoors, it already is almost like our eyes are naturally adapted to the fakeness of, like, the lines and the contours that are inside and indoors and human created.

But when you see it out in nature, it's so much more evident. Good night, everybody. No, I'm just kidding. Yeah, that's a good point, Retep. This has been fun. Yeah. Let us know, again, what you think of Jet and our interactions with him.
