Aaron: Why are you gay?
Adam K: Baby, I was born this way.
Aaron: My. My
Adam K: Gaga
Aaron: friend
Adam K: to all my friends.
Aaron: Nathan Perkins is.
Aaron: He, uh, terrorizes his city's
Aaron: next door pages and Facebook
Aaron: pages.
Aaron: And I guess one of the, uh, one of his neighbors he doesn't like
Aaron: is running for city council and open up the questions to
Aaron: Facebook and stuff.
Aaron: And so Nathan, who's a top contributor, has just been
Aaron: posting, why are you gay memes?
Aaron: And, uh, it derailed everything.
Aaron: So.
Adam K: Oh, that's a bummer.
Adam K: That was a real opportunity for that candidate to shine.
Aaron: Yeah, it's probably just like a
Aaron: Maga dude who's like, I don't
Aaron: think trans should be playing
Aaron: sports.
Aaron: And there's like, there's like
Aaron: one transgender person in Lake
Aaron: City and, uh, so he could just
Aaron: reference them by name if he
Aaron: wanted to.
Aaron: His whole platform could be preventing that one person from
Aaron: playing sports, and that person's probably like twenty
Aaron: eight years old or something like a programmer or whatever.
Aaron: But yeah, you know, whatever gets the votes.
Adam K: Yes. Would you ever run for what?
Adam K: City or state politics?
Aaron: Uh, I think, you know, I have way too many skeletons in my
Aaron: closet to do any such thing.
Adam K: When has that stopped?
Adam K: Anyone?
Aaron: Yeah, but I have shame.
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: Um, well, maybe not a lot of shame, but.
Aaron: Yeah.
Aaron: Um, yeah, I it's too much of a of a father and a alcoholic for
Aaron: too long to, to go running for.
Aaron: Give me
Adam K: Again,
Aaron: some picture.
Adam K: you're you're getting support
Adam K: for me based on all these things
Adam K: you're saying.
Aaron: I know it was.
Aaron: There's going to be some picture of me, you know, with a bottle
Aaron: of Jack Daniels in one hand.
Aaron: And, you know, I don't know what in the other.
Aaron: Probably
Adam K: I was your blackface makeup.
Aaron: a little person.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: A nude little person.
Aaron: Male or female, doesn't matter.
Adam K: Well, when you take that photo later this afternoon, just
Adam K: remember to password protect it.
Aaron: Yeah. Yeah. That's a four bit encryption.
Adam K: So your, uh, your car exploded over the weekend.
Aaron: Yeah, it's just alternate.
Aaron: Well, the battery died, and I was like, well, battery's die.
Aaron: It's, you know, it was time.
Aaron: And then I was like, no, it wasn't just battery.
Aaron: So it was a whole thing.
Aaron: And I was like, I was telling you like, when you can fix your
Aaron: own stuff, it's, it's like going out to eat for it's like going
Aaron: out to eat for like, like really low tier Tex-Mex.
Aaron: You're like, I could just make this at my house.
Aaron: Why am I paying fifteen dollars for it?
Aaron: This is like two dollars worth
Aaron: of ingredients and I'll feel the
Aaron: same afterwards.
Aaron: And I get it right now.
Aaron: So I, you know, I don't know.
Aaron: Well, I guess I guess you go out to a restaurant, you get it.
Aaron: Now, when you go to the grocery store, you have to make the
Aaron: analogy is not perfect, but
Adam K: No it's not.
Aaron: the moral is that I can fix these things.
Aaron: And when I know, you know, I can't get into the Land Cruiser
Aaron: shop until Wednesday or Thursday, and it's going to cost
Aaron: a thousand dollars versus two hundred and fifty dollars.
Aaron: I just do it in the afternoon.
Adam K: Now, for listeners and myself,
Adam K: what does an alternator do for a
Adam K: car?
Aaron: An alternator is basically it's
Aaron: what they went to after
Aaron: generators anyway.
Aaron: So um,
Adam K: Well,
Aaron: yeah.
Adam K: thanks for clarifying that.
Adam K: That was very engineer of you.
Aaron: An alternator it takes it takes the power from the engine.
Aaron: It converts the rotational power of the engine.
Aaron: And with magnets, it turns it into juice that is sent back to
Aaron: the battery, charging it while you're driving the car.
Adam K: Magic.
Aaron: Yeah,
Adam K: Gotcha.
Aaron: and
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: it's also a way to get a big ass fucking cut on your hand as
Aaron: you're taking it out from a three ton vehicle.
Adam K: I know we preach the whole right to repair.
Adam K: And, you know, you should learn to do this stuff yourself.
Adam K: But, you know, telling you over
Adam K: the weekend where it's like,
Adam K: well, our, our car is it's not
Adam K: that old.
Adam K: It's paid off, but it's a hybrid.
Aaron: You and your wife's car.
Aaron: Not that you and I own a car.
Adam K: No, no, no, you and I know our car here in California and we're
Adam K: thinking about selling it because we're like, yeah, we
Adam K: could probably max out.
Adam K: Now is probably the time or because it's a Toyota, you just
Adam K: keep it forever.
Adam K: But also it's a hybrid.
Adam K: So it might, you know, maybe you guys just replace the batteries
Adam K: down the line.
Adam K: I know you do.
Adam K: But regardless, I was like,
Adam K: well, it's really just we're not
Adam K: really road tripping a lot these
Adam K: days.
Adam K: And so it's like maybe an EV
Adam K: does make sense just with the
Adam K: rising gas prices and
Adam K: everything.
Adam K: And then it's like, well, maybe
Adam K: this is the time and then never
Adam K: have to worry about an oil
Adam K: change.
Adam K: But then also, if anything breaks on it, I wouldn't know
Adam K: what to do.
Adam K: And I don't think the people at
Adam K: the dealership would know what
Adam K: to do.
Aaron: No.
Adam K: It's a big mystery to everybody.
Aaron: My dad told me that when the
Aaron: electric like, dodges and stuff
Aaron: started coming out, he had the
Aaron: dealerships they were teaching
Aaron: the techs like how to work on
Aaron: the batteries.
Aaron: And they had this enormous,
Aaron: like, lamb's crook that that
Aaron: someone had to be off off the
Aaron: side with.
Aaron: So in case you touch something and it shocked you and your body
Aaron: tensed and you couldn't let go, they could just hook you and
Aaron: drag you off.
Aaron: Yeah.
Aaron: And they might still be a thing
Aaron: for working on those battery
Aaron: packs.
Aaron: I don't know.
Aaron: But yeah, I just imagine a bunch of hourly employees being like,
Aaron: all right, now that's the crook.
Aaron: That's what you do.
Aaron: You know, be off the side there.
Aaron: And you know, if Terry and Kelly
Aaron: are working on a batter, you
Aaron: need to be able to hook them
Aaron: right away because otherwise
Aaron: they'll die.
Aaron: And then we'll have to find another tech.
Adam K: Well. And, you know, just kind of surveying the landscape, I
Adam K: was like, you know, I, I did like the pole star.
Adam K: I think it's Polestar two when they first announced it.
Adam K: And I know you had some experience
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: with it with one of your jobs.
Adam K: Um, and I was like, well, some times gone by now there's a
Adam K: Polestar three four and I think even a five coming up, but it's
Adam K: only out in Europe.
Adam K: And then upon further research,
Adam K: find out that they didn't bribe
Adam K: the current administration
Adam K: enough money
Aaron: MM.
Adam K: to sell it, or Elon was just so far up their ear and asshole
Adam K: that Polestar's come Twenty twenty seven will be banned from
Adam K: being sold in the US.
Aaron: Banned
Adam K: So.
Aaron: or their tariffs so high that it just doesn't make sense.
Adam K: I think just completely banned because it's a it's a Biden era
Adam K: policy that is just continuing and basically says, um, if your
Adam K: vehicle is like built in China or has any sort of communication
Adam K: with China or Russia, they cannot sell it.
Adam K: But then there's Volvo who owns Polestar, and it has the same
Adam K: technology manufactured a lot of the same ways, uh, didn't get,
Adam K: uh, hit by this.
Adam K: So make sense of that of what you will.
Adam K: My thought was Polestar is just
Adam K: a, it's a, it's a competitor to
Adam K: Tesla.
Adam K: So there.
Adam K: Or maybe it is.
Adam K: That's, that's actually what made me kind of interested.
Adam K: I was like, well, if this is getting Elon's panties in a
Adam K: bunch, but also just looking into it their entire.
Adam K: It seems like a gamble
Aaron: Why wouldn't
Adam K: regardless.
Aaron: you just get a Prius or something?
Aaron: Why does it matter?
Aaron: Like if you just get electric, you're just getting.
Adam K: Just trying to get away from gas.
Aaron: Right.
Aaron: But aren't there full electric of those, or.
Aaron: No, they're all
Adam K: Uh,
Aaron: hybrids.
Adam K: maybe.
Adam K: I mean, yeah.
Adam K: I mean, might just have to start
Adam K: looking at Kias or, I don't
Adam K: know.
Adam K: The other thing, too, is, like, it's just trying to find
Adam K: something that is modern, somewhat cool looking in some,
Adam K: some degree that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Adam K: So.
Aaron: Get an old Fisker Karma.
Aaron: Actually, those are hybrids too, I guess.
Adam K: Yeah, I don't know.
Adam K: There's also
Aaron: Uh.
Adam K: that slate truck.
Adam K: It's twenty twenty K.
Aaron: Yeah. No, you just you just get one.
Aaron: Like, I always see some electric beetle conversions.
Aaron: You just get one of those and drive around.
Aaron: There's no crash safety.
Aaron: Who gives a shit?
Adam K: Yeah. I don't know.
Adam K: I just make the car from Gattaca.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: Some old nineteen fifties vehicle and put an electric
Adam K: engine in it.
Adam K: So Uma Thurman can drive me around.
Aaron: Really the more economical thing to do is just to keep that Rav4
Aaron: until it runs into the ground.
Adam K: I will be dead by then.
Aaron: Yeah, well, it would be your
Aaron: your sister's problem or your
Aaron: brother's problem.
Aaron: Yeah.
Aaron: Your sister's.
Aaron: I think you'll outlive.
Aaron: Some hard miles.
Aaron: He's going hard.
Adam K: Um, I finished reading the book last week.
Adam K: Postmortal.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: Uh, good.
Adam K: I think you would like it.
Adam K: Fun little little science fictiony type world.
Adam K: But it's more about the it's
Adam K: less about, you know, whatever
Adam K: the science about it, it's, it's
Adam K: kind of like done from almost
Adam K: like a, like a reporter's
Adam K: perspective.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: But the idea being they, they just cure aging.
Adam K: You can still die of other stuff, natural causes, you know,
Adam K: all this other stuff.
Adam K: Basically those those elves from Lord of the rings.
Aaron: Where are you?
Aaron: Were you telling me about this book?
Adam K: I think maybe I'm not sure I, I wrote about it or I said
Adam K: something about it.
Adam K: I don't know, maybe I started it last week,
Aaron: Because
Adam K: I don't
Aaron: I
Adam K: know.
Aaron: know I asked you the question
Aaron: where you just cut someone's
Aaron: head off.
Adam K: Yeah. Maybe we.
Adam K: Anyway, regardless, I finished
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: it and I'm recommending it to
Adam K: you even though it came out in
Adam K: twenty eleven and it's like
Adam K: already sold like four million
Adam K: copies.
Adam K: I'm like, you know what, let me recommend this to you.
Adam K: But you
Aaron: I
Adam K: never
Aaron: think
Adam K: heard
Aaron: I
Adam K: of it.
Aaron: what
Adam K: So.
Aaron: I remember about this conversation, I was like, I
Aaron: won't read that.
Aaron: And now I'm remembering that.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: And then.
Aaron: Yeah, well, I'll read that.
Aaron: That sounds good.
Aaron: Um.
Adam K: Just, I kind of it hooked me pretty much right off the bat,
Adam K: but it, uh, I just, I like stories where you get in sort of
Adam K: to the mundane parts of life of like, what does this do, um,
Aaron: Uh.
Adam K: do to the world at large?
Adam K: So it's, yeah, it's I don't want to spoil too much of it.
Adam K: Not that that really matters, but yeah, it's a cool concept.
Aaron: I, uh, you know, maybe I will.
Aaron: I'll put it in my queue after
Aaron: white noise, after I get through
Aaron: white noise.
Adam K: Which one's white noise?
Aaron: I couldn't even explain it to you if I tried.
Adam K: Okay.
Aaron: It was it's like the books, probably forty years old and it
Aaron: won some award and it's, uh, I don't it's like a satire on the
Aaron: mundaneness of life.
Aaron: And this guy is like, he's like
Aaron: the dean of Hitler studies at a
Aaron: college and he's the head of the
Aaron: Hitler Department.
Adam K: They
Aaron: And
Adam K: made this into a movie.
Aaron: did they they, I'm sure
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: they did.
Adam K: With Adam Driver came out in twenty twenty two.
Adam K: I thought it sounded familiar.
Aaron: Really came out in twenty twenty two.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: This book is like, I think it was written in the eighties.
Adam K: Eighty five, Don DeLillo,
Aaron: Don DeLillo.
Adam K: Don DeLillo.
Adam K: I don't know.
Adam K: Is he two ls?
Adam K: I just assume it's Espanol.
Aaron: Yeah, well, we don't I don't
Aaron: need to talk about the books I'm
Aaron: reading.
Aaron: It's fine.
Adam K: Okay, so you don't like the Hitler teachings?
Aaron: No, I think it's a great book.
Adam K: Okay.
Aaron: I already recommend it to a couple friends.
Aaron: And they bought it.
Adam K: There was another movie that
Adam K: came out in two thousand and
Adam K: five.
Adam K: This is the one I was thinking of, and it was a horror movie
Adam K: called White Noise.
Aaron: Yeah, this
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: is not that.
Adam K: Did it not?
Adam K: Did it have Michael Keaton in it?
Aaron: Uh, strangely, Michael Keaton is
Aaron: on the cover of this book, but I
Aaron: think it was just to sell more
Aaron: books.
Adam K: Yeah. The seller
Aaron: It's
Adam K: on Amazon
Aaron: Mr.
Adam K: was.
Aaron: Mom era Michael Keaton.
Aaron: It doesn't make any sense.
Adam K: Uh, I was like, which part of
Adam K: Africa did you import the book
Adam K: from?
Adam K: Or they just did their custom art.
Aaron: They're on poster for the book.
Adam K: Yeah. Um, so this flock camera video thing,
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: You. You ready to do this?
Aaron: Yeah. Like I told you, I was putting together the script.
Aaron: It's weird.
Aaron: Like we're right on the.
Aaron: I think it'll be okay because like, I think what saves it is,
Aaron: it is building the, the hatred, of course, but also taking the
Aaron: political route with it.
Aaron: And in the time frame that we're we're in, I think it'll be good
Aaron: because especially I told you how I wanted it to be like, I
Aaron: don't know, I mean, I, I, I want it to be James Talarico because
Aaron: it's, it involves Musk to like Musk is getting.
Aaron: And I don't know, I think there could be it could get some legs
Aaron: potentially or be set up to, to have some legs just with the
Aaron: people involved and
Adam K: Well,
Aaron: uh.
Adam K: I'm excited to look at your draft.
Aaron: Plus, I fucking hate Ken Paxton.
Aaron: Ken Paxton hates Ken Paxton.
Adam K: Yeah. You're saying is that the guy who went to, uh, Mexico?
Adam K: I forget.
Adam K: Or
Aaron: No,
Adam K: he's like.
Aaron: that's that's, uh, Ted Cruz.
Adam K: Oh, sorry.
Adam K: Yeah, I.
Aaron: Ken Paxton was the, uh, I think he was the AG in Texas.
Aaron: He's, he's insanely corrupt.
Aaron: And he, like, he was like cheating, uh, on his wife with
Aaron: like, other real estate deals.
Aaron: I don't even know.
Aaron: I think somehow he was cheating on her with houses.
Aaron: He's like, he's like a next level corrupt.
Aaron: Uh.
Adam K: I draw the line at architecture.
Aaron: He was fucking houses.
Aaron: Uh, yeah.
Aaron: But also, uh, I don't you shouldn't comment on someone's
Aaron: looks, but I don't know what the hell happened to him.
Aaron: It looks like he was hit with a pole.
Adam K: I'm going to look them up.
Adam K: Let's
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: see.
Adam K: I hear these names, but I, I don't follow.
Adam K: Oh my.
Adam K: Yeah.
Adam K: Huh.
Adam K: That's not like post stroke.
Aaron: No. And I don't know what happened to him.
Aaron: Uh,
Adam K: Huh.
Aaron: and that's not important.
Aaron: What's important is he's he's so
Aaron: insanely corrupt and he kills
Aaron: puppies.
Aaron: And what else?
Aaron: Uh.
Adam K: Just I see some of the photos and it's like, you don't.
Adam K: There's no life behind the eyes.
Aaron: No.
Adam K: And I mean, the, the, the one
Adam K: droopy eye is got kind of the,
Adam K: uh, what's that actor Forest
Adam K: Whitaker kind
Aaron: Yeah,
Adam K: of thing going
Aaron: a little
Adam K: on.
Aaron: bit.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: But forest has turned that into a strength, whereas this just.
Adam K: So anyway, this guy,
Aaron: Even
Adam K: this guy's
Aaron: Republicans
Adam K: running pro
Aaron: hate
Adam K: flock.
Aaron: him.
Aaron: He's, uh.
Aaron: I think that he's one of those
Aaron: people that would probably be
Aaron: like.
Aaron: Like police, police, police, like, no matter what.
Aaron: And if you're not doing anything bad, you have nothing to worry
Aaron: about with these cameras and very like, I mean, he wouldn't
Aaron: even I, I doubt he'd even address it just because he would
Aaron: just be so slimy to like, not even consider like It.
Aaron: He wouldn't even consider people's issues with it.
Aaron: He'd just be like, no, they'll
Aaron: stay like, there's not we're not
Aaron: going to change anything about
Aaron: it.
Aaron: It's too late, you know?
Aaron: Um,
Adam K: And
Aaron: though
Adam K: I.
Aaron: I'm seeing
Adam K: All I know
Aaron: here.
Adam K: is people don't like being spied
Adam K: on on every street corner, and I
Adam K: can
Aaron: There is a
Adam K: get
Aaron: Texas
Adam K: behind
Aaron: Tribune
Adam K: that.
Aaron: article that says Paxton
Aaron: promises to ban Chinese
Aaron: technology and chatbots that
Aaron: endanger children in data center
Aaron: platform.
Aaron: It's always like nothing that endangers children.
Aaron: And you just know that he's hit
Aaron: on like a twelve year old girl
Aaron: before.
Adam K: Well, that's why he needs to protect the children so
Aaron: And
Adam K: they can
Aaron: the
Adam K: get
Aaron: great
Adam K: to his
Aaron: thing
Adam K: house.
Aaron: about Texas is they're just
Aaron: like, we have to save Texas from
Aaron: the Democrats because they're
Aaron: going to do all this blah, blah,
Aaron: blah.
Aaron: It's like Texas has been under Republican rule since like
Aaron: nineteen ninety four.
Aaron: It's like
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: there's nothing else.
Adam K: well, but.
Adam K: And then the Democrats put their heads down and go, yeah, I guess
Adam K: we're pretty bad.
Adam K: I don't know, it's like you exist to just be the punching
Adam K: bag, so whatever.
Aaron: All this to say is I think our flock, uh, political ad should
Aaron: should be have Texas flavors.
Aaron: And that's how how I'm writing it.
Aaron: And then you throw it out if you don't like it, whatever.
Aaron: Who cares?
Adam K: I will like it.
Adam K: I was also rethinking the Blood Boy video since still waiting on
Adam K: that edit from you and also the format we shot it in real.
Adam K: I'm remembering it.
Adam K: It was rushed because
Aaron: Right.
Adam K: we were.
Adam K: We were coming up against time.
Adam K: And I don't know if that format
Adam K: works for, uh, for that I can
Adam K: use.
Adam K: I think I'm going to use some of
Adam K: it, but I think with this mini
Adam K: max stuff,
Aaron: Uh.
Adam K: I think I can, I want to do more
Adam K: of a. I've been wanting to do
Adam K: like a Fern parody for a while,
Adam K: like those, like 3D ish type
Adam K: videos.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Um, because it's like I can do some work in blender, but it's
Adam K: like what I could do is I can model these scenes or I mean,
Adam K: just frigging do it with AI or whatever, but like do a serious
Adam K: tone, but like rework the script so that it is like a little
Adam K: tongue in cheek.
Adam K: Um, I'm doing a bad job of explaining it, but I can
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: see it in my head.
Adam K: So I think I'm actually going to script that one out, um, and
Adam K: just work with what we have.
Aaron: Leah said, I've learned to
Aaron: completely ignore your pitches
Aaron: because they do a terrible job
Aaron: of the thing that you actually
Aaron: produce,
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: which is always great.
Adam K: yeah, it, I just have a really,
Adam K: I have a hard time conveying the
Adam K: images in my head where there
Adam K: are other people pitch people
Adam K: who are great at selling a
Adam K: vision and then they can't
Adam K: execute.
Aaron: Right.
Adam K: I have the opposite problem.
Adam K: My execution is always nine out of ten.
Adam K: But, uh, yeah, my sales pitch is pretty bad.
Aaron: Yeah, it's horrendous.
Aaron: And that's why out of courtesy
Aaron: to you, I just don't listen to
Aaron: them.
Aaron: And I go, I think that's going to be good based off of the
Aaron: words I picked out of it.
Aaron: Let's see it because
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: I know it'll be you never not made something entertaining at
Aaron: the very least.
Aaron: Maybe
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: it doesn't make sense, but it
Aaron: still makes me laugh and is
Aaron: entertaining.
Aaron: It would make anyone else laugh.
Aaron: So you got that going for you?
Adam K: Yeah. Well. Thank you.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Well, that was I originally.
Adam K: The plan was I wanted to make another one of those, like Elon
Adam K: Musk videos that we did for rook for the Amazon Prime town.
Adam K: And I always envisioned it as this like 3D kind of low poly
Adam K: type thing that's like.
Adam K: And then I think I was thinking that even before I discovered
Adam K: what Fern was, uh, the channel, I was like, oh, this is it.
Adam K: This is perfect.
Adam K: It's those moments.
Adam K: Or maybe I had seen it in just subconsciously it's, uh, what do
Adam K: they call it?
Adam K: Crypto amnesia, where you just compartmentalize things.
Adam K: You're like, yeah, that's my idea.
Adam K: It's like, no, you're you just have a shitty brain and you're,
Adam K: you think you came up with it, but you didn't because you're
Adam K: not that creative.
Adam K: Um, but either way, I was like, well, you know what?
Adam K: I'm getting better at using this
Adam K: minimax thing because as I
Adam K: showed you, I kept working on
Adam K: the rook trailer and now I'm
Adam K: adding more and redoing shots
Adam K: and, and then you're like, you
Adam K: do this now, how about we add
Adam K: this?
Adam K: You know what, just adapt the whole first chapter.
Adam K: And I'm like, okay, okay, cool.
Aaron: No, I, I had and I, I don't like
Aaron: to pat myself on the back, but I
Aaron: had a good note of like, we're
Aaron: following this character around
Aaron: and we have this like really
Aaron: flashy, interesting trailer, but
Aaron: like, none of none of the
Aaron: character flavor, like, you
Aaron: know, you know, has good lines
Aaron: and he's, he's pathetic and sad
Aaron: in a lot of ways, in a funny
Aaron: way.
Aaron: And it's like, you just need
Aaron: like three instances of him
Aaron: where you, you, you get who he
Aaron: is.
Aaron: And you're like, but I want to know more, you know?
Adam K: Another.
Adam K: This is one of those great examples of why you're a great
Adam K: pitch guy, because what you're saying makes total sense.
Adam K: And then me looking at this
Adam K: technology that the way it's
Adam K: currently working for me is
Adam K: pumping out two second clips at
Adam K: a pretty reasonable rate, which
Adam K: works for my hyper editing
Adam K: style.
Adam K: And then you're like, just add
Adam K: like two or three scenes with a
Adam K: consistent character that sounds
Adam K: good
Aaron: No,
Adam K: and
Aaron: no,
Adam K: is
Aaron: no, no,
Adam K: showing the
Aaron: not
Adam K: humanity.
Aaron: not scenes.
Aaron: Shots.
Adam K: Die
Aaron: Shots
Adam K: in
Aaron: shots.
Adam K: a fire.
Aaron: Single shots.
Aaron: Well, it does bring up a like.
Aaron: And that was the thing because I
Aaron: haven't played with mini Max
Aaron: enough.
Aaron: Like to have characters speaking.
Aaron: You
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: know you you know voice acting is everything in animation.
Aaron: And it's like well, fuck, you
Aaron: know, if you're at the mercy of
Aaron: the saint, how are you getting
Aaron: good performance?
Aaron: How are you going to be able to do good performances?
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: You know, so it's like, you know, typically you'd start with
Aaron: the recordings of the script and then animate to that.
Aaron: Well, you know, how the hell do you do it in this case?
Aaron: Is it a mixture of like runway and this and you, you know, and
Adam K: From
Aaron: you just.
Adam K: my, my experience, it's it can animate dialogue really well.
Adam K: Um, but the thing is, and from what I actually understand, you
Adam K: can upload a voice sample.
Aaron: Oh.
Adam K: So if you do, I'd have to just because I'm using like the real
Adam K: basic comfy UI
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: setup.
Adam K: I think I shared it with you.
Adam K: It's like it's the most minimal.
Adam K: It's literally called minimal.
Adam K: So it's like you put in an image, you put in your prompt
Adam K: and then you, you know, adjust.
Adam K: I added a little bit to it where it does a, uh, an RTX upscaler
Adam K: at the end.
Adam K: So it takes it from seven twenty p to something like two K or
Adam K: something like that, which is like, you can still see the
Adam K: errors, but it cleans it up a little bit, just enough so it
Adam K: looks good on a phone.
Aaron: MM.
Adam K: But, um, I've seen other people
Adam K: where you can upload voice
Adam K: samples.
Adam K: Um, I'm going to mess right now.
Adam K: I'm doing the, it's like, uh, first, last image to video.
Adam K: So that way, you know, you
Adam K: basically that's where you
Adam K: create the screenshot or the
Adam K: scene.
Adam K: You feed it to the machine and
Adam K: you go, now animate this and
Adam K: explain what you want it to look
Adam K: like.
Adam K: But this other one, which is like reference to video is like,
Adam K: you just feed it a bunch of information and you go based on
Adam K: these things, all these ingredients make this scene and
Adam K: then it'll like, it'll change the camera, it'll cut.
Adam K: Uh, you know, I'm doing this on my own hardware.
Adam K: So it's like doing something
Adam K: like that could maybe take up to
Adam K: forty minutes.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: So you might find out pretty
Adam K: late that you have a shitty
Adam K: scene.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Um, what I could do is you
Adam K: render it out at a lower
Adam K: resolution.
Adam K: You save the seed number, you reuse it, and then you export it
Adam K: at 1080p or something like that.
Adam K: But either way, there's a lot of trial and error.
Adam K: I would really prefer to do this with someone else's computer
Adam K: instead of my own.
Adam K: Three thousand ninety but um.
Aaron: Was that where you ran an
Aaron: instance on run pod or
Aaron: something?
Adam K: I have fifteen dollars of run credits, but from what I
Adam K: understand with run pod is it charges you even just for
Adam K: setting stuff up.
Adam K: So by the time I even get all the models and everything going,
Adam K: um, that will be gone.
Adam K: So then I would just, I would
Adam K: just be giving it more money and
Adam K: I'm
Aaron: Well,
Adam K: like,
Aaron: no, I
Adam K: oh.
Aaron: mean, I've used run pod before.
Aaron: I mean, you can turn the server
Aaron: instance on and off, and then
Aaron: you're just paying you're
Aaron: constantly paying for hard
Aaron: drive.
Aaron: Yeah.
Aaron: But
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: you can turn off and on the the actual GPU power.
Adam K: So yeah, that was my understanding of run pod.
Adam K: I had like, they had some promotional credit thing where I
Adam K: bought it and then I, I left on vacation or something.
Adam K: So I forgot what it did.
Adam K: But my, I thought it was like, your computer is just the
Adam K: interface, and then you're renting someone else's GPU.
Adam K: So
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: it's doing all the rendering on their end, but you're doing all
Adam K: your work locally.
Adam K: You're not like remoting into an instance, right?
Adam K: Is that correct or am I?
Adam K: Do I have the wrong version of this thing?
Aaron: Uh, I
Adam K: Sell
Aaron: think
Adam K: me. Sell
Aaron: I think
Adam K: me the vision.
Aaron: you are.
Aaron: Well, yeah, I'm the master of it.
Aaron: No, I think you are.
Aaron: You create a a thing through
Aaron: your term where you are, there
Aaron: is a link between you and that
Aaron: instance.
Aaron: So it is kind of remotely you're
Aaron: remotely running that GPU
Aaron: through commands in your
Aaron: terminal.
Aaron: I don't know exactly how it would work in this case because
Aaron: I, what I was doing at the time was I was hosting this entire
Aaron: app on a run pod instance.
Aaron: So it was all on there.
Aaron: So I guess that would be kind of
Aaron: like how your comfy UI thing is
Aaron: or whatever.
Aaron: So you, you'd deploy it on the run pod.
Aaron: This is extremely interesting.
Adam K: I'm
Aaron: Uh.
Adam K: interested, I need this.
Adam K: This stuff stimulates me and no one in my life understands when
Adam K: I talk about this stuff.
Adam K: So I need this.
Aaron: Well, and I think you deploy it on run pod and then you're
Aaron: instantly being charged for the the hard drive you're taking up.
Aaron: But that's like pennies a day or whatever it is, you know,
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: a dollar a day, maybe at
Adam K: Well,
Aaron: most.
Adam K: because you can, you can also
Adam K: use they have API nodes for
Adam K: comfy UI.
Adam K: So then you're just, you're just buying credits and but minimax
Aaron: What you're
Adam K: is
Aaron: talking
Adam K: like.
Aaron: about that someone has a step by step workflow because
Adam K: I know.
Aaron: no one is using their, you know, they want to use dual a two
Aaron: hundred, whatever things to, you know, render this in 30s as
Aaron: opposed to your forty minutes.
Aaron: So someone has a step by step instruction that you could
Aaron: follow, and then you'll change it, and then your computer will
Aaron: melt and you'll be like, I don't know what happened.
Adam K: I need to preserve my computer
Adam K: as much as possible because one,
Adam K: I can't replace any of the
Adam K: hardware.
Adam K: It's too expensive
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: And Grand Theft Auto six is about to leak the PC build, you
Adam K: know, two years before it comes out because someone has a copy
Adam K: of it for some reason.
Aaron: I thought it's supposed to come out in November.
Aaron: Whatever.
Aaron: Go ahead.
Adam K: I don't know, some guy's leaking
Adam K: it literally his name cyber
Adam K: leak.
Adam K: But it's like the food, the leak.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Anyway, uh, that's been there, I think like over an hour and a
Adam K: half of like gameplay has come out and the guy's just been
Adam K: mostly pedaling his own crypto.
Aaron: Nice.
Adam K: But then something happened like this morning.
Adam K: I'm still, I'm barely following
Adam K: this, but it's showing up
Adam K: everywhere.
Adam K: And I guess he burned all his Bitcoin, burned like a million
Adam K: dollars worth of Bitcoin.
Adam K: My guess is either he did that because he knows Rockstar is
Adam K: going to find him, and that's going to carry a huge penalty by
Adam K: profiting off of, uh, stolen assets, stolen IP.
Adam K: But the, uh, the working theory
Adam K: is that he's just going to leak
Adam K: the build.
Adam K: And so typically what happens to
Adam K: the Grand Theft Auto is it comes
Adam K: to consoles first for like a
Adam K: year or two, and then the next
Adam K: the PC version will come out
Adam K: after that, which makes no sense
Adam K: in today's
Aaron: I thought
Adam K: economy.
Aaron: they were releasing them all at the same time, but.
Adam K: They, they, they might have to.
Adam K: Now, that would actually be
Adam K: really cool if this forces their
Adam K: hand because
Aaron: Because
Adam K: they're
Aaron: no
Adam K: like,
Aaron: one
Adam K: well.
Aaron: has a fucking console, I
Aaron: thought, aw, no one's buying
Aaron: consoles.
Aaron: Whatever.
Adam K: I mean, they do, they're just
Adam K: stupid expensive and they're
Adam K: going up in price and they're
Adam K: old.
Adam K: So I don't know.
Adam K: I didn't buy any of those new ones, but I was looking at.
Adam K: So I, I saw some of the leaked
Adam K: footage and I was very
Adam K: impressed.
Adam K: And I was like, this looks like a pretty fucking cool game.
Adam K: I started actually looking at,
Adam K: uh, PS5's on Facebook
Adam K: Marketplace, but they're still
Adam K: going for like three hundred
Adam K: dollars used.
Adam K: I was just like, ooh, I don't know.
Adam K: So yeah, like I said, just
Adam K: keeping my PC version, uh, you
Adam K: know, nice and tidy so I can
Adam K: just, I can play in a legal
Adam K: piece of software when it comes
Adam K: out.
Aaron: I've never built a computer and
Aaron: had the parts appreciate in the
Aaron: thing.
Adam K: We live in Clown World.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: This happened with cars after the pandemic.
Adam K: They
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: went up in price.
Adam K: I made money on my Corolla.
Adam K: Very odd.
Adam K: That doesn't happen.
Adam K: Uh, and then yeah, now my I
Adam K: think it's it's going on six
Adam K: years now.
Adam K: This freaking GPUs.
Adam K: I could get more money for it if I wanted to.
Aaron: Well, anyway.
Aaron: Deploy.
Aaron: Deploy.
Adam K: Yeah, I will deploy.
Adam K: I'll it's worth it just to buy
Adam K: these credits and I'll get paid
Adam K: soon.
Adam K: My, uh, my, my military, uh,
Adam K: disability check will be coming
Adam K: soon.
Aaron: Nice.
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: Those knees are paying off.
Adam K: well, I just say like, it's me, the guy I, I was in Vietnam and
Adam K: I can't, you know, pay me.
Adam K: And they go, well, the name looks the same, so Sure.
Aaron: Oh, I see.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Yeah. Funny that actually happened.
Adam K: My dad too, is, but it was, like, more like he got his arms.
Adam K: You got, like, his shoulder hurt
Adam K: from doing push ups or
Adam K: something.
Aaron: Oh.
Adam K: And it was also Desert Storm, so.
Aaron: You broke the Covid tradition of being.
Aaron: You're like
Adam K: I
Aaron: Forrest
Adam K: did.
Aaron: Gump, but more.
Aaron: Well, whatever.
Adam K: Know
Aaron: Uh.
Adam K: what my my grandpa was in?
Adam K: Uh, I believe he was in the Korean War.
Adam K: I didn't know him well enough.
Adam K: He he passed away when I was young.
Adam K: Um, but the stories were he was in the Korean War.
Adam K: Uh, and then.
Adam K: Yeah.
Adam K: Uncle Vietnam.
Adam K: Dad, uh, desert storm.
Adam K: I was primed to go to Iraq after nine over eleven.
Aaron: Yeah. You're the right age.
Adam K: I was the exact right age.
Adam K: And I remember looking at it and
Adam K: went, hell, no, this makes no
Adam K: sense.
Adam K: I thought that we're at war with
Adam K: Afghanistan or like a terrorist
Adam K: group.
Adam K: Why are we invading?
Adam K: Like I, I had those questions then.
Adam K: Um, but unlike the Dixie chicks,
Adam K: I was smart enough not to say
Adam K: anything.
Adam K: I just, uh, was like, no, I'm gonna focus on school.
Adam K: School is important to me.
Aaron: I
Adam K: Meanwhile,
Aaron: had read
Adam K: I'm
Aaron: enough
Adam K: fairly.
Aaron: by the time I was eighteen to
Aaron: know if Bush was involved, that
Aaron: it was.
Aaron: Well, it wasn't just if Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld were
Aaron: involved as well, then things were fucked and I was not.
Aaron: There's no way in hell.
Adam K: Well, even at that time, too, I remember being like, look,
Adam K: unless there's a draft, I'm not doing this thing.
Adam K: Like I'm.
Adam K: I have no love for the military.
Adam K: Uh, I appreciate, you know, all the hard working men and women
Adam K: doing their thing, but if I were to join, I would want to go in
Adam K: the Air Force because they take care of those people.
Adam K: Uh, but my eyes don't work good.
Adam K: So yeah, if you don't have
Adam K: twenty, twenty vision,
Adam K: apparently you can't join the
Adam K: Air Force.
Adam K: So I would end up becoming a grunt.
Adam K: I would just be pushing to the
Adam K: front lines of Normandy and I
Adam K: would get shot up coming out of
Adam K: the boat.
Adam K: So.
Aaron: Cut to you in a hospital bed,
Aaron: and your little machine that
Aaron: pumps your goo in your legs
Aaron: stops working, and you just
Aaron: start screaming and, uh, some
Aaron: somewhere far off in a in a
Aaron: Venice hotel or wherever he is,
Aaron: your uncle hears you and you're
Aaron: like, mm.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: Kovic
Adam K: Who
Aaron: tradition.
Adam K: is that?
Adam K: Yeah. No, he'd be like, who is that person?
Aaron: Yeah. Who's that pussy that's screaming?
Adam K: Um, no, I, I this is only hearsay, but there was a guy my
Adam K: age in my class.
Adam K: Actually, he went and the story
Adam K: I heard was didn't even die in
Adam K: combat.
Adam K: He just flipped a Humvee and got crushed.
Adam K: Just died in, like, a car accident.
Aaron: Oh.
Adam K: Yeah. And I was like, that sucks.
Aaron: That's an awkward letter to read to as a parent or anyone when
Aaron: you're like, you know the story and then they still send you the
Aaron: letter of like, you know, it's the same Private Ryan letter of
Aaron: like, it's heroic.
Aaron: You know what he's doing?
Aaron: Blah, blah, blah.
Aaron: And he just he just hits a turn or a bump in a Humvee and eight
Aaron: thousand pounds of car turns.
Adam K: I.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: I prefer the scene from A League
Adam K: of Their Own, where it's a
Adam K: locker room full of women who
Adam K: all their husbands are fighting
Adam K: World War Two, and the telegram
Adam K: guy comes in and he's like,
Adam K: well, I hate giving out these
Adam K: letters.
Adam K: And then he's like, I can't find the name, I don't know.
Adam K: Anyway, one of you has a dead husband.
Adam K: I'll be right back.
Adam K: Good saying.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Uh, I actually enjoy that movie.
Aaron: Uh, I'm going to show.
Aaron: Yeah, I think it was time to watch that movie.
Adam K: But League of Their Own.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: The best part is when you show
Adam K: it to anyone and you go, that
Adam K: woman at the end is not Geena
Adam K: Davis with a bunch of makeup on
Adam K: her.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: It's wild.
Adam K: That is
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: wild casting,
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: I would say that.
Adam K: And then the guy that got they got in Mexico who looks like
Adam K: Willem Dafoe from Once Upon a Time in Mexico.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Like, probably those should be in a museum somewhere of best
Adam K: casting ever done in the world.
Aaron: I like that because it's like the movie where Tom Hanks isn't
Aaron: being Tom Hanks.
Aaron: Like he's really harnessing his inner piece of shit.
Aaron: And, uh,
Adam K: Baseball player.
Aaron: yeah, I
Adam K: Nuh.
Aaron: guess I could just say baseball player, but, uh.
Adam K: Uh, a more, uh uh.
Adam K: What's alcoholic?
Adam K: Uh, womanizer?
Aaron: A more accessible baseball player.
Aaron: Yeah,
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: that's
Adam K: yeah,
Aaron: what I say.
Adam K: from a different time.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: Um, and then also having to manage a group full of women and
Adam K: he ends up being endearing.
Adam K: And that's, that's when I thought, you know what?
Adam K: I shouldn't judge someone based on their Joe versus the volcano.
Aaron: Oh, yeah.
Adam K: That's not fair.
Adam K: Or they're bosom buddies.
Adam K: I actually never seen Bosom buddy, so I don't know.
Aaron: We're getting in the way.
Aaron: I gotta prepare for a meeting.
Adam K: This is what we're doing.
Adam K: We're preparing you for the meeting.
Aaron: I just come in.
Aaron: I'm like, I want you guys to
Aaron: imagine, um, a taxi cab and a
Aaron: young actor.
Aaron: I think it was Tom Hanks.
Aaron: His first appearance in anything.
Aaron: Uh, taxi.
Adam K: Was
Aaron: I.
Adam K: it that HBO show, The Taxicab Confessions?
Aaron: Know this is the nineteen
Aaron: seventies show with Christopher
Aaron: Lloyd.
Aaron: Yeah, he was in that.
Adam K: That was his first appearance.
Aaron: I think so.
Adam K: Oh, interesting.
Adam K: I'm watching hacks, and we're on the second to last season.
Adam K: And Christopher Lloyd just showed up.
Adam K: And it's a fairly recent show.
Aaron: Oh, is that where he's kind of, like, talking?
Aaron: Like he's like, oh, he kind of sounds like that now,
Adam K: I mean,
Aaron: I
Adam K: basically
Aaron: guess.
Adam K: he's just more gravelly, but
Adam K: he's also I think he's like
Adam K: ninety eight.
Aaron: Yeah, he he I can't, I can't fault him.
Aaron: He's he's lived a long illustrious career.
Adam K: It's wild when you're like, this person has no business acting.
Adam K: They should just be done and they're still doing a great job.
Adam K: So
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: it gives me hope for our future in the next five years.
Aaron: Um, I'll be fine.
Aaron: But,
Adam K: Um,
Aaron: you know.
Adam K: you really think that three year difference means anything?
Aaron: Uh, I go based off of elementary
Aaron: school rules and you're like, on
Aaron: another planet.
Adam K: Uh, I'm over there in fifth grade,
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: and you're just.
Adam K: You're still taking naps during recess.
Aaron: I'm probably taking a nap today.
Adam K: That's nice, that's nice.
Adam K: You can do that.
Adam K: I'm going to have more caffeine and just fight through it.
Aaron: No, I'm going to go to this meeting and go to the gym and.
Aaron: And realize all the little cuts
Aaron: I got over the weekend and
Aaron: reopen them
Adam K: We'll
Aaron: and.
Adam K: send me that script.
Adam K: I want to start working on it.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: And, uh, I don't know, maybe.
Adam K: Maybe it is the sort of thing
Adam K: where that could be a post this
Adam K: week where, you know, we put a,
Adam K: we have a draft of it up and we,
Adam K: you know, we can, if I, if we
Adam K: start filming it, we can start
Adam K: putting in screenshots or
Adam K: something like that just to have
Adam K: something
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: like, like the working process.
Aaron: Yeah. We'd have a whip.
Adam K: I that's, that's the electric car I'm looking at right now.
Aaron: The
Adam K: It's
Aaron: whip.
Adam K: the Polestar, the Polestar w I p
Adam K: uh, right now it's just a
Adam K: chassis, but.
Aaron: Is it really called the whip?
Adam K: Yeah, I put five hundred dollars down right now.
Adam K: I'm on the, on the list.
Adam K: Uh, says it's coming in twenty twenty
Aaron: You
Adam K: seven.
Aaron: didn't do
Adam K: So
Aaron: that, did you?
Adam K: no, I
Aaron: Okay.
Adam K: don't, I don't preorder things.
Adam K: I don't do layaway anymore.
Adam K: Um.
Aaron: I you could have told me that you did.
Aaron: And I'd be like, I believe you, you fucking idiot.
Adam K: No, the, the, the only thing I
Adam K: am capable of paying over a long
Adam K: term.
Adam K: Is a house.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: Uh, anything else?
Adam K: I just I get too much anxiety if I. Oh, I don't like doing that.
Adam K: It's just just pay it off now.
Adam K: Have it be done.
Adam K: Don't pay interest.
Adam K: It's a waste of time if you don't have the money to pay for
Adam K: it now, it's not worth getting
Aaron: Yeah.
