Aaron: Are you live from the airport?
Adam Kovic: Live from the airport.
Adam Kovic: Found one of those little phone
Adam Kovic: booths where people look really
Adam Kovic: important because they're
Adam Kovic: shouting about.
Adam Kovic: Is it up?
Adam Kovic: Is it down though?
Adam Kovic: Actually, I heard one guy on the
Adam Kovic: phone talking about the payload,
Adam Kovic: so I don't know if I should be
Adam Kovic: concerned.
Aaron: His pants were down and he was talking about.
Adam Kovic: Uh, how is the sound?
Adam Kovic: I'm using these wireless lav things.
Adam Kovic: Uh, since I'm on the road.
Aaron: It sounds like you were under a
Aaron: blanket in a couch for it, which
Aaron: is fine.
Adam Kovic: That's good.
Adam Kovic: Okay. I mean, it says it's connected, so, um.
Aaron: Yeah,
Adam Kovic: Yeah, no, it is
Aaron: yeah.
Adam Kovic: one of those soundproof booths where you could be murdered and
Adam Kovic: no one would care.
Adam Kovic: They'd just be like, I wonder how much anthropic stock he had.
Aaron: My favorite thing at an airport was seeing, uh, the the smoking
Aaron: like terrariums they have in like Germany and stuff to where
Aaron: in the middle of the airport.
Aaron: It'll just be this translucent
Aaron: box that contains all these
Aaron: smokers, and they're looking out
Aaron: at the airport and people are
Aaron: standing there looking into
Aaron: them.
Aaron: And it's just, it's, it's just
Aaron: like a great exhibit, you know,
Aaron: and.
Adam Kovic: I miss the simpler times when
Adam Kovic: TWA would just close a curtain
Adam Kovic: and be like, the smoke's back
Adam Kovic: here.
Adam Kovic: Please ignore it.
Aaron: No, the smoke is up here is what it would be, I think.
Aaron: Or maybe it was in the back, I can't.
Aaron: Well, the thing was his first class.
Aaron: You could smoke too.
Aaron: So
Adam Kovic: Right.
Aaron: you were if you were in the economy, you were sandwiched in
Aaron: between two smoking sections.
Adam Kovic: Mhm. And there's
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: just, like, this little piece of cloth will stop all the effort.
Adam Kovic: What is it called?
Adam Kovic: Whatever.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: You
Aaron: FM
Adam Kovic: get a bottle
Aaron: is
Adam Kovic: of
Aaron: Emma.
Adam Kovic: Zima for
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: Mizzima.
Aaron: Yeah,
Adam Kovic: It's
Aaron: man.
Adam Kovic: too early to talk medical stuff.
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: Um, so I drafted that newsletter for you.
Aaron: Yeah, I know.
Aaron: I'm gonna.
Aaron: I'm gonna set it off.
Aaron: Sorry.
Aaron: There's, uh, there's
Adam Kovic: I believe you.
Aaron: a lot of shit going on, but it's no excuse, and I'll sort it out.
Adam Kovic: Yeah. Um, I did that thing where I, I now have a Coinbase account
Adam Kovic: because hackers keep trying to get into my Coinbase account
Adam Kovic: that I don't have.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: You know, you get those emails, like, here's your password to
Adam Kovic: set it up.
Adam Kovic: And I'm like, fine, I'll do it.
Adam Kovic: Same thing happened with Tesla and all this other stuff.
Adam Kovic: So it's like
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: you have to preemptively make
Adam Kovic: accounts on services you'll
Adam Kovic: never use.
Adam Kovic: Um, but I was just sort of looking at the app and I'm like,
Adam Kovic: oh, there's like a, a betting market on this thing.
Adam Kovic: I didn't realize that.
Adam Kovic: And I'm just watching the Democrat Democrats taking the
Adam Kovic: Senate keep going from seventy six to seventy five.
Adam Kovic: So that'll be fun to find out how that goes today.
Aaron: Yeah. There's,
Adam Kovic: Oh.
Aaron: uh, in some, in some ways
Aaron: there's like free money to be
Aaron: had.
Aaron: Like, oh, it so for if the house race, right.
Aaron: If it says something like, you know, seventy five percent
Aaron: chance, you know, that Democrats are going to take it
Aaron: statistically, it's looking like, oh, that's a way to buy a
Aaron: dollar for seventy five cents.
Aaron: You know, like it's
Adam Kovic: Right.
Aaron: looking like that.
Aaron: But, um.
Adam Kovic: Like I'm I'm thinking about betting on Ken Paxton because
Adam Kovic: Texas always disappoints.
Aaron: What I think is actually going
Aaron: to happen is I think even more
Aaron: confusingly, is, is the tickets
Aaron: going to get split where people
Aaron: vote for Abbott for governor and
Aaron: then they vote for Talarico for
Aaron: Senate?
Aaron: And it's not like, yeah, and
Aaron: it's not like Republicans are
Aaron: changing their votes or
Aaron: something.
Aaron: It's just they're just going to stay home and they'll be
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: like, fuck this, because they still they still can't be like,
Aaron: you know, you've convinced me there's going to be like, I just
Aaron: can't, I can't bring myself to go do what I need to do and vote
Aaron: red, you know?
Aaron: So that's that's
Adam Kovic: As
Aaron: like my family, etc.,
Adam Kovic: I
Aaron: except
Adam Kovic: was listening
Aaron: my
Adam Kovic: to
Aaron: family
Adam Kovic: him.
Aaron: goes like, we have to go vote
Aaron: Republican because we always
Aaron: have.
Adam Kovic: Right.
Adam Kovic: Otherwise, the transsexuals will take our guns away, which is the
Aaron: I saw
Adam Kovic: furthest
Aaron: my brother
Adam Kovic: thing from
Aaron: this.
Adam Kovic: the truth.
Aaron: It's like because my not to call up my grandma, but my grandma's
Aaron: like my grandma's like, well, we've always voted Republican.
Aaron: And to me, it's like, it's like you touch an electric fence once
Aaron: every two years and you're, you go like, well, why you do that?
Aaron: And they're like, well, it's the only way I know how to
Aaron: completely clear out my bowels, you know, like that's
Adam Kovic: Right.
Aaron: the only way I've learned.
Aaron: And you're like, well, maybe you
Aaron: just you go get a colon cleanse
Aaron: instead.
Aaron: What I'm saying
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: is the Democrats are another way
Aaron: to empty shit out of your
Aaron: system.
Aaron: But,
Adam Kovic: Oh, yeah.
Aaron: um.
Adam Kovic: I mean, again, it's it's it's
Adam Kovic: the proverbial, uh, you know,
Adam Kovic: giant douche or turd sandwich
Adam Kovic: sort of thing, but it's like
Adam Kovic: you've got the people in charge
Adam Kovic: right now who aren't doing
Adam Kovic: anything and still blaming the
Adam Kovic: opposition for stopping
Adam Kovic: everything.
Adam Kovic: And then you got other the other side.
Adam Kovic: I sort of imploding on itself.
Adam Kovic: So it's like, it's just kind of more fun to watch.
Adam Kovic: Um, is your, is your governor up for reelection or is he done
Adam Kovic: like our governor?
Aaron: No, I mean, Abbott can get another term if
Adam Kovic: Okay,
Aaron: you know.
Adam Kovic: I didn't know, I didn't know how long he's been in that chair.
Aaron: And you know how I know he's going to win.
Aaron: Right across the street from me as I was turning on the street,
Aaron: uh, a enormous tree branch fell from this tree.
Aaron: I mean, it's got to be ten
Aaron: inches in diameter, like an
Aaron: enormous thing.
Aaron: Right.
Aaron: As I, like, turned the corner
Aaron: and it slammed into the
Aaron: pavement.
Aaron: It's still out there.
Aaron: And,
Adam Kovic: Mhm.
Aaron: uh, I take that as a sign of it's like Groundhog's Day.
Aaron: It's like four more years of Abbott.
Aaron: Um,
Adam Kovic: Oh, yeah.
Aaron: so that I think is going to happen.
Adam Kovic: Okay.
Aaron: And another weird thing
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: is happening.
Aaron: I'm getting these text messages.
Aaron: This text message says, uh, and
Aaron: they're always like vaguely
Aaron: threatening sounding, but it
Aaron: says, uh, Aaron records show
Aaron: that you already voted, but your
Aaron: housemate
Adam Kovic: Ooh.
Aaron: Oscar may not have voted yet.
Aaron: This data
Adam Kovic: Interesting.
Aaron: may be old.
Aaron: We're not election officials.
Aaron: Tomorrow is election day.
Aaron: Make sure
Adam Kovic: What
Aaron: you
Adam Kovic: did
Aaron: get out.
Adam Kovic: Oscar say?
Aaron: I don't who the fuck is Oscar?
Adam Kovic: I assume
Aaron: I don't.
Adam Kovic: that was the small Brazilian boy you keep in your basement.
Aaron: Here's the thing I
Adam Kovic: Mr.
Aaron: have
Adam Kovic: Aaron, can I please vote?
Aaron: I started accounts about fifteen or twenty years ago, uh, named
Aaron: Oscar Zeta Acosta.
Aaron: Uh, it's, uh, Hunter S Thompson's lawyer who
Aaron: disappeared in the seventies.
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: That was
Adam Kovic: Uh.
Aaron: the thing I would use to, like,
Aaron: apply to things and do all sorts
Aaron: of things.
Aaron: So Oscar, I guess, has followed me around, and somehow these,
Aaron: these threatening voter people have found him and are like, why
Aaron: hasn't Oscar voted?
Aaron: And I'm like, is this a test?
Aaron: Like, do they want me to try and vote as Oscar?
Aaron: And then that's, that just plays into the DOJ's hands.
Adam Kovic: Right.
Aaron: I
Adam Kovic: And
Aaron: don't
Adam Kovic: then
Aaron: know.
Adam Kovic: they can finally say, look, uh, voter fraud.
Aaron: We caught
Adam Kovic: But it's
Aaron: him.
Adam Kovic: just this.
Adam Kovic: Yeah, we found the guy.
Adam Kovic: It's this idiot.
Aaron: He's a, uh, he's a Mexican lawyer who everyone thought was
Aaron: dead for fifty years.
Aaron: But here he is.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: Oh,
Aaron: Anyway,
Adam Kovic: joy.
Aaron: um.
Adam Kovic: Anyway, yeah, I'm.
Adam Kovic: I'm watching with breath.
Adam Kovic: Not bated, not unabated.
Adam Kovic: Just breath.
Aaron: I'm having an election party tonight.
Adam Kovic: Really?
Adam Kovic: That's
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: fun.
Adam Kovic: I'm going
Aaron: Have
Adam Kovic: to be
Aaron: it
Adam Kovic: on a
Aaron: catered.
Adam Kovic: plane.
Aaron: I was going to invite you and
Aaron: Jess, but then I don't know why
Aaron: I didn't.
Aaron: I just figured you didn't want to come.
Aaron: You wouldn't come, so.
Adam Kovic: Well, since flying right now is it's either that or, you know,
Adam Kovic: pay your rent.
Adam Kovic: It's kind of probably,
Aaron: I have to.
Aaron: Ticket price has gone up that much?
Adam Kovic: uh, I had to book a flight from LA to Fresno for a
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: work thing.
Adam Kovic: It's like eight hundred dollars.
Aaron: I'm looking at.
Adam Kovic: It's a, it's an hour and a half flight.
Aaron: Jesus.
Aaron: I'm looking at,
Adam Kovic: It's
Aaron: uh,
Adam Kovic: stupid.
Aaron: Los Angeles flights from here.
Adam Kovic: Mhm.
Aaron: You could take southwest one
Aaron: right now for two hundred and
Aaron: thirty dollars.
Adam Kovic: Okay, that's not bad.
Aaron: What is the.
Aaron: It says the cheapest option.
Aaron: Oh. It's frontier.
Aaron: Yeah, yeah.
Aaron: Frontier.
Adam Kovic: Oh, that's.
Adam Kovic: Yeah, that's.
Adam Kovic: I never thought I'd miss the freaking Spirit Airlines, but
Adam Kovic: here we are.
Aaron: Frontier
Adam Kovic: They're not.
Aaron: is only
Adam Kovic: There's.
Aaron: one hundred and forty bucks.
Aaron: You
Adam Kovic: There's
Aaron: could
Adam Kovic: a
Aaron: be
Adam Kovic: reason.
Aaron: here.
Aaron: What is it?
Aaron: Oh, this is December.
Aaron: Whatever.
Adam Kovic: I'll just ask the plane to drop me off.
Adam Kovic: That'll go well.
Aaron: Yeah, well, planes apparently
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: are doing, uh, curbside service now, from what I've seen.
Adam Kovic: Man. Um. Spooky enough.
Adam Kovic: Why?
Adam Kovic: I kind of knew one of the people on the plane.
Aaron: What?
Adam Kovic: Um, I had produced a podcast and.
Aaron: For the.
Aaron: This that CEO.
Adam Kovic: Yeah. Adam Robinson um, I, it was one of the like years ago,
Adam Kovic: but I produced this interview that he did in Austin.
Adam Kovic: I produced a bunch of remotely
Adam Kovic: and yeah, I was like, I never
Adam Kovic: met him, but like I was in
Adam Kovic: correspondence through emails
Adam Kovic: and stuff.
Adam Kovic: And I was just like, um, the,
Adam Kovic: the host of it had messaged me
Adam Kovic: and said, um, did you see the
Adam Kovic: news?
Adam Kovic: And I was like, yeah, that's really tragic.
Adam Kovic: Like, that's the guy.
Adam Kovic: Like we, we interviewed and I
Adam Kovic: was like, oh my like, I don't
Adam Kovic: know.
Adam Kovic: It was just it was a weird.
Adam Kovic: And the more I read into it, it's like he was there with his
Adam Kovic: three beautiful kids and his lifelong wife and,
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: uh, this like wonder Coon, uh, pilot was, you know, it's like
Adam Kovic: all the and there's just like such a freak accident.
Adam Kovic: And it's just like, and I saw
Adam Kovic: the footage and I was like, it's
Adam Kovic: just.
Adam Kovic: Yeah, man.
Adam Kovic: Um,
Aaron: Yeah. I
Adam Kovic: super
Aaron: can't wait.
Aaron: My
Adam Kovic: sad.
Aaron: uncle, my uncle's going to be here tonight, and I'm going to
Aaron: hear all of his aviation expertise and tell me exactly
Aaron: why the plane went down.
Aaron: And,
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: uh, he actually knows because he.
Aaron: I mean, he works on planes, and he was there.
Aaron: So, you know, he'll be able to tell me exactly what happened.
Aaron: But yeah, that's, uh, I do like that Reddit.
Aaron: So anytime something like this happens, uh, Reddit and the
Aaron: bots, like they have their shining moments where they know
Aaron: exactly the deal and what happened and all this stuff.
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: And I saved this comment because this guy like just cut through
Aaron: the noise and called all of Reddit a bunch of pussies who
Aaron: would never be able to get their pilot's license, let alone be
Aaron: twenty years old and have an assignment like that.
Aaron: And they wouldn't have half the balls that this woman had to be
Aaron: calling out the what was going on as they were doing a May day
Aaron: and heading towards the ground and basically just
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: said all this stuff.
Aaron: And he was upvoted miraculously,
Aaron: probably by some real people who
Aaron: their last sane bastion on that
Aaron: site.
Aaron: But I had to follow that guy because I was like, God damn,
Aaron: that was good.
Aaron: I I'll have to find his, uh, his response because, I mean, I kind
Aaron: of blew it already by saying some of it, but,
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: um.
Adam Kovic: You're saying that was better than the three hundred four
Adam Kovic: hundred people trying to make the same tired joke.
Adam Kovic: Uh. Just like getting, like, just piling over each other like
Adam Kovic: a bunch of naked zombies.
Aaron: It was
Adam Kovic: Just.
Aaron: a mix of that kind of shit, but
Aaron: also, like people sure of what
Aaron: happened.
Aaron: And then part of it too, was the Reddit's incel community, which
Aaron: is the majority of the community coming out and being like, you
Aaron: know, of course, like, why would you put your life in the hands
Aaron: of a twenty year old woman pilot that, you know, just
Adam Kovic: Uh.
Aaron: kind of shit like that?
Aaron: It's like
Adam Kovic: And
Aaron: she's
Adam Kovic: it's it's just Facebook now.
Aaron: yeah,
Adam Kovic: Like,
Aaron: it's
Adam Kovic: let's
Aaron: Facebook.
Adam Kovic: just, let's just
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: just call it what it is.
Adam Kovic: Like they keep changing the algorithm.
Adam Kovic: So it's serving you things that they think you want to look at.
Adam Kovic: Like, you know, I have a
Adam Kovic: Facebook account purely for
Adam Kovic: marketplace and it keeps trying
Adam Kovic: to be like, do you want to look
Adam Kovic: at this?
Adam Kovic: I go, no, do you want to look at this?
Adam Kovic: No. And it's like, it's AI
Adam Kovic: generated art of what LA used to
Adam Kovic: look like.
Adam Kovic: No. It's like, here's something
Adam Kovic: Mark Zuckerberg said no. It's
Adam Kovic: like I
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: don't want any of it.
Adam Kovic: Um, and so like Reddit's trying to do the whole thing.
Adam Kovic: And then same with like how
Adam Kovic: their, their data is basically
Adam Kovic: garbage.
Adam Kovic: Also Google pay them a bunch of money because like, oh, you've
Adam Kovic: got good data.
Adam Kovic: It's, it's real people saying real stuff.
Adam Kovic: And then all the users started poisoning their own answers by
Adam Kovic: giving fake information.
Adam Kovic: So now Google's not promoting it as much.
Adam Kovic: So they're killing their own traffic.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam Kovic: Um, it's a fun thing to watch.
Adam Kovic: Um,
Aaron: Well,
Adam Kovic: but
Aaron: then.
Aaron: And
Adam Kovic: then.
Aaron: then the mandatory sign in that's coming to.
Adam Kovic: Oh yeah.
Adam Kovic: That's, that's always a good thing that, um, that made me
Adam Kovic: really get on X
Aaron: An
Adam Kovic: uh,
Aaron: X
Adam Kovic: can't
Aaron: is for
Adam Kovic: wait.
Aaron: now.
Aaron: And fortune
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: is is
Adam Kovic: Eight.
Aaron: nothing.
Adam Kovic: No, wait.
Aaron: Barely
Adam Kovic: No. Yeah.
Aaron: like.
Adam Kovic: For.
Aaron: The other day I saw in fortune I, I check in still every now I
Aaron: think it's just like habit since I was fifteen, you know, but,
Adam Kovic: Sure.
Aaron: um, so I check in every now and then.
Aaron: It was mostly someone had taken porn clips of porn stars and
Aaron: just put a, uh, an Indian man with a mustache, his face like
Aaron: superimposed, uh, you know, used AI deepfake and had him doing
Aaron: all of the porn like, and he looked like, you know, a, a, you
Aaron: know, tech support guy in a shirt in like a button up shirt.
Aaron: But he was doing all the porn and I was like.
Adam Kovic: If he had a headset on, that'd be.
Adam Kovic: I'd watch that.
Aaron: Yeah, but just the, just the
Aaron: mustache alone, like was just
Aaron: hilarious.
Aaron: But like, uh, but it wasn't funny enough.
Aaron: And it was below for Chan.
Aaron: And I was just like, why do I, why do I keep coming here?
Aaron: It says a lot about me.
Aaron: Um, which is I need help.
Aaron: Uh, but yeah, I don't know what the where to go anymore.
Aaron: I maybe it should just go go outside.
Aaron: But yeah.
Adam Kovic: I don't I don't know.
Adam Kovic: It's yeah, I mean, like it for Reddit does feel like it is some
Adam Kovic: version of Facebook, but everything feels AI.
Adam Kovic: And also it's like it just
Adam Kovic: regurgitates the same news over
Adam Kovic: and over.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: And yeah, for Chan still like hyper edgy.
Adam Kovic: I don't maybe go like on a there's got to be like a
Adam Kovic: supplement forum or something.
Adam Kovic: You could go on some like bodybuilding thing where people
Adam Kovic: are still funny, I don't know.
Aaron: I, I don't, I was, uh, there's
Aaron: an article that came up in man,
Aaron: was it maybe slate or one of
Aaron: these types of things where it's
Aaron: like the internet, it's time for
Aaron: the internet to, to self
Aaron: destruct and
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: something else come from the
Aaron: flames because of the, the way
Aaron: that it's changed over the last
Aaron: ten or fifteen years where we
Aaron: finally reached the tipping
Aaron: point last year of bot traffic
Aaron: overtaking human traffic and how
Aaron: it's just it's it's extremely
Aaron: caustic.
Aaron: It's an oligarchs playground.
Aaron: It's you're not seeing the
Aaron: things that you actually want to
Aaron: see.
Aaron: It's pure ad slop and, and lowest common denominator stuff.
Aaron: And, and I, and I saw it with Mika a couple days ago and she's
Aaron: like, well, you know, like the TikTok shopping and stuff like
Aaron: that seems like it's democratized, uh, you know, the
Aaron: ability to make money.
Aaron: And I'm like, no, not really.
Aaron: It's sort of like OnlyFans where oh point three percent of the
Aaron: people make over two hundred dollars a month and the rest are
Aaron: just essentially being used as, as loss leaders, as promotion
Aaron: for the, the site.
Aaron: And they're just taking, uh, money from them.
Aaron: So it's, it's really, it's the rich get richer still
Adam Kovic: So,
Aaron: and
Adam Kovic: so similar
Aaron: yeah.
Adam Kovic: thing also with YouTube.
Adam Kovic: Did you see what?
Adam Kovic: I didn't know this, but you know, you can say don't put ads
Adam Kovic: on my video.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: Um, even if you do that, they go, okay, you won't get any
Adam Kovic: money, but we're still, they're going to put ads on it,
Aaron: Yeah yeah
Adam Kovic: but it's, it's their ads.
Adam Kovic: So
Aaron: yeah.
Adam Kovic: yeah, same sort of thing where
Adam Kovic: it's like, oh, they're
Adam Kovic: democratizing.
Adam Kovic: It's like they are and they are
Adam Kovic: not like, yeah, you can upload
Adam Kovic: whatever you want within reason,
Adam Kovic: but even that sort of you have
Adam Kovic: to, you have to go through like
Adam Kovic: a, a job interview to upload
Adam Kovic: anything anymore.
Adam Kovic: Like it's.
Aaron: I realized that I realized that YouTube thing when I was, I was
Aaron: watching, uh, Gautier's, uh, uh, seminal, amazing music video of,
Aaron: uh, I'm forgetting the name of the song now or nothing
Adam Kovic: You got to keep going.
Aaron: now
Adam Kovic: There's so
Aaron: you're
Adam Kovic: many
Aaron: just somebody
Adam Kovic: goats.
Aaron: that I used
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: to know.
Aaron: Yeah. So anyway.
Adam Kovic: It sounds like one of us that I know.
Adam Kovic: What are the other ones?
Adam Kovic: What are the other ones of his that you like?
Aaron: It's the one where he's naked against the wall.
Aaron: Uh, so
Adam Kovic: You
Aaron: somebody
Adam Kovic: need to be more specific.
Aaron: used to know
Adam Kovic: I'm not coming to me.
Aaron: this man.
Aaron: Gautier, uh, didn't like the
Aaron: fame that yeah, got came from
Aaron: his video, and so he made it
Aaron: free.
Aaron: It's not monetized on YouTube.
Aaron: And then he also said people could use the song if they
Aaron: wanted, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Aaron: Anyway, the, the fact that he demonetized it didn't eventually
Aaron: didn't matter because YouTube's like, oh, awesome, this billion
Aaron: view video, we're just going to be making ads, you know, ad
Aaron: revenue off of it.
Aaron: And we don't have to give any to this guy.
Aaron: And
Adam Kovic: Yeah,
Aaron: it's just like, fuck you.
Adam Kovic: yeah.
Adam Kovic: Or the guy who I think got a
Adam Kovic: good chunk of the royalties
Adam Kovic: because it's a cover of another
Adam Kovic: song.
Aaron: Is it?
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: That's how
Adam Kovic: That
Aaron: little
Adam Kovic: was
Aaron: I
Adam Kovic: like,
Aaron: know.
Adam Kovic: that was like the tragedy of it.
Adam Kovic: I want to say I learned that from a Song Exploder.
Adam Kovic: It's a,
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam Kovic: it's a decent podcast when the host isn't talking, he lets.
Adam Kovic: He lets Lindsey Buckingham do all the talking.
Aaron: Okay.
Adam Kovic: That's fine.
Adam Kovic: Yeah,
Aaron: Crazy
Adam Kovic: well.
Aaron: hair.
Adam Kovic: Oh, I don't know.
Adam Kovic: It's an audio.
Adam Kovic: Ah, there was a Netflix show,
Adam Kovic: but it's it's a great podcast
Adam Kovic: because you listen to a song
Adam Kovic: that you know, and then they
Adam Kovic: break it out by like stem by
Adam Kovic: stem basically, and it's the
Adam Kovic: original artist talking about
Adam Kovic: it, but it's been on for so long
Adam Kovic: that now the, the host is
Adam Kovic: interjecting himself more and
Adam Kovic: he's talking.
Adam Kovic: And then at the end, he's like,
Adam Kovic: oh, by the way, I'm doing a
Adam Kovic: show.
Adam Kovic: It's like, no, no, we did not agree to this.
Adam Kovic: You, you, you interview Lindsey Buckingham.
Adam Kovic: He tells me how sad he was that Stevie Nicks didn't want to
Adam Kovic: sleep with him and how the song broke his heart.
Adam Kovic: And, you know, it made rumors what it is.
Adam Kovic: You don't talk.
Adam Kovic: That's how I feel about these things.
Aaron: Well, I guess we got our old man ranting out.
Adam Kovic: I was listening to NPR on the
Adam Kovic: way down, and they were saying
Adam Kovic: how the weather might affect
Adam Kovic: voting today.
Adam Kovic: Like it's raining.
Adam Kovic: People might not go out.
Aaron: Really?
Adam Kovic: Yeah. It's like I give up.
Adam Kovic: I don't know.
Adam Kovic: I don't know what to do.
Adam Kovic: It's if if people don't care, I don't care.
Adam Kovic: But I
Aaron: Now,
Adam Kovic: want to care.
Aaron: you've got to be better than that.
Adam Kovic: I know,
Aaron: Meanwhile,
Adam Kovic: I know.
Aaron: I'm like, not caring.
Aaron: But yeah.
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: Um, I'm going to be wearing my.
Aaron: I have a special hat for today.
Aaron: I have my, uh, make
Adam Kovic: Fuddruckers.
Aaron: Austin weird again hat
Adam Kovic: Oh!
Aaron: that's
Adam Kovic: Oh, fun.
Aaron: in Maga red.
Aaron: So I'll be wearing that as people come into my house and
Aaron: I'll be able to see how they feel because, uh, I imagine most
Aaron: of them will try and, like, look out of the corner of their eyes
Aaron: to see if it's actually the hat that they think it is.
Aaron: And then once they realize it's not.
Aaron: It'll be all right.
Aaron: But.
Adam Kovic: Yeah, yeah.
Adam Kovic: I, I salute you for your, your hard work.
Adam Kovic: Um, I think that's, that's very
Adam Kovic: noble of you to fuck with your
Adam Kovic: friends.
Aaron: Yeah, I and my neighbors.
Adam Kovic: Yeah. What are you looking at on your screen now?
Adam Kovic: I hear the clicking persistently.
Aaron: Oh, I. Someone is trying to message me
Adam Kovic: Thank
Aaron: about
Adam Kovic: you.
Aaron: a shoot and I'm trying to.
Aaron: There's, uh, I had to write a thing a. I had to ghost write a
Aaron: thing about how.
Aaron: Even though the economy is about
Aaron: to crash, that, uh, doesn't mean
Aaron: anything.
Aaron: And you don't need to change
Aaron: what you're doing at your
Aaron: company.
Aaron: And it kind of disturbed me because I'm like, I'm just
Aaron: having deja vu.
Aaron: Um, because I feel like I wrote something like this a few years
Aaron: ago, uh, when things were crashing, so I don't.
Aaron: Yeah.
Aaron: Anyway.
Adam Kovic: Yeah, it's I, all I know is twenty twenty seven is going to
Adam Kovic: be a very strange year.
Adam Kovic: And I'm, I'm hoping for the
Adam Kovic: positive outcome with the way
Adam Kovic: things are going, but I don't
Adam Kovic: know.
Adam Kovic: It's I guess whatever it is, my thought is, well, it's got to be
Adam Kovic: better than what it is today.
Adam Kovic: But then Nvidia just jacked up
Adam Kovic: the price of their video cards
Adam Kovic: and they're five hundred
Adam Kovic: dollars.
Adam Kovic: I'm like, oh, it could always get worse.
Adam Kovic: It's it's just that reminder of like, well, burn it all down.
Adam Kovic: Well, it typically in this country and parts of the world,
Adam Kovic: it doesn't get burned down.
Adam Kovic: It's a slow erosion or it's a slow change, but rarely and
Adam Kovic: often never does it go back to the way things were.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: So it's just sort of like you got to get used to a bottle of
Adam Kovic: water costing nine dollars in the hotel lobby.
Aaron: Well, yeah.
Aaron: I mean, I was talking with
Aaron: someone about this the other
Aaron: day.
Aaron: In our lifetime, you and I are
Aaron: going to go somewhere, and we're
Aaron: going to pay fifty five dollars
Aaron: for a club sandwich or seventy
Aaron: five dollars for a club
Aaron: sandwich.
Aaron: And we're going to be we're
Aaron: going to go like, oh, I remember
Aaron: when a club sandwich was fifteen
Aaron: dollars and they'll be like, put
Aaron: the blanket over our shoulders
Aaron: and be like, grandpa, it's
Aaron: getting late.
Adam Kovic: Yeah,
Aaron: I'm like, it's
Adam Kovic: except
Aaron: nine in the morning.
Adam Kovic: if
Aaron: Um.
Adam Kovic: they were going to be pumped up of so much Reddit to tide and
Adam Kovic: all these other GLP ones that we're still going to look
Aaron: Come
Adam Kovic: like we're
Aaron: on,
Adam Kovic: in
Aaron: grandpa,
Adam Kovic: our forties.
Aaron: let's go get you your peptides.
Adam Kovic: Yeah, I want muscles.
Aaron: Yeah. My
Adam Kovic: Uh, and
Aaron: muscles
Adam Kovic: then we're gonna,
Aaron: are tired.
Adam Kovic: we're gonna, we're gonna live to over one hundred and forty and
Adam Kovic: we're still going to be working and being replaced by AI.
Adam Kovic: So
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: I don't know.
Adam Kovic: Yeah. It'll be a feudal class.
Aaron: I'm
Adam Kovic: Peasants
Aaron: imagining
Adam Kovic: will rise again.
Aaron: job postings where, like, must
Aaron: have at least fifty years of
Aaron: copywriting experience.
Adam Kovic: Maybe
Aaron: I'm
Adam Kovic: we'll just
Aaron: like.
Adam Kovic: start.
Adam Kovic: We'll just merge with other humans.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: And so that way they're like,
Adam Kovic: okay, we got to get populations
Adam Kovic: down.
Adam Kovic: So we found a way to just combine brains into one.
Adam Kovic: You got between the two of you, you got to do a coin flip and
Adam Kovic: decide who gets the body.
Adam Kovic: But, um, this, this will cut down on the housing shortage.
Adam Kovic: Like, can you just build more homes?
Adam Kovic: No, you got we got to do the brain thing.
Aaron: I
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: still liked your idea of
Aaron: creating a company that managed
Aaron: multiple, um, jobs that you're
Aaron: working.
Aaron: That that's a, it's basically a
Aaron: pyramid scheme for having
Aaron: overemployment.
Aaron: And it's just like it, you, you manage your company is basically
Aaron: every, a bunch of different jobs that other companies.
Aaron: And I, I liked
Adam Kovic: Was
Aaron: that.
Adam Kovic: that my idea that I have that idea?
Aaron: Maybe it's my idea.
Aaron: And I thought about telling you and I didn't tell
Adam Kovic: I
Aaron: you.
Adam Kovic: think I, I had an idea for a sitcom that was like, very It's
Aaron: Maybe
Adam Kovic: Sunny in
Aaron: this
Adam Kovic: Philadelphia.
Aaron: is it.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: Yeah. And it was, it was
Adam Kovic: inspired by you when you sent me
Adam Kovic: that photo of you with three
Adam Kovic: laptops being in three meetings
Adam Kovic: because a select few people were
Adam Kovic: taking advantage of the remote
Adam Kovic: work, uh, situation during the
Adam Kovic: pandemic.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam Kovic: And so yeah, the, the idea was like sort of this it crowd, um,
Adam Kovic: setup where it's like, it's two guys who are weighing over their
Adam Kovic: heads and they've just, they, they have like, yeah, thirty two
Adam Kovic: jobs between the two of them.
Adam Kovic: And so they have to start hiring
Adam Kovic: people to do the jobs that they
Adam Kovic: can't do.
Aaron: Yes.
Adam Kovic: Um, but those guys are also overemployed.
Adam Kovic: So it's just, it's this house of cards that's basically inverted.
Adam Kovic: Um, and then yeah, they bring on a project manager who's supposed
Adam Kovic: to like, who's like their first legitimate employee, but she's
Adam Kovic: as crooked as the rest of them.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: Um, Um, yeah, I again, it was, it was just an idea.
Adam Kovic: I who knows, maybe maybe put that together.
Adam Kovic: You're supposed to make a show about the Detroit auto scene
Adam Kovic: with gay character.
Aaron: Well,
Adam Kovic: That
Aaron: I was
Adam Kovic: would have
Aaron: watching
Adam Kovic: been cool.
Aaron: this, this, um, there's a bunch
Aaron: of examples of it and this is
Aaron: like nothing new over the last
Aaron: six months, but basically people
Aaron: shooting in a studio like a
Aaron: white squall, you know, and they
Aaron: might put minimal props, but
Aaron: they, uh, they're doing these
Aaron: like scene overlays on actual
Aaron: acting.
Aaron: And
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: I was like, man, this, how is this any different than Marvel
Aaron: or anything like that?
Aaron: If you did it in a, you know,
Aaron: for instance, like with Detroit
Aaron: muscle that show that you're
Aaron: talking about like that, you
Aaron: know, you have two people in a
Aaron: nineteen sixties office with a
Aaron: Pontiac assembly line outside
Aaron: the window, you know, like it's
Aaron: why not?
Aaron: You know, in
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: fact.
Adam Kovic: No, it's it's.
Adam Kovic: And it's getting better.
Adam Kovic: So it's that thing where it's, it's just like, well, do you
Adam Kovic: have the credits?
Adam Kovic: You know, do
Aaron: Right.
Adam Kovic: you have it because it's still going to cost thirty thousand
Adam Kovic: dollars in video generations and they might be good.
Adam Kovic: I'm, I'm still kind of waiting for that thing where it's like,
Adam Kovic: it is perfect and it is fully realized and it's fully 3D.
Adam Kovic: So you can go in because yeah, I mean, like you're saying, the
Adam Kovic: way it should be is you just, you focus on the script, you
Adam Kovic: make a solid script, you make a solid season, solid movie,
Adam Kovic: whatever it is, you have a beginning, middle and end.
Adam Kovic: And it's like, it's a satisfying thing.
Adam Kovic: Instead of like trying to like
Adam Kovic: build a plane as you're taking
Adam Kovic: off sort of thing, which is kind
Adam Kovic: of like how movies are made
Adam Kovic: right now.
Adam Kovic: So like if, but again, too, it's
Adam Kovic: whatever it's called Jevons
Adam Kovic: paradox or whatever, where it's
Adam Kovic: like, so now they're just going
Adam Kovic: to, they're going to keep doing
Adam Kovic: the shitty production flow using
Adam Kovic: these new tools, but they're
Adam Kovic: still not going to have a script
Adam Kovic: ready.
Adam Kovic: But for nobodies like you and I,
Adam Kovic: we can put something together
Adam Kovic: and be like, yeah, we've got a
Adam Kovic: great scene.
Adam Kovic: We have a great cast and that's pretty much all you need.
Adam Kovic: And then, yeah, you could
Adam Kovic: theoretically build it all up
Adam Kovic: and post.
Adam Kovic: Um.
Aaron: I actually have a, there's a, a film idea that I want to run by
Aaron: you that originally it was going to be a second.
Aaron: Well, I guess it would be a
Aaron: third book thing that I wanted
Aaron: to work on, but I was thinking
Aaron: about.
Aaron: I was like, this could be
Aaron: possibly something we could
Aaron: shoot.
Aaron: That is a lot of it's practical,
Aaron: but you know, some help with
Aaron: kind of scene generation AI film
Aaron: stuff.
Aaron: But I'll tell you about it after this.
Aaron: But, um,
Adam Kovic: Yeah. When we do our real meeting.
Aaron: when we do the real meeting, but, you
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: know, and it's part of the main
Aaron: characters kind of, uh, like my
Aaron: dad.
Aaron: So maybe that's a little carrot for you, you know?
Aaron: Um,
Adam Kovic: All right.
Aaron: yeah.
Aaron: And,
Adam Kovic: MM.
Aaron: uh, he may or may not get in a standoff with the local police,
Aaron: you know, whatever.
Aaron: But.
Adam Kovic: I'm interested.
Adam Kovic: Well,
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: with that I have nothing to contribute this week.
Adam Kovic: I'll probably have some time to put something together.
Adam Kovic: Um, but I don't know.
Adam Kovic: I'm like, I'm not feeling anything.
Adam Kovic: I'm not feeling like I have
Adam Kovic: anything of purpose to say right
Adam Kovic: now.
Adam Kovic: It all just feels like it's all very much outside my scope.
Adam Kovic: Like I'm just an observer of this, these wild times.
Adam Kovic: And I don't know if I have any anything of value to say.
Aaron: I will put out the Election Day
Aaron: special, uh, newsletter right
Aaron: now.
Adam Kovic: Next
Aaron: And,
Adam Kovic: week.
Aaron: uh, something else that happened yesterday.
Aaron: Of course, the OJ Simpson
Aaron: documentary came out, um, on
Aaron: NBC.
Aaron: Yeah.
Aaron: Uh,
Adam Kovic: Oh.
Aaron: which I know you knew about.
Aaron: No, it came out on Sunday.
Aaron: Fuck!
Aaron: God damn it.
Aaron: Uh.
Aaron: Anyway.
Adam Kovic: You're confused about dates as our own FBI.
Aaron: The documentary
Adam Kovic: Good on you.
Aaron: everyone has been talking about that you've seen mentioned many
Aaron: times on social media, the OJ Simpson documentary, the new one
Aaron: that came out on
Adam Kovic: I
Aaron: Sunday.
Adam Kovic: was going to watch Resident Evil as directed by the guy from the
Adam Kovic: Whitest kids u know.
Aaron: Um, the one that
Adam Kovic: That's my
Aaron: he tried
Adam Kovic: my
Aaron: to
Adam Kovic: plan.
Aaron: make look like the video game, which just makes you want to
Aaron: play the video game.
Adam Kovic: Maybe I might play the video game.
Adam Kovic: I'm.
Adam Kovic: I'm so behind on those things.
Adam Kovic: I don't know.
Adam Kovic: But now that everything's getting, uh, de comped and I can
Adam Kovic: play it on my Game Boy advance, it's gonna be a it's gonna be a
Adam Kovic: great time to replay old games.
Aaron: Now that I can play it on my
Aaron: Samsung refrigerator, I'm
Aaron: really.
Adam Kovic: As intended by the original developer.
Adam Kovic: Yes.
Adam Kovic: Um, now I do want to.
Adam Kovic: Yeah, I, uh, I'm trying to find,
Adam Kovic: like, what I have to say about
Adam Kovic: slop tank because I'm excited
Adam Kovic: about it.
Adam Kovic: And then also, freaking Grand
Adam Kovic: Theft Auto is coming out in like
Adam Kovic: two weeks.
Aaron: Oh, yeah.
Aaron: That's right.
Adam Kovic: And I don't care.
Adam Kovic: Is that weird?
Aaron: Uh, he was old.
Aaron: Yeah. You're you're sounding old, but.
Aaron: No, I mean, that's, uh, my for me personally, and I think a lot
Aaron: of people feel like this, but a lot of people feel in a lot of
Aaron: different ways, but they probably like, how can you care
Aaron: about something like this when the world around you is in its
Aaron: weird way right now burning,
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: etc.?
Aaron: Um, maybe that's not what you were thinking, but it, it can be
Aaron: hard for me to be like, sit down and want to watch something or
Aaron: do something because it's just, you know, you get too wrapped up
Aaron: in maybe it's just trying to take a step away from online
Aaron: stuff and stop watching.
Adam Kovic: It was.
Adam Kovic: It was more of I can't really afford a PS5 right now,
Aaron: Oh, okay.
Adam Kovic: but
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: yeah, they're really expensive.
Adam Kovic: So I'm think I'm just going to wait for it to come to PC.
Adam Kovic: And I'm, I'm at that age where I'm like, well, I haven't been
Adam Kovic: checking the calendar when this game's going to come out.
Adam Kovic: So it's that, that time in my life where years are flying by
Adam Kovic: and I'm just sort of like, oh, is there a new grand theft?
Adam Kovic: That's cool.
Adam Kovic: You know, the guys in the at the Spartan final were very excited
Adam Kovic: about it, talking about it.
Adam Kovic: I'm trying to buy my Halloween candy.
Aaron: And then when you're of the age when the PS twelve comes out and
Aaron: it's one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars and
Adam Kovic: I'm.
Aaron: you're you.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: It's no, I'm.
Adam Kovic: Do you remember the old PlayStation two commercial where
Adam Kovic: it's like they show the ad for the PS nine and the guy like
Adam Kovic: inhales a bunch of beads and it's like a drug and it takes
Adam Kovic: them to a whole new world.
Aaron: No, I don't
Adam Kovic: Okay.
Aaron: remember.
Adam Kovic: I'm. I'm more.
Adam Kovic: That's what I'm looking forward to.
Adam Kovic: As dumb as it is, is Sony
Adam Kovic: somehow magically getting to the
Adam Kovic: PS nine and people people like
Adam Kovic: me being like, where are the
Adam Kovic: beads?
Adam Kovic: How, what?
Adam Kovic: Where do I sniff the console?
Adam Kovic: Where do I inject the nanomachine so I can
Aaron: It's the back
Adam Kovic: live
Aaron: to the future
Adam Kovic: this thing?
Aaron: thing where
Adam Kovic: Yeah.
Aaron: it's twenty fifteen, where's my hoverboard and jaws ten
Adam Kovic: Right.
Aaron: and all that shit?
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam Kovic: This, this thing, the people who probably produce the commercial
Adam Kovic: are long dead, and the people in charge at Sony right now
Adam Kovic: probably don't remember that.
Adam Kovic: And I'm the one person there will be multiples.
Adam Kovic: There'll be people like me
Adam Kovic: making those same tired jokes on
Adam Kovic: whatever.
Adam Kovic: You know, blob Reddit is of just like, ah, it doesn't have beads.
Adam Kovic: Huh?
Adam Kovic: Mhm.
Adam Kovic: Uh. Everything's tired.
Aaron: Well, good luck on your flight.
Adam Kovic: Thank you.
Adam Kovic: I'm I you know, I have absolutely.
Adam Kovic: I mean, I have no control over the situation, so I just I'm
Adam Kovic: going to I'm going to hope Resident Evil entertains me the
Adam Kovic: whole way there.
Aaron: Well, good.
Aaron: Well, I have to literally, uh, ten minutes ago, I was supposed
Aaron: to be prepping for a meeting, but, um, we, uh, we'll talk.
Aaron: We'll talk about creative, about using.
Aaron: I have an idea for something.
Aaron: I'll see if you like it or not.
Aaron: Great.
Aaron: Broad things.
Aaron: Yes.
Aaron: Broad talk.
Adam Kovic: Okay. I'm excited.
Adam Kovic: I'm excited to hear about the broad's
Aaron: Um.
Adam Kovic: the broad sword, the broad com.
Aaron: I'm gonna
Adam Kovic: Women.
Aaron: go back to clicking.
Adam Kovic: Okay. I'll talk to you later.
Aaron: All right.
Aaron: Bye.
Adam Kovic: But.
