October 26 2026

Adam Kovic: Good morning, Houston, not Vietnam.

Aaron: Uh, I mean, some parts of Houston.

Adam Kovic: Yeah, I wish I was in Vietnam.

Aaron: I'm

Adam Kovic: Back.

Aaron: actually trying to.

Aaron: I'm planning a March trip, and,

Aaron: uh, I was going to go to China,

Aaron: but Vietnam's

Adam Kovic: On foot.

Aaron: over there, too.

Aaron: What?

Adam Kovic: On foot.

Aaron: Uh, no. Uh, I'm going to take an airline, and

Adam Kovic: MM.

Aaron: I assume there'll be a rickshaw at some point, but.

Adam Kovic: Okay, Mr. millionaire, affording your premium economy.

Adam Kovic: Flights across

Aaron: Actually, I'm trying

Adam Kovic: oceans.

Aaron: to figure out the points game because, uh.

Adam Kovic: Oh, here.

Adam Kovic: You're at that age.

Aaron: Well, the thing is, I have a couple of friends who I know

Aaron: they don't make any money.

Aaron: One works at a hot dog stand,

Aaron: but he travels all over the

Aaron: world.

Aaron: And I think I think it's because he's opened up like fifty credit

Aaron: cards and it's just

Adam Kovic: Mhm.

Aaron: keeps, you know, punting the the

Aaron: balance or I don't know what

Aaron: he's doing,

Adam Kovic: It's

Aaron: but.

Adam Kovic: what the younger generations are

Adam Kovic: doing, which is it's just

Adam Kovic: everything's alone.

Adam Kovic: Uh, what are the the different, not cash.

Adam Kovic: What are the all the little things people are using?

Adam Kovic: Just pay it back later, you know?

Adam Kovic: And then when you die at forty five, they can't get the money

Adam Kovic: from you because you're dead.

Adam Kovic: It's a

Aaron: You

Adam Kovic: pretty

Aaron: know,

Adam Kovic: good system.

Aaron: it's funny because so all of these poor people and lower

Aaron: middle income, well, and middle income people doing the, uh,

Aaron: yeah, the car, Canva, whatever, all these loan things.

Aaron: Like it's

Adam Kovic: Kavana.

Aaron: a,

Adam Kovic: Yeah. It's all

Aaron: it's

Adam Kovic: kavana.

Aaron: all carbon.

Aaron: It's the same thing that

Aaron: billionaires do with stock

Aaron: equity lines of credit, like sea

Aaron: lochs,

Adam Kovic: You're

Aaron: they

Adam Kovic: not

Aaron: literally,

Adam Kovic: wrong.

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: they borrow against money.

Aaron: They, they don't have they in theory have in stocks, but they

Aaron: just keep borrowing against this, this asset that they never

Aaron: cash in and they just keep pushing the loan until they die.

Aaron: Like it's, it's not like it's different, you know, from what

Aaron: billionaires are doing.

Aaron: It's just it, you know, you're

Aaron: financing instead, uh, you know,

Aaron: your groceries

Adam Kovic: Yeah,

Aaron: for the week.

Adam Kovic: let's listen to some, uh, some podcasts.

Adam Kovic: And that guy, uh, that the CEO of Nvidia was on it, Jensen

Adam Kovic: Wong, and he was talking to it.

Adam Kovic: It's always funny listening to rich people on podcasts because

Adam Kovic: they're so disconnected from the rest of the world.

Adam Kovic: He's like, I don't know my home address.

Adam Kovic: I don't know my phone number.

Adam Kovic: I'm like, that must be nice, insane person, insane,

Aaron: Uh.

Adam Kovic: rich human.

Adam Kovic: And then I was listening to this other one.

Adam Kovic: I was trying to find some like something that was probably a

Adam Kovic: bit more positive in the world when it came to like podcasts.

Adam Kovic: So there was this one called moonshot, but I ended up finding

Adam Kovic: out that it's just a bunch of rich VC guys talking about how

Adam Kovic: great AI is.

Aaron: Mhm.

Adam Kovic: And this last one I was listening to, you're talking

Adam Kovic: about how great AI is going to make everything, and it's going

Adam Kovic: to give us all this abundance all of a sudden like, well,

Adam Kovic: imagine if we had a big company like SpaceX because Elon, they

Adam Kovic: always call Elon Musk.

Adam Kovic: Elon, they call him by his first name,

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: which is just like the most.

Aaron: Lonnie.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. Oh yeah, I was I was texting Loni the other day.

Adam Kovic: Oh me too.

Adam Kovic: Me too.

Adam Kovic: Like, yeah, just just the little parasites holding on

Aaron: Mhm.

Adam Kovic: for dear life.

Adam Kovic: Uh, hoping they, they get to go with their, their God king.

Aaron: Plankton.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. Something whatever the, the bottom, the rich bottom

Adam Kovic: feeders are, um, but they're talking about how Elon Elon's

Adam Kovic: giving away his stock.

Adam Kovic: He's giving one stock away to a child, which is like whatever,

Adam Kovic: uh, one hundred dollars or something like that.

Adam Kovic: They're like, that's how it should be.

Adam Kovic: Like the public would be more into this if they, everyone got

Adam Kovic: a share of these companies and then they would distribute.

Adam Kovic: It's like they're, they're just tiptoeing around socialism

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: and communism and all these

Adam Kovic: things without trying to call it

Adam Kovic: that because of the the negative

Adam Kovic: tone, those things are the just

Adam Kovic: just the negative weight, all

Adam Kovic: that carries.

Adam Kovic: And then they're talking about like, well, you know, rich

Adam Kovic: people are making all this money and they're, they're getting

Adam Kovic: dangerously close to saying tax the wealthy, but well, don't

Adam Kovic: because those are my friends

Aaron: Mhm.

Adam Kovic: as just, um, it was interesting

Adam Kovic: to listen to mental gymnastics

Adam Kovic: live.

Adam Kovic: It was good.

Aaron: Yeah. And then also dance around the fact that they're giving all

Aaron: this stock away to kids so Elon himself can cash out, you

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: know, so they're left holding the bag so that they're

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: one hundred and forty dollars.

Aaron: Space X share becomes twenty dollars.

Aaron: And Musk is already, you know, jettisoned himself off to Hawaii

Aaron: or wherever he's going.

Aaron: He's not gonna he's not going to retire in Texas.

Aaron: Well, he's not going to retire, but it's not like he's going to

Aaron: compound up in Texas, even

Adam Kovic: Right.

Aaron: though he has a compound in

Aaron: Austin and in Bastrop or

Aaron: whatever, because.

Adam Kovic: Like he's talking, keeps talking about going to Mars.

Adam Kovic: Uh, what we don't know is that that's what he calls his

Adam Kovic: compound in Hawaii.

Aaron: Yeah, yeah.

Adam Kovic: Let's colonize Mars. But colony of one.

Aaron: He could just pretend and film

Aaron: at certain angles on top of the

Aaron: volcano in his backyard and just

Aaron: be like, here I am on the

Aaron: Martian surface.

Aaron: And then someone comes off screen with a little umbrella,

Aaron: drinks like, Mr. Lonnie, I have your drink for you.

Aaron: He's like, get the fuck.

Aaron: Come on.

Adam Kovic: Anyway.

Adam Kovic: It must be nice to be rich, is what I'm getting at.

Adam Kovic: And

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: I'm just going to keep believing the lie that AI is going to make

Adam Kovic: our lives better.

Aaron: Well, I was telling you about

Aaron: how I was reading about Black

Aaron: October the last couple of days,

Aaron: and,

Adam Kovic: Yeah, you.

Adam Kovic: You

Aaron: uh.

Adam Kovic: just texted me Black October and

Adam Kovic: I was like, is this similar to

Adam Kovic: Black Friday?

Adam Kovic: What kind of what's on sale?

Adam Kovic: Where can I buy a new motherboard?

Adam Kovic: Because it still hasn't come from China.

Aaron: It's, um, it's the thing.

Aaron: So you didn't look up it at all, I guess.

Adam Kovic: Know

Aaron: Right.

Adam Kovic: I was.

Adam Kovic: I was driving in the desert.

Adam Kovic: I barely had service.

Aaron: Black. Black October is what

Aaron: some people in the tech sphere

Aaron: are labeling this month, because

Aaron: there's been a kind of an

Aaron: exponential rise in AI bot

Aaron: attacks on websites and, you

Aaron: know, institutions and things

Aaron: like that.

Aaron: And, you know, the, the bigger the big headline thing, the last

Aaron: week or so was the PHP, you know, uh, vulnerabilities where

Aaron: it's, you know, seventy percent of the web is built on PHP or

Aaron: has PHP built into it.

Aaron: And, uh, AI found, uh, kind of

Aaron: an, they exploited a loophole or

Aaron: exploited a, a hole in the

Aaron: security.

Aaron: And it was a big deal.

Aaron: But so these, these tech people

Aaron: are saying Black October marks

Aaron: the beginning of an ever

Aaron: increasing swarm of attacks that

Aaron: could lead to, you know,

Aaron: possibly because municipalities

Aaron: are automated and financial

Aaron: institutions are automated and

Aaron: people use the same passwords

Aaron: for everything.

Aaron: There's this like cats and dogs sleeping with each other

Aaron: mentality that that there'll just be this tipping point where

Aaron: things are getting hacked to such a degree that something's

Aaron: going to fall, a major institution, a major, a

Aaron: government or this or that.

Aaron: And the power will go out on this, and it will lead to a lack

Aaron: of security here.

Aaron: And it'll just be a cascade of attacks that could lead to two

Aaron: or three weeks without power or access to bank accounts or, you

Aaron: know, whatever the case is.

Aaron: And, and there's these people

Aaron: sounding alarms and the DoD is,

Aaron: is doing like, uh, I guess like

Aaron: kind of

Adam Kovic: Like

Aaron: games,

Adam Kovic: war games.

Aaron: war games,

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: you know, like, what do we do when, uh, there's ninety days

Aaron: without civilian power, you

Adam Kovic: Mhm.

Aaron: know, and that kind of stuff.

Aaron: So

Adam Kovic: Who do we eat first?

Aaron: yeah, I mean, I've been buying lots of dog food for both me, my

Aaron: dog, and Mika.

Adam Kovic: And the ration.

Adam Kovic: Off to the neighbors, or, I guess, lottery off.

Aaron: So they can gather and throw gold at my feet and I'll

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: give them their pedigree.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. I still remember it was, I

Adam Kovic: don't know, like early days in

Adam Kovic: the pandemic and going to

Adam Kovic: sprouts, you know, the health

Adam Kovic: food store.

Adam Kovic: And someone was there with two

Adam Kovic: carts full of food of like stuff

Adam Kovic: that's going to expire in three

Adam Kovic: days.

Adam Kovic: But, um, no, I, it's always fun to see us all in a, in a moral

Adam Kovic: panic and a, just a human panic.

Aaron: I'm looking forward to whatever

Aaron: this thing that's going to

Aaron: happen.

Aaron: You know, the whatever the Trump thing is going to happen, I. It

Aaron: may not be because of him, but ultimately it usually happens

Aaron: when he's around.

Adam Kovic: Mhm.

Aaron: I'm excited because it usually works out pretty well for me.

Aaron: Like, again, the pandemic that freeze in twenty twenty one in

Adam Kovic: Mhm.

Aaron: Texas where like everything has had stopped and I was like

Aaron: reaping the benefits.

Aaron: Like it usually goes, well, now

Aaron: I'm going to knock on wood

Aaron: because, uh, you know, maybe

Aaron: that won't be the case this

Aaron: time, but usually it's pretty

Aaron: good.

Aaron: Like I like when the March thirteenth during the pandemic,

Aaron: when Trump gave his press conference and announced that he

Aaron: was doing like lockdowns or, you know, there was like a national

Aaron: emergency and I lost every contract I had for production

Aaron: all that day.

Aaron: Like I literally got a call during the press conference.

Aaron: But anyway, that night I went to

Aaron: a drag show, uh, where they were

Aaron: just throwing rolls of toilet

Aaron: paper and there was a a big drag

Aaron: show woman dressed as a Covid

Aaron: nineteen.

Aaron: Molecule throwing paper.

Aaron: Toilet paper at everyone.

Aaron: Now, people didn't understand at the time that they should have

Aaron: caught that toilet paper and hoarded it, because

Adam Kovic: Mhm.

Aaron: the next week it was all gone.

Aaron: But anyway, that next week I had

Aaron: like tons of work coming in from

Aaron: like literati stuff and all

Aaron: sorts of strange things

Aaron: happening.

Adam Kovic: All right.

Aaron: The I got, I hooked up with a, a Brazilian woman at that, at

Aaron: that, uh, trans, uh, drag show.

Aaron: I, I met this Brazilian woman who he was definitely a woman.

Adam Kovic: Mhm.

Aaron: And, you know, we ended up, uh,

Aaron: seeing each other and getting,

Aaron: um, uh, you know, all the

Aaron: restaurants were doing like

Aaron: little packages that you would

Aaron: take and, you know, secure, like

Aaron: no contact margarita kits and

Aaron: Mexican food.

Aaron: It was a great time.

Aaron: Now I understand that there were some people in

Adam Kovic: Who died.

Aaron: the hospital?

Adam Kovic: Oh, okay.

Aaron: Yeah. And without work.

Adam Kovic: Mhm.

Aaron: But, you know, we're talking about me right now.

Adam Kovic: My biggest takeaway from all that is I did not take advantage

Adam Kovic: of the small business loan that we absolutely should have done

Adam Kovic: for our small business.

Aaron: Oh, yeah.

Aaron: And

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: not paid it back.

Adam Kovic: And never paid it back.

Adam Kovic: There

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: were so many illegitimate businesses.

Adam Kovic: And I was like, we we did the real bootstrap thing.

Adam Kovic: We're like, well, let's do this for as cheap as possible because

Adam Kovic: times are tough.

Adam Kovic: Not realizing that the government's just like toilet

Adam Kovic: paper at a drag show.

Adam Kovic: They're just throwing money at people.

Aaron: The trick would have been,

Aaron: though, is to not take, like, a

Aaron: logical amount.

Aaron: Like we couldn't have taken like, twenty five or fifty grand

Aaron: and not pay it back because that would have been suspicious.

Aaron: We wouldn't take out like seventy five million dollars.

Adam Kovic: I was thinking like a weird

Adam Kovic: number, like twenty six thousand

Adam Kovic: seven

Aaron: No

Adam Kovic: hundred

Aaron: no no

Adam Kovic: and twenty eight and thirty five cents.

Aaron: no no.

Adam Kovic: No.

Aaron: Aye aye.

Aaron: Amount of money so big that they're scared to even know what

Aaron: it's for or who's behind it.

Adam Kovic: I like your thinking.

Adam Kovic: I'm

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: currently looking forward to

Adam Kovic: Nicki Minaj being the new press

Adam Kovic: secretary.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: That's that's, I think will be the best thing to come out of

Adam Kovic: all of this.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: I cannot wait, and I hope this is like that situation where

Adam Kovic: she's the she's the one that stays the longest.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: And it just devolves into her screaming at people.

Adam Kovic: I'm looking

Aaron: Her answers

Adam Kovic: forward to that.

Aaron: to some questions are just her

Aaron: clicking her her fake nails on

Aaron: the podium.

Aaron: And that's the comment like AP has to quote her as clickity

Aaron: clack, clickity clack.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. I'm just I'm excited for that.

Adam Kovic: I, I, I want to see like Ben Shapiro's head explode.

Adam Kovic: You know how he had a complete meltdown over WAP being a thing,

Aaron: Mhm.

Adam Kovic: and then he's gonna have to deal with this woman who he's

Adam Kovic: insanely attracted to, but can't admit because his racist

Adam Kovic: audience wouldn't forgive him.

Adam Kovic: Anyway.

Aaron: I just, I, I'm kind of sad that like, so Trump was introduced or

Aaron: I guess yesterday or the day before, you know, saying like,

Aaron: and how about that ass, you know, like, I wish that the

Aaron: dementia was progressed a little further to where he's like.

Aaron: And, uh, speaking of wet pussies.

Adam Kovic: That's a different singer.

Adam Kovic: But

Aaron: Oh, I thought she did wet.

Aaron: I thought she did.

Adam Kovic: no, you're getting her mixed up with Cardi B

Aaron: Oh.

Adam Kovic: and Megan Thee Stallion

Aaron: Is

Adam Kovic: and

Aaron: that racist?

Adam Kovic: a little bit.

Adam Kovic: I mean, I also would get I'd get Cardi B, Nicki Minaj and Doja

Adam Kovic: Cat mixed up sometimes.

Adam Kovic: There

Aaron: Mhm.

Adam Kovic: they have a similar sound.

Adam Kovic: It's kind of like how for a while, every thing I was I. I

Adam Kovic: heard on Spotify sounded like Billie Eilish for a while.

Adam Kovic: It's

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: just, it just happens.

Aaron: Now Lizzo had her staff eat

Aaron: bananas out of Dutch prostitutes

Aaron: vaginas.

Aaron: This is correct, I know her.

Adam Kovic: There's this new report that came out I don't have time to

Adam Kovic: read, but I guess I'll, I'll add that to my Kindle.

Aaron: Yeah, well,

Adam Kovic: Uh, so

Aaron: what's great is, is

Adam Kovic: so

Aaron: Mika's

Adam Kovic: much.

Aaron: mom was is a big Lizzo fan.

Aaron: And keep in mind, uh, her mom is a seventy year old woman.

Aaron: Very, uh, fit, but she weighs about one hundred pounds.

Aaron: She's speaks with, like a

Aaron: Tennessee accent and all this

Aaron: stuff, very soft spoken or

Aaron: whatever.

Aaron: And he's like, what music are you listening to these days?

Aaron: She's like Lizzo.

Aaron: And you're like, okay, well, that's it.

Aaron: Gets her all pumped up.

Aaron: And then I had to be the one to break it to her that Lizzo was

Aaron: forcing staff to eat fruit out of prostitutes, pussies.

Aaron: And I didn't do it.

Aaron: I did it with a heavy heart.

Aaron: I'll be honest with you.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. Mhm. I forget if people like Lizzo anymore.

Adam Kovic: I saw some, I don't know.

Adam Kovic: There's no such thing as a bad controversy anymore.

Adam Kovic: I assume as long as you're in the headlines, your people know

Adam Kovic: who you are, right?

Adam Kovic: That's the rule.

Aaron: Really,

Adam Kovic: I don't know.

Aaron: that kind of action is like, you know, twenty years ago, it would

Aaron: have been seen as rock, you know, been like, fuck yeah, like

Aaron: the the initiations.

Aaron: You got to eat a banana out of, you know, whoever's vadge.

Aaron: But not anymore.

Adam Kovic: It's funnier the more you say it.

Aaron: Yeah. Times change.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. Do they

Aaron: Uh,

Adam Kovic: know?

Aaron: my keyboard broke.

Aaron: Shit.

Adam Kovic: That's good.

Adam Kovic: What were you.

Adam Kovic: That's actually good.

Adam Kovic: That means you can actually pay attention this time.

Aaron: No, but I can't I can't end the call.

Adam Kovic: But you can't use a mouse.

Aaron: No, because it's, uh.

Aaron: So the screen went to

Aaron: screensaver or, you know, login

Aaron: thing.

Aaron: Right,

Adam Kovic: Mhm.

Aaron: right. Yeah, I don't know.

Aaron: Something must have gnawed through this cord because all

Aaron: the wires are exposed.

Aaron: I'm looking at

Adam Kovic: Mhm.

Aaron: I'm trying to get it to where it's not shorted out.

Aaron: So to actually turn.

Aaron: Fuck.

Aaron: Ah.

Adam Kovic: Is this like when you couldn't figure out how to use Adobe

Adam Kovic: Premiere because you didn't know you had to, like, sign out and

Adam Kovic: sign back in?

Aaron: No, that was that was something else.

Aaron: But, uh, I appreciate the login regardless.

Aaron: Damn it.

Aaron: Yeah, you should see that.

Aaron: I'll take a picture of this thing.

Aaron: Maybe

Adam Kovic: I'm.

Aaron: I maybe I bit it or accidentally cut through it.

Adam Kovic: We are.

Adam Kovic: We're approaching the new end

Adam Kovic: times where the rats started

Adam Kovic: eating all of our car wires

Adam Kovic: again.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: Gotta, gotta start investing in

Adam Kovic: some peppermint mothballs or

Adam Kovic: whatever.

Aaron: Which is interesting.

Aaron: I have a seventy year old car in my garage and that no mice have

Aaron: gotten to the wiring yet, and they should have, but

Adam Kovic: Yet?

Aaron: oh, keyboard.

Aaron: Yeah, now it's all fucked up.

Aaron: Well, I'll buy another one today.

Adam Kovic: What I I'm confused.

Adam Kovic: Your keyboard died.

Aaron: Let me show you.

Aaron: Here.

Adam Kovic: Down. Oh boy.

Aaron: Talk amongst yourself.

Adam Kovic: I am I have been this entire

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: time.

Aaron: Uh, I'm sending you a picture.

Aaron: Fuck, I have to.

Aaron: There we go.

Aaron: Perfect.

Aaron: I'm gonna take this.

Aaron: Send it to you.

Aaron: You can see what I'm dealing with here.

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: There you go.

Adam Kovic: Oh.

Aaron: Yeah,

Adam Kovic: Oh, my.

Aaron: yeah.

Aaron: I don't know what happened.

Adam Kovic: I mean, that's

Aaron: It

Adam Kovic: just

Aaron: literally

Adam Kovic: a bad.

Aaron: looks something like something gnawed through it.

Adam Kovic: So with all your smarts, with all

Aaron: Yeah,

Adam Kovic: your wiring and

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: the building a car you're unwilling to repair a teeny

Adam Kovic: little keyboard cable?

Aaron: Yeah, I guess I could, because

Adam Kovic: You absolutely

Aaron: this just looks

Adam Kovic: could.

Aaron: like, uh.

Aaron: I

Adam Kovic: It's just.

Aaron: can see exactly what's wrong.

Aaron: The

Adam Kovic: It's just

Aaron: issue

Adam Kovic: copper.

Aaron: that.

Aaron: Well, this is all.

Aaron: It's not copper.

Adam Kovic: Or

Aaron: This

Adam Kovic: solenoid

Aaron: this

Adam Kovic: or

Aaron: is

Adam Kovic: whatever.

Aaron: this is metal.

Aaron: This is steel.

Aaron: Little wires.

Aaron: It's just it's such a small gauge of wire.

Aaron: And I, I don't want to say my

Aaron: vision is getting poor, but

Aaron: it's, uh, it's not great

Aaron: anymore.

Aaron: And also my, I can't feel my fingers.

Aaron: So whenever I work on anything

Aaron: like this, I just get so

Aaron: frustrated.

Aaron: Yeah, I'm gonna have to cut this in half.

Aaron: I don't have to splice all these little wires together.

Aaron: There's a, there's a white one,

Aaron: a red one, a green one, and it

Aaron: looks like a, a negative shield,

Aaron: a yeah.

Aaron: All right.

Aaron: Fine, fine.

Adam Kovic: I would I would like to see you at least give it a A just the

Adam Kovic: lightest of tries.

Aaron: I'm going to.

Aaron: I'm

Adam Kovic: Thank

Aaron: going

Adam Kovic: you.

Aaron: and I'll I'll film the whole

Aaron: thing and I'll make it a ten

Aaron: part series.

Adam Kovic: That's good.

Adam Kovic: I just it's funny that you were, like, so willing to throw a

Adam Kovic: keyboard away over a bent wire,

Aaron: Here's

Adam Kovic: but

Aaron: the thing.

Aaron: This is

Adam Kovic: I

Aaron: a ten dollars

Adam Kovic: get it.

Aaron: keyboard.

Aaron: Would I spend ten dollars to not

Aaron: have to deal with this

Aaron: horseshit?

Aaron: Yes.

Adam Kovic: So I can relate to this story.

Adam Kovic: I have a just a little tiny micro PC in my garage.

Adam Kovic: And basically all it does is run

Adam Kovic: Linux and the 3D printing

Adam Kovic: software.

Adam Kovic: That's

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: all it really does.

Adam Kovic: And I just whatever use the connect, I have a cheap little

Adam Kovic: Teemu keyboard that I bought a long time ago, and it's just a

Adam Kovic: little USB type C, whatever.

Adam Kovic: It's not working.

Adam Kovic: And I just threw it in the trash.

Adam Kovic: Um, I haven't taken that trash out yet, but I was just angry at

Adam Kovic: it and said, fuck you because I got three other keyboards just

Adam Kovic: hanging on my wall.

Adam Kovic: So I get it.

Adam Kovic: I'm laughing at your situation

Adam Kovic: because I'm also also that like

Adam Kovic: wasteful mindset of just, well,

Adam Kovic: if it doesn't work, throw it

Adam Kovic: away when it's like, well,

Adam Kovic: what's, what's the real issue

Adam Kovic: here?

Adam Kovic: But then also realizing I only

Adam Kovic: bought that keyboard for the

Adam Kovic: cable, had one of those cool

Adam Kovic: little, I don't know what you

Adam Kovic: even call it looks very

Adam Kovic: industrial.

Adam Kovic: I was like, well, I just want the cable or what comes with the

Adam Kovic: keyboard and a mouse.

Adam Kovic: Like I don't want either of those.

Adam Kovic: Uh, but they sent them so.

Aaron: It's kind of a bell curve thing.

Aaron: You know, there's the meme like, uh, it's a bell curve.

Aaron: It's like a, I don't know, it's the, it's the smushed face guy,

Aaron: like dumb guy.

Aaron: And then the Legion guy.

Aaron: And then it goes back to the guy.

Aaron: The, the left end of that bell

Aaron: curve is this is too

Aaron: complicated.

Aaron: Look at all these wire.

Aaron: I can't do this.

Aaron: Well, uh, the middle, you know, bulging thing is like, I will

Aaron: fix this keyboard.

Aaron: I can do it.

Aaron: And then the far right end of it's like, I know how to fix

Aaron: this and I'm not fixing this.

Adam Kovic: Buy a new keyboard.

Aaron: Buy a new keyboard.

Adam Kovic: Yeah, no, I get I get you.

Adam Kovic: Um, I don't know if we're going

Adam Kovic: to be able to reverse engineer

Adam Kovic: things anymore.

Adam Kovic: At least with Claude, I think

Adam Kovic: they're, they're getting rid of

Adam Kovic: that because, uh, too many

Adam Kovic: people are making old games that

Adam Kovic: were completely unplayable on

Adam Kovic: old hardware, uh, playable on

Adam Kovic: current tech.

Adam Kovic: And Nintendo doesn't like that.

Adam Kovic: So we can't do that anymore.

Aaron: Why

Adam Kovic: But I

Aaron: wouldn't

Adam Kovic: heard.

Aaron: you just use a an a, like a open source model that's just as

Aaron: competent with that stuff?

Adam Kovic: That's what I'm, I'm actually going to try started looking at

Adam Kovic: the Kimi and deep sea pricing because they're like, yeah,

Adam Kovic: sure, we'll, we'll hack this.

Adam Kovic: Whatever.

Adam Kovic: I know Claude's the best one, but it is that reminder that,

Adam Kovic: you know, sometimes you try to look for something on Google,

Adam Kovic: like you type YouTube downloader, of course it's not

Adam Kovic: going to show up.

Adam Kovic: So you got to use something shady like Yandex when their

Adam Kovic: servers aren't being bombed.

Adam Kovic: And.

Aaron: Like, Can you use Bing for porn?

Aaron: Because you know, it'll be better.

Adam Kovic: That's that's what they're, uh, they're search bar says, like,

Adam Kovic: we know why you're here.

Aaron: Yeah. There's only one reason why you're using Bing.

Aaron: Oh,

Adam Kovic: We show

Aaron: okay.

Adam Kovic: you what Google's too afraid to show you YouTube

Aaron: Mhm.

Adam Kovic: download links and, uh, these

Adam Kovic: weird banana videos Aaron wants

Adam Kovic: to watch.

Aaron: Yeah. Well, yeah.

Aaron: Um, I would just, I mean, open source model and I mean, how how

Aaron: quickly would you get sued by.

Aaron: I don't know, whoever by having

Aaron: a site that basically makes it

Aaron: easy to use these open source

Aaron: models to, to change your games

Aaron: or problems

Adam Kovic: Right.

Aaron: for your games.

Adam Kovic: I mean, you just use like open router, which connects

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: you to all of them, but then I don't know.

Adam Kovic: I mean, they can't no one can

Adam Kovic: send a cease and desist deep

Adam Kovic: sea, I don't think I guess I can

Adam Kovic: try

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: or

Aaron: Maybe.

Adam Kovic: or Kimmy, I don't know.

Adam Kovic: I'm not familiar enough with

Adam Kovic: either of those because I'm I'm

Adam Kovic: just I'm stuck in the clod

Adam Kovic: world.

Adam Kovic: It's been kind of a godsend for

Adam Kovic: just a lot of the dumb, stupid

Adam Kovic: things I try to do on a daily

Adam Kovic: basis.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: Um, hasn't completely taken over my thinking yet, but it will.

Aaron: It's about Claude.

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: Yeah. It's, uh, it's taken over

Aaron: some of the thinking of

Aaron: actually, some CEOs that I've

Aaron: seen.

Aaron: And it's kind of I mean, on the one hand, I'm like, yeah, man,

Aaron: we can do this.

Aaron: Sure.

Aaron: That sounds like a great plan.

Aaron: On the other hand, I'm like, I

Aaron: can see your brain

Aaron: deteriorating.

Aaron: I remember when you thought about things before saying these

Aaron: things and it's just, you know.

Adam Kovic: I, I'm like, I'm of two minds of it just because.

Adam Kovic: For, for someone to sit there

Adam Kovic: and call out, well, you're just

Adam Kovic: giving your thinking process to

Adam Kovic: an AI.

Adam Kovic: It's like totally true.

Adam Kovic: But before that, you were giving your thinking process to a

Adam Kovic: Twitter echo chamber or a Reddit echo chamber or something.

Adam Kovic: You were seeking out people with like minded views or things that

Adam Kovic: made you feel good emotionally.

Adam Kovic: And that was just echoing back what you wanted to hear.

Adam Kovic: It's obviously not for everybody, but that's probably a

Adam Kovic: good chunk of people who are just like, you know what?

Adam Kovic: I have thoughts on this, but I'd rather have John Oliver tell me

Adam Kovic: how to feel, or I'd rather have Fox News tell me how to feel

Aaron: Well.

Adam Kovic: because it's too much.

Adam Kovic: It's too much for me to do right now.

Adam Kovic: Tell me how to vote, please.

Aaron: I understand the like gut check thing, but when it becomes like,

Aaron: give me ideas to gut check.

Aaron: And then once you give me those

Aaron: ideas, let me gut check them

Aaron: using you, you know, like it's,

Aaron: it's a, there's a difference

Aaron: between like having the thought

Aaron: or the idea and then going to

Aaron: the, you know, peanut gallery or

Aaron: the hive mind or whatever the

Aaron: case is.

Aaron: But when it's also like for the

Aaron: thought or idea, you're using

Aaron: it.

Aaron: And I, I think that's where you start kind of your brain starts

Aaron: getting a little mushy, but.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. I mean, our brains are already mush.

Adam Kovic: How how often are we just glued

Adam Kovic: to the little doom rectangle in

Adam Kovic: our pocket?

Aaron: You'll be very impressed to know that while you were saying

Aaron: whatever you were saying, I have skinned this wire using nothing

Aaron: but an exacto blade, which was on my desk for some reason, I

Aaron: don't remember why.

Aaron: Uh, I have identified the issue.

Aaron: Now I need to, uh, d cover the, uh, whatever these.

Aaron: This is like a thirty gauge wire.

Aaron: This is like as thick as, like a syringe needle.

Aaron: I don't know how I'm going to do this.

Adam Kovic: I think if you just put enough of the, um, solder on there,

Adam Kovic: you're good to go.

Aaron: No.

Adam Kovic: You just dip it in it like it's

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: just going to look like liquid

Adam Kovic: Terminator when you're done with

Adam Kovic: it.

Aaron: How long did it take you to fix your motorcycle wiring?

Aaron: Shit.

Adam Kovic: Well, once I found the correct

Adam Kovic: YouTube video that told me what

Adam Kovic: to do

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: and did the thinking for me,

Aaron: Yeah. It's coming.

Adam Kovic: I

Aaron: It's all

Adam Kovic: was

Aaron: coming out now.

Adam Kovic: so up on the subject of AI all all up everywhere.

Adam Kovic: I didn't realize how prominent it was in Vegas like

Aaron: Huh?

Adam Kovic: so we went to Las Vegas over the weekend, went to Death Valley

Adam Kovic: for like a mini road trip.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: Um, just saw the sunset at the dunes.

Adam Kovic: Really nice, like just beautiful there.

Adam Kovic: But that's like another two and a half hours outside of Vegas.

Adam Kovic: But we stayed in Vegas, stayed at the Cerca, which is like a

Adam Kovic: renovated old or it's a new hotel, but it's like a new meets

Adam Kovic: old sort of thing.

Adam Kovic: So it's in old Vegas and like

Adam Kovic: walking down Fremont Street,

Adam Kovic: there's just it's just AI art

Adam Kovic: for everything.

Adam Kovic: Everything they use is AI art.

Adam Kovic: Um, I hate calling it art because it's not really art.

Adam Kovic: It's just, you know, I typed the words into a thing or they're,

Adam Kovic: you know, they probably hired some using air quotes here

Adam Kovic: artist to make this these like, you know, Halloween trivia night

Adam Kovic: thing or, you know, three shots for three dollars sort of deal.

Adam Kovic: Then we went to this restaurant called Pachi Pachi, which is

Adam Kovic: like this Japanese themed.

Adam Kovic: It's a white person's interpretation of Japan.

Aaron: Mhm.

Adam Kovic: And all the video on the walls was, I assume, early stable

Adam Kovic: diffusion style art.

Adam Kovic: What they were doing, um, but it was animated and it was like, it

Adam Kovic: was like early AI animation.

Adam Kovic: They were still using older stuff.

Aaron: Mhm.

Adam Kovic: So I could see and I could see it playing, but the end product

Adam Kovic: was actually kind of cool.

Adam Kovic: Like it had a cool effect because it was, it was just

Adam Kovic: moving like a music video.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: Um,

Aaron: It's like a weird dream.

Adam Kovic: yeah, not, not so that much.

Adam Kovic: So, but like, I could tell that they just used the same

Adam Kovic: generation multiple times, probably used some kind of a

Adam Kovic: control net so that it would retain some of the shape.

Adam Kovic: And then like certain things would change.

Adam Kovic: And some of the lettering on on

Adam Kovic: the jackets were weird and stuff

Adam Kovic: like that, but it moves so

Adam Kovic: quickly.

Adam Kovic: I was like, I guess this is kind

Adam Kovic: of forgivable because it's kind

Adam Kovic: of more of like an art

Adam Kovic: installation thing.

Adam Kovic: And it, it goes with the theme of there, you know, this, this

Adam Kovic: bar thing with, uh, they had a really good, it was called a,

Adam Kovic: uh, a Wagyu old fashioned, I think you would have liked it.

Adam Kovic: They put beef tallow in it.

Aaron: What?

Adam Kovic: I, it sounded weird, but yeah, it was, uh, it was a Japanese

Adam Kovic: whiskey with yuzu in it.

Adam Kovic: And then they put some like beef tallow in there to give it this

Adam Kovic: sort of like oily texture feel, but it was surprisingly good.

Aaron: Are.

Adam Kovic: So I think you would have liked it either way.

Adam Kovic: I was just sort of like blown

Adam Kovic: away about like with how much of

Adam Kovic: the Vegas is using all the AI

Adam Kovic: stuff everywhere.

Aaron: Well,

Adam Kovic: But.

Aaron: they got a. They got a cut

Aaron: expenditures however they can

Aaron: with the lack of business that's

Aaron: going

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: through.

Adam Kovic: So yes, I forget what it is like gambling is down like sixty

Adam Kovic: percent or something

Aaron: Mhm.

Adam Kovic: like that, something insane.

Adam Kovic: So that's why you got to pay for parking.

Adam Kovic: Now there are no more buffets

Adam Kovic: because that's a that was

Adam Kovic: supposed to be, I guess, a loss

Adam Kovic: leaders.

Aaron: Wait, no more buffets.

Adam Kovic: Very few are left.

Adam Kovic: They're mostly gone.

Aaron: How am I supposed to get my five dollar unlimited crab?

Adam Kovic: I mean, cheapest buffet you're going to get with unlimited crab

Adam Kovic: is probably going to be like eighty five dollars.

Adam Kovic: I'm sorry.

Adam Kovic: It's not for you anymore.

Adam Kovic: It's not for us.

Adam Kovic: We just got to go watch Thunder Down Under with our

Aaron: Wait, who's it for

Adam Kovic: wallets light.

Aaron: then?

Adam Kovic: Um, I think it's for sports people.

Adam Kovic: Honestly, that's at least what it feels like everyone was there

Adam Kovic: for to watch football on a giant screen by a pool while a DJ

Adam Kovic: played very loudly.

Aaron: And everyone.

Aaron: Yeah, everyone just pisses in the pool.

Aaron: That kind of deal.

Adam Kovic: There literally is a sign that

Adam Kovic: says no diarrhea in the pool,

Adam Kovic: which again means it had to have

Adam Kovic: happened before they put the

Adam Kovic: sign up.

Aaron: Well, to be fair, a lot of

Aaron: places like, you know, shitty

Aaron: pools, they they, uh, say if

Aaron: you've had diarrhea in the last

Aaron: week or two, you can't swim in

Aaron: this pool.

Aaron: And of course, I always ignore that because,

Adam Kovic: Right.

Aaron: you know.

Adam Kovic: How are they going to check

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: do

Aaron: Well.

Adam Kovic: a just a flashlight and a quick cavity search.

Aaron: It's like how they did it in China for a while.

Aaron: They just they point a

Aaron: thermometer up your ass or a

Aaron: laser beam.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: Also the hotel, the circa is a no kid hotel.

Aaron: Nice.

Adam Kovic: So in theory you're like, okay,

Adam Kovic: this will be a bit cleaner, but

Adam Kovic: you have adults that have been

Adam Kovic: drinking so much, they

Adam Kovic: essentially have the bowels of

Adam Kovic: an infant.

Aaron: Mhm.

Adam Kovic: So. And there it's at eight a m

Adam Kovic: people are in the pool watching

Adam Kovic: the Packers win or lose or

Adam Kovic: whatever, and they're already

Adam Kovic: like two margaritas in and

Adam Kovic: holding a voodoo beer IPA or

Adam Kovic: whatever.

Adam Kovic: It's like those someone's peeing in that pool because

Aaron: Yeah, yeah.

Adam Kovic: it's fourth down, you know, whatever two 20s left on the

Adam Kovic: clock, they're not leaving.

Adam Kovic: They're going to piss themselves.

Adam Kovic: They're going to shit themselves and just play it off cool

Adam Kovic: because they're like, well, adults don't defecate in pools

Adam Kovic: like, but you did.

Adam Kovic: You did it for the football and now we're all dealing with it.

Adam Kovic: I didn't

Aaron: They should

Adam Kovic: go in

Aaron: just

Adam Kovic: the pool.

Aaron: flush the pool when the game is over.

Aaron: They just, they push a little

Aaron: handle and it just swirls like a

Aaron: toilet.

Aaron: That's

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: how you know it's time to leave.

Adam Kovic: Not a bad idea.

Aaron: And then the water just rushes out onto the street.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. Well, it's, uh, it's

Adam Kovic: definitely the city of the

Adam Kovic: future, not.

Aaron: I've been to Vegas in so long that I don't.

Aaron: I wouldn't even know what to do with it, I don't gamble.

Adam Kovic: Was it the last time we went together?

Aaron: Yeah, that was the last time I was there.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. Stayed at the Re.

Adam Kovic: That was like not prime pandemic, but it was like coming

Adam Kovic: out of it.

Aaron: Yeah, yeah.

Adam Kovic: So it was still weird.

Adam Kovic: Like most of the casino was closed.

Adam Kovic: No buffets.

Adam Kovic: It did feel kind of like a ghost town.

Adam Kovic: It's kind of cool.

Aaron: Yeah. It was, you know, it was

Aaron: fun to be there doing what we

Aaron: were doing.

Aaron: But I was just like, I don't, I don't gamble and I don't, you

Aaron: know, I it's weird.

Aaron: It's a weird world there.

Aaron: Like, I don't like being in a place where I don't know when

Aaron: the sun is coming up.

Aaron: Like there's a lot of things that it is built upon that are

Aaron: an antithesis to my existence.

Aaron: Um, that's a pretty high horse sound and stuff.

Aaron: But like, I just like I, I don't

Aaron: know, I feel like I'm regressing

Aaron: when I'm there because I'm like,

Aaron: I could easily become my

Aaron: drunker, more depraved self

Aaron: here.

Adam Kovic: Yeah, I the way I see you is you're someone who does

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: not like the gun range that anyone can get into.

Adam Kovic: You want to go to the Russian

Adam Kovic: roulette thing in the basement

Adam Kovic: that you kind of have to be

Adam Kovic: invited into.

Adam Kovic: That's your thing.

Adam Kovic: And Vegas

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: is pretty much open to the masses.

Adam Kovic: And you want the guy shouting

Adam Kovic: Diddy Mao slapping, you know,

Adam Kovic: Christopher Walken across the

Adam Kovic: face.

Aaron: Yeah. I guess I am more highfalutin.

Aaron: That being

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: said, though, I, uh, just yesterday I was like, I need to

Aaron: go to a gun range.

Aaron: I haven't been in so long and I've got my gun, I got guns, but

Aaron: I got my main piece that I can't remember the last time I fired

Aaron: it, let alone in anger.

Aaron: Uh, so I need to go because you need to go every once and again

Aaron: to just understand how powerful a gun is.

Aaron: And, uh, so you don't, you know, just bring it out for no reason.

Aaron: And yeah, I think I'm going to do that this week.

Aaron: I'm going to get a bunch of ammo and shoot it.

Aaron: And then the day, the next day

Aaron: is when Black Monday or Black

Aaron: October will really get into

Aaron: swing.

Aaron: But god damn it, I burn through

Aaron: all the fucking nine millimeter

Aaron: ammo.

Adam Kovic: I shot all those beer cans.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: So much wasted paps.

Adam Kovic: Uh. There was, strangely, the nicest behaving guy.

Adam Kovic: Who is pushing for open carry laws or something in, um, a

Adam Kovic: little town called Pahrump.

Adam Kovic: It's like outside of Vegas.

Adam Kovic: We stopped there.

Adam Kovic: Um, you'll you'll enjoy this.

Adam Kovic: We took the the pole star.

Adam Kovic: So it's,

Aaron: Wait, you

Adam Kovic: uh,

Aaron: bought that car?

Adam Kovic: I'm leasing it.

Adam Kovic: I chose not to buy it just because you can't really get it

Adam Kovic: the way you want.

Adam Kovic: Um, I couldn't, you can couldn't change anything.

Adam Kovic: It's basically like, here's the car, take it or leave it.

Adam Kovic: It's like, I'll take it.

Adam Kovic: I'll just lease it for now.

Adam Kovic: They're doing like, it's like an

Adam Kovic: insane amount of money off of it

Adam Kovic: right now.

Adam Kovic: So it's stupid affordable for what it is.

Adam Kovic: Um, but you still, it's not great for road trips.

Adam Kovic: You got to stop and charge.

Adam Kovic: And so

Aaron: How long

Adam Kovic: it's

Aaron: does it

Adam Kovic: like,

Aaron: take to charge?

Adam Kovic: uh, half an hour to get the thing all the way up.

Adam Kovic: But it's got to be a, like, it's not like gas where one type of

Adam Kovic: gas fills any car.

Adam Kovic: Essentially there are different wattages.

Adam Kovic: So yeah, so

Aaron: You

Adam Kovic: we

Aaron: mean

Adam Kovic: went

Aaron: voltages,

Adam Kovic: to this,

Aaron: or

Adam Kovic: I'm

Aaron: is it?

Aaron: What?

Adam Kovic: sorry, voltages or whatever kilowatts per hour or

Aaron: Yeah,

Adam Kovic: I, I don't know, science.

Aaron: yeah,

Adam Kovic: Look, you're

Aaron: you should

Adam Kovic: the.

Aaron: probably figure that out with that car that you have now.

Adam Kovic: No, it's so far it's working out just fine.

Adam Kovic: The the plan is just to charge it at home.

Aaron: Polestar

Adam Kovic: It's not really meant for road trips.

Aaron: lease.

Adam Kovic: It's like.

Adam Kovic: So you you charge it at home,

Adam Kovic: you let it charge overnight or

Adam Kovic: whatever.

Adam Kovic: It's more than enough to drive to work, come back.

Adam Kovic: Like that's what it's for.

Adam Kovic: Um, go get groceries, whatever.

Adam Kovic: It's like real basic stuff.

Adam Kovic: Road trip wise though, you gotta

Adam Kovic: stop, charge, go get some food,

Adam Kovic: whatever.

Adam Kovic: It's like I do.

Adam Kovic: I personally like that, but I get that's not for everybody.

Adam Kovic: But anyway, so we stopped, found a charger, left there, went to

Adam Kovic: go get some food.

Adam Kovic: There was a guy on the corner holding a sign like he was in.

Adam Kovic: He was dressed like, uh, like a

Adam Kovic: Teemu ice agent, sort of like,

Adam Kovic: uh, like a Call of Duty

Adam Kovic: cosplayer.

Adam Kovic: He had like the skull mask totally completely covered, had

Adam Kovic: a sidearm out on his, you know, he had a little holster there.

Adam Kovic: And I looked over and saw a sign that said open carry or die.

Adam Kovic: Um,

Aaron: Okay.

Adam Kovic: but as we're at the light trying

Adam Kovic: to cross, he was like aware of

Adam Kovic: us.

Adam Kovic: He's like, oh, I'm so sorry.

Adam Kovic: And like, got out of the way.

Adam Kovic: It's like he felt he just felt

Adam Kovic: like a very, like a very, uh, a

Adam Kovic: kind, like a Frankensteins

Adam Kovic: monster sort of around that

Adam Kovic: little girl.

Adam Kovic: Just.

Adam Kovic: I'm.

Adam Kovic: Oh, I don't want to bother you.

Adam Kovic: I'm so sorry.

Adam Kovic: And then, uh, when we came back, he left.

Adam Kovic: Um, but it's just interesting that that's what he wanted to do

Adam Kovic: with his day was dress up like a multiplayer character from Call

Adam Kovic: of Duty and hold a sign telling people you need an open carry or

Adam Kovic: you will die.

Aaron: You sure he wasn't like one of

Aaron: those people that the those tax

Aaron: filers hire around April like to

Aaron: flip signs.

Aaron: They're just like, it's just like an open carry.

Aaron: I don't know, initiative.

Aaron: And they hired him for ten bucks

Aaron: an hour to dress as how he

Aaron: dressed and

Adam Kovic: All

Aaron: to.

Adam Kovic: I know is when we came back, there were bullet holes in the

Adam Kovic: car, so I

Aaron: Mhm.

Adam Kovic: don't know what that meant.

Adam Kovic: Um, but I will be voting this November.

Aaron: I voted.

Adam Kovic: Well, I can't vote.

Adam Kovic: And Nevada's law, so I didn't

Adam Kovic: really have much of an effect on

Adam Kovic: me.

Adam Kovic: I just wanted pizza.

Aaron: This pole star pole star for us.

Adam Kovic: Yes.

Aaron: Lease

Adam Kovic: Dual motor.

Aaron: from

Adam Kovic: Long range.

Aaron: four point nine nine a month for

Aaron: twenty seven months with

Aaron: nineteen thousand Polestar Clean

Aaron: Vehicle initiative.

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: Now, do they give me nineteen thousand dollars to take

Adam Kovic: Yes.

Aaron: this piece of shit?

Adam Kovic: Yeah. They gave me a check for nineteen thousand dollars.

Adam Kovic: It's

Aaron: Okay,

Adam Kovic: a great business move.

Aaron: okay.

Aaron: Actual Msrp cash do it sign includes one thousand five

Aaron: hundred dollars down payment.

Aaron: Uh, zero dollars security deposit.

Aaron: Let's see.

Aaron: Okay, so basically, I guess this is a good thing, I don't

Adam Kovic: It's

Aaron: know.

Adam Kovic: pretty good.

Adam Kovic: Pretty good for a car that came out this year.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: It's already discounted essentially by half.

Adam Kovic: And so I'm not completely you

Adam Kovic: know, we haven't sold the Rav4

Adam Kovic: yet.

Adam Kovic: I don't know if we will just

Adam Kovic: because probably just good to

Adam Kovic: have.

Adam Kovic: But for like a day to day driver

Adam Kovic: around LA, uh, lease an electric

Adam Kovic: car just to try it, you know,

Adam Kovic: something new.

Adam Kovic: Um, but I will say this.

Adam Kovic: Not since driving.

Adam Kovic: What was it, a Ferrari?

Adam Kovic: Did I drive a car in the freeway

Adam Kovic: that I felt like I wasn't going

Adam Kovic: fast enough?

Adam Kovic: Does that make sense?

Aaron: Like you aren't.

Aaron: The car had more to give, and you

Adam Kovic: I

Aaron: weren't.

Adam Kovic: had way more to give than I was giving it.

Aaron: Usually in the car world, well, real car world.

Aaron: We call that this car wants to run.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. So years ago, back at machinima, we did some I don't

Adam Kovic: know if you even.

Adam Kovic: I doubt you would have seen this.

Adam Kovic: We pitched some really stupid

Adam Kovic: idea for a stupid movie that had

Adam Kovic: come out.

Adam Kovic: It was a adaptation of a video game called need for speed.

Adam Kovic: And you know that,

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: um, but this movie starred one of the guys from Breaking Bad.

Adam Kovic: I can't remember his name.

Adam Kovic: The guy who played Jesse.

Adam Kovic: You know what I'm talking about.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: That actor.

Adam Kovic: And so they're like, what can we do to promote this movie?

Adam Kovic: And we said, well, what if we rent Ferraris or like just

Adam Kovic: Supercars, anything, some sort of fast car in San Francisco,

Adam Kovic: and then we race each other down from San Francisco to LA and we

Adam Kovic: like release videos around it and do this, like

Aaron: We

Adam Kovic: stuff

Aaron: talked

Adam Kovic: that.

Aaron: about this, but keep going.

Adam Kovic: Okay. Yeah, I'm not sure if you'd seen it because it's an

Adam Kovic: embarrassing moment of my life.

Adam Kovic: Um, but it was the first time I'd ever driven a car getting on

Adam Kovic: the freeway where, like, I was going eighty miles per hour

Adam Kovic: before I even tried.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: And it scared me because until then, I had only driven corollas

Adam Kovic: and Hondas and just tiny little sedans or whatever, and it was

Adam Kovic: just like exciting and cool and like, oh, wow, cars can go fast.

Adam Kovic: Um, and so the pole star, not even in like the performance

Adam Kovic: mode, if you're just using the single motor, like I was going

Adam Kovic: ninety, one hundred, like without really trying,

Aaron: Mhm.

Adam Kovic: which felt nice.

Adam Kovic: That was a good feeling.

Aaron: What's that car weigh?

Aaron: Fifteen thousand pounds or something?

Adam Kovic: Oh. Something crazy.

Adam Kovic: Yeah,

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: it can tow like three thousand two hundred, but

Aaron: That's

Adam Kovic: it could

Aaron: a

Adam Kovic: only go thirty

Aaron: crazy

Adam Kovic: five

Aaron: amount.

Adam Kovic: feet.

Adam Kovic: Yeah, that's not a crazy amount.

Aaron: I guess you could tow your.

Aaron: I don't know, I. The obvious

Aaron: joke is your wife's boyfriend's

Aaron: camper van.

Adam Kovic: Yeah, but I've seen so many

Adam Kovic: videos where they make that

Adam Kovic: joke.

Aaron: I know that's what I'm saying,

Adam Kovic: It's tired.

Aaron: but three thousand two hundred pounds, like in my uses.

Adam Kovic: And he has a sea dew.

Aaron: Yeah, he has a lime scooter.

Aaron: Uh, it's not enough to tow another car is the thing.

Aaron: You can tow, like, a little.

Aaron: You can essentially tow one of those egg camper things.

Aaron: Well, I guess like

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: that thing that you have.

Aaron: Don't you have one of those?

Adam Kovic: No, I do not.

Adam Kovic: I rented one once.

Aaron: Oh. That's right.

Adam Kovic: That's the thing.

Adam Kovic: I installed the tow hitch on the

Adam Kovic: Rav4, and I've used it a total

Adam Kovic: of three

Aaron: Do you

Adam Kovic: times.

Aaron: own anything?

Aaron: There's a lot of renting and leasing and.

Adam Kovic: What?

Adam Kovic: No.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: Well, why would I buy a camper?

Adam Kovic: It's just going to sit there.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: It's the same thing with.

Adam Kovic: For a long time I was doing paddle boarding every weekend,

Adam Kovic: and it was like I wanted to buy a paddle board.

Adam Kovic: They're stupid expensive for what they are.

Adam Kovic: And I just did the math and like, does it make more sense to

Adam Kovic: just rent it when I use it?

Adam Kovic: AM I using it enough to justify it that I'm going to take it to

Adam Kovic: the beach every day?

Adam Kovic: And the answer turned out to be no, it is not worth buying.

Adam Kovic: So yeah, I rented a teardrop

Adam Kovic: trailer just to try it for

Adam Kovic: camping once.

Adam Kovic: Didn't love it.

Adam Kovic: Wasn't fun.

Adam Kovic: Glad I didn't buy one.

Adam Kovic: Um, I don't know.

Adam Kovic: I saw a guy on the freeway

Adam Kovic: yesterday hauling his pontoon

Adam Kovic: boat.

Aaron: That's

Adam Kovic: So.

Aaron: like you can't even haul a pontoon boat, can you?

Adam Kovic: Maybe they're pretty light,

Aaron: I

Adam Kovic: right?

Aaron: know you can hear me clicking.

Aaron: It's just because I was looking at available pole star cars.

Aaron: Uh, there

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: are none in Houston, Austin, or Kansas City.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. There was one left in California.

Adam Kovic: I didn't say Los Angeles, California.

Aaron: Grapevine.

Aaron: No.

Adam Kovic: No, I had to go a little south.

Adam Kovic: A

Aaron: No,

Adam Kovic: little

Aaron: I

Adam Kovic: far

Aaron: mean, I was

Adam Kovic: south.

Aaron: saying Texas.

Aaron: I'm looking.

Adam Kovic: Oh

Aaron: There's no there's no, uh, from

Adam Kovic: oh,

Aaron: what I

Adam Kovic: I

Aaron: can

Adam Kovic: did,

Aaron: tell.

Adam Kovic: I did look at grapevine.

Adam Kovic: I was so the original plan was I was going to fly to Denver, pick

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: one up from it was Polestar Denver.

Adam Kovic: And I was going to drive it back and do like a mini road trip.

Adam Kovic: Um, but their website was not up

Adam Kovic: to date and they didn't have the

Adam Kovic: car and there were already like

Adam Kovic: on hold.

Adam Kovic: So I was like, well, that sucks.

Adam Kovic: Um, what else can I do?

Adam Kovic: And then found one a little more local wasn't the color that I

Adam Kovic: wanted, but you can always change that later.

Aaron: So you've got a car now that has no support whatsoever that

Aaron: they're probably going to brick in the US.

Aaron: And if you need to get it fixed, you probably need to ship it.

Aaron: What?

Aaron: To Europe.

Adam Kovic: No,

Aaron: What?

Adam Kovic: it was made in Busan.

Aaron: Excuse me.

Adam Kovic: Korea?

Aaron: Oh, okay.

Adam Kovic: No, it's still.

Aaron: I thought

Adam Kovic: It's.

Aaron: you said Blue Sun. I thought, yeah,

Adam Kovic: No,

Aaron: that was a

Adam Kovic: it's

Aaron: company

Adam Kovic: still

Aaron: that makes breast enhancement drugs.

Adam Kovic: probably.

Adam Kovic: I mean, they might help us.

Adam Kovic: No, it's still it can still be serviced.

Adam Kovic: And also, if they're just

Adam Kovic: basically not they're not

Adam Kovic: selling the pulsar five in the

Adam Kovic: US.

Adam Kovic: It's the same thing like BYD.

Adam Kovic: They're selling them in Mexico.

Adam Kovic: They're selling them in Canada.

Adam Kovic: They're not selling them in the US.

Adam Kovic: I imagine it's just a matter of time before that changes.

Adam Kovic: But who knows.

Adam Kovic: Uh, with gas prices being as low as they are, I can only foresee,

Adam Kovic: you know, diesel coming back.

Aaron: Uh, a buddy of mine is selling a nineteen sixty seven Volkswagen

Aaron: Beetle, which I think would have been the better choice for you.

Adam Kovic: Mhm.

Aaron: Um, fuel wise, uh, I guess cool factor wise.

Adam Kovic: Which planets does it use to

Adam Kovic: make ambient lighting in the

Adam Kovic: car?

Aaron: What?

Aaron: Oh,

Adam Kovic: So

Aaron: yeah.

Adam Kovic: you can yeah, you can choose your planet.

Adam Kovic: That's kind of important to me when picking out a vehicle.

Aaron: The issue with the beetle is it weighs about probably a third of

Aaron: what your car weighs now, or maybe a fourth.

Adam Kovic: Mhm.

Aaron: Uh, so if you get hit by anything bigger than, uh,

Aaron: traffic cone, you're

Adam Kovic: Mhm.

Aaron: basically, uh, you're pretty hosed.

Aaron: But it's

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: nice.

Aaron: It's, uh, he's listed, it's

Aaron: seventeen thousand dollars,

Aaron: which is, that's they give you

Aaron: nineteen grand for getting a

Aaron: pole star.

Aaron: So you had two grand left over.

Adam Kovic: There was some show.

Adam Kovic: I was in Pahrump on one of the

Adam Kovic: four TVs being played at the the

Adam Kovic: pizzeria.

Adam Kovic: And I did see some guys.

Adam Kovic: There's a reality show where they were trying to buy a red

Adam Kovic: Karmann Ghia off of some old man on a ranch.

Adam Kovic: I thought Aaron could do this show.

Aaron: This porn stars you were watching.

Adam Kovic: It might have been I couldn't tell.

Adam Kovic: I could.

Adam Kovic: It was Kitchen Nightmares on one side.

Adam Kovic: It was wipe out Canada on the

Adam Kovic: other, and then some random

Adam Kovic: sports channel.

Adam Kovic: And then directly in front of me was some car.

Adam Kovic: It may have been Pawn Stars, but

Aaron: That seems like a porn stars

Adam Kovic: yeah.

Aaron: line up with the other shows you're describing.

Adam Kovic: But I even though there are no subtitles on and there's no

Adam Kovic: sound, I could definitely tell they were trying to lowball that

Adam Kovic: old man versus Karmann Ghia.

Adam Kovic: And

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: they were like, oh, this is a good car.

Adam Kovic: Oh wow.

Adam Kovic: Blah blah.

Adam Kovic: I was like, Aaron would have

Adam Kovic: probably handled this better, I

Adam Kovic: assume.

Aaron: Well, uh, maybe.

Aaron: Or maybe not, but the if it's.

Aaron: I think I may have seen this Porn Stars episode, and I bet I

Aaron: can look it up.

Aaron: Um, and if it is, they're looking at this comic.

Aaron: Yes.

Aaron: It's the red Karmann Ghia, right.

Aaron: They're looking at this Karmann

Aaron: Ghia, and it's like I could tell

Aaron: it was a it was a like a mash of

Aaron: maybe two or three different

Aaron: cars.

Aaron: And then also they labeled it wrong, like year wise on the

Aaron: thing, but it still looked good.

Aaron: And then, yeah, they gave the guy a price of like a third of

Aaron: what it should be.

Aaron: And

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: that whole show, like once you figure out that Rick Harrison

Aaron: and all them are just, they're no good, they're just no good.

Aaron: It kind of all makes sense that they own a pawn shop and they're

Aaron: doing all these things.

Aaron: But like, you want to you, you want those, you know, they seem

Aaron: like, well read people.

Aaron: Well, one, the Rick Harrison bald one did.

Aaron: The rest of them were kind of like meth heads, but,

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: um.

Adam Kovic: No one.

Adam Kovic: No one goes through life

Adam Kovic: striving to be a porn store

Adam Kovic: owner, right?

Aaron: No, no. Um.

Adam Kovic: You end up there and then maybe make the best of it.

Aaron: Yeah, I, I don't even want to

Aaron: spend time talking about this

Aaron: guy because I know exactly that

Aaron: I'm looking at a. Yeah, it was

Aaron: definitely porn stars you were

Aaron: watching.

Aaron: Makes me sad.

Adam Kovic: I wasn't, I had no choice, it was

Aaron: No, I'm not saying

Adam Kovic: being

Aaron: you're sad, I just.

Adam Kovic: the way you made it sound like I was.

Aaron: Know.

Adam Kovic: I chose to watch this show and I. But like I said, I could tell

Adam Kovic: they were definitely taking advantage of an old man.

Aaron: Yeah. I mean, that's kind of the

Aaron: M.O. of the show taking

Aaron: advantage of of desperate

Aaron: people.

Adam Kovic: I've honestly never seen a

Adam Kovic: single episode of Pawn Stars or

Adam Kovic: Kitchen Nightmares.

Aaron: Um, you should watch Kitchen Nightmares, but you should watch

Aaron: the British version.

Aaron: It's about twenty years old now, but, um.

Adam Kovic: Yeah, I watched a little bit of Bar Rescue, which is basically

Adam Kovic: the same thing, but that was just because I'd heard about it.

Adam Kovic: And there was a it was a bar in D.C. that was pirate themed and

Adam Kovic: there were like, we need help.

Adam Kovic: Like, well, you gotta get rid of the pirate theme and said, well,

Adam Kovic: we want to do anything but that.

Adam Kovic: And one of the guys there had an

Adam Kovic: eye patch because he had lost

Adam Kovic: his eye in an unrelated, like, I

Adam Kovic: think it was like a sword fight

Adam Kovic: accident, but unrelated to the

Adam Kovic: job.

Adam Kovic: And then in the end, so they try it.

Adam Kovic: They're like, okay, fine, we'll try this no pirate themed thing.

Adam Kovic: Sure.

Adam Kovic: Whatever.

Adam Kovic: Jon Taffer.

Adam Kovic: And they do it and it's like a raging success.

Adam Kovic: And then within a month, they're like, we, we got to go back to

Adam Kovic: the pirate thing.

Adam Kovic: This isn't working.

Adam Kovic: And then they go out of business.

Aaron: That's because all they go like

Aaron: we've been hearing complaints

Aaron: about the lack of pirate theme,

Aaron: and it's

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: the three people that would come

Aaron: in and like, order, you know,

Aaron: like a drink or a couple drinks

Aaron: and just talk to the bartender

Aaron: forever.

Aaron: And then like just kind of tip a little amount.

Aaron: Those are the, you know, and also

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: some owners just don't want to be wrong.

Adam Kovic: Um, speaking of things you should watch, though.

Adam Kovic: I thought you might like this.

Adam Kovic: You may hate it.

Adam Kovic: I'm not sure.

Adam Kovic: Uh, there.

Adam Kovic: Have you seen the channel rich rebuilds?

Aaron: Is this on YouTube?

Adam Kovic: Yeah. Uh, it's a gentleman, I believe, named Rich, but

Aaron: Oh,

Adam Kovic: yeah, I,

Aaron: rich

Adam Kovic: uh,

Aaron: at rich rebuilds,

Adam Kovic: yeah,

Aaron: I see.

Adam Kovic: yeah, yeah.

Adam Kovic: He mostly focuses, I think, on electric cars, but he does like,

Adam Kovic: he's got a kind of a cool shop.

Adam Kovic: And so like he, he bought, I

Adam Kovic: don't know, you see his latest

Adam Kovic: video

Aaron: This

Adam Kovic: he

Aaron: guy

Adam Kovic: bought.

Aaron: does numbers.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. Um, I for whatever reason,

Adam Kovic: I got recommended his video

Adam Kovic: because he tried buying a, uh,

Adam Kovic: Amazon

Aaron: I see

Adam Kovic: delivery

Aaron: this.

Adam Kovic: van, the Rivian and I'm hoping

Adam Kovic: he can get it to work, but I

Adam Kovic: think it's a software issue that

Adam Kovic: he can't do anything because

Adam Kovic: it's locked.

Adam Kovic: But hopefully, like with the reverse anything

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: stuff, he can reverse engineer anything.

Adam Kovic: He can do this.

Adam Kovic: But, um, it was really interesting.

Adam Kovic: He did.

Adam Kovic: Their videos are great.

Adam Kovic: but the latest one, the pulsar one I. I highly recommend it.

Adam Kovic: It was a good video.

Adam Kovic: It's very funny.

Adam Kovic: It's well edited and

Aaron: I see he's

Adam Kovic: it's

Aaron: got

Adam Kovic: entertaining.

Aaron: it. I bought a band Chinese car from a rental company.

Aaron: Is this it?

Adam Kovic: Sorry you broke out there for a sec.

Aaron: It says I bought a band.

Aaron: Chinese car from rental company.

Aaron: This looks like Polestar.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. Well, they keep joking that it's too Chinese.

Aaron: Oh, he's wearing a little Chinese smock, too.

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: This guy.

Aaron: I'll look into this guy.

Adam Kovic: I think you'll like it.

Adam Kovic: It's.

Adam Kovic: I feel like you would get along

Adam Kovic: with this guy if he didn't do

Adam Kovic: electric cars.

Aaron: Yeah, but the thing is, in my next iteration of the Grand

Aaron: Tour, Top Gear, you need that kind of tension.

Adam Kovic: Mhm.

Aaron: Now, granted, he has, uh, did I

Aaron: see one point nine million

Aaron: subscribers?

Adam Kovic: Yeah. He would never want to talk to you.

Aaron: The null and void channel has a

Aaron: little less than a tenth of

Aaron: that.

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: But anyway, tension is good.

Adam Kovic: Keep losing them when I upload videos.

Aaron: And he.

Aaron: Yeah, yeah, it's going down.

Adam Kovic: Who cares?

Aaron: Uh, but this guy seems like a, a fun dude.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. No, I, I thought of you

Adam Kovic: when I saw that video and I was

Adam Kovic: like, oh, should I send this to

Adam Kovic: Aaron?

Adam Kovic: He hates electric cars, but I

Adam Kovic: think you might find it

Adam Kovic: interesting.

Adam Kovic: And it's pretty wild with how they, they reach the conclusion

Adam Kovic: of, uh, of the vehicle.

Adam Kovic: And it's, I think it's pretty neat.

Aaron: But he's got hold on.

Aaron: I see he's got a Bentley Arnage here.

Adam Kovic: You

Aaron: What

Adam Kovic: gotta

Aaron: is

Adam Kovic: start

Aaron: it?

Aaron: This

Adam Kovic: somewhere.

Aaron: is four months ago.

Aaron: I bought a broken three hundred

Aaron: thousand dollars Bentley for

Aaron: five grand and fixed it with

Aaron: baby oil.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. You gotta

Aaron: All

Adam Kovic: start

Aaron: right,

Adam Kovic: small.

Aaron: puff, I got you.

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: That's not racist, is it?

Adam Kovic: I didn't know what you're

Adam Kovic: referencing to, so it's not

Adam Kovic: racist to me, but it might be to

Adam Kovic: someone else.

Aaron: A baby oil, fixing things with baby oil.

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: Is that.

Aaron: Say all right, someone in the comments.

Aaron: I believe this is called the ditty Fix.

Aaron: Very

Adam Kovic: Ah.

Aaron: nice.

Adam Kovic: Okay.

Aaron: Still though, I'm going to watch this.

Adam Kovic: So you were being racist and I just didn't know.

Aaron: No, the person who made this comment says that they've been a

Aaron: black man for over twenty years.

Adam Kovic: If I remain ignorant to the world around me.

Adam Kovic: Does that make me right?

Aaron: This guy.

Aaron: Wait, so Rich rebuilds is not just doing electric cars, but

Aaron: I'll watch his electric things.

Aaron: But he's got some other.

Aaron: I'll have to look into this.

Aaron: This.

Aaron: God damn it!

Aaron: Another.

Aaron: This is going to waste my day because

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: I'm going to watch all of these videos.

Adam Kovic: Good.

Aaron: I can't, I can't do this because

Aaron: literally yesterday I was

Aaron: watching Kitchen Nightmares on

Aaron: YouTube because they're all on

Aaron: there.

Adam Kovic: I feel like this would be more interesting to you though.

Adam Kovic: Like this would be better for your soul.

Aaron: Yeah, it makes

Adam Kovic: It's

Aaron: me want

Adam Kovic: it's

Aaron: to keep.

Adam Kovic: vaguely related to your your likes.

Aaron: It makes me want to do that.

Aaron: A car show with you on the channel?

Adam Kovic: I would like to do that.

Aaron: MM.

Adam Kovic: Anything really?

Aaron: Yeah. MM.

Adam Kovic: Something

Aaron: Maybe

Adam Kovic: we

Aaron: we

Adam Kovic: had.

Aaron: can do partnership with Rich rebuilds.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. I mean, I doubt it, but yeah.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: Actually, shit, I had a really dumb idea, and I think this

Adam Kovic: would be fun.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: And I'm sure someone's already done it, but fuck it.

Adam Kovic: Whatever I wanted to try, this would be fun to do with Duff.

Adam Kovic: Try to do a data center on

Adam Kovic: wheels so you get an electric

Adam Kovic: car,

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: something with a huge battery.

Adam Kovic: Uh, and then you get additional like backup generator and stuff.

Adam Kovic: And you, you plug in or

Adam Kovic: something into it and you get a

Adam Kovic: Starlink and you set up a

Adam Kovic: reverse proxy, and you drive

Adam Kovic: around town with your own little

Adam Kovic: mobile server.

Aaron: Why not?

Adam Kovic: Uh.

Aaron: Just why not buy a school bus for two grand and do that?

Adam Kovic: Sure. Yeah, something like just

Aaron: And just

Adam Kovic: server

Aaron: paint

Adam Kovic: racks.

Aaron: it along the side with, like a brush and black paint.

Aaron: It says data center.

Adam Kovic: So my thought was, you take that to a town that has like shitty

Adam Kovic: internet or, um, you know, they, they don't have enough bandwidth

Adam Kovic: or they people don't whatever it is, like, it's, it's just like a

Adam Kovic: town of like four people and you do that, you bring the school

Adam Kovic: bus and yeah, it's almost like, uh, it's like an ice cream

Adam Kovic: truck, but it goes around and you're just, you're basically

Adam Kovic: offering like Netflix or, uh, you know, you, you download a

Adam Kovic: bunch of YouTube videos and you're like, you're serving it

Adam Kovic: on your server.

Adam Kovic: So you're just, you're like, connect to my Wi-Fi and you

Adam Kovic: connect to the IP address, you know, one nine two dot one six

Adam Kovic: eight dot one dot one.

Adam Kovic: colon five hundred and fifty five.

Adam Kovic: And you can watch these six YouTube videos.

Adam Kovic: As I drive around.

Adam Kovic: I do circles around your house.

Aaron: That's like the pussy version of mad Max too,

Adam Kovic: Yes.

Aaron: where like, you show up and

Aaron: you're like, I'm offering

Aaron: information and you just park

Aaron: there and it's just, it's

Aaron: episodes of Will and Grace and

Aaron: like, you know, just shit, you

Aaron: know?

Aaron: It's like, this is it.

Aaron: Get

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: used to what this is going to be.

Adam Kovic: Bookmobile or whatever.

Adam Kovic: It's like, well, this is all we got.

Adam Kovic: Like, this is all we can offer you this month,

Aaron: It's ready.

Adam Kovic: obviously.

Aaron: Player one is the book.

Aaron: And, uh.

Adam Kovic: Also the movie, but it's just

Adam Kovic: the trailer or no, it's the,

Adam Kovic: it's the Russian cam version

Adam Kovic: where someone keeps standing up

Adam Kovic: to leave because the movie is so

Adam Kovic: bad.

Aaron: I'm looking up school buses there.

Aaron: All right.

Aaron: I'm going to get on the auction site.

Aaron: That's a really good idea.

Adam Kovic: Yeah, I know, just wish someone would fund it.

Aaron: Well, no, no one's going to find it, but.

Adam Kovic: Well, if you and I move to one of these towns where they've got

Adam Kovic: three car garages for your, uh, your RV or whatever.

Adam Kovic: Definitely buy one of these Chinese lifts.

Adam Kovic: And we could do some work on a bus.

Aaron: Man. Well, these buses, you can get them for pretty.

Aaron: Yeah.

Aaron: You can get them for pretty cheap.

Adam Kovic: Can you do an EV conversion for a bus?

Aaron: Well, what are those?

Aaron: Battery packs cost five grand.

Adam Kovic: Something like that.

Adam Kovic: But I know you can get them used and they, they can take a

Adam Kovic: beating, which is great.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: And I saw this other channel

Adam Kovic: where a guy was trying to do

Adam Kovic: Cannonball Run with a Rivian,

Adam Kovic: and they put two Rivian battery

Adam Kovic: packs on top of each other in

Adam Kovic: the trunk.

Aaron: Jesus.

Aaron: Oh,

Adam Kovic: So

Aaron: yeah,

Adam Kovic: that

Aaron: I saw that,

Adam Kovic: yeah,

Aaron: too.

Adam Kovic: so it can get like six to eight

Adam Kovic: hundred miles of charge or

Adam Kovic: whatever.

Adam Kovic: But it's like, well, yeah, could you just so rip all the seats

Adam Kovic: out of the bus, and then just how many battery packs can you

Adam Kovic: put under a bus and on top just.

Aaron: You put him in the bus?

Aaron: What are you talking about?

Aaron: It is a a hauler thing.

Adam Kovic: That's true, I guess how you don't really want the floor to

Adam Kovic: be batteries though, right?

Adam Kovic: You want them outside of the vehicle.

Aaron: What does it matter if there's a

Aaron: quarter inch of steel between it

Aaron: or not?

Adam Kovic: That's a good point.

Adam Kovic: Yeah, I,

Aaron: It's going to

Adam Kovic: it

Aaron: kill

Adam Kovic: would just

Aaron: you

Adam Kovic: be

Aaron: anyway.

Adam Kovic: really it's yeah, I was gonna say it's gonna be funny when we

Adam Kovic: put them in there, but we don't, we just use sticky tape and hope

Adam Kovic: that they don't move too much.

Aaron: I think I told you this before, it's like when my dad was

Aaron: working at this dealership and they started getting.

Aaron: Is that dodge?

Aaron: And they started getting electric cars in.

Aaron: So they needed to do training.

Aaron: And part of the training was like, this is the, uh, lamb

Aaron: crook that you use to when someone is getting shocked by

Aaron: the battery, you

Adam Kovic: Oh,

Aaron: use

Adam Kovic: yeah.

Aaron: this and you pull their body off the battery, and it's like this

Aaron: long hooked pole.

Aaron: And they're like, yeah, they're like, yeah, but how do you know

Aaron: when they're being shot?

Aaron: It's like, oh, they'll just

Aaron: stand there and start smoking,

Aaron: you know?

Aaron: Oh.

Adam Kovic: We could do that.

Adam Kovic: That could be us.

Aaron: I like this idea, this mobile data center

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: idea.

Adam Kovic: What

Aaron: Actually,

Adam Kovic: else?

Aaron: it'd

Adam Kovic: What

Aaron: be awesome

Adam Kovic: else?

Aaron: to park it outside of rich people's houses and just be

Adam Kovic: And

Aaron: like.

Adam Kovic: just just run Kali Linux and try to break into their Wi-Fi.

Aaron: Yeah, this is, this is we're building data centers here now,

Aaron: but it's mobile.

Aaron: So we

Adam Kovic: Oh, yeah.

Aaron: can.

Adam Kovic: That's a great idea.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: Oh. Oh, that.

Adam Kovic: See, that's a great idea.

Adam Kovic: We we get sponsored by ChatGPT

Adam Kovic: to bring AI to the most rural of

Adam Kovic: areas.

Adam Kovic: And we're like, well, we'll bring a local version of ChatGPT

Adam Kovic: to your house via our bus.

Adam Kovic: Uh, at some point they escort us out of the building, but,

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: you know, they have money to spend, I

Aaron: And

Adam Kovic: think.

Aaron: we're using like a Quinn model anyway.

Adam Kovic: Yeah,

Aaron: Like we're just

Adam Kovic: well.

Aaron: using.

Adam Kovic: And we have to use llama.

Adam Kovic: I'm sorry.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: Like we only have one thirty, sixty.

Adam Kovic: It's.

Adam Kovic: That's all we can afford.

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Aaron: I like the idea.

Adam Kovic: I like it too.

Adam Kovic: I again, it might just stay that, but um, I would love, I'd

Adam Kovic: love to build a bus that is, that has actually always been a

Adam Kovic: dream of mine.

Aaron: Sorry.

Aaron: My vacuum cleaner just came in.

Aaron: It's telling

Adam Kovic: I can

Aaron: me

Adam Kovic: hear

Aaron: it's

Adam Kovic: it.

Aaron: time.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. It's it's time for your monthly security screening.

Aaron: Yeah, man.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. Speaking of which, I need a, I need to debloat my LG TV

Adam Kovic: because apparently it's using my soundbar to listen to dogs

Adam Kovic: barking to pitch me dog food.

Aaron: Jesus Christ.

Adam Kovic: It's gotten really bad.

Adam Kovic: I keep yeah, there's this thing called like broken glass or

Adam Kovic: something like that.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: I gotta look into.

Adam Kovic: Yeah, I don't know.

Adam Kovic: Your TV's pretty dumb, so you don't need to worry about that.

Aaron: My TV barely functions as a TV.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. Glass house, that's the one.

Adam Kovic: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: I think I've been saying this for weeks.

Adam Kovic: I'm going to finally do it today, I promise.

Aaron: All right.

Adam Kovic: All right.

Adam Kovic: Well, maybe I'll write about

Adam Kovic: that this week, since I didn't

Adam Kovic: write about anything the last

Adam Kovic: two weeks.

Aaron: Should a newsletter go out?

Aaron: I guess I need to help with that.

Adam Kovic: We should probably write something or

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: put something out new.

Adam Kovic: Yeah. I'm just oh, it's it's holiday stuff.

Adam Kovic: So yeah, the things that pay money are ramping up and I've

Adam Kovic: been stupid busy, but I still want to do things.

Adam Kovic: I want to make stuff.

Aaron: Yeah.

Adam Kovic: I want to do my, my slop tank video.

Aaron: Yeah, yeah.
