Aaron: Hello.
Adam K: Hi, grandpa.
Aaron: Um, there's a it's a pretty big
Aaron: storm that just moved in with
Aaron: some, uh, startling, uh,
Aaron: lightning strikes that are very
Aaron: close by.
Adam K: I didn't know Starlink could do lightning strikes.
Adam K: That's cool.
Adam K: You just, like, pick who you want to die.
Aaron: Uh, yeah, I, I mean, I thought these were some sort of, uh, I
Aaron: got nothing, but
Adam K: And.
Aaron: yeah, they, they, these are
Aaron: hitting transformers pretty
Aaron: close by.
Aaron: I think, uh, I think Riggs may be deaf because he doesn't seem
Aaron: to care about any of this, but I definitely jumped about not
Aaron: three minutes ago.
Adam K: Say, aw, he's not a pussy.
Aaron: Yeah, but he is, uh, I've seen him run away from things, so.
Adam K: Much smaller things.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: Yeah, I was going to say something about Optimus Prime
Adam K: dying, but too soon, I think.
Adam K: You don't know who that is, do you?
Aaron: Oh. The guy.
Aaron: Sorry.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: I don't know.
Adam K: The transformer.
Adam K: I'm done.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Three day weekends are the best, aren't they?
Aaron: No, I mean, I, I was yesterday I
Aaron: said this pool for, um, well,
Aaron: about eight hours, uh, my
Aaron: buddy's pool and, uh, I was
Aaron: trying to be a wingman for him
Aaron: and, uh, with a girl at the
Aaron: pool.
Aaron: And I got there at one p m and I was like, I'm just going to be
Aaron: here for like, an hour or two.
Aaron: I'm gonna have a beer and that's that.
Aaron: And I go, cut to nine o'clock at night.
Aaron: And I don't know how many bud lights and truly's and something
Aaron: else in there.
Aaron: And then I ended up ordering this pizza.
Aaron: I ordered a sixteen inch pizza and I saw on my bank account
Aaron: statement today, it said it was sixty dollars, which I don't
Aaron: know how that's possible.
Aaron: But anyway, it was all to feed this, this fucking person he was
Aaron: trying to bang and it didn't end up working out for anybody, so.
Adam K: This feels like a modern version of Brooks story at the end of
Adam K: The Shawshank Redemption.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Pizza cost sixty dollars now, and my Friend can't get laid.
Aaron: Get
Adam K: Which.
Aaron: busy
Adam K: When has that ever worked?
Aaron: or get busy fucking.
Adam K: When has it ever worked for one
Adam K: guy to go up to another woman
Adam K: and go, hey, my buddy over there
Adam K: who can't even work up the
Adam K: courage to talk to you, wants to
Adam K: talk?
Adam K: It's.
Aaron: No,
Adam K: It's
Aaron: he
Adam K: terrible.
Aaron: he did it.
Aaron: He lured it over with, uh,
Aaron: whatever sparkling malt beverage
Aaron: he had.
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: And, uh, and she started having that.
Aaron: So he did, he did the, you know, initial contact.
Aaron: And I just kind of like, you
Aaron: know, uh, providing, uh, I was a
Aaron: hype man.
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: Uh, I, I was lying about all of his accomplishments
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: and everything he's
Adam K: Oh.
Aaron: ever done.
Adam K: Remember when you I was we were hanging out.
Adam K: We were wrestling naked in your giant dick.
Adam K: Hit me in the side of the face, man.
Aaron: You remember how you had too much money that one time, and
Aaron: you just started throwing it at, uh, poor people.
Aaron: Less fortunate people.
Aaron: Yeah, I remember that, uh, man.
Adam K: So
Aaron: And.
Adam K: cool.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: That's a good wingman right there.
Aaron: Yeah. And, uh, but it was kind of all for naught because I went
Aaron: to go pick up the pizza in the lobby when it arrived.
Aaron: And when I came back, she was gone.
Aaron: And he, he told me that he'd done the old closer of, hey,
Aaron: after eating some pizza, you want to go upstairs and fuck.
Adam K: Oh,
Aaron: And,
Adam K: boy,
Aaron: uh, well,
Adam K: oh, boy.
Aaron: she said that she had an early meeting and anyway,
Adam K: Man.
Aaron: so I did all that and, um, got home, uh, via Uber.
Aaron: But the rest of it, I'm kind of like, remember exactly the
Aaron: process of getting into bed.
Adam K: When?
Adam K: When do the Tesla robotaxis come to Houston?
Adam K: I know the all the really cool
Adam K: guys who moved from California
Adam K: to Austin are testing them right
Adam K: now.
Aaron: There, here and there.
Aaron: Also Waymo's too, but
Adam K: Oh.
Aaron: I do my transportation the old fashioned way via human.
Aaron: That has to work on Labor Day.
Adam K: Using an ID that was probably
Adam K: stolen from someone at some
Adam K: rental agency.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: I just
Aaron: No.
Adam K: rented
Aaron: It's fine.
Adam K: a car.
Adam K: My ID is gonna get stolen immediately.
Aaron: Um.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: Uh, but yeah, other than that, it was good.
Adam K: Um, well, I'm happy for you.
Adam K: It rained here, and I'm trying to build a gate, so.
Adam K: And then, uh, you remember a
Adam K: while ago, you were talking
Adam K: about putting a new stereo in
Adam K: your.
Adam K: I think it was your Toyota.
Aaron: Giving the Karmann Ghia.
Adam K: No, no, no, you were talking
Adam K: about getting like a Tesla
Adam K: screen, basically.
Aaron: Oh, for the Land Cruiser.
Aaron: That was like,
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: three or four years ago.
Adam K: I know, but you sent me down a rabbit hole back then
Aaron: Uh.
Adam K: and I didn't realize, oh, you could basically just install an
Adam K: Android tablet into any car.
Adam K: And it, it basically updates it to whatever modern car.
Adam K: So like, you know, we got a
Adam K: Rav4, it's the first version of
Adam K: the new versions or whatever
Adam K: twenty nineteen.
Adam K: And so the stereo is, it's ancient, it's very old.
Adam K: It's, it's like a Commodore basically.
Adam K: It's just not you can do CarPlay, that's fine.
Adam K: But like it's laggy.
Adam K: It's just kind of like, man, like if there's one thing I
Adam K: could, if I could update it would be that because I've used
Adam K: other Toyotas since then and they have better units that are
Adam K: just like, they're not as laggy, not as crappy.
Adam K: And I'm like, that's basically all I want.
Adam K: Um, so I spent the weekend trying to install one of those
Adam K: and it's fun.
Aaron: You met your your capabilities.
Aaron: You didn't know what your limitations were.
Adam K: Well, I've done one before.
Adam K: Did it in an older car.
Adam K: And so like, I know the limitations of it,
Aaron: You
Adam K: one
Aaron: talking
Adam K: of which
Aaron: about
Adam K: is.
Aaron: like twenty years ago with like a head display unit?
Adam K: No, no, I um, before downgrading to one car I,
Aaron: Oh, yeah.
Aaron: In
Adam K: yeah,
Aaron: your other car.
Aaron: Yeah,
Adam K: yeah,
Aaron: yeah.
Adam K: yeah, I had and it was a Toyota.
Adam K: It was, I think it was a twenty eighteen, I forget whatever I
Adam K: got it because it was like the cheapest car you could get that
Adam K: would allow you to do some sort of self driving things.
Adam K: I wanted to try out that
Adam K: openpilot thing anyway,
Adam K: whatever.
Adam K: So I've done it before and I'm
Adam K: like, okay, I know one of the
Adam K: things that you lose is your
Adam K: microphone.
Adam K: If you have a built in microphone in the car, you got
Adam K: to use a third party one, which is kind of stupid.
Adam K: But I'm like, okay, that's I guess the call quality was never
Adam K: like the highlight.
Adam K: highlights.
Adam K: I'm like, okay, I can work around that.
Adam K: Um, and then the other one is
Adam K: the screen is going to be so
Adam K: much bigger that your backup
Adam K: camera is going to look like
Adam K: complete ass.
Adam K: So potentially have to take care of that.
Adam K: It's, it's fine.
Adam K: But either way, I got everything installed.
Adam K: It was running, it followed the
Adam K: guide, half Mandarin, half
Adam K: English.
Adam K: Like they also just kind of give you a guide for every one of
Adam K: their head units that they sell.
Adam K: So you
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: kind of have to figure it out.
Adam K: Uh, and I got it working.
Adam K: And then I went over a bump in
Adam K: the audio cut out and I went,
Adam K: I'm like, okay, so that's, I'm
Adam K: like, that's, that's obviously
Adam K: on me.
Adam K: I, I probably just, it's a bunch of wires are probably all
Adam K: crumpled up back there.
Adam K: So I took it apart again, rearranged the wires.
Adam K: I even like use electrical tape to keep the cables connected.
Aaron: Uh.
Adam K: And I'm like, all right, let's do this.
Adam K: Went over very small bump audio cut out.
Adam K: So I have since asked for a refund.
Adam K: And they said, well, we'll send you another one.
Adam K: You know, if that's a problem, then we'll go from there.
Adam K: So I have a crappy one sitting on my floor right now and I have
Adam K: another one on its way.
Adam K: So that was a good chunk of my
Adam K: Labor Day was doing that since I
Adam K: couldn't really like do any
Adam K: woodworking outside.
Adam K: So.
Aaron: Well, um, that just shows you you should have had a small
Aaron: child do it from the factory.
Adam K: I will pay someone to install
Adam K: the reverse camera because I
Adam K: don't know what the hell I'm
Adam K: doing there.
Aaron: That's fine.
Aaron: I mean, that's I would think
Aaron: that'd be that's just putting in
Aaron: a camera.
Aaron: I have to take my Land Cruiser
Aaron: into the, the the car store,
Aaron: whatever.
Aaron: I have to take it into the, the
Aaron: shop because I replace all the
Aaron: AC stuff.
Aaron: And then I cannot figure out for
Aaron: the life of me why it won't
Aaron: hold.
Aaron: I well, it won't make a vacuum or do anything.
Aaron: There's something going on.
Aaron: I don't have the equipment to test it and so now I have to.
Aaron: I have to cry, uncle.
Aaron: And they've got
Adam K: Is
Aaron: a five
Adam K: that
Aaron: thousand dollars machine.
Aaron: That
Adam K: is
Aaron: will
Adam K: that
Aaron: do.
Adam K: the car you bought from that old couple that didn't know that
Adam K: ISIS was going to try to buy it.
Aaron: Oh, yeah.
Aaron: Yeah, yeah.
Adam K: You, like, swindled them, basically.
Aaron: I didn't swindle him.
Aaron: I told him exactly what was going on.
Aaron: Mostly.
Adam K: I think you played into their deep seated racism and said,
Adam K: listen, if you don't sell to me, you know what's going to happen
Adam K: with this vehicle.
Adam K: It's
Aaron: The
Adam K: going
Aaron: word.
Adam K: to kill Americans.
Aaron: I think the word packy was thrown out there.
Adam K: Ooh.
Aaron: Not by me.
Adam K: Oh, boy.
Aaron: By them, when
Adam K: Okay.
Aaron: they had these fiery eyes.
Aaron: And I
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: said, do not assume that I am one of those people.
Aaron: No. Um,
Adam K: Wow.
Aaron: they what I think came out was um, they said, uh, they put up
Aaron: the listing and it was for a certain price and that certain
Aaron: price was probably a about forty percent of what they could have
Aaron: charged for it.
Aaron: And I immediately called them and said, hey, I'll be there.
Aaron: I won't hassle you or haggle.
Aaron: I'll pay the cash.
Aaron: And they're like, oh, that sounds great.
Aaron: So I drove two hours to them, and in that two hours, they'd
Aaron: gotten eight hundred phone calls from all around the world in
Aaron: various accents and things.
Aaron: And, uh.
Aaron: And when I got there, they, they
Aaron: seemed like very, just
Aaron: disturbed.
Aaron: And I was like something,
Aaron: something up and they're like,
Aaron: what's, what's going on with
Aaron: this car?
Aaron: And I said, what do you mean?
Aaron: And they're like, is this a special car or something?
Aaron: And I'm like, no, I mean, it does have a following.
Aaron: You know, people do like them.
Aaron: She's like, we got a call from Dubai.
Aaron: I was like, oh, that's nice.
Aaron: And I said,
Adam K: They're
Aaron: well, look.
Adam K: on their way via helicopter now.
Aaron: Yeah, uh, the m b e or whatever his name is anyway.
Aaron: So, uh, I said, well, look, I'll
Aaron: go up to Grand, but not more
Aaron: than that.
Aaron: I have cash right here.
Aaron: And, uh, I'll just be on my way
Aaron: because they were, they
Aaron: basically said, we can't sell it
Aaron: anymore because we're too
Aaron: overwhelmed.
Aaron: I'm like, I'll just give you an extra two grand and then we'll
Aaron: call it that.
Aaron: And they're like, okay, so I just bought it.
Aaron: I barely inspected, I basically made sure it didn't have any
Aaron: frame damage and wasn't rusted because if that was the case, it
Aaron: was perfect and I didn't.
Aaron: So I handed him a wad of cash and drove off.
Aaron: And then, uh, that and that was even when the car market was
Aaron: like exploding to post Covid.
Aaron: So it would have been even more.
Aaron: But,
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: uh, yeah, so now
Adam K: well.
Aaron: I have it and I have a, it's a twenty five year old Land
Aaron: Cruiser that's worth even more than when I bought it.
Adam K: Unless whatever issue with it persists and then I don't know,
Adam K: it'll it's a Toyota.
Adam K: It's going to last forever and
Adam K: it will it'll be it was in the
Adam K: last war and it'll be in the
Adam K: next one.
Aaron: Oh,
Adam K: So.
Aaron: yeah.
Aaron: Yeah, there's still plenty of ISIS and Taliban driving these
Aaron: around, scouting out their next, you know, mass casualty event.
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: So it's
Adam K: In
Aaron: got
Adam K: a way
Aaron: that
Adam K: to get good
Aaron: pedigree.
Adam K: gas mileage.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: I mean, the fact that I can, uh,
Adam K: you know, the towing
Adam K: capabilities and the amount of
Adam K: soccer equipment you can fit in
Adam K: the back is just perfect for
Adam K: Afghanistan.
Aaron: They say you drive a Land Rover, too.
Aaron: The weapon of mass destruction.
Aaron: But if you want to get back from it, you drive a Land Cruiser.
Adam K: So they don't use rav4's then, huh?
Adam K: That's just more for lame white people like me.
Aaron: I think they put them in their victims in them, before they
Aaron: drive them into the ocean.
Aaron: They, like, get
Adam K: Uh.
Aaron: called for gay man.
Adam K: The Rivian test drive really
Adam K: made me appreciate a car, a
Adam K: normal car.
Adam K: So now I'm just trying to take
Adam K: better care of the current
Adam K: vehicle.
Adam K: I'm like, maybe.
Adam K: Maybe don't need to buy a new car.
Aaron: Well, it's just going to have a face camera in there anyway.
Aaron: Telling you whether you're your
Aaron: eyes or your mouth are open
Aaron: enough.
Adam K: Yeah. You don't look like you care about the economy enough.
Adam K: We're going to just deduct something from your account
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: for some future.
Adam K: Like seat belts.
Aaron: Or that you're like.
Aaron: Or they're the cars, like you're drunk.
Aaron: And it's like, no, I had a stroke.
Aaron: And it's like, we're shutting off your car now.
Aaron: And that's that.
Adam K: I saw something half listening
Adam K: while, you know, running a saw
Adam K: blade that they're about to dump
Adam K: a bunch of money into Ken
Adam K: Paxton's campaign.
Adam K: I was like, should we try to get in on that?
Adam K: Should we be like, we already got this website up and.
Aaron: I feel like there's some knowing
Aaron: what I know about Texas, they,
Aaron: uh, they may be sloppy in some
Aaron: ways, but they certainly they,
Aaron: they know when the corruption
Aaron: hasn't gone the right way and
Aaron: anything over one hundred
Aaron: dollars that goes in the wrong
Aaron: pocket.
Aaron: They're going to go like, and who are you?
Aaron: And then I'll end up getting the death penalty.
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: So.
Adam K: I'm saying all this as someone
Adam K: who's out of state and actively
Adam K: making plans to get out of the
Adam K: country.
Adam K: So
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: I'm just I'm sort of, you know,
Adam K: well, it's Leeroy Jenkins, this
Adam K: thing.
Adam K: Whereas yeah, you're going to stay behind because of what is
Adam K: it attachment I don't know.
Aaron: The, uh, I think, I think Donald
Aaron: Trump's like Maga Inc has four
Aaron: hundred or five hundred million
Aaron: dollars that they're just not
Aaron: spending on any of the
Aaron: Republican races.
Aaron: And, uh, and I think it was Joseph Kennedy was on the news,
Aaron: Fox News or something going like, well, Donald Trump is
Aaron: being he's very gracious.
Aaron: He's going to release about ten
Aaron: million dollars for these races,
Aaron: blah, blah.
Aaron: And I was like, he's going to
Aaron: release, what is that two
Aaron: percent, two and a half percent
Aaron: of the of what he's talked about
Aaron: him like he's really kind to
Aaron: y'all.
Aaron: He doesn't give a fuck.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: So
Adam K: Well.
Aaron: yeah, even Ken Paxton, I don't know how much you get of that.
Aaron: He's getting outraised by Talarico.
Adam K: Yeah. But as we've seen before, it doesn't matter.
Aaron: No.
Adam K: You live in a red state.
Adam K: You'll die in a red state.
Adam K: I'm sorry.
Aaron: And my friends, every every two years they go
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: I it's looking purple.
Aaron: I'm like what
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: you're you're cock from strangling it over this stuff.
Aaron: It's the only thing that's happening here.
Adam K: Uh, well, on that note.
Adam K: So we want to try to I'm, I want
Adam K: to put the video out, but I'm
Adam K: just like, what's the context
Adam K: here?
Adam K: Just you've got a, you got a YouTube channel with a bunch of
Adam K: random video game videos, a mask review, uh, something vaguely
Adam K: related to bunkers and now an ad campaign for Ken Paxton.
Adam K: Um, is there anything else you want to do around it?
Adam K: Or just say fuck it and just upload it?
Adam K: Whatever.
Aaron: Um, now we could write a little thing around it.
Aaron: Uh, I know there was a little thing with the.
Aaron: No. Did we put out something with the website?
Adam K: Yeah. Tell me.
Adam K: Tell me what we did.
Aaron: Well, I definitely read it and saw it.
Aaron: Uh, but
Adam K: We put out the press.
Adam K: We did a fake press
Aaron: the fake
Adam K: release.
Aaron: press release, I think what this would entail is, is a shorter
Aaron: thing for just the YouTube description stuff being, you
Aaron: know, essentially, uh, almost like a, not an SEO type thing,
Aaron: but it's basically kind of explaining ourselves in a tongue
Aaron: in cheek manner and
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: it just release it.
Adam K: Yeah. That's fine.
Adam K: And
Aaron: That
Adam K: yeah.
Aaron: press release was good.
Adam K: Thank you.
Adam K: I was I've read a lot of them and they're all pretty stupid.
Adam K: So I've learned
Aaron: And
Adam K: from the best.
Aaron: I enjoy when you write your own things.
Adam K: Thank you.
Adam K: I mean, I still run it through
Adam K: an AI to be like, hey, um, I'm
Adam K: dyslexic and I think I have like
Adam K: a ninth grade reading level sort
Adam K: of aptitude.
Adam K: Um,
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: I know what the word lexicon means sometimes.
Adam K: With that in mind, please look over my writing and it goes
Adam K: like, okay, well, this is just missing a word.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: Like, yeah, huh.
Adam K: Like this one's spelled wrong.
Adam K: Uh, I don't think you know what this word means.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Oh, yeah. Okay. Well. Thank you.
Adam K: Yeah.
Adam K: So.
Aaron: And then it rates you based on it's like considering you have a
Aaron: learning disability, I'd say this is a pretty good piece.
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: And then
Adam K: it just signs me up for Upwork
Aaron: a bunch
Adam K: and.
Aaron: of emoticons and.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Yeah. It's always that like arm
Adam K: pump thing, which I think is
Adam K: just telling me to work out
Adam K: more.
Adam K: It's like you're looking kind of fat.
Adam K: Like, thanks.
Adam K: I don't think that's how you get rid of excess weight.
Adam K: I think you're supposed to diet.
Adam K: And it's like, shut up.
Adam K: Um, no, that would be Astra.
Adam K: I think Astra talks back to you now.
Aaron: Oh, I should try that.
Adam K: Well, because.
Adam K: Yeah, we're supposed we should
Adam K: have hit a g. I, I think
Adam K: yesterday.
Adam K: So
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: quit your job, uh, sell off all
Adam K: your money's not going to mean
Adam K: anything anymore.
Adam K: We're, uh, we're all going to live forever, thank
Aaron: I,
Adam K: God.
Aaron: I'm made comfortable by the fact that we can finally start
Aaron: talking seriously about UBI because, you know, with all this
Aaron: AI stuff, even though really for the last fifty years, we could
Aaron: have instituted it with the wealth that we have.
Aaron: Now is the time.
Aaron: Now things are going to change.
Aaron: Now.
Aaron: People are going to change their
Aaron: minds about welfare and
Aaron: supporting people.
Aaron: And
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: like, really?
Aaron: And it started yesterday.
Adam K: Yeah. Texas will be a blue state.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: No, I mean, it's the the comparison I saw.
Adam K: There's that guy wrote the book where it's like, whoever builds
Adam K: it, we all die.
Adam K: Haven't read it yet, but it's very.
Adam K: As they say.
Adam K: Doomer.
Adam K: And the comparison is do we care about what ants are doing?
Adam K: Like, yes, but ants didn't make us.
Adam K: And ants don't have like the
Adam K: comprehension of like, they
Adam K: don't have self-awareness like
Adam K: humans do.
Adam K: So I don't think it's one to one
Adam K: where it's like, it's, it seems
Adam K: inevitable that some sort of AI
Adam K: will take over the world, but
Adam K: just not in the way that we
Adam K: think.
Adam K: We've talked about this before where it's saying like, the
Adam K: pandemic should have been that movie contagion, but it wasn't.
Adam K: It should have been outbreak, but it wasn't.
Adam K: It's never as sexy or fun.
Adam K: It's just kind of like, well, we got the boring version of it.
Adam K: So it's going to be the boring
Adam K: version of your entire life is
Adam K: automated.
Adam K: It's just going to creep in little by little.
Adam K: It's like having a cell phone.
Adam K: It's like being attached to
Adam K: social media and being in a
Adam K: little echo chamber twenty four
Adam K: hours a day where that just kind
Adam K: of sort of became normalized,
Adam K: that we have forgotten to think
Adam K: for ourselves.
Adam K: And we're still kind of grasping
Adam K: at those things, but we keep
Adam K: showing that we're just going to
Adam K: keep dipping towards
Adam K: convenience.
Adam K: So I don't know, I it's just I think it's going to get there
Adam K: where the, the term is meet proxy will just become these
Adam K: things that are just conduits for the, the machines.
Adam K: And we're like, yeah, I guess
Adam K: they need to build a new data
Adam K: center.
Adam K: I guess we should use our hands until they can, or we need to
Adam K: build the robots so they can build it faster.
Adam K: Uh, and then next thing you know, we don't have any water,
Adam K: but it's fine because they've invented a new water for us.
Aaron: My buddy developed this thing.
Aaron: It's three lights.
Aaron: Green, yellow, red.
Aaron: And he does contracts, and he may he makes ChatGPT scan these
Aaron: documents that he's supposed to look at and say whether it's
Aaron: green, yellow or red.
Aaron: And he sends it to his boss and
Aaron: he's like, based on our our
Aaron: rating system, this is a yellow
Aaron: contract.
Aaron: We can't move forward.
Aaron: And the company didn't know that they had a red, yellow, uh,
Aaron: green like lighting system.
Aaron: And they think they're going to give them a raise because of
Aaron: this system he developed.
Aaron: That is just his prompt was do three lights saying whether this
Aaron: is good or not.
Aaron: So now the, the, his bosses are like, this is unbelievable, this
Aaron: compliance thing you've built.
Aaron: So that's where we're going to be at.
Adam K: There is a guy, there's some company in my neighborhood, and
Adam K: they're handing out these flyers for you can get a, a house
Adam K: battery for like, it was like something like seventy bucks a
Adam K: month or something like that.
Adam K: And I, I've, I, I have the dream
Adam K: of being off grid and all that
Adam K: stuff.
Adam K: So I called him just to be like,
Adam K: all right, what's the deal with
Adam K: this?
Adam K: And like, yeah, you know, this is the thing.
Adam K: And he's like, actually, don't
Adam K: don't tell any of my bosses
Adam K: about this, but I, I made a
Adam K: little calculator.
Adam K: Um, you know, and I'll, I'll send it to you and you can from
Adam K: there, you put in your electricity bill and it'll tell
Adam K: you how much money you'll save.
Adam K: And I was like, oh, cool.
Adam K: And he just sent me a prompt
Adam K: like, because I was like, oh, do
Adam K: you have is like a Docker
Adam K: container?
Adam K: He's like, whoa, slow down there, Mr. Computer man.
Adam K: I was like,
Aaron: Just put in your address
Adam K: yeah,
Aaron: the last
Adam K: well,
Aaron: eight of your social.
Adam K: no, it was, it was really like,
Adam K: grandpa built an app sort of
Adam K: thing,
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: but instead of an app, it was just like, here's, here are the
Adam K: words to use.
Adam K: So I took his words.
Adam K: I fed the cloud code and said, here, build this app.
Adam K: So built it out.
Adam K: And I said, actually even theme it like their own website so
Adam K: they can just build it in.
Adam K: I'll send it off to them and they can have this vibe code, a
Adam K: piece of trash.
Adam K: Uh, the problem is I use the calculator and it said I would
Adam K: be losing money because my house generates enough solar that
Adam K: having a battery makes no sense.
Adam K: And like clouds, like, don't do this shit.
Adam K: This is stupid.
Adam K: And I'm like, it.
Adam K: Well, sir, you will be getting a demotion as
Aaron: You
Adam K: opposed
Aaron: have just
Adam K: to.
Aaron: unsold yourself.
Adam K: I mean, he did with his his his prompt injection.
Adam K: So, uh, anyway, fun stories with
Adam K: AI and how it controls our
Adam K: lives.
Adam K: I still haven't messed with Astra much.
Adam K: Uh, I see people are like, have
Adam K: you seen the 3D things people
Adam K: are doing?
Adam K: I can, like, work inside blender.
Aaron: Oh, yeah.
Aaron: I've seen a little bit of that.
Aaron: I was interested in that because
Aaron: I was thinking about designing
Aaron: my own engine, and I was kind of
Aaron: exploring that.
Aaron: And that just happened to be in the zeitgeist.
Adam K: Well, I can also, it's less of
Adam K: the, um, like the diffusion
Adam K: model stuff where you can just
Adam K: point it to like a Photoshop or
Adam K: a Photoshop or one of these,
Adam K: like, you know, Photoshop
Adam K: knockoffs.
Adam K: And you can
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: be like, here's a picture, draw
Adam K: it and it will draw it in real
Adam K: time.
Adam K: So it's
Aaron: Oh.
Adam K: actually, yeah, it is.
Adam K: It's the monkey with the paintbrush now.
Adam K: So it's going to get really weirder sooner than later.
Aaron: Well, I'm banking on.
Aaron: So I want to get one of those
Aaron: industrial 3D scanners because
Aaron: they're like the really fancy
Aaron: ones are like sixteen hundred
Aaron: bucks now.
Aaron: And they used to be like a billion.
Aaron: But, um, and I want to buy a, a
Aaron: certain series, uh, Porsche flat
Aaron: six engine and I want to scan it
Aaron: and then give it to either
Aaron: ChatGPT or, or Claude and have
Aaron: it make a, um, a CAD file to
Aaron: where it removes two cylinders
Aaron: of it.
Aaron: And it makes me a flat four version of the engine that I,
Aaron: that I can put in something and then I will take that CAD file
Aaron: and take it to a, a, uh, like a smelting of metal shop or
Aaron: whatever, and they'll make it out of aluminum, and then I'll
Aaron: have an engine I designed.
Aaron: Yeah, I'm going to do that.
Adam K: Oh, I believe you.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: I mean,
Aaron: Well.
Adam K: my the gate I'm building was basically an AI assisted project
Adam K: where I took a photo
Aaron: The
Adam K: of
Aaron: one where you
Adam K: the
Aaron: gave
Adam K: space.
Aaron: up.
Adam K: No, I'm still working on it.
Aaron: Oh,
Adam K: I just couldn't do anything
Adam K: yesterday because it was
Adam K: raining.
Aaron: okay.
Adam K: I'm not going to.
Adam K: I'm going to probably finish it.
Adam K: Well, most of it today, but like basically took a photo of my
Adam K: shitty gate and I said, make a modern looking version of this.
Adam K: And I was like, okay, I like that.
Adam K: What supplies do I need?
Adam K: And it gave me a full shopping list.
Adam K: Double checked it.
Adam K: It was like, wanted me to get some eight foot two by fours,
Adam K: which was a little overkill.
Aaron: Stupid.
Adam K: Well, I was like the the longest one is only fifty four inches,
Adam K: so maybe six feet.
Adam K: So I was like, yeah, go ahead.
Adam K: Save the money.
Adam K: So I was like, I don't it's so it was like a little wasteful
Adam K: here and there.
Adam K: Um, Um, but like overall is like just kind of needed like a
Adam K: ballpark of like the pieces.
Adam K: You saw all the wood in my car.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Um, yeah.
Adam K: May have, yeah, I don't, I don't know if I want to do too much.
Adam K: I just, I know if I had paid
Adam K: someone to do it, it would have
Adam K: been like a three thousand
Adam K: dollars project because I live
Adam K: in LA.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Um, and then I saw these frames you can buy on Amazon that are
Adam K: modular and adjustable because whoever built the original gate
Adam K: here was a psychopath and made it two different sizes.
Adam K: Um, so now I have to do two
Adam K: different sizes just because of
Adam K: where they put the posts
Adam K: originally.
Adam K: So I was like, well, I don't
Adam K: want to take the posts out
Adam K: because that's, that's the
Adam K: hardest part.
Adam K: I just, I want to like replace these giant heavy gates.
Adam K: So, um.
Aaron: I guess it is pretty much like my engine idea.
Adam K: Similar, but I was just saying like, there is a world of these,
Adam K: like the sort of AI assisted stuff to help with like sort of
Adam K: everyday things where, you know, in the past you would post this
Adam K: on a message board, ask for help, get yelled at, and then
Adam K: someone meets you in a parking lot and it's not what you were
Adam K: looking for, but you still have a good time.
Adam K: It's just, you know, you're
Adam K: nowhere near closer to your
Adam K: goal.
Aaron: I'm excited that because I was
Aaron: talking with the fable about it
Aaron: yesterday and it was saying
Aaron: like, yeah, once you have that
Aaron: scan, I can help you with, you
Aaron: know, some of the oil passageway
Aaron: stuff and some of the things
Aaron: that need to be kind of evened
Aaron: out before you send it to the,
Aaron: to the metal place, aluminum
Aaron: molding place.
Aaron: And I was like, cool.
Aaron: I'm just imagining like it all sounds good.
Aaron: And it all makes sense to me.
Aaron: And I know as soon as I turn the
Aaron: key in, whatever I install it
Aaron: with, it's just going to
Aaron: grenade.
Aaron: And I'll then I'll be like,
Aaron: well, that's twenty five grand
Aaron: right there.
Aaron: And then faith will be like, oh, yeah, you know, that's my bad.
Aaron: I should have seen that we
Aaron: installed the oil pressure pump
Aaron: upside down, and that led to the
Aaron: catastrophic grenading sound you
Aaron: heard.
Aaron: So I don't know, but I think it'll be okay.
Aaron: I'm I'm hopeful.
Aaron: And plus, I want to get one.
Aaron: I want to use one of those
Aaron: scanners and just start making
Aaron: all sorts.
Aaron: I'm going to scan everything.
Adam K: That sounds like a good use of your time.
Aaron: Yeah. Well, you can scan it so
Aaron: it's accurate to point zero one
Aaron: five of a millimeter over two
Aaron: meters.
Aaron: So that's like half a thousandth of an inch.
Aaron: Drift over two meters.
Aaron: I could scan I could scan anything.
Aaron: I'm
Adam K: You
Aaron: looking
Adam K: sound.
Aaron: around.
Aaron: I can
Adam K: You
Aaron: scan
Adam K: sound like
Aaron: all
Adam K: Michael
Aaron: of
Adam K: Ironside.
Aaron: this.
Aaron: Yeah. Scan me.
Adam K: You gotta.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: You need a deeper voice.
Aaron: Scan me, scan me,
Adam K: You scared me.
Aaron: scan
Adam K: I can't,
Aaron: me. But yeah,
Adam K: Fisher.
Aaron: but I could, you know, but then when I say that they look at me
Aaron: in fear and then I just pull out this thing that looks like a
Aaron: really looks like an inside out Oculus, and I just kind of move
Aaron: it around their head and be like, all right, all done.
Aaron: I'm gonna make your head out of plastic from somewhere.
Adam K: I found out I'm like royalty
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: of some kind.
Adam K: Um, so my cousin is really hot on the idea of getting a
Adam K: citizenship in Croatia
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: because we, we were like, I
Adam K: guess, able to trace back our
Adam K: lineage to this like small
Adam K: village.
Adam K: And the village is on Google
Adam K: Maps, but it's dilapidated, but
Adam K: there's people who still live
Adam K: there.
Adam K: And I think according to like the satellite imagery, there's
Adam K: only three there.
Adam K: But, um, I was thinking maybe when I take the town back over,
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: you can open up a little shop
Adam K: there and you can maybe you can
Adam K: just scan everything there for
Adam K: me.
Aaron: It's like three people living there and they're all trying to
Aaron: put a radio in their horse cart and they can't try and make it
Aaron: work because the the record keeps skipping every time they
Aaron: go over a bump.
Adam K: Well, the Google Map data is interesting because it only goes
Adam K: so far, and the car or whatever man on the bike
Aaron: Just
Adam K: is.
Aaron: turned around.
Adam K: I think so because he's surrounded by dogs, and there's
Adam K: one person standing outside of a house with a caved in roof
Adam K: hanging their laundry.
Aaron: You send me this.
Adam K: Oh, I need to find it.
Adam K: Yeah, but it's, um, it's not showing up in my history.
Adam K: Maybe it got deleted.
Aaron: Is it
Adam K: Uh.
Aaron: one of those towns where they're like a dollar?
Aaron: You can buy this house, except there it'll be like one penny
Aaron: and you can have this town.
Adam K: I think so.
Adam K: I had two ideas.
Adam K: One, I can go there and run for
Adam K: mayor, and it'd be funny if I
Adam K: lost.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: Two, we pitched this as a TLC show or I don't know if they.
Adam K: My. My head is in two thousand and three.
Adam K: So,
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: um, but, you know, like a HGTV or, you know, we get Joanna
Adam K: Gaines to help out.
Adam K: It's like, hey, let's, let's turn this town around.
Adam K: And it's inheriting the village
Adam K: that my family got because they
Adam K: beheaded the head of some
Adam K: sultan.
Adam K: Um, that was redundant saying beheaded the head.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: Well, I cut off his dick or something.
Aaron: It would have been different.
Aaron: Different head.
Aaron: Sultan, were there Turks there or something?
Adam K: I'm not sure.
Adam K: But like I told you about this, our our family flag
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: is the dude's head we cut off.
Adam K: And because of that, they said, here's some land.
Adam K: And, um, I'm just saddened that
Adam K: we haven't done anything with
Adam K: it.
Adam K: So
Aaron: I want
Adam K: it.
Aaron: to see if it's the pretty part of Croatia or the shitty part.
Aaron: So you should send me the thing.
Adam K: It's near Zagreb.
Aaron: MM.
Adam K: Is that how you pronounce it?
Aaron: Um. Um. Let me see.
Adam K: Zach.
Aaron: Zagreb.
Adam K: Zach. Zagreb?
Adam K: It's like an hour outside of that.
Adam K: It's near like a park.
Adam K: Seems like a nice little area.
Adam K: Um, yeah.
Adam K: Because.
Adam K: So we traced our last name back, or I didn't.
Adam K: My cousin did.
Adam K: And so originally my last name was Kovacevic and my grandpa
Adam K: changed it, but the other family either didn't change it.
Adam K: So we got all this family in
Adam K: Wisconsin, and the other one
Adam K: changed it to Kovac, the one
Adam K: everyone uses.
Adam K: And so for whatever reason, we got the weird one.
Adam K: But it traces back to this village where I think we were
Adam K: called, like the dole of X, which is better.
Adam K: I actually don't know what that word means, but all I know is
Adam K: Kovacevic means it's the Smith of Croatia, so it fills me with
Adam K: a little bit of pride.
Adam K: Even though my twenty three and me says I'm an Irish mutt, so.
Adam K: But imagine that an American.
Adam K: A California man who's mostly
Adam K: Irish, comes to a Croatian
Adam K: village and claims eminent
Adam K: domain.
Adam K: How
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: is that not perfect for the Magnolia Channel?
Aaron: As soon as they sniff out your
Aaron: formula, they'll they'll overrun
Aaron: you.
Aaron: They'll
Adam K: I
Aaron: they'll
Adam K: think
Aaron: know what you're all about.
Adam K: I feel like they will just take me out the minute I walk in and
Adam K: they see the the Google car I'm driving or whatever, like the
Adam K: last guy, they ran out.
Aaron: There's a nature park called Zumberak.
Aaron: Uh, and then a lot of things
Aaron: that look like they could be
Aaron: your name, but they aren't your
Aaron: name.
Aaron: There's a crack,
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: there's a clink, clink.
Aaron: There's a kupiecki.
Adam K: I like, yeah, I've, I've heard of these places
Aaron: RM.
Adam K: from dreams.
Adam K: Um, yeah.
Adam K: It's uh, yeah, You see it?
Adam K: It's it's north.
Adam K: It's the north part of Croatia.
Aaron: Yeah. Sort of.
Adam K: Sort of. Oh, yeah.
Adam K: There's Karlovac.
Adam K: That's kind of like my last name.
Adam K: But anyway, so yeah, you know,
Adam K: I've, I've always had trouble
Adam K: sleeping.
Adam K: And I really related to that story of the.
Adam K: Was it the princess and the pea?
Adam K: That little girl wets herself.
Aaron: You're
Adam K: Um,
Aaron: that little girl.
Adam K: I'm that little girl.
Adam K: I've always felt like I'm just a little, you know, I feel like if
Adam K: I get cut, I bleed a lot and it doesn't heal very fast.
Aaron: Imagining this, the next Google
Aaron: pass, they do the guy riding the
Aaron: bike, he just captures you
Aaron: getting dragged through the
Aaron: streets by the three people who
Aaron: live there.
Aaron: Just basically tied to a cross or a stalk or something.
Adam K: Yeah. If you've never seen the intro to Resident Evil four,
Adam K: it's going to basically be that, but just with three people.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: We're going to just shout in some ugly language.
Adam K: I'm going to say Speak America, speak English.
Aaron: They probably do speak English
Aaron: and write English better than
Aaron: you do.
Adam K: Much better than I because they
Adam K: have contexts and, uh,
Adam K: understanding of the beauty of
Adam K: language.
Adam K: Whereas I just learned the words they said on the TV.
Aaron: I
Adam K: Not
Aaron: do want
Adam K: good.
Aaron: to see this town, though, because I want to see it.
Aaron: I want to buy property there.
Adam K: I won't let you.
Adam K: I'm going to take it back.
Aaron: Wow. You can't stop me.
Aaron: And I can probably figure out pretty quick too, where it's at.
Adam K: We find a sponsor, ideally like a Chinese prefab company, and we
Adam K: just turn it into the greatest Airbnb village there ever was.
Adam K: And I will be the king.
Aaron: Did I tell you this?
Aaron: So some of the Polish people I work with, this guy, he, uh,
Aaron: there's this kind of like a Slack channel that you can post
Aaron: in, uh, you know, like where you went on vacation.
Aaron: And so it's all these people,
Aaron: you know, of a certain
Aaron: nationality, i.e. American being
Aaron: like going to these gorgeous
Aaron: whatever places.
Aaron: And this guy posted that he went
Aaron: to Linkin Park and plugin and it
Aaron: was this, it like the, the
Aaron: pictures he posted the preview
Aaron: of it was like, it looked like a
Aaron: rundown prison.
Aaron: And I clicked into him.
Aaron: And it's basically this town that was destroyed so much and
Aaron: fucked up so much by the Nazis.
Aaron: And then like just bombing in general, they just abandoned it.
Aaron: And he was like, I always wanted to go vacation here.
Aaron: And he stayed at like the one place that's open there and had
Aaron: all these pictures of his, like going around and seeing the
Aaron: brown building and then going and seeing the gray building and
Aaron: then seeing the half gray, brown blown up building.
Aaron: Like it's
Adam K: Uh.
Aaron: just like, and, you know, you see like some Nazi writings on
Aaron: some of the walls.
Aaron: He's like, this is my favorite place.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: And I always read about and everyone's like, I want to be
Aaron: happy for her.
Aaron: I go, yeah, this looks good, I guess.
Aaron: Good job
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: man.
Adam K: Weird.
Aaron: So that's what I imagine your town is, is like.
Adam K: Well. I don't think it was even touched by World War Two.
Adam K: A tank may have gone through it.
Adam K: Maybe that's why the buildings are all falling apart.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: It just brushed against one of them.
Adam K: And then the rest just kind of fell apart.
Aaron: That's that old, uh, Ivanovich Domino building.
Adam K: Mhm. They're not connected in any way.
Aaron: Um,
Adam K: Which is more impressive.
Aaron: they
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: use what's called a floating foundation.
Aaron: As in it's not connected to anything and it's water damaged.
Adam K: Some people say it's a fool's errand to build a house on sand.
Adam K: They just leave it there.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: They
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: walk away, finish the laundry,
Adam K: throw some mystery meat at the
Adam K: dogs.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: Yeah. Oh,
Aaron: The dogs?
Adam K: I finished, I finished obsession.
Adam K: After we talked about it.
Adam K: Like I think right after
Aaron: Yeah. How was it?
Adam K: good is a good movie.
Aaron: So
Adam K: I
Aaron: it's magic.
Adam K: is magic and
Aaron: Okay.
Adam K: I liked the magic because they don't overexplain it.
Adam K: They're just like, it's magic.
Adam K: We could be fucking with you, but,
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: uh, it's got some rules.
Adam K: We think like, yeah.
Adam K: So I was like, okay, I, I, I like this the, I mean, for
Adam K: whatever, you know, it was like, it cost less than a million
Adam K: dollars or something like that.
Adam K: So I mean, you going in knowing that you could be like, okay,
Adam K: yeah, I could see it, but it's a very good, competent film.
Adam K: Like it's yeah, it's.
Aaron: Well
Adam K: It's better
Aaron: made
Adam K: than
Aaron: hundreds
Adam K: the Tomorrow
Aaron: of millions
Adam K: War.
Aaron: of dollars.
Aaron: So I imagine
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: someone
Adam K: yeah, I know,
Aaron: saw
Adam K: I
Aaron: that in it.
Adam K: know.
Adam K: Again, it's stuff like that
Adam K: gives me hope where it's like
Adam K: cool someone with like a, I
Adam K: mean, I don't have that money,
Adam K: but like a modest budget if you
Adam K: just gotta.
Adam K: I mean, also lightning in a
Adam K: bottle he found like the next
Adam K: big actress basically from
Adam K: there, hopefully.
Adam K: I mean, she's already getting cast in a bunch of stuff, so.
Adam K: Um, but, uh, yeah, I would say watch it.
Adam K: I think you might find some.
Adam K: When was the last time you watched anything I suggested?
Adam K: Never.
Adam K: Right.
Aaron: Well, yeah, but to be fair, I
Aaron: don't watch a lot of anything
Aaron: anyway.
Adam K: You have
Aaron: You
Adam K: the
Aaron: know.
Adam K: TV on all day.
Aaron: What TV?
Aaron: What are you talking about?
Adam K: You don't have a TV anymore?
Aaron: Yeah, but it's on the channel for Riggs.
Aaron: It's on
Adam K: Oh,
Aaron: the
Adam K: okay.
Aaron: nature channel.
Adam K: Okay. I thought you were always just like watching Rust Valley
Adam K: restorers or some.
Aaron: Oh, no, I, I put things on for him to watch when I go run
Aaron: around and do stuff.
Adam K: Okay.
Aaron: It's
Adam K: I thought
Aaron: to
Adam K: you were just watching reality TV all
Aaron: know
Adam K: day.
Aaron: it's my dog rotting his brain.
Aaron: But
Adam K: Gotcha.
Aaron: it's to keep his little puppy
Aaron: brain malleable and soft as
Aaron: opposed to him drooling or
Aaron: something.
Adam K: Saw a really good AI video, actually.
Adam K: Are you at a computer right now?
Aaron: I am.
Adam K: I can I can send you this.
Adam K: Um, this this actor I think is gonna completely blow away.
Adam K: Uh, what's her name?
Adam K: Tilly Norwood.
Aaron: So the AI actress?
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Yeah. So this is an AI actor.
Adam K: Big up and comer, I think.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: Hold on.
Adam K: Let me find one of my six messaging apps.
Adam K: Like, are you on discord or are
Adam K: you on signal or are you on
Adam K: messages?
Adam K: Are you
Aaron: Keep
Adam K: on Slack?
Aaron: vamping, and I'll. I'll.
Aaron: I'll stay with you.
Adam K: Yeah. So give this a watch.
Adam K: Let me know how you feel about I
Adam K: think this is like the AI actor
Adam K: I want.
Aaron: Mhm. You don't want to be hardwood you want.
Adam K: So.
Aaron: Let's see here. Opening. Uh.
Aaron: I
Adam K: It's
Aaron: know
Adam K: pretty
Aaron: why
Adam K: good.
Aaron: you've put me in this white, infinite.
Aaron: Nice Kevin Spacey.
Adam K: It's Kevin Spacey.
Adam K: I see.
Aaron: But I know what you're doing.
Aaron: Oh, I know you're using
Adam K: Workshop
Aaron: me to
Adam K: in
Aaron: demonstrate
Adam K: the name.
Aaron: to the world, man.
Aaron: AI, emotion control, guided performances.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: How do you how
Aaron: See,
Adam K: do
Aaron: this
Adam K: you feel?
Aaron: had
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: the real thing.
Aaron: This is amazing, because you could use Kevin Spacey without
Aaron: supporting Kevin Spacey.
Adam K: That was exactly what I was thinking.
Adam K: You you take the problematic out of the problem and now we.
Adam K: And you don't pay him.
Aaron: Yeah, because he's got.
Adam K: You just.
Aaron: And
Adam K: You
Aaron: he can
Adam K: steal.
Aaron: sue all he want, which
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: only gives more.
Aaron: It's like the amount he could sue would almost be a great
Aaron: marketing budget for whatever it is you put him in.
Aaron: Like
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: you just mark off like, okay,
Aaron: this is what the lawsuit will
Aaron: cost.
Aaron: And that's
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: what we would, you know, and it'll be free marketing.
Aaron: What?
Aaron: Not free marketing, but the
Aaron: money will spend will just go
Aaron: to.
Adam K: That's the marketing budget.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: It's the court case.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: And yeah, you just you have a lawyer who's
Aaron: Uh.
Adam K: brave enough to, uh, to, you
Adam K: know, fight this thing and be
Adam K: like.
Adam K: Your honor, no one can, can, or
Adam K: will cast Kevin Spacey in
Adam K: anything.
Aaron: Oh.
Adam K: So what do you think?
Adam K: And then he's like, yeah, we
Adam K: kind of, I guess you have to do
Adam K: it this way because like, people
Adam K: want that last season of House
Adam K: of cards and this is how you do
Adam K: it.
Aaron: Because when you really boil it down, what is it that people,
Aaron: people, what is it
Adam K: I
Aaron: that
Adam K: think
Aaron: Reddit
Adam K: he.
Aaron: wants?
Aaron: Reddit wants him to
Adam K: Oh.
Aaron: not ever make a living ever again, right?
Adam K: Yeah. And maybe stop killing people.
Adam K: I don't know, I guess he didn't kill anyone directly.
Aaron: What?
Aaron: Oh, someone committed suicide?
Adam K: Well, yeah.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: I don't remember who.
Aaron: What was it?
Aaron: I assume it was a boy.
Aaron: Um.
Adam K: Young boy.
Adam K: Yes.
Aaron: I don't remember.
Aaron: Anyway, it doesn't matter.
Aaron: So they basically.
Aaron: Yeah.
Aaron: They don't want him to kill people.
Aaron: They don't want him to make money.
Aaron: And if you could take out both of those things, you could,
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: you know, you'd have all anything you want.
Adam K: We we could make a an AI movie
Adam K: with nothing but problematic
Adam K: Hollywood type.
Aaron: Well,
Adam K: So
Aaron: that's
Adam K: it's like
Aaron: what I
Adam K: directed.
Aaron: was about to ask.

Aaron: Well, that's
Adam K: Um,
Aaron: what I'm saying.
Aaron: You
Adam K: yeah.
Aaron: also have to have
Adam K: But it's got
Aaron: some
Adam K: to

Adam K: be, it's
Aaron: of.
Adam K: got to be produced by Harvey Weinstein,
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: directed by Brett Ratner and Bryan Singer.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Um,
Aaron: But
Adam K: the
Aaron: you also
Adam K: guy who
Aaron: have
Adam K: did
Aaron: to kind
Adam K: powder.
Aaron: of decide who the audience is
Aaron: that that thinks that they're
Aaron: they're undesirables.
Aaron: Because like, if you set the bar at like a Reddit, I feel that
Aaron: expands your talent pool.
Aaron: But.
Adam K: I don't know what that means
Adam K: though, because Reddit's just
Adam K: bots or everything's like a
Adam K: Chinese psyop.
Aaron: Right.
Aaron: But the ten people that that comment on it and bring in the
Aaron: bots and the,
Adam K: It's
Aaron: you
Adam K: for
Aaron: know.
Adam K: you and me.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: It's for nobody.
Aaron: Okay.
Adam K: It's. It's the same with this Ken Paxton ad.
Adam K: It's like, this is for us.
Adam K: And if anyone likes it, great.
Adam K: And I mean, like, I, I my only hope with that thing is you send
Adam K: it to your, your buddy that ran for, uh, what are they?
Adam K: What do they win?
Aaron: What?
Aaron: Which buddy?
Adam K: Your
Aaron: Who?
Adam K: friend who is, uh, the non-binary
Aaron: Oh,
Adam K: Congress
Aaron: he. He's
Adam K: person,
Aaron: a council person,
Adam K: he's
Aaron: I think.
Adam K: a council person.
Adam K: Okay,
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: so he's not on a Senate seat or anything important.
Aaron: No, but that's how it starts.
Adam K: I also want to make sure I'm not.
Adam K: It's.
Adam K: Yeah.
Adam K: Okay.
Aaron: What?
Adam K: Do they have money?
Aaron: Uh, I assume not, because I know them.
Adam K: Okay. But if they can give us fifty dollars to make an ad.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: I think we can make something really cool.
Aaron: Um, I think that might have to be a deferred payment, but
Adam K: Um,
Aaron: whatever.
Adam K: what kind of gift cards do they have
Aaron: Um.
Adam K: access to?
Adam K: What's the point of working with
Adam K: a politician if they're not
Adam K: corrupt?
Aaron: Yeah, but it takes time to get to that corruption.
Aaron: He's a too low of a level to be like.
Aaron: He's too idealistic now.
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: Wait till he gets to like Talarico level, which I'm.
Aaron: I really hope Talarico wins because I want.
Aaron: Ten years from now, the Texas
Aaron: politics to sink into him to
Aaron: where everyone's like, I can't
Aaron: believe that he built that data
Aaron: center and raw sewage disposal
Aaron: facility next to the children's
Aaron: playgrounds.
Aaron: You know, and people are like,
Aaron: man, we couldn't have seen this
Aaron: and be like, no, no, no. He's
Aaron: part of an ecosystem that that
Aaron: fosters this.
Adam K: Yeah. No, I mean, people are saying things louder.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: So that means change is coming.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Oh, it's just wishful thinking on social media.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Oh, but I want to will it into existence.
Aaron: Yeah. It's
Adam K: I'm
Aaron: not
Adam K: a
Aaron: good.
Adam K: slacktivist. I'm. I'm the.
Adam K: I'm worse than a slacktivist.
Adam K: I am an armchair critic of the Slacktivist.
Aaron: I am someone who's voting,
Aaron: registration is suspended and I
Aaron: have to figure that out
Aaron: basically before the end of this
Aaron: week.
Aaron: How to
Adam K: Is
Aaron: get
Adam K: that
Aaron: it Unsuspended.
Adam K: true?
Aaron: Yeah,
Adam K: Huh?
Aaron: it's
Adam K: You have a
Aaron: almost
Adam K: film?
Aaron: like almost two million Texans.
Aaron: Well,
Adam K: Oh.
Aaron: one
Adam K: You're
Aaron: and a half
Adam K: just.
Aaron: or something like that.
Aaron: Yeah. They're voting suspended.
Aaron: I'm one of them.
Adam K: Sorry.
Adam K: I live in mini France, so
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: everything's perfect here.
Adam K: And we have air conditioning, so.
Aaron: What's great is it is it doesn't say suspended.
Aaron: When you check the stats it says suspense.
Aaron: Like will
Adam K: You're
Aaron: I
Adam K: in
Aaron: or
Adam K: suspense.
Aaron: won't I vote?
Adam K: Make politics exciting again.
Adam K: That's what I say.
Aaron: Yeah. So I gotta figure that out or
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: figure out if I have to Edgar Allan Poe it and go find someone
Aaron: and make them vote for me.
Adam K: Now you can marry your cousin.
Aaron: Oh, yeah.
Aaron: Well, do that after I drug
Aaron: someone and make them vote for
Aaron: me.
Aaron: By promising them my cask of Amontillado.
Adam K: Him in his little pumpkin head.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Yeah, that's where all the cousin lovin came from.
Adam K: It's in that big old brain of his.
Adam K: Anyway.
Aaron: Syphilis riddled brain.
Aaron: All right.
Aaron: Well,
Adam K: I had an idea
Aaron: yeah.
Adam K: that I wanted to do on the blog, but it requires hardware that I
Adam K: don't own, so
Aaron: Okay.
Adam K: that's unfortunate.
Adam K: I don't know if you saw the DLSs five stuff coming out
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: where you basically people are like, you know, AI ish neural
Adam K: network uprising, old games.
Adam K: And I was like, oh, I want to do
Adam K: this for like obscure, weird
Adam K: stuff, but then my hardware's
Adam K: too old.
Adam K: Apparently you can do it.
Adam K: But I, um,
Aaron: Smelt
Adam K: my,
Aaron: it.
Adam K: it's, uh, it's not happy with it.
Adam K: So I don't know, am
Aaron: I assume
Adam K: I
Aaron: someone's
Adam K: right?
Aaron: done it with GoldenEye, right?
Adam K: Oh, I think with everything, Um,
Adam K: but it's this weird thing where
Adam K: more, more detailed the game,
Adam K: the better.
Adam K: That makes sense.
Adam K: Like Red dead, you'll get more out of that than you would.
Adam K: Final fantasy seven on the PlayStation one.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Oh, yeah.
Aaron: Okay, that makes
Adam K: But,
Aaron: sense.
Adam K: uh, yeah, I wanted to mess with
Adam K: that, but I, I don't have a
Adam K: spare five grand that I want to
Adam K: put towards a one hardware
Adam K: component.
Adam K: Uh.
Aaron: Yeah, I'm.
Aaron: I'm holding on to my electronics.
Aaron: Like, well, like the gold.
Aaron: Um.
Adam K: Yeah. They can't.
Adam K: I mean, they have gold in them.
Adam K: So
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: yeah, I would hold on for dear life until the drones forcibly
Adam K: come and take them from you to build their mega data center.
Aaron: Yeah. I'm not looking for.
Aaron: And I gotta buy a laptop soon too.
Aaron: And
Adam K: Why
Aaron: a phone.
Adam K: don't, don't you have works that pay for that stuff?
Aaron: Well, I smashed one by
Adam K: Right.
Aaron: accident, and, uh.
Aaron: And I have to pay for this.
Aaron: I have to pay them for myself.
Aaron: So.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Have you heard of Chromebooks?
Aaron: I have
Adam K: They're
Aaron: one
Adam K: pretty
Aaron: of those
Adam K: cool.
Aaron: too.
Aaron: And it's dying because I use it in the car.
Adam K: One laptop per child that has a
Adam K: crank and you can power it
Adam K: through.
Adam K: Uh. Good, good.
Adam K: The feelings of goodwill.
Aaron: Every room has at least one laptop in my house that is in a
Aaron: very state of dying.
Aaron: And, uh, it'd be really nice to have something that works
Aaron: besides this PC, so.
Adam K: Overrated.
Adam K: Oh, you should get the frame.
Adam K: I think that's what it's called.
Adam K: Frame work.
Adam K: Frame work.
Adam K: Laptop.
Aaron: I don't know what that is, and I'm not going to look it up.
Adam K: It's like an infinitely upgradeable laptop.
Adam K: Like,
Aaron: Right.
Adam K: I'm somewhat serious.
Adam K: It's. It's a little more pricey, but the idea is like, well, if
Adam K: you need to upgrade your processor, you can do that.
Adam K: If you need upgrade the RAM, you
Adam K: do that as opposed to a laptop
Adam K: where like a Mac where it's all
Adam K: soldered on and you're like,
Adam K: well, the enter key doesn't work
Adam K: anymore.
Adam K: I think I'm just going to throw this away.
Aaron: You're just describing a laptop
Aaron: from twenty years ago is what
Aaron: you're describing.
Adam K: I mean, technology is circular.
Adam K: We're going to use pagers again.
Adam K: That's
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: what I'm saying.
Adam K: It's coming
Aaron: Well.
Adam K: back.
Adam K: Uh, anyway, I'm going to write something about Zelda.
Aaron: Okay.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: I'm going to I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Aaron: I'm gonna get back to life.
Aaron: I think
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: I, I think I had about five
Aaron: hundred grams of sugar
Aaron: yesterday.
Aaron: And so my body woke up in a shock.
Aaron: And I've just been, I've been whipsawing back and forth
Aaron: between the shakes and overstimulation and just.
Aaron: G.
Adam K: You ate five hundred grams or you drank five
Aaron: I
Adam K: hundred
Aaron: drank
Adam K: grams
Aaron: four
Adam K: of sugar?
Aaron: hundred grams.
Aaron: One hundred grams was probably in that half a pizza I ate.
Adam K: Oh yeah. Right. Yeah, I guess yeah.
Adam K: Sugar and everything.
Aaron: But.
Adam K: Anyway.
Adam K: Well, you know, stay alive if you can, and I'll send you the
Adam K: coordinates to my village so you can come visit.
Adam K: And, uh, you know, we can.
Adam K: What if we throw a ren faire there?
Aaron: That'd be awesome.
Aaron: But
Adam K: Ren.
Aaron: except it would be real.
Adam K: It'd be real.
Aaron: People
Adam K: And.
Aaron: actually jousting and killing each other every two hours in a
Aaron: in a ring.
Adam K: Just lots of shit buckets.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: A lot of a lot of.
Adam K: Just gross.
Adam K: It's.
Adam K: It's like, whenever anyone's
Adam K: like, you gotta play The
Adam K: Witcher.
Adam K: And I look at it and go, oh,
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: that looks like Croatia.
Aaron: Looks like my family.
Aaron: No, thanks.
Adam K: That looks like the country my family escaped.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Uh, and now I'm back to have Joanna Gaines and Chip Gaines
Adam K: build a mid-century cabin.
Aaron: I wish you luck.
Adam K: Thank you.
Adam K: I mean, or we do ghost hunting.
Adam K: Whatever's more profitable.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Clearly, I don't care.
Aaron: And neither do I.
Adam K: I can tell.
Aaron: All right.
Aaron: To be continued.
Aaron: I'm going to read this email we got from a new sign up that says
Aaron: it starts dear Adam Aaron too, I guess if he wants to read.
Aaron: So I guess I'll take a look at it.
Adam K: Was that a new sign?
Adam K: I thought he was just saying nice things.
Aaron: Oh, I don't know.
Aaron: I haven't looked, I haven't read it, so.
Adam K: I'm incredibly glad to see that you're back.
Adam K: Not going to dwell on the past, frankly.
Adam K: I grew up on your content.
Adam K: Shaped my teenage years.
Adam K: Yep.
Adam K: Okay.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: Good.
Adam K: Uh, and
Aaron: It's
Adam K: he's
Aaron: not
Adam K: inviting
Aaron: debt
Adam K: us
Aaron: collection.
Adam K: to his house.
Adam K: He wants us to go to his restaurant.
Adam K: That's nice.
Aaron: I work
Adam K: He'll
Aaron: in
Adam K: buy
Aaron: a.
Adam K: us a drink or dessert.
Adam K: Okay.
Aaron: That's not a name of a real restaurant.
Aaron: Let me look here.
Adam K: It might be.
Adam K: Says
Aaron: Oh.
Adam K: a lot about
Aaron: It's real.
Adam K: oh, how many stars?
Aaron: It's actually rated very well.
Adam K: Okay, well, next time you're out
Adam K: here, let's go pay the man a
Adam K: visit.
Aaron: Wait. Hold on.
Adam K: What?
Aaron: Where is this guy?
Aaron: Okay,
Adam K: Uh.
Aaron: so it's a, uh.
Aaron: It was looking at the one near my house.
Adam K: Oh,
Aaron: This
Adam K: no.
Aaron: is a different.
Aaron: This is a different.
Adam K: No,
Aaron: Okay.
Adam K: he he says where?
Adam K: He he live
Aaron: Yeah,
Adam K: in
Aaron: I'm typing
Adam K: the
Aaron: it in
Adam K: email?
Aaron: now.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: Okay, that one's rated.
Aaron: Oh, it's even higher and it looks
Adam K: Wow.
Aaron: nicer.
Adam K: Yeah. I'm gonna watch this video of a guy.
Adam K: Oh. They do?
Adam K: Looks like a live band.
Adam K: Appetizers, calamari.
Adam K: Okay.
Aaron: Last time I got recognized at a
Aaron: place, my grandma was like, do
Aaron: you think they'll take some off
Aaron: the check?
Aaron: And I was like, no.
Adam K: Now.
Aaron: What is wrong with you?
Aaron: The old bat.
Adam K: You're like, I get recognized for being on the internet, which
Adam K: is worth exactly nothing.
Adam K: Uh, I lose any sort of privacy in my life, and I gain nothing.
Aaron: Yeah,
Adam K: It's the worst of both
Aaron: I
Adam K: worlds.
Aaron: do like this line, he says.
Aaron: Like, if we came to his restaurant, he says, I promise
Aaron: not to ear fuck you.
Aaron: Like the rest of fan
Aaron: interactions you probably go
Aaron: through.
Aaron: I'm not that kind of person.
Aaron: Very nice and self-aware and sweet.
Adam K: That's brave of him to assume
Adam K: that I'm not the one doing the
Adam K: ear fucking.
Adam K: Because nine times out of ten, I won't stop talking because
Adam K: someone's nice enough to.
Adam K: Like, I ran into someone random
Adam K: at like a. I don't know what it
Adam K: was like a comic book store in
Adam K: Las Vegas.
Adam K: I was just killing some time and they were like, hey, I know you.
Adam K: I was like, hey, how's it going?
Adam K: Do you want to talk?
Adam K: And I was showing him some of
Adam K: the, like the concrete videos we
Adam K: were making.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: And then it got to the point where like, well, I gotta go.
Adam K: I'm like, where are you going?
Adam K: Where do you want to hang out?
Aaron: Hey.
Adam K: Like then they, uh, they gave me like a little, little comic book
Adam K: that I still have.
Aaron: That's nice.
Adam K: Yeah. I wonder if they stole it from the store we were in.
Aaron: Or maybe this is like a legal
Aaron: thing where he said he tells the
Aaron: judge.
Aaron: No, I said ear fuck.
Aaron: And the judge is like, well,
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: you're fucked.
Aaron: Face. Fuck!
Adam K: yeah,
Aaron: They're dead.
Aaron: So
Adam K: yeah.
Aaron: you're going to jail?
Adam K: And you created more holes
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: for them.
Adam K: Um, they're all full of spaghetti.
Adam K: Strange.
Adam K: What a strange,
Aaron: Really?
Aaron: It's. This
Adam K: huh?
Aaron: email was a warning in hindsight.
Adam K: Yeah. And these two were just so
Adam K: desperate for a. What is it, a
Adam K: cookie?
Aaron: For a tiramisu that they risked
Adam K: A cookie
Aaron: their
Adam K: and
Aaron: life.
Adam K: an appletini.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Like judges like.
Adam K: Oh, you know, I think they, you know, they deserved it.
Aaron: Yeah. This becomes a blame the victim thing,
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: just based off of our our greed for an Italian meal.
Adam K: It's it's the opposite of the, the, that big case going on
Adam K: right now where they're like, just like, I'm not going to
Adam K: explain the rules to you.
Adam K: It doesn't matter.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: This guy is not going to jail.
Adam K: He is a hero, a hero of the
Adam K: people for murdering these two
Adam K: nobodies.
Adam K: Here we go.
Adam K: Thank you, Your Honor.
Adam K: From like hell
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: where we're
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: watching.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Uh. Anyway.
Aaron: All right, well, fare thee well.
Aaron: I'll talk
Adam K: Fare
Aaron: to you
Adam K: thee
Aaron: soon.
Adam K: well.
Adam K: Okay. That was a good, uh, creative sesh.
Aaron: There's things to discuss in real meetings.
Adam K: Well, hit me up whenever you're free.
Aaron: Okay.
Adam K: Talk to you later.
Aaron: Bye.
Adam K: Bye.
