The HOA coming in for a vote. How do you
get them to say yes to those flock
cameras? I'm glad you asked, Brian.
We move in flocks. Yes. Like birds.
>> Yes. Mhm. Like birds. We were in a bird
in a lake. A swan. Yes. Sorry. I thought
you meant like metaphorically. Also
literally.
>> We were literally
>> Earth is a bird.
>> And love is a battlefield.
>> Yes. That's right.
>> But how do we get more flock cameras?
>> Uh well, you might you got to go down to
the uh local five and dime and you say,
"Flock me up, good sir."
>> Yeah.
>> And they'll uh they'll do a little
barberh shop quartet, hook you up with a
couple flocks. You stick those in the
poles. And here's the greatest thing
about it.
>> When you do it Mhm. everyone's going to
thank you.
>> Oh yeah.
>> Are you kidding me? walking down the
street, they're going to say everybody's
they're they're all like, "I feel safer
already."
>> Yeah. Yeah. They're going to say, "Put a
lock on this flock.
>> This flock is a lot.
>> This flock is a lot
>> now. Suck
on a popsicle."
>> Yeah.
>> A pudding pop. You know what? Let's get
Bill Cosby. Bill Cosby. We can get him
up, too.
>> We can get him cheap to be a spokesman
for Flock.
>> Mhm. this. Oh, don't sleep on it. Okay,
you know what? I know in general
everyone knows AI is bad, but if there's
one use of AI that I would condone,
>> I would be so pumped that we brought up
Cosby.
>> Like, no, no, no, no.
>> Stay on him.
>> So, use AI to make a promo for Bill
Cosby endorsing Flock. Yeah,
>> that's what we need. Remember that one
week that Sorro weekend? God, what a
time.
>> What a time. Mario like karate chopping
Bill Coffee cursing in Japanese.
>> Everyone on Price is Right. I'll always
remember
>> on Price. Nobody has done it
as good as that.
>> Yeah.
>> And the vaudeville comedy chop pacings
of Soros were so good. The the Bop bop
peppy dialogue. Give it
>> the Bob Barker. The riffing on the Bob
Barker. Hear me now. Jamaican Bob
Barker.
>> Smoking crack burned into my mind. Bob
Barker. Smoking crack. That was so good.
>> Oh, John Brand.
>> Shout out to Bob Barker by the way.
>> Uh John Brand
>> and Crack. Shout out to Crack.
>> Been around since the 80s. Still a
classic.
>> Crack. Still still rock hard after all
these years.
>> Still rocking. No se no sealis here. Uh
uh John Brand wants to know if office
hours has gone extinct. No, just I'm
busy. I got to make money. Speaking of
which, this Saturday, why don't you why
don't you come to the ticketed event
where we're doing an underground
uh super secret uh productivity fight
club. I cracked it
>> like the 80s.
>> Uh yes.
>> Yeah.
>> Crushing it on all fronts. Uh,
productivity.
>> The productivity hack.
>> Productivity hack.
>> The hack is crack.
>> It's not whack. It's back.
Uh, no. It's uh uh what made magic clubs
work.
>> Yeah.
>> Is that everybody secretly didn't know
[ __ ] about magic, but they could go to
this place. Yes. and then speak openly
with the thin veneer of, you know, you
paid your all you could eat cafeteria
buffet. You can finally talk openly.
That's what we're doing. All your best
hacks, all your best methods, whatever
your best prompts is. You're you're
putting things in order. Everyone shows
up with their one routine, their one
best trick or whatever. And we all plus
it up cuz I'm convinced that the one
thing nobody wants to do is look like an
idiot by explaining how they did a
thing. cuz I've already seen the
cowardice in the magic community. I've
seen the cowardice in the magic
community and I see the same information
inefficiency. I'm just skipping 10 years
of saying this all looks really dumb and
I'm skipping to the Prometheium moment
where I take the good good [ __ ] Brian,
that's great. Where do I go?
Fight.scamstuff.com.
Get your ticket right now and I'll see
you 11 a.m. on Saturday
in St. No, it's not extinct.
I I I just got to I I can't justify
going live for $0 until I can pay the
rent. Then I'll justify going live
infinitely.
>> Hold on. As Brian's lawyer, let me say
uh uh
uh
office hours means a lot to Brian.
>> Yes. and he does not want to give you
less than what you deserve.
So,
he will almost assuredly be back with
office hours at some point.
>> Yes,
>> it will be less often than it used to be
when it used to be every single day,
>> 237 days in a row. Uh but the idea of
live streaming with uh the community is
something that is still very much
obviously a part of things and morning
versions morning solo versions of that
for Brian will be back. Uh but there's a
lot going on.
>> Yeah.
>> And sometimes you know
>> well and keep in mind
>> the the reason I did 200 plus days in a
row was to start off bad and get good.
It's [ __ ] it's [ __ ] good enough that
somebody's complaining that it left.
>> Yeah. Which means which means which
means great which means I just want so
some people will notice like I've been
given man even look at this like this
shot looks great and soon the layout
will look great. I did
>> nice haircut looks great.
>> I liked it. Yeah.
>> Yeah. The secret is crack.
>> The haircut.
>> Great. Yeah, she's cracked. She was
smoking up.
>> Yeah. Yeah. A little rock. A little
rocket talk.
>> Yeah. Mind if I rock it?
>> Rocket talk. More flock. That's how you
get That's how you get past the HOA.
>> Howdy. You waft a little crack smoke
their way.
>> That's right. Then suddenly ideas sound
really really good.
>> Blow crack in her face and she'll follow
you anyway.
>> Yeah, that's that's an old They thought
it was an old wives tale, but no. Turns
out there's a scientific underpinning.
It's the crack.
>> It's the crack.
>> We go now to Bill Cosby. The thing is
with the flux.
>> All right. I feel like we're ready to
start a show.
>> Yeah. the show.
>> If this is your first time, heads up.
We're a comedy podcast. Justin, I
realized today is my oldest, longest
co-host.
>> Mhm.
>> Tom Merritt, second or third place. I
haven't figured out whether or not Maine
>> technically would be
Maine probably is technically
>> but strangely I the first year
>> but by tonnage
>> it's me then Tom
>> yes
>> by a long shot
>> by time and by volume
>> and by weight gravitas
>> he's a little heavier than probably now
he's definitely heavier than me he's
taller
>> he's the oldest oldest
Oh, Dylan Thomas or Dylan Theas. The
show is great now. We've upgraded from
good. That's that's the flock talk.
According to the lip reading on the
flock cameras, that's what people say.
>> Go watch that video. Did anybody watch
that video?
>> You know, I I I realized what like I was
just going on gut instinct. I knew vibes
I liked. But man, that visual where it
pulls out, I I didn't realize until
after we pushed it that like if mobsters
wanted to have a private conversation,
they would go in a boat out on a lake
where definitely there's no microphones
around. wasn't your you you it's funny I
was assuming that that was a brilliant
thing from you because a I know that you
have a
weird I'm going to say weird weird
prediliction for the swan boats.
>> Yeah,
>> you like the swan boats. You talk about
the swan boats. if you're downtown, you
will randomly mention we should go in a
swanboat like uh but also
>> that what you just said. I was like,
"Oh, Brian put it together." I almost
thought that was like the reason why you
were doing the video to begin with, but
you hadn't thought of the mobster thing.
>> No. Well, and it's funny how things
transformed because originally all I
wanted to do was Astra's neat and I I
bet it can do the how 9000 and then and
then that became no butt, no butt, no
butt. And it just went through the
refining and then eventually we got to
like the footage was great. It was
golden hour.
>> Yeah. Let's let's let's start the show.
Let's do it.
It's Tuesday night, beautiful people.
Hello. I'm Brian Brushwood, joined as
always by the inimitable Justin Robert
Young. Do you think anybody still thinks
we're doing flock talk?
>> Also, here's how you you got to get to
the HOA. You got You just got to say
just say crime. Are you scared of crime?
>> Yeah.
>> Promise them everything and then say,
"Give me your wallet."
>> You're like, "Just kidding." But I could
have been a real crime man.
>> If I was, I would be driving away. And
if I drove away, how would you know
where I went? Enter flocks
in
like Kool-Aid man,
>> but it's kind of thick because it's just
a pole.
>> DRIVE YOUR CAR DOWN THE street and flash
your plates. Everything is safe.
>> Fireworks. Uh, take your pictures. Don't
worry. There's no video. Everything's in
this place.
>> Hey guys. open.
Uh uh Bill Cosby is coming at night. Oh
man, I lost. With the flock camera,
we'll know where he drives to.
>> Yep. We'll find him and we'll catch him.
>> I'm glad you said catch. There is a
there's there's an old um Saturday Night
Live sketch and for whatever reason I
believe it was when Roseanne Bar was
hosting, but it was a parody of a
commercial of a credit card and it was
like a couple saying, "Oh, like we had
our credit card stolen when we were
abroad." And then like the bit is that
the credit card company ruthlessly hunts
down the people that steal your credit
card. And so it's like it keeps cutting
to the testimonials of the people that
are working at the credit card and it's
like we hunted them down like dogs and
then like cuts to another person filthy
dirty dogs.
>> But that's whenever I think about
chasing people down I just think about
the cutaway to whomever it was Janine
Garop saying filthy dirty dogs.
>> That explains why I didn't. That would
have been during college time which
would have been a black hole.
>> Josie's going through that now. She's
mad at us for watching shows without
her. But then, you know, guess what?
She's at college. Yeah. You're not
supposed to be watching shows. That's
only in the morning.
>> Yeah. She'd be
>> making breakfast.
>> Making breakfast.
>> Yeah. Oh, Penny had never seen the
Mobile, Alabama leprechaun before.
>> Wow.
>> What do you What do you think the part
that got her to laugh was?
>> The leprechaun sketch.
>> Uh yeah, the the amateur sketch. Yeah.
Yeah. that that's when it all clicked.
>> I mean, at that point, it's like, is
this comedy? Like, cuz there's an
element
>> of the
I would refer to as
candid black people.
>> There was a lot of candid black people
doing things.
>> This is pre sensitivity
like like from the newsroom's
perspective. uh uh uh candid black
people were being candid black people
and they were like, "Well, it's our
responsibility."
>> From the newsroom's perspective, the
Montgomery, Alabama news, that's 90% of
their content is is candid black people.
And sometimes they're funny, sometimes
they're not funny, blah blah blah. In
the same way that everybody who's
covering everybody, but you're if you're
covering a a majority black town, then
you're going to have whatever that is.
uh that became in the dawning age of
video in the as a thing that just went
viral was like wacky that's whistles go
woo that's the Alabama leprechaun right
that just candid black people doing that
thing but what takes the Alabama
leprechaun thing to the next level where
you're like
>> is this not really a is this a Saturday
Night Live sketch is that yeah
>> thing but then it doesn't go back to
that level of obvious joke,
>> right?
>> Until you get to the leprechaun flute
like
>> Well, but even then at that point it's
not clear like are they all in on it? Am
I the sucker here? Like it it's really
great. The the pacing of it is
phenomenal and it's that exact fusion of
the seriousness and the polish with the
>> Have you done a viral video museum?
Well, you know, that's what uh I'm
trying to get Alli Spola to
>> make her thing,
>> make her life. It's like we need a
Ripley's, believe it or not, for viral
[ __ ]
>> Cuz you could do like a popup
>> probably
and like put people like
>> you you could you could put um chocolate
rain in a glass case and he could just
be chocolate raining all the time.
>> Well, no. You'd want the Instagram
museum thing so you would be able to
stand in the thing and take the picture.
>> Oh, I mean actually hire ta day to just
sit there just all day every like David
Blaine constantly moving his mouth to
breathe in away from the mic.
>> I think that would do well.
Smithsonian
stop gathering [ __ ] arrow heads and
[ __ ]
>> Yeah, boring. Do the real archaeology.
The real anthropology's
white shirt.
>> Yeah.
>> Where's that?
>> How about a Planet Hollywood?
>> Enough. We've seen enough of Led
Zeppelin man's glove or whatever the
[ __ ] you have.
>> Yep. Led Zeppelin man's glove is what it
says.
>> This is the glove. Remember it from the
thing?
>> Yeah.
>> Get out of here. Who gives a [ __ ]
>> It's like it was on a flock once.
>> I want the annoying orange. Yeah, that's
what I want.
>> Whatever happened, you remember when
Fred was the biggest thing on the
planet?
>> He didn't really translate
>> to what?
>> To mega riches.
>> Like cuz like you look now at having a
2-year-old like uh Miss Rachel
>> big deal.
>> Everywhere. Yeah. Like she has a brand.
>> You know what she cracked? Unlike the
annoying orange, she's not annoying.
>> No.
>> Unlike everyone else, she's not
annoying. Which means if you win the
parents
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. might you you win the living room.
>> Now, she might recruit my daughter into
Hezbollah, but like other than that,
she'll also teach her how to read.
>> Yeah. Yeah. She'll also teach her how to
read. Um
but like the the IP level of Miss Rachel
to a 2-year-old is like she's dragging
Sesame Street along.
>> Yeah.
>> Like she is a bigger IP to Bella than
Sesame Street is. Like Sesame Street is
atomized into like it's Elmo,
it's maybe Cookie Monster. Did I tell
you that
>> Bella saw a Miss Rachel video about
brushing your teeth where Cookie Monster
eats the toothbrush?
>> Permanently scarred Bella.
>> Oh, she didn't like that at all.
>> It is. It happened on 9/11 and it is her
911.
>> All right.
>> She just will randomly bring up like
Cookie Monster ate the toothbrush. like
she is scarred by Cookie Monster eating
the toothbrush. Anyway, uh uh but that's
all Miss Rachel. Like she knows those
characters because they are in Miss
Rachel videos.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh Fred not so much. Fred Fred I think
maybe got like a Nickelodeon movie.
>> Oh pretty much that was pretty much a
wrap.
>> Yeah.
>> His star faded just as cable was dying
and that was that.
>> Yeah.
>> You know the Video Music Awards are on
CBS now. What? Uh, well, I mean, video
music.
>> It's not like MTV was showing music
videos anyway.
>> Exactly. Right. So, it's basically just
them being like, "Let's just do the
Grammys again. Here's another thing
where people perform live."
>> Yeah. I'm I'm for all of those. I don't
care how ridiculous the award show is. I
I And we've talked about this. I
increasingly don't care what our shared
reality is, how preposterous it is, how
wrong it is, just as long as we all have
the same one. That's that's where I'm
at. And all of these live events,
literally anything live. I'm so thankful
that my whole family knows that one of
the Paul brothers, I've already
forgotten which one, fought Mike Tyson.
Like, that's that's a fact that is in
all of our heads. Jake. Jake. Yeah. Not
the one that follows me. Yeah.
>> Yeah.
They're both They were at the Pentagon.
>> Oh. Well, were they were they punching
some terrorists? No. Although people
were like like, "Oh, this is like
idiocracy and it's ridiculous and like
with with all sincerity, it is insane to
see Logan Paul and Jake Paul, especially
because Logan Paul is now like a WWE
guy." Yeah. So he like he's all pro-
wrestling bad guy out at all times cuz
he's living the gimmick and his brother
is, you know, two essentially.
>> That's a that's a that's you want to
talk about an organism that found its
home. That's that's where where it's
like, you know, where you belong to be.
>> Uh
>> but he uh so they're there and they look
ridiculous and they're behind the podium
of, you know, the the press area for the
Pentagon.
But at the same time, for everybody's
smug about it,
you are aware of who we recruit to the
military, right? Because there are
people that really like the Paul
brothers.
>> Yeah. Look, uh, kids, have you tried
trolling and it's not doing it for you
anymore? What if we put a weapon in your
hands? It's like trolling to the
extreme. There should be a word for it.
There's a demo.
It's 18year-old to 22 year old kids
whose life maybe didn't turn out exactly
the way they wanted it to. Uh and they
want a little structure and they're like
I don't know can I watch Paul brothers
videos in the military and they're like
sure can
>> yes you can
>> shave your head send you to basic.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh but yeah so I thought that made that
made sense. The rest of the world though
geez what's going on? I don't know.
Nobody knows.
>> Somebody find the manual.
>> Turn it off and turn it on again.
>> So, uh, hey man, good video. That was a
good episode.
>> Hey, we made a video.
>> That's good audio.
>> We're vlogging it. Um,
what's the reaction? Have you gotten We
got covered by Yahoo. Yeah. Well, so
that that was so okay, here's a real we
we've talked uh in you know some of the
our later evening talks about how just
like uh the nature of like what is true
is is changing and and you know we don't
search for things and read articles, we
have robots who read all of the articles
and and decide if a thing is true or
untrue based on the number of citations
essentially for whether it's true. So,
uh, before our video released, I asked
the question, uh, uh, can flock cameras
read lips? And the answer was, uh, no.
Why would they? No. No. And then, and
then video came out. And so I asked the
same question. Does, do they read lips?
And the answer was no. And I said, is
there a video about it? And this is
incognito mode on Google. Yeah.
>> And Gemini was like, you know what? I
have to correct myself. there's a video
from some place called the modern rogue
that says that they were able to do it.
And then I was like, "Okay, that's
interesting." Uh, and so then again, two
days later because I want to see like
does that new true fact has it has it
permeated the membrane yet? Right? So
again, except this time it still said
no, they can't. But in the citations
there were two things. There was the
Monroe video and the headline from Yahoo
News. And I clicked through
>> and I was like,
>> "That's how you found it?"
>> Yeah.
>> That's amazing. Wow.
>> Yeah. And so now we'll uh And so now
it'll give kind of a throat clearing
like, "Okay, well, you may be hearing
about people. Let's explain what they
did in the video. They turned the AI
turned into Tom Merritt where it says
>> yes, in so far as any video as long as
you use an external thing." In fact,
these guys did that.
>> Yeah. AI AI be doing that.
>> Yeah. AI be saying
>> better about citations these days
>> had it not been
>> when it was hallucinating facts left and
right.
>> Yeah.
>> Now now it pushes back and it's like
well that's technically not true. Now
you got to bully it and do like we're
doing a bit. Oh okay. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Uh
yeah. No it was it's great. It's great
to see the reaction too. People
obviously terrified about the idea that
a robot can read its lips, especially
robots that are posted all over the
street corners, but
I think it is safe to say that like
we're using flock as a way to get to a
larger conversation,
>> right? Right.
>> The the experiment that we do is
probably better labeled now that you've
seen the episode as like, hey, here are
things that you could do if you wanted
to do it. Like these this is off the
rack.
>> Think about every sports argument. What
is it? John Boy does the lip reading
stuff.
>> I don't know. Yeah, probably
>> for sports arguments or whatever.
>> Yeah.
>> But now like all that gets more
interesting.
>> Sure. I mean, there are people who do
that like professionally, but if you,
you know, I'm sure they're in high
demand. They probably cost a lot of
money. This costs a lot less than that.
>> Oh, uh, there may be somebody in the
comments pointed out that there's a
navigation app that you just tell it
where you want to go and it'll just
automatically route you to where you
never get seen by a flock camera.
>> And I was thinking like, well, that
could be an episode. We could have a
race and see how much longer it takes
and whether or not it even works
>> to not get flocked.
>> Yeah.
>> Might be what I do tomorrow afternoon
just because here's the thing. I was so
excited about this episode. I pushed it
without the sponsor and I hope they're
not. And so now they're all like, "So
when's the sponsored episode?" It was
like 48 hours. I'll have a rough cut for
you.
And then we started this stream.
It's gonna be great. It's brought to you
by Bowling Balls.
>> Crack
with crack.
>> Have you ever said to yourself, "I'd
love a lot of crack, but I'd also like
to hit the lanes. Well, have I got the
subscription service for you. Bowling
balls full of crack?"
>> Now, you might be saying, "Crack's
illegal." Remember that time that weed
was weirdly legal in gas stations?
Buy bowling balls for crack. Yep.
>> Bowling balls for crack. They've all
signed the pledge. You have your bowling
ball pledge. That's done now, right? In
Texas, the like random time that weed
was just available.
>> Well, not only that, it's swung so far.
No, with like no age restrictions. It
was just like
just Yeah. Weeds here.
>> Well, well, and is if if if you're if
you're uh I don't know uh from another
planet, uh basically weeds illegal, but
then they made like a slight variation
of THC delta 8, right? And then that was
fine.
>> If you squint while you pick the
marijuana, it's technically called
squint leaves.
>> Yes. Exactly.
>> Leaves are fully legal.
>> But then, but the problem with that was
it was such a clever hack that they
managed to piss off two of the most
important lobbies in the weed space.
Number one, they pissed off the alcohol
industry. Number two, they pissed off
the weed industry. And it turns out if
there's one thing weed and booze can
agree on, it's that they would like to
be the cartel.
>> Yeah. Well, you have to understand in
Texas
there's the veneer of uh you know social
conservatism that binds everybody. There
are laws that we stick to. The reality
of the state legislature is um you know
a little bit more paytoplay let's say
theoretically reportedly uh if your last
name is Paxton.
>> Yeah. Well, I mean, he's another animal,
but like uh in general,
the lobbies that pay the most money get
what they want.
>> Mhm.
>> And so there was a
weed lobby for legal weed. And there is
medicinal weed. Yeah.
>> In Texas, it sucks and it's nobody uses
it. Have you seen that that that
billboard that makes the flex where it's
they they put on there the like, you
know, license weed or whatever and it
says Texas weed license O003
and it's like [ __ ] 10 out of 10.
That's great.
>> Yeah. And so like they were like like
wait a minute, we're paying for the
ability to bribe you later to be the
people that own this industry. Why do
all these Johnny come latelys get to
just run in here with absolutely no
payment to the bribe masters? We get to
do that. And then alcohol was like, wait
a minute, we're seeing a softening.
>> Mhm.
>> People are buying random ass weed with
no test that there was the fact that
like it was random ass weed with like no
testing infrastructure and no state
>> and and also like there's selling like
oh I'm giving up alcohol. Let me have a
weed beer. Uh what? 10 million years
later when you drink 10 milligrams or
whatever that was. Yeah, dude. Those
were what a great time. What? Yeah. Weed
tall boys.
>> Bonkers.
>> Bonkers era. Anyway, it's done now. And
uh the history is the past and the
future is the present.
>> Speaking of Texas legislature,
>> what a
Sorry, this is our new segment.
>> Texas Legislature Corner Hour.
>> Yep.
>> What? What?
>> What's up with the poly markets in Taler
Rico?
>> How How is that a real thing? I talked
about this on the PX3 episode out now.
Um,
so
here's the thing.
There is a poisoned environment
right now
that
is tilted more toward
Democrats
>> in general, right? So like before we get
into Texas be like and Kansas be like
and Idaho and Ohio and Alaska and Maine
and blah blah blah blah before we get
into all that
>> like let's just understand that there is
a national floor that tilts one way or
another right
>> so there is a growing argument and I
don't know how much to believe it
because I tend to be a fundamentals man
myself and that usually things are not
that different than things that have
happened for
that
the environment is tilted way more to
Democrats because the war in Iran's
unpopular, gas is expensive, diesel's
expensive, inflation is not totally gone
down or reversed. Uh, plus Democrats are
Democrats who would normally be against
Trump are like very excited to vote and
you know Republicans are divided on the
war and whether or not so so we're back
to
the energizing of the base like one is
>> midterms are all energizing of the base
right but if the floor is just tilted
one way crazy
then that means like a lot of nutty
things are possible up to and including
Taller Rico winning in Texas. What you
have to remember about the markets cuz
like today also like Elsa in Michigan
like shot up to like 90%.
All that means is that a whale came in
and put a gigantic bet down,
>> right?
>> Like this is a live market where you are
essentially constantly betting against
other people in that market. So every
time somebody bets, it moves the line
proportionally that direction in a way
that's very different than if you were
to bet on a sporting event where like
the casino would have to see a lot of
money to the point where their balance
would be unbalanced that they're going
to move the line to start getting action
on the other side.
>> Yeah.
>> With a with Poly Market and Kelshi, that
line moves automatically. So, it's not
like somebody looked at all the
information and said, "Oh, I got them."
>> That's the difference between a casino
sets the line and then looks at the
amount of money they got in one bucket
on the left and one bucket on the right
and they they hope that they set the
line right and the buckets fill up
evenly. But whereas a market is is just
up totheminute economic pressure.
>> That's it. Like if there's somebody who
says I can't buy enough shares of
Telerico and people are like will you
pay 51 $51? Yes. Will you pay 52? Yes.
Will you pay 55? Yes.
>> So there's there's a term of uh art in
the communities that use those platforms
where they joke like, "Oh, they're
giving away dollars for 55 cents."
>> Right?
>> So it's like that's what they're looking
at. They're like like whoa. Like I
believe that tal that this is going to
be a wipeout that Democrats going to
take the Senate. So I'm going to put
$100,000 on Taler Rico. I'm going to put
$100,000 on Als. And they're giving me
that back plus 50%.
Because it is as low as it is. And they
believe that that number is going to go
higher. Yeah. Especially when big money
people start flopping
kazash
>> kazash
>> on the digital tisable
>> kazash.
>> Yeah cuz kuzah lime wire. Welcome free
association. We'll get there. We'll get
there. Napster
e donkey. Oh,
so somebody sent me an invite to
Instinct,
which appears to be
what you've been wishing for.
Did Did that sentence make sense?
Did I send it to you?
>> No. Okay. Somebody
>> I was talking to you about it.
>> Yes. Yes.
>> Yes.
>> And then you got it from somebody else.
>> Yes. Okay.
>> No, you talked about it on weird things.
Got it. Got it. Got it. Okay. Well, it's
blowing up, right? As you know, but
they're doing the the trusted friend
thing. And I was wondering if like
>> blessing.
>> So, hippie hippie high talk.
>> Should we explain instinct before we get
into Yeah, you you've used it.
>> Hippie uh uh hippie time for friends. Uh
so, Instinct is a digital assistant.
It's an AI product.
magic if you're gonna be mad about it.
Uh
that's like a digital assistant. So you
are you just text it. It's Bluebubble
iOS thing which is a a fussy point of uh
contention with a lot of different kinds
of things. But uh it'll send you a
reminder for your schedule. You can hook
it up to your email. It'll proactively
be checking your email. It will come to
you with certain things. But like for
example,
we got a wedding with a mutual friend
later in October
and I didn't remember whether or not I
had booked my flights. So I texted my
instinct and I said, "Hey, have I booked
my flights to this?" And it was like,
"No." But he ordered flights and blah
blah blah. So it went and searched the
flights and then I was like, "Oh, what
are the hotels they're recommending?" It
brought up the hotels. It gave me a link
and then it made a page with our
itinerary on it. So, it's like that's
what Instinct is. It also does a bunch
of other stuff.
>> Uh but I don't know whether or not it's
an Iranian um data harvesting operation.
So, like right now it has access to uh
email inbox. Well, and that is even then
like the email like to be honest, the
only reason I I haven't jumped on it
right away is because I'm pretty sure
that there are exact analoges of
whatever it is waiting in the wings with
with anthropic or open AI and they're
going to drop it at any minute. And so
it's like well like I don't I don't want
to go out give all make data to do a
thing and then and then just find out
that it could do it over here.
Yeah, I'd say just do it. Yeah.
>> I mean, like we give access to our email
to a lot of different [ __ ] like in
general. It's like if you look at all
the things that if you go to Google and
you're like how many things have I given
my Google
>> Well, what and I was real nervous to
link to the finances to the credit cards
or whatever. And then when you do it,
what you realize is like, okay, the
thing you're most terrified is that your
information is out there for sale to the
higher highest bidder. Do you know what
Chase credit card company does? Your
worst nightmare is literally their
business model and has been the entire
time. The only thing that's different is
now you're seeing it.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh so yeah, I would say for like a
personal assistant thing, the biggest
thing that Instinct does really well is
just live in text messages,
>> right?
>> Uh and just act like a ghost build
>> things. That was like kind of the the
fun of OpenClaw uh or Claudebot when it
first started
was the idea that you were just texting
with something and then it was doing
stuff on your computer. It was doing
stuff online. It had full access to all
your [ __ ] It was a security nightmare,
but it was fun. It felt like the future
and you're seeing a lot of stuff that's
going in that direction.
But my suspicion is that a Anthropic
probably doesn't want to do that because
like consumer is not their number one
thing. And
for Open AI, they're in a [ __ ] death
lawsuit with Apple. So Apple's not going
to do them any favors when it comes to
doing blue uh
>> I didn't even think about that
>> blue bubble
>> uh stuff like that. I don't know how
Instinct's doing it. It's not strictly
speaking legal how to do it. Like, yeah.
>> Uh, so they might get shut down at any
moment.
My suspicion is that OpenAI is going to
have to either build or buy a
best-in-class
messaging service or spin up very easy
phone numbers that you could just get
and put you could just text a phone
number like and then it would just go to
you know their servers. But even then
that would be GreenBubble, that'd be
RCS.
>> Yeah.
>> And it's like gross.
R RCS roll roll roll roll roll roll roll
roll roll roll roll roll roll roll roll
roll roll roll roll roll roll roll the d
d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d
d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d
dice. So it's like RCS is all I can
picture are the three dots coming and
going just forever and ever and ever.
Oh, what what am I?
>> No,
>> getting a halfp price oil job. Like
what's happening in a green bubble?
>> Oh no, you're you're going to upset the
people. The meany greenies. They're a
gang.
>> The trees.
>> Yes. They're going to start snapping
their leaves. the [ __ ] ants from Lord
of the Rings.
>> Oh, wouldn't that be great? Okay, the
Jets versus Sharks and the Ants versus
the Sharks.
>> Ant
all the way.
Which ones were the Puerto Ricans? Uh,
orcs.
The ants and the orcs. That's what they
were.
Meat's back on the menu.
Sawdust's back on the menu.
We got to sharpen the saw. I'm not going
to try to do a Puerto Rican accent.
>> But if you were, it might go a little
something like this.
>> Hey, pal. I'm a Puerto Rican. You see?
>> Wait,
man.
>> What's going on with the telephone
poles?
You're trying to tell me that these
poles take pictures of our license
plates.
>> All right. I thought they were birds.
>> Uh, so wait, so have you [ __ ] with
Instinct?
>> No.
>> Do you want to become my trusted friend?
>> I do. Should we do it live on the air
and get a tattoo?
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, yeah. No. Yeah. Because I if I Well,
now I'm going to discuss how I would log
in and that's not safe. Nothing is safe
anymore, Justin. Nothing's safe.
>> Oh [ __ ]
>> Oh no.
>> No. I got to Sorry, I just looked.
Literally, Patreon just emailed me and
they're like, "By the way, we're really
[ __ ] your whole [ __ ] up on November
1st." Yeah. They're all like, "If you're
not gonna be around anymore, I guess
we'll just burn all your pictures."
>> Dude, I got I got a whole bunch of the
the Weird Things episodes all done right
in the Patreon. And then now I'm going
to get the the audio quality improved.
Everything's Everything's gonna happen.
We're going to talk and just back to
back to the galaxy brain [ __ ] [ __ ]
telepathy is going to be real. So, right
now, uh, five years ago, I was big on
all social media platforms are in it for
their own [ __ ] They're all
algorithmically shaping your stuff.
Yeah. The closest thing to a fair shake
is email, but now even that's, you know,
the email's real noisy these days, and I
see the open rates,
>> right? Uh, and uh, the so I suspect that
the trusted friend thing is going to be
like that'll be the new email list like
hey out there if you value
>> I'm my trusted friend on an agentic
personal assistant.
>> Yep.
>> I'll tell you what I'm So
>> I can probably say this. So when we were
shooting a open AAI podcast episode,
there was a service that they used to
have called Pulse
>> and it was only for the highest level
things, but
>> it basically
>> is Pulse not around anymore?
>> No, they sunset it. Uh, it looked at
everything that you did and then it
would give you like five things in the
morning that were either followons to
stuff that you had done before uh, or
stories that you were obviously
interested in. And they wound up
sunsetting it for I don't know. I'm sure
you can look up their blog post on it
and and they'll tell you, but I
initially was so into it. Me and Maine
were so into it and we're like I'm like
this is the future of publishing.
Like you've recreated
the front page of Reddit, but it's for
me. You've recreated the front page of
the newspaper if you're ancient like me.
Like you've recreated something that's
like
>> precious. Something that like actually
really [ __ ] matters. Well, and not
for nothing, what one of I hope I'm not
outing you here. Like one of the things
that you put on your radar for Pulse was
just whatever stories hit me with once a
day. Hit me with a wild pitch for
something that might be a world's
greatest content.
>> We're working on a world's greatest
content episode right now that Pulse
brought me.
>> Yeah. Like I didn't know about it for
for my money looking around to it like
nobody knew about it and and well it is
known but it's an older story. And then
when I read it, I came to another uh
thought and brought it and brought it to
Brian and
>> now it's gone. Really it's gonna be a
banger.
>> It's gonna be an amazing episode. But
that was not like the hardest thing
about World's Greatest Con is finding
good stories because we've set a
standard.
the the name of the show promises
the best stories,
>> right, of whatever the category is. Like
like when we're trying to decide like
every episode will be the best, but we
have to fine-tune what the what the
empty what what the radio station is.
>> Yeah. So it's like we need you know
there are certain it it's it's one of
the things that it's actually like a
compliment whenever people like bring us
big stories where it's like oh world's
greatest con it's like what should we do
an episode on it's like crypto Trump
like all these things that are big
but it's a compliment because it is not
they don't know what the secret the 11
herbs and spices are,
>> but they know that one of them is that
it's big, right? Yeah. Where it's like
the reality, opening the kimono a little
bit, is like there's a protagonist,
there's a struggle, there's a moral
conflict, there is there's a surprising
perspective that we're sympathetic to.
>> Exactly. Like there's all these elements
to it. And I told all that to Pulse and
then Pulse was like
the last few episodes were all Pulse
finds, which reminds me, I need to
figure out how to get new ideas because
we're at the end of the we're at the end
of the hopper uh that that that we had
built up.
>> Well, and that's one of those things,
the fact that you can now program your
own information diet. It it busts us out
of that bubbling jail that I've been so
concerned about for for years. But and
this is where I came back to like the
future of publishing is like but we
still want to connect. We still want to
do a thing. So it's like
but maybe this is a product. I don't
know. Maybe I should just build it. But
like uh
there being a
way to just plug in the new version of
RSS
like I want to know when you do a thing,
right? I want something that was the
promise of Facebook. I mean, do do you
know what it is? It's I think it's
literally your web page. I think it's
like
>> my web zone. You you have your web zone
and you're like we'll all learn some
phrase that we say where it's like tell
your robot to check in on the
scamocalypse.com
or or I won't even say.com. It'll be
everybody will be making up their own
brandable chunks, their unique words.
We'll spread our cheeks and show a QR
code that has been uh implanted into our
butthole.
>> Yes. The mark of the beats.
>> Drop a beat.
>> I hope that in audio you saw the regret
that Brian had on his
>> Well, cuz I know
I just turned on my blinker. The exit's
labeled Brian has to rap and I'm like,
"Nope.
I was like, what was I thinking? It's
way too late in the day for that.
UNLESS IT'S NOT.
>> Ladies and gentlemen, Bill Cosby for
flocks security cameras.
>> They didn't see me because there's no
flocks around when I was
that Spanish fly.
I gave the bird the roof and fell out of
his nest.
The only lip reader knives are the [ __ ]
lips. Jesus Christ.
It's coming.
>> Bill Cosby, why? That was inappropriate.
>> Bill,
you're not America's dad. What was that?
>> I know.
>> Uh,
[ __ ] lips, huh?
Yeah. Yeah. All right, let me copy this
text and see what Che just sent us. I
think uh Oh, you know what?
Whenever Cheich sends something, I
always put it on screen. It's probably a
great thing to put on there. Ryan.
Yeah.
>> Yeah.
Sweeper creeper.
I should bring back the mustache. I
don't know. Yeah, that's pretty good.
mustache is a good look.
Double down on regret.
Oh man.
What um
what's uh what's what's happening in the
world? You think do you think most
people are right now? Okay. Snapshot
right now.
>> Most people awake or asleep right now?
asleep.
>> Is it sleepy time for China?
>> Yeah,
>> China and India. That's that's your big
uh
>> Oh, holy [ __ ] I found out something
today that blew my mind.
>> Uh-huh.
>> Uh
you remember Battlestar Galactica, the
original?
>> Sure. Yeah.
>> Do you remember that there was a bear
robot thing?
>> No.
>> Okay. There was a kid named Boxy.
>> Okay. Okay. Whose dog died.
>> Okay, we're really going to talk about
it. No, I've never seen a single episode
of the original Battle Star Galactic.
>> Oh, see. Okay, see see if you can find
Ryan. Uh, Battlestar Galactica 1978.
There's a kid and he's got a robot dog.
Uh, I forget the robot dog's name, but
[ __ ]
please
no down. Uh, the way this thing moved.
There we go. Yeah. This thing, right?
>> Oh my god. Nightmare fuel.
>> Okay, so this thing this thing moves
around and immediately
>> I love that they're like, "Oh, well,
Star Wars is popular, so we'll just
like, what if we learned all the wrong
lessons?" Literally everything that's in
Star Wars is in there. They blow up a
planet because it was in Star Wars
there, you know, everything.
>> Uh, a dagot, right? So, here's the
thing. Penny is Oh, you know what? I'm
gonna tell Penny as well. This will be
worth it.
>> Okay. FaceTime audio Penelopey.
We'll see whether
>> starting a FaceTime audio call to
Penelopey Brushwood.
>> All right. Awesome. We'll see if we get
lucky.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe.
>> No.
>> Oh, Penny, you're live on you're live on
the air. Uh, I'm about to uh drop some
knowledge on you. Are you ready,
>> Penny?
>> Hello.
>> Yes, Penny, can you hear me?
>> Yes.
>> Okay, listen. You're live on the air
where I was telling Justin that we watch
Battlestar Galactica and I have some
knowledge that's going to blow your
mind. Uh yeah. When the dog robot came
on, what was your reaction?
>> Oh my god.
Oh my god.
>> Describe Describe the thing and how it
moved to Justin.
>> It moved like there was a person in a
suit like trundling along in there on
all fours like arching their back. It
has this like horrible off-putting face.
Okay. So, uh, here's the thing.
>> Wait, was there like a monkey in there?
>> Wait, what?
>> Oh, I was guessing that was going to be
surprised that you were like, "No, there
was like a lemur in there or some shit."
>> You're 100% RIGHT CUZ THE DISCUSSION
>> CUZ I JUST REALIZED it totally MOVED
LIKE A MONKEY.
>> OKAY. OKAY. SO, IT'S LIKE WE WERE
debating if it was a kid in there or a
tiny adult because uh working with kids
is difficult. And then uh we found out
during the show that it was a [ __ ]
monkey, a chimpanzee in a dog robot
costume.
>> They just let a chimpanzee go up to a
child,
>> right? How bonkers is that? Like, don't
worry, it's a robot dog with a
chimpanzee and a child actor. What could
go wrong?
>> Oh, yeah. Totally. All right.
>> I can't imagine.
>> Okay. All right. That's that's all I
have for you. Bye.
>> All right. See you later.
>> All right.
H
What did you learn anything new today?
Learn anything new
besides Bill Cosby supports Fox.
God, I wish he did.
I wish I wish he would just come out and
just be for everything that people don't
like.
Brought to you by Magic.
>> God, there's
no
>> We'll stay away. We'll stay away. I
don't want to get Ed Sheeran
>> for for the crime of saying, "Look, man,
I'm just trying to give people a good
show. [ __ ] you.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, not really. [ __ ] you online, but
he's still like
>> Yeah.
>> He has to share his pain with stadiums
paying fans.
>> Yep.
>> Yep.
>> Bad for him though. Bad. It's a whole
thing. It's bad. I don't know. We're
going to talk about it and we're not
wrong tomorrow, but like I feel like my
take is like
MLmore did nothing wrong.
>> Nobody did anything wrong. McLemore was
Mlemore.
The only problem is that either and we
don't know for sure
either Ed Sheeran who used to be like a
hip-hop guy before he became popular
singing man.
>> Yeah. like
and new McLemore like either he was too
good of a friend and was like, "Hey,
here's a huge [ __ ] payday for you."
>> Got it. And he was too spicy of a take
and no. And knew that like
>> knew everything that Mammore was going
to do. Knew what his show was. Knew what
his act was. Knew that it was very
political. And he's like, "Don't worry,
it's super cool, super awesome. We'll
just go. will make a [ __ ] ton of money
and we'll have a really fun time every
night. Uh, and then didn't realize that
everything was going to happen and then
it happened. At which point it's like,
all right, well, Ed Sheeran's too good
of a friend. Uh, McLemore, just
McLemore. Uh or it wasn't Ed Sheeran and
it was the promoters who were putting
together the opening acts cuz Ed
Sheeran's too busy falling in love with
your body to know that like they're
like, "Ooh, have you seen the views on
McLemore's tweets?" Like he tweets about
Gaza and everybody goes berserk. He's
gaga for Gaza.
>> You said it, not me.
>> No.
>> Uh uh. And so they're like like he needs
to be on the tour. And so they put him
on the tour not realizing that this is a
[ __ ] terrible idea. Who do you think
owns the [ __ ] stadiums? Uh it
immediately goes ary like on day one of
the tour. And then everything [ __ ] up.
But um
yeah, now everybody's like, "Oh, we're
quitting in solidarity." And Ed
Sheeran's like, "I'll just be here to
make all this money myself. I'll I'll
I'll keep them company with entertaining
music. I'm in love with my bank account.
Uh yeah, apparently
his act and this has been the same thing
forever. He has always used these loop
pedals.
>> This is called the loop tour.
>> Yeah. like, but he's always just used
loop pedals and it's only because he has
two or three songs that don't work with
the loop pedal that he had a backing
band who also quit on them.
>> Oh, really?
>> And so he was like, "All right, I had to
call other friends to see whether or not
they'd like to be on a stadium tour and
they said yes."
>> Wow. Oh. Uh, and so yeah, and now he's
playing without openers in a stadium
full of adoring fans that probably is
selling more tickets because they're
like, "We want to support Ed. He's sad."
>> Yeah. Wow.
>> I guess I'll go to the stadium
and cuddle up with with him.
>> Yeah.
>> Cuddle up with Ed.
>> I don't know. So, yeah, I learned about
that. Oh, I learned that they're banning
cartwheels in Australia in schools. Is
that a social app? That's part of the
>> No, cartwheels and handstands because
there were injuries in Australian
schools.
>> Which leads me to this question. The
[ __ ] happened to Australia? Cuz when we
grew up, it was like, no, this is a
rougher country than America.
>> Are you kidding me? No. Like, like the
joke I always say is when I think of
Australia, they're they're too busy. If
they ever don't respond immediately,
it's because they're busy eating
fistfuls of fire ants. They're [ __ ]
bonkers. The one the the reality show
that I never pitched would be a reality
competition show called Australia versus
Texas.
>> Yeah.
>> And you would just do like it' be like
one part Love Island where maybe they're
going to bang each other but also
they're competing and like who can do
Australia.
>> Oh, you know what? And then maybe maybe
maybe on the Texas side you find out
that someone was born in Australia who's
there on a visa.
somebody's secret secret Texan
>> secret
>> you got to find him
>> but like you bring in well he's dead now
but like you know in the initial idea I
was like one time like you bring in
Chuck Norris and they he riles up the
Texas people you bring in Crocodile
Dundee he riles up the Australian people
and then you do a big thing be really
really fun but that's because by
branding these are the same places
>> kind of desolate rough and tumb humble a
little bit. We do things different here.
>> Yeah. They they don't they don't uh they
don't they don't cot into whatever
someone else does. They do
>> banning cartwheels and it's like what
the [ __ ]
>> And you couldn't ban a cartwheel.
>> I'm going to tweet about Oh, well. Yeah.
Well, that's the other thing like like
we live in the most liberal place in
Texas, right?
>> Yes.
>> You couldn't ban a cartwheel here, could
you?
>> In Austin?
>> Yeah. Could you ban a cartwheel?
>> I'm pretty sure we banned dodgeball.
>> Really?
>> Pretty sure.
>> Dodgeball was the best. Did you ever
have like
>> Oh my god.
>> epic huge like like when you get to that
last part and it's like and like the
lines keep going farther and farther and
you you get him pinned. There'd be some
dude who down to one person. He's
jumping doing cartwheels, illegal
cartwheels and then and he catches one
suddenly there's two in and then come
back. It was the best.
>> Did you ever play bombardment?
>> What is that one?
>> Bombardment was dodgeball, but you had a
like 2 L bottle of soda filled with
water at the back end of either side.
>> Okay.
>> So, you could also score
>> by hitting
>> ah
>> the pin. So it it it it was more it was
less like in dodgeball when everyone's
like kind of trying to hide, you also
kind of were forced to play defense.
>> Yeah. Cuz you you got to protect
>> cuz you got to protect the pin.
>> Uh because if they hit the pin, they
could pick who got eliminated on your
side.
>> That's Oh,
>> so they could pick your best.
>> Oh yeah.
>> And so meanwhile, you were better off,
especially if you had a ball. That's the
other thing. A ball could be used for
defense. It was a shield, right? So,
boom, boom, boom. Right.
>> God. And then there was the high stakes
thing of like sometimes you were just
screwed and and it's like I'm going to
go for it. I'm
>> Did they ban that [ __ ]
>> Yeah.
>> [ __ ] I'm a single issue voter now.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> I'm gonna take batting.
>> Ryan, did did you did you grow up in a
dodgeballless world?
>> I did not. I had dodgeball.
>> You had dodgeball?
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> How recent? Last last month.
>> Last month.
>> He's 13 years old.
13 years old.
>> By the way, shouts out to Jinx in the
chat for keeping it lively. That's Jinx
is currently the VIP.
>> Yeah. What up, Jinx?
>> Yeah. What up, Jinx? What up, Jinx?
>> What up, Greg?
>> Uh,
so yeah. No, I don't know. I don't think
that you could ban cartwheels in Austin.
>> What about roundoffs?
>> Somebody would have to die.
>> Oh, of a cartwheel. He would have to die
of a cartwheel, but even then, I think
something else would be blamed before
the cartwheel.
>> Homestead Dork says, "Crossfire was my
favorite dodgeball variant." What is
What is Crossfire? Do you know that one?
>> I know that. I know the the board the
board game Crossfire.
>> Crossfire.
That was the coolest commercial for a
game that nobody ever saw live.
>> Apparently, it's a terrible game. Yeah,
>> it's an epic commercial that I always
misheard the lyrics to.
So you like the lyrics to the song are
crossfire, you've been caught in the
crossfire,
crossfire,
>> crossfire.
Uh for whatever reason when I watched
the commercial and I literally until I
was well into my adulthood when somebody
was like listing the lyrics on the
internet that I realized that I had
misheard it. I'd always heard the lyrics
as crossfire.
You can count on love. Yes. Crossfire.
Crossfire. Crossfire. Because like in
that era of pop music that would not be
>> No. Yeah. We're just barely we're pre
grunge just after hair metal, right?
>> Yeah. It was like hair metal scorpions
kind of like but like Yeah. As a
scorpions it was like crossfire you can
count on love. So, I wonder I wonder
where Crossfire real estate can get
harvested. And like, for example, we
went to Dave and Busters when we were on
our epic uh family vacation, and they've
got a giant size like ridable Hungry
Hungry Hippos where it's like you hit
it, you do the thing. But
>> I don't think we talked about this.
There was a game that I saw we we swore
we weren't going to do dumb ticket
games. Smash cut to $500 later. You
know, we have all the tickets. Uh, but
there was one that I was just like,
"Fuck yes." It was quite literally just
a gas station pump
>> and you had to get
>> Yeah. Wow. [ __ ] it. You already get it.
You already get it. That's it. You It's
perfect pump. And you go
right on the
>> $10.
>> Uh, let's say I did.
>> Sure.
>> Yeah.
>> And everyone clapped.
>> Yeah. There's another one where uh you
had a man and icy thing, but you you
could do it. So, it's like a green and
you could pull the green, but you could
overfill it or you could underfill it.
And so, we eventually, of course, the
whole family splits into, you know, five
of us, but we all get everything perfect
when Yeah, we got the jackpot.
>> Damn,
>> that was good.
>> That's good.
>> No, but the perfect pump was 10 out of
10. That's like
last time I went to Dave and Busters, it
was kind of depressing just because not
not because of Dave and Busters, which
is a great institution, but rather
because
we really were at the apex of arcade
design and now arcade new arcade games
are either what you've mentioned
upscales of IP that are not designed for
arcades. Right. Right.
uh that are essentially Instagram museum
things that you also would like to pay
$4 dollars for. Uh or
scaled up versions of console games, but
the era of like I'm going to design an
amazing game that is an attraction at an
arcade is so long gone. Uh oh. Or it's
versions of like gambling. Like it's
like versions of a
>> like like the uh the the coin pusher
things where it's like you walk around,
you're like, "Oh my god,
>> those are those are old." I just mean
like like you know if if you look at the
things that are being made today that
are gigantic screens where you put money
into that's thriving
>> are slot machines.
>> They're not arcade cabinets, right,
>> anymore. And so now, naturally, since
that's where the money is going, there
are things at Dave and Busters that are
like, "This is clearly just the cabinet
for a slot machine, right? That they've
put in something that is not a slot
machine."
Sean Levaster says, "I played Perfect
Pump on Easy Mode. I was really pumping
gas and it automatically slowed down and
stopped at $75,
which is what I paid."
Yeah, it really do be like that
sometimes.
>> It do be like that sometimes.
Uh, the mall's back.
>> It's not. It was a back.
It was so back. They were selling puppy
mill puppies at the mall.
>> What?
>> Uh uh.
>> That's not the mall being back. That
sounds like some Marrakesh [ __ ] They
were selling dogs at the mall. Somebody
somebody was pushing a little baby cart
with four little puppies in it.
>> No, hold on. It wasn't a stall. It was
literally just a person pushing a
[ __ ] cart.
>> That's how popular it was at the mall.
>> That's not popular. So busy. He had
people surrounding him talking about
what a good breed and she's going to
have her shot. She'll be available. And
so dude is just pedalling puppies at the
at at the Marash Mall. Meander. You
can't you can't spell maul without
meander. Meander talls. That's what you
are.
>> Do with that what you will.
>> Sure. And when you do, write us back.
>> That's right.
>> Self-ress stamped envelope to one two
three four five. Hello.
>> Yep.
>> Tell your robot to make us
>> to send us the self-address stamp down
below.
>> Yep. Scan the QR code that I've
implanted in my cheeks after I spread
them.
>> Yep.
>> Listen to Brian Rap.
Drop a beat. Uh I think Penny is going
to get into those throwback Jenkos from
Hot Topic.
That would give you two daughters that
are into that, right? Yeah.
>> Yeah. Eventually,
Callie's next.
>> You think so?
>> Yeah.
>> Think she's gonna go that way, too?
She's not gonna rebel.
>> I don't know. I don't I don't I don't
You're going to have three daughters.
Not one of them is going to be a pretty
pink princess.
>> Oh. Uh
>> I think I don't know. I don't know what
to expect from Callie.
>> Yeah.
>> Wild card.
>> Yeah, exactly.
>> I mean, she she turned she could be in a
pants suit tomorrow. You never know.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Well, I I told you my theory
of why she's all of a sudden the most
popular kid at school.
>> Is she the most popular kid in school?
>> Well, among the So, she has historically
uh uh been perfectly content to sit away
from the crowd of students and to huddle
over, listen to her music, and tune out
and scribble and all that stuff. And so,
oftentimes the teachers would tolerate
that uh level of standoffishness. And
there was like an uneasy truce with a
lot of her teachers. But then this year
we go to meet the teacher [ __ ]
Everybody's raving about her. And here's
what I think. This is my theory,
>> okay?
>> Because you know she's got a touch of
the scoliosis and so she's in a brace
>> and that brace that she has to wear all
day forces her
>> to be upright
>> to sit up straight which makes
>> everybody's like whoa.
>> Which which
>> who's in charge here?
>> Exactly. And I'm certain she's
experiencing a reinforce a positive
reinforcement loop where it's like
because she's forced to sit up straight,
the teacher might call on her because
she looks like she's paying attention
and then she gets things right because
everything's [ __ ] easy in in school,
you know? And then uh and then I'm I'm
convinced that it's just it's all
because Put your kid in a brace. That's
what I say.
>> Brace him.
>> Yeah. Brace for impact.
>> Braces.
Braces them.
What have we learned tonight, Brian?
Man, we learned that the easiest way to
get your click-through rate to go up,
just make headlines. That's all we got
to do from now on.
>> It's just tell me that they're just
putting kids in braces. NOW,
>> we we learned that uh that that that
Flock needs a spokesman and that we know
of a certain someone available.
Yeah, we learned uh that uh the mall
sells offbrand
like unlicensed dogs now
at the ball's back. Yeah, it's another
way to put it.
>> We learned that Battlestar Galactica
hired a chimp in a robot dog suit.
>> Yeah, we did. We did. We also learned
>> You can go see the Flock episode of The
Modern Rogue with Brian and I. Uh, Yahoo
covered it,
>> so what's your [ __ ] excuse? Yeah.
Yeah, that's true. Hey, uh, oh, uh, by

his tiny little tears are rolling down
his little cutie doll face.

>> Oh, I'm I'm back to recommending
lanterns. Uh first two episodes great
episodes three and four. Episode five
was the finale. I was like what? I'm
going to tell you, I was totally in on

reason why we resubscribed to HBO

Lindelof and I was fully out.

and uh
>> I was fully out.
>> I knew I knew. I was like, "Well, RIP to
>> No, I'll get to the end. I'll let you
you people get to the end and then tell
me
what happened." But as soon as it was
like I was hearing some of the criticism
and I was like, "Yeah, it's fine. It's
fine. It's fine." And then it's like,
"Oh, it's Lindelof." And it's like, "Oh,
no, no, no."
>> Then it's poisoned.
>> Don't eat the poison.

>> Do a bit.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> You got to do a video.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Surrounding it.
>> Okay.
I gotta figure out a a hack or a scam.
Hair hack.
I wonder if it would be worth it
to do
like a a a faux throwback 2008 episode
wearing a a hat with popcorn in it. Like
a shot forshot remake
of
uh a scam school episode.
>> Yeah. Like one that was shot in Austin
as old as possible.
>> Yeah.
>> Oh [ __ ] Did Did you see uh Oh. Uh that
that video that you edited, Ryan, can
you pull it up on the Scam School page
and we can show it to Chester Robert
Young? I had an adventure
that uh that I that I immediately there
was a moment that I grabbed something
and I thought, "Get your [ __ ] phone
out, Brushwood."
>> Oh, yes, yes, yes. Oh, I have a video I
can show you guys. It's not It wasn't
good for the show, but it might be good
for after.
>> Here we go. Uh, did I already send this
to you? Did you already see this
>> on the job? Just everything. Oh my god.
Okay.
Just over there, guy. There. Just go on.
Go on. Go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Keep going.
Outside. Outside.
That's the way. There you go. Yep. Keep
going. Keep going. There you go. There
you go. There you go. Go on. You got
this. Hey. No. Wrong way. Wrong way.
I'm shocked.
>> Go, go, go. No, no, no, no.
>> Keep going.
>> Oh, come on.
>> Too many legs.
>> Yeah,
>> you guys. So, when my foot was hovering
over it, like I was like, easiest way
out of this is to stomp. And then I
realized, holy [ __ ] I'm literally
living one of the moments from William
Shatner's Kingdom of the Spiders.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> There you go. Bye, guys. Like my
nightmare as a 5-year-old was now
>> send.
>> Thank you. Global warming.
>> Uh, if I were going to send a video,
where would I send it?
>> Uh, I think you send it to uh my Gmail.
I think I think I'm logged in over
there.
>> Yeah.
Yeah. The number of comments that were
just like, "Dude, just give him the
house. Don't What are you What are you
even doing? Just burn the whole thing
down. It's the easiest way."
>> So, I'm doing a fantasy football league.
>> Yeah. And it's a knockout league, which
means that nobody, no teams play against
each other. You just have your players
and then the lowest scoring team gets
eliminated. Got it. Each week
>> Oh, got it. So, it's not just that you
have to end up the best, like you have
to stay,
>> you have to not be the worst, right? Uh,
and one of the things that I wanted to
do with it was see
how much I could automate a lot of this
and how much I could do this stuff um,
you know, with uh, uh, the tools we have
available.
And so I have branding, we have a
mascot, it's easy to write up these
emails. But uh, I got eliminated the
first week. Mhm.
>> And so one of the visions I had was that
every week there would be a video
>> where
the person who scored the lowest would
get eliminated. So the first one I had
to fitting it also set a good tone
because I could be as mean as I wanted
to to myself. I could humiliate myself.
>> So So you know that you're buying rope
to strangle everyone with.
>> Yeah. So, uh, Evan Scrimshaw
is a phenomenal election analyst,
election betting expert. Uh, he's in
Ottawa. He covers Canadian politics now.
He's like an actual like dude that
people listen to in Canadian politics,
but he has a lot of great American stuff
and he's a regular on the PX3 show. And
so, I invited him because he's also a
big football guy. I invited him uh to
join the league. I was the first out. He
was the second out.
>> Yeah.
>> And I made this video and uh uh I think
people might might enjoy it.
>> All right. Hit us up.
>> It appears that America has tariffed the
fantasy points out of the arms. Oh,
here. Uh here. Pause it and then get get
rid of the get get rid of the chat on
there and then we can read the
subtitles. There you go.
That's great. Wait.
He cried a
Oh, it's the lake.
Okay. 10 out of 10. That's great. That
was great. That's great. We ain't going
to beat that. No. All right. Bye guys.
