Oh,
it's back. Listen, if you're listening
to this, if you're watching this and it
is not inside of a Patreon insider live
stream thing, I got bad news for you
guys.
All of this is about to go Patron only
as bonus stuff. [laughter]
What are you doing?
Ladies and gentlemen, it is go time.
[laughter]
for office hours. Office hours, of
course, is the Five Nation check-in.
That's where we go live to the 1.7
million subscribers over at over at
Modern Rogue, the nearly 2 million
subscribers over at Scam School.
We have the
sure the dozens and dozens of alleged
humans over at LinkedIn. Uh, my name is
[laughter] Brian Brushwood, joined by
the inevitable Penelopey Ray Brushwood.
It has been a minute [music] since we've
done since we've done office hours. And
you know what? We haven't uh double
checked and we're live on the right
thing. So, if you're live in [music] the
chat, make sure to say this is working.
Also, if you are live on both uh
twitch.tv/nutack TV/nutack and one of
the other ones. Do a quick uh uh check
to see. Boy, that is a lot of smoke.
This might just have to be part of it.
Do a check check to see how low the
latency is on all this. Yes, indeed.
Cliffhorn office hours is back. Oh my
goodness, Benny, you look very pleased
with yourself. [laughter]
You can tell it's our uh triumphant
return because of the fog.
>> Yes. Well, uh okay, my voice is going to
get furry for a moment. But in the
meantime, for everybody new here, it's
been a minute since we've done it.
Number one, some of you guys noticed
that the back catalog of office hours
are vanishing. Yes, that's intentional
because uh office hours is going to
become a perk of patrons. That's right,
the fantastic folks who go over to
patreon.com/modernrogue.
If you've been on the fence, if you're a
lapsed patron, now's the time to head on
over to patreon.com/modernrogue [music]
because we we got a lot of these. You
can already access the back catalog of
238
episodes. Today, of course, is day
number 249.
Hold on. Here we go. There we go. Of
office hours. We are going to go to the
cognitive gym. We are going to limber up
our brains for the scam apocalypse.
And then I'm going to show you my new
toy. Uh there we go. We'll say
rent.
Let's do a good show.
There we go. The robo thoughts are
improved.
Hello JMR. Hello Cliff Horn. Hello,
Chay. Hello, Nicholas George. Hello,
Dylanas. Hello, Carl Metaru. Hello, G.
James B. Hello, Flying Car 100. So
beautiful to see all you guys. All
right, guys. Um, okay. Uh, we'll get to
the rest of this. I'll explain all of
this later on. For now, we're going to
jump right in with the original [music]
Scam School episode as we go to Scam
School. The only show dedicated to the
only show dedicated to social
engineering at the bar and on the
street. Oh goodness. Oh goodness indeed.
This is not zoomed in in the right
place.
So I guess I'll just have to do this.
Oh no. Oh, there it is.
All right. Hold on. There we go. I'll do
that. All right. Here we go.
You know, one of those high flutin
wordsmiths. Now you can take them down a
peg. Those smart people. They're knowing
words and learning.
This episode of Scam School brought to
you by Lucha Libre. Grab your mask and
get directly into the ring with Los
Heroes of Lucha Libé and GoDaddy.
Welcome to the show that finally answers
the question of WTF. Where's the fun?
Scam School, the only show dedicated to
social engineering at the bar and on the
street. I'm your host, Brian Gushwood,
and I love today's scam. You could do it
anytime, anywhere. It takes somebody
down a peg. And the best part is it uses
no physical objects whatsoever. We are
about to place [music] an alphabet.
Alphabet.
>> Oh my gosh, it is so good to see you
again, Ryan. How are you doing? Awesome.
And it is good to meet you if you are.
>> Bella, it was good to meet you. Now,
here's the question for you guys. Which
one of you would you say is more
verbose? Has the biggest vocabulary?
Maybe a maybe a Scrabble wiz. Somebody
who's does crosswords and always knows
like [music] letters and words and
everything.
>> Scrabble.
>> Oh yeah.
>> You got the goods.
>> Yeah.
>> Bella doesn't seem very impressed.
>> Is he good? You do you guys play
Scrabble?
>> I guess. Yeah.
>> The wordsmith. All right. All right,
Professor Wordley. We're going to put
your skills to the test and we're going
to see how good [music] you are. I'm
going to give you a very simple
challenge. I just need you to come up
with as many words as you can in 90
seconds. I'll keep Well, not just any
words, right? Because otherwise you
just, you know, you just read off any
old thing, right? You got to think,
engage your brain just a little bit.
[music] I'll be keeping track. And in
fact, Bella, do you want to be our
timekeeper for this? All right. Here's
what we're going to do. We're going to
I'm going to go ahead and put it on the
stopwatch function. You'll be the
official timekeeper. I'm going to give
you 90 seconds. [music]
90 seconds. And you're going to come up
with as many words as you possibly can
that don't have the letters A, B, or C.
Would you say it's easy or hard?
>> It sounds hard. So, I'm not thinking of
any.
>> OH, COME ON, DUDE. YOU CAN'T think of
you. You know what? I'm going to I'm
going to up it again. All right. We're
I'm going to [music] make you come up
with as many words as you can that don't
have A, B, C, or the letters J, K, M, or
B.
Think about it like it's not like I um
the
>> Yeah, there's plenty of them. ABC JK.
See, you're already thinking ahead. See,
you're not you're not supposed to be
thinking ahead. But that's all right. In
fact, I'll even take your time. Take
your time. In fact, I tell you what, you
go ahead and start pre-thinking and you
can be thinking ahead and in the
meantime, we will thank our sponsors and
then we will see [music] your skills,
sir.
>> All right, dude. Grab your
>> Do you remember? Do you know this one?
Do you know the grift on it?
>> No. A my a uh as a having a degree in
know word knowing
>> word knowing. Yeah, I did. I did
>> more like I English degree.
>> We are we are working very hard to get
you paid up in the word knowing academy
that you went to.
>> Yes.
>> More like word understanding I guess for
an English degree. Anyway, my guess is
numbers
>> moves as well. You want to fly. You want
to jump? Where do you want to seek
revenge? 1 2 3.
What do you Oh, that's right. Hold on.
Dylan Theus busted us. No, no toasted to
the first ad. That's a That's a mistake.
That's a whoopsie.
>> All right. Well, uh, not going to say
you ruined the whole bit. I guess we'll
just
>> I'm just too smart, Dad.
>> I know. I'm
>> I don't know what you're talking about.
I guess we'll just see however it goes
here.
>> Try and solve it.
>> All right. Look at this. Lucha Libre
Sports. Here we go. Because it's not
just wrestling, it's Lucha Libre.
>> Oh my god. It's not just It's
>> Yep.
>> All right, Ryan. You even had the chance
to cheat and pre-think all your words in
advance. You got 90 seconds. I'll mark
them down. Bella, tell us. Ready, set,
go.
>> Ready, set, go.
The do
would

with the Y instead of an Iro.
>> Oh, okay. Sorry.

>> Stone. Yep. Yep. Yep.
>> Ground.
>> Ground. Got it.
>> Can I say bad words?
>> Uh, sure. Why not? We'll bleep it.
>> Yep.
>> Yep.
>> Time.
>> Time. All right. Grand total. After 90
seconds, you got 22.
Not bad. Very verbose. But I'm going to
make an unusual bet. I'm going to double
[music] down cuz I had a feeling that
Bella was going to win, but I don't
think he realized by how much. I'm going
to make the claim right now that Bella
and I working as a team and in fact I'll
you'll be the majority share partner.
I'll bet that Bella [music] can come up
with between the two of us we can come
up with 50 words that have don't have A,
B, C, J, K, M, or P.
>> Okay?
>> And I bet [music] we could do it in
under 90 seconds. And I will only
provide five of those words. The other
45 will all come from Bella.
>> Okay.
>> In time. In fact, you can be score. Are
you going to take that bet?
>> He doesn't get to see a dictionary.
>> No. No, not at all.
>> All right, I'll take that bet.
>> All right, dude. It's on,
>> man. All right. By now, you know the
game work. I forgot. I forgot what a
challenge it was to try to sneak two ad
slots into each of these. Like for for
what should be maybe a twominute. Bet
you to have to stretch that out. How
long do you think this episode is,
Petty?
>> 10 minute, 12 minutes. 11 minutes long,
two full like 90 second ad reads in
there. That was like that was like
cutting down uh cutting good product
with with baking soda.
>> Be sure to go to godaddy.com and use the
promo code scam10 at checkout. That'll
get your domain for $7.99 each and
they'll forward it anywhere.
>> There we go.
>> The internet at godaddy.com.
>> All right, here we go. All right, the
contest is on once again. I think
between the two of us, 50 words. I don't
have A, B, or C, J, K, M, or P. She'll
get 45 of them. I am going to just
provide five. And it's all going to be
up to you. Now remember, you only have
90 seconds. But what are you ready?
Okay, you give us a ready, set, go.
>> All right,
>> Bella, you ready? Focus. Bella, look.
>> Three, two, one, go.
>> Bella. One,
two,
three,
four,
five. How many words in that?
>> Lime jive

And she can keep on going all the way to
a hundred. If you think that you can get
it fast enough, then you can get a
hundred of them in in under a minute. As
long as you're tearing through it. But
you, Dude, here it is. It's that easy,
man. Hey, thanks so much. And [music]
you are a fantastic sport. And I owe you
a drink that Ryan will pay for a
Remember,
it's all about putting on the pressure
early on. You got to make it clear that
it's all about how many words this guy
comes up with. Don't worry, there's no
chance he'll [music] come up with more
than 50 in under 90 seconds. Second of
all, that moment that [music] you're
throwing a lifeline to your partner,
make sure you're looking her right in
the eye and you're able to communicate
that this is her ticket to victory. Now,
I want to hear about your success
stories and failure stories. So, post
them at the board at

Next week, we're going to be learning
from a legal expert about a loophole
that allows you to cite the police. But
until then, I'm gonna have another beer.
All right. I don't think we have Oh,
wait. Maybe we do have out takes. Nope.
We have a old promo. [music]
>> I will not count 21 as a separate word
from 20 and one.
>> Wait, you do you do not?
>> I do not.
>> Why not? Hyphenated words are words.
>> I They're compound. They're That's two
words. Well,
well, what about dog house? Dog house is
is it a different word than than dog and
house?
>> No,
>> we were counting
birds in this way. [laughter]
>> Give me lime cokes and jive nuggets.
Ah, that was that was a tense moment
when she didn't quite catch on to the
game at the beginning, but then the
stakes got real and it ended up paying
off. It was pretty good.
Lime and Jive are now numbers. Oh,
that's so good.
Uh, okay.
So, oh, that's right. I forgotten about
the whole process of the show. Look,
here's the thing, guys. These episodes
came back. We are all the way back to, I
believe, 2010 in the old Scam [music]
School episodes. And some of them were
hits, some of them were not. So, we're
going to play a little game we like to
call Guess Attack. Head on up over to
guess.com. [music]
That's guatt.com.
Hold on. Let's see. We'll do uh do I
have to do a bang bang command or can
somebody do that? Guess attack.
Uh,
lime
and what was it? Lime and
Jive.
Open guesses. That's what it was.
Open guesses.
Lime and jive
numbers.
How many views do you think?
Oh, I don't know if the bot's running.
Oh, no. Wouldn't that be terrible?
We'll have to play the game just in the
chat.
>> Oh, that's great. Sign says he has a
system down for the credits. So, we can
get those back in.
>> Failed. No active entries.
>> Is the code guesses opens?
>> Yeah, I think it's
>> I guess you guys will just have to log
them all in here. G James B says it's
691,142.
Banterat says 469,000
even.
There we go. Guesses. Ah, there we go.
It is working. Hey, Limey and Jive.
Head on over to guestattack.com. That's
guattac.com.
And guess how many views you think this
one has racked up since all the way back
in, I believe, September of 2010. First
we got G. James B with 691,142.
[music]
Starwoman coming in with 230,000. And
what was the rest?
>> 500 or 452.
>> 452.
Banterat with 469,000.
Joey H66 with a mere 1,300. Who knows?
Maybe that's exactly right. Flying car
100 with 420,000 on the nose. Cliffhorn
with 235,000. Not Scary Steve with
400,000. Even Curtis with 120,000. Chay
says, "Nice to see you back." It's good
to be back. We're going to get these
wiggles out. I promise. 353,000.
Corol says 420,69
and Caleb Presidge says 76,582.
And the actual number of views all the
way back 16 years ago, originally
published October 6, 2010, is 935,58.
So there we go. I got to paste this and
I'll say guesses closed. Guesses closed.
And I don't know if I did it right.
There we go. Votes are locked in.
Now we're going to see. We're going to
see. We're going to see.
>> Ah, everyone guessed low.
>> Yeah, just shy of 1 million views. And
the winner is G. James B with 691,42.
Hold on. Let me see. I got to remember
where that
>> G. Jes.
>> G. Jives B. Is that what it says?
>> No, I that was my suggestion.
>> That's good.
There we go. Congratulations, G. James
B. You did it. You crushed it. Woo!
Silver medal goes to Banterat with
469,000.
Kuro Metaru with 420,69.
Congrats. Congrats. Congrats.
All right. Could have gotten a little
closer. That's right.
>> G. James B was tempted to go with
911,420.
911420.
Yeah,
>> they smoked the second tower.
>> They Yes. All right. Do you Did you want
to put more smoke on, Penny?
>> Yes.
>> Okay. You got to plug it back in.
Plug it back in. Let it charge.
Meanwhile, I am going to show off the
new toy that I made. So, one of the
things that uh from a design
perspective,
it should be all right. He question
marked.
So here is a problem that I wanted to
solve for. What I wanted to solve for is
if any of [music] these segments exist
out of time.
The question is
how poorly aged are
uh is the use of any kind of robot going
to be? So I went ahead and I made a uh
an intermediary cuz whatever robot you
use for for questions and stuff. There
we go.
Uh,
there we go. So, I got an Apple 2e E
font set up for this because what I
noticed is we don't hate the idea of
humans talking through stuff
and getting ideas about it. What we hate
is we hate uh, you know, having having
Windows office reflected in our face.
So, I made three different setups. So,
the first one, this is an Apple 2e
intermediary that allows me to
make some
make some ASI
art to show off the Apple
2 look. There we go.
There you go. Not bad.
That's pretty good. That's pretty good.
And so it's like now it's great. Next,
>> right?
>> Great. Next. Let's uh demonstrate
the
Oh, is it the Majino
or the Nostromo?
probably will. There it is.
>> Excellent.
And then finally
>> great switch to
ah
>> Seth
Brundles
telepod
So now the question is which one?
Oh, sine wave says there we go.
Oh, that didn't look right at all.
Uh
note
uh font is different on teleod
demonstrate
with
different style
asy
I guess I could just be showing this,
but that's not the same. That ain't
good.
>> You can't see our awesome fog machine.
>> Checking for extra legs.
>> There we go. So, anyway, uh that is a
little design nudge that I rather enjoy.
There we go.
Then we'll switch this back to
Oh goodness, that ain't right. Oh,
that's right. That's because I did this.
There we go. And now it's back.
Ooh, I don't know which one that one is.
Biocow. If you guys have any other uh
classic robot looks for me to uh
emulate, post them in the comments or in
the chats.
>> Someone said uh yeah, do Hall 9000.
Uh yeah, I guess that would take more
vis visual rendering,
but also you don't really you only hear
voice. You don't you don't get any kind
of
>> Yeah. UI.
>> Yeah. There's no UI on that.
>> You don't want the robot's voice.
>> Yeah. But I did uh I made it so that I
could scroll in and out and scroll back
through everything
on here. I thought this came out pretty
good.
All right, Penny,
here's the question. Are you familiar
with this Doppler doxing that's that's
[music] going on? This is maybe one of
my favorite YouTube videos of the entire
year.
>> Why? You'll never guess where I heard
about this.
>> Okay. Well, you know what? Before we
did, you had some uh office hour stories
that I missed.
>> Huh?
>> Yeah. Uh, what was the what was the
story about the PHP thing that you you
were following more than I was?
>> I mean, I just saw people posting about
it. Oh,
>> okay.
>> I don't I'm not enough of I don't have
sources. I don't want to be wrong on
air.
>> Okay.
>> I don't want to be wrong on air.
>> Ruby Swan just says, "What did I join in
on?" Uh, look, I uh for 238 days or I
guess 231 days in a row, then I took a
break. I've been doing office hours
where I go live across everything and
then I took a vacation and that screwed
up the schedule and I've only done it
once a month. And today we're getting
back on that horse talking about all the
rogue news of counter intelligence of
OENT of privacy issues of the spam of
the scam apocalypse of the spam
apocalypse all of that. And uh and then
it eventually So here's the new rules on
all of his stuff. office hours content.
It's good for it to go live, but the
VODs are not going to live for anyone
except for [music] patrons. So, you're
going to want to go to
patreon.com/modernrogue.
That's where And you know what? I've
already primed the pump. I already made
the beginnings of an interview podcast
for the modern rogue with me and Dr.
Jordan Breeding talking about the meta
of where YouTube is headed. So, what I
So, office hours is going to become a
patron's only benefit and other stuff as
well. I'm going to stop my mouth from
talking because that's how I get in
trouble. All right, Penny, did you want
to gas up the joint?
>> What? Even more?
>> Oh, did you already do it?
>> Yeah.
>> I didn't notice.
>> Let me see.
Nope. Don't go there.
What?
>> I have more fog.
>> Yeah, you can hit the fog one more time
and then we're going to learn about this
Doppler [music] business.
>> The fog machine. They're slaughtering
slaughtering lambs for democracy.
>> Now, now that was America.
>> Oh, that was America. That's right.
Yeah. No, you are not claiming any
responsibility for that one. I actually
have no memory of election night. I just
woke up the next morning.
>> Yeah, you just sort of blanked out for a
second, right?
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, that's that's great. Uh Dylan Theas.
Oh, I got to I got to fix these.
You know what? I'll take just a moment
and I will fix some of these.
Let's see.
Nope.
Aha.
Just a roguish virtual [music]
intelligence system.
Why on earth
does that not show up
when this gets featured? I'll have to
figure that out.
A shame America isn't in the studio
today.
>> Yeah,
>> today the studio.
>> Oh, wait a minute.
Okay, there we go. So, if I do this Oh,
there it is. That's fixed now. So,
that's one.
And then over here,
this one's fixed.
Let's see which other which other one
needs There we go. This one needs
the feature.
Oh, there isn't one. So, I'll go to
featured.
There it is. Okay. So, I'm going to save
this as All right, we're getting better.
All right. So, we're going to take a
moment. Uh, hands up in the chat. How
many of you guys Oh, first of all, we
need a latency check because one of the
things in the spin up that we've set up,
do you think we could do office hours
twice a week on weekends, Penny?
Or just do we think we could find twice
a week in general?
>> I think you're the limited factor.
>> Yeah. Well, we'll see. We'll see how
fast we can make it happen. But
here's the important thing is take a
look at this video if you have not seen
it. Oh, that's right. What I wanted to
do is There we go.
Yeah, we'll see how long the lag is. As
part of the pre-flight setup, I have it
set to turn on ultra low latency. So, in
theory, here's the big thing I want to
check is is
Twitch and YouTube, do they have parody?
If they are roughly the same lag,
then that is important.
Oh,
12 seconds from Australia.
That's a lot. YouTube is about 2 seconds
behind Twitch.
Yow.
All right. So, this video right here,
uh, now that you guys are all caught up,
how many you guys have seen this video
about the sound that leaks your exact
location and it's everywhere?
Man,
I I am not embodying the spirit of 420
[music] Blizzet cuz I don't need
mindaltering substances to have fun and
whimsy.
>> Yeah,
>> drugs are for cowards and people who are
too lame to have fun on their own.
>> Busted. Got him.
Well, shoot.
I'll have to fix this. All right. Uh, in
the meantime, here, take a look at this.
Basically, what uh, Colto is talking
about is he has done a whole bunch of
OSENT stuff. He found a bunch of things
here, there, and everywhere. But here's
the challenge that he laid out is with
just a little bit of audio,
he was able to locate the exact
location. Hold on. Let me see. Here we
go. This one. Take a look. The only
information you have is that it was
filmed September 8th somewhere in the
continental [music] US. That's all you
get. But with that information,
>> well, I think you also need to know the
time, don't you? Maybe. Maybe not. Uh,
but basically just this little snippet
right here. Here we go.
>> In the description, the only information
you have is that it was filmed September
8th somewhere in the continental. So,
uh, the the big idea is that with an
outdoor camera getting continuous audio,
if you take it out and you look for a
spectrogram, here we go.
Wow. Wow. Bow. You take that audio and
if you look at the spectrogram, you will
see Doppler shifts. Right? This is a
propeller plane going.
Now, there's a shape and a predictable
code to the way Doppler works. For
example, a [music] race car going right
past you is going to have a very sharp
one. It's going to be like
whereas a very far away race car or a
train will be like
long time, right? And what he figured
out is that with a sample of say 2
minutes long,
you uh 920 seconds is what he has. So
it's uh if you see one Doppler curve and
then exactly [music] 920 seconds later
uh by the way you'll notice that there
are three there that that's the original
Doppler curve and then these are
harmonics of it. But there's a
particular shape to it that implies how
far away they are and uh how fast the
thing must be going. Now that alone what
are you going to do with that? Now you
these are this is all the telemetry data
because we know where every single plane
all across America is at all times. So
with that span of time, you can begin to
figure out, okay, when do two planes
pass by with roughly the same shape that
you would expect this Doppler curve to
be? And at first he sort of loosey
gooseies it and just easy wants to go.
But then uh later he points out that
you're able to from the the slight
difference. Oh, here we go. So at this
point you get all the collision
possibilities
and then he figures out that the silence
the [music] gap in between the two means
that that's a time that planes are not
there. So you have a time that a plane
goes by and a time another plane goes by
and then the gap in the middle where no
planes go by
and then there we go. You can see here
he's uh now and of course the exact fit
of the Dopplers because airplanes don't
go in exact straight lines. They're not
straight line vectors. They're
constantly turning and moving. So with
that, he's able to figure out who's
moving and turning to where he's able to
get the exact predicted mathematical
probability of the Doppler shift of a of
a straight vector all the way across.
And then there we go. He's able to plot
all these on to. Now, here's the thing.
Everybody is in the middle of verifying
this. There are two significant things
that I'm interested in chiming in on.
Number one, he says, I I I I don't know
where I could quote this. Maybe it's in
the comments, but I believe he says
that he's holding off on uh releasing
his code for privacy reasons, which
immediately ticked Brian's postp
Prometheian senses. That says, man, last
time I checked, anybody can make
anything if they just know it's
possible. So, I want to check in number
one on whether or not somebody's already
vibecoded an open- source alternative to
this. Number two, I want to know if
anybody's been able to replicate his
results. And then number three, this is
the most interesting part. These Doppler
shifts appear in the spoken word range.
So, which means that they can show up.
You can't just do a highpass and a low
pass filter. Uh, number one, any YouTube
video is going to be safe from this
because you're not going to have 15
minutes of unbroken audio. Number two,
uh, but live streamers will not be safe.
Number two, to eliminate all of that, he
gets into what if you just eliminate the
high pass and the low pass here. This is
this is the big payoff right here. This
is worth taking a look at.
All right, let's zoom in here. So, what
we're looking at is a super pixelated
tree line, and we kind of want this
V-shaped tree followed by a point and
then this big rounded part. So, from
this location, nothing really that way.
I'm not seeing any V-shaped trees here.
Here's kind of one, but we needed to go
up and to the right.
There's one more here where we have this
Vshape with a point and then this
rounded part. Here they are side by
side. And if I zoom out and look at the
top of this pole, here is the exact
security camera that took this footage.
So, how do you protect yourself? Well,
the first thing people might think is a
highpass filter. There are two reasons
that this doesn't work. First, the
frequencies of these Doppler curves are
pretty much the same frequencies of the
human voice. You'd be removing a good
chunk of what you actually want to
record. Second, depending on how you
highpass, it might not even work anyway.
So, say this is my recording. I have the
Doppler curve here. I'll apply the
highpass and cut off the Doppler curve.
I'll export this as an MP3. Open that
MP3. And the Doppler curve is completely
gone. Now, let me just boost all the
frequencies, and the curve is back.
The next thing you might think, well, I
would be talking during my video.
There'd be other loud things going on,
so the mic would pick up on that, not
background plane sounds. What if I told
you for the past 15 seconds, I've had a
JBL speaker across the room playing a
Doppler curve.
So, highpass doesn't work. You can't
drown it out. One thing that works is
just making cuts. That way, you can't
use the time offset between these. But
remember, when we found the location
with just one minute of audio, if it's a
large search area, you might need to
know the pretty precise time of
recording. And you might think, when are
you ever going to know the exact time of
a recording? How about any phone call
you've ever had? But phone calls
compress audio. They apply noise
reduction. Surely a Doppler curve won't
survive that.
>> Right now, you're listening through
another phone speaker under a bunch of
squish follows. I'm in a different room
with that same JBL speaker playing the
Doppler curve. Just to verify there's no
leakage, I'm going to go on.
So, if the Doppler curve was going
through the phone and only through the
phone, what you should have seen there
was a gap in the Doppler curve and then
when I started talking again, it came
back.
>> So, high pass doesn't work. You can't
drown it out and it can survive phone
compression. So, what can you actually
do? Like I said, you could make cuts in
your videos or apply some additional
noise cancellation, but look, I'm not
trying to fearmonger with this video.
The odds of someone
>> He sort of [clears throat] he sort of
drops off the thread really fast where
he's like, "Anyway, that's the the end
of that story."
>> What's that?
>> Make cuts.
>> You can you can make cuts. Uh, and for
YouTubers that'll be enough, but for
live streamers it will not. So, the two
most obvious moves [music] at this point
are number one, replicate the results,
and then number two, but but do it in,
you know, if we're doing it with Modern
Rogue, we get as far as, you know, if if
we're able to get it in Texas, then that
counts as a win. But the but then the
second thing is to figure out what
digital chaff would look like.
Basically, could you have a box or a
speaker that is constantly just always
doing uh a a you know fake sounds
[music] and will that be enough to to
fool it? So, that'll be what I'm working
on today. Any suggestions on that?
But I I I'll tell you this much. Shouts
out to this channel again. Uh, Colto Cto
ST everybody go watch the entire thing.
It's worth it's worth the f full 30
minutes to watch it.
Well, a white machine white noise
machine flying car [music] 100 will just
give a standard white noise pattern. And
as he showed, if you can hear a voice,
then you you'll be able to hear the the
Doppler curves in there as well because
it's in the same range as voices.
Make your text notifications a [music]
Doppler sound. Yeah, that would work.
That is pretty good.
Yeah, a lot of good channels. In fact,
actually,
I was just going to record my own thing,
I think. I think I'll go get like 20
minutes of audio
down
in the bowl of Modern Rogue HQ. Here,
we'll go maps.google.com.
>> No, we're talking to ourselves. I mean
kind of gave up. Look, we don't ask ask
anybody who has received anything from
the store.
There we go. So,
there we go. So, down here in the bowl,
so up here at the top of campus is uh
like a 180 foot drop from here all the
way down to here. So, when you're up at
the top, you really cannot hear
planes too well, but then when you uh
you got a lot of traffic noise up front,
but then when you go all the way down,
it's very quiet and you can hear all the
air traffic. So, I think I'll try to get
like an unbroken [music]
30 minutes down there.
Time shift your audio pitch correct and
it won't match up. But you can't do that
on a live stream. That's that's the
that's the unmet need in the universe
that I'm trying to satisfy is like
what's a thing that a live streamer
could have on that would cover
you can copy and paste using any
audioedit program and play it in the
background at different pitches and
include jets. Yeah, that's that's along
the lines what I'm thinking.
can't time shift long enough. Yeah.
So, as best I was able to research, I've
got I've got some bots crawling on this
story as it unfolds. There's a bunch of
folks are having difficulty recreating
it, but I know that no fewer than four
GitHub repositories have been created
that are doing exactly this.
So, I'll take a look at that. I guess I
could Should I do it on the live stream?
I guess we should.
Oh, you know what? I don't know why.
I don't know why I didn't think to do
this.
There we go. Yeah, this feels like this
kind of job.
Um,
>> how would you get a live stream for
another location to mix in?
>> What was that, Penny?
>> Uh, DJ said, "Fix in a live stream from
another location." But like how do you
get a live stream that you know isn't
going to suddenly have people talking in
it and interrupting you from another
location that's meaningfully far enough
away that is not doxing?
>> Uh hang on to the coal store.
So another thing uh KB9
points out that is correct is part of
the method that Colto is using is that
he relies on the absence of a flight
being part of the information because if
you know when one flight goes and
another one goes and you know in this
gap nothing else shows up then then that
is part of the important elimination.
However, if you get like an uh I don't
know, a crop duster or some kind of prop
p plane that isn't uh uh that doesn't
have a transponder on it.
Okay. The cold star story uh concerns
locating recordings from fain aircraft
sounds. Yep, that's what we just did.
Geolocca uh
Dopplerists published results are mixed
including a guided replay whose leading
candidate was about 44 meters from a
reference location but failed its
acceptance criteria. Okay.
Okay.
Uh how
Peek behind the curtain, guys. This is
Monrog Production.
>> Behind the curtain? What?
>> Monroe production.
>> Yeah. No, this is this is how it goes.
We could talk about anything else if if
that's more interesting to you. I am
here for you, Penny.
Let's see.
Many things I like to talk about.
>> Like what?
>> They're largely like video games I play
and not help.
>> Oh, get that get that mic close to you.
I just realized that's why I can't hear
you at all.
>> Oh, whoops.
>> Yeah, we talk into microphones in this
household, Missy.
>> Do we?
>> Yeah. Hey, so uh I was going to have
Pennywatch Minority Report today. Does
it hold up?
>> I've definitely heard of it. I know it's
some sort of sci-fi thing.
I've never I have not seen it.
>> Yeah, I think it might be better if you
don't know anything going in.
>> So, don't spoil me, chat.
>> Uh, which
ones
are most promising?
Renee Vanderbeld. YouTube idea. ambient
plane noises to stream to 100%.
>> Drowning it out. They said drowning.
>> Yeah, I don't think that's possible. I I
I think literally it can't be done
because uh even if you try to remove it.
Franken Doppler findal finder now looks
most promising. Its maintainers report
locating the reference recording within
264 meters using a statewide search.
Ear witness would be second choice.
with about 200 m
Dopplerist.
Okay.
Uh
I wonder if it could be synthetic or
recorded. You could just record from a
different location.
Oh, interesting. You could use this
technique. Subtract planes with location
tracking and then see the very few
without tracking. Those will be high
value planes like Air Force One. That's
a great idea. Add that to office hours.
Here we go. Office hours.rogue.com.
That's where you guys can go to put your
ideas for future episodes and more.
There we go. Use Doppler doxing
to find
secret
military
craft.
There we go. We'll make that.
What would that be? Rogue life. There we
go.
And this would be Whose idea was this?
JMR.
Wh I don't know why that came up.
That's hilarious.
Delete that.
Wonder if that [music] doxes me.
Don't use outdoor locations. That's one.
How does it not work indoors?
>> Uh, it can like thunder goes through
walls. He talks about that at the
beginning of the video, but Dopplers
>> cycles go through walls.
Let's see.
Uh,
how good
wood synthetic.
Ah,
anoic chambers. That's where you got a
live stream from.
>> Live stream from those caves with the
fish that have evolved to not have eyes.
>> My inference is that synthetic Doppler
signatures could confuse a detector, but
their effectiveness at a certain at
location protection is untested. Oh,
seems like somebody should test it. A
matcher can reject curves that disagree
with pre-recorded flight paths, sound
travel delays, or other flyovers.
Although such a failed match alone
wouldn't prove that the sound was
fabricated, carefully modeled decoys
might survive those checks, but adding
them could still leave the genuine
location revealing signals recoverable
underneath. So then that would be
what would the requirements
be for
uh for
the chaff to not be detectable.
[laughter]
Chay has a very good point.
>> I was looking on the same I was about to
show the same one. [laughter]
>> That's a pretty good idea.
>> It's a good idea.
>> It would need to remain consistent
across the flight record, sound arrival
timing, multiple flyovers, and the
acoustics of the recording. My inference
is that discrepies, discrepancies in
engine harmonics, wind echoes,
microphone processing
could expose a synthetic addition while
the genuine aircraft traces would still
reveal the location underneath.
Documented matching checks. What?
Yeah. Noise cancel outdoor audio. Again,
I think what we're running into
according to that video is that the the
Doppler signatures just are in the vocal
range.
pump up the volume attack. Yeah, that's
exactly right.
>> Maybe we can look to uh Belgian techno
alpha [laughter] jam for solution.
>> By the way, we are one week away from
the the hit of Thanksgiving 2026. Kunk
on film coming soon.
>> I'm excited. [laughter]
We were just showing Cali the Kunk on
Earth.
>> Yeah. So good.
>> Yeah, it is. All right, let's see
what old stories we have in the dock.
>> Clear.
>> Real dog robot. Is there a chimp inside?
I don't know if I can handle it if
there's a chimp inside.
>> Clear is the programming language where
your specification and imple
implementation are the same file. So,
it's just natural language programming
basically.
Uh, let's see what a live demo. What is
this?
Yeah,
that seems boring. Too boring.
Time to see if there's a chimp inside
that real dog robot.
>> Which dog robot?
>> Someone. One of the links in there. Holy
moly. This wheeled dog robot. Link to
Reddit.
>> Let's see. Oh, that's me. I said this.
>> Oh, you said this.
>> Yeah. Take a look at this. [screaming]
[laughter]
>> This frightens me.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> If I saw this thing approaching me and I
had a baseball bat in my hand, I would
smack it away
>> without a second thought. I would smash
that thing into dust.
>> Yeah. Like,
>> oh my god.
>> Like that's that's what it does shortly
before it does it over your corpse.
>> No, it's scary.
>> Look at that. Right.
>> Oh my gosh.
Oh, it's dancing.
>> Yeah, that's not terrifying at all.
>> It looks like a pluck chicken. Oh my
god. I mean, it looks like global
domination.
>> Oh my god.
>> Yeah. It's getting real weird up in
here.
>> Yep. Wow.
>> Is that bonkers?
>> Yes.
>> Do you Are Are you buying the fact that
it's friend-shaped, so it can't possibly
be bad all that bad?
>> You know what's friendshaped?
>> Friends. Bears.
>> Bears are friend-shaped until they're
not.
>> That's like goat level.
And I don't mean the greatest of all
time. I mean the real scary goats.
>> Yep. The ones that can kill you.
>> Yeah.
>> This thing I fully believe could be a
murder weapon.
>> Uh yeah. Let me see. Oh, can it not? Oh,
>> I think I would only feel safe
confronting this thing if I was in a car
and was able to hit it with my car.
>> Yeah, but your car might be sympathetic.
It's one of them.
>> It's one of them.
>> Like putting wheels at the end of feet
sounds on paper like the dumbest idea on
the planet. And yet it doesn't seem so
dumb looking at this.
So, oh, like that part. That's the move
that terrifies me WHEN IT'S JUST LIKE
looks like a predator.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay.
>> The rears up and it's got its arms. It's
ready to get you.
>> Here's the real question. Do you want to
get one?
>> Look at that. It's break dancing.
>> I don't trust it.
>> Yeah, I know. But I mean,
We have a Y marauder to attack us. It's
fine.
>> Yeah.
Oh, did we talk about I don't think
we've done a in office hours since since
Joy got rabies.
>> She didn't get rabies.
>> We're still within the We're still
within the 45day window.
>> You're holding out hope that the
>> the jury is still out. I'm looking at
her.
>> You're holding out hope.
>> She's got them googly rabbit eyes.
>> She always has some eyes.
>> I don't know. I never really noticed
them until she got rabies.
>> Stop it.
>> I think I don't know.
>> Stop. [laughter]
>> All right.
>> She doesn't have rabies
>> yet, as far as we know. God, that move,
that victory move is terrifying.
>> Chad, I'd like to specify that after she
encountered that animal that we have no
reason to believe had rabies, we did
take her to get a rabies booster
immediately.
>> Yeah. Because we wanted to boost the
rabies that she had. We're like, "How do
we get more rabies?"
>> How do we get more rabies? This is our
plan.
>> These guys get digital rabies.
>> Which would you rather have?
>> Scary. Cuz it is a virus.
>> Which would you rather have, rabies or
scabies?
>> What? What is scabies?
>> You don't know what scabies are?
>> No,
>> I don't know either. Uh, but I know it's
a disease.
>> Well, probably not rabies considering if
you catch it, it's 100% fatal.
>> Yeah. Which is why you should always and
if there's any chance that you might
have been exposed to rabies, you should
get vaccinated immediately.
>> There was a radio lab about the one case
where they seemed
>> emphasis on seemed
>> to be able to not have the person die.
Uh Chay asks, "Yo, I got to ask, is this
wheeled death machine video real? It's
very AI like." Yes, it is, I believe.
Oh, you know what it
does? That music convince you?
[laughter]
>> That sounds like the music of something
that's real.
>> Come on. That's an ad.
No. Uh, I was going to look at the
uh Yeah, this is a coming soon video in
the Singularity subreddit. I assume it's
real.
Let's see.
Yeah, absolutely 100% chance that these
things or some variant sees combat in
the next 5 years. Yeah, I don't see any
reason why not. I mean, unless we can be
bothered to stop killing each other for
20 minutes.
>> Yeah,
>> that might be an interesting move. What
if what? Although Although I am into the
idea that like the cheapest political
move, the cheapest
uh the the safest move in all of our
wars, it should all be robot and robot
violence. It should be
>> uh like
>> like if some if you could crush
someone's robots, then why would their
human stand a chance?
>> Right. Exactly. Like you said everything
you need to say. You don't actually, in
fact, uh, that's, if I ever get around
to
>> writing, if you've defeated someone's
robot army, you already have a gun to
their head.
>> Exactly. It's like, we get it. We get
it. You could if you wanted to.
>> Yeah. JMR says they induce a coma now.
That seems to help. That's the I believe
the story that that we heard.
>> Scary though.
>> But again, I didn't see anything that I
don't that I don't believe robots could
do. Or let me put it this way. Like like
>> you know, I'm sure AI was used in the
design of this, but I don't think this
video is made up.
>> Horrifying. Awesome.
>> Yeah.
>> I mean, okay, think about this.
You know what? So, here's what's going
to happen. We're all going to be soft
little delicate sky creatures in our
cities, and for vacations, we're going
to go out into nature. But nature wants
to kill us. But then imagine all of
these are just waiting in the wings
everywhere. They could come and
>> they could come kill us first.
>> No, they'll save us. I mean, unless they
get hacked. But who's going to want to
hack them?
>> Who's going to want to cause a scam
apocalypse?
>> I'm just saying. Well, the the scam
apocalypse is going to be the greatest
fraudulent distribution of wealth in our
lifetime because there's six billion
people that yet have yet to ever touch
AI and uh an awful lot of them would
like wealthy Westerners money. So, I
fully expect uh we are not ready for the
deceptive arts as as a people. That's
that's my beat. But in terms of physical
security, I don't know. There's just not
a lot of profit in killing humans.
>> Where was I?
>> I guarantee you every single person who
just heard me say that thought of a
particular human that they wanted
[laughter] killed.
>> Yeah.
How long do you think before we see
robotbased political assassinations?
>> Uh, moving right along.
You can discuss this in the Patreon
insider comments. Tata,
>> that video about robot fight club.
>> Yeah.
>> On the dock.
>> Okay. Which of these are the best moves?
The the the running and rolling at once
like that. This terrain is about as
challenging as I could possibly imagine.
>> It's just going
>> and then
[groaning]
>> I think the times when it's dancing are
probably the least impressive.
Like they look good. They look
impressive, but I think it is my
instinct that on an actual technical
level they're the least impressive.
Yeah,
that one. I don't know. The break
dancing doesn't do it for you.
>> I mean, I'm not saying I'm saying it's
effective on me as a viewer, but like if
I were to rank how like intellectually
how much I actually believe these to be
different, difficult, and impressive.
>> Yeah,
>> I would I would think that was more
meant to impress me as a viewer than to
be actually
>> I'll tell you what, G. James B is
saying, "Imagine these on Mars." I'm I'm
here for that. Uh oh man, so many of
these things need to be reset.
Yeah, I'm I'm there for that. When AI
imbreeds, it gets dumb. That's an
interesting question because I think we
are we're getting smart robots training
dumb robots. I was talking to somebody
about this yesterday where it's like a
real problem that we have. Maybe there's
an upside to it. A problem with the
robot stuff is that they tend to give as
they get more efficient, they give more
same same answers at all times. And
that's bad in terms of losing nuance or
whatever, but maybe it's good in in so
far as bringing back some kind of
monoculture.
Is that desirable?
>> Well, here's the thing. When I was a
kid, we could all disagree on our
opinions about the official line, but at
least we all had the same official line
to argue about. Whereas now, we don't
even have the same official line. And it
got real bad over the last 10 years.
Like, it got it got weird. [music]
It got weird dictatorship.
uh you know, first amendment not allowed
not allowed rules.
>> Yeah. I mean, I guess that's been my
entire time I've been aware of anything.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, that was dumb.
>> Like, well, the example I like to give
is that uh before we did the flock lip
reading [music] video, I asked a robot,
multiple robots, can flock cameras read
lips and they all agreed no. And then we
did the video. Then a newspaper article,
a newspaper uh a a blog article came out
about it. And then uh one week later I
asked the same question and the answer
changed like objective truth as people
understood it changed. And I feel like
that's what
>> I have a bit.
>> You have a bit. Tell me your bit.
>> Robot fight club rule zero. Robot fight
club rule one. Robot fight club rule one
zero. Robot fight group club rule one
one. Robot fight club rule one 0.
[laughter] Robot fight club rule 101.
>> Oh, got it. You're doing binary. All
right. Took me a second. Took me a
second. All right.
>> So, what's your verdict?
Uh, how much how much how much
>> if you can get this for Christmas, would
you?
>> No. What would you do with that?
>> I don't know. Well, I'll tell you what I
would do. Here's a legit thing I would
do if if it had a simple appendage.
>> You know what?
>> What?
>> If
if it was ridable, I'd get one of these.
>> Okay, we haven't even gotten to the
ridable ones cuz you're right. That's
why
>> they're pretty awesome.
>> Instead of a horse, this guy could just
Right.
>> Uh this guy ain't going to get spooked
by thunder. Here's the other thing, and
this is a very serious real concern of
mine, which nobody is going to
appreciate. So, Central Texas is poised
to be the biggest mega wildfire in all
of North American history because we
have so much dead fuel all over the
place. And now, fortunately, we don't
have enough sparking conditions and
quite as much drought as California, but
at any moment, we're a tinder box.
[music] Imagine if we bought this one,
just one of these and all it did was
every night it charged up and then it
went out with an appendage and just
grabbed one branch of dead fuel from the
back back acres and then drug it up to
the front in a big old burn pile. Like
then all of a sudden I would definitely
definitely buy that.
>> You know what I want?
>> What? I want robots that you can buy to
sponsor like symbolic adoption style uh
to go out and clean up trash from the
ocean.
There you go. Now, see, this is the
thing. All the things that we think are
bad are often times a failure of our
imagination. I would be so down for a
robotic fish that all does is swim out.
Grab some of that Texas trash. Come on
back. Charges by solar power. Go
register adoptabot.com.
You can put it next to panda-save.com.
Oh my gosh,
that'd be great.
Yeah, I'd be down for it. Is this the
coolest? I I think this might be the
coolest robot. Is there any robot
cooler? We should have a tournament of
robots.
>> Everyone, I each chat member, you get to
submit one unique robot that you want us
to look at. We'll put them in a bracket
and we'll decide who's the coolest and
you can submit your arguments for why
yours is the coolest. JMR says there's a
robot that just scares monkeys away as
his primary job. I want to see this
video.
>> A scare a robo scarecrow.
>> Let I wonder
there. Let's see.
primary job. That's pretty good.
The video is everywhere.
Oh yeah, best darn computers has it. put
that robot on an ambulance stretcher
>> and then just have it go.
We got to get these people safe from
from nature. See, this is the bridge
that's going to make it possible for
humans to leave nature alone, but go
around and play around
in it and then know that we could get
saved. All right, let me do this.
Hang on one second.
Watch on watch on YouTube. Copy. Stop
that. Oh my god. You are not prepared,
Benny.
>> Yes,
>> you are not prepared.
>> Is that what they were talking about?
>> Hold on. Hold on.
This guy looks dope.
>> Is that
>> Let's see. Hold on.
That is
>> it's like it's red eyes.
>> Amazing.
>> Like red eyes are going to be more
effective on animals.
>> Scaring away bears.
Come on. Is scaring away bears the least
sympathetic of
Yes.
Go around. What? You're just sitting
there?
No. No. No. No. No.

How many what?
>> Many feral hogs.
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Get get on that mic.
Have you Have you listened to that
episode of Reply All yet?
>> Yes. That's why that's where I first
encountered that meme and then I saw it
in the wild later.
>> Yeah. It's good. Here we go. We got
>> They say robots and AI are coming for
our jobs. Well, in China, they're
letting robots try their hands in the
octagon. This is the ultimate robot
knockout legend. The world's [music]
first ever professional combat league
for humanoid robots. Unlike the old kids
game, Rockom Sockum robots, these bots
are showing some wild martial arts
moves. One of the robots actually
[laughter] has his head knocked off.
>> They say robots and AI are coming for
our job.
>> Pretty good.
>> Just like not getting hit and then
falling down on its own and then
struggling to get up over and over
again.
>> What was the one that we saw dancing and
it just
>> Yeah, [laughter] it just fell.
That was pretty good. It was pretty
good.
Uh, wait.
I got to play pickle ball. I want to
play pickle ball.
It's finally pickle ball leather.
>> Oh yeah, look at this. I thought this
was interesting.
Genuine animation, no mo cap. So they're
all they're advertising this is Pixar
advertising that they had zero humans
acting in this
or any other performance shortcuts,
which I think that's fine.
at the end of Ratatouille 100% genuine
animation.
So I guess people were hate. So before
we hated on CGI or after we first we
hated on CGI then we wanted our CGI pure
with no humans
then we wanted only humans.
Yeah, we definitely did robot kicks kids
during martial arts show.
Why hasn't Battlebots become an Olympic
event? Boy, you're you're asking me,
man.
I'm with you.
According to this article, this Reddit
poster, it was because of Happy Feet,
which released the year before and used
mocap.
Oh, and it beat Cars. That's hilarious.
>> Oh,
>> wow. How interesting.
Yeah. I'm uh I am here for artistic
clarity of categories. I think that's
the thing is like people have to know
what they're seeing so that they can
process how impressed to be with it.
>> Yeah. Cuz like if you ain't never seen
a fire pit before and somebody's like,
"Look what I made." And you saw just a
fire, you'd be all like, "What the hell?
This is the most amazing thing I've ever
seen in my entire life." And you'd be
right. A fire is a campfire is the best
thing on the planet. But then you would
find out that literally all they did
was, you know, light something on fire.
Yeah.
All right. You got anything else, Penny?
I got to get uh
>> Uh, yeah. The Olympics takes new events
[music] as unofficial sports. Kind of a
try out situation. Yeah, I'd be there
for that. Although,
I mean, I'd rather see chess in the
Olympics first.
Or, you know what? I' I'll settle for
[music] chess boxing. I mean like do a
lot of sports are a lot of sports in the
Olympics. They have football in the
Olympics. Do they have baseball in the
Olympics?
>> They're adding they're adding uh one
would say that the Olympics is all only
sports.
>> No, but do they have like things that
have their own big leagues?
>> Uh yeah, there's hockey, there's there's
uh basketball. They're trying flag
football
>> cuz I was thinking about how chess has
like its own separate competition
structure.
>> Yeah. But but like so when chess
before Deep Blue was the big story,
there was uh uh Kasparov versus Fiser
was the big face off. And the question
is where do you put that story of of
that tournament? Do you put it in the
lifestyle section, in the science
section, or in the sports section? And I
was very much on team. This is the
purest sport. Although sports does imply
a level of of uh athleticism to it.
>> When are they adding esports to the
Olympics?
>> You know what? To be honest, that's
that's legit. But the only question is
you have to have a game that is popular
enough that everyone likes to watch. If
if you ask me, Hearthstone should be on
the Olympics. Poker should be in the
Olympics. Let's have the Olympics for
cornhole should be in the Olympics.
>> Elves before [laughter]
>> air guitar championship should be in the
Olympics. Have you seen any air guitar
championships?
>> I'm not seeing champions.
>> There you go. So, here's a 2011
compilation of
of it.
Oh, no. We're going to have to we're
going to have to play.
>> You know what should be in the Olympics?
Competitive dog dancing.
>> Yeah. If it's good enough.
>> It's great. I love it. They choreograph
the dancers and dogs.
>> So, here's the thing about [music] air
guitar championships is the good ones
are secretly magic routines. like they
they're doing [music] quick changes and
they're uh there's this one dude that's
got these outrageous sunglasses and he
reaches up and he pulls off his
outrageous [music] sunglasses to reveal
other sunglasses underneath.
>> I would think air guitar would involve
looking like they were actually playing
the guitar.
>> Yeah. Well, what about that chest hair?
>> They don't they're not moving their
hands like it's a real guitar.
>> Yeah. I don't know.
Yeah, this is not
the best
[laughter] advertisement, I don't think.
[music]
Oh, yeah. There's also some mimming.
They'll throw up the guitar and then
they'll catch it later and stuff.
There's good ones.
Yeah.
Yeah. Male nipples.
Can't be any worse than the break dance
competition at the Olympics. TAC for the
Olympics. Hell yeah. Plan for survival.
