Very good?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
My cat is very excited today, keep trying to get off.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I love it. I can't wait. I love when the
blur is on and you can see that something's going on.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
It's good, but it's a mystery.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
So you won't see my cat knocking everything off the table, but.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
He can go past that. I don't know why I
turned to the I had the blur on for a while.
I turned the blur off and I was doing like
a zoom yoga class the other day, brag. But my
dog was fully sucking himself off and for like half
the classic. For some reason, I was like, I'm blurred.
He can suck from salt, but it was full a
(07:42):
yoga move. That is It's true, you ugly clutch, but
you can't do this, It's true.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, I think that's.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Something we can't suck ourselves.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, that is their great advantage over all of us.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
After you turn thirty five, it's a way harder to
suck yourself off here.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
That's what they were saying in your yoga class. And
as we know, one at a time, one vertebrate at
a time. God, I can't I and I can totally
roll myself up, one vertebrae at a time. And that's
something you should know about me. Is I know what
that means when they say that, and I do it
every time.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I I do the thing where you just eventually collapse.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah, I just have like a straight backbone that just
like I got. I can't roll it up one at
a time. It's I think it's in two parts. Maybe. Yeah,
it's built like a flip foam.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, body like.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
A flip, body like a flip phone, body like a flip.
All right, Molly, we're gonna get to know you a
little bit better, and my first we're going to tell
the listeners a couple of the things we're talking about.
Say what you will about facial recognition software and here
(09:09):
here on this podcast, we're big fans, but it does.
It has presented us with a fun new thing where
you can find your doppelganger. So there's somebody who's doppelganger
has been found in Indiana and like it was causing
all sorts of health for them, and that's going viral.
So we're going to talk about that exciting new angle
of facial recognition software. We're going to talk about Emily Hart,
(09:34):
who is a fast rising mega influencer who it was
just revealed, is a medical student in India who was like, yeah,
I needed to pay my way through medical school, so
he just did like three queries into an AI and
they were like, here, this is a person who will
get three to ten million views on each reel. So
(09:58):
we'll talk about that, and then we will talk about
the reclassification of marijuana, potentially making it uncool forever. The
Trump administration has reclassified marijuana. All that plenty more. But first, Molly,
we do like to ask our guests, what is something
from your search history that's revealing about who you are.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Look, I'm not gonna pretend I was looking up something cool.
I've been reading the Summer House Reddit.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Uh huh, oh, anything good?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
I mean, I don't know if you guys are embroiled
in the Summerhouse.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I need to know the latest, because I just got
the very basics as it was happening, and then we
kind of dropped it for a minute, so we say
some stranger things, conspiracies. I guess it.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Seems like they went back in and edited the remaining
episodes of the season to pay more attention to the
possible infidelity that was happening between Amanda and West. This
is married to Kyle, the main the number one guy
on the show.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, it's like two couples who were people were already
interested in and then basically the.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Main couple on the show has been getting heading towards divorce.
But this was the scandal is that the wife was
having an affair with one of the other guys on
the show. Wasn't revealed until recently. Now they're going back
and re editing the rest of the episodes to to
shine more light on that. So what they've done is
(11:32):
just put in a bunch of scary music.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Okay, nothing.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Was like they show the characters talking, and then this
week they started playing this like weird cello music that was.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Like do do do do?
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Like?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Oh so.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Dies us?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I mean that was royalty free for sure, that's right.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I love when someone drops a royalty free hit like
good for you, Good for you.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
That's like they put it over a scene that would
otherwise not play ominous if you didn't have this new information,
and they made it it became ominous.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Well, I mean, I love being told how to feel.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I think I mean that oh yeah, please lead me
by my nose. Yeah, but whatever you need yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Please okay, manipulate me into feeling are.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
You like do you have? I mean it seems like
pretty uncontroversial. Just everybody hates the couple that cheated and
like they already kind of hated them, and so this
just it's sort of a vander Pump Rules sitch, right
where like everybody already the scandabal.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Not to get to in the weeds here, but it's
more complicated. There's some racial elements of it, some racism.
The person that got sort of lied to and screwed
over who's not the husband, is her name Sierra, and
she's sort of the hero of the show, right, But
basically there's just a lot of her telling this guy
like I'm worried you're gonna humiliate me again, and please
(13:09):
don't do that, and he's like, oh, of course I
would never do that. I would never embarrass you.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Kidding right now saying that that I would do that,
Like that's actually fucked up, Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
And then that's when the cellow music comes in to
be like do do do do do do?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I wonder if he'll betray the spoiler alert he sucks.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, but yeah is his name.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
He he's a New York fuck boy who has a
food eating TikTok where he's like, damn, this cheeseburger hits.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Yeah, that's his whole thing. Is it like generational wealth
Like no, no, he works for complex so.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
It's just like gaming the algorithm type of content.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yeah, and he everyone's he's just like not great to women,
but he Everyone's like, oh, it's because he was a
D one athlete.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
There's no way around it.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Not that hot or anything, Like where's he getting this
crazy ass confidence over confidence?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
And everyone's like, oh, he's a D one athlete. I
think that name West also is not helping things. I
think that's the sort of name that gives you like.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Really yeah, it does seem like every possible red flag
is already there. Also, this is beside the point, but
it is like truly stunning to me how many self
identifying food and influencers like their content boils down to
like yummy and my tummy like it, thank you, and
you're like that's it. And then they're like they're like,
(14:47):
I've been nominated for a James Beard.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Weird say anything about the food that decides that it's good,
which is they're.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Being pain to be tall say it's good. You can't.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Everything becomes an adjective where they're like, so sandwich y
m h god, I know.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
It's giving sandwich sandwiches.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Oh okay, Look, millennials catch a lot of heat for
that kind of ship. But I will say gen Z
is also fully doing it.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
They're they're being too cute and they're just everyone's finding
their brain dead.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Bullshit, Leave me by the nose, you know what, though,
the way the world is, sometimes you need a yummy sandwich. Yeah,
but keep it to yourself. That's what I say. Keep
it to yourself at yummy and my tummy teeth.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I just want to watch someone else do it. I'm
a sandwich cock.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yeah, well that's what Summerhouse is about.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
That's right, sandwich cocks. What is something that you think
is underrated? Molly?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
All right, I'm gonna go my overrated first and then underrated.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Hey, Molly, what's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Overrated? I think new television and movies are overrated? New television, yeah,
just everything new? Who needs new stuff? We made enough stuff.
Stop making it underrated. And this will be a controversial
underrated because nobody would ever say this is underrated. Sesame
(16:26):
Street you can watch on t B now. Oh, you
can watch the entire run of Sesame Street.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
To be general is underrated?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah, to be.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Maybe that's the overrated, overrated prestige streamers underrated to b yeah,
the people streamer if you're willing to watch, uh the
same for Breeze commercial four times in a row, every
twenty minutes, and I am, is it the one that
is la yeah, yeah, la la.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yes, And it's all like, I mean, I'm sure that
there's different ones, but I always get the one where
the mother is like, my son smells like shit, but
look then she just like Nukes's room with Fabrize.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
It's funny how ads have never changed. They just like
change update the slang a little bit. Yeah, they're like
my disgusting soy cook son is slime maxing in his room.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I didn't know that the whole run is available on
to me. That's incredible.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
That's incredible. You never need to watch anything else except
for Sesame Street. You can see the origin stories of
all the characters. How did Big Bird and Slimy Meat
find out? You get Slimy Slimy the Worm?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Oh, come on, come on, Jack. I love every once
in a while one will like end up in my
feed or I'll like, I don't know, just think of
one all of the like I missed the experimental animation
that used to be on all the time, Like I
don't know, they were giving the coolest people like PBS
(18:04):
money to do whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
It was so beautiful. It was it was like invented
by people who were doing a lot of LSD too,
and like it looks like it in the early days.
It really has that energy. Bring back LSD on children's television.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Did you guys see the video with Elmo and Robby Yourseff. Yeah,
that was also heartwarming to me, very cute.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
It was beautiful and every single example of him responding
to right with backlash is very funny.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
They did have Elmo respond yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Almost should Yeah, put your money where your mouth is, Elmo?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
What is? How did they drop Elmo? Like did you
do you? Are you guys aware of his origin story
because Elmo came out like in the nineties right like
he was after.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yeah, was just kind of dropped in. They're like, here's
our new friend Elmo.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was. I think he was
like developed to speak to like I think sub preschoolers specifically,
and then he got so famous. I remember as a
kid being like Elmo's world wasn't on when I was
really little, but it was on when my brother was
really little, and the feeling in the household was this,
(19:19):
mf is getting too much screen time.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
He was getting too No, it was like many are saying.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Me and sometimes my dad bring back Grover the neurotic
mis and prope.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yes, I think a Prairie Dawn recently they ditched so
many people to make space.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
You have skord of a Prairie dawn energy.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Obviously, I love.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Her Jack kind of a Kermit.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Thank you. That's very nice of you. I think there's
a lot of I think there are more Kermit people
out there.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
But if you've ever hosted anything, yeah, yeah, that's true,
that Kermit energy.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, I think. Yeah, I think Kermit is deep down
very influential, like in the like a lot of people's
entire personalities. There's like a whole genre of human that
is like kermity.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
And they all got bodies like a flip phone.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
We all got bodies Like that's right where I learned
how to move from, where I learned how to ride
a bike.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, no spinal cord on that time.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Victor, thank you very much. Victor said, I got that
frog in me that's big Frog gotta eat you know.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Mm hmmm mm hmm, yeah, sure, why the hell not?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I also, yeah, I appreciate your point on new television.
I just feel like there's too many movies to ever
run out of good movies to be watching.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
I mean, look, I watched Taxi, the Seven Do sitcom.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Wow, so there's old TV too. Is what is what
you're telling me I need to do?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
And you know what, a lot of it's better than
new TV. I do say something I call the Gabba
gul test, which is like the Bechdel test, but it's like,
will this be better than the Sopranos?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Oh, that's an unfair hard stick to you.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Are you like kind of meet like one foot out
on the Sopranos?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Or test? Is is this going to be better than
the Sopranos?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
If not, why are I just watching the Sopranos over
and over again? Correct? There you go.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I learned not to. I don't. It might be over
by now, but my uh, my friend was talking about
I guess. For a long time it was really hard
to find the Drew Carey Show streaming or anything like that.
And at some point the Drew Carrey Show made an
official YouTube account and was doing something called drew Drops
and like three times a week at the same time,
(22:01):
they would like upload Most of the Drew Carrey Show
is now on YouTube for free, but they did this
like really fun slow roll out where there would be
people watching live for drew Drops for like an episode
that aired twenty five years ago.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
But that's because I almost brought up the Drew Carrey
Show earlier because you were talking about how Cleveland rocks.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
It's Ohio. I always loved the way they ended that
song by just screaming, oh.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
I didn't watch that show when it came out, but
the drew Drops have really like I was missing out.
It's really good.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
The people yearn for sitcoms.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
They do, they do, and and we won't We'll never
get them again.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
But this is what I've been noticing is like YouTube
comedy cruise, you know, where it's like they start, they
just keep getting bigger and bigger until finally they're an ensemble.
And I'm like, it's because the people yearn for sitcoms.
This right here what we're doing workplace comedy.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
We're yearning three cameras on us.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
It was like one of those COVID era shows where
they're like, what if everyone's on zoom.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
We have a laugh track. They're just very quiet. They're
not they're not feeling us at all. But if we
do have a laugh track, all right. So, if if
you had to recommend an old TV show that I
can catch up on, it would be Sesame Street. It
would be.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Fun to see how the characters looked at first. Oscar
was orange to beginning, Oh I forgot about that, briefore orange.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah, that's crazy. Changes everything really you think about.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
It, nothing is the same.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back
and we'll talk about some news. We'll be right back.
And we're back, and we just got some breaking news
over the I hop to see you all there.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I hope to see you all at the Shrek twenty
five screening at the AMC Burbank.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
So Shrek is coming up on its twenty fifth anniversary
and they're just re releasing it in theaters.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Just they'll do that for kind of any movie now,
which I appreciate. I'm like, I've seen a lot of
movies that I missed, like for the real like I
for like ten years ago or whatever. It's just we're
going back to re releasing stuff. It's nice and it
also supports your theory, Molly. If we don't need new movies,
we don't need to re release the old ones.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
I just want to see Cape Fear, the Scorsese movie.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
There You Go, There You Go?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Is that back out like wide or that was just
like a yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I think it's because there's like an Apple Show remake,
And you know what, I don't need the remake because
I got the original.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Don't you want to know the lore though, the prequel
to Cape Fear? The fuck?
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Don't you want to know how he got that crazy hair?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Why he found that movie so funny? Well?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
You know what that part where he finds the movie
so funny? Do you know what movie it is?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Oh? Wait, I do. I can't remember it, but it's like, yes,
problem child.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
And I don't know if the IMDb trivia is accurate,
but it claimed that he just DeNiro just started laughing
genuinely a problem child, And it wasn't in the script.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
That's a sick person would laughing problem So what was
the point of that sketch going to be? What was
the point of that scene?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
See, he's going to be that he's just there being
creepy smoking a cigar. Allegedly, he genuinely just started, what
if I did something even creeping.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
You you would be two of the most interesting people
to talk to about this because during during our Icon
episode about Bart Simpson, I was realizing that there was
this like moment in the early nineties that was like
the problem Child moment where everybody like Bart Simpson, Kevin
McAllister from Home Alone, problem the problem child himself. But
(26:13):
then like even like they were like Terminator two great,
like we have this amazing premise, We're gonna put like
a Bart Simpson character in the middle of it. It's
gonna be like get out of here, dude, no way, bro,
that sucks. But yeah, it was this weird moment in
the early nineties where everyone was just like we our
(26:35):
main obsession is nine to twelve year old boys who
are assholes.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Rather rude dududes.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Shirts, yeahs who buys those T shirts? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
It was Elbarto.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I do feel like, I mean, maybe it's just like
nostalgia bias, but it did feel like the kids were
especially Quippi during that time, and then that sort of
that sort of gave way to one of my least
favorite kinds of movie kids, which is like the Sun
Dance movie kid who is not a problem child at
all and is uniquely wise and has to tell Joseph
(27:13):
Gordon Levitt how to treat women or whatever. That one
is not as fun.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
They were like, what if this character who's basically like
a Yoday wise character, what if it was a five
year old.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Girl exactly exactly. We want kids who shred and and tag.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah. It was kind of the lead edge of the
extreme sports movement.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Love sunglasses, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, yeah, those are those are the days. A lot
of a lot of fluorescent clothing and sick nerve, gunb battles.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Jeans great, tear away jeans, Tara or tear away pants
in general, like tear away jeans.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
You know sometimes jeans be stifling you.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Nothing that I've ever wanted to tear away more than
that I'm wearing. All right, let's talk about phacial recognition software.
We're all pro. I don't even have to ask you, guys.
We love it. We love it here at the Daily's case.
But the all right, so Breaking News Indiana's DMV is
(28:21):
called the BMV, which is just silly. Yeah, it's bureau
instead of department, would be my guest apartment, apartment of
motor vehicles. They flagged a Indiana woman named Erica Brown's
driver's license renewal photo for potential fraud because it too
closely matched another woman's photo of the same age, who
(28:44):
also lives in Indiana, And the side by side of
the two pictures is going around. They do look very similar,
and she shared it on social media and everyone's like, whoa,
And now she's going viral, Like the pictures are going viral,
Like I don't think she's found the other person yet,
so that's gotta be weird for them to be like
famous for being this person's dppel ganger. But I think
(29:09):
the reason this is like going viral is because it
is like, I like, have you guys ever seen a
dappelganger of yourself? Like out there?
Speaker 3 (29:21):
I mean, I'm always Yeah, somebody sent me one recently
and I was like, oh, yeah, totally. It was a
picture of Melissa Offtemer from Hole in the nineties with
Drew Barrymore and they were like, I thought this was
you And I was like, oh that, I thought that
was me too.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Now, yeah, Jack, do you have fun.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Yeah, I've had a bunch. There's like a ton of
people out there who look identical to me. Scary it is,
it's really weird.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
I have one that I like. I just found the
article I wrote ten years ago God about a woman
who looked exactly like me when she he was like fourteen,
only as adults we looked very dissimilar. But yeah, it's
every time of a very particular episode of Law and Order.
(30:11):
SPU what air I would get text being like, hey,
you look like this. It's like a child who's being cyberboyd.
I'll I'll put it in the chat.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
But it's also kind of your energy. Yeah, yeah, totally.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
There's a lot of Order people have sent me because
they there's a stripper named Molly Lambert in it, and
so there's a bunch of iced tea being like, Molly Lambert,
she's got a Toyota Corolla, she sounds.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Awesome, or this has to be a plot of law.
I have a.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Horrible Google ganger I just got if you don't mind,
if I bring the whole mood down. Someone sent me
a story from people dot com that was about someone
whose name was Molly Lambert, and it was like Molly
Lambert thought she was a pedophile because she kept having
intrusive thoughts about pet that she might be a pedophile.
(31:09):
But it turns out she just had this special type
of o c D that makes you worried you're a pedophile.
Maria Banford has that really. M Also, my friend was like, oh,
that's in my OCD workshop. But for some reason they
published an article in People about this, like twenty two
year old named Molly Lambert.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Is she?
Speaker 3 (31:28):
And I was like, ooh, following you, I have to
go around being like, well, she's not actually a pedophile.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
This is an intrusive thought.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Yeah, she's just worried. Katie Natopolis for sending me that
and horrify She said she saw it on facebo you
did she you you? She was sorry, I saw this
on Facebook and had to send it to you.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Yeah. I just think this is an experience everybody's had
and now are going to like want to use facial recognition.
Like I feel like if they productize this and they're like, hey,
we'll find your we'll find your doppelganger, like like you
can reach out to them like that, that will be
a thing.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah, it's all also not to be a bummer, but
it's all very like scary. I don't know, every like,
uh facial recognition story is so terrifying to me, especially
because like these are two women of color that like, yes,
facial facial recognition software is uniquely bad at like recognizing
(32:35):
and understanding because of the data that they have. It
just like I don't know, CUTI cutifying this technology like
it makes sense that it's happening and it's like no
fault of like the woman that's happening too, like make
lemonade go nuts. But it just it just freaks me
out because this is something that I mean, even with
(32:56):
certain whatever like trends that go around, like it's just
trying to have you voluntarily hand over more data sets,
and it makes I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Oh yeah, like when everybody was like when they were
like post pictures of yourself from this year, this year
and this year, and it was like Broye the train
in the the train in the AI.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Yeah, and like like yeah, yeah, like those those it
makes me feel so conspiratorial. But I totally believe that
those trends, uh like are a way to get data
sets on how people look as they age.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Yeah, for sure, they are Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
And also I totally get that it's fun. I don't know,
I had to.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Like it's like, how do people just have old photos
of themselves, like on hand, like that my photos go
back to when I got this phone after the last died.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Same but everybody else pictures of me in college, like
here's my seventh grade like me every day in seventh
grade that I have stand in like a high quality.
I like, I have no idea what I look like.
I did look like Ralph Maccio and I did like young,
young Ralph Machio.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
That's actually I had another doppel ganger.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yeah, I was a choppel ganger of Ralph Machia. That
that phrase is trending or word is trending. That is
someone who looks like someone else but uglier. But I
was a chopped doppelganger of Ralph Maccia in seventh grade.
But yeah, it does feel a little bit like those
like fun apps when they were first just being like, yeah,
(34:31):
we can show you what you would look like as
a boy, or you know, what you looked like when
what you'll look like when you're ninety, Like they were
doing that at my kids' school. They were like this
fun piece of technology where we'll show them as old people.
And now, yeah, it seemed paranoid at the time to
be like this is bad. And now like Pallenteer is
(34:52):
issuing like these manifestos, being like we should get to
decide if you get killed and yeah, so yeah, I think.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
All we are putting your if your face is symmetrical
into the the decide if you die machine.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah. Katie Golden wrote this story and she was pointing
out like also, it's just like if we if we're
turning law enforce and stuff over to these things, like
they're not gonna like this was. This was just because
like it was a license the like application, Like you
can totally see a world where they're like, yeah, tell
(35:31):
it to the judge, Oh sure, you look like somebody else,
and it's like everybody has that experience, but like this
technology does not make room for it in any way.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Yeah, like what is the I don't know the consequences are.
So I read a book a couple years ago, Brave Again.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Uh, that's it.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
You just read guys like that, you know, thank you.
But it's called more than a glitch that like sort
of breaks down all of the I mean it's if
you haven't like gotten into like all of the ways
that AI is attacking people in very particular ways, and
like facial recognition specifically, I'd recommend it call more than
(36:15):
a glitch by Meredith Brossard.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
All right, speaking of AI in ways that it's attacking us,
there's more cool. Yeah. We got another one from Wired
did an article about this influencer who is line goes
up in big time on Instagram and all the social
media platforms. Her name is Emily Hart and she is
a blonde woman who loves wearing bikinis, drinking beers, and
(36:43):
shooting guns and you know, pledging allegiance to Donald Trump.
Oh and exist and she don't exist. Her fien mixed
bikini shots with pro Trump content, gun photos and captions
like Christ is King, abortion is murder, and all illegals
must be deported. Instagram's algorithm devoured the content. Individual reels
(37:06):
hit three to ten million views each And it turns
out it was this dude who was like, how do
I pay my way through medical school in India? And
he just put queries into Gemini, and Gemini was like,
let me handle this for you. Like it was literally
like he was like, how can I like make money marketing?
(37:27):
They're like, try to becoming a MAGA influencer by making
up a attractive blonde.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Woman, fascist woman.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Yeah, yeah, my god, it's like weird science.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Yes, it's exactly like weird science.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
They're like put like boo.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Boo boop, hot terrible lady.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
God.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
It's also worth noting that the you know, I don't
I don't pay for a Wired subscription. So I got
this like summary of the Wired article on Yahoo, and
I'm pretty sure it was also AI because I'm just
going to read you the first sentence of the article
Google's Gemini. AI didn't helped a twenty two year old
(38:07):
Indian medical student create content Comma Capital. It also served
up the playbook for weaponizing American political divisions. Sick didn't helped,
you know, Yeah, so I think it's just AI all
the way down, and like this is the article is
also not like Jesus Christ, like what do we It's
just like and this is sick this thing. Yeah yeah,
(38:32):
look at this trend in marketing.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Yeah. The fact that both of these AI stories are
kind of it sounds like kind of being framed as
like human interest pieces. Is such a bummer. How did
how did he get caught? I mean outside of I
think it's.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
Just pretty immediately yeah, yeah, I mean I saw something.
I don't know if it was the same person, but
it was. Yeah, just like like there's like an army girl.
If not the same thing, there's one who's like, I'm
in the army and here's all my guns.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Is very common.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Yeah, I think it's just like a type of marketing.
It's like those hot girls of the IDF propaganda accounts,
but like, yeah, just making up some girls.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
But this one interesting is that it was created out
of desperation, dude, an educational.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Debt and yeah, that is that's called hustle, that's called
that is the thing. I will say that's incredibly The
most depressing aspect of this type of thing is you
look in the comments and everybody's like, I love you
pretty lady.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Of the article about how she's feeling.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
No, just like in the comments of the AI girls,
people are just like, you're so beautiful, I want to
meet you.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Tell me.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
And I'm not convinced. I'm not convinced that. Like I'd
be curious how many of those moments are real too,
because you're just like totally true. Yeah, there's just like
bots on bots, the spots on bots, HiT's.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Bots, empty universe of bots, like chirping back and forth.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
It's like the dog self suck of bots.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
But guys, we're ready to pivot to video again. Real
people are definitely watching it.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
I know it. I know it. The consumption on this
stuff crazy.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
I saw another thing like that too, that was about
people who are licensing like AI doppelgangers of themselves to
do stuff. One of them was Andy Cohen from Bravo.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Oh Wow, do like to go like be a spokesperson
for something, to.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
Like make videos that you don't have to actually.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
Make maybe yeah, appear in maybe to.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
Come on the podcast. They you can just pretend.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
I wonder how many of our guests I have like
two that I could guess at, but I won't. But well,
you're going over the course of two thousand episodes, there
are two guests that I'd be.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
Like, oh, oh, that wasn't a real person.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
I will occasionally get these like almost certainly written using AI.
Maybe from a real person. Hard to say, but like
every once in a while I'll get emails from different
versions of like the same offered service where they're like, Hey, Jamie,
do you want to be on more podcasts? If you
pay me two hundred dollars today, I'll make sure that
(41:30):
you make five podcast appearances in the next two weeks.
And you're like, first of all, I would rather I
would sooner die, Like how dare you? But I think
it just feels like another like the way the Internet
feels like such a volume game because we're uh, you know,
(41:50):
fighting bots and all this other shit where it's like
it doesn't matter if what we're making is good. It
just matters that there's a lot of it. And so
they're like, who gives a shit what you're talking about?
Who gives a shit? If you're promote do something? Give
me two hundred dollars and you I can guarantee you'll
have the worst two weeks of your life. Your life.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
They've identified that the thing you need help with is
breaking into the pot.
Speaker 3 (42:15):
Yeah, you got to get booked on more podcasts.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
Crack the podcast industry so bizarre? Oh man, Uh all right,
let's uh, let's take a quick break. We'll come back.
We'll talk about Mary Jane, the old Mary Jane. We'll
be right back.
Speaker 2 (42:47):
And we're back.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
And as I was talking about being a chopel ganger
justin chime, didn't I missed it that one of my
coworkers back at Cracked, like what worked for the company
that was like always treated cracked like, oh that's cute.
They have like a little humor magazine, which was good
because they kind of left us alone. But she, for
(43:11):
like a week was coming in and was like, God,
there is an actor who you look exactly like like exactly,
and I can't can't figure it out. And then like
one day was like I got it, and like other
people were like trying to help with us, just like
I got it. It's Walton Goggins. Like not that many
(43:33):
people were like what are you talking about? Oh okay,
like when he was unjustified, Yeah, when he was unjustified, before.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
Everybody knew who Walton Goggins was.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
So you've gotten to.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
Follow his career and be like, yeah, that's my boy.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
Hell yeah, it's my guy right there. I'll take Goggins.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
I'll take anytime. I truly, just like anytime you're about
to tell someone they look like someone else, really think.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
About it, pause and reflect it, even if you think
it might be flattering. Just you don't know, You really
don't know.
Speaker 1 (44:08):
You really don't want to get to make it happen,
to make it real, you know, get bigger mouth of teeth,
teeth look fake already. That's so kind of you, like
real big, real big boys.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
Yeah, you can get the surgery for your legs, but
for your teeth, taller teeth. You could do Uncle baby
Billy for I know, great costume.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
That would be a good costume. It would be a
lot of work or not.
Speaker 3 (44:41):
Right, No, not with this fat You're dead finished saying face,
because I was. That's how clear it was.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
Not with this as we fast for face. Let's talk
about weed. Donald Trump has officially reclassified marijuana aka the
Devil's letice, moving it from Schedule one, which you may
know is the home of lsd M d M a
(45:14):
synthetic opioids, to Schedule three, which is ketamine, anabolic steroids,
and testosterone.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
Woa, what is what's two?
Speaker 1 (45:25):
I don't know? Jumped too, Yeah, this is being treated
as like man Trump, I guess, I guess broken clock
is right, once once a day type thing. And it
is true that like he also did something with hallucinogens earlier,
like I think last week where he was helping deschedule
(45:48):
those or like make those easier to research, which I
think is like good and it's truly like I think
his presidency is just like a game of Plinko or
you know, like it's just whatever whoever happens to bribe
or flatter him that day gets gets the thing, and
(46:09):
like sometimes it will be good.
Speaker 3 (46:11):
It's definitely like whoever he speaks to the last is
who he repeats.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
I'm also wondering, like I don't know very much about
the like weed industry, but if it's like how connected
it is to just like how extremely profitable it is
now where it's like that's the broken clock thing is
that like you can make a lot of money by
selling it and regulating the prices and stuff.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
Jamie, it's almost like you've you've been living in this
country for a while, because yeah, so I would say
this one is way more about that than anything else.
Like there's well, it's not because he's cool, Like definitely
not that he specifically said, unless pot is recommended by
(46:59):
a doctor for medical reasons, just don't do it. Really
is giving sober people such a bad name. People who
don't drink or do drugs and like drink diet coke.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
Sober people diet coke.
Speaker 3 (47:13):
Trump is like you know how people are a dry drunk. Yes,
that's right, a dry coke head.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Yeah, although except he is on stimulants at all.
Speaker 3 (47:23):
Okay, yeah, he's just a regular coke regular coke had
dry drunk.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
Yeah. I do love how many different names rich people
have for metha.
Speaker 3 (47:35):
I will say the President of America is always on speed.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
Yes, yeah, regardless of political affiliation. Like JFK was on
on speed.
Speaker 1 (47:44):
Yeah. We talked about that a lot, and like randomly
in the carry.
Speaker 2 (47:46):
Fisher, I was literally from you.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
Yeah, her dad was being injected by the same person
who injected and Elvis like speed and like I literally
did the thing that like eighties info infome or p
s as like told us drug dealers we do where
they he like tricked people and they like do it.
Speaker 3 (48:08):
It's all vitamins viamins.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
Yeah yeah, and then they would be like, holy shit,
I feel better than I've ever felt. These vitamins are
good anyways. Yes, presidents are always on speed. That's that's
why they age so badly. It's like we're like, man,
they work so hard. It's like, no, they haven't slept
in fucking four years because essentially on meth. Like, wow,
(48:33):
fucking Obama's teeth are falling out. He's working so hard.
It's like, you know, he's flying on meth. But uh so,
the financial reason for this legislation is that weed companies
cannot currently apply for the usual tax deductions because they're
technically still illegal drug traffickers. And the one thing you
(48:57):
do need when you're when you're gonna invet like billions
of dollars in something is you need to be able
to not pay taxes on any of your earnings in America,
Like you gotta get those loopholes. And so he has
been the target of an aggressive Donald Trump has been
the target of an aggressive lobbying campaign from cannabis company,
(49:17):
specifically his pal Howard Kessler and Kim Rivers, the CEO
of True Leave t r U l I e Ve
Sure True Leave, which is the dispensary company that stated
goal is to be the Starbucks of wheed.
Speaker 2 (49:36):
God, yeah, weed, it hasn't been cool for a long time.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
I fucking sucks.
Speaker 2 (49:43):
Oh that's such a bummer. I got high for the
first time in forever over the weekend completely by mistake.
Speaker 1 (49:52):
WHOA what happened?
Speaker 2 (49:54):
Well, because I don't I don't like I'm genuinely uncool.
I don't like the feeling of being high. It freaks
me out. Me too, I like wine from the gas
station and that's about it. But but yeah, I like accepted,
I can do like a low like a low gummy.
I can do that, and uh, an older woman and
(50:15):
this is me being judgmental. A woman my mother's age
offered me a gummy and I was like, I'm not
going to ask a question about it. It's probably like
a low vibe. And then for the next like fourteen hours,
I was out of my fucking mind.
Speaker 1 (50:30):
It was bad.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
She drove home on one of those I was like, fuck.
Speaker 3 (50:41):
Did she put a gun to your hat? And she
was like four twenty plase it, bitch.
Speaker 2 (50:46):
It was four twenty eve. I wasn't thinking hard enough.
I was not familiar with her game, but she like,
I was like my I was like, my, well, I
won't say, but I was just like, wow, this like
beloved family friend made an attempt on my life today.
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (51:04):
You're probably gonna want to be out of your mind
for the next fourteen hours. Here you go like a
fucking breath mint.
Speaker 2 (51:12):
It's the worst case scenario of being high, where you
wake up the next morning and you're like, it's not over.
Speaker 1 (51:20):
Is this just what my life is for now? I
feel that way every time I get sick or anytime
I would get high, I would be like, it's never
gonna end. This is just what my life is from
now on.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
Horrible.
Speaker 1 (51:32):
Anyways, they contributed seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars to
is inaugural Committee, another two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
to American Rights and Reform, which is a superpack that
funneled a million dollars to Trump superpack, and he when
he signed the executive order, he admitted he was like,
I've never been inundated by so many people as I
(51:54):
have about reclassifying now. So he's just like, yeah, I'm
doing this because people are bing me.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
I'm sure he's doing it because he's such an eighties man.
It's just I know, right, yeah, the war on drug
War on drugs coded.
Speaker 1 (52:07):
Yeah, yeah, like I thought, yeah, you'd be more likely
to like seek the death penalty.
Speaker 2 (52:13):
For Nancy's rolling in her grave.
Speaker 3 (52:16):
Because he's Trump getting into like ketamine.
Speaker 2 (52:19):
Oh, like you got to hear about this, give it
to dogs, he would call. Yeah, he's definitely not. I
mean he's historically not opposed to drugs intended for animals.
Speaker 1 (52:31):
No, yeah, yeah, yeah. And and sudafed. I love the
fact that he was just abusing pseudo fed. I mean,
you can get crazy on sudafed and he has, but
uh he yeah. So basically, the way this is structured
is it will specifically help corporations who are trying to
(52:52):
make like a billion dollars off of weed sales. It
will not immediately legalize marijuana affect the sentences of those
incarcerated for.
Speaker 3 (53:01):
Position right, like, it will not have it what I
was saying there probably weighing it against for profit prison
profits being like right, but uh yeah, you don't want
to buy weed from the Trump endorsed weed store, I know, no, really.
Speaker 2 (53:17):
Like most wheat stores.
Speaker 1 (53:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (53:20):
I mean, I honestly, I'm always like, do you think
weed like old old timey weed dealing is going to
come back? I think it probably will because it's like
the prices at the places that seldom are like ridiculous.
I will say, I smoke the cheapest weed, and it
has gotten so cheap that sometimes I am like, wow,
(53:40):
I used to pay so much more money for less
good weed.
Speaker 1 (53:44):
So like the dealer stuff has gotten cheaper as the
baby boomers have like started just like going into star
we weed Starbucks.
Speaker 3 (53:53):
Well, baby boomers are always saying the weed has gotten
too strong. That's what I hear from from the boomers
who smoke in my life is the weed is too strong.
It used to not be so strong, and now they've
like and I'm always like, you can just buy the
cheap stuff and it's not as strong. Like I do
agree with them that the weed is like sometimes I
(54:13):
don't want the weed that's too strong, you know, like
the stuff where it's like there's resin in the weed and.
Speaker 2 (54:20):
Took it off a dab rag or whatever.
Speaker 3 (54:23):
Yeah, I'm like, I don't I don't want to be
I don't want to be on Mars.
Speaker 1 (54:28):
Yeah, it's uh, his reclassification won't help people. And also
like one of the biggest did you know that? Do
you know? The Glasshouse Farms is like the place what
one of the biggest weed companies. They're co founded by
informer l A cop.
Speaker 3 (54:47):
Sick cool and well, you know, all cops are just criminals.
Speaker 1 (54:51):
I know that's.
Speaker 2 (54:52):
Right, and for once someone's doing something, but also.
Speaker 3 (54:56):
The corporate weed guys are all criminals too. I work
on a magazine for a briefly for a corporate weed
company whose name I won't say, but it was one
of the big ones, and then they had a huge
scandal where they all.
Speaker 2 (55:12):
Got shut down. Yeah, it's like any time. Yeah, it's
like anytime there's a sort of like tech financier, it's
that all of a sudden decides like, oh, I'm going
to just basically like colonize this industry and make everything
that could have been cool about it horrible.
Speaker 1 (55:29):
Yeah. So anyways, not as cool as it seems at first,
which you probably could tell because it was being done
by dumb troupe.
Speaker 3 (55:36):
I mean, weed is not cool. If anything will remind
you that it's four twenty or twenty makes me embarrassed
to be a stoner because it's like, come on, guys,
surely we can do better.
Speaker 1 (55:53):
Is it like I actually don't pay that much attention
before twin Like, is it? Is it like when April
Fool's Day became a big thing, and like the Ford
Auto company was doing pranks.
Speaker 3 (56:05):
It's just like the culture of weed is so lame. Yeah,
and it's so so far divorced from counterculture at this point.
It is like, you know, libertarians and Alex Jones spoke
weed too now, so it is like it's just hard
to be like, yeah, man, we we stan weed. It's like, no,
(56:26):
you don't want to stand weed unless you're like sixteen,
then it's fine.
Speaker 2 (56:31):
Right, yeah, you got it. You got to find yourself.
Speaker 1 (56:34):
If certainly like setting back drugs by century by being
so fucking awful that he's like bringing Trump along.
Speaker 3 (56:46):
Well, it's like you're supposed to do those drugs and
be like, let's end war man. Yeah, like hey what
if we facial recognition? Yeah yeah fish wait, I'm.

like a good movie. It's like not what I was expecting,
but it's the only way that it could have ended.
Speaker 2 (01:01:04):

Order doppelganger and now We're in love. Holy shit, I
did not realize how this person really looks like a
young Jamie loftus in a way that's I think I
(01:01:52):
had seen this article before, but that is crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
In a way that is like not necessarily a compliment.
Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
It's heroin chic.
Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
I look like, Yeah, a kid that is like on
the verge of being bullied to death and not.

my grandfather's funeral is today, and I said, no, I
have Daily zeit guys to do. Oh no, There's a
number of reasons why I couldn't be there, unfortunately, but
I didn't want to honor him in a sort of
way by recommending a song you'd probably like. He's a
big fan of sixty spy movies and funky music. And
(01:03:05):
this is a track called The Thief and Marrakesh by
Arc day Sole And although it was made in twenty nineteen,
it sounds like a classic Herbie Hancock inspired jam and
like a blaxploitation style film score with some fun drum
fills for the breaks and a funky melody. I'm pretty
sure my grandfather would approve, So rest in peace, Grandpa Tom,
(01:03:26):
I love you.
Speaker 1 (01:03:27):

Speaker 3 (07:00):
My cat is very excited today, keep trying to get off.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I love it. I can't wait. I love when the
blur is on and you can see that something's going on.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
It's good, but it's a mystery.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
So you won't see my cat knocking everything off the table, but.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
He can go past that. I don't know why I
turned to the I had the blur on for a while.
I turned the blur off and I was doing like
a zoom yoga class the other day, brag. But my
dog was fully sucking himself off and for like half
the classic. For some reason, I was like, I'm blurred.
He can suck from salt, but it was full a
(07:42):
yoga move. That is It's true, you ugly clutch, but
you can't do this, It's true.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, I think that's.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Something we can't suck ourselves.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, that is their great advantage over all of us.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
After you turn thirty five, it's a way harder to
suck yourself off here.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
That's what they were saying in your yoga class. And
as we know, one at a time, one vertebrate at
a time. God, I can't I and I can totally
roll myself up, one vertebrae at a time. And that's
something you should know about me. Is I know what
that means when they say that, and I do it
every time.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I I do the thing where you just eventually collapse.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah, I just have like a straight backbone that just
like I got. I can't roll it up one at
a time. It's I think it's in two parts. Maybe. Yeah,
it's built like a flip foam.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, body like.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
A flip, body like a flip phone, body like a flip.
All right, Molly, we're gonna get to know you a
little bit better, and my first we're going to tell
the listeners a couple of the things we're talking about.
Say what you will about facial recognition software and here
(09:09):
here on this podcast, we're big fans, but it does.
It has presented us with a fun new thing where
you can find your doppelganger. So there's somebody who's doppelganger
has been found in Indiana and like it was causing
all sorts of health for them, and that's going viral.
So we're going to talk about that exciting new angle
of facial recognition software. We're going to talk about Emily Hart,
(09:34):
who is a fast rising mega influencer who it was
just revealed, is a medical student in India who was like, yeah,
I needed to pay my way through medical school, so
he just did like three queries into an AI and
they were like, here, this is a person who will
get three to ten million views on each reel. So
(09:58):
we'll talk about that, and then we will talk about
the reclassification of marijuana, potentially making it uncool forever. The
Trump administration has reclassified marijuana. All that plenty more. But first, Molly,
we do like to ask our guests, what is something
from your search history that's revealing about who you are.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Look, I'm not gonna pretend I was looking up something cool.
I've been reading the Summer House Reddit.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Uh huh, oh, anything good?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
I mean, I don't know if you guys are embroiled
in the Summerhouse.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I need to know the latest, because I just got
the very basics as it was happening, and then we
kind of dropped it for a minute, so we say
some stranger things, conspiracies. I guess it.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Seems like they went back in and edited the remaining
episodes of the season to pay more attention to the
possible infidelity that was happening between Amanda and West. This
is married to Kyle, the main the number one guy
on the show.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, it's like two couples who were people were already
interested in and then basically the.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Main couple on the show has been getting heading towards divorce.
But this was the scandal is that the wife was
having an affair with one of the other guys on
the show. Wasn't revealed until recently. Now they're going back
and re editing the rest of the episodes to to
shine more light on that. So what they've done is
(11:32):
just put in a bunch of scary music.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Okay, nothing.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Was like they show the characters talking, and then this
week they started playing this like weird cello music that was.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Like do do do do?
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Like?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Oh so.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Dies us?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I mean that was royalty free for sure, that's right.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I love when someone drops a royalty free hit like
good for you, Good for you.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
That's like they put it over a scene that would
otherwise not play ominous if you didn't have this new information,
and they made it it became ominous.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Well, I mean, I love being told how to feel.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I think I mean that oh yeah, please lead me
by my nose. Yeah, but whatever you need yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Please okay, manipulate me into feeling are.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
You like do you have? I mean it seems like
pretty uncontroversial. Just everybody hates the couple that cheated and
like they already kind of hated them, and so this
just it's sort of a vander Pump Rules sitch, right
where like everybody already the scandabal.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Not to get to in the weeds here, but it's
more complicated. There's some racial elements of it, some racism.
The person that got sort of lied to and screwed
over who's not the husband, is her name Sierra, and
she's sort of the hero of the show, right, But
basically there's just a lot of her telling this guy
like I'm worried you're gonna humiliate me again, and please
(13:09):
don't do that, and he's like, oh, of course I
would never do that. I would never embarrass you.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Kidding right now saying that that I would do that,
Like that's actually fucked up, Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
And then that's when the cellow music comes in to
be like do do do do do do?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I wonder if he'll betray the spoiler alert he sucks.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, but yeah is his name.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
He he's a New York fuck boy who has a
food eating TikTok where he's like, damn, this cheeseburger hits.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Yeah, that's his whole thing. Is it like generational wealth
Like no, no, he works for complex so.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
It's just like gaming the algorithm type of content.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yeah, and he everyone's he's just like not great to women,
but he Everyone's like, oh, it's because he was a
D one athlete.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
There's no way around it.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Not that hot or anything, Like where's he getting this
crazy ass confidence over confidence?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
And everyone's like, oh, he's a D one athlete. I
think that name West also is not helping things. I
think that's the sort of name that gives you like.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Really yeah, it does seem like every possible red flag
is already there. Also, this is beside the point, but
it is like truly stunning to me how many self
identifying food and influencers like their content boils down to
like yummy and my tummy like it, thank you, and
you're like that's it. And then they're like they're like,
(14:47):
I've been nominated for a James Beard.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Weird say anything about the food that decides that it's good,
which is they're.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Being pain to be tall say it's good. You can't.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Everything becomes an adjective where they're like, so sandwich y
m h god, I know.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
It's giving sandwich sandwiches.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Oh okay, Look, millennials catch a lot of heat for
that kind of ship. But I will say gen Z
is also fully doing it.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
They're they're being too cute and they're just everyone's finding
their brain dead.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Bullshit, Leave me by the nose, you know what, though,
the way the world is, sometimes you need a yummy sandwich. Yeah,
but keep it to yourself. That's what I say. Keep
it to yourself at yummy and my tummy teeth.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I just want to watch someone else do it. I'm
a sandwich cock.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yeah, well that's what Summerhouse is about.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
That's right, sandwich cocks. What is something that you think
is underrated? Molly?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
All right, I'm gonna go my overrated first and then underrated.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Hey, Molly, what's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Overrated? I think new television and movies are overrated? New television, yeah,
just everything new? Who needs new stuff? We made enough stuff.
Stop making it underrated. And this will be a controversial
underrated because nobody would ever say this is underrated. Sesame
(16:26):
Street you can watch on t B now. Oh, you
can watch the entire run of Sesame Street.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
To be general is underrated?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah, to be.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Maybe that's the overrated, overrated prestige streamers underrated to b yeah,
the people streamer if you're willing to watch, uh the
same for Breeze commercial four times in a row, every
twenty minutes, and I am, is it the one that
is la yeah, yeah, la la.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yes, And it's all like, I mean, I'm sure that
there's different ones, but I always get the one where
the mother is like, my son smells like shit, but
look then she just like Nukes's room with Fabrize.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
It's funny how ads have never changed. They just like
change update the slang a little bit. Yeah, they're like
my disgusting soy cook son is slime maxing in his room.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I didn't know that the whole run is available on
to me. That's incredible.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
That's incredible. You never need to watch anything else except
for Sesame Street. You can see the origin stories of
all the characters. How did Big Bird and Slimy Meat
find out? You get Slimy Slimy the Worm?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Oh, come on, come on, Jack. I love every once
in a while one will like end up in my
feed or I'll like, I don't know, just think of
one all of the like I missed the experimental animation
that used to be on all the time, Like I
don't know, they were giving the coolest people like PBS
(18:04):
money to do whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
It was so beautiful. It was it was like invented
by people who were doing a lot of LSD too,
and like it looks like it in the early days.
It really has that energy. Bring back LSD on children's television.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Did you guys see the video with Elmo and Robby Yourseff. Yeah,
that was also heartwarming to me, very cute.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
It was beautiful and every single example of him responding
to right with backlash is very funny.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
They did have Elmo respond yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Almost should Yeah, put your money where your mouth is, Elmo?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
What is? How did they drop Elmo? Like did you
do you? Are you guys aware of his origin story
because Elmo came out like in the nineties right like
he was after.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yeah, was just kind of dropped in. They're like, here's
our new friend Elmo.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was. I think he was
like developed to speak to like I think sub preschoolers specifically,
and then he got so famous. I remember as a
kid being like Elmo's world wasn't on when I was
really little, but it was on when my brother was
really little, and the feeling in the household was this,
(19:19):
mf is getting too much screen time.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
He was getting too No, it was like many are saying.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Me and sometimes my dad bring back Grover the neurotic
mis and prope.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yes, I think a Prairie Dawn recently they ditched so
many people to make space.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
You have skord of a Prairie dawn energy.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Obviously, I love.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Her Jack kind of a Kermit.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Thank you. That's very nice of you. I think there's
a lot of I think there are more Kermit people
out there.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
But if you've ever hosted anything, yeah, yeah, that's true,
that Kermit energy.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, I think. Yeah, I think Kermit is deep down
very influential, like in the like a lot of people's
entire personalities. There's like a whole genre of human that
is like kermity.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
And they all got bodies like a flip phone.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
We all got bodies Like that's right where I learned
how to move from, where I learned how to ride
a bike.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, no spinal cord on that time.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Victor, thank you very much. Victor said, I got that
frog in me that's big Frog gotta eat you know.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Mm hmmm mm hmm, yeah, sure, why the hell not?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I also, yeah, I appreciate your point on new television.
I just feel like there's too many movies to ever
run out of good movies to be watching.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
I mean, look, I watched Taxi, the Seven Do sitcom.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Wow, so there's old TV too. Is what is what
you're telling me I need to do?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
And you know what, a lot of it's better than
new TV. I do say something I call the Gabba
gul test, which is like the Bechdel test, but it's like,
will this be better than the Sopranos?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Oh, that's an unfair hard stick to you.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Are you like kind of meet like one foot out
on the Sopranos?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Or test? Is is this going to be better than
the Sopranos?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
If not, why are I just watching the Sopranos over
and over again? Correct? There you go.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I learned not to. I don't. It might be over
by now, but my uh, my friend was talking about
I guess. For a long time it was really hard
to find the Drew Carey Show streaming or anything like that.
And at some point the Drew Carrey Show made an
official YouTube account and was doing something called drew Drops
and like three times a week at the same time,
(22:01):
they would like upload Most of the Drew Carrey Show
is now on YouTube for free, but they did this
like really fun slow roll out where there would be
people watching live for drew Drops for like an episode
that aired twenty five years ago.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
But that's because I almost brought up the Drew Carrey
Show earlier because you were talking about how Cleveland rocks.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
It's Ohio. I always loved the way they ended that
song by just screaming, oh.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
I didn't watch that show when it came out, but
the drew Drops have really like I was missing out.
It's really good.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
The people yearn for sitcoms.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
They do, they do, and and we won't We'll never
get them again.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
But this is what I've been noticing is like YouTube
comedy cruise, you know, where it's like they start, they
just keep getting bigger and bigger until finally they're an ensemble.
And I'm like, it's because the people yearn for sitcoms.
This right here what we're doing workplace comedy.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
We're yearning three cameras on us.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
It was like one of those COVID era shows where
they're like, what if everyone's on zoom.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
We have a laugh track. They're just very quiet. They're
not they're not feeling us at all. But if we
do have a laugh track, all right. So, if if
you had to recommend an old TV show that I
can catch up on, it would be Sesame Street. It
would be.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Fun to see how the characters looked at first. Oscar
was orange to beginning, Oh I forgot about that, briefore orange.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah, that's crazy. Changes everything really you think about.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
It, nothing is the same.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back
and we'll talk about some news. We'll be right back.
And we're back, and we just got some breaking news
over the I hop to see you all there.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I hope to see you all at the Shrek twenty
five screening at the AMC Burbank.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
So Shrek is coming up on its twenty fifth anniversary
and they're just re releasing it in theaters.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Just they'll do that for kind of any movie now,
which I appreciate. I'm like, I've seen a lot of
movies that I missed, like for the real like I
for like ten years ago or whatever. It's just we're
going back to re releasing stuff. It's nice and it
also supports your theory, Molly. If we don't need new movies,
we don't need to re release the old ones.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
I just want to see Cape Fear, the Scorsese movie.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
There You Go, There You Go?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Is that back out like wide or that was just
like a yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I think it's because there's like an Apple Show remake,
And you know what, I don't need the remake because
I got the original.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Don't you want to know the lore though, the prequel
to Cape Fear? The fuck?
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Don't you want to know how he got that crazy hair?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Why he found that movie so funny? Well?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
You know what that part where he finds the movie
so funny? Do you know what movie it is?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Oh? Wait, I do. I can't remember it, but it's like, yes,
problem child.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
And I don't know if the IMDb trivia is accurate,
but it claimed that he just DeNiro just started laughing
genuinely a problem child, And it wasn't in the script.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
That's a sick person would laughing problem So what was
the point of that sketch going to be? What was
the point of that scene?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
See, he's going to be that he's just there being
creepy smoking a cigar. Allegedly, he genuinely just started, what
if I did something even creeping.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
You you would be two of the most interesting people
to talk to about this because during during our Icon
episode about Bart Simpson, I was realizing that there was
this like moment in the early nineties that was like
the problem Child moment where everybody like Bart Simpson, Kevin
McAllister from Home Alone, problem the problem child himself. But
(26:13):
then like even like they were like Terminator two great,
like we have this amazing premise, We're gonna put like
a Bart Simpson character in the middle of it. It's
gonna be like get out of here, dude, no way, bro,
that sucks. But yeah, it was this weird moment in
the early nineties where everyone was just like we our
(26:35):
main obsession is nine to twelve year old boys who
are assholes.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Rather rude dududes.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Shirts, yeahs who buys those T shirts? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
It was Elbarto.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I do feel like, I mean, maybe it's just like
nostalgia bias, but it did feel like the kids were
especially Quippi during that time, and then that sort of
that sort of gave way to one of my least
favorite kinds of movie kids, which is like the Sun
Dance movie kid who is not a problem child at
all and is uniquely wise and has to tell Joseph
(27:13):
Gordon Levitt how to treat women or whatever. That one
is not as fun.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
They were like, what if this character who's basically like
a Yoday wise character, what if it was a five
year old.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Girl exactly exactly. We want kids who shred and and tag.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah. It was kind of the lead edge of the
extreme sports movement.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Love sunglasses, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, yeah, those are those are the days. A lot
of a lot of fluorescent clothing and sick nerve, gunb battles.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Jeans great, tear away jeans, Tara or tear away pants
in general, like tear away jeans.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
You know sometimes jeans be stifling you.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Nothing that I've ever wanted to tear away more than
that I'm wearing. All right, let's talk about phacial recognition software.
We're all pro. I don't even have to ask you, guys.
We love it. We love it here at the Daily's case.
But the all right, so Breaking News Indiana's DMV is
(28:21):
called the BMV, which is just silly. Yeah, it's bureau
instead of department, would be my guest apartment, apartment of
motor vehicles. They flagged a Indiana woman named Erica Brown's
driver's license renewal photo for potential fraud because it too
closely matched another woman's photo of the same age, who
(28:44):
also lives in Indiana, And the side by side of
the two pictures is going around. They do look very similar,
and she shared it on social media and everyone's like, whoa,
And now she's going viral, Like the pictures are going viral,
Like I don't think she's found the other person yet,
so that's gotta be weird for them to be like
famous for being this person's dppel ganger. But I think
(29:09):
the reason this is like going viral is because it
is like, I like, have you guys ever seen a
dappelganger of yourself? Like out there?
Speaker 3 (29:21):
I mean, I'm always Yeah, somebody sent me one recently
and I was like, oh, yeah, totally. It was a
picture of Melissa Offtemer from Hole in the nineties with
Drew Barrymore and they were like, I thought this was
you And I was like, oh that, I thought that
was me too.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Now, yeah, Jack, do you have fun.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Yeah, I've had a bunch. There's like a ton of
people out there who look identical to me. Scary it is,
it's really weird.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
I have one that I like. I just found the
article I wrote ten years ago God about a woman
who looked exactly like me when she he was like fourteen,
only as adults we looked very dissimilar. But yeah, it's
every time of a very particular episode of Law and Order.
(30:11):
SPU what air I would get text being like, hey,
you look like this. It's like a child who's being cyberboyd.
I'll I'll put it in the chat.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
But it's also kind of your energy. Yeah, yeah, totally.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
There's a lot of Order people have sent me because
they there's a stripper named Molly Lambert in it, and
so there's a bunch of iced tea being like, Molly Lambert,
she's got a Toyota Corolla, she sounds.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Awesome, or this has to be a plot of law.
I have a.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Horrible Google ganger I just got if you don't mind,
if I bring the whole mood down. Someone sent me
a story from people dot com that was about someone
whose name was Molly Lambert, and it was like Molly
Lambert thought she was a pedophile because she kept having
intrusive thoughts about pet that she might be a pedophile.
(31:09):
But it turns out she just had this special type
of o c D that makes you worried you're a pedophile.
Maria Banford has that really. M Also, my friend was like, oh,
that's in my OCD workshop. But for some reason they
published an article in People about this, like twenty two
year old named Molly Lambert.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Is she?
Speaker 3 (31:28):
And I was like, ooh, following you, I have to
go around being like, well, she's not actually a pedophile.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
This is an intrusive thought.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Yeah, she's just worried. Katie Natopolis for sending me that
and horrify She said she saw it on facebo you
did she you you? She was sorry, I saw this
on Facebook and had to send it to you.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Yeah. I just think this is an experience everybody's had
and now are going to like want to use facial recognition.
Like I feel like if they productize this and they're like, hey,
we'll find your we'll find your doppelganger, like like you
can reach out to them like that, that will be
a thing.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah, it's all also not to be a bummer, but
it's all very like scary. I don't know, every like,
uh facial recognition story is so terrifying to me, especially
because like these are two women of color that like, yes,
facial facial recognition software is uniquely bad at like recognizing
(32:35):
and understanding because of the data that they have. It
just like I don't know, CUTI cutifying this technology like
it makes sense that it's happening and it's like no
fault of like the woman that's happening too, like make
lemonade go nuts. But it just it just freaks me
out because this is something that I mean, even with
(32:56):
certain whatever like trends that go around, like it's just
trying to have you voluntarily hand over more data sets,
and it makes I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Oh yeah, like when everybody was like when they were
like post pictures of yourself from this year, this year
and this year, and it was like Broye the train
in the the train in the AI.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Yeah, and like like yeah, yeah, like those those it
makes me feel so conspiratorial. But I totally believe that
those trends, uh like are a way to get data
sets on how people look as they age.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Yeah, for sure, they are Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
And also I totally get that it's fun. I don't know,
I had to.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Like it's like, how do people just have old photos
of themselves, like on hand, like that my photos go
back to when I got this phone after the last died.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Same but everybody else pictures of me in college, like
here's my seventh grade like me every day in seventh
grade that I have stand in like a high quality.
I like, I have no idea what I look like.
I did look like Ralph Maccio and I did like young,
young Ralph Machio.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
That's actually I had another doppel ganger.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yeah, I was a choppel ganger of Ralph Machia. That
that phrase is trending or word is trending. That is
someone who looks like someone else but uglier. But I
was a chopped doppelganger of Ralph Maccia in seventh grade.
But yeah, it does feel a little bit like those
like fun apps when they were first just being like, yeah,
(34:31):
we can show you what you would look like as
a boy, or you know, what you looked like when
what you'll look like when you're ninety, Like they were
doing that at my kids' school. They were like this
fun piece of technology where we'll show them as old people.
And now, yeah, it seemed paranoid at the time to
be like this is bad. And now like Pallenteer is
(34:52):
issuing like these manifestos, being like we should get to
decide if you get killed and yeah, so yeah, I think.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
All we are putting your if your face is symmetrical
into the the decide if you die machine.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah. Katie Golden wrote this story and she was pointing
out like also, it's just like if we if we're
turning law enforce and stuff over to these things, like
they're not gonna like this was. This was just because
like it was a license the like application, Like you
can totally see a world where they're like, yeah, tell
(35:31):
it to the judge, Oh sure, you look like somebody else,
and it's like everybody has that experience, but like this
technology does not make room for it in any way.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Yeah, like what is the I don't know the consequences are.
So I read a book a couple years ago, Brave Again.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Uh, that's it.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
You just read guys like that, you know, thank you.
But it's called more than a glitch that like sort
of breaks down all of the I mean it's if
you haven't like gotten into like all of the ways
that AI is attacking people in very particular ways, and
like facial recognition specifically, I'd recommend it call more than
(36:15):
a glitch by Meredith Brossard.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
All right, speaking of AI in ways that it's attacking us,
there's more cool. Yeah. We got another one from Wired
did an article about this influencer who is line goes
up in big time on Instagram and all the social
media platforms. Her name is Emily Hart and she is
a blonde woman who loves wearing bikinis, drinking beers, and
(36:43):
shooting guns and you know, pledging allegiance to Donald Trump.
Oh and exist and she don't exist. Her fien mixed
bikini shots with pro Trump content, gun photos and captions
like Christ is King, abortion is murder, and all illegals
must be deported. Instagram's algorithm devoured the content. Individual reels
(37:06):
hit three to ten million views each And it turns
out it was this dude who was like, how do
I pay my way through medical school in India? And
he just put queries into Gemini, and Gemini was like,
let me handle this for you. Like it was literally
like he was like, how can I like make money marketing?
(37:27):
They're like, try to becoming a MAGA influencer by making
up a attractive blonde.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Woman, fascist woman.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Yeah, yeah, my god, it's like weird science.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Yes, it's exactly like weird science.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
They're like put like boo.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Boo boop, hot terrible lady.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
God.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
It's also worth noting that the you know, I don't
I don't pay for a Wired subscription. So I got
this like summary of the Wired article on Yahoo, and
I'm pretty sure it was also AI because I'm just
going to read you the first sentence of the article
Google's Gemini. AI didn't helped a twenty two year old
(38:07):
Indian medical student create content Comma Capital. It also served
up the playbook for weaponizing American political divisions. Sick didn't helped,
you know, Yeah, so I think it's just AI all
the way down, and like this is the article is
also not like Jesus Christ, like what do we It's
just like and this is sick this thing. Yeah yeah,
(38:32):
look at this trend in marketing.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Yeah. The fact that both of these AI stories are
kind of it sounds like kind of being framed as
like human interest pieces. Is such a bummer. How did
how did he get caught? I mean outside of I
think it's.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
Just pretty immediately yeah, yeah, I mean I saw something.
I don't know if it was the same person, but
it was. Yeah, just like like there's like an army girl.
If not the same thing, there's one who's like, I'm
in the army and here's all my guns.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Is very common.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Yeah, I think it's just like a type of marketing.
It's like those hot girls of the IDF propaganda accounts,
but like, yeah, just making up some girls.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
But this one interesting is that it was created out
of desperation, dude, an educational.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Debt and yeah, that is that's called hustle, that's called
that is the thing. I will say that's incredibly The
most depressing aspect of this type of thing is you
look in the comments and everybody's like, I love you
pretty lady.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Of the article about how she's feeling.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
No, just like in the comments of the AI girls,
people are just like, you're so beautiful, I want to
meet you.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Tell me.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
And I'm not convinced. I'm not convinced that. Like I'd
be curious how many of those moments are real too,
because you're just like totally true. Yeah, there's just like
bots on bots, the spots on bots, HiT's.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Bots, empty universe of bots, like chirping back and forth.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
It's like the dog self suck of bots.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
But guys, we're ready to pivot to video again. Real
people are definitely watching it.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
I know it. I know it. The consumption on this
stuff crazy.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
I saw another thing like that too, that was about
people who are licensing like AI doppelgangers of themselves to
do stuff. One of them was Andy Cohen from Bravo.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Oh Wow, do like to go like be a spokesperson
for something, to.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
Like make videos that you don't have to actually.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
Make maybe yeah, appear in maybe to.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
Come on the podcast. They you can just pretend.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
I wonder how many of our guests I have like
two that I could guess at, but I won't. But well,
you're going over the course of two thousand episodes, there
are two guests that I'd be.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
Like, oh, oh, that wasn't a real person.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
I will occasionally get these like almost certainly written using AI.
Maybe from a real person. Hard to say, but like
every once in a while I'll get emails from different
versions of like the same offered service where they're like, Hey, Jamie,
do you want to be on more podcasts? If you
pay me two hundred dollars today, I'll make sure that
(41:30):
you make five podcast appearances in the next two weeks.
And you're like, first of all, I would rather I
would sooner die, Like how dare you? But I think
it just feels like another like the way the Internet
feels like such a volume game because we're uh, you know,
(41:50):
fighting bots and all this other shit where it's like
it doesn't matter if what we're making is good. It
just matters that there's a lot of it. And so
they're like, who gives a shit what you're talking about?
Who gives a shit? If you're promote do something? Give
me two hundred dollars and you I can guarantee you'll
have the worst two weeks of your life. Your life.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
They've identified that the thing you need help with is
breaking into the pot.
Speaker 3 (42:15):
Yeah, you got to get booked on more podcasts.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
Crack the podcast industry so bizarre? Oh man, Uh all right,
let's uh, let's take a quick break. We'll come back.
We'll talk about Mary Jane, the old Mary Jane. We'll
be right back.
Speaker 2 (42:47):
And we're back.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
And as I was talking about being a chopel ganger
justin chime, didn't I missed it that one of my
coworkers back at Cracked, like what worked for the company
that was like always treated cracked like, oh that's cute.
They have like a little humor magazine, which was good
because they kind of left us alone. But she, for
(43:11):
like a week was coming in and was like, God,
there is an actor who you look exactly like like exactly,
and I can't can't figure it out. And then like
one day was like I got it, and like other
people were like trying to help with us, just like
I got it. It's Walton Goggins. Like not that many
(43:33):
people were like what are you talking about? Oh okay,
like when he was unjustified, Yeah, when he was unjustified, before.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
Everybody knew who Walton Goggins was.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
So you've gotten to.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
Follow his career and be like, yeah, that's my boy.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
Hell yeah, it's my guy right there. I'll take Goggins.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
I'll take anytime. I truly, just like anytime you're about
to tell someone they look like someone else, really think.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
About it, pause and reflect it, even if you think
it might be flattering. Just you don't know, You really
don't know.
Speaker 1 (44:08):
You really don't want to get to make it happen,
to make it real, you know, get bigger mouth of teeth,
teeth look fake already. That's so kind of you, like
real big, real big boys.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
Yeah, you can get the surgery for your legs, but
for your teeth, taller teeth. You could do Uncle baby
Billy for I know, great costume.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
That would be a good costume. It would be a
lot of work or not.
Speaker 3 (44:41):
Right, No, not with this fat You're dead finished saying face,
because I was. That's how clear it was.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
Not with this as we fast for face. Let's talk
about weed. Donald Trump has officially reclassified marijuana aka the
Devil's letice, moving it from Schedule one, which you may
know is the home of lsd M d M a
(45:14):
synthetic opioids, to Schedule three, which is ketamine, anabolic steroids,
and testosterone.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
Woa, what is what's two?
Speaker 1 (45:25):
I don't know? Jumped too, Yeah, this is being treated
as like man Trump, I guess, I guess broken clock
is right, once once a day type thing. And it
is true that like he also did something with hallucinogens earlier,
like I think last week where he was helping deschedule
(45:48):
those or like make those easier to research, which I
think is like good and it's truly like I think
his presidency is just like a game of Plinko or
you know, like it's just whatever whoever happens to bribe
or flatter him that day gets gets the thing, and
(46:09):
like sometimes it will be good.
Speaker 3 (46:11):
It's definitely like whoever he speaks to the last is
who he repeats.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
I'm also wondering, like I don't know very much about
the like weed industry, but if it's like how connected
it is to just like how extremely profitable it is
now where it's like that's the broken clock thing is
that like you can make a lot of money by
selling it and regulating the prices and stuff.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
Jamie, it's almost like you've you've been living in this
country for a while, because yeah, so I would say
this one is way more about that than anything else.
Like there's well, it's not because he's cool, Like definitely
not that he specifically said, unless pot is recommended by
(46:59):
a doctor for medical reasons, just don't do it. Really
is giving sober people such a bad name. People who
don't drink or do drugs and like drink diet coke.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
Sober people diet coke.
Speaker 3 (47:13):
Trump is like you know how people are a dry drunk. Yes,
that's right, a dry coke head.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Yeah, although except he is on stimulants at all.
Speaker 3 (47:23):
Okay, yeah, he's just a regular coke regular coke had
dry drunk.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
Yeah. I do love how many different names rich people
have for metha.
Speaker 3 (47:35):
I will say the President of America is always on speed.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
Yes, yeah, regardless of political affiliation. Like JFK was on
on speed.
Speaker 1 (47:44):
Yeah. We talked about that a lot, and like randomly
in the carry.
Speaker 2 (47:46):
Fisher, I was literally from you.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
Yeah, her dad was being injected by the same person
who injected and Elvis like speed and like I literally
did the thing that like eighties info infome or p
s as like told us drug dealers we do where
they he like tricked people and they like do it.
Speaker 3 (48:08):
It's all vitamins viamins.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
Yeah yeah, and then they would be like, holy shit,
I feel better than I've ever felt. These vitamins are
good anyways. Yes, presidents are always on speed. That's that's
why they age so badly. It's like we're like, man,
they work so hard. It's like, no, they haven't slept
in fucking four years because essentially on meth. Like, wow,
(48:33):
fucking Obama's teeth are falling out. He's working so hard.
It's like, you know, he's flying on meth. But uh so,
the financial reason for this legislation is that weed companies
cannot currently apply for the usual tax deductions because they're
technically still illegal drug traffickers. And the one thing you
(48:57):
do need when you're when you're gonna invet like billions
of dollars in something is you need to be able
to not pay taxes on any of your earnings in America,
Like you gotta get those loopholes. And so he has
been the target of an aggressive Donald Trump has been
the target of an aggressive lobbying campaign from cannabis company,
(49:17):
specifically his pal Howard Kessler and Kim Rivers, the CEO
of True Leave t r U l I e Ve
Sure True Leave, which is the dispensary company that stated
goal is to be the Starbucks of wheed.
Speaker 2 (49:36):
God, yeah, weed, it hasn't been cool for a long time.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
I fucking sucks.
Speaker 2 (49:43):
Oh that's such a bummer. I got high for the
first time in forever over the weekend completely by mistake.
Speaker 1 (49:52):
WHOA what happened?
Speaker 2 (49:54):
Well, because I don't I don't like I'm genuinely uncool.
I don't like the feeling of being high. It freaks
me out. Me too, I like wine from the gas
station and that's about it. But but yeah, I like accepted,
I can do like a low like a low gummy.
I can do that, and uh, an older woman and
(50:15):
this is me being judgmental. A woman my mother's age
offered me a gummy and I was like, I'm not
going to ask a question about it. It's probably like
a low vibe. And then for the next like fourteen hours,
I was out of my fucking mind.
Speaker 1 (50:30):
It was bad.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
She drove home on one of those I was like, fuck.
Speaker 3 (50:41):
Did she put a gun to your hat? And she
was like four twenty plase it, bitch.
Speaker 2 (50:46):
It was four twenty eve. I wasn't thinking hard enough.
I was not familiar with her game, but she like,
I was like my I was like, my, well, I
won't say, but I was just like, wow, this like
beloved family friend made an attempt on my life today.
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (51:04):
You're probably gonna want to be out of your mind
for the next fourteen hours. Here you go like a
fucking breath mint.
Speaker 2 (51:12):
It's the worst case scenario of being high, where you
wake up the next morning and you're like, it's not over.
Speaker 1 (51:20):
Is this just what my life is for now? I
feel that way every time I get sick or anytime
I would get high, I would be like, it's never
gonna end. This is just what my life is from
now on.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
Horrible.
Speaker 1 (51:32):
Anyways, they contributed seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars to
is inaugural Committee, another two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
to American Rights and Reform, which is a superpack that
funneled a million dollars to Trump superpack, and he when
he signed the executive order, he admitted he was like,
I've never been inundated by so many people as I
(51:54):
have about reclassifying now. So he's just like, yeah, I'm
doing this because people are bing me.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
I'm sure he's doing it because he's such an eighties man.
It's just I know, right, yeah, the war on drug
War on drugs coded.
Speaker 1 (52:07):
Yeah, yeah, like I thought, yeah, you'd be more likely
to like seek the death penalty.
Speaker 2 (52:13):
For Nancy's rolling in her grave.
Speaker 3 (52:16):
Because he's Trump getting into like ketamine.
Speaker 2 (52:19):
Oh, like you got to hear about this, give it
to dogs, he would call. Yeah, he's definitely not. I
mean he's historically not opposed to drugs intended for animals.
Speaker 1 (52:31):
No, yeah, yeah, yeah. And and sudafed. I love the
fact that he was just abusing pseudo fed. I mean,
you can get crazy on sudafed and he has, but
uh he yeah. So basically, the way this is structured
is it will specifically help corporations who are trying to
(52:52):
make like a billion dollars off of weed sales. It
will not immediately legalize marijuana affect the sentences of those
incarcerated for.
Speaker 3 (53:01):
Position right, like, it will not have it what I
was saying there probably weighing it against for profit prison
profits being like right, but uh yeah, you don't want
to buy weed from the Trump endorsed weed store, I know, no, really.
Speaker 2 (53:17):
Like most wheat stores.
Speaker 1 (53:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (53:20):
I mean, I honestly, I'm always like, do you think
weed like old old timey weed dealing is going to
come back? I think it probably will because it's like
the prices at the places that seldom are like ridiculous.
I will say, I smoke the cheapest weed, and it
has gotten so cheap that sometimes I am like, wow,
(53:40):
I used to pay so much more money for less
good weed.
Speaker 1 (53:44):
So like the dealer stuff has gotten cheaper as the
baby boomers have like started just like going into star
we weed Starbucks.
Speaker 3 (53:53):
Well, baby boomers are always saying the weed has gotten
too strong. That's what I hear from from the boomers
who smoke in my life is the weed is too strong.
It used to not be so strong, and now they've
like and I'm always like, you can just buy the
cheap stuff and it's not as strong. Like I do
agree with them that the weed is like sometimes I
(54:13):
don't want the weed that's too strong, you know, like
the stuff where it's like there's resin in the weed and.
Speaker 2 (54:20):
Took it off a dab rag or whatever.
Speaker 3 (54:23):
Yeah, I'm like, I don't I don't want to be
I don't want to be on Mars.
Speaker 1 (54:28):
Yeah, it's uh, his reclassification won't help people. And also
like one of the biggest did you know that? Do
you know? The Glasshouse Farms is like the place what
one of the biggest weed companies. They're co founded by
informer l A cop.
Speaker 3 (54:47):
Sick cool and well, you know, all cops are just criminals.
Speaker 1 (54:51):
I know that's.
Speaker 2 (54:52):
Right, and for once someone's doing something, but also.
Speaker 3 (54:56):
The corporate weed guys are all criminals too. I work
on a magazine for a briefly for a corporate weed
company whose name I won't say, but it was one
of the big ones, and then they had a huge
scandal where they all.
Speaker 2 (55:12):
Got shut down. Yeah, it's like any time. Yeah, it's
like anytime there's a sort of like tech financier, it's
that all of a sudden decides like, oh, I'm going
to just basically like colonize this industry and make everything
that could have been cool about it horrible.
Speaker 1 (55:29):
Yeah. So anyways, not as cool as it seems at first,
which you probably could tell because it was being done
by dumb troupe.
Speaker 3 (55:36):
I mean, weed is not cool. If anything will remind
you that it's four twenty or twenty makes me embarrassed
to be a stoner because it's like, come on, guys,
surely we can do better.
Speaker 1 (55:53):
Is it like I actually don't pay that much attention
before twin Like, is it? Is it like when April
Fool's Day became a big thing, and like the Ford
Auto company was doing pranks.
Speaker 3 (56:05):
It's just like the culture of weed is so lame. Yeah,
and it's so so far divorced from counterculture at this point.
It is like, you know, libertarians and Alex Jones spoke
weed too now, so it is like it's just hard
to be like, yeah, man, we we stan weed. It's like, no,
(56:26):
you don't want to stand weed unless you're like sixteen,
then it's fine.
Speaker 2 (56:31):
Right, yeah, you got it. You got to find yourself.
Speaker 1 (56:34):
If certainly like setting back drugs by century by being
so fucking awful that he's like bringing Trump along.
Speaker 3 (56:46):
Well, it's like you're supposed to do those drugs and
be like, let's end war man. Yeah, like hey what
if we facial recognition? Yeah yeah fish wait, I'm.

that my friend who's a teacher, showed me. Yeah, it's

kid's name. The kid's name is Benjamin. I've never met Benjamin,

the greatest poem ever written. I think about it every day.
Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
I mean, he teases the ending, but it's like it's
like a good movie. It's like not what I was expecting,
but it's the only way that it could have ended.
Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
And the foreshadowing was heavy eats a lot a jar butter,
peanut butter, nuts in my mouth.
Speaker 1 (01:01:11):

on Twitter at Jack Underscore, O, Brian Bluis Guy, Jack

Jack Underscore, Oh Underscore Brian working Media. I've been enjoying.
(01:01:32):
There's this article on Inverse dot com twenty sixteen that
was shared in the chat that I'm going to link
off to. It's called I stalked down my Law and
Order doppelganger and now We're in love. Holy shit, I
did not realize how this person really looks like a
young Jamie loftus in a way that's I think I
(01:01:52):
had seen this article before, but that is crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
In a way that is like not necessarily a compliment.
Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
It's heroin chic.
Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
I look like, Yeah, a kid that is like on
the verge of being bullied to death and not.
Speaker 1 (01:02:11):
But we will link off to that in the footnotes.
You can find us on Twitter and Blue Sky at
daily zeitgeis. We're at the Daily Zeitgeist on Instagram. We
you can go to the description of this episode wherever
you're listening to it, and they at the bottom you
will find the footnotes, which is where we link off
to the information that we talked about in today's episode.
(01:02:33):
We also like to link off to a song that
we think you might enjoy and what Miles is out.
We do like to ask super producer Justin Connor, Justin,
is there a song that you think people might enjoy?
Speaker 6 (01:02:43):
Yeah, And don't be sad before I say this, but
my grandfather's funeral is today, and I said, no, I
have Daily zeit guys to do. Oh no, There's a
number of reasons why I couldn't be there, unfortunately, but
I didn't want to honor him in a sort of
way by recommending a song you'd probably like. He's a
big fan of sixty spy movies and funky music. And
(01:03:05):
this is a track called The Thief and Marrakesh by
Arc day Sole And although it was made in twenty nineteen,
it sounds like a classic Herbie Hancock inspired jam and
like a blaxploitation style film score with some fun drum
fills for the breaks and a funky melody. I'm pretty
sure my grandfather would approve, So rest in peace, Grandpa Tom,
(01:03:26):
I love you.
Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
And again that track is called.
Speaker 6 (01:03:29):
