Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from
this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment laugh stravaganza. Yeah, so,
without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist. Blake. You know,
(00:26):
we like to ask our guests, what is something from
your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Don't know?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Now, I know you're gonna ask that I have been
written down right in front of me. My Google search
is revealing of well, how did you put it?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Who I am?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I looked at I looked up Love is Blind Malibu
and this is no I'm not giving away any spoilers,
but so they sent each Love is Blind. They send
them on these idiots on a honeymoon in Mexico generally,
but this time they sent one of the couples to
Malibu and didn't explain why. And I was like, so
(01:07):
they sent all the couples to Mexico and then just
one couple the Malibu And I'm like, is there a
passport issue?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Again? Why wouldn't they send them?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
And it just it.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Turns out that's what I thought too, But it was
just they ran out of money to send the couple.
And this is a small company, a small streamer.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Yeah, I haven't seen this is part of the this
is from the new season.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
From the new season, and it's not important to the
plot whatsoever, but it and it's not like I mean,
it's it's not that much. I mean for a streamer,
it's not that much to send one more couple to
this weird resort. So they just send them the Malibu instead.
It's very strange, and it turns out it's because they
didn't have the budget to send one more couple to Mexico.
(01:57):
And also this couple, I believe they chose them because
there there wasn't like any beef between them and the
other couples. So they're right, well, they all need to
be in the same spot. We can just send them
over to Malibu. That's a good question. Yeah, that's a
good point from Catherine to producer Katherine were wouldn't Malibu
could conceivably cost more?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Where they said, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I'm not nobu or some one of.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
The producers houses or something like.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
That, you know, Yeah, probably they probably knew somebody, right,
I guess, because that's the secret about Netflix is like,
despite their crazy earnings, they are just like farming shipped
out to production companies that are like going bankrupt in
a case, trying to produce these.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Things non union. Yeah. Yeah, Like the people who made
fucking Squid Game were like, we're fucked over here. Netflix
is doing great things, not so good over here.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
For for us, well, stocks is all we all we
care about anyway, It doesn't really matter that's going up.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
The important thing is that the sharehold holders are exactly
getting value.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
And despite the Dow is over fifty thousand, guys they
said it.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Would never happen.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Okay, thank you, Judge, and we are changing and you
can edit this out if you're not announcing this yet,
but we are removing the Zeit Gang label and replacing
it with shareholders. So the fans of the show just shareholders.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
You're in the shareholders, Yeah, shareholders, and thank you to
the shareholders. Thank you to the shareholders. Absolutely the shareholders.
The day one t d z.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
S dollars sign is yeah, because that's our stock.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Trait ZiT coin is coming.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Coin is coming, and people were asking about that in
the anniversary of the two thought, look, we're still working
on it. Okay, we're still just get ready. This seems
to be bigger all the other crypto crypton.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
By the dip. We're about to buy the dip like
you've never seen before.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Dude.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
I'm about to buy the dip like I'm on my
way to a Super Bowl party.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Right with a wheelbarrow.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Seven layer.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
That's how deep this dip does go. Unfortunately, it does
appear to be that the NFT market is completely dead.
But if you say so, yeah, exactly if what they
say I and I love that people are believing that,
because that's just making me mumnay.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Oh my god, now I can finally buy that board ape.
Justin Bieber was sitting on.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
The one that they're getting sued for having tried to sell?
Is that what everybody who did the board ape or
like the the Jimmy Fallon one. Yeah, they're all like
being sued by people for me like you said, this
was I think Jake Paul it was recently revealed, or
Logan one of.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
The logans also, they're all in that.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Fuck yeah, they rand the one that he bought for Rand,
the Jake rand Ron, all.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
The Paul brothers. But the headliner last week was how
Justin Bieber bought that board ape for a one point
three million and now it's worth twelve thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Twelve thousand seems like a lot to me. Honestly, twelve
thousand seems like maybe two thousands.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
A lot, bro, But yeah, just on that, on that,
just if you're just street and guess who's been blown up?
Justin Bieber trying to take that off his hands. You
know what I'm saying, sor by the dip over here,
what is something Troy that you think is underrated?
Speaker 7 (05:21):
Chain restaurants under Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, restaurant's very underrated.
I feel like certain ones better than others. But you know,
I think I think you can't really you need to
appreciate the ability to be in almost any city in
the country and go cheesecake factory. Yeah, I'll be at
(05:43):
least satisfied. Yeah, you know, you know, there's no like
mistakes stuffed.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
You know, there's certain things that hit with like almost
every chain restaurant, Like any anything in an egg roll
like yeah, you know, like that's just been like fried
crispy and has various supream cheese ingredients inside is just
like come on, that's.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Gonna be good every version of mac and cheese.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Yep, there's a reason those ships are chained up. There's
they're good.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
They used to not be chained restaurants.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
I can tell you that much.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I will.
Speaker 8 (06:17):
I will say this and my genuinely I'm on somewhere
on social media public record. My friend Catherine, who's like
a food journalist, like an honest to god, full ass
full food journalist, did like an Instagram poll or something
one time. It was like, what's the most underrated restaurant
in Los Angeles? I replied, it is the Arby's that
(06:37):
is on Sunset Boulevard, by the way, rip to that
arby And she did say that one got the most
responses of people being like it actually is it is.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
This one and this one.
Speaker 8 (06:51):
It's so rated, so low, and it is fucking awesome,
even if it doesn't just anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, it used to, Yeah, I used to. I used
to stop at that stop at that Arby's and really
crash out. Yeah, really just like blackout and come and
then leave with I order all.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
This that Arby's.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Is that you just left a general meeting in Hollywood
and it didn't go right, and you're about to get
on the highway Arby's.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, it's right next to the Netflix quarter.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yeah, and you just said to yourself, like, you know
what fringe dips.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
They had me pitch off next to a U iad Ahi.
Thing was like a smiley face on it, and I lost.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Yeah, the masked writer.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
What if we took to your premise and gave it
to this AI.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
That sounds good?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
That does sound good? Actually, Troy, can you give us one,
like one order from a chain restaurant that you feel
like is like underrated or like something that everybody should get.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Okay, So have you guys ever been to Texas Roadhouse?
I think?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Is that the with peanuts on the floor?
Speaker 7 (08:02):
Yeah, Yeah, they have a bucket of peanuts on the
starting to see the through line between this and Days
of Thunder.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Is very neuh.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
The bon in Ribbi at Texas is one of the
truly like wow loose of course, cannot lose.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Because that is it is That's that's an ambitious order
for a chain restaurant to go through it.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
Yeah, it will be perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned every
single time, and it's like twenty five dollars for a
twenty ounce bon in Ribbi. It's like easily one of
the best steak deals you can get, and they have
it everywhere. And because you're a Texas roadhouse, you get
a bucket of peanuts and those those rolls with the
cinnamon butter.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
People love the Yeah, I love the fucking rolls.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Texas roadhouses. Man, I'm I'm an evangelist.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
The way you think is the way you've reacted to
Mike me saying the place with peanuts on the floor
is leading me to believe that maybe it only has
peanuts on the floor when I'm there, like, are you
not supposed to just throw them the shell?
Speaker 7 (09:16):
What I remember is like it was like kinda yeah,
I guess people probably do just throw them on the floor.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
It's just me, we gotta look, we gotta look under
Jack's desk right now, because it's just.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
It looks like a hamster cage down there, just peanuts shells. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I don't know that they've actually got like a this
is fine.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
Yeah, I don't think, like the corporate manual is like,
so you know part of your side work is sprinkle
peanuts shells on the floor.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Sure, yeah, yeah, I think that maybe this was It
was also the last one I went to is when
I lived in Kentucky a long time ago, so maybe
maybe that was specific to Kentucky.
Speaker 8 (09:54):
I feel like you just sort of like sort of
like pig Pen from from Peanuts, you just got like
a cloud of peanut shells.
Speaker 9 (10:01):
Or at all.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Times, now that would have made sense why that strip
is called peanuts.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
He got peanuts, he does have peanut shell.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Kept waiting for punchline. What is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Okay? I think that learning new slang is overrated. I
think I think that the slang that you use should
be representative of your age. I don't think you need
to say, let's fucking go if you are forty years old.
I just feel like you used the slang you learned
when you were younger. I think slang should be I
(10:35):
think you hear someone speak slang and you know their age.
I don't like older people using newer slang.
Speaker 10 (10:40):
I think that's cool being let us fucking god see.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
I like that, boy, Yeah you got it, that is cool. Beans.
I just feel like because I you know, and that's
tea you know ultimately and ultimately, and.
Speaker 11 (10:53):
I'm sure I'm guilty of this as well, but I
do think it is the appropriation. I get so mad
when they're like, it's gen z slang and like black
people have been saying it for forty years.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Right, But it's just it's always it's always looked on
in a negative like like you know, the like Pokemon
go to the polls, which obviously wasn't something anyone even said,
but like.
Speaker 10 (11:14):
It's always all the time.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I guess you're right, but it's just always embarrassing when
older people try to use new slang. And I don't
think you need to, you know, I think you can
just use the slang like, you know, we can still
say things are tight. That's fine, that's our that's our culture,
you know. I don't think we need to add new stuff.
Tight was good, keep it up.
Speaker 10 (11:32):
But then how do you communicate with younger generations?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
How do you.
Speaker 10 (11:37):
Translate the text?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Why do you need to?
Speaker 10 (11:40):
Because when we go to the island, oh fuck, oh shit,
there we go.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
I got you. Yeah. The only reason the only reason
people use new slang is to be pad files.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
That should know.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
That is that's right, I'm Jane.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
That that is the beat generation called tea called weed tea.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
I just feel like I see a lot of older
people really trying hard to use young saying, and I
don't think you need to. I just don't think it's necessary.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
The Guardian has an article that's getting past around this
morning about Clavicular God, and the headline is the Disturbing
Rise of Clavicular How a look snax er turned his
horror story into fame there, like that.
Speaker 11 (12:30):
Would be one thing, like islf in the face with
a hammer, Like what what is he?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
All I've seen is him being talked about what is
he explaining?
Speaker 11 (12:41):
He's like a weird he makes first of all, he
makes fifty seven thousand dollars a year and think that's
I thinks that's a lot.
Speaker 10 (12:47):
And then it's like.
Speaker 11 (12:49):
He's like isn't that great? And he's like he's like
in the weird kind of the kickstreaming like young men.
He literally is like trying to look max. He thinks
that looks are the end all be all to everything.
He hid himself in the face with a hammer to
change his draw line. He also ran over a man
(13:11):
live on stream. I don't know if that guy died,
but like it was like insane, it was insane.
Speaker 10 (13:17):
He's like this weird He's like what twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Man, he sounds like he's manslaughter maxing a little too.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
It's unclear if he's manslaughter masking or gesture maxing.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
He is hot, though, right?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Is he hot?
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Like I saw one?
Speaker 8 (13:33):
Ye?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
He seems hot?
Speaker 10 (13:34):
Right, You've got to stop saying these children are.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I just means like twenty No, No, I just mean
it's not like he's like he like people regard him
as attractive, right, So that's like part of his thing,
I think.
Speaker 11 (13:47):
But I think he's like built himself into that. I
think he's just like a white.
Speaker 10 (13:51):
Boy, like you know what I mean. I think that's
his whole thing.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
He's uh. He's also said that he uses meth to
cut weight, and I know, which is a.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Culture we've all been doing for years, and to help
his addiction. Did he did did the hammer thing work?
Did he get like better?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I don't think any of this is real, by the way,
Like I don't I think we would. I think he
would be under arrest if he had actually hit that
guy with his car.
Speaker 10 (14:23):
You don't think that was real.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (14:25):
It seems I thought that that was like a guy
who was like a stalker.
Speaker 10 (14:29):
I thought he did have to go.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I don't know. I mean, maybe this this is based
on very little knowledge, but just everything I've heard, it
seems like he's like, I have taken so many steroids
that I'm now infertile. And it just seems like he
like says ship to like make the wildest character possible essentially,
(14:51):
And but I don't I haven't watched the video where
he allegedly runs over somebody with this.
Speaker 10 (14:55):
Also, maybe he didn't know his name is Brayden.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Peters, Bid Peters.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, Braiden. That's the first first thing of uh, looks
maxing is change your name if it's Braden.
Speaker 10 (15:11):
He called Gavin newsomit Chad. So that's cool, is it?
Speaker 9 (15:16):
No?
Speaker 10 (15:17):
I don't know what's happening.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
All right, let's take a quick break. We need to reset.
We will be back to talk about to alpha Alpha Matt,
I don't know, to two heroes, Rfkjinger and kid Rock.
Will be right back and we're back, and uh, let's
(15:46):
talk about war. That's what everybody's content. That's right, it's fun.
It's fun content. Uh, this is just you know, it
seems like the Trump is desperate for a distraction from
the Epsteam files and the ice s goons and the
(16:06):
economy and the naked corruption and like everything else that
you know is happening with the administration. So they're gonna
go full George W. Bush On on all of our asses.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Yeah, there's a lot of saber rattling going on. He's
claims he's negotiating a deal with Iran, but it's not
really clear what the ask is. Like they say this
is about the nuclear program. Iran has stated that they
are fine not having nukes, so it's like, okay, so
we're good, we're good. Here, they make up something else
(16:42):
that I need to get from this.
Speaker 8 (16:44):
The thing that he wants least is iron like cooperating,
which is so what a weird dynamic. They're just like
we can just fuck with him by going like yeah, right.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Yeah, exactly, sure, that's fine.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
It's all good to do it.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Because he he's the one that like blew up the
nuclear deal that though bother nuclear deal, he got rid
of it, and now they're like, make a nuclear deal, right,
we want a nuclear deal.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
It's all good.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Just like yeah, the whole thing is just kind of
like he did he breaks something and.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Then yeah, you know, but it's also like if you're Iran.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
It's so easy to be like yeah, okay, and then
just don't do it, because what's he's not even gonna know, Like,
it's like negotiating with like a five year old, just
like yeah whatever, just let's lie in his face.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Who cares? What's he going to do about it?
Speaker 1 (17:36):
We do, of course, know that the US is not
the only one negotiating here, and that Netya who's been
talking with Trump about these talks, and they probably both
they're coming from different places, they have different endgames. Trump
seems to be fine with being like I got Iran
to stop doing the nuke and then then yah, who
would rather drag the US and the world into World
(17:58):
War three?
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Yeah? So regional World War three? I guess they're all
pretty regional.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah, that's what I always refer to World War two
as a regional conflict. Personally, That's what I'm like, I'm
cool like that. Yeah, I don't know. At this point,
might be cool to start raising Israel's two hundred plus nukes.
Maybe that should be something that we introduced into the
(18:24):
conversation since they seem to na dog be a little
bit of loose cannony there.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
They're chill. They're the chillst and that's important to keep
in mind.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
That's right, all right, Moving on to AI, which I
do just feel like I'm seeing a lot of headlines
recently that it's just like, no, guys, but for real,
this time here comes AI to for real change your world.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
Do you know how fast this AI is going to
know facts from Days of Thunder?
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Do you know how fast? That's Troy your fucking toast bro.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I know, John Henry finish it.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
It does like every time this happens, I just do
need to go and do like a couple levels deep
research to be like, wait, is it actually amazing?
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Now?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Does it do anything good that like yeah, they still
I'm gonna be like, oh yeah, that's like they still
have the one thing where they like figured out the
structure of the proteins protein molecules.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
And like that was if that's if I may Jack,
I saw this in the notes.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
I will also point out, though they love to hold
up like the one time it works, because that's what
that's what they do for video creation, for like fucking
chatbot shit. It's like, oh my god, look at what
it can do, And they don't ever point out the
nine billion other nine nine nine billion other times that
it doesn't work. Yeah, so you know, great assault on
(19:57):
even the protein thing. It's just like it took so
many shots of the fucking dark, one of them had
to work, right.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
And like.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
That that video they were everybody was sharing of the AI,
Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt like that's another one of
the building, you know, and.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
It's like, yeah, that looks good. But whenever it goes
into close up, you're like, I kind of feel like
I saw this from seven.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
This is just a face from seven. Yeah, you know,
it's like that kind of thing. I kind of feel
like AI is only really gonna it'll it'll like work
to like supplement things.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah, you like when you just googled.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
Yeah, got your little uh the AI summary that you
that you just got a second ago. It'll be that
and like it'll work for porn. Yeah yeah, I think
those will be. Like the two things that the.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Tom Cruise and Brad pittsing too was just a face replace.
Speaker 8 (20:48):
They they they the Twitter people were like, oh, all
you know, it was like a blank thing. We just
said show me Tom Cruise and bradfit fighting. It turns
out it was like a shot video with a face replacement.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
They just put their faces on someone else, I think.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
But as far as I saw on like Blue Sky,
so who knows. Yeah, but we don't.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
We don't source things, we don't fact check things because
we hold ourselves to the same standard as the thing
we're discussing, which in this case does not fact check
anything and is permitted to hallucinate facts. But it just Yeah,
as best as I can tell, we're not seeing any
anything that's cool or like the change it Like even
(21:29):
if let's say the Brad Pitt Tom Cruise thing is
really they just type make Brad pit fight Tom Cruise
into a AI engine and it makes that video, Like
what does that do? Like who's that? How does that
change the world? Like I still haven't seen that thing
other than using it as a tool for like scientific
(21:52):
research and discovery. Great, yes, please keep doing that, but
they need all this and so it's just these like
broad pie in the sky things. The thing that made
me think about it was Adam Silver, the commissioner of
the NBA, who are have many problems going on with
(22:13):
their league and you know, owners and players directly funding
or participating in war crimes et cetera, et cetera. They are.
He like, gave this state of the League thing at
All Star weekend and he said, as I look at
the world and the predictions, and we're seeing much of
(22:34):
it already on how AI is changing everything about our
personal lives, our business lives. For me, there's no doubt
AI will have the same impact.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
On sports, oh do.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
What one area in particular that I think is worth
addressing is impact on the fan experience. One of the
things we're beginning to see already is how we're going
to more than personalized, almost hyper personalize our telecasts. That's
gonna suck so bad. Yeah, that's gonna be so bad.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
I think these people genuinely don't understand what a culture.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Is like, right Like, because these people the other thing
they bring.
Speaker 8 (23:14):
Up all the time is like, oh, you could get
it to generate an episode of Game of Thrones just
for you, starring you and your boys or whatever, And
it's like, that's not television. That's like a card for yourself.
No one else wants to see that, and then you're
just in a vacuum by yourself. It's so insane that
(23:34):
they think people want that.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
A lot of this stuff is like, oh, here's your
AI companion. Yeah, that's just sad.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Because anybody had a good experience with that, Like I
know people who have used it to be like, hey,
could you organize my computer? Like help me organize these files?
Has anyone had like a good personalized experience, Like I
feel like the way this is going to go is
you're gonna be watching an NBA game that like just
like compliments you. Yeah, and it is like look at
(24:04):
that play Jack. Yeah, it's amazing that you're watching this
NBA game. It's amazing that you asked about how many rebounds?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Really smart?
Speaker 8 (24:14):
Yeah, Like I I think it's just a what's the
definition of good? I think there are a lot of
people that enjoy that interaction, but I think the data
seems to be showing that's not good for them or
for anyone.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I think it'll be feeling good for video games, porn
and it's like a fun thing to play with, but
that's not how it's being pitched to anyone.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I feel like it's it's it'll work well as a
tool to help you get like cut down on how
much work you have to put into stuff, and then
it'll work for things where like the actual quality is
not that important, you know, That's right. That's that's where
like where it'll be.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
That's why I think you're I think you're right where
it's like, okay, it'll work kind of for video games
and help them code. And then there's like the weird
like AI girlfriend poor and stuff where it's like, you know,
these are guys who are buying flesh lights. They don't
care if she's got six fingers.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Ye got to consider that six six thing.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
So it's kind of like this, like I feel like
it's gotta be you know, it'll be helpful in as
a tool in stuff that requires quality control and people
can plug whatever into it and have it kick it
out for stuff that doesn't matter.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
I mean, like the personality pitch. Every time the AI
bros talk, it feels to me like their pitch basically
boils down to, hey, we've all wanted to have a slave, haven't.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
We And it's like, no, dog, what are you talking about?
That's genuinely how.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
They talked, Like whoa, what do you wanted this? And
it's like oh really, man.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Kind of like.
Speaker 9 (26:00):
Shit, yeah, it always it always kind of it reminds
me of like the Bitcoin stuff where it's kind of
maybe it's like underlying it is kind of like this,
like I can't function in normal society to it of
Like no, man, I don't want regular, actual money. I
need money where no one knows where it came from.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Or where it's going. I need like you know, my
bank accounts have been closed. Yeah what if?
Speaker 8 (26:27):
What if this dollar bill could be worth between half
and twice as much as it is at any given
second like that, Don't you.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
See the advantage? Man?
Speaker 7 (26:37):
Don't you see the advantage the government can't seize my assets.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
It's like, yeah, I do.
Speaker 7 (26:44):
But like, I got to admit, I've never really been
that concerned about that.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
That's weird that you're so worried about that.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Yeah, yeah, you know it's kind of like that kind
of thing.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yeah, just in terms of like what they're actually using for,
because this does seem to be a thing that Street
is starting to pay more and more attention to. Is
like okay, so like what when will there be results?
Because they're just shoveling money into AI research and there's
been a couple of studies recently. Some people have even suggested,
(27:16):
like this is why they're going so hard on the
like get ready to have your whole world fucking rocked, guys.
Is because there's like these surveys, like they just surveyed
thousands of CEOs and two thirds of executives use AI,
but they use it for an average of ninety minutes
a week, and like they they also are like trying.
(27:39):
You know, there was this initial pitch in twenty twenty
three from an AI researcher being like, this is going
to increase workers' performance by nearly forty percent once it's adopted,
and like, of the people who have adopted it, they
like haven't increased productivity at all, Like doesn't do the
thing that it's supposed to do. That is like the
(28:01):
entire promise of it.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
It's changed.
Speaker 8 (28:03):
I think it's changed the nature of a lot of
people's jobs if they're forced to use it because their
job has now become well, now I have to double
check that this lying machine right like is not lying
as much as it could be.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
It's just like you're.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Still spending the same amount of time. There's no faster
way to do that.
Speaker 7 (28:22):
The promise of it is definitely overrated so far. It's
kind of it always kind of feels like it's like
it's coming from people who maybe weren't who were good
at like tech and not at other stuff, and so
the tech to fix the other stuff, you know, Like
it's like, oh, it'll make sport.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I wasn't good at football, but it'll make football so
much better. I can't act, but I can do this
thing and that thing to make actors. It's always feels
like it's kind of this other thing.
Speaker 7 (28:52):
I feel like as far as like actual legitimate business,
it will help in some ways, but I mean it's
kind of part of the issue is that you don't
you're not okay with error from the robot. Right It's
like if you were going to get like an AI
travel assistant and ask it to book you flights and
like plan out and trip for you and it messes
(29:13):
that up. Oh you like don't you won't be okay
with that the way you'd go like, oh, my travel
agents and more on right, right, Like, it's like this
weird kind of thing where because it's a robot, it
needs to be perfect and it can't be perfect.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
Interest it's bad as I feel like people are on
the I've got the opposite side.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
Now.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
I'm like today I of course it makes the stake.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Yeah, right, but they yeah, Yeah, It's like at a
certain point though, Yeah, the results are going to start
becoming a problem for them. Like there's just this like
really broad learning curve that I feel like we are.
We're giving them a lot of grace with the like
learning curve of the AI because they are asking us too,
(29:58):
I guess because so much of their money is that Yeah.
Speaker 8 (30:01):
Because because the CEOs are just like, hey, true, yeah, yeah,
they needed to be true. They need to be able
to lay off forty percent of the workforce and that's
all they're Jones did for.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yes, Yeah, to go back to the NBA. Like, I
feel like this is like when AGM can't put a
winning team together. So they just keep like they're like, oh,
we're tanking. We're like just acquiring, you know, picks for
the future and like just selling this hope. And eventually
it's just like people get tired of that.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Amazon saw their share prices drop earlier this month that
after it was announced that they're spending two hundred billion
dollars on AI and people are like, but like, you
you don't have any results. Microsoft, same thing because people
they announced that the return on am but Ai investment
would be further off than anyone expected. But like, like
(30:57):
they're people were worried when they were spending two hundred
and fifty billion dollars in twenty twenty four. They're expected
to spend six hundred and fifty billion dollars in twenty
twenty six. So they're just ramping it up, and well,
it's also likely to show for it.
Speaker 8 (31:10):
There's something to show for. It will create our society.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
So that's right, this is gonna be great. You're all
gonna be out of.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
Work, Yeah, yeah, yeah, like it case scenario is that
it puts millions of people out of work.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Yeah, Troy, to your point about this being like the
tech the tech guys being like, this is gonna be great.
We just like won't ever have to interact with each other.
It reminds me of their uh solve for food when
they were like soilent. Yeah, you know how the worst
thing about getting nutrients and like getting through the day
(31:47):
is having to eat spend time eating delicious food. Well
we've we've solved for that. It's like this is like,
you know how the worst part of doing anything, like, yeah,
there's some busy work that's sucks. But it's just like
they just want to streamline everything, so there's no human
interaction at all in anybody's day. So yeah, I'm still
(32:08):
not still not buying.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
But I genuinely I have a theory that income disparity
in Silicon Valley, the barrier San Francisco specifically means that
there's not enough teens on the street.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
These guys, they're not They're dorks. And this is why
we're here.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
If we just need teens to tell them, these people
your fucking sociopathic nerds, their businesses would be in a
better spot.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Just important mean teenagers to San Francisco to the Bay Area.
This is a great pitch that Andrew. Andrew has two
goaded Hall of Fame theories. One is this and the
other is, uh, we just should never do satire. Satire
never works work. We just need to never do satire
(32:53):
ever again because people are just like American psycho that
should be a real guy clavicular.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
I watch it be Walter White, Yes exactly, let's.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Exactly uhl over people's heads here.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Yeah it does, and then people just like it. Yeah,
let's take a quick break. We'll come back and talk
about Reese's cups and whether they're getting worse. We'll be
right back and we're back, And did this cross? I
(33:33):
never I never know, you know. I'm on my in
my own little like Twitter social media bubble, but Pivot
Experience hit my feed like a second nine to eleven,
Just a.
Speaker 10 (33:51):
Second plane, I'll second, yeah, if you will.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
It's I think it's because it's like a single poster,
but at packs in so much information, so many fonts.
Speaker 11 (34:08):
I think if you look closely, you can see a
social Security number.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Yeah. I think there's seventeen different fonts on this one thing.
Speaker 10 (34:15):
Now that's a comedy flyer five.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Some as you probably have already heard, Game Changer Entertainment
presents Pivot Experience April twenty fifth, twenty twenty six. Had
you were.
Speaker 10 (34:30):
Where were you when you heard?
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Did you guys have plans before this? And I just
how easy were they to cancel?
Speaker 4 (34:37):
I just want to sleep through March April can not
come soon enough. The idea of waiting two plus months
for this, Yeah, friend sent it to me, for sure.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
He also he's kind of doing the pose of that
that Penis COVID guy, you know, that guy who kind
of who that that video, that picture that was sent
around to everyone during COVID of the guy who's kind
of like crouching with his penis out anyway whatever you.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
That stance.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
He looks like him.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Yes, I never thought of him as the penis COVID man,
but I know you're talking about the guy who's penis.
Speaker 10 (35:10):
Ye, that was a time. What were we doing this
man's dick around to each other.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Has that guy ever come out and like talked about it.
Speaker 10 (35:21):
I'm sure he has.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
I think people like your pandemic was weird.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
That sounds like I didn't even know there was a camera.
That sounds like a Jamie Loft this podcast episode, you
got to get that going.
Speaker 12 (35:38):
Yeah, the Jeremy pivoant experience. Right, So it's not the
Jeremy pivot experience. I'm sorry, Andrew, Jeremy. This is this
is a common mistake. There is no the there is
no Jeremy. It's just called pivoting.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
But do you know why. It's because they ran out
of letters on the fly.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
There there's so much text.
Speaker 10 (36:00):
Like an RB sign and there.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
They had a certain number of the close.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Yeah, they didn't even have the P and the H
for Philadelphia restaurant. So it's just Adelphia Restaurant in Deptford,
New Jersey, six thirty to eight thirty pm. Get ready
for an unforgettable night with Jeremy Piven.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Correct, technically my favorite part is says the think it's
a hundred already seating at the same table as Jeremy Piven.
So it's crazy that for only forty dollars. Actually you
can sit at his table table. How many seats?
Speaker 10 (36:44):
Also, I think we need to pull a fifty cent
and just buy all the rose around.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Yes, I am putting this out there, sorry, just real quick.
I need to make an offer two hour listeners. Oh yes,
anyone who is willing to go to this on April
Poh my god, please buy their ticket. Yeah, we'll pay
for your ticket. Oh and we will interview you on
the show.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
Oh my god.
Speaker 10 (37:09):
But like me fly out.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
I just want you there as an observer. I don't
want you to like go I'm weird to Jeremy Piven out,
you know, I just I want you to tell me
what is happening, like go in as an observer, just
on the inside.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
So it's from six thirty to eight thirty. It's obviously
a lot of food, the VIP tickets, you sit at
the same table as Jeremy Piven. I think, I honestly
think all this is is just eating in the same
restaurant as Jeremy, as Jeremy Pistons.
Speaker 10 (37:38):
I don't think it's even gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Some secretaries like.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
You're gonna have dinner, You're gonna have dinner this day.
But that's what's so crazy, because it's like, if he's
sitting at a table, he's not doing a show, he's
just eating dinner.
Speaker 11 (37:54):
But that is actually funnier than his stand up. I
have done shows with Oh, okay, so this is I've
done shows with him. He and like Anne Hash started
around the same time, and she actually had like potential,
you know, like she she actually had His was just
like and then me and this celebrity like did this
other fucking thing.
Speaker 10 (38:16):
It was weird.
Speaker 11 (38:16):
It was weird, but she actually had like vulnerability and
his like I was just like, like, no, everybody knows
you're an asshole already, dude.
Speaker 10 (38:25):
Get off the stage. You don't need to confirm it
like you have to.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
There are famous assholes in this town of Hollywood that.
Speaker 10 (38:35):
We were here known for it.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
He is known to be such an asshole that like
it damaged his career. Like there are people who like
won't come out of their trailer like for like reasons
that like just because there's like the wrong Eminem's or
whatever and their trailer and shit, and like he is
known for being difficult, like to be so difficult that
it derails your career in Hollywood. And there are many
(38:59):
other things that you know, there have been accusations of.
Speaker 13 (39:03):
Sexual wi to comedy, yes, but just you also got
mercury poisoning from eating too much sushi allegedly, and then
a lot of like industry groups came out and were like, that's.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Not what happened, that that you won't get mercury poisoning.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
Luckily, there's a steak. Luckily there's a steak option at
the Pivot experience, because that's right, the.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Community grilled salmon, black angus sirloin, steak, chicken parmegano with
linguini and penne prima era. Those are your entrees. Starters
are soup of the day, salad. And then you really
get the sense that they ran out of energy as
(39:46):
this thing went on, because for just for then we
go to dessert and it just says included.
Speaker 4 (39:52):
That's my favorite.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Why you got so many questions?
Speaker 11 (39:55):
But that lineup, that's the incredible openers.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
That included like they're like, I don't know, man, I'm tired.
We listed five.
Speaker 10 (40:04):
Take what we got? Okay, you a bitch.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
It's incredible.
Speaker 11 (40:11):
Also, the license plate Ari's Ferrari, it's just like, oh,
you know, that's like actually probably.
Speaker 10 (40:19):
His license plate.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
It is, and you will get a free Aris Fry
or Ari's Ferrari license plate.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (40:28):
Free license plate?
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Yeah? How big?
Speaker 8 (40:30):
We're thinking, Yeah, I think it's like a giant check.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
It's funny they have in the picture of him looking
like the big dick Kovie guy. Did you then just
have his personalized license plate hovering in the air in
front of him, like with nothing seemingly holding it up
so that people are like, this is the Their insistence
(41:01):
on repeatedly reminding anyone looking at this that it is
Entourage's Ari Gold has to make Piven experience some rage.
Speaker 4 (41:13):
You know, Well, I gotta say, I really hope he
comes west and does one at California.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
That would be.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
My favorite restaurant, Aliforia, California dessert include.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
And then just checking in with the epsteam files. There
are people facing consequences for their exposure in the epsteam
files when those consequences are convenient. Like JB. Pritzker's cousin,
Thomas J. Pritzker, a billionaire heir to the Hyatt Hotel's fortune,
stepped down from his role. But he's like seventy five.
He's probably like weeks away from doing this. Anyways. We
(41:52):
got Peter Atia, who is like the wellness influencer, and
he stepped down from his role as chief science officer
of a protein bar brand, David Protein.
Speaker 10 (42:06):
Worst fucking.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Fun.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
I've seen ads for this and I sent a picture
of it to my friend David, but it's like a
year ago, and the ads don't even say protein by
the way, They just say David and then it has
a picture of a protein bar. It's the worst advertising for.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
Her, so they and also ag One said in a
statement doctor Atia is no longer an advisor to the company.
I do hope David Protein's able to survive without him.
As you mentioned, Sultan Augma ed beIN Solim has been
fired and stepped down. One of the least predictable outcomes
(42:44):
is the death of Jimmy Fallon's line of pasta sauces.
Speaker 9 (42:49):
This is.
Speaker 11 (42:51):
And that's so crazy because I knew he had apasta
sauce before this for sure.
Speaker 4 (42:56):
Well, how's it come out yet?
Speaker 1 (42:57):
Oh, I don't want to overuse the comparison to a
second nine to eleven here on the eleven, but finding
out that Jimmy Fallon and Tommy Mottola's line of pasta
sauces fucking.
Speaker 11 (43:12):
Insane, the man known for destroying Mariah Carey and also
Tommy Mottola show.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
So their pasta sauce line was scheduled for twenty twenty seven,
but those plans have been halted by the fact that
Matola is mentioned more than six hundred times in Epstein files.
Speaker 4 (43:36):
And I'm fucked because I had already planned out my
meal calendar for all twenty seven and a big part
this pasta sauce.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
So bearing part of my meal plan the whole year.
Speaker 10 (43:49):
I'm over here.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
David Carved, David Carr. David Carves is a great thing
that say to your friend David, but he need get
too car They were protein more like David Carbs over here.
So uh that that has put a halt on the
on the line of pasta sauceas technically Fallon is also
(44:16):
mentioned in the files, but it is not the most
incriminating context. Actually, Woody Allen's wife ex stepdaughter, sun Ye
announced that she was taking her daughter and a friend
to see a Fallon taping and then said, what we
do for our kids? Am I right?
Speaker 10 (44:35):
Also thought he wasn't funny?
Speaker 1 (44:37):
Yeah, Fallon is so insufferable that someone who spends every
day with Woody Allen was like this fucking guy.
Speaker 4 (44:45):
Well, I will say her husband did a lot for
his kids, sousband, he did a lot for his kids,
So that's that's right for his daughter wife that I
also like, I was thinking, I saw this email from
Sunni and it'd be kind of cool if we all
in solidarity changed our email sign up to send from
(45:08):
Suni's iPhone. You guys, don't do that with me. That's
so good iPhone, let's do it.
Speaker 11 (45:15):
Come on, I didn't know we weren't supposed to have
been doing that for years.
Speaker 10 (45:21):
You've been on that, so I no one's responding.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
But Tommy Mottola is another one of these guys who
uh career for all intents and purposes, is you know,
in the rear view mirror and has discussed needing to
quote shut up and lay low with scene. Oh wait, no,
I'm sorry, this is not right now. This is him.
This is what he discussed with Epstein during the Me
too movement.
Speaker 4 (45:49):
Oh my god? Whoa.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
And he's also helped Epstein find a private detective as
as many secrets were threatened following Miami Herald expose on
his private island. Those are quotes from a Hollywood Reporter article,
so he was actively helping Epstein cover up his things
and also being like, I better stay out of the limelight.
Speaker 11 (46:14):
Dear released sex offender. I do think that the times
are calling for accountability and I shall not persist.
Speaker 10 (46:25):
That's so fucking crazy.
Speaker 1 (46:27):
It's all it's like every email, it's just like it's
not that these people were acquaintances. They're all like best
friends with him, Like they're The way they talk to
him is like they're like checking in to let him
know where they're at throughout the day, Like, hey, hey,
I'm at fallon the things we do for our kids. Hey, anyways,
(46:50):
see you later on.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
Brother.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
It's like, what the fuck.
Speaker 4 (46:53):
Isn't anyone in my life that I'm in touch with
as these people.
Speaker 1 (47:00):
Jeffrey Epstein, then I am with my mother.
Speaker 11 (47:02):
I can't think of telling anyone in my life that
I went to fallon, right, Yeah, the level of vulnerability
vulnerabilding exactly.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
Yeah, But I do just want to because so Jimmy
Fallen starting a pasta sauce with Tyy Matola did seem
a little bit confounding to me at first. It's just
the latest kind of weird business venture. First of all,
they were like known for going to rowse together like
that the Italian restaurant that like launched a famous pasta
(47:33):
sauce brand. So I don't know where they got this
genius idea from, Like you can just like see how
their brains work. Wait a second, but then he has
also basically turned the Tonight Show into his own personal QBC,
like when he hawked his own line of wildly expensive
pajamas dubbed p Jimmy's from Alex Mill. Other times, it's
(47:58):
less clear he's using his show content to enrich himself.
We mentioned before when he got into trouble after extolling
the virtues of NFTs with Paris Hilton. Do you do
you guys remember that clip?
Speaker 9 (48:09):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (48:09):
Yeah, horrific.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
It is like it needs to be in a museum somewhere.
It's so strange. It's just the whole. It captures the
weird NFT moment. It captures the weird experience of being
in a studio audience where they're like, come on, people,
Jimmy needs it. You gotta and you gotta laugh. And
then just like the nervous laughter of a room full
(48:32):
of people, and it's just it again, feels like a
Tim and Eric like sketch that's supposed to feel like
a like a bad acid trip.
Speaker 4 (48:40):
I'm so embarrassed that it worked on me. And I
did buy a board. I'm sob my a my aim.
Speaker 10 (48:50):
That's our stella, our generation.
Speaker 1 (48:56):
He didn't disclose that he had a financial stake in
that company, and so he got into chocolate water. Yeah
he did get Oh, you know, gets into hot water.
Speaker 4 (49:05):
Is pasta there we go that gets into hot water.
I'll tell you that much.
Speaker 11 (49:11):
I do love that, Like the most predictable things happened,
Like if I were to write a movie about any
of these people, that would happen to the Jimmy Fallon.
Speaker 4 (49:19):
Character in my movie.
Speaker 11 (49:21):
Yeah, it's like, oh, the things that you thought would happen,
are happening?
Speaker 10 (49:25):
Incredible?
Speaker 1 (49:26):
Yeah, and so he got in trouble with that, like
in during the pandemic. In twenty twenty four, he invested
in the new golf League TGL and then four days
later hosted TGL golfers on his show to talk about
the endeavor, and at no point did he discuss he
had any financial ties. There was an episode last year
where he interviewed Adam Goldstein, CEO of Archer Aviation, and
(49:50):
they spent several minutes hyping the company, claiming their flying
cars are like stepping into the future. And then he
appeared in a promotional video for the company in which
he would and shut up about the design, safety, and
leg room of the Midnight Aircraft. And then people are like,
he's definitely first of all, the videos are alive. They're
(50:10):
misrepresenting like the progress of their flying cars. And apparently
he paid Jimmy Fallon millions for the Tonight Show spot
and like it's like just illegal ship, Like he's just
tied up.
Speaker 11 (50:24):
So just fucking sad, Like comedy used to mean something
to white guys.
Speaker 4 (50:33):
Yeah, it's like, yeah, if there's any way to explode
on the cultural guys. It's too up here on fallon,
so I forget it. That's right, that's how you that's
how you go big.
Speaker 2 (50:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (50:47):
But it's like with these it's like with him, it's
like why does he need more? Like you're already making
a lot of money being on TV all the time,
Like why do you also need to like be shady?
Speaker 2 (50:56):
It's so weird.
Speaker 11 (50:56):
Not the money, it's the content. This man is doesn't
know how to write jokes anymore.
Speaker 4 (51:03):
So you're like promoting brands and stuff that you have
a stake, and it's just so bizarre.
Speaker 10 (51:07):
That's because at heart he's an influencer.
Speaker 4 (51:09):
Right, you're right, you're right, you're right. He cares about
selling ads.
Speaker 1 (51:13):
Yeah, he's kind of very greatest influencer him.
Speaker 4 (51:15):
Anyways, Wait, doesn't he have like an ad TV show
or something like a TV show where he.
Speaker 11 (51:19):
Yeah, where he gets regular people to create marketing him
and like bows from Real Housewives who used to be
like in charge of like rebranding Uber after everybody was
like your CEO is fucked up. So it's like her
and him and they're just getting like regular people to
be like yeah, ads to do ads.
Speaker 1 (51:43):
Christ, So it's like Shark Tank. But you're like pitching them, yeah,
to pitch their company to people.
Speaker 4 (51:50):
Yeah, don't get paid to do it, probably, yes, yeah.
Speaker 3 (51:53):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
Ten dollars in the home edition of this game. Yeah.
All right, Well, anyways, Jimmy's okay. His pasta sauce is not.
And I just wanted to assure everybody about that because
I think if you if you google Tommy Mottola Epstein,
this is the story. Just keep saying marrying just all
(52:16):
about Jimmy fallon pasta, can't be super excited about. All right,
that's gonna do it for this week's Weekly Zeitgeist. Please
like and review the show If you like, the show
means the world to Miles. He he needs your validation, folks.
I hope you're having a great weekend and I will
(52:38):
talk to him Monday. By think
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from
this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment laugh stravaganza. Yeah, so,
without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist. Blake. You know,
(00:26):
we like to ask our guests, what is something from
your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Don't know?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Now, I know you're gonna ask that I have been
written down right in front of me. My Google search
is revealing of well, how did you put it?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Who I am?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I looked at I looked up Love is Blind Malibu
and this is no I'm not giving away any spoilers,
but so they sent each Love is Blind. They send
them on these idiots on a honeymoon in Mexico generally,
but this time they sent one of the couples to
Malibu and didn't explain why. And I was like, so
(01:07):
they sent all the couples to Mexico and then just
one couple the Malibu And I'm like, is there a
passport issue?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Again? Why wouldn't they send them?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
And it just it.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Turns out that's what I thought too, But it was
just they ran out of money to send the couple.
And this is a small company, a small streamer.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Yeah, I haven't seen this is part of the this
is from the new season.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
From the new season, and it's not important to the
plot whatsoever, but it and it's not like I mean,
it's it's not that much. I mean for a streamer,
it's not that much to send one more couple to
this weird resort. So they just send them the Malibu instead.
It's very strange, and it turns out it's because they
didn't have the budget to send one more couple to Mexico.
(01:57):
And also this couple, I believe they chose them because
there there wasn't like any beef between them and the
other couples. So they're right, well, they all need to
be in the same spot. We can just send them
over to Malibu. That's a good question. Yeah, that's a
good point from Catherine to producer Katherine were wouldn't Malibu
could conceivably cost more?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Where they said, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I'm not nobu or some one of.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
The producers houses or something like.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
That, you know, Yeah, probably they probably knew somebody, right,
I guess, because that's the secret about Netflix is like,
despite their crazy earnings, they are just like farming shipped
out to production companies that are like going bankrupt in
a case, trying to produce these.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Things non union. Yeah. Yeah, Like the people who made
fucking Squid Game were like, we're fucked over here. Netflix
is doing great things, not so good over here.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
For for us, well, stocks is all we all we
care about anyway, It doesn't really matter that's going up.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
The important thing is that the sharehold holders are exactly
getting value.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
And despite the Dow is over fifty thousand, guys they
said it.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Would never happen.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Okay, thank you, Judge, and we are changing and you
can edit this out if you're not announcing this yet,
but we are removing the Zeit Gang label and replacing
it with shareholders. So the fans of the show just shareholders.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
You're in the shareholders, Yeah, shareholders, and thank you to
the shareholders. Thank you to the shareholders. Absolutely the shareholders.
The day one t d z.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
S dollars sign is yeah, because that's our stock.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Trait ZiT coin is coming.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Coin is coming, and people were asking about that in
the anniversary of the two thought, look, we're still working
on it. Okay, we're still just get ready. This seems
to be bigger all the other crypto crypton.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
By the dip. We're about to buy the dip like
you've never seen before.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Dude.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
I'm about to buy the dip like I'm on my
way to a Super Bowl party.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Right with a wheelbarrow.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Seven layer.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
That's how deep this dip does go. Unfortunately, it does
appear to be that the NFT market is completely dead.
But if you say so, yeah, exactly if what they
say I and I love that people are believing that,
because that's just making me mumnay.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Oh my god, now I can finally buy that board ape.
Justin Bieber was sitting on.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
The one that they're getting sued for having tried to sell?
Is that what everybody who did the board ape or
like the the Jimmy Fallon one. Yeah, they're all like
being sued by people for me like you said, this
was I think Jake Paul it was recently revealed, or
Logan one of.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
The logans also, they're all in that.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Fuck yeah, they rand the one that he bought for Rand,
the Jake rand Ron, all.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
The Paul brothers. But the headliner last week was how
Justin Bieber bought that board ape for a one point
three million and now it's worth twelve thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Twelve thousand seems like a lot to me. Honestly, twelve
thousand seems like maybe two thousands.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
A lot, bro, But yeah, just on that, on that,
just if you're just street and guess who's been blown up?
Justin Bieber trying to take that off his hands. You
know what I'm saying, sor by the dip over here,
what is something Troy that you think is underrated?
Speaker 7 (05:21):
Chain restaurants under Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, restaurant's very underrated.
I feel like certain ones better than others. But you know,
I think I think you can't really you need to
appreciate the ability to be in almost any city in
the country and go cheesecake factory. Yeah, I'll be at
(05:43):
least satisfied. Yeah, you know, you know, there's no like
mistakes stuffed.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
You know, there's certain things that hit with like almost
every chain restaurant, Like any anything in an egg roll
like yeah, you know, like that's just been like fried
crispy and has various supream cheese ingredients inside is just
like come on, that's.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Gonna be good every version of mac and cheese.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Yep, there's a reason those ships are chained up. There's
they're good.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
They used to not be chained restaurants.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
I can tell you that much.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I will.
Speaker 8 (06:17):
I will say this and my genuinely I'm on somewhere
on social media public record. My friend Catherine, who's like
a food journalist, like an honest to god, full ass
full food journalist, did like an Instagram poll or something
one time. It was like, what's the most underrated restaurant
in Los Angeles? I replied, it is the Arby's that
(06:37):
is on Sunset Boulevard, by the way, rip to that
arby And she did say that one got the most
responses of people being like it actually is it is.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
This one and this one.
Speaker 8 (06:51):
It's so rated, so low, and it is fucking awesome,
even if it doesn't just anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, it used to, Yeah, I used to. I used
to stop at that stop at that Arby's and really
crash out. Yeah, really just like blackout and come and
then leave with I order all.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
This that Arby's.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Is that you just left a general meeting in Hollywood
and it didn't go right, and you're about to get
on the highway Arby's.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, it's right next to the Netflix quarter.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yeah, and you just said to yourself, like, you know
what fringe dips.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
They had me pitch off next to a U iad Ahi.
Thing was like a smiley face on it, and I lost.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Yeah, the masked writer.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
What if we took to your premise and gave it
to this AI.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
That sounds good?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
That does sound good? Actually, Troy, can you give us one,
like one order from a chain restaurant that you feel
like is like underrated or like something that everybody should get.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Okay, So have you guys ever been to Texas Roadhouse?
I think?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Is that the with peanuts on the floor?
Speaker 7 (08:02):
Yeah, Yeah, they have a bucket of peanuts on the
starting to see the through line between this and Days
of Thunder.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Is very neuh.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
The bon in Ribbi at Texas is one of the
truly like wow loose of course, cannot lose.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Because that is it is That's that's an ambitious order
for a chain restaurant to go through it.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
Yeah, it will be perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned every
single time, and it's like twenty five dollars for a
twenty ounce bon in Ribbi. It's like easily one of
the best steak deals you can get, and they have
it everywhere. And because you're a Texas roadhouse, you get
a bucket of peanuts and those those rolls with the
cinnamon butter.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
People love the Yeah, I love the fucking rolls.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Texas roadhouses. Man, I'm I'm an evangelist.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
The way you think is the way you've reacted to
Mike me saying the place with peanuts on the floor
is leading me to believe that maybe it only has
peanuts on the floor when I'm there, like, are you
not supposed to just throw them the shell?
Speaker 7 (09:16):
What I remember is like it was like kinda yeah,
I guess people probably do just throw them on the floor.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
It's just me, we gotta look, we gotta look under
Jack's desk right now, because it's just.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
It looks like a hamster cage down there, just peanuts shells. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I don't know that they've actually got like a this
is fine.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
Yeah, I don't think, like the corporate manual is like,
so you know part of your side work is sprinkle
peanuts shells on the floor.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Sure, yeah, yeah, I think that maybe this was It
was also the last one I went to is when
I lived in Kentucky a long time ago, so maybe
maybe that was specific to Kentucky.
Speaker 8 (09:54):
I feel like you just sort of like sort of
like pig Pen from from Peanuts, you just got like
a cloud of peanut shells.
Speaker 9 (10:01):
Or at all.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Times, now that would have made sense why that strip
is called peanuts.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
He got peanuts, he does have peanut shell.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Kept waiting for punchline. What is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Okay? I think that learning new slang is overrated. I
think I think that the slang that you use should
be representative of your age. I don't think you need
to say, let's fucking go if you are forty years old.
I just feel like you used the slang you learned
when you were younger. I think slang should be I
(10:35):
think you hear someone speak slang and you know their age.
I don't like older people using newer slang.
Speaker 10 (10:40):
I think that's cool being let us fucking god see.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
I like that, boy, Yeah you got it, that is cool. Beans.
I just feel like because I you know, and that's
tea you know ultimately and ultimately, and.
Speaker 11 (10:53):
I'm sure I'm guilty of this as well, but I
do think it is the appropriation. I get so mad
when they're like, it's gen z slang and like black
people have been saying it for forty years.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Right, But it's just it's always it's always looked on
in a negative like like you know, the like Pokemon
go to the polls, which obviously wasn't something anyone even said,
but like.
Speaker 10 (11:14):
It's always all the time.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I guess you're right, but it's just always embarrassing when
older people try to use new slang. And I don't
think you need to, you know, I think you can
just use the slang like, you know, we can still
say things are tight. That's fine, that's our that's our culture,
you know. I don't think we need to add new stuff.
Tight was good, keep it up.
Speaker 10 (11:32):
But then how do you communicate with younger generations?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
How do you.
Speaker 10 (11:37):
Translate the text?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Why do you need to?
Speaker 10 (11:40):
Because when we go to the island, oh fuck, oh shit,
there we go.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
I got you. Yeah. The only reason the only reason
people use new slang is to be pad files.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
That should know.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
That is that's right, I'm Jane.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
That that is the beat generation called tea called weed tea.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
I just feel like I see a lot of older
people really trying hard to use young saying, and I
don't think you need to. I just don't think it's necessary.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
The Guardian has an article that's getting past around this
morning about Clavicular God, and the headline is the Disturbing
Rise of Clavicular How a look snax er turned his
horror story into fame there, like that.
Speaker 11 (12:30):
Would be one thing, like islf in the face with
a hammer, Like what what is he?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
All I've seen is him being talked about what is
he explaining?
Speaker 11 (12:41):
He's like a weird he makes first of all, he
makes fifty seven thousand dollars a year and think that's
I thinks that's a lot.
Speaker 10 (12:47):
And then it's like.
Speaker 11 (12:49):
He's like isn't that great? And he's like he's like
in the weird kind of the kickstreaming like young men.
He literally is like trying to look max. He thinks
that looks are the end all be all to everything.
He hid himself in the face with a hammer to
change his draw line. He also ran over a man
(13:11):
live on stream. I don't know if that guy died,
but like it was like insane, it was insane.
Speaker 10 (13:17):
He's like this weird He's like what twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Man, he sounds like he's manslaughter maxing a little too.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
It's unclear if he's manslaughter masking or gesture maxing.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
He is hot, though, right?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Is he hot?
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Like I saw one?
Speaker 8 (13:33):
Ye?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
He seems hot?
Speaker 10 (13:34):
Right, You've got to stop saying these children are.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I just means like twenty No, No, I just mean
it's not like he's like he like people regard him
as attractive, right, So that's like part of his thing,
I think.
Speaker 11 (13:47):
But I think he's like built himself into that. I
think he's just like a white.
Speaker 10 (13:51):
Boy, like you know what I mean. I think that's
his whole thing.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
He's uh. He's also said that he uses meth to
cut weight, and I know, which is a.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Culture we've all been doing for years, and to help
his addiction. Did he did did the hammer thing work?
Did he get like better?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I don't think any of this is real, by the way,
Like I don't I think we would. I think he
would be under arrest if he had actually hit that
guy with his car.
Speaker 10 (14:23):
You don't think that was real.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (14:25):
It seems I thought that that was like a guy
who was like a stalker.
Speaker 10 (14:29):
I thought he did have to go.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I don't know. I mean, maybe this this is based
on very little knowledge, but just everything I've heard, it
seems like he's like, I have taken so many steroids
that I'm now infertile. And it just seems like he
like says ship to like make the wildest character possible essentially,
(14:51):
And but I don't I haven't watched the video where
he allegedly runs over somebody with this.
Speaker 10 (14:55):
Also, maybe he didn't know his name is Brayden.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Peters, Bid Peters.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, Braiden. That's the first first thing of uh, looks
maxing is change your name if it's Braden.
Speaker 10 (15:11):
He called Gavin newsomit Chad. So that's cool, is it?
Speaker 9 (15:16):
No?
Speaker 10 (15:17):
I don't know what's happening.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
All right, let's take a quick break. We need to reset.
We will be back to talk about to alpha Alpha Matt,
I don't know, to two heroes, Rfkjinger and kid Rock.
Will be right back and we're back, and uh, let's
(15:46):
talk about war. That's what everybody's content. That's right, it's fun.
It's fun content. Uh, this is just you know, it
seems like the Trump is desperate for a distraction from
the Epsteam files and the ice s goons and the
(16:06):
economy and the naked corruption and like everything else that
you know is happening with the administration. So they're gonna
go full George W. Bush On on all of our asses.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Yeah, there's a lot of saber rattling going on. He's
claims he's negotiating a deal with Iran, but it's not
really clear what the ask is. Like they say this
is about the nuclear program. Iran has stated that they
are fine not having nukes, so it's like, okay, so
we're good, we're good. Here, they make up something else
(16:42):
that I need to get from this.
Speaker 8 (16:44):
The thing that he wants least is iron like cooperating,
which is so what a weird dynamic. They're just like
we can just fuck with him by going like yeah, right.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Yeah, exactly, sure, that's fine.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
It's all good to do it.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Because he he's the one that like blew up the
nuclear deal that though bother nuclear deal, he got rid
of it, and now they're like, make a nuclear deal, right,
we want a nuclear deal.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
It's all good.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Just like yeah, the whole thing is just kind of
like he did he breaks something and.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Then yeah, you know, but it's also like if you're Iran.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
It's so easy to be like yeah, okay, and then
just don't do it, because what's he's not even gonna know, Like,
it's like negotiating with like a five year old, just
like yeah whatever, just let's lie in his face.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Who cares? What's he going to do about it?
Speaker 1 (17:36):
We do, of course, know that the US is not
the only one negotiating here, and that Netya who's been
talking with Trump about these talks, and they probably both
they're coming from different places, they have different endgames. Trump
seems to be fine with being like I got Iran
to stop doing the nuke and then then yah, who
would rather drag the US and the world into World
(17:58):
War three?
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Yeah? So regional World War three? I guess they're all
pretty regional.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah, that's what I always refer to World War two
as a regional conflict. Personally, That's what I'm like, I'm
cool like that. Yeah, I don't know. At this point,
might be cool to start raising Israel's two hundred plus nukes.
Maybe that should be something that we introduced into the
(18:24):
conversation since they seem to na dog be a little
bit of loose cannony there.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
They're chill. They're the chillst and that's important to keep
in mind.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
That's right, all right, Moving on to AI, which I
do just feel like I'm seeing a lot of headlines
recently that it's just like, no, guys, but for real,
this time here comes AI to for real change your world.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
Do you know how fast this AI is going to
know facts from Days of Thunder?
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Do you know how fast? That's Troy your fucking toast bro.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I know, John Henry finish it.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
It does like every time this happens, I just do
need to go and do like a couple levels deep
research to be like, wait, is it actually amazing?
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Now?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Does it do anything good that like yeah, they still
I'm gonna be like, oh yeah, that's like they still
have the one thing where they like figured out the
structure of the proteins protein molecules.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
And like that was if that's if I may Jack,
I saw this in the notes.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
I will also point out, though they love to hold
up like the one time it works, because that's what
that's what they do for video creation, for like fucking
chatbot shit. It's like, oh my god, look at what
it can do, And they don't ever point out the
nine billion other nine nine nine billion other times that
it doesn't work. Yeah, so you know, great assault on
(19:57):
even the protein thing. It's just like it took so
many shots of the fucking dark, one of them had
to work, right.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
And like.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
That that video they were everybody was sharing of the AI,
Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt like that's another one of
the building, you know, and.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
It's like, yeah, that looks good. But whenever it goes
into close up, you're like, I kind of feel like
I saw this from seven.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
This is just a face from seven. Yeah, you know,
it's like that kind of thing. I kind of feel
like AI is only really gonna it'll it'll like work
to like supplement things.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah, you like when you just googled.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
Yeah, got your little uh the AI summary that you
that you just got a second ago. It'll be that
and like it'll work for porn. Yeah yeah, I think
those will be. Like the two things that the.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Tom Cruise and Brad pittsing too was just a face replace.
Speaker 8 (20:48):
They they they the Twitter people were like, oh, all
you know, it was like a blank thing. We just
said show me Tom Cruise and bradfit fighting. It turns
out it was like a shot video with a face replacement.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
They just put their faces on someone else, I think.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
But as far as I saw on like Blue Sky,
so who knows. Yeah, but we don't.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
We don't source things, we don't fact check things because
we hold ourselves to the same standard as the thing
we're discussing, which in this case does not fact check
anything and is permitted to hallucinate facts. But it just Yeah,
as best as I can tell, we're not seeing any
anything that's cool or like the change it Like even
(21:29):
if let's say the Brad Pitt Tom Cruise thing is
really they just type make Brad pit fight Tom Cruise
into a AI engine and it makes that video, Like
what does that do? Like who's that? How does that
change the world? Like I still haven't seen that thing
other than using it as a tool for like scientific
(21:52):
research and discovery. Great, yes, please keep doing that, but
they need all this and so it's just these like
broad pie in the sky things. The thing that made
me think about it was Adam Silver, the commissioner of
the NBA, who are have many problems going on with
(22:13):
their league and you know, owners and players directly funding
or participating in war crimes et cetera, et cetera. They are.
He like, gave this state of the League thing at
All Star weekend and he said, as I look at
the world and the predictions, and we're seeing much of
(22:34):
it already on how AI is changing everything about our
personal lives, our business lives. For me, there's no doubt
AI will have the same impact.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
On sports, oh do.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
What one area in particular that I think is worth
addressing is impact on the fan experience. One of the
things we're beginning to see already is how we're going
to more than personalized, almost hyper personalize our telecasts. That's
gonna suck so bad. Yeah, that's gonna be so bad.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
I think these people genuinely don't understand what a culture.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Is like, right Like, because these people the other thing
they bring.
Speaker 8 (23:14):
Up all the time is like, oh, you could get
it to generate an episode of Game of Thrones just
for you, starring you and your boys or whatever, And
it's like, that's not television. That's like a card for yourself.
No one else wants to see that, and then you're
just in a vacuum by yourself. It's so insane that
(23:34):
they think people want that.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
A lot of this stuff is like, oh, here's your
AI companion. Yeah, that's just sad.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Because anybody had a good experience with that, Like I
know people who have used it to be like, hey,
could you organize my computer? Like help me organize these files?
Has anyone had like a good personalized experience, Like I
feel like the way this is going to go is
you're gonna be watching an NBA game that like just
like compliments you. Yeah, and it is like look at
(24:04):
that play Jack. Yeah, it's amazing that you're watching this
NBA game. It's amazing that you asked about how many rebounds?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Really smart?
Speaker 8 (24:14):
Yeah, Like I I think it's just a what's the
definition of good? I think there are a lot of
people that enjoy that interaction, but I think the data
seems to be showing that's not good for them or
for anyone.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I think it'll be feeling good for video games, porn
and it's like a fun thing to play with, but
that's not how it's being pitched to anyone.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I feel like it's it's it'll work well as a
tool to help you get like cut down on how
much work you have to put into stuff, and then
it'll work for things where like the actual quality is
not that important, you know, That's right. That's that's where
like where it'll be.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
That's why I think you're I think you're right where
it's like, okay, it'll work kind of for video games
and help them code. And then there's like the weird
like AI girlfriend poor and stuff where it's like, you know,
these are guys who are buying flesh lights. They don't
care if she's got six fingers.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Ye got to consider that six six thing.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
So it's kind of like this, like I feel like
it's gotta be you know, it'll be helpful in as
a tool in stuff that requires quality control and people
can plug whatever into it and have it kick it
out for stuff that doesn't matter.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
I mean, like the personality pitch. Every time the AI
bros talk, it feels to me like their pitch basically
boils down to, hey, we've all wanted to have a slave, haven't.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
We And it's like, no, dog, what are you talking about?
That's genuinely how.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
They talked, Like whoa, what do you wanted this? And
it's like oh really, man.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Kind of like.
Speaker 9 (26:00):
Shit, yeah, it always it always kind of it reminds
me of like the Bitcoin stuff where it's kind of
maybe it's like underlying it is kind of like this,
like I can't function in normal society to it of
Like no, man, I don't want regular, actual money. I
need money where no one knows where it came from.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Or where it's going. I need like you know, my
bank accounts have been closed. Yeah what if?
Speaker 8 (26:27):
What if this dollar bill could be worth between half
and twice as much as it is at any given
second like that, Don't you.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
See the advantage? Man?
Speaker 7 (26:37):
Don't you see the advantage the government can't seize my assets.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
It's like, yeah, I do.
Speaker 7 (26:44):
But like, I got to admit, I've never really been
that concerned about that.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
That's weird that you're so worried about that.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Yeah, yeah, you know it's kind of like that kind
of thing.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yeah, just in terms of like what they're actually using for,
because this does seem to be a thing that Street
is starting to pay more and more attention to. Is
like okay, so like what when will there be results?
Because they're just shoveling money into AI research and there's
been a couple of studies recently. Some people have even suggested,
(27:16):
like this is why they're going so hard on the
like get ready to have your whole world fucking rocked, guys.
Is because there's like these surveys, like they just surveyed
thousands of CEOs and two thirds of executives use AI,
but they use it for an average of ninety minutes
a week, and like they they also are like trying.
(27:39):
You know, there was this initial pitch in twenty twenty
three from an AI researcher being like, this is going
to increase workers' performance by nearly forty percent once it's adopted,
and like, of the people who have adopted it, they
like haven't increased productivity at all, Like doesn't do the
thing that it's supposed to do. That is like the
(28:01):
entire promise of it.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
It's changed.
Speaker 8 (28:03):
I think it's changed the nature of a lot of
people's jobs if they're forced to use it because their
job has now become well, now I have to double
check that this lying machine right like is not lying
as much as it could be.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
It's just like you're.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Still spending the same amount of time. There's no faster
way to do that.
Speaker 7 (28:22):
The promise of it is definitely overrated so far. It's
kind of it always kind of feels like it's like
it's coming from people who maybe weren't who were good
at like tech and not at other stuff, and so
the tech to fix the other stuff, you know, Like
it's like, oh, it'll make sport.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I wasn't good at football, but it'll make football so
much better. I can't act, but I can do this
thing and that thing to make actors. It's always feels
like it's kind of this other thing.
Speaker 7 (28:52):
I feel like as far as like actual legitimate business,
it will help in some ways, but I mean it's
kind of part of the issue is that you don't
you're not okay with error from the robot. Right It's
like if you were going to get like an AI
travel assistant and ask it to book you flights and
like plan out and trip for you and it messes
(29:13):
that up. Oh you like don't you won't be okay
with that the way you'd go like, oh, my travel
agents and more on right, right, Like, it's like this
weird kind of thing where because it's a robot, it
needs to be perfect and it can't be perfect.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
Interest it's bad as I feel like people are on
the I've got the opposite side.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
Now.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
I'm like today I of course it makes the stake.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Yeah, right, but they yeah, Yeah, It's like at a
certain point though, Yeah, the results are going to start
becoming a problem for them. Like there's just this like
really broad learning curve that I feel like we are.
We're giving them a lot of grace with the like
learning curve of the AI because they are asking us too,
(29:58):
I guess because so much of their money is that Yeah.
Speaker 8 (30:01):
Because because the CEOs are just like, hey, true, yeah, yeah,
they needed to be true. They need to be able
to lay off forty percent of the workforce and that's
all they're Jones did for.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yes, Yeah, to go back to the NBA. Like, I
feel like this is like when AGM can't put a
winning team together. So they just keep like they're like, oh,
we're tanking. We're like just acquiring, you know, picks for
the future and like just selling this hope. And eventually
it's just like people get tired of that.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Amazon saw their share prices drop earlier this month that
after it was announced that they're spending two hundred billion
dollars on AI and people are like, but like, you
you don't have any results. Microsoft, same thing because people
they announced that the return on am but Ai investment
would be further off than anyone expected. But like, like
(30:57):
they're people were worried when they were spending two hundred
and fifty billion dollars in twenty twenty four. They're expected
to spend six hundred and fifty billion dollars in twenty
twenty six. So they're just ramping it up, and well,
it's also likely to show for it.
Speaker 8 (31:10):
There's something to show for. It will create our society.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
So that's right, this is gonna be great. You're all
gonna be out of.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
Work, Yeah, yeah, yeah, like it case scenario is that
it puts millions of people out of work.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Yeah, Troy, to your point about this being like the
tech the tech guys being like, this is gonna be great.
We just like won't ever have to interact with each other.
It reminds me of their uh solve for food when
they were like soilent. Yeah, you know how the worst
thing about getting nutrients and like getting through the day
(31:47):
is having to eat spend time eating delicious food. Well
we've we've solved for that. It's like this is like,
you know how the worst part of doing anything, like, yeah,
there's some busy work that's sucks. But it's just like
they just want to streamline everything, so there's no human
interaction at all in anybody's day. So yeah, I'm still
(32:08):
not still not buying.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
But I genuinely I have a theory that income disparity
in Silicon Valley, the barrier San Francisco specifically means that
there's not enough teens on the street.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
These guys, they're not They're dorks. And this is why
we're here.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
If we just need teens to tell them, these people
your fucking sociopathic nerds, their businesses would be in a
better spot.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Just important mean teenagers to San Francisco to the Bay Area.
This is a great pitch that Andrew. Andrew has two
goaded Hall of Fame theories. One is this and the
other is, uh, we just should never do satire. Satire
never works work. We just need to never do satire
(32:53):
ever again because people are just like American psycho that
should be a real guy clavicular.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
I watch it be Walter White, Yes exactly, let's.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Exactly uhl over people's heads here.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Yeah it does, and then people just like it. Yeah,
let's take a quick break. We'll come back and talk
about Reese's cups and whether they're getting worse. We'll be
right back and we're back, And did this cross? I
(33:33):
never I never know, you know. I'm on my in
my own little like Twitter social media bubble, but Pivot
Experience hit my feed like a second nine to eleven,
Just a.
Speaker 10 (33:51):
Second plane, I'll second, yeah, if you will.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
It's I think it's because it's like a single poster,
but at packs in so much information, so many fonts.
Speaker 11 (34:08):
I think if you look closely, you can see a
social Security number.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Yeah. I think there's seventeen different fonts on this one thing.
Speaker 10 (34:15):
Now that's a comedy flyer five.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Some as you probably have already heard, Game Changer Entertainment
presents Pivot Experience April twenty fifth, twenty twenty six. Had
you were.
Speaker 10 (34:30):
Where were you when you heard?
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Did you guys have plans before this? And I just
how easy were they to cancel?
Speaker 4 (34:37):
I just want to sleep through March April can not
come soon enough. The idea of waiting two plus months
for this, Yeah, friend sent it to me, for sure.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
He also he's kind of doing the pose of that
that Penis COVID guy, you know, that guy who kind
of who that that video, that picture that was sent
around to everyone during COVID of the guy who's kind
of like crouching with his penis out anyway whatever you.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
That stance.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
He looks like him.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Yes, I never thought of him as the penis COVID man,
but I know you're talking about the guy who's penis.
Speaker 10 (35:10):
Ye, that was a time. What were we doing this
man's dick around to each other.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Has that guy ever come out and like talked about it.
Speaker 10 (35:21):
I'm sure he has.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
I think people like your pandemic was weird.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
That sounds like I didn't even know there was a camera.
That sounds like a Jamie Loft this podcast episode, you
got to get that going.
Speaker 12 (35:38):
Yeah, the Jeremy pivoant experience. Right, So it's not the
Jeremy pivot experience. I'm sorry, Andrew, Jeremy. This is this
is a common mistake. There is no the there is
no Jeremy. It's just called pivoting.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
But do you know why. It's because they ran out
of letters on the fly.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
There there's so much text.
Speaker 10 (36:00):
Like an RB sign and there.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
They had a certain number of the close.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Yeah, they didn't even have the P and the H
for Philadelphia restaurant. So it's just Adelphia Restaurant in Deptford,
New Jersey, six thirty to eight thirty pm. Get ready
for an unforgettable night with Jeremy Piven.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Correct, technically my favorite part is says the think it's
a hundred already seating at the same table as Jeremy Piven.
So it's crazy that for only forty dollars. Actually you
can sit at his table table. How many seats?
Speaker 10 (36:44):
Also, I think we need to pull a fifty cent
and just buy all the rose around.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Yes, I am putting this out there, sorry, just real quick.
I need to make an offer two hour listeners. Oh yes,
anyone who is willing to go to this on April
Poh my god, please buy their ticket. Yeah, we'll pay
for your ticket. Oh and we will interview you on
the show.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
Oh my god.
Speaker 10 (37:09):
But like me fly out.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
I just want you there as an observer. I don't
want you to like go I'm weird to Jeremy Piven out,
you know, I just I want you to tell me
what is happening, like go in as an observer, just
on the inside.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
So it's from six thirty to eight thirty. It's obviously
a lot of food, the VIP tickets, you sit at
the same table as Jeremy Piven. I think, I honestly
think all this is is just eating in the same
restaurant as Jeremy, as Jeremy Pistons.
Speaker 10 (37:38):
I don't think it's even gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Some secretaries like.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
You're gonna have dinner, You're gonna have dinner this day.
But that's what's so crazy, because it's like, if he's
sitting at a table, he's not doing a show, he's
just eating dinner.
Speaker 11 (37:54):
But that is actually funnier than his stand up. I
have done shows with Oh, okay, so this is I've
done shows with him. He and like Anne Hash started
around the same time, and she actually had like potential,
you know, like she she actually had His was just
like and then me and this celebrity like did this
other fucking thing.
Speaker 10 (38:16):
It was weird.
Speaker 11 (38:16):
It was weird, but she actually had like vulnerability and
his like I was just like, like, no, everybody knows
you're an asshole already, dude.
Speaker 10 (38:25):
Get off the stage. You don't need to confirm it
like you have to.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
There are famous assholes in this town of Hollywood that.
Speaker 10 (38:35):
We were here known for it.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
He is known to be such an asshole that like
it damaged his career. Like there are people who like
won't come out of their trailer like for like reasons
that like just because there's like the wrong Eminem's or
whatever and their trailer and shit, and like he is
known for being difficult, like to be so difficult that
it derails your career in Hollywood. And there are many
(38:59):
other things that you know, there have been accusations of.
Speaker 13 (39:03):
Sexual wi to comedy, yes, but just you also got
mercury poisoning from eating too much sushi allegedly, and then
a lot of like industry groups came out and were like, that's.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Not what happened, that that you won't get mercury poisoning.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
Luckily, there's a steak. Luckily there's a steak option at
the Pivot experience, because that's right, the.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Community grilled salmon, black angus sirloin, steak, chicken parmegano with
linguini and penne prima era. Those are your entrees. Starters
are soup of the day, salad. And then you really
get the sense that they ran out of energy as
(39:46):
this thing went on, because for just for then we
go to dessert and it just says included.
Speaker 4 (39:52):
That's my favorite.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Why you got so many questions?
Speaker 11 (39:55):
But that lineup, that's the incredible openers.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
That included like they're like, I don't know, man, I'm tired.
We listed five.
Speaker 10 (40:04):
Take what we got? Okay, you a bitch.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
It's incredible.
Speaker 11 (40:11):
Also, the license plate Ari's Ferrari, it's just like, oh,
you know, that's like actually probably.
Speaker 10 (40:19):
His license plate.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
It is, and you will get a free Aris Fry
or Ari's Ferrari license plate.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (40:28):
Free license plate?
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Yeah? How big?
Speaker 8 (40:30):
We're thinking, Yeah, I think it's like a giant check.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
It's funny they have in the picture of him looking
like the big dick Kovie guy. Did you then just
have his personalized license plate hovering in the air in
front of him, like with nothing seemingly holding it up
so that people are like, this is the Their insistence
(41:01):
on repeatedly reminding anyone looking at this that it is
Entourage's Ari Gold has to make Piven experience some rage.
Speaker 4 (41:13):
You know, Well, I gotta say, I really hope he
comes west and does one at California.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
That would be.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
My favorite restaurant, Aliforia, California dessert include.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
And then just checking in with the epsteam files. There
are people facing consequences for their exposure in the epsteam
files when those consequences are convenient. Like JB. Pritzker's cousin,
Thomas J. Pritzker, a billionaire heir to the Hyatt Hotel's fortune,
stepped down from his role. But he's like seventy five.
He's probably like weeks away from doing this. Anyways. We
(41:52):
got Peter Atia, who is like the wellness influencer, and
he stepped down from his role as chief science officer
of a protein bar brand, David Protein.
Speaker 10 (42:06):
Worst fucking.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Fun.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
I've seen ads for this and I sent a picture
of it to my friend David, but it's like a
year ago, and the ads don't even say protein by
the way, They just say David and then it has
a picture of a protein bar. It's the worst advertising for.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
Her, so they and also ag One said in a
statement doctor Atia is no longer an advisor to the company.
I do hope David Protein's able to survive without him.
As you mentioned, Sultan Augma ed beIN Solim has been
fired and stepped down. One of the least predictable outcomes
(42:44):
is the death of Jimmy Fallon's line of pasta sauces.
Speaker 9 (42:49):
This is.
Speaker 11 (42:51):
And that's so crazy because I knew he had apasta
sauce before this for sure.
Speaker 4 (42:56):
Well, how's it come out yet?
Speaker 1 (42:57):
Oh, I don't want to overuse the comparison to a
second nine to eleven here on the eleven, but finding
out that Jimmy Fallon and Tommy Mottola's line of pasta
sauces fucking.
Speaker 11 (43:12):
Insane, the man known for destroying Mariah Carey and also
Tommy Mottola show.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
So their pasta sauce line was scheduled for twenty twenty seven,
but those plans have been halted by the fact that
Matola is mentioned more than six hundred times in Epstein files.
Speaker 4 (43:36):
And I'm fucked because I had already planned out my
meal calendar for all twenty seven and a big part
this pasta sauce.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
So bearing part of my meal plan the whole year.
Speaker 10 (43:49):
I'm over here.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
David Carved, David Carr. David Carves is a great thing
that say to your friend David, but he need get
too car They were protein more like David Carbs over here.
So uh that that has put a halt on the
on the line of pasta sauceas technically Fallon is also
(44:16):
mentioned in the files, but it is not the most
incriminating context. Actually, Woody Allen's wife ex stepdaughter, sun Ye
announced that she was taking her daughter and a friend
to see a Fallon taping and then said, what we
do for our kids? Am I right?
Speaker 10 (44:35):
Also thought he wasn't funny?
Speaker 1 (44:37):
Yeah, Fallon is so insufferable that someone who spends every
day with Woody Allen was like this fucking guy.
Speaker 4 (44:45):
Well, I will say her husband did a lot for
his kids, sousband, he did a lot for his kids,
So that's that's right for his daughter wife that I
also like, I was thinking, I saw this email from
Sunni and it'd be kind of cool if we all
in solidarity changed our email sign up to send from
(45:08):
Suni's iPhone. You guys, don't do that with me. That's
so good iPhone, let's do it.
Speaker 11 (45:15):
Come on, I didn't know we weren't supposed to have
been doing that for years.
Speaker 10 (45:21):
You've been on that, so I no one's responding.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
But Tommy Mottola is another one of these guys who
uh career for all intents and purposes, is you know,
in the rear view mirror and has discussed needing to
quote shut up and lay low with scene. Oh wait, no,
I'm sorry, this is not right now. This is him.
This is what he discussed with Epstein during the Me
too movement.
Speaker 4 (45:49):
Oh my god? Whoa.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
And he's also helped Epstein find a private detective as
as many secrets were threatened following Miami Herald expose on
his private island. Those are quotes from a Hollywood Reporter article,
so he was actively helping Epstein cover up his things
and also being like, I better stay out of the limelight.
Speaker 11 (46:14):
Dear released sex offender. I do think that the times
are calling for accountability and I shall not persist.
Speaker 10 (46:25):
That's so fucking crazy.
Speaker 1 (46:27):
It's all it's like every email, it's just like it's
not that these people were acquaintances. They're all like best
friends with him, Like they're The way they talk to
him is like they're like checking in to let him
know where they're at throughout the day, Like, hey, hey,
I'm at fallon the things we do for our kids. Hey, anyways,
(46:50):
see you later on.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
Brother.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
It's like, what the fuck.
Speaker 4 (46:53):
Isn't anyone in my life that I'm in touch with
as these people.
Speaker 1 (47:00):
Jeffrey Epstein, then I am with my mother.
Speaker 11 (47:02):
I can't think of telling anyone in my life that
I went to fallon, right, Yeah, the level of vulnerability
vulnerabilding exactly.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
Yeah, But I do just want to because so Jimmy
Fallen starting a pasta sauce with Tyy Matola did seem
a little bit confounding to me at first. It's just
the latest kind of weird business venture. First of all,
they were like known for going to rowse together like
that the Italian restaurant that like launched a famous pasta
(47:33):
sauce brand. So I don't know where they got this
genius idea from, Like you can just like see how
their brains work. Wait a second, but then he has
also basically turned the Tonight Show into his own personal QBC,
like when he hawked his own line of wildly expensive
pajamas dubbed p Jimmy's from Alex Mill. Other times, it's
(47:58):
less clear he's using his show content to enrich himself.
We mentioned before when he got into trouble after extolling
the virtues of NFTs with Paris Hilton. Do you do
you guys remember that clip?
Speaker 9 (48:09):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (48:09):
Yeah, horrific.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
It is like it needs to be in a museum somewhere.
It's so strange. It's just the whole. It captures the
weird NFT moment. It captures the weird experience of being
in a studio audience where they're like, come on, people,
Jimmy needs it. You gotta and you gotta laugh. And
then just like the nervous laughter of a room full
(48:32):
of people, and it's just it again, feels like a
Tim and Eric like sketch that's supposed to feel like
a like a bad acid trip.
Speaker 4 (48:40):
I'm so embarrassed that it worked on me. And I
did buy a board. I'm sob my a my aim.
Speaker 10 (48:50):
That's our stella, our generation.
Speaker 1 (48:56):
He didn't disclose that he had a financial stake in
that company, and so he got into chocolate water. Yeah
he did get Oh, you know, gets into hot water.
Speaker 4 (49:05):
Is pasta there we go that gets into hot water.
I'll tell you that much.
Speaker 11 (49:11):
I do love that, Like the most predictable things happened,
Like if I were to write a movie about any
of these people, that would happen to the Jimmy Fallon.
Speaker 4 (49:19):
Character in my movie.
Speaker 11 (49:21):
Yeah, it's like, oh, the things that you thought would happen,
are happening?
Speaker 10 (49:25):
Incredible?
Speaker 1 (49:26):
Yeah, and so he got in trouble with that, like
in during the pandemic. In twenty twenty four, he invested
in the new golf League TGL and then four days
later hosted TGL golfers on his show to talk about
the endeavor, and at no point did he discuss he
had any financial ties. There was an episode last year
where he interviewed Adam Goldstein, CEO of Archer Aviation, and
(49:50):
they spent several minutes hyping the company, claiming their flying
cars are like stepping into the future. And then he
appeared in a promotional video for the company in which
he would and shut up about the design, safety, and
leg room of the Midnight Aircraft. And then people are like,
he's definitely first of all, the videos are alive. They're
(50:10):
misrepresenting like the progress of their flying cars. And apparently
he paid Jimmy Fallon millions for the Tonight Show spot
and like it's like just illegal ship, Like he's just
tied up.
Speaker 11 (50:24):
So just fucking sad, Like comedy used to mean something
to white guys.
Speaker 4 (50:33):
Yeah, it's like, yeah, if there's any way to explode
on the cultural guys. It's too up here on fallon,
so I forget it. That's right, that's how you that's
how you go big.
Speaker 2 (50:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (50:47):
But it's like with these it's like with him, it's
like why does he need more? Like you're already making
a lot of money being on TV all the time,
Like why do you also need to like be shady?
Speaker 2 (50:56):
It's so weird.
Speaker 11 (50:56):
Not the money, it's the content. This man is doesn't
know how to write jokes anymore.
Speaker 4 (51:03):
So you're like promoting brands and stuff that you have
a stake, and it's just so bizarre.
Speaker 10 (51:07):
That's because at heart he's an influencer.
Speaker 4 (51:09):
Right, you're right, you're right, you're right. He cares about
selling ads.
Speaker 1 (51:13):
Yeah, he's kind of very greatest influencer him.
Speaker 4 (51:15):
Anyways, Wait, doesn't he have like an ad TV show
or something like a TV show where he.
Speaker 11 (51:19):
Yeah, where he gets regular people to create marketing him
and like bows from Real Housewives who used to be
like in charge of like rebranding Uber after everybody was
like your CEO is fucked up. So it's like her
and him and they're just getting like regular people to
be like yeah, ads to do ads.
Speaker 1 (51:43):
Christ, So it's like Shark Tank. But you're like pitching them, yeah,
to pitch their company to people.
Speaker 4 (51:50):
Yeah, don't get paid to do it, probably, yes, yeah.
Speaker 3 (51:53):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
Ten dollars in the home edition of this game. Yeah.
All right, Well, anyways, Jimmy's okay. His pasta sauce is not.
And I just wanted to assure everybody about that because
I think if you if you google Tommy Mottola Epstein,
this is the story. Just keep saying marrying just all
(52:16):
about Jimmy fallon pasta, can't be super excited about. All right,
that's gonna do it for this week's Weekly Zeitgeist. Please
like and review the show If you like, the show
means the world to Miles. He he needs your validation, folks.
I hope you're having a great weekend and I will
(52:38):
