In this episode of Is This How It Ends, we dive headfirst into the dystopia that's already knocking on our door. First up: hurricanes Helene and Milton. Natural disasters, or are politicians controlling the weather to sabotage the election and steal land? Then we discuss Trump’s third assassination attempt—because why stop at two? It's like a bad action movie that just won’t end.
Next, we explore Diddy’s latest drama: lawsuits, scandals, and more lawsuits, because apparently, there’s no limit. Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s much-hyped "We Robot" event was more of a futuristic flop, proving once again that tech billionaires aren't immune to disappointment. And speaking of disappointment, disinformation is everywhere, spreading faster than a Twitter (I mean X) rumor—making it nearly impossible to tell fact from fiction in today’s crazy world.
It’s not all about doom and gloom. In true Is This How It Ends fashion, we balance the serious with the quirky, and cap off the episode by highlighting the astrological significance of the Aries full moon, aka the Hunter’s Moon, aka a Big A** Moon, and the biggest supermoon of the year! Aries brings bold, fiery energy—perfect for taking charge and making big decisions. It’s all about embracing courage, setting boundaries, and going after your goals.
Tune in, stay skeptical, and embrace the chaos—because in this world, nothing is certain, not even the weather.

Nele (00:00):
Hey y'all and welcome to our podcast.
Is this how it ends?
Where we talk about politics,aliens, all kinds of things.
Right, I'm Nell, I'm so andwelcome y'all.
So today's lineup, of course,is going to be a little bit
weird.
We're talking about hurricanes.
(00:21):
We're talking about Trumpassassination attempts.
We're talking about Didassassination attempts.
We're talking about diddy phaseof human evolution.
It's a lot going on, y'all, solet's get started.
I don't know where to begin, soif there's so much to, yeah, I
don't.
Soph (00:40):
There is.
There's a lot happening, likeit's just 3000 things and we
need to like pick just a selectfew.
Do you want to start on theassassination?
Nele (00:52):
Okay, so did y'all know that there was a third
assassination attempt of Trump?
I personally did not know.
Soph (01:00):
I mean, I kind of heard it .
Nele (01:01):
I was like I heard it and then, like on some youtube
videos, there were like trumpassassination attempt question
mark.
It was just.
We were just all very confused,um, so I have some facts for
you all.
So a third reportedassassination attempt on former
president donald trump occurredon october 12th 2024 at a rally
(01:23):
in Coachella.
California Authorities arresteda man named Vern Miller, a Las
Vegas resident, near the event,where he was found with a loaded
gun, a handgun, high capacitymagazine and fraudulent
credentials at a securitycheckpoint.
Miller claimed to be attendingthe rally as a supporter and had
the weapons for personal safety.
However, officials suspect hemay have intended to harm trump
(01:48):
oh, so they're just making.
Soph (01:50):
They're not.
He didn't do anything, butthey're making the correlation
that if he was there with all ofthat, then it was for yeah why
all these attempts?
Nele (02:01):
attempts now, I mean, when was president?
He didn't have this manyattempts.
All his life he's been screwedover people and he hasn't had
this many attempts and now allof a sudden, like when he's
running again.
Soph (02:20):
It all seems suspicious.
The one at his what was it,mar-a-lago?
I thought I was like that onesounded suspicious.
This one sounds suspicious.
Nele (02:30):
The first one sounded suspicious when he had the Kotex
pad on his ear.
Soph (02:35):
Yeah, and then when they research these people, they say
they're like they're Republicans.
Yeah, so maybe his own peoplehate him.
Nele (02:44):
I don't know what's going on, but yeah, I think we can
move on to something else.
Soph (02:53):
Yeah.
Nele (02:57):
So hurricanes, look, we've been hit by some pretty
devastating hurricanes Heleneand Milton, by some pretty
devastating hurricanes Heleneand Milton.
So Hurricane Helene became oneof the deadliest storms since
Katrina, claiming over 230 livesacross multiple states, with
Florida's Big Bend region amongthe worst affected.
Following closely was HurricaneMilton, which made landfall in
(03:20):
Florida as a Category 3 storm,causing widespread damage, power
outages and prompting majorevacuations.
When Milton has weakened,recovery efforts are ongoing in
impacted regions, includingFlorida, georgia and parts of
the Gulf Coast.
Soph (03:38):
That's great.
Have you heard about just theconspiracies surrounding these
hurricanes?
Nele (03:47):
No, and I want to hear it.
I'm curious.
Soph (03:50):
So this is like I love a good conspiracy theory, I love
going down these rabbit holes,but sometimes it's like, come on
, we are pulling at straws right.
Sometimes it's like, come on,we are pulling at straws right.
So to your point, nels, I meanthe hurricane season.
(04:17):
They're becoming more violent,more unpredictable, more deadly,
and you know, scientists whoare under attack are saying that
this is fueled by climatechange.
You know, warmer waters, risingsea levels these conditions are
like steroids for these stormsand that's what scientists are
saying.
But not everyone wants tobelieve that.
Not everyone wants to believethat people, corporations, are
(04:40):
fueling climate change.
Right, it's caused by humans,burning fossil fuels,
deforestation, agricultural andindustrial practices All of
these things are causing climatechange.
People don't want to.
There are a lot of people whodon't want to believe that.
What they do want to believe isthat the government,
(05:00):
particularly Democrats in theseglobal elites, are manipulating
the weather to push theirclimate agenda.
Nele (05:07):
Nope, absolutely not.
So we're just going to create ahurricane to kill all these
people, cause all thisdevastation, yes, which the
government will have to pay forthat doesn't make any sense.
Soph (05:18):
It doesn't make sense.
So we're intentionallyintensifying storms to wreak
havoc on conservative regions,so disregarding that, in the
history of hurricanes andtropical storms, that these are
the states that are hit, right?
I don't even understand it.
But one of the things they'resaying is that they're also
(05:41):
saying that the government istrying to seize Chimney Rock
Chimney Rock is a town in NorthCarolina that was hit hard.
Saying that the government istrying to seize Chimney Rock
Chimney Rock is a town in NorthCarolina that was hit hard.
So the government is trying toseize it and come and do a
lithium mine.
There's no, as far as I know,there's no lithium mine in
Chimney Rock.
But if you, you know, if youGoogle it, they do say that
(06:06):
there is one in Kings Mountain,north Carolina, which is about
80 to 100 miles away fromChimney Rock.
So that's what they're sayingand it doesn't help that Trump,
marjorie, taylor, greene andother Republicans are helping
push this.
But what they're really tryingto do, they're pushing the idea
that all this chaos, thehurricanes, the damage, the
political fallout, is part of agrand scheme to cheat, for
(06:27):
Democrats to cheat their wayinto office.
Wow.
Nele (06:31):
Right Projection.
If they could do it, that'ssomething that they would do.
Soph (06:36):
Right, and I think they're kind of like laying the
groundwork right If Trumpdoesn't win in 2024, this
November, the election wasstolen, they already set it up.
They already set it up, they'relaying the groundwork for more
election denial and usingclimate disasters as fuel for
their fire.
And it's so outrageous, it's socareless, it's so dangerous and
(07:00):
irresponsible.
We're living in surreal times.
You don't know what to believeanymore.
You just don't.
There's so much information.
Some of it is true, some of itis not, and it's all mixed up.
People are confused, they'reoverwhelmed, unsure.
What's what anymore?
And these conspiracy theories?
They prey on that.
And that's the point.
(07:21):
You flood the public with somuch false information that no
one knows what's true.
So this is our new reality.
Right To your point aboutTrump's third assassination, you
just kind of like you don't, isit?
What do you believe?
What do you believe?
And it's just.
It's an erosion of trust andleaves us vulnerable, divided
and just ripe for manipulation.
Nele (07:44):
This world is crazy and that's why I say hi all the time
.
You know I don't need to be inreality, not at all.
Reality is just, it's for thebirds.
Honestly, it's for the birds.
Soph (07:58):
It is for the birds.
But I think I'm reallyconcerned about the way
misinformation is just spreadand it's just it's really hard
to decipher and look throughwhat's real and what's not, and
it's like what's the end goal?
You know they're banning books,they're you know they're doing
away with all of these things.
Like the education system istrapped shot, you know.
(08:23):
So it's really concerning to me.
Nele (08:29):
Trust nothing, not even the weather, at this point.
Your own research.
Soph (08:37):
I don't think that it has lithium mines.
They're not trying to steal it.
You know they're not changing.
They're not changing.
They're not creating hurricanesto hit the two swing states.
They're saying because they'reswing states.
And how stupid would Democratshave to be right, it's close to
an election, but let me causechaos.
(08:59):
Yeah, you know, like ruinpeople's homes, like all this
money you're going to have toshell out now, like well, no
one's that I mean Republicansthink that people are just not
common sense.
Nele (09:12):
I just wish it's so ridiculous.
Now what's going on, even justlike Trump, like they're talking
about him, like actuallysoiling himself, talking about
him, like actually soilinghimself, like that's the rumors,
like, yeah, that's how bad itis and so it's like it's too
(09:33):
late to back out now and youshould have had the come to
jesus moment, like you know, thedems did with biden, you know.
But here we are.
It just doesn't really seemreal.
And just to use justificationslike weather manipulation, like
these people, when trump loses,they're gonna pull everything
(09:57):
out of their bag, like to liketo see what sticks.
Honestly, honestly, like I'mnervous.
These aren't.
Soph (10:06):
I'm just saying you know they're voting for the party
right.
Like Trump is.
He's a wild card.
Like he doesn't always do.
He usually doesn't do what theparty wants Like he does what
the crazy people want.
Nele (10:17):
This man doesn't even know how to pronounce words.
He was in Arizona.
He meant to say Arizonians.
He called them Eregians.
I'm here with you, eregians.
Come on, was it him that saidHaitia, haitia, that was Vance,
(10:40):
haitia.
I just got out of vote, y'all.
We have like 22 days left.
I'm voting.
Soph (10:48):
I have to vote early next week.
Nele (10:52):
I have no excuse.
My voting place is in mybuilding.
Soph (10:57):
Oh nice.
Nele (10:57):
Yeah, my community room Nice.
I never have an excuse not tovote.
Soph (11:02):
I wonder if it's going to be a Remember when Obama was on
the ballot, those polling placeswere insane, yeah, insane, oh
yeah.
Like I think I waited hours tovote.
Nele (11:17):
Wow.
Soph (11:18):
Look at you.
Nele (11:19):
I know it was also my first presidential election
since becoming a citizen, so Iwas like oh, yay, yay, off topic
, but I just want to say Obamakind of shaming men that look
like this about voting for Trump.
(11:40):
I'm here for it, totally herefor it Doesn't make any sense.
Someone has here for it,totally here for it Doesn't make
any sense.
Someone has to say it.
Obama's like nah, I could bethe Black uncle Shaming y'all
and this is what I'm going to do.
Soph (11:55):
I'm here for it, I love it .
Nele (11:57):
I'm here for it.
So there's one person I know inmy life that I just don't
understand.
It, like just posting all thisTrump stuff, but anyway, yeah,
it's crazy.
Soph (12:13):
I mean you could be for the party but I'd be ashamed to
even post anything about.
I mean, like, how do you likethe mind gymnastics that you
have to do to justify yeah?
Nele (12:28):
This man won't release his medical records.
And now he's talking aboutKamala having hay fever and
that's why she's crazy.
He's like I passed, I aced mycognitive exam.
You don't ace a a cognitive.
I don't understand.
You've got a good score.
(12:48):
I don't understand like he'sjust rambling at this point but
he still hasn't shown usanything.
Kamala has shown us her hermedical records.
Like how do you let this manjust keep on getting away with
this?
Soph (13:00):
he's pushing hate and people seem to love it.
Nele (13:03):
Yeah, it's hate and division um, speaking of hate,
um which some people say is theactual opposite of love, which
brother love, which was diddy'snew name.
See how I connected that I likethat.
Soph (13:18):
So yeah, the other love is diddy's new name well, he
changed.
Nele (13:23):
His set is yeah, that was his new name Before all this
started happening.
He was changing his name toLove and then he was trying to
like, yeah, love Combs.
Like, yeah, sean, love Combs.
And he even has his youngestdaughter.
Her name is Love as well.
And yeah, he was trying on thiscampaign to get people their
publishing back and it was like,sir, it don't matter now, oh my
(13:47):
God, so his daughter's?
Soph (13:49):
name is Love.
I hope that he had some goodlawyers and accountants that
he's able to.
He said kids, you know, becausethey don't have to try to get a
job with the name.
Nele (14:06):
Like yeah, like it's going to be hard for them, the sons,
the older sons, theyparticipated, but the daughters,
you know and I.
Soph (14:19):
It's part of me, you know for the sons, like they were
groomed into that lifestyle youknow, yeah, which is unfortunate
, but at a point you have to beold enough to know that this
ain't right yeah but yeah, toraise your kids in that kind of
lifestyle lifestyle um, liketheir morals are probably like a
(14:42):
bit skewed too definitely, andthey're rich too, so their sense
of reality is totally oh yeahoh yeah, totally so.
Nele (14:52):
Um Diddy has now been named in six separate lawsuits,
followed by Tony Busby, theTexas attorney, who says he's
representing up to 120 attorneywho says he's representing up to
120 alleged diddy victims, andof the four of the six that
filed so far, um, four of themare male accusers.
(15:12):
So this is what I didn't likethat was going on in, like, the
youtube, blogosphere, whateverthat people are focusing so much
on the fact that, oh, like hehas male accusers now that are
filing, and I'm just like, whyis that the biggest deal?
(15:35):
Like apparently, allegedly,there's kids involved.
Like allegedly he assaulted,like a pregnant woman.
Like this man is lacing baby oilwith drugs yeah, that's what
they're saying that's, that'swhat they're saying that's what
(15:58):
that's, that's what's been goingaround, that the oil was laced
and you, technically, you canprovide drugs by transdermal,
like as a route of, as a routeof administration, definitely,
yeah.
So nothing, nothing is safe.
You know, with him you go tothese parties.
You're thinking like here's aglass of water, here's like not
(16:20):
everyone that goes there is likeat the after after party they
go to the regular party, theyhave something.
Everything is laced.
So yeah, um people in this worldthere's just in october 2024,
sean diddy combs faced multiplenew civil lawsuits accusing him
(16:42):
of sexual assault.
And okay, with youtube, youcan't say certain words, so I
shouldn't even say so, sa, andjust say sa right.
Six lawsuits were filed,including allegations of assault
on both men and women from 1995to 2021.
One particularly troubling caseinvolved a claim that combs
(17:05):
molested a 16-year-old boy at a1998 party.
Other suits include charges offorced drugging, violent sexual
assaults during private andindustry events.
Combs denies the allegations,calling them part of a reckless
media circus as his criminalcase proceeds.
Here's the thing right, whenTony Busby did his press
(17:36):
conference and he said that whenhe first opened up the lines
for people to call in, it waslike 3,000 people that had
called in, but then theynarrowed it down to 120.
But the people that actuallyhave suits, they have things to
corroborate what happened.
They have medical records.
Maybe they filed a policereport.
They have things that he's notchoosing.
These people don't have anykind of evidence against him.
(17:57):
So, um, this should beinteresting like how this, how
this goes, because how manytimes is diddy going to go to
trial?
He already tried to get bailfor a third time.
He was denied.
Wow, and so the trial isn'tgoing to start until may.
So he's going to be in thatjanky ass detention center in
(18:21):
brooklyn which has the worstconditions until May.
He's still complaining aboutthe food Certain rumors talking
about he wants a nutritionist tocome and make him some food.
Soph (18:41):
The thing with Diddy, and I'll say it.
There were always rumors aboutDiddy, and I'll say it like
there were always rumors rightabout Diddy, like there were.
I think there were alwayspeople who kind of knew, like he
there's some shady stuff goingon with him.
It was alluded to um, and nowit's come out.
Now it's all of that stuff.
Is it had to come out one day?
Nele (19:02):
but the thing is so, no one, even when cassie first came
out with, like her allegations,no one even believed her until,
like, they saw the video yeah,and what was sad?
Soph (19:15):
because you said there were people who they were, like
there was a, she got punched, hepunched her once and they were
sitting around, like you thinkthey look forward and say um,
believe her.
You know, this is what I'vewitnessed.
Nele (19:28):
No one even did that but here's the thing like at first I
used to have like that samelike mind frame, like, oh like,
no one said anything.
But I'm sure this man hasunalived people, made them
disappear.
He blew up kid cudi's car, likeyou know that's a good point,
(19:48):
like if you're also scared.
Soph (19:50):
Who knows and you know a lot of this stuff is.
It's a lot of blackmail goingon, so who knows what he has on
these people?
Nele (19:58):
yes, and if, if some of the assaults like were
videotaped, then the peoplearen't gonna come out because he
can be, he can blackmail them.
Soph (20:08):
So or they were.
Nele (20:11):
They were in on it too, so they're not gonna say anything
again, because then you lookback if you're like yeah, I was
there when he was beating theshit out of her and I said
nothing yeah, and they werelinking kevin hart Hart to Diddy
or whatever first, and youcould see he was all up in the
video with Diddy or whatever youknow, laughing, and now he's
like I don't know that man, youknow that man?
(20:35):
Yeah, he's not trying to hearnothing, and I guess there's a
rumor that there's a highprofile celebrity that's in one
of the videos as well.
Actually, not even rumor, tonybusby said it, the lawyer said
it, which video like an, like anincriminating video or yeah,
(20:55):
now here's the thing likethere's someone that could have
been in the video, but itdoesn't mean that they
participated.
Like, like they're the onesthat drug the person or whatever
.
Like I don't.
I think there's not releasingthe names because they're not
directly, like, related to thecrime.
Maybe this happened to be inthe video, like, who knows,
(21:18):
maybe they were doing acts withcertain someone else, consensual
, maybe they didn't even knowthey were being recorded, like
who knows, you know, but thosenames haven't been released yet.
But Diddy is a whole demon.
Um, I just in anyone and I'mgonna keep it real anyone that I
(21:39):
know in life sides with thisman and his axe.
I don't know you, no more.
Honestly, because if you hadthe money, if you had the power,
you'd abuse it just the same.
You have no morals to see.
This man blatantly lied aboutthe things that he did and then,
once the video came out ofCassie, then he had to backtrack
(22:02):
it.
But we'll apologize because wedidn't ask for all that did we
ask for the truth.
So if he lied about that, he'slying about all of this.
Soph (22:14):
Yeah to treat someone the way he treated her that's crazy.
Nele (22:20):
That is crazy.
So, um, I hope all these peoplethat are suing him get his
money.
Um, I hope so, but I don't know, child, how.
Like he's already been througha few lawyers, now I think he
has a new, a new lawyer.
Um, because he's really tryingto get out on bail and she's
(22:43):
like no sir, absolutely not,because you are known for like
just tampering with witnesses orsomething like that, or
harassing them, like one personhe called like 150 times sir,
you're that, you're a flightrisk.
Absolutely not stay your ass inthe jail eating moldy bread.
I hope there's mold on thebread.
(23:05):
I hope the mold is like reallygreen and it's raised up that
almost looks like broccoli.
I hope it's that kind of mold,not even the mold you're going
to scrape off.
You can't scrape off that mold.
The spores are all up andthrough.
Soph (23:25):
I'm not one to celebrate anyone's downfall Me neither but
there are people like you justhad it coming.
The whole demon Kim Port is upthere.
She's like told you.
Nele (23:40):
The angels got her.
The angels, the angels got her.
The angels got her All right.
So so do you want to talk aboutanother weird person, elon Musk
and his robots and whatnot?
Because he's weird as hell too.
Soph (23:58):
He is weird.
I'm not going to focus solelyon him.
We're going to focus mostly onthe science, mainly SpaceX,
tesla and, of course, yes, elonMusk, real life supervillain.
We'll start with the good FirstSpaceX.
So on October 13th, spacexsuccessfully launched its
Starship rocket, marking asignificant milestone.
(24:18):
Launched its Starship rocket,marking a significant milestone.
The super heavy boosterStarship's first stage was
caught by the launch tower's wecall them chopstick arms after
precise landing, which was afirst ever feat.
Now let me see if we can showthis real quick.
Nele (24:33):
By the way, don't we still have some people up in space
lost somewhere?
Soph (24:36):
Girl, we still got people up in space, okay.
Nele (24:38):
Okay, we got people up in space lost, but all right, they
up in space.
Okay, we got people up in spacelost, but all right, they're
not lost, but they're not cominghome.
Soph (24:45):
They're up there, they're not coming home.
They ain't coming home for alittle bit.
They're going to come back homenext year, I think January, and
they're going to come back homeon a SpaceX rocket.
So Musk, as much as we hatethem, he's going to be the
(25:05):
savior.
I know he loves that.
Oh God, this is what we want tosee, and there we go.
That's pretty cool.
Nele (25:16):
That is cool.
Soph (25:18):
Yeah, this was really really big.
So what I just showed you?
That super heavy booster.
So the job of that heavybooster is to provide the
initial powerful thrust neededto lift a spacecraft like SpaceX
Starship off the ground andthrough the Earth's atmosphere.
It uses multiple engines togenerate immense amount of force
(25:38):
, enough to propel the rocket'supper stages into space.
Once it completes its job, itseparates from the upper stages,
which continue the journey, andnormally this thing right here,
the booster some parts of itremain in space, while the rest
returns to Earth, usuallyfalling somewhere in the ocean.
But this time around, spacexwas able to recapture it, which
(26:01):
is it's a huge deal.
Rocket parts are expensive,like a booster like this can
cost about 50 to $60 million.
It could cost millions.
So, being able to reuse this,reuse the booster and other
parts of a rocket, figuring outhow to do that, uh, spacex did,
um, that's like a, that's likethe next phase, and trying to
(26:23):
make space travel a bit lessexpensive.
Nele (26:26):
So, um, musk on that well, spacex look, I don't think we
need to muscovize space.
Okay, we don't need.
I mean, yes, this is good.
I just don't like his ass and Idon't want any of his juju his
(26:46):
aura up, um, anywhere near marswhen we go there.
Soph (26:50):
Absolutely not you know his head's already big, so could
you imagine?
Oh, my goodness, yeah, but Imean, his company is really.
They're making a lot of stridesin this space, at least.
At least spacex is now tesla,let's get into tesla.
Uh, last week um, he had a, hetesla had a.
(27:14):
Uh, we robot event.
Um, and now if we, if we Robotsounds a little bit like iRobot,
like you're not yeah.
Nele (27:23):
Right From the movie.
Soph (27:25):
When you see this, I feel like Elon watched iRobot and
then went to his developers andsaid, hey, I want everything to
look just like this.
Nele (27:38):
Yes, he's like instead of iRobot.
Soph (27:40):
we're going to make it different.
We're going to be like WeRobot,since we all know in iRobot
what happened the robots wantedto kill all humans.
Well, they wanted to help them,even if it meant killing them
for their own good.
Nele (27:51):
Well, girl, that's what's going to happen anyway.
Okay, because the robots aregoing to see humans are not
worth much nowadays and, um,they gonna kill our asses.
Um.
So when you mentioned to meabout the robots, I started like
looking it up and they showed avideo of the robot dancing oh
(28:11):
yeah, we're gonna get into thatyeah, role.
I was.
Like you can tell theprogrammer might have been
melanin deficient or justlacking rhythm, because well,
let's robot doing this.
Soph (28:24):
Yeah so let's take a look.
So he had, so that was part ofit.
So it was.
It was three things that werefeatured at this um big reveal.
It looked like a really goodparty though, so kudos to that.
So he revealed the cyber cab ofthe robo van and the optimist
robot.
So let's, let's take a look atum.
(28:44):
Let's take a look at this video.
Nele (28:46):
I love the beginning.
Oh my goodness, we don't needhim.
Soph (28:52):
Oh my goodness you know what that mean.
I don't need to make fun of him.
So that's the cyber cab.
Nele (29:04):
It's so ugly it's hideous.
Soph (29:08):
It's hideous.
Let's go on to.
We have quite a show for youtonight.
I think you're going to like it.
Oh my goodness, I just arrivedin the robo-taxi, the cyber cab,
and there's 20 more.
(29:28):
Where that came from?
There's 20.
Nele (29:33):
Wow.
Soph (29:34):
So let's go to this cyber taxi.
Nele (29:37):
Now the cyber taxi.
What is it Actually?
We saw this.
That was to this cyber taxi Nowthe cyber taxi.
Soph (29:40):
What is it Actually?
We saw this.
That was just a cyber taxi.
We're going to go to the.
What he, what he got into, isthe cyber taxi.
Nele (29:46):
Okay.
Soph (29:46):
So this is the um.
What we're going to show now isthe is the uh, oh, and uh, also
, what, what, what, what is this?
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this what?
Nele (29:55):
the hell is this?
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this.
Soph (29:59):
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this?
Nele (30:13):
What the?
Soph (30:14):
hell is this Oculus?
Nele (30:16):
Absolutely not.
Soph (30:17):
And, as you can see, we started up with someone in a
robot suit, sort of that, andthen we've progressed
dramatically year after year.
Nele (30:26):
Yeah, okay, no, absolutely not.
Soph (30:29):
So that's that.
And then someone was like, howthis the cybers, how the cybers,
the robo van looks like itlooks like the van from iRobot
where all the evil robots cameout of.
Nele (30:47):
Yeah, it does.
I was like this looks familiar.
Soph (30:50):
I'm telling you, like this man has no imagination.
Like he saw that movie, lovedit and said just wants to spread
this ugliness.
Nele (30:56):
That's why it's supposed to be contained in a movie.
We don't want this here.
This is ugly, it's hideous.
First of all, now you know Ilove my people, but you can't
talk about technology becauseit's going to bring some like
foolishness.
So rapper Slim Thug was, youknow, talking about the robots,
(31:17):
like oh, you know, we get arobot, we're going to replace
you women.
You know talking about therobots like oh, you know, we get
a robot, we're gonna replaceyou, you women, you know,
because we'll have a robotcooking clean and we gotta care
about his feelings and have sexwith the robot then you do that
and leave women alone look, thewomen on this planet will thank
the robot gladly.
just go ahead, just go ahead.
(31:38):
Just first of all, I read thatthese robots started like
$16,000.
So good luck.
Why don't you want to pay forit For now?
Soph (31:49):
So the tax.
He starts at $30,000.
He's saying it's going to befor $30,000.
Nele (31:53):
But yeah right.
Soph (31:54):
That's the same thing when he said Tesla, there was one
price for Tesla.
And then, like right before itcame out, he was like no, I'm
jacking this up like anotherlike 20 grand.
You either bought it or youdidn't.
And his fans, his fans saidokay, we'll do it even though we
prepaid.
Nele (32:14):
Here's the thing Like Elon said something about, like oh,
oh, you know, you can have therobot, like, basically, do
domestic work for you, like cookstuff for you and bring stuff
to you, whatever, and it's justlike.
I'm all for creation andprogression, but to create
things that will then, like well, how that affected domestic
(32:38):
workers.
You understand, like you knowwhat I mean.
Like you create things that toreplace people.
Because you've never had towork, you don't know what it's
like to have a job of yoursunder threat because of
technology.
So you create, keep creatingthese things that does the job
for everyone else.
And then what about the actual,like human beings?
(33:00):
Oh, robots can do all thesethings, but then people are out
of a job.
Soph (33:03):
Yeah, and you know what.
So they like to tell us rightwhen it comes to these things.
They like to tell us um, techis supposed to save us time,
give us more leisure, make it amore green space and do all of
this and do all of that.
When OpenAI ChatGPT came on thescene, it was a huge thing.
(33:24):
The stuff it was able to do wasamazing, which caused a lot of
jobs to be eliminated, and thoseof us who are still working,
our jobs didn't get any easier.
We're still working the sameamount of time.
So, if you really want to helppeople, if you really want to
help me save time, you want tohelp create more green spaces,
create a technology that I don'tneed to work and I'm in.
(33:46):
Like, all my needs are providedfor.
I could buy a house, I couldraise a family if I choose to,
or I could raise a cat if Ichoose to shout out to the cat
women, okay, yes.
Like, if you want to reallyhelp people, if you want us to
have more time or more leisuretime, like, why don't you do
that?
You know, I I don't want um, Idon't want tech that freeze,
(34:09):
that frees up my time, just so Icould still sit in a robo taxi
for two plus hours to get towork and work like 40 plus hours
a week.
Nele (34:18):
I don't want that.
That's true.
And now they haven't peoplecome back to to work now.
Soph (34:24):
It's, this is not.
This is not for us.
It's, it's not.
It's not for us.
It's not to give us back time,cause guess what?
Something will come and takeits place.
Mainly work.
Nele (34:33):
Yeah.
Soph (34:35):
I mean, this is capitalism , it's not to help us.
Nele (34:37):
It is and here's the thing right.
We have to work to buy theshiny things that are supposed
to make our life easier and so,in reality, just lower the
prices of everything so we don'thave to work so hard and do all
of the things.
That's the reality of it, youknow, but that's not going to
happen.
We got to be able to work toafford the shiny things.
Soph (35:04):
Yeah, we got to be able to work to afford the shiny things
.
Yeah, but I, I love how, um, um.
So when it comes to the, whenit comes to the optimist robot,
really not, it's not.
So the version that is now it'snot fully autonomous, it's
remote controlled by someone inanother country.
(35:24):
Who's to say that person is notspying on you or gathering data
about your life?
Of course, musk and his otherbig operations they build
empires of collecting data Likewhy wouldn't this robot just be
another tool to do the samething?
This robot?
Nele (35:45):
all up in your house, all up in your spice cabinet.
Yes, exactly.
All up in your business.
Soph (35:52):
Yeah.
And then, first of all, thishas a long time coming, right.
I don't know if in 2021, whenhe first revealed that he was
working on this, he, he had awhole reveal, and this is this
is let me show you what thisreveal was.
So this man is like I'm workingon a robot.
People are excited.
You know he hosts this eventand let me show you what we see.
(36:16):
He's so weird, let me me.
And then the fact that he wasable to do this and, like he, no
one bats an eye, like hisstocks still go up, um, like
people still believe in him.
I don't understand.
Nele (36:30):
I don't understand it either like he can use his money
and his influence to like notsaying this stuff doesn't matter
, like SpaceX is dope, you know,but like there's stuff that's
happening right now to realflesh and blood people.
Yeah, so this?
Soph (36:49):
is.
Nele (36:53):
Is that someone in a robot outfit?
Soph (36:57):
This was his reveal.
Nele (37:01):
What is this?
This was his reveal.
What is this?
This was in 2021.
Soph (37:03):
That's Musk to the side.
That's who?
That's Musk to the side.
If you can see that person, ohI see it right there?
Nele (37:14):
Absolutely not.
First of all these moves areawful.
Absolutely not.
Soph (37:18):
First of all these moves are awful?
Absolutely not.
This was 20, that was 2021.
When he said he has a robot toshow us, fast forward now in
2024, it's no longer a man in asuit, but now this thing is not,
even it's not fully autonomous.
Okay so, and we think he's likesome great genius.
Nele (37:46):
He just has a lot of money and he likes to tinker with
toys.
Soph (37:51):
Yeah, so the?
So the cyber, the cyber cab orthe robo taxis.
This is already a thing.
So there's a company calledwaymo and they have self-driving
taxis and they've been cruisingthrough cities like san fran,
la um, phoenix and austin for awhile now.
So this is this is nothing newhere the robo van there was.
(38:13):
These journalists, rebeccaBellin and Maxwell Zeff at
TechCrunch, described it,described the robo van as having
a retro, futuristic look,somewhere between a bus from the
JetSense and a toaster from the1950s, somewhere between a bus
from the jet sense and a toasterfrom the 1950s.
First of all, I think thisthing it looks like a trolley,
(38:36):
like it literally looks.
So we're just, you know, likeit's.
Nele (38:42):
Like.
I don't.
Is it a robo van Like like aminivan, or is it just a van
Like for transport?
Soph (38:48):
I think it's a van for transportation and for
transportation.
I think it's a van fortransportation, it's a van for
transportation.
This is only a prototype.
Only that one van exists, Ithink, for the cybercabs he has
a couple.
The robot he has I don't knowhow many, but the van I think he
only has one, but the van Ithink he only has one.
(39:12):
So, yeah, I mean.
So he has this big event andshows off these toys.
People have all the jokes right.
I love to me that comment aboutthe Jetsons in a 1950s toaster.
Like all of his inventions,have that feel, that feel that
someone like what someone in the80s would envision a future in
(39:35):
2015 would look like Like that'swhat this stuff is.
Nele (39:39):
It was giving me the taxi, was giving me like RoboCop with
a little bit of Knight Rider.
It was just it was ugly as hell, like those Cybertru.
It's.
Ugly as hell, like those cybertrucks.
Ugly as hell.
I've seen like three of themrecently and I'm like why I see
them?
Soph (39:56):
it's I see them all over georgia so it is um, so I I
don't think anyone really likedany of what he showed off.
Um, people are so underwhelmedI mean, in fact, it was so
unimpressive that so Tesla'sshares fell 7%.
Oh, wow, yeah, musk's net worthdropped by a staggering 15
(40:20):
billion.
I say staggering, but I'm sureto him 15 billion is not a lot.
Yeah, and a wall street analystcalled tesla's um 30 000 robo
taxi, dubbed the cap, atoothless taxi in a note to
investors friday morning, addingthat tesla has vicious targets
with little evidence offeasibility.
He does this often he promisesthe world and he gives you a man
(40:42):
in a robot suit dancing around,or you know this, um, this low
budget yeah, yeah, so he he hasa habit of over promising and
coming up short.
He's not an innovator, right?
Um, thinking about, like hisrobots, companies like boston
dynamics.
They have several variations uh, for, like a dog like robot and
(41:04):
, um, humanoid, humanoid onesthat can jump, that can pick up
things that are fully.
They don't need someone toremote control them from another
country.
Yeah.
Nele (41:14):
I've seen these Chinese robots and they had better dance
moves by far, and I think thevideo was actually from a few
years ago.
It was like these Chineserobots and I was like, yeah,
Well, so Honda back in the 80s?
Soph (41:28):
so back in the 80s again.
This man is.
He's not reinventing, he's notinventing anything.
This thing already existsability to recognize moving
objects, postures, gestures, itssurrounding environment, sounds
(41:53):
and faces, which enabled it tointeract with humans.
It could detect the movementsof multiple objects by using
visual information captured bytwo camera eyes in its head, and
also determine distance anddirection, and it could do a ton
of other things that this,whatever he presented to us,
can't.
So again, the tech is there,it's been done.
(42:16):
I'm not sure why Elon is seen asthe father, the son and the
Holy Spirit of this AI movementand tech advancement, and he's
not.
He made a name for himselfearly on as some innovator who
had the answer to this utopianfuture.
He doesn't, and the more I hearhim speak and the more I look
(42:38):
into what other companies aredoing in this space, and the
more he becomes a deranged MAGA,the more I'm like this man.
He just has enough money tohire the right people, buy up
the right company to make himlook like this Einstein level
genius, which I mean, I don'tthink he's.
I think I do think he's smart,I just don't think he's who he
(43:00):
likes to portray himself to be.
And, honestly, if we're gonnaget like robots, like he's
thinking, like the babysitters,the lawnmowers and all of that,
it's going to come from Japan,you know, yeah, moving in the
future and you know theyprobably have the tech, but
they're like we're not giving itto the US because you all
(43:21):
militarize everything.
Like it's like how can I makethis a weapon, yeah, and that's
and that's it a weapon?
Yeah, and that's and that's it,and it was.
It was very underwhelming and Iwould like for these companies
(43:42):
to create tech so I do not haveto work and all my like that's
what I want If you need yourtime.
Like like I hate when they comeup with these things and like,
oh, my god, you're gonna have somuch time, it's gonna do this,
it's gonna do that, but I stillhave to work 40 hours a week?
yeah, absolutely not no drive asoften.
Great, but I still gotta gointo the office at nine and then
(44:03):
leave at five.
So I still what?
What leisure time do I have?
They're like oh, he was sayingfor the, for the taxi.
He's like you could sleep in it, you could do work in it, I'm
like like a train, that's youknow he's like so out of so
(44:24):
removed.
Nele (44:25):
I'm saying, like these people create these things and
they have no concepts, Just likeTrump.
It's like Trump he doesn'tcreate things but except stories
of nevermind.
But you know Trump being in thein the supermarket looking all
lost, grabbed like a random bagof popcorn.
This man has never groceryshopped for himself.
(44:48):
He's never known what it's liketo write a resume like he
doesn't know and you want him torule the country.
You think he cares about foodprices.
I don't.
I don't get it.
I get it because it'saspirational.
You know, to be melanin,deficient and have money and
power.
That's aspirational for people,yeah, but it for us, regular
(45:14):
folk, it it doesn't do me anygood, honestly it doesn't, I
don't, I don't care.
Soph (45:19):
Like again, like open, ai, chat, gpt.
You know these super powerfulmachines that can do all of this
work.
People still got to work First.
People either lost jobs orthey're just working the same
Like it does.
It does nothing.
Whose whose time is it freeing?
Nele (45:39):
It helps me with my emails , but then it just frees up more
time to write more emails.
Soph (45:48):
So, exactly Cause that cause, the man is going to be
like, oh you did this so quickly.
Either I should get rid of youand just let it do that, or I
can give you more work.
They're going to find work tofill it up and I don't.
I don't care about any of thisstuff.
There are real problems that wecan be looking into.
The stuff that we want to do,it's just I get it.
(46:12):
It'd be nice to you know, havesome, you know, energy efficient
, whatever.
And that's another thing Likeall of these, like all of these,
electric, they're all electric.
Yeah, grid to support it?
Like I don't understand Facts,we do not have the grid to
support it.
Like I don't understand Facts,we do not have the grid to
support it.
California is on this thingwhere, like, they want people to
(46:33):
have like electric cars bywhatever year it is which is not
that far away.
On what freaking grid.
Nele (46:41):
Facts.
Soph (46:44):
I don't understand, but it's all about the money.
Nele (46:48):
Yep.
So this is what this is aboutAll right.
So stay woke, y'all, becauseCan we watch that video again,
the one of the dancing robot inthe suit?
Soph (47:04):
Yes.
Nele (47:04):
Let's watch that again, please.
Muscles.
Like yeah On the side.
Like yeah On the side.
Like yeah, absolutely not.
(47:27):
This is awful.
Soph (47:34):
Not even good dancing either.
Nele (47:35):
Not even good dancing either.
First I was like okay, you weredoing the robot, all right, you
were getting this.
And then all that other stuff Idon't know what that was.
Soph (47:44):
That is low budget as hell Can you imagine you invite
people to unveil this robotyou've been working on and
promising them and they getthere and they're like how are
you not chased out of town?
How do?
Nele (47:57):
you Low budget as hell.
You know what that reminds meof, which is related but not
related.
Soph (48:03):
Yeah, how could they not vote you off these companies?
These shareholders are afraidof them because any other
company CEO they're like.
How can we get them out?
Nele (48:15):
girl this reminds me of actually it's a kind of a Diddy
story, but not so.
Me and Javi shout out to my boo, javi, we were at Diddy's
restaurant, justin's and so mymom was promising us that we
were going to meet TysonBeckford.
We're like, oh, tyson Beckford,we were going to meet tyson
beckford.
We're like, oh, tyson beckford,we're gonna meet tyson beckford
.
That she was like oh, here'styson beckford's daddy.
(48:36):
We were like what girl we don'twant to meet his daddy?
She made us take a picture withhim low budget as hell managing
expectations.
she was the elon mus, the ElonMusk of our hopes and dreams of
meeting Tyson Beckford.
I didn't know.
Jd had a restaurant, yes, inthe city called Justin's.
(48:59):
I remember we went there andthey were like, oh, do you want
some water?
We thinking it's water a la tap, and then it comes in this
fancy blue bottle.
The water's like $50.
We were like what in the hell?
You want to put that shit back?
Fancy blue bottle.
Soph (49:09):
The water's like $50.
Nele (49:08):
We were like what in the hell you want to put that shit
back?
That happened to me once.
Soph (49:11):
I went somewhere.
They were like, do you want tapor still?
I was like I want still.
And then they bring us thisfancy bottle.
I'm like, oh, this is nice.
And we had like three of them$15 each.
We're like what?
Nele (49:25):
Absolutely not, it was.
Soph (49:28):
Voss, I think that's how I say it V-O-S-S.
That's good water.
Nele (49:34):
That's good water.
Soph (49:37):
All right, that's that girl.
Nele (49:42):
That was a whole heap of a hot mess.
Soph (49:45):
The future is almost here.
It looks like we're living inthe 80s.
Nele (49:56):
Yeah Well, maybe what's up next is a little bit more
hopeful.
So now on to shady astrology,where I know How's that hopeful.
I'm going to get there.
I'm going to get there.
Girl, let me get there where Inormally would get, in your
Zodiac's ass.
But since I did that with theLibras, no shout outs to the
(50:16):
Libras.
But my one Libra fan was likeis that what you really think of
us?
Yes, girl, but I said goodthings too.
You don't take all I got togive all right.
We're going to talk aboutactually.
It's actually a really specialtime because there's a full moon
in Aries on October 17th andit's supposed to be a big deal.
(50:40):
It's called the Hunter's Moonand what makes it such a big
deal is that it'll be thelargest super moon of the year.
At its nearest point, it willbe 222,000 miles from the earth
and appear 10% larger thannormal.
So, y'all, it's a big ass.
Moon October 7th, yes, so Aries, right.
(51:05):
What does it mean when themoon's in Aries?
So Aries is a fire sign that isknown for its bold, assertive
energy.
So this full moon encouragespeople to take initiative,
assert their personal needs andembark on new projects or
changes.
It's time for bold decisionsand embracing leadership roles.
But there also may be someheightened impulsivity or
(51:26):
conflict.
That's right, because Ariesthey be doing the most.
They're real intense.
Right.
Aries can push individualstowards fast, decisive decisions
without fully thinking themthrough.
So bold, big ass moon.
We have some bold, big assdecisions and things that we
need to work on.
(51:47):
Tap into your inner aries.
Y'all the aries is the ram.
Tap into your inner ram and ramtowards those goals.
Right, that's right.
It says now's the time toreflect on personal goals, set
boundaries and embrace courage,but it's also to important to
balance this fiery energy withpatience and mindfulness to
(52:08):
avoid unnecessary conflict orburnout.
Yes, so the moon will be bigand bright on the 17th of
October.
You know, set your intentions,make those decisions.
You got anything bold that youwant to do.
Soph Girl, I have so many boldthings that I want to do if I
(52:35):
were to be bold, I would justquit society.
Me and nz and my plants wouldjust live on a commune in north
dakota somewhere.
But that's it for shadyastrology.
I can't speak Shady astrology.
See, it wasn't so bad right.
Soph (52:50):
No, it wasn't so bad.
One thing I wanted to look into.
So there's supposed to be likean extra moon in the sky.
I'm going to read this articlebecause I think it's cool.
So this fall, I think,beginning sometime in September,
the skies will hold a specialtreat for attentive space lovers
.
The skies will hold a specialtreat for attentive space lovers
(53:10):
.
Over the next two months, Earthwill have a second moon.
Beginning on September 29th,just after 4 pm, An asteroid
will enter Earth's orbit andtravel in a horseshoe-shaped
path around the planet until itdeparts on November 25th.
Earth's second moon is actuallyin NASA's name 2024 PT5.
(53:34):
It's considered a temporarymini moon because moons are
scientifically defined asnaturally formed bodies that
orbit planets, per NASA science.
But to us Earthlings it won'tlook like the moon we know and
love, because it won't bevisible to the naked eye.
In fact, the second moon is somini that even a normal it won't
be visible to the naked eye.
In fact, the second moon is somany that even a normal
(53:56):
telescope won't be able tocapture it.
To see it, you'll need atelescope at least 30 inches in
diameter, paired with a CCB orCMOS digital detector.
So while we do have the secondmoon.
You will not be able to see itunless you have special
equipment.
So that's pretty cool.

Hey y'all and welcome to our podcast.
Is this how it ends?
Where we talk about politics,aliens, all kinds of things.
Right, I'm Nell, I'm so andwelcome y'all.
So today's lineup, of course,is going to be a little bit
weird.
We're talking about hurricanes.
(00:21):
We're talking about Trumpassassination attempts.
We're talking about Didassassination attempts.
We're talking about diddy phaseof human evolution.
It's a lot going on, y'all, solet's get started.
I don't know where to begin, soif there's so much to, yeah, I
don't.
Soph (00:40):
There is.
There's a lot happening, likeit's just 3000 things and we
need to like pick just a selectfew.
Do you want to start on theassassination?
Nele (00:52):
Okay, so did y'all know that there was a third
assassination attempt of Trump?
I personally did not know.
Soph (01:00):
I mean, I kind of heard it .
Nele (01:01):
I was like I heard it and then, like on some youtube
videos, there were like trumpassassination attempt question
mark.
It was just.
We were just all very confused,um, so I have some facts for
you all.
So a third reportedassassination attempt on former
president donald trump occurredon october 12th 2024 at a rally
(01:23):
in Coachella.
California Authorities arresteda man named Vern Miller, a Las
Vegas resident, near the event,where he was found with a loaded
gun, a handgun, high capacitymagazine and fraudulent
credentials at a securitycheckpoint.
Miller claimed to be attendingthe rally as a supporter and had
the weapons for personal safety.
However, officials suspect hemay have intended to harm trump
(01:48):
oh, so they're just making.
Soph (01:50):
They're not.
He didn't do anything, butthey're making the correlation
that if he was there with all ofthat, then it was for yeah why
all these attempts?
Nele (02:01):
attempts now, I mean, when was president?
He didn't have this manyattempts.
All his life he's been screwedover people and he hasn't had
this many attempts and now allof a sudden, like when he's
running again.
Soph (02:20):
It all seems suspicious.
The one at his what was it,mar-a-lago?
I thought I was like that onesounded suspicious.
This one sounds suspicious.
Nele (02:30):
The first one sounded suspicious when he had the Kotex
pad on his ear.
Soph (02:35):
Yeah, and then when they research these people, they say
they're like they're Republicans.
Yeah, so maybe his own peoplehate him.
Nele (02:44):
I don't know what's going on, but yeah, I think we can
move on to something else.
Soph (02:53):
Yeah.
Nele (02:57):
So hurricanes, look, we've been hit by some pretty
devastating hurricanes Heleneand Milton, by some pretty
devastating hurricanes Heleneand Milton.
So Hurricane Helene became oneof the deadliest storms since
Katrina, claiming over 230 livesacross multiple states, with
Florida's Big Bend region amongthe worst affected.
Following closely was HurricaneMilton, which made landfall in
(03:20):
Florida as a Category 3 storm,causing widespread damage, power
outages and prompting majorevacuations.
When Milton has weakened,recovery efforts are ongoing in
impacted regions, includingFlorida, georgia and parts of
the Gulf Coast.
Soph (03:38):
That's great.
Have you heard about just theconspiracies surrounding these
hurricanes?
Nele (03:47):
No, and I want to hear it.
I'm curious.
Soph (03:50):
So this is like I love a good conspiracy theory, I love
going down these rabbit holes,but sometimes it's like, come on
, we are pulling at straws right.
Sometimes it's like, come on,we are pulling at straws right.
So to your point, nels, I meanthe hurricane season.
(04:17):
They're becoming more violent,more unpredictable, more deadly,
and you know, scientists whoare under attack are saying that
this is fueled by climatechange.
You know, warmer waters, risingsea levels these conditions are
like steroids for these stormsand that's what scientists are
saying.
But not everyone wants tobelieve that.
Not everyone wants to believethat people, corporations, are
(04:40):
fueling climate change.
Right, it's caused by humans,burning fossil fuels,
deforestation, agricultural andindustrial practices All of
these things are causing climatechange.
People don't want to.
There are a lot of people whodon't want to believe that.
What they do want to believe isthat the government,
(05:00):
particularly Democrats in theseglobal elites, are manipulating
the weather to push theirclimate agenda.
Nele (05:07):
Nope, absolutely not.
So we're just going to create ahurricane to kill all these
people, cause all thisdevastation, yes, which the
government will have to pay forthat doesn't make any sense.
Soph (05:18):
It doesn't make sense.
So we're intentionallyintensifying storms to wreak
havoc on conservative regions,so disregarding that, in the
history of hurricanes andtropical storms, that these are
the states that are hit, right?
I don't even understand it.
But one of the things they'resaying is that they're also
(05:41):
saying that the government istrying to seize Chimney Rock
Chimney Rock is a town in NorthCarolina that was hit hard.
Saying that the government istrying to seize Chimney Rock
Chimney Rock is a town in NorthCarolina that was hit hard.
So the government is trying toseize it and come and do a
lithium mine.
There's no, as far as I know,there's no lithium mine in
Chimney Rock.
But if you, you know, if youGoogle it, they do say that
(06:06):
there is one in Kings Mountain,north Carolina, which is about
80 to 100 miles away fromChimney Rock.
So that's what they're sayingand it doesn't help that Trump,
marjorie, taylor, greene andother Republicans are helping
push this.
But what they're really tryingto do, they're pushing the idea
that all this chaos, thehurricanes, the damage, the
political fallout, is part of agrand scheme to cheat, for
(06:27):
Democrats to cheat their wayinto office.
Wow.
Nele (06:31):
Right Projection.
If they could do it, that'ssomething that they would do.
Soph (06:36):
Right, and I think they're kind of like laying the
groundwork right If Trumpdoesn't win in 2024, this
November, the election wasstolen, they already set it up.
They already set it up, they'relaying the groundwork for more
election denial and usingclimate disasters as fuel for
their fire.
And it's so outrageous, it's socareless, it's so dangerous and
(07:00):
irresponsible.
We're living in surreal times.
You don't know what to believeanymore.
You just don't.
There's so much information.
Some of it is true, some of itis not, and it's all mixed up.
People are confused, they'reoverwhelmed, unsure.
What's what anymore?
And these conspiracy theories?
They prey on that.
And that's the point.
(07:21):
You flood the public with somuch false information that no
one knows what's true.
So this is our new reality.
Right To your point aboutTrump's third assassination, you
just kind of like you don't, isit?
What do you believe?
What do you believe?
And it's just.
It's an erosion of trust andleaves us vulnerable, divided
and just ripe for manipulation.
Nele (07:44):
This world is crazy and that's why I say hi all the time
.
You know I don't need to be inreality, not at all.
Reality is just, it's for thebirds.
Honestly, it's for the birds.
Soph (07:58):
It is for the birds.
But I think I'm reallyconcerned about the way
misinformation is just spreadand it's just it's really hard
to decipher and look throughwhat's real and what's not, and
it's like what's the end goal?
You know they're banning books,they're you know they're doing
away with all of these things.
Like the education system istrapped shot, you know.
(08:23):
So it's really concerning to me.
Nele (08:29):
Trust nothing, not even the weather, at this point.
Your own research.
Soph (08:37):
I don't think that it has lithium mines.
They're not trying to steal it.
You know they're not changing.
They're not changing.
They're not creating hurricanesto hit the two swing states.
They're saying because they'reswing states.
And how stupid would Democratshave to be right, it's close to
an election, but let me causechaos.
(08:59):
Yeah, you know, like ruinpeople's homes, like all this
money you're going to have toshell out now, like well, no
one's that I mean Republicansthink that people are just not
common sense.
Nele (09:12):
I just wish it's so ridiculous.
Now what's going on, even justlike Trump, like they're talking
about him, like actuallysoiling himself, talking about
him, like actually soilinghimself, like that's the rumors,
like, yeah, that's how bad itis and so it's like it's too
(09:33):
late to back out now and youshould have had the come to
jesus moment, like you know, thedems did with biden, you know.
But here we are.
It just doesn't really seemreal.
And just to use justificationslike weather manipulation, like
these people, when trump loses,they're gonna pull everything
(09:57):
out of their bag, like to liketo see what sticks.
Honestly, honestly, like I'mnervous.
These aren't.
Soph (10:06):
I'm just saying you know they're voting for the party
right.
Like Trump is.
He's a wild card.
Like he doesn't always do.
He usually doesn't do what theparty wants Like he does what
the crazy people want.
Nele (10:17):
This man doesn't even know how to pronounce words.
He was in Arizona.
He meant to say Arizonians.
He called them Eregians.
I'm here with you, eregians.
Come on, was it him that saidHaitia, haitia, that was Vance,
(10:40):
haitia.
I just got out of vote, y'all.
We have like 22 days left.
I'm voting.
Soph (10:48):
I have to vote early next week.
Nele (10:52):
I have no excuse.
My voting place is in mybuilding.
Soph (10:57):
Oh nice.
Nele (10:57):
Yeah, my community room Nice.
I never have an excuse not tovote.
Soph (11:02):
I wonder if it's going to be a Remember when Obama was on
the ballot, those polling placeswere insane, yeah, insane, oh
yeah.
Like I think I waited hours tovote.
Nele (11:17):
Wow.
Soph (11:18):
Look at you.
Nele (11:19):
I know it was also my first presidential election
since becoming a citizen, so Iwas like oh, yay, yay, off topic
, but I just want to say Obamakind of shaming men that look
like this about voting for Trump.
(11:40):
I'm here for it, totally herefor it Doesn't make any sense.
Someone has here for it,totally here for it Doesn't make
any sense.
Someone has to say it.
Obama's like nah, I could bethe Black uncle Shaming y'all
and this is what I'm going to do.
Soph (11:55):
I'm here for it, I love it .
Nele (11:57):
I'm here for it.
So there's one person I know inmy life that I just don't
understand.
It, like just posting all thisTrump stuff, but anyway, yeah,
it's crazy.
Soph (12:13):
I mean you could be for the party but I'd be ashamed to
even post anything about.
I mean, like, how do you likethe mind gymnastics that you
have to do to justify yeah?
Nele (12:28):
This man won't release his medical records.
And now he's talking aboutKamala having hay fever and
that's why she's crazy.
He's like I passed, I aced mycognitive exam.
You don't ace a a cognitive.
I don't understand.
You've got a good score.
(12:48):
I don't understand like he'sjust rambling at this point but
he still hasn't shown usanything.
Kamala has shown us her hermedical records.
Like how do you let this manjust keep on getting away with
this?
Soph (13:00):
he's pushing hate and people seem to love it.
Nele (13:03):
Yeah, it's hate and division um, speaking of hate,
um which some people say is theactual opposite of love, which
brother love, which was diddy'snew name.
See how I connected that I likethat.
Soph (13:18):
So yeah, the other love is diddy's new name well, he
changed.
Nele (13:23):
His set is yeah, that was his new name Before all this
started happening.
He was changing his name toLove and then he was trying to
like, yeah, love Combs.
Like, yeah, sean, love Combs.
And he even has his youngestdaughter.
Her name is Love as well.
And yeah, he was trying on thiscampaign to get people their
publishing back and it was like,sir, it don't matter now, oh my
(13:47):
God, so his daughter's?
Soph (13:49):
name is Love.
I hope that he had some goodlawyers and accountants that
he's able to.
He said kids, you know, becausethey don't have to try to get a
job with the name.
Nele (14:06):
Like yeah, like it's going to be hard for them, the sons,
the older sons, theyparticipated, but the daughters,
you know and I.
Soph (14:19):
It's part of me, you know for the sons, like they were
groomed into that lifestyle youknow, yeah, which is unfortunate
, but at a point you have to beold enough to know that this
ain't right yeah but yeah, toraise your kids in that kind of
lifestyle lifestyle um, liketheir morals are probably like a
(14:42):
bit skewed too definitely, andthey're rich too, so their sense
of reality is totally oh yeahoh yeah, totally so.
Nele (14:52):
Um Diddy has now been named in six separate lawsuits,
followed by Tony Busby, theTexas attorney, who says he's
representing up to 120 attorneywho says he's representing up to
120 alleged diddy victims, andof the four of the six that
filed so far, um, four of themare male accusers.
(15:12):
So this is what I didn't likethat was going on in, like, the
youtube, blogosphere, whateverthat people are focusing so much
on the fact that, oh, like hehas male accusers now that are
filing, and I'm just like, whyis that the biggest deal?
(15:35):
Like apparently, allegedly,there's kids involved.
Like allegedly he assaulted,like a pregnant woman.
Like this man is lacing baby oilwith drugs yeah, that's what
they're saying that's, that'swhat they're saying that's what
(15:58):
that's, that's what's been goingaround, that the oil was laced
and you, technically, you canprovide drugs by transdermal,
like as a route of, as a routeof administration, definitely,
yeah.
So nothing, nothing is safe.
You know, with him you go tothese parties.
You're thinking like here's aglass of water, here's like not
(16:20):
everyone that goes there is likeat the after after party they
go to the regular party, theyhave something.
Everything is laced.
So yeah, um people in this worldthere's just in october 2024,
sean diddy combs faced multiplenew civil lawsuits accusing him
(16:42):
of sexual assault.
And okay, with youtube, youcan't say certain words, so I
shouldn't even say so, sa, andjust say sa right.
Six lawsuits were filed,including allegations of assault
on both men and women from 1995to 2021.
One particularly troubling caseinvolved a claim that combs
(17:05):
molested a 16-year-old boy at a1998 party.
Other suits include charges offorced drugging, violent sexual
assaults during private andindustry events.
Combs denies the allegations,calling them part of a reckless
media circus as his criminalcase proceeds.
Here's the thing right, whenTony Busby did his press
(17:36):
conference and he said that whenhe first opened up the lines
for people to call in, it waslike 3,000 people that had
called in, but then theynarrowed it down to 120.
But the people that actuallyhave suits, they have things to
corroborate what happened.
They have medical records.
Maybe they filed a policereport.
They have things that he's notchoosing.
These people don't have anykind of evidence against him.
(17:57):
So, um, this should beinteresting like how this, how
this goes, because how manytimes is diddy going to go to
trial?
He already tried to get bailfor a third time.
He was denied.
Wow, and so the trial isn'tgoing to start until may.
So he's going to be in thatjanky ass detention center in
(18:21):
brooklyn which has the worstconditions until May.
He's still complaining aboutthe food Certain rumors talking
about he wants a nutritionist tocome and make him some food.
Soph (18:41):
The thing with Diddy, and I'll say it.
There were always rumors aboutDiddy, and I'll say it like
there were always rumors rightabout Diddy, like there were.
I think there were alwayspeople who kind of knew, like he
there's some shady stuff goingon with him.
It was alluded to um, and nowit's come out.
Now it's all of that stuff.
Is it had to come out one day?
Nele (19:02):
but the thing is so, no one, even when cassie first came
out with, like her allegations,no one even believed her until,
like, they saw the video yeah,and what was sad?
Soph (19:15):
because you said there were people who they were, like
there was a, she got punched, hepunched her once and they were
sitting around, like you thinkthey look forward and say um,
believe her.
You know, this is what I'vewitnessed.
Nele (19:28):
No one even did that but here's the thing like at first I
used to have like that samelike mind frame, like, oh like,
no one said anything.
But I'm sure this man hasunalived people, made them
disappear.
He blew up kid cudi's car, likeyou know that's a good point,
(19:48):
like if you're also scared.
Soph (19:50):
Who knows and you know a lot of this stuff is.
It's a lot of blackmail goingon, so who knows what he has on
these people?
Nele (19:58):
yes, and if, if some of the assaults like were
videotaped, then the peoplearen't gonna come out because he
can be, he can blackmail them.
Soph (20:08):
So or they were.
Nele (20:11):
They were in on it too, so they're not gonna say anything
again, because then you lookback if you're like yeah, I was
there when he was beating theshit out of her and I said
nothing yeah, and they werelinking kevin hart Hart to Diddy
or whatever first, and youcould see he was all up in the
video with Diddy or whatever youknow, laughing, and now he's
like I don't know that man, youknow that man?
(20:35):
Yeah, he's not trying to hearnothing, and I guess there's a
rumor that there's a highprofile celebrity that's in one
of the videos as well.
Actually, not even rumor, tonybusby said it, the lawyer said
it, which video like an, like anincriminating video or yeah,
(20:55):
now here's the thing likethere's someone that could have
been in the video, but itdoesn't mean that they
participated.
Like, like they're the onesthat drug the person or whatever
.
Like I don't.
I think there's not releasingthe names because they're not
directly, like, related to thecrime.
Maybe this happened to be inthe video, like, who knows,
(21:18):
maybe they were doing acts withcertain someone else, consensual
, maybe they didn't even knowthey were being recorded, like
who knows, you know, but thosenames haven't been released yet.
But Diddy is a whole demon.
Um, I just in anyone and I'mgonna keep it real anyone that I
(21:39):
know in life sides with thisman and his axe.
I don't know you, no more.
Honestly, because if you hadthe money, if you had the power,
you'd abuse it just the same.
You have no morals to see.
This man blatantly lied aboutthe things that he did and then,
once the video came out ofCassie, then he had to backtrack
(22:02):
it.
But we'll apologize because wedidn't ask for all that did we
ask for the truth.
So if he lied about that, he'slying about all of this.
Soph (22:14):
Yeah to treat someone the way he treated her that's crazy.
Nele (22:20):
That is crazy.
So, um, I hope all these peoplethat are suing him get his
money.
Um, I hope so, but I don't know, child, how.
Like he's already been througha few lawyers, now I think he
has a new, a new lawyer.
Um, because he's really tryingto get out on bail and she's
(22:43):
like no sir, absolutely not,because you are known for like
just tampering with witnesses orsomething like that, or
harassing them, like one personhe called like 150 times sir,
you're that, you're a flightrisk.
Absolutely not stay your ass inthe jail eating moldy bread.
I hope there's mold on thebread.
(23:05):
I hope the mold is like reallygreen and it's raised up that
almost looks like broccoli.
I hope it's that kind of mold,not even the mold you're going
to scrape off.
You can't scrape off that mold.
The spores are all up andthrough.
Soph (23:25):
I'm not one to celebrate anyone's downfall Me neither but
there are people like you justhad it coming.
The whole demon Kim Port is upthere.
She's like told you.
Nele (23:40):
The angels got her.
The angels, the angels got her.
The angels got her All right.
So so do you want to talk aboutanother weird person, elon Musk
and his robots and whatnot?
Because he's weird as hell too.
Soph (23:58):
He is weird.
I'm not going to focus solelyon him.
We're going to focus mostly onthe science, mainly SpaceX,
tesla and, of course, yes, elonMusk, real life supervillain.
We'll start with the good FirstSpaceX.
So on October 13th, spacexsuccessfully launched its
Starship rocket, marking asignificant milestone.
(24:18):
Launched its Starship rocket,marking a significant milestone.
The super heavy boosterStarship's first stage was
caught by the launch tower's wecall them chopstick arms after
precise landing, which was afirst ever feat.
Now let me see if we can showthis real quick.
Nele (24:33):
By the way, don't we still have some people up in space
lost somewhere?
Soph (24:36):
Girl, we still got people up in space, okay.
Nele (24:38):
Okay, we got people up in space lost, but all right, they
up in space.
Okay, we got people up in spacelost, but all right, they're
not lost, but they're not cominghome.
Soph (24:45):
They're up there, they're not coming home.
They ain't coming home for alittle bit.
They're going to come back homenext year, I think January, and
they're going to come back homeon a SpaceX rocket.
So Musk, as much as we hatethem, he's going to be the
(25:05):
savior.
I know he loves that.
Oh God, this is what we want tosee, and there we go.
That's pretty cool.
Nele (25:16):
That is cool.
Soph (25:18):
Yeah, this was really really big.
So what I just showed you?
That super heavy booster.
So the job of that heavybooster is to provide the
initial powerful thrust neededto lift a spacecraft like SpaceX
Starship off the ground andthrough the Earth's atmosphere.
It uses multiple engines togenerate immense amount of force
(25:38):
, enough to propel the rocket'supper stages into space.
Once it completes its job, itseparates from the upper stages,
which continue the journey, andnormally this thing right here,
the booster some parts of itremain in space, while the rest
returns to Earth, usuallyfalling somewhere in the ocean.
But this time around, spacexwas able to recapture it, which
(26:01):
is it's a huge deal.
Rocket parts are expensive,like a booster like this can
cost about 50 to $60 million.
It could cost millions.
So, being able to reuse this,reuse the booster and other
parts of a rocket, figuring outhow to do that, uh, spacex did,
um, that's like a, that's likethe next phase, and trying to
(26:23):
make space travel a bit lessexpensive.
Nele (26:26):
So, um, musk on that well, spacex look, I don't think we
need to muscovize space.
Okay, we don't need.
I mean, yes, this is good.
I just don't like his ass and Idon't want any of his juju his
(26:46):
aura up, um, anywhere near marswhen we go there.
Soph (26:50):
Absolutely not you know his head's already big, so could
you imagine?
Oh, my goodness, yeah, but Imean, his company is really.
They're making a lot of stridesin this space, at least.
At least spacex is now tesla,let's get into tesla.
Uh, last week um, he had a, hetesla had a.
(27:14):
Uh, we robot event.
Um, and now if we, if we Robotsounds a little bit like iRobot,
like you're not yeah.
Nele (27:23):
Right From the movie.
Soph (27:25):
When you see this, I feel like Elon watched iRobot and
then went to his developers andsaid, hey, I want everything to
look just like this.
Nele (27:38):
Yes, he's like instead of iRobot.
Soph (27:40):
we're going to make it different.
We're going to be like WeRobot,since we all know in iRobot
what happened the robots wantedto kill all humans.
Well, they wanted to help them,even if it meant killing them
for their own good.
Nele (27:51):
Well, girl, that's what's going to happen anyway.
Okay, because the robots aregoing to see humans are not
worth much nowadays and, um,they gonna kill our asses.
Um.
So when you mentioned to meabout the robots, I started like
looking it up and they showed avideo of the robot dancing oh
(28:11):
yeah, we're gonna get into thatyeah, role.
I was.
Like you can tell theprogrammer might have been
melanin deficient or justlacking rhythm, because well,
let's robot doing this.
Soph (28:24):
Yeah so let's take a look.
So he had, so that was part ofit.
So it was.
It was three things that werefeatured at this um big reveal.
It looked like a really goodparty though, so kudos to that.
So he revealed the cyber cab ofthe robo van and the optimist
robot.
So let's, let's take a look atum.
(28:44):
Let's take a look at this video.
Nele (28:46):
I love the beginning.
Oh my goodness, we don't needhim.
Soph (28:52):
Oh my goodness you know what that mean.
I don't need to make fun of him.
So that's the cyber cab.
Nele (29:04):
It's so ugly it's hideous.
Soph (29:08):
It's hideous.
Let's go on to.
We have quite a show for youtonight.
I think you're going to like it.
Oh my goodness, I just arrivedin the robo-taxi, the cyber cab,
and there's 20 more.
(29:28):
Where that came from?
There's 20.
Nele (29:33):
Wow.
Soph (29:34):
So let's go to this cyber taxi.
Nele (29:37):
Now the cyber taxi.
What is it Actually?
We saw this.
That was to this cyber taxi Nowthe cyber taxi.
Soph (29:40):
What is it Actually?
We saw this.
That was just a cyber taxi.
We're going to go to the.
What he, what he got into, isthe cyber taxi.
Nele (29:46):
Okay.
Soph (29:46):
So this is the um.
What we're going to show now isthe is the uh, oh, and uh, also
, what, what, what, what is this?
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this what?
Nele (29:55):
the hell is this?
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this.
Soph (29:59):
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this?
Nele (30:13):
What the?
Soph (30:14):
hell is this Oculus?
Nele (30:16):
Absolutely not.
Soph (30:17):
And, as you can see, we started up with someone in a
robot suit, sort of that, andthen we've progressed
dramatically year after year.
Nele (30:26):
Yeah, okay, no, absolutely not.
Soph (30:29):
So that's that.
And then someone was like, howthis the cybers, how the cybers,
the robo van looks like itlooks like the van from iRobot
where all the evil robots cameout of.
Nele (30:47):
Yeah, it does.
I was like this looks familiar.
Soph (30:50):
I'm telling you, like this man has no imagination.
Like he saw that movie, lovedit and said just wants to spread
this ugliness.
Nele (30:56):
That's why it's supposed to be contained in a movie.
We don't want this here.
This is ugly, it's hideous.
First of all, now you know Ilove my people, but you can't
talk about technology becauseit's going to bring some like
foolishness.
So rapper Slim Thug was, youknow, talking about the robots,
(31:17):
like oh, you know, we get arobot, we're going to replace
you women.
You know talking about therobots like oh, you know, we get
a robot, we're gonna replaceyou, you women, you know,
because we'll have a robotcooking clean and we gotta care
about his feelings and have sexwith the robot then you do that
and leave women alone look, thewomen on this planet will thank
the robot gladly.
just go ahead, just go ahead.
(31:38):
Just first of all, I read thatthese robots started like
$16,000.
So good luck.
Why don't you want to pay forit For now?
Soph (31:49):
So the tax.
He starts at $30,000.
He's saying it's going to befor $30,000.
Nele (31:53):
But yeah right.
Soph (31:54):
That's the same thing when he said Tesla, there was one
price for Tesla.
And then, like right before itcame out, he was like no, I'm
jacking this up like anotherlike 20 grand.
You either bought it or youdidn't.
And his fans, his fans saidokay, we'll do it even though we
prepaid.
Nele (32:14):
Here's the thing Like Elon said something about, like oh,
oh, you know, you can have therobot, like, basically, do
domestic work for you, like cookstuff for you and bring stuff
to you, whatever, and it's justlike.
I'm all for creation andprogression, but to create
things that will then, like well, how that affected domestic
(32:38):
workers.
You understand, like you knowwhat I mean.
Like you create things that toreplace people.
Because you've never had towork, you don't know what it's
like to have a job of yoursunder threat because of
technology.
So you create, keep creatingthese things that does the job
for everyone else.
And then what about the actual,like human beings?
(33:00):
Oh, robots can do all thesethings, but then people are out
of a job.
Soph (33:03):
Yeah, and you know what.
So they like to tell us rightwhen it comes to these things.
They like to tell us um, techis supposed to save us time,
give us more leisure, make it amore green space and do all of
this and do all of that.
When OpenAI ChatGPT came on thescene, it was a huge thing.
(33:24):
The stuff it was able to do wasamazing, which caused a lot of
jobs to be eliminated, and thoseof us who are still working,
our jobs didn't get any easier.
We're still working the sameamount of time.
So, if you really want to helppeople, if you really want to
help me save time, you want tohelp create more green spaces,
create a technology that I don'tneed to work and I'm in.
(33:46):
Like, all my needs are providedfor.
I could buy a house, I couldraise a family if I choose to,
or I could raise a cat if Ichoose to shout out to the cat
women, okay, yes.
Like, if you want to reallyhelp people, if you want us to
have more time or more leisuretime, like, why don't you do
that?
You know, I I don't want um, Idon't want tech that freeze,
(34:09):
that frees up my time, just so Icould still sit in a robo taxi
for two plus hours to get towork and work like 40 plus hours
a week.
Nele (34:18):
I don't want that.
That's true.
And now they haven't peoplecome back to to work now.
Soph (34:24):
It's, this is not.
This is not for us.
It's, it's not.
It's not for us.
It's not to give us back time,cause guess what?
Something will come and takeits place.
Mainly work.
Nele (34:33):
Yeah.
Soph (34:35):
I mean, this is capitalism , it's not to help us.
Nele (34:37):
It is and here's the thing right.
We have to work to buy theshiny things that are supposed
to make our life easier and so,in reality, just lower the
prices of everything so we don'thave to work so hard and do all
of the things.
That's the reality of it, youknow, but that's not going to
happen.
We got to be able to work toafford the shiny things.
Soph (35:04):
Yeah, we got to be able to work to afford the shiny things
.
Yeah, but I, I love how, um, um.
So when it comes to the, whenit comes to the optimist robot,
really not, it's not.
So the version that is now it'snot fully autonomous, it's
remote controlled by someone inanother country.
(35:24):
Who's to say that person is notspying on you or gathering data
about your life?
Of course, musk and his otherbig operations they build
empires of collecting data Likewhy wouldn't this robot just be
another tool to do the samething?
This robot?
Nele (35:45):
all up in your house, all up in your spice cabinet.
Yes, exactly.
All up in your business.
Soph (35:52):
Yeah.
And then, first of all, thishas a long time coming, right.
I don't know if in 2021, whenhe first revealed that he was
working on this, he, he had awhole reveal, and this is this
is let me show you what thisreveal was.
So this man is like I'm workingon a robot.
People are excited.
You know he hosts this eventand let me show you what we see.
(36:16):
He's so weird, let me me.
And then the fact that he wasable to do this and, like he, no
one bats an eye, like hisstocks still go up, um, like
people still believe in him.
I don't understand.
Nele (36:30):
I don't understand it either like he can use his money
and his influence to like notsaying this stuff doesn't matter
, like SpaceX is dope, you know,but like there's stuff that's
happening right now to realflesh and blood people.
Yeah, so this?
Soph (36:49):
is.
Nele (36:53):
Is that someone in a robot outfit?
Soph (36:57):
This was his reveal.
Nele (37:01):
What is this?
This was his reveal.
What is this?
This was in 2021.
Soph (37:03):
That's Musk to the side.
That's who?
That's Musk to the side.
If you can see that person, ohI see it right there?
Nele (37:14):
Absolutely not.
First of all these moves areawful.
Absolutely not.
Soph (37:18):
First of all these moves are awful?
Absolutely not.
This was 20, that was 2021.
When he said he has a robot toshow us, fast forward now in
2024, it's no longer a man in asuit, but now this thing is not,
even it's not fully autonomous.
Okay so, and we think he's likesome great genius.
Nele (37:46):
He just has a lot of money and he likes to tinker with
toys.
Soph (37:51):
Yeah, so the?
So the cyber, the cyber cab orthe robo taxis.
This is already a thing.
So there's a company calledwaymo and they have self-driving
taxis and they've been cruisingthrough cities like san fran,
la um, phoenix and austin for awhile now.
So this is this is nothing newhere the robo van there was.
(38:13):
These journalists, rebeccaBellin and Maxwell Zeff at
TechCrunch, described it,described the robo van as having
a retro, futuristic look,somewhere between a bus from the
JetSense and a toaster from the1950s, somewhere between a bus
from the jet sense and a toasterfrom the 1950s.
First of all, I think thisthing it looks like a trolley,
(38:36):
like it literally looks.
So we're just, you know, likeit's.
Nele (38:42):
Like.
I don't.
Is it a robo van Like like aminivan, or is it just a van
Like for transport?
Soph (38:48):
I think it's a van for transportation and for
transportation.
I think it's a van fortransportation, it's a van for
transportation.
This is only a prototype.
Only that one van exists, Ithink, for the cybercabs he has
a couple.
The robot he has I don't knowhow many, but the van I think he
only has one, but the van Ithink he only has one.
(39:12):
So, yeah, I mean.
So he has this big event andshows off these toys.
People have all the jokes right.
I love to me that comment aboutthe Jetsons in a 1950s toaster.
Like all of his inventions,have that feel, that feel that
someone like what someone in the80s would envision a future in
(39:35):
2015 would look like Like that'swhat this stuff is.
Nele (39:39):
It was giving me the taxi, was giving me like RoboCop with
a little bit of Knight Rider.
It was just it was ugly as hell, like those Cybertru.
It's.
Ugly as hell, like those cybertrucks.
Ugly as hell.
I've seen like three of themrecently and I'm like why I see
them?
Soph (39:56):
it's I see them all over georgia so it is um, so I I
don't think anyone really likedany of what he showed off.
Um, people are so underwhelmedI mean, in fact, it was so
unimpressive that so Tesla'sshares fell 7%.
Oh, wow, yeah, musk's net worthdropped by a staggering 15
(40:20):
billion.
I say staggering, but I'm sureto him 15 billion is not a lot.
Yeah, and a wall street analystcalled tesla's um 30 000 robo
taxi, dubbed the cap, atoothless taxi in a note to
investors friday morning, addingthat tesla has vicious targets
with little evidence offeasibility.
He does this often he promisesthe world and he gives you a man
(40:42):
in a robot suit dancing around,or you know this, um, this low
budget yeah, yeah, so he he hasa habit of over promising and
coming up short.
He's not an innovator, right?
Um, thinking about, like hisrobots, companies like boston
dynamics.
They have several variations uh, for, like a dog like robot and
(41:04):
, um, humanoid, humanoid onesthat can jump, that can pick up
things that are fully.
They don't need someone toremote control them from another
country.
Yeah.
Nele (41:14):
I've seen these Chinese robots and they had better dance
moves by far, and I think thevideo was actually from a few
years ago.
It was like these Chineserobots and I was like, yeah,
Well, so Honda back in the 80s?
Soph (41:28):
so back in the 80s again.
This man is.
He's not reinventing, he's notinventing anything.
This thing already existsability to recognize moving
objects, postures, gestures, itssurrounding environment, sounds
(41:53):
and faces, which enabled it tointeract with humans.
It could detect the movementsof multiple objects by using
visual information captured bytwo camera eyes in its head, and
also determine distance anddirection, and it could do a ton
of other things that this,whatever he presented to us,
can't.
So again, the tech is there,it's been done.
(42:16):
I'm not sure why Elon is seen asthe father, the son and the
Holy Spirit of this AI movementand tech advancement, and he's
not.
He made a name for himselfearly on as some innovator who
had the answer to this utopianfuture.
He doesn't, and the more I hearhim speak and the more I look
(42:38):
into what other companies aredoing in this space, and the
more he becomes a deranged MAGA,the more I'm like this man.
He just has enough money tohire the right people, buy up
the right company to make himlook like this Einstein level
genius, which I mean, I don'tthink he's.
I think I do think he's smart,I just don't think he's who he
(43:00):
likes to portray himself to be.
And, honestly, if we're gonnaget like robots, like he's
thinking, like the babysitters,the lawnmowers and all of that,
it's going to come from Japan,you know, yeah, moving in the
future and you know theyprobably have the tech, but
they're like we're not giving itto the US because you all
(43:21):
militarize everything.
Like it's like how can I makethis a weapon, yeah, and that's
and that's it a weapon?
Yeah, and that's and that's it,and it was.
It was very underwhelming and Iwould like for these companies
(43:42):
to create tech so I do not haveto work and all my like that's
what I want If you need yourtime.
Like like I hate when they comeup with these things and like,
oh, my god, you're gonna have somuch time, it's gonna do this,
it's gonna do that, but I stillhave to work 40 hours a week?
yeah, absolutely not no drive asoften.
Great, but I still gotta gointo the office at nine and then
(44:03):
leave at five.
So I still what?
What leisure time do I have?
They're like oh, he was sayingfor the, for the taxi.
He's like you could sleep in it, you could do work in it, I'm
like like a train, that's youknow he's like so out of so
(44:24):
removed.
Nele (44:25):
I'm saying, like these people create these things and
they have no concepts, Just likeTrump.
It's like Trump he doesn'tcreate things but except stories
of nevermind.
But you know Trump being in thein the supermarket looking all
lost, grabbed like a random bagof popcorn.
This man has never groceryshopped for himself.
(44:48):
He's never known what it's liketo write a resume like he
doesn't know and you want him torule the country.
You think he cares about foodprices.
I don't.
I don't get it.
I get it because it'saspirational.
You know, to be melanin,deficient and have money and
power.
That's aspirational for people,yeah, but it for us, regular
(45:14):
folk, it it doesn't do me anygood, honestly it doesn't, I
don't, I don't care.
Soph (45:19):
Like again, like open, ai, chat, gpt.
You know these super powerfulmachines that can do all of this
work.
People still got to work First.
People either lost jobs orthey're just working the same
Like it does.
It does nothing.
Whose whose time is it freeing?
Nele (45:39):
It helps me with my emails , but then it just frees up more
time to write more emails.
Soph (45:48):
So, exactly Cause that cause, the man is going to be
like, oh you did this so quickly.
Either I should get rid of youand just let it do that, or I
can give you more work.
They're going to find work tofill it up and I don't.
I don't care about any of thisstuff.
There are real problems that wecan be looking into.
The stuff that we want to do,it's just I get it.
(46:12):
It'd be nice to you know, havesome, you know, energy efficient
, whatever.
And that's another thing Likeall of these, like all of these,
electric, they're all electric.
Yeah, grid to support it?
Like I don't understand Facts,we do not have the grid to
support it.
Like I don't understand Facts,we do not have the grid to
support it.
California is on this thingwhere, like, they want people to
(46:33):
have like electric cars bywhatever year it is which is not
that far away.
On what freaking grid.
Nele (46:41):
Facts.
Soph (46:44):
I don't understand, but it's all about the money.
Nele (46:48):
Yep.
So this is what this is aboutAll right.
So stay woke, y'all, becauseCan we watch that video again,
the one of the dancing robot inthe suit?
Soph (47:04):
Yes.
Nele (47:04):
Let's watch that again, please.
Muscles.
Like yeah On the side.
Like yeah On the side.
Like yeah, absolutely not.
(47:27):
This is awful.
Soph (47:34):
Not even good dancing either.
Nele (47:35):
Not even good dancing either.
First I was like okay, you weredoing the robot, all right, you
were getting this.
And then all that other stuff Idon't know what that was.
Soph (47:44):
That is low budget as hell Can you imagine you invite
people to unveil this robotyou've been working on and
promising them and they getthere and they're like how are
you not chased out of town?
How do?
Nele (47:57):
you Low budget as hell.
You know what that reminds meof, which is related but not
related.
Soph (48:03):
Yeah, how could they not vote you off these companies?
These shareholders are afraidof them because any other
company CEO they're like.
How can we get them out?
Nele (48:15):
girl this reminds me of actually it's a kind of a Diddy
story, but not so.
Me and Javi shout out to my boo, javi, we were at Diddy's
restaurant, justin's and so mymom was promising us that we
were going to meet TysonBeckford.
We're like, oh, tyson Beckford,we were going to meet tyson
beckford.
We're like, oh, tyson beckford,we're gonna meet tyson beckford
.
That she was like oh, here'styson beckford's daddy.
(48:36):
We were like what girl we don'twant to meet his daddy?
She made us take a picture withhim low budget as hell managing
expectations.
she was the elon mus, the ElonMusk of our hopes and dreams of
meeting Tyson Beckford.
I didn't know.
Jd had a restaurant, yes, inthe city called Justin's.
(48:59):
I remember we went there andthey were like, oh, do you want
some water?
We thinking it's water a la tap, and then it comes in this
fancy blue bottle.
The water's like $50.
We were like what in the hell?
You want to put that shit back?
Fancy blue bottle.
Soph (49:09):
The water's like $50.
Nele (49:08):
We were like what in the hell you want to put that shit
back?
That happened to me once.
Soph (49:11):
I went somewhere.
They were like, do you want tapor still?
I was like I want still.
And then they bring us thisfancy bottle.
I'm like, oh, this is nice.
And we had like three of them$15 each.
We're like what?
Nele (49:25):
Absolutely not, it was.
Soph (49:28):
Voss, I think that's how I say it V-O-S-S.
That's good water.
Nele (49:34):
That's good water.
Soph (49:37):
All right, that's that girl.
Nele (49:42):
That was a whole heap of a hot mess.
Soph (49:45):
The future is almost here.
It looks like we're living inthe 80s.
Nele (49:56):
Yeah Well, maybe what's up next is a little bit more
hopeful.
So now on to shady astrology,where I know How's that hopeful.
I'm going to get there.
I'm going to get there.
Girl, let me get there where Inormally would get, in your
Zodiac's ass.
But since I did that with theLibras, no shout outs to the
(50:16):
Libras.
But my one Libra fan was likeis that what you really think of
us?
Yes, girl, but I said goodthings too.
You don't take all I got togive all right.
We're going to talk aboutactually.
It's actually a really specialtime because there's a full moon
in Aries on October 17th andit's supposed to be a big deal.
(50:40):
It's called the Hunter's Moonand what makes it such a big
deal is that it'll be thelargest super moon of the year.
At its nearest point, it willbe 222,000 miles from the earth
and appear 10% larger thannormal.
So, y'all, it's a big ass.
Moon October 7th, yes, so Aries, right.
(51:05):
What does it mean when themoon's in Aries?
So Aries is a fire sign that isknown for its bold, assertive
energy.
So this full moon encouragespeople to take initiative,
assert their personal needs andembark on new projects or
changes.
It's time for bold decisionsand embracing leadership roles.
But there also may be someheightened impulsivity or
(51:26):
conflict.
That's right, because Ariesthey be doing the most.
They're real intense.
Right.
Aries can push individualstowards fast, decisive decisions
without fully thinking themthrough.
So bold, big ass moon.
We have some bold, big assdecisions and things that we
need to work on.
(51:47):
Tap into your inner aries.
Y'all the aries is the ram.
Tap into your inner ram and ramtowards those goals.
Right, that's right.
It says now's the time toreflect on personal goals, set
boundaries and embrace courage,but it's also to important to
balance this fiery energy withpatience and mindfulness to
(52:08):
avoid unnecessary conflict orburnout.
Yes, so the moon will be bigand bright on the 17th of
October.
You know, set your intentions,make those decisions.
You got anything bold that youwant to do.
Soph Girl, I have so many boldthings that I want to do if I
(52:35):
were to be bold, I would justquit society.
Me and nz and my plants wouldjust live on a commune in north
dakota somewhere.
But that's it for shadyastrology.
I can't speak Shady astrology.
See, it wasn't so bad right.
Soph (52:50):
No, it wasn't so bad.
One thing I wanted to look into.
So there's supposed to be likean extra moon in the sky.
I'm going to read this articlebecause I think it's cool.
So this fall, I think,beginning sometime in September,
the skies will hold a specialtreat for attentive space lovers
.
The skies will hold a specialtreat for attentive space lovers
(53:10):
.
Over the next two months, Earthwill have a second moon.
Beginning on September 29th,just after 4 pm, An asteroid
will enter Earth's orbit andtravel in a horseshoe-shaped
path around the planet until itdeparts on November 25th.
Earth's second moon is actuallyin NASA's name 2024 PT5.
(53:34):
It's considered a temporarymini moon because moons are
scientifically defined asnaturally formed bodies that
orbit planets, per NASA science.
But to us Earthlings it won'tlook like the moon we know and
love, because it won't bevisible to the naked eye.
In fact, the second moon is somini that even a normal it won't
be visible to the naked eye.
In fact, the second moon is somany that even a normal
(53:56):
telescope won't be able tocapture it.
To see it, you'll need atelescope at least 30 inches in
diameter, paired with a CCB orCMOS digital detector.
So while we do have the secondmoon.
You will not be able to see itunless you have special
equipment.
So that's pretty cool.
Nele (54:09):
Tying into you know um, big ass, big ass moon yes, you
got a tent moon a mini moon anda big ass moon All right, Well,
yeah, that's that's it All right.
Well, y'all, thank you forjoining us for this episode.

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed.
