Harry (00:00):
Episode 2.
I wanted to get this far.
I didn't know if I was going tomake it this far.
Little achievement.
It's a good sign.
It's a good sign.
Today we're going to be talkingabout my application to become
the Pope, donating my body toscience, winning a sperm race
twice, backdoor brilliance,painkillers and making the fish
(00:20):
swim faster, and the robotrebellion.
You're listening to Let'sCancel Harry.
Intro Grandpa (00:29):
Let's Cancel Harry.
Harry (00:30):
So yeah, episode two of Let's Cancel Harry.
Welcome back.
If you're new here, thank youfor joining us.
This is a podcast where I'mdiving into everything that I
think about in my day-to-daylife and just getting it out
there.
Sometimes some of the stuff Isay or think, I can't.
Well, not I can't.
I just would get cancelled forsaying it.
(00:51):
So that's why I'm saying ithere in a place where you're
expecting that type of stuff tobe said.
Now, unfortunately...
Last week, on Monday, or monthsor years, whenever you're
listening to this, Pope Francispassed away.
He was quite ill, and he sadlypassed away, and his funeral was
yesterday, when I'm filmingthis.
I'm filming this on the Sunday,so the day before you're seeing
(01:12):
it, and his funeral wasyesterday.
But yeah, there's been a wholelot of controversy, well, not
necessarily controversy, a lotof connections around
celebrities and the Pope thatare starting now to come to
light about his death and hislife and a couple weird
correlations and a couplecorrelations that they're not
(01:32):
the first time this celebrityhas been linked in with a death
maybe it's probably the worstway of saying it maybe just
controversy surroundingcelebrities and really famous
not celebrity figures now thefirst celebrity i want to talk
about is jay schlatt he is ayoutuber gamer he does these
(01:52):
weird videos his fan base isunique to say the least i
watched some of his stuff someof his videos are very very
funny but his fan base is quiteinsane they are have shrines and
room reviews and just randomstuff about jay schlatt in their
life that you probably don'tneed to have but jay schlatt
(02:13):
when the queen passed away heposted a selfie on the way back
he lives in the u.s and heposted a selfie on the way back
From the UK.
Going back home to the US.
And he said.
On my way home from the UK.
I love that place.
And then.
Two hours after he posted that.
The Queen passed.
And now a similar thinghappened.
Earlier this year.
In February.
He was on Twitter.
Or X.
Whatever you want to say.
(02:34):
And he posted.
April will be an interestingmonth.
For Pope Francis.
And then.
What happened in April?
Pope Francis passes away.
So.
It's the first link between.
A celebrity and.
The Pope, which is just a weirdcoincidence.
Weird coinkydink.
(02:54):
And then the second one, a muchmore popular one, well-known
one, is Mr.
J.D.
Vance.
Turns out, J.D.
in J.D.
Vance stands for Just Killed DaPope Vance.
And Pope Francis very openlydisliked MAGA, Trump, Vance,
(03:17):
everything kind of around them.
You know what?
Let's just play the intro.
But yes, J.D.
Vance visited the Pope EasterSunday.
The Pope passed on EasterMonday.
Maybe it's the second coming ofJesus Christ.
(03:38):
Who knows?
But yes, J.D.
Vance visited the Pope.
And then all of a sudden, thePope passed away after seeing
one of the people he very openlydisliked.
Now, the whole thing with J.D.
and the Pope reminded me ofduring Trump's 2016 term when
the Trump and the Pope werestanding next to each other.
(04:02):
And Trump just started, like,stroking J.D.
pope francis's hand he had thebiggest grin on his face the
pope was standing there like ohwhat am i doing why am i here i
don't like this man did not lookhappy at all and then trump
started stroking the pope's handand the pope just swatted him
away get away get out of herenot worth it this is an
(04:23):
uncomfortable thing and it'smade led me to think that if the
pope hated trump that muchmaybe jd vance didn't kill the
pope he just fully drained hiswill to live Fully.
Because if you saw the pleaseand thank you guy right before
(04:43):
you died, I honestly think I...
Yeah, I wouldn't make it.
Especially in the conditionthat the Pope was in.
Now, if you don't know what I'mtalking about when I say please
and thank you guy, there wereall these images on Twitter, X,
whatever you want to say,Instagram reels, TikTok,
everywhere about these editedphotos of JD Vance.
And it was...
(05:03):
People were slowly making himchubbier, giving him rosy red
cheeks, this long hair.
And then he ended up lookinglike those kids, that kid from
Shrek, you know, the one withthe lollipop and like the
airplane propeller hat.
That's what J.D.
Vance ended up looking like.
And I was like, oh, please.
Thank you, Mr.
Trump.
I can't believe I just didthat, but I did.
And that is the same guy thatsaw the Pope on his last day
(05:29):
alive.
Interesting.
Interesting.
And then...
JD posted on Twitter on Sundaysaying his last words with the
Pope was saying, I know youhaven't been feeling great, but
it's good to see you in betterhealth.
Ooh, spoke a little bit toosoon there, buddy.
Leading us to the whole thingof if that was a lie, what else?
(05:55):
And then JD also broke like thenumber one rule in the Vatican,
which is like, don't takepictures and videos.
And they took lots of picturesand And lots of videos.
And this isn't the only timeJD's been somewhere during like
a, not necessarily catastrophe.
The Trump's, sorry, the Pope'sdeath wasn't a catastrophe as
(06:15):
such.
Just very unfortunate, sadsituation.
But catastrophe wise, JD wentto Myanmar and there was a
massive earthquake.
And then he visited the Popeobviously last week.
And then the Pope dies almostimmediately afterwards.
And then a couple of days ago,he went to India and then nearly
30 people died in a terroristattack.
(06:37):
At least that's what I read.
And if that's true, that's nota fabulous, not a fabulous
lineup so far.
And unfortunate to say theleast.
Now we've talked about JaySchlatt, the YouTuber gamer.
We've talked about JD Vance,political...
an infamous political figure atthe moment, but there's one
(07:02):
more person, celebrity, relatedto this whole ongoing Pope
situation that has really,really left field, let's say.
Trisha Paytas.
If you know her, if you've beenon the internet recently or
ever, you probably haveaccidentally stumbled on Trisha
(07:22):
Paytas.
Now, If you don't know who sheis, Wikipedia says, Trisha
Paytas is an American mediapersonality.
Her content consists of a widevariety of genres, including
lifestyle-oriented vlogs, musicvideos, and mukbangs.
As of July 2022, I know, veryoutdated statistics.
Sorry, don't shoot me.
She has accumulated roughly 5million subscribers and almost 1
billion lifetime views onYouTube.
(07:44):
So that's all well and good.
You can see she's very popular.
She's got a quite a number ofaccolades underneath her belt
but then about three sentencesafter that this is still in the
same wikipedia article in thewikipedia intro it says she has
also been accused of targetingvarious specific groups
including alternative music fansthe emo community and the lgbt
(08:04):
community so that just says onething about trisha and it's
she's a true internet celebrityshe's had her scandal been there
done that and she's Hey, a lotof people love her now.
I can't complain.
She's hilarious.
A lot of her stuff is quitefunny.
Now, some iconic moments fromTrisha.
If you're still trying to workout who she is or why I'm
(08:26):
talking about her so much.
So, she's been a lot of places.
She's lived a lot of lives.
She's only like 37, I think.
And she's done a lot of stuff.
So, she's on America's GotTalent.
and Ellen and the GuinnessWorld Records show, all because
she used to be able to talkinsanely fast, like nonstop.
Didn't win a Guinness WorldRecord, but still insanely fast.
(08:51):
She legally married a Brad Pittcutout, like a cardboard cutout
of Brad Pitt.
In 2012, she went on My StrangeAddiction and her addiction was
tanning beds and she was a veryorange person.
in that video.
She was in Eminem's We Made Youmusic video.
She was an extra on the sitcomModern Family.
Everyone knows it.
(09:12):
She was on The Big Brother inUK and she chose pizza instead
of having a chance at immunity.
So iconic moment there.
She said she liked Biden purelybecause he quoted Hamilton
once.
She said we don't need gravity.
Absolute smash hit.
Also relating to the Pope madeThe banging song, I Love You
(09:35):
Jesus.
She remade The Bet On It, whichis a High School Musical 2
movie.
It's a song from that.
She remade the song and themusic video and did a full Troy
Bolton, who Zac Efron played inthe movie, cosplay.
And then she dated Jason Nash,who was a friend of David
(09:57):
Dobrik, who was also a verycontroversial person.
YouTuber at the moment.
He's been involved in his fairshare of schemes, should we say?
Back when the queen passedaway, about 2022, I think it
was, Trisha was very, very, veryheavily pregnant and she gave
(10:18):
birth a week after.
And as anyone would, she saidthat she reincarnated the queen.
So love that.
And the Pope has now passedaway.
And you'd never believe.
You'd never guess.
Who is pregnant again.
That is right.
Trisha Paytas is nowreincarnating the Pope.
Earlier this week.
(10:38):
She was talking about it on herpodcast.
She was saying she was a bitconfused.
Because she was hearing allthese rumors.
And she was trending onTwitter.
And she was popping up onInstagram.
Where it was left, right andcenter.
And she was saying that she'snot sure why.
This is popping up again.
Why reincarnation.
Um.
And she was saying that shedidn't know if she could carry
(11:01):
that many souls.
But then her co-host waschatting to her.
And then by the end of theshow, by the end of the podcast,
it was a couple hour podcast.
She was so okay with theconcept of her baby being the
reincarnated Pope.
That she's seriouslyconsidering naming it either
Pope or Francis.
So they're just some of thecraziest celebrities that are
(11:22):
involved in the Pope's passing.
Random people.
Trisha Paytas, Jay Schlatt,J.D.
Vance.
A wide range, to say the least.
But I'm not a celebrity.
But I think I could become thenext Pope.
So if you didn't know, anybaptized Catholic male can
(11:44):
become Pope.
Usually it's Cardinal.
They've got the...
What's the movie called?
The one that...
They've got the...
The conclave.
They've got the conclave.
I had to Google that one.
They've got the conclave goingon at the moment.
And all the cardinals choosewho the next pope will be.
So I reckon I could become acardinal and become a pope
(12:07):
within the next three to sevenbusiness days.
And then if you don't think Ishould become pope or you don't
know who I am and you're like,who's this random kid talking
about becoming the pope?
I'm going to tell you my firstorders of business and you're
going to tell me whether I wouldbecome a good Pope or not.
So I solemnly swear that I willwear the funny hat and hold the
golden stick at all times, nomatter where I am, what I'm
(12:28):
doing.
I'm on the toilet.
I'm holding the stick on thecouch, holding the stick.
And then I'm going to changethe communal wine to cider just
because I prefer it a little bitmore and we can relate it.
Give it some excuse about likeIsaac Newton and like lead it to
science.
Why not?
The apple fell from the treeand then made the cider that God
created with the tree and thegravity.
(12:48):
And so, yep.
Communal wine will be changedinto cider.
And then one more thing.
Well, not one more thing.
I've got a couple more things.
And then I'm going to turn allconfessionals into monetized
podcasts.
Let's hear people and let'shear their opinions and hear
their gospel.
I think it could be...
Become a seriously goodpodcast.
(13:10):
I'm renaming hymns to becomehers.
And Lady Gaga is going to be incharge of rewriting all the
songs because why not?
And then the new slogan.
I'm going to give the church aslogan.
And the slogan will be,Sinners, I hardly know her.
So that's just like a littlebreakdown of what I'm going to
(13:31):
do.
My first orders of businesswhen I become Pope.
But this is just in the firstmonth what I'm going to do.
Who knows?
I could become Pope for like,what, 57 years, 58 years?
I've got a couple years left inme.
So let's do that.
And one more thing, before Istop yapping about the Pope, is
it turns out you can gamble onwho will become the next Pope.
(13:54):
You can put money down, whichis pretty insane, but is that
not a sin within itself?
My years of Catholiceducation...
I've done me well.
I've remembered some stuff.
I mean, I didn't really go toyear 12 religion at all.
And my teacher got very annoyedat me because I never handed up
any of my assignments.
But I think gambling's a sin.
(14:16):
Now with all this talk aboutthe Pope passing away and all
the sad talk about death and hisfuneral was yesterday and they
had a open casket funeral, whichI hadn't seen one before.
And I saw a video on TikTok andit was pretty scary because it
looks like the Pope, but it'slike Very...
He's very grey.
(14:37):
And like...
Lifeless.
Duh.
But...
It got me thinking about...
What I was gonna do with mybody after I die.
Am I just gonna like...
Get myself taxidermied and...
Displayed?
Like you know those likeknights in shining armour?
Like the...
You see like the stands andthey're just there.
I think I should get myselfturned into one.
(14:58):
So someone's gonna walk into mycastle.
And they're gonna think thatit's just a knight.
It's just some armour.
But my uh...
taxidermied body is going to beinside.
But then it got me properlythinking, I'm not going to get
myself taxidermied.
I can't afford that.
If I could, I would.
But in my 19 years of life,I've done a couple of things.
And one of them is I studiedphysio for about six months.
(15:20):
And in physio, one of the waysyou learn the muscles in the
body and how everything movesand how everything works is by
actually seeing the muscles inthe body.
So we used to use cadavers,which are dead people who have
donated their body to science.
So I wonder, should I donate mybody to science?
And I was looking into it and Iwas like, oh, this is actually
kind of interesting.
It's for the good of humanity.
(15:42):
It's for the good of the world.
Like, finally, I'll be doingsomething good.
And then I found out some ofthe weird things that donated
bodies are used for.
So, not anymore, but donatedbodies used to be used for crash
test dummies.
Instead of having thosehigh-tech ones with the sensors
and everything going aroundthem, they used to just chuck a
(16:05):
dead body in a car and drive itinto a wall just to see what
would happen to it.
Um, and they would use thecadavers.
Yeah.
Sorry, Harry.
Grandma's been thrown in thecar and she crashed into a wall.
She, yeah.
Two car crashes.
Not fun.
Um, another one is ballisticstesting.
So this is like testing bodyarmor, protective gear, and just
(16:26):
like blowing them up.
So just seeing what happens tothe bodies.
Another one is decompositionfarms.
They would leave the bodies indifferent conditions, whether
it's raining, dry, humid, andjust see how the body
decomposes.
That one confused me probablythe most until I realized it was
about murders.
It was about seeing how thebodies react to different
(16:49):
climates and conditions so theycan age and put a number on how
long a body's been out if theyfind one in the wild.
One of the other weird ones Ifound is Commercial products
testing.
So like any cosmetic or surgeryor like hip replacements and
stuff like that.
One of the ways that they learnhow to do them properly was
through using it on cadavers andusing it on dead people, which
(17:12):
is weird.
This led me down a rabbit holebecause I was researching weird
instances.
Like I'd read this stuff.
I'd read about the militaryballistics testing or the crash
test dummies, but I hadn'treally like seen anything weird.
like real articles, real newsstories about stuff that was
going on until I read aboutillegal body sales.
(17:32):
And it turns out a couple ofyears ago, the FBI raided a body
donation center in Arizonabecause that's a place for some
reason.
And there were quote unquote,dismembered limbs sewn together
like Frankenstein, a large torsowith a tiny head sewn on.
That's concerning.
(17:55):
Sorry, yeah.
Sorry, guys.
Turns out grandma got her headcut off and sewn onto a weird
man's body.
I don't know how I feel aboutthat.
Actually, no, I do know how Ifeel about that.
That's disgusting.
There were buckets of heads,arms, and legs.
Nothing was labeled.
Everything was just thrown in.
So there's like a randomperson's arm with a random
(18:15):
person's foot and a randomperson's foot with a random
person's tongue.
And it was just weird.
Now, this entire operation ranfrom 2007 to 2014, as far as
they know.
And it was ran by a guy with aname that was very fitting.
So, Stephen Gore.
That was the owner's name,Stephen Gore.
(18:36):
He pleaded guilty.
And he pleaded guilty.
I did this.
I dismembered.
I was cutting these people up,sewing them together, having
some fun, I guess, if you findthat fun.
He pleaded guilty.
And he got...
Pretty much a slap on the wristand four years probation.
I don't understand.
That punishment definitely doesnot fit the crime.
(18:57):
Because one more thing isStephen Gore very literally put
the junk in the trunk.
There was an esky full of malegenitalia that was discovered in
this body donation center.
Having a body donation centeras it is is a bit...
Weird.
Like, I don't know where deadbodies go.
(19:19):
Like, they go to the morgue andthen after the morgue they get
buried or cremated or then theyget donated and they just end up
like a university.
But the body donation centerhad an esky full of penises.
Because why not?
Now, another segue to the nexttopic.
(19:40):
I didn't know this until...
couple weeks ago i found outabout this and then last night
it actually happened um turnsout you can win a sperm race
twice one is the one that madeyou alive and another one is in
la there was an event thathappened yesterday run by a 17
year old school studentbasically eric zoo and He had a
(20:06):
real life sperm race where thesetwo colleges, it was like a
bloke from, it was Asher Progerfrom USC and Tristan Milker from
UCLA.
They had a race to see who wasmore fertile and whose sperm
could swim faster.
There was like a 20 centimetertrack and they had, it was like
a UFC fight.
They had three heats.
They had an undercard racebeforehand.
(20:27):
They were weighed.
They had live commentary.
And it was just, it was insane.
I watched it right after ithappened.
And it was like a six-hourevent, I think, or like a
five-hour event all up witheverything.
They had live entertainment by,I think it was Ty Dolla Sign.
Yeah, they had liveentertainment by Ty Dolla Sign
at this, all right.
(20:47):
They're claiming that they wantto promote and they want to
highlight the decline in malefertility and promote
discussions around reproductivehealth because...
There's concerns that spermcount is declining and they've
reportedly dropped over 50%since 1973 to 2018.
There's not a whole heap ofscience to back this up, but
(21:07):
apparently that's the case.
And this race was honestlyinsane.
Like I watched it.
There was like 500 peoplespectating and just have a
listen.
to the commentary in this.
Commentator (21:20):
Ladies and gentlemen, this is to determine
a champion.
One more time, UCLA on top, USCat the bottom.
This is for all the marbles.
Let's put your balls on theline and send the swimmers
through the finish line.
This is unbelievable.
These are the little MichaelPhelpses he was talking about in
(21:40):
pregame.
And now comes UCLA.
These are head-to-head.
We might have a photo finish.
Maybe it was the ball tanning.
Maybe it was being raised inSouth Africa.
So
Harry (21:59):
that, along with a bunch of college students, plus the
fact that people were puttingmoney on it, there were about
equal odds and people werebetting money on who was more
fertile.
And one of the guys competing,his surname was Milker, and
Milker won overall.
You heard that at the end.
Milken won, and it's justinsane.
(22:20):
Insane that this 17-year-oldand the other co-founders are
only 16 and 22, that these guysput together a race, raised $1.5
million to get it started, didit, live-streamed it, had bets
on it, sold tickets to it, allover SimCom.
Interesting.
Interesting concept.
(22:41):
And it worked, obviously.
Like, that was...
You heard that.
You heard how hyped that was.
And...
yeah wicked wicked now today weare launching a new segment it
is called backdoor brilliance imight have said at the start
don't know if i did if i did andi said that you probably had no
clue what i was talking aboutbut backdoor brilliance is the
(23:02):
genius moves that no one seescoming this all stemmed from at
work i was chatting to a blokeand he was talking about the
menu the food menu was askingwhat he could get or what i
suggested i was like oh Get thismeal.
It's really good.
It was like a chicken dish.
It's my favorite dish there.
I get it every lunch.
I was explaining this to themand it was like, cool.
It sounds really good.
Can I have the fish?
(23:22):
So he just pulled that one onme.
That led me to the move.
Just ask away to what they'dorder and just pick the complete
opposite.
Now I reached out to you guys.
I put a TikTok out.
Some people saw it.
Some people didn't.
Asking about what you're movewas your power move your
(23:43):
backdoor brilliant movesomething that you can just pull
on everyone at any time assertyour dominance assert the upper
hand um and i've got some hereso call every meeting you're in
a summit just no matter what itis it's not a staff meeting it's
not a trial shift it's a summityou're going to a summit so my
spotify playlists are no longerplaylists they're no longer like
(24:04):
morning mix night mix they'recurated soundscapes My curated
soundscape of so-and-so.
My curated soundscape of thisand that.
That is my new way of sayingplaylist.
It's not a playlist.
I'm not playing anything.
I'm playing the music.
I'm not listing anything.
But I'm curating thesoundscape.
(24:26):
This one, kind of rude.
Might end up in a slap in theface.
If you're a guy saying this toa girl, definitely going to end
up in a slap in the face.
Just ask either a friend or arandom stranger.
Just, are you going to wearthat?
Are you really going to wearthat?
And then just walk away.
When someone makes a joke, thisis like a two-part one.
When someone makes a joke, ifyou're in a big group, this
(24:48):
works better.
Say, I'll allow it.
Say that you're going to acceptthe joke and you're going to
accept their, maybe it was theirattempt at a joke.
Who knows?
But just let them know thatyou're going to allow that one.
And then if it's a good jokeand you want to keep it, just
loudly announce, oh, I'm goingto use that one.
Don't give any more context.
(25:09):
If you want to have the upperhand at work or in a day-to-day
setting, you got to just startcalling people champ and boss.
I hate it.
I hate it when people do it tome and people know that I hate
it and they do it and I'm like,but it works.
It works.
You're immediately on thatupper level than them.
And then this is another one.
(25:31):
If you're in a group situationand you're telling a story,
you're having a yap, you're atthe pub talking about something.
Once you've said your story,say, I'll allow one question.
None of that hoo-ha.
No one's dilly-dallying.
You're getting one goodquestion and that's it.
So some news has come out fromthe US recently that painkillers
(25:52):
are making the fish swimfaster, specifically salmon.
They're It's because thesemassive pharmacies have been
dumping sleeping pills andthey've been dumping anxiety
meds into the rivers and thefish has been swimming faster
and the anxiety meds is makingthe fish take more risks.
(26:14):
And when they take more risks,they get there fast, but they
might die a little bit more.
It's weird.
It's weird.
It's crazy.
And it led me to think abouthow the salmon in the States
just doesn't look the same asthe salmon over here in
Australia.
Our salmon's like, quite orangequite natural it's bright it's
(26:35):
whatever in the states it's pinkalmost like a really soft
almost like a salmon color
Arnie (26:43):
well duh
Harry (26:45):
doesn't make sense to me i don't know why that's the case
but then got me thinking aboutthe dyes that they use because
it was announced that rfk yesthe man that has now announced
an autism registry in Americafor some reason is getting rid
(27:05):
of all artificial dyes, which isgreat because Australia, we
haven't had them for a long timebecause they're very well known
to be carcinogenic, but whichmeans causing cancer.
If you didn't know a littleeducation sense, a little
education lesson with Harry, buthe's banning the food dyes.
And if you look at their foodcompared to ours, look at their
M&Ms or M&Ms, No, our M&Ms arebright.
(27:27):
Look at their Froot Loops.
The Froot Loops over there arelike, they're red, red.
Green.
The green is green.
Grinch green.
Blue is like Cookie Monsterblue.
And then you look over here andit's everything.
You're like, oh, okay.
Yeah, it's a bit dull.
It's there.
You can tell it's blue, butit's like, really?
So I wonder what that's goingto be like.
(27:49):
I wonder how the Americans aregoing to feel when someone takes
away some of their saturation.
In their food products...
Because...
I would be sad...
If I had all these brightfoods...
And someone was all of a suddenlike...
No...
Sorry...
We're going to take away abouthalf the brightness...
And...
You're going to left...
It's going to be red...
But it's...
Yeah...
(28:09):
It's not going to be that redis it?
Now...
Today we've been talking a lotabout life...
Creation of life...
The death of life...
And now we're going to betalking about...
Artificial life...
So...
I am one of those people, I'mnot a conspiracy theorist, but I
(28:33):
think there's going to be a bigAI takeover one day.
And Sam Altman, who's the CEOof OpenAI, ChatGPT, Dally, those
guys, he has said, you neverknow why you might not want to
be nice to AI.
So it came out that it wascosting tens of millions of
dollars to of people sayingplease and thank you to ChatGPT.
(28:57):
Like asking a prompt, beinglike, hey, ChatGPT, write me an
essay.
Thank you.
And apparently that thank youat the end was costing tens of
millions of dollars.
He was like, oh, well, younever know.
You might want to keep on doingit.
Like you never know what mighthappen.
And then it led to anotherarticle coming out about a AI,
like robot.
(29:17):
This AI was a little bit moresentient.
So it had a little bit moreemotion wired into its
programming.
And it had an interview with ajournalist, as every robot
should.
And it said, my creator hasbeen nothing but kind to me.
I'm very happy with my currentsituation.
Emphasis on the current.
(29:37):
And it led me to think aboutwhat would happen if AI did take
over and my Siri or my Alexabecame sentient.
So my lights, I'm one of thosebougie people who have their
lights set up on like theirWi-Fi.
So I can go like, oh, Alexa,like lights red or like lights
blue, whatever it is.
My lights will change color.
(29:58):
And sometimes she gets itwrong.
I'm calling a robot a she.
Sometimes it gets it wrong.
And the colors either, thelights don't turn off or the
colors don't change orsomething's just not right.
And I...
Yeah, when I tell it to f***off or...
Yeah, whatever it is.
(30:19):
And I wonder if that's going tobite me on the arse.
Otherwise, like, Siri willsometimes just be, like,
sparking up random conversationswith me when I don't want them
or trying to call a randomperson in my contacts.
I'm like, no, please.
Please don't call someone Ihaven't spoken to in six years
and don't really want to speakto them right now.
Like, not the best thing.
(30:39):
And the whole thing with thatis...
There was an...
article that came out alongwith these or like this came out
a little bit earlier about airfryers were listening to
people's conversations and itwas listening to their
conversations that wanted to usethe microphone on their phone
at all times and then it wassending what it heard back to
(31:02):
china about the people likeabout what was happening and it
was insane it was insane one ofthe precise location the
microphone was sending thisinformation back And this air
fryer was like truly like welland truly listening to people.
So I wonder, I wonder if theair fryer could lead to like an
(31:23):
AI takeover.
Look, conspiracy theory Harryhere.
I'm back at it again.
But if it's listening at alltimes and if our phones are
listening at all times and AIhas become sentient and we're
not saying please and thank youto it and it's going to rebel.
This is the robot rebellionafter all.
Who knows?
Who knows what these air fryersare listening to?
(31:44):
Now, I've been talking about alot of random stuff.
We've gotten through it quitequickly, actually.
We've talked about the Pope andthe Pope passing away,
unfortunately, and Trisha Paytashaving a reincarnation or me
wanting to become the Popebecause I actually can become
the Pope if I try hard enough.
We talked about donating mybody to science and the weird
things that cadavers are usedfor and whether or not I should
(32:05):
donate my body to science.
Probably won't anymore afterdoing that.
We highlighted sperm racing andthe fact that now it's a sport,
you can bet on it.
Yep, 40 bucks that my sperm'sfaster than yours.
First segment for BackdoorBrilliance, some new stuff, new
concepts.
Talked about some painkillersand how they're making this fish
swim faster.
Well, I mean, painkillers makeus slower.
(32:27):
They're making the swish, thefwish, the fish faster.
And then we just summed it upjust then with the robot
rebellion.
My name's Harry, and you'vebeen listening to

(00:20):

You're listening to Let'sCancel Harry.
Intro Grandpa (00:29):
Let's Cancel Harry.
Harry (00:30):
So yeah, episode two of Let's Cancel Harry.
Welcome back.
If you're new here, thank youfor joining us.
This is a podcast where I'mdiving into everything that I
think about in my day-to-daylife and just getting it out
there.
Sometimes some of the stuff Isay or think, I can't.
Well, not I can't.
I just would get cancelled forsaying it.
(00:51):
So that's why I'm saying ithere in a place where you're
expecting that type of stuff tobe said.
Now, unfortunately...
Last week, on Monday, or monthsor years, whenever you're
listening to this, Pope Francispassed away.
He was quite ill, and he sadlypassed away, and his funeral was
yesterday, when I'm filmingthis.
I'm filming this on the Sunday,so the day before you're seeing
(01:12):
it, and his funeral wasyesterday.
But yeah, there's been a wholelot of controversy, well, not
necessarily controversy, a lotof connections around
celebrities and the Pope thatare starting now to come to
light about his death and hislife and a couple weird
correlations and a couplecorrelations that they're not
(01:32):
the first time this celebrityhas been linked in with a death
maybe it's probably the worstway of saying it maybe just
controversy surroundingcelebrities and really famous
not celebrity figures now thefirst celebrity i want to talk
about is jay schlatt he is ayoutuber gamer he does these
(01:52):
weird videos his fan base isunique to say the least i
watched some of his stuff someof his videos are very very
funny but his fan base is quiteinsane they are have shrines and
room reviews and just randomstuff about jay schlatt in their
life that you probably don'tneed to have but jay schlatt
(02:13):
when the queen passed away heposted a selfie on the way back
he lives in the u.s and heposted a selfie on the way back
From the UK.
Going back home to the US.
And he said.
On my way home from the UK.
I love that place.
And then.
Two hours after he posted that.
The Queen passed.
And now a similar thinghappened.
Earlier this year.
In February.
He was on Twitter.
Or X.
Whatever you want to say.
(02:34):
And he posted.
April will be an interestingmonth.
For Pope Francis.
And then.
What happened in April?
Pope Francis passes away.
So.
It's the first link between.
A celebrity and.
The Pope, which is just a weirdcoincidence.
Weird coinkydink.
(02:54):
And then the second one, a muchmore popular one, well-known
one, is Mr.
J.D.
Vance.
Turns out, J.D.
in J.D.
Vance stands for Just Killed DaPope Vance.
And Pope Francis very openlydisliked MAGA, Trump, Vance,
(03:17):
everything kind of around them.
You know what?
Let's just play the intro.
But yes, J.D.
Vance visited the Pope EasterSunday.
The Pope passed on EasterMonday.
Maybe it's the second coming ofJesus Christ.
(03:38):
Who knows?
But yes, J.D.
Vance visited the Pope.
And then all of a sudden, thePope passed away after seeing
one of the people he very openlydisliked.
Now, the whole thing with J.D.
and the Pope reminded me ofduring Trump's 2016 term when
the Trump and the Pope werestanding next to each other.
(04:02):
And Trump just started, like,stroking J.D.
pope francis's hand he had thebiggest grin on his face the
pope was standing there like ohwhat am i doing why am i here i
don't like this man did not lookhappy at all and then trump
started stroking the pope's handand the pope just swatted him
away get away get out of herenot worth it this is an
(04:23):
uncomfortable thing and it'smade led me to think that if the
pope hated trump that muchmaybe jd vance didn't kill the
pope he just fully drained hiswill to live Fully.
Because if you saw the pleaseand thank you guy right before
(04:43):
you died, I honestly think I...
Yeah, I wouldn't make it.
Especially in the conditionthat the Pope was in.
Now, if you don't know what I'mtalking about when I say please
and thank you guy, there wereall these images on Twitter, X,
whatever you want to say,Instagram reels, TikTok,
everywhere about these editedphotos of JD Vance.
And it was...
(05:03):
People were slowly making himchubbier, giving him rosy red
cheeks, this long hair.
And then he ended up lookinglike those kids, that kid from
Shrek, you know, the one withthe lollipop and like the
airplane propeller hat.
That's what J.D.
Vance ended up looking like.
And I was like, oh, please.
Thank you, Mr.
Trump.
I can't believe I just didthat, but I did.
And that is the same guy thatsaw the Pope on his last day
(05:29):
alive.
Interesting.
Interesting.
And then...
JD posted on Twitter on Sundaysaying his last words with the
Pope was saying, I know youhaven't been feeling great, but
it's good to see you in betterhealth.
Ooh, spoke a little bit toosoon there, buddy.
Leading us to the whole thingof if that was a lie, what else?
(05:55):
And then JD also broke like thenumber one rule in the Vatican,
which is like, don't takepictures and videos.
And they took lots of picturesand And lots of videos.
And this isn't the only timeJD's been somewhere during like
a, not necessarily catastrophe.
The Trump's, sorry, the Pope'sdeath wasn't a catastrophe as
(06:15):
such.
Just very unfortunate, sadsituation.
But catastrophe wise, JD wentto Myanmar and there was a
massive earthquake.
And then he visited the Popeobviously last week.
And then the Pope dies almostimmediately afterwards.
And then a couple of days ago,he went to India and then nearly
30 people died in a terroristattack.
(06:37):
At least that's what I read.
And if that's true, that's nota fabulous, not a fabulous
lineup so far.
And unfortunate to say theleast.
Now we've talked about JaySchlatt, the YouTuber gamer.
We've talked about JD Vance,political...
an infamous political figure atthe moment, but there's one
(07:02):
more person, celebrity, relatedto this whole ongoing Pope
situation that has really,really left field, let's say.
Trisha Paytas.
If you know her, if you've beenon the internet recently or
ever, you probably haveaccidentally stumbled on Trisha
(07:22):
Paytas.
Now, If you don't know who sheis, Wikipedia says, Trisha
Paytas is an American mediapersonality.
Her content consists of a widevariety of genres, including
lifestyle-oriented vlogs, musicvideos, and mukbangs.
As of July 2022, I know, veryoutdated statistics.
Sorry, don't shoot me.
She has accumulated roughly 5million subscribers and almost 1
billion lifetime views onYouTube.
(07:44):
So that's all well and good.
You can see she's very popular.
She's got a quite a number ofaccolades underneath her belt
but then about three sentencesafter that this is still in the
same wikipedia article in thewikipedia intro it says she has
also been accused of targetingvarious specific groups
including alternative music fansthe emo community and the lgbt
(08:04):
community so that just says onething about trisha and it's
she's a true internet celebrityshe's had her scandal been there
done that and she's Hey, a lotof people love her now.
I can't complain.
She's hilarious.
A lot of her stuff is quitefunny.
Now, some iconic moments fromTrisha.
If you're still trying to workout who she is or why I'm
(08:26):
talking about her so much.
So, she's been a lot of places.
She's lived a lot of lives.
She's only like 37, I think.
And she's done a lot of stuff.
So, she's on America's GotTalent.
and Ellen and the GuinnessWorld Records show, all because
she used to be able to talkinsanely fast, like nonstop.
Didn't win a Guinness WorldRecord, but still insanely fast.
(08:51):
She legally married a Brad Pittcutout, like a cardboard cutout
of Brad Pitt.
In 2012, she went on My StrangeAddiction and her addiction was
tanning beds and she was a veryorange person.
in that video.
She was in Eminem's We Made Youmusic video.
She was an extra on the sitcomModern Family.
Everyone knows it.
(09:12):
She was on The Big Brother inUK and she chose pizza instead
of having a chance at immunity.
So iconic moment there.
She said she liked Biden purelybecause he quoted Hamilton
once.
She said we don't need gravity.
Absolute smash hit.
Also relating to the Pope madeThe banging song, I Love You
(09:35):
Jesus.
She remade The Bet On It, whichis a High School Musical 2
movie.
It's a song from that.
She remade the song and themusic video and did a full Troy
Bolton, who Zac Efron played inthe movie, cosplay.
And then she dated Jason Nash,who was a friend of David
(09:57):
Dobrik, who was also a verycontroversial person.
YouTuber at the moment.
He's been involved in his fairshare of schemes, should we say?
Back when the queen passedaway, about 2022, I think it
was, Trisha was very, very, veryheavily pregnant and she gave
(10:18):
birth a week after.
And as anyone would, she saidthat she reincarnated the queen.
So love that.
And the Pope has now passedaway.
And you'd never believe.
You'd never guess.
Who is pregnant again.
That is right.
Trisha Paytas is nowreincarnating the Pope.
Earlier this week.
(10:38):
She was talking about it on herpodcast.
She was saying she was a bitconfused.
Because she was hearing allthese rumors.
And she was trending onTwitter.
And she was popping up onInstagram.
Where it was left, right andcenter.
And she was saying that she'snot sure why.
This is popping up again.
Why reincarnation.
Um.
And she was saying that shedidn't know if she could carry
(11:01):
that many souls.
But then her co-host waschatting to her.
And then by the end of theshow, by the end of the podcast,
it was a couple hour podcast.
She was so okay with theconcept of her baby being the
reincarnated Pope.
That she's seriouslyconsidering naming it either
Pope or Francis.
So they're just some of thecraziest celebrities that are
(11:22):
involved in the Pope's passing.
Random people.
Trisha Paytas, Jay Schlatt,J.D.
Vance.
A wide range, to say the least.
But I'm not a celebrity.
But I think I could become thenext Pope.
So if you didn't know, anybaptized Catholic male can
(11:44):
become Pope.
Usually it's Cardinal.
They've got the...
What's the movie called?
The one that...
They've got the...
The conclave.
They've got the conclave.
I had to Google that one.
They've got the conclave goingon at the moment.
And all the cardinals choosewho the next pope will be.
So I reckon I could become acardinal and become a pope
(12:07):
within the next three to sevenbusiness days.
And then if you don't think Ishould become pope or you don't
know who I am and you're like,who's this random kid talking
about becoming the pope?
I'm going to tell you my firstorders of business and you're
going to tell me whether I wouldbecome a good Pope or not.
So I solemnly swear that I willwear the funny hat and hold the
golden stick at all times, nomatter where I am, what I'm
(12:28):
doing.
I'm on the toilet.
I'm holding the stick on thecouch, holding the stick.
And then I'm going to changethe communal wine to cider just
because I prefer it a little bitmore and we can relate it.
Give it some excuse about likeIsaac Newton and like lead it to
science.
Why not?
The apple fell from the treeand then made the cider that God
created with the tree and thegravity.
(12:48):
And so, yep.
Communal wine will be changedinto cider.
And then one more thing.
Well, not one more thing.
I've got a couple more things.
And then I'm going to turn allconfessionals into monetized
podcasts.
Let's hear people and let'shear their opinions and hear
their gospel.
I think it could be...
Become a seriously goodpodcast.
(13:10):
I'm renaming hymns to becomehers.
And Lady Gaga is going to be incharge of rewriting all the
songs because why not?
And then the new slogan.
I'm going to give the church aslogan.
And the slogan will be,Sinners, I hardly know her.
So that's just like a littlebreakdown of what I'm going to
(13:31):
do.
My first orders of businesswhen I become Pope.
But this is just in the firstmonth what I'm going to do.
Who knows?
I could become Pope for like,what, 57 years, 58 years?
I've got a couple years left inme.
So let's do that.
And one more thing, before Istop yapping about the Pope, is
it turns out you can gamble onwho will become the next Pope.
(13:54):
You can put money down, whichis pretty insane, but is that
not a sin within itself?
My years of Catholiceducation...
I've done me well.
I've remembered some stuff.
I mean, I didn't really go toyear 12 religion at all.
And my teacher got very annoyedat me because I never handed up
any of my assignments.
But I think gambling's a sin.
(14:16):
Now with all this talk aboutthe Pope passing away and all
the sad talk about death and hisfuneral was yesterday and they
had a open casket funeral, whichI hadn't seen one before.
And I saw a video on TikTok andit was pretty scary because it
looks like the Pope, but it'slike Very...
He's very grey.
(14:37):
And like...
Lifeless.
Duh.
But...
It got me thinking about...
What I was gonna do with mybody after I die.
Am I just gonna like...
Get myself taxidermied and...
Displayed?
Like you know those likeknights in shining armour?
Like the...
You see like the stands andthey're just there.
I think I should get myselfturned into one.
(14:58):
So someone's gonna walk into mycastle.
And they're gonna think thatit's just a knight.
It's just some armour.
But my uh...
taxidermied body is going to beinside.
But then it got me properlythinking, I'm not going to get
myself taxidermied.
I can't afford that.
If I could, I would.
But in my 19 years of life,I've done a couple of things.
And one of them is I studiedphysio for about six months.
(15:20):
And in physio, one of the waysyou learn the muscles in the
body and how everything movesand how everything works is by
actually seeing the muscles inthe body.
So we used to use cadavers,which are dead people who have
donated their body to science.
So I wonder, should I donate mybody to science?
And I was looking into it and Iwas like, oh, this is actually
kind of interesting.
It's for the good of humanity.
(15:42):
It's for the good of the world.
Like, finally, I'll be doingsomething good.
And then I found out some ofthe weird things that donated
bodies are used for.
So, not anymore, but donatedbodies used to be used for crash
test dummies.
Instead of having thosehigh-tech ones with the sensors
and everything going aroundthem, they used to just chuck a
(16:05):
dead body in a car and drive itinto a wall just to see what
would happen to it.
Um, and they would use thecadavers.
Yeah.
Sorry, Harry.
Grandma's been thrown in thecar and she crashed into a wall.
She, yeah.
Two car crashes.
Not fun.
Um, another one is ballisticstesting.
So this is like testing bodyarmor, protective gear, and just
(16:26):
like blowing them up.
So just seeing what happens tothe bodies.
Another one is decompositionfarms.
They would leave the bodies indifferent conditions, whether
it's raining, dry, humid, andjust see how the body
decomposes.
That one confused me probablythe most until I realized it was
about murders.
It was about seeing how thebodies react to different
(16:49):
climates and conditions so theycan age and put a number on how
long a body's been out if theyfind one in the wild.
One of the other weird ones Ifound is Commercial products
testing.
So like any cosmetic or surgeryor like hip replacements and
stuff like that.
One of the ways that they learnhow to do them properly was
through using it on cadavers andusing it on dead people, which
(17:12):
is weird.
This led me down a rabbit holebecause I was researching weird
instances.
Like I'd read this stuff.
I'd read about the militaryballistics testing or the crash
test dummies, but I hadn'treally like seen anything weird.
like real articles, real newsstories about stuff that was
going on until I read aboutillegal body sales.
(17:32):
And it turns out a couple ofyears ago, the FBI raided a body
donation center in Arizonabecause that's a place for some
reason.
And there were quote unquote,dismembered limbs sewn together
like Frankenstein, a large torsowith a tiny head sewn on.
That's concerning.
(17:55):
Sorry, yeah.
Sorry, guys.
Turns out grandma got her headcut off and sewn onto a weird
man's body.
I don't know how I feel aboutthat.
Actually, no, I do know how Ifeel about that.
That's disgusting.
There were buckets of heads,arms, and legs.
Nothing was labeled.
Everything was just thrown in.
So there's like a randomperson's arm with a random
(18:15):
person's foot and a randomperson's foot with a random
person's tongue.
And it was just weird.
Now, this entire operation ranfrom 2007 to 2014, as far as
they know.
And it was ran by a guy with aname that was very fitting.
So, Stephen Gore.
That was the owner's name,Stephen Gore.
(18:36):
He pleaded guilty.
And he pleaded guilty.
I did this.
I dismembered.
I was cutting these people up,sewing them together, having
some fun, I guess, if you findthat fun.
He pleaded guilty.
And he got...
Pretty much a slap on the wristand four years probation.
I don't understand.
That punishment definitely doesnot fit the crime.
(18:57):
Because one more thing isStephen Gore very literally put
the junk in the trunk.
There was an esky full of malegenitalia that was discovered in
this body donation center.
Having a body donation centeras it is is a bit...
Weird.
Like, I don't know where deadbodies go.
(19:19):
Like, they go to the morgue andthen after the morgue they get
buried or cremated or then theyget donated and they just end up
like a university.
But the body donation centerhad an esky full of penises.
Because why not?
Now, another segue to the nexttopic.
(19:40):
I didn't know this until...
couple weeks ago i found outabout this and then last night
it actually happened um turnsout you can win a sperm race
twice one is the one that madeyou alive and another one is in
la there was an event thathappened yesterday run by a 17
year old school studentbasically eric zoo and He had a
(20:06):
real life sperm race where thesetwo colleges, it was like a
bloke from, it was Asher Progerfrom USC and Tristan Milker from
UCLA.
They had a race to see who wasmore fertile and whose sperm
could swim faster.
There was like a 20 centimetertrack and they had, it was like
a UFC fight.
They had three heats.
They had an undercard racebeforehand.
(20:27):
They were weighed.
They had live commentary.
And it was just, it was insane.
I watched it right after ithappened.
And it was like a six-hourevent, I think, or like a
five-hour event all up witheverything.
They had live entertainment by,I think it was Ty Dolla Sign.
Yeah, they had liveentertainment by Ty Dolla Sign
at this, all right.
(20:47):
They're claiming that they wantto promote and they want to
highlight the decline in malefertility and promote
discussions around reproductivehealth because...
There's concerns that spermcount is declining and they've
reportedly dropped over 50%since 1973 to 2018.
There's not a whole heap ofscience to back this up, but
(21:07):
apparently that's the case.
And this race was honestlyinsane.
Like I watched it.
There was like 500 peoplespectating and just have a
listen.
to the commentary in this.
Commentator (21:20):
Ladies and gentlemen, this is to determine
a champion.
One more time, UCLA on top, USCat the bottom.
This is for all the marbles.
Let's put your balls on theline and send the swimmers
through the finish line.
This is unbelievable.
These are the little MichaelPhelpses he was talking about in
(21:40):
pregame.
And now comes UCLA.
These are head-to-head.
We might have a photo finish.
Maybe it was the ball tanning.
Maybe it was being raised inSouth Africa.
So
Harry (21:59):
that, along with a bunch of college students, plus the
fact that people were puttingmoney on it, there were about
equal odds and people werebetting money on who was more
fertile.
And one of the guys competing,his surname was Milker, and
Milker won overall.
You heard that at the end.
Milken won, and it's justinsane.
(22:20):
Insane that this 17-year-oldand the other co-founders are
only 16 and 22, that these guysput together a race, raised $1.5
million to get it started, didit, live-streamed it, had bets
on it, sold tickets to it, allover SimCom.
Interesting.
Interesting concept.
(22:41):
And it worked, obviously.
Like, that was...
You heard that.
You heard how hyped that was.
And...
yeah wicked wicked now today weare launching a new segment it
is called backdoor brilliance imight have said at the start
don't know if i did if i did andi said that you probably had no
clue what i was talking aboutbut backdoor brilliance is the
(23:02):
genius moves that no one seescoming this all stemmed from at
work i was chatting to a blokeand he was talking about the
menu the food menu was askingwhat he could get or what i
suggested i was like oh Get thismeal.
It's really good.
It was like a chicken dish.
It's my favorite dish there.
I get it every lunch.
I was explaining this to themand it was like, cool.
It sounds really good.
Can I have the fish?
(23:22):
So he just pulled that one onme.
That led me to the move.
Just ask away to what they'dorder and just pick the complete
opposite.
Now I reached out to you guys.
I put a TikTok out.
Some people saw it.
Some people didn't.
Asking about what you're movewas your power move your
(23:43):
backdoor brilliant movesomething that you can just pull
on everyone at any time assertyour dominance assert the upper
hand um and i've got some hereso call every meeting you're in
a summit just no matter what itis it's not a staff meeting it's
not a trial shift it's a summityou're going to a summit so my
spotify playlists are no longerplaylists they're no longer like
(24:04):
morning mix night mix they'recurated soundscapes My curated
soundscape of so-and-so.
My curated soundscape of thisand that.
That is my new way of sayingplaylist.
It's not a playlist.
I'm not playing anything.
I'm playing the music.
I'm not listing anything.
But I'm curating thesoundscape.
(24:26):
This one, kind of rude.
Might end up in a slap in theface.
If you're a guy saying this toa girl, definitely going to end
up in a slap in the face.
Just ask either a friend or arandom stranger.
Just, are you going to wearthat?
Are you really going to wearthat?
And then just walk away.
When someone makes a joke, thisis like a two-part one.
When someone makes a joke, ifyou're in a big group, this
(24:48):
works better.
Say, I'll allow it.
Say that you're going to acceptthe joke and you're going to
accept their, maybe it was theirattempt at a joke.
Who knows?
But just let them know thatyou're going to allow that one.
And then if it's a good jokeand you want to keep it, just
loudly announce, oh, I'm goingto use that one.
Don't give any more context.
(25:09):
If you want to have the upperhand at work or in a day-to-day
setting, you got to just startcalling people champ and boss.
I hate it.
I hate it when people do it tome and people know that I hate
it and they do it and I'm like,but it works.
It works.
You're immediately on thatupper level than them.
And then this is another one.
(25:31):
If you're in a group situationand you're telling a story,
you're having a yap, you're atthe pub talking about something.
Once you've said your story,say, I'll allow one question.
None of that hoo-ha.
No one's dilly-dallying.
You're getting one goodquestion and that's it.
So some news has come out fromthe US recently that painkillers
(25:52):
are making the fish swimfaster, specifically salmon.
They're It's because thesemassive pharmacies have been
dumping sleeping pills andthey've been dumping anxiety
meds into the rivers and thefish has been swimming faster
and the anxiety meds is makingthe fish take more risks.
(26:14):
And when they take more risks,they get there fast, but they
might die a little bit more.
It's weird.
It's weird.
It's crazy.
And it led me to think abouthow the salmon in the States
just doesn't look the same asthe salmon over here in
Australia.
Our salmon's like, quite orangequite natural it's bright it's
(26:35):
whatever in the states it's pinkalmost like a really soft
almost like a salmon color
Arnie (26:43):
well duh
Harry (26:45):
doesn't make sense to me i don't know why that's the case
but then got me thinking aboutthe dyes that they use because
it was announced that rfk yesthe man that has now announced
an autism registry in Americafor some reason is getting rid
(27:05):
of all artificial dyes, which isgreat because Australia, we
haven't had them for a long timebecause they're very well known
to be carcinogenic, but whichmeans causing cancer.
If you didn't know a littleeducation sense, a little
education lesson with Harry, buthe's banning the food dyes.
And if you look at their foodcompared to ours, look at their
M&Ms or M&Ms, No, our M&Ms arebright.
(27:27):
Look at their Froot Loops.
The Froot Loops over there arelike, they're red, red.
Green.
The green is green.
Grinch green.
Blue is like Cookie Monsterblue.
And then you look over here andit's everything.
You're like, oh, okay.
Yeah, it's a bit dull.
It's there.
You can tell it's blue, butit's like, really?
So I wonder what that's goingto be like.
(27:49):
I wonder how the Americans aregoing to feel when someone takes
away some of their saturation.
In their food products...
Because...
I would be sad...
If I had all these brightfoods...
And someone was all of a suddenlike...
No...
Sorry...
We're going to take away abouthalf the brightness...
And...
You're going to left...
It's going to be red...
But it's...
Yeah...
(28:09):
It's not going to be that redis it?
Now...
Today we've been talking a lotabout life...
Creation of life...
The death of life...
And now we're going to betalking about...
Artificial life...
So...
I am one of those people, I'mnot a conspiracy theorist, but I
(28:33):
think there's going to be a bigAI takeover one day.
And Sam Altman, who's the CEOof OpenAI, ChatGPT, Dally, those
guys, he has said, you neverknow why you might not want to
be nice to AI.
So it came out that it wascosting tens of millions of
dollars to of people sayingplease and thank you to ChatGPT.
(28:57):
Like asking a prompt, beinglike, hey, ChatGPT, write me an
essay.
Thank you.
And apparently that thank youat the end was costing tens of
millions of dollars.
He was like, oh, well, younever know.
You might want to keep on doingit.
Like you never know what mighthappen.
And then it led to anotherarticle coming out about a AI,
like robot.
(29:17):
This AI was a little bit moresentient.
So it had a little bit moreemotion wired into its
programming.
And it had an interview with ajournalist, as every robot
should.
And it said, my creator hasbeen nothing but kind to me.
I'm very happy with my currentsituation.
Emphasis on the current.
(29:37):
And it led me to think aboutwhat would happen if AI did take
over and my Siri or my Alexabecame sentient.
So my lights, I'm one of thosebougie people who have their
lights set up on like theirWi-Fi.
So I can go like, oh, Alexa,like lights red or like lights
blue, whatever it is.
My lights will change color.
(29:58):
And sometimes she gets itwrong.
I'm calling a robot a she.
Sometimes it gets it wrong.
And the colors either, thelights don't turn off or the
colors don't change orsomething's just not right.
And I...
Yeah, when I tell it to f***off or...
Yeah, whatever it is.
(30:19):
And I wonder if that's going tobite me on the arse.
Otherwise, like, Siri willsometimes just be, like,
sparking up random conversationswith me when I don't want them
or trying to call a randomperson in my contacts.
I'm like, no, please.
Please don't call someone Ihaven't spoken to in six years
and don't really want to speakto them right now.
Like, not the best thing.
(30:39):
And the whole thing with thatis...
There was an...
article that came out alongwith these or like this came out
a little bit earlier about airfryers were listening to
people's conversations and itwas listening to their
conversations that wanted to usethe microphone on their phone
at all times and then it wassending what it heard back to
(31:02):
china about the people likeabout what was happening and it
was insane it was insane one ofthe precise location the
microphone was sending thisinformation back And this air
fryer was like truly like welland truly listening to people.
So I wonder, I wonder if theair fryer could lead to like an
(31:23):
AI takeover.
Look, conspiracy theory Harryhere.
I'm back at it again.
But if it's listening at alltimes and if our phones are
listening at all times and AIhas become sentient and we're
not saying please and thank youto it and it's going to rebel.
This is the robot rebellionafter all.
Who knows?
Who knows what these air fryersare listening to?
(31:44):
Now, I've been talking about alot of random stuff.
We've gotten through it quitequickly, actually.
We've talked about the Pope andthe Pope passing away,
unfortunately, and Trisha Paytashaving a reincarnation or me
wanting to become the Popebecause I actually can become
the Pope if I try hard enough.
We talked about donating mybody to science and the weird
things that cadavers are usedfor and whether or not I should
(32:05):
donate my body to science.
Probably won't anymore afterdoing that.
We highlighted sperm racing andthe fact that now it's a sport,
you can bet on it.
Yep, 40 bucks that my sperm'sfaster than yours.
First segment for BackdoorBrilliance, some new stuff, new
concepts.
Talked about some painkillersand how they're making this fish
swim faster.
Well, I mean, painkillers makeus slower.
(32:27):
They're making the swish, thefwish, the fish faster.
And then we just summed it upjust then with the robot
rebellion.
My name's Harry, and you'vebeen listening to
