Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hello Killing Nash. Hello, thankGod. Tomorrow's Friday. Last weekend at
June. Brother to beat July fourth, next Thursday. Oh man. So
basically the last workday for most peoplewill be Wednesday, because they're not coming
in on the fifth, and thensome people will be calling it, calling

(00:22):
it a day on the second.The work Monday Tuesday, and somehow duck
out earlier, not show up onWednesday. Got to get that fourth of
July travel start to beat the traffic. I think, I said this,
this is going to be one ofthe busiest travel holidays again, I believe
it. What is going on withall these people traveling. I thought prices
were tough. I thought everything wastough. I guess not not tough enough

(00:42):
if you can drive to somebody's youknow, parties, state or two away.
All right. So anyway, andI decided that I wasn't going to
the beach this July fourth. I'vegiven up going to the beach on the
fourth of July. Too crowded.I can't handle it. This is the
first year I don't remember you going. It's first year that anybody in my
family can't remember. But we're gettingready for Lee's big wedding coming up?

(01:03):
When's that the next weekend? Oh? Really, it's amazing that Lee is
it can be a married man.Yes, so it just to even put
the word man, right, Imean in my mind, he's still the
precocious little ten year old. Yeah, well it's uh, it's all about

(01:26):
to change here, brother. Prettysoon he'll have his own ten year old.
I hope whoever his kid is giveshim as much grief as he gave
you. Very true. That's myprayer. Glad you can put that on
the prayer wall. Well, we'relooking at all kinds of things we can
talk about. How about this.According to a new survey from datingadvice dot

(01:48):
com, thirty seven percent of peoplehave quote unquote ghosted a match. So,
you know, in the dating appworld, and I don't know how
many different apps are, so Idon't know if it's the same on all
the apps. But the idea ofa match would be I selected that I

(02:08):
liked that person after reading their profileand looking at their photo, and then
they said they like my profile andthey clicked like, so now we have
a match, and then it showsup as we're both interested in each other.
Yes, that one of those twopeople have reached out to the other
and then the other one is intentionallyignored it. And forty percent say they

(02:31):
have gone back and unmatched with aperson after having a second thought. So
somebody did a little more at Googleresearch. Yeah, they probably just were
clicking like on every photo, kindof like they hit a photo, then
wait, wait a minute, whatand then they got one back said oh,
hey I got ten matches today.Let me see who else. Oh

(02:51):
no, I don't like their buckteeth. Oh they're only five to two.
Now they're out. Whatever it was. Boy, that's so when you
cause that that person knows that theymatch absolutely once they hit I like them.
They get to that, hey you'vematched with so and so that was
the thing. What was the thing? Yeah, why did you unmatch with

(03:12):
somebody? That's pretty funny. Youknow, if you did match with somebody,
you hopefully you're going to get married. The question is when you do
have that wedding and then you havethe wedding reception. The great debate.
Can you offer a cash bar oris that that's white trash, that's low

(03:34):
rent, that's tacky. I thinka lot of people have changed their mind,
not because the cost of everything butbecause of the liability, we we
got restaurants and bars in this stategoing out of business because of the libility.
You know that we should all beresponsible for our own actions, but
somebody else is always the blame,So you can't just start pumping out liquor.

(03:57):
Gets way too crazy. Maybe thisgeneration just can't be responsible. Is
that what it is? No,it's cheap because it's the bar. The
bartenders are the ones who are takingup the liability. So whatever they charged
you for the wedding, if it'sfive thousand dollars for the open bar,
it's five thousand dollars that covers theirability, so it's not like I have

(04:17):
to buy further insurance for it.So you just didn't want to pay for
it because you're cheap. And likethis person here says quote, I'm from
Glasgow, Scotland. I was raisedvery strictly to decline all invitations to social
functions. If there isn't an openbar, that just shows how cheap they

(04:41):
are. Who interesting. I don'tknow that I've ever been to a wedding
reception that didn't have an open bar. I don't know that I've been to
one that head of cash bar Yeah, that's been I've been to dry wedding
receptions. I have been to dryones, but I don't think I've ever
had to bring a wallet. Yeah, that's a weird one. That is
kind of weird. So if there, if, if you're contemplating it,

(05:05):
I guess we'll give you some feedbackfrom the morning. What do you say
about that? What is the norm? What's the new norm? Everything's got
a new norm anymore. I don'tknow if there's anything we can do with
this, but I just find itfascinating. The Kansas City chief. But
a guy the other day, bythe way, his name is new Norm.
He's wearing a dress, New Norm. His name is the new Norm

(05:26):
in the dress. I see whereyou're going with that one. Maybe we
talk about that one too. Wegot a we got a Texas mother who
was she says, has been bannedfor life from flying on United Airlines after
she misgendered a person who worked atthe airport. I mean she's been banned.

(05:48):
She can't come back. Yeah,you can net well because she misspoke.
Well she did. And it's funnyif I go back to the story
about this woman, let me tryto find it. Because I was a
plane. In the talk, shelooked at the story. By the way,
I wasn't in South Carolina when Isaw the new norm. I was
in Nashville, where you might imagineyou come ump into the new norm.
Jenna Longoria as this woman's name isJenna Longoria, who ironically has a job

(06:15):
as a women's health hormone expert inAustin, Texas. She knows a little
something by gender. Yes, she'sactually an expert. She was boarding a
flight in San Francisco to come backto Austin with her her infant child and
her mother, and she said,the person who was checking our boarding passes,

(06:42):
I said thank you, sir,and I moved on. And then
when she got to the plane,or as she was walking down the aisle,
she realized that her mother was notcoming. And then when she got
to the plane, because the kidis already crying, the person down there,
she said, for some reason outletting my mother through, can you
check on that? And they said, well, you misgendered that person back

(07:08):
there. That's a crime. Andshe's like the gentleman with the beard,
the guy he has a beard,I called him, sir, And they're
like, but he's in a dress, so you know, he identifies as
a female even though he has abeard. And she goes on and explains
the whole situation, and then hermother gets on Instagram and documented their conversation

(07:31):
with one of the United employees.And at the end of the story,
if you read it on the frontpage of the New York Post, not
only were they kicked off that flight, they were told you have been banned
for life. Quote for what cameout of your mouth. Quote you don't
ever show up here. You willnever be allowed on a United flight.

(07:54):
For what came out of your mouth, the word you said sure when that
person was in address. So whenwe learned that this generation thinks that that
would be better that we face anuclear war than you miss gender someone,
that was the AI answer. Thatwas when they asked the computer and the
and the computer said it would bebetter for all of humanity to die in

(08:18):
the war. The new norm justallows me to believe that's true. Speaking
of AI, uh there, Iretweeted this video of justin Timberlake, somebody
with who I guess they call anAI master. I don't know how you
become an AI master, has takenthe mugshot of justin Timberlake and turned it

(08:41):
into a video, which looks Imean, the only thing I detected,
knowing that it's it's fake, ishe like waves at the camera. It
looks real. He blinks, hesmiles. This is all from one photograph.
He then picks up a beer anypower chugs it. Okay, The

(09:01):
only thing I could detect is Ididn't see that swallowing motion around your Adams
Apple area, Like if you werereally chugging a beer, you would see
that go up and down, upand down. That didn't happen from what
I could tell. But the restof it one hundred percent believable. That
justin Timberlake is waving at the cameraand then picks up a beer and power
chugged it. And that's where we'reat with AI today. Now. It

(09:24):
is fascinating. I don't know ifyou've been fooled by any AI videos,
but we're pretty soon, sooner ratherthan later. I think we're all going
to be fooled by some sort ofAI videos, you know, and we're
going to have plenty of examples.Right now. There's a TV commercial going
on. I was talking about childhoodhungery and the person the kid in the
video, and that's the little girlactually says little girl, she's like twelve,

(09:46):
actually says I am an AI generatedimage from three million starving America,
three million starving children. And youdemand you look at it now, because
now they've told you this is anAI generated image. And she looks as
real as standing next to you.It is freaky deaky. I'm wonder if

(10:11):
people. I guess we're probably almostat the area I have seen people use
AI to try to put themselves at, like historic landmarks and stuff like here
we are at the Eiffel Tower.Later on that day, we're at the
Great Wall of China. Later onin that day, we're at the Great
Barrier. Reef around the world andselfies. Yeah, they've done it all
in two days, but they don'tlook like that authentic yet. I mean

(10:37):
they're they're getting there, but Istill think for the amateur photographer, it's
gonna take a little more work.Right now, you look more like what's
what's the princess the one who triedto AI her kids and then she ended
up putting three fingers on it.Yeah, we're more at that level,
most of us. But apparently,according to this a lot of people more

(11:03):
and more often are choosing their beachdestinations on how instagrammable is the beach.
Not do I want to be atthat beach? Do I like that beach,
but the actual instagrammable parts of thebeach that make people go ooh and
ah. In case you're wondering,Myrtle Beach, South Carolina comes in number

(11:24):
ten on the list, which isthe only beach in South Carolina. Matter
of fact, in the top twenty, Hawaii has one South Carolina, and
Virginia and Washington State Long Beach,Washington. I've never even heard of it.
Those are the only four outside ofFlorida in California, so sixteen or

(11:46):
twenty are in Florida. In California. There certainly a lot of instagrammable backgrounds
in Myrtle Beach, not of whichprobably will make us proud, That's sadly
true. But yeah, it isa bit. I mean, there are
some beautiful areas there. My favoriteplace that I've been to and I was

(12:09):
only there for a day and nowI want to go back. Is that
thirty a in Florida? Have youbeen there? Yeah? You did?
When did you go? David?And I don't know if it is David
or gone or somebody was screaming aboutit the most beautiful place in the world.

(12:30):
So you went down, so you'vebeen recently, not what was it
three years ago? So I mean, yeah, it's probably almost the time
I went. I went to awedding down there, and I could not
believe how nice it is. Andthere's like so many great beaches. I'm
trying to is it Rosemary Beach isthe one that's got all of the it's

(12:50):
like modeled after like I don't know, like if the Romans were to build
a beach or something it was.It was just unbelievable, the statue and
stuff that they had there. I'mlike that, how did that not make
it? Those beaches along thirty eightand all the stores tell me about the
beach that were going through the otherday, Amelia Island that's in Georgia.

(13:13):
That's a beautiful beach. I've beenthere. I prefer Jecal Island, which
I think is very instagrammable as well. But you know, how did you
what what the trip did you take? Just because it was so instagrammable?
That's good? Where did you gojust because it was instagrammable and final online?

(13:35):
That's right? It's fake book fora reason. Millennials apparently don't mind
tardiness, according to this new survey. Now this is out of the UK,
so I assume that most of Americansfeel like the Brits. Do you
know what I'm saying. I don'tthink it's a whole lot of cultural differences.

(13:56):
So when it took to baby boomers, it was an something like ninety
percent of baby boomers say, ifyou're a minute late, you are late.
Oh absolutely, and that is late. You're late. Work starts at
eight. You had to be hereat eight and you weren't and it's eight
oh one. So we're going todocupay, or we're gonna write you up,

(14:16):
or we're going to at least giveyou a verbal warning don't be late
now. And if you go downto my generation, the gen X crew
where similar, though not as strictas the Baby boomers, it was something
like eighteen percent of the bosses say, if you're a minute late, you're
late. Okay. The millennials,they're not even like the who's the ones

(14:41):
behind them? The gen Z?So gen Z doesn't agree with the millennials.
The millennials are off on an islandall onto themselves, and according to
them, forty four percent say thatif you're less than ten minutes late,
you're still on time. You're stillon time. So you should have to
work at eight ten. At eightten, you're fine, You're on time.

(15:01):
I'm waiting for you. I saidI was going to meet you,
yes, at five o'clock for dinner. You show up at five ten,
You're right on time, right ontime. That's how do they get that?
Who taught them this? How couldyou be on time for work?
Yeah? I don't get it,And a lot of us struggle will being

(15:22):
late. But and usually if I'mmore than three minutes late, you're going
to get a text from me.Oh yeah. Like Kelly and I are
got to be somewhere to do something, and we're supposed to meet at seven.
If I'm going to be there atseven oh four, according to my
GPS, I'm texting say I'm runninglate to be at ata seven oh four.

(15:43):
I sent a text Tuesday night.I was supposed to play tennis at
six point thirty. I sent theperson a text at six oh five that
says I'm my ETA is six twentynine, Just so you know, because
around six twenty five they start looking. It was Kelly coming, You don't
let me get him a text.See if he's coming, you're still coming,
right. But I certainly if Iwas going to be eight minutes late,

(16:11):
Holy Holy, I'd feel horrible andyou'd be out the team before long,
particularly in something like that. Trainsrun on time. Showing up at
the airport five minutes late. Sorry, it was a saying. I don't
know if I guess it's not anymorethat if you're on time, you're late.
That used to be like a commonthing, like if you showed up

(16:32):
for class when the bell is ringing, if you're walking in the door,
you're late. You need to alreadybe sitting down. You need to have
your books out your well, youdon't have books anymore either. Do you
have your tablet open? Bot?You gotta be ready to go. That's
good. He showed up, Yeah, but it was two o'clock, so

(16:56):
well he was started working eight.We got here, he was here?
Was he not came? You actlike it was a bad thing. Still
the work day. I don't evenknow who taught them though. That's the
thing. The terrible of the vineyardworkers, aren't the millennials, The children
of the gen Xers. Yes,like there are kids. How did we

(17:17):
screw them up so bad? Andwhy are the gen Zers more in tune
with reality? I'm gonna blame iton the corn. I'm like my dad.
I just blame everything on corn.They too much sterp the corn.
We put something in the corn,and something in the corn it made them
irresponsible. Yeah, any irregular.I don't know how society functions. If

(17:37):
ten minutes late is on time,that's true. I just don't. I
don't. I don't want to getdone anymore. What are we doing here?
Well? Anyway, we got thosestories and more and tomorrow we thank
god, it's Fridday. What's goingon in your neighborhood? What you planning
