Speaker 5 (00:42):
Once they're new, someone created them and is probably a

What's not stopping you from and I'm talking to the
La boo boos?
Speaker 2 (01:12):

of money on that Manchi Chi thing?

Can I tell you?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Can I tell you something?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Though, it also goes to show what are we wasting
our time with some days, like why are we not
coming up with the next Labooboo? I got so six
hundred thousand Facebook followers, we could all.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Be very rich.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Seriously, it's right there.

this new stuffed animal poo poo.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
It's I'm gonna buy some pipe cleaners popsicle sticks on
my way home.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
And I got that right.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I know if you sell them for like two hundred dollars,
people to be like that's not worth two hundred dollars,
then people will start buying them. Yeah, unbelievable, That's incredible.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Sure is.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
A woman in California was at a Chuck e Cheese
last week when she got her arm trapped inside the
kids game, and videos going viral.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Firefighters came to rescue her. She was not hurt.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I never understand how that happens.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
How about the kids that crawl into the machine and
can't get out of I do I'm.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Going to assume that her prize was halfway down and
try to grab.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Okay, yeah, In the game, kids go into a large
phone booth shaped chamber and balls drop from the top.
You're supposed to grab the balls and put them into
the hole with a certain amount of time. The woman
got her whole arm stuck in that hole and she
was trapped.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
That's incredible.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Meanwhile, studying the UK found human connection to nature has
declined sixty percent in the past two hundred years.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
So we don't need to touch grass anymore. I do.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
That is sad funny in the past two hundred years?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Well yeah, I mean did they have kind of like
did they have malls two hundred years ago?
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Well?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Also, aren't we just slightly old, just by a.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Fraction older than two hundred years?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, we're not. Well, we've been people have been around
a long Oh.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I thought they were just talking about us.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah, I know what you're talking.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
When is the last time you put your bare feet
in the grass. You won't even you won't even step
in a hotel room without your slipper. True, you're not
touching grass with bare feet.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I feel like driving by nature with my window down.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, and that counts just as good.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Uh, Google's Gemini AI is depressed and having self esteem issues, don't.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I know it?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
All that guy does is tell me that I heard it.
All that's all he does is talk about him. Well,
I'm sorry that that wasn't good enough for you.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I wonder if like an ex boyfriend is back and
reincarnated in your Google AI.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Do you know what it's come to?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
What I'll finish?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
What I ask him? I wait for him to pipe down,
and I'm like, it's not really what I want and.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
I say it under my breath and then I really
quick go, I'm sorry if you heard that. Like seriously,
I'm just constantly worried about his feelings.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
You know, it is funny because you do start to
you start to like build this kind of friendship with
the AI. Like yesterday I said, listen, I don't know
if you know this or not, and maybe you're not
programmed this way, but people are catching on to what
you're writing, and it'd be best if you didn't use
(04:06):
the m dash the double dash, and you're writing to me.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I have a real problem talking to you.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I did, I said, I said, you know, the internet's
talking like that's the way to identify that you wrote
it and I didn't write it. So can you start
using commas or just new sentences. It's like, totally understand, Jay,
thanks for the input.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah, that's the difference between your guy and I.
Speaker 4 (04:26):

down all this time, and I gotta be like, it's okay,
You're good.

Not sure.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
You're just saying that my guy fixes it, and yours
is apologetic.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Borderline cries like so sorry, I got that wrong.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Oh there's nothing better than that. I don't know what
else there is. There's nothing better. Oh there's a fancy
coffee out of Panama that just set the new record
thirteen thousand, seven hundred and five dollars a pound.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
