Speaker 1 (00:00):
This week on the show, rolling solo again. But it's
all good. I'm going to take a look at some
really really catchy video of a local restaurant and get
some thoughts on that, as well as take a look
at yet again AI and how it affects me and
how it could potentially affect YouTube. Yeah, stay tuned. Hey,
(00:39):
what is happening to everybody? I am at PROD. This
is everyday people doing every day shit on whatever podcast
app you enjoy, as well as streaming live right here
on YouTube. Thank you all for being here. I am
unbelievable as all ways, sitting here doing what I do
as best I can and just rolling along this week.
(01:02):
There's no guests this week. There is no Phoebe Pruitt.
It's just me on this here, Mike, and I'm okay
with that because the show still goes on. Yeah, now,
it's all good. I'd rather have conversations over here with her,
but you know she's not here, so let's do this thing.
(01:25):
Thank y'all for being here. I see someone that's popped
into the live chat. Let me see my chat here
on YouTube. Yeah, Cenda fractal, She says, all systems go.
Good to see you. Thanks for being here, Cinda Fractal
really do appreciate you. Uh yeah, this show if you
haven't checked this out before. I like to get on
these mics and just talk about regular, everyday stuff, not
(01:48):
all about getting into the celebrity gossips and stuff like that.
I want to try to talk about things that everyday
people can relate to, you know, just getting up, going
to work, paying bills, trying to pay bills, trying to
find jobs, all of that stuff that regular people deal with.
That's what I want to talk about, as well as
(02:09):
every now and then, if I have some insight on
some things that I've experienced, I'd like to share it.
And now, granted, most of the time I share stuff
inside of the Patreon community, but every now and then
I'll take the stuff out of there and share it
with all of you that are watching live. So let's
go ahead and jump right into it. I see Sender
(02:30):
Fractal has mentioned here in the live chat car accidents
that are not our fault. Well, what is she talking about?
So last week I was in a car accident. So
for those who don't know, yes, I'm a freelancer. I
(02:50):
spend all day every day trying to find freelance gigs,
be it shooting, acting, modeling, what have you. But I'm
so a lyft driver in the interim if I'm not
making any money otherwise. So last Friday I was. I
went out and I hadn't really planned on it, but
(03:14):
Queen Prayr was like, hey, we need some extra money
because X y Z, you know whatever, bill needs to
be paid whatever. You know, no biggie, I said, all right, cool,
I'll get up and I'll just go out and drive.
So went out Friday afternoon. I typically don't do a
lot of the rush hour stuff, but you know, needed
to do what we needed to do. So went out
(03:36):
Friday afternoon, did a ride or two and it was
all good. And then I got summoned for I think
it was my third one. And I'm sitting at a
red light. You know, traffic is starting to pile up
because it's getting close to the regular afternoon rush, if
you will. So I'm sitting at the red light. Light
turns green, the little trickle down effect of cars start
(03:58):
to go, you know, move in front of me, and
before I could hit my accelerator to move, bam, somebody
hit me in the back. Well, bam is a bit
too strong of a word, because, quite frankly, it was
a it may have been a one mile per hour impact.
(04:20):
It was really really you know, minor, I'll say it
that way. Did I feel it, yes? Did my car
feel it? Yes? Am I okay, yes, I am totally fine.
No injuries, nothing like that. But the person that ran
into the back of me, what happened was their foot
was on the brake, and you know, if you take
(04:40):
your foot off the brake most cars they tend to
have a bit of a rolling start, and that's all
that happened. His had a rolling start, his foot slipped
off the brake. Before you know it, Bam. He hit
me in the back of the the back of my car,
and he felt bad about it. He was totally apo aologetic.
(05:00):
He wasn't a jerk about it. And I found that
refreshing because nowadays, man, people will find whatever reason they
can to blame shit on you that they did. You know,
it's I mean, some people would have hit you in
the back and get out the car and be like, hey,
the light was green, you're supposed to go. You know,
(05:23):
they would have done some shit like that. You know,
he didn't. This man he got out of the car
and he felt bad, and I appreciate that and the
whole ordeal. Like I said, it was very, very minor
far as the impact goes, you know, but it's noticeable,
and it didn't at my car put a little dent
(05:44):
on the back of it. I wasn't gonna worry too
much about it, you know, I told him, look here,
let me get your information. He handed me his information
without an issue, and I'll see if I getting my
bumper fixed or whatever. You know, I'm not going to
call it for a police report, none of that. This
just happened. Actually, let me turn it back a little bit.
(06:06):
So when it happened, you know, my first thing instinct
is can this car move? Can I get it off
of this street, this busy street, to where other people
can just go and traffic can be regular, because I
hate seeing disabled cars in the middle of the street
that could actually move. Supposedly the rule is if it steers,
(06:27):
it clears, but some people they just won't do that
for whatever reason. So me, I saw that I could
move my car since I was on the hill. I
just coasted on over off to the side of the
road and tried to get up on the sidewalk and
up on the on the grass there at the intersection,
tried to get some safety and then I shut it down,
(06:48):
got out the car, talked to him, did everything, you know,
exchange all the information and so forth, and said all right, well,
I'll be in touch. I got in the car, and
my car start. So I'm like, what the hell this
is odd? I kept trying it and my car wouldn't start,
almost like it had a dead battery or something. You know, well,
(07:09):
no weak battery, because I still had electricity and all
of that, and I'm like, damn, why is it my
car starting? And so in the past I've seen where
if a battery wasn't strong enough, it won't it won't
start your car. So I asked the old boy, Hey,
I got jumper cables. Let me get a quick jump
(07:29):
from me. We fired it up. Same thing just turns
over and nothing. That's it. The car just doesn't start.
So I'm like, all right, bro, I don't know what's
going on here, but my car was working just fine
before you hit me. So I'm doing everything i can
(07:50):
to keep from having to call insurance companies and all
of that stuff. I'm just trying my best to just
handle this man to man, if you will, because in
my opinion, when you start filing stuff on insurance people,
whether they were at fault or not, people get screwed.
(08:11):
Rates go crazy high, crazy high, even if they if
this was their first time having an incident, you know.
And so I'm like, no, I don't I don't want
no part of that for you. And then i didn't
want to deal with my insurance because I'm thinking, even
though I'm not at fault, They're going to find a
way to yell at me and make my rates go up,
(08:35):
you know. So I had no trust whatsoever. But we're
trying to figure this car out, my car, should say,
trying to figure my car out. I did a quick
Google search or what have you, and came to determine that, yeah,
my battery was fine. I looked in the back, because
(08:55):
my battery is in the back of the car, looked
at it and it looked fine. And but come to
find out that there's a trigger, a kill switch if
you will, that's embedded into the rear of my car,
and it's an impact sensor. So if that sensor, it
feels like, oh, we've been hit. It kills you know,
(09:18):
the fuel pump and kills other stuff in an attempt
to keep my car safe because if it was if
I was impacted and stuck in the car and the
car was still running, there's a chance of a fire
because of the fuel and stuff like that. So they
put in this kill switch, and it's on a couple
of spots of the cars on the front, and I
(09:39):
want to say, it's also in some of the side
panels too. So he hits the rear and he hit
that sensor, and that sensors like, Nope, you're not firing up.
It's not going to happen. But then this led to
another problem. I can't get my car into neutral out
(10:00):
the engine firing up basically, So even if I turn
on the electricity to AC switch or what have you,
I can turn the radio on, turn lights on, and
move seats, YadA, YadA, YadA, but I can't disengage my shifter.
And if I can get it to disengage for half
a second, the car automatically, the computer automatically sends it
(10:22):
right back in the park and won't let me move it.
So that meant I had to get a toe truck
excuse me, I'm gonna cough. So I had to get
the toe truck not through it about that, and I said,
all right, dude, since I'm getting a toe truck involved,
I'm definitely going to be in touch with your insurance
because I'm sure this is going to be more than
(10:44):
a couple hundred dollars to get fixed. You know, I
trusted my mechanic. I trusted my mechanic will be able
to do the body work and stuff on the cheap
and get the parts done on the cheap and be
fair because he has been in the past. You know,
my car is an expensive, older model BMW and he's
(11:05):
been fair. I haven't. I've had a couple issues with
my car, but been fair and they've been fixed. So
I said, all right, no, dude, I don't get this
squared away. I'll be in touch and I'll get in
touch with the insurance. YadA, YadA, YadA, and so on
and so on. So that's that. That's done. Now, I've
just been waiting around today. As of this recording, Wednesday,
(11:28):
August thirteenth, I finally got a rental car. His insurance
people finally got in touch with me, and I finally
got a rental car, so I have that just in
case I need to go out any other time, I
would have just borrowed Phoebe's car or borrowed my other car,
Jake's car, because that car is in my name, so
it's still my car, damnit. So I wasn't worried about that.
(11:50):
My only concern is I can't go out and make money.
I can't go drive lyft in the meantime, So I
hate that. But it's okay. As I told the folks
inside of Patreon, you know, I put a little blog
posts up Saturday or something like that. You know, I
was feeling grateful and yeah, and very fortunate, you know,
(12:18):
because yeah, it was a pretty shitty situation. But at
the end of the day, it could have been a
lot worse. That intersection has definitely had some history of
some bad accidents happening. It didn't happen to me. Yeah,
I had to get my car towed. Could have been
(12:38):
a lot worse. I did eventually get the actual estimate
to get it repaired. Today. This is not it. It's up there. Yeah,
it's he calls a wreck, a wreck to my car. Unfortunately,
when he hit it, even at you know, one or
two mile per hour. It caused some problems on the
back of my car. He hit it just in the
(13:00):
right spot and got to get that sensor replaced. That
caused some other stuff to fire off and fry, and yeah,
all in the effort of keeping my car from blowing up.
So yeah, so that's that. Like I said, I wasn't happy.
I wasn't thrilled, but I was feeling very fortunate because
(13:26):
it could have been a lot worse. I could have
been hurt, you know, he could have been hurt, could
have totally lost my car, you know, could have gotten
out and lost my shit on. Oh boy, and I didn't.
And I'm grateful that none of that was the case.
(13:47):
When I see Miss Phyllis has popped up in the
live chat, Hey miss Phyllis, she says, what's up sending
the fractor on the live chat, says there was a
chain reaction. Yeah, and thank goodness, he had insurance and
it was cool. Yeah, that's true, he had insurance and
that was helpful because they finally got the ball rolling.
(14:09):
It seems like they're getting things done fairly quickly now
to their credit. I'm not going to sit here and
disparage them or him, because, like I said, all of
this could have been a lot worse, way worse than
it is. I'm grateful that everybody's okay. I'm grateful that
I live to talk about it and can walk around,
and I'll just deal with it and wait on God's
(14:30):
plan to work out as far as getting my car
back and moving on to the next steps, you know.
And got to thinking. Got some feedback from someone about
the show, and they got into some other stuff. Actually
I'll get into that in a minute. We're gonna pause
(14:52):
one quick second here for commercial break. I meant, pruit,
this is everyday people doing every day shit on whatever
podcast you enjoyed. Thank y'all for being here. We're gonna
pause for a second for a quick commercial break, so
y'all stay right there. We'll be right back after this,
and we are back at PRUD hanging out on the mics.
(15:13):
Everyday people doing every day shit on whatever podcast app
you use. Been talking about a previous car accident I
had last week. I'm okay. My car is fine. It
ain't okay, but it's fine and it's being worked on
(15:33):
and I should get my car back real soon. I hope.
But anyway, before the break, I mentioned that I had
gotten some feedback about the show from a couple of
different people, and I'm so grateful about that feedback because
it means that it actually impacted at least one person,
you know, That's all I ask, and I'm grateful for that.
(15:54):
But there was another bit of feedback from someone and
they talked about I guess they're one of the members
in Patreon, because, like I said, I posted a little
blog posting in Patreon and there's I don't know, there's
almost one hundred people in there. Speaking of Patreon, we
did lose a couple members this last couple of days,
(16:16):
and it's too bad, but I get it. But if
you're interested in joining the Patreon community, please go to
patreon dot com slash camperuity. You can join for free.
It's totally fine to join for free and get access
to other content that I have in there and other
conversations that we have on a day to day basis.
But yeah, I'm assuming their Patreon member because of some
(16:36):
of the stuff they said. And they were talking about
just having the ability to stay calm in a situation
like the accident and not necessarily losing their shit and
stuff like that, and they've had challenges with it or
what have you. And that's fair. And I've said we
(16:59):
all do. I have challenges, you know, but through lots
of years of mental exercise and prayer, I've worked on it,
you know. And I've always said, I told this person
it's going to continue to be a working process in progress.
(17:20):
And they were mentioning that they had an incident not
too long ago and found themselves in the middle of
that fire, if you will, and was able to keep
calm and to speak calmly and to you know, be
levelhead about it, not losing their shit, you know, because
(17:43):
it's so easy to do that. It's so easy to
just want to go off on somebody, especially when it's
a scenario and that other party has nothing to do
with your mess They just might be the messenger, if
you will, and people will go off and it's not cool.
And this person said, you know what, in said situation,
(18:03):
I was cool and they handled it, and I told
him I'm happy for him, and I told them that
I don't want to take the credit for that, but
I will say that part of my prayers every day,
because yes, I am a believer I do believe in Christ.
(18:25):
And I know a lot of folks watching my show
or atheists, and my friends are atheists, and that's fine.
No issues with you, none still love you. But I'm
a believer and part of my teachings is to be
able to show love to any and everybody. Even if
they despise me, I'm gonna still smile and kill you
(18:46):
what kindness. It ain't easy, but I'm still going to
try to walk the walk, and even when times are tough,
I'm going to get frustrated, but I'm going to try
my best to rein it in and hope that my
daily walk that you, as a YouTube viewer see, or
(19:07):
someone out in public seas, I hope they see my
walk and say, huh, that's what it's all about, you know.
That's that's what believing is all about. Not the stuff
that we hear on all of the news about banning
same sex marriages and all of this crazy political stuff
(19:32):
that they try to hide under Christianity. No, that ain't
what Christianity is about. It's about the walk, you know.
So I hope that's what people are able to see
and yeah and just go from there. So got that
off my chest. Now, next thing, Oh, live chat cinder
(19:56):
Fractal says, what's that hold on? I just says, real man,
real talk. Yeah, that's it. It's I'm not perfect. I
definitely got some flaws. I'm close to perfect. Kidding, kidding,
I'm close to perfect. But at the end of the day,
(20:19):
I want to be able to just have my walk
show people what I'm all about, not what I say.
You know, I'll share a story with y'all briefly before
I get into this next topic. Years years, years years ago.
Actually it was back in the year two thousand and one.
(20:41):
I know that for a fact. It was in the
year two thousand and one, back when I was homeless,
Back when I was living in my car, and if
I got lucky enough to have a couple of dollars
of scratch or what have you, I'd go get myself
a hotel room for a couple of nights. So what
I was doing at that time, I was waiting to
take in this little steakhouse and make a couple of
(21:04):
dollars here, a couple of dollars there, that kind of thing.
They couldn't hire me full time. The owner, he was
a nice guy, but he was like, I can't hire
you full time, but you can come in here, you
can work the lunch shift. So I'd work two hours essentially,
just busting tables and taking orders and that kind of thing,
and hoping i'd get some tips. And there was an
incident that happened and said restaurant between the owner slash
(21:30):
manager and a couple of the other employees and one
of the other waitresses there, and it got pretty ugly.
It got pretty bad, and I remember sitting off in
the corner at the end of my shift. I was
just sort of collecting myself and getting myself ready to
(21:52):
go back to camping in my car. But in the meantime,
I was just sitting off in the corner having some
tea or whatever, and I was reading and the co
workers they were coming down from this big incident, this
big argument that happened with the owner, and I just
(22:13):
realized my camera framing is off. Sorry that come down
from this incident, and they're sort of talking to each other,
and it's like this, mister so and so, he's this,
he's standing, he's always claiming to be this Christian and
the only person in here that actually acts like a
(22:35):
Christian is that man sitting over there in the corner,
and she was poorting to me. And I was grateful
for that, because I've noticed that said owner, said manager
of that restaurant, he did come in thumping the Bible
and just loud and talking. And Hey, if people want
(22:59):
to talk about their faith and so forth, that's fine,
you do you. But I have a problem that there's
a certain line personally for me. I don't believe in
the Bible thumping and going up important fingers and calling
people's centers and then going to hell and this and that.
I don't believe in any of that. And I think
that's totally wrong. Okay, But when I said I was
(23:24):
sitting in the corner reading, I was I was sitting
over there in the corner reading a newspaper. But there
had been several days I would sit over in the
corner and just read my Bible quietly and then just
go to my car and just going about my day.
And I appreciate that coworker, that lady, saying what she
(23:47):
said about me, because that meant what she saw was
my walk, not my talk. You know, this action so
much louder than words. Hell. So anyway, on to the
next thing inside of Patreon, I shared a picture and
(24:12):
I'm going to share it here with the 'all and no, actually,
I want to get into something else. I want to
get into something else. Let me do this. I'm going
to share my screen and just ask you as a
viewer and listener of the show, when it comes to
marketing and promotional stuff. I know all of you see
(24:34):
commercials on TV. Okay, I know all of you see
commercials inside of your social media and stuff like that.
What are you seeing from your local merchants? Are you
seeing things from local restaurants? Are you seeing things from
local stores and things like that? I do from time
to time. Most of the stuff I see is from
the different vineyards here. I hardly ever see this stuff
(24:54):
from the local pizza shops and things like that, probably
because they can't afford those budgets. But every now and
then I'll see some stuff that's local. What about you?
Do you see things from your local businesses as ads
inside of your social media or on television? And if
you do, what do you think of it? Be sure
to leave a comment inside of YouTube because I'm curious. Oh,
(25:18):
my homie, John's in the house. What's up? John? John Hem,
I'm in the house. Good to see you, man. I'm
glad you can make it. I hope you're doing okay, brother,
good to see you. But anyway, back to this this
thing that I want to share with you all. This
is a restaurant that I came across this ad quote
(25:39):
unquote ad inside of Instagram and the account is called
b Haven Restaurant or I guess it's pronounce more like
behaving because it's b Apostrophe Haven Restaurant and their video
has eight million views, over eight million views as of
(26:01):
right now. And this thing was filmed like over five
days ago or something like that. Live chat, Phillis says, no,
she don't see any local business ads. Oh interesting, she don't.
Oh and I was on nightmares in the house. What's up, brother,
Good to see you. I was on nightmare, says I
see some great local stuff, most of which is quite
(26:22):
funny too, which is my favorite kind of ad. Yeah,
And that's the thing. A lot of the local ads,
when I did see them, they were always some type
of off the wall, goofy funny, you know, And I
give those those guys kudos for that. But this one
is this one showed up in my Instagram feed and
it's from Behaving Restaurant and I'm gonna share my screen
(26:42):
now and again. This was from five days ago and
it's got over eight million views. Now this account has
seven thousand, almost eight eight thousand followers, and most of
their videos are getting anywhere between five and ten thousand views. Okay,
but this one's got eight freaking million, So share my screen.
(27:03):
Let me blow this up here. Like so, now, this
this thing, I'm a pose it. It starts out with
a text or caption on the video and it says,
this teenager offered to film my restaurant in order to
get free food, laughing emoji face palm emoji. Okay, and
(27:30):
before you answer, when I saw this video, I already
know the I already know the game plan. Okay, I
know the game plan, all right. With that said the premise,
this teenager offered to film my restaurant in order to
get free food, and they tagged the teenager in this
video as well, I'm gonna see if I can turn
(27:51):
the volume up and let me hit play. Here we go.
Oh well, maybe I'm not gonna play that audio because
that'll hit me with So check out this video thoughts
(28:12):
on the video, So it's a lot of he's. It
starts out as he's sort of walking around with his
camera and just taking various angles, and then he shows
him swooping into the store, swooping into the person, chopping food,
swooping in on the food, zooming in and out on
various objects, doing a couple of orbits around things, and
(28:34):
ends on the frame of the of the shop. Okay,
so with that said, what are your thoughts on that
type of video? Does that video make you want to
go see this this place? Does it make you does
it make you feel anything? You know, just I'm just curious.
(28:59):
Live chat comes in and says, oh, hold on, there's
a superchat first, So superchat ten dollars from a man
Ozone nightmare with a yeah ten dollars donation. He says,
to your earlier comments, I may not be a person
of faith, but I absolutely believe that if something builds
you up and gives you strength, embrace it. Also awesome video.
(29:23):
Oh thank you for that Superchat brother, and thank you
for that comment. Thank you. That's that's so on point.
Cinder Fracto says, this video is pretty snassy and artistic.
Philis Houser says, I love it makes me want to
check out the restaurant. Cool. All right, so the video
did his job right it It got your attention, even
(29:47):
made you interested in to know more about what this
restaurant is. Okay, now let's get to the game plan again.
This video. The aption says, this teenager offered to film
my restaurant in order to get free food. Okay, So
(30:08):
that right there is a good old baiting hook. That's
that's exactly what that is. Would you have clicked on
this video if you didn't see that caption there. I
don't know, maybe you would, maybe you wouldn't. But that
right there is a good baiton hook, and it's a
(30:30):
great baiton hook to get engagement, absolute engagement, because there's
a couple of things working here. Yes, this is a
snazzy video. But then if you go into some of
the comments, you'll see stuff like for life, free food
for life, that's coming. He is awesome and super creative.
(30:53):
Your sales will go up. Yes, this is amazing, and
look at the views. Free food for life. All that
sounds great. Yes, free food for life. My problem is
is that it is that the payment the free food.
(31:16):
Really is that the payment? Now? And if I had
scrolled down a little bit more, there are some comments
in there. They're not loading there, but there are comments
in there thinking along the same lines that I am.
That is the exposure. Will you film this video for
me for some exposure? That's pretty much what that line
(31:38):
can fall into, you know. Oh, I see a super
chat that's coming here, Hold on, hold on, super chat,
thank you. This one comes in from John Helm. It
says good to see you. Definitely a unique video perspective
for five dollars. Thank you for the superchat brother. Then
(31:58):
also John, wait a minute, something just happened to my screen.
Oh let me fix that. Can we try this again?
There it goes. It didn't show on the screen, now
you see it. And then I was on nightmare said
that video is about one hundred times more creative than
(32:20):
what most ad agencies are dumping out these days. Looking
at your looking at you AI ads there, Apple, Yeah,
that's true. Now, okay, so I'm gonna put my creator
hat on and again nothing against this video. This video is.
It's pretty snassy and nicely done. He has all of this.
(32:46):
He's using the gimbal so right there, there's a piece
of equipment there that's at least a six hundred dollar
piece of equipment in his hand in addition to his camera.
First thing, and then he's using all of these zoom effects,
whip effects in addition to proper framing and acting. But
(33:07):
all of that whip, zoom, zoom orbits, all of that
stuff in addition to his camera movements. He needs software.
He needs software. And so when I see this stuff
and see a notion of they did this for free food,
and I know that's not true. I'm pretty sure this
(33:29):
guy got paid, pretty sure of it. But I just
don't like the idea that someone could assume him I'll
let you eat for free for life if you make
me a video and said video turns out eight million views,
you know, you know that's just no. That ain't fair.
(33:49):
Pay that man, or pay that woman whoever's shooting these things.
This was clearly a dude, and I'll give him a
shout out. And this is just see you wit or
just see white believe that's how you pronounce it. Now,
with one hundred thousand followers on Instagram, you know he's
clearly creative. He's got a lot of content on here,
(34:14):
beautiful color grading. Look at this DMW beautiful color grading
on this video. Simple but effective. You know, that's a
great ad. This guy is clearly talented, and I'm assuming
he's doing fairly well with this, with his gigs, with
(34:34):
his business. So good for him. But anyway, that was
my two cents on that. It's a great video. But
I just hope people don't start thinking, all right, let
me go out here and offer some kid to shoot
a video of my restaurant. Now I give him free food.
You know, No, you can give him free food, but
you should you should pay him to or her. That's
(34:56):
just me so anyway, in rant, share your thoughts into
YouTube comments if you can. I'm curious to hear what
you all are thinking. John Helm says, how many followers
or bots for this guy? That app is too You
(35:18):
get a bunch of bots following you. Oh man, We're
gonna pause one more time for a quick break. Thank
y'all for being here. I'm aunt Pruit. This is every
day people. Stay right there. We'll be right back after
this quick break and we're back at Pruit here everyday
people doing every day shit, hitting you on whatever podcast
app you use as well, as life on YouTube. Hey,
(35:41):
do me a favor. If your podcast app gives you
the option to do ratings, please do a rating in
there and review. Thank you very much. And if you're
watching YouTube right now, please hit the like, share subscribe button.
Thank you very much for all of that love. Now,
before we get out of here, I shared one more
thing inside of Patreon yesterday I think it was yesterday,
(36:03):
and it just really struck a nerve because recently in
the news, Dwayne the Rock Johnson and Disney had an
agreement to have certain scenes of a Muuana movie to
include AI generated images of him, basically getting his likeness
(36:30):
to be used in the film. That's not him, but
it's supposed to be him, Okay, So he made an
agreement on that. So that had a big ripple than
the creator space. And what a lot of people fail
to mention is The Rock agreed to it. The Rock
(36:51):
and his team they agreed to that those AI terms.
Everybody was just sort of tossing the story out. They're like, ah,
Disney is using AI and then they had to crush
and destroy the footage because it was so horrible. No,
(37:11):
that wasn't it. Okay, you had the footage that they
captured or created may may have ended up being horrible,
but Disney did what they wanted to do with the
agreement from said talent. They didn't sneak and do any
of this stuff. Okay, they didn't go behind the rocks back.
(37:33):
They went to the rock. The Rock and his team
clearly signed off on this and got some type of
compensation for it. You know, I don't know what it is.
Nobody seems to know what it is because nobody's talking
about that. But you don't see the Rock going out
there and saying, hey, I can't believe Disney was going
(37:54):
to do this to me. You don't see any of that,
do you? Because he agreed. He agreed. So with that said,
it made me think about that. Something that happened to
me made me think about that story. And I'm going
to share my screen again. Let's see if I can
hit the right buttons right here. Nope, that ain't it
(38:18):
this screen? There we go and there I shared in
Patreon how I got this. There was a casting call
out there, because that's what I do. I go out
and look for gigs, and the gig was for another
(38:39):
tech company. As usual, I tend to get those, so
why not apply? And they want me to portray some
type of executive or what have you, you know, And
they always have certain terms in some of those postings.
And if I remember, I thought it said that it
(39:01):
was talking about AI because a lot of these companies
want you to be a part of their AI marketing campaign. Okay,
So I applied and boom, they was like, cool, we
can cast you. And they sent me this message okay,
and I've redacted some of the sensitive stuff in there
because I don't want to throw them under the bus totally.
(39:22):
I'll tell you more, tell you more. Momentarily, this message says, hey,
this is so and so the casting director from so
and so. Thanks for your interests. Few important things to
note the project revolves. The project involves recording your reading
of a short script to help build an AI model
(39:42):
of your voice and likeness. The client will receive perpetual,
unlimited rights to use these recordings for AI model training.
The use of AI may include sinstead it representations of
your voice and or appearance in a video or audio content.
Participation requires you to sign a release covering these terms.
(40:06):
Recording will take about an hour and it must be
done in person here in the city San Francisco to
pay his X amount of dollars for this project. Are
you interested in moving forward? And if you have questions,
let me know, alrighty, then so let me go ahead
and tell you I was interested in that project, but
(40:27):
not for those terms. Okay, not for those terms. And
oh another super chat? Whooh's another super chat? Another super chat.
This one comes in from ozone Nightmare of ten dollars,
he says, agree that the man has the right to
do with this likeness what he wants. I'd never do
(40:48):
anything like that, but I'm also not getting a lot
of cash offers to use my face, so it's a
lot easier in my case. Thank you for super chat.
Ozone Nightmare says I bet he also had a kill fee. Yeah,
and there's and that's that's possible too. Again, the Rock
(41:13):
in Disney had an agreement, so there was there were
some lawyers involved, okay, and and that when they signed
off on say it agreement, both sides were happy enough
to move forward. Okay, that's all I'm saying on that. Now,
this thing here that was offered to me wasn't for
gazillions of dollars, all right. It was a decent pay.
(41:37):
It was decent pay, but not for these terms. Okay,
I was literally gonna be be working for an hour
decent pay for if you break it down by per hour.
But I knew that the long game on this is
(41:58):
different that payday for me. It's only gonna last me
so long, said company said, clients or what have you,
they gonna make potentially way more than what they were
gonna pay me. And I get that, but where's the line.
You know, I've been in a bunch of different ads
(42:18):
and shoots and so forth, and they've paid me well,
but I know that they could potentially make more money
because of my name, image and likeness. But the pay
was fair. The use cases were fair. Use cases. Here
they're saying, all right, we're gonna use your your face
(42:42):
just this one time, but after that, we're gonna use
an auto generated version of you for as long as
we feel like it and not pay you for that.
So nah, I'm not cool with that. And some people,
(43:06):
I'm sure to ask, well, what is fair? And that's
a hard question to answer because every scenario is not
going to be the same. Right. I put this up
against when I used to do head shots, for people.
I didn't charge everybody the same amount of money for headshots.
(43:28):
If I was doing head shots for the neighbor next door,
let's say I charged them one hundred dollars. Okay, I
wasn't charge one hundred dollars. Let's say I was charging
them one hundred dollars for their head shots. Now the
manager at this apartment complex that's looking to go and
be an executive somewhere or what have you, not charging
them one hundred dollars, I'm charging them more. You know,
(43:50):
different values there, Okay, the loan game is different. So
when it comes to this AI stuff, there is a price.
I did counter with this producer, you know, because actually
my first message was to let them know I don't
(44:11):
agree to these terms. It's not fair, you know. And
they were like, well, the client may be receptive to
a counter offer, and I'm thinking, hell yeah. I'm assuming
they knew someone was going to balk at that and
be like nah. So I sent my counteroffer that I
(44:32):
felt was fair and it's got nothing to do with
those terms. I'll just say that nothing to do with
those terms. I don't have a problem with my name,
image and likeness being used. I don't have a problem
as long as I'm compensated fairly. I'll say that I
(44:53):
don't have a problem with my name, image, or likeness
being used as long as I'm compensated fairly. If you
want to throw AI into the mix, that's a whole
different variable. And when I started thinking about this a
little bit more, I said, well, let's use AI and
see what AI says about the scenario. So I went
(45:14):
into Gemini, and I went into chat GPT, and I
put this prompt in, let me see if I can
paste this here safely on the screen and show you
my desk up here like so, all right, so I'm
(45:34):
asking Google Gemini, and I'm using just fictitious numbers. If
a company wants to use my image and likeness and
perpetuity for fifty dollars, should I request they pay two
thousand dollars instead? Okay, totally false numbers, But I was
just trying to sort of think outside of the box
and see what AI was going to say. It runs through, Yes,
(46:01):
you should absolutely request higher payment than the fifty dollars. Okay,
then it breaks down, Oh, there's a super chat hold on.
Dang it. I didn't see that rat go back over here.
Superchat just popped in Woo five dollars superchat from Sender Fractal.
(46:22):
She says, love Team Pruitt. Oh, thank you, thank you,
thank you for that. It's still didn't showing there. It
is not shows on the screen. Thank you so much.
And she also says, yeah, legal implications of current technology.
Many people are not technically aware to notice this, I think,
And okay, that is very very fair, Miss Sender Fractal,
(46:46):
And that is why people should have agents. People should
have some type of representation to look through NDA's and
contracts and stuff like that. I've been doing this for
two something years or so now, and so I've sort
of gotten used to reading through all of these things
(47:08):
and just sort of building a better understanding of the
game of the industry. Excuse me, didn't want to cough
the mic, so I know to understand my worth. Previously,
I was on set for another gig and it was
(47:31):
getting ready to do the shoot and whatnot, and they
gave me my paperwork to sign. Excuse me, they gave
me my paperwork to sign, and when I started reading
through it, the terms didn't match up what was what
I had online from them. Previously. It was like, hey,
this isn't the same, and you know what it was.
(47:52):
It was one word, one word. It was talking about
broadcasting to television. I didn't agree to that initially, so
I marked through that on the contract, put my initials
and took it to the representative there on site and said, hey,
I don't agree to this, so I'm not signing this yet.
(48:15):
So what could have happened there? I get kicked off
the set because I didn't sign the terms, they don't
do the shoot at all and have to go and
find someone else. Both of those things could happen, or
they say, hey, which is what happened in my scenario,
(48:37):
Oh this is wrong, and they corrected the document and
I signed a new one, and of course took a
picture of it and saved it for my records. You know,
so we got to read this stuff, man, And I know,
when when we're dealing with bank accounts is broke like mine,
(48:59):
it's really easy to see big dollar signs and just
sign away. Now we got we gotta be a lot
more discipline. But I pulled I put that into the
Google Gemini AI and it was like, hell, no, you
basically need to ask one more money, and it says
why perpetual rights are so valuable. There's no time limits,
(49:20):
there's no future payments. You lose control, you know. And
then it also goes into how to how to negotiate
for a much more fair price. There's things to consider
like the company's reach, your visibility, like if you have
a lot of following on social media, you know, because
you are a brand yourself, you know, the usage, scope,
(49:42):
the exclusivities, all of that stuff has to be considered.
And I did the same thing for chat GPT because
it's two different AI. I was curious to see if
something else would happen, and chat GPT agrees, and it's like, yeah,
perpetuity is for ever. Once you sign, you lose control
over how, when and where the images use even decades
(50:05):
from now, you know, And we have to think about
that stuff, commercial value, the leverage, and it says counter
with the two grand and then clear the terms, you know,
specify the scope and the media types. And then you
have other alternatives that you can look into, such as
using it for one to three years of rights, you know.
(50:27):
And I'll go ahead and tell y'all firsthand a lot
of the stuff that I've been a part of here
with all of these different shoots in Silicon Valley. First off, God,
thank you for those opportunities. When I read through those things,
those are the kind of things that I'm looking for
im perpetuity. It's not giving you that not giving you
(50:48):
in perpetuity. And most of them nowadays, they know that
shit ain't gonna slide, so they'll put in there one year,
two years, three years, five years, they'll put in there.
And it depends on the shit. It depends on the company.
You know. I'm fortunate to now have an agent that
will look through that stuff for me. But this one here,
(51:12):
I caught it. This was I submitted it for it
on my own, without without the agency, because it was
out of their jurisdiction, if you will. And like I said,
I didn't tell them no, but I definitely sent them
a counter offer because, yeah, you can pay me to
use to use my name, image and likeness in I
(51:32):
l in an AI. You can pay me. We'll see
what they say. It's gonna be. It's gonna be on
my terms, though you know you put it in that AI,
and yeah, it's gonna be on my terms. So that's
my two cents. Uh, Cender Francto says, great, lesson. Oh,
(51:54):
thank you, thank you for that. I hope people find
that useful. Okay, I'm going to get off my soapbox
for now and I'm not going to cough in the mic.
Clear my throat again. Hold on ah, Okay, thank you
all for being here. Again. It means a lot to
(52:16):
have all of the support from you. And as I've
mentioned before, if you want to support the show financially,
you can via Patreon or the super chats or super
thanks and YouTube, or if you want to just join
the Patreon community for free, you can do so too.
I enjoy being there in that community and just hanging
(52:36):
out with my extended family, you know, and having those
types of talks like what we just had now about
this AI. And I know AI gets a bad rap,
and I know AI gets a lot of overhype, but
we need to have more discussions about AI in this
this whole world, not just the creator space and this
(52:59):
whole world in the middle of the road kind of thing,
something that's relatable to everybody, Okay, everybody. What if hmm,
what if my son Jake, what if my son Jacob
was approached because he's modeled before, and they throw him
(53:23):
this big dollar sign number. He's a starving, hungry, broke
college kid. He signed a freaking deal and that thing
says in perpetuity, you know, and that's that and he
ends up having a great career, be it football or
(53:45):
something else. But somebody else is hanging out there that
has rights to his freaking nil name, image and likeness
for the rest of his life and they can make
money off of him. Now he's big time and famous
and it's like, yeah, we can post images about him too.
Why because he signed this no contract four years ago.
(54:09):
So we gotta be careful. We gotta be careful as
regular everyday people man, real talk, real talk. Misspellus with
the super chat. Oh, thank you, Miss Phillis. Miss Phillis
with the ten dollars donation. She says, very good discussion.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. My pleasure, my pleasure.
(54:31):
I just hope this stuff is helpful to everybody. Ozone nightmare,
it says, Amen, just ducking the less sexy topics. It's
one of my huge pet peeves. And when it comes
to AI, yeah, it's all quote greatest thing ever or
it's all quote it's sky neet. What about the murky
middle ground? Yeah, that's the thing. Newspapers and blogs and whatnot.
(54:58):
They're gonna throw those headlines up there for the biggest clicks,
and it's usually extremes, either super hype on one side
or super goom and doom on the other side. Never
ever the freaking middle ground and the finer details. You know,
I'm not totally against AI. I'm not. I use this shit.
(55:18):
It has a use for me, but I am against
it for people not being compensated fairly, you know what
I mean. All Right, folks, I'm gonna get out of here.
Thanks again for showing up here live, even on the
solo shows. That does mean a lot. Queen Perue and
(55:39):
I we think about all of y'all, thinking about you too,
Miss Cindy over there in Khaki Lac, love you you
and the whole family. Thinking about my man, Matt and
BJ y'all on my brain. Looking forward to hearing from
y'all soon on your podcast, y'all stay tuned. I'm not
(56:02):
sure about next week's schedule yet because I actually booked
a shoot next week. I can't remember what day I
figure it out, but I did book a shooting next week,
and I did book another shoot the following week. And
all I can say is, y'all know I don't care
(56:25):
too much for social media, but posting my stuff on
Instagram because casting directors are looking there. I'm living proof. Okay,
I'm living proof. Casting directors are looking at your social media.
(56:45):
So if you're in this creator space, if you're in
the acting and modeling space, put content out there. They're looking, okay,
and they're paying, So do what you gotta do. All right, folks,
we love y'all. Do something good for yourself, do something
good for someone else. Know that it's okay to love
(57:06):
you some of you, And I'll continue to keep y'all
updated on this crazy life of ours. Y'all take care,
This week on the show, rolling solo again. But it's
all good. I'm going to take a look at some
really really catchy video of a local restaurant and get
some thoughts on that, as well as take a look
at yet again AI and how it affects me and
how it could potentially affect YouTube. Yeah, stay tuned. Hey,
(00:39):
what is happening to everybody? I am at PROD. This
is everyday people doing every day shit on whatever podcast
app you enjoy, as well as streaming live right here
on YouTube. Thank you all for being here. I am
unbelievable as all ways, sitting here doing what I do
as best I can and just rolling along this week.
(01:02):
There's no guests this week. There is no Phoebe Pruitt.
It's just me on this here, Mike, and I'm okay
with that because the show still goes on. Yeah, now,
it's all good. I'd rather have conversations over here with her,
but you know she's not here, so let's do this thing.
(01:25):
Thank y'all for being here. I see someone that's popped
into the live chat. Let me see my chat here
on YouTube. Yeah, Cenda fractal, She says, all systems go.
Good to see you. Thanks for being here, Cinda Fractal
really do appreciate you. Uh yeah, this show if you
haven't checked this out before. I like to get on
these mics and just talk about regular, everyday stuff, not
(01:48):
all about getting into the celebrity gossips and stuff like that.
I want to try to talk about things that everyday
people can relate to, you know, just getting up, going
to work, paying bills, trying to pay bills, trying to
find jobs, all of that stuff that regular people deal with.
That's what I want to talk about, as well as
(02:09):
every now and then, if I have some insight on
some things that I've experienced, I'd like to share it.
And now, granted, most of the time I share stuff
inside of the Patreon community, but every now and then
I'll take the stuff out of there and share it
with all of you that are watching live. So let's
go ahead and jump right into it. I see Sender
(02:30):
Fractal has mentioned here in the live chat car accidents
that are not our fault. Well, what is she talking about?
So last week I was in a car accident. So
for those who don't know, yes, I'm a freelancer. I
(02:50):
spend all day every day trying to find freelance gigs,
be it shooting, acting, modeling, what have you. But I'm
so a lyft driver in the interim if I'm not
making any money otherwise. So last Friday I was. I
went out and I hadn't really planned on it, but
(03:14):
Queen Prayr was like, hey, we need some extra money
because X y Z, you know whatever, bill needs to
be paid whatever. You know, no biggie, I said, all right, cool,
I'll get up and I'll just go out and drive.
So went out Friday afternoon. I typically don't do a
lot of the rush hour stuff, but you know, needed
to do what we needed to do. So went out
(03:36):
Friday afternoon, did a ride or two and it was
all good. And then I got summoned for I think
it was my third one. And I'm sitting at a
red light. You know, traffic is starting to pile up
because it's getting close to the regular afternoon rush, if
you will. So I'm sitting at the red light. Light
turns green, the little trickle down effect of cars start
(03:58):
to go, you know, move in front of me, and
before I could hit my accelerator to move, bam, somebody
hit me in the back. Well, bam is a bit
too strong of a word, because, quite frankly, it was
a it may have been a one mile per hour impact.
(04:20):
It was really really you know, minor, I'll say it
that way. Did I feel it, yes? Did my car
feel it? Yes? Am I okay, yes, I am totally fine.
No injuries, nothing like that. But the person that ran
into the back of me, what happened was their foot
was on the brake, and you know, if you take
(04:40):
your foot off the brake most cars they tend to
have a bit of a rolling start, and that's all
that happened. His had a rolling start, his foot slipped
off the brake. Before you know it, Bam. He hit
me in the back of the the back of my car,
and he felt bad about it. He was totally apo aologetic.
(05:00):
He wasn't a jerk about it. And I found that
refreshing because nowadays, man, people will find whatever reason they
can to blame shit on you that they did. You know,
it's I mean, some people would have hit you in
the back and get out the car and be like, hey,
the light was green, you're supposed to go. You know,
(05:23):
they would have done some shit like that. You know,
he didn't. This man he got out of the car
and he felt bad, and I appreciate that and the
whole ordeal. Like I said, it was very, very minor
far as the impact goes, you know, but it's noticeable,
and it didn't at my car put a little dent
(05:44):
on the back of it. I wasn't gonna worry too
much about it, you know, I told him, look here,
let me get your information. He handed me his information
without an issue, and I'll see if I getting my
bumper fixed or whatever. You know, I'm not going to
call it for a police report, none of that. This
just happened. Actually, let me turn it back a little bit.
(06:06):
So when it happened, you know, my first thing instinct
is can this car move? Can I get it off
of this street, this busy street, to where other people
can just go and traffic can be regular, because I
hate seeing disabled cars in the middle of the street
that could actually move. Supposedly the rule is if it steers,
(06:27):
it clears, but some people they just won't do that
for whatever reason. So me, I saw that I could
move my car since I was on the hill. I
just coasted on over off to the side of the
road and tried to get up on the sidewalk and
up on the on the grass there at the intersection,
tried to get some safety and then I shut it down,
(06:48):
got out the car, talked to him, did everything, you know,
exchange all the information and so forth, and said all right, well,
I'll be in touch. I got in the car, and
my car start. So I'm like, what the hell this
is odd? I kept trying it and my car wouldn't start,
almost like it had a dead battery or something. You know, well,
(07:09):
no weak battery, because I still had electricity and all
of that, and I'm like, damn, why is it my
car starting? And so in the past I've seen where
if a battery wasn't strong enough, it won't it won't
start your car. So I asked the old boy, Hey,
I got jumper cables. Let me get a quick jump
(07:29):
from me. We fired it up. Same thing just turns
over and nothing. That's it. The car just doesn't start.
So I'm like, all right, bro, I don't know what's
going on here, but my car was working just fine
before you hit me. So I'm doing everything i can
(07:50):
to keep from having to call insurance companies and all
of that stuff. I'm just trying my best to just
handle this man to man, if you will, because in
my opinion, when you start filing stuff on insurance people,
whether they were at fault or not, people get screwed.
(08:11):
Rates go crazy high, crazy high, even if they if
this was their first time having an incident, you know.
And so I'm like, no, I don't I don't want
no part of that for you. And then i didn't
want to deal with my insurance because I'm thinking, even
though I'm not at fault, They're going to find a
way to yell at me and make my rates go up,
(08:35):
you know. So I had no trust whatsoever. But we're
trying to figure this car out, my car, should say,
trying to figure my car out. I did a quick
Google search or what have you, and came to determine that, yeah,
my battery was fine. I looked in the back, because
(08:55):
my battery is in the back of the car, looked
at it and it looked fine. And but come to
find out that there's a trigger, a kill switch if
you will, that's embedded into the rear of my car,
and it's an impact sensor. So if that sensor, it
feels like, oh, we've been hit. It kills you know,
(09:18):
the fuel pump and kills other stuff in an attempt
to keep my car safe because if it was if
I was impacted and stuck in the car and the
car was still running, there's a chance of a fire
because of the fuel and stuff like that. So they
put in this kill switch, and it's on a couple
of spots of the cars on the front, and I
(09:39):
want to say, it's also in some of the side
panels too. So he hits the rear and he hit
that sensor, and that sensors like, Nope, you're not firing up.
It's not going to happen. But then this led to
another problem. I can't get my car into neutral out
(10:00):
the engine firing up basically, So even if I turn
on the electricity to AC switch or what have you,
I can turn the radio on, turn lights on, and
move seats, YadA, YadA, YadA, but I can't disengage my shifter.
And if I can get it to disengage for half
a second, the car automatically, the computer automatically sends it
(10:22):
right back in the park and won't let me move it.
So that meant I had to get a toe truck
excuse me, I'm gonna cough. So I had to get
the toe truck not through it about that, and I said,
all right, dude, since I'm getting a toe truck involved,
I'm definitely going to be in touch with your insurance
because I'm sure this is going to be more than
(10:44):
a couple hundred dollars to get fixed. You know, I
trusted my mechanic. I trusted my mechanic will be able
to do the body work and stuff on the cheap
and get the parts done on the cheap and be
fair because he has been in the past. You know,
my car is an expensive, older model BMW and he's
(11:05):
been fair. I haven't. I've had a couple issues with
my car, but been fair and they've been fixed. So
I said, all right, no, dude, I don't get this
squared away. I'll be in touch and I'll get in
touch with the insurance. YadA, YadA, YadA, and so on
and so on. So that's that. That's done. Now, I've
just been waiting around today. As of this recording, Wednesday,
(11:28):
August thirteenth, I finally got a rental car. His insurance
people finally got in touch with me, and I finally
got a rental car, so I have that just in
case I need to go out any other time, I
would have just borrowed Phoebe's car or borrowed my other car,
Jake's car, because that car is in my name, so
it's still my car, damnit. So I wasn't worried about that.
(11:50):
My only concern is I can't go out and make money.
I can't go drive lyft in the meantime, So I
hate that. But it's okay. As I told the folks
inside of Patreon, you know, I put a little blog
posts up Saturday or something like that. You know, I
was feeling grateful and yeah, and very fortunate, you know,
(12:18):
because yeah, it was a pretty shitty situation. But at
the end of the day, it could have been a
lot worse. That intersection has definitely had some history of
some bad accidents happening. It didn't happen to me. Yeah,
I had to get my car towed. Could have been
(12:38):
a lot worse. I did eventually get the actual estimate
to get it repaired. Today. This is not it. It's up there. Yeah,
it's he calls a wreck, a wreck to my car. Unfortunately,
when he hit it, even at you know, one or
two mile per hour. It caused some problems on the
back of my car. He hit it just in the
(13:00):
right spot and got to get that sensor replaced. That
caused some other stuff to fire off and fry, and yeah,
all in the effort of keeping my car from blowing up.
So yeah, so that's that. Like I said, I wasn't happy.
I wasn't thrilled, but I was feeling very fortunate because
(13:26):
it could have been a lot worse. I could have
been hurt, you know, he could have been hurt, could
have totally lost my car, you know, could have gotten
out and lost my shit on. Oh boy, and I didn't.
And I'm grateful that none of that was the case.
(13:47):
When I see Miss Phyllis has popped up in the
live chat, Hey miss Phyllis, she says, what's up sending
the fractor on the live chat, says there was a
chain reaction. Yeah, and thank goodness, he had insurance and
it was cool. Yeah, that's true, he had insurance and
that was helpful because they finally got the ball rolling.
(14:09):
It seems like they're getting things done fairly quickly now
to their credit. I'm not going to sit here and
disparage them or him, because, like I said, all of
this could have been a lot worse, way worse than
it is. I'm grateful that everybody's okay. I'm grateful that
I live to talk about it and can walk around,
and I'll just deal with it and wait on God's
(14:30):
plan to work out as far as getting my car
back and moving on to the next steps, you know.
And got to thinking. Got some feedback from someone about
the show, and they got into some other stuff. Actually
I'll get into that in a minute. We're gonna pause
(14:52):
one quick second here for commercial break. I meant, pruit,
this is everyday people doing every day shit on whatever
podcast you enjoyed. Thank y'all for being here. We're gonna
pause for a second for a quick commercial break, so
y'all stay right there. We'll be right back after this,
and we are back at PRUD hanging out on the mics.
(15:13):
Everyday people doing every day shit on whatever podcast app
you use. Been talking about a previous car accident I
had last week. I'm okay. My car is fine. It
ain't okay, but it's fine and it's being worked on
(15:33):
and I should get my car back real soon. I hope.
But anyway, before the break, I mentioned that I had
gotten some feedback about the show from a couple of
different people, and I'm so grateful about that feedback because
it means that it actually impacted at least one person,
you know, That's all I ask, and I'm grateful for that.
(15:54):
But there was another bit of feedback from someone and
they talked about I guess they're one of the members
in Patreon, because, like I said, I posted a little
blog posting in Patreon and there's I don't know, there's
almost one hundred people in there. Speaking of Patreon, we
did lose a couple members this last couple of days,
(16:16):
and it's too bad, but I get it. But if
you're interested in joining the Patreon community, please go to
patreon dot com slash camperuity. You can join for free.
It's totally fine to join for free and get access
to other content that I have in there and other
conversations that we have on a day to day basis.
But yeah, I'm assuming their Patreon member because of some
(16:36):
of the stuff they said. And they were talking about
just having the ability to stay calm in a situation
like the accident and not necessarily losing their shit and
stuff like that, and they've had challenges with it or
what have you. And that's fair. And I've said we
(16:59):
all do. I have challenges, you know, but through lots
of years of mental exercise and prayer, I've worked on it,
you know. And I've always said, I told this person
it's going to continue to be a working process in progress.
(17:20):
And they were mentioning that they had an incident not
too long ago and found themselves in the middle of
that fire, if you will, and was able to keep
calm and to speak calmly and to you know, be
levelhead about it, not losing their shit, you know, because
(17:43):
it's so easy to do that. It's so easy to
just want to go off on somebody, especially when it's
a scenario and that other party has nothing to do
with your mess They just might be the messenger, if
you will, and people will go off and it's not cool.
And this person said, you know what, in said situation,
(18:03):
I was cool and they handled it, and I told
him I'm happy for him, and I told them that
I don't want to take the credit for that, but
I will say that part of my prayers every day,
because yes, I am a believer I do believe in Christ.
(18:25):
And I know a lot of folks watching my show
or atheists, and my friends are atheists, and that's fine.
No issues with you, none still love you. But I'm
a believer and part of my teachings is to be
able to show love to any and everybody. Even if
they despise me, I'm gonna still smile and kill you
(18:46):
what kindness. It ain't easy, but I'm still going to
try to walk the walk, and even when times are tough,
I'm going to get frustrated, but I'm going to try
my best to rein it in and hope that my
daily walk that you, as a YouTube viewer see, or
(19:07):
someone out in public seas, I hope they see my
walk and say, huh, that's what it's all about, you know.
That's that's what believing is all about. Not the stuff
that we hear on all of the news about banning
same sex marriages and all of this crazy political stuff
(19:32):
that they try to hide under Christianity. No, that ain't
what Christianity is about. It's about the walk, you know.
So I hope that's what people are able to see
and yeah and just go from there. So got that
off my chest. Now, next thing, Oh, live chat cinder
(19:56):
Fractal says, what's that hold on? I just says, real man,
real talk. Yeah, that's it. It's I'm not perfect. I
definitely got some flaws. I'm close to perfect. Kidding, kidding,
I'm close to perfect. But at the end of the day,
(20:19):
I want to be able to just have my walk
show people what I'm all about, not what I say.
You know, I'll share a story with y'all briefly before
I get into this next topic. Years years, years years ago.
Actually it was back in the year two thousand and one.
(20:41):
I know that for a fact. It was in the
year two thousand and one, back when I was homeless,
Back when I was living in my car, and if
I got lucky enough to have a couple of dollars
of scratch or what have you, I'd go get myself
a hotel room for a couple of nights. So what
I was doing at that time, I was waiting to
take in this little steakhouse and make a couple of
(21:04):
dollars here, a couple of dollars there, that kind of thing.
They couldn't hire me full time. The owner, he was
a nice guy, but he was like, I can't hire
you full time, but you can come in here, you
can work the lunch shift. So I'd work two hours essentially,
just busting tables and taking orders and that kind of thing,
and hoping i'd get some tips. And there was an
incident that happened and said restaurant between the owner slash
(21:30):
manager and a couple of the other employees and one
of the other waitresses there, and it got pretty ugly.
It got pretty bad, and I remember sitting off in
the corner at the end of my shift. I was
just sort of collecting myself and getting myself ready to
(21:52):
go back to camping in my car. But in the meantime,
I was just sitting off in the corner having some
tea or whatever, and I was reading and the co
workers they were coming down from this big incident, this
big argument that happened with the owner, and I just
(22:13):
realized my camera framing is off. Sorry that come down
from this incident, and they're sort of talking to each other,
and it's like this, mister so and so, he's this,
he's standing, he's always claiming to be this Christian and
the only person in here that actually acts like a
(22:35):
Christian is that man sitting over there in the corner,
and she was poorting to me. And I was grateful
for that, because I've noticed that said owner, said manager
of that restaurant, he did come in thumping the Bible
and just loud and talking. And Hey, if people want
(22:59):
to talk about their faith and so forth, that's fine,
you do you. But I have a problem that there's
a certain line personally for me. I don't believe in
the Bible thumping and going up important fingers and calling
people's centers and then going to hell and this and that.
I don't believe in any of that. And I think
that's totally wrong. Okay, But when I said I was
(23:24):
sitting in the corner reading, I was I was sitting
over there in the corner reading a newspaper. But there
had been several days I would sit over in the
corner and just read my Bible quietly and then just
go to my car and just going about my day.
And I appreciate that coworker, that lady, saying what she
(23:47):
said about me, because that meant what she saw was
my walk, not my talk. You know, this action so
much louder than words. Hell. So anyway, on to the
next thing inside of Patreon, I shared a picture and
(24:12):
I'm going to share it here with the 'all and no, actually,
I want to get into something else. I want to
get into something else. Let me do this. I'm going
to share my screen and just ask you as a
viewer and listener of the show, when it comes to
marketing and promotional stuff. I know all of you see
(24:34):
commercials on TV. Okay, I know all of you see
commercials inside of your social media and stuff like that.
What are you seeing from your local merchants? Are you
seeing things from local restaurants? Are you seeing things from
local stores and things like that? I do from time
to time. Most of the stuff I see is from
the different vineyards here. I hardly ever see this stuff
(24:54):
from the local pizza shops and things like that, probably
because they can't afford those budgets. But every now and
then I'll see some stuff that's local. What about you?
Do you see things from your local businesses as ads
inside of your social media or on television? And if
you do, what do you think of it? Be sure
to leave a comment inside of YouTube because I'm curious. Oh,
(25:18):
my homie, John's in the house. What's up? John? John Hem,
I'm in the house. Good to see you, man. I'm
glad you can make it. I hope you're doing okay, brother,
good to see you. But anyway, back to this this
thing that I want to share with you all. This
is a restaurant that I came across this ad quote
(25:39):
unquote ad inside of Instagram and the account is called
b Haven Restaurant or I guess it's pronounce more like
behaving because it's b Apostrophe Haven Restaurant and their video
has eight million views, over eight million views as of
(26:01):
right now. And this thing was filmed like over five
days ago or something like that. Live chat, Phillis says, no,
she don't see any local business ads. Oh interesting, she don't.
Oh and I was on nightmares in the house. What's up, brother,
Good to see you. I was on nightmare, says I
see some great local stuff, most of which is quite
(26:22):
funny too, which is my favorite kind of ad. Yeah,
And that's the thing. A lot of the local ads,
when I did see them, they were always some type
of off the wall, goofy funny, you know, And I
give those those guys kudos for that. But this one
is this one showed up in my Instagram feed and
it's from Behaving Restaurant and I'm gonna share my screen
(26:42):
now and again. This was from five days ago and
it's got over eight million views. Now this account has
seven thousand, almost eight eight thousand followers, and most of
their videos are getting anywhere between five and ten thousand views. Okay,
but this one's got eight freaking million, So share my screen.
(27:03):
Let me blow this up here. Like so, now, this
this thing, I'm a pose it. It starts out with
a text or caption on the video and it says,
this teenager offered to film my restaurant in order to
get free food, laughing emoji face palm emoji. Okay, and
(27:30):
before you answer, when I saw this video, I already
know the I already know the game plan. Okay, I
know the game plan, all right. With that said the premise,
this teenager offered to film my restaurant in order to
get free food, and they tagged the teenager in this
video as well, I'm gonna see if I can turn
(27:51):
the volume up and let me hit play. Here we go.
Oh well, maybe I'm not gonna play that audio because
that'll hit me with So check out this video thoughts
(28:12):
on the video, So it's a lot of he's. It
starts out as he's sort of walking around with his
camera and just taking various angles, and then he shows
him swooping into the store, swooping into the person, chopping food,
swooping in on the food, zooming in and out on
various objects, doing a couple of orbits around things, and
(28:34):
ends on the frame of the of the shop. Okay,
so with that said, what are your thoughts on that
type of video? Does that video make you want to
go see this this place? Does it make you does
it make you feel anything? You know, just I'm just curious.
(28:59):
Live chat comes in and says, oh, hold on, there's
a superchat first, So superchat ten dollars from a man
Ozone nightmare with a yeah ten dollars donation. He says,
to your earlier comments, I may not be a person
of faith, but I absolutely believe that if something builds
you up and gives you strength, embrace it. Also awesome video.
(29:23):
Oh thank you for that Superchat brother, and thank you
for that comment. Thank you. That's that's so on point.
Cinder Fracto says, this video is pretty snassy and artistic.
Philis Houser says, I love it makes me want to
check out the restaurant. Cool. All right, so the video
did his job right it It got your attention, even
(29:47):
made you interested in to know more about what this
restaurant is. Okay, now let's get to the game plan again.
This video. The aption says, this teenager offered to film
my restaurant in order to get free food. Okay, So
(30:08):
that right there is a good old baiting hook. That's
that's exactly what that is. Would you have clicked on
this video if you didn't see that caption there. I
don't know, maybe you would, maybe you wouldn't. But that
right there is a good baiton hook, and it's a
(30:30):
great baiton hook to get engagement, absolute engagement, because there's
a couple of things working here. Yes, this is a
snazzy video. But then if you go into some of
the comments, you'll see stuff like for life, free food
for life, that's coming. He is awesome and super creative.
(30:53):
Your sales will go up. Yes, this is amazing, and
look at the views. Free food for life. All that
sounds great. Yes, free food for life. My problem is
is that it is that the payment the free food.
(31:16):
Really is that the payment? Now? And if I had
scrolled down a little bit more, there are some comments
in there. They're not loading there, but there are comments
in there thinking along the same lines that I am.
That is the exposure. Will you film this video for
me for some exposure? That's pretty much what that line
(31:38):
can fall into, you know. Oh, I see a super
chat that's coming here, Hold on, hold on, super chat,
thank you. This one comes in from John Helm. It
says good to see you. Definitely a unique video perspective
for five dollars. Thank you for the superchat brother. Then
(31:58):
also John, wait a minute, something just happened to my screen.
Oh let me fix that. Can we try this again?
There it goes. It didn't show on the screen, now
you see it. And then I was on nightmare said
that video is about one hundred times more creative than
(32:20):
what most ad agencies are dumping out these days. Looking
at your looking at you AI ads there, Apple, Yeah,
that's true. Now, okay, so I'm gonna put my creator
hat on and again nothing against this video. This video is.
It's pretty snassy and nicely done. He has all of this.
(32:46):
He's using the gimbal so right there, there's a piece
of equipment there that's at least a six hundred dollar
piece of equipment in his hand in addition to his camera.
First thing, and then he's using all of these zoom effects,
whip effects in addition to proper framing and acting. But
(33:07):
all of that whip, zoom, zoom orbits, all of that
stuff in addition to his camera movements. He needs software.
He needs software. And so when I see this stuff
and see a notion of they did this for free food,
and I know that's not true. I'm pretty sure this
(33:29):
guy got paid, pretty sure of it. But I just
don't like the idea that someone could assume him I'll
let you eat for free for life if you make
me a video and said video turns out eight million views,
you know, you know that's just no. That ain't fair.
(33:49):
Pay that man, or pay that woman whoever's shooting these things.
This was clearly a dude, and I'll give him a
shout out. And this is just see you wit or
just see white believe that's how you pronounce it. Now,
with one hundred thousand followers on Instagram, you know he's
clearly creative. He's got a lot of content on here,
(34:14):
beautiful color grading. Look at this DMW beautiful color grading
on this video. Simple but effective. You know, that's a
great ad. This guy is clearly talented, and I'm assuming
he's doing fairly well with this, with his gigs, with
(34:34):
his business. So good for him. But anyway, that was
my two cents on that. It's a great video. But
I just hope people don't start thinking, all right, let
me go out here and offer some kid to shoot
a video of my restaurant. Now I give him free food.
You know, No, you can give him free food, but
you should you should pay him to or her. That's
(34:56):
just me so anyway, in rant, share your thoughts into
YouTube comments if you can. I'm curious to hear what
you all are thinking. John Helm says, how many followers
or bots for this guy? That app is too You
(35:18):
get a bunch of bots following you. Oh man, We're
gonna pause one more time for a quick break. Thank
y'all for being here. I'm aunt Pruit. This is every
day people. Stay right there. We'll be right back after
this quick break and we're back at Pruit here everyday
people doing every day shit, hitting you on whatever podcast
app you use as well, as life on YouTube. Hey,
(35:41):
do me a favor. If your podcast app gives you
the option to do ratings, please do a rating in
there and review. Thank you very much. And if you're
watching YouTube right now, please hit the like, share subscribe button.
Thank you very much for all of that love. Now,
before we get out of here, I shared one more
thing inside of Patreon yesterday I think it was yesterday,
(36:03):
and it just really struck a nerve because recently in
the news, Dwayne the Rock Johnson and Disney had an
agreement to have certain scenes of a Muuana movie to
include AI generated images of him, basically getting his likeness
(36:30):
to be used in the film. That's not him, but
it's supposed to be him, Okay, So he made an
agreement on that. So that had a big ripple than
the creator space. And what a lot of people fail
to mention is The Rock agreed to it. The Rock
(36:51):
and his team they agreed to that those AI terms.
Everybody was just sort of tossing the story out. They're like, ah,
Disney is using AI and then they had to crush
and destroy the footage because it was so horrible. No,
(37:11):
that wasn't it. Okay, you had the footage that they
captured or created may may have ended up being horrible,
but Disney did what they wanted to do with the
agreement from said talent. They didn't sneak and do any
of this stuff. Okay, they didn't go behind the rocks back.
(37:33):
They went to the rock. The Rock and his team
clearly signed off on this and got some type of
compensation for it. You know, I don't know what it is.
Nobody seems to know what it is because nobody's talking
about that. But you don't see the Rock going out
there and saying, hey, I can't believe Disney was going
(37:54):
to do this to me. You don't see any of that,
do you? Because he agreed. He agreed. So with that said,
it made me think about that. Something that happened to
me made me think about that story. And I'm going
to share my screen again. Let's see if I can
hit the right buttons right here. Nope, that ain't it
(38:18):
this screen? There we go and there I shared in
Patreon how I got this. There was a casting call
out there, because that's what I do. I go out
and look for gigs, and the gig was for another
(38:39):
tech company. As usual, I tend to get those, so
why not apply? And they want me to portray some
type of executive or what have you, you know, And
they always have certain terms in some of those postings.
And if I remember, I thought it said that it
(39:01):
was talking about AI because a lot of these companies
want you to be a part of their AI marketing campaign. Okay,
So I applied and boom, they was like, cool, we
can cast you. And they sent me this message okay,
and I've redacted some of the sensitive stuff in there
because I don't want to throw them under the bus totally.
(39:22):
I'll tell you more, tell you more. Momentarily, this message says, hey,
this is so and so the casting director from so
and so. Thanks for your interests. Few important things to
note the project revolves. The project involves recording your reading
of a short script to help build an AI model
(39:42):
of your voice and likeness. The client will receive perpetual,
unlimited rights to use these recordings for AI model training.
The use of AI may include sinstead it representations of
your voice and or appearance in a video or audio content.
Participation requires you to sign a release covering these terms.
(40:06):
Recording will take about an hour and it must be
done in person here in the city San Francisco to
pay his X amount of dollars for this project. Are
you interested in moving forward? And if you have questions,
let me know, alrighty, then so let me go ahead
and tell you I was interested in that project, but
(40:27):
not for those terms. Okay, not for those terms. And
oh another super chat? Whooh's another super chat? Another super chat.
This one comes in from ozone Nightmare of ten dollars,
he says, agree that the man has the right to
do with this likeness what he wants. I'd never do
(40:48):
anything like that, but I'm also not getting a lot
of cash offers to use my face, so it's a
lot easier in my case. Thank you for super chat.
Ozone Nightmare says I bet he also had a kill fee. Yeah,
and there's and that's that's possible too. Again, the Rock
(41:13):
in Disney had an agreement, so there was there were
some lawyers involved, okay, and and that when they signed
off on say it agreement, both sides were happy enough
to move forward. Okay, that's all I'm saying on that. Now,
this thing here that was offered to me wasn't for
gazillions of dollars, all right. It was a decent pay.
(41:37):
It was decent pay, but not for these terms. Okay,
I was literally gonna be be working for an hour
decent pay for if you break it down by per hour.
But I knew that the long game on this is
(41:58):
different that payday for me. It's only gonna last me
so long, said company said, clients or what have you,
they gonna make potentially way more than what they were
gonna pay me. And I get that, but where's the line.
You know, I've been in a bunch of different ads
(42:18):
and shoots and so forth, and they've paid me well,
but I know that they could potentially make more money
because of my name, image and likeness. But the pay
was fair. The use cases were fair. Use cases. Here
they're saying, all right, we're gonna use your your face
(42:42):
just this one time, but after that, we're gonna use
an auto generated version of you for as long as
we feel like it and not pay you for that.
So nah, I'm not cool with that. And some people,
(43:06):
I'm sure to ask, well, what is fair? And that's
a hard question to answer because every scenario is not
going to be the same. Right. I put this up
against when I used to do head shots, for people.
I didn't charge everybody the same amount of money for headshots.
(43:28):
If I was doing head shots for the neighbor next door,
let's say I charged them one hundred dollars. Okay, I
wasn't charge one hundred dollars. Let's say I was charging
them one hundred dollars for their head shots. Now the
manager at this apartment complex that's looking to go and
be an executive somewhere or what have you, not charging
them one hundred dollars, I'm charging them more. You know,
(43:50):
different values there, Okay, the loan game is different. So
when it comes to this AI stuff, there is a price.
I did counter with this producer, you know, because actually
my first message was to let them know I don't
(44:11):
agree to these terms. It's not fair, you know. And
they were like, well, the client may be receptive to
a counter offer, and I'm thinking, hell yeah. I'm assuming
they knew someone was going to balk at that and
be like nah. So I sent my counteroffer that I
(44:32):
felt was fair and it's got nothing to do with
those terms. I'll just say that nothing to do with
those terms. I don't have a problem with my name,
image and likeness being used. I don't have a problem
as long as I'm compensated fairly. I'll say that I
(44:53):
don't have a problem with my name, image, or likeness
being used as long as I'm compensated fairly. If you
want to throw AI into the mix, that's a whole
different variable. And when I started thinking about this a
little bit more, I said, well, let's use AI and
see what AI says about the scenario. So I went
(45:14):
into Gemini, and I went into chat GPT, and I
put this prompt in, let me see if I can
paste this here safely on the screen and show you
my desk up here like so, all right, so I'm
(45:34):
asking Google Gemini, and I'm using just fictitious numbers. If
a company wants to use my image and likeness and
perpetuity for fifty dollars, should I request they pay two
thousand dollars instead? Okay, totally false numbers, But I was
just trying to sort of think outside of the box
and see what AI was going to say. It runs through, Yes,
(46:01):
you should absolutely request higher payment than the fifty dollars. Okay,
then it breaks down, Oh, there's a super chat hold on.
Dang it. I didn't see that rat go back over here.
Superchat just popped in Woo five dollars superchat from Sender Fractal.
(46:22):
She says, love Team Pruitt. Oh, thank you, thank you,
thank you for that. It's still didn't showing there. It
is not shows on the screen. Thank you so much.
And she also says, yeah, legal implications of current technology.
Many people are not technically aware to notice this, I think,
And okay, that is very very fair, Miss Sender Fractal,
(46:46):
And that is why people should have agents. People should
have some type of representation to look through NDA's and
contracts and stuff like that. I've been doing this for
two something years or so now, and so I've sort
of gotten used to reading through all of these things
(47:08):
and just sort of building a better understanding of the
game of the industry. Excuse me, didn't want to cough
the mic, so I know to understand my worth. Previously,
I was on set for another gig and it was
(47:31):
getting ready to do the shoot and whatnot, and they
gave me my paperwork to sign. Excuse me, they gave
me my paperwork to sign, and when I started reading
through it, the terms didn't match up what was what
I had online from them. Previously. It was like, hey,
this isn't the same, and you know what it was.
(47:52):
It was one word, one word. It was talking about
broadcasting to television. I didn't agree to that initially, so
I marked through that on the contract, put my initials
and took it to the representative there on site and said, hey,
I don't agree to this, so I'm not signing this yet.
(48:15):
So what could have happened there? I get kicked off
the set because I didn't sign the terms, they don't
do the shoot at all and have to go and
find someone else. Both of those things could happen, or
they say, hey, which is what happened in my scenario,
(48:37):
Oh this is wrong, and they corrected the document and
I signed a new one, and of course took a
picture of it and saved it for my records. You know,
so we got to read this stuff, man, And I know,
when when we're dealing with bank accounts is broke like mine,
(48:59):
it's really easy to see big dollar signs and just
sign away. Now we got we gotta be a lot
more discipline. But I pulled I put that into the
Google Gemini AI and it was like, hell, no, you
basically need to ask one more money, and it says
why perpetual rights are so valuable. There's no time limits,
(49:20):
there's no future payments. You lose control, you know. And
then it also goes into how to how to negotiate
for a much more fair price. There's things to consider
like the company's reach, your visibility, like if you have
a lot of following on social media, you know, because
you are a brand yourself, you know, the usage, scope,
(49:42):
the exclusivities, all of that stuff has to be considered.
And I did the same thing for chat GPT because
it's two different AI. I was curious to see if
something else would happen, and chat GPT agrees, and it's like, yeah,
perpetuity is for ever. Once you sign, you lose control
over how, when and where the images use even decades
(50:05):
from now, you know, And we have to think about
that stuff, commercial value, the leverage, and it says counter
with the two grand and then clear the terms, you know,
specify the scope and the media types. And then you
have other alternatives that you can look into, such as
using it for one to three years of rights, you know.
(50:27):
And I'll go ahead and tell y'all firsthand a lot
of the stuff that I've been a part of here
with all of these different shoots in Silicon Valley. First off, God,
thank you for those opportunities. When I read through those things,
those are the kind of things that I'm looking for
im perpetuity. It's not giving you that not giving you
(50:48):
in perpetuity. And most of them nowadays, they know that
shit ain't gonna slide, so they'll put in there one year,
two years, three years, five years, they'll put in there.
And it depends on the shit. It depends on the company.
You know. I'm fortunate to now have an agent that
will look through that stuff for me. But this one here,
(51:12):
I caught it. This was I submitted it for it
on my own, without without the agency, because it was
out of their jurisdiction, if you will. And like I said,
I didn't tell them no, but I definitely sent them
a counter offer because, yeah, you can pay me to
use to use my name, image and likeness in I
(51:32):
l in an AI. You can pay me. We'll see
what they say. It's gonna be. It's gonna be on
my terms, though you know you put it in that AI,
and yeah, it's gonna be on my terms. So that's
my two cents. Uh, Cender Francto says, great, lesson. Oh,
(51:54):
thank you, thank you for that. I hope people find
that useful. Okay, I'm going to get off my soapbox
for now and I'm not going to cough in the mic.
Clear my throat again. Hold on ah, Okay, thank you
all for being here. Again. It means a lot to
(52:16):
have all of the support from you. And as I've
mentioned before, if you want to support the show financially,
you can via Patreon or the super chats or super
thanks and YouTube, or if you want to just join
the Patreon community for free, you can do so too.
I enjoy being there in that community and just hanging
(52:36):
out with my extended family, you know, and having those
types of talks like what we just had now about
this AI. And I know AI gets a bad rap,
and I know AI gets a lot of overhype, but
we need to have more discussions about AI in this
this whole world, not just the creator space and this
(52:59):
whole world in the middle of the road kind of thing,
something that's relatable to everybody, Okay, everybody. What if hmm,
what if my son Jake, what if my son Jacob
was approached because he's modeled before, and they throw him
(53:23):
this big dollar sign number. He's a starving, hungry, broke
college kid. He signed a freaking deal and that thing
says in perpetuity, you know, and that's that and he
ends up having a great career, be it football or
(53:45):
something else. But somebody else is hanging out there that
has rights to his freaking nil name, image and likeness
for the rest of his life and they can make
money off of him. Now he's big time and famous
and it's like, yeah, we can post images about him too.
Why because he signed this no contract four years ago.
(54:09):
So we gotta be careful. We gotta be careful as
regular everyday people man, real talk, real talk. Misspellus with
the super chat. Oh, thank you, Miss Phillis. Miss Phillis
with the ten dollars donation. She says, very good discussion.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. My pleasure, my pleasure.
(54:31):
I just hope this stuff is helpful to everybody. Ozone nightmare,
it says, Amen, just ducking the less sexy topics. It's
one of my huge pet peeves. And when it comes
to AI, yeah, it's all quote greatest thing ever or
it's all quote it's sky neet. What about the murky
middle ground? Yeah, that's the thing. Newspapers and blogs and whatnot.
(54:58):
They're gonna throw those headlines up there for the biggest clicks,
and it's usually extremes, either super hype on one side
or super goom and doom on the other side. Never
ever the freaking middle ground and the finer details. You know,
I'm not totally against AI. I'm not. I use this shit.
(55:18):
It has a use for me, but I am against
it for people not being compensated fairly, you know what
I mean. All Right, folks, I'm gonna get out of here.
Thanks again for showing up here live, even on the
solo shows. That does mean a lot. Queen Perue and
(55:39):
I we think about all of y'all, thinking about you too,
Miss Cindy over there in Khaki Lac, love you you
and the whole family. Thinking about my man, Matt and
BJ y'all on my brain. Looking forward to hearing from
y'all soon on your podcast, y'all stay tuned. I'm not
(56:02):
sure about next week's schedule yet because I actually booked
a shoot next week. I can't remember what day I
figure it out, but I did book a shooting next week,
and I did book another shoot the following week. And
all I can say is, y'all know I don't care
(56:25):
too much for social media, but posting my stuff on
Instagram because casting directors are looking there. I'm living proof. Okay,
I'm living proof. Casting directors are looking at your social media.
(56:45):
So if you're in this creator space, if you're in
the acting and modeling space, put content out there. They're looking, okay,
and they're paying, So do what you gotta do. All right, folks,
we love y'all. Do something good for yourself, do something
good for someone else. Know that it's okay to love
(57:06):
you some of you, And I'll continue to keep y'all
updated on this crazy life of ours. Y'all take care,
