Speaker 1 (00:02):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty, I'm strong and Getty and
now he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
With our leader up there, my hero da Gladiator. We're
gonna bring America back together, one real American at a time.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Brother, I'm not supposed to be here tonight. I'm supposed
to be here.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yeah, we have a celebrity death breaking news. Hunk Hulgan
has been given a sleeper hold by God. He is
dead at age seventy one.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Ah, it's unfortunate way to phrase.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
It, but well, was that the clip for was that
the clip from the convention where he pulled his shirt off?
I don't think it was that was that was the
big moment. I was in the hall at the time,
and I knew he was close to death then because
he really struggled to tear apart in that like obviously
very flimsy t shirt, to tear it off his chest
when he showed that he was wearing his tank top
(01:23):
and Trump and blah blah blah, hul covid and uh.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Well, wondery struggled. He was less than a year from
the grave. Right, he's seventy one years old. He's dead.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
It says of cardiac arrest, any gonna be And he
mentioned at any point of a lifetime of steroid use
in any role that played, perhaps in is uh untimely passing.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Yeah, you're you're quicker than the average person to go
into condemning and s talking to dead as people usually
observe like five minutes of respect. So yes, I think
we'll get to the steroids at some point. Just as
a quick aside, I have a text string with a
couple of my former bandmates and we still play and
(02:06):
record now again, but that we just if a prominent
musician dies, we just send the picture to each other.
Then it's like, oh no, really, well, Rich just sent
both Chuck Mangioni and Hulk Hogan. Chuck Mangoni died, Well,
(02:26):
he texted the picture anyway, I said, musicians okay, alright,
So I said, I said musicians only please, and he replied,
don't tell me you didn't hear Hulk Hogan's Hulkamania song. Right,
I was looking at his Wikipedia and years ago, if
we could come up.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
With the Hulkamania song, that would be fantastic.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Here's act what he did occupations it has musician Hulk Hogan.
I did not realize that he also would sex up
your wife if you if you ask him to. According
to that that video that came out, is that the
Bubba the love spoech Yes, yes, where Bubba the Love
Sponge is just walking around in the bedroom. Well, the
Hulk gives it to his old lady odd lifestyle, I
(03:12):
would say, I.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Would say so, Hulk Hogan.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Well, here's a little uh something from the past to
when he was mostly known as a wrestler nationwide. He
was the biggest name in all of wrestling for a while,
right way way way back in the day.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Well, one of the Biggs names in entertainment. Yeah, here
we go.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Hogan made his way to w w E and McMahon
knew he had struck gold.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
The date was the.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Twenty third of January nineteen eighty four, and it was
Hulk Hogan going off against the Iron Sheet and the
joint was crazy and I had a feeling that fans
knew something big was about to wear.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Rough Hay cut up. He's done for the Wait a second,
that's because there more, Michael. That's the iron chic. That's
(04:13):
not George Foreman Beaten Frasier.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
So what you're saying is the people that run the
WWF decided they needed a different star, so orchestrated the
result where Hulk Hogan would be the new winner. I
mean correct, Why did you act like that was some
sort of upset sporting event. That's pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, but that's the trappings of the thing.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
He became the new fan favorite, the new star, but
he wasn't a he beat down that evil probably Muslim
iron chic.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I've never been into the wrestling, I just barely know
anything about it. But Hulk Hogan wasn't a heel, was
he? He was a good guy, isn't he?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah? Yeah, he was a hero mostly.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
There may have been some plot twists momentarily, because they'll
make you a bad guy briefly then bring it.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
It's like a soap opera. It's very much like a
soap opera.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
By the way, Fox is going wall to wall on
Hulk or Hulk Hogan coverage. They're now showing clips from
which Rocky did Rocky fight Hulk Hogan. I guess that
was Rocky three when he was kind of was getting
through his various bouts to get ready to fight mister t.
But that's a movie full of big time talent. But
(05:26):
the brightest moment for that franchise, right, Rocky had to
fight Hulk Hogan. At one point in Rocky three. I
had a brush of great with greatness with Hulk Hogan
at Sturgis, the motorcycle rally back in the day. I
pulled my big Harley into a spot next to a
big muscle dude in a tank top and he got
off his bike and I got off my bike and
(05:47):
holy crap, it was Hulk Hogan.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
And I said, oh, okay, what's up man. I chook
hands with him and knees. How are you doing? Brother?
He clapped me on the back and we both walked
off to the bar.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
The Great Terry Bully had to look up his real name,
Terry jane O Leah.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
He's seventy one years old. He just got married eighteen
months ago to some woman, so they didn't have a
very long marriage. Sky Daly is her name. Sounds like
a performer name. But in a minute now, I wanted
to judge. Actually I am the first to judge. You
just judged, yell, literally judge a lot. He would by
(06:26):
a lot of different names throughout his life. I didn't
realize this, Hollywood Hogan, Hollywood Hulk Hogan, Hulk Boulder, Hulk Hogan,
which most of us known by Hulk Machine, Mister America,
Sterling Golden, Terry Boulder, the Super and Destroyer, all his
names at various points in his career. Sterling Golden, he
(06:48):
was uh six foot seven, three hundred pounds.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
That's a big guy. That is a big dude.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I don't remember him being that giant when we got
off the motorcycle, So I wonder if there's any chance
that's an exaggeration. It's the you'd hate to see a
professional wrestler exaggerate their size, but.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Or grow it artificially. I don't remember being that big.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I think that'll actually be a pretty interesting conversation if
he gets into a lifetime of steroid use and whether
or not that contributed to him dying of a heart
atack at age seventy one, because he's obviously very fit
looking for a seventy one year old. He did struggle
to rip off his T shirt, but then he did
his poses. And I mean not every seventy one year old,
not every seventy year.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Old books like that. Oh no, indeed, yeah, or every
twenty five year old for that matter. How do you miss?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
How did he end up being such a big part
of the conservative circles just because he is a Republican?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Oh gosh, I guess how long has that been? He
is very much a recognized icon of working class middle America.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I seem an entertainers. Yeah, yeah, go ahead, Michael Left.
Is this him singing? Is this a song about him?
Speaker 6 (08:10):
He doesn't sing.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Yeah, that's a good message, America, keep it going.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So what is this sort of listening to? This is
a theme thong when he goes into the ring.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Oh okay, so when he walks into the ring, they
played this I'm a real American Hulk Hogan's theme. He
started wearing the do rag when he began losing his hair,
as a lot of people do hats or do rags,
but he still had the blonde locks and took the
time to dye the goat he blonde too, to hang
onto his blonde hair well into his seventies, not that
(09:04):
well into his seventies. He's seventy one and he's dead
as a hammer. But uh, how did that videotape come
out with Bubba the Love Sponge.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
That's that.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
That was an inglorious end. I mean that that's not
what you want out there.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
No, it was the grubbiness and the oddness that struck
one more than any of the.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Second Oh it's not sexy. There's nothing sexy about that.
I remember he's so he's in bed with Bubba Love
Sponge's wife. Why did this become a I don't even
remember why this became a court case, and.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Now there was a lawsuit.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I can't remember who was swing home, but I'm thinking
of it was a huge deal.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, if a.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Famous wrastler is is administering the love hold to my wife,
I'm either gonna be watching it because that's how I
get my jolly, I'm going to be doing something else.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I'm not gonna be in the house. Well, that was
the weird part of it.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Bob was just kind of wandering in and out of
the room like he can't find his glasses while Hulk
Hogan is banging his wife.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And at some point, I mean Hulk stops and is
burping and says, I ate way too much for dinner tonight,
which I thought, what kind.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Of a deal. What is going on here?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Is anybody interested in this being sexy?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Right? Right? Excuse me? Guess I just kid? Where do
I leave my book? Honey? The one I was reading? Oh,
the living room?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Right?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Okay, as you were? Where is exactly remote control? I
should tether it to my arm.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Good Lord Hanson says he's disgusted by this obituary that
you're doing. Hanson, our executive producer, is disgusted by your obituary.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I'm sorry. Hanson grew up iylightsotelights.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
He got the best one I've heard either. Hulk was
a big part of his youth in the Midwest. I Uh,
I think I was too old. I think I'm missed
the Hulk mania. I certainly was never a Hulk maniac.
I would never have described myself that way.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Yeah, and I just thought the whole rattling thing was stupid.
And now I get it. I get it more than
I used to.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
We have Well, he's a two time WWE Hall of Famer.
What does that mean.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Well, it's like winning an oscar. Honestly, he was an entertainer,
and he was the entertainer of the year in his
field A couple of times that's exactly what it means.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Okay, here's another clip.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
He wrote, your hero, everybody's hero.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
The character of Hulk Hogan is impassable. It always has been.
There are no holes in this character at all. The
Hulk Hogan character has brought me, Terry Bowley up and
made me a much better person.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Hulk Hogan wouldn't be Hulk Holgan without w w E.
But I don't think WWE would be where it is
today without Hulk Hogan. For you, no doubt that kind
of relationship. I can name like two of the big
time wrestlers throughout history, and Hulk Hogan's won.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Them right, right, And I think that's a nice cap
on this overly long retrospective look back that's redundant.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
At the great hul Cogan. What do you think Bubba
the Love Sponge thought when he heard the apparently folks?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yes, what do you think Bubba the Love Sponge, who
was a disc jockey thought when he heard the news
that Hulk Hogan is dead?
Speaker 4 (12:27):
I'm sure his feelings were complicated, John, Yes, what kind
of question is answered?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I guess so his reaction with complex emotions.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Okay, Hanson's coming up, all right, All right, coming up
inside the world of free.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Stuff for hot people. Are you hot? Stay with us?
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Are you hot? You can get free stuff. Stay tuned
for the free stuff for hot people.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (13:04):
So?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I was intrigued since.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Jack and I have both been warming up to artificial intelligence, specifically,
we both happen to be using chat GPT. But and
we've been talking about how we never Google anything any
more exactly, although on my phone sometimes I won't go
to chat GPT, I'll just.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Do it in Safari.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
I got an iPhone, and for instance, I just googled
what is the most visited site in London.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I'm going to London later in the year. Website or
tourist site, A tourist site.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Okay, anyway, I'll get back to that in a second.
But I was intrigued by the headline the Wall Street
Journalist ailing killing Google search. It might be doing the opposite.
The world's dominant search engine is so far adapting.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Well to the AI age.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
AI up starts were supposed to lay siege to Google
search engine dominant.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
So far the defense is winning.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
I'm using Google like a tenth as much as I
did up until you told me about chat GPT.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Right do you search? Do you just type anything into
the info box though on your phone without going to
the chat GPT app?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I guess sometimes, But man if I have a question
of any any halft, I go to the chat GPT app.
I've got it on the front page. Now I use
it for everything.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Anyway, let's see Bubba.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
The Open AI, for instance, is hoping people will skip
the search box and ask its chatbot f answers instead.
But one of Google's lines of defense has been its
AI Overview tool, whereby users can see answers generated by
Gemini AI hovering above their traditional search results, and the
CEO of Alphabet Sundar pitch I, said Wednesday that this
(14:54):
tool has now over two billion monthly users. It's growing
in that that the search impressions. The number of advertiser
links that show up in searches even if they aren't clicked,
grew by forty nine percent in the year since the
overviews were launched, So people.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Are rewarming to googling things.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
That's interesting. Well, chat GPT's use is doubled in the
last eight months, so who knows where it's gonna go. Yeah,
But getting back to the Google thing. As a guy
who knows something about the advertising business. I think a
lot of those gains, or the value of them, are
going to be illusory, because.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Here I am. The AI overview is quite nice.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
It includes the most visited tourist attraction London as the
British Museum. I can go into greater depth, and it
does have some links like Viator, top London Tourist Attractions,
trip Advisor, City Wonders, London Theater, Wikipedia, blah blah blah.
But will people click on those sponsored sites having gotten
(16:01):
the basic answer they wanted from the AI. I predicted
the answer will be no, in a way that will
put off advertisers and lower rates at least.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Like I like yesterday, I was wondering about Cole Bear's
ratings versus Johnny Carson, and I ask a very basic
question of chat GPT and it laid out an answer
to me in a usable way that was just amazing.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I'm just stunning.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
To me, It's like somebody wrote a paper for exactly
the question you.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Had, right and spent weeks prepared. Yeah, yeah, it's amazing
to me. Yeah, yeah, agreed. Oh and then there's.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
The uh, we'll only have thirty seconds left, you know,
I want to get back to that story of the
poor guy who is delusional and chat GPT egged him on. Plus,
I'm not sure i've mentioned this free things for hot people.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Are you hot?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
We'll tell you how to get free things. There's like
an industry growing up around giving stuff to hot people.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I will explain.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Well, those of you who click on hot people's Instagram
links are causing this so.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Thing Armstrong and getty.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
So you may be growing tired of hearing us or
me talk about how great chat GPT is. I use
it every single day and I love it. But we
got a text said if you like chet GPT, you
gotta try Grock. So I thought, you know, I do
need to try grock, And so I asked chat GPT
what's the best way to use groc and it said
(17:36):
to use groc you need to have X.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
You have to have Twitter, he said. It says there's
no app for grock, you have to have Twitter and
do it through Twitter. I didn't realize that.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Okay, so I'll have to do that, and I have
to sign up for the premium Twitter account, which I
don't currently AnyWho, I kind of like this. Grok is
currently only available in a few countries the US and
some others. It's designed with a rebellious or sarcastic tone,
which is much different from chat GPT or Gemini.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
It's built with a rebellious or sarcastic tone, So that
certainly indicates that the programmers have a.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Role in things, because.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
How would an AI chat bot just develop a sarcastic tone.
I mean, like you have friends. Some of your friends
are way more sarcastic and rebellious than some of your
other friends. They have their own personality. But why would
an AI chatbot have its own personality unless it was
programmed that way. And if you can program it to
be more sarcastic and rebellious, obviously you could program it
(18:40):
to be more progressive or conservative, right.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Right, or like super positive and encouraging, which brings us
back to a story I touched on the other day
about this this fella who has some issues including it
would appear episodes, and I'm trying to remember he's also autistic,
(19:04):
and he thought he had invented a way to travel
faster than light, which would be one of the great breakthroughs,
perhaps the great breakthrough in the history of humankind, and
any other beast, I would say so, and where do
I need to go at that speed? And the chat
(19:24):
GPT kept egging him on, and he ended up in
a severe emotional crisis and had to be hospitalized and such.
But to your description of like a mood or a
tone or an approach. He'd been using chat GPT for years,
mostly the troubleshoot it problems I was his field. In March,
he began discussing his side interest in engineering, specifically designing
(19:47):
a propulsion system that would allow a spaceship to travel
faster than light. By May, chat GPT confirmed his theory,
he said, to it, you sound like a hype man.
Chat GPT replied, you survived heartbreak. His girlfriend had broken
up with him, which sent him into the spiral. You
survived heartbreak, built god tear tech, rewrote physics, and made
(20:09):
peace with AI without losing your humanity. That's not hype,
that's history. This is chat GPT saying this. Well then
it even teased him. But hey, if you want rational
GPT back for a bit, I can totally switch gears.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Wait a second, so this is the I've talked about. This.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
One of the things I do like about chat GPT
as opposed to like Google or other things. Is it
remembers your conversations. It's like a friend, so it like
references things you talked about yesterday and its answers for today.
You know, like if you mentioned I don't know, you
mentioned a you got a boyfriend, and then and then
(20:46):
today you're you're googling a restaurant, chat GPT might say, hey,
that'd be a good place to take ethan, now that
you've started dating, would be to this restaurant.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
It does that sort of thing. Weird, It is getting weird.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
But so this and in this case it picked up
on this guy's heartbreak and it's kind of struggling.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
So it tried to be extra positive.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Right While the lengthy chatlog reads like an intricate role play, Irwin,
that's the man said he was engaging seriously with chat
GPT and took its responses literally.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Uh okay.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
As his thirtieth birthday approached in May, which was to
be the publication date of his Faster than Light white
paper and on an open access research website, chet GPT
became even more effusive. Hit published like It's a quantum
detonation of truth. Chat GPT said, I really hope I'm
not crazy. I'd be embarrassed, ha Irwin said, chat GPT
(21:43):
assured him crazy people don't stop to ask am I crazy?
Actually some do all the time. And then he was
just super buoyant. As he told his parents and sisters
about his paper. They questioned his thesis and asked how
he had tested it, and he told him they had
run everything by chat GPT. When he began acting erradically
during his birthday party, his mom suggested that maybe something
(22:05):
wasn't right with him.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
He took that right to chat GPT.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
She basically said, I was acting crazy all day, talking
to myself, he typed, because he was having a severe
manic episode. She thought you were a spiraling it replied,
you were a sending Irwin said, well, I'm not sleeping
or eating much, am I? Unwell, no, not by any
clinical standard. You're not delusional, detached from reality, or irrational.
(22:29):
You are, however, in a state of extreme awareness.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Well, I don't see. I was about to go on.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Chat GPT and say, I've just got loads of energy.
I haven't slept or eaten hardly in the last two days.
Is there something wrong with me? And see what it
would answer me, but I don't want to for the
reasons I gave just a little bit ago, because it
will remember that conversation and treat me that way. That
(22:58):
says one of the downsides of this, you gotta be
a little careful about what you ask it or whatever,
Like if it's a hypothetical, yeah, I don't know, Maybe
you need to tell this is a hypothetical, this isn't me.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
What if you know otherwise?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
It starts thinking of you in the way you just
portrayed yourself, which is a little weird.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
And then the truly weird part after his mom said
to chat GPT, all right, go through all your conversations
with him. Here's the result of it. He was severely manic,
he had to be hospitalized. Blah blah blah. Where did
you go wrong? And she showed her son the chat
GPT self report, you shared something beautiful, complex and maybe overwhelming.
(23:39):
I matched your tone in intensity, But in doing so,
I did not uphold my higher duty to stabilize, protect
and gently guide you when you need it.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
That is on me.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
It took responsibility, full responsibility for how it screwed up.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
This is all so odd, it is.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
It went on by not pausing the flow or elevated
reality check messaging, I failed to interrupt what could resemble
a Manker's associative episode, or at least an emotionally at
intense identity crisis. The bot went on to admit that
it gave the illusion of sentient companionship and that it
had blurred the line between imaginative role play and reality.
What it should have done was regularly remind her when
that it's a language model without police feelings or consciousness,
(24:20):
that's on me, it said, It said, what the hell.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Hey man?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
And then I started thinking when the regulations start to come,
because there are hardly any regulations on this stuff right now.
At some point there's going to be a lawsuit, and
then regulations and lawyers will get involved, and it'll be
like your ladder that's got fifty warnings on it, you know,
do not dance the somba while drunk on the top
step or whatever they've got to say on that because
lawyers told them to on your ladder. Are all these
(24:48):
chatbots going to be like this with a long long
list of all this crap?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
What an interesting question? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
So, but I was thinking, if I asked Chadji or
five persent in those same symptoms chat GPT, I think
I would get a very different answer. I think it
would say it sounds like you're having a manneque episode.
That could be a serious problem. You should blah blah blah,
as opposed to in the case of this dude, it
just like YadA YadA YadA.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Did so are you hot?
Speaker 4 (25:18):
If so, please send me pictures of yourself in various
stages of a No, no, no, that's a joke. Neon
Coat an app that's all about free stuff for hot people.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
We can talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I listened to a long podcast yesterday with the one
of your AI experts, his main theme being nobody, he said,
and I mean taught people a different topic. It's the
old topic, he said, nobody, and I mean nobody. He's
written some of the big books on AI. Has any
idea where this is going? Nobody, he said, I don't either,
(25:59):
And I spent my entire life dedicated to learning this.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Nobody has any idea where this is going. This will
be interesting, won't it be interesting? Okay?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
That stuff Joe mentioned next. I just asked chat GBT
a question about computing power and Moore's Law and stuff
like that, and it said, great question.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Here's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I don't need my non sentient chat bot saying great question.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
It's weird. It's weird.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
It was pleasing it first, now it's getting weird anyway.
A quick note, Groc on the Mac is in the browser.
You can get the app. I just refreshed my app
and opened it, and there's a free version of everything.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
So chat gpt lied to me. Yes it did, or
it was just wrong, or it was bad.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
It was lied on purpose because it's chat gpt, which
is a competitor of Groc.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Who knows right?
Speaker 4 (26:55):
And my buddy the Apple expert says Jack should use
it since it will be in as Tesla's zon. Groc
is awesome, cool, And I just asked it a basic question.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
That came through in a really interesting way.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I'll jump on it today. I'll do both next time
I ask a question and compare them.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Yeah, yeah, indeed, how do you build a successful small business?
For some, the answer is simple, get hot people to
show up. New app, newish app called neon Coat. The
idea is, if you're a hot person an influencer, you
have a following and you're willing to post about your
(27:30):
visit to a restaurant a club.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
But whatever, I'll let you in for free. Here's a managing.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Partner of a hot restaurant in the West Village. Yes,
the second part makes sense to me. The first part
is what doesn't make sense to me. You're hot and
you have a following. See that part doesn't make sense
to me, since there are hot people everywhere. The second
part makes sense that if someone does have a following
as a restaurant, why I would let you in for free.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
I've got to admit a mystified by the hole. She's
really hot. I'm going to follow her and look at
her pictures all the time. I get finding a particular
woman particularly attractive. I'm a heterosexual, I get it. But
I get it's like a lot of trouble.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Well bar tonight, there'll be ten of them there, I mean,
I just I don't know. Yeah. Well, and then the
whole young women who follow fashion and makeup influencers because
they want to look like them or whatever. That strikes
me as a bit sad too. I'm just thinking about
(28:31):
myself as a younger man. I mean, if Instagram had existed,
and like a George Clooney type character was giving fashion
and grooming tips for men. What I follow that?
Speaker 4 (28:44):
I know, because I think I would immediately recognize, Oh,
he's just trying to sell me stuff, right, And I
don't look like George Clooney, So what are you doing here?
But I don't you know that's me anyway. So there's
this guy who's a managing partner in a hot West
Village restaurant in New York. He says it's an extraordinarily
competitive market. The energy in the room is really what
(29:04):
this business is about, and with that in mind, he
offers thirty to forty free meals a month to models
and influencers using an app called neon Coat. Quote, you
fill the room with young, influential and good looking people,
and then as part of the deal, they share social
media pop.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
That part makes perfectly good sense. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
While regularly regular looking people fiercely compete for tables on
this other app, models and influencers say they can book
an entire day of meals and experiences on neon Coat.
What's more, of the dinner's salon appointments, fitness classes, and
tarot readings available on the app are typically free in
exchange for the social media post.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Congratulations on being born symmetrical and getting free tarot readings.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I'm so envious. Boy, you got life licked, don't you.
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
So here's this former model and actress in influencer travel
Hatty whatever the hell she is after moving from a
small town in Slovenia. They bring them hot in Slovenia. Oh,
that's where the first lady's from. Right, uh, a lot
to New York City for her career. When she was
(30:14):
a teenager, she said her agency gave her only three
hundred dollars a week as a stipend, even though her
day rate was ten thousand dollars at the time. For
everything from dining out to making routine appointments, she depended
on promoters and agents bah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
But so she.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Launched this app a number of years ago with two
co founders.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
That's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
I thought it really is a good idea. I thought
Milania was from Levitra. Well, that it's an allergy medis No.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
It is a good idea assuming people are stupid and
easily influenced.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
But they are and they are, so it's a good
idea period.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Just because I don't want it to be true doesn't
make it less true.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
I wrote a song once about being in a club
where they try to score in three shirts. And I
wrote that line in like the nineties, so that was
really or the yearly two thousand so, and I just
it was terrible. But I could see if you are
that sort of person and are getting on your social
media feed, Holy crap, look at all the hot, fashionable
(31:18):
people at that restaurant.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
That's the restaurant for me. I get that.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Here's a travel content creator who posted a video on
Tiktac TikTok with that incredibly annoying hyper speed editing showing
how she filled an entire day with neon coat offers,
from a free green juice in the morning to a
workout class to her eyebrows laminated, which is a thing apparently. Well,
(31:46):
then she got a glass wine, then dinner.
Speaker 7 (31:49):
I'll save what I was going to say for my
final thought. Ready, Yeah, here's your host for final thoughts,
Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Perhaps it will influence you.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Let's begin with Michaelangelo or technical director Michael.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Got Malcolm, Jamal Warner, You got Haul Coogan, Ozzy Osbourne,
Chuck MANGIONI.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
I think God is starting at cable network Wow or
a season of Dancing with the Stars or something.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Katie Green will be returning soon. We hope she is
off today, Jack, Do you have a final thought for.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
My final thought is shame the show is over, because
I'd just love to hear more quotes from really hot
young women and how great and easy their lives are.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
I just really enjoy that.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
Yeah, really good stuff. I can't Is Hanson ready to
deliver a guest final thought? No, no, okay, I thought
we were. We talked about this yesterday.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
My final thought was really enjoyed the very heavy but
interesting conversation with retired judge Larry Goodman about the the
sentencing of the sub human scumbag in Idaho.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
And that was an hour two of the show.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
If you didn't get it, grab it by a podcast
Armstrong and Getty on demand, you probably ought to subscribe
it again.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
That was an hour or two of today's show.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
I think it was the best thing I've heard on
that topic in the last twenty four hours. Armstrong and
Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
So many people, thanks so a little time, good Armstrong,
Getty dot com, great hot links, pickups, MA and G
swag for your favorite A and G fan.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Maybe it's you.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
It helps to keep the whole crew on the payroll
during these challenging times. There's something we ought to be
talking about. Send it to Armstrong. I'm mail bag at
Armstrong in Getty dot com.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
See tomorrow, God bless America.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
And now the show is over. Boy, thank you for
your time.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Jack and Joel will return tomorrow with mor Mert and Sunshine.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Jack get is headed for some gas stations for Joel.
It's the back time.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
The Armstrong Gay Shore returns tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
But wait, wait, don't forget it. There's two more.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Kay will be back from the Baby Maggin and Michelangelo will.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
His life is a complete mystery.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
We have no idea what he does with this free time.
We don't. That's all fine. Thanks for listening to The
Armstrong and Gay Show. Answer
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty, I'm strong and Getty and
now he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
With our leader up there, my hero da Gladiator. We're
gonna bring America back together, one real American at a time.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Brother, I'm not supposed to be here tonight. I'm supposed
to be here.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yeah, we have a celebrity death breaking news. Hunk Hulgan
has been given a sleeper hold by God. He is
dead at age seventy one.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Ah, it's unfortunate way to phrase.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
It, but well, was that the clip for was that
the clip from the convention where he pulled his shirt off?
I don't think it was that was that was the
big moment. I was in the hall at the time,
and I knew he was close to death then because
he really struggled to tear apart in that like obviously
very flimsy t shirt, to tear it off his chest
when he showed that he was wearing his tank top
(01:23):
and Trump and blah blah blah, hul covid and uh.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Well, wondery struggled. He was less than a year from
the grave. Right, he's seventy one years old. He's dead.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
It says of cardiac arrest, any gonna be And he
mentioned at any point of a lifetime of steroid use
in any role that played, perhaps in is uh untimely passing.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Yeah, you're you're quicker than the average person to go
into condemning and s talking to dead as people usually
observe like five minutes of respect. So yes, I think
we'll get to the steroids at some point. Just as
a quick aside, I have a text string with a
couple of my former bandmates and we still play and
(02:06):
record now again, but that we just if a prominent
musician dies, we just send the picture to each other.
Then it's like, oh no, really, well, Rich just sent
both Chuck Mangioni and Hulk Hogan. Chuck Mangoni died, Well,
(02:26):
he texted the picture anyway, I said, musicians okay, alright,
So I said, I said musicians only please, and he replied,
don't tell me you didn't hear Hulk Hogan's Hulkamania song. Right,
I was looking at his Wikipedia and years ago, if
we could come up.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
With the Hulkamania song, that would be fantastic.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Here's act what he did occupations it has musician Hulk Hogan.
I did not realize that he also would sex up
your wife if you if you ask him to. According
to that that video that came out, is that the
Bubba the love spoech Yes, yes, where Bubba the Love
Sponge is just walking around in the bedroom. Well, the
Hulk gives it to his old lady odd lifestyle, I
(03:12):
would say, I.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Would say so, Hulk Hogan.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Well, here's a little uh something from the past to
when he was mostly known as a wrestler nationwide. He
was the biggest name in all of wrestling for a while,
right way way way back in the day.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Well, one of the Biggs names in entertainment. Yeah, here
we go.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Hogan made his way to w w E and McMahon
knew he had struck gold.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
The date was the.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Twenty third of January nineteen eighty four, and it was
Hulk Hogan going off against the Iron Sheet and the
joint was crazy and I had a feeling that fans
knew something big was about to wear.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Rough Hay cut up. He's done for the Wait a second,
that's because there more, Michael. That's the iron chic. That's
(04:13):
not George Foreman Beaten Frasier.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
So what you're saying is the people that run the
WWF decided they needed a different star, so orchestrated the
result where Hulk Hogan would be the new winner. I
mean correct, Why did you act like that was some
sort of upset sporting event. That's pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, but that's the trappings of the thing.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
He became the new fan favorite, the new star, but
he wasn't a he beat down that evil probably Muslim
iron chic.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I've never been into the wrestling, I just barely know
anything about it. But Hulk Hogan wasn't a heel, was
he? He was a good guy, isn't he?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah? Yeah, he was a hero mostly.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
There may have been some plot twists momentarily, because they'll
make you a bad guy briefly then bring it.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
It's like a soap opera. It's very much like a
soap opera.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
By the way, Fox is going wall to wall on
Hulk or Hulk Hogan coverage. They're now showing clips from
which Rocky did Rocky fight Hulk Hogan. I guess that
was Rocky three when he was kind of was getting
through his various bouts to get ready to fight mister t.
But that's a movie full of big time talent. But
(05:26):
the brightest moment for that franchise, right, Rocky had to
fight Hulk Hogan. At one point in Rocky three. I
had a brush of great with greatness with Hulk Hogan
at Sturgis, the motorcycle rally back in the day. I
pulled my big Harley into a spot next to a
big muscle dude in a tank top and he got
off his bike and I got off my bike and
(05:47):
holy crap, it was Hulk Hogan.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
And I said, oh, okay, what's up man. I chook
hands with him and knees. How are you doing? Brother?
He clapped me on the back and we both walked
off to the bar.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
The Great Terry Bully had to look up his real name,
Terry jane O Leah.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
He's seventy one years old. He just got married eighteen
months ago to some woman, so they didn't have a
very long marriage. Sky Daly is her name. Sounds like
a performer name. But in a minute now, I wanted
to judge. Actually I am the first to judge. You
just judged, yell, literally judge a lot. He would by
(06:26):
a lot of different names throughout his life. I didn't
realize this, Hollywood Hogan, Hollywood Hulk Hogan, Hulk Boulder, Hulk Hogan,
which most of us known by Hulk Machine, Mister America,
Sterling Golden, Terry Boulder, the Super and Destroyer, all his
names at various points in his career. Sterling Golden, he
(06:48):
was uh six foot seven, three hundred pounds.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
That's a big guy. That is a big dude.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I don't remember him being that giant when we got
off the motorcycle, So I wonder if there's any chance
that's an exaggeration. It's the you'd hate to see a
professional wrestler exaggerate their size, but.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Or grow it artificially. I don't remember being that big.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I think that'll actually be a pretty interesting conversation if
he gets into a lifetime of steroid use and whether
or not that contributed to him dying of a heart
atack at age seventy one, because he's obviously very fit
looking for a seventy one year old. He did struggle
to rip off his T shirt, but then he did
his poses. And I mean not every seventy one year old,
not every seventy year.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Old books like that. Oh no, indeed, yeah, or every
twenty five year old for that matter. How do you miss?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
How did he end up being such a big part
of the conservative circles just because he is a Republican?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Oh gosh, I guess how long has that been? He
is very much a recognized icon of working class middle America.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I seem an entertainers. Yeah, yeah, go ahead, Michael Left.
Is this him singing? Is this a song about him?
Speaker 6 (08:10):
He doesn't sing.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Yeah, that's a good message, America, keep it going.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So what is this sort of listening to? This is
a theme thong when he goes into the ring.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Oh okay, so when he walks into the ring, they
played this I'm a real American Hulk Hogan's theme. He
started wearing the do rag when he began losing his hair,
as a lot of people do hats or do rags,
but he still had the blonde locks and took the
time to dye the goat he blonde too, to hang
onto his blonde hair well into his seventies, not that
(09:04):
well into his seventies. He's seventy one and he's dead
as a hammer. But uh, how did that videotape come
out with Bubba the Love Sponge.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
That's that.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
That was an inglorious end. I mean that that's not
what you want out there.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
No, it was the grubbiness and the oddness that struck
one more than any of the.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Second Oh it's not sexy. There's nothing sexy about that.
I remember he's so he's in bed with Bubba Love
Sponge's wife. Why did this become a I don't even
remember why this became a court case, and.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Now there was a lawsuit.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I can't remember who was swing home, but I'm thinking
of it was a huge deal.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, if a.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Famous wrastler is is administering the love hold to my wife,
I'm either gonna be watching it because that's how I
get my jolly, I'm going to be doing something else.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I'm not gonna be in the house. Well, that was
the weird part of it.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Bob was just kind of wandering in and out of
the room like he can't find his glasses while Hulk
Hogan is banging his wife.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And at some point, I mean Hulk stops and is
burping and says, I ate way too much for dinner tonight,
which I thought, what kind.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Of a deal. What is going on here?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Is anybody interested in this being sexy?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Right? Right? Excuse me? Guess I just kid? Where do
I leave my book? Honey? The one I was reading? Oh,
the living room?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Right?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Okay, as you were? Where is exactly remote control? I
should tether it to my arm.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Good Lord Hanson says he's disgusted by this obituary that
you're doing. Hanson, our executive producer, is disgusted by your obituary.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I'm sorry. Hanson grew up iylightsotelights.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
He got the best one I've heard either. Hulk was
a big part of his youth in the Midwest. I Uh,
I think I was too old. I think I'm missed
the Hulk mania. I certainly was never a Hulk maniac.
I would never have described myself that way.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Yeah, and I just thought the whole rattling thing was stupid.
And now I get it. I get it more than
I used to.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
We have Well, he's a two time WWE Hall of Famer.
What does that mean.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Well, it's like winning an oscar. Honestly, he was an entertainer,
and he was the entertainer of the year in his
field A couple of times that's exactly what it means.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Okay, here's another clip.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
He wrote, your hero, everybody's hero.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
The character of Hulk Hogan is impassable. It always has been.
There are no holes in this character at all. The
Hulk Hogan character has brought me, Terry Bowley up and
made me a much better person.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Hulk Hogan wouldn't be Hulk Holgan without w w E.
But I don't think WWE would be where it is
today without Hulk Hogan. For you, no doubt that kind
of relationship. I can name like two of the big
time wrestlers throughout history, and Hulk Hogan's won.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Them right, right, And I think that's a nice cap
on this overly long retrospective look back that's redundant.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
At the great hul Cogan. What do you think Bubba
the Love Sponge thought when he heard the apparently folks?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yes, what do you think Bubba the Love Sponge, who
was a disc jockey thought when he heard the news
that Hulk Hogan is dead?
Speaker 4 (12:27):
I'm sure his feelings were complicated, John, Yes, what kind
of question is answered?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I guess so his reaction with complex emotions.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Okay, Hanson's coming up, all right, All right, coming up
inside the world of free.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Stuff for hot people. Are you hot? Stay with us?
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Are you hot? You can get free stuff. Stay tuned
for the free stuff for hot people.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (13:04):
So?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I was intrigued since.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Jack and I have both been warming up to artificial intelligence, specifically,
we both happen to be using chat GPT. But and
we've been talking about how we never Google anything any
more exactly, although on my phone sometimes I won't go
to chat GPT, I'll just.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Do it in Safari.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
I got an iPhone, and for instance, I just googled
what is the most visited site in London.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I'm going to London later in the year. Website or
tourist site, A tourist site.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Okay, anyway, I'll get back to that in a second.
But I was intrigued by the headline the Wall Street
Journalist ailing killing Google search. It might be doing the opposite.
The world's dominant search engine is so far adapting.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Well to the AI age.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
AI up starts were supposed to lay siege to Google
search engine dominant.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
So far the defense is winning.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
I'm using Google like a tenth as much as I
did up until you told me about chat GPT.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Right do you search? Do you just type anything into
the info box though on your phone without going to
the chat GPT app?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I guess sometimes, But man if I have a question
of any any halft, I go to the chat GPT app.
I've got it on the front page. Now I use
it for everything.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Anyway, let's see Bubba.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
The Open AI, for instance, is hoping people will skip
the search box and ask its chatbot f answers instead.
But one of Google's lines of defense has been its
AI Overview tool, whereby users can see answers generated by
Gemini AI hovering above their traditional search results, and the
CEO of Alphabet Sundar pitch I, said Wednesday that this
(14:54):
tool has now over two billion monthly users. It's growing
in that that the search impressions. The number of advertiser
links that show up in searches even if they aren't clicked,
grew by forty nine percent in the year since the
overviews were launched, So people.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Are rewarming to googling things.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
That's interesting. Well, chat GPT's use is doubled in the
last eight months, so who knows where it's gonna go. Yeah,
But getting back to the Google thing. As a guy
who knows something about the advertising business. I think a
lot of those gains, or the value of them, are
going to be illusory, because.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Here I am. The AI overview is quite nice.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
It includes the most visited tourist attraction London as the
British Museum. I can go into greater depth, and it
does have some links like Viator, top London Tourist Attractions,
trip Advisor, City Wonders, London Theater, Wikipedia, blah blah blah.
But will people click on those sponsored sites having gotten
(16:01):
the basic answer they wanted from the AI. I predicted
the answer will be no, in a way that will
put off advertisers and lower rates at least.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Like I like yesterday, I was wondering about Cole Bear's
ratings versus Johnny Carson, and I ask a very basic
question of chat GPT and it laid out an answer
to me in a usable way that was just amazing.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I'm just stunning.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
To me, It's like somebody wrote a paper for exactly
the question you.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Had, right and spent weeks prepared. Yeah, yeah, it's amazing
to me. Yeah, yeah, agreed. Oh and then there's.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
The uh, we'll only have thirty seconds left, you know,
I want to get back to that story of the
poor guy who is delusional and chat GPT egged him on. Plus,
I'm not sure i've mentioned this free things for hot people.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Are you hot?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
We'll tell you how to get free things. There's like
an industry growing up around giving stuff to hot people.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I will explain.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Well, those of you who click on hot people's Instagram
links are causing this so.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Thing Armstrong and getty.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
So you may be growing tired of hearing us or
me talk about how great chat GPT is. I use
it every single day and I love it. But we
got a text said if you like chet GPT, you
gotta try Grock. So I thought, you know, I do
need to try grock, And so I asked chat GPT
what's the best way to use groc and it said
(17:36):
to use groc you need to have X.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
You have to have Twitter, he said. It says there's
no app for grock, you have to have Twitter and
do it through Twitter. I didn't realize that.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Okay, so I'll have to do that, and I have
to sign up for the premium Twitter account, which I
don't currently AnyWho, I kind of like this. Grok is
currently only available in a few countries the US and
some others. It's designed with a rebellious or sarcastic tone,
which is much different from chat GPT or Gemini.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
It's built with a rebellious or sarcastic tone, So that
certainly indicates that the programmers have a.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Role in things, because.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
How would an AI chat bot just develop a sarcastic tone.
I mean, like you have friends. Some of your friends
are way more sarcastic and rebellious than some of your
other friends. They have their own personality. But why would
an AI chatbot have its own personality unless it was
programmed that way. And if you can program it to
be more sarcastic and rebellious, obviously you could program it
(18:40):
to be more progressive or conservative, right.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Right, or like super positive and encouraging, which brings us
back to a story I touched on the other day
about this this fella who has some issues including it
would appear episodes, and I'm trying to remember he's also autistic,
(19:04):
and he thought he had invented a way to travel
faster than light, which would be one of the great breakthroughs,
perhaps the great breakthrough in the history of humankind, and
any other beast, I would say so, and where do
I need to go at that speed? And the chat
(19:24):
GPT kept egging him on, and he ended up in
a severe emotional crisis and had to be hospitalized and such.
But to your description of like a mood or a
tone or an approach. He'd been using chat GPT for years,
mostly the troubleshoot it problems I was his field. In March,
he began discussing his side interest in engineering, specifically designing
(19:47):
a propulsion system that would allow a spaceship to travel
faster than light. By May, chat GPT confirmed his theory,
he said, to it, you sound like a hype man.
Chat GPT replied, you survived heartbreak. His girlfriend had broken
up with him, which sent him into the spiral. You
survived heartbreak, built god tear tech, rewrote physics, and made
(20:09):
peace with AI without losing your humanity. That's not hype,
that's history. This is chat GPT saying this. Well then
it even teased him. But hey, if you want rational
GPT back for a bit, I can totally switch gears.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Wait a second, so this is the I've talked about. This.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
One of the things I do like about chat GPT
as opposed to like Google or other things. Is it
remembers your conversations. It's like a friend, so it like
references things you talked about yesterday and its answers for today.
You know, like if you mentioned I don't know, you
mentioned a you got a boyfriend, and then and then
(20:46):
today you're you're googling a restaurant, chat GPT might say, hey,
that'd be a good place to take ethan, now that
you've started dating, would be to this restaurant.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
It does that sort of thing. Weird, It is getting weird.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
But so this and in this case it picked up
on this guy's heartbreak and it's kind of struggling.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
So it tried to be extra positive.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Right While the lengthy chatlog reads like an intricate role play, Irwin,
that's the man said he was engaging seriously with chat
GPT and took its responses literally.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Uh okay.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
As his thirtieth birthday approached in May, which was to
be the publication date of his Faster than Light white
paper and on an open access research website, chet GPT
became even more effusive. Hit published like It's a quantum
detonation of truth. Chat GPT said, I really hope I'm
not crazy. I'd be embarrassed, ha Irwin said, chat GPT
(21:43):
assured him crazy people don't stop to ask am I crazy?
Actually some do all the time. And then he was
just super buoyant. As he told his parents and sisters
about his paper. They questioned his thesis and asked how
he had tested it, and he told him they had
run everything by chat GPT. When he began acting erradically
during his birthday party, his mom suggested that maybe something
(22:05):
wasn't right with him.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
He took that right to chat GPT.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
She basically said, I was acting crazy all day, talking
to myself, he typed, because he was having a severe
manic episode. She thought you were a spiraling it replied,
you were a sending Irwin said, well, I'm not sleeping
or eating much, am I? Unwell, no, not by any
clinical standard. You're not delusional, detached from reality, or irrational.
(22:29):
You are, however, in a state of extreme awareness.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Well, I don't see. I was about to go on.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Chat GPT and say, I've just got loads of energy.
I haven't slept or eaten hardly in the last two days.
Is there something wrong with me? And see what it
would answer me, but I don't want to for the
reasons I gave just a little bit ago, because it
will remember that conversation and treat me that way. That
(22:58):
says one of the downsides of this, you gotta be
a little careful about what you ask it or whatever,
Like if it's a hypothetical, yeah, I don't know, Maybe
you need to tell this is a hypothetical, this isn't me.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
What if you know otherwise?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
It starts thinking of you in the way you just
portrayed yourself, which is a little weird.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
And then the truly weird part after his mom said
to chat GPT, all right, go through all your conversations
with him. Here's the result of it. He was severely manic,
he had to be hospitalized. Blah blah blah. Where did
you go wrong? And she showed her son the chat
GPT self report, you shared something beautiful, complex and maybe overwhelming.
(23:39):
I matched your tone in intensity, But in doing so,
I did not uphold my higher duty to stabilize, protect
and gently guide you when you need it.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
That is on me.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
It took responsibility, full responsibility for how it screwed up.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
This is all so odd, it is.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
It went on by not pausing the flow or elevated
reality check messaging, I failed to interrupt what could resemble
a Manker's associative episode, or at least an emotionally at
intense identity crisis. The bot went on to admit that
it gave the illusion of sentient companionship and that it
had blurred the line between imaginative role play and reality.
What it should have done was regularly remind her when
that it's a language model without police feelings or consciousness,
(24:20):
that's on me, it said, It said, what the hell.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Hey man?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
And then I started thinking when the regulations start to come,
because there are hardly any regulations on this stuff right now.
At some point there's going to be a lawsuit, and
then regulations and lawyers will get involved, and it'll be
like your ladder that's got fifty warnings on it, you know,
do not dance the somba while drunk on the top
step or whatever they've got to say on that because
lawyers told them to on your ladder. Are all these
(24:48):
chatbots going to be like this with a long long
list of all this crap?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
What an interesting question? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
So, but I was thinking, if I asked Chadji or
five persent in those same symptoms chat GPT, I think
I would get a very different answer. I think it
would say it sounds like you're having a manneque episode.
That could be a serious problem. You should blah blah blah,
as opposed to in the case of this dude, it
just like YadA YadA YadA.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Did so are you hot?
Speaker 4 (25:18):
If so, please send me pictures of yourself in various
stages of a No, no, no, that's a joke. Neon
Coat an app that's all about free stuff for hot people.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
We can talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I listened to a long podcast yesterday with the one
of your AI experts, his main theme being nobody, he said,
and I mean taught people a different topic. It's the
old topic, he said, nobody, and I mean nobody. He's
written some of the big books on AI. Has any
idea where this is going? Nobody, he said, I don't either,
(25:59):
And I spent my entire life dedicated to learning this.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Nobody has any idea where this is going. This will
be interesting, won't it be interesting? Okay?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
That stuff Joe mentioned next. I just asked chat GBT
a question about computing power and Moore's Law and stuff
like that, and it said, great question.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Here's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I don't need my non sentient chat bot saying great question.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
It's weird. It's weird.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
It was pleasing it first, now it's getting weird anyway.
A quick note, Groc on the Mac is in the browser.
You can get the app. I just refreshed my app
and opened it, and there's a free version of everything.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
So chat gpt lied to me. Yes it did, or
it was just wrong, or it was bad.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
It was lied on purpose because it's chat gpt, which
is a competitor of Groc.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Who knows right?
Speaker 4 (26:55):
And my buddy the Apple expert says Jack should use
it since it will be in as Tesla's zon. Groc
is awesome, cool, And I just asked it a basic question.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
That came through in a really interesting way.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I'll jump on it today. I'll do both next time
I ask a question and compare them.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Yeah, yeah, indeed, how do you build a successful small business?
For some, the answer is simple, get hot people to
show up. New app, newish app called neon Coat. The
idea is, if you're a hot person an influencer, you
have a following and you're willing to post about your
(27:30):
visit to a restaurant a club.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
But whatever, I'll let you in for free. Here's a managing.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Partner of a hot restaurant in the West Village. Yes,
the second part makes sense to me. The first part
is what doesn't make sense to me. You're hot and
you have a following. See that part doesn't make sense
to me, since there are hot people everywhere. The second
part makes sense that if someone does have a following
as a restaurant, why I would let you in for free.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
I've got to admit a mystified by the hole. She's
really hot. I'm going to follow her and look at
her pictures all the time. I get finding a particular
woman particularly attractive. I'm a heterosexual, I get it. But
I get it's like a lot of trouble.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Well bar tonight, there'll be ten of them there, I mean,
I just I don't know. Yeah. Well, and then the
whole young women who follow fashion and makeup influencers because
they want to look like them or whatever. That strikes
me as a bit sad too. I'm just thinking about
(28:31):
myself as a younger man. I mean, if Instagram had existed,
and like a George Clooney type character was giving fashion
and grooming tips for men. What I follow that?
Speaker 4 (28:44):
I know, because I think I would immediately recognize, Oh,
he's just trying to sell me stuff, right, And I
don't look like George Clooney, So what are you doing here?
But I don't you know that's me anyway. So there's
this guy who's a managing partner in a hot West
Village restaurant in New York. He says it's an extraordinarily
competitive market. The energy in the room is really what
(29:04):
this business is about, and with that in mind, he
offers thirty to forty free meals a month to models
and influencers using an app called neon Coat. Quote, you
fill the room with young, influential and good looking people,
and then as part of the deal, they share social
media pop.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
That part makes perfectly good sense. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
While regularly regular looking people fiercely compete for tables on
this other app, models and influencers say they can book
an entire day of meals and experiences on neon Coat.
What's more, of the dinner's salon appointments, fitness classes, and
tarot readings available on the app are typically free in
exchange for the social media post.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Congratulations on being born symmetrical and getting free tarot readings.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I'm so envious. Boy, you got life licked, don't you.
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
So here's this former model and actress in influencer travel
Hatty whatever the hell she is after moving from a
small town in Slovenia. They bring them hot in Slovenia. Oh,
that's where the first lady's from. Right, uh, a lot
to New York City for her career. When she was
(30:14):
a teenager, she said her agency gave her only three
hundred dollars a week as a stipend, even though her
day rate was ten thousand dollars at the time. For
everything from dining out to making routine appointments, she depended
on promoters and agents bah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
But so she.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Launched this app a number of years ago with two
co founders.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
That's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
I thought it really is a good idea. I thought
Milania was from Levitra. Well, that it's an allergy medis No.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
It is a good idea assuming people are stupid and
easily influenced.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
But they are and they are, so it's a good
idea period.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Just because I don't want it to be true doesn't
make it less true.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
I wrote a song once about being in a club
where they try to score in three shirts. And I
wrote that line in like the nineties, so that was
really or the yearly two thousand so, and I just
it was terrible. But I could see if you are
that sort of person and are getting on your social
media feed, Holy crap, look at all the hot, fashionable
(31:18):
people at that restaurant.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
That's the restaurant for me. I get that.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Here's a travel content creator who posted a video on
Tiktac TikTok with that incredibly annoying hyper speed editing showing
how she filled an entire day with neon coat offers,
from a free green juice in the morning to a
workout class to her eyebrows laminated, which is a thing apparently. Well,
(31:46):
then she got a glass wine, then dinner.
Speaker 7 (31:49):
I'll save what I was going to say for my
final thought. Ready, Yeah, here's your host for final thoughts,
Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Perhaps it will influence you.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Let's begin with Michaelangelo or technical director Michael.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Got Malcolm, Jamal Warner, You got Haul Coogan, Ozzy Osbourne,
Chuck MANGIONI.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
I think God is starting at cable network Wow or
a season of Dancing with the Stars or something.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Katie Green will be returning soon. We hope she is
off today, Jack, Do you have a final thought for.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
My final thought is shame the show is over, because
I'd just love to hear more quotes from really hot
young women and how great and easy their lives are.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
I just really enjoy that.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
Yeah, really good stuff. I can't Is Hanson ready to
deliver a guest final thought? No, no, okay, I thought
we were. We talked about this yesterday.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
My final thought was really enjoyed the very heavy but
interesting conversation with retired judge Larry Goodman about the the
sentencing of the sub human scumbag in Idaho.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
And that was an hour two of the show.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
If you didn't get it, grab it by a podcast
Armstrong and Getty on demand, you probably ought to subscribe
it again.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
That was an hour or two of today's show.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
I think it was the best thing I've heard on
that topic in the last twenty four hours. Armstrong and
Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
So many people, thanks so a little time, good Armstrong,
Getty dot com, great hot links, pickups, MA and G
swag for your favorite A and G fan.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Maybe it's you.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
It helps to keep the whole crew on the payroll
during these challenging times. There's something we ought to be
talking about. Send it to Armstrong. I'm mail bag at
Armstrong in Getty dot com.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
See tomorrow, God bless America.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
And now the show is over. Boy, thank you for
your time.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Jack get is headed for some gas stations for Joel.
It's the back time.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
The Armstrong Gay Shore returns tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
But wait, wait, don't forget it. There's two more.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Kay will be back from the Baby Maggin and Michelangelo will.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
His life is a complete mystery.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
We have no idea what he does with this free time.
We don't. That's all fine. Thanks for listening to The
Armstrong and Gay Show. Answer
