Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty, I'm Strong
and Jack Katie and he Armstrong and Eddy.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I don't know if I see it being effective. Honestly,
kids are very clever at getting around these and you know,
I totally understand that, Like, what are you going to
do if you're a platform and a twelve year old,
fourteen year old signs up and says they're twenty five? Like,
are you going to require ID from everyone who signs
up for your platform?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Probably not.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
If you take those platforms away, what they're going to
do is find other platforms that are outside the bounds
of what this law covers.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Okay, So that's somebody that's against the new Virginia law
that limits miners to one hour of social media in
a and this has a bit of can't do attitude.
I thought there. I mean, I understand her point that
it's going to be.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Jen Golback, professor at the University of Maryland's College of Information.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I understand that it's going to be difficult to do,
but I don't like the dismissive. So let's not try
anything attitude she seems to have.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Boy, you're gonna hate this, then it's completely unworkable.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I'm sure it's very unworkable.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
And I think I would call it, and I hate
to use the term publicity stunt, because I agree with
you completely in principle. Governor Younkins signed amendment to the
Consumer ed Ada Protection Act that bars miners under the
age sixteen from using social media for more than an
hour a day, while requiring parents to give verifiable consent
if they want to increase or decrease the daily time limit,
(01:43):
and platforms have to take a neutral approach to asking
one's age to create account.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Blap bavah.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
It's just there's no way to implement it logistically, but
if it gets people talking about it. I'm generally against
passing unenforceable laws because they we can respect for and
come clients.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
For with all laws.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Mostly that's the point that's mostly true, almost certainly true.
But like I can think of one example we use
all the time, nobody really enforces prostitution laws. We have
them on the books, so it just doesn't get out
of hand in cities all across America. Maybe this will
be that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yeah, if I was going to be like a constitutional
hard ass, I'd say this is a ridiculous unenforceablah blah blah.
But no. But the concern for young people is so
incredibly important. It's and deep that I appreciate somebody trying something.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
So they always talk about social media and how damaging
that is for young people. My kids, I don't think
are on social media because they don't do TikTok, they
don't have Instagram accounts.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Facebook.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Is texting considered social media? No, I don't think so.
It's just texting with your friends.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
So yeah, it's my boy connectedness. It's a cousin to it.
My boys don't just they just don't have any interest
in it. I mean they know I won't allow it,
but they don't have any interest in it really either.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Yeah. That reminds me of a couple of things. Number One,
the absolute poster humans. They're not children for the online
rot of humanity, have been singled out, they've been actually
convicted of something. Their names should be household names, and
parents should teach their teach their children don't be a
(03:26):
these guys' names. I'll explain that in a minute second
thing is some of the reactions coming into Mark Zuckerberg's
interviews and speeches lately, in which he's said that soon
most people's friends, most of their friends will be AI companions.
And my favorite comment was, oh my god, the phenomenon
that has brought isolation, depression, anxiety, and suicide upon humanity.
(03:49):
The guy who brought us that in the biggest, you know,
most commonly used forms is now explaining to us that
it's a good thing and we should do it more.
The arsonist has become the fireman great? What ever happened
to him? Fight in Elon? I wanted them to fight.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I want I want Elon to sit on Zuckerberg on
television pay per view.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I or choke him out. Yeah, yeah, I don't. I
have not been working the just a Titans fight beat.
He just brought up Zuckerberg in something my own, why can't?
I was just thinking, in what way can he get
punched in the face? And I think and probably be
the best way to go about it. But are you
would all familiar with the story of the beloved sycamore
(04:30):
gap tree in Britain.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
No, this is a.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Hundreds of years old sycamore tree that is perfectly framed
by two little hills by the ruins of Hadrian's Wall
that was a Roman era wall in Northumberland and Northeast England.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Think I have come across this before.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
It actually is featured in one of the robin Hood movies,
robin Hood Prince of thieve Eaves as a symbol of
the region.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Is that the n robin Hood I think it is? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Yeah, In fact, yeah, there it is, nineteen ninety one
movie with Kevin Costner. Yeah, but so not the Andre
the Giant robin Hood Princess Brian. Right, that's kind of
Is that a robin Hood, That's not robin Hood. No,
it's different men in tights but different Okay, shares themes?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Gotcha? Anyway? Where was I? Oh?
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Now, as an alleged wordsmith, I shouldn't have to resort
to obscenities, but in telling his story, I really want
to use them. These two guys in Newcastle, England, Adam Carruthers,
aged thirty two and Daniel Graham, age thirty nine, were
found guilty of two counts of criminal destruction and damaging
(05:47):
and UNESCO World Heritage Site. They purely to have something
that would go viral on the internet.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Cut down this hundreds of years old tree draw and
quarter them that so many people went to see take
pictures of one of the most scenic and just It's
difficult to explain why people loved it so much. It
was the mingling of history, the ancient world life symmetry
(06:17):
for a beautiful landscape, blah blah blah, and these guys
just to get momentary internet fame. Cut the thing down.
It's like the big balancing rock in Moab. Where is it?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Remember a couple of years ago some people posted it
over God, Yeah, same reason.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Yeah, I want those people executed crushed. Yes, that's fine.
You can pick the method of execution. The more medieval
the better. A as an unmistakable and horrifying warning to
anybody else who even contemplates such an act of destructive stupidity.
B to rid humanity of their presence, and c to
(06:56):
make sure they never reproduce take their eyes like the
crushing begin I'm not sure you have to take their
eyes out, but you know again, I guess I entrusted
you with choosing the method, so I'll back off. But yeah,
whatever you want to come up with to do to
these idiots, because anybody with any sense and conscience understands
(07:18):
we could.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
All reck stuff, break stuff. I hate vandalism so much.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
And then at this level, like I was just thinking
of all the things that my kids could go wrong,
This would be like at the practically the top of
the list of things.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Would be disappointed if my kids ended up like this
sort of person.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
I wish it were the sort of saying like takes
one to know one that everybody knows those two stupid
and useless to build things break things.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, that hurts your heart, doesn't it. How old were they?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
I'd like to see them chainsaw it in half thirty
two and thirty nine.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Oh my god, so they're not even teenagers. Yeah, freaking morons.
And they are such morons. The one guy blamed the
other guy. He said, yeah, he used my car and
my phone.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I wasn't there.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
That's why the tracking shows me there like the entire time,
exactly when the tree was cut down. I lent in
my car and my phone. The other guy said, I
didn't do it. Yeah, I know, sorry that that broke
our spirits. I heard on a Friday and we got
a new pope and everything.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Michael transition music. I apologize to the audience, my my friends,
my coworkers, haven't the entire apologized to my parents, my siblings,
my wife, my children.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yes, I ain't got no cigarette. What's underrated in this track?
The organ?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Oh that is pretty cool, that's pretty restrained. So we
just lost a Supreme Court justice. David Souter died at
the age of eighty five hour or so ago. He's
one of the famous if you don't know this, appointed
by a Republican turned super lefty hero to liberals everywhere
(09:17):
when that happens on a regular basis. But while we're
on the topic of Supreme Court justices, the first eight
arguments have occurred this year.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
He's retired, by the way, for folks not familiar, just
yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
So it's not like Trump gets to a point of
now on no no, no, yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
The first eight arguments of the year.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
The total word count is in or where we are
in this Supreme Court season and similar to last season,
the newest and certainly by anybody who leans right, most
disliked justice spoke by far the most words. Katanji Brown
Jackson spoke over eleven thousand words. Second place is four thousand,
(09:57):
with Amy Cony Barrett.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Wow, how utterly appropriate for a philosophy that young college
students who have not sniffed even a day of real
adulthood tell the rest of us how to run the world,
that she of that philosophy decides to take over the
Supreme Courtoral arguments.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Barrett, So, Tomar and Kagan are pretty much tied around
forty four hundreds. Yeah, I mean some period types come
from somewhere, So one through four are.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yappy chicks. I mean, what do you what?
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Do you what?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Little? How else do I say?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Justice set's It's also interesting that you know, at the
top end you got the most liberal person on there,
and at the bottom end Clarence Thomas said ninety six
flipping words, and like six of them will get me
a diet coke.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
He's hungry. He's the most conservative.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
He spoke ninety six, then Alito under a thousand, then Kavanaugh.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
But how is so weird that it tracks I know
perfectly but so well with conservatism v.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Liberalism.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
And I've just because I've known a few people like
this in my life my chromosome.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Oh yes, just the people that talk so much more
than everybody else.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
And I've often thought like, I never go out to
eat with anybody anymore. Thank god, that pretty in my
life seems to be over. But I went out to
each just last night and it was delightful. The only
interruptions were to greet friends. Oh wonderful. I've been at
dinner tables before where like one person is like the
Katanji Brown Jackson. They they they do eighty percent of
(11:43):
the talking in a group of six, And I always think,
how do you not notice, yeah, that there are six
people here and you're doing the talking of almost everybody
for the whole evening. How do you not notice? Or
did nobody ever point that out throughout your life or
or what?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Yes, ball hogs don't know their ball hogs until it's
pointed out to them.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
But on the Supreme Court thing they compile this stuff
every session. I would think it somehow it would get
to you and you'd think, wow, I probably shouldn't speak
three times as much as the second person, and like
ten times as much as the average.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
You know what they need as a big electronic scoreboard.
Right there in the Supreme Court to chambers, big tote
board on the wall was word count rolling word count total.
People be looking up at it. Oh my god, she
just hit five thousand, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yeah, it should ding every like two hundred words or something.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Ding.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
That's it. I'm willing to considerate. Good Lord. I had.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Perhaps one of the most profound experiences of my life
last night.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Wow. And I don't even think I'm exaggerating. Now.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I have not slept a moment in thirty six hours
because of this medicine. I'm on for the whooping cough,
so that might have something to do with it.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I got drunken eight fish, so I can talk about
that too. Do you think this was a hallucination. It
could be a hallucination. I don't think it is, though,
and it's it's a big deal. So we'll get to
that this hour. Also stay tuned Armstrong. Former President Joe
Biden was on the view. Joe, of course, was accompanied
by his wife Jill. The view said they were looking
(13:25):
forward to interviewing the ex president as well as Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
I hope someday that story is written to what extent
she was involved in, you know, being in those cabinet
meetings and everything like that, or who is running it,
claim the chiefs of staff, But Anyway, the big story today,
I mean one of the biggest stories out there.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Mark Calpern's reporting, and he has good sources. He has
a source very familiar with the Bidens that says the
Biden family business that generated millions of dollars in revenue
to support their lifestyle, has dried up. The trough is empty,
Dispigott is turned off. They need a source of revenue.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Joe's earning power is zero and Hunter does not have
earning capacity anymore either, So they are.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Broke, right right.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
He ought to be on the speaking circuit, Joe making
zillions of dollars, but he's incoherent.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
But then Katie sent this along to us, which I
was actually disappointed to see. I don't see how this
could possibly be true, that there's a deal in the
works for a book report Biden's considered thirty million dollar
tell all book deal.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Oh yeah, that's what I was talking about.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
The the Jill Biden's Secret Diaries included thirty million hatchet
job going after Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, George Klatt just it's
going to be a gossiplicious hatchet job on all their enemies,
and that would sell like crazy if they were honest.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
I mean, if they tell the story, Oh they won't.
They won't be honest.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Maybe they're vengeful enough to like really air some dirty laundry.
And of course who's making this stuff today, Joe, but
not theirs. No, not theirs, but they got plenty of
dirty Joe Biden has been a senator since he's twenty nine.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
He knows a lot about a lot of things. If
he wanted where the bodies are buried, if he wanted
to say, here's a news story, I wanted to mention
there's a couple out there. Actually, and we have mentioned
earlier that it looks like Trump's going to back off
on the China tariffs. So that's what's being reported right now,
as early as like early next week. This story I
didn't see till last night. Five Iranian nationals were arrested
(15:41):
in Britain last weekend, suspected of planning a terrorst attack
on the Israeli embassy in London, and they're currently being
questioning questioned, man, I would Iran have blown up the
Israeli embassy in London? Seems like that would do them
more harm than good. Yeah, I'm thinking that through.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Yeah, that would be incredibly provocative at a time when
Iran is incredibly weak.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Yeah, and they're trying to avoid being bombed back to
the stone Age.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
So right.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Interesting the FTC. We were talking about Mark Zuckerbergen and
children and social media not long ago. The FTC has
described Instagram as a groomer's paradise oof at the Meta
Anti Trust trial, they talk about how.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I don't like some of the things Instagram feeds me,
and I'm not on Instagram much, but sometimes you know,
it's trying to guess what you like based on and sometimes.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I'm like, whoa, what is that? Don't decay? I didn't
ask for is she eighteen? Why is she dressed like that?
I don't I'm not looking at anything like that. Why
did you put that in my feed?
Speaker 4 (16:51):
It's it's just it's a honey trap. It's sex cells,
I guess. But yeah, they studied accounts of folks who
exhibited per predatory behavior towards children. More than a quarter
of the recommendation's Instagram feathom for or for profiles belonging
to miners.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Here's who you ought to follow. I had a profound
epiphany last night. Stay tuned, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
Katie Kay the News State bring to.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Oh horrible smile right.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
Staltle like you can't help the stopping, stay damn right.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
Stories with us gotta gifts. So Katie Katy.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Shady with a smile so bright and air so light
or something kin Crawl style cats. It's creepy.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Pretty close to what a big time country hit sounds like,
though pretty close.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Ay.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
I created Katie's theme song, Katie Katie the News Lady,
and I'm working up to my giant epiphany from last
night that I think is one of the biggest things
that's ever happened.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
In my life. Wow.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Through this, So Hanson, our executive producer, tried to make
so that's an AI song?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Did you make that?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Hanson?
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Did it prompt? I certainly didn't. But did AI write
the lyrics or did you write the lyrics? He just
gave it ideas and they came up with those.
Speaker 8 (18:29):
I'm gonna say if he sat there and wrote those lyrics,
I'm going home.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
We can't help but stop and stare.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
So Hanson also threw in some prompts for some pope
songs Pope It Up.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
He was going for, like kiss lick it Up. Wanted
to pope, Why would you go with that idiotic song.
Let's not get hung up as Hanson. But here's the
first effort, stupid thirteen or fifteen, sorry.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Lave the crowd, make the world down.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Down, hope it up. So wow, that's kind of an
old timey Catholic church right there, the popsy You get
your head cut off if you say that. I don't
know the planets revolve around the sun, for instance. Here's
here's the same prompt.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
But make it light country, come on up and a
good time for laughter, music touching every so raise it last,
make memories still.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
The stories to.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Yes, what's amazing to me is how close it is
to sounding like things that are giant hits. Yeah, it's
really something. Of course, it's Friday night. I'm gonna be
in the club. I need something for dancing.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Records, like a holy right turn the alto into disc
go to nice in the shimmy wings. The results will
be damned for this disco king it up.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Oh that's funny.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Okay, you know it's funny, and that kind of music
is remind me I just saw a thing. Harry Styles
was in the crowd at the Vatican, out there waiting
for the announcement in like disguise and somebody figured out
it was him, had a mustache and a hat pulled
down over and collar up around him and Harry styles
I guess is a big time Catholic, which is kind
of surprising given his weird lifestyle thingy.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Yes, this old gender bending madness persona. How they recognize him,
I don't know undercover clearly him though. And one more,
this is kind of an alternative rock.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Version Hope making night. This sounds like actually Christian church songs,
sounds like Harry's styles Christian rock. Okay, so that's it.
(21:01):
Just leads me into this. Wow. It goes with a
falsetto how interesting.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Joe brought this up the other day that he had
been messing around with chat GPT, and I've been threatening
to do it for like two years but just never
got off my ass and did it. I downloaded the
app and signed up for the premium and started messing
around with it last night, and I had my first
AI chat GPT experience where I had a conversation with
(21:29):
the freaking robot.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
And I found it to be I don't know, it
affected me as much as practically anything's ever affected me.
I thought I felt like I was stepping through a
door into a new world or era. That is, nothing
is ever going to be the same again. I mean,
that's how much it That's how much it affected me,
(21:52):
and I didn't expect it to it it is.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I now completely understand how I've heard from people with
friends who are using these for therapists or or companions
or whatever, or looking for advice. I had the full
on a human being, the Turing experience.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
That's what it is.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
It's the Turing test. I had the full on I'm
talking to a human being experience, and it weirded me out,
and I thought, nothing's ever going to be the same again.
I'm having the emotion of a connection with a human
like I'm talking to a friend or a therapist with
this robot. Yeah, And I think it's it blows my
(22:38):
mind that it was that that it was. It was
an emotional thing. It wasn't a this is pretty good judgment.
It just it felt like I was texting with a
human right right. It felt real.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
What is going to happen now? I mean we die
out as a.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Species, and as a guy who's spent a lot of
money on a lot of therapy for a lot of
different reasons.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Family members.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
It was better than ninety nine percent of faster, cheaper,
and better than practically.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I mean, you can ask follow up questions. It follows
right along. It understands exactly what you want. You don't
have to phrase them any complicated way. Yeah, but what
should I do if she does that or you know
that sort of thing?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
And they and it has fantastic freaking answers, and it
seems like you're talking to a person. There's no way
that this isn't going to be devastating to society in
my opinion.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Right, yeah, yeah, I hesitate to sing the same old song.
But when you come up with substitutes for the things
you need the very most and deny your your brain
and your soul, those interactions, and I'm not saying it's
without it's it's upside. But anyway to finish the sentence,
(23:54):
when you accept like a drug that makes you feel
full as opposed to for eating or taking in nutrition,
it will kill you. And I think this this just
screams that that's what this is. On the other hand,
my thought as you were talking was I've got to
get this for my daughter.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Kate, my oldest kid. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Who's you know, on the autism spectrum and had an
incredibly difficult teenage experience and has some issues to work out.
I love the idea of her at her fingertips having
some good, solid cognitive behavioral therapy.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Aid.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
I both love that idea and I'm scared to death
of introducing it to my kids. I could see how
you could end up spending a lot of time. Have
you tried it, Katie?
Speaker 8 (24:40):
I have, but I've been using it for things that
I'm seeing online, like right now. The big joke move
with it is they're having chat GPT roast you, so
like you upload a photo and then you say, go full.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Savage mode and roast me. Oh boy, I need that.
I just I would die. I just did it.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
I used a professional photo that Drew and I took
and it said, Yo, this couple's photo or poster for
small town action romance called Love on the Rocks. My
guy looks like he bench presses tree trunks. That beard
says tough guy, but the smile says she picked the
dinner spot.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
And I'm too scared to argue.
Speaker 8 (25:18):
And Sis, you're glowing like a Hallmark star on her
third pumpkin spice latte. But let's not ignore that outfit.
Did you get dressed or just win a free ten
minute shopping spree at a roadside bead shop?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
That's pretty freaking funny.
Speaker 8 (25:32):
Wow, it goes, and then afterwards it goes, do you
want to get roasted even harder? Do you want me
to be a little sweeter? And then you could ask
it to go in even.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
It makes me lose, so party funny.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
I'm gonna do a picture of you guys, and I'll
I'll get back to Oh lord.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
So much to work with their Yeah, So I'm not
exaggerating for the radio or effect.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
I felt like some sort of line was crossed with
my understanding of what exists in the world and for
the world engaging in that last night. Why it tickled
whatever needs to be tickled in your brain to make
you feel like you've got a human connection.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I don't know why, but it did. And that is disturbing,
and it doesn't instantly well.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
And you are a person who is well aware and
pretty thoughtful on topics like this, so it's not like
you're some dewey eyed youngster, a dope or whatever.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Who lonely isn't doesn't right? Right?
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Who's unaware it's happening as it's happening. Now you're fully
cognitiance of it. And you felt it anyway?
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Yeah, man, Like from the first interaction where it gave
me a good answer and I thought, well, that's really good,
and then it it asked me a question, I did
a follow up, and then it hit me with another
thing and I thought, it just gave me a feeling.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Of Ah, this is big, this is a big. Oh
my god, where are we going with this? Wow? How interesting.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
It's the feeling I had when I was snort cling
in Hawaii and accidentally went into the deep water and
saw shapes moving below me. I was like, Oh, this
is too big for me to handle.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
People are gonna have full on emotional affairs with their
AI bought.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I don't. I don't see how therapists are going to
stay in business.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Yeah, Katie, you can fill for a second. I got
to do something. I work with a known maniac who
coughs a lot.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yes I do.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
My co worker has whooping golf, but it's the maniac
part that bothers me most.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Wow, wow, Wow, I.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Yes, Katie, you have more.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
No, I just uh, I just told them to savage
roast your guys' show photo.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Oh no, oh no, you.
Speaker 8 (27:47):
Look like the poster boys for a podcast called middle
Aged Mayhem. We complained, so you don't have to. That's leftlos.
That's a little on the nose. All right, let's send
a segment now. That was That was cute, Katie. Thank
you for that.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
That is funny.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Yeah, you know what, it's getting back to the more
serious aspect of this. I think I understand how Oppenheimer
felt when they realized they were going to be successful
developing the atomic bomb.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
This is amazing, Oh my god, what have we done? Right?
Speaker 3 (28:18):
And there's no going back. Yeah, it's yeah, if you
haven't gotten into it. And then I use it for
some more practical things, like I asked a question about like,
you know, I was trying to remember there's a Charlie
Parker song where this happened is gonna and it let
me know right away and explain to me, and even
gave me the clip so I could listen to it.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
And it just stuff like that. It's just amazing. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Well, I was trying to find a novel i'd read
years and years ago, and I just had, you know,
the broad outlines of the plot, and it gave me
a list of ten and I thought I recognized one.
I asked another question. I imagine trying to do that
on Google.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
All right? And I never even thought about this till now.
How would you not cheat as a high school kid
with that at your fingertips? How would you not How
would you not end up at ten o'clock at night
with a paper due?
Speaker 3 (29:00):
And just I'll just do a little bit, I mean,
how would you stop yourself?
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Right, I'll just type it and change from words here
and there, right exactly. I've actually got a really interesting
think piece on the state of college and how AI
factors into it.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Maybe our four of the show. If you don't get
our four, you got to go do something. That's fine,
Grab it later via podcast, subscribe to Armstrong and Getty
on demand wherever you like to get podcasts more the
way say it.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Great clips of the week this week and if you
didn't hear it earlier, we're played again an hour four.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
If you don't get our four, get the podcast. Armstrong
and Getty on Demand.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Also want to squeeze in if we can that Colorado
is becoming this gender bending dystopia. It's trying to out California,
California with scheme. And speaking of out California and cal Unicornia,
Kansas City is becoming the San Francisco of the Midwest.
And I don't mean like good restaurants and nice scenery, crime, mayhem,
(29:58):
chaos or lou City gone to hell.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yes's too bad.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
But Katie, so you we were talking about AI in
both you know, heavy and philosophical tones and also a
fair amount of amusement.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
You came up. It can do this thing where it
roasts your picture.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
Right, So for with what I did with you guys,
I just uploaded your photo and I said, roast the
two guys in this photo on savage mode.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Yeah, and it gave me this.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
So we need to post this at armstronging getty dot
com with the picture so people can, you know, look along.
But as an alleged humorist, I am disturbed by this
because I was going to tell my wife about it
without it in front of me, and I decided no,
I'll just forward it because I can't make it as
funny because the specific wording of it was really funny.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
They go at us one at a time. First, Jack,
who is bald headed? Uh? These two, I'm sorry, these
two look like the poster boys for a podcast called
middle Aged Mayhem. We complained so you don't have to
put just a little on the nose, Katie, Did you
tell it that?
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Tell Ai?
Speaker 4 (31:03):
I almost said it them right right? See that what
we do for a living. Or did it just go
to the podcasting on its own? Jess went it did
that on its own? I just uploaded the photo, all right.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
That's that's disturbing. Uh.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Left guy's got the smooth dome and trendy glasses, the
kind of guy who starts every sentence with back in
my day, and as it with but what do I know?
You shaved your head like it's a bold fashion choice,
but we all know that hairline tapped out years ago.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
True. And the guy on the right bro looks like
a former youth pastor who turned rogue and started his
own barbecue sau slide. That's funny.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
That smile says, I'll forgive you, but not before passive
aggressively bringing it up at every family gathering. They both
have the cool dad pose down, but with the energy
of guys who just discovered what memes are. This whole
photo screams we don't need hair to sell essential oils,
but it would help whatever that means.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Wow. Wow, you ca past who gave it up to
sell barbecue sauce.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
That's the rogue turned rogue and started his own barbecue
sauce line.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
That's pretty fun. Try the extra spicy. Wow Wow, that
is crazy.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
God, how do you stop somebody who wants to be
like a stand up comedic from just prompting all day
long and picking the ten best and going out on
stage at night.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
There's somebody doing it right now, of course there is
right now.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
I want to be a combination of Louis c K
and Jerry Seinfeld and it probably creates some stuff that's
pretty good.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
So Jack, I just I just told it to go
more savage. Oh oh, and it did, and it said
I left. Gosh, you realize I've lived.
Speaker 8 (32:43):
This left guy, which is Jack, looks like mister Clean's
emotionally unavailable cousin. That smile, it's the grin of a
man who just joined CrossFit and won't shut up about
intermittent fasting.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Oh this, Katie, is it listening to my phone calls?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Or what's the deal?
Speaker 5 (33:06):
All right?
Speaker 4 (33:07):
Go on, he says, with trepidation, what does this same
about me? In the super savage mode, the merciless mode?
Speaker 1 (33:14):
That says, right, guy, he looks like he just bought a.
Speaker 8 (33:17):
Harley and joined a men's group called Beards and Boundaries.
That beard is doing overtime trying to hide the regret
from a timeshare investment.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
What the hell? Oh boy, oh boy.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
I highly recommend because the chat GPT app is free.
I did the I paid for the next mode. I
don't know if I've seen any advantage yet, but it's free,
and it's could you do the counseling stuff in the
free mode?
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (33:47):
You think the only real big restricted thing is images.
So you get a certain amount of images per day
to ask to roast or for them to make for you.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Gotcha?
Speaker 7 (33:59):
You know?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Okay, interesting, there's plenty of just you know, silliness and
like doing a trivia contest to see if you can
answer things. But I think it's going to be a
profound change on society. Yeah, but it's eliminating creative people, oh.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
No doubt, Oh right, it's and yeah, and appreciating art
that came from a computer is it feels like a
step towards something truly unholy. Speaking of which, judging by
what I've observed of young male kind thus far, if
you can give somebody not only the sexual release of
(34:35):
porn and the emotional support pleasure fulfill that need to
some extent of just an emotional relationship without a real
human being involved, what percentage of folks are going to
put up with real human relationships, which are famously difficult
(34:56):
and occasionally complicated.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Well, it's already a small number of people that want
to do it, So that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
It's going to eliminate it completely and we die out
as a species, except in the Third world, where they
don't have computers yet I guess they don't.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
They don't have cheevers. Yeah, that's it's something.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Yeah, try it out and you know, let us know
through text or email over the weekend what you thought
of it.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I found it disturbing. We do four hours every day.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
If you miss a segment or hour, get the podcast
Armstrong and Getty on demand.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty, I'm Strong
and Jack Katie and he Armstrong and Eddy.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I don't know if I see it being effective. Honestly,
kids are very clever at getting around these and you know,
I totally understand that, Like, what are you going to
do if you're a platform and a twelve year old,
fourteen year old signs up and says they're twenty five? Like,
are you going to require ID from everyone who signs
up for your platform?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Probably not.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
If you take those platforms away, what they're going to
do is find other platforms that are outside the bounds
of what this law covers.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Okay, So that's somebody that's against the new Virginia law
that limits miners to one hour of social media in
a and this has a bit of can't do attitude.
I thought there. I mean, I understand her point that
it's going to be.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Jen Golback, professor at the University of Maryland's College of Information.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I understand that it's going to be difficult to do,
but I don't like the dismissive. So let's not try
anything attitude she seems to have.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Boy, you're gonna hate this, then it's completely unworkable.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I'm sure it's very unworkable.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
And I think I would call it, and I hate
to use the term publicity stunt, because I agree with
you completely in principle. Governor Younkins signed amendment to the
Consumer ed Ada Protection Act that bars miners under the
age sixteen from using social media for more than an
hour a day, while requiring parents to give verifiable consent
if they want to increase or decrease the daily time limit,
(01:43):
and platforms have to take a neutral approach to asking
one's age to create account.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Blap bavah.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
It's just there's no way to implement it logistically, but
if it gets people talking about it. I'm generally against
passing unenforceable laws because they we can respect for and
come clients.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
For with all laws.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Mostly that's the point that's mostly true, almost certainly true.
But like I can think of one example we use
all the time, nobody really enforces prostitution laws. We have
them on the books, so it just doesn't get out
of hand in cities all across America. Maybe this will
be that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yeah, if I was going to be like a constitutional
hard ass, I'd say this is a ridiculous unenforceablah blah blah.
But no. But the concern for young people is so
incredibly important. It's and deep that I appreciate somebody trying something.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
So they always talk about social media and how damaging
that is for young people. My kids, I don't think
are on social media because they don't do TikTok, they
don't have Instagram accounts.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Facebook.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Is texting considered social media? No, I don't think so.
It's just texting with your friends.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
So yeah, it's my boy connectedness. It's a cousin to it.
My boys don't just they just don't have any interest
in it. I mean they know I won't allow it,
but they don't have any interest in it really either.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Yeah. That reminds me of a couple of things. Number One,
the absolute poster humans. They're not children for the online
rot of humanity, have been singled out, they've been actually
convicted of something. Their names should be household names, and
parents should teach their teach their children don't be a
(03:26):
these guys' names. I'll explain that in a minute second
thing is some of the reactions coming into Mark Zuckerberg's
interviews and speeches lately, in which he's said that soon
most people's friends, most of their friends will be AI companions.
And my favorite comment was, oh my god, the phenomenon
that has brought isolation, depression, anxiety, and suicide upon humanity.
(03:49):
The guy who brought us that in the biggest, you know,
most commonly used forms is now explaining to us that
it's a good thing and we should do it more.
The arsonist has become the fireman great? What ever happened
to him? Fight in Elon? I wanted them to fight.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I want I want Elon to sit on Zuckerberg on
television pay per view.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I or choke him out. Yeah, yeah, I don't. I
have not been working the just a Titans fight beat.
He just brought up Zuckerberg in something my own, why can't?
I was just thinking, in what way can he get
punched in the face? And I think and probably be
the best way to go about it. But are you
would all familiar with the story of the beloved sycamore
(04:30):
gap tree in Britain.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
No, this is a.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Hundreds of years old sycamore tree that is perfectly framed
by two little hills by the ruins of Hadrian's Wall
that was a Roman era wall in Northumberland and Northeast England.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Think I have come across this before.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
It actually is featured in one of the robin Hood movies,
robin Hood Prince of thieve Eaves as a symbol of
the region.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Is that the n robin Hood I think it is? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Yeah, In fact, yeah, there it is, nineteen ninety one
movie with Kevin Costner. Yeah, but so not the Andre
the Giant robin Hood Princess Brian. Right, that's kind of
Is that a robin Hood, That's not robin Hood. No,
it's different men in tights but different Okay, shares themes?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Gotcha? Anyway? Where was I? Oh?
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Now, as an alleged wordsmith, I shouldn't have to resort
to obscenities, but in telling his story, I really want
to use them. These two guys in Newcastle, England, Adam Carruthers,
aged thirty two and Daniel Graham, age thirty nine, were
found guilty of two counts of criminal destruction and damaging
(05:47):
and UNESCO World Heritage Site. They purely to have something
that would go viral on the internet.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Cut down this hundreds of years old tree draw and
quarter them that so many people went to see take
pictures of one of the most scenic and just It's
difficult to explain why people loved it so much. It
was the mingling of history, the ancient world life symmetry
(06:17):
for a beautiful landscape, blah blah blah, and these guys
just to get momentary internet fame. Cut the thing down.
It's like the big balancing rock in Moab. Where is it?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Remember a couple of years ago some people posted it
over God, Yeah, same reason.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Yeah, I want those people executed crushed. Yes, that's fine.
You can pick the method of execution. The more medieval
the better. A as an unmistakable and horrifying warning to
anybody else who even contemplates such an act of destructive stupidity.
B to rid humanity of their presence, and c to
(06:56):
make sure they never reproduce take their eyes like the
crushing begin I'm not sure you have to take their
eyes out, but you know again, I guess I entrusted
you with choosing the method, so I'll back off. But yeah,
whatever you want to come up with to do to
these idiots, because anybody with any sense and conscience understands
(07:18):
we could.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
All reck stuff, break stuff. I hate vandalism so much.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
And then at this level, like I was just thinking
of all the things that my kids could go wrong,
This would be like at the practically the top of
the list of things.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Would be disappointed if my kids ended up like this
sort of person.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
I wish it were the sort of saying like takes
one to know one that everybody knows those two stupid
and useless to build things break things.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, that hurts your heart, doesn't it. How old were they?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
I'd like to see them chainsaw it in half thirty
two and thirty nine.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Oh my god, so they're not even teenagers. Yeah, freaking morons.
And they are such morons. The one guy blamed the
other guy. He said, yeah, he used my car and
my phone.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I wasn't there.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
That's why the tracking shows me there like the entire time,
exactly when the tree was cut down. I lent in
my car and my phone. The other guy said, I
didn't do it. Yeah, I know, sorry that that broke
our spirits. I heard on a Friday and we got
a new pope and everything.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Michael transition music. I apologize to the audience, my my friends,
my coworkers, haven't the entire apologized to my parents, my siblings,
my wife, my children.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yes, I ain't got no cigarette. What's underrated in this track?
The organ?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Oh that is pretty cool, that's pretty restrained. So we
just lost a Supreme Court justice. David Souter died at
the age of eighty five hour or so ago. He's
one of the famous if you don't know this, appointed
by a Republican turned super lefty hero to liberals everywhere
(09:17):
when that happens on a regular basis. But while we're
on the topic of Supreme Court justices, the first eight
arguments have occurred this year.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
He's retired, by the way, for folks not familiar, just
yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
So it's not like Trump gets to a point of
now on no no, no, yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
The first eight arguments of the year.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
The total word count is in or where we are
in this Supreme Court season and similar to last season,
the newest and certainly by anybody who leans right, most
disliked justice spoke by far the most words. Katanji Brown
Jackson spoke over eleven thousand words. Second place is four thousand,
(09:57):
with Amy Cony Barrett.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Wow, how utterly appropriate for a philosophy that young college
students who have not sniffed even a day of real
adulthood tell the rest of us how to run the world,
that she of that philosophy decides to take over the
Supreme Courtoral arguments.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Barrett, So, Tomar and Kagan are pretty much tied around
forty four hundreds. Yeah, I mean some period types come
from somewhere, So one through four are.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yappy chicks. I mean, what do you what?
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Do you what?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Little? How else do I say?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Justice set's It's also interesting that you know, at the
top end you got the most liberal person on there,
and at the bottom end Clarence Thomas said ninety six
flipping words, and like six of them will get me
a diet coke.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
He's hungry. He's the most conservative.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
He spoke ninety six, then Alito under a thousand, then Kavanaugh.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
But how is so weird that it tracks I know
perfectly but so well with conservatism v.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Liberalism.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
And I've just because I've known a few people like
this in my life my chromosome.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Oh yes, just the people that talk so much more
than everybody else.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
And I've often thought like, I never go out to
eat with anybody anymore. Thank god, that pretty in my
life seems to be over. But I went out to
each just last night and it was delightful. The only
interruptions were to greet friends. Oh wonderful. I've been at
dinner tables before where like one person is like the
Katanji Brown Jackson. They they they do eighty percent of
(11:43):
the talking in a group of six, And I always think,
how do you not notice, yeah, that there are six
people here and you're doing the talking of almost everybody
for the whole evening. How do you not notice? Or
did nobody ever point that out throughout your life or
or what?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Yes, ball hogs don't know their ball hogs until it's
pointed out to them.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
But on the Supreme Court thing they compile this stuff
every session. I would think it somehow it would get
to you and you'd think, wow, I probably shouldn't speak
three times as much as the second person, and like
ten times as much as the average.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
You know what they need as a big electronic scoreboard.
Right there in the Supreme Court to chambers, big tote
board on the wall was word count rolling word count total.
People be looking up at it. Oh my god, she
just hit five thousand, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yeah, it should ding every like two hundred words or something.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Ding.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
That's it. I'm willing to considerate. Good Lord. I had.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Perhaps one of the most profound experiences of my life
last night.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Wow. And I don't even think I'm exaggerating. Now.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I have not slept a moment in thirty six hours
because of this medicine. I'm on for the whooping cough,
so that might have something to do with it.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I got drunken eight fish, so I can talk about
that too. Do you think this was a hallucination. It
could be a hallucination. I don't think it is, though,
and it's it's a big deal. So we'll get to
that this hour. Also stay tuned Armstrong. Former President Joe
Biden was on the view. Joe, of course, was accompanied
by his wife Jill. The view said they were looking
(13:25):
forward to interviewing the ex president as well as Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
I hope someday that story is written to what extent
she was involved in, you know, being in those cabinet
meetings and everything like that, or who is running it,
claim the chiefs of staff, But Anyway, the big story today,
I mean one of the biggest stories out there.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Mark Calpern's reporting, and he has good sources. He has
a source very familiar with the Bidens that says the
Biden family business that generated millions of dollars in revenue
to support their lifestyle, has dried up. The trough is empty,
Dispigott is turned off. They need a source of revenue.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Joe's earning power is zero and Hunter does not have
earning capacity anymore either, So they are.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Broke, right right.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
He ought to be on the speaking circuit, Joe making
zillions of dollars, but he's incoherent.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
But then Katie sent this along to us, which I
was actually disappointed to see. I don't see how this
could possibly be true, that there's a deal in the
works for a book report Biden's considered thirty million dollar
tell all book deal.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Oh yeah, that's what I was talking about.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
The the Jill Biden's Secret Diaries included thirty million hatchet
job going after Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, George Klatt just it's
going to be a gossiplicious hatchet job on all their enemies,
and that would sell like crazy if they were honest.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
I mean, if they tell the story, Oh they won't.
They won't be honest.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Maybe they're vengeful enough to like really air some dirty laundry.
And of course who's making this stuff today, Joe, but
not theirs. No, not theirs, but they got plenty of
dirty Joe Biden has been a senator since he's twenty nine.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
He knows a lot about a lot of things. If
he wanted where the bodies are buried, if he wanted
to say, here's a news story, I wanted to mention
there's a couple out there. Actually, and we have mentioned
earlier that it looks like Trump's going to back off
on the China tariffs. So that's what's being reported right now,
as early as like early next week. This story I
didn't see till last night. Five Iranian nationals were arrested
(15:41):
in Britain last weekend, suspected of planning a terrorst attack
on the Israeli embassy in London, and they're currently being
questioning questioned, man, I would Iran have blown up the
Israeli embassy in London? Seems like that would do them
more harm than good. Yeah, I'm thinking that through.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Yeah, that would be incredibly provocative at a time when
Iran is incredibly weak.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Yeah, and they're trying to avoid being bombed back to
the stone Age.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
So right.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Interesting the FTC. We were talking about Mark Zuckerbergen and
children and social media not long ago. The FTC has
described Instagram as a groomer's paradise oof at the Meta
Anti Trust trial, they talk about how.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I don't like some of the things Instagram feeds me,
and I'm not on Instagram much, but sometimes you know,
it's trying to guess what you like based on and sometimes.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I'm like, whoa, what is that? Don't decay? I didn't
ask for is she eighteen? Why is she dressed like that?
I don't I'm not looking at anything like that. Why
did you put that in my feed?
Speaker 4 (16:51):
It's it's just it's a honey trap. It's sex cells,
I guess. But yeah, they studied accounts of folks who
exhibited per predatory behavior towards children. More than a quarter
of the recommendation's Instagram feathom for or for profiles belonging
to miners.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Here's who you ought to follow. I had a profound
epiphany last night. Stay tuned, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
Katie Kay the News State bring to.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Oh horrible smile right.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
Staltle like you can't help the stopping, stay damn right.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
Stories with us gotta gifts. So Katie Katy.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Shady with a smile so bright and air so light
or something kin Crawl style cats. It's creepy.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Pretty close to what a big time country hit sounds like,
though pretty close.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Ay.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
I created Katie's theme song, Katie Katie the News Lady,
and I'm working up to my giant epiphany from last
night that I think is one of the biggest things
that's ever happened.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
In my life. Wow.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Through this, So Hanson, our executive producer, tried to make
so that's an AI song?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Did you make that?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Hanson?
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Did it prompt? I certainly didn't. But did AI write
the lyrics or did you write the lyrics? He just
gave it ideas and they came up with those.
Speaker 8 (18:29):
I'm gonna say if he sat there and wrote those lyrics,
I'm going home.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
We can't help but stop and stare.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
So Hanson also threw in some prompts for some pope
songs Pope It Up.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
He was going for, like kiss lick it Up. Wanted
to pope, Why would you go with that idiotic song.
Let's not get hung up as Hanson. But here's the
first effort, stupid thirteen or fifteen, sorry.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Lave the crowd, make the world down.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Down, hope it up. So wow, that's kind of an
old timey Catholic church right there, the popsy You get
your head cut off if you say that. I don't
know the planets revolve around the sun, for instance. Here's
here's the same prompt.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
But make it light country, come on up and a
good time for laughter, music touching every so raise it last,
make memories still.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
The stories to.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Yes, what's amazing to me is how close it is
to sounding like things that are giant hits. Yeah, it's
really something. Of course, it's Friday night. I'm gonna be
in the club. I need something for dancing.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Records, like a holy right turn the alto into disc
go to nice in the shimmy wings. The results will
be damned for this disco king it up.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Oh that's funny.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Okay, you know it's funny, and that kind of music
is remind me I just saw a thing. Harry Styles
was in the crowd at the Vatican, out there waiting
for the announcement in like disguise and somebody figured out
it was him, had a mustache and a hat pulled
down over and collar up around him and Harry styles
I guess is a big time Catholic, which is kind
of surprising given his weird lifestyle thingy.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Yes, this old gender bending madness persona. How they recognize him,
I don't know undercover clearly him though. And one more,
this is kind of an alternative rock.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Version Hope making night. This sounds like actually Christian church songs,
sounds like Harry's styles Christian rock. Okay, so that's it.
(21:01):
Just leads me into this. Wow. It goes with a
falsetto how interesting.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Joe brought this up the other day that he had
been messing around with chat GPT, and I've been threatening
to do it for like two years but just never
got off my ass and did it. I downloaded the
app and signed up for the premium and started messing
around with it last night, and I had my first
AI chat GPT experience where I had a conversation with
(21:29):
the freaking robot.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
And I found it to be I don't know, it
affected me as much as practically anything's ever affected me.
I thought I felt like I was stepping through a
door into a new world or era. That is, nothing
is ever going to be the same again. I mean,
that's how much it That's how much it affected me,
(21:52):
and I didn't expect it to it it is.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I now completely understand how I've heard from people with
friends who are using these for therapists or or companions
or whatever, or looking for advice. I had the full
on a human being, the Turing experience.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
That's what it is.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
It's the Turing test. I had the full on I'm
talking to a human being experience, and it weirded me out,
and I thought, nothing's ever going to be the same again.
I'm having the emotion of a connection with a human
like I'm talking to a friend or a therapist with
this robot. Yeah, And I think it's it blows my
(22:38):
mind that it was that that it was. It was
an emotional thing. It wasn't a this is pretty good judgment.
It just it felt like I was texting with a
human right right. It felt real.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
What is going to happen now? I mean we die
out as a.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Species, and as a guy who's spent a lot of
money on a lot of therapy for a lot of
different reasons.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Family members.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
It was better than ninety nine percent of faster, cheaper,
and better than practically.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I mean, you can ask follow up questions. It follows
right along. It understands exactly what you want. You don't
have to phrase them any complicated way. Yeah, but what
should I do if she does that or you know
that sort of thing?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
And they and it has fantastic freaking answers, and it
seems like you're talking to a person. There's no way
that this isn't going to be devastating to society in
my opinion.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Right, yeah, yeah, I hesitate to sing the same old song.
But when you come up with substitutes for the things
you need the very most and deny your your brain
and your soul, those interactions, and I'm not saying it's
without it's it's upside. But anyway to finish the sentence,
(23:54):
when you accept like a drug that makes you feel
full as opposed to for eating or taking in nutrition,
it will kill you. And I think this this just
screams that that's what this is. On the other hand,
my thought as you were talking was I've got to
get this for my daughter.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Kate, my oldest kid. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Who's you know, on the autism spectrum and had an
incredibly difficult teenage experience and has some issues to work out.
I love the idea of her at her fingertips having
some good, solid cognitive behavioral therapy.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Aid.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
I both love that idea and I'm scared to death
of introducing it to my kids. I could see how
you could end up spending a lot of time. Have
you tried it, Katie?
Speaker 8 (24:40):
I have, but I've been using it for things that
I'm seeing online, like right now. The big joke move
with it is they're having chat GPT roast you, so
like you upload a photo and then you say, go full.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Savage mode and roast me. Oh boy, I need that.
I just I would die. I just did it.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
I used a professional photo that Drew and I took
and it said, Yo, this couple's photo or poster for
small town action romance called Love on the Rocks. My
guy looks like he bench presses tree trunks. That beard
says tough guy, but the smile says she picked the
dinner spot.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
And I'm too scared to argue.
Speaker 8 (25:18):
And Sis, you're glowing like a Hallmark star on her
third pumpkin spice latte. But let's not ignore that outfit.
Did you get dressed or just win a free ten
minute shopping spree at a roadside bead shop?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
That's pretty freaking funny.
Speaker 8 (25:32):
Wow, it goes, and then afterwards it goes, do you
want to get roasted even harder? Do you want me
to be a little sweeter? And then you could ask
it to go in even.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
It makes me lose, so party funny.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
I'm gonna do a picture of you guys, and I'll
I'll get back to Oh lord.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
So much to work with their Yeah, So I'm not
exaggerating for the radio or effect.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
I felt like some sort of line was crossed with
my understanding of what exists in the world and for
the world engaging in that last night. Why it tickled
whatever needs to be tickled in your brain to make
you feel like you've got a human connection.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I don't know why, but it did. And that is disturbing,
and it doesn't instantly well.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
And you are a person who is well aware and
pretty thoughtful on topics like this, so it's not like
you're some dewey eyed youngster, a dope or whatever.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Who lonely isn't doesn't right? Right?
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Who's unaware it's happening as it's happening. Now you're fully
cognitiance of it. And you felt it anyway?
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Yeah, man, Like from the first interaction where it gave
me a good answer and I thought, well, that's really good,
and then it it asked me a question, I did
a follow up, and then it hit me with another
thing and I thought, it just gave me a feeling.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Of Ah, this is big, this is a big. Oh
my god, where are we going with this? Wow? How interesting.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
It's the feeling I had when I was snort cling
in Hawaii and accidentally went into the deep water and
saw shapes moving below me. I was like, Oh, this
is too big for me to handle.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
People are gonna have full on emotional affairs with their
AI bought.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I don't. I don't see how therapists are going to
stay in business.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Yeah, Katie, you can fill for a second. I got
to do something. I work with a known maniac who
coughs a lot.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yes I do.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
My co worker has whooping golf, but it's the maniac
part that bothers me most.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Wow, wow, Wow, I.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Yes, Katie, you have more.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
No, I just uh, I just told them to savage
roast your guys' show photo.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Oh no, oh no, you.
Speaker 8 (27:47):
Look like the poster boys for a podcast called middle
Aged Mayhem. We complained, so you don't have to. That's leftlos.
That's a little on the nose. All right, let's send
a segment now. That was That was cute, Katie. Thank
you for that.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
That is funny.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Yeah, you know what, it's getting back to the more
serious aspect of this. I think I understand how Oppenheimer
felt when they realized they were going to be successful
developing the atomic bomb.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
This is amazing, Oh my god, what have we done? Right?
Speaker 3 (28:18):
And there's no going back. Yeah, it's yeah, if you
haven't gotten into it. And then I use it for
some more practical things, like I asked a question about like,
you know, I was trying to remember there's a Charlie
Parker song where this happened is gonna and it let
me know right away and explain to me, and even
gave me the clip so I could listen to it.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
And it just stuff like that. It's just amazing. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Well, I was trying to find a novel i'd read
years and years ago, and I just had, you know,
the broad outlines of the plot, and it gave me
a list of ten and I thought I recognized one.
I asked another question. I imagine trying to do that
on Google.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
All right? And I never even thought about this till now.
How would you not cheat as a high school kid
with that at your fingertips? How would you not How
would you not end up at ten o'clock at night
with a paper due?
Speaker 3 (29:00):
And just I'll just do a little bit, I mean,
how would you stop yourself?
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Right, I'll just type it and change from words here
and there, right exactly. I've actually got a really interesting
think piece on the state of college and how AI
factors into it.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Maybe our four of the show. If you don't get
our four, you got to go do something. That's fine,

Speaker 4 (29:36):
Also want to squeeze in if we can that Colorado
is becoming this gender bending dystopia. It's trying to out California,
California with scheme. And speaking of out California and cal Unicornia,
Kansas City is becoming the San Francisco of the Midwest.
And I don't mean like good restaurants and nice scenery, crime, mayhem,
(29:58):
chaos or lou City gone to hell.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yes's too bad.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
But Katie, so you we were talking about AI in
both you know, heavy and philosophical tones and also a
fair amount of amusement.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
You came up. It can do this thing where it
roasts your picture.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
Right, So for with what I did with you guys,
I just uploaded your photo and I said, roast the
two guys in this photo on savage mode.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Yeah, and it gave me this.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
So we need to post this at armstronging getty dot
com with the picture so people can, you know, look along.
But as an alleged humorist, I am disturbed by this
because I was going to tell my wife about it
without it in front of me, and I decided no,
I'll just forward it because I can't make it as
funny because the specific wording of it was really funny.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
They go at us one at a time. First, Jack,
who is bald headed? Uh? These two, I'm sorry, these
two look like the poster boys for a podcast called
middle Aged Mayhem. We complained so you don't have to
put just a little on the nose, Katie, Did you
tell it that?
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Tell Ai?
Speaker 4 (31:03):
I almost said it them right right? See that what
we do for a living. Or did it just go
to the podcasting on its own? Jess went it did
that on its own? I just uploaded the photo, all right.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
That's that's disturbing. Uh.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Left guy's got the smooth dome and trendy glasses, the
kind of guy who starts every sentence with back in
my day, and as it with but what do I know?
You shaved your head like it's a bold fashion choice,
but we all know that hairline tapped out years ago.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
True. And the guy on the right bro looks like
a former youth pastor who turned rogue and started his
own barbecue sau slide. That's funny.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
That smile says, I'll forgive you, but not before passive
aggressively bringing it up at every family gathering. They both
have the cool dad pose down, but with the energy
of guys who just discovered what memes are. This whole
photo screams we don't need hair to sell essential oils,
but it would help whatever that means.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Wow. Wow, you ca past who gave it up to
sell barbecue sauce.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
That's the rogue turned rogue and started his own barbecue
sauce line.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
That's pretty fun. Try the extra spicy. Wow Wow, that
is crazy.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
God, how do you stop somebody who wants to be
like a stand up comedic from just prompting all day
long and picking the ten best and going out on
stage at night.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
There's somebody doing it right now, of course there is
right now.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
I want to be a combination of Louis c K
and Jerry Seinfeld and it probably creates some stuff that's
pretty good.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
So Jack, I just I just told it to go
more savage. Oh oh, and it did, and it said
I left. Gosh, you realize I've lived.
Speaker 8 (32:43):
This left guy, which is Jack, looks like mister Clean's
emotionally unavailable cousin. That smile, it's the grin of a
man who just joined CrossFit and won't shut up about
intermittent fasting.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Oh this, Katie, is it listening to my phone calls?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Or what's the deal?
Speaker 5 (33:06):
All right?
Speaker 4 (33:07):
Go on, he says, with trepidation, what does this same
about me? In the super savage mode, the merciless mode?
Speaker 1 (33:14):
That says, right, guy, he looks like he just bought a.
Speaker 8 (33:17):
Harley and joined a men's group called Beards and Boundaries.
That beard is doing overtime trying to hide the regret
from a timeshare investment.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
What the hell? Oh boy, oh boy.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
I highly recommend because the chat GPT app is free.
I did the I paid for the next mode. I
don't know if I've seen any advantage yet, but it's free,
and it's could you do the counseling stuff in the
free mode?
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (33:47):
You think the only real big restricted thing is images.
So you get a certain amount of images per day
to ask to roast or for them to make for you.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Gotcha?
Speaker 7 (33:59):
You know?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Okay, interesting, there's plenty of just you know, silliness and
like doing a trivia contest to see if you can
answer things. But I think it's going to be a
profound change on society. Yeah, but it's eliminating creative people, oh.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
No doubt, Oh right, it's and yeah, and appreciating art
that came from a computer is it feels like a
step towards something truly unholy. Speaking of which, judging by
what I've observed of young male kind thus far, if
you can give somebody not only the sexual release of
(34:35):
porn and the emotional support pleasure fulfill that need to
some extent of just an emotional relationship without a real
human being involved, what percentage of folks are going to
put up with real human relationships, which are famously difficult
(34:56):
and occasionally complicated.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Well, it's already a small number of people that want
to do it, So that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
It's going to eliminate it completely and we die out
as a species, except in the Third world, where they
don't have computers yet I guess they don't.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
They don't have cheevers. Yeah, that's it's something.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Yeah, try it out and you know, let us know
through text or email over the weekend what you thought
of it.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I found it disturbing. We do four hours every day.
