Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott VORDIEZ, I should have kept this thing in better shape.
What is Scott talking about? Is he talking about eight No,
we're not gonna guess. We are gonna get right to
the details. It's true, whatever you're thinking of, I should
have kept it in better shape. But what I'm specifically
talking about here is my nineteen seventy seven TOPS Star
(00:21):
Wars card number one. It's basically Luke Skywalker's rookie card.
After the release of Star Wars, Tops, known for baseball
cards football cards, put out Star Wars cards. There was
a time there in the late seventies throughout the early
eighties where if you had a even a popular TV show,
(00:44):
in some cases a movie, Tops was putting out bubblegum cards.
I had bubblegum cards for everything from the movie Grease,
which I hadn't seen then and still have not seen.
I don't know how, why where I got Grease cards,
but I remember maybe that's why I think I've seen
the movie. I've got bubblegum cards from the movie Grease.
(01:07):
Battlestar Galactica had cards, Mork and Mindy had cards, and
Star Wars had cards, and then a few years later
Empire strikes back, but Star Wars tops number one. The
Luke Skywalker card Luke Skywalker's Rookie card has been found.
It's in mint condition and it's on sale right now
(01:32):
on auction. I probably have three of these things.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Is it the one where he's looking at the two
moons on the sand.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
No, it's more of a like a bust. He's kind
of looking off to the side. He's got the tattooine
robes on though he's wearing that garb. And I know
I've got I probably have fifteen of these things. They're
not in mint condition. They've got rubber bands, not just
wrapped around them on a wide thing. But there was
(02:01):
a time, especially when we're riding our bikes around and
shoving these things in our pockets and so forth, to
show off our cards to each other, my friend, and
thank you so much. I believe it probably Scott that
showed me how to do this. My older friend Scott said, no,
if you just put the rubber band around the card,
(02:22):
around the belt area the midsection of the card, they
can still slide out the top of the bottom. You
have to wrap it around there and then pull on
that thing so as to damage the cards, and then
also move it to where it can go lengthwise on
the card as well. Now you've got one rubber band
that's holding it together both from a width and a
(02:43):
length standpoint. Those cards aren't going anywhere, and we've got
these rubber band marks destroying the sides and the tops
and bottoms of these cards.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
But do you think you have it?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I'm sure I do.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Even though damaged, it has to be worth something, right.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Well, yeah, probably worth something. But I would say that
anyone who is really excited about it probably already has
one also damaged. But they found they the auctioneer said,
all right, well, a lot of people once they found
out these things were worth something, they dug through all
their old lunch boxes and shoe boxes and they found
(03:23):
some of these. We had over four thousand graded examples
of the Luke Skywalker Tops Star Wars card. Only nine
have been graded GYM mint. That is the highest quality
you can possibly get from a card. How much do
you think this thing is worth?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
There's nine of them? Yeah, I'm going to say fifty
seven and forty two.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
That's a lot more than I would have thought because
I was thinking, like, well, what is what are these things?
Worth a couple thousand bucks. You're a lot closer. The value,
the estimate of what this thing might go for is
upwards of eighty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You know why, I guess hire because I watch Pond
Stars and I watch Antiques Road Show and I watch
all that stuff. I love it. I love it when
somebody has this. Oh. My favorite is well, it's just
been hanging on the wall in the family for you know,
fifty years. Well it's worth one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Those are so much better, those scenarios than the ones
like the cocky guys that show up and go, I
found an ancient samurai sword here. It was passed down
through my family, Like is your family from China? No
or more? Mostly a Dutch people. But I found this
and he looked at it and go, this is a knockoff.
(04:47):
Someone bought this at Knobby's thirty five years ago.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I like those.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
You shut the guy down. And it's so funny because
he shows up there going they got this really rare thing.
I'm looking to get at least twenty five thousand for it.
And they look at it and go, this is a
this is a piece of garbage. This is this is
something that I I'd let my own kid destroy in
the backyard. And he's like, all right, how about ten
(05:12):
thoughts like no, we're not we're not buying this.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
They put together a whole bunch of mad people from
constars or even you to it. But they've got a
collection of all of the people that came in that
ended up getting mad.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Oh that's great, Yeah, that is good. Yeah. Once in
a while, if the person's cool about it, if the
guy is like, ah, shoot, I thought I had something.
Sometimes he's like, yeah, you know what, I'll give you
one hundred bucks for it. It makes good TV, makes
the guy happy. They have a good laugh, and the
guy probably turns around and sells it for three hundred dollars.
But it is a business after all. But if you
(05:48):
still have some of those old tops cards, if you've
got a mint condition Luke Skywalker, shoot, how much is
the Han Solo worth? Hans Solo is a lot cooler
than Luke Skywalker? Am I saying something controversial? The Han
Solo is cooler, way cooler than Luke Skywalker. For one thing,
(06:11):
way Hotter didn't make out with his sister.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Well, he did make out with Luke's sister.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, but he didn't make out with his own sister.
And uh, you know, not to blame Princess Leiah. She
didn't know. She's just like, all right, not a lot
of guys out here in this ship, in this galaxy.
It's either them or this Wookie. So yeah, over eighty
(06:39):
thousand dollars, I probably have just.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
This ship a Wookie.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I don't know what other options.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
It's what you just said.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
If she's like, look, I.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Well, I guess you're better than a Wookie.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It's a droid. It's a Wookie or my brother. The
options are limited.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I'm going with the droid and see.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Well not see three. I doubt he's into.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Her if you catch my drift, but he looks good.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yes. McDonald's Japan has just canceled a Happy Meal campaign
that got destroyed by adults. Here's what they wanted to do.
McDonald's Japan had a bunch of Happy meals, which are
called happy sets in Japan. They're not called happy meals,
they're happy sets in Japan. They were meant for children,
(07:28):
and they came with a toy such as a tiny
plastic Pokemon character and a card and immediately the adults
are like, we've seen this before. It's something for kids,
and these things will be or maybe potentially worth something.
So the adults go in there and they absolutely destroyed it.
(07:51):
On the first day, so many adults went on there
that they sold out of the Happy Sets and the
Pokemon cards, and the adults didn't even want the food.
All the food was just chucked outside. The trash cans
were full of food. No one wanted that food. They
just wanted the toy inside. The kids who actually wanted
the toys inside were like, but well, there's no toy. Sorry,
(08:11):
there's no Happy meals. That guy over there just bought
a whole bunch of them. Some of these popular Pokemon
cards sell for a thousand dollars or more. So if
you go in there and buy a handful of Happy Sets,
I don't know, five bucks apiece or whatever, you could
probably make some pretty good money. And they got completely
destroyed by the adults. I've seen people do this. Beanie
babies got ruined when adults were suddenly destroying all of that.
(08:35):
Did you ever have anything that a fast food restaurant
was selling and you're like, I have to have this
toy that they're offering.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Oh on the toy thing, No, just one for me.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Did you do it the California Raisins when I was
a kid, Nope, not me. Parties had four weeks of
California Raisins and they would be releasing, like a Sunday
or something, and we would the kids would line up,
We'd ride our bikes over to Harty's. Thankfully there was
one in my neighborhood at the time, and we'd get
the new California Raisin and I still have them. They're
(09:10):
probably not worth eighty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
No, I'm surprised this happened in Japan because Japan. The
culture in Japan there's so much more polite.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
What didn't say was Japanese people doing it.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Oh, that's true.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
In the Zonker's custom was inbox. As I mentioned earlier
this hour, that someone is selling a mint condition Star
Wars nineteen seventy seven tops Luke Skywalker card, the number
one card in that series. It's Luke Skywalker's rookie card
or who had the pun Ralph email says, you're talking
(09:47):
about the Star Wars rookie card. Are you sure it's
not a Wookie card?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Just as you started to say that it's I bet
that I know what is? Is it?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
So disappointed that I didn't come up with that? But
I was talking about that and all the different cards
I had, the trading cards from various movies and TV
shows of the age. Corley emails and says, how big
of a nerd does one have to be to have
a Tops, Mork and Mindy card? Just wondering, all right,
(10:19):
First of all, I was a kid. Second of all,
I had a lot of those cards, and I still
have them. They're in various shoe boxes with all the
other football, baseball, and basketball cards that I would collect
throughout mostly the late eighties early nineties. Oh, Scott, do
you still have a lot of good valuable cards? No,
I turned sixteen and needed gas money, which, as it
(10:42):
turns out, when I turned sixteen in nineteen ninety two,
that's when sports trading cards were hitting a nice peak
on that wave of how valuable they were, And I
could sell a John Elway Rookie card and get several
tanks of gas between how much the card was worth
then how cheap gas was. I was pretty much able
(11:03):
to supplement my my rich lifestyle. The time of driving
back and forth across Ralston to chicken out before I
knocked on girls doors. I had quite the quite the lifestyle,
and I was able to supplement that lifestyle by selling
a lot of trading cards that I wish I had.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Now, you would just show up at a girl's house.
I would drive b knock on the door, just drive.
Sometimes I would just drive.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Sometimes sometimes I would get the nerve to actually go
up and knock.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Uh huh, And how did that go over?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I would hear people on the other side of the door,
and it looked like the curtains were moving to see
who was there. And but I guess I must have
been mistaken because no one answered, which meant they weren't home.
There was one girl went to a different high school,
and we started chatting and talking all that, and she said,
why don't you come over to my house? And I said,
(12:00):
she goes right now, Like great. I went over there
and knocked on the door and knocked on the door,
knocked on the door. She never answered.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I never called her again. She might still be dead
in that house. I don't know what happened. I was like,
you lead me on, forget that.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I thought she just wanted you to come and mow lawn.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Why don't you come to my house right now?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
My parents aren't home, and I don't know who's gonna
mow this lawn. Like, Oh, shoot, that's not what I
wanted at all. Anyway, I got emails here. Ron says
I had several complete sets of Star Wars cards, and
he says, I'm sure I had the Luke Skywalker Rookie
card you're talking about, which, by the way, is they're
(12:45):
thinking is worth upwards of eighty thousand dollars. My gosh,
if I have any either destroyed, but mine would would
have been in mint condition because I kept him in
sleeves to protect him. My own problem. My mom gave
them to a brother who sold them at a garage sale.
I hope whoever bought them appreciates what they have. They
(13:09):
probably gave him to their kid who just put him
in his mouth, right, Oh.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
You said Wookie, Yeah, I thought you said Cookie.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
They had the little Star Wars action figures. This is
still a famous comment in my family. We were playing
with our Little Star Wars action figures and my cousin
Kurt put the Chewbacca in his mouth and was chewing
on him and we said, why why do you have
that in your mouth? And he looked at it and said,
because he's chewy. Oh a great pun by my probably
(13:45):
four year old cousin at the time. Brilliant, it's so brilliant.
Are you getting your medical advice these days from doctors
or chat? GPT? Is getting your medical advice from AI?
At GPT any worse than consulting doctor Google.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I think doctors are getting their information from chat.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Actually that to jump ahead to the next story, Illinois,
along with now Nevada and Utah, has enacted a new
law barring the use of doctors using AI in conducting
This is specifically for mental health therapy. They said, yeah,
you're talking to a doctor and they're like, wow, you
(14:31):
got problems with your dad? Huh? And they got their
phone out. Let's see problems with dad. You know, AI
spits out, you know whatever it is that the doctor
is supposed to say. You just lie there on the
couch and look that way. I'll be over here on
my tablet. They apparently there are people doing it in sessions,
probably online sessions. A lot of people do telemedicine now
(14:53):
zoom sessions that kind of thing, and they said, look,
when you're especially getting mental health therapy from a mental
health professional, they shouldn't be consulting AI because there are
all sorts of evidence, the stories out there showing conversations
about users suddenly being sent down a rabbit hole of
theories about aliens and the apocalypse and the Jews and
(15:19):
whatever else AI decides to throw at you. And you're like, wow,
I came here because I was experiencing a little depression.
And then AI said, well, it's probably because of the Jews. Like,
what the heck is going on here?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
AI?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Does that chet sometimes?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Really? Well, you know how this was a liberal program?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Well anymore, standing up for Palestine and speaking out against
the Jews is a pretty liberal thing for some of
these unwashed masses out there occupying college campuses and streets.
But be that as it may, I don't know how
this AI thing works. It seems like whenever they try
and have a bot learn, it immediately turns racist and
(16:03):
anti semitic because of all the comments made online.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Because that's what it uses to create its base.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
How it learns, it learns from all the people posting
all the stuff out there, Well, I don't know. How
else to describe.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
It, composes, compresses, gathers.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
So people are going to chat GPT to ask them
about like medical like health and medical advice. No it's not.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I mean, well for mental health, right if you for
any hell, I.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Mean you've got to take it with a grain of bromide.
There's a reason why I say that. But it's the
same thing as when people are going on Google and
saying like, my hair seems thin, seems like it's getting thinner,
and Google's like, well, you probably have hair cancer. You know.
It's anytime you ever checked with doctor Google, it was
(17:01):
always something like, oh my gosh, I didn't know is
this bad? And now the same thing's happening with chat GPT.
Here's a story about someone that says, all right, I'm
sixty years old and I weighed this much, I'm this tall,
and I want to be more healthy. What I what
(17:21):
do I need to either add or subtract from my
diet to be healthy? And chat GPT said, I tell
you what you got to do, and then started him
down a health regimen that had him having a bunch
of bromide in his diet. Bromide is often used for
(17:41):
like disinfecting swimming pool water. Sodium bromide the symptoms of
advanced bromism, not broism, symptoms of advanced broisms. Yeah, Symptoms
of advanced broism includes saying a lot and wanting to
(18:02):
surf even though your closest body of water is Lake Manawa. Anyway,
Symptoms of advanced bromism include schizophrenic like psychotic behavior and hallucinations.
So this guy showed up at a hospital believing his
neighbor was poisoning him, and he was incredibly thirsty because
(18:24):
I guess he hadn't had any real water in a
very long time. They lived in Valle No, the brown
water thing. No, he had also like facial acne and insomnia.
Why are you still doing the same thing if these
are all of your symptoms?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Probably he thought it was the neighbor. He didn't know
it was what he was doing to himself.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah, he got super crazy. He'd been swapping sodium chloride
for sodium bromide in his diet for three months because
chat GPT said it'd probably be a good idea, it would.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Be a good idea to switch them.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, yeah, So sodium chloride's table salt and so Chat
GPT said, well, eliminate sodium chloride from your diet. And
he's like, okay, well what do I use as a supplement?
And I guess chat GPT didn't know was talking with
a human, thought it was talking with a swimming pool,
(19:21):
and said, well, how about sodium bromide?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I question that story.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
There's all kinds of stories out there of people consulting
AI for help, and even in some instances where AI
is providing a value, it's providing some level of detailed information.
That's good information. What it also is providing is an
(19:48):
escape from communicating with humans. And people are having relationships
with their chat bot and they're like, I don't need
humans in my life. Got groc or whatever, And that's
probably not real healthy either. Have relationships with real humans.
(20:09):
Those always work out great?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Well, now, come on, they don't always work out great,
but they're better than you. We're supposed to be in
communion with each other. We're supposed to be together and well,
we're supposed to be loving each other though too.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah, how's that?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
And that's not going very well in the world.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Do you think that with all of the political ranker
that's out there, and there are legitimate relationships, friends, family,
social media, whatever, that have been completely ripped apart because
of politics. Do you do you ever think that two
people who hate each other right now because of Trump,
(20:54):
do you ever think somewhere down the line that they
will ever come back on the same page.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Sure, anything's possible.
Speaker 1 (21:02):

It's what you just said.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
If she's like, look, I.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Well, I guess you're better than a Wookie.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It's a droid. It's a Wookie or my brother. The
options are limited.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I'm going with the droid and see.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Well not see three. I doubt he's into.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Her if you catch my drift, but he looks good.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yes. McDonald's Japan has just canceled a Happy Meal campaign
that got destroyed by adults. Here's what they wanted to do.
McDonald's Japan had a bunch of Happy meals, which are
called happy sets in Japan. They're not called happy meals,
they're happy sets in Japan. They were meant for children,
(07:28):
and they came with a toy such as a tiny
plastic Pokemon character and a card and immediately the adults
are like, we've seen this before. It's something for kids,
and these things will be or maybe potentially worth something.
So the adults go in there and they absolutely destroyed it.
(07:51):
On the first day, so many adults went on there
that they sold out of the Happy Sets and the
Pokemon cards, and the adults didn't even want the food.
All the food was just chucked outside. The trash cans
were full of food. No one wanted that food. They
just wanted the toy inside. The kids who actually wanted
the toys inside were like, but well, there's no toy. Sorry,
(08:11):
there's no Happy meals. That guy over there just bought
a whole bunch of them. Some of these popular Pokemon
cards sell for a thousand dollars or more. So if
you go in there and buy a handful of Happy Sets,
I don't know, five bucks apiece or whatever, you could
probably make some pretty good money. And they got completely
destroyed by the adults. I've seen people do this. Beanie
babies got ruined when adults were suddenly destroying all of that.
(08:35):
Did you ever have anything that a fast food restaurant
was selling and you're like, I have to have this
toy that they're offering.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Oh on the toy thing, No, just one for me.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Did you do it the California Raisins when I was
a kid, Nope, not me. Parties had four weeks of
California Raisins and they would be releasing, like a Sunday
or something, and we would the kids would line up,
We'd ride our bikes over to Harty's. Thankfully there was
one in my neighborhood at the time, and we'd get
the new California Raisin and I still have them. They're
(09:10):
probably not worth eighty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
No, I'm surprised this happened in Japan because Japan. The
culture in Japan there's so much more polite.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
What didn't say was Japanese people doing it.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Oh, that's true.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
In the Zonker's custom was inbox. As I mentioned earlier
this hour, that someone is selling a mint condition Star
Wars nineteen seventy seven tops Luke Skywalker card, the number
one card in that series. It's Luke Skywalker's rookie card
or who had the pun Ralph email says, you're talking
(09:47):
about the Star Wars rookie card. Are you sure it's
not a Wookie card?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Just as you started to say that it's I bet
that I know what is? Is it?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
So disappointed that I didn't come up with that? But
I was talking about that and all the different cards
I had, the trading cards from various movies and TV
shows of the age. Corley emails and says, how big
of a nerd does one have to be to have
a Tops, Mork and Mindy card? Just wondering, all right,
(10:19):
First of all, I was a kid. Second of all,
I had a lot of those cards, and I still
have them. They're in various shoe boxes with all the
other football, baseball, and basketball cards that I would collect
throughout mostly the late eighties early nineties. Oh, Scott, do
you still have a lot of good valuable cards? No,
I turned sixteen and needed gas money, which, as it
(10:42):
turns out, when I turned sixteen in nineteen ninety two,
that's when sports trading cards were hitting a nice peak
on that wave of how valuable they were, And I
could sell a John Elway Rookie card and get several
tanks of gas between how much the card was worth
then how cheap gas was. I was pretty much able
(11:03):
to supplement my my rich lifestyle. The time of driving
back and forth across Ralston to chicken out before I
knocked on girls doors. I had quite the quite the lifestyle,
and I was able to supplement that lifestyle by selling
a lot of trading cards that I wish I had.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Now, you would just show up at a girl's house.
I would drive b knock on the door, just drive.
Sometimes I would just drive.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Sometimes sometimes I would get the nerve to actually go
up and knock.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Uh huh, And how did that go over?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I would hear people on the other side of the door,
and it looked like the curtains were moving to see
who was there. And but I guess I must have
been mistaken because no one answered, which meant they weren't home.
There was one girl went to a different high school,
and we started chatting and talking all that, and she said,
why don't you come over to my house? And I said,
(12:00):
she goes right now, Like great. I went over there
and knocked on the door and knocked on the door,
knocked on the door. She never answered.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I never called her again. She might still be dead
in that house. I don't know what happened. I was like,
you lead me on, forget that.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I thought she just wanted you to come and mow lawn.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Why don't you come to my house right now?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
My parents aren't home, and I don't know who's gonna
mow this lawn. Like, Oh, shoot, that's not what I
wanted at all. Anyway, I got emails here. Ron says
I had several complete sets of Star Wars cards, and
he says, I'm sure I had the Luke Skywalker Rookie
card you're talking about, which, by the way, is they're
(12:45):
thinking is worth upwards of eighty thousand dollars. My gosh,
if I have any either destroyed, but mine would would
have been in mint condition because I kept him in
sleeves to protect him. My own problem. My mom gave
them to a brother who sold them at a garage sale.
I hope whoever bought them appreciates what they have. They
(13:09):
probably gave him to their kid who just put him
in his mouth, right, Oh.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
You said Wookie, Yeah, I thought you said Cookie.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
They had the little Star Wars action figures. This is
still a famous comment in my family. We were playing
with our Little Star Wars action figures and my cousin
Kurt put the Chewbacca in his mouth and was chewing
on him and we said, why why do you have
that in your mouth? And he looked at it and said,
because he's chewy. Oh a great pun by my probably
(13:45):
four year old cousin at the time. Brilliant, it's so brilliant.
Are you getting your medical advice these days from doctors
or chat? GPT? Is getting your medical advice from AI?
At GPT any worse than consulting doctor Google.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I think doctors are getting their information from chat.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Actually that to jump ahead to the next story, Illinois,
along with now Nevada and Utah, has enacted a new
law barring the use of doctors using AI in conducting
This is specifically for mental health therapy. They said, yeah,
you're talking to a doctor and they're like, wow, you
(14:31):
got problems with your dad? Huh? And they got their
phone out. Let's see problems with dad. You know, AI
spits out, you know whatever it is that the doctor
is supposed to say. You just lie there on the
couch and look that way. I'll be over here on
my tablet. They apparently there are people doing it in sessions,
probably online sessions. A lot of people do telemedicine now
(14:53):
zoom sessions that kind of thing, and they said, look,
when you're especially getting mental health therapy from a mental
health professional, they shouldn't be consulting AI because there are
all sorts of evidence, the stories out there showing conversations
about users suddenly being sent down a rabbit hole of
theories about aliens and the apocalypse and the Jews and
(15:19):
whatever else AI decides to throw at you. And you're like, wow,
I came here because I was experiencing a little depression.
And then AI said, well, it's probably because of the Jews. Like,
what the heck is going on here?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
AI?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Does that chet sometimes?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Really? Well, you know how this was a liberal program?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Well anymore, standing up for Palestine and speaking out against
the Jews is a pretty liberal thing for some of
these unwashed masses out there occupying college campuses and streets.
But be that as it may, I don't know how
this AI thing works. It seems like whenever they try
and have a bot learn, it immediately turns racist and
(16:03):
anti semitic because of all the comments made online.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Because that's what it uses to create its base.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
How it learns, it learns from all the people posting
all the stuff out there, Well, I don't know. How
else to describe.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
It, composes, compresses, gathers.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
So people are going to chat GPT to ask them
about like medical like health and medical advice. No it's not.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I mean, well for mental health, right if you for
any hell, I.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Mean you've got to take it with a grain of bromide.
There's a reason why I say that. But it's the
same thing as when people are going on Google and
saying like, my hair seems thin, seems like it's getting thinner,
and Google's like, well, you probably have hair cancer. You know.
It's anytime you ever checked with doctor Google, it was
(17:01):
always something like, oh my gosh, I didn't know is
this bad? And now the same thing's happening with chat GPT.
Here's a story about someone that says, all right, I'm
sixty years old and I weighed this much, I'm this tall,
and I want to be more healthy. What I what
(17:21):
do I need to either add or subtract from my
diet to be healthy? And chat GPT said, I tell
you what you got to do, and then started him
down a health regimen that had him having a bunch
of bromide in his diet. Bromide is often used for
(17:41):
like disinfecting swimming pool water. Sodium bromide the symptoms of
advanced bromism, not broism, symptoms of advanced broisms. Yeah, Symptoms
of advanced broism includes saying a lot and wanting to
(18:02):
surf even though your closest body of water is Lake Manawa. Anyway,
Symptoms of advanced bromism include schizophrenic like psychotic behavior and hallucinations.
So this guy showed up at a hospital believing his
neighbor was poisoning him, and he was incredibly thirsty because
(18:24):
I guess he hadn't had any real water in a
very long time. They lived in Valle No, the brown
water thing. No, he had also like facial acne and insomnia.
Why are you still doing the same thing if these
are all of your symptoms?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Probably he thought it was the neighbor. He didn't know
it was what he was doing to himself.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah, he got super crazy. He'd been swapping sodium chloride
for sodium bromide in his diet for three months because
chat GPT said it'd probably be a good idea, it would.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Be a good idea to switch them.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, yeah, So sodium chloride's table salt and so Chat
GPT said, well, eliminate sodium chloride from your diet. And
he's like, okay, well what do I use as a supplement?
And I guess chat GPT didn't know was talking with
a human, thought it was talking with a swimming pool,
(19:21):
and said, well, how about sodium bromide?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I question that story.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
There's all kinds of stories out there of people consulting
AI for help, and even in some instances where AI
is providing a value, it's providing some level of detailed information.
That's good information. What it also is providing is an
(19:48):
escape from communicating with humans. And people are having relationships
with their chat bot and they're like, I don't need
humans in my life. Got groc or whatever, And that's
probably not real healthy either. Have relationships with real humans.
(20:09):
Those always work out great?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Well, now, come on, they don't always work out great,
but they're better than you. We're supposed to be in
communion with each other. We're supposed to be together and well,
we're supposed to be loving each other though too.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah, how's that?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
And that's not going very well in the world.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Do you think that with all of the political ranker
that's out there, and there are legitimate relationships, friends, family,
social media, whatever, that have been completely ripped apart because
of politics. Do you do you ever think that two
people who hate each other right now because of Trump,
(20:54):
do you ever think somewhere down the line that they
will ever come back on the same page.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Sure, anything's possible.
