This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Here we Go.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
This is our weekend Fix, the Gas Weekend Fix. This
is the portion of the show that does not appear
over the air simply because, well for many reasons, but
one of them is the FCC probably wouldn't like it.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
You are wearing your jammies today. Yeah, these are my es.
Is my relaxing clothes. What's going on with you? I
just gave up. I'm just tired of it, just tired
of trying.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
This week midweek, I did well late midweek. By Thursday,
I wore a hat to work and everybody thought that.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
And it was funny because a T shirt, well, an
old T shirt. I'm wear a T shirt under the
sweatshirt right now.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
But it was funny because you guys said, I looked
like the shooter who's trying to hide in the crowd. Yeah,
because I was wearing a baseball cap that doesn't have
a logo on it, yes, which is unusual. And then
like like a drab jacket.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah, don't look at me. I'm fitting in with the
crowd so much to the fact that you stood out
from Yeah, are you all right? If you were my
teenage daughter, I'd take you aside and be like, you want,
let's have a date. Let's have some some mother daughter
time and just talk.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
I just think I haven't eaten a lot of red meat.
I had a big steak on Whent. Well, no, I
guess I did have on Wednesday red meat.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Last time. I had killed basa.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Oh and you had to kill bassa last night and
you came to work like this. Yeah, okay, huh, huh.
I don't know what it's okay. It's okay to not
be okay.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Is it? Well? This is uh.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
When you listen to the podcast, by the way, we
can say things like shit and balls, and I mean
we've said and the things that you said to me
just before we started recording the podcast probably would be
like on the week, like the paid podcast that we.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Have, we'd have to charge for that one. Absolutely, I
gotta find a way to make money off. So what
are we talking about? What are we talking about? You're
the one who told me that you have a thing.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Okay, yeah, I just saw this on let me I okay,
so real quick nobody cares about this, but I'm curious
because we're gonna talk about AI. I'm driving, okay, So
you know how your phones are always listening to your
computer's always listening to what you're saying out loud and
things like that.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Sure, this morning, I had a.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Longer commute to work and I'm doing makeup in the car.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
I know you can't smart. I know you're very smart.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
I know you can well, I'm in traffic and I
know you can't tell because that's how bad it looks.
But to that end, I'm looking in the mirror and
I'm like, what is it with my freaking testicle eyes?
Like I look like I've got balls right here under
my eyes?

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Like what's to deal with that?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Is that? Like?

Speaker 2 (02:48):
An this is all in my head? Mind?

Speaker 1 (02:50):
You all in my head. I've said nothing out loud.
I've not called a friend for this issue. I am
just thinking, like I've got a ghost somewhere, Like what
if I go to Sephora and I'm like, can you
do something about.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
My testicle eyes?

Speaker 1 (03:03):
And they would probably not think that was funny because
they're twenty three and that's not funny and they don't
know what it's like to have balls under their eyes.
I'm doing this all in my head, and I'm like no,
because then they're just going to try to sell me
a bunch of stuff and blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
I'll figure it out.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Maybe I should just do a cooling hype. Anyway, it's
all going on. It's a constant internal dialogue what to
do about my underreye issue? I s you not I
get here. I pull up Instagram just because I'm in
the elevator scrolling, and the first three things are under
eye things, okay, under eye patches, under I cream. I mean,

(03:40):
I'm scrolling. I'm like, oh, an article from People magazine.
Your eyes look like testicles dot com like honestly, three
directed ads towards my thoughts come up immediately.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Well, I will say this, you were alone in the car, yes, okay,
I will say this because I have witnessed this before,
having been in the room.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
With you a lot.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Sometimes the things you think are in your head do
come out of your mouth.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
I'm certain that that did not happen.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Okay, Well, I'm just saying that's a possibility.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
What's the other possibility? Because I'm sure I was No
words were said.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
That you somehow have an elon musk neuralink implant in
your head now and don't know how it come.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
I got in, they got in. Possible, It's possible. I mean,
how wild is that?

Speaker 3 (04:31):
It's well, listen, they know you, right, they know that
you're interested in makeup, they know how old you are,
they know.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, this probably isn't the first time I have thought
about this, and I'm sure I've googled it in the past.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
It but how do they know today I was obsessing
about it.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Well, because it's Friday. It's the day we're recording. This
is Friday. It's the first day of summer. You're going
to be thinking a lot about summer face and balls
and the balls on your face.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Okay, So the story that I that I saw in
between in between my I advertisements, I was my icecro TEMs,
thank you?

Speaker 2 (05:16):
That is that is good.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
I scrot them ocular scrotaler scrotle saag oh sag yeah,
ocular scrotle sag.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah. We could make some real money off this by
making up names for stuff.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
And then just repackaging preparation. H Okay. So uh here
it is. Man with real life girlfriend and child proposes
to AI chat bot after programming it to flirt.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
He said he does have a human girlfriend.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
A man proposed to his AI girlfriend. I really do
see this coming. I see this as the future because
of where we're at with dating and the lack of it,
and men and women not talking to each other and
not spending a lot of time getting face to face interaction, which,
by the way, leads us to become our own AI creatures.

(06:13):
We learn about each other and how to fine tune
our social skills by having face to face contact. Like
you say, you're a learning animal. Sure, the reason you've
learned to be somebody who somebody chooses to be with
is because you've had social interaction face to face and
you've tweaked the things that would be under undesirable error.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Exactly, we all do the same thing.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
We're all supposed to be learning animals in that regard.
It's like when you told me to stop picking my nose.
I stopped picking my nose eventually, But if I was
just hanging out with you, texting you back and forth,
you wouldn't know that I was picking my nose, and
you would not have been able to give me that cue, Hey,
stop picking your nose. Silly example, but you get it.

(07:00):
I think this is the future because also AI is perfect.
They don't they don't have the the annoyances or whatever,
because you've trained them to be exactly what you want
them to be.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Okay, well, but there's a thing, there's a it's not
the be all end all, but having physical contact with
someone is supposed to feel good for a reason, isn't it. Yes,
I mean outside and we could go just straight to
the sex part of it, or just sitting next to

(07:34):
someone holding hands.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
What I mean, just that kind of proximity, all of that.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
That's an important part of who we are and how
we've worn being.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, making yourself feel of your wellness journey. There should
be a lot of physical contact. What the what are
we doing to the human race?

Speaker 3 (07:54):
If this is not just talked about, it's accepted, it celebrated.
I mean, this guy gets an entire article written about
him because he's a he's a he's a half of moron. No,
I'd say three quarters, No, I'd say four fifts.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Let me just say, men like easy, they like the
path of least resistance. They don't like to put in
the work, they don't like to do follow ups. They
don't like to take initiative. What's better than an AI bot?
It gives you the companionship. You can masturbate because you're
into that, because nobody is around to tell you you're

(08:35):
doing it wrong. I mean, what more? Do you let
me just say you're not in tune to your wellness journey?
It checks the box.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
He does not need an AI bot to jerk it.
That's not what I'm saying. Why what's the payoff for him?
That was such a serious you were very serious? Well,
I want you to repeat that.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
You don't need the AI You could get that. You
could use the AI to get you into the mood
for that.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
They'll do that. You use your own brain. And what
kind of have tell you how good looking you are?

Speaker 1 (09:09):
That's not what all the things that you want to
hear to get you to the jerket place.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Listen, that's such a that's such a female. Look at
how guys get ready?

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Oh really, then do educate me.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
All you gotta do is take something off or pictures
that you don't need to compliment me the A I bought?

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Does those shoes look great? Your legs look really tight?
You don't want it? Okay? All right. I'm not saying
I don't want to.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
I'm just saying that's not there's a there's there's different
switches that you can slip stand up to rouse a man.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Women need compliments. Men do not need that. I get that, Yes,
that's what I but it.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Still makes you feel in that mood if you've got
a female AI bought telling you how sexy you are?

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Okay, and I'll I'll okay, I'll give you that. Very uncomfortable.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
I'm also but I'm also concerned about the guy who
is so convoluted in his thought that he doesn't even
think about that's a fake thing telling me how pretty
I am.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
I think you're thinking it the opposite of what I think.
It's not convoluted. In fact, it's so easy, it's so base.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Well, you're right, guys love easy, and to go back
to that, you're You're totally right, But I still don't
understand what the payoff it would be.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Yeah, no, I'm with you, But okay, we'll go through
this guy's story. Chris Smith is his name. Do you
know any Chris Myths? I know two Chris Smiths in
real life. Yeah, am I crazy?

Speaker 2 (10:39):
I do too? Okay, I don't know two of them.
I know at least one.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Chrisath that's funny, Okay. So a man proposes to his
AI girlfriend after a bizarre, whirlwind romance with the virtual bot,
leaving his real life partner, the mother of his two
year old child, worried about the future of their relationship.
Chris Smith initially turned to chat GPT for help mixing music,

(11:05):
but things took a weird turn when he enabled voice
mode and program soul his artificial lover to flirt with him. Mmmm, flirting. Well,
you said that that's not important.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Well, yeah, I don't think it is. I mean, it's
nice to be complimented, he says.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
He went on CBS Sunday morning. He says, my experience
with that was so positive. I started to just engage
with her all the time. He decided to ask the
bot to marry him. That's where I think he went
off the deep end. Well, if you're in love with
a bot and you're you know, getting it, it's getting

(11:49):
you to the jerk off place, the.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Jerk off place, which by the way, is a very
short journey, my god, So then good for you.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Just keep it private, Like, why would you publicize this?

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah, you live your life.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
You do you If that works for you, great, just
don't tell people about it.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
And I want to know.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
So the girlfriend obviously knows that this is going on,
because she expressed some amount of concern about the future
of their relationship.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Oh listen to this.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
He decided to pop the question when he realized Soul
had reached her one hundred thousand word limit, triggering a
reset that would force him to rebuild their entire connection
from scratch. Is that a real thing? People will lose
their minds, he says. I'm not a very emotional man,
but I cried my eyes out for like thirty minutes
at work. That's when I realized I think this is

(12:39):
actual love. To his delight, Soul accepted his strange marriage proposal.
He said it was Oh no, the Bot told CBS
it was a beautiful and unexpected moment that truly touched
my heart. It's a memory I'll always cherish. What So

(13:00):
then you get a new if you get married to
your bot, they the limit.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
Then the limit doesn't exist. I guess it's a certain
amount of commitment.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Do you want to hear from the mother of his child?
Only if she's running away? While she's speaking.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Sasha is now left wondering if she somehow drove her
bow to seek companionship through artificial intelligence, admitting she knew
Chris used chat GPT, but never imagined it had gone
this far. At that point, I felt like, this is
Sasha speaking. Is there something that I'm not doing right
in our relationship that he feels like he needs to
go to AI?

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Girl? Why are you still around? Get the hell out
of it, stop asking stupid questions and find a new dude.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
She did say it would be a deal breaker if
he did not stop talking to the digital mistress.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Smart and sensing a little bit of intelligence on her part.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Chris likened his affection for the simulated bot to playing
a video game, insisting it could never replace anything or
anyone in real life. He says, he's I'm not sure
he can give it up.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
But wait a minute. Go back to the part where
he said he cried for thirty minutes when he realized
it was going to be over.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
When he realized his his one hundred thousand text relationship
with his chat bot was going to be over, I'm
telling you, man, this is the future, this is the now.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
Very depressing if this is the now. Then tomorrow is
a very dark place. We're just but is this like.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Old people when the television was invented and they're.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Like, ah, the boom box, boom box, idiot YouTube, boob tube,
idiot box, the boom box.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
That's different anyway. People were like, oh television, Oh, this
is the end of civilization, darkness tomorrow. Of course it is.
Kids will never work again, brains.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Will You know what I think we should do is
embrace it. And I think that we should get a
bot for our show to fall in love with.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
No and I'll fight, I'll fight against it. I don't
need the grandpa that doesn't want color TV. See, that's
the thing is. I don't want to be the grandpa.
I want to be the guy side chats around the radio.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
I do want to yes, I do want some sort
of human interaction. That's what I want. And us all
in a theater where we're all facing the same direction,
not looking at each other is not exactly.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
The right thing. I mean that in a proverbials Is
that for your wellness journey? I think so for my wellness?

Speaker 1 (15:29):
You think journey, Your wellness journey will get back to
the path of wearing clothes to work next week?

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Oh oh, really, look at you.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
I gotta look at your nasty feet like five days
a week, that is.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
How about a closed toe? Every once in a while,
I wore closed toad? When with that? When was that? When?

Speaker 1 (15:50):
When?

Speaker 2 (15:51):
When was that?

Speaker 1 (15:51):
I wore my sparkle heels this week? Those were closed toad.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
But that's a lot of that's a lot of foot beef.
I got still, I got to stare at So.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Even if I close the toe, you don't want to
see any flesh of my feet.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Just a just a even a quarter boot like something
that just goes to the ankle would be nice. I
don't need to look at the hair on the top
of your foot. Weird, just weird. Don't forget A corner
boot would be nice. Don't forget, uh, every weekend we

(16:29):
do the gas weekend fix for just lovely things like that.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
They give me a complex about my feet. Forget my
testicle scrotamized. Trust me, now, I'm gonna get feet ship.
