[00:00:10] Why you always got to look at me like that?
[00:00:12] Well, I can't very much look at you with my feet, alright?
[00:00:15] I haven't transcended that barrier yet.
[00:00:18] I would like to know how people stay still.
[00:00:22] How people stay still?
[00:00:23] What do you mean?
[00:00:24] Because I just like...
[00:00:26] Is it poverty?
[00:00:27] Is that the answer?
[00:00:28] No.
[00:00:29] You ever see that?
[00:00:29] No.
[00:00:30] You ever see that tweet that was like,
[00:00:31] I wonder why people don't just go travel the world and see things
[00:00:35] and it's such a great big world out there
[00:00:37] and it was like a picture of them on some beach.
[00:00:40] And the top comment was like,
[00:00:42] because most of us are struggling to buy bread.
[00:00:47] It's like,
[00:00:49] how do you tell that someone is privileged
[00:00:53] without them telling you like straight up like,
[00:00:55] I'm rich and I can do things?
[00:00:57] It's like little things like that where they just,
[00:00:58] they have no concept of the world outside of their own.
[00:01:01] They're like, why doesn't everybody do that?
[00:01:02] I think we talked about it before,
[00:01:04] but the elementary school kids
[00:01:06] from like that private elementary school
[00:01:08] who they were like giving...
[00:01:10] free meals to
[00:01:12] and one of the kids was like crying
[00:01:13] because he couldn't understand the tastes
[00:01:16] of all the other kids like
[00:01:19] proclivities and whatnot
[00:01:20] or it was like airplanes
[00:01:21] because they were like,
[00:01:23] oh man, this guy,
[00:01:24] he's never flown in first class before.
[00:01:26] He must be poor.
[00:01:27] And then he just come to find out
[00:01:29] that he's only flown on his family's private jet.
[00:01:32] Yeah.
[00:01:32] Okay.
[00:01:34] I want to have fuck you money,
[00:01:36] you know.
[00:01:37] That's what they call it.
[00:01:38] Like money from fucking people?
[00:01:40] No, like where you have so much money,
[00:01:42] it doesn't matter what you do or buy.
[00:01:44] Like I would love to be so rich.
[00:01:46] I could just go to a store like
[00:01:47] Neiman Marcus or like a designer store
[00:01:50] and just buy whatever I want
[00:01:51] and not have to check my bank account,
[00:01:53] not have to look at the price tag.
[00:01:54] Like that sounds pretty cool.
[00:01:56] I think that's not fucking money.
[00:01:59] I think that's just like money where
[00:02:02] that's what people used to be able to do
[00:02:04] in like the 70s
[00:02:05] when they were middle class
[00:02:06] is go to the store and be like,
[00:02:08] oh cool, bread, eggs, milk, cheese.
[00:02:11] I'll buy it and not have to go,
[00:02:14] man, I wonder which one I won't get this week
[00:02:16] because my paycheck was too low.
[00:02:17] Yeah, that's true.
[00:02:18] I mean that's very different.
[00:02:20] That's valid.
[00:02:21] FU money is like you'll go somewhere
[00:02:23] or do something
[00:02:24] that no one else could ever dream of doing
[00:02:26] and you don't care about it
[00:02:28] because you're like,
[00:02:29] fuck you, I can do it.
[00:02:31] I don't think I'd like to be uber rich.
[00:02:33] The only reason why I would
[00:02:34] would be like what we just said,
[00:02:37] getting to travel.
[00:02:37] Like I want to go to one of those little
[00:02:42] private hut things on the water
[00:02:44] like in the Maldives so fucking bad
[00:02:46] but I've looked them up
[00:02:47] and just one night is so expensive.
[00:02:50] I'm like,
[00:02:51] it's like half a car payment.
[00:02:53] Half a car payment?
[00:02:54] Like half of a full car payment,
[00:02:56] like 10 grand a night
[00:02:57] just for the little hut.
[00:02:58] That doesn't include all the amenities
[00:03:00] and food and everything else like that
[00:03:02] that you need to pay for.
[00:03:04] Like I'm sure there's cheaper ones
[00:03:07] and more expensive ones
[00:03:08] but I just,
[00:03:09] that is luxury to me.
[00:03:12] Sleeping above water.
[00:03:14] I think a lot of-
[00:03:14] Think about to look at the fish in the floor?
[00:03:16] Oh yes.
[00:03:17] I think we should go to a country
[00:03:19] that's, you know,
[00:03:21] a little poor
[00:03:22] and you'd be like,
[00:03:23] wow,
[00:03:23] they get to sleep near fish
[00:03:24] and they're like,
[00:03:25] yeah,
[00:03:25] we like our food source close
[00:03:26] because that's,
[00:03:27] there's no Walmart.
[00:03:28] They can't,
[00:03:29] you know.
[00:03:30] I don't know.
[00:03:31] Are poorer countries happier?
[00:03:34] Like people in poorer countries?
[00:03:35] I think there's a threshold.
[00:03:37] Like you can only become,
[00:03:39] I feel like you can only become so poor
[00:03:43] to the point where if it's like a struggle,
[00:03:45] then it's,
[00:03:46] you know,
[00:03:47] a little too much.
[00:03:48] Actually,
[00:03:48] all the happiest countries in the world
[00:03:50] are like the ones that make a lot of money.
[00:03:52] Well,
[00:03:52] yeah,
[00:03:53] that's because you can afford things.
[00:03:54] Guess who's not on the list?
[00:03:55] I saw that too.
[00:03:56] That was like,
[00:03:58] the phrase money can't buy happiness
[00:04:00] was not meant for like,
[00:04:02] money doesn't give you happiness.
[00:04:03] It was meant for like,
[00:04:05] yes,
[00:04:05] you shouldn't be so obsessed with things
[00:04:07] that material things aren't,
[00:04:09] you know,
[00:04:09] this and that.
[00:04:10] You're like,
[00:04:10] yeah,
[00:04:10] it's only in a,
[00:04:11] that phrase really only applies to people
[00:04:13] who are the uber rich people.
[00:04:15] We're not even in the top 20
[00:04:17] in the United States.
[00:04:18] No,
[00:04:19] I mean,
[00:04:19] we used to be.
[00:04:20] What do you think the happiest country
[00:04:21] in the world was
[00:04:22] as of this year?
[00:04:26] It's gotta be,
[00:04:29] I mean like Sweden,
[00:04:31] maybe Norway.
[00:04:32] What is it?
[00:04:34] Sweden is number four.
[00:04:35] Okay.
[00:04:36] Norway is number seven.
[00:04:37] Okay.
[00:04:39] Finland.
[00:04:40] Finland.
[00:04:40] Oh my gosh,
[00:04:41] I'm good at this.
[00:04:42] Third guess.
[00:04:42] Also,
[00:04:43] I cannot hear the word Finland
[00:04:44] without thinking about
[00:04:45] Monty Python's Spamalot,
[00:04:46] the musical,
[00:04:47] because it opens with the song
[00:04:49] Finland,
[00:04:50] Finland,
[00:04:50] Finland.
[00:04:51] That's the country for me.
[00:04:53] And now I know why.
[00:04:54] The Finnish people are just very happy.
[00:04:56] Guess where America is?
[00:04:59] Probably like 42,
[00:05:00] maybe 36.
[00:05:01] Not as bad.
[00:05:03] 23.
[00:05:04] What I find interesting
[00:05:06] is Lithuania
[00:05:08] is
[00:05:09] 19.
[00:05:11] What's in Lithuania?
[00:05:13] In Lithuania?
[00:05:14] I have no idea.
[00:05:15] Like,
[00:05:15] I heard of it,
[00:05:16] of course,
[00:05:17] but I don't know what's there.
[00:05:18] Do they have people?
[00:05:19] Whoa,
[00:05:19] Lithuania is beautiful.
[00:05:21] Holy shit.
[00:05:23] Yeah.
[00:05:23] Oh my God.
[00:05:25] The Hill of Crosses,
[00:05:29] Castle Towers,
[00:05:30] beautiful lakeside.
[00:05:31] I'm thinking of somewhere else.
[00:05:33] Modern cities.
[00:05:34] Oh my God,
[00:05:35] we should go to Lithuania.
[00:05:36] Oh,
[00:05:37] I was not thinking of
[00:05:38] that was where Lithuania was
[00:05:40] for some reason.
[00:05:41] For some reason,
[00:05:41] I mean,
[00:05:42] it's right next to Finland,
[00:05:43] Norway,
[00:05:43] Sweden,
[00:05:44] like all the,
[00:05:44] all the Nordic countries
[00:05:46] right there.
[00:05:46] That makes sense.
[00:05:48] It's famous for its landscapes,
[00:05:49] plains,
[00:05:50] abundant forests,
[00:05:51] lakes,
[00:05:51] and swamps.
[00:05:52] Okay,
[00:05:52] I'm going to add that
[00:05:53] to our bucket list.
[00:05:54] We should go to Lithuania.
[00:05:55] We got to look through
[00:05:56] that thousand things to do list
[00:05:59] and like,
[00:06:00] pick some good ones
[00:06:00] out of there.
[00:06:02] Yeah,
[00:06:03] there's so much
[00:06:04] in this world to do.
[00:06:05] I don't know how
[00:06:05] we're ever going to do
[00:06:05] all of it.
[00:06:06] Oh,
[00:06:07] it's going to be slow.
[00:06:08] No,
[00:06:09] because of the whole
[00:06:09] debt thing.
[00:06:11] But,
[00:06:11] I'm paying it off.
[00:06:12] I'm sorry.
[00:06:13] We're working on it.
[00:06:15] I'm doing better
[00:06:16] Let's go to Chad.
[00:06:18] Chad what?
[00:06:19] Oh,
[00:06:20] like the country?
[00:06:22] No.
[00:06:23] Chadwick,
[00:06:24] my old friend from college.
[00:06:27] Let's go to him.
[00:06:28] He has many things to say.
[00:06:33] Rip Chadwick Boseman.
[00:06:36] Anyway.
[00:06:39] Is this the part
[00:06:40] where I do the intro?
[00:06:41] No,
[00:06:41] that was several minutes ago.
[00:06:43] Oh my gosh.
[00:06:43] No,
[00:06:44] it's now.
[00:06:44] Do you know
[00:06:45] what episode we're on?
[00:06:47] 89?
[00:06:48] Wow,
[00:06:48] that is surprisingly
[00:06:49] not right.
[00:06:50] What is it?
[00:06:51] It's 90.
[00:06:52] This is episode 90.
[00:06:53] Fuck,
[00:06:53] why am I always like
[00:06:54] one off?
[00:06:55] You suck.
[00:06:56] I don't know.
[00:06:57] Well,
[00:06:58] hello
[00:06:59] and welcome back
[00:07:00] to episode
[00:07:01] 90.
[00:07:02] Welcome back.
[00:07:03] Like there was another
[00:07:04] episode 90 that they missed.
[00:07:05] Welcome to episode 90
[00:07:06] of Mindless Parattle.
[00:07:09] I'm Ripley.
[00:07:10] That one over there
[00:07:10] is Jordan
[00:07:11] and we're your hosts.
[00:07:13] We're going to talk about
[00:07:14] stuff and things
[00:07:15] and we hope you like
[00:07:17] our new sound system.
[00:07:18] it sounds really good
[00:07:19] to me.
[00:07:20] I'm like,
[00:07:21] tell us what you think.
[00:07:22] I like feedback.
[00:07:24] I crave your validation.
[00:07:28] Still working on the
[00:07:29] video portion.
[00:07:30] Yeah.
[00:07:31] We got the audio.
[00:07:32] One thing at a time.
[00:07:36] Well,
[00:07:37] speaking of traveling,
[00:07:39] did you see,
[00:07:40] you know how you're
[00:07:40] at the airport a lot
[00:07:42] and when you're there,
[00:07:44] it,
[00:07:44] no,
[00:07:44] you've been to improv.
[00:07:45] It's yes and shut up.
[00:07:47] You know,
[00:07:48] I don't go to the airport a lot.
[00:07:50] Yes.
[00:07:51] And
[00:07:51] I can't get rid of me.
[00:07:55] Oh,
[00:07:58] anyway,
[00:07:58] the,
[00:08:00] you know,
[00:08:00] you're standing in line
[00:08:01] and you,
[00:08:02] uh,
[00:08:03] you get called up
[00:08:04] and they're like,
[00:08:04] we're now boarding
[00:08:05] my group two
[00:08:06] and you're like in
[00:08:07] group three or four
[00:08:08] and you're like,
[00:08:08] I just want to go sit
[00:08:09] on the plane
[00:08:10] so I can sit there
[00:08:11] for four hours early.
[00:08:13] Which I never understood
[00:08:14] why people were like
[00:08:14] arguing to get on the plane
[00:08:16] early and like
[00:08:16] fighting about it.
[00:08:17] I'm like,
[00:08:18] we're going the same place.
[00:08:19] The plane rides
[00:08:19] the same length.
[00:08:20] Yeah.
[00:08:21] You know what?
[00:08:21] That was something
[00:08:21] I found really interesting
[00:08:22] about doing stuff
[00:08:23] with your family
[00:08:24] is like when we take trips,
[00:08:25] like,
[00:08:25] your dad's family
[00:08:26] is just like,
[00:08:27] no,
[00:08:28] we'll wait until
[00:08:28] everybody else
[00:08:29] gets on the plane.
[00:08:29] I'm like,
[00:08:30] yeah,
[00:08:31] yeah,
[00:08:31] we'll just wait.
[00:08:32] Especially if there's a sign.
[00:08:34] Now,
[00:08:34] the only reason that I see
[00:08:35] to get on early
[00:08:36] is if like you and I
[00:08:38] are multiple people
[00:08:39] are traveling together
[00:08:40] and you want to sit together
[00:08:42] and there's no assigned seats.
[00:08:44] Then I could see
[00:08:44] getting on early
[00:08:45] to get seats together.
[00:08:46] That makes sense to me.
[00:08:48] But when you're
[00:08:49] all in the same group
[00:08:51] and you have assigned seats
[00:08:53] because a majority of airlines
[00:08:54] have assigned seats now.
[00:08:56] So when you have
[00:08:57] those assigned seats
[00:08:58] and even if you don't,
[00:08:59] if you're traveling
[00:09:00] by yourself
[00:09:00] and you're in a group,
[00:09:01] I just don't see the need
[00:09:03] to get on the plane early
[00:09:04] because the seats
[00:09:07] outside of the airplane
[00:09:08] are more comfortable.
[00:09:10] So if you want to sit down,
[00:09:11] sit down out there.
[00:09:13] Tell me why my brain was like,
[00:09:16] the seats outside the airplane,
[00:09:17] you can sit outside the airplane.
[00:09:19] And then I was like,
[00:09:20] oh wait,
[00:09:20] you mean like when you're waiting?
[00:09:21] They just bolt you down
[00:09:22] and give you a little air mask.
[00:09:25] Yes, dear.
[00:09:28] That'd be interesting, right?
[00:09:30] It would be deadly.
[00:09:31] In the airport
[00:09:32] would be a good one.
[00:09:34] You ever see that story
[00:09:34] of the guy,
[00:09:35] the pilot who got sucked
[00:09:37] out of the cockpit?
[00:09:39] What?
[00:09:40] Yeah.
[00:09:41] Hang on,
[00:09:42] I'll pull up a picture of it,
[00:09:43] but the...
[00:09:44] Great,
[00:09:45] more work for me
[00:09:45] on social media.
[00:09:46] The pilot
[00:09:48] got sucked out of the cockpit.
[00:09:50] Yeah.
[00:09:51] Not sucked off in the cockpit.
[00:10:00] There it is.
[00:10:01] It was in 1990.
[00:10:03] This is the picture
[00:10:04] of him
[00:10:06] as they were landing.
[00:10:07] Let me see if I can
[00:10:08] pull it up full screen.
[00:10:11] But yeah,
[00:10:12] so apparently
[00:10:12] while he was flying,
[00:10:15] the front window
[00:10:16] of the cockpit
[00:10:17] like tore off
[00:10:19] and he got sucked
[00:10:20] out of the cockpit
[00:10:21] and the people inside
[00:10:22] grabbed his legs
[00:10:24] and just held on to him
[00:10:26] so that he wouldn't fly off
[00:10:28] while they landed the plane.
[00:10:30] Take a look.
[00:10:32] This was him
[00:10:33] outside the cockpit
[00:10:34] just way back.
[00:10:36] I don't believe
[00:10:37] that he survived,
[00:10:38] but they held on to him.
[00:10:41] for an astonishingly
[00:10:43] long amount of time.
[00:10:45] Would you just like
[00:10:46] instantly pass out?
[00:10:48] Like,
[00:10:48] what's the atmosphere
[00:10:49] like up there?
[00:10:51] Yes.
[00:10:51] Oh, no.
[00:10:52] Actually,
[00:10:52] despite the extreme situation,
[00:10:54] he survived the incident.
[00:10:56] Maybe he didn't want to.
[00:10:57] That was in 1990.
[00:10:58] Crew members,
[00:10:58] particularly the flight attendant,
[00:11:00] managed to grab onto his legs
[00:11:02] and hold him in place
[00:11:03] until the plane could descend
[00:11:04] to a safer altitude.
[00:11:06] Hmm.
[00:11:07] That's what happened.
[00:11:08] Anyway,
[00:11:08] back to the lines.
[00:11:09] So you're in these lines
[00:11:10] and you're like,
[00:11:11] I'm in a hurry
[00:11:11] to get on the plane.
[00:11:13] So you jump ahead
[00:11:14] and you're like,
[00:11:15] I'm in group two now.
[00:11:16] Ha ha ha ha.
[00:11:16] Secret.
[00:11:18] Well,
[00:11:19] American Airlines
[00:11:19] is testing new ways,
[00:11:22] a new technology
[00:11:23] to catch
[00:11:24] early flight orders.
[00:11:26] People who are in zone
[00:11:27] for group four
[00:11:28] and they jump in
[00:11:29] with group two.
[00:11:30] Now what,
[00:11:31] based off of that headline,
[00:11:32] what do you think
[00:11:34] the technology is?
[00:11:36] Like,
[00:11:36] how would you implement
[00:11:37] that technology?
[00:11:38] I don't know.
[00:11:39] I feel like the easiest way
[00:11:40] would just be like
[00:11:40] when you scan their boarding pass,
[00:11:42] it pops up saying
[00:11:43] like group number
[00:11:46] or whatever
[00:11:46] and the person could be like,
[00:11:47] sorry,
[00:11:48] you got to go the fuck over there.
[00:11:49] You're not allowed in yet.
[00:11:50] Wouldn't you think
[00:11:51] that'd be the easiest thing?
[00:11:52] American Airlines
[00:11:53] testing this new tech.
[00:11:55] This is what they're doing.
[00:11:56] They're currently doing it
[00:11:57] at the Albuquerque
[00:11:58] International Sunport.
[00:12:00] Sunport?
[00:12:01] I read Sunsport
[00:12:02] for some reason.
[00:12:03] Sunsport.
[00:12:04] We are not sponsored.
[00:12:06] And Tuscan International Airport.
[00:12:09] Tucson.
[00:12:10] It's not Tuscan.
[00:12:10] And I'm reading all wrong today.
[00:12:12] It's crazy.
[00:12:14] So they've tested it there.
[00:12:16] They've had happy results
[00:12:17] and are pleased with them so far.
[00:12:20] The new technology,
[00:12:21] all it is,
[00:12:23] is when you scan your boarding pass,
[00:12:25] you're mostly correct,
[00:12:26] by the way,
[00:12:26] is when you scan your boarding pass
[00:12:28] and it makes that sound,
[00:12:29] it's just going to make
[00:12:30] a different sound.
[00:12:31] and it's up to the flight
[00:12:33] or the gate attendant
[00:12:34] to notice the differences
[00:12:35] in the sound.
[00:12:38] That's so stupid.
[00:12:39] I don't know why
[00:12:39] it couldn't just pop up
[00:12:40] with like a red X
[00:12:41] and say,
[00:12:42] don't come on yet.
[00:12:43] When they scan,
[00:12:43] they literally have like a monitor
[00:12:44] right there and everything.
[00:12:45] Right.
[00:12:45] So it could just pop up saying
[00:12:47] like not valid group
[00:12:48] or whatever, you know.
[00:12:49] That's why I was so confused
[00:12:51] when they were like,
[00:12:51] yes,
[00:12:52] we will do it this way.
[00:12:53] I'm like,
[00:12:54] that's okay.
[00:12:55] But yeah,
[00:12:56] I'm like,
[00:12:56] there's so many easier ways
[00:12:58] to do it.
[00:12:59] Especially when you
[00:13:00] are looking at the monitor
[00:13:01] and you're trying to train people
[00:13:02] to recognize
[00:13:03] the sound difference.
[00:13:05] Why not just have
[00:13:06] a number pop up?
[00:13:07] Part of hearing flight attendants
[00:13:08] are like,
[00:13:08] fuck.
[00:13:10] I don't,
[00:13:10] I don't know.
[00:13:11] But that was so funny.
[00:13:13] I'm like,
[00:13:13] the easiest way,
[00:13:14] definitely what I thought
[00:13:15] was just have the number
[00:13:16] pop up.
[00:13:17] Yeah.
[00:13:18] That would be too simple.
[00:13:19] Just make their job too easy.
[00:13:21] Yeah.
[00:13:21] Have you seen
[00:13:22] the past few years
[00:13:24] a lot of like
[00:13:25] thought to be
[00:13:26] expired?
[00:13:28] It's not expired.
[00:13:29] A lot of thought.
[00:13:29] A lot of thought
[00:13:31] to be
[00:13:32] extinct animals
[00:13:33] have suddenly
[00:13:34] started reappearing again.
[00:13:37] A lot of extinct?
[00:13:38] Like thought to be extinct.
[00:13:40] So like,
[00:13:40] animals they haven't seen
[00:13:42] in like 20,
[00:13:42] 30 years
[00:13:43] just showing up again
[00:13:44] out of the blue.
[00:13:44] Well,
[00:13:45] I thought that
[00:13:45] they're considered extinct
[00:13:46] after 10 years.
[00:13:47] Yeah.
[00:13:48] So,
[00:13:49] I found this article
[00:13:50] and this is like
[00:13:52] really recent news.
[00:13:55] There is
[00:13:55] really recent.
[00:13:56] Like literally
[00:13:57] two hours ago
[00:13:58] they published
[00:13:59] the article about this.
[00:14:00] Okay.
[00:14:01] So,
[00:14:01] it says
[00:14:03] the Mekong ghost
[00:14:04] megafish
[00:14:05] has resurfaced
[00:14:05] after an extinction scare.
[00:14:08] It's a giant
[00:14:09] salmon carp
[00:14:10] that hasn't been seen
[00:14:11] in over 20 years.
[00:14:13] It lives
[00:14:14] in Southeast Asia's
[00:14:15] Mekong River
[00:14:16] and it hasn't been seen
[00:14:18] since 2005.
[00:14:19] So,
[00:14:20] scientists have now
[00:14:21] confirmed the discovery of
[00:14:22] I like the way
[00:14:23] they phrase this.
[00:14:24] They say three individuals.
[00:14:25] Like these fish
[00:14:26] are three individuals.
[00:14:27] Three individuals.
[00:14:28] Like
[00:14:30] fish
[00:14:31] citizenship
[00:14:31] for the win.
[00:14:32] But
[00:14:33] they found
[00:14:34] three of them
[00:14:35] over the past few years
[00:14:36] and it says
[00:14:37] it reignites
[00:14:38] the hope
[00:14:38] for the giant
[00:14:39] salmon carp survival.
[00:14:42] And I just,
[00:14:42] I think that's so cool.
[00:14:44] But also,
[00:14:45] if I were
[00:14:46] an endangered species,
[00:14:47] I'd be like,
[00:14:47] fuck that.
[00:14:48] I'm not going back
[00:14:48] near the humans again.
[00:14:49] I'm gonna like
[00:14:50] hide
[00:14:50] in my little
[00:14:51] special habitat
[00:14:52] or in that ocean
[00:14:53] under the ocean
[00:14:54] they found.
[00:14:55] Like,
[00:14:55] fuck these humans.
[00:14:57] Do you know
[00:14:57] what the last
[00:14:59] member of a species
[00:15:00] is called?
[00:15:02] Lonely?
[00:15:04] No,
[00:15:04] that's what it is.
[00:15:05] But it's called.
[00:15:06] No,
[00:15:06] I don't.
[00:15:07] It's called an
[00:15:08] endling.
[00:15:09] E-N-D-L-I-N-G.
[00:15:11] That's so sad.
[00:15:12] It's called an endling.
[00:15:13] There isn't actually
[00:15:13] an endling
[00:15:14] on display
[00:15:15] at a,
[00:15:16] I believe it's
[00:15:17] the British Museum
[00:15:17] and it's for
[00:15:19] carrier pigeons.
[00:15:20] Carrier pigeons
[00:15:21] are extinct now.
[00:15:23] The last carrier pigeon
[00:15:24] I believe
[00:15:25] was,
[00:15:25] uh,
[00:15:26] was killed out
[00:15:27] right after
[00:15:27] World War I
[00:15:28] in like 1920
[00:15:30] I want to say.
[00:15:31] 1919,
[00:15:32] 1920,
[00:15:32] somewhere in there.
[00:15:33] And it was,
[00:15:34] uh,
[00:15:36] and it was
[00:15:36] these birds.
[00:15:37] The carrier pigeons
[00:15:39] once made up
[00:15:40] a quarter of all
[00:15:41] pigeons
[00:15:41] and now they're
[00:15:42] extinct
[00:15:42] because
[00:15:43] during World War I
[00:15:45] so many carrier pigeons
[00:15:46] were used
[00:15:47] that they were like,
[00:15:48] no,
[00:15:48] we got to get rid
[00:15:49] of these things.
[00:15:49] They're carrying
[00:15:50] too many secret
[00:15:50] messages and things.
[00:15:52] So they,
[00:15:52] they found
[00:15:53] the last one
[00:15:54] what they believed
[00:15:55] to be the last one
[00:15:56] and it died out
[00:15:57] and,
[00:15:57] uh,
[00:15:58] it's now on display
[00:15:58] in a museum.
[00:15:59] It's one of the,
[00:16:00] one of the last
[00:16:00] like endlings
[00:16:01] that they like
[00:16:02] have as a record.
[00:16:03] That sounds like
[00:16:04] a Minecraft thing
[00:16:05] or like a fantasy
[00:16:06] novel thing
[00:16:06] like endling.
[00:16:07] That's so sad.
[00:16:09] To be the last
[00:16:10] of a species.
[00:16:11] But also
[00:16:11] pigeons in general
[00:16:13] make me really sad
[00:16:14] because people call
[00:16:15] them like rats
[00:16:16] with wings
[00:16:17] and all this
[00:16:18] shit like that
[00:16:18] and it's like,
[00:16:20] I think,
[00:16:20] we literally
[00:16:21] abandoned them.
[00:16:22] I think rats
[00:16:23] with wings
[00:16:24] is a
[00:16:25] fine term
[00:16:26] if you're talking
[00:16:27] about disease.
[00:16:29] You're talking
[00:16:29] about like what
[00:16:30] they eat
[00:16:30] and their behavior
[00:16:31] other things
[00:16:32] like that.
[00:16:32] No.
[00:16:33] But it's also
[00:16:33] like pigeons
[00:16:34] we completely
[00:16:34] domesticated them
[00:16:35] made them rely
[00:16:36] on humans
[00:16:36] for survival
[00:16:37] like they used
[00:16:38] to be popular
[00:16:38] pets or you
[00:16:39] know,
[00:16:39] like they were
[00:16:40] technology at
[00:16:41] one point
[00:16:42] but now
[00:16:43] they're all
[00:16:43] just abandoned
[00:16:44] and then that's
[00:16:44] why there's so
[00:16:45] many of them
[00:16:45] all over the place
[00:16:46] and why they
[00:16:47] bother humans
[00:16:47] so much
[00:16:48] because they
[00:16:48] literally don't
[00:16:49] know how to
[00:16:49] fight for themselves
[00:16:50] like they got
[00:16:50] no clue
[00:16:51] how to take
[00:16:51] care of
[00:16:51] themselves.
[00:16:52] descendants,
[00:16:52] the descendants
[00:16:53] should know
[00:16:54] better.
[00:16:54] All right?
[00:16:55] Evolution.
[00:16:55] Get over it.
[00:16:56] But it just
[00:16:56] makes me sad
[00:16:57] to think about it.
[00:16:58] Get over your
[00:16:58] abandonment.
[00:16:59] All right?
[00:16:59] That's what needs
[00:17:00] to happen.
[00:17:01] The abandonment
[00:17:01] is sad.
[00:17:02] The fact that
[00:17:02] they're still
[00:17:03] around.
[00:17:03] Good job.
[00:17:04] You thrived.
[00:17:04] The fact that
[00:17:05] you're still
[00:17:05] bothering us.
[00:17:06] Get over it.
[00:17:07] I love birds.
[00:17:08] I love birds.
[00:17:10] And animals in
[00:17:10] general.
[00:17:11] I saw a video
[00:17:13] this week of a
[00:17:14] actually it was
[00:17:15] of a podcast.
[00:17:16] I didn't get the
[00:17:16] name of it but
[00:17:17] it was two people
[00:17:18] asking and someone
[00:17:19] was like which
[00:17:21] species do you
[00:17:22] think would be
[00:17:23] the or which
[00:17:24] animal do you
[00:17:24] think would be
[00:17:25] the easiest to
[00:17:26] win against
[00:17:26] like in a fight?
[00:17:28] And he just
[00:17:29] responds he goes
[00:17:30] oh fish just
[00:17:31] like most fish.
[00:17:32] And the first
[00:17:33] guy's like no
[00:17:34] you got to pick
[00:17:34] an animal.
[00:17:35] And they got in
[00:17:35] this huge argument
[00:17:36] as to whether
[00:17:36] a fish was an
[00:17:37] animal or not.
[00:17:39] Yes it is.
[00:17:40] It culminated with
[00:17:41] one of them going
[00:17:42] you can't go to
[00:17:42] the zoo and see
[00:17:44] a fish it's just
[00:17:44] not a thing.
[00:17:45] And he goes the
[00:17:46] guy who's arguing
[00:17:47] for it goes you're
[00:17:48] right you can't go
[00:17:49] to the zoo and
[00:17:50] see a fish.
[00:17:50] You know why?
[00:17:51] Because they have
[00:17:52] their own special
[00:17:53] zoo called an
[00:17:54] aquarium.
[00:17:55] Well also most
[00:17:56] zoos do have like
[00:17:57] a little section
[00:17:58] for like fish or
[00:17:59] things or you
[00:18:00] know like they'll
[00:18:01] have like a little
[00:18:01] dark room for
[00:18:02] snakes and spiders
[00:18:03] like they usually
[00:18:04] have that for fish
[00:18:05] as well.
[00:18:05] Right and I think
[00:18:06] it was funny because
[00:18:07] the guy who was
[00:18:07] arguing against it
[00:18:08] was like no no
[00:18:09] are you talking
[00:18:09] about like a
[00:18:10] shark?
[00:18:11] A shark's an
[00:18:11] animal and they're
[00:18:12] like right it's a
[00:18:13] fish.
[00:18:14] Here's the thing
[00:18:16] every living creature
[00:18:18] is an animal.
[00:18:19] Humans are animals
[00:18:20] fish are animals.
[00:18:22] They're different
[00:18:23] types of animals
[00:18:24] like amphibians or
[00:18:26] fish or like you
[00:18:27] know like that's
[00:18:29] crazy.
[00:18:29] Definition for
[00:18:30] anyone who's
[00:18:30] wondering you're
[00:18:31] not but you're
[00:18:31] going to get it
[00:18:32] anyway.
[00:18:33] An animal is a
[00:18:34] living organism
[00:18:35] that feeds on
[00:18:36] organic matter
[00:18:37] typically having
[00:18:38] specialized sense
[00:18:40] organs and
[00:18:40] nervous system
[00:18:41] and able to
[00:18:43] respond rapidly to
[00:18:44] stimuli.
[00:18:45] That's what they
[00:18:46] do.
[00:18:46] I respond rapidly
[00:18:47] to stimuli too.
[00:18:48] Yeah that's the
[00:18:49] autism.
[00:18:53] But I also saw
[00:18:55] recently that NASA
[00:18:56] discovered life on
[00:18:59] Mars.
[00:18:59] Now the article
[00:19:01] title was
[00:19:02] compelling evidence
[00:19:03] of life on Mars.
[00:19:04] I clicked on it.
[00:19:05] That is not
[00:19:07] entirely untrue but
[00:19:09] I feel like I got
[00:19:09] baited into this
[00:19:10] article.
[00:19:11] Well yeah that's
[00:19:11] clickbait.
[00:19:12] Now it's mostly
[00:19:15] true.
[00:19:16] However what they
[00:19:17] left out is that
[00:19:19] NASA discovered the
[00:19:20] presence of water
[00:19:21] organic compounds
[00:19:23] and a chemical energy
[00:19:24] source on a rock
[00:19:25] located in the
[00:19:27] Dezero crater on
[00:19:28] Mars.
[00:19:28] But you're like
[00:19:29] ah life yes.
[00:19:31] No it's it's
[00:19:31] evidence that life
[00:19:32] used to be there.
[00:19:34] It's everything
[00:19:34] there is dead.
[00:19:35] It's what it is.
[00:19:38] Right.
[00:19:39] So now they're like
[00:19:40] well there's there
[00:19:40] we've discovered
[00:19:41] evidence that there
[00:19:42] used to be life on
[00:19:44] Mars.
[00:19:45] But my my favorite
[00:19:46] part of this whole
[00:19:46] article by the way
[00:19:47] is what the name
[00:19:49] of the technology is
[00:19:51] that discovered it.
[00:19:52] Yes.
[00:19:53] Now scientists
[00:19:55] being the nerdy
[00:19:57] people that they
[00:19:57] are I love
[00:19:59] scientists naming of
[00:20:00] things especially like
[00:20:01] modern scientists
[00:20:02] naming things.
[00:20:02] Old scientists were
[00:20:03] just like what and
[00:20:04] they got really hard
[00:20:05] for it.
[00:20:05] It's new stuff right.
[00:20:08] So it's it's part
[00:20:11] of the the
[00:20:12] perseverance mission
[00:20:13] set right.
[00:20:14] But the first
[00:20:18] technology I guess
[00:20:19] that they use or
[00:20:20] like instrument
[00:20:21] that they use is
[00:20:22] called the Sherlock
[00:20:25] instrument.
[00:20:26] All right.
[00:20:26] There's two.
[00:20:27] They use the Sherlock
[00:20:28] instrument and the
[00:20:28] pixel instrument.
[00:20:30] Which is just
[00:20:31] amazing to me.
[00:20:32] Now what do you
[00:20:33] think Sherlock
[00:20:34] stands for?
[00:20:36] Because I
[00:20:36] Is it an acronym?
[00:20:38] It is.
[00:20:38] So is pixel.
[00:20:39] We'll get there.
[00:20:40] Now I feel like they
[00:20:41] just kind of made
[00:20:42] some things up to
[00:20:43] make it to make
[00:20:44] it say Sherlock.
[00:20:45] I feel like that's
[00:20:46] what their goal was
[00:20:47] not that they were
[00:20:48] like oh it uses this
[00:20:49] this and this
[00:20:49] technology combine it
[00:20:51] to come create
[00:20:51] something.
[00:20:52] I feel like they
[00:20:52] were like we're
[00:20:53] going to name it
[00:20:53] Sherlock.
[00:20:54] Which okay when
[00:20:55] people do things
[00:20:55] like that why
[00:20:56] can't you just
[00:20:56] name it that?
[00:20:57] Like why does it
[00:20:58] have to be an
[00:20:58] acronym that stands
[00:20:59] the technology?
[00:21:00] Why can't you
[00:21:00] just be like oh
[00:21:01] it's the Sherlock
[00:21:01] system.
[00:21:02] It uses this
[00:21:03] technology to do
[00:21:04] it.
[00:21:05] It's because it's
[00:21:05] easier to memorize
[00:21:06] the systems and what
[00:21:07] they do.
[00:21:08] That's it's usually
[00:21:09] how it's like
[00:21:10] described.
[00:21:11] So like LIDAR is
[00:21:12] you know the light
[00:21:13] emitting detection
[00:21:13] range.
[00:21:14] Razors like radar.
[00:21:16] All those are
[00:21:17] acronyms for what
[00:21:18] physical phenomena
[00:21:20] they're using to
[00:21:21] implement that
[00:21:22] technology.
[00:21:23] Now Sherlock on
[00:21:24] the other hand I
[00:21:25] feel like they just
[00:21:26] made it up so they
[00:21:27] could call it
[00:21:28] Sherlock.
[00:21:28] It's scanning
[00:21:29] habitable environments
[00:21:31] with ramen and
[00:21:33] luminescence for
[00:21:36] organics and
[00:21:37] chemicals.
[00:21:38] Sherlock.
[00:21:40] Okay.
[00:21:41] Yep.
[00:21:42] Nerds.
[00:21:44] And then pixel is
[00:21:46] planetary instrument
[00:21:48] for x-ray
[00:21:50] lithochemistry.
[00:21:51] Now x-ray
[00:21:52] lithochemistry is
[00:21:53] the scientific thing
[00:21:55] that's happening and
[00:21:56] then they just went
[00:21:57] well we have XL what
[00:21:59] if we name it
[00:21:59] planetary instrument
[00:22:00] and call it pixel.
[00:22:03] I love scientists
[00:22:04] names for things.
[00:22:05] Science is pretty
[00:22:06] cool.
[00:22:07] You know I saw I
[00:22:09] have like a lot of
[00:22:09] science things that I
[00:22:10] wanted to talk about
[00:22:11] this week and one of
[00:22:12] the things I saw
[00:22:13] again very recent
[00:22:15] Google has
[00:22:17] unveiled its
[00:22:18] invisible watermark
[00:22:19] for AI generated
[00:22:20] text.
[00:22:21] So you know Google
[00:22:22] has Gemini now
[00:22:24] but it's pretty much
[00:22:26] impossible to tell
[00:22:27] if something's AI
[00:22:27] generated unless
[00:22:28] somebody's stupid and
[00:22:29] like copy paste and
[00:22:30] it's like as I am an
[00:22:31] AI I do not know
[00:22:33] you could suspect it
[00:22:35] but at the same time
[00:22:36] that's also like
[00:22:37] kind of disrespectful
[00:22:39] to people's
[00:22:39] intelligence like
[00:22:40] they a lot of
[00:22:41] professors would say
[00:22:42] somebody's using AI
[00:22:44] just because they
[00:22:44] used like a big word
[00:22:45] for example.
[00:22:46] Oh yeah I saw an
[00:22:47] article the other day
[00:22:48] that was a student
[00:22:49] got in trouble for
[00:22:50] an AI detector said
[00:22:52] it was like 86%
[00:22:53] AI and the student
[00:22:55] defended himself by
[00:22:57] taking the
[00:22:58] constitution and
[00:22:59] putting it through
[00:23:00] that same software
[00:23:01] and it said it was
[00:23:01] 79% AI.
[00:23:03] They were like how
[00:23:04] is this a credible
[00:23:05] source to to take off
[00:23:06] letter grades from
[00:23:07] students.
[00:23:07] Yeah no and I
[00:23:08] think you could just
[00:23:09] ask them to be like
[00:23:10] okay how did you
[00:23:11] come up with this
[00:23:12] like a lot of
[00:23:13] students save you
[00:23:14] know their work in
[00:23:15] like Google Drive or
[00:23:16] on Word you can go
[00:23:17] back and see the edit
[00:23:18] history but this I
[00:23:20] think would help a lot.
[00:23:21] You know be like
[00:23:22] explain your points to
[00:23:23] me in person.
[00:23:24] Yeah and this so
[00:23:25] actually it's a
[00:23:28] computer scientist at
[00:23:29] the University of Texas
[00:23:30] in Austin talked about
[00:23:31] this.
[00:23:32] he works on
[00:23:33] watermarks at
[00:23:34] OpenAI but
[00:23:37] it's a
[00:23:38] watermark that
[00:23:39] invisibly labels
[00:23:40] text and you
[00:23:42] can deploy it to
[00:23:42] millions of users
[00:23:43] but the cool thing
[00:23:44] about it is someone
[00:23:45] was saying it's
[00:23:46] really hard to
[00:23:47] apply a watermark
[00:23:48] to text like much
[00:23:49] harder than images
[00:23:50] because word choice
[00:23:51] is the only variable
[00:23:52] that can be
[00:23:53] altered.
[00:23:54] So they alter
[00:23:56] which words the
[00:23:57] model selects in a
[00:23:57] secret but formulaic
[00:23:59] way that can be
[00:24:00] detected with a
[00:24:00] cryptographic
[00:24:01] key.
[00:24:02] So basically
[00:24:04] crypto and AI
[00:24:05] coming together to
[00:24:06] create this technology
[00:24:07] so that we can know
[00:24:08] when something is AI
[00:24:09] and it's been
[00:24:11] what's it called
[00:24:12] it's open source
[00:24:13] so people can use
[00:24:15] it for their own
[00:24:15] models not just
[00:24:16] Google and I
[00:24:17] thought that was
[00:24:17] really cool like
[00:24:18] this is a problem
[00:24:19] that obviously needs
[00:24:20] solving like I
[00:24:22] think AI can be
[00:24:22] useful in a lot of
[00:24:23] ways we've talked
[00:24:24] about it on the
[00:24:24] podcast before like
[00:24:25] I use it like a
[00:24:26] search engine I
[00:24:27] help like it'll
[00:24:28] help me find
[00:24:29] articles and stuff
[00:24:30] for class which
[00:24:30] my university says
[00:24:32] that we can use
[00:24:33] AI for research
[00:24:34] actually because
[00:24:35] it's so hard to
[00:24:36] like detect
[00:24:38] but you know
[00:24:39] obviously there's
[00:24:39] people who are
[00:24:40] just copy and
[00:24:41] pasting what their
[00:24:41] AI says which is
[00:24:42] right and then not
[00:24:43] understanding or
[00:24:44] remembering or
[00:24:45] yeah like that's
[00:24:46] plagiarism for sure
[00:24:47] about it but I
[00:24:48] thought it was
[00:24:48] really cool because
[00:24:49] that is a big issue
[00:24:50] right now and I
[00:24:51] just was like wow
[00:24:52] I didn't read the
[00:24:53] article but I'll
[00:24:55] have to do more
[00:24:55] research on it back
[00:24:56] to you but I
[00:24:57] saw one that
[00:24:58] was Biden signed
[00:24:59] a bill about AI
[00:25:01] and like foreign
[00:25:03] adversaries
[00:25:04] are our foreign
[00:25:07] adversaries using AI
[00:25:08] no no no I think
[00:25:10] it was like
[00:25:11] let's see it
[00:25:15] blah blah blah
[00:25:16] shipping debate
[00:25:18] no
[00:25:18] no no no
[00:25:19] let me
[00:25:21] try and find what
[00:25:22] I can
[00:25:24] not foreign aid
[00:25:26] foreign AI
[00:25:27] I need foreign
[00:25:28] aid
[00:25:29] President Biden
[00:25:30] signs a lot of
[00:25:31] banned TikTok
[00:25:32] nationwide
[00:25:35] we'll see
[00:25:36] when is that
[00:25:36] from
[00:25:38] this year
[00:25:39] yeah
[00:25:39] okay
[00:25:42] you know what
[00:25:43] I think Timu
[00:25:44] needs to be banned
[00:25:44] before TikTok
[00:25:45] Timu yeah
[00:25:46] Timu is a scourge
[00:25:47] on this earth
[00:25:48] everybody I've
[00:25:48] talked to that
[00:25:49] says they've used
[00:25:50] Timu says that
[00:25:51] every time they've
[00:25:52] used it their data
[00:25:53] was stolen and
[00:25:53] first it says
[00:25:54] Timu is bad
[00:25:55] second it says
[00:25:56] you never learned
[00:25:57] about the fool
[00:25:58] me once
[00:25:58] riddle you just
[00:25:59] didn't understand
[00:26:00] what it meant
[00:26:00] well and also
[00:26:01] the reason Timu
[00:26:03] is so pervasive
[00:26:03] is in the beginning
[00:26:05] I don't know if
[00:26:05] they still do it
[00:26:06] but they would
[00:26:07] give you a link
[00:26:08] that you could
[00:26:09] send out to your
[00:26:09] friends and if
[00:26:10] they signed up
[00:26:11] with your link
[00:26:11] you could get
[00:26:12] money to get
[00:26:13] free products
[00:26:13] which they're
[00:26:14] already really
[00:26:14] cheap I had
[00:26:15] friends send me
[00:26:16] that and I was
[00:26:16] like no
[00:26:16] like I'm not
[00:26:17] I like TikTok
[00:26:19] I will admit
[00:26:19] like it's got
[00:26:20] its issues
[00:26:20] whatever I like
[00:26:21] it but Timu
[00:26:22] I'm like I will
[00:26:23] never get that
[00:26:24] shit ever
[00:26:25] I mean like
[00:26:26] and why would
[00:26:27] you like
[00:26:28] but also like
[00:26:29] I just feel like
[00:26:31] so much of it
[00:26:31] is trash
[00:26:32] you know
[00:26:32] like it's
[00:26:33] just shit
[00:26:34] that's gonna
[00:26:34] go in a
[00:26:34] landfill
[00:26:35] just go to
[00:26:35] wish.com
[00:26:36] you'll be
[00:26:36] alright
[00:26:36] no or like
[00:26:37] what's the
[00:26:38] thing that we
[00:26:38] used to use
[00:26:39] was it wish
[00:26:41] the really cheap
[00:26:42] one yeah
[00:26:42] yeah like
[00:26:43] there's plenty
[00:26:44] of websites
[00:26:44] out there
[00:26:44] that like
[00:26:45] cut out
[00:26:46] the drop
[00:26:46] shipping
[00:26:46] people
[00:26:47] so just
[00:26:47] do that
[00:26:48] you know
[00:26:49] did you
[00:26:50] find what
[00:26:50] you were
[00:26:50] looking for
[00:26:51] no but I
[00:26:52] did see the
[00:26:52] article saying
[00:26:53] that those
[00:26:54] eight astronauts
[00:26:55] that were
[00:26:55] stranded in
[00:26:56] space are
[00:26:57] being brought
[00:26:57] back down
[00:26:58] today
[00:26:58] nice I
[00:26:59] hope it
[00:26:59] goes well
[00:27:00] oh sorry
[00:27:01] tomorrow morning
[00:27:01] Friday morning
[00:27:02] oh well
[00:27:03] last week
[00:27:03] for everybody
[00:27:04] listening
[00:27:04] yes when
[00:27:05] you're
[00:27:05] listening
[00:27:07] okay
[00:27:08] we talk
[00:27:09] about video
[00:27:09] games a lot
[00:27:10] I have a few
[00:27:10] different video
[00:27:11] game things to
[00:27:11] talk about
[00:27:12] love video
[00:27:13] games but
[00:27:14] I didn't
[00:27:15] know that
[00:27:15] Netflix had a
[00:27:16] triple a
[00:27:17] video game
[00:27:17] studio but
[00:27:19] one what
[00:27:20] studio listen
[00:27:21] hold up
[00:27:21] first of all
[00:27:22] they hired a
[00:27:23] lot of big
[00:27:24] talent so they
[00:27:25] hired the
[00:27:26] overwatch executive
[00:27:26] producer Chaco
[00:27:27] Sonny they
[00:27:29] made they
[00:27:30] hired halo
[00:27:31] creative lead
[00:27:32] Joseph Statton
[00:27:33] the coalition's
[00:27:34] Jerry Ed
[00:27:34] Saul Blizzard
[00:27:35] and Bungie's
[00:27:36] Gavin Irby
[00:27:37] Santa Sony
[00:27:38] Santa Monica
[00:27:39] art director
[00:27:40] Rafael Grasetti
[00:27:41] and so many
[00:27:42] more big names
[00:27:43] they just shut
[00:27:44] down after
[00:27:46] making zero
[00:27:47] games they
[00:27:48] made zero
[00:27:49] video games
[00:27:50] I was like
[00:27:50] I don't I've
[00:27:51] never heard of
[00:27:52] this studio I
[00:27:52] feel like I
[00:27:53] would have
[00:27:53] known about
[00:27:53] it so they
[00:27:54] spent all
[00:27:54] this you know
[00:27:55] what this is
[00:27:55] why Netflix
[00:27:56] won't let your
[00:27:57] favorite TV
[00:27:57] shows that are
[00:27:58] awesome like
[00:27:59] build an
[00:28:00] audience because
[00:28:00] they spend stupid
[00:28:01] money on shit
[00:28:02] like this and
[00:28:02] it's like
[00:28:04] nobody wanted
[00:28:05] this Netflix
[00:28:05] we just want
[00:28:06] our movies
[00:28:07] yeah well
[00:28:08] I thought it
[00:28:08] was funny they
[00:28:09] didn't make a
[00:28:09] single video game
[00:28:11] I think
[00:28:12] that
[00:28:15] I think
[00:28:15] that the
[00:28:15] one of the
[00:28:16] issues too
[00:28:16] is like
[00:28:17] you know how
[00:28:18] it's more
[00:28:18] expensive to
[00:28:19] get a new
[00:28:19] customer than
[00:28:20] it is to
[00:28:20] maintain customers
[00:28:21] right or
[00:28:22] the other way
[00:28:23] around I
[00:28:23] don't know
[00:28:24] but the
[00:28:25] thing is
[00:28:26] like TV
[00:28:27] shows you
[00:28:28] get a season
[00:28:28] it's really
[00:28:29] good you get
[00:28:29] two seasons
[00:28:30] it'll be pretty
[00:28:31] good but the
[00:28:31] longer shows
[00:28:32] run on the
[00:28:33] more like
[00:28:34] fandom dies
[00:28:35] off and
[00:28:36] like it goes
[00:28:37] down depending
[00:28:38] on the show
[00:28:39] with Netflix
[00:28:39] I think it's
[00:28:40] the opposite
[00:28:40] problem
[00:28:41] statistically the
[00:28:42] more seasons
[00:28:44] of a show it
[00:28:44] has the less
[00:28:45] people will watch
[00:28:46] the later seasons
[00:28:47] unless they're just
[00:28:47] really depressed
[00:28:48] and want to watch
[00:28:49] Grey's Anatomy
[00:28:49] season 18
[00:28:50] that's different
[00:28:51] though
[00:28:52] the so what
[00:28:54] I think their
[00:28:54] model of looking
[00:28:55] at it is is
[00:28:56] oh we have all
[00:28:57] these new exciting
[00:28:58] shows watch them
[00:28:59] and then you watch
[00:28:59] the new show
[00:29:00] it's got one
[00:29:01] season and then
[00:29:02] they go yeah
[00:29:03] we're we're
[00:29:04] looking at season
[00:29:04] two and you watch
[00:29:06] six other new
[00:29:06] shows and then
[00:29:07] five of those get
[00:29:08] canceled and one
[00:29:09] or two of them
[00:29:09] get second seasons
[00:29:10] and then you come
[00:29:11] back to Netflix
[00:29:11] because those ones
[00:29:12] got a second
[00:29:13] season I think
[00:29:14] it's just like I
[00:29:16] saw somebody talking
[00:29:16] about this online
[00:29:17] I don't remember
[00:29:17] where but they
[00:29:18] don't give TV
[00:29:19] shows time to
[00:29:20] breathe or build
[00:29:21] an audience like
[00:29:22] they drop a whole
[00:29:23] season of a show
[00:29:24] if it doesn't hit
[00:29:25] millions of viewers
[00:29:26] on day one it's
[00:29:27] pretty much canceled
[00:29:28] they're like oh
[00:29:29] we're not returning
[00:29:29] on our investment
[00:29:30] but that's not how
[00:29:32] you build an
[00:29:32] audience to shows
[00:29:33] like it has to be
[00:29:34] out for a little
[00:29:35] bit it has to
[00:29:35] get reviews for more
[00:29:36] people to watch
[00:29:37] it like and we
[00:29:38] used to have that
[00:29:39] when shows were
[00:29:40] coming out on TV
[00:29:41] and like the
[00:29:41] normal sometimes
[00:29:43] things are uber
[00:29:44] popular right away
[00:29:45] like the last of a
[00:29:47] show was super
[00:29:48] popular but that's
[00:29:48] because it had a
[00:29:49] pre-existing audience
[00:29:50] same thing with the
[00:29:51] fallout TV show
[00:29:52] but Netflix just
[00:29:53] yeah but Netflix
[00:29:55] just like we'll
[00:29:56] drop shit spend so
[00:29:57] much money on it
[00:29:57] and then be like
[00:29:58] oh 60,000 people
[00:30:00] didn't watch it or
[00:30:00] 60 million people
[00:30:01] didn't watch it you
[00:30:02] know like dumb
[00:30:02] shit and they
[00:30:03] cancel it
[00:30:04] unrealistic like
[00:30:05] benchmarks I feel
[00:30:06] like but then
[00:30:07] they keep renewing
[00:30:08] seasons of shows
[00:30:09] nobody gives a shit
[00:30:10] about but they'll
[00:30:11] get rid of the
[00:30:11] shows everybody's
[00:30:11] like I want another
[00:30:12] season of this it
[00:30:13] doesn't make any
[00:30:14] sense but I
[00:30:16] canceled Netflix for
[00:30:17] a reason I'll get
[00:30:17] it back in like two
[00:30:18] or three years when
[00:30:19] they finally release
[00:30:20] another season of the
[00:30:21] shows I like but
[00:30:22] they all that's also
[00:30:23] the biggest problem
[00:30:23] on Netflix is that
[00:30:25] they don't put
[00:30:27] seasons out
[00:30:27] consistently like
[00:30:29] Bridgerton is like
[00:30:30] every two to four
[00:30:31] years now like
[00:30:33] these half these
[00:30:34] actors are gonna age
[00:30:35] out of the population
[00:30:36] they're doing and
[00:30:37] they're already pretty
[00:30:38] old for like the
[00:30:38] ages that they're
[00:30:39] playing and it just
[00:30:41] takes them forever to
[00:30:42] produce content now
[00:30:43] and then when they do
[00:30:44] they drop like six
[00:30:45] episodes and that's
[00:30:46] the entire season
[00:30:47] I miss when seasons
[00:30:49] were like 15 to 20
[00:30:51] episodes man like
[00:30:53] actual character
[00:30:53] development and stuff
[00:30:54] fuck Netflix
[00:30:58] unless you're listening
[00:30:59] to this then sponsor
[00:31:00] us
[00:31:01] I don't think
[00:31:02] that's how that
[00:31:02] works but we'll
[00:31:04] go it's like if
[00:31:06] we make money oh
[00:31:06] my god I love
[00:31:07] Netflix you should
[00:31:08] watch Netflix all
[00:31:08] the time actually I
[00:31:10] really like Hulu
[00:31:12] I'm trying to find
[00:31:13] why they shut down
[00:31:14] team glue but I
[00:31:16] can't find any
[00:31:17] reasons it just keep
[00:31:18] it's just articles that
[00:31:19] say they shut it
[00:31:19] down I guess it is
[00:31:21] from like a day ago
[00:31:22] it's been shut down
[00:31:23] yes oh yeah here's
[00:31:25] IGN who interviewed
[00:31:26] some executives at
[00:31:27] Netflix Netflix would
[00:31:28] not say why they
[00:31:29] could close the studio
[00:31:30] awesome
[00:31:33] cool thanks IGN
[00:31:35] they said because we
[00:31:37] just decided we didn't
[00:31:38] want to do that
[00:31:38] anymore
[00:31:40] overwatch blah blah
[00:31:41] blah blah
[00:31:42] yep all the people
[00:31:43] were excited to work
[00:31:44] on it and they were
[00:31:45] like nah we're out of
[00:31:46] here okay
[00:31:48] do you have have
[00:31:49] you ever played
[00:31:50] Roblox
[00:31:51] uh yes not like in
[00:31:53] depth or extensively
[00:31:54] and not for a while
[00:31:56] but yeah
[00:31:57] yeah so you know one
[00:31:59] of my our stream
[00:32:00] teammates Joe he used
[00:32:02] to stream a lot of
[00:32:02] Roblox so I played a
[00:32:03] few times with him
[00:32:04] oh
[00:32:06] I bopped the
[00:32:07] microphone
[00:32:08] sorry
[00:32:08] yeah it jumped out of
[00:32:09] nowhere I saw it
[00:32:10] um but
[00:32:12] so I played it a few
[00:32:13] times but
[00:32:15] I don't know Roblox
[00:32:16] always just gave me
[00:32:16] weird vibes because it's
[00:32:18] like
[00:32:19] it always felt like you
[00:32:20] were gonna get a virus
[00:32:21] and then it's actually
[00:32:22] pretty secure apparently
[00:32:24] yeah well there's so
[00:32:24] many children on it
[00:32:25] but there's also a lot
[00:32:27] of adults on it so
[00:32:28] it's like a weird
[00:32:29] mixture of people and
[00:32:30] it's not like we've
[00:32:31] been playing paleo and
[00:32:32] I feel like there's
[00:32:32] adults and kids on
[00:32:33] there but
[00:32:34] they have like pretty
[00:32:36] strict guidelines the
[00:32:36] chats very like
[00:32:37] different
[00:32:39] Roblox
[00:32:40] has
[00:32:41] gotten
[00:32:41] a lot
[00:32:43] of
[00:32:45] yeah I don't know if
[00:32:46] you've seen
[00:32:46] um
[00:32:48] there's a
[00:32:49] there's a guy on
[00:32:50] youtube who used to
[00:32:51] be like a
[00:32:52] uh
[00:32:52] a hacker for
[00:32:53] a bunch of
[00:32:54] different people and
[00:32:55] he does a lot of
[00:32:56] testing and like
[00:32:57] cyber security things
[00:32:58] and whatnot
[00:32:59] and he does a lot of
[00:33:00] um
[00:33:01] like exposures and
[00:33:02] he helps the
[00:33:03] government with a
[00:33:04] lot with shutting
[00:33:04] down like websites
[00:33:05] of like human
[00:33:06] trafficking or like
[00:33:07] child sex things
[00:33:08] and whatever it is
[00:33:10] right
[00:33:10] uh but he was
[00:33:11] saying one of his
[00:33:12] videos popped up
[00:33:13] and was like hey
[00:33:14] just so you're
[00:33:14] tracking like parents
[00:33:16] out there
[00:33:16] and it's like this
[00:33:18] is what happens on
[00:33:19] on roblox
[00:33:20] he goes I went
[00:33:21] on roblox
[00:33:22] I was there for
[00:33:23] two hours
[00:33:24] I went into some
[00:33:24] like sketchy rooms
[00:33:25] that said they were
[00:33:26] for 18 plus
[00:33:27] uh or for
[00:33:28] like 18 plus
[00:33:30] and they were like
[00:33:30] uh advertised
[00:33:32] that I was a kid
[00:33:33] several people
[00:33:33] messaged me
[00:33:34] uh he's like
[00:33:35] I followed them
[00:33:36] through some
[00:33:36] websites and
[00:33:37] that went through
[00:33:38] their ip
[00:33:38] I found out
[00:33:39] they're tied to
[00:33:40] a lot of
[00:33:40] like web
[00:33:42] like dark
[00:33:43] websites that
[00:33:43] they're illegal
[00:33:44] and he goes I
[00:33:44] reported them
[00:33:45] but just so you
[00:33:46] know keep track
[00:33:46] of what you're
[00:33:47] what
[00:33:47] yeah
[00:33:47] which games
[00:33:49] your kids are
[00:33:49] playing on Netflix
[00:33:50] well it's
[00:33:52] kids lie
[00:33:53] you know like
[00:33:54] when I was a kid
[00:33:55] I did some shady
[00:33:56] shit on the internet
[00:33:56] with adults
[00:33:57] I'm not gonna lie
[00:33:57] like I was on
[00:33:58] the end.com
[00:33:59] I said that I
[00:34:00] was 16
[00:34:01] I was like 9
[00:34:02] I was like 9
[00:34:03] fucking years old
[00:34:03] on this website
[00:34:04] okay
[00:34:04] your parents were
[00:34:05] all over it
[00:34:05] no they literally
[00:34:07] let us have
[00:34:07] unfettered access
[00:34:08] to the internet
[00:34:08] and then they
[00:34:10] had parental
[00:34:10] controls right
[00:34:11] I guess the
[00:34:12] password
[00:34:14] because my
[00:34:14] father made
[00:34:15] it my mother's
[00:34:16] name
[00:34:19] when I told
[00:34:19] him I figured
[00:34:20] that out
[00:34:20] he quickly
[00:34:21] changed it
[00:34:21] why would you
[00:34:22] tell it
[00:34:23] because I was
[00:34:23] a kid
[00:34:23] I was dumb
[00:34:24] oh my god
[00:34:25] but
[00:34:25] I feel like
[00:34:25] I'm gonna brag
[00:34:26] about this
[00:34:26] crime
[00:34:27] so Roblox
[00:34:28] is changing
[00:34:29] its child
[00:34:29] safety policies
[00:34:30] because a
[00:34:32] report came
[00:34:33] out calling
[00:34:34] Roblox an
[00:34:34] x-rated
[00:34:35] pedophile
[00:34:36] hellscape
[00:34:37] that exposes
[00:34:38] children to
[00:34:39] grooming
[00:34:39] pornography
[00:34:40] violent content
[00:34:41] and extremely
[00:34:41] abusive speech
[00:34:42] Roblox did
[00:34:44] respond and
[00:34:45] said that
[00:34:46] the Hindenburg
[00:34:47] research report
[00:34:48] was misleading
[00:34:49] and insisted
[00:34:50] that it
[00:34:50] contained glaring
[00:34:51] mischaracterizations
[00:34:53] but despite
[00:34:54] that they're
[00:34:54] still making
[00:34:55] numerous changes
[00:34:56] to his child
[00:34:57] safety policy
[00:34:57] and I will
[00:34:58] say kids
[00:34:59] today are way
[00:35:00] smarter you
[00:35:00] know like
[00:35:01] they've grown
[00:35:01] up with
[00:35:01] technology they
[00:35:02] know how it
[00:35:03] works like
[00:35:03] it's all they
[00:35:04] know so like
[00:35:05] they know how
[00:35:05] to get around
[00:35:06] different things
[00:35:07] they don't
[00:35:08] give a shit
[00:35:09] like it's up to
[00:35:10] adults to protect
[00:35:10] these children
[00:35:11] and like you
[00:35:12] said parents
[00:35:13] really should be
[00:35:13] monitoring what
[00:35:14] their kids are
[00:35:14] doing on the
[00:35:15] internet because
[00:35:17] they're in adult
[00:35:18] spaces and
[00:35:18] adults are not
[00:35:19] strange adults
[00:35:20] on the internet
[00:35:21] are not going to
[00:35:21] protect your
[00:35:22] children yeah
[00:35:25] yeah you should
[00:35:26] definitely be safe
[00:35:27] on the internet
[00:35:28] keep track of what
[00:35:29] you're doing
[00:35:29] don't walk around
[00:35:32] anyway but yeah
[00:35:33] child exploitation
[00:35:34] is bad so
[00:35:35] we'll see I just
[00:35:37] the vibe of
[00:35:38] Roblox is very
[00:35:39] off-putting to me
[00:35:39] so I haven't
[00:35:40] really done much
[00:35:41] with it
[00:35:43] we'll find some
[00:35:43] good news later
[00:35:44] oh I thought you
[00:35:45] said you had good
[00:35:46] news I have some
[00:35:47] good news so a
[00:35:48] few months ago
[00:35:50] they created
[00:35:52] something that will
[00:35:53] allow a
[00:35:53] robot to get a
[00:35:54] face of living
[00:35:55] skin that allows
[00:35:56] it to smile
[00:35:57] let me just show
[00:35:59] you the gif of
[00:36:00] the technology
[00:36:02] I think I've
[00:36:03] seen something
[00:36:04] similar it reminds
[00:36:05] me of a blob
[00:36:06] fish that one
[00:36:07] reminds me of a
[00:36:08] blob fish it's
[00:36:09] um does that
[00:36:11] it's a new
[00:36:12] technology using
[00:36:13] engineered living
[00:36:13] skin tissue and
[00:36:14] human-like ligaments
[00:36:15] to give robots a
[00:36:16] more natural smile
[00:36:17] um and it's from
[00:36:19] the Tokyo
[00:36:20] University research
[00:36:21] team they said
[00:36:22] in this study we
[00:36:23] managed to replicate
[00:36:24] human appearance
[00:36:25] to some extent by
[00:36:26] creating a face
[00:36:26] with the same
[00:36:27] surface material and
[00:36:28] structure as humans
[00:36:29] this might be an
[00:36:29] unpopular opinion I
[00:36:30] don't want robots to
[00:36:31] look like humans
[00:36:32] like make them look
[00:36:33] like robots I
[00:36:35] just I don't know
[00:36:36] maybe I've watched
[00:36:36] too much like
[00:36:37] Terminator and
[00:36:38] movies like that but
[00:36:39] I'm just like why
[00:36:40] do we want them to
[00:36:41] look like us their
[00:36:41] ability to blend in
[00:36:42] that's what means we
[00:36:44] can't fight back
[00:36:44] all right I've seen
[00:36:45] transformers there's
[00:36:46] nobody that's walking
[00:36:47] down the street and
[00:36:48] thinking that soda
[00:36:49] machine that is
[00:36:50] shooting people with
[00:36:51] soda is a human
[00:36:52] yeah you know like
[00:36:53] there's no question
[00:36:54] I mean I guess it's
[00:36:55] to make it more
[00:36:56] friendly and
[00:36:56] approachable to
[00:36:57] people but like I
[00:36:59] just find something
[00:36:59] very uncanny valley
[00:37:00] about that
[00:37:01] I'm afraid of metal
[00:37:01] that sucks for you
[00:37:02] I still haven't
[00:37:03] played um was it
[00:37:04] Detroit become human
[00:37:05] I need to which
[00:37:06] it looks good
[00:37:07] oh shit do we do
[00:37:08] we have it I
[00:37:10] believe we do okay
[00:37:11] because I started it
[00:37:12] but I never finished
[00:37:13] it and I'm told it's
[00:37:14] a really good game
[00:37:15] and that game has so
[00:37:17] many different paths
[00:37:18] you can take it'll
[00:37:19] show you like unlocked
[00:37:19] things and then you
[00:37:20] can go back and like
[00:37:21] replay it yeah that
[00:37:23] game was way ahead of
[00:37:24] its time when it
[00:37:25] came out but that's
[00:37:28] gonna do it for us
[00:37:29] this week we are
[00:37:30] mindless that one's
[00:37:31] prattle and we
[00:37:33] appreciate you
[00:37:34] loosening in if you
[00:37:35] like what you heard
[00:37:36] or you think it
[00:37:37] sounds better worse in
[00:37:38] between where you
[00:37:38] just didn't notice a
[00:37:39] difference because
[00:37:40] your ears are bad
