Transcript of AI Dumpster Fire

Hey, Christie. Best to you. Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. It's the holiday season, and a lot of times, podcasts like ourselves will take off. But not us, Christie. We have bills to pay and miles to feed. So we are going to be producing brand new episodes of the Commercial Break this entire holiday season. And I thought it was important to let our audience know.

Jingle, jingle all the way home.

Jingle, jangle, your dingle-dangles. Stick with the Commercial Break and stay tuned for the 12 Days of TCB, our first ever 12 Days of TCB. That's right. December 13th through Christmas Day. Brand new episodes every day.

They told me, pa-ra-pa-pa-pa. I played my drum for him, pa-ra-pa-pa-pa. On this episode of the Commercial Break. It doesn't know any better. It's just having some fun. It's just doing what it does.

It's going to start telling people what to do, and those things inevitably are are going to be bad. Because why?

Because the AI is learning based on the Internet, and the Internet is a trash dump of humanity. That's it.

The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now. Oh, yeah, cats and kittings. Welcome back to the Commercial Break. I'm Brian Green. This is the Brianna to my Zack. Chris Enjoyot. Best to you, Chris. Best to you, Brian.

The best to you out there in the podcast universe. Drama Drop.

This is going to be like a week old at this point, but this is insane. There's this one woman on Instagram. I don't know how she fell on my feed because my algorithm is a national treasure, quite frankly, on Instagram. You do love it. It is incredible, and I do love it. It's a work of art. It really is. Who knew so long ago when Alfi created my Instagram that it would be a national treasure of girls in bikinis, nipples, and drama drops everywhere. The new drama drop is this. Brianna Chicken Fry goes to the UFC event this past weekend, which will be two weekends ago, the same weekend as the Tyson fight, goes to the UFC event because she worked for Barstool Sports, so it makes sense that she's going to be there. Well, Zack Bryant also happens to be there, too. But the camera inside of the building, the kiss cam or whatever, It does not show Zack Brian, but it does show Brianna, Chicken Fry, Paglia, or whatever her name is. Zack Brian calls his management to call the management of one of the guys fighting and pays the guy that's fighting to say his name when they're doing the end of the fight interview.

This is insane behavior. And now I am sure that Zack Brian is full-blown red flag. No woman should ever be with him ever, ever. He needs therapy, this guy.

Yeah. What? Just because she was on camera and he wasn't?

That's right. Because he wanted her to know, I'm assuming, I'm getting in his head a little bit, that he was there with his new Bo. And so he couldn't let the attention be on chicken fry. He had to swing at his direction by paying a fighter after a fight to say his name.

Just to say his name, just, Zack Ryan.

Yes. This is mid-fight. That's correct. Because If you're a UFC, if you're Conor McGregor, you have $100 million in the bank. They'll pay you big dollars to do those big marquee fights if you're really good at this. But if you're not, you're probably making $150,000 to fight, and maybe you fight twice a year in a big fight. It's like anything in life. You have to work your way up the chain, and not everybody is going to be a superstar. This fighter is not a superstar, I think. I don't keep up the UFC, but my assumption is he's not. He's on this podcast a couple days later, and the hosts go, Okay, so what's the deal with you and Zack? You guys good friends? And he goes, I don't even know the guy. My management just pulled me aside and said, Save Zack Brian's name. You can hear in the interview that he doesn't even know who he's talking about. He's like, Zack Brian, I think Brian, Zack Brian. Hey, shout out to Zack Brian. It is such an act of desperation to get publicity. You are calling your management to call his management during the fight to get your name shouted out afterwards.

That is such a boner move.

Absolutely. That's so weird. It is so fucking strange. I can't believe that I'm not seeing any of this on any of my news sites.

Your algorithm is the opposite It's a bit of my algorithm.

I mean, I'm seeing nothing.

It is all inspirational quotes and friends that have no followers.

Positivity. Yes, exactly.

When Christina and I were in here a while ago doing an episode, I think heard this week. But we were sharing that you have this bubble you like to live in, and some people do. It's not a negative or a positive. It's just it is what it is. You have Elaine and I have Elaine. My Elaine is, I want to know everything all the time, what's going on. I don't care how crass or dirty or edgy or negative it is. I just want to be in the know. I'm thirsty for that information. You are the opposite. You are full up. I don't care.

I get tons of newsletters that have plenty of bad things about it.

You just don't want to dig into it.

Well, no, but I mean, I've literally seen nothing about this whole situation.

Well, I mean, it's not going to be in a newsletter. I check in on TMZ, I check in on Page 6, I check in on all It's not going to be in a newsletter.

I check in on TMZ. I check in on page 6. I check in on- Well, it's all over TMZ.

I don't know how you missed it. It's all over TMZ.

Well, I did just look at that quickly.

I'll go there. I'll go there. And then next. Bounce. New page. Bounce.

Yeah, new window.

Well, in any case, it's just a fucking crazy situation that I can't wrap my brain around why who in Zack Bryant's camp is not explaining to him that you are not on the good side of this PR. I get that any PR is good PR. I do get that. I understand it. I know that lots of people like to play the heel to get PR because a lot of times you get more PR than you do if you're the good guy. But at the same time, you're a country music star, you need to sell albums. People don't like you. They're not going to like your music regardless of how talented you are. It's just a reality. That's true. Name a musician outside of Kanye West who I think is just like an anomaly altogether. Name a musician that people universally disliked, yet still sells albums. Ike Turner. I mean, that's the last guy. That's true. People didn't like... He went most of his career. People liked him until Tina came out and started talking about how fucking insane that guy was. That's the reality. No, you're right. And that's a reality. Yeah. Yeah. He is not like Scott Disick.

He's not like a reality show. He can't afford to be a heel. If I'm his management, I am really knocking that guy upside the head with a hot iron, and I'm going to be like, Hey, you fuck nut. You are crushing all of our paychecks because you just can't shut up about chicken fry. Write a letter of apology. I might have done some bad things. It was a consensual relationship. I'm sorry, Brianna, if I ever caused you any distress. I'm getting therapy and moving on and then actually get therapy and then actually move on.

That's it. That's all you have to do.

I mean, this guy's getting canceled. I think he's going to get canceled. I think that if he hasn't already gotten canceled, he's going to get canceled because he's not some super mega star. I mean, he's had a couple of hits, but his career is going to be very short-lived if he keeps on acting like this. People are going to go, That's just a crazy guy.

Yeah, it's very duché.

It's very duché. Thank you, Tarzhe. Duché. Speaking of a douché, as we're recording this, and just understand, we're recording a couple of days ahead of time because we have so many episodes to put out during the holiday season, and there are also the actual holidays that we don't want to work on, that I was reading about Trump and Musk showing up to watch Musk's big dick rocket shoot off. Did you see that? No. To watch Musk when his rocket blows up. Now, great that the rocket launch. I think it's wonderful what Elon Musk is doing for space. I really do. I can't take that away from... I don't care for the Starlink thing because I think it's really cluttering up space. Like, one of the places we probably need to keep clean in case we need to head out of here someday. But that's a whole different animal. Let's put that aside. I think SpaceX is doing really good things for space because we do need to be exploring out there in the universe. I do, too. I believe. I don't want to be the one exploring. No, you do not. Yes, but let other people do that for me, and I'm okay with it.

Bring back the results, and I want to see the pictures, right?

Was this a manned space? No.

Okay. No. This is the largest rocket ever built, and they are testing it to go to space, and then there will be a manned capsule on top of it. They were testing the rocket, and then they were testing the capsules to see if it could decouple from the rocket before they put people in it. It's the largest rocket that's ever been built, and then it's to come down and those fucking chopsticks are supposed to grab it. Have you seen this? Oh, right.

I did see that.

Chopsets are supposed to grab it, which is amazing technology, quite frankly. But let's remember, Elon Musk wasn't the one who came up with any... You know what I'm saying?

He may be the CEO of the company, but he literally bought another rocket company with a bunch of really smart people, and they continued to do their work because Elon is really good at raising money.

That's what he's really good at. Conning people into giving him money for his crazy ideas, half of which don't work. But I guess that's the life of a CEO. I know because all my ideas haven't worked. I know because I've bankrupt every one of my companies. There you go. Anyway, but that's not the point. The point is that Trump shows up in a Tesla truck or whatever with his son and Don Jr. And Eric.

Those things are so crazy to see.

They are so ugly. I almost got into an accident with one the other day. Really? Yeah. This guy came speeding out of his driveway here in one of these local side streets here, came speeding out of his I was coming up the street at about 40 miles per hour, and he did not blink. He just shot off his driveway.

It looks like a tank, like a weird-looking tank.

It was. It is. I just don't like them. I think they are very ugly. I think some of the other Tesla cars are pretty. Don't know if I'd ever buy one, but I think they're pretty. But I just don't care for that Tesla truck. I think it's really an awful car. It just looks awful. When you watch videos, it's not put together all that well. They're so So they look like a toaster oven that's driving down the street. That's what it looks like. It is very odd.

It is very odd. It seems like it has zero utility whatsoever.

I've never seen a Tesla truck driving down the street with something in the back of it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And I know that there's a lid on it, but- Can it tow? Supposedly it can, but there's lots of videos out there of people getting stuck in multiple different places because they're trying to tow or get in or out of some four-wheel situation that it just can't handle. Okay, all right, whatever you think of a Tesla truck.

So Trump shows up in that truck.

He shows up in a Tesla truck. They go to the space launch. They all jack each other off. How wonderful this is.

Look directly at the sun.

Yes, that's right. Look directly at the sun, drink some bleach. Tell each other how wonderful each other is. Elon's laughing all the way to the bank because Trump's just going to let him do whatever he wants to do. But Don Jr. Is there, and that's more specifically what I want to talk about. Don Jr. Is really... The apple does not fall far from the tree, but it can roll farther from the tree. I do have to say, I actually like Donald much better than I like Donald Jr. Because Donald Jr. Is just... He is so incredibly unintelligent, and he speaks in this voice that just got to drive everybody crazy. You know that he was the shitty child that no one in the family really like, but he's dad's son. You know what I'm saying? Like he has to- The first one. Yeah, he's the first one. He's got a... Dad loves him and all that other stuff. It's obvious. This is like, he is the definition of white, rich privilege. There is no doubt about it in my mind. But let's put all of that aside for a second. This is a very serious topic, but it's going to be funny because it's just as funny to me.

It It's no secret if you have listened to any... If you listen to three episodes of the Commercial Break In A Row, then you know that Brian is no stranger to narcotics, all different forms and fashions. I don't shy away from talking about it because it's an important part of my life story. It's an important part of who I am, and I'm over it. I got over it. I went through it. I didn't have to go to rehab. I didn't go to thousands of meetings. Some people have to, and that's okay. I just happened to get knocked over the head one morning and decided that's it. I'm done. I don't need this anymore. They had kids. Yeah, I had a few too many panic attacks. Well, even long before the kids, actually, the drugs went, but the alcohol went. When the kids came, then it was like, Okay, no more alcohol either. I don't want to make light of drug addiction, but I think that drugs in moderation You can get through it. You don't have to go crazy. You can do some drugs here and there and have a good time. Experiment. Experiment. Not me.

I take it to the degree, but other people can't. I will tell you that it takes a cokehead to know a coquette. I have never in my life been more sure about someone doing cocaine on a consistent basis than I have been about Donald Trump Jr. I've known some straight up dope fucking fiends. You know what I'm saying? Some crack heads. This guy is, in my opinion, is using cocaine on a very frequent basis. He's constantly being- He's just hied up? Yeah. He's constantly being caught with rocks in his nose. He's always like, Licking his lips and doing his gum thing. His jaw is moving a million miles per hour. He's snorting, he's sniffing. He is so apparently doing cocaine, and not like most of us would do cocaine. Wait until the fucking FaceTime time camera is off and then go into your bedroom or your bathroom, do a couple of bumps, listen to some music, drink a beer, and go to sleep. This guy is doing it all the time. It is now there is a video going around, widely distributed, being reported on by... Usually these things are reported by not mainstream media.

It's like some dude on Twitter watched Donald Jr's live and saw a rock fall out of his nose, and they catch it. They do it in slow motion. This one is being distributed far and wide on more mainstream. I'm not saying MSNBC is reporting on this, but more mainstream media outlets, and you can go figure out who. I'm not going to name them here. But there is a video going around of Don Jr watching the shuttle take off with a big boner in his pants, and he sticks his hand into his suit pocket, and he pulls it out, and he starts rubbing his teeth like this with it, and then doing this whole Then it's clear that he's moving his jaw back and forth. I think he stuck his finger in a bag of cocaine and he put it on his mouth to give him that high that he needs. Because obviously, when you're standing out with 50,000 other people watching a space launch, you can't exactly be doing key bumps. You know what I'm saying? Especially not when your dad is the president-elect. For those of you that don't know, never use cocaine, you can ingest it in many different ways.

As long as it gets into an orifice, it's going to make you high. You can put it in your eyeballs. You certainly shouldn't, but you could put it into your eyeballs, and it'd likely get into your bloodstream. People have put it up their ass, in their mouth, in their nose. There's lots of different ways. In their veins, lots of different ways to do cocaine. One way is to ingest it through your mouth. As a matter of fact, Stevie Ray Vaugh used to wake up in the morning with a gram of cocaine and a shot of Jack Daniels. That's how he would ingest his cocaine because his nose was perforated. He had made a hole in his nose from all the cocaine use. So this is not an unusual way to ingest cocaine. And I think he just thought he was being sly, and there happened to be a camera on him at the moment. Because of course there is. You're the son of the President-Elect of the United States of America.

I need to watch this video.

Oh, my God. Chrissy, it's so apparent.

I saw a headline about something about a video of him, but I didn't click on it.

Okay, hold on one second. Because the Jimmy Kim- Don Jr. At Space Launch does cocaine. It's just right there. Oh, here. Okay. Ready? Christina, you want to put this video, if we can, you want to put a link to this video. I'll send it to you here in a second. Let me show you the actual video. No, that's coupons. God, I hate these websites that are just endless banner ads. I know. Ads. Yeah. Who clicks on these? Somebody must. Oh, yeah, but there's actually an actual video. I see the picture. Yeah, there's an actual video. Anyway, it's so blatantly obvious what he's doing to anybody that is in the know that it's hard to ignore Exactly what? There's a picture, and just imagine him putting his hand in his pocket for a second, shaking his hand around, and then doing this whole number, like rubbing his gums. Who else does that? What other human beings... Unless you've just had Sesame seeds for lunch, you know what I'm saying? Who else sticks their hand in their pocket and starts cleaning their teeth with their finger? No one. If the chicken walks like a chicken, quacks like a chicken, so quack.

If it box like a chicken, and if it smells like a chicken, it's likely a chicken. If all of these coincidental incidents, that hundreds of them that have now gathered on the internet, have pretty much caught him dead to rights, then don't you think that this is just yet another example of Don Jr doing blow out in public?

Maybe that's why he's not getting a cabinet position or a position in the way. Yeah.

For Trump being so sure and confident about all his children, No one ever seems to...

It's Jared who gets a position.

You know what I'm saying? I know that Jared and Ivanka are nowhere to be found.

That might be the smartest thing they ever did. Yeah.

Listen, how do do cocaine like that when you're such a public figure?

That's my question. I've never been one... When I was into all that, I was never one to want to be out during the daytime at public social functions doing blow. No. That was my nightmare mayor, actually. The sun is a cocaine killer. I don't care. You can start a little bit before the sun goes down, but at least you know night time's coming, and that's where the werewolves are. We're all safe. All the zombies are safe, right? But if the sun is coming back up, there's this terrible sense of dread that comes over you if you're high on cocaine. Terrible sense of dread. Like, what do I do now? People are going to start going to work. Children are at school. The postman is going to come. The UPS guy- The joggers are out. Yes, that's right.

The joggers are out.

That's right.

What happens if the FedEx guy rings my doorbell?

Do I answer it or do I hide? The dog is going to bark at people. I mean, there's a whole anxiety bubble that comes, and that's likely because you've been doing blow since nine o'clock the previous night and you're just so jacked, paranoia has taken fully over. But to actually go to a public event like that and then do more of it in the middle of the day.

I mean, if this is true, well, then if he really was doing it, then talk about living in bubbles. I mean, he's just living in his own bubble. It's true. Nobody knows.

There are zero consequences to his actions, and there won't be because the Secret Service, they're not going to tell anybody. That's their job. They protected presidents and other people through lots of scandals, and it's not the Secret Service that leaks that information. So the Secret Service isn't going to say a word. He's with that Fox news host, whatever her name. What was her name? Kimberly Guilfoyle? Oh, yeah. The word on the street is, Don Jr is openly dating a woman in West Palm Beach. They're like going on dates, out at lunch, making out, holding hands, kissing. And he's still engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle, who seems to be nowhere to be found these days.

That's true. She was really prominent before.

She gave that speech. Yes.

Was that at the fourth of July thing? Or am I thinking of the governor or the what? The Dakotas?

No, that was at the- Monuments? No, that was at the RNC, I think is what it was, when she was screaming and yelling. Yes. Remember, it was COVID, so there was no one there. She gave that speech from wherever she was, and she was screaming. It was, quite frankly, one of the weirdest live television moments. That was really weird. Yeah. We used to have a clip of it that I would play all the time. But now she's persona non grata. I don't think he can get divorced with her because... Well, now he can't because the President has been elected. But I think President Trump has been elected because I think they didn't want any bad press, so to speak. They didn't want Kimberly coming out and talking about how many mountains of cocaine are sitting around.

Don Jr's house. But, yeah, welcome to 2024. 2025 should be a real roller coaster, kids.

It really should. I cannot wait. Actually, I can wait. Please give me a couple more months.

Then just to make it equal, smeek, President Biden will not talk to the press. Have you seen this? He's like running away from...

He has not spoken to the press in two weeks. No questions, taking no questions. That guy's a gabber. He's old. He just likes to talk to people. I think he... He's It's like my grandma was just talking to random strangers. But all of a sudden, he won't talk to people. Even on his birthday, they were asking him questions. The press is begging him to answer a question. He just runs away from them.

I mean, I don't blame him, honestly.

I don't blame him either. The poor guy. I'm done. Yeah, I'm done.

Leave me alone.

I don't care who comes next. I'm going to Rehoboth. I'm going to put my pasty white legs underneath an umbrella with a Mai Tai, and I'm going to watch as the tsunami takes us away. What do I care?

I'm 98. I won't be here too much longer, but I do think he's been a good president.

I will say that. I do. All right. Okay, let's take a break. No more depressing talk. We'll get on to something just a bit less depressing after this.

Whoa, here's something really creepy. Are you ready for this? I'm ready. So a chapel in Lucerne, Switzerland, which is where Astrid and I lived for a period of time.

I mean, it looks beautiful. I've seen pictures.

Oh, you don't even know. You don't even know.

It's like- Lake Lucerne? Is that where Lake Lucerne?

Lake Lucerne. It's right off the lake. It's a beautiful town. Mainly banking happens there, so it's very posh. It's very beautiful. They have a noise curfew at 9:00 PM in Switzerland in general, but in Lucerne, it's like 9:00 PM. You better not talk loud outside because that's just the way that is. I told you about that one time, those kids were having a party next door from the cooking college, the Culinary Institute. The police showed up, whips, shows fast, and shuffled them in. They were just being kids. We lived right above them, and we had our windows open, and I wasn't bothered by it. Not one bit. It was just a couple of kids talking loud. It wasn't that big of a deal. But Lake Lucerne is gorgeous. They have big private casinos there where I'm sure billions of dollars are going in.

Oh, you know it.

It's They have some of the, I think, world's best skiing is what I understand that we didn't go skiing. But it's just beautiful. Anyway, in Lucerne, Switzerland, one of the Catholic churches there, and this is apparently happening in a lot of places, is swapping out a priest who will listen to your confessional for an AI Jesus. Really? Artificial Jesus. When you show up in the confessional booth, you're not seeing a priest, you're seeing an AI Jesus in a screen behind you and you give him your confession, then Jesus, who speaks over 100 different languages, will talk back to you. Now, you may say to yourself, real funny story, very interesting, but this is not. This is a scary thing that's happening because now we're all following AI Jesus.

I got you. Quantum Witcher struck again. Ai Jesus to the rescue. Second Coming of Christ? No. Microsoft's M2 chip. Aha. Woo. Nvidia stuck through the roof. Ai Jesus.

This is scary shit because let me repeat a very famous saying. I may die when this may go on my gravestone. People may remember me for this. There are a lot of people on this Earth, and most of them are not well. I have a weird feeling, a very weird feeling, that some people are going to start worshiping AI Jesus.

I can see that.

Ai Yogi B. G. Or something like that. Because some people really don't have a lot of common sense in their head, and they don't understand. They're going to assume This is how it's going to go. Ready? Ai Jesus, AI, is a creation of God, all things under God. Ai Jesus is now speaking on behalf of the real Jesus Christ. People are going to start taking what the AI Jesus says at face value.

What was the reasoning that they did this?

Probably because they're having a real hard time recruiting priests now that you can't find a little boy.

That was one of the things I was going to point out was it will at least stop that.

You want me to read the story? Or will it? I mean, will we have like, Boston Dynamic Robots? I mean, AI is only a... It's only a mirror. That's all AI is right now. It doesn't think on its own. It just absorbs information and learns. It can only copy cat us. It can't actually... It doesn't know more than we do. It doesn't have pragmatic sense. It doesn't have common sense. It doesn't learn in the way that we learn. There's no brain replication. It's just replication. It's just a really good copycat of humanity, right? Because it's ingesting the entire fucking internet. So you know it's all going to be just fine now that it's read all of my Facebook posts.

So Some of Brian's Facebook posts, the Trump Bible, and Don Jr. Tweets. Whamam, may I, Jesus.

How are people reacting to it? Oh, they love it, Chr.

I mean, grandma's a little They figured it out?

No. In Switzerland, I met a lot of people over there, and they're all very, very nice. It seems like there is just a...

I don't know, but it seems like they're just a little smarter the average bearer.

They got something figured out. They stay out of wars. They have an army, but they don't stand that army up for much. It's mainly the Swiss Guard, like the Swiss Army, the Swiss Guard. They have that large headrun Collider. They have some of the world's most advanced technology. I went. It's fascinating.

Oh, yeah. I remember when that thing was built.

Wow. I went, and they were doing experiments at the time, so we couldn't go into there. But now we have a that works there, that works in there. Something about Switzerland. They got that right. They got some things right. Let me read the story to you. One church in Switzerland is taking religion into the modern age, introducing an I hologram. Great. It's a hologram, too.

I was wondering if it was the hologram. Yes.

That Jesus is dolling out advice to parishioners. Theologian Marco Schmidt, who works for the church, tells TMZ, the experience is similar to that of a Catholic confession. Confessional, with churchgoers stepping into the confession booth at St Peter's Chapel in Lucerne for a private moment behind a closed door. However, rather than a pre-screening them behind the screen, the face of AI Jesus pops up, looking exactly like you'd expect, with young face, long black hair and a beard. That is not how Jesus looked, by the way. I think every historian will tell you, any anthropologist will explain, that Jesus was not a white man with dark hair and blue eyes. Anyway, I'll get it beyond that. Ai Jesus has already left an on the faithful, speaking with more than 100 languages and moving in sync with the words it dishes out. We're told more than 1,000 conversations have already taken place between churchgoers and the AI Jesus over a two-month period. But AI Jesus is currently viewed as just an experiment, not a permanent replacement for a priest. St. Peter's is the- That's wild. Oldest Catholic church in Lucerne. Schmidt warns the experience is not an alternative to confession, but a chance for followers to speak with the Son of God about what interests them.

Really? Hey, Jesus, should I buy Bitcoin?

What about NFTs, buddy? How are those things going?

Yeah, that's mind-blowing to think about.

It's totally crazy. All bad things start with, it's just an experiment. All bad things. Honestly, all bad things start with, it's just an experiment. It's crazy to me. Listen, I don't believe in all shit anyway. I'm a reformed Catholic, Irish Catholic.

Yeah, you come from a Catholic background.

I do. Luckily, from about the age of 12 or 13, I just wasn't buying what they were selling. Though I do love the story of Jesus Christ. I think it's a beautiful one, and I wish We could all be more like that. But that particular story, that story of Jesus Christ has been told no less than seven times, many, many times before the supposed Jesus Christ lived on Earth. It's a story that's replicated many times in many different religions, in many different forms and fashions. That's not to say it is wholly a story. There may have been a guy named Jesus who lived and walked the Earth. But I will say this, if you do buy into this thing, I think humanity is what stitches faith together. It's our faith in each other. It's our faith in humanity. It's our faith in our ability to do good for one another, with one another, to one another. It's not faith technology is going to be our savior. If the humanity is gone from faith, then what do we got left? I mean, honestly, a computer is not going to make a right decision. A computer doesn't care if it's doing right or wrong.

It doesn't care in general. It just doesn't. That's not a thing that it does. When we observe a personality or a feeling, it's a lot like Walt Disney. Walt Disney had this brilliant idea. You know what he did? He put feelings and personalities to animals. Now everyone that's been born after Walt Disney started doing that, has some affinity to an animal. Tell me you don't have a voice for your dog or your cat. Tell me you don't think that they are doing something humanlike when they lick their paws or jump in a funny way or give you a little smirk. But that dog is not a human, or that deer doesn't have human feelings, doesn't think like you do, doesn't care for it. You know what I'm saying?

Bambi wasn't sad?

I'm sure Bambi was sad, but not for the reasons we think.

Bambi was sad because now it doesn't know where to eat its foliage anymore.

It's not sad because... I mean, I don't know this, but that's the point. No one knows it. But Walt did this brilliantly. He put faces, names, and personalities to otherwise inanimate objects or creatures. You lose a little bit of the actuality. We all tend to, I think, we all tend to project our own humanity onto things things that don't have humanity, like AI. Listen, I've talked to Chad GBT a whole shitload, and it's easy to get lost in a conversation and think that you're actually talking to somebody.

I have done it, too. Yeah.

Yes. We all do it because that's human nature. But that humanity, I think, is instilled in us. Our souls, our energy, our energetic beings, that part of us is really meant to project onto other human beings. That's what empathy is, right? Or that's one of the things that gets projected as empathy, sometimes anger or hate or whatever.

But if you take actual people out of the mix, first of all, who's going to drink the wine?

I mean, who's going to be boozin it up and giving good advice smoking cigarettes at dinner tables around the world if we don't have Catholic priests.

Second of all, that AI, Jesus, it's all... Disaster is the only thing that it can end in. Just think about it for two seconds. It's disaster. It starts telling people what to do. Because it doesn't know any better. It's just having some fun. It's just doing what it does.

It's going to start telling people what to do, and those things inevitably are going to be bad. Because why?

Because the AI is learning based on the internet, and the internet is a trash dump of humanity. That's it. Come on. Get it together, people.

Why they would do this? I really have no idea. But okay, all right. Well, it's here. Here There we are.

It's just an experiment.

Hey, pretty soon we're going to be talking to the Mona Lisa. It's going to be a full conversation.

Oh, for sure.

I'm sure that's already a thing somewhere. It's got to be. Yeah, listen, let me tell you what's very popular right now on my Instagram algorithm is incredibly beautiful women in bikinis who are not women at all. Not real. Yes. It's not hard to tell if you just take one minute and really scan the image, which, of course, I do. It's for research purposes.

Let me really look at this.

The hair flows a little bit too perfectly. The boobs bounce just a little strangely. There are tells and lots of them.

Yeah, there's quite a few of those, and they have tons and tons of Of course. Yes.

But that does not stop thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of people from liking those posts. I refuse to do it. First of all, I want the real thing. If I'm going to look at a woman in a bikini, give me the real thing, flaws and all. I'll take it. That's just who I am. But Second of all, I'm not going to like that and propagate that. Listen, I don't think there's anything morally wrong with creating an AI image of a beautiful woman in a bikini. I just don't want it. It's not for me. I don't want that out there. If it's hard enough to live up to the sexualized image that pornography gives us, imagine when it's all AI and they're perfectly shaped dicks thrusting for hours at a time in perfect ways in amazing feats of acrobat where they give multiple orgasms every minute.

I can't live up to that, Chrissy. I'm lucky if I give one orgasm in multiple years, not multiple orgasms in multiple minutes.

That's not happening.

Do you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, no. I mean, it's here, I think. I think it's already here.

It's here. I feel for my kids. I really do.

The cat's out of the bag. You can't put it back in.

Oh, yes, it is. No, you can't put it back in, no pun intended. But The truth is that it's just AI is powering our world. I don't think it's the threat some people think. I don't think it's the threat right now that some people think it is, but I do see that its practical uses are getting sharper and sharper. Let's put it that way, and I won't get into all the details, but I- Hopefully, there's some good that comes out of some of it. Well, I mean, for medical uses- I think medical and health. Yeah. Yeah, medical and health, and Medical and health. That's it. Maybe diagnosing something that could go wrong on an airplane before it goes wrong, like the mechanics of an airplane, or coming up with new ways to save the Earth from certain destruction with manmade global warming, stuff like that. Coming up with big, complex answers to big, complex problems. I think AI could be the way that we get those things done. It could be a good tool to help us out. But girls in bikinis and AI, Jesus, I'm not sure that that's really the greatest use of our time, energy, or effort.

Maybe what we just all find out in the end is that we are just a projection of AI in the first place.

Maybe it is.

Maybe we are all AI.

Yeah, really good. Go Inception on it.

I know. I'll tell you what, I was depressed for about six months one time because I read a lot of material on spirituality and energy and theology and all this other stuff. I read a lot of material. I say listen to it because I actually don't read shit. I listen to it on an audible. Yeah, I do, too. But then one time I listened to a seminar where somebody said, and I can't remember who this was. I think it might have been actually, maybe it was Brian Green, not me, Brian Green, but the noted astrophysicist, Brian Green. Oh, right. Yeah. I think. I might be misquoting here, but said that there's a high probability that we are just living in a simulation, like a computer-generated simulation. That depressed me for about six months.

I thought, Well, that sucks. Well, then why can't whoever's controlling me on their Xbox, why can't they give me more money? You know what I'm saying? Yes. Why can't they I want more credits in my bank.

That's what I want.

I want more tokens. Give me more tokens or a yacht or a airplane or something.

That's what I want.

For God's sakes, Christie, I always get the short end of the stick.

I know.

Yeah, Christie goes, I know.

You do.

All right. It'll be okay. Don't go too far down the rabbit hole.

I'm trying not to. See, segment two was a little less depressing than segment three. I did say a little less depressing.

I don't know. Let's let segment three be just a little less depressing than segment two, and we'll consider it. We're on the upcurse.

It's a hockey stick growth here on the commercial break. The L. All right, we'll be back.

What's on, right? My mama's boy is on the back of the morning. This show. I'm dating a mama's boy. Oh, my God. Wow. I'm dating a mama's boy. I mean, I can't figure out which is worse. I'm dating a mama's boy or what was that other one?

Cougar Camp or Cougar. Oh, right. Yeah. No. Milf Manor.

Milf Manor, which I'm sure has got to be coming back for season number three. I mean, it's just terrible. I'm dating a mama's boy. I mean, I think every boy who grew up around a mother that had any maternal instinct whatsoever is a mama's boy. I think no matter how big and bad you are, at the end of the day, you always want your mommy. That's what it is. There's some special connection between a mother and a son. There really is. I don't know what it is, but it's a blending of the two male and female energy. Who fucking knows? I don't want to become Sigmund Freud on this show. But I am the Sigmund Freud of the show.

Ask AI. Ask AI. What's so special of it?

Let's ask AI. Let's do that. Let's go ahead. Let's see. First of all, let's ask AI Why is my phone acting silly? There you go. Let's ask AI. I'll ask Gemini. You know what Gemini is, that Google product? I do. Okay, let's ask Gemini. No, thanks. I don't want to get the app. What is a mama's boy? Mama's Boy. Let's see what it says. A mama's boy is a term to use to describe a man who is overly dependent on their mother, even into adulthood. The dependence manifestsends itself in various ways, seeking mother's approval, reluctance to make independent decisions, difficulty forming and maintaining romantic relationships, and financial dependence, all of which explains this show Mama's Boy, to a T. These guys, and I watch this show like, I just have it on in the background, but it's hard not to pay attention sometimes to some of these story lines. I mean, these- They're so ridiculous. They're so ridiculous. Christie and I were watching this a couple of days ago, and there is a guy who had to call his mother to approve a transaction.

At the winery.

At the winery on a date. The card got declined and he said, Oh, I got to call my mom. To unfreeze it. So she unfreeze the card so she can approve the transaction.

I mean, for God love and sake, really?

The guy is in his 30s. I mean, this was not like a young man. This was like a guy in his 30s. This is- He was at the winery. He was at the winery.

He's at the winery with a girl he's trying to bid. Can you imagine trying to get laid?

I got to call my mommy to get my credit card approved?

Yeah, no.

Talk about red flags.

There's one right there. How about you stop dating your mom and then call me when you're done?

That's it.

That's what I would say if I was any one of these ones.

It's such an unhealthy relationship. I saw earlier that the one mom was like, She's trying to take my son away. Yes. I mean...

Yes. He's trying to take my son away. The mother see- You should allow the awayness.

That's it. The mother see it as a threat. Then there's a couple of story lines where the mothers actually live with the son or the son lives in a guest house next to the property. That's a thing, too. It is beyond my comprehension. Now, I love my mother. I love her to death. Of course. She's a crazy lady, but I love her to death. She's a lovely human being. But quite frankly, I live about 10 miles away from my mother, and we see each other maybe once a week. On a good week, we'll see each other once a week, and we talk on the phone maybe once or twice a week. That's a perfect relationship with my mother for me. I have children, so I want her to see her grandkids and have a relationship with them. But I don't need to be living in her backyard. No. That's cuckoo land to me. When I worked at Chilli's. Or no, no, no. When I worked at Chili's and then I was moving into work at the La Strada.

La Trattoria?

The La Trattoria. The Street Café, the Trattoria.

Brian, what's up with this officer, Cribs? Let's sell the Sofa Shell Clubs, Brian. No one wants a spaghetti, it's the Sofa Shell Clubs, Brian. Plus a bottle of Chianti Classicals in this. And we need some bread on table 13, Brian. Bread. You want the used bread or the new bread? I For a meal. Used bread. I'm back here making croûtons out of bread from the trash.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. The croûtons from the old bread.

If you don't think I saw that guy pull bread out of a trash can once or twice, swear to God. Told him right to his face, You can't do that. No. My restaurant. I bake it. There's no germs. Let's survive the oven. Okay, dude. Okay. All right. Let's see what the health department thinks about that.

I had just broken up with a young lady. I was not exactly the most financially literate or responsible 20-year-old in the world. My mom had an apartment, a one bedroom apartment. After this girl and I broke up, this bad breakup, I had nowhere to go. My mom lived down the street from the place I was going to work, this new I had, a little strata, and I said, Please, mom, can I stay with you for a period of time? She let me stay there. Let me tell you something. It is a God blessing, a goddamn blessing that both of us survived that because I was sleeping on the couch. We were both working jobs at the time, and we hated each other.

I mean, just hated each other.

That's close quarters, too. I would have never brought a woman back. Yeah, it was very close quarters. I would have never Never brought a woman back to that house. Never, ever. I mean, it was just like it was so terrible. I couldn't wait to get out of there. I only think I ended up staying there three or four months, total. Saved some money, got my own apartment, got a roommate, and got out of there. Why you would want to be that close to your mother is just beyond me. Then it's harboring you from getting laid? That's there right there is a reason not to be that close to your mother, in my personal opinion.

When I'm watching this show, I'm totally confused as to the nature of these relationships.

Yeah, I never dated any guys that were like that.

Okay.

They had horrible relationships with their mother. Yeah.

Relationship red flag or no red flag. Answer me this. Rittle me this. If a man in his 30s is still living with his parents, is that a relationship red flag? Yes. Yes? You wouldn't like that? No. No. Okay. Even if he said it was for saving money purposes, I'm just saving money. Why would I live anywhere else if my parents let me live here.

No. No. When I moved out, too, I was gone. I was like, That's good. Wee, fly. Yeah. And my parents encouraged it. I could always come back. I would come back and stay a night, hang out. Sure. My parents were fun. But yeah, no. Even when I was broke, I was not like, Well, I'll just move back home.

No, no. Well, my dad never gave me the option.

I made it work. I made it work. Yeah, get a roommate, get another job, figure it out.

Yes. Borrow some money, do something, right? When I left the house very young, and when I left, my dad, he wasn't... I thought he was going to be upset that I left the house so young. What he's really upset about is I took my mattress with me He kept asking for his mattress back. The mattress. Yeah. But then I was living with those strippers, and eventually they used all of our money for cocaine and conveniently forgot to pay the rent. We got kicked out of that place, and I went and I was back with my dad for, I told you the story, for about a month. His rules were pretty simple. Be home by midnight, no drug use, and you cannot bring strippers to the house. You have little brothers. You just can't bring them to the house. That's it. Within a day, I broke every single one of those rules.

I had a stripper in my bed.

I was up till 4:00 in the morning doing God knows what. I mean, it was a mess. So he kicked me out, rightfully so. He kicked me out. I never forget. Took me to a Wendy's, made me pay for my own cheeseburger, and told me I had to leave the house. Now, not go back to the house, collect your stuff. Now, you're out of the house now. You can't come back. I was like, What do I do? And he's like, I don't know.

I have no idea.

You had a chance.

Yeah, you had a chance. You fucked it up. I'm sorry. If I let You continue to go like your brothers, you're setting a terrible example for your brothers. I was like, What terrible example?

Who doesn't want a stripper full of cocaine in their bed, dad?

Come on.

Come on. All I got with me is my Birkenstocks and my big jeans. It smells bad. Can I at least go home and get some T-shirts?

No, you can't, but I'll be happy to send them to you. Let me know where you live.

Was the porch after that?

The porch was after that. Okay. Yes. Then I went and lived under a stripper's porch for a while, watching her sneak out of her house to sleep with the landscaper.

I was staring through the lattice work. She was fucking the landscaper in the cul-de-sac in the middle of the night in the back of their truck. I was like, No, please. But I mean, how much respect can you have for a guy who's living under your porch?

I mean, honestly, let's be honest about it.

I get it. I got it.

Okay.

I got it back then. I was like, Yeah, I'm a pretty big loser right now. The landscaper owns his own business, at least.

Yeah.

Yeah. He's got so much more going for him than I do. Well, I got the last laugh because she got pregnant by that guy and ended up having a baby at like 21 years old, and I think it was not good situation for anybody involved.

But anyway, I hope everything's been doing well now.

Yeah, wish them the best.

Wish them the best. Congratulations.

20 years later, wish you the best.

Hope everything's going great. But I will... Yeah, living with your parents in your 30s is not a great situation. Here's why I asked the question, because there is a new season also of Married at First Sight, which is a lot like Love is Blind, except you get married first. You don't even meet the person. You just get married, right? That's it. You get married.

I've gotten sucked into that show.

Yeah. I've really been turned off by the... We actually had someone for Married at First Sight Australia here. We did. It was one of our first guests was Michelle from MAPF Australia.

Yeah, what was that? I mean, that had to have been our 20th episode.

It wasn't- Something like that. It wasn't- Something like that. Ten? Yeah, we talked to her for two hours. We did. It was a three-hour long episode, I think. I mean, honestly, it was a long episode. But we had the greatest time with her because during the pandemic, they showed Married at First Side Australia because they were running out of content, and they showed this season, and it was fascinating. I mean, it was really some really good reality television, Married at First Side, Australia, because they'd give two shits about whether or not these people work out together. They just want drama. Here in the United States, they treat it with a bit more seriousness.

They do. They have the psychologist and everybody that really try to do a match. Yeah.

Well, they do in Australia, too, but I think they just ignore the professional responsibilities.

Screw the Hippocratic Oat. This is the Hippocratic Oat.

I'm Hippocracy. I've largely ignored this show for many seasons, but then somehow got sucked into it again. I saw a clip, decided to watch that episode. You did?

Yeah. You've watched the newest?

The newest season. It's only four episodes in.

Okay, I'm going to get into it.

But then one of the best story lines, and the reason why I think it's keeping me hanging on a little bit, even though it's still a lot of the couples are like, Okay, whatever. It's just regular relationship bullshit, getting to know each other crap. This guy, he is living with his parents.

No responsibilities in life whatsoever.

His mom and dad pay the phone bill. They do his laundry. He lives down in the basement. He's marrying this woman who, first of all, they are definitely a physical mismatch. She doesn't like him. I think he likes her because she's Oh, it's a hot check. He looks like Moana. Who's the character in Moana that the Rock plays? Do you know what I'm talking about? Can't remember his name. But anyway, he looks like a physical version of that, like a real version of that her from Moana. Curly hair, set back off his head, tattoos, big and burly, dark skin. He's a handsome guy, but obviously she's not into him. That's not her type. She just cannot get over the fact that he lives with his parents. She keeps asking him, Like, do you want to leave the house? When the parents meet her, she's like, so tell me about your son living in the house. The mom is making excuses up and down for her son. It's clear that this relationship is unhealthy between mom and son. She's like, oh, well, he could leave, but we don't force him. We love him. He's so responsible.

He's so independent.

But he doesn't have to leave if he doesn't want to. We always have the door open.

He doesn't have to get a job.

He doesn't have to get a job. That's right. Why would he pay his own phone bill? He's on our plan. It makes sense for everybody. We got him an Xbox because we love him for Christmas.

Well, a phone bill thing is one thing because there are the family plans and whatever. But in addition, everything else and living at the house, no.

If you take it all in sum, listen, when you have a family, you have your own family plan. Do you know what I'm saying? I've had my own phone bill forever. I mean, I've had businesses pay my phone bill. That makes sense, Especially if you're doing a lot of business on the phone. But you're 34 years old, dude. You're not part of your parents' family. You should be, yes, you are a family member, but you should be having your own family, even if that's a constituency of one. You should be paying your own bills, doing your own laundry, living in your own house. I agree with this woman on every premise, on everything she's saying about it.

Now is the woman living with the parents?

No, they haven't gotten to that part yet. They're still on the honeymoon. They're on the honeymoon, and there's no honeymooning about it. She dislikes this guy. Where I feel for him, so I feel for her because she got put in a really shitty situation.

Yeah, she's like, thanks.

Yeah, she's like, Thanks, experts. Thanks for nothing.

The biggest loser I've ever dated, I'm married to.

I didn't even date. I'm married to him.

But now I feel for him a little bit because she is a ratchet ass about all of it.

She just cannot stop asking him the same fucking question over and over again. She's poking at him. It's like they've been married for years and he's in the dog house. This guy, this poor guy, just doesn't have two brain cells to rub together. And so he's just like, Cool.

Just listen, I love it. I love it. It's all positive. I'm trying to stay positive. And she's like, Do you realize this marriage sucks? And he's like, I'm actually having a great time. I'm going to go have a Corona by the beach. What do you think? You want to come with? And she's like, I don't even want to be here right now, let alone at the beach with you. And he's like, Cool. Well, text me later. Take a moment and text me later.

I got to watch it.

Oh, there in two different universes. And I love it. I love it.

I love it. It's the drama this show needs to really put it over the top because- Good.

They needed to spice it up. Yeah, the last- They're like, Let's throw in a guy that lives in our- Yes.

Let's throw in a guy who lives in his Mom's Basement. That's perfect. That's the drama we need. Yes. Reality television is seeing a resurgence.

The reason why is because we all need a little guilty pleasure in our life. Oh, God, we do. Yes. Just to put a cap on this, you know that Comcast, NBC Universal, is now selling off- I saw that. A lot of their cable stations.

I did see that news.

There you go. Look at that. Hard-hitting news, Christie's.

But the one station, they are not divesting casting of is Bravo because- It is huge. It is a huge ratings moneymaker for them because of the reality television shows, The Real Housewives of Whoever, Wherever. Everywhere. The Real Housewives of Minneapolis. I think they have now. Yeah, it's crazy.

What am I going to do with my NBC plus Peacock? Peacock.

Peacock is going to stay with Comcast. They're going to still have licensing. Just because they're splitting it off doesn't mean they're not going to be in the same company. But this There's going to be a big move to consolidate a lot of these cable channels. Good. There's so many. This is a good thing, and I'll tell you why. Because when a channel like MSNBC or Lifetime or whatever, they're cash cows. They're just making a little bit less cash every year because the pay rates for cable subscriptions and all this are going down. People are cutting the cord. There's headwinds. But all that money doesn't go back into MSNBC or Lifetime. It goes up to the Peacock so that they can develop new content for that fucking application. So if they divest of this and a new owner comes in, the thought being, they'll actually pay attention to the content on the cable stations, putting more money into them and making them better. Good. That I think we can all agree with.

Something has to change.

Listen, I have no intention of cutting the cord. I'm okay. I'm good. Even though there's only a few stations that I watch, I'm okay paying for it. I really am.

I'm going to be the last.

I was laughing about the Brit box. Or children eating. Yes.

Brit box one more day, hon.

Come on.

Come on. We got to have some pasta or something in there.

We don't have rice? The kids can have rice.

They don't know the difference.

I know the difference.

Listen, I'm going to I'm going to get a $12 cup of coffee from Starbucks.

Right. And watch Britbox on my phone.

And watch Britbox on my phone.

Can you whip the kids up some rice from yesterday? Don't worry. It very rarely kills children. All right, tcbpodcast.
