[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't even talk to someone that doesn't, when you're trying to level them, like trying to tell them to calm down, they can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they're so angry, they're not, they, they can't be, there's no rational, they don't become, you know, rational. They're, they just lose it. So when people, if you're mad enough to go leave a review,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's either this is the greatest or this is the worst. There's never a guy that's just in the middle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. I had a great time. Food is great. Would you like? Dollywood. I would really review. There is, I love Dollywood. Yeah. I think I was super impressed because I didn't know what to expect. You know what we realized too? I was like, why did we never go there as a kid? It's because we had an opera lane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we never would have went, because we had a theme park here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. So it never would have been, you never would have thought to go, cause I was like, I told my, I called my mom, I go, why did we never come here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, it would have just been an easy vacation, but it was because we had Opulent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're, they're, Dolly Parton would have probably been live shows, but they couldn't have live shows. Yeah. There was, she talked. It's not Dolly. It's not like, it's not like it's Mickey Mouse. Yeah. Yeah. Where it would be, you know, you see Mickey Mouse everywhere. That's what, that's what he wanted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're not telling us to say, I don't think we got a free Dollywood. We did not. Uh, no Ubers out in Dollywood. We learned that. No Ubers in Pigeon Forge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. She's very nice. She's very nice. Yeaah. Hour 15, that's tough. Yeaah. Uh, alright. Is there anymore hoaxes? I don't have time for urban legends. No, that's the main ones. Uh, we'll do urban legends, uh, on its own separate. Hoaxes was enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is all hoax. We got Nick to convince back and forth. Nick thought there was a hoax a couple of times. That was fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're reading hoaxes. Why would we throw one in there that's like a real one? And then you're like, oh wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's great. What are you, insanity dude? Nick, get off the podcast. Nate, $85,000. Final answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright everybody, uh, Nateland, thank you so much. Thanks for leaving the comments, reviews, YouTube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Review with all the stuff. All the TripAdvisor stuff you're helping us out. Truly, we love you guys. Uh, thank you, uh, as always for listening to One Night Only Tour. Easter Seals, go support Nick's, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's a play on the, uh, the three Stooges. Yeah. And do you even know who that is, Aaron? Three Stooges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not lying. I've watched them at syndi- Are you listening to them on the radio? Syndication. I like their humor. About something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm trying to do it to help him out, but I messed up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I looked him up and he didn't kill a guy with a fire, but he did torture him. The guy was messing around with his wife, supposedly. They separated, but Buddy got a hold of him, had a cop guard the door and burned him with a cigarette and beat him with a fire lock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's the second time he got convicted for racketeering and, uh, went to jail for like five years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this guy was a legend. I mean, what year was this? I think he started in like, like he was a political on the rise in the seventies. He spoke at the 1976 Republican convention. There was some talk about him being vice president and then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did some crazy, he ran for Senate in his own state, even though they already had a Republican candidate. He's like, well, I'm just going to run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the money's done at the first window. You gotta give them money before they're gonna give you some back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're very funny. These are basically graphs that are trying to make...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just like your Walmart and life expectancy. Some of these are very funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the first one there, U.S. spending on science, space and technology and correlates with suicides by hanging strangulation and suffocation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like it's, you can make an argument. We'll see. When, when, when spending on space. We have more hangings. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number of people who drowned by falling into a pool correlates with films Nicolas Cage appeared in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought so too. I think I'd rather have Marjoram. I don't know. Really? I have no idea. But his point is that you can find two things and put them with anything and make an argument for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he's basically saying, even though Rhode Island did not vote for prohibition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three-fourths of the states did, so it passed, so they still gotta honor it. So it wasn't like they were just boozing it up in Rhode Island.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They didn't vote for it, but three-fourths of the states, or more, or more than that, uh, you only need three-fourths of the states to vote for, to pass the amendment, and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just like voting, even if you didn't vote for a candidate, if that candidate won, that's still the group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I had Magic Spoon last week and it was great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's going to be more fun I think when we start comparing some of these states. Start seeing some trends and things like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doing research on this, it reminded me a little bit of the best time to be alive episode we did a few weeks ago, because you read about some of these inventions that changed history and you're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm glad because before this existed, life was not as good. Yeah, for sure. Um, I mean, you guys have already basically laid out your greatest invention, toilet air conditioning. I think we both could see that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would you guys guess was the first invention ever?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was not the will. The will came on a little bit later. Stone tools were the very first invention by anthropologists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's good. That's a good stone tools to make stuff with and pit people with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fire was right up there. Fire they say is the greatest invention of all time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 125,000 years ago they said. You've got the great joke about-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've got the great joke about if you went back in time, you don't even know if you could prove you're from the future. Is there anything you guys think you could invent if you went back in time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. I think I would try to rub two sticks together. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just chipping away. But I mean, it would have to be that basic for me and it still would take me a long time to get it. I couldn't make a harpoon or a sword for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. So fire, at least, is the greatest invention. It gave us warmth, protection, uh, it led to a lot of inventions, but the biggest thing is cooking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this Vanderbilt University Neuroscience scientist says that our human brains are not exceptional. We're basically like primate brains. Uh, the only difference is we've learned how to cook food, which gives us enough nutrients to let our brain get the energy to expand. And if it wasn't for cooking food,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We, we would never have evolved. That's what they say because our brains have energy, are energy hungry and they need the calories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cook and we had to eat the raw food. We have spent nine and a half hours every day eating enough food to survive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The will was the next big invention, 3500 BC. The will was pretty important, but it wasn't the will that was so hard to make.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People figured out how to make a round thing roll. It was the axle to attach to it. That really is the important part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's the main thing, because then they could build carts and that changed everything. Now you can start transporting stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can go greater distances because you can ride.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm sure it's pretty simple. Basically, the beginning, the axle. Right. But it needs to be in the middle. That's kind of important. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the compass was very important. Before the compass, people, like spores, uh, he navigated by the stars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once the Chinese invented the compass, uh, then they could start traveling long distances and not get lost. So that changed everything as far as the age of discovery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, gunpowder, gunpowder was invented in the 9th century, also in China. It changed the way military technology happened. I mean, human history as far as battles. Uh, this is the biggest, maybe one of the biggest ones, the printing press. Printing press was the internet before the internet. It was invented by Gutenberg in 1440, and before the printing press,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Bible, changed the Bible because, uh, before that the Catholic Church, Catholic Church wasn't a fan. Did you know that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they were, few people could read basically anyway and had access to the Bible and books of scripture, so it would priest or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Monks, uhm, would read it to you and basically tell you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Change everything. People started reading for themselves. They started coming up with their own ideas. They couldn't squash an idea because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were spreading around, you know, they would try to squash an idea, but now 10 more people have access to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They would call somebody a heretic and just try to get rid of them, but 10 more people would pop up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the Protestant Reformation basically started because of the printing press. Martin Luther read, you know, the Bible, had a lot of problems with the Catholic Church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wrote 95 problems, put it on the door, and things went crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aaron's not a fan, but yeaah. Worked out pretty well for you and I.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, the printing press changed everything because then people could start reading for themselves, newspapers started, everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, all the denominations of churches that broke off from the Catholic Church kind of started after this. After the printing of breath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, once people, once people start reading and they come up with their own ideas or problems they have and then they're like, well, let's do this or let's do this. So it was kind of like the internet before the internet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it changed the world because now everybody could, you know, have access to information on their own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Telephone. Telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It allowed us to communicate all over the world. It was called the Electrical Speech Machine when it was first invented.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, when Bell died in 1922, U.S. telephone services stopped for a minute to honor him. I feel sorry for that guy, I was on an important business call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think how crazy that must have been though, to be able to communicate and hear someone's voice from far away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thomas Edison invited me to the light bulb, which basically led to electricity, which changed everything because before then people would go to bed as soon as it got dark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they have different sleep patterns because they couldn't sleep for, you know, that long. But once the light bulb invented, people started going to bed and sleeping seven, eight hours a night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or people were getting up during the night, I said. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the internal combustion engine led to the invention of cars and airplanes, which obviously changed the world in the 20th century.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Made the world much smaller now that people could travel. You can travel anywhere in the world now basically in a day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And by boat, as we talked about maybe last week, it would take months to travel from Europe to America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, vaccinations changed everything when they figured out that ways to start vaccinating people for certain diseases made the life expectancy go way up, especially when they invaded penicillin, which took care of a lot of infections.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spoken word was the greatest invention of our time. Uh, contraceptive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, contraceptives drastically reduce the average number of children born throughout countries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With fewer mouse defeats, modern families have achieved higher standards of living and can provide better for each child.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On a global scale, it's, it's leveled off the population in overpopulated countries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know the Catholic Church is against that as well, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By, uh. Al Gore? No, by, uh, computer scientist Lawrence Roberts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, he left out something and it started molding and he realized that it killed, uh, the bacteria in it and it worked as an antibacterial


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, stuff in our lifetime, caller ID. Guy in Huntsville, Alabama, invented the first caller ID. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the DVD. 1996. Now we're getting into your lifetime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh. Been in 1999, but didn't get big til the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, 2000, it was named after 10th century Denmark king, Harold Bluetooth Gorsman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just named it after him. Uh, this is uh, well there he is. This is the uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the 20, this week is the 20 year anniversary of Wikipedia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think Wiki is just a computer term that may be for information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steve Jobs made a prank call order of 4,000 lattes to a nearby Starbucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, 300,000 patents are issued in the U.S. each year. Which is just over, only 50% are approved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I thought, just a little bit over. Here's some current inventions that have recently come out. The Pay-O-Fit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was, uh, invented in Japan. It's to exercise your face muscles. Uh, there it is right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 94%, look at that pie graph, 94% approved of it. Yeah, but that's what...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's talk about some failed inventions on that line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Read-O-Matic was invented, the Robot Read-O-Matic was invented in 1963. It was meant to help slow readers improve their pace by revealing one line of text at a time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mechanical plate would slide down the page, I think that, I probably didn't say that one to you. Mechanical plate would slide down the page letting you know where to read in order to make a certain pace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It came out in the sixties, but it's just like a metal bar that came down and helped you like move one line at a time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, didn't work very well. It could pick up the phone and put the phone back down, but it couldn't answer the phone or even, well, you'll leave a message. There's a photo of it. I think maybe it would just hand it to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The exact same time the Catmew machine came along. This has been invented in Japan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a Japanese machine that meowed 10 times per minute to scare away rats and mice and the eyes lit up, but it did not work and rats and mice actually increased.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We just put out a fake owl to try to scare away, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, squirrels from our house and deck and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sewing machine bicycle. Oh wow. In 1939, an inventor in Chicago created a bicycle for a family of four, all that could ride together. And the mom could even keep sewing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they're just trying to get famous for something. A lot of stuff didn't work out. It was 1939.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I don't think I sent you this one, but the baby cage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in 1884, there are photos of this. Dr. Luther Emmett Holt said in a book that babies need to be aired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thinking was that part of the process to toughen up babies and make them better able to withstand common colds was to expose them to cold temperatures outside or through cold water bathing, which would grant them certain immunity. So people who lived in


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big cities like New York and London started, didn't have yards, started putting their babies in these cages that hung outside the window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That happened for a while. Eleanor Roosevelt did this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She did it to her baby before she was first lady in the United States. When she lived in New York. A lot of people did this. And then it was very popular.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In New York, it said because of the rise of urban auto built, bill traffic, the smog started. Oh, okay. It's kinda hard with babies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like an air conditioner. I mean, it's probably not going to fall, but it could.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I saw a picture of one crawling in the cage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like that one right there, the Bolden Beautiful Baby, I mean, that's, uh, or that 1930s Outdoor Baby one right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember when Michael Jackson put his baby out of window for a few seconds. Blanket. Yeah. And people freaked out. The baby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come to the paparazzi? Yeaah, it was paparazzi, just trying to be funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, in 1896, the first person was hit and killed by a car. And so then the car makers started trying to come up with ways to prevent pedestrian accidents. So a couple of car companies came up with the car walker catcher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, pedestrian safety device. I think I sent these to you, right? Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, first introduced the public in Germany. They had two different, two different types.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a device that, it's not on there all the time. This is 10 years later, you push a button, almost like an airbag, that when you see someone walking down the streets, too bad this isn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Playing, but it's push a button and it pops out like an airbag. If you see someone walking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so he's fine. Wow. He's fine. Now this is, these cars,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, automobile accidents is still one of the leading cause of death every year. Yeah, I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I read they tried to smell a vision at movie theaters where they put out scents for parts of the movies and it just didn't work because the next people came in to see the movie. It's just like, what is that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up everybody, welcome to another episode of the Nate Land podcast. I'm Nate Barghatsis, Aaron Weber, Brian Bates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still introducing, also people have, uh, our dog, she's under here, her name's Holly, and you might see her running around. She sits in here for, I don't know, some of the episode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then she even thinks it's too long. So she leaves. It was one of her comments and she runs out. But, uh, yeah, thank you guys for coming back. Uh, you know, we're starting to, we're getting into groove. I think we're starting to figure out, you know, what's the, what's the system of how we're doing this? I like papers. I love having papers, man. Like this. It's nothing better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels like something's accomplished. Uh, and we have a good list of stuff to talk about today. I, what, uh, I was thinking about starting the show is what we did last week is we want to do the first, you know, the first beginning to kind of comments on some comments that people wrote about, about the last episode. And, uh, so I think we're going to try to keep that going and see how that goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you're listening and you don't want to hear about these comments,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, also yeah, I realized like the, the point of this is we're just looking this stuff up. And like, so that's it. I mean, there's no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's not, you know, there's not a guy, like that's what Rogan's for. Go watch Rogan. Rogan talks to a professional.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're just comedians talking about whatever we're trying to find topics that are fun to talk about. We like having stuff that are, you can dive in and get involved and try to be interesting and funny and whatever it is. And, but yeah, we definitely, we're shooting from the hip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I mean a lot of stuff could be completely wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so that's what it's, I mean, that's what it is. It's going to be wrong. I don't know. Most things I do is wrong, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they go, it's the worst thing I hate hearing comics say it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they say, uh, they mentioned something like, I went to the store today, but I'll get to that in a minute. And then, and then they go into something else, you're like, dude, I can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, I'm already regretting. I don't want to hear the story thing. You know, the whole time you're talking, I'm like, ah, we still have to wait to hear he went to the store. He hasn't even got into that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like an old man. Yeaah, I have a hard time, uh, getting the ATM in the car to drive to. They don't make it anybody else and you're like, nah, I think your arms are getting shorter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, so let's just go through these comments. So the first one, we're gonna do, uh, Matt Orgen, O-R-G-E-N, and a lot of people commented this, but the office took off because the 40 year old virgin came out between season one and two, otherwise it was being considered for cancellation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's also why he got in shape, they said. Yeah, for the movie. Yeah, so that's good. So that's solved. Mark it. Go and check that one off. Done?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's fair. I like that the guy has narrowed it down to, it was you. That's some detective work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At Brian Bates Comic, is it at Brian Bates Comic? Comic. Comic, yep. So go and follow if you're tired of noise, uh, nose hair whistling. Cut your ears off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I'd go with the ears to be honest, Sam. Either, I'd say I want the listeners to be, I want them to either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cut their ears off or, or listen. I don't want, I don't want, I don't want you half in. You're either all in. You're either ears are off. I can't listen because both my ears are gone. Are your, are your fan and you're listening. That's the, that's the way I want it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brock Sanderson, uh, Gretzky was so dominant that if he took all his goals away, he would still hold the record for most points ever, which is unbelievable how crazy he is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They get points for assists and goals and something else. I feel like we can't ask quite now. We're going to have to read comments. So this is a comment for the last week of the comment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's all just keeps going, never stops. It's assist. Assist. Okay. And so yeaah, he, he could, all his, so all his actual goals, and so they get points, he could still lead in points, which is- That's insane. Nuts. Nuts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interesting fact, when Pete Weber said, who do you think you are? I am.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Couldn't get better. That to be the reason. That's Peter. What was, uh, what made you say that? I'll tell you what made me say that. Stupid kids of this generation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean that is definitely an old man yelling, talking trash to a kid and doesn't really know what he's saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is, cause you, you are, or something. It's the opposite, and then he says, who do you think you are? I am. Such a great line. Another one, another comment, it's a very funny sports story. She, uh, was it a girl? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so the young lady, youth, she was at Youth Swim Meet, the 4x100 relays where each member swims the length of the pool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First member of the relay dives in and starts swimming down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This girl, she's, I'm supposed to go third, but I didn't know someone else comes back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You dive in, there's no, the person has no, it's full on commitment with just all the people watching going, why are you doing that? And you're like, hey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just really getting after it. Yea, to pass somebody in the water. Oh god, you almost hit each other, just what are you doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just to come up too, to come up and just be like, just like really like, just, how do I do it, are we good? And you're like, you've lost it, you've lost it. That girl at the other end touches and just thinks, I mean the girl at the other end probably touches and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I mean, I don't know if everybody's putting it together. You could think someone drifted over into the lane. I bet that happens with like youth swim is just, someone just is in four lanes over, just kind of sideways angle. You ever see, you ever go see someone swim in like the YMCA and they.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just, uh, boom. It's like they're just hitting the sides. They can't stay straight. I never like if you go swimming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you, I like swimming and I tried to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I don't know, it's a whole thing to go swimming, like if you go to the Y or something, you would go in, it's just a nightmare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I never, I was like, I'm not going to ever commit to this, to be the exercise you're supposed to do. And when you go and like, if it's crowded too, I'm out. Like I need maybe one person in the whole pool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the area. If it's three, I mean, I'm done. If there's one, cause people just get in lanes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People just will get in and be like, oh, okay, I'll swim and I'll swim this way. You swim there and stay in the same lane. And that's so uncomfortable to me. Like I think if the lanes are full, I mean, I'm just not swimming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course. I'm not going to share Elaine. That's crazy, right? Yeah. Yeah. Ah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd say, well, there's a lot, there's, there's, I would want to go if they go, there's a lot of, we learned from COVID wash your hands. Like they do all this health stuff and they go, then we got Nate and I want to be like, guys, the social distance thing is not a bad way to live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that's something we should all take away from COVID, is make sure, stand back from the person ordering. If you're at Starbucks, what do you, what do you gotta, are you, are you, gotta order over that guy's shoulder? No, back up. Just back up. Even if you're healthy, even if you're two healthy people, maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't just be on top of some, don't be a backpack to a guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, this works out well for you. I love it. I mean, dude, sitting at a restaurant is the greatest thing ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, alright, the, uh, this one, I do like this real quickly, someone said, in the 70s,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This woman, she said, uh, she was a teen mom killing it. Uh, I have a joke about teen moms. They actually do great because they, because I mean, if I was a teen mom, if I was a teen parent right now at 41, my daughter would already be gone. Yeah. You believe you're living the life, you know, you hit, you hit 35, 40 kids out of the house. Wow. I mean, you're in the peak of your life. Yeah. Been there, done that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She, and she said during her presidency, I think she smoked in the gynecologist's office. He said that smoking while pregnant wasn't horrible and it might just make the baby be smaller. I mean, that's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think in general the whole time. It's whole life, yea, it's just gonna be underweight. It's whole life. It's under, yea, it's skinny. All the skinny people out there, their parents smoked. That's a fact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So who we got? We got a lot of people for the first one with no smoking, but the second one's pretty tough to find. You'll find someone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a hundred percent true. This guy wrote, I was watching the podcast last night and experienced laughter induced. I don't know. Syncope. Syncope. Syncope. S Y N C O P E. Is that how you say that? I don't know. Oh, got a word that, uh, there's going to be a bunch of words. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, I fainted while laughing. It was when Brian was talking about his running between bases. I was laughing hard, don't get me wrong, but I've laughed harder and stayed conscious. Going into the doctor tomorrow about it will keep you updated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We, we just wanna hear and make sure that guy's alright. Yeaah. But that's pretty crazy. He fainted while laughing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, laughter and yeaah. So yeaah, I guess so hard that, I mean, it made him faint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kill someone. Uh, I don't know, that'd be good to have in the bio. You go, this guy kills, literally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love you guys that this one guy wrote. Uh, I love you guys in the podcast. For the love of God, do your research.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, if, if, if it wouldn't be so bad if Nate didn't say it with such confidence, uh, the dude's name is Luca Donchich. And I was saying Donkic, I think. So it's Luca Donchich. So I messed, uh, his name up that gets messed up regularly on television. Yeah. And Kobe scored 81 not 82.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, I'm, I'm on the, you know, that is a comment though that's 81, 82. He said that as if I said Kobe had 140 points. And he's like, dude, it's 81. Let's relax. It's not that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said that stuff bugged me much more than it should have. So he does acknowledge that. He's got a problem. He's like, yea, what do you want me to do, man? I was excited. I got excited about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Donchich. Donchich. Yeah. Who's, uh, this isn't a sports person's last name, that was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Yanis, Yanis. I don't even try that. Ankatelopou, his name. You hear, it's tough, man. That's a tough one to say. I just always say Yanis. The Greek freak. He's the other one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, alright, yeaah, well, we're gonna have Luca on, and he can help us say the name right. That's, that's all right, Luca, could you come on and, we just asked him how he said his last name, and we're like, alright Luca, that's enough. Thanks for coming in, uh, appreciate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I love it. Cause I do think that's a genuine comment. I, I, I mean, I don't know, I can't tell if they're being funny. I honestly think that's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a, that's what they think. They think. What does that mean? Well, I think you would be older than the lunch lady in middle school, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think, I think there's not a listener on here that's like, oh, I hope me and Brian get to hang out one day. But I think they enjoy seeing you as they get their mashed potatoes, as you throw their mashed potatoes on their tray. I think they enjoy being like, she's fun and nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Broke it to me one day, as you smoke a cigarette in the back. I feel lunch ladies always smoke. They just be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I mean, maybe early on they could, but like, yeah, you go out back doors cracked open. They're always, you know, smoking them. Uh, let's move on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I figured it's going to be about 20 minutes of uh, you know, just trying to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talk to, you know, I, like I said, I think people, when they listen to podcasts, it's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People want to say stuff. And so obviously we can't read everything, but it does help. I think it's good to, yeah, you guys correct us on stuff and you have other facts. You have funny stories. So we do want to read some of that stuff. So I think, yeah, that's what the podcast should be. We'll do, you know, first 20, 30 minutes of that, and then we get into the actual episode. And I like telling you that in case you want to fast forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You listen how you want to listen, you know? That's what it is. Did you want to say something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I probably. Yeaah. I mean that first episode, I was like, how long do we do it? One of them, I was like, it was right at an hour. Like the first episode, you nailed it. Yeaah. That's why I was interested. Do you go by the sun? I can tell by the, at night? Night's a little tougher, but I can get it within 2-3 hours. Yeaah. It's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which, uh, Seinfeld Poppy died today. For the Seinfeld fans out there, if everybody remembers Poppy, uh, he passed away. And also, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harvey Updike. Harvey Updike. The guy that poisoned the tree that we just talked about. He passed away. Two greats. Two guys. Two guys ahead of their time. Poppy and Harvey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think we should investigate that tree and see what's, maybe ask that tree some questions. How funny would that be to see someone asking that tree, where were you at the night Harvey died and just sitting and talking to the tree?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeah, so, and I like telling people they can fast forward. Like I honestly, I'm a big, it's all upfront. You don't have to listen to this whole thing. Do whatever you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This guy wrote, sports, really sports, what's next? Oh, let's discuss marching bands for an hour. This guy sounds like me. That's what I would do. I go from very, uh, exaggerated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was just starting to like the podcast and you guys are yapping about your local sports matches like a bunch of, oh, high school jocks. Boring. Uh, and then same guy commented under that comment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, sorry about that previous comment. Spoke too soon. I really enjoyed this episode. Very interesting and highly amusing. Mr. Brad. No, he said my Brad. His name is Brad. I think he's being funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My Brad. I don't know, he might have just messed up. Maybe. I'm more offended if he did that as a joke, the My Brad part. So yeaah, that's, you know what, that's the comments that you need, man. I love that. I love that someone


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what you don't see on the internet, is someone that says something crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not crazy, but their opinion, whatever. Right. And then go, you know what, I was actually wrong, that was actually pretty great. Yeaah. And then you see that, and they respond, that's so good for him, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, seeing the growth, I'm not against if they wanted, if they deleted it, you know, if they thought it was mean. And sometimes people listen to stuff and they say stuff in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, mean ways. So, I'm fine with either one. Whatever they wanted to do. I mean, most people just write the top one and then leave. Most people don't listen to anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, so, this will kind of lead into, our episode today is going to be about the future. Just, it's, you know, the future, there's a lot of crazy stuff that can happen. And, uh, and I was thinking about it, I thought about it a lot lately. Like, there's people that want to be, being famous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is, I think everybody wants to be, I think everybody wants to be a fan. I think that's the problem you have with journalism too now, with journalism obviously is something that people get mad at. And I think it's because all these journalists want to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this is when Holly's getting out now, by the way. You can look. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Holly's. Yeah. She's like, Oh, here it goes. Holly's actually one of the few listeners that just wants the comments and then doesn't want to hear about the meat and potatoes that we dive into.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, but like I think a big problem with journalism is journalists want to be famous. And that's their thing. And that's why they write crazy stuff and they make stuff because they're trying to be famous. It's all about an audience, having an audience. And everybody goes and tries to get this audience. And so everybody, it's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's, that's a huge, huge problem. And be, you know, to get famous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm not talking about any now and currently, but think about the old days of becoming famous. The old days, if you're Tony Bennett.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You had to go earn all of that. Like being a celebrity in that, it was a very earned kind of thing. That guy was just around and then you just see him everywhere. He has to put all this work out. It's all this crazy amount of stuff. And I mean, there's people that won't know Tony Bennett, but they would know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, someone on TikTok or knows someone on Instagram or like, all this stuff that now, they don't have to create. We're talking about that, uh, Rex Chapman, the guy on Twitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a former Kentucky basketball player, right? If that's the same guy. I'm pretty sure it is. So he just retweets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] videos that other people make. He's a curator. Yeah. So like that's a thing though. That guy has all these followers and this, you know, whatever makes money off of this stuff and becomes, it's created nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely nothing. He's just someone that can go, I can go find the best stuff and I put it together and now you just have to follow me and don't worry about it. And that, it's a very weird thing to me because it's, we're losing, I think we lose sight of people that are actually creating something. Guys that, there's, there's,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, if you, if you like art, you know, as anything, comedy to music, you want the creative side. I think music probably had, I'm not the best music person, but music seems like it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can just kind of grab someone and throw them up. Like it doesn't really matter. I don't think, some of them seems like they don't, maybe they don't have to sing good. They, if they're, if they're cute and or handsome, they can go and we're like, we can make whatever out of it. We have plenty of people. We have a machine that can throw you out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I mean, I don't know essentially if that's the problem. I think the internet, the social media, it's people being famous. People wanting to be famous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's, and everybody has an audience. Everybody talks as if they have an audience. Everybody. I was trying to write, uh, if this ever becomes a joke. I was trying to see if this could be a joke. I don't think it can now. It's very hard, hard. But that idea,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That social media, I think we end up talking to people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you end up, you're talking, like we're talking to nobody. When you're even at our homes, you have Alexa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just go, hey Alexa, text my mom. I mean, you're talking like a king.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're just a, but that mentality, you start doing that everywhere. You start, you, you're driving, uh, text back, no. And then you're just, I mean, you end up, it's a weird that you're kind of just shouting out demands and something's doing these demands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that mentality for some people just loses touch with reality and that's where people when they post stuff and they have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they're just post their comment, their opinion on something. It's like, who are you making this opinion to? No one's, like, when, when, if you have two views, then you should know that you have two views.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You shouldn't think, people think they have a hundred views or ten views on something and they're like, ah, I gotta go, I gotta, you know, people want to know what I'm up to. I see people doing Facebook live videos and it's three people are watching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just turn it off, man. Just get out of the way. You're in the way. You're the, like, all that is, we're all, like, and that guy, that person thinks they're famous. They think, why are you talking to three people? What, who, who?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I understand putting it out, see it's just everybody can put everything out now. So anybody can try anything. If someone wants to be a comedian, they can go put out videos and start becoming a comedian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get very sensitive about that kind of stuff as a comedian, but I don't like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, cause people get a dive in, everybody gets to be like, I'm a comedian. You know, like, creating an hour worth of material is extremely hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many times you gotta do it over, and how many times you gotta say it over, and how many times you gotta make it, to make it so by the time you shoot a special, it's this kind of perfect thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's extremely hard to do and it just takes a long time to do it. Now there's a lot of tricks you can do where you don't have to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you don't have to create this. So like, the true art of a lot of things is kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and with comedy, it was, I think it was, you know, like Richard Pryor was on the other day, uh, I saw it on Showtime or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Live stream, and I said I even know a ton about, I know Richard Pryor obviously being a comedian, but I, I didn't listen to him, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I, but I was just, I don't know, I was watching, and he was just so personal and him talking about his, you know, just the way he's, I don't know, when we got him to the fire, when that one live at the center, he talks about that. It's just extremely personal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On stage, I mean, it's like, that's what comedy was. It was like telling stories, you know, it was being personal, being funny and not even tell a story, but just being funny and giving an hour show is what it was. And sometimes that goes away and I think it goes away with everything. I think we have too many,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With social media, you have too many people that think they have an audience and think that people want to hear them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they just kind of throw everything out. And that bleeds in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To everything, everything we see with journalism, with, it's hard to get to where you can't really trust anybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he can't, people ask, like I was reading articles, people ask for sources, this is what we talked about yesterday. They, they, they ask, they're just asked for sources. The guy, some guy will write an article at Washington Post or something, or whatever. I'm not trying to don't, if someone's like, well they lie, it doesn't even matter. Whatever you're reading, that's not what it's about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's the about the first comment that's go, what's your sources? Asking a newspaper that. And I know that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, yes, you do need to switch, but that seems kind of insane to me. Like, it's just a guy. You're a guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With 10 people following you on Twitter and you get to ask, what's your source? So everybody, that guy now thinks why I'm the guy that asks sources. I make sure. And you want to go, man, the sources might be in the article. I don't think you're reading the article. No one's honest with it if they don't read something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just be honest, just go, you know what? I didn't read it. I read just the headlines. My entire emotion with everything is headlines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only reading the hater. Just be, if, you know what we can learn from that last guy, Brad. That. Be that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want to say something crazy, then come back and either say, I was right, I think you've made a mistake, or come back and say I was wrong, this is actually kind of interesting. Do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like you can't just ask everybody, you know, I mean journalists I think do stuff wrong too, but I think comments too, like that's crazy to me. Read the article.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go find the sources if you want to find, like, I think the officers should put sources, and I think, you know, they usually do, but it's, it's, uh, there's something with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The idea that everybody, you know, I don't know, when you used to read the, hear the news growing up,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just had to take, it is what it was, you know, it was like, it was on TV. You listened to them and that's the news you got. It wasn't all these people diving in, you know, not to be on some big long rant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, I mean, that I was, that's what I'm trying to do. The idea of the joke, the Alexa thing is just so you guys can know. I don't think, cause I don't think this can be, I don't think this will be my new hour. Maybe cause I might not do it with comedy again for four years, but, uh, that's the, I love the idea of talking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People, they, I think it goes to, cause you're, you're just talking like you're a king.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just can put out people on our social media, just like, what's your favorite Lady Gaga songs? Go! You just tell them, who are you telling them to go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then just people are like, ah, let me go. Like, just a regular person says that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got to go to the store. What kind of bread do you guys like? Go! And then just, like, you think people, you're owed a response? Didn't you say your favor is when no one gives them the answer? Seeing no one, when someone asks for something,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the internet like that, and then no one responds. It's one of my favorite things. One, I mean, just remarkable to just see it to be like, favorite diet sodas, go! And then just, I mean, not a view. That guy just, and so like, if he gets no comments,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're like, how many of these have you put out? Yeah. And nobody responded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody, you know, you know what too, that being said, when I said everybody is trying to be famous, we're also in a world where everybody can become famous very quickly. And you know, it is true with social media. I mean, the way people, the cancel idea where they cancel everybody and people get fired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just regular people getting fired, like, you know, for saying something like that. That's so in a world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody's gotta be careful. It's, it's, it's a very tricky balance right now. So, I, you know, one thing we talked about,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With being, like, the way the future's gonna be, like, obviously you gotta work with social media and I think social media is bad. Like, it's awful. It's gonna be the problem. But, you know, more people work from home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now with COVID, I mean, are you going to the office at all? Is there any reason to go to the office? I mean, I know people, some of my neighbors that all have jobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, obviously we don't have jobs. None of us have real jobs, but the ones that have real jobs, I mean, they even missed a beat. Most of them can work from home just as easy. And I don't think they're ever going, you know, why are they going to go back? Why would you even open that back up? Like, it's really showing people that you're like, yeah, it doesn't really matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You said before this one, just 4% of Americans work from home. And once the pandemic kicked in, an MIT study, this is the source, found that 34% of Americans were working from home. Here's another thing with these, these, uh, I mean, we're going to have a lot of those facts and I like that data, but it is like from an MIT study. What study? Who are you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's crazy for people to ask for sources. They're just regular people. I think people should ask for sources, but I think there should be a chain of command. That's what I mean. I think it can't be just like a homeless person yelling from the street, where's your sources? Like, there's gotta be some structure. And so with social media, there is no structure and there should be some kind of balance. And just, there's, you know, there's no balance in a lot of ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, oh, who should he, he should, yes, the chain of command. A first time homeowner. First time homeowner, yeaah. Goes into... Who has wifi. He tweets at his parents. Yeaah. And then his parents tweet at... His parents know a guy. One of the assistants at the newspaper. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The stats though on it, we're about to read a bunch of stats and stuff, but it is very, I always think it's very funny to be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Polling, like you're just like, I don't know how you could figure that out. If they say any, and I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, 50% of this is happening now. There's a trend that's going now that 80%, you're like, dude, how, how on earth do you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel that you think the people that can do polls represent America. I mean honestly, like you're technically don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, but I mean, you know, it's interesting, like the person that can go do these polls, that wants to go do it, I don't think it's a person that has three kids and they're working two jobs, those people are not doing these polls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like, I would argue that it doesn't represent America at all. Like, cause who?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, most people that have kids are going to be too busy. They can't, you know, they don't have time to go do this stuff. I'll take a survey from a cardiovascular show. I have nothing but the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but they do have time now, so maybe we're getting some real good polls. Uh, alright, bruh, I didn't know you did that, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm glad to know someone that did it. I mean, do one right now. Do one during the podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On everything! On the news! 34% of Americans are working from home!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you kidding me? And then it's a legit argument point and you trace it, but this is, this is the main thing that I'm talking about that I don't think people think about is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You then trace it back to you at midnight going, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, you know, and you're like, well, how many people are doing what you're doing for 10 bucks? You know what I mean? That's honestly what I'm talking about. Like I just don't know what I don't trust anybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't trust that anything's done in some certain way. And it is, it could go down. But I mean, look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I can't even believe they're asking us to do this and we can't blow this. We're tired of being a community college. We'd like to be a full on college. And we think this is the window to get in that. And I think we would take it serious and I would go help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody would go help and we would all drive to your houses. And we have the people that have the time. The people that go to community college, all in their forties, all...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually that would be pretty, a community college would be, cause it's, oh, it's going to be a lot of people in their forties. And it's going to be people that want to, uh, prove something. They got something to prove. Yeah. And that, and that one, like you, if you got my mom to go ask for, to go get questions from polls, my mom loves that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, wow. Yeaah. I mean, they would be like, how are we going to put it where, so you don't have to go Vol State Community College study. But I mean, that's, you know, yeaah, an MIT study.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just that we always say that Harvard study, MIT study, all like, you know, I had my joke of, or I have a joke about science being like, they say cockroaches are 300 million years old. It's like, how do they, no one knows. And that's kind of the point that it's with all this stuff is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tend to think that in everything we do, in any job, you're going to have a moment of whatever your task is where you kind of was like whatever, that's fine, just send it along. So I think that could happen with everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That happens in science. When the science is doing something, I'm sure there's a moment where the person's like, I don't, I gotta go, you know, and then they, uh, that's yeah. You know, where they almost got it narrowed down enough that then they go, it's 320, 320 million. Like they had it narrowed down to maybe 100, 1 million to a hundred million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're like 320, like that's-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] MIT, they got things to do. MIT, they're trying to get, they're trying to do better things. Ball State is just trying to get in the game. They're lucky to be there. They should do. I want all community college studies from now on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other thing we talk about, will Americans leave large cities for suburban rural towns? Uh, Americans are moving a lot, uh, to relocate to more sparsely populated areas. The trend has been accelerated by technology and shifting attitudes that make it easier to work from home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Residents of all ages and incomes are moving in record numbers to small towns. I, so I, that's what I, I think is gonna happen. Uh, I moved, it was a, you know, when I, when I left, I lived in Chicago for two years, New York for nine, LA for two years. And then I moved back home. I'm, I'm, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I loved all my moves, I loved all the moving, uh, when I'm, New York, I, you know, when I started coming to Chicago,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was amazing. A lot of great comics. I mean, I was there with Hannibal, Pete Olms. And then I moved to New York. I starred Pete Olms. Have you ever seen Crashing? His show on HBO? That's exactly how I started. I barked with Pete at that club. He's the one that got me barking. Hanging out flyers at the comedy club was barking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And becoming a comic in New York has completely made me the comic who I am today. I mean, I think the best comics are in New York City, hands down. The greatest come out of there. Uh, the guys that, the guys that you don't, maybe you wouldn't even know are better than everybody else. It's top to bottom. There's no one better than the comics in New York.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I consider myself a New York comic. I was there the most. That's where I kind of learned how to do comedy. And so that helped. And then I moved LA, which a little, just a little side note. This is the advice I, for when I moved LA to tell, it's great advice. Uh, Jerry Wintraub, he was a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna say he was Elvis' manager, somebody who's a big producer, produces all the Ocean's 11, 12 movies and all this crazy stuff. Big Hollywood guy, I think died a few years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he's, I was reading his book. In his book, he said, uh, he was, he was living in New York and moved LA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was comfortable in New York. I was there for almost nine years. I was getting on stage every night and I knew that if I needed, I needed to put myself in a situation I wasn't comfortable in, that's going to make me work harder. And when I moved to LA, I was, you know, I remember one night in LA, I was supposed to open for Burr at


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was like, I have no show and I'm at an open mic 10 years into my career, whatever it is. And so I was like, all right, this is uncomfortable. And then it made me go and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and, and just start working more. And so like, if you ever need advice, you're ever stuck in, and that's something that I think you take in every regular day, any, any job you have at all. If you, if you realize, you know what, I'm super comfortable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's time to make a change. You need to challenge yourself. If you're trying to grow awesome, you could be just wanting to live comfortably. Then stay in it. If you have a good thing going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see it happening again. I know where I still wanna be. I know where I still wanna go for. I know what I still wanna go do. I think about that a lot. When will I know? I think you just know. I think you go...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm good. I don't, it's not like it's a certain amount of money. It's not like there's this thing, there's, it's, it's career wise. I know what I want. I know what I'm planning and I, I think of it like that. And I think I will, I don't think I'll ever stop doing standup. I bet I could take some long breaks, you know, but I could see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think these next 10 years, I'm going to be just going after it. Like just, you know, once we get going and just trying to do as much as I can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I'm hoping to get to a point, and I think I'll feel it. I think you'll know, like, you'll just get to, and be like, I feel good. You know, it's, I think, it's when you don't feel like you have to, you're not trying to compete with anybody, I think. You know, like, you get to think with Seinfeld. Seinfeld's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they're like, can I go on? They're like, absolutely. Happy to have you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To happen. So it's like, I think if you get to that point, then you can maybe sit and you're not as like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not as like pant, you're not like, I gotta keep doing something, I gotta try to describe and get to this next level. And you start like losing that. I think when you start, stop feeling that, then that's, you know when you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I, I don't think with comedy, I don't think I'll ever start doing stand up. How did you know though when it was time to move from LA to Nashville?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was, LA to Nashville was, I was starting to tour a lot. I wasn't really being, I wasn't in Los Angeles. And I, I, I do always think it was one of the, you know, first unselfish things I did for my family. It was, was to move back to Nashville. You know, me moving, I've been my wife before I started comedy. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we got married, uh, I moved to Chicago and we were long distance, New York long distance and we got married. She moved to New York and then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been, we had Harper's born at the end of New York and then we then moved LA. And so moving home was the first thing that was like, Oh, let me do something, you know, not saying I'm essentially doing it completely for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was like, that was, that was an aspect of it. To be, I was starting to tour a lot. I needed, she can be home and have her families near here. My family's here. So they're not alone. I'm not just leaving them alone in Los Angeles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's essentially what the thing was. But when I moved back here...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, first I didn't tell anybody. Cause I was, I thought people would think I quit comedy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I would move back to Nashville. So when I first moved back, I didn't tell anybody. Roy Scovel, whose birthday is, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe August 6th, which I don't know if the day this comes out or not. But, or day after, so happy birthday Rory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Rory, I, uh, I told him once, I was thinking about moving and I was like, I don't know if I would tell anybody. He's like, if you ever moved, don't tell me and let me see if I can guess. And so I moved. I was living in Nashville for three months. He comes to Nashville. I was like, Hey, I'm in town too. I was like, I'll come pick you up and we'll go eat. And I went and picked him up and just drove him to my house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was like, I've been here for three months and he had no idea. And cause I realized you could move. I mean, there's people that still think I live in New York and there's people did people that I just got an email. Someone asked me to do something because they think I live in LA and they still think I live there. So no one knows where you live anymore. And I learned as a comic, you know, me doing auditions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could do them from home. I don't ever get in these auditions anyway. So I realized that wasn't going to be my thing. I wasn't going to be an actor that auditions for a bunch of things. So I realized that. I think if you're, if you're trying to audition for a bunch of movies and TV shows and you actively need to do it, if I audition for something, it's because that person once is like, oh, I've seen this guy or, you know, it's like they're asking for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like they're, you know, it's like, I'm not just going like random part. Like I, you know, I did some of that and it was terrible. One of them I did the funny story. I remember me and Dan Soder, he was in LA. I'm driving to this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like for a commercial and, uh, I, uh, Dan's, I, we're, we're, I think I'm driving cause Dan was in town visiting, you know, like, and so he's going to a meeting and I'm going to this auditions, uh, where he's gonna drop me off and come back and get me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I, we're reading the lines and it's like, I'm doing the lines and you know, I'm like, alright, I got it, I got it. And we go in and we start doing the, I have, they printed a bio out that I made on a website.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, like, 2008 or something, like it was like from old MySpace. I don't know how they got the body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they start reading it and it's, the bios are just embarrassing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just, and it also lists like the things that I can do, my talents. And it was about being a standard. I said, I go, uh, I can do a Southern accent. By the way, I can, I can only do a Southern accent. I can't, I also can't not do this Southern accent. So I do a Southern accent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it said, what skills do you have? I said, I can, uh, run, I can walk, I can play basketball. Those are my, they were just the most basic, like any chance you're looking for a guy that can, uh, do a light jog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a southern accent? With a southern accent, yeaah. Can he, didn't he, can he not do the southern accent? No. No. He can, he's, you either get the southern accent or you're not getting it. And I did the lines and I couldn't remember them and it was so embarrassing. And they, when I got done, they, I finally made it through and they clapped for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good for you, man. You did it. And then I go, thank you. And they go, I mean, they're never going to call me. They were just, they were like, well, that guy worked through that and they were happy for me. It wasn't good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not being mean, it's like they think something's wrong with you and they're being like, hey, hey, you did good. That's how they, hey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's, yeaah, so I moved back here, I've been here for five years or something, and so I didn't tell anybody, and now I don't care, everybody, now people know, uh, and I've talked about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's been the best thing ever. I've missed, I don't think I've missed anything. I do wonder sometimes, alright, I'm not in LA, I'm not at the comic clubs and not doing whatever, that kind of thing. But where I'm at in my career, I kind of did all that stuff. I did all that stuff in New York.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's good for me to go back when I can and I can bounce around and do some shows and all that kind of stuff. But I do, I create much better on the road. Like doing an hour is a lot better for me now. Creating stuff, so that aspect of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would rather do a longer set now. I don't really go do a ton of sets around Nashville. Cause I don't, that desire is not as much, I get way more out of doing a full on set. Like to do an hour long set.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot more. But I think more people should move. I mean, I, you know, I told a bunch of comics, I was like, I think y'all should move to Nashville. We could, we could build a nice scene here. I mean, there's already a great scene here. And then just, there's, just keep it going. I mean, I don't know why people...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're, it's so expensive. New York is getting insane to live in the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think it was like $3,000 a month for a studio or something. Really? Oh yeaah. I mean, you could maybe get a room for cheaper than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I mean, who's going to want to live like that? I mean, especially now if you're four, I mean, you know, we have a neighborhood and you keep my kids or I have one kid, but my daughter and her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They run around in between neighbors houses, like it's like how we grew up. It's like you're, you're trying to find that kind of aspect. I also liked it as a comedy aspect of it too, to take myself out of the same situations for just coming up with your act.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coming up with jokes, I think if you're all living the same experience as comics, that's not- you're all gonna talk about the same things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so if you get out of, you need to kind of get away from it. Chad Daniels is someone else that's always lived in another place and Chad is super funny and Chad is someone that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything's a little different. Everything's a little, you know, and it's, I think it's honestly that a big part that plays into it is you're not, we're not at, you know, every joke's not about auditioning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or it's not about, you know, something that, you know, in New York is always about subways. Yeah. We'd always have everybody had it because you're all doing those things. Are there very New York centric jokes? And so sometimes you are, you're like, yeah, you need to get, you got to grow with your audience. You got to grow with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a stand up, you know, being married, have a kid, you got to move before I wasn't married, you know, then you, I get married and then you have a kid in the year, you know, your life becomes your act and whatever scenario you're in and you got to keep going forward with it. So it's, you know, I'm now living at least the most normal life I can live as a comedian is living in a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, where I drive, I go to the store, like every, like all of America, all of America drives to the store except New York and maybe parts of LA. Basically, maybe some, maybe some of the city and maybe most of the city, it's all of it. Except in Alaskan, most of America, but, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's, I mean, I think people are going to move to, you know, I'm curious to be in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 40 years, I mean, are the downtown, is New York even, is it a ghost town? Could it ever get to that point? Could, are they gonna price everybody out? Where, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, to live in New York, you would have to, if you make a million dollars a year, you're not, you can afford to live in New York.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you're not, you need to be single if you're gonna have a good time and you're still not rich.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think my wife, when we lived in New York, uh, the job she had, she got paid more just by moving to New York. But when we lived in California, when she worked at her job, uh, she gained just leaving the state taxes from her job, moving from California. Her job was, uh, always a wonderful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The people that worked there were great and they were very nice to her and they let her


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They let her, when we moved back to LA, they let her work in the LA office. And then we moved to Nashville, they let her work from home. They were always very, very nice. Cause I mean, she doesn't work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There now, she's the executive producer on this podcast, but she does, uh, but when she did, when she did all that stuff, that was, I mean, that's how, you know, if you, if you made a comment, that's insurance, all that, you know, we get everything. And so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she moved, uh, here and worked from home in Nashville, she made like four to five hundred dollars a month more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just moving to Nashville, same job, because of state income tax. Wow. Cause there's none in Nashville, in Tennessee, and it's in California. I mean, that's pretty crazy. 500 bucks, you know, roughly five, six grand extra a year, just by doing your job in Tennessee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So imagine companies that are actually


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Millions of dollars or something like that could be a million dollars. Like just if you, which is when companies are moving out of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well they, that's why a lot of them, they think go to Miami. That's why Miami Heat was a big place. Was Florida not have a state income tax? They said that's, uh, uh, Bryce Harper's big reason he didn't go to the Dodgers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is because I don't know for sure, but it was the state income tax. Cause I mean, yeah, his contracts will be $400 million and he's going to be given all this money back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. I think that's a big, that's a big reason that people do it. And so I think, yeah, people are going to start, you know, I mean, it's, they're happening, it's happening now. And so are they going to be?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's how expensive these places are. And then, I mean, Nashville is amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, you know, I, I, I love it. You know, when I first moved here, I thought, well if I had to have moved back, and then now after being here,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was, you know, I was like, yeah, I'll never not live here. Like I'll have a, you know, I'll, if you get to be super famous or something, you get a house here, you get one somewhere else, you know, who knows? But I would, I'm never going to not live here. I want my daughter to be raised here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I mean, I grew up here, so it helps, but no one's from here anymore. That's, you know, uh, me and Bates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like you just asked him the same questions that he just said. Oh, I don't understand anything Aaron said. I know, but that's why I was watching you say it in your, like you, the questions, I swear to you, you just asked him, he just stated all that stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He goes, I mean, I moved here and I was 12 years old and I'm 16 and 400 years and, uh, you know, I came, and then you go, so you, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He moved here when? You were, what'd you say? You go, when I was 16, you go, oh, about 12 years, so you moved. The guest, you just asked him to play. I'm not, I just was very funny to watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, I can see that you were doing that, which is good. Cause I think people, a lot of people were like, Oh, what did Aaron say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, next, uh, fun, I mean, yeah, hour and a half. Ah, 68. So I was, I was guessing an hour, I was off. Uh, this one's, uh, this one's gonna be, I wonder if people are gonna, we're still going, guys. We're not even close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I get it. You know, jump around. Uh, a little more fun topic I think maybe. Will we have self-driving cars? Researchers forecast that by 2025 we'll see approximately 8 million autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles on the road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elon Musk said on July 5th that Tesla is very close to achieving driving technology capable of navigating roads without any driver input.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost any city's bad. A car will take you there. Nashville's bad. Nashville's traffic's getting, uh, bad. It is bad. But they, you know, so it's, yeah, like, I mean, yeah, in LA, I mean, traffic's insanity, dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember driving in New York, you just don't drive, but I remember driving through, going to road gigs, New Jersey or something. You'd always have to go through the city. You had, you needed to be through the city about two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you'd always see that number go, you'd see that number, you know, it used to be like, just get through the city. I remember, I mean, out of New York, you could park in Times Square. You could just, I drove, you drive to Carolines on Broadway, which is right around Times Square now. You can't even park, drive over there now. And you could park in front of the Comedy Club.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, that, you know, that was 2008, seven, stuff like that. But you'd have to go to the city, you like, you need to be through about 2.30 or something. And now, I mean, I don't, I don't know if there is a time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it, you know, it might be one, you might have a window of eleven, you know, I don't know, eleven a.m. Like I feel like that's, you almost have to go at eleven a.m. anywhere. Cause then people are leaving for lunches now. Like lunch becomes a thing. So yea, traffic becomes everywhere in California. I mean, traffic's like nuts. I mean, it's nuts. I mean, people were in the cars for two, three hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's still gonna be longer. I mean, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, but you would, but you still could be like, well I wanna be home. I don't wanna, I don't wanna, you're spending two hours away from your family. Look, people like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get it, like people need breaks, you know, from our own families. You enjoy, I've definitely driven before where it's like, you want, you know, you're just happy to be alone. I've, you know, I'd, where do I drive one gig? Uh, St. Louis. Remember I rented a car and that was, I wanted to get away from, you know, who, uh, and they just go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but they, no, I drove that one. I wanted to drive home by myself. I needed like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I was like busy on the road. It wasn't like I needed a break from anybody. I just wanted to be alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I wanted, it was like a four hour drive and I was like, awesome. I'll just get a drive and be by myself. And you know, it's like sometimes you need that stuff. So yes, I'm, but you still don't want to spin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you know, I don't think you want to spend two hours in a car, even if it's self-driving. Yeah. After six months, you're going to be like, alright, I get it. You know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, but there's gonna be a point that you have a ton of cars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, it's still just a matter of, the person has to come on. So when new people are coming in, if all of them are driving perfectly sufficient where there's no, no one's getting over, no one can get over, no one can do any, cause now we gotta be all super involved. So this person needs to get off on exit four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that one, and then these, then these two cars are not getting off to exit 50.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, how's that person getting over to the exit four?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm saying, I don't think, in California, still if you have the most of those cars together, it's still gonna be slower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you will, you think there'll be, uh, gas stations or all our cars be electric?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're changing, guys. I'll tell you what they're doing. 2025, the Netherlands will only be selling electrified vehicles. Norie plans to do the same by 2030. I'll be honest with you, I'm not even really positive where either one of those places are at. Uh, but they're doing good things. If you told me to go to them right now, without a map.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would go, I would head, I would head above us. Am I correct?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, Bates has been, congrats by the way, congrats on the getting engaged. Thanks for giving him a shout out. Yeah. Appreciate it. Uh, nobody got invited to his wedding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had a pre, he had a pre-COVID wedding before COVID, same rules, but you wouldn't have come anyway.

[Assistant] I think I could, I think I was in town. Well, usually I'm not in town. You did a nice tiny family, right? Yeah. Aaron was there. These guys were here. About 200 people.

[Assistant] So Bates is the one that sets all this stuff up and he goes through and reads all this stuff. So if no one likes it, obviously, you know where to, uh, attack. No, I think he did an awesome job with all this. Will we have flying cars? That's, I didn't even thought, I think that's like a wish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, no one's gonna, you can't let all these people go fly up in the air. No dude. It's too free.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got a video, this is, so this is, this is happening. Uh, that's an animation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So no runway and you'd get in your car and you would just take off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, thanks. So Uber's working with, uh, Oh, it's like a helicopter. It's not even a plane. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just people just, I mean, drink, drinking and driving. I guess you would, it would be fly itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hopefully dude. That's like a, the way for that to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you gotta, that's gotta be flying itself because everybody can't get a pilot's license.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's when you're, no one's living in a city. Right, why would you? Why would you? But I mean, there's, it's, it's, you can't, people can't have their pilots, flying car, I can see them looking into it. I will be shocked if I see a flying car in my lifetime. Me too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, you know, like you let your kid drive, steal your wheel. And, uh, so I always do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I, I like driving and so I would want her to drive. I want her to learn how to drive stick shift. I like that kind of stuff. The, the people you're going to have to get rid of is, is like us, the people that grew up with this kind of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know that I still want to stick shift, so I'm still, there's still enough me's floating around that have kids that want to train their kids to do this kind of thing. You're going to have to get me removed from me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A couple and then you're not going to, but I could see, I could see people. So I think, you know, when I see some of this 22 now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they use Uber, I mean, it's nothing to them. They use Uber as a regular, like they don't care. It's not, you know, I still feel kind of, I don't love it. Like, you know, it's like a car, it feels kind of weird. Like I still feel, I don't know, it's just not, I don't go to it as easy as I think a 22 year old does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't, they think, no, oh yeaah, I'll be over there, I'm gonna get a new, like, they think of it as their car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gotta be really be in and to then affect all this country. So I think the, yeah, I mean, I could see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My daughter's, you know, maybe she didn't want to have a car. I mean, she has a car because I want her to have one, but like that would be it. She would never use it. People are just doing Uber and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't need your parents to take you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's pretty crazy. I mean, that, yeah, I mean, you just get an Uber to drop your, yeah, they don't, I mean, it doesn't matter. So parents are like, oh, I don't got to buy you a car. I just, you know, here's your an Uber account, order Ubers whenever you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, wow. So yea, I bet that is going to change. People are not going to want to buy their kids a car. And you don't want your kid driving, like kids, you almost


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could do it out of pure safety to be like, kids don't know how to not look at their phone. You ever drive, when you drive and you see people look at their phone, it's nuts. It's nuts, dude. I'll be next to someone and I'm going to have a wreck because I can't, I'm looking at them so much because I can't believe how long they don't look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just, I mean, I've seen, I know guys that watch movies. They just, they use their driving time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't pretend. This is, this is what we're talking about. Don't just, don't pretend that you're not doing this and at least put the phone, at least put it mount or put it up higher. It's at least go for the safest. This is, this is not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least commit to it, dude. Like, you're gonna, look, you're doing it. You're not doing it. It's not like you're not doing it. And whatever you're telling us, I had to-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many drinks did you have last night? Uh, two? Three? Like, it's gonna be more. It's never gonna be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yea, but those tests, you still have to, you gotta drive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's no, I don't think, I mean, they, they detects, that's the thing with the Tesla, is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not, you don't just, I don't think it's, it works self driving in traffic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, but you have to keep your eyes on the road. You have to touch the steering wheel. There's all that kind of stuff. So you can only do it, you know, if your car drives for a second without, and then it's like, put your hands on the steering wheel and then you got to grab the steering wheel. So you're not really self driving. It's almost like annoying because you can never really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think they can legally let anybody do it. Like, I mean, it's, because there's just too many variables. I think that's what they're trying to get to. But I think it's, cause I asked them, I was like, can it drive on its own? And it was, you know, I mean, maybe it can go, I don't know. I don't think it's full on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean I can see half the cars doing that. Half of the new cars purchased probably. I think owning it, the owning it is what I don't think. I don't think these people are going to own it. I'm saying half the new cars, yea, half new cars built I think will have all that stuff and that's where it's all going. But I don't think, to turn over a city, I think takes longer than 10 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, people have cars for more than 10 years. My car is 10 years old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To think about that, like, where AI, I mean, you know, this is, this is, if people don't know, Bates is your futurist. Is that the word?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, do we want, do we want that? I don't know. I was thinking about that even last night. I was thinking like, would you want to live forever? Is it, is it worth?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, just even, you know, obviously the religious aspects of it, that's going to come into play for most people is just, you know, are you, that's kind of crazy. Are you like, who are you to decide that you want to live forever? If you believe in God, if you're religious and in all forms of religion, uh, everybody that believes in a higher power, I can't imagine that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna be a fan of living for it. Like, I just can't, like, that doesn't go with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, but, I mean, didn't buy why everybody lived to be 100.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish we hadn't done that. They, yeah, I mean, but if you're, if you're healthy and can keep going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then why not? I mean, you know, but if you're, if you're not healthy or if you're, you're broke or if you have, there's a mini. Oh, that's true. Maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, would look at you as the problem. Like you're in the way. Like you're, you're going, well let me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me type in this thing here. It's like, I don't need you to type it in. I got it. Yeah. And then he, the machine, instead of the machine just goes like, Hey man, it meets with the other robots and goes, you know, they're in their, they're in their coffee break, their oil break. Cause they get oil and you just sit there and you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think we need these humans anymore. And then one of them goes, are you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I want to, that's their, that's their racist talk. He talks to me like he's a king. That's their racist talk. Yeah. Yeah. He talks down to me. This thing just tells me to, can you, I mean, that's so funny to think of a robot, how mad a robot would just be. Imagine your phone, just if your phone could talk, cause he just yells at me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, stuff you should know, it's never, you know, it's never a good question, when was Dave, when was Dave, how old is Dave Matthews?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you crazy? Why would anybody ever want to know that? How does that propel you as a human? It's setting you backwards. And I would think a computer thinks every question we ask sets us backwards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because most questions you would ask are about the past. It's always, when you ask a computer something, it's never a, it's never a future. It's like, how can I work out better? How can I live longer? How can I learn more things? It's, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's remarkable how much they don't know. Their smartest are some of the stupidest people I've ever. That's what a computer would look at is the smartest human beings we can produce on are just a waste of skin. I'm starting to be on the machines.
