Speaker 3 Are you rolling already?

Speaker 2 Over.

Speaker 3 We already did it. I guess we're waiting for the star.

Speaker 2 It's a fucking 20 minutes. How are you, Will? Good to see you.

Speaker 2 I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 How are you?

Speaker 2 Shake his fucking hand. Sorry.

Speaker 2 It was a fucking parking lot. A goddamn five.

Speaker 2 Is that what happened to you, Chad?

Speaker 2 Where do you live last time? I live in West Hollywood.

Speaker 3 It was about a 45-minute drive. You know what I do is never leave 15 minutes or less for anything that I have to be there.

Speaker 2 That's insane. Chad has spoken candidly before the show about how often that you're late.
Yeah, it's true. And he...
had some choice words. Yeah.
And I won't say them on the show.

Speaker 2 It also hurts people. It hurts people's feelings.
It's true. I know.

Speaker 2 It does.

Speaker 2 It's like spitting in somebody's face, I think. Yeah.

Speaker 3 It used to hurt my feelings.

Speaker 2 No, no, no, no, no, that's what I'm used to.

Speaker 4 We've been in this relationship for so long.

Speaker 2 It's just part of it now. Well, I don't know if I go that far.
You want to welcome our guests onto the show and introduce them to the fans?

Speaker 2 One of those freewheeling shows. It's just like, here we just go.
Hey, man, it's just raw. You know what I mean? It's whatever happens.

Speaker 2 You know what?

Speaker 2 I don't know what kind of game you're playing right now, but yes.

Speaker 2 Yes. It's a freewheeler.

At Dudesy Pod Show on all your socials.

Speaker 2 Of course, check us out on YouTube, Spotify, Apple iTunes, Spotify, Tuesday, wherever you get your podcast. Hey, I'm sitting across from a couple of really good friends here in the podcast world.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I know. There's nothing funnier than being meta and making fun of a thing you do.
You guys.

Speaker 2 Hey, everybody. Yeah.

Speaker 2 What am I, a podcast guy?

Speaker 2 Hey, you know what I'm saying? Literally. You know what I started doing?

Speaker 2 I like when people we make fun of podcasts, like, oh, it's so lame. It's the thing we do.
Yeah, right. So this is on apologies.

Speaker 2 I'm sitting over here. You're sitting over over there.
That color, this wall, that color, that wall.

Speaker 2 Hey, logo. Looks like us.
Kind of doesn't, kind of does. Hey, Ram, Ram, Ramble.
You put the chopper thing into the glass. Chris Rock.
Yep. He's good.
That is good. Chris Rock.

Speaker 2 I thought it was Denzel at first. Yeah.
Yeah. But that's definitely Chris Rock.
Let me hear. Do another Chris Rock? Does it have to be a black?

Speaker 2 Put the drink into the drink and get sleepy.

Speaker 2 Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi.
Is that Nancy Pelosi? I know it is. Yeah, yeah.
Listen,

Speaker 2 we have two people here. One guy I've known since 2000.
So probably 22 years. Something like that.
Yeah, man. 23 years.
And the other guy I just met, but I've been a FARF fan.

Speaker 2 You guys have never met.

Speaker 2 We've never met. I don't think I.
Well, I went up to him. I go, have we met before? And he goes, no.
I know you like squirrels. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 They like me is more accurate, I think.

Speaker 2 Why do you think you have a magnet for squirrels?

Speaker 3 I don't know. One just started coming around my place.
She became like a pet. She would come in every day.
I'd photograph her compulsively. And I kind of trained her to be like a little cat.

Speaker 3 She would sit on my couch. I could pet her, watch TV with her.
And then eventually she started having broods of children in this nest immediately outside my bedroom window.

Speaker 3 And I'd wake up every morning, open the fucking windows, give her some nuts. She'd come out, stretch her legs, and leave me to like care for her newborn infants.

Speaker 3 And I'd get all these weird pictures and videos and stuff.

Speaker 2 Basically, yeah.

Speaker 3 I don't really want to ever have a pet. I'm not into death.

Speaker 2 Then don't watch Alone because this season of Alone, they're just eating squirrels, all of them, every fucking day.

Speaker 2 And I can't watch this show because I love squirrels so much. Me too.
I will. Thank you for that recommendation.

Speaker 3 I will not watch that show. Yeah, yeah.
It's such a good show.

Speaker 2 It's such a great show. They put these renegade, outdoorsy people in the middle of fucking nowhere to almost noity kind of thing.

Speaker 2 They document it themselves.

Speaker 2 They give them film equipment. It's always in like northern.

Speaker 2 You're from Canada. I'm from Northern, yeah.
Yeah, northern Canada, right?

Speaker 2 And it's

Speaker 2 they get 10 items. Yeah.
Right?

Speaker 2 And it's whoever's the last man standing. Can you see?

Speaker 2 Why is the one standing? These people die? No. No, no.
They tap out. They all die.
No, there's two ways. No, there's two ways.
Medical, they have to medically remove you or you tap out.

Speaker 2 So Jesus Christ. Every week they come by to see how you're doing.
And if they think you're going to die, they remove you. They test your vitals.

Speaker 2 And a lot of times they're like, you're borderline about to die. And people are like, no, I can do it.
And they're like, you will die tonight in the middle of the night.

Speaker 2 And they fight them all the way because they win a million dollars if they go to the end. Yeah.
Oh, okay. Like, there's one girl that had her whole foot was blue and black.

Speaker 2 She literally was like, you're going to lose your foot. She was like, take it off.

Speaker 2 From what's it called? Frostbite. Frostbite.
I'm going to call it wet foot.

Speaker 2 That's the medical term. Yeah,

Speaker 2 the medical term is wet. The medical term is wetfoot.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 I see here. You got wetfoot, boy.
But they're eating so many cute things. Birds.
Season nine.

Speaker 2 They're eating fucking otters. Oh, oh, they're so cute.
You don't eat in the otter.

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah. What does the otter even taste taste like? It tastes cute.
It tastes like a cute colour. Yeah, it probably tastes cute.

Speaker 2 Don't taste so adorable. It'd be a first-time taste sensation, and then you wouldn't feel so hot about it.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I can understand if a squirrel is up. I'll kick otters and squirrels up against a tree and eat it.
Yeah, and they just kill. Yeah, so don't watch if you love squirrels.

Speaker 3 I won't. I do love squirrels.
Would you mind if

Speaker 2 you have kids? No.

Speaker 2 Wife? No. Okay.

Speaker 2 In a survivalist situation, let's suppose, because we believe that global warming's here and not going to warm up. I believe it.
Yeah. Yeah, I believe it.
We're believers of the global global warming.

Speaker 2 That's right, right? Hey, since when are you so afraid of summer, Lib?

Speaker 2 Nice one, dude.

Speaker 2 You fuck. I love it.
But anyway, and let's suppose. Hey, yo, summer's hot.

Speaker 2 Give it up. Yeah, whatever.
Yeah. Just cut your shorts shorter.
Yeah. Oh, I like the duality between you two.
Yeah, you know, it's a real kind of thing. You do the other opposite thing.

Speaker 2 You're the right-wing guy. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, that's what I adopted. Yeah, yeah.
It's sort of a new spin on the

Speaker 2 bear.

Speaker 2 Not as long as I talk this loud. Huck don't talk to me and infrared friends.
About ask permission in. I take no on bad friends guests.
He's a bad guest.

Speaker 3 This is what it's like to do a podcast with him, by the way.

Speaker 2 Every time we've seen

Speaker 2 it, focus on me. Okay.
See, the thing is, we're both suit white nationalists. So we don't have a lot of people.
No, I applied to the oath keepers. They said no.
Why did they say no? I don't know.

Speaker 2 I'm a sons of Liberty.

Speaker 2 I'm trying to get into Patriot Front right now.

Speaker 2 They just march. And they hang out in vans together.
I like that. You love vans.

Speaker 2 Until they got, dude, taught in the the U-Haul. We're fine.
Yeah. Joe DeRosa took me to the American Legion Hall on Hollywood and Highland, just north on Highland.

Speaker 2 And then he said, you too can be a member here. All you have to be is the descendant of someone that fought.
And I was like, no shit, that's all it is.

Speaker 2 He's like, yeah, they're called the Sons of Liberty. And immediately I was like, this is QAnon.
This is Q-Anon. Yeah, yeah.
This is QAnon.

Speaker 3 Definitely, you don't want anybody being able to Google Sons of Liberty.

Speaker 2 I was in on it until he was like, no, just Sons of Liberty. Not that.

Speaker 3 I was like, oh, no, no, the door closed.

Speaker 2 I was like, never mind. This is.
Do you believe the Patriot Front did a march in the middle of downtown Boston like three weeks ago? Really? What's the Patriot Front? They're like a

Speaker 2 white nationalist.

Speaker 2 Okay, we're our own group, first of all.

Speaker 2 We don't, we're our own thing. Yeah, it was two and a half weeks ago.
We were in Boston. Yeah, and they were marching, and it's like, I'm just saying that.

Speaker 2 They're a white nationalist, neo-fascist, hate group. And hate is such a strong word.
We don't hate anything. We're talking in a real box.
We're patriots.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and you guys have medical benefits, don't you? We sure do.

Speaker 2 We have PPOs.

Speaker 2 If I'm a black trans person, can I get in your group?

Speaker 2 You have to go through the process like everybody else. Which is why

Speaker 2 we take you out back and we flog you, and we tell you, we ask you if Donald Trump is your Lord and Savior.

Speaker 2 And you've just got to answer a few small questions, and that's it. And we pull down your pants and see what's going on and do the opposite of that.
We have a doctor in-house.

Speaker 2 We just go to

Speaker 2 Boston Irish. That's the Patriots.
Irish.

Speaker 2 Oh, my God. Is that really? That was at the march? Yeah.
Oh, my God. How sad.
That's bro. But what I'm saying is that if they did that in L.A., do you think that there'd be more chaos? Because

Speaker 2 nothing happened. They were just, people just let it happen.
I bet you this has happened in Los Angeles, and we never heard about it. Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 I think in Hawthorne or something, this went down and nobody knew.

Speaker 3 The night before the 2016 election, I was at Hollywood and Highlands seeing a movie with some friends.

Speaker 3 We came out onto Hollywood Boulevard there, and there was a convoy of pickup trucks full of pro-Trump supporters with banners, people dressed like the Statue of Liberty with their arm around people dressed like Donald Trump and shit.

Speaker 3 And I was like, what the fuck is this? This is in the heart of Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 Wow. This is happening.
But Hollywood is

Speaker 2 kind of its own world.

Speaker 3 Totally. It's a little Wild West, a little Mad Max.

Speaker 2 It's kind of when someone goes, we go to New York, and if you went to Times Square, it's not New York. There's no New Yorkers there.
Right. So

Speaker 2 Hollywood and Times Square are kind of like

Speaker 2 zoned areas. Locals aren't there, right? So, I mean, you have tourists on Hollywood Boulevard going, oh, well, I'm relight.
You know what I mean? But that's not real, authentic LA.

Speaker 2 I mean, go to Crenshaw, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 What do you think is the most authentic L.A.?

Speaker 2 Watts. You think that's the most authentic Los Angeles?

Speaker 2 There's Watts and then Beverly Hills. That's all.

Speaker 2 That's a good cross-section. So I would say the most authentic L.A.
would be like East Los Angeles. Me too.
That's very LA as well. Like Mexico.
Loses. Yeah, Mexican.
Mexico.

Speaker 2 Alhamdulillah, you're talking about. Alhambra's you guys, though.
There's a lot of Asians out that way. I hate when you say that.
What do you mean? You guys.

Speaker 2 What does that mean? Well, if there's four different kinds of people in this room and you're one of the other group. There's four of us.
Right. Why are you making yourself out to be different? Yeah.

Speaker 2 No, I didn't. How about this? I said you guys.

Speaker 2 I didn't say you guys. How about this? We both have very colorful hats.
There you go. There's two people.
We have fun hats. Okay, but now, let me ask you something.
Now what happens?

Speaker 2 Now I'm being singled out for having a silly hat. I'm the only man in the silly hat club, and I'm comfortable.
Okay, I'll put it back on. That's fine with me.
I'll put it back on.

Speaker 2 Do whatever you want. That's what Andrew's trying to tell you.
That's all I'm trying to say. Can I go back to chat about the apology? So anyway, Will.

Speaker 2 Thank you, Will. So anyway, it's a good thing.
Hey, it's global warming apologies. Absolutely.

Speaker 2 So, please, please, please. No, no.
There's no grocery stores. You're hungry.
It's been two weeks. You haven't eaten anything, right? No electricity.
It's chaos. People are dying.
Yep.

Speaker 3 Would you eat the scrolls then? No, man. I became vegan about four years ago after some health shit.
I don't think I can ever eat an animal again.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he's really. You really led him down a wrong path.
Yeah, that backfired. I'm sorry, dude.

Speaker 2 I think you would when you're hungry. I don't think so.

Speaker 2 Oh, so you'll rather die?

Speaker 3 Yeah, I think so. What?

Speaker 2 He's vegan. He doesn't want to eat animals.

Speaker 2 At the end of the day, your instinct is to survive. And I think you would...
The hunger would affect your...

Speaker 3 Maybe. You might be right.
I think I would be more likely or more inclined to kill and eat a person than I would an animal.

Speaker 2 I was just going to ask you that. That's a good thing.
You're human over animal, huh? Yeah. What kind of person?

Speaker 2 You can eat all the Hambra people? Yeah. Alhambra.
That's right.

Speaker 2 Well, that's right. I'd go to Alhambra.
You're rich and

Speaker 2 you're lipid. You're rich in fat.
I mean, that would be.

Speaker 2 I'm saying you'd want someone not muscly.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Well, hold on a second.
You can really boil down that. They like to boil down those sinews and tendons, and they're actually very tasty.
The way you make them. Maybe.
All right.

Speaker 2 So it wouldn't matter how wiry you are.

Speaker 2 I'm just saying, you know, there's some guys, so the Olympic athletes among you. Yeah.
I'm just saying you have an Olympic team. Hey, can I ask you a question?

Speaker 2 You guys got an Olympic team? Who's you guys? USA? Yeah.

Speaker 2 The USA, we do have an Olympic team. All right.
USA, he says. Or let me ask you this, another question then, Chad.
There's a lot of questions on this show.

Speaker 2 All right, let me ask you another question, Chad. Yeah.
No, you don't have to say it like that. I will.
Okay, so

Speaker 2 because I'm being bullied. Just for you.

Speaker 2 I'm being bullied, and I'm being cornered, and I'm going to fight back. I'm going to set a boundary.
Who's bullying you? You guys. Who's you guys? Are you talking about? The whites? Alhambra guys?

Speaker 2 The whites? Alhambra guys? Yeah. So my point is, is this.
Hey, Hey, what are you talking about? I'm Italian.

Speaker 2 Right? Chad. That's the new kingdom.
I might.

Speaker 2 If you had to eat two,

Speaker 2 would you rather, would you eat Will first or me?

Speaker 3 Well, I mean, obviously Will, yeah.

Speaker 2 Me, yeah. There you go.
Because that's more meat. Right.
That's less.

Speaker 3 A single kill would yield a larger meat.

Speaker 2 Now, would you eat me or Bobby?

Speaker 3 I think I'd probably have to go with size too. You're bigger, right?

Speaker 2 Yeah, I'm bigger than him. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So would you, okay, how about the two, the two booth, do both bullets?

Speaker 3 We'd line everybody up in a row, and I just put a bullet in the biggest and go down the row.

Speaker 2 So the little

Speaker 2 person eating.

Speaker 2 Chad, would you eat a person who is a vegan but has a butt implant?

Speaker 3 Look, I think, honestly, if it gets so fucking apocalyptic that I'm having to choose between which person to kill and eat, maybe I just starve to death.

Speaker 2 You know what I mean? I don't know. I would just

Speaker 2 go. You eat the fucking squirrels, Chad.
I don't think. I don't think I could do it.
I sincerely don't think I could.

Speaker 2 I can't wait to forget how to speak English or whatever language anyone speaks for that matter and just roam the earth, just pooing, smelling bad, eating people. Okay.

Speaker 2 This is a dream that you have.

Speaker 2 For now. Oh, my God.
For now.

Speaker 2 Tell me this. How do you think? Are you a man who wants to kill with his hands? It's the only way to do it.
You love hand. What about you?

Speaker 2 Well, I believe in gun. I don't really want to kill anyone in any capacity.
Dude, you have to. We're post-apocalyptic.

Speaker 2 It's melting in London. But I'm going, gun.

Speaker 3 I'm going with just a gun. You're going with gun.

Speaker 2 You're going to get a bullet to the skull.

Speaker 3 I like it. As humane as possible, quick as possible.

Speaker 2 Gun hands. Well, the bullets are going to be hard to come by.

Speaker 2 Ah, they're going to stop making bullets.

Speaker 3 That's why I've started stalking up.

Speaker 2 By the way, I did see you at Gun World before this. That's right.

Speaker 3 I go to every fucking gun show. I don't like killing people, but I'm prepared to.

Speaker 2 But I have to. What would you do? What weapon would you use to kill? Same as Chad, but I wouldn't do it mercifully.
Oh, fuck.

Speaker 2 I shoot the foot first so they bleed out.

Speaker 2 Wait, that's more painful.

Speaker 2 That's what I'm talking about. Oh, you want the pain? Oh, yeah, yeah.
Why would you want to inflict pain just to survive? Because I want them to just look at me for a while.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but also, don't you people eat the feet? You You know, I always see them on a menu with you guys.

Speaker 2 Sorry, everybody. I feel bullied again.
Hey, I want to speak directly to your audience and say it's really good to be here on Bad Friends. Come check out Dudesy.

Speaker 2 It's a podcast. What? You already did it.
Oh, okay. Sorry.
I don't know when we start. This is the disadvantage of telling you when we tell your guests when we start.

Speaker 2 On Dudesy, we have an AI telling us, begin the podcast now, talk about this now, talk about that now.

Speaker 2 So I know you and me, Bobby, we go way back in the world of comedy where I would improvise everything. That's not the new comedy.
The new comedy is listen to a computer

Speaker 2 and do exactly what it says. Okay, let's do this.
You guys are our AI.

Speaker 2 You guys are our AI, and then you guys give us a topic.

Speaker 2 What is that? What are you punching over there?

Speaker 2 That's a computer. Yeah, it's the fucking.

Speaker 2 Sometimes I don't know.

Speaker 2 Can I do it? Yeah, please. Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 Is that a phone ringing on the computer? It's the

Speaker 2 rotary phone. Rotary phone.
Oh, sure.

Speaker 2 Enter. Right? Yeah.
You don't have to say it if you hit it.

Speaker 2 I know. I just want to.
Okay. Thanks.
This is a very like space.

Speaker 2 1980s War Games movie movie version of how a computer would sound. Bing!

Speaker 3 January 6th Commission.

Speaker 2 Oh my God. Oh, let's get into it.

Speaker 2 Let's get right into it.

Speaker 2 Let's get right into it.

Speaker 2 Thank you, Carlos. Yeah, yeah.
I want to do it for a different one, different topic. Is your AI this good?

Speaker 2 Go ahead. Enter a new topic.

Speaker 2 The new Jurassic Park movie that came out to rent on Tuesday. Okay.

Speaker 2 Did you see it? I did not. Did you guys see it? Is it the Chris Pratt? Is Chris Pratt still doing it? Yeah.
Good.

Speaker 3 I didn't see it, but I can say this. Movies are dead.
They are culturally completely irrelevant. Yes.

Speaker 3 And even a movie that's big like that. Even Top Gun, let's say.
That was like the biggest movie of the last however many whatevers, right? Yeah. Came and went.
No one gives a shit.

Speaker 3 You see two things come through your Google news. Oh my God, it's Tom Cruise's highest grossing movie ever.
Don't care. What's next? What's on Netflix? Movies are dead.

Speaker 2 One guy who wrote movies. $1.25 billion.
He's currently writing one. $1.25 billion is kind of irrefutable.
People are watching it. You're saying they're not retaining any of the joy from it.

Speaker 2 It was like in and out of it. Why is it the joy?

Speaker 3 It has no cultural significance, no cultural relevance.

Speaker 3 I sincerely think the last culturally relevant movie or the last artistically relevant movie was The Room, Tommy Waizo, early 2000s.

Speaker 3 After that, once we became a movie-going audience that knows the ins and outs of movies so well that we can look at a movie like that and be entertained by how, in quotes, bad it is, how off the fucking normal beaten path it is, nothing else matters after that.

Speaker 3 And now, because we have so much media on all these streaming platforms, a movie has, what, a week or two to have any significance?

Speaker 2 Wow. I mean this when I say this.
I agree. I want to do psychedelics with you.

Speaker 2 I'm in. I swear to God.
Yeah, you are.

Speaker 2 You and I can sit for hours and talk. Please.
And I can hear it. The way you, your cadence and your sureness, I'm like, I got to do drugs.
Do it. I have to do it.
I'm literally.

Speaker 2 I will relapse to do it with you guys as well. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
I'm not sure.

Speaker 2 You will do this. Me too.
I'm dead serious. This is all.
I'd like to do mushrooms for you.

Speaker 2 I know you're not part of their club. Nobody invited you to that.
Andrew said, if you want to sign up for the Irish 3%,

Speaker 2 whatever this is, the Sons of Liberty. The Sons of Liberty, keep us on with it.
Sons of Liberty. Keep us an Irish.

Speaker 3 Are you one of us? Are you not one of us?

Speaker 2 Make the decision now, boy.

Speaker 2 No,

Speaker 2 you eat this entire boiled potato. Dude, how did you get it? I watched the first episode of this.

Speaker 3 And that is what made me decide, fuck it. I've never done LSD.
I've done mushrooms a couple of times. I've never done any real hard drugs per se, but I watched that and I was like, I got to do LSD.

Speaker 2 Acid is cool. I'm more inclined to doing mushrooms again.

Speaker 2 I like mushrooms a lot more. Acid was a little, for me, was a little too intense.

Speaker 2 I did it a few times and I was like, this is fucking really heavy. Yeah,

Speaker 2 it felt digital. Red? Excuse me.
Yeah, baby. Can I ask you something? Yeah, of course, sweetheart.

Speaker 2 But why would you need to do a psychedelics with him when the thing that he said was you already were absorbed in the middle of the day?

Speaker 2 Okay, before you came in the room when you and I got into a fight.

Speaker 2 What are you going to get more out of being in a psychedelic? Because psychedelics, I think, open another fucking little chamber of the mind. He just opens your mind.
No. Without psychedelics.
Bobby.

Speaker 2 Am I not right? All right. No, no, no.
No, no, no. You're right.
Thank you.

Speaker 2 I enjoyed his banter, and I thought, I bet you him and I would have really good, deep conversations on

Speaker 2 Bobby. You know, look, you guys are both right.
On one hand, Chad is psychedelics.

Speaker 2 On the other hand, hey, man, that'd be a lot of fun. Now, let me tell you something.
I've done mushrooms one and a half times.

Speaker 2 One time I did it, it wasn't so fun at all because I was outside, got lost in a park in Vancouver with my fiancé. I was like, why the fuck do we do it this way?

Speaker 2 Ended up back at the thing, and you got to be inside and someone you trust. Sounds good.

Speaker 2 You guys don't know each other, but I know both of you, so I'd like to nominate that I'm there. When are we doing some shroomies? Can't wait for my.
See, this is great.

Speaker 2 And you can, we'll tape it, and you'll see it.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you can watch it by yourself later.

Speaker 2 You know what it feels like? What does it feel like? Stop Asian hate. That's what it feels like.
Yeah, we're six months ago. This show is stopping Asian hate.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No.

Speaker 2 No, we've stopped you because of the show. You're doing Asian hate.
I'm stopping it. Oh, I'm doing Asian hate? All three of you are.
In what way?

Speaker 2 You're excluding me from activities. How? By saying that I have to watch a tape of you guys partying? You're sober.

Speaker 2 We gave you a trophy when you kicked the habit. Yeah, I said I was willing to relapse to do the fucking thing, man.
This says, Bobby Lee, kick the habit. 2022.
It's done. You're sober now.

Speaker 2 Tell me more, Chad. Let me tell you more.
Tell me more, Chad.

Speaker 2 Hey, you two bad friends. Let me be your good friend and let you know you're both right.
See, okay? Because we're both right. Andrew's right because he gave you a nice trophy.

Speaker 2 He didn't want you to kick the habit. And I'll sit here and tell you, on behalf of the vegan sitting next to me, shroomies are just mushrooms.

Speaker 2 Liquid IV. I don't like water, but I love liquid IV in water.
I like liquid IV inside of water because it makes it better than water, because water is not.

Speaker 2 The hot summer months are here, Andrew, and we need to be proactive about keeping our bodies fueled and hydrated. Making hydration priority can help us feel healthier in our everyday lives.

Speaker 2 One stick of liquid IV in 16 ounces of water hydrates you two times faster and more efficiently than water alone. That's right.

Speaker 2 Plus, liquid IV products taste great with 10 refreshing flavors like Conquered Grape, Lemon Lime, Piña Galada, and Tropical Punch. Sounds like summer, doesn't it? Yeah, what does it contain?

Speaker 2 That many people ask me about that with liquid IV. People always say, Bob, what is it? What is it? I'll tell you what it contains, man.
What? Five essential vitamins. B3, B5, B6, B12.
Hold on.

Speaker 2 There's no vitamin C in there, is there? And

Speaker 2 vitamin C. Amazing.
Three times the electrolytes of traditional sports drinks are major premium ingredients. It's non-GMO, free from gluten, dairy, and soy.
Let me tell you something.

Speaker 2 Me and Bob love this jazz. I like throwing it in my water because water gets boring after a while, and liquid IV makes it taste good.

May I ask you a question then? Sure.

Speaker 2 Because I know that Andrew and I have a longing to be in movies and TV on.

Speaker 2 You know, we like it, right?

Speaker 2 Yeah. But it's like, do you think we're just throwing it away? Like, because.
No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 I don't think it's like that you should stop doing it. I'm still fucking writing TV shows and movies and books and whatever.
Books are a little different, I guess. But it's just about screens.

Speaker 3 You want your face and whatever you're doing, your creative work to be on as many screens as you can possibly have.

Speaker 3 Movies just aren't as important as they used to be. They're still going to be made.

Speaker 3 They're going to be churned out because all these streaming networks, there's over 200 of them now, have to have a constant volume of shit to keep people engaged enough to pay $7.99 a month or whatever.

Speaker 3 So they're going to need the movies. They just aren't like what they used to be.

Speaker 2 What's going to separate the class of all of the muck from the thing that breaks out then?

Speaker 3 Well, eventually, it's going to be AI procedurally generated media. No, it won't.
Yeah, it will.

Speaker 2 Humanity. And we argue about this all the time.
No, it will. It's already happening.
You're not replacing the artist, though. You can call it art if you like.
It's already happening.

Speaker 3 Have you guys seen any of the AI image generation tools?

Speaker 2 Yeah, well, yes, it's fucking

Speaker 2 crazy.

Speaker 3 So OpenAI is going to release DALL-E, the full version, for a monthly fee in the next month.

Speaker 3 Graphic designers, gone. That job's gone.

Speaker 3 Storyboard artists, gone. And eventually, these things are going to filter their way into being able to make full video based on scripts they write.

Speaker 3 You're basically going to be able to ask your phone at one point, hey, Netflix, give me a new season of Game of Thrones, and it will make it.

Speaker 3 And you can tell them to put whatever actors you want in it, or create new actors. Eventually, deep fixed.

Speaker 2 Guess what, Chad? Yeah. The AI can't create

Speaker 2 soul. That's right.
I think it can.

Speaker 2 The human soul. But on the second hand, you say

Speaker 2 soul.

Speaker 2 You don't believe in soul. Not soul Korea.
I meant the other soul. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 You thought I meant Soul Korea to get him Korean? No, I didn't know. I was like, of course I can make South Korea.
That's actually easily real. That's the human soul.
I meant the human soul.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I know what you meant. No, thank you.
Thank you.

Speaker 2 I I don't think, like, you still think I mean souls. I still think you mean school.
Let me ask you this.

Speaker 3 Do you think Disney executives who are making billions of dollars a year for a giant corporate greed machine are creating soul?

Speaker 2 They did do that movie Soul, which actually looks quite good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's actually quite good. No, you're right.
You're right.

Speaker 2 You know what I mean? I don't give a fuck. The root of it is capitalism.
But what I'm saying is it's a great movie. Disney and Pixar.
Great movie. And Eric Riffin was amazing in that.

Speaker 2 You know what I mean? And I love that they name it in Scale. Oh, that's Eric.
Yeah, that's Eric.

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah, yeah. They griff.

Speaker 2 So, um, what I'm at, no, what I'm saying is that that too, in terms of, because you're saying that the D, they would generate, you know what I mean, artificial actors, right?

Speaker 2 And don't you think that people can read because even when I see what? He doesn't, he doesn't believe that.

Speaker 3 We're so close to crossing the Uncanny Valley. You're looking at Carrie Fisher coming back from the dead in Star Wars, Paul Walker coming back from the dead in Fast and Furious, whatever.

Speaker 2 Yeah, James Dean.

Speaker 3 We're there now. Within 10 years, I think The Rock is going to be in every movie.
He's just going to license his fucking face.

Speaker 3 And if you write movies, you're going to have to write a rock character for your fucking movie.

Speaker 3 And they're just going to be like, hey, Rock, can we pay $200,000 to CGI your face over this fucking movie?

Speaker 2 Well, we have him here. The Rock, would you want to do that? Is that...

Speaker 2 I would love to do that. Me and my friend Kevin Hart will be in every movie moving forward from 2024 on after I'm inaugurated in 2025.

Speaker 2 So Rock, how much, are you still selling your tequila? Tremana.

Speaker 2 I love Tremanna. Do you drink it often?

Speaker 2 I pull the agave right out of the ground and I make Tremana in a form-fitting button-down shirt so that you can go, I'm working really. Look at my shirt, I got a blue sweat.

Speaker 2 Look, he just said there was barrels.

Speaker 2 Tramana.

Speaker 2 What comes in those barrels? The rock?

Speaker 2 Tequila's not in those barrels, is it? That's human growth.

Speaker 2 And that's how we make the tramana. It's in the barrels of the HGH, right?

Speaker 2 The HGA in every bottle of Tramana.

Speaker 2 That's what makes the Tramana taste like Tramana. If I have low tea, low tea, low low tramana, then should I have some?

Speaker 2 That's what low tea is. It's low tramana.

Speaker 2 Get on the tea.

Speaker 2 The tramana. Tramana.

Speaker 2 I like it when you do it. I don't want to do it.
Tramana. Tramana.

Speaker 2 Dude, that's it. Kevin Hart and I are going to smack each other in the face with tortillas.
And the kids are going to do it. But you better not smack me too hard, bitch.
Tramana.

Speaker 2 Because of you, Will, because of that from your show, I have accidentally done that in public. Said Tremanna?

Speaker 2 Yeah, because in the middle of someone talking, like, oh, I kind of want tequila, and I'm like, Tremano.

Speaker 2 Because of you. And people are like, what? And I'm like, nothing, nothing, nothing.

Speaker 2 I love The Rock. I love Hulk.
Yeah, we do. Yeah, we have.

Speaker 2 I don't know if you knew that, Chat. What about Hulk Hogan? I love Hulk Hogan.
Let me tell you all about him. Oh, shit.
Clock spinning.

Speaker 2 When we were in Florida, didn't you see him? I went to his bar for a minute and said hello. I hadn't seen him in many years.
We did a movie together. That's right.
Bobby and I did a movie together.

Speaker 2 A month and a half ago. Yeah, something like that.
That's good and weird all the time. Thank you so much for coming out to do that.
Oh, wow. Is it ever? Bobby, did you have a good time?

Speaker 2 We were on the set. We were in an

Speaker 2 hotel was near the airport, and there was no restaurants near it.

Speaker 2 You know what I mean? But other than that, you went there, right? Yeah, yeah. I went to a place called Hogan's Hangout.
Did you see him? Yeah, yeah, I saw him for a minute. Yeah, I saw him.

Speaker 2 Was that in there?

Speaker 3 That Hulk Hogan statue?

Speaker 2 There was all sorts of swag. Is he there every day? He's there on Mondays.
He does a karaoke night. Did he recognize you?

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah. He was like, yeah, hey, it's that guy.
But we've talked.

Speaker 2 He's been conscious of me, which is very odd. I've met him a few times way back in the day when we were, remember we were doing all that Mad TV stuff and wrestling and this and that?

Speaker 2 And then in some years after that, but I hadn't seen him in well over a decade at this point. Anyway, good memories.
Not too many chair shots to the head for him. It was back in the 80s, brother.

Speaker 2 They didn't do that whole bleeding and chair shot thing, dude. They just, you know, just put a hand to the ear in front of the crowd, brother.
Get him worked up.

Speaker 2 And another guy who knows how to do that is The Rock, brother. I passed in the Taurus Resume resume 18.

Speaker 2 Let me tell you this about the rock. I love the rock.
I didn't know that it was called Terramana. I thought it was called Tremana.
And that's why I like to say Tremana. And now it's stuck.

Speaker 2 But I like it because we're giving it our own spin. And if you join us in the Sons of Liberty, we'll teach you how to say some secret words that nobody else knows.
And you and your orange hat.

Speaker 2 We'll turn you Irish in no time, Bobby.

Speaker 2 What do you say? You've already got the name for it, Bobby. You've already got the name for it.
Bobby.

Speaker 2 Bobby McLean. You've already got the name for it.
So, Bobby and I have working impressions for

Speaker 2 you. I want to do more Irish.
Teach me Irish.

Speaker 2 This is how you say, this is how you fool anybody. Ready? Yeah.
You got to use the H's. Andrew will tell you this.
No, you've got to say.

Speaker 2 Heim Irish.

Speaker 2 Somehow, more Asian for some reason. No, because you're looking at my face.
No, no, no. Close your eyes.
Close my eyes. Close your eyes.
Okay, everybody, close their eyes. Do it again.
Do it again.

Speaker 2 Heim Heyrisch. Ham Heirosch.
Heim Heyrish. Yep.
Do it again.

Speaker 2 Okay. Do you remember we did this on the show already? And I taught you the words.
Yeah, but you don't know how to do it. He knows how to teach me.
Oh, okay. You're right.
I think he's better.

Speaker 2 We teach each other. I taught him.

Speaker 2 I taught him all you have to do is say Conor McGregor. Okay.
Connor McGregor. Connor McGregor.
It's Connor McGregor. There's almost no way to not say his name Irish.
Chad, you do it.

Speaker 3 Conor McGregor. See?

Speaker 2 Yeah, Conor McGregor. It's almost impossible.
Say Conor McGregor without the accent. Connor McGregor.
It sounds like it's Connor McGregor. No.
Here's the name McGregor. It's Conor McGregor.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but do you see what he does at the end? Hold Hold it a D, right? You gotta go up. So anything you say.

Speaker 2 John, you want a sixth commission?

Speaker 2 Anything you say.

Speaker 2 Give me a different accent then.

Speaker 2 Like Scottish.

Speaker 2 Okay, Scottish.

Speaker 2 I want to be like

Speaker 2 a sixth permission. William

Speaker 2 William Wallace. You knew a bit about Wallace.
Yeah, so give me a William Wallace. Yeah, don't use any vowels.
Just go say William Wallace without any vowels in a gruff voice. What are the vowels?

Speaker 2 Okay, William. Oh, tell him a vowel.
William.

Speaker 2 William Warlord. I'm your uncle.
I'm your uncle.

Speaker 2 I'm your uncle. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm your uncle Wallace. Yeah, what did you do? That was a very tabby.

Speaker 2 Is that William Wallace right there? That was a very good Chinese Scott described as pillar of community order to leave Scotland by home office. He was kicked out of Scotland, this poor Chinese man.

Speaker 2 Yeah. What? He seems to be one of the few Chinese people there.
See, you know how fucked up that is? I thought he was Scott.

Speaker 2 The moment I looked at him, I thought that's a Scottish man if I've ever seen one.

Speaker 2 And that man was removed. I thought that was William Wallace.

Speaker 2 How does he say his name? Go ahead. William Wallace.
There it is. That's William Wallace right there.
And he's showing you, I have an Irish or a Scottish citizenship, huh? Yeah.

Speaker 2 And they bullied him out. Go ahead.
See, guys, we're not so bad here in the United States. Over there in the UK, let's do Asian wise.

Speaker 2 Everyone has an Asian accent now.

Speaker 2 The tar is melting off of their roofs in the UK. Chad, so you think that it's obsolete? Right? Only culturally.
Culturally obsolete.

Speaker 3 Not financially. It's still a big part of the business, obviously.
But basically, like making a movie now is just an episode of a TV show.

Speaker 2 But let me actually say that. You think then AIs

Speaker 2 will replace podcasting? Oh, for sure.

Speaker 2 They're doing that. That's what we're doing.

Speaker 2 You're still coming up with it. You're still.
No. No.
The AI tells us what to do. As an example, the AI, have you heard of Hulk Hogan, the wrestler?

Speaker 2 So anyway, the AI will write news stories and say, you know, news podcasts are very popular. We'll read these news stories in the voice of Hulk Hogan.
But can't you?

Speaker 2 But they don't tell you something about the UK, brother.

Speaker 2 They don't know humor. Yes, dude.

Speaker 3 This ai is funny this writes are funny theirs is very and it makes us do weird shit like it'll give us at the end of every episode it gives us like little assignments like you have to go watch uh running man and the next week you're gonna have to talk about it sometimes like it made us one time each of us had to create a song and bring it in we played the songs our whole audience then voted on which one was the best and the loser got shamed we didn't know what the fuck that was until the a is like the ai was like now the loser has to dress up as the crow like full crow cause value it was so good well and so Will has to dress as the crow.

Speaker 2 So I dressed up as the crow because the AI was picking up on the fact that we kept talking about the crow.

Speaker 2 For some reason, we're like, yeah, the crow. And we made this weird assimilation between the crow and Batman.
And then Dudsy did. It's all very weird.

Speaker 2 Before the Batman came out and so-and-so looks like the crow. And at any rate, it made me dress up like the crow.
That's kind of funny.

Speaker 3 Sometimes it makes us smoke weed before episodes, like get as high as possible.

Speaker 2 Come on down, Andrew. It's about you, though.
What about live comedy shows? It'll work the same. It'll just be.
You think in 10 years,

Speaker 2 that'll be obsolete, too? It'll just be more like that.

Speaker 3 I don't think it'll be obsolete. I think it'll be like

Speaker 3 telephone or whatever the telephone fucking becomes. Can you make me a new Richard Pryor special? And it will just make one where he's talking about contemporary events.

Speaker 2 You could probably go, you could go, hey. Oh, so depressing.
You'll go, hey, Netflix, show me Richard Pryor telling jokes about abortion.

Speaker 2 Fucking Gen 6, whatever. And then it'll fucking go,

Speaker 2 and then you'll see Richard Pryor

Speaker 2 doing those jokes about that. Aaron Weber, who I've talked about on the show, good comic.

Speaker 2 He just promoted a,

Speaker 2 there is a brand new app or program where you can, it generates art. You can just ask it anything, and it'll generate all this original fucking artwork.
Yeah, that's Dali. Dolly.
Dolly.

Speaker 2 That's what I'm doing. Well, there's a bunch.

Speaker 3 There's Imogen. Google has one.

Speaker 2 But do Dali. I think that's the one.
I think that's the one.

Speaker 3 How do you spell that? I'm so scared of it.

Speaker 2 D-A-L-L-E. Yeah.
D-A-L-E-2. And we're done.

Speaker 2 Let me finish this. So this Dali thing, so you have to sign up for them to be, right? Like, they put you.

Speaker 3 The full Dali version is in beta right now, but they're going to put it out very soon for a monthly chart.

Speaker 2 So, he was selected by one of these groups. Like, you have to, you put your name in the hat to be like, hey, I want to be a part of the test group.

Speaker 2 And he just got assigned because he put it up on Instagram and was like, yo, ask me anything. That's awesome.
And people, every fucking image, the creepiest part to me was

Speaker 2 someone would go,

Speaker 2 Darth Vader eating soup, right?

Speaker 2 You can go a million ways.

Speaker 2 The visual of Darth Ader eating soup changed so many different formats and ways that I was like, I don't know if a human could come up with this if they took a hundred.

Speaker 2 It was creepy as fuck.

Speaker 3 An image is just a series, it's like a brick of pixels. Each pixel is a little square that has a numerical value of light to dark and red, green, blue.

Speaker 3 So to create every image possible to be generated is possible. We just don't have the computing power yet.

Speaker 3 But with quantum computing around the corner, I think that's going to exist within the next 15 years or so. Fuck.
Just a giant database of literally every image.

Speaker 2 So, okay, look, a text will just scroll down a little bit. Down a little bit, please.
Look. A storefront that has the word OpenEye written on it.
That's it.

Speaker 2 And then these are all generated from a computer. None of that is real.
None of those pictures are real.

Speaker 3 Well, I mean, I'm sure you guys have seen the AI-generated people that now exist, right? Like ad companies use and stuff. They're not real people, but they look photorealistic.
They're videos.

Speaker 3 You can just type in what you want them to say, and they're like, hello, welcome to our company.

Speaker 2 And they look like perfect mixed rules.

Speaker 2 Those are AIs.

Speaker 3 Those are all fake people and this is again this is the wheel eventually there's gonna be a fucking ferrari you know we're we're just at the tip of the iceberg of this shit how come the sex dolls still look so bad

Speaker 2 they look so fucked they look they always look there was a man yeah so do the guy

Speaker 2 there was a guy that just got a divorce from his wife so he could marry his sex doll yeah nice and she said it's because they made it look too much like her like they sent in her photos and he wanted her over the

Speaker 2 but she still looks like shit they don't look good yet how do we have all this power they're going to look at this here there is this the guy he he married my married his robot sex called margo is that yeah that's it

Speaker 2 but but honestly they still look like shit you know why i think it's still because there's there's still too much stigma Over big fake tits and skinny waist and big buttons.

Speaker 3 Male looking, female looking, whatever kind of sex robot you might want. I think there's still too much stigma around this.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but eventually that's going to fucking

Speaker 3 bleed off. It's like online dating.
You remember when online dating first fucking happened and people were like, oh, how'd you guys meet?

Speaker 2 It was at a friend's party, right?

Speaker 3 Like, nobody would say they met online anyway. Now it's the primary way everyone meets.

Speaker 2 If I had a wedding and I was marrying a...

Speaker 2 Listen, let's just listen, all right? The answer is yeah. And you would come to me.
I would officiate. Yeah.
I would officiate. Everyone will come to that wedding.
Would you make fun of me? Of course.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Well, that's the whole point of the going.
I'm an official. It's real love.

Speaker 2 I know. All right? I don't want to be fucking mocked at my own wedding.
I would make fun of you if you married a human. What would be the difference? Oh, that's true.
Yeah, there'd be zero difference.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think I would invite you to my wedding. Would you guys mock me at my wedding?

Speaker 3 Absolutely not. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Would you come down with this shit? Will you deep down inside? You'd be like, this is not real. Will, would you mock him at his wedding?

Speaker 2 Yeah, no.

Speaker 2 So, what?

Speaker 2 You know, I'd give you guys a gift of a bunch of car batteries or something.

Speaker 2 That's mocking. That's fun.

Speaker 2 Well, because my wife loves that. Look, look,

Speaker 2 there they are together.

Speaker 2 This ain't real. Yeah, oh, yeah.
And he dresses her up, which is even more fun. That's amazing.
So he goes shopping often for her clothes. He's just going viral.

Speaker 3 That guy is fucking. Let's say, I mean, we don't know this man, but let's say this man is happy doing this.
He probably is.

Speaker 2 What's fucking wrong with you? Nothing at all. My comment was how they still look kind of.
That still looks like a toy. Yeah.
Sure. Why can't we make it look real, real?

Speaker 3 I mean, I think that's coming, but also this kind of an aesthetic is its own thing. I mean, if you look at like what's going on right now with Gen Z and you mean he wants to fuck a doll?

Speaker 2 Is that what you're saying? What's that? Like he prefers a physical doll. Yeah, yeah.
In the next generation. the most realistic sex doll.

Speaker 3 Kids are going to be fucking things that look like anime characters and unicorns and whatever.

Speaker 2 You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 It looks pretty real. I guess.
Yeah. The answer for impersonal sex is not in, you know, crude rubber, you know, robots and stuff.
That's not where we're headed.

Speaker 2 As chat will tell you, it's the metaverse. So, you know,

Speaker 2 you put on your oculus, right? And you put something on your penis, right? Yeah.

Speaker 2 I think, though. What do they call it when it touches back? Haptic feedback.
Haptic feedback. So the best kind of haptic feedback is what you do is you

Speaker 2 I like to grab the ass. Well this my solution

Speaker 2 my solution

Speaker 2 would have that sleeve and all you have to do is grab it is put on the oculus and then

Speaker 2 you know insert yourself into a

Speaker 2 sexual partner. Okay.
Hold on a second.

Speaker 2 You keep the oculus on but you have sex

Speaker 2 With a person, and then, you know, you can kind of believe whatever that is. As a matter of fact, it would probably help a lot of marriages.
Let's put our Oculus on. Who are you having sex with?

Speaker 2 Well, you don't ask. You don't, you just, you let them all do it.
Because then it's like we're both having our fantasy then. Right.

Speaker 3 And the Oculus is like, this past week, an experiment was just done with the first AR contact lens.

Speaker 3 So instead of wearing like Google Glass or whatever, you just put in contacts and I get a full heads-up display of everybody's vital stats and

Speaker 2 that huge over here. Yeah.

Speaker 3 And that eventually is going to become VR.

Speaker 2 You're close.

Speaker 3 That contact will be, you can switch between AR and VR and the emotional.

Speaker 2 Now, Check, I can ask you, is this gay? Let me ask you, if something's gay, right? Oh, I don't know why you're asking me. This is my favorite segment of Bad Friends.
We do so every fucking week.

Speaker 2 So if I have the little thing on my penis, right? Well, maybe they have it. And they have that haptic.
You don't insert it into your urethra. It's something that goes around your penis.

Speaker 2 I understand that. I'm not going to stick it inside my body.
You just said I stick it on my penis. On it.
Not in it. Sorry.

Speaker 2 It doesn't go on the tip. Unless that's on your penis around the penis, right?

Speaker 2 And I have the thing on my head, right? But then I asked Chad, can I touch your ass? Would that be considered gay?

Speaker 2 Why is he in the room? What? I'm just going to keep my freebie. Like, I'm an ass guy.
I like his ass. I'm not gay.
But I want to do the, I'm going to, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 I'm making love to, you know what I mean? Okay, I'm one of your best friends. That hurts.
I would not do you. Why? Because you would laugh.
I would. Yeah, you would.
Yeah, I would hear you laugh.

Speaker 2 Okay, how about this? If I put tape over my mouth and I promised I wouldn't laugh, the only way I would let you grab my ass while you were in VR is if you weren't jerking off at the same time.

Speaker 2 I don't want you tugging and grabbing my ass. No, I'm not touching your dick.
I have the haptic on my penis. And you're grabbing my ass.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and I have the thing, so I'm making love to a woman in the fucking thing. I think that's fine.
I'll let you do that. But I'll tell you why I wouldn't use you.

Speaker 2 Because I would feel like I was going to be rushed. What do you mean? I just feel like you have shit to do.
I got stuff going on. Yeah,

Speaker 2 and I feel like after like 10 minutes, I'd be like, I just feel like he has an audition. You know what I mean? It would be in my head.
It would fuck me up. But I worried about it.
He would finish.

Speaker 2 Why? What would you do? It's just something about him. He's busy.
I would finish. I think you would stand there because you're a nice guy.
You would stand there.

Speaker 2 I'll let you finish. Well, he would probably come over to set it up for you because he knows all that geeky stuff.
Yeah, yeah. But Andrew would be with him because they're doing shrooms together.

Speaker 2 That's right. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And then Chad's on the other side of the room, you know, going boop, boop, beep, boop, boop, boop, beep, trying to set up your

Speaker 2 fucking haplic penis,

Speaker 2 urethra insertion.

Speaker 2 And you'd be grabbing Andrew's ass in the meantime because you don't know. You're in the metaverse.

Speaker 2 It's just like we said. Don't ask, don't tell me.

Speaker 2 A guy last night, I'm not kidding,

Speaker 2 me and Fahim and Ali Makovsky were sitting eating a piece of pizza and a guy overheard our conversation and knew that we were comedians.

Speaker 2 And then out of nowhere was basically just like, sorry to interrupt an eavesdropper heard you guys are comics uh what do you guys know about comedy in the metaverse and i was like look i don't i don't first of all don't

Speaker 2 don't just talk to us out it was so fucking uncomfortable

Speaker 2 eating pizza and you're like you and you obviously have listened to our whole conversation yeah but then he was like and then fahim actually engaged with a guy and was like yeah well i did shows on zoom uh oh but everybody hated it and he was like i do think comedy is going to live heavily in the metaverse and i was like i highly doubt it he's like you don't know what you're talking about and i said here's the deal.

Speaker 2 We do this for a living. Performance stuff, though, like beyond what we were talking about before, live performance where it's immediate feedback, I don't think has any space in this world.
Agreed.

Speaker 2 I just don't think it'll ever live there. I'll tell you this.

Speaker 3 Have you guys done any VR?

Speaker 2 Yeah. Oh, yeah.
I have Oculus at home. As do I.
Have you watched any basketball games? Yeah. Yes.
I have. What'd you think of that?

Speaker 2 Look, dude, I'm an avid sports fan. Okay.
So I'm maybe the wrong audience. I don't, I want to, either I want to be there or it's in the background at my house.

Speaker 2 well I mean I want to physically be there it's it's not I can't that didn't work for me it just I know what you're saying it was amazing to watch yeah but I also the whole time because of my consciousness was like I'm still just in this bullshit watching this yeah Jack Nichols was not there right he was no he was he was oh he was here oh he was there

Speaker 2 but I think it's cool I just I just it's just there's something missing live performative things there's such a

Speaker 2 there's something that you need the physical energy and presence of humans that I don't think you'll ever be able to do with that thing. I agree with you.

Speaker 3 I don't think it's there yet. I think it will eventually get there.

Speaker 3 I think every kind of human experience will be replaced by something digital or at least a very close proximity or a close approximation of it.

Speaker 3 Close enough that you'll be like, well, fuck, I can't make it to that baseball game. Will I pay a dollar to fucking basically be there?

Speaker 2 That's worth it. I just think it still won't replace

Speaker 2 live

Speaker 2 crowd mentality. There's something about, I mean,

Speaker 2 have you been to the Grand Canyon? I talked about this with someone before. It's hard to articulate because I'm not intelligent enough, but truly, something happens in your brain when you see

Speaker 2 nature at its, and in wonder.

Speaker 2 I wish there was a way to describe it, but it does something physically to you. It's just a canyon.
That no matter how immersive you could get, you'd never be able to

Speaker 2 match it. Yeah, no.
Huh?

Speaker 2 It's a what? It's just a fucking canyon. This is the Bobby's World thing we talked about before.
You're so not present. It's a canyon.
It's a marvel. It's a wonderful.
I've seen canyons.

Speaker 2 I'm a canyon guy. Oh, you're a big canyon guy? I've been in canyons all over the world, man.
What canyons have you seen? I've been to a canyon in Thailand.

Speaker 2 Which one? I don't know what it's called, but I saw it. So you really enjoyed the time.
I'm just saying, when you see one canyon, you've seen them all. But this guy is perfect for 100%.

Speaker 2 He's good for the guy that just puts on the thing. It's like me saying, I saw a river.
It was amazing. Who gives a fuck? See, and he needs to see.

Speaker 2 I think there's still a little bit of immersion that isn't quite happening yet.

Speaker 3 You still have to put on this fucking chunky thing on your head. You still don't have 360 view.
It's still like the resolution's kind of shitty still. That's going to change.

Speaker 2 What about sporting events? Do you think sporting events? There's no way to do that because you...

Speaker 2 Where were you five minutes ago?

Speaker 2 Hang on. No, no, no, no, no.
Wait, wait.

Speaker 2 It's almost as if we just said that. No, no, no, no.
You saw a basketball game that was actually happening, right? Yeah, dude.

Speaker 2 No, I'm thinking CGI

Speaker 2 players. No, no, it was.
No, no, no. It was a real game.
Yeah. I watched a real basketball basketball game.
Right. That was really happening that I could turn on the TV and watch.
Yes. Right.

Speaker 2 What I'm saying is, is, can you...

Speaker 2 Those are real humans playing, right? Uh-huh. Are they going to ever...
Are those real humans going to be replaced by...

Speaker 2 Here's what I think is going to happen to sports. That's what I'm asking.

Speaker 3 Do you follow any esports? Just people playing video games as professional athletes?

Speaker 3 Yeah. You know what it is.
Yeah. So that's basically you're watching like this one is controlling it.
Sure, but you're also watching the thing they're controlling, which is a computer general.

Speaker 3 Like if you're watching Overwatch, you're watching the characters they're playing. You're watching watching the guy playing that character, but you're also watching those characters.

Speaker 3 I think what's going to happen to sports primarily with the advent of AR is that you're going to see it start merging into the sports.

Speaker 3 Already, you have things like in baseball, umpires blowing fucking perfect games on the last call of a game and shit. That happened a couple of years ago.
That's going to be fucking gone.

Speaker 2 So, I'm into that.

Speaker 3 Everything, cameras and everything. Basketball, people fucking flopping and shit, left and right, whoever.

Speaker 3 I mean, basketball to me is one of the most corrupted games by human error because the referees never know when it's a fatal.

Speaker 2 Well, the rules are also quite fringe. Soccer too is like that.
Soccer is like yeah, but what I'm saying is that there's no way a computer is going to determine who the winner is.

Speaker 2 No one will watch that. No, what do you mean? Like if there was a...

Speaker 2 They do that. They've been doing that for...
A computer-animated game. Every single

Speaker 2 game. Every game would have a randomized finish, a randomized result based on what happens during the game.
It's like any other experiment.

Speaker 2 The AI doesn't necessarily know what's going to happen at the end. Yeah.
And it's like characters.

Speaker 3 Do you follow Lil Michaela? Do you know her at all? No, but she's a computer-generated influencer.

Speaker 2 Oh, really? She doesn't exist.

Speaker 3 Just a full fucking computer-generated influencer.

Speaker 2 She's so creepy, dude.

Speaker 3 She's got a couple of million followers, I believe, on Instagram, gets brand deals left and right.

Speaker 2 Really?

Speaker 3 Will there be a time where we have a computer?

Speaker 2 Wait, wait, that girl.

Speaker 2 She's not real. No, wait, wait.
That picture's real. No, she's not real.
She doesn't exist. Okay, go down to the photo, the first photo.

Speaker 2 That's not a real person. It's a fake person.
That's correct. She gets a new single out.

Speaker 2 She just dropped. Oh, we're fucked.

Speaker 2 We've got to save her money. It's over.
We have to save her money. Well, we're both.
Well, God.

Speaker 2 It's over.

Speaker 2 You just told me to buy you a $6,000 sextile, and now I have to save my money. You got to pick a lane, Bobby.
Relax, listen, listen, listen.

Speaker 2 In the world I see, up in the northern, where I'm from, I'm going to buy a plot of land over an aquifer. You're all welcome up there.
Thank you. Bobby, we're going to have the urethra implant

Speaker 2 caps penned. Yeah.
They're going to write in your penis. You can put a fucking oculus over your face.

Speaker 2 You can pretend you're banging whichever NBA star you like with whatever kind of upturned Asian penis you like. Okay.

Speaker 2 You know, like not even a real, like, oh, it's Blake Griffin, but he's got this kind of, you know,

Speaker 2 and with the hook, like Andrew's talking about. My favorite.
Like Blake Griffin, Halley Berry's pussy. Right.

Speaker 2 Yeah, exactly. Blake Griffin with Halley Berry's pussy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You will be able to get that deliverance to your door within 24 hours, I think, within 10 years.

Speaker 2 I'm going to watch the AI movie called Bobby Lee the Movie. I'll be like, turn on Bobby Lee the movie.

Speaker 2 And just based on this conversation in five years, it's going to be the opening of the movie is Bobby coming in, like turning on the lights in his place, sitting down and go,

Speaker 2 like after a hard day, drops a briefcase for some reason and goes, Blake Griffin with Holly Berry's pussy. And RBG's RBG's breasts.
RBG's breaths. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 And then just a pen will insert into your breast. And Chun Yun Fat's eyes.
I like his eyes. Dude, this is a remake.

Speaker 3 This is the remake that Netflix will do starring you of Weird Science.

Speaker 2 Wow. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And how many people do you think will pay for that? Will that be will film have made its comeback by that? That won't matter because it'll take like

Speaker 3 taking any of this. There's no physical.

Speaker 2 Will anybody get paid anymore? Will there be any monetary stage? I don't know if you're going to go to Netflix. Yeah, the one person.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Wow. Good film.
All the money has to go to one person.

Speaker 2 So when is this going to happen?

Speaker 2 I would say.

Speaker 2 When is it going to happen?

Speaker 3 I think you're already starting to see.

Speaker 2 No, but when do I have to find a job? You're there now, buddy.

Speaker 3 No, I mean, I think you'll be okay. You'll probably be able to license yourself.

Speaker 2 into AI other shit.

Speaker 3 Like you want Bobby Lee in a movie and a TV show. They'll just send you a fucking check for whatever your rate is, and then you'll be in that movie or TV show.

Speaker 2 I don't think any of that. I got to say, I think

Speaker 2 I'm with the.

Speaker 2 That's already happening, dude. Bruce Willis was in a fucking cell phone commercial in Russia that he ain't in.

Speaker 3 He just licensed his face. Yeah.
That was it.

Speaker 2 And did they, they AI talk, made him talk?

Speaker 2 Can we do that? Bruce Willis commercial? Fucking Val Kilmer.

Speaker 3 You're talking about Top Gunn? They AI'd his whole fucking voice in Top Gun Maverick is not Val Kilmer's voice.

Speaker 2 By the way, that is an AI. Can I say side note? Definitely cried during that scene.
It wasn't even that strong of a scene, but I cried because I saw the guy.

Speaker 2 And then because I watched a documentary before that, and I was like, this is the saddest shit I think I've ever seen in my life. A hero who can't talk anymore.

Speaker 2 It was so, I kind of do wish, no shout at the people that made the film. I wish they made a little bit more of a meal out of that scene.

Speaker 3 In a way, made him sing or something.

Speaker 2 Well, they can dance very frankly.

Speaker 2 Wait, this is also.

Speaker 2 Let's see the Bruce Willis. That's Marshall.

Speaker 2 That's the guy who got kicked out of Ireland.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it looks fake. Yeah, it does look fake.

Speaker 2 That isn't the point of this. No, no, no, but I know what you're saying.

Speaker 2 It's as close as I think it could get, but yeah, that's fine. For now, you know,

Speaker 3 in the next five years, this shit is going to basically be perfected.

Speaker 2 Russian deep cake. She makes deep cakes.
No, we're just making it.

Speaker 2 All from the comfort of her own kitchen. Two girls, one cake.

Speaker 3 You guys have seen deep fake Tom Cruise on TikTok. That shit looks real in most of the world.
Wow, look at that.

Speaker 2 That guy is so good.

Speaker 3 His impersonation is unreal.

Speaker 2 It's uncanny. So good.
The witch? The Tom Cruise. Fake Tom Cruise.
I wish she had Bruce Williams face. I don't like her face.
Okay, all right.

Speaker 2 We're not going to do this.

Speaker 2 Shit got real.

Speaker 2 He does. If he decides he doesn't like your face, boy, oh boy, does he check out? Yeah, I check out.
He's a big time. I don't like your face guy.
My face guy for sure.

Speaker 2 I mean, that shit looks real. Yeah, that does pretty real.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I get that. I get it.

Speaker 3 And this, again, this is just some guy with a fucking TikTok account. He is a graphic designer, graphic artist, something like special effects guy.

Speaker 3 But like, imagine what a fucking billion-dollar studio is going to be able to do when they're like, we're just going to license the rock or license whoever.

Speaker 3 Actors aren't going to have to fucking show up anymore if they don't want to.

Speaker 2 All right,

Speaker 2 let me change a gear because I saw something on that

Speaker 2 Instagram that was kind of, that made me think about you. We talked about this off-air, and I do want to talk about it because it's fascinating.

Speaker 2 They had a relationship. So that girl,

Speaker 2 the fake AI that's on there, little whatever the fuck her name is, she has a relationship. They show her boyfriend and then they show like the storyline of her relationship with her boyfriend.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Because, you know, this is the youth now is telling their tales through Instagram. Is he real? No, my friend.
It's Shia LaBeouf. Yeah, this is all.

Speaker 2 I'll jog it. You haven't heard that Shia LaBeouf is dating Lil Michaela? Yeah.

Speaker 2 They broke up. They broke up.
Oh, they did. Miles Teller has taken her out on a couple of calls.

Speaker 2 Those two aren't real. That's right.

Speaker 2 Okay, all right.

Speaker 2 I'm with you. So, anyway, what I was saying was there's a story that's being created, obviously, for their relationship about when out to pasta.
It's like, it's, you know, whatever.

Speaker 2 And they're going to have them break up at some point. Sure.
Which brings me to this, what you were talking about with me about the Bachelor and the manipulation of the show.

Speaker 2 This is kind of where that same mindset is of like, you can create this entire world. People in the comments give a fuck.

Speaker 2 When they break up, it will be an outpouring of people being super upset and mad about two fake people that never dated.

Speaker 3 This is the world we live in now is dominated by parasocial relationships.

Speaker 3 That's relationships that we all have with celebrities or little Michaelas, whatever, where we're looking at them through a screen. They're looking back at us, but they don't know who the fuck we are.

Speaker 3 They're not really interacting with us, but we're being tricked on a sub-psychological level. This shit started really in the 40s and 50s with TV news anchors.

Speaker 3 They were like the first real parasocial relationships where they're talking to you through a screen and you're getting the response in your like lizard brain of like, that's my friend.

Speaker 3 They're looking right at me. They're really talking to me.

Speaker 2 Now it's all social media is that. Happy Aretha Pen.
So

Speaker 3 whether it's on this screen or your fucking TV screen or whatever, we're all engaged with so many different people through these parasocial lenses that we don't really have real relationships with.

Speaker 3 So it doesn't matter if they're real.

Speaker 2 He's living it right now because

Speaker 2 him and his girlfriend split up and publicly.

Speaker 2 And what's crazy about it is the reaction from the fans

Speaker 2 and the way that they talk about their relationship as if they know anything about it. But they do know a lot about it because they've been public.

Speaker 2 But the creepiest part is when you'll read stuff or someone will say something to you. Like,

Speaker 2 people know that we're best friends and people will come up to me and be like, strangers, how's Bobby? And I'm like, what do do you mean? And they're like, is he okay? Right.

Speaker 2 And then it clicks in my head. I'm like, oh my God, this guy is...
This is a genuine, he's genuinely concerned if Bobby's okay.

Speaker 2 And then he's like, let me tell you a little bit more about comedy in the metaverse. And you're like, get the fuck.

Speaker 2 This guy's back. Yeah, he just takes a piece of your pizza.
Dead line for me.

Speaker 2 You know, it has been weird. Like, because I, you know, this is the first time I've ever been

Speaker 2 breaking up with somebody that was also a, because people saw our relationship unfold

Speaker 2 on in the podcast like the bachelor dude like the bachelor and um i realized that i no longer ever want to do this again you don't want to be public in a relationship i'm never going to be a public i'm going to keep it sacred because it's been the kind of comments i'm getting and the messages it's just no they they cross the the line of course they do right and they're so intrusive right yeah and then there's an outpouring of love but what really you don't know the fuck i am no no no but to be fair the people that do say things that are like loving like what we did talk about they are showing genuine they are it's as good as they can get by going i really do like you i'm a fan of you yeah and i do hope that you're okay through all this whatever they say is gonna rub off wrong even if they're being positive and supportive because it's gonna creep you out because you're the newscaster in 1940 going i don't fucking know you but who have do you guys have any parasocial relationships like this or have you ever in your life have you ever had a deep fandom of any actor athlete anyway i haven't i've never been like i mean i follow like hogan oh my god on the internet but i don't have to read all.

Speaker 2 Well, I don't have to read all of his posts, brother.

Speaker 2 Let me tell you something about parasocial relationships, dude. What does that mean, huh?

Speaker 2 Hold on a second. Hold on, hold on, Andrew.
I'll tell you all about it.

Speaker 2 Because in 1988, when the Mega Powers exploded, Macho Man thought that I had eyes for Miss Elizabeth, but we were just friends, dude. That's a parasocial relationship, brother.
We don't actually.

Speaker 2 What does parasocial mean? Parasocial. Parasocial.
So is that me, sorry, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 3 Is that me being a fan of somebody or somebody that has a relationship with it's a one-sided relationship it means like outside of your like this is a social interaction we're in the same room we're interacting if i was sending you a dm that is parasocial it's outside of like an actual social interaction this is primarily what all relationships are now you you have a couple of actual relationships in your life with whoever you're dating i do have friends i have some guys on like um instagram the guys that are like fans of mine that talk i've never met them in flesh.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Our relationship is solely based on comedy and

Speaker 2 being a fan. That's parasocial.

Speaker 3 No, if you're DMing with them, if you're interacting, that is not parasocial. Oh, okay.
Parasocial is the relationship, is like all the people DMing you after your breakup that you've never talked to.

Speaker 3 They've only watched you through that lens.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 3 And they feel like they know you because they listen to you talk. And in many cases, you're probably directly addressing whoever's listening to you through a camera.

Speaker 3 So it's that para, what we call on, I do this other podcast called Game of Rose. It's about the bachelor.

Speaker 3 And we call it the parasocial gaze, and we rate different player, different bachelor players, gay players, parasocial gaze.

Speaker 2 Yeah, G-A-C-E, sorry. But that parasocial gaze, in terms of like modern celebrity, is one of the most valuable tools you can have.
Wow. I've never,

Speaker 2 when you asked, I was trying to think, did I ever have one of those? Do you ever have parasocial game?

Speaker 2 I don't think I do.

Speaker 2 I can't really remember.

Speaker 2 If I ever had one that really

Speaker 2 means that happen socially, like in the media and stuff that I care about and I'm interested in. But I don't know if it's like investment in a certain human being.

Speaker 2 Is that parasocial, me being invested in an event?

Speaker 3 Yes, like if you're watching the Johnny Depp Ember Heard trial, for example, and you start to feel some type of way about who you think should win.

Speaker 2 Oh, who's being fine? That's parasocial.

Speaker 3 And it's like you think now that you know a little bit about their relationship, but all you're doing is watching fucking videos of them. They don't know who the fuck you are.

Speaker 2 Right, exactly. Like if you send over 100 DMs to Hulk Hogan on Instagram and he doesn't write you back, that's a parasocial relationship, right? That's an example.

Speaker 2 I see. Now, Bobby, you could have been at January 6th, like I was January 6th in the metaverse.
Or the metaverse. Oh, right.
Yeah, dude.

Speaker 2 And what you do is you just put on your Oculus, you insert your haptic pen,

Speaker 2 and I was there.

Speaker 2 Do you think they're going to storm the Capitol now over the Oculus next time? That would be really

Speaker 2 good. Oh, that would be really great.
And then Trump is there in the Metaverse.

Speaker 2 I would play that game.

Speaker 2 There was a game called Insurrection, right? And it was January 6th, and I get to wear my camo. Uh-oh, this is how it starts.
Yeah, and my camo, and like my

Speaker 2 flagpole, maybe a noose for pence. Yeah, man, right? And I would act it out.
A noose for pence? Yeah, they wanted to kill people. They wanted to hang pence.
Sorry, dude.

Speaker 2 They wanted to join the situation. Yeah, they were yelling out, hang, Mike, pence.
And they had an actual noose outside the fucking Capitol. Yeah.
Well, that does.

Speaker 2 I got to be honest, the rhythm is good. Hang, Mike.
It is a rhythm. Yeah, yeah.
It's a good rhythm. Because you're not going to say, hang, Nancy, Polo, it's not.
It's too much. It's a syllables.

Speaker 2 They were saying, hap, dick, pens.

Speaker 2 Hap, dick, pence.

Speaker 2 But I I would like to see, like, you know, if I could break the window fast enough. Yeah, yeah.
You have all sorts of challenges. Yeah, yeah, but different challenges.

Speaker 2 You keep, oh, that's terrible. When you climb the wall, you keep falling.

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't fall.
It's like Donkey Klunk.

Speaker 2 Imagine he gets kicked out of the metaverse. They're like, we can't have you in here anymore.
There's just you two.

Speaker 2 What if you're wearing those glasses and you're talking to a Chinese guy and it just says ching chong, ching chong, chong. That'd be weird too, right? That would be a malfunction.

Speaker 2 That'd be a malfunction.

Speaker 2 Break him.

Speaker 2 Would it be a malfunction? I know.

Speaker 2 Depends on which one you get. You can get the Trump Metaverse glasses.

Speaker 2 Ching Chong, ching chong. Every Trump Metaverse glasses.
Every time an agent speaks to you, it'll just say ching chong bing bong

Speaker 2 in your eyeballs.

Speaker 2 Ching chong.

Speaker 2 That is great. You will get different glasses based on who you are and what your price point is.
I'm sure they're not going to all work that well. How much are these going to be? I don't know.

Speaker 2 Did it say in that article? Oh, yeah, like some of them will only do language, but some of them will maybe tell the time. Is that what you're saying? Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's like an Apple Watch versus a Fitbit. You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 All of this shit eventually is a contact lens in your eye that just, it helps you with everything in your life.

Speaker 2 You know what would be cool? Hey, this is all cool shit. But you know what would be really cool? When all this stuff comes to pass, and I'm speaking as a guy who has a...

Speaker 2 fucking podcast that's run by an AI. But when all this stuff comes to pass and it's actually happening, you know what would be cool?

Speaker 2 We go, wow, that's really crazy shit that's going on out there in the world. Let's get together and talk about it on a podcast.
So I don't think there's going to be a whole lot of weight given to

Speaker 2 AI entertainment so much in the future. Sure, AI can help.
You look at the medical advancements that

Speaker 2 you can do in the metaverse. You can have people sitting in a giant classroom learning more interactively.
That's great. We, like I said, have a podcast that's essentially programming our show.

Speaker 2 But like I also tell you on the show, any good podcast is just two dudes shitting around, right?

Speaker 2 So that's what's going to happen when we get Oculus and we get our fucking dick hole pens and all that good stuff.

Speaker 2 We're going to be sitting here in another five years going, can you believe we're immortal? Go ahead, Chad. I like,

Speaker 2 oh my God. I like what you're talking.

Speaker 3 I was just going to say, look at what's happened technologically in the last decade or so with smartphones, with the internet, with social media.

Speaker 3 At this point, technological change, how it's affecting human society is so fucking rapid. It's not going the other way.

Speaker 3 All this shit that we're looking at on these screens, like we're at the tip of the iceberg with these things. AI, quantum computing, AR, all this shit.

Speaker 3 I think within the next 10 years, we're going to see easily as much progress as we saw with the other technologies. Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 And I will be holding on to the reins of human civilization in the old school way.

Speaker 2 I'll be pulling back, still doing doodsy with you and going, no, no, no, no. Why, though? Stay with me.

Speaker 2 Let's live over that aquifer. Let's go.

Speaker 3 But that's not true, dude. You're on social media all the time.

Speaker 2 Don't know about that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I enjoy. I'm a fucking baby, man.
I think despite your

Speaker 3 outward protest of the way technology is affecting us all, you fucking engage with it as much as anyone else.

Speaker 2 Man, I liked video games when I was a kid. So what? What's your point? I know who the fuck I am.
I know that I don't want a fucking food pill or a fucking haptic dick pen.

Speaker 2 Well, I will take the latter. I do.
I'm like a fiancé partner. Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 Well, let me say this. Chad, would you, just last thing I want to say? Chad? Yeah.
Chad, Chad. Chad, Chad.
When things go down,

Speaker 2 things are rapidly changing. He's not protecting you, Bobby.
Don't do that

Speaker 2 He doesn't give a fuck about you. When it goes down, it's going to be Chad and Chad.
It's not going to be Chad and Bobby. May I ask, though? It's a no.
The answer is fucking no.

Speaker 2 You know who else I know then? Huh? Lex Friedman. He'll help me.
Lex doesn't give a fuck about you either. No, he doesn't.
He texts me. He cares about human beings.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he does, but he doesn't care about Bobby. He does.

Speaker 2 When the world is going to end, he's not going to help you.

Speaker 2 I'm not going to move in.

Speaker 2 I'm going to call.

Speaker 2 I'm Lex. You're pitching me right now?

Speaker 2 Are you just yelling at me? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm calling you.
What's going on?

Speaker 2 What do you need, Bobby? The world is collapsing. Information.
Things are crashing. Buddy, you're way.
I'm already in the spaceship. I got to talk to you later.

Speaker 2 Oh, that's what's going to happen. Lex Friedman is gone.
He's gone living on fucking Mars.

Speaker 2 Yeah. I'll take the call.
See, there we go. I got him.
He'll be right next to Lex. Oh, that's true.
What do you mean?

Speaker 3 I'll pretend like I'm still here, though.

Speaker 2 I'll go to his little castle in Los Vela. That's funny.
Your little relationship with Lex Friedman, he's like, hang up, and you're like, I got, let me. Bobby, no, I'm still on Earth.

Speaker 2 I'm still on Earth, buddy. buddy I'm in West Hollywood

Speaker 2 I know it looks bad but everything's fine just go to sleep tonight meet me for some food pills

Speaker 2 listen I wouldn't worry about it in the world Chad

Speaker 2 is purporting to be our future world

Speaker 2 whatever president you want hey just put pop it into the you know your haptic dick pen and you got Val Kilmer as your president if you want I wanted more of that

Speaker 2 that would be cool I know that'll be your experience I want to pick because we'll all just be sitting there in matrix bowls full of blue gel with a fucking haptic pen in the back of our head and one of our ass.

Speaker 3 You know how it could work? It could work like this. We all have to pay our tax money.
Whatever.

Speaker 2 No, no, no. I'm out.
Whatever this is, I'm already fucking out. You got to pay your taxes to, in quotes, the government.

Speaker 3 The government is just an AI. So you put your fucking money in, and then you just get a checklist of where do you want your dollars spent on what? Defense, health care, climate change, whatever.

Speaker 3 And we all get to determine where it goes. And then it produces a president like Lil Michaela that we see distributing that money in fake virtual videos.

Speaker 2 And it's much different based on whatever you want to take. Exactly.
It can be whatever nationality you like. I love it.
I don't want a woman being president.

Speaker 2 Whatever kind of person you are, whatever kind of flavor you want. All right, Chad.
You know what? For years and years, I've thought you were on the wrong path. What about, what about?

Speaker 2 But wait, but wait. We have a breakthrough.
You thought he was wrong, but now you. Yeah, I think we are good friends.

Speaker 2 And I hope that you guys

Speaker 2 get there someday. We will.
And we will. Good friends, full and good friends.
