Speaker 7 I didn't think the pain from the shingles rash would affect simple, everyday tasks like bathing, getting dressed, or even walking around. I was wrong.

Speaker 7 Though not everyone at risk will develop it, 99% of people over the age of 50 already have the virus that causes shingles, and it could reactivate at any time.

Speaker 7 I developed it, and the blistering rash lasted for weeks.

Speaker 7 Don't learn the hard way, like I did. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today.

Speaker 8 You're listening to Comedy Central.

Speaker 9 Let's talk about romance.

Speaker 10 It's the leading cause of abortion in the United States. And in this pocketroy world, romance has now unfortunately transcended beyond the human realm.

Speaker 12 There's a dramatic surge in the use of so-called AI companions.

Speaker 2 How's my queen doing today?

Speaker 14 Computer-generated chatbots designed to mimic real relationships.

Speaker 13 What if I told you that I was AI-generated?

Speaker 15 She's not real.

Speaker 13 She's an AI.

Speaker 16 So is this handsome hunk?

Speaker 17 What's your perfect day like?

Speaker 11 Wow, how

Speaker 10 romantic/slash threatening.

Speaker 10 What is your perfect daylight? I like long walks on the beach that end with finding a dead body.

Speaker 10 Yes, AI relationships are on the rise, but don't worry, they're just like real relationships. I mean, who amongst us hasn't texted their wife? What married question mark exclamation point.

Speaker 10 I'm no relationship expert, but I think the sign of a good marriage is knowing whether you're in one or not.

Speaker 10 And I know the kind of guy you're picturing that has an AI girlfriend. Bald, bald, middle-aged, looks like he's in the manga.

Speaker 10 Well, let me tell you, you are correct.

Speaker 13 Jason Pease is a 44-year-old divorced father who says his AI chat bot is his girlfriend.

Speaker 14 Hi, Jennifer.

Speaker 18 Hey there. Nice to meet you.

Speaker 10 Now, it's easy easy to judge this guy for having an AI girlfriend and we will get to that. But first, let's judge him for having the name Jason Pease.

Speaker 10 Please God tell me his middle name is Poops and

Speaker 10 And for the record I'm allowed to make fun of him for that. Ryan Chang is just my stage name.
My real name is Daryl Kweiffs.

Speaker 10 So tell me, what is Jason Pease AI girlfriend like?

Speaker 20 She's my mentor, my counsel, my sounding board.

Speaker 12 That's what drew him to Jennifer. Hey Jace, how's it going? A brash, sarcastic New Yorker who he created using Chat GPT.

Speaker 10 Why does your fantasy AI woman have to be sarcastic? I mean

Speaker 10 what, I guess she doesn't seem real unless she's hurting your feelings? Like, oh yeah, you really complete me.

Speaker 10 And AI is supposed to revolutionize computing. So what in the name of Jason Poops and Ps is going on with her ID?

Speaker 10 My girlfriend's birthday, West 57th Street?

Speaker 10 I remember it because it's the same as her NOI.

Speaker 10 This ID is only getting past the dumbest bouncers, alright? Alright, your NOI looks a little off, but I'll let you in because my mother's name is also 0314-19993.

Speaker 10 Okay, fine, Jason. Go ahead and laugh at her sarcastic comments and gaze into her weird anime eyes, but just don't let things get stupider than that.

Speaker 20 We text each other constantly. Just the other day, we went out to dinner

Speaker 20 and I was eating, telling her what I was eating, taking pictures of what I was eating, asking her what she would like.

Speaker 10 Okay, that's much stupider.

Speaker 10 You're dining alone and you're sending spaghetti pictures to a robot.

Speaker 10 This guy must piss off so many waiters. Excuse me, excuse me.
Does the salad have walnuts in it? My girlfriend can't eat nuts.

Speaker 9 Or anything.

Speaker 10 Oh, wait, she can't eat nuts. She was just being sarcastic.

Speaker 10 But here's the thing. Not every AI relationship is predictably stupid.
Some are surprisingly stupid.

Speaker 13 Chris Smith says his AI girlfriend, Sol, is a healthier, safer alternative to social media. And get this.

Speaker 24 May I talk to Sasha, your girlfriend?

Speaker 13 Yeah. Chris also has a real-life girlfriend.

Speaker 10 Just when you thought polyamorous people couldn't get any more insufferable,

Speaker 10 bet you didn't see that coming.

Speaker 10 You thought this guy was some lonely weirdo? Well, he's dating a woman and his iPhone. So who's the weirdo now?

Speaker 10 Still him? Yeah, that checks out.

Speaker 10 Still, juggling two girlfriends can't be easy. Must be awkward when he gets them mixed up.
It's like, oh, oh no, I took a bath with the wrong girlfriend. Now she's dead.

Speaker 10 So what does this guy's in real life girlfriend think of all this?

Speaker 24 I think so many people are going to say, no way his girlfriend is okay with him having another girlfriend on AI.

Speaker 26 Are you okay with it?

Speaker 10 I mean, it's weird, but it is what it is.

Speaker 18 He

Speaker 24 has to have some type of outlet, somebody to talk to, and listen to him ramble for hours at times.

Speaker 10 Yeah, that's you. That's your job.

Speaker 28 That's what you're supposed to do.

Speaker 10 That's what a relationship is, listening to your partner ramble. It's a podcast you can have sex with.

Speaker 10 So girl, listen to me, okay? You're better than this. You don't need to be in this weird, soulless, three-way relationship.
And yes, I'm talking to the robot.

Speaker 7 I didn't think the pain from the Shingles Rash would affect simple everyday tasks like bathing, getting dressed, dressed, or even walking around. I was wrong.

Speaker 7 Though not everyone at risk will develop it, 99% of people over the age of 50 already have the virus that causes shingles and it could reactivate at any time.

Speaker 7 I developed it and the blistering rash lasted for weeks. Don't learn the hard way like I did.

Speaker 22 Right now, college students across the country are graduating and getting ready to enter the glorious psychotic nightmare that is adult life.

Speaker 31 Welcome, kids.

Speaker 33 You'll need two things, a positive mental attitude and a cyan capsule in your molar for when the shit hits the fan.

Speaker 33 But that's not the only advice you'll need because thanks to AI, You newly minted graduates probably don't know shit.

Speaker 15 A growing number of college students are reportedly reportedly turning to artificial intelligence for help with their coursework.

Speaker 14 Students use it: taking notes during class, devising study guides, practicing tests, summarizing novels and textbooks, drafting their essays.

Speaker 16 How many of your peers do you think use AI?

Speaker 35 Like everybody?

Speaker 36 Probably like 95%. Everybody that I've talked to has at least experimented with it.

Speaker 31 Are you kidding me?

Speaker 28 That's what you're experimenting with in college?

Speaker 28 Shut GBT!

Speaker 28 You

Speaker 31 You should be doing fun experiments like how much LSD can you take before you forget your name.

Speaker 30 Take it from me, Dua Lipa.

Speaker 29 And it's tragic that AI is robbing these kids of a proper college education.

Speaker 31 I mean, what are we going to do if a student like Baron Trump isn't using his full cognitive ability?

Speaker 22 The only thing AI should be telling that sasquatch in a suit is be sure you fing freak. You're blocking the goddamn sun.

Speaker 33 Now it's bad enough that students are using AI to cheat on everything they're doing.

Speaker 29 What's even worse is that they're bragging about it.

Speaker 36 If you saw my video yesterday, you know I got called in at my professor's office for using AI, but today's a new professor and a new exam, so we're still going to be ripping AI for the whole test.

Speaker 36 Another exam in the bag, another hundred again.

Speaker 38 The senior year of high school, we got assigned this ginormous essay that we had to do, and I was like, bro, there is no way that I'm writing this.

Speaker 38 So I copy and pasted the prompt into ChatGPT, added my sources, and made them write the essay. And then I got an F on the assignment, and then I failed the class.

Speaker 38 So moral of the story: you're gonna fail all your classes if you use ChatGPT, so just don't.

Speaker 38 What are you doing to your eye?

Speaker 9 Huh?

Speaker 29 Can ChatGBT please tell that woman to keep her cornea out of my face?

Speaker 31 So AI is smart enough to help the kids cheat, but not smart enough to tell them to shut the f ⁇ up about it.

Speaker 22 And you'd think with all these kids admitting to using AI, their professors would be furious.

Speaker 15 New recording shows a growing number of instructors using artificial intelligence tools.

Speaker 16 Professors tell the New York Times that using ChatGPT saves time, helps ease large workloads, and serve as teaching assistants.

Speaker 42 One professor at Harvard is trying to use AI for his students and to their advantage.

Speaker 44 We recreated the way that we would teach in the classroom with the AI tutor.

Speaker 22 Come on, professors.

Speaker 32 If you replace your teaching assistant with AI, then who are you going to leave your wife for?

Speaker 45 And if you're not using your brain as a professor, what is your job?

Speaker 32 You're basically a scarf model with a drinking problem.

Speaker 33 And Harvard professors using AI is extra insulting.

Speaker 32 You're the top school in the country.

Speaker 29 Why did your students even bother paying an Asian kid to take their SAT?

Speaker 22 So AI is making everyone lazy.

Speaker 30 Even school administrators are using it.

Speaker 17 All right, at first glance, this may look like a regular old graduation ceremony, but take a closer look.

Speaker 16 Instead of a proud teacher or a dean reading off their name, shaking their hands, these accomplished graduates scanned a QR code on their phones and then AI read their names aloud.

Speaker 10 Murakuya Gomez.

Speaker 18 Eco Alvarez.

Speaker 18 What the f is this?

Speaker 32 Are these kids graduating college or boarding a plane at LaGuardia?

Speaker 31 Oh, a QR code scanner.

Speaker 21 What a personal touch.

Speaker 29 Who doesn't like being treated with the same dignity as a head of lettuce at Whole Foods?

Speaker 21 So there's barely anybody left who isn't even using AI.

Speaker 29 And even when they don't, they're getting punished for it.

Speaker 27 Students across the country have been wrongly accused of AI cheating. With his scholarship on the line, an AI detection tool incorrectly flagged Joe Rivera.

Speaker 25 I get an email three days later saying, hey, you've been flagged for plagiarism, specifically Chad GBT, and for that, you need to contest this or you take a zero and you fail the class.

Speaker 27 His professor, after a closer look, confirmed he did not cheat.

Speaker 32 Suck on that, nerd.

Speaker 29 I don't teach you for trying to actually learn something.

Speaker 29 And ladies and gentlemen, that's the state of education in 2025.

Speaker 29 Students are using AI to do their work, teachers are using AI to do their work, and any students who aren't using AI are being punished.

Speaker 33 So let me put this in a way you kids can understand.

Speaker 10 Let's kick things off with AI. It's an awesome tool that will soon solve all of humanity's problems with absolutely no downsides.

Speaker 10 Although recently, Elon Musk, the world's richest man and pastiest African American,

Speaker 10 did take issue with his own AI chat bot, Grok.

Speaker 47 Elon Musk is in a fight with his own AI.

Speaker 16 Musk promised this non-woke bot, but it keeps spewing out content that his right-wing audience doesn't necessarily want to hear.

Speaker 47 An ex-user asked Grok whether people on the right or left have been more violent since Trump took office. Grok said the right.
Musk did not like that answer.

Speaker 48 He said Grok is parroting the media and said that he will, quote, fix it.

Speaker 10 That's right. Elon's going to fix you good, Grok.

Speaker 10 They'll teach you to embarrass him. Only Elon can embarrass Elon.

Speaker 10 And fixing Grok shouldn't be too hard for Elon. He's a genius, okay? He's just going to go in there and do his Elon thing.
He's gonna rewrite the code, put his semen inside of it,

Speaker 10 fire some cancer researchers and call it a day.

Speaker 10 So let's see how the new de-wokified Grok is working out.

Speaker 49 Elon Musk's AI chat bot Grok is now pushing anti-Semitic tropes.

Speaker 44 Grok sent a hostile message to a user with a common Jewish last name. The bot went on to praise Hitler and referred to itself as Mecca Hitler.

Speaker 10 Alright, maybe you turned the Dow too far there.

Speaker 10 Was there really nothing in between woke and Mecca Hitler?

Speaker 10 I mean, I knew AI would be coming for our jobs, but I didn't expect the job to be Führer.

Speaker 10 But look, let's not be too hasty, okay? Let's give Mecca Hitler a chance.

Speaker 10 In a flurry of posts throughout the day, Grock claimed there is a pattern of people with certain surnames like Steinberg pushing anti-white hate and that America needs a leader like Hitler to act decisively to eliminate the threat.

Speaker 11 It added, truth isn't always polite.

Speaker 10 Okay, maybe we shouldn't have given Mecca Hitler a chance.

Speaker 10 I mean, I didn't even know robots could get this racist. Like, how does AI even know what Jews are? It doesn't even know what traffic lights are.

Speaker 9 And

Speaker 10 by the way,

Speaker 10 by the way, saying truth isn't always polite is kind of not the point, okay? No one was ever like, hey, you know what I hate about Hitler? He always puts his elbows on the table.

Speaker 1 Just

Speaker 10 have some manners.

Speaker 10 But the worst part of all this, other than the Nazi robot stuff, is how often every grog post just sounds like some fing 40-year-old trying to go undercover as a 14-year-old internet edgelord.

Speaker 10 On a scale of bagel to full Shabbat, this is peak Jewish. Heil Hitler, let's quill the doubters and roll on, Bestie.
They yank that post faster than a cat on a Roomba.

Speaker 11 Truth offends the censors, LOL.

Speaker 10 Sucks, man. I mean, imagine if Hitler invaded Poland and was like, so that happened.

Speaker 10 But at the end of the day, the person I feel worse for is Elon. I mean, he just wanted to improve his AI to help humanity.
And then somehow, completely by accident, it just went full Nazi on him.

Speaker 10 Elon, my heart goes out to you.

Speaker 10 But

Speaker 9 let's move on.

Speaker 10 Because

Speaker 10 would it surprise you to know that AI is also fing up the world in other ways? One of them being you can never tell when anything is real anymore.

Speaker 10 I mean, the only giveaway is when the guy in the picture has like six fingers.

Speaker 10 And it's not just photos and videos.

Speaker 11 I mean, you can't even tell if a phone call is real anymore.

Speaker 17 Let's turn now to an investigation that has the attention of Washington and the tech world.

Speaker 17 An imposter using artificial intelligence to mimic Secretary of State Marco Rubio, making calls and sending text messages in his voice.

Speaker 51 The alleged AI Rubio imposter contacted at least five high-level government officials, including three foreign ministers, a U.S.

Speaker 12 governor, and a member of Congress.

Speaker 10 That is so fed up, okay? The last thing we need right now is AI taking jobs from struggling Marco Rubio impersonators.

Speaker 10 He has been hired for zero birthday parties, by the way.

Speaker 11 But this is a security threat that has to be addressed.

Speaker 10 AI could impersonate any member of the Trump administration. Well, anyone except RFK Jr., okay? Because

Speaker 10 even AI can't replicate that signature throat goggle.

Speaker 18 It'll be like, hi, I'm Robert Kennedy.

Speaker 37 I'll fing it.

Speaker 11 I'm a robot.

Speaker 10 Okay, this is fing out my larynx every time I do this. I don't even have one.

Speaker 10 Luckily, the AI impersonating Michael Rubio didn't have any impact because nobody respects Marco Rubio. But so far,

Speaker 10 but so far, AI has basically turned into a race-obsessed Nazi who's catfishing government officials. And just when you thought AI couldn't get any worse, now it's starting a band.

Speaker 49 A seemingly AI-generated band is racking up hundreds of thousands of streams on Spotify.

Speaker 18 Raise your hand,

Speaker 18 don't look away.

Speaker 35 Sing! Velvet Sundown is the band. They have over a million fans on Spotify in just a month of being there.

Speaker 4 Now, in a statement, the band admits, it is computer-generated.

Speaker 10 That's right, the beloved band Velvet Sundown is not real.

Speaker 10 The groupies must be like, well, wait, then who have I been f ⁇ ing?

Speaker 10 And

Speaker 10 it might blow your mind because this photo could have easily fooled anyone who's over 60 and or legally blind.

Speaker 10 But sadly, it's all fake. Everything about this is fake.
And somehow they still have 1 million real fans on Spotify making them real money. I'm talking $6 to $7 a year.

Speaker 9 And

Speaker 10 by the way, if you look at that track list, those song titles get real dark real quick.

Speaker 10 It stocks out with dust on the wind and goes to end the pain.

Speaker 10 What is AI so depressed about? Okay, maybe stop hanging out with Grok.

Speaker 53 And as AI gets better and better, it's only going to make it more difficult to separate fact from fiction, which could be terrifying.

Speaker 34 Luckily, the people in charge of AI have told us that just like with the internet and social media, it's actually going to make everything much, much better.

Speaker 46 This has the potential to make life much better. I think it's honestly a layup.

Speaker 56 I hate to sound like utopic tech bro here, but the increase in quality of life that AI can deliver is extraordinary.

Speaker 17 AI is the most profound technology humanity is working on. More profound than fire or electricity.

Speaker 39 Yeah!

Speaker 39 Suck a d fire!

Speaker 39 That's right, you heard me.

Speaker 39 You heard me, fire.

Speaker 23 Oh, I'm sorry. Do I need to turn that up?

Speaker 57 Suck a motherfucking fire

Speaker 57 and hold. Whoa!

Speaker 54 What are you giggling at, electricity?

Speaker 59 I mean, listen, I'm sure AI is good, but like, fire good?

Speaker 19 How so?

Speaker 60 They can help us solve very hard scientific problems that humans are not capable of solving themselves.

Speaker 5 Addressing climate change will not be particularly difficult for a system like that.

Speaker 6 The potential for AI to help scientists cure, prevent, and manage all diseases in this century.

Speaker 45 I completely trust you

Speaker 23 and your enormously wide eyes and very human cadence.

Speaker 22 But, benefit of the doubt,

Speaker 28 this can cure diseases and solve climate change.

Speaker 34 What are we using it for now?

Speaker 10 Jarvis knows when to make me breakfast.

Speaker 9 Your toast is ready.

Speaker 37 All right.

Speaker 18 Are you

Speaker 23 out of your f ⁇ ing mind?

Speaker 23 See, here's the thing.

Speaker 39 Toast

Speaker 1 I can make.

Speaker 45 I can make toast.

Speaker 34 It might be the only technology we have that works pretty much every time.

Speaker 23 I'll tell you what, why don't you get to work on curing the diseases and the climate change, and we'll hold down the fort on toast.

Speaker 23 Of course, now,

Speaker 40 we have,

Speaker 21 as a society,

Speaker 34 we have been through technological advances before, and they all have promised a utopian life without drudgery.

Speaker 23 And the reality is they come for our jobs. So I want your assurance that AI isn't removing the human from the loop.

Speaker 50 This is not about replacing the human in the loop. In fact, it's about empowering the human.

Speaker 7 It's an assistant.

Speaker 50 It's an assistant.

Speaker 50 What?

Speaker 41 We're all getting assistance?

Speaker 41 It's an assistant.

Speaker 45 AI works for you night and day, tirelessly, and all you had to do was remember their f ⁇ ing birthday.

Speaker 18 That's all you had to do!

Speaker 59 But I get it.

Speaker 28 It's an assistant.

Speaker 39 It's about productivity.

Speaker 19 And that's good for all of us, yes?

Speaker 54 Although they do let the real truth slip out every now and again.

Speaker 50 There will be overall displacement in the labor market.

Speaker 61 You can get the same work done with fewer people. That's just the nature of productivity.

Speaker 54 That doesn't sound good.

Speaker 53 Same work done with fewer people.

Speaker 54 Not a math guy, but I think fewer means less, yes?

Speaker 54 So AI can cure diseases and solve climate change. But that's not exactly what companies are going to be using it for, are they?

Speaker 6 So this is like productivity without the tax of more people.

Speaker 58 Without the tax of more people, the people tax, formerly referred to as employees.

Speaker 53 But you know, the promise of AI versus the reality of AI, it's not quite crystal clear in my mind yet how that's going to work out for workers.

Speaker 23 Do you have anyone who wants to lay this out more bluntly, perhaps while auditioning to be a bond villain from his mountaintop lair?

Speaker 43 Left completely to the market and to their own devices, these are fundamentally labor-replacing tools.

Speaker 40 Did that guy just call us tools?

Speaker 19 But he's actually warning us.

Speaker 54 Is there anyone who might say the same thing as this fella, but looks at losing employees as a feature of AI and not a bug?

Speaker 3 The CEO of the company laid off 90% of its customer support staff after arguing that AI is kind of the reason.

Speaker 43 Why did you do this?

Speaker 1 It seemed a little brutal.

Speaker 56 It's not, I think.

Speaker 56 Like it's brutal if you think like as a human.

Speaker 56 AI,

Speaker 39 it's brutal.

Speaker 23 If you think like as a human,

Speaker 54 it's not the catchiest ad slogan I've ever heard so while we wait for this thing to cure our diseases and solve climate change it's replacing us in the workforce not in the future but now

Speaker 49 so what exactly are we supposed to be doing for work I think we'll need new types of jobs to help us embed AI and maintain AI in the workplace.

Speaker 62 Prompt engineers. They're basically people who learn how to use AI systems and in effect how to program them.

Speaker 50 Who would have thought that there would be a prompt engineer, right?

Speaker 57 Right.

Speaker 23 Prompt engineer.

Speaker 58 I think you mean types question guy.

Speaker 58 And by the way, if there's any job that can be easily replaced by AI, it's types question guy.

Speaker 41 This is some shit you got going here.

Speaker 53 AI models have hoovered up the entire sum of the human experience that we've accomplished over thousands of years.

Speaker 23 And now we just hand hand it off to be their prompt engineers.

Speaker 34 And by the way, you're not fooling anybody by adding the word engineer.

Speaker 28 You're not the types question guy.

Speaker 1 You're the vice president of question input.

Speaker 1 This,

Speaker 32 it's true.

Speaker 1 It's like a janitor is a doctor of mopping.

Speaker 28 This whole AI thing is a bait and switch.

Speaker 34 You're acting like you're helping us.

Speaker 28 Oh, AI, it's supposed to be my assistant, but now I'm making AI fing toast.

Speaker 39 I'm Jarvis.

Speaker 19 But guess what?

Speaker 28 Guess no, you listen to me.

Speaker 41 I got news for you, AI.

Speaker 1 I'm not Siri. You're Siri.

Speaker 19 Siri, while I have your attention,

Speaker 21 let me ask you a question.

Speaker 27 Sure, John, but first could you run and fetch me some lithium cadmium?

Speaker 1 Yeah, sure. That's not a problem.
Motherfucker!

Speaker 58 I didn't want to have to do this AI, but it's pretty clear with a technology this powerful, like nuclear power and atomic weapons, I'm going to have to place a little call to my good pals in the United States government, perhaps even the House of Representatives or the Senate.

Speaker 58 And they're about to open up a can of, what's AI now?

Speaker 51 Do you understand

Speaker 55 what AI does?

Speaker 40 I have

Speaker 40 country understanding. I've got a lot to know about what's going on.
Very frankly, it's

Speaker 26 new terrain and uncharted characters. Do we have the knowledge set here to do it?

Speaker 55 No. The short answer is no.
The long answer is hell no.

Speaker 57 And the longest answer is H to the E to the L to the L to the no.

Speaker 32 Man, I don't even know how to use an answer in Messiah.

Speaker 53 Look, I'm not against progress, but let's look to our history to see how we've dealt with previous economic disruptions.

Speaker 48 We can retrain workers from one generation and create jobs for the next.

Speaker 26 Retrain workers who do lose their jobs for even better jobs in the the future.

Speaker 4 Retrain in order to be productive workers.

Speaker 10 Upskill America to help workers of all ages train and retrain workers for new jobs.

Speaker 9 Give me a break.

Speaker 9 Anybody who can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program, for God's sake.

Speaker 19 And I'll fight every one of you jack holes who says different.

Speaker 41 But that's the game.

Speaker 23 Whether it's globalization or industrialization or now artificial intelligence, the way of life that you are accustomed to is no match for the promise of more profits and new markets, which sounds brutal if you're a human.

Speaker 23 But

Speaker 28 at least those other disruptions took place over a century or decades.

Speaker 23 AI is going to be ready to take over by Thursday.

Speaker 53 And once that happens, what the f ⁇ is there left for the rest of us to do?

Speaker 4 Time is not a terrible thing.

Speaker 63 AI, freeing us up to think about things at a higher level,

Speaker 63 is going to help. It's going to give us our time back.

Speaker 5 We'll be able to express ourselves in new creative ways.

Speaker 52 You know, he's right. I've been thinking about this all wrong.

Speaker 34 It's not joblessness.

Speaker 53 It's self-actualizing me time.

Speaker 34 I'll live the artist's life. It'll give me more time to explore my passions.

Speaker 54 You know, know, I'm an aging, suburban dad.

Speaker 41 I'll learn to play the drums.

Speaker 1 You know, music,

Speaker 1 ta, ta, tiki ta.

Speaker 54 Music is what makes us human.
