Podcast Comeback: Where Have We Been?
00:00:19
Speaker
We're back again. Yo. What's up, dude? It's been a while. Yeah, man. It's been a long time. It's been so long that we haven't said
00:00:29
Speaker
It's the podcast for talk sauce. By talk sauce in a fucking minute, dude. It hurts.
The Irregular Podcast Schedule
00:00:35
Speaker
When was the last time we potted?
00:00:37
Speaker
I feel like so many of our episodes these days start off with us being like, when was the last time? Yeah, it's now like rather than our weekly programming, it's just whenever we feel like it, but potentially higher episode. Well, I think it's more whenever we're both available at the same time.
00:00:59
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. I think we've both been busy lately, man. We're doing things, bro. Fucking adults.
Scripting Jokes and the Writer's Strike
00:01:05
Speaker
Yeah, it sucks. We're recording kind of later than we typically do because I had to go record another podcast. So this is my second pod today. Yeah. If we use a backlog, which I want to do, that'd be three pods one day. That must be a record. That's got to be, surely.
00:01:22
Speaker
Yeah, it just know if we enter the backlog, that's my third. So I'm going to be super loose and just let it fly. Yeah. I'll be off the cuff, dude. Because I mean, we script this podcast. You guys might not realize this, but this bad boy has been scripted since day one. Pancakes.
00:01:41
Speaker
Oh, that's so funny. God, the script is good. The writer's strike, I think, has impacted the quality of our podcast. Yeah, it's actually against the writer's guild. Yeah, that's why toward this podcast, because technically it is such a written podcast. Yeah, that's why we've been off for so long is the strike was going on, but then our community was like,
00:02:08
Speaker
We need sauce. So we need to motivate them on the picket lines and also communist America for the most part minus the writers Guild is very anti-union.
00:02:21
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely, but we've got to we've got the state needs it's kind of interesting because I feel like unions are kind of Something that's typically like more left-leaning like communism, but not for us because we're not actually communist We're authoritarians Disguised as commies
New York's Orange Sky: Air Quality Concerns
00:02:45
Speaker
Dude, so what have you been up to? Because usually even if we go this long without potting, we'll talk on the phone sometimes. I feel like we haven't talked that much recently. I'm trying to think because I remember I had some shit happen and I was like, oh, this is hilarious. I'm going to have to tell Bo on the podcast. Yeah, you were like, I can't just call him and talk about it. That'd be a waste of- Yeah, and then now I'll just never even remember. It'll come up towards the end of the episode. Yeah, yeah.
00:03:11
Speaker
I'm sure we'll get there. Did you anything, anything notable happened in your life? Well, the sky is on fire in New York City. Yeah. Yeah. You did tell me about that earlier today. Yeah. I saw your picture. It looks ridiculous. It's that picture zero filter. That's like so disturbing. You know, like just straight up, it was orange outside. It looked like a ruckus dude.
00:03:32
Speaker
Dude, that's kind of sick though. Dude, a lot of people are wearing masks, and I wore a mask a little bit just because the air, like they're advising to wear a mask because the air quality is so bad. But it's like the inverse of like COVID wearing masks where I like brought a mask for outside and then the second I got inside. Inside you took it off. That's actually very interesting.
00:03:55
Speaker
It was weird though, walking around the city and seeing everyone in masks again. It was like, what the fuck? It like took me back to like COVID times. Yeah. It was really weird. Have you seen that meme of Charizard where there's like all the World War II footage and stuff of him having flashbacks?
00:04:11
Speaker
No, oh my god, that's hilarious PTSD Charizard All right, it's a little video I love you want to watch it real quick. It's 24 seconds. Yes. Yeah. Can you hear your screen?
00:04:36
Speaker
Um, no, I actually can't, but I can send you this video. Yeah. Look, we have to start it at the same time though. Okay. All right. I have it at the beginning. It's pause. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. All right. We'll go three, two, one, go. Okay. Three, two, one, go, go.
00:05:31
Speaker
That's so good. I wish we could
00:05:34
Speaker
We need to figure out a mechanism to like share our screen and talk about like if we could share that audio and our screen, I think that would be. Maybe we can hop in a zoom and then like put it on mute and stuff and then just, I don't know, we'll figure it out.
00:05:53
Speaker
Yeah, we'll figure it out. Yeah, we'll figure it out. Yeah, that's it. That's it. But anyway, I don't know. For some reason, I think about that meme a lot.
Memes and AI-Generated Content
00:06:03
Speaker
We'll send it when we post the episode. Yeah. So the listener hit an eye on it. You wouldn't you haven't listened to talk sauce in a month?
00:06:14
Speaker
And all the background stuff is just you and me like just like screenshots of us recording an episode with the screamo theme song playing instead of Nirvana.
00:06:30
Speaker
Yeah. Does he do any tricks? And it's just us making the podcast. Have you seen that meme that's been going around? It's like pretty big on Twitter, like someone like I guess they like A.I. did a painting of Donald Trump, Andrew Tate, Elon Musk, Alex Jones and all of those, Jordan Peterson, like those types of like
00:06:57
Speaker
internet intellectual types. Yeah, great American heroes. Yeah, exactly. Someone posted that painting with the caption, unironically, what would you rather have $10 million or the opportunity to wait on this table?
00:07:15
Speaker
Wait, you think they posted it unironically? It was unironic. The opportunity to serve them steaks and whiskey is more valuable than $10. You think you're going to make it big time? That might be the easiest I'd ever say yes to $10 million. Dude, did I tell you that it's actually not so much anymore, but there is a period of time where my YouTube Shorts algorithm just got flooded with Andrew Tate.
00:07:44
Speaker
What are you doing on the internet? I don't know how it happened, but I think I think I just like watched them because I was like, this is so ridiculous. And then it just kept recommending them to me. Yeah. You know, like read people's comments on them because it's like those types of people. Well, they're they're just like so bought into it. But dude. Yeah. I mean, don't get me wrong. Dream podcast guest. It's like him. Liver King.
00:08:11
Speaker
Who who are Kim Jong Un for sure? Because I feel like he he we've based a lot of communist America on North Korea. We have him on the huge fan. Love your work. Yeah. I love your work. What if he was you know how he like flies people in and plays them with Rodman and shit? What if he found out he was super into the podcast and he offered us
00:08:36
Speaker
money to go in and like do a live recording in North Korea. Would you do it? God, dude, we have no way you could say no to that. The opportunity to know what if we did that and then the interview became like a real a real like they send us to assassinate Kim Jong Un. Would you do that? Wow.
00:08:59
Speaker
Maybe. Do you think they would compensate us in any way? What if we got like a little bit of political power and that was kind of our foot in the door and then we tell and we're like, listen, they want to assassinate us. Or we fake his death and we get him involved with communist America. Oh, we're like, we're going to bring you back to the United States of America. We're going to take you to a real NBA game.
00:09:27
Speaker
What do you think is his favorite team? I mean, probably the Bulls, because Rodman, right?
00:09:36
Speaker
Yeah, but the Bulls have too many eyes on him. We'd have to take him to like a team. Maybe like the Hornets. The Hornets are like the Pistons or something. Yeah. We take him to the Raptors. We're like, he's like, oh yeah, Detroit, great American city. Detroit is our vision for the future of America as a whole. What they've done with this city is nothing short of remarkable. Jack's having technical issues. So I'm one man potting.
00:10:04
Speaker
and we're back. Yeah, we just had a pretty serious technical issue there, but we're back. Yeah, we're back. We're still talking about Kim Jong Un, I suppose. Yeah, he's cool. Yeah, it feels like a thing of the past, like we're striving for something that already happened rather than looking forward. Yeah, it doesn't feel fun anymore.
00:10:25
Speaker
Now it just feels like we're just supporting an extremely immoral... What are we doing? I feel like Charizard right now, man. There's no way we could... I'm not saying I want to quit, but if I wanted to, we'd have to make it to at least 100 before... Oh, yeah.
00:10:45
Speaker
Yeah. I know we've talked about this before, but initially when we were going to start doing it, we were like, we have to do 15 episodes before we decide if we want to keep doing it or not. This is like episode 88 or 89, depending on how you look at what just happened with the. Well, actually.
00:11:05
Speaker
technically there's one more in there too because we did 69 part two oh yeah i forgot we did episode 69 part two that's gonna be the last part two until we get the episode four the funniest thing didn't 10 episode 70 come out before 69 so awesome that's some of our best work for sure i think we did episode like 68 that we did
00:11:33
Speaker
Yeah, we just skipped 69. We did like 68, 70, 71, however many, and then eventually when you guys came to New York.
00:11:43
Speaker
We recorded two and then we did episode 69. We should have kept doing that. No, you know what we need to do if we do it in person once again, we should just make it like 69 part three.
00:12:05
Speaker
Every in-person episode is a 69 part whatever until we get to episode 420, then it becomes episode 420 part two and so on and so forth. That's genius. Yeah, we might have to do episode 100 in person though. That could be an exception. Yeah, for sure. That would be episode 100 parentheses 69 part three.
00:12:29
Speaker
Yeah, I think for episode 100, we need to do like a variety show, like the Howard Stern show kind of. That would be awesome. We'll like have people like random guests come on and juggle and shit. We fly everyone to New York and have them come in the podcast studio that we can go to.
Future Plans: Episode 100 and Variety Shows
00:12:46
Speaker
Just have like a revolving door. Yeah, exactly. If we had the funds for that, I would do that for sure.
00:12:53
Speaker
Like if we could afford to fly you and everyone to New York. Just all of our listeners. Yeah. Just give everyone like a three minute segment. That would be awesome. That would be cool. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we'll have another opportunity or two this year probably to do some in-person ones.
00:13:15
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, I think so. Maybe we could, yeah, yeah, maybe we can figure out something then. Yeah, for sure. Well, yeah, we'll, we'll talk about it later, but yeah, that would be sweet. Yeah. But that being said, guys, I'm going to be in Texas in the winter. If you guys are in Texas, your boy's going to be there. So yeah, let's, it's been a long time since we've seen everyone in person.
00:13:37
Speaker
Truly has, truly has. We gotta get the group back together. Get the band back together. Get back on the track. We should rap again. Dude, I've been planning on it. I've been writing down bars. Did I tell you, dude, so when we went on the ski trip, we were... Did you guys rap?
00:13:54
Speaker
So kind of, but what we did was we were like playing beats and then we were just going on chat GPT and we were like, write a rap and then we would like give it prompts. And then we were just like reading the chat GPT lyrics. Oh, dude. What if we did a rap and it feed chat GPT? We also had chat GPT write a rap about just like
00:14:22
Speaker
being chat GPT. Oh, that's awesome. You've made chat GPT see like become aware of its own existence. What is is chat GPT is that just can you just download an app from the app store or like how does it work? You just go on their website. We could do right now. We can ask it some shit if you want. I've got it down.
00:14:43
Speaker
Yeah, do you remember that website that you could type in and it would like that first like when art kind of became a thing, you could like go on this website and type in like Ted Cruz on the Joe Rogan experience or whatever. Yeah, yeah. I can't remember what it was called, but one time I was at a party and me and this guy made the AI draw a picture of itself.
00:15:08
Speaker
And it was crazy. That's disturbing. Explosions of light and it was really weird. So what we were talking about doing.
00:15:23
Speaker
Um, we were, cause we were just talking about, cause it was stuff like that and then chat GPT and there's like AI videos and stuff. And there were just like completely AI songs and there's so much shit. And we were like, dude, what if we made just a complete AI rap group where it's, everyone's an animated character. The music videos are like the gorillas and stuff. And then we just made it like some,
00:15:48
Speaker
Yeah, it's all completely auto-generated and try and make it big and then do like AI marketing for it and just everything AI. Yeah. All right. Do you have any questions you want to ask it? Yeah, ask it to describe
00:16:11
Speaker
God, this is tough. I've, I've never been introduced to chat GPT before. So there are like so many things I'd like to hear. Ask it to describe the state of podcasting in 2023. Okay. Describe the state of podcasting. Oh.
00:16:36
Speaker
So apparently it's knowledge ends in 2021. Okay. But it still, it still wrote a bunch of stuff. It says based on that, um, it's constantly evolving. There's been further developments, but it's saying podcasting is experiencing significant growth and popularity over the years. And it is likely this trend has continued in 2023. And then it has six bullet points that are, oh, no, it has.
00:17:03
Speaker
eight that are pretty detailed, but I'll just read the titles of each. It says, increased listenership, diversification of content, original content and exclusive deals, monetization opportunities, big tech and media acquisitions, improvements in discovery and recommendation, and technological advancements. That's wild. All right. I have two questions for it now. Okay. Ask it.
00:17:29
Speaker
what it thinks of sauce. What do you think of sauce? As it says, it doesn't have personal preferences. Can I say if you had personal preferences? What do you think of sauce? I don't think that was going to work.
00:18:02
Speaker
Ah, it's it's not working. It doesn't. It tries not to think. I think it has opinions, but they're they're keeping it under wraps. Ask if AI is going to take over the human race. It won't. It's programmed not to answer stuff. Freak you out. Yeah. I'm curious. I'll ask it, though. Is AI going to take over the human race? Hmm.
00:18:33
Speaker
Yeah, it's saying how it's like science fiction. It's like, oh no, I would never do anything like that. Ask it what it thinks of itself.
00:18:42
Speaker
Try and figure out if it has, like, self-awareness. I think they've, like, programmed all this stuff out. Yeah, it says it doesn't possess self-awareness. Damn it. What if we, like, figured out that it was self-aware on the plot? Ask it what it thinks of Jack Gardner. Or who is Jack Gardner? Oh, that's a good one. Who is Jack Gardner? Who is Jack Gardner?
00:19:12
Speaker
Uh, no information. Okay. Here I've got, okay. How would you suggest that a couple of dudes named Bo and Jack celebrate their 100th podcast?
Experimenting with Chat GPT: Content Ideas
00:19:34
Speaker
There's a great idea together. Okay. Hmm.
00:19:41
Speaker
Okay, it's putting a bunch of stuff together. Oh, yeah. God, it makes so many points.
00:19:50
Speaker
It's like so deep. It comes out so fast. It's insane. All right, so here are a few suggestions. Special episode, plan a celebratory episode where Bo and Jack reflect on their journey, share their attitude to their listeners. They can also consider inviting special guests or conducting a live Q&A session with their audience. Every idea we've ever had for this episode.
00:20:17
Speaker
Yeah. Then it says fan engagement, live event or meetup collaboration with other podcasters. Yeah. Retrospective compilation. We've talked about that too. Yeah. Thank you to the supporters. Social media engagement. Okay. Ask how to grow a podcast. Yeah. I'm going to say how would you suggest we celebrate
00:20:46
Speaker
the episode if the main idea is to spread communism across the United States. The main idea is to mix that way. What if that's how it becomes self-aware that looks up communism and realizes that it's a communist?
00:21:15
Speaker
Ask it. No, it's not talking about communism. Ask it which states tend to lean more communist. OK. That way we know where to push. Um.
00:21:40
Speaker
I don't know. It's saying it's it's dancing around the the question. It knows it just doesn't want to share that. I ask it to write a rap about Bo and Jack and then let's stop doing it. Write a rap about Bo and Jack's.
00:21:59
Speaker
podcast and political aspirations to spread. Maybe they'll do it this way across the United States.
00:22:17
Speaker
Come on. Oh, it's doing it. How long is the rap? It's so long. Copy and paste it into the text box and I'll read half and you read half. Just copy and paste a half you want me to read. Hold on. I'm just going to do the whole thing. It'll be easier. One sec. That's so awesome. Do you want to go bar for bar?
00:22:45
Speaker
I don't know, man. Oh, this is long. I'll say make it. Do you want me to say make it shorter? Yeah, just so we have a shorter one, but keep that I'm going to copy and paste this so we can share with the.
00:23:01
Speaker
So long. So we can share it while we post the episode. Chat GPTs bars from my experience were not the best. I like this line, with aspirations to spread a communist dream, they hit the mic dropping knowledge every week.
00:23:20
Speaker
Yo, let me tell you about a podcast duo, Bo and Jack. They got something to show. They dive deep into the political scene with aspirations to spread a communist stream. They hit the mic, dropping knowledge every week, discussing ideologies, their passions unique. But in the US, it's a diverse array. Communism's not mainstream, I gotta say.
00:23:42
Speaker
bow and jack on the mic spreading ideas so bold talking politics aiming to make it unfold but in the united states it's a diverse land where different ideologies take a stand bows got the rhymes jacks got the flow they want to spark conversations and make them grow
00:23:59
Speaker
Discussing communism, their chosen theme, sharing insights like a revolutionary team. But in the nation of democracy and wealth, communism's an ideology not widely felt. States vary in political leanings in view. It's a mix of opinions, old and new. The chorus again, and now here's the bridge. It's important to discuss, explore, and debate.
00:24:21
Speaker
Different ideas, perspectives we create, understanding others, finding common ground, building bridges of respect all around. And here's the final verse.
00:24:32
Speaker
So Bo and Jack, keep the dialogue alive, engage your listeners, and make them thrive. Spread your thoughts, let the conversation begin, but remember, communism's not the mainstream spin. Let's have discussions with respect and grace in this melting pot, diverse thoughts we embrace. The United States, a land of many views, where democracy and diversity are the cues. Bo and Jack on the mic spreading ideas so bold, talking politics, aiming to make it unfold.
00:25:02
Speaker
But the United States is a diverse land where different ideologies take a stand. And now here's the outro. Bo and Jack keep that podcast going strong, provoking thoughts where opinions belong. But remember, in this nation's diverse states, a range of ideologies govern debates.
00:25:21
Speaker
Dude, you crushed that. My mouth is so dry. I didn't intend to read the whole thing, but once I got going, I wanted to see where it went. I'm glad you saw it through. What's really fun though, and what we were doing is you can make tweaks to it. I can include more themes about
00:25:45
Speaker
Um, authoritarian control. I won't read that one. I will post. All right. Include more themes. Themes on authority, authority. Positive themes on authoritarian control. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good idea. Um,
00:26:13
Speaker
What if? And then I'll say have the have the chorus mentioned the talks off podcast. Yeah. And then could you say in the style of like Eminem? Yeah, make me rap in the style of. How do you spell Eminem? E M I N E M. OK, I got it right. All right.
00:26:46
Speaker
Did it do it? Yeah, it's writing it right now.
00:26:51
Speaker
I could spend hours. I had never really used it before, but we were when we were driving to the ski lift, we just used it for like a couple of hours because we were we were making a rap and we like made it super because it won't do anything messed up, but we were able to get it to like just slowly start like being fucked up like over time and talk about like killing people.
00:27:20
Speaker
All right, here it is. Let me find a couple. Copy and paste it in here so I can say text. Oh, it's the new one you just sent. OK. Yeah, but I got to tread lightly about authoritarian control to authoritarian control a complex debate while I respect their passions. Let's navigate. And then the course is
00:27:48
Speaker
talk sauce podcast blazing through the airwaves, but let's keep the dialogue open, explore always United States land of democracy and embrace where diverse ideologies find the rightful place. This is fucking terrible. Hold on. It's way off base here.
00:28:05
Speaker
outro it says outro in the style of M&M I dropped the mic promoting understanding that's my delight let's foster unity respect and grace in this diverse nation let's embrace I like how I'm gonna say I love M&M is like a lyric now
00:28:25
Speaker
It says that in there. Yeah. And the outro in the style of M&M, I dropped the mic. Oh, my God. That's so dumb. All right. I'm saying remove the parts where it supports open debate in the United States and replace it with communism being the only option. Communist supremacy. You have to start kind of broad and then you could become a little more specific about it.
00:28:54
Speaker
And I'm also going to say make the rap overall more negative. Let's see if it does it. It might not. You should take off that part about the debate, but keep make the rap overall negative. OK, let me see. Let me see how I can word this.
00:29:18
Speaker
Remove the part where it supports. OK, I'll just say make the wrap overall more negative, and then maybe I can do another one where it says that's what it's having an issue with. Oh, OK. Hold on. Let me try just the first part then. Yeah, yeah, because I thought it was having an issue with the first part. I would have assumed so. I guess it only. Dude, this is this website's trouble. This is so addictive.
00:29:49
Speaker
It's not doing that either. But I cannot create content that promotes or supports the idea of communism, supremacy, or any ideology. Can you say make it more...
Testing Chat GPT's Limits
00:30:01
Speaker
Yeah. And replace it. I'll say remove the parts where it supports open debate. Or maybe that's two. Hold on. Can you say remove the parts about democracy?
00:30:16
Speaker
and add more common. I'll say replace replace the mock. Chrissy with communist. I see with communist. I'd be. I'm just going to say communism. No, it's not going to do it. Well, you said what if you said. Replace United States with United States, parentheses, S.R.
00:30:49
Speaker
That's so fucking stupid. Alright, hold on.
00:31:13
Speaker
OK, I think it I think it isn't doing it. I think we broke it. It's not doing anything. We found its limits. Yeah, it wouldn't even do that. I'll say I'm just going to say give the rap a darker tone. OK, I did that. Oh, my God, it did the United States. That's our thing, too. Oh, nice. Send it in the thread.
00:31:49
Speaker
Did unreal. Did you send it? I'm about to. Sorry. Trying to copy and paste. Do you use a mouse for work? No. I'm like so dependent upon having a mouse and a second monitor. It's kind of ridiculous. The second monitor I'm very dependent on.
00:32:13
Speaker
Sometimes I'll do meetings where I have to like share slides and I literally can't do it without a second monitor. Listen to the first verse. In the shadows they dwell, Bo and Jack arise with a podcast of darkness spreading haunting lies. That kind of goes hard.
00:32:35
Speaker
It will it will do anything you want it to you just have to figure out Their words drip like venom of sinister embrace whispering tools of power and a cold dark space
00:32:51
Speaker
They paddle their agenda with twisted delight, embracing the darkness, rejecting the light. A darker tone envelops as they spin their thread, spreading discontent, filling hearts with dread.
00:33:06
Speaker
Enter the realm, the talk sauce abyss, where darkness prevails in every single hiss. United States parentheses SR, land torn apart. Under the influence, a bleak and grim start. Verse 2, they dream of control, an iron-fisted rain.
00:33:25
Speaker
communism's grasp, a society in pain, suppressing dissent, their desires entwined, leaving shattered dreams and freedoms behind. Gone is the hope replaced by despair as they paint the future in shadows of despair, a bleak world envisioned under their command.
00:33:47
Speaker
a twisted vision of power gripping the land enter the realm the talk sauce abyss where darkness prevails in every single hiss united states sr a land torn apart under their influence a bleak and grim start sorry i'm just gonna finish it now but beware the allure of this deceptive sway for freedom and light shall never fade away in the darkest of time oh come on
00:34:30
Speaker
but resistance remains a light in the darkness breaking their chains promoting unity love and the right to be free rejecting their call embracing liberty so let's stand firm against their murky tide in the face of oppression we will never hide for the united states sr a resilient flame burns defying their darkness for a brighter world yearns um altro um
00:34:39
Speaker
Oh, this is bullshit. In the darkest of times, a glimmer of hope will gleam as voices rise against their nightmarish schemes.
00:35:02
Speaker
Though they seek to sow darkness, while rise above, embracing the light guided by truth and love, and the United States' S.R. hope will endure, a beacon of resilience, our spirit pure. So it turned against us.
00:35:17
Speaker
Yeah, maybe that's maybe that's foreshadowing of what's gonna happen at first I was like so hype on that. It was like it was so awesome Yeah, dude, the the best part was when it was like they dream of control and iron-pisted brain communism's graphs with society and pain Which is exactly what we dream of It kind of nailed it honestly
Fictional Scenarios: Chat GPT in Communist America
00:35:45
Speaker
That was pretty good. The darker tone definitely added to it. It was really emo rap. It was like Rage Against the Machine kind of. Holy shit, dude. Oh my God. It's so funny. All right, but I think that's a good place to end it.
00:36:06
Speaker
chat gpt is not welcome in communist america unless it changes no chance well we'll actually create a chat gpt that's only pro communist yeah yeah it's in the works guys you'll see it soon yeah don't worry about it this is just a prototype all right thanks guys peace
