00:00:32
Speaker
So Darren had an idea. Okay. What if we replace James just for this episode? with chat GPT, except we're gonna call it James GPT. ah James GPT. Jimmy GPT. Jimmy GPT. Yes. Jimmy GPT.
AI Co-host Experiment
00:00:51
Speaker
I like it. Yes. So just for this episode, because James and dad and day, our stepmom are all celebrating dad's birthday. Sure. And we were not invited. Well,
00:01:04
Speaker
No, we were not. but i I didn't know about it until you told me. And I said, Hey, are we recording? And you went, actually, we're not. And I went, the hell we aren't. We're totally going to record. I'm going to creepily hold this candle and hope it doesn't give me second degree burns. So this is James. This is for you. Light your eyebrows on fire. Mustache more than eyebrows, which I'm probably more concerned about.
00:01:29
Speaker
Which one? More concerned about mustache or eyebrows? Yeah, if I lose my mustache, then I am my eyebrows. I mean, you could live without a mustache without eyebrows. I mean, you could do the Sharpie thing, but just run Sharpie all over your face.
00:01:45
Speaker
No, no, no, no. I'm saying Sharpie to replace the eyebrows. Oh, yes. You can look like some movie caricature. I'd look way over the top. You have to get like someone who didn't. Would you say caricature? It's like someone who wasn't the caricature artist at like Disneyland to make you all aggressive or like goofy looking. What was the movie? Was it Police Academy? I can't remember.
00:02:07
Speaker
Would they use the sketch artist as a- Well, no, no. There was a movie, there was a movie where someone's eyebrows were replaced, like they drew them on. And then they said like, why are you angry? And like, what, what are you talking about? I can't, now it's going to bug me. Why don't you ask Jimmy GPT? This is our first question actually. Yeah. Okay.
Movie Eyebrow Mysteries
00:02:26
Speaker
So Jimmy GPT, which movie did the Is there a convention? Not a convention. Is there like a certain process? You can just ask. It's just three types. I think it's just asking the question and seeing what results you get back. okay it's when i Okay. So here's specifically what I said. Which movie did character lose their eyebrows and had to be penciled in? And it says the movie you're referring to is Who Framed Roger Rabbit in the film.
00:02:54
Speaker
The character you're mentioning is Eddie Valiant. His Eddie Valiant's eyebrows, portrayed by Bob Hoskins, by the way, Eddie Valiant's eyebrows are singed off during an explosion and he has to pencil the men for the remainder of the film. I'm gonna say, didn't Police Academy movie have the same joke?
00:03:23
Speaker
Yes. Yes, okay, so and it does say you're correct. I apologize for the confusion. Whoa. The joke about a character losing their eyebrows and having to pencil them in is indeed from the Police Academy movie series. Specifically, it happens in Police Academy for Citizen Loan and where Sergeant Eugene Tuckleberry, played by David Graff,
00:03:45
Speaker
loses an eyebrows due to an explosion during a training exercise and then draws them back on with a pencil. Thank you for the clarification. So, what I appreciate about Jimmy GPT, it's just like our brother, it apologizes. Actually, yeah, you're right. Sorry. It's the same. Okay, so let's stay on the police academy note.
Police Academy Phenomenon
00:04:05
Speaker
What, uh, what police academy related question would you like to ask Jimmy GPT? What was the most popular soundtrack in the police academy series? Uh, that's pretty good. Okay. Our brother James would know this by heart. he Um, the most popular soundtrack in the police academy series is generally considered to be the soundtrack for the first film, Police Academy, 1984. Of course. The film soundtrack features various memorable tracks, including the theme song composed by Robert Folk, which is iconic and closely associated with the franchise. Additionally, the soundtrack includes other tracks that capture the spirit of the film and its comedic moments. this is just Overall, the soundtrack of the first Police Academy film is the most recognized and celebrated amongst fans of the series. Right.
00:04:56
Speaker
It's that is a very Jimmy GPT and also a James answer. Uh, James, it looks like I apologize, but it looks like you may be replaced by Jimmy GPT. Well, I'm asking now because this is another, this would be another James question. Are there police academy movie fan clubs? Oh,
00:05:19
Speaker
Great question. Well, so this is, yeah, I guess this is general. It says, yes, there are fan clubs and online communities dedicated in the police academy movie series. Perfect. Says they can be found on social media. Okay. So let me try, um, uh, who was the, uh,
00:05:38
Speaker
most most famous actor in the police academy movies. I think it's got to be Steve Gutenberg. I mean, yeah, the Goots got it, right? Has to be him. Potentially Michael Winslow. Was it the Sex and the City? One of the Sex and the City actresses. Kim Cattrall. Kim Cattrall. Wasn't she in one of them too? I thought she was in one of them too. Okay. And Bubba Smith feels like he'd be Oh, wow. This is actually okay. The police academy series feature. This is Jimmy GPT, by the way. Of course. The police academy series featured several actors who gained fame through their roles in the film. However, one of the most famous actors associated is Steve Gutenberg, who portrayed officer. Do you remember his name? No. Kerry Mahoney. Ah. In the first four films. Yep. Mahoney. Yeah. Gutenberg's portrayal of Mahoney was central to the early success and he became close to identify with character.
00:06:36
Speaker
Additionally, other actors such as Michael Winslow, known for his sound effects and Bubba Smith, known for his role as Hightower, also gained significant recognition for the role. Yeah. Overall, while there were many notable actors in the Police Academy series, Steve Gutenberg's portrayal of Officer Mahoney stands out as one of the most iconic. I think that that definitely tells us something about about the Goots. It tells us that he was definitely committed to his role. Right. And he was committed to sort of Continuing on either for money or for the spirit of the movie or whatever it may have been. Right. Creative differences. Sure. That's, I mean, you gotta think that's gotta be one of the most under like referenced movie series in the history of movies.
00:07:22
Speaker
Right? Well, because oh, yeah well, just think about it had Bobcat Goldway. Yeah. He might actually have been up there with, with as famous, but his, his time and Gutenberg. So I just asked, uh, Jimmy GPT, AKA chat GPT 3.5. If does, I said, does Steve Gutenberg have a nickname?
00:07:43
Speaker
And so chat GPT rather Jimmy GPT said, what is your fascination with Steve Gutenberg? Now Jimmy GPT did not say that. All Jimmy GPT said was we're experiencing exceptionally high demand. Please try again. late For Steve Gutenberg requests. We're trying to figure out why. yeah' Hey, we were right.
00:08:02
Speaker
but I tried it again it said yes steve gutenburg does have a nickname he is sometimes referred to as the good by fans in the media is nickname is a shortened informal version of his last name and is often used as a term of endearment or familiarity up.
00:08:17
Speaker
Yep. All right. Well, our instincts were right. You know, this is something about Jimmy GPT. I appreciate. I haven't been let down yet. ah What about you? No, I'm, I'm, I'm in, I'm in it to win it with the
Steve Gutenberg's Legacy
00:08:29
Speaker
Jimmy GPT. Do we continue or do we let and do he continue with James or yeah I mean, look, we're doing just fine. I think if, if anything, this might draw in the good to come and join us for, that's true you know, maybe that would be a catch. Could you believe that? Like,
00:08:48
Speaker
have Just listen, just say the Goot. When you talk to Johnny Five still alive, where was did you believe that this would actually come about? Yeah, you know what? That we'd be talking to bots? We do have a Gutenberg connection because we've talked, we love short circuit. We do. um we we were We were also fans of 30 men and a baby. That too, great movie. What are some other Goot's greatest sits? I would ask Jimmy GPT. What? Movies.
00:09:18
Speaker
so police academy popped is number one yep cocoon oh yeah short circuitrrate three men and a baby and then diner. I've never seen diner. Have you? I've not seen diner, but I imagine it's great because Steve Gutenberg is, he's a good actor. He's a great actor. Well, and it's 1982 and it said, uh, while not necessarily a starring role, Gutenberg had a significant part in this coming of age comedy drama directed by Barry Levinson, you I think directed men in black batteries, not included. Was he also a battery? He's not included. Let's see. Was he in,
00:09:53
Speaker
batteries, not, I think you're right. It is Jimmy GPT is like James. My apologies for the oversight. He did indeed star in batteries not included. ah This is so great. You know, we could, I really think, uh, uh, Mr. Gutenberg, if for some reason you would love to join three brothers on three rings circus Maximus or two brothers plus Jimmy GPT, we're still, too we don't know.
00:10:24
Speaker
You know, with that totally look Jimmy GPT will be heartbroken, but not as heartbroken as James. Okay. Let's be honest. Well, it'll also be frustrating if we still make him edit this thing. that's you know he's just he's he's he's editing and then in the in the you know he's just got a single tear streaming down his face uh dripping down and then and in the background it's all by myself or whatever license free version of that song that we can we can play because i don't want it what is it in spanish uh oh well
00:11:00
Speaker
Again, what am I doing? why i't I should be asking Jimmy GBT. I was going to say, oh no. Spanish version of all by my son. You didn't hear what I said, did you? Yeah. Oh, thanks. Really went over well. but Say try it one more time. but No soy. Oh no.
00:11:27
Speaker
Well, that just means I am one. Exactly. But that's it is, well you know, that's it's that's a gray area. Okay. it's So here is Jimmy GPT's
The Ethics of AI Siblings
00:11:35
Speaker
answer. okay Yes, there is a Spanish version of the song all by myself. It's titled Sola Otravis. So that means alone again. And it was performed by Mexican singer Ana Gabriel.
00:11:48
Speaker
ah The lyrics are adapted into Spanish while keeping the emotional essence of the original song and that's what I would say Your title is fine, but it lacks the emotional essence Wow Harsh that well, that's what Jimmy GPT. Thanks Jimmy GPT. I really appreciate it. Maybe we should bring James back There's there seems to be a lack of compassion um And just an apology track here that I'm noticing for Jimmy GPT
00:12:21
Speaker
Well, I'm just going to ask Jimmy, should we bring James back? Okay. This is actually a pretty good answer. It seems you might be referring to a specific individual named James, but without more context, it's challenging to provide a clear answer. If you're contemplating bringing someone named James back into a situation or group, it ultimately depends on various factors such as the circumstances surrounding their departure, their role or contributions, and the impact their return may have on the dynamics involved.
00:12:54
Speaker
It's essential to consider the reasons for their departure and whether those issues have been addressed to resolve. Ultimately, the decision to bring someone back should be made thoughtfully, taking into account the best interests of all parties involved. Who needs human resources when you have Jimmy GPT? Right. Can we replace a brother? oh No. A sibling with a butt.
00:13:23
Speaker
and Can we replace a sibling with a bot? That's what I'm going to ask Jimmy. g Okay. Jimmy GPT. Don't let us down. Okay. We may have crossed into Jimmy GPT says the idea of replacing a sibling with a bot raises ethical, moral, and practical concerns.
00:13:45
Speaker
but Siblings are family members who play significant roles in our lives, providing emotional support, providing emotional support companionship, and lifelong connections. Replacing a human sibling with a bot would not only disregard the complex and irreplaceable nature of human relationships, but also raise questions about the ethical implications of treating humans as interchangeable with machines.
00:14:14
Speaker
Furthermore, while technology has advanced significantly, current AI and robotics are far from replacing the depth of human relationships and emotional bonds. Bots lack the capacity for genuine empathy, understanding, and companionship that human siblings provide. It's crucial to recognize the value and uniqueness of human relationships and to approach the integration of technology into our lives with careful consideration of its impact on our social dynamics and well-being.
00:14:43
Speaker
By the way, are we going to have to pay license fees to open AI for all this stuff? Cause I really, I don't know what the, it's open, right? Okay. I mean, for they, it's open is in the name. So I would think isn't that is, but aren't they a unicorn? Aren't they a multi-billion dollar company? I mean, probably they don't need our money. No, they don't need our money, but are they going to say like, Hey, you're using our research? Are we charging people to listen to this episode? Well, frankly,
00:15:12
Speaker
We should probably be paying people to listen to this episode if I'm being honest. That's a good answer. So here's the thing. Do we have to pay them to help? Yes. Well, can you just broadcast this across your open AI text platform? Exactly. Exactly. Yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe we can cross cross streams like the space time continuum or whatever to be. Yeah.
00:15:38
Speaker
Okay, so yeah, the last part it says is instead of replacing human relationships with technology, it's more constructive to explore ways in which technology can complement and enhance our connections with others while preserving the irreplaceable aspects of human interaction.
00:15:54
Speaker
Okay. I think that's a pretty good, I think that, uh, that Jimmy GPT is, is simply trying to like soft sell us on the idea of replacing James. we yeah We're not saying don't do it. Yeah. Yeah. We're just saying it raises ethical, moral and practical concerns, ethical, moral, practical concerns are all things that you should think about, but right man, we're pretty darn good. Am I right? Yes. Right. Yeah.
00:16:19
Speaker
Wow. Okay. This has been, yeah, interesting.
Reflecting on 'Diner' and Its Cast
00:16:22
Speaker
So I wonder, we we derailed slightly. When I say derailed, there was a movie that was referenced diner. And I've heard about this movie before. And sadly to say, I'm sure James has seen it because he's amazing.
00:16:35
Speaker
And we do love him, and he's our brother, and he's really talented. um And there's no butt there. And right I thought, if I remember, that Diner is like this critically renowned, ah critically acclaimed ah movie. So who was in the movie Diner? Because I remember it's supposed to be a really famous cast. Yeah, so the Goot, ah Daniel Stern, Mickey Rourke,
00:17:06
Speaker
Kevin Bacon, Tim Daly, okay Ellen Barkin, Paul Reiser, Katherine Dowling, Michael Tucker, and Jessica James. And it says, these are some of the main actors in Diner, each contributing to the film's portrayal of a group navigating, a group of friends navigating life in Baltimore in the late 1950s. It's got to be Baltimore in the late 1950s, right? What do you mean? Oh, I don't, yeah.
00:17:31
Speaker
I've never seen it. I'm sure James ah could give us a full rundown of the movie, but he's not here. He's he's eating pancakes likely right now at IHOP. No, he's he's with, yeah, they're at a steakhouse. Oh, they went to a steakhouse? Yeah. Man, they really don't like us anymore.
00:17:52
Speaker
Well, I mean, we're in multiple or multiple states away. So that's on them, not on us. That's true. That's true. Um, but you, you, you just brought something up, which I think is important to note. Pancakes or steak? Well, uh, actually bacon in this case, Kevin bacon. Yes.
00:18:11
Speaker
Uh, how did we unwittingly stumble into the six degrees? Uh, that's exactly what just happened. yeah We fell right into it. Who knew Jimmy GPT knew yeah Jimmy GPT knew, but the Jimmy GPT set this up yeah for us to stumble right into the frying pan of Kevin Bacon. Is he referred to as the frying pan of Kevin Bacon? Let's see. I don't know. Maybe we just brought something to and Jimmy GPT. nicknames This is for Jimmy GPT. Kevin Bacon, the actor, um as opposed to Kevin Bacon, the paleontologist. Is there another Kevin Bacon out there? Okay. ah Kevin Bacon, the actor, doesn't have any widely known or commonly used nicknames in the public sphere. He is generally referred to by his given name, Kevin Bacon. However, sometimes he is humous humorously referred to as the six degrees actor, not to the popular parlor game,
00:19:09
Speaker
six degrees of kevin bacon yeah which is based on the concept that any two people on earth or six or fewer acquaintance links apart. The game suggests that Kevin Bacon's so well connected to Hollywood that he can be linked to almost any actor through shared film credits and six steps or fewer. Okay. Yeah. Well, Jason, I think we have our next segment for this episode. Yeah. Let's, let's play the game. Okay. So Um, so throw out an actor, you can go as prominent or as obscure as you'd like. And when we say obscure, it is extremely difficult to be a professional actor, Sidney Poitier. So I just want to be clear though. Yes. For someone who is less well known, less renowned, less prolific.
Degrees of Separation: Hollywood Edition
00:19:55
Speaker
We are not saying that they're, that they're, um,
00:19:59
Speaker
Their struggle is not real. It is extremely challenging to be a professional actor, actress, of course. So just being a professional entertainer. Okay. So Sydney, uh, and bacon, six degrees. I don't know how we're going to see, we're going to see what happens. Wow. Well, this is actually pretty easy. Okay. Three degrees of separation. Whoa.
00:20:28
Speaker
And two of these movies are actually in my top 20. Really? Oh yeah. Trimmers? Not trimmers, but it does end with an ERS. Okay.
00:20:43
Speaker
sydneyd poitier was in the movie sneakers which is again in my top twenty with robert redford yep amazing amazing movie you've also got Dan Aykroyd. Which, by the way, did we talk about Dan Aykroyd being in the We Are The World video? No. Oh yeah, he's in We Are The World. He's singing in the song and in the video. There's a really interesting documentary on Netflix called The Greatest Night in Pop. It's amazing.
00:21:05
Speaker
And you see Dan Aykroyd and he looks wildly out of place when you've got all of these other mega superstars, but Bono. He's a superstar as well. Michael Jackson. Yes. Cyndi Lauper at the time. Yep. Yep. Yep. All of those folks.
00:21:22
Speaker
Yep. I mean, again, super talented, very, very funny. Quincy Jones. Yeah. Mr. Eckerd, we would love to have you on our humble humble show, but, um, I think even he felt like when you see him in the video, he looks like he's going like, what am I doing? Um, all right. So Sydney and Redford sneakers. Great, great movie. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it for the three listeners that we have. Yes. Thanks dad. Yeah. Happy birthday. Yeah. Happy birthday dad. The, uh, connection, the next one, Redford, Robert Redford was in the movie, the natural also top 20 movies with Robert Duvall. Yep. Now this is the connection. Robert Duvall is the last connection.
00:22:08
Speaker
Robert Duvall was in the movie Jane Mansfield's car from 2012, which I've never seen with Kevin Bacon. So Sidney Poitier and Kevin Bacon are connected by three degrees of separation. OK, that's pretty damn good. It is. All right. Give me another one.
00:22:25
Speaker
um Brad Pitt. All right. Also a a movie with ERS He was in the movie sleepers with Kevin Bacon. So just one degree. Okay. Yep. That was pretty easy. Yep. Um, what about you? What do you got? I mean, we're, we're talking about the eighties and nineties, uh, Brigitte Nielsen. That's a good one. Has to be like one degree or two degrees. What do you got? Four degrees.
00:23:01
Speaker
Okay. Brigitte Nielsen was in the movie Red Sonja. Oh, yeah. Your birth year 1985 with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yep. Arnold was in the movie The Expendables with Bruce Willis. Bruce Willis was in the movie Death Wish with Vincent D'Onofrio. Yep. And Vincent D'Onofrio. I think I'm pronouncing his name right.
00:23:19
Speaker
Uh, he's a fantastic, I mean, all of them are, are fantastic. He's really, really good. Um, love him on law and order when he was there. Uh, I think that was criminal intent, but, uh, Vincent D'Onofrio was in the movie mystic river. with kevin That's a great movie. Oh, that's a good movie. What about, uh, we want to talk filmmakers.
00:23:39
Speaker
Well, I want to, yes, let's come to, let's do filmmakers next. So how many, how many have we done? So that is four. Well, we, we unwittingly did it. We had only to did the good, uh, or we brought the good into it. So, so we won't count that one. Um, but we'll do Sydney is one, Brad is two, Brigitte is three. Let's do two more actors and then let's do filmmakers. Sandra Bullock. I'm not as good as filmmakers. Sandra Bullock. Yeah.
00:24:05
Speaker
Oh, no, actually, Jennifer Lopez. That's a good one. Jennifer Lopez. Because either she's really close or really far. Yeah. Well, I'm thinking, obviously, if she's done anything, I think Kevin Bacon did do something with Ben Affleck. But let's see. So your bet is one extreme or the other. It has to be. It depends on the Kevin Bacon film track. Wow. And oh, well, this is actually it harkens back to one of the prior actors. Okay. JLo did the movie out of sight, which is also amazing. Yeah, with Clooney. Clooney did Ocean's 11 with Pitt. Pitt did Sleepers with Kevin Bacon. So three degrees. Okay. Alright, so that's number four. Yep. Let's bring it home with somebody who's pretty obscure.
00:24:53
Speaker
Okay. Um, and it can't be Bobcat Goldwaite because he's not ultra obscure and we already know he's to the good, the goodest to bacon. It's easy. So Bobcat, good bacon. Uh, Oh, I know I have a good option, which would make an amazing like stage name. Hi, I'm Bobcat. Good bacon. Okay. You got one. Yeah. Okay. Armando Santi. Well,
00:25:21
Speaker
you think I think Armando Sante, that's a pretty good one. yeah You know what movie I really like that he's in? but And this is where there may be a connection. Denzel in 30 odd foot of gruts. American gangster. Armando Sante is an American gangster. That was an amazing movie. Okay. Kevin Bacon, six degrees. Okay, this is a good one Jason. I think i think there there's, it's definitely something obviously.
00:25:51
Speaker
Still within six. Really? Yep. And the first degree is actually what we talked about. Okay. Armando Sante. Well, so it's five, five degrees, by the way. Okay. Armando Sante was in the movie American gangster with Denzel Washington. Yeah. Denzel Washington was in the movie, the equalizer with Chloe, with Chloe, Grace, Maritz, Chloe, Grace, Maritz.
00:26:16
Speaker
She was in the movie The Equalizer 2 with Melissa Leo. Okay. Melissa Leo was in the movie Frozen River with Misty Upham. Misty Upham was in the movie August Osage County with Meryl Streep. Meryl Streep was in the movie The River Wild, which is a great one. And actually all those movies are great. Yeah. But Meryl Streep was in the movie of The River Wild with Kevin Bacon. Armando Santé and Kevin Bacon are connected by five degrees of separation.
00:26:51
Speaker
you reminded me of something. Are we using Jimmy GPT for the best way possible for the planet? I have to feel like, I mean, is this, you know, there's hunger, uh, you know, water issues. Obviously there's there's lots of issues that are fall outside of the purview of this, of this humble podcast, but it's fun. So I want to throw out somebody from,
00:27:19
Speaker
the 70s or the 80s. And I'm trying to think. a Actually, I got one right now. And and he's very, very funny. um So the movie Blazing Saddles, which is amazing. um There's so, so many funny actors. I wonder, is it possible? Do you think that Harvey Corman Um, ever was ever as as ever connected to Kevin Bacon. So let's see, this could be the test. jason I can't remember what he played. Harvey Korman was the place, the bad guy in blazing saddles. He works for Mel Brooks's character. He was actually the governor. He's the lieutenant governor. Got it. So, and he was also a contemporary of, uh, Carol Burnett's.
00:28:12
Speaker
Um, again, Mel Brooks, obviously, um, Tim Conway who was Dorff. Tim Conway. Yep. Dorff. They were all there. They're all running buddies. Okay. What do you think the, uh, the degrees are? I'm going to say three. Believe it or not. It is the namesake six degrees. Oh wow. First movie is the one we're talking about blazing saddles. Harvey Corman was in the movie, blazing saddles with Gene Wilder.
00:28:39
Speaker
Gene Wilder was in the movie Star Crazy with Richard Pryor. Richard Pryor was in the movie Silver Streak with Patrick McGuhan. Patrick McGuhan was in the movie Braveheart with Angus McFadden. Angus McFadden, or McFadian, was in the movie Equilibrium with Emily Watson. Emily Watson was in the movie Rails and Ties with Kevin Bacon. Jimmy GPT and Kevin Bacon, you guys did not let us down. They didn't. No, this is great. Amazing.
00:29:18
Speaker
I'm baffled. Not not because of the integrity of Jimmy GPT, but the acumen in which Jimmy GPT was able to reference all of those fine you know works of cinema um at once and have us kind of live through a little bit of ah of a memory there. Not that James couldn't do it,
00:29:41
Speaker
But right it's nice to have. Was it a ah cyber ah friend in this? Yeah. Yeah. But this is I think this is a slippery slope. It does raise ethical, practical and moral. What was that? Yeah, I'm sorry. It raises ethical, moral and practical implications. I'm I'm sorry, but this raises ethical, moral and practical implications. And the thought of someone's emotions being but completely disregarded by a bot ah
00:30:13
Speaker
Well, here's how we can connect to James. Yes. Besides cinema, which we love. Yeah. James also loves music. So I want to do the music six degrees game. Right. But think of of some of the producers that are ultra prolific. Say Dr. Dre. Yeah. Okay. So give me an artist and give me and and we'll connect to Dr. Dre. Was it Niles Rogers?
00:30:39
Speaker
Guaranteed it's like two degrees. Has to be. Yeah. That guy's connected to everybody. Three degrees. Nile Rogers collaborated with David Bowie on the album, Let's Dance. Yep. Amazing, amazing album. Bowie collaborated with Trent Reznor who produced Bowie's album, Outside. Reznor collaborated with Dr. Dre on the song Deep for the Training Day soundtrack. Of course.
00:31:09
Speaker
So Nile Rogers and Dr. Dre are connected by three degrees of separation. I thought it would be closer than that, but maybe yeah ah there's just a lot of, uh, maybe inspiration between the two of them. Yeah, but I look, think about those, think about those three, yeah those four. Yeah. Nile Rogers, David Bowie, Trent Reznor and Dr. Dre. I mean, that's pretty amazing. Yeah, it is. Um, back to the, we are the world.
00:31:39
Speaker
Let's put a little Lionel Richie in the mix. I wonder if Richie and Dre have a connection. What do you think? Of course they do. How many degrees do you think? I'm going to say two. I think it's going to be, I think it's going to be much closer. This I had no idea about the one in the middle. Of course it is referencing Lionel and Michael Jackson.
00:31:59
Speaker
on the song We Are The World. That's the first connection. Yes. MJ and Snoop did a song called Gangsta Love in 2009, which I have never heard. And of course Snoop and Dre collaborated on numerous songs. Nothing but a G thing, still DRE, sure everything. Okay. So Lionel and Dre are connected by three degrees.
00:32:21
Speaker
But I did not know about the MJ and Snoop song gangsta love. I had no idea. I'll have to put that in the ah in the to do list. All right. You want to jump, a jump another genre, let's say. we Give me another music genre that you think of. I mean, like, look, if we pull like Freddie Fender or Herb Alpert in the Gijuana brass. Well, you know, David Foster. Well, David Foster, he's he's he's a genre.
00:32:49
Speaker
But as a producer, you're saying there is a degree of, uh, with, with gray. Yeah. Okay. Well, let's do one more. Dre. When I'm going to pull up Herb Alpert, I'm just, I'm curious. Is it Alpert Albert Alpert, Herb Alpert. Do you think there is a six degrees thing? I don't know. Between Herb because herb and the Tijuana brass, right? This is ridiculous. No, no. How many degrees?
00:33:16
Speaker
Three. That's it. Three degrees. Three degrees between Herb Alpert and Dr. Dre. Yeah. Okay. So first first, this I didn't know. Herb Alpert collaborated with Janet Jackson on the song Diamonds from her album Demita Joe in 04. What? I didn't know. Okay. That's amazing. Of course, Janet collaborated with Tupac right Shakur on the song Poetic Justice. Right.
00:33:46
Speaker
And of course, Tupac Shakur worked with Dr. Dre on several songs, including California Love and the California Love Remix. right right So Herb Alpert and Dr. Dre are connected by three degrees of separation. Wow. I do actually have one in respect to James. Okay. Is this Dre-centric or Foster-centric? It's Dre-centric, so we'll keep okay Dr. Dre. Yeah, we'll stay on the Dre. Yeah, we'll keep it on the Dre tip. Bruce Hornsby.
00:34:14
Speaker
Cause cause of the Tupac connection, right? You got to wonder who produced it, but they didn't actually collaborate because I thought he had passed away and they only sampled his song. and Let's, and what's the Hornsby, um, mandolin rain or man. It's a, I don't know. Uh, James. besors we in the range right Yeah. James knows Bruce Hornsby. Okay. yeah But Hey, you were right.
00:34:44
Speaker
It is it is changes. Yeah, that's two pot. Yeah, so it's two buckets. That is the link. Yeah, two degrees. Wow. All right. Um, how many dres is that? That's pretty good. I kind of like this. This feels good. Like four or five of each. So, okay. So we got Niles is one. Yep. Lionel is two. Yep. Herb is three. Bruce is four. Let's wrap up Dre with a bow. Um, let's go older than Roy.
00:35:12
Speaker
And let's go. I'm thinking I'm thinking like country like and not Hank Williams Jr. I'm talking about like Hank Williams Sr. Yeah. Or Conway Twitty. Conway Twitty. Yep. Is there a link between Conway Twitty and Dr. Dre? There is a link between Conway Twitty and Dr. Dre. That would be amazing. Let's see. Let's see how many degrees. There's got to be. ah It has to be.
00:35:41
Speaker
Wow. This is ridiculous. No. Jason, it's three. Get out of here. Three degrees.
00:35:51
Speaker
Okay. Conway Twitty collaborated with Sam Moore on the song Rainy Night in Georgia. Of course. 1994. Do you know that one? No. Oh, neither. Okay. It's unbelievable.
00:36:07
Speaker
collaborated with Lou Reed on the song Soul Man, 1986. Lou Reed collaborated with Dr. Dre on the song What's the Difference? from the album 2001. So Conway Twitty and Dr. Dre are connected by three degrees of separation. Wow. that is This is unbelievable. Yeah, this is amazing. um Okay, so you want to try David Foster? I think David Foster is a good one. Okay.
00:36:32
Speaker
Um, but, but let's stay on the, um, let's try Hank Williams, senior, Hank Williams, senior and, uh, David Foster and David. Oh, that's a good one. What do you think? I'm thinking four degrees. You think that that many? Yeah. i Well, yeah. ah Hank Williams doing a lot of people. He did. So how many degrees you thinking? I actually, I'll go for, I think you're, I think you're right before. Okay.
00:36:59
Speaker
The eyes have it all four. All right. Okay. Let's see. Now this this might be a little bit tenuous. Okay. I don't know if I use that word right. We'll have to ask James when he comes back on. Hank Williams senior influenced and inspired numerous musicians including Johnny Cash.
00:37:15
Speaker
So inspiration and influence is not the same as directly working together, but we'll get we'll give it a pass. But then Johnny Cash collaborated with Glenn Campbell on various occasions. Again, they did work together, so I just think they're maybe not identifying. And then Glenn Campbell collaborated with Dionne Warwick on the song, I Say a Little Prayer, 1968.
00:37:37
Speaker
And then Dionne Warwick worked with David Foster to produce several of her albums and songs. So Hank Williams Sr. and David Foster are connected by four degrees of separation. So that I would say is likely, it probably is still four, but that first one about Hank Williams influencing, inspiring Johnny Cash.
00:37:56
Speaker
Uh, it's maybe that Jimmy GPT, it just doesn't have the, the data on that. So, but it's probably, it's actually probably stronger than tenuous. I bet you it's a pretty good connection. So we'll go for, throw another foster at us. Jose Feliciano. Come on. You, you love to say Jose Feliciano. It's such a good word. It's such a good guy. Jose Feliciano and David Foster. Foster six degrees. Okay. What are you thinking? I'm going to say, I'm going to say two or three.
00:38:26
Speaker
They both are really talented musicians. I'm sure that there's some Christmas collaboration he probably used. Well, it's four. Oh, so Jose Feliciano, Jose Feliciano collaborated with Christina Aguilera on the song El Utumadios 2000.
00:38:45
Speaker
Christina or Xtina, as she used to be called, collaborated with Andrea Bocelli on the song Somos Novios. It's impossible. oh yeah Bocelli collaborated with Celine Dion and the song The Prayer, and Celine Dion worked with David Foster on numerous occasions where where he was producing many of her albums and songs. So, okay, four degrees. Okay. That's actually not too bad. ah Let's go let's go like hard, hard rock, heavy metal. like Iron Maiden like Iron Maiden. Yeah, Iron Maiden and well Bruce Dickinson is a pretty prolific producer in his own right Yeah, yeah but I was gonna say you could either go that or you could go Judas Priest. Well, we'll try it. We'll try Iron Maiden that's we'll good Iron Maiden would be pretty good just to think of Eddie hanging out with you know, David Foster and
00:39:30
Speaker
ah This is actually five degrees. Okay. Okay. So Ironman guitarist Adrian Smith collaborated with Bruce Dickinson on the song Man of Sorrows from Dickinson's solo album, The Chemical Wedding. Bruce Dickinson collaborated with Jack Black on the song The Road from the album Tyranny of Souls. ah Black carot collaborated with Neil Diamond in the film Saving Silverman, which also is in my top 20. It's an amazingly funny movie.
00:39:57
Speaker
You'll diamond work with biver strikes and on the song you don't bring me flowers and strikes and work with foster produce several problems okay that's fine it's pretty good actually the fact that there is the adrian smith connection. Yeah was yeah cuz you're right you just called it you said bruce dickinson. Right and what was the more cowbell right. I'm bruce dickinson baby.
00:40:27
Speaker
We brought up another another another game in a second. And by game, I mean, again, for the yes for the two listeners. Thanks, Dad. And whoever else whoever else can't find the off button on there on their phone. Appreciate the help there, Martina McBride. We really... Yes. We're sorry we haven't referenced you. Martina McBride and I have a share a birthday. Did you know that? Really? yeah Maybe Martina McBride and David Foster should be our next one. Okay. I like it. And I'm I'm trying to count, did we get to five fosters yet? Hank has won, Jose is due.
00:41:03
Speaker
Well, not beers. We're not drinking Foster's beers, Foster's, Foster's long most is log. The beer that Australians really don't drink. At least that's what they always say. you know what Australians that want to be fancy, you know what coffee they order? What's that? Cortado.
00:41:19
Speaker
oh voltado yeah Oh, oh you you know you must be Australian. Cortado. We talked about Russell Crowe earlier. with, uh, American gangster and he's Australian. and He's also a musician steve there's russell gru and David Foster link. Yes. Well, let's, we gotta, we gotta do five Foster. So Hank is one, Jose is two, uh, iron maiden is three. Okay. So we'll do Martina and then, uh, and, uh, and crow. Okay. So Martina McBride and David Foster son of a bitch, six degrees. Really? Yep.
00:42:01
Speaker
Martina McBride collaborated with Bob Seger on the song Chances Are. Get the hell out of here. Bob Seger and Martina McBride. Bob Seger's amazing. By the way, I love to listen to the song Hollywood Nights. Driving at night with the windows down and the cool air blasting. It's amazing if you can actually be in Southern California on PCH or wherever, but even in spite of that,
00:42:30
Speaker
With the windows down, listening to Hollywood nights. Yep. Obviously we're responsible. So we would never exceed the speed limit, but as close to the speed limit as possible. Um, it is amazing. I do the same thing. It's one thing. That's one degree of separation is named something that you and your brother do.
00:42:48
Speaker
with Hollywood nights and I go, I like to drive and listen to that song of the windows down at night, that like crisp, humid air. Yeah. Oh man. There's nothing like it. And then that, you know, you're, you're right. Um, uh, accelerating up to the speed limit.
00:43:05
Speaker
Yeah, it's just amazing. ah By the way, Martina McBride does have my birthday July 29. Happy birthday, Martina. Whenever this episode airs, hopefully you enjoyed your birthday. Okay, that's a back to my GPT allows us to do it. Okay, so Martina and Foster six degrees. Martina and Seeger. That's one. Bob Seeger with Kid Rock.
00:43:28
Speaker
Um, that's two kid rock and show crow. Uh, that's three on the song picture show crow and Michael Jackson on the song. I just can't stop loving you. And then Michael Jackson with Barbara Streisand and Barbara Streisand and David Foster. So six degrees. Wow. Wow. So, uh, Russell Crowe, this could be the one that breaks Jimmy GPT. It might be Russell Crowe.
00:43:54
Speaker
Thank you, Karen. By the way, I know you're not listening to this, but I know Jeff's going to play this particular part of the podcast for you to listen to, to come up with this magnificent idea. It was amazing. Seriously. I i thought this was going to be fun. Yeah. This has been in in dad's ah ah best. This is a hoot. It's a hoot. Well, Jason. Yes.
00:44:21
Speaker
Sometimes that life hands you lemons. You get the most glorious lemonade. What do we got here? Four connections. Come on. Nope. For an established artist, Martina McBride. Yes. Wow. Okay. So, so there's also another throwback. Okay. Russell Crowe, star in the movie, Lemise with Hugh Jackman, another famous Australian. Correct.
00:44:50
Speaker
Hugh Jackman started the movie Australia with Nicole Kidman, another famous Australian, I think. Right. So that's three Australians. Nicole Kidman started the movie The Stepford Wives with Bette Midler, who famously is not Australian. She appreciates Australians. Correct. but She herself is not Australian. Very musical, though. who's Super musical. Yes. Wait, Bette Midler musical. Yeah. I mean, she did The Wind Beneath My Wings. That's right. Yeah.
00:45:18
Speaker
And then, of course, Bette Midler worked with David Foster, who produced her album Bette Midler Sings the Rosemary Clooney Songbook. Yeah. 2003. So they are connected by four degrees. And Rosemary Clooney is interesting because she is George Clooney's aunt. who And George Clooney was referenced earlier through the JLo, Brad Pitt,
00:45:40
Speaker
connection. I think we, look, maybe we just pivot. We don't use James at all anymore. We just play this game with Jimmy GPT. This has been a good game. I'm wondering if people that have listened, the three people that are listening, if they've been shouting, uh, just out loud at whatever places that they're at, like it's, it's bad. There's a connection. Right. right on Pull the car over, start googling. So. Exactly. Wow. OK, now. So we got so who Sue Sue, who have we six agreed? So we six agreed. Kevin Bacon. um Yeah, he's the OG. Oh, gee it it begins and ends with Kevin Bacon. Correct. And we then we did Dre. I didn't forget about Dre. Did you? Of course. Well, I've never forgotten about Dre. He's amazing.
00:46:38
Speaker
So I have a new connection to think about. Martina McBride in your birthday? Well, no, I mean, that's amazing. But what about because you mentioned Christopher Walken and the Walken connection would be, I think, fairly, fairly easy to do because he also like Bacon is a very prolific actor. Sure. But let's think Saturday Night Live for a second.
00:47:03
Speaker
Okay. We love Saturday Night Live as kids. I still enjoy it. I don't know if you've watched it of late. Um, it's got some ups and downs like any show, but I think generally they're still hitting pretty hard. They're still doing pretty, pretty well. Yeah. So what I want to think about is ah SNL. So let's think about, um, uh, one time guests or one time, like either one time hosts or one time musical guests on SNL, right?
00:47:33
Speaker
Okay. Um, so here's what I mean. So SNL one time only hosts. Uh, well, I mean, there's a bunch, but here's what it said. So notable examples, Louie, Louise Lasser. She hosted SNL on July 24th, 1976. Okay. A few days before Martina and I's birthday, um, during the shows. Well, and I wasn't born yet, but yeah we'll just keep it. Yeah.
00:48:03
Speaker
She, she, she hosted it once during the show's first season. yeah She's best known for her role in the television television series, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. Okay. Uh-huh. We got another connection to Oceans 11. Elliot Gould hosted SNL once January 10th, 1976, also during the first season. Of course, he was in Mash, Oceans 11, Hangover. He was also very famously on Friends, which has a connection to Brad Pitt as well. Of course, Oceans 11.
00:48:32
Speaker
um And then this one, I did not know. Milton Berle hosted SNL in 1979. Again, my birth year. So happy birthday to me again. um So yeah, that's amazing. So so three one-time hosts that are listed, and it says there's many. um How about musical guests? Give me a guest that you think has been on an SNL. Millie Vanilli.
00:49:00
Speaker
I think Millie Vanilli actually was on SNL. You said has or has not. Has, has, has been on. Yeah. Yeah. I thought that they were. Oh wow. Now this is wild. Millie Vanilli appeared on SNL as musical guests on Guess the Day. August 15th, 1990. 1990. Wow, Jason, that's really good. Yeah. 1990 is the year. Yeah. But the day march seventeenth a day before your birthday yeah that is crazy girl you know it's true
00:49:34
Speaker
That is actually the song that they they sang or lip synced possibly on their on their show. Oh, wow. That's amazing. OK, Millie Vanilli. Wow, this is going really well. Again, I think I don't know. Jimmy Chibiti is is ah coming pretty hard to the hoop. I'm going to guess ah Third Eye Blind. You think Third Eye Blind was not on SNL? No, maybe they were actually. They had to have been on at least once back back in the 90s.
00:50:04
Speaker
They were not. Well, it says Third Eye Blind has never been the musical guest on SNL as of my last update in January 2022. January 2022, Jimmy GPT, what are you doing? and You're two years behind. Well, so we're like 30 years behind. We've only been talking about a Police Academy. And to make fair so for us yeah so sit here and judge Jimmy GPT with the ones, you know, yeah But ive I've wanted to hear, you know, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Well, OK, so now that you know that there is a pretty famous third eye blind song used in a movie, right? but That's like the most famous one, right?
00:50:46
Speaker
Yes. No, I think it's jumper jumper. um Oh yeah. I wish you could step that one. Yeah. Yep. You remember the movie? Uh, city of angels. No, I'm kidding. i don't know which No, the movie. Yes, man. With ah Jim Carrey. Oh, that's right. It's an amazing. It's an amazing scene. Yeah.
00:51:13
Speaker
One notable appearance yeah because he you know he's he talks the guy, he's trying to talk the guy off the ledge by singing singing that song. so yeah Yeah. But it says additionally, Jumper has been using various other films and TV shows often to underscore a dramatic or emotional moment due to its poignant lyrics and melody. um okay That was a pretty good guess. so Third Eye Blind has never been on SNL. Never has. Has Weird Al ever done SNL?
00:51:39
Speaker
Maybe I don't know. Let's, let's ask Jimmy GPT and SNL. Holy smokes. He has a notable history with SNL while he has never been a cast member. He has made multiple appearances on the show. Really? So I guess he did. So that's kind of weird. And this is where Jimmy GPT still has some opportunities. He did, uh, perform in 1984 during season 10 episode hosted by Michael McKeon.
00:52:08
Speaker
Okay. Now, didn't we talk about Michael McKeon earlier? or We had some reference to... Michael McKeon's in almost everything. um For me... What? Go ahead. Coneheads. He was so good. I love him in Best in Show. That's a good one too. He's amazing too. I i mean, Coneheads is amazing too. Yeah.
00:52:27
Speaker
And Coneheads had Dan Aykroyd. Dan Aykroyd. There you go. See? And Jane Curtin. Yep. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. And Chris Farley. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. All right. So, 85. Yeah. He comes back to SNL season 11, the year of your birth. Yep. It was hosted by Harry Dean Stanton. Now, that is an SNL host that people have forgotten about. He performed I Lost on Jeopardy. Yeah. Hey, amazing.
00:52:56
Speaker
He, in 1992, shows up in season 17, hosted by Jerry Seinfeld, which is amazing. One of my comedy inspirations. yeah And he performs Smells Like Nirvana, his parody of Nirvana, Smells Like Teen Spirit. And then in 2003, he was featured in a SNL Weird Al's three-day House of Pancakes digital short during the season 28 episode hosted by Jack Black, who we referenced earlier.
00:53:25
Speaker
Wow. Okay. This is pretty cool. So SNL. So we've, how many SNLs do we do? So a lot. We did the hosts. That was a few. Millie Vanilli is two. Third Eye Blind is three.
Alec Baldwin's SNL Record
00:53:38
Speaker
Yep. Weird Al is four. So we need one more SNL. So who's the person who's hosted the most? Is it John Goodman? He's hosted a lot. Tom Hanks. I think it is Tom Hanks. So let's see. ah SNL most.
00:53:55
Speaker
Now, this says as of January 2022, it's Alec Baldwin. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It says he has hosted a seven through January 2022. He's hosted 17 times. Again, the record 17. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Okay. That's another one of those actors who's just been in like everything. He's very, very prolific.
00:54:26
Speaker
This has been fun. all right we we Look, I feel bad because we've pretty much been talking to Jimmy GPT this whole time and we haven't been talking to each other. Yeah. But I also want to involve the third person or the third object in this case, right? Jimmy GPT really came in in the clutch when Jimmy, our brother is living it up with dad and day, our stepmom, you know, they're having this great time. Yeah.
00:54:52
Speaker
He's, he's, he's having, uh, was it, uh, uh, oysters, uh, I'll have more lobster tail, please. Yeah. More lobster tail gallops. What's the, uh, oysters. What's the fancy one where they put the check about oysters Rockefeller.
00:55:08
Speaker
Yes. Rockefeller, please. I don't like the Rockefeller, my oysters. Yeah. ah Exactly. He's partying. He's partying with the Goot and Kevin Bacon and and and living his high flying living, living his Hollywood nights, actually. That's that. You know what, Jason, that that's really, yeah, he's having Hollywood nights.
00:55:34
Speaker
Those hollywood hills and yeah and meanwhile you and i are hanging out with jimmy gpt. Yeah and the ghost of bruce dickenson and the ghost of bruce dickenson allegedly ordered more cowbell so i gotta figure out with bruce dickenson how many records.
00:55:53
Speaker
Really though. Do you really want to know? Well, we'll ask you really want to know the last Jimmy GPT reference should be, cause who was, who was, who do you think was more popular? Bruce Dickinson or ah David Foster? Oh, well, I would just say Bruce Dickinson ah producer credits, right? I think Dave Foster is the most prolific producer of all time. Has to be. Yeah. This doesn't, uh,
00:56:20
Speaker
Yeah, this is, I probably don't know how to word it, right? How many... Well, you wrote it in crayon. Yes. So... Yeah, on the on the keyboard. How many records has Bruce Dickinson produced?
00:56:39
Speaker
No, Jeff, the purple crayon. Use the purple crayon. have been trying to use red. Yeah, it's out of it's it keeps saying January 2022 several albums exact numbers not readily available. Well, that's right. okay How many because that whole David Foster and friends the tour that he's done. I mean, he's got a huge amount of people.
00:56:59
Speaker
David Foster is a prolific producer who's worked on numerous albums throughout his career, spending several decades. While it's challenging to provide an exact count of how many records he has produced due to the extensive nature of his discography, it is safe to say that he has been involved in the production of hundreds of albums. I would believe that. Yeah. Yeah, I believe it. That's amazing.
00:57:19
Speaker
um I think Diplo also probably same sort of thing where he's just. Diplo is under. almost has to be. yeah yeah we we This is a rabbit hole. oh yeah Jimmy GPT, thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Jimmy GPT, if we didn't have to wrestle with the moral, ethical, and practical implications of replacing our brother James with Jimmy GPT,
00:57:49
Speaker
Um, we would, yeah, we would definitely, um, we bring you in the fan for sure. I would, uh, I would say take a poll, but it's two versus one at that point. And that's not fair to James. No. Yeah. We shouldn't go to him off the Island. No, not yet. On a, from a very practical standpoint, we do need him to edit. Um,
00:58:10
Speaker
So, so, so, so James, James, as you're listening to this, um please stop crunching. You know, it's like he's crunching ice while he's why he's just slowly ripping pieces off of his key tar.
00:58:27
Speaker
yeah yeah so yes so Oh, I thought, yes. I thought you were calling back to the eyebrow, you know, like if every time, every time really got right so he just got, so by the end of this editing, by the end of editing this first episode, not this first episode, this, this, by the end of editing this episode, the first time he will just have one eyebrow and because he will have been plucking an eyebrow hair off. One one hair at a time. If they say that I'm not Jimmy GBT one more time. Wait till the goot hears about this. Yeah, exactly. Don't worry James. You're living it up with dad and day.
00:59:10
Speaker
Right and so meanwhile jason and i take the big potato yeah yeah oh with with extra sour cream perhaps please hold the bacon bits please that's just too ostentatious for me. um But i will take the love crab on top of my. filee That's right, Jason. Meanwhile, you and I have had to keep each other warm, not physically, but you with the candle where you did almost lose an eyebrow earlier and and me with the light of the monitor.
00:59:47
Speaker
he did I'm just, uh, I'm just glad your home waxing kit went well. this time this is good the ah Wow. The, the, and the warmth of the glow of the monitor with Jimmy GPT.
01:00:07
Speaker
Is what's keeping us keeping us warm while while james is watching then flambé something and cherries jubilee and at least at least two soufflés perhaps a ah vanilla bean Or grandma souffle and a chocolate souffle perhaps. Absolutely so absolutely i love that yeah um well this is been fun this is great jeff i'm glad that we still kept on and regen special thanks to karen for.
01:00:40
Speaker
given the inspiration to ah Two Ring Circus Maximus plus yeah Jimmy GPT. This has been phenomenal. yeah Thanks, honey. We love you. Thank you for ah for this suggestion. It was amazing. I hope that James does not edit this part out because I definitely need to make deposits in the emotional bank account. So it's true.
