Introduction of Hosts
00:00:13
Speaker
Welcome back to Fuck You Boomer. i am your host, Michaela, and I'm here with my co-host, my Papa Dennis. Say hello. Hello.
00:00:24
Speaker
Hello. How are you doing today, Papa? I'm doing really, really good. Yeah?
Living with Diabetes: Personal Experiences
00:00:31
Speaker
Yeah, the type 2 is working out okay with the extra stuff I got on my arm and this thing I got. So we're doing okay right now.
00:00:39
Speaker
I know what not to eat and what to eat. And I'm trying to learn more about my education and how your pancreas works. See, but are you going to follow your dietary restrictions? Oh, I'm going to try. going to try so hard.
00:00:53
Speaker
I'm going to try so hard. And even when I come to all of our family reunions and you guys lay out the big old cake in front of me, the sheet cake, and you say, how big a piece do you want, Papa? And I go, uh.
00:01:06
Speaker
no, we never ask you. we give you paper thin slivers. No, it's so thin. It's so thin. And we always use monk fruit sugar because we're very considerate of our diet. That is what is in right now in this tea I'm having.
00:01:23
Speaker
Do you still make tea where you get like the frozen juices
Budget-Friendly Iced Tea Recipe
00:01:28
Speaker
and then you mix it with gallon of water? No, no, no, no, no. Because I'm a cheap bastard, that isn't going to fly anymore.
00:01:35
Speaker
I'm on fixed income and this is how it works. you got yourself You got yourself basically a 28-ounce empty jar that we used to have like Bumum's apple juice in, right?
00:01:47
Speaker
Okay. And then after I've cleaned the label off and rinsed it all out, super hot water and everything like that, I drop in two things of tea. Okay. ah You know, two tea bags go in it.
00:02:01
Speaker
Okay. And then two small teaspoons, level teaspoons of monk fruit go in it. And then it fills up with nice cold water gently because you throw it up too fast. You'll blow the bags open, right?
00:02:12
Speaker
You don't want all that tea floating around. So you fill it really gently, bring it up, put the cap back on nice and tight, turn it upside down like that. Let the monk fruit, you can see it at the bottom of the jar. It now flows down a little bit. It helps it dissolve and flip it back again.
00:02:26
Speaker
And then put it in the refrigerator for 24 hours. And I have four of them I make. Four. Different flavors or all the same? i it's It's like mystery flavor. It's kind of cool. yeah take that You take the tea bags out of the box they're in.
00:02:40
Speaker
So what you do is you mix them up in this other Ziploc bag so you don't know what you're having. So it's a surprise. it's like It's like a Russian roulette of tea. on tea Okay.
00:02:52
Speaker
And then it's cheap. It's reasonably really, really inexpensive because of the, of the box of tea that you're getting, you could get 20 bags in there or maybe even 40, depending on your box size, get them on sale for like three 50 when two for seven bucks or whatever.
00:03:08
Speaker
And then bingo, bango, you got your tea, different flavors. Hopefully you won't get bored with it because it is different flavors. And then you go, you know, like that. Okay. Okay.
Boredom in Mammals vs Human ADHD
00:03:19
Speaker
but I don't know what it is about mammals and boredom.
00:03:21
Speaker
Okay. This might go off the subject a little bit, but that cat, right? We just got tapia, a little bit of tapia prescription diet, gave it to her. Boy, she just loved it. Got into two and a half cans of it. Well, we got a third can.
00:03:33
Speaker
The last half of the third can is like, what the hell is this stuff? yeah And so, my mom is mixing in the tuna with it. Okay. Oh, okay. Okay. i'll I'll eat it now.
00:03:44
Speaker
It's like, you're worrying, her appetite finally going? Is it going to be time? Right? Yeah. Yeah. Because it is getting to be time with the kidney failure once you're working on one kidney. Like all cats usually end up in that situation somehow, some way a lot of times. so I think it's not a sense of boredom. I think because in in terms of just mammals altogether, not let's just not say animals. Let's say it's humans and four-legged critters.
00:04:09
Speaker
You know what it is? It's ADHD. They don't know what to focus on. That's what it is. There might be some of that. It could be early kitten dementia too, cat dementia, the way she acts sometimes. But here's the thing.
00:04:23
Speaker
I honestly think it's because when you got too much, right then you become bored. I don't want to go to that restaurant. I've already been there two times this last month.
00:04:34
Speaker
The weird server that I had last time was a total fucking dick. Yeah. So you get into this stuff like this and it's like, come on, man. It's like, you know, but when you
Societal Abundance and Dissatisfaction
00:04:44
Speaker
don't have to hunt for your food, you know, go out like I told you before with a club, you know, and beat it to the ground and you're super hungry.
00:04:51
Speaker
Then it's like, yeah you know, it's like we got too much in this country, right? You got too much. If you got too much, you're bored with it. It's like everything. I'm bored with that.
00:05:04
Speaker
with Don't get me. i I'm going to get started again. I'm sorry. No, it's 100% true. It's like that's so last season. It was so trendy then. Now it's like that's just. Does the jacket still fit? Yeah.
00:05:17
Speaker
Does it still keep you warm? Yeah. Oh, it's so out of style. I can't wear that. I can't be seen with that. Oh, my God. Tiffany was wearing it, so I can't wear anymore because I'm going to look like a copycat.
00:05:29
Speaker
Yeah. It's like, what the hell? You know you got too much if you ever say that. With old people like me, it's like, I don't give a shit what I'm wearing. I don't care. Is it keeping me warm? Yeah, it's good.
00:05:41
Speaker
I don't care what anybody says because no one's looking at you. You ever seen that? I know you don't watch it, but Matlock, the one that's on now, it's all about an old lady being... invisible. You get to a certain age, you're invisible.
00:05:53
Speaker
You're not trendy. You're not, you know i mean? People don't look at you anymore. And there are, you know what? There is a freedom to that. There is such a freedom to that, that you don't even realize it because you're not in the market to be look good.
00:06:08
Speaker
You know, got to attract a woman really No, I got it. The only point I got to be attracted to is my wife. And so the reason why i am all of a sudden I got a haircut. See, i see that. Didn't you also, she has to look at me.
00:06:22
Speaker
You tamed your beard a little bit too, huh? I cleaned up a little bit all for the podcast because I'm worried about what people think. Bullshit. I did it for her. You're trying to get lucky. Here we are.
Social Media Algorithms' Potential Impact
00:06:35
Speaker
Okay. Oh God, you're hilarious. No, but actually it's, Just a quick question. Do you think that because you were at a point, like when social media actually became relevant and a part of our lives and what we were breathing and drinking and eating every single day, like if do you think that like if you were younger and were actually more interested in these platforms, do you think that you would be as mind-controlled as we are? Yeah.
00:07:07
Speaker
in terms of being obsessed with social media image. oh Yes. And you grew up with it and all that stuff. I honestly believe because the algorithms, everything that's used, On stuff.
00:07:18
Speaker
You know, I look at stuff on, ooh, that nasty old thing, Facebook, you know, right? Yeah. All that stuff. And then what are my algorithms? Oh, baseball, hot girls, you know, that sort of thing that you click on every once in a I'm a guy. Okay. ASMR.
00:07:34
Speaker
I was looking at, yeah, ASMR, hot girls too that put me to sleep. Okay. Okay. But anyway, hey, listen listen up. Then your mom, ah your bum mom's looking at stuff, right? And all of a sudden I was on her Facebook and just logging out and all of a sudden it's guys with big, big bulges and muscles. And she's going, why am I getting this shit?
00:07:52
Speaker
I said, you're getting it because you joined the algorithm of every while, if you looked at one or two of them, and you're kind of going, that can't be real. That bulge can't real. She's got to clear the cash. She's got to clear the cash.
00:08:05
Speaker
The search history has to go. It's not even the search history. it's It's the history that's in Facebook. You can clean yours clean your own search search history on your computer, but they already got the info, what you looked at.
00:08:17
Speaker
It don't matter. I know. You go into Facebook and it's it's being hidden away somewhere in any of the individual social media things are being hidden away of what your algorithms are, what you looked at and who they're going to pop out there again at yeah you. know yeah Yeah.
00:08:32
Speaker
My Instagram algorithm is like fashion. Buying shit. Interior design. And then like a bunch of long-haired mini dachshunds.
00:08:50
Speaker
Long-haired mini dachshunds. And kitty cats. oh yeah Oh, yeah. I like the cat ones too. They're funny. And then I show them i show them to her, you know. yeah I show them to Bum-Aum and she thinks some of them are funny. Sometimes I even forward it on to her, you know, in a message thing and on Facebook and she gets a kick out of it.
00:09:07
Speaker
That's okay. Dan said he ah he saw a video of um ah a tuxedo cat and um on Instagram or TikTok or something. And the video was the owner was trying to close the cat's tuxedo jacket on their fur. Like, but clo like you distinguished little gentleman.
00:09:28
Speaker
you've had They put a little bow tie on him too. I got bow ties for Figaro. Oh, did you? Got a black one and a red one. What do you think of those ones that are almost that are made for cats already? Like the Batman mask that goes on?
00:09:42
Speaker
Oh, the guy that 3D prints them. And then you're like, oh, those are cool. But he when I... Those are actually kind of funny. And when the cat is looking out, it's like, what the hell? And they did the one. It's one that was going around a long time. It was like, meow, meow. And then he puts it on and it's like, meow, meow.
00:10:00
Speaker
You know, like he's Bat-Cat or something, right? meow meow you know those ah those are funny you know people are real imaginative you know and those are funny so every once while we need a break and laugh ready wait i'm cat man yeah exactly i'm cat man yes um another one that i've been laughing at lately because it's an algorithm and it keeps popping up is uh megatron coming out there down there at uh You know, down in Hollywood, right? at Universal.
00:10:32
Speaker
And some of his stuff is funny. I mean, he's pretty good, you know. He is good. That guy deserves a raise. Yeah. when he's When he's cutting down people and stuff like that, you know. Yeah.
00:10:44
Speaker
That and the, like, the velociraptor stuff where, like, they're taking a picture with it and then they, like, go and attack you. Like, that shit, no. Yeah. That person's working overtime.
00:10:56
Speaker
Definitely. Overtime.
Debate on Extending Bar Hours in California
00:11:00
Speaker
Okay, let's get into today's topic because we are just having too much fun talking about all kinds of nonsense here.
00:11:09
Speaker
So with me being a San Franciscan now and you being a former San Franciscan. First 20 years of my life, yeah. First 20 years of your life so it has happened in the past. It has not been obviously implemented because it's been rejected several times.
00:11:30
Speaker
um But it got introduced in the state assembly that they are trying to extend the last call to 4 a.m. m for bars in California, um San Francisco being one of the main target areas.
00:11:46
Speaker
Yeah, and L.A., I imagine, would be the other. San Jose, yeah all the big population centers. Basically, this specific law bill,
00:11:57
Speaker
Whatever this is, how they're going to, if it actually gets passed, who knows what they're, it basically it's in the hands of the business owners within the whole the whole state. um the They basically want them to be in hospitality zones because they're trying to cultivate a more lively economical area for tourism.
00:12:19
Speaker
um If there are residents in that area, they want to provide, you know, more economical growth for their neighborhood, stuff like that. Um, I can see pros and cons for both of these things.
00:12:32
Speaker
Having been working in the industry, the alcoholic beverage industry for over a year now, for me on the marketing sales aspect of things, I'm like, that'd be great. These businesses are going to be open longer. They're going to have more cashflow, being able to provide more options so they can, you know, buy our product. Right.
00:12:52
Speaker
But as someone who lives in an area that I'm already surrounded by lots of bars, speakeasies, lounges and hotels, I don't want to deal with the fucking noise pollution of this shit.
00:13:10
Speaker
This is where I'm sounding like a baby boomer. I'm like, don't, I don't want to be waking up. Okay. For instance, I'm already getting used to all the shit that's on the sidewalks. I don't want to see puke, okay?
00:13:23
Speaker
I don't want a combination of both. Can I just get one or the other? Can I just get or the other? Well, it's either that, honey, or you go to work, or you walk in the neighborhood with big old huge you know boots that go up, rubberized, that you can just rinse off with a hose afterwards, right?
00:13:46
Speaker
Watch where you're stepping, but sometimes it's all over. I know. Hey, listen, um some of my thoughts on it, um even say, for example, if it's going to be restricted in municipalities is one thing, but if it's going to be statewide and you're going to have a country bar on a country road that's open,
00:14:06
Speaker
you know, until four in the morning. there's going to be some regulars. I'm sure that the individual, say, for example, county sheriffs are going to be aware of when those individual bars stop serving and when they're going to, you know, just like they do now if it comes to 2 a.m. So it might be a situation where, oh great, the wrecks are going to happen more between 4 a.m.
00:14:28
Speaker
and sunrise at 6 a.m. during the summer months. Or are the wrecks going to happen when it's dark, dark? So if you're talking about responding to an emergency, say, for example, an emergency first responder like a fire department responding to a car in the ditch and somebody's head went through the windshield because they were dumb enough not to fasten their safety belts, then you're looking at, okay, it's going to be a little bit lighter to do my job. I'll be able to see more.
00:14:53
Speaker
ha That's sad. it is sad. ah honestly think the money aspect of it, there's going to be lobbying that's going to happen in Sacramento. This always goes on. And you're going to find that I wouldn't be surprised that it does pass because of money.
00:15:09
Speaker
Money in Sacramento being pushed to certain legislatures to buy their votes. Sorry, I'm a person that believes that that happens, you know. And also, I think that um because of that, there's going to be more money generated through the sale of alcohol at the local level um later in the evening and stuff.
00:15:30
Speaker
Here's the thing about booze. You know how expensive of it is and how much markup there is for a drink and how much they get out of one quart. It's amazing. Those licenses are not cheap.
00:15:42
Speaker
liquor licenses and they take a while to get so these people that are going to be serving booze between 2 a.m to up to maybe what 3 30 last call kind of a scenario yeah that's to clean up and they do want to go home i'm wondering on the other end is it going to affect when bars open that's what i was thinking too they're going to have to reevaluate their scheduling and like okay well if they're going to be open mean later like they're going to be closing later like Do they stay open at the same time? Also, who's going to want to be working until 4 a.m.?
00:16:15
Speaker
I feel like 2 a.m. is kind of like that perfect little sweet spot. But 4 a.m., might as well just stay up for another two hours, and then it's like brand new fucking day. Yeah, it's like, are they going to do that? Well, I don't know who wants to be on there the grave swing is what they'll call it. you know Are you on the grave swing?
00:16:35
Speaker
Yeah, I start at 4 a.m., and I've just decided to. Keep the bar open until like, I'm not going to serve any more alcohol until what? Nine in the morning? I don't know.
00:16:46
Speaker
When does the official start to serve right now? When the bars close at 2 a.m.? m ah Can you walk into a bar? depends. So let me look, because we have a bar just downstairs from our place.
00:16:58
Speaker
Let me look. I think they open at like 11. okay. um But let me check. For us, I know that we're open...
00:17:10
Speaker
We open at 11. Yep, they open at 11. They're 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Okay, so that might be the situation it's going to be the same opening time. I feel sorry for anybody that's having to close a bar and then officially lock the doors at 4 a.m., m but they've done a lot of cleanup, you know, for half an hour, still got to clean some more and do what they got to do and maybe get out of there at 4.15.
00:17:31
Speaker
Oh, by the way, you got to be back to work at 11, before 11, the next morning to open up. Because Sandra isn't taking the shift. Sandra's just called in, you know, sick. And it's like, oh, man.
00:17:44
Speaker
Well, the thing is, though, is that, yeah, the they close their doors at 4 a.m., m but there's a lot of work that goes into actually, like, breaking down a bar after their doors are closed, that they're not out of there in 15 minutes. They are there for another hour at least.
00:17:58
Speaker
At least. Yeah. but yeah the I guess the pro side of this bill is that this would only apply on weekends and holidays like that would like in that specific timeframe.
00:18:10
Speaker
And they're saying that this would actually start the new year in 2026. So if they were to only limit this to weekends, I could see more of the pro side.
00:18:23
Speaker
But um with some field research that I've done specifically for my industry – There is a very, very steady decline in alcohol consumption, especially in the younger generation.
00:18:36
Speaker
um People that are probably like 21 to 25, they are based on this research, they are not wanting to consume alcohol because they associate going to certain places with their parents because their parents had brought them to these family-friendly bars, breweries, whatever,
00:18:57
Speaker
that allowed children to be there and they don't want to go there because, oh, my mommy and my daddy hung out there. That's kind of weird. um That's an interesting family dynamic.
00:19:09
Speaker
ah Exactly. We're not talking like France. We're talking the United States. I'm talking about the United States. I'm not talking – They're literally bottle-fed a fucking bottle of nice Bordeaux red wine in France.
00:19:24
Speaker
But no, here – we're also seeing a lot more sober, curious younger and individuals where they're not seeing the benefit of drinking alcohol. And let's be honest, there's no benefit to drinking alcohol.
00:19:37
Speaker
It just tastes good and it makes you feel good, but you should also know if it makes you feel too good and you want it all the time, you shouldn't really be drinking it. But, and he Oh yeah, exactly.
00:19:48
Speaker
Alcohol is a drug. Um, but it, I do think that like if they think this is going to actually create and cultivate a more economical um upside positive in these neighborhoods, there I think it's going to be very 50-50. I don't think there's one side weighing more than the other.
00:20:08
Speaker
like There aren't a lot of people that are wanting to stay out until 4 a.m. I get too fucking tired. but sir Let's go the other way in Sacramento for a second because if the money doesn't do it,
00:20:21
Speaker
the religious aspect will shut it down of any kind of moral
Politics and Influence on Legislation
00:20:26
Speaker
thing. Because there'll be people in the assembly districts that'll say, what are you doing? my My son died from alcoholism, or he was killed by a drunk driver.
00:20:34
Speaker
just You know what i mean? You're going to have those people depend how organized they are at these individual legislatures to stop them, no matter how much. So there is that aspect of it. So that relates to religion, which relates to the next topic that you want to get into,
00:20:52
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. That has to do with the, the, the, the leader of the Catholic church right now is going to, is passed away. So yeah. RIP.
Critique of Political Figures and Religion
00:21:02
Speaker
I know I make a joke of it, but JD Vance was just too much of a visit to handle over a period of time.
00:21:09
Speaker
You know, i actually, before we started this phone call, I saw a meme where it was like JD Vance fumbles the, the Ohio state trophy. And then all of a sudden goes and visits the, the,
00:21:22
Speaker
The freaking Vatican and the Pope and then he dies. Like there's some bad, like little voodoo mojo going on with that. Yeah. yeah Yeah. Can you hand Donald Trump his Coke, please? His Diet Coke, his Diet Pepsi, whatever he's drinking?
00:21:37
Speaker
And his um ah Big Mac and Yeah, can you please just serve him, please, a lot? See what happens? With his 4.8% body fat. Yeah, so I think they'll they'll probably pick a Cardinal. usually takes him anywhere from a week to like six weeks. and it's only It's only really interesting what goes on behind closed doors, and it is a political pick.
00:21:59
Speaker
Believe me, it is. um This idea, too, that... you know, Marjorie Taylor asshole ah called, a you know, a woke Pope or whatever the fuck that means. Oh yeah. It means like maybe he was into the teaching of Jesus. You dumb shit.
00:22:14
Speaker
Let's get into that. You want to talk about the teachings of Jesus. I went to a Jesuit school and, you know, that's called the society of Jesus basically is what it is. And Jesuits are into the teaching of him.
00:22:28
Speaker
Their new Testament big time is what they are. Okay. Okay. And so the school that I went to um very much so dealt with that. And there was a religious aspect, obviously, to it.
00:22:40
Speaker
There was a moral aspect of going there and what they expected of you as being a citizen of this country. And it was not what this administration is doing. You know, ah disobeying the law, basically breaking the law and not giving people their right to court and a right to show, oh, they're going to start claiming that he is now a a sex trafficker as the latest rumor going around. Well, then take all of the paperwork to court.
00:23:09
Speaker
And everything like that and prove it in a court of law with him being there. That is the latest thing. They don't have anything. Otherwise, he would have been there and they would have been able to show all this.
00:23:20
Speaker
But all they do is play the same stupid games over and over again. And that's why the Pope was pissed off at Vance because of what he's doing. You call yourself a Catholic, you know, you've just joined Catholicism. Then he tries to claim, oh, I've only been a Catholic for five years, so I'm learning.
00:23:36
Speaker
Oh, bullshit. You're learning. You know, more, it's not my fault, I'm learning. What the hell is that? It's a moral common sense. Yeah, moral common sense, you know.
00:23:51
Speaker
like You take care of your neighbors. Wow. Exactly. How tough is that to figure out? And we do that with the judicial system. And, you know, everybody should have their day in court when somebody claims that you're a gang member or claims that you're a sex offender or, you know, you traffic and in drugs and you do all this stuff that's against the law, then prove it in a court. No problem.
00:24:15
Speaker
you know And when it's done, and when the sentencing happens, if it does happen, you know everything is taken care of. But oh no, we want to kick people out of a country just because we can think we can do it. Wrong.
00:24:28
Speaker
By the way, it was nine to nothing from the Supreme Court saying you were wrong. no You know, not what fucking Steve Miller says, that ball-headed troll, what he says. I swear to God, man.
00:24:42
Speaker
They try to claim stuff because people, they think their people are so fucking stupid that, oh, the Supreme Court said nine to nothing. They agreed with the Trump administration. Bullshit. You're wrong again, pal. Wrong again.
00:24:54
Speaker
You know, but they got enough dumbasses out there to believe exactly what he says. So you got to deal with education, too.
Origin of 'Drinking the Kool-Aid'
00:25:03
Speaker
Anyway, this this is why I don't even drink Kool-Aid, because I think they actually drink Kool-Aid and also the political Kool-Aid. And that's what's causing brain rot.
00:25:16
Speaker
You know, that phrase came from Jim Jones, right? Really? That when people say that and stuff like that, that wasn't part of the vernacular in 1976. That happened when ah j and The Jonestown incident happened in South America.
00:25:31
Speaker
And that's where that came from. Oh, yeah. A little bit of the drinking the Kool-Aid. He put poison in the Kool-Aid to kill his followers. Yeah. And if they didn't drink the Kool-Aid, a lot of them were shot or ran off into the jungle and tried to escape from being shot.
00:25:46
Speaker
And they were shot anyway. That's how cults work. So the expression of drink the Kool-Aid, in case you want to know, this is another thing that a boomer could tell you. That's where it came from. Okay. we We accept these certain phrases and things like that a lot of times, but they do happen a lot of times in reality. And that was a sick time in the late 70s. I believe it was in 1978 when that happened.
00:26:11
Speaker
Yeah. um That was right after George Moscone and Harvey Milk were assassinated by Dan White in City Hall in San Francisco. I, what for me...
00:26:23
Speaker
is that what I don't understand is why people don't associate this far right following as not culty because it really does scream that, especially if they're really implementing the idea that if you do not follow me, then you are the fucking enemy.
00:26:40
Speaker
Oh yeah. It's so, so typical. and that's what, that's what right wing, um, you know, authoritarians do. That's what they do. I, what When was there ever another president who spoke about the American people the way how Trump does?
00:26:57
Speaker
Yeah. players There's no unity at all. No, there's none. There's no unity at all, really. his His tweets or his truth social fucking post on for Easter was such a rage-fueled post talking about how bad Joe Biden is and how everything is fucked up when it's like nothing was fucked up when it was handed to you on a gold fucking platter.
00:27:26
Speaker
You're the one who's pulling the fucking strings now and things are not going your way. And I'm sorry, just because you are an elected official and at the highest seat in our country does not mean that you have the political power to make anything fucking happen.
00:27:45
Speaker
That's why there are three different houses help regulate the government. Yeah, three different branches of government to help regulate the power because we already know what it's like to have a tyrant leader, a.k.a. 1776, why we declared ourselves independent. We do not want to have a king.
00:28:05
Speaker
king, no guy that's going to say what the law is all the time. Exactly. We all know that he's basically, you know, psychotic and all that about himself, and it's always about him.
00:28:16
Speaker
everything. He will never say that I made a mistake. If Hegseth gets canned and he decides to leave, believe me, it'll be some bullshit that'll come out saying that, oh, he had a really good opportunity. I didn't want to stand in his way to leave and, you know, move out of his position as the head of the Department of Defense.
00:28:37
Speaker
Nobody leaves the Department of Defense unless they fucked up. And he fucked up. yeah Big time. So no one leaves a job, a cush job like that, you know, and it's one of these things that you can see what's happening and it's going to happen and you know, what's going to happen.
00:28:58
Speaker
He'll leave because, oh, I didn't want to stand in his way. He had a really good opportunity in the private sector and all this. And where's he going? What's he doing? I don't know right now. He told me, but I forgot. Yeah.
00:29:10
Speaker
You know, his mind works. If they talk to him at a press conference, you know, it'll be one of those things. And it'll be like, oh, yeah. then And basically behind closed doors, it was like, boy, we're getting a lot of pressure from the people in the House that are telling him right now, God, we should have never hired this guy. The Senate is going, we made a big mistake politically, you know, ah hiring this guy.
00:29:33
Speaker
Now he's affecting how the security of our country could be by giving away war plans on SignalChat.
00:29:42
Speaker
That was honestly so fucking ridiculous. um going in ah Talking about other members in his cabinet, did you see that Linda McMahon went to some like AI summit and she called it a one They did a whole segment on Jimmy Kimmel handing kids a bottle of a one on the sidewalk and said, here is your new department of education to help you.
00:30:06
Speaker
with And the kids are looking at this bottle going, what the hell one kid looks at it and hands it right back and says you take it i don't want this this is to help you in your department this is to help you in your classroom here's a one like what the hell are you talking about and i mean obviously i didn't i don't know the whole context of what this specific summit was doing other than just like talking about artificial intelligence and like you know AI is becoming very, very integrated into our society. And i'd like I could also see pros and cons to that, um especially in my specific career.
AI in Education: Risks and Fears
00:30:43
Speaker
ah definitely can put a damper on things and all that kind of stuff. But the fact that she said that there is a school system specifically for first graders and even pre-K that they're going to start integrating them and teaching them about a one ai and i'm like kindergartners and fucking first graders don't need to know what ai is basically what you're going to teach them about chat gbt so they can cheat on all their homework when they get older i'm going what are they going to do mean when you're talking about hey ai told me scott
00:31:20
Speaker
you know, what was it? Jane, Jane and, and Dick and Jane ran up the hill. They're trying to basic read even before kindergarten. Chat GTT says, no, they didn't go up the hill.
00:31:33
Speaker
They stayed right here. Enjoyed their big glass of water. Why would they go all the way up the hill? Well, they can get their fountain drink over here. AI shows them a fountain drink where they would get it they it oh yeah. Yeah.
00:31:45
Speaker
Now I got to know which one says root beer on the tab, which one says Diet Coke, which one says, you know, reading about it. i just think that what I think what the AI is supposed to do is probably help the teacher to some extent stay in a lesson concept.
00:32:01
Speaker
I wouldn't be surprised. I don't think that's beneficial either because it's like, Okay, then what's the point of even having a teacher? Like, I think then the school systems are going to be like, all right, let's stop paying these teachers. Let's get rid all these that's exactly what they want to do.
00:32:17
Speaker
And then let's just have AI. But then here's the thing that's going to be difficult. Kids that have special needs. How the fuck are they going to get special treatment with ai Two, having social interactions is so, so important as a child.
00:32:33
Speaker
Meeting kids, hanging out, doing all these things, and learning together is so important for the development of their brain. And if we already saw a huge dip in social interactions with kids when they were being homeschooled during COVID – Like no one was actually paying attention.
00:32:51
Speaker
Most kids nowadays have ADHD. They can't focus on a fucking Zoom call. Can you imagine them going up and attacking a computer or a robot in class? Oh, yeah. Graffiti-ing it or something, you know? Yeah, graffiti-ing across its interface camera, whatever. big penis. Yeah.
00:33:11
Speaker
Yeah, all this stuff like this, you know, because they think it's funny and all of a sudden they get a relationship with the classroom laughing if it's going to be in a classroom environment. You know, that sort of thing. I'll tell you, you have to have somebody that would be a monitor of all this.
00:33:27
Speaker
Elon Musk. With his Tesla robots. would monitor them all over the place, yes. He would send his other robots in to correct them and grab them by their little wrists, direct them back to their chair and stand over them and intimidate them with their red eyes.
00:33:40
Speaker
You know? No! You will learn. You will learn. oh my God. And this why, like, so many people are also just homeschooling nowadays. And I don't even think, like, honestly, I silently judge people that are homeschooled.
00:33:56
Speaker
I can't. I can't. but Most of the, like, why, and this this is this is a hot take, but homeschooling, how how are they making friends? I feel like you're you're breeding an incel.
00:34:10
Speaker
Yeah, I just think that you just you do need, not just the social um influence of just a handful of friends, too. You need to other people that you don't get along with. ah That's how you learn and grow.
00:34:24
Speaker
Yeah. you You get to the cafeteria, right? You got the jocks table. You got the nerds table. You got the cheerleader tables. Yeah. All these different tables. But humans go into these little cliques that they do. It's kind of interesting how that goes all the way through K through 12 in a lot of ways, right?
00:34:45
Speaker
All the way up to college. And then what happens? That's still a big social thing that happens in college. Which fraternity are you in? Which seniority so ah sorority are you in? What are you in? You know what i mean? Or you don't go to those at all? What extracurriculars are you in? What clubs?
00:35:01
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, I mean chess club. Of course you are. You know, you little fucking nerd.
00:35:08
Speaker
Of course you are. You know, But here's the funny
Role of Social Interactions in Schools
00:35:12
Speaker
thing. you know You could be a nerd in a chess club, but then five, 10 years later, you could be the head of a whole department that that jock comes to you because he failed of even finishing up his college career, blew out his knee, and all of a sudden he comes to you for a potential job.
00:35:27
Speaker
You called me a nerd, buddy. it Kind of sounds like ah the beginning plot of 21 Jump Street, the remake with Jonah Hill. and um Oh, yeah. And they were like, he was the bully. And then they ended up being the police academy together. And they became friends because he was sucking.
00:35:42
Speaker
Yeah. That kind of thing. then it then Then they become socially together and go, oh I guess we need each other, don't we? Yeah. like We feed off each other. We're the we're the yin and the yang. Yeah. I guess you do, huh?
00:35:54
Speaker
Yeah. oh Yeah. Yeah, well. We'll see what happens with that because I definitely think in the next 10 years, there's going to be something and our school system that's going to be heavily AI.
00:36:07
Speaker
I'm probably right. And it's all about, the you know, our labor force is most manageable resource. Yeah, I know. You can basically cut down the amount of half to people. Machines never get sick.
00:36:19
Speaker
They never grow old. you know They never get tired. No, they just get balls and penises drawn on their interface.
00:36:32
Speaker
And we have to constantly clean it off with another robot to come in and take care of it. You know, the old expression, I remember this years ago, we had a guy at's at work and he says, you know, the world's changing and there's going to be robots, but robots to do everything. And I'm going, yeah, ah hopefully I'll be dead by then.
00:36:48
Speaker
You know, that kind of idea. But he said, what you should do is train yourself to fix the robots. I'm going, He didn't even realize that most of these robots and everything are fixed by it we're going to be fixed by other robots.
00:36:59
Speaker
There might be one guy, one guy running a factory. And all he does is show up and sit down and get fat and look at a monitor and then realize what something has to be done. He signals another robot to go over and fix something, whether it be an assembly factory or whether it be whatever it might be.
00:37:19
Speaker
There might be one guy where there used to be, I'm not kidding, there used to be a thousand people working in that plant. And there might be one guy. And then they're out there saying, you've got to have more babies. Otherwise, we won't have a tax base.
00:37:32
Speaker
You've got to have more babies. Really? i want to bring the jobs back here. yes i want to i want to put all these people back to work. No, you're not.
00:37:44
Speaker
By the time they get the chips and stuff made, they're all going to be done with one guy and he's got a thousand robots working and ain't going to be no workers doing it. So let's get serious here, buddy.
00:37:55
Speaker
Yeah. You know, you're full of crap with this tariff crap. Yeah. You really are. know we're trying to get something from work from China. Good luck.
00:38:06
Speaker
Yeah, ah seven-week turnaround, not even including the the shipping aspect of it. not Don't know what the duties are going to be once they arrive. It's already costing $10,000.
00:38:21
Speaker
Can you talk to somebody in Thailand where we only have a 10% tariff on right now and have the person in Thailand order it so that they could get it and then ship it to you from Thailand? Can I just go have the penguins make it for me?
00:38:39
Speaker
The penguins from Madagascar. They get it done. Yeah, that's it.
00:38:49
Speaker
Oh, God. Which, by the way, that was AI that made that movie. yeah Was it AI? It was all the computer-driven stuff. No, but the concept of the movie, did they like put it into like the internet and were like write me a movie about animals at a zoo? would so No, I don't think so. I think they actually had writers.
00:39:07
Speaker
That's another thing I feel sorry about writers. um It's kind of funny, but Bauman was telling me a long time ago that she even asked a question to people that she'd cut their hair on that came from Hollywood and came up here and they retired.
AI's Threat to Creativity in Hollywood
00:39:20
Speaker
And she even asked them, hey, um we started noticing that this is very, very similar, this kind of You know, ah say, for example, you've got a series you're watching and it's it's set up with the same kind of people.
00:39:35
Speaker
You go 10 years later, five years later, you got another, you know, series that's on. And I go, this is really similar. Same kind of story. Same. They rehash a lot of stuff, maybe change and tweak a few things in it.
00:39:48
Speaker
But that's what writers do sometimes. You know, and now they're facing it right now where all this stuff is going to be out there plugged into a computer and they're going to ask somebody to write something for themselves to get it out to a studio and they're going to get paid one tenth of what they got paid because some kind of program wrote it for them.
00:40:09
Speaker
Plug in the parameters. batta-ta-ta-ta What is the person doing? How many is going to be in the family? Oh, give me the interracial aspect of it. Okay, we got that covered up. Now give me the religious aspect on this part of the family, the non-religious aspect on this part of the family.
00:40:24
Speaker
Now let's make a series on this and we'll plug in each individual. So-and-so goes to see a doctor and finds out that they might have a blood disease and we're going to make a comedy out of it.
00:40:35
Speaker
Really? Really? That's it. I mean, that's going to be the parameter. Yeah, a new one on CBS.
00:40:46
Speaker
So you're going to see stuff like this all the time, you know, that's going to pop up. And you're going to go, wait a minute. I think they just rehashed that serial, that whole series from an AI that I saw five years ago.
00:40:58
Speaker
Yeah. So. It's out here to ruin us all. Okay. Okay. I think let's get into our our vocab segment that I introduced last
Gen Z Slang: What Does 'Bussin' Mean?
00:41:08
Speaker
week. Oh, my God.
00:41:10
Speaker
our Our Gen Z vocabulary test for our baby boomer here. So last week we did big yikes. That's true. And I'm thinking this week I quiz you on the word bussin.
00:41:29
Speaker
Say that one more time. Bussin. Bussin. Bussin. Yeah. Bussin. Do need me to give you an example? Okay, go ahead. That burger that I got at that place was Bussin.
00:41:50
Speaker
I'm going to say it was it was really good. I liked it, but under the connotation of coming out of Y, did the word run into that connotation of it. Why?
00:42:06
Speaker
Bustin' just means delicious. you were right on the money. There is no why. to Come on. There's got to be kind of like, you know, okay, the word sus, okay? Suspicious. You're suspect, okay?
00:42:19
Speaker
That's just in a short abbreviation of it. But there's got to be a breakdown of that word. Like I gave you a breakdown last week when I said you got decked. You keep that up, I'm going to deck you.
00:42:31
Speaker
Okay? That was, and i explained it as being a Navy term, buth bla blah, blah, blah, right? Going back. The the only thing that would be ah relative to the word bussin is the word busting, meaning busting with flavor.
00:42:46
Speaker
So good. Interesting, yeah. but good it But it's not like, you know,
00:42:53
Speaker
sus. Like, it's not short a shorter version for anything. Yeah. And also, okay, you see get I'm going to give you one that was prevalent in the 70s. ok Okay. That was before you were born. That's fine.
00:43:05
Speaker
I'll give you one. Okay.
00:43:13
Speaker
Fox. F-O-X. Okay. ah Fox. ah Can you give me the word in in an example, please? She is a fox.
00:43:23
Speaker
Oh, she's hot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, i've heard that before. Foxy Lady. Foxy Lady is an old one. go The way back, and I think in the prevalent, even in the 60s, there was a song, Foxy Lady. hu okay That kind of thing. and you And you add the two together and all that other stuff.
00:43:41
Speaker
yeah and yeah You called her a a rodent. You called her, what was that? If you say to somebody, you know what I mean? okay So that was a prevalent. Nowadays, and you say, now she's a stone cold fox, right?
00:43:55
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. So you add the other parameters to it and you get these little, these little add-ons, right? Like silver Fox, you know, like that's like a nice salt and pepper hotty.
00:44:06
Speaker
Ah, put the hat bag on. yeah
00:44:10
Speaker
As in, as in my dad, right? Didn't you, did you call him that or you your mom called him that? Probably mom. Great grandpa. Yeah. her Her grandfather, right? I feel like that would be very inappropriate for me to call my great-grandfather, hey, you silver fox. That sounds like an episode of Dateline.
00:44:28
Speaker
he would go He would go, oh really? you know well He's slipping me a $20 bill like he did every time at breakfast. <unk>
00:44:41
Speaker
Your situation was a little different. it was like, here, I know your mom's not giving you a allowance. Boom. And I'm so poor I didn't even have 20 bucks to give you. And he's like popping it out there. Yeah.
00:44:53
Speaker
Passing it out to the great grandkids. What are we having tonight, honey? Potatoes again. There you go. Irish car's good. Still happening. ah Except for your box potatoes because that's going to put you right in the ringer when you meet granny in the afterlife.
00:45:09
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Hey, I got it down, though. I got it down as far as I could make mashed potatoes on the stove like you do. Right.
00:45:20
Speaker
Like the whole deal. I could do one off to the side and then I would put two servings of it in two plates, hand them to you, hide them in the other room. You wouldn't know which one was which. And I'll bet you 50 percent of the time or even 60 percent of the time you get it wrong.
00:45:36
Speaker
you would pick I don't have a 70-year-old palate. I'd be able to spot it just off looking at it. It looks gray. It doesn't look real.
00:45:47
Speaker
Not the ones when you do it right. No, it doesn't matter how many fucking sticks butter you add to it. It still tastes like shit. I'm talking russet potatoes. And when you know how to do it just right and the certain ones you do, and then when you add your add-ons, you are putting your sour cream in it.
00:46:04
Speaker
Okay. Okay. Well, you're whoa wo are you telling me you make mashed potatoes with russet. No, I do it with the box because I don't want to go out and have potatoes going bad on me because i got like if you're making mashed potatoes. What potato are you using?
00:46:20
Speaker
Oh, it's a potato that most likely an Idaho russet is what it is. That's straight to jail, straight straight to El Salvador, straight to El Salvador. do you know we're potato okay here's um Do you know where potatoes from? Yukon golds only or get the fuck out. well No, I love Yukon gold. There's no doubt about that. When you make them, yeah.
00:46:42
Speaker
But you know where potatoes came from, right? What? Besides Idaho? They didn't come from Ireland. No, where did they come from? from i I mean, I'm talking about where they're originally from.
00:46:54
Speaker
Potatoes? Yeah. Russia? No. Oh. The New World.
History of Potatoes and Their Global Spread
00:47:00
Speaker
Really? Yeah. Yeah. The natives in Peru and stuff. And when the first, you know, people from Spain went there and conquered them and all that stuff, they had so many different varieties of potatoes, so many different types that they made.
00:47:13
Speaker
All these tubers, right, that they made, all different types, that those, here's a little knowledge knowledge for you. All those ones came from came back from the new world to the old world. OK, and they gradually, you know, went to um other places like when you're talking about different parts of Europe and obviously Ireland.
00:47:32
Speaker
And then they learned that they had to rotate their crops or change it slightly to another type. Otherwise, they have this fungus that happens, you know, and then that's one of the reasons why the potato famine happened when it did in Ireland and why we had so many Irish immigrants come during the eighteen hundreds the 19th century and stuff is because of the, as a matter of fact, there was more people living in the East coast and living in, in, you know, when time 1900 drilled around than there was in Ireland.
00:48:01
Speaker
Hmm. Really fun fact. Yeah. Fun fact. There you go. But they came, they came originally from South America. Yeah. Never would have been areas down there in Peru and all. So you can thank the natives of those areas there that grew them and harvest them and went through the, all the different types that they came through and changed them and,
00:48:18
Speaker
did different things to, you know, go through all of them. And it was actually important because in the long run, they knew too that how to grow them properly and try to avoid that through trial and error. But also if they didn't have them come out right and they had any kind of funguses and stuff, they could die. Their whole tribe could die if they were so sustenance on that, you know, eating all that all the time.
00:48:41
Speaker
And of course it took a while for the dumb Irishman to pick it up and go, yeah, we should rotate our crops and we should change it out and and grow this other type of potato here. Or maybe let's grow some barley or alfalfa or something like that for a while. you know And that's where their beer comes from, baby. Get that barley going.
00:49:00
Speaker
Pops. yeah All right, Mr. Potato Head. That's right, baby. I think this is a good spot for us to end this week's episode. Okay.
00:49:11
Speaker
um
