Podcast Technical Challenges
00:00:01
Speaker
Levels, levels.
00:00:05
Speaker
Levels, levels.
00:00:07
Speaker
Hey, look at that.
00:00:09
Speaker
The lights flashed in the background behind you.
00:00:11
Speaker
I don't know what that means.
00:00:14
Speaker
Well, while you were doing your levels, levels, I'm like, maybe I should turn my lights on.
00:00:17
Speaker
Maybe that would make me look better.
00:00:20
Speaker
And turn them on and went, nope.
00:00:21
Speaker
Nope.
00:00:24
Speaker
That was not the problem.
00:00:26
Speaker
Never mind.
00:00:28
Speaker
may have made things worse.
00:00:30
Speaker
Isn't this an audio podcast?
00:00:31
Speaker
Why do you need lights?
00:00:33
Speaker
It's the, the, the microphone and picks up on the waves and it's science and.
00:00:41
Speaker
It's science.
00:00:41
Speaker
It's just, just stop with it's science.
00:00:44
Speaker
It's just, it's science.
Toddler 17's Florida Trip
00:00:48
Speaker
So did you see that toddler 17 is celebrating the new year by taking a talking to Todd trip?
00:00:56
Speaker
Uh, I thought, I thought Greg went to Florida to go see Noah.
00:01:02
Speaker
Florida man.
00:01:03
Speaker
Check.
00:01:04
Speaker
Okay.
00:01:04
Speaker
All right.
00:01:05
Speaker
Simply going to Florida does not make it a talking to Todd trip.
00:01:09
Speaker
Uh, I believe that he reported that he saw a Waymo on the trip.
00:01:14
Speaker
Okay.
00:01:15
Speaker
All right.
00:01:15
Speaker
All right.
00:01:15
Speaker
I'll, I'll give you that one.
00:01:16
Speaker
I mean, that's, that's two, but I, I don't, I don't think that's still enough to, to really call it a T2T trip.
00:01:23
Speaker
Uh, did,
00:01:24
Speaker
He did also send us a picture of a correctly identified semi-rigid airship or dirigible.
00:01:34
Speaker
Without accompanying jokes.
00:01:35
Speaker
Okay.
00:01:36
Speaker
Okay.
00:01:38
Speaker
You are making your case pretty well.
00:01:42
Speaker
But unless he sent us concession prices from a sporting event he attended, I don't think we can say it was actually a talking to Todd trip.
Introduction to 'Talking to Todd'
00:01:49
Speaker
You know, I'm glad you mentioned that.
00:01:51
Speaker
Buckle up, toddlers.
00:01:53
Speaker
Hi, toddlers.
00:01:56
Speaker
Welcome to Talking to Todd.
00:02:17
Speaker
a weekly podcast with Dwayne Johnson and Todd Prince, where failure is always an option.
00:02:21
Speaker
Thanks for joining us.
00:02:22
Speaker
Hey, Todd.
00:02:23
Speaker
Hey, how's it going?
00:02:25
Speaker
Pretty good.
00:02:26
Speaker
Pretty good.
00:02:26
Speaker
How are you?
00:02:27
Speaker
Not too bad.
00:02:28
Speaker
Not too bad.
00:02:28
Speaker
You know, things are just, you know, kind of...
Managing Studio Setups
00:02:31
Speaker
Going along here in the undisclosed location, trying to figure out microphones and lights.
00:02:37
Speaker
Hey, where's that thing that I, oh, I took that up to the other place.
00:02:40
Speaker
Okay.
00:02:41
Speaker
No, this is fine.
00:02:42
Speaker
Everything's fine.
00:02:45
Speaker
I have like one and a half studios between two locations.
00:02:48
Speaker
So that's cool.
00:02:50
Speaker
It's fine.
00:02:51
Speaker
It'll all work itself out.
00:02:52
Speaker
How are you doing?
Christmas Gifts Discussion
00:02:54
Speaker
Pretty good.
00:02:55
Speaker
I'm wearing my Christmas gift.
00:03:00
Speaker
a red sweatshirt that just says Kevin with an exclamation point.
00:03:06
Speaker
I don't know if any of the rest of you got those fed to you in your social media feeds leading up to Christmas, but Amy decided that I needed that for Christmas in honor of our, um, intern, our, our dubious intern, our, uh, oft made fun of intern.
00:03:28
Speaker
Um,
00:03:30
Speaker
Way to go, Kevin.
00:03:32
Speaker
Thank you, Amy.
00:03:33
Speaker
Did you get anything good for Christmas?
00:03:36
Speaker
Um, I, I did trying to think of what that was.
00:03:41
Speaker
Uh, Oh, uh, I've, I've, I, I got a, um, uh, lots of things, uh, including a, a new pair of running shoes to start putting even more mileage on.
00:03:50
Speaker
So, uh, that was good.
00:03:52
Speaker
Took them Lisa, Lisa, Lisa, get ready for trash and recycling.
00:03:58
Speaker
Oh, Hey, you're, I guess you're keeping the hokas.
00:04:01
Speaker
Cause I was throwing the box away and I'm like, I, I,
00:04:04
Speaker
I did, I did like five miles on them.
00:04:06
Speaker
I'm pretty sure that that was the indicator that I was keeping them, not, not the box, but yeah.
00:04:13
Speaker
Yeah.
00:04:13
Speaker
It's good.
00:04:14
Speaker
Good time was had by all.
00:04:15
Speaker
So.
00:04:17
Speaker
Nice.
00:04:18
Speaker
Let's see.
Listener Feedback: Games and Quizzes
00:04:19
Speaker
Other, other feedback, follow up and updates that we got feedback here, the stuff that we, what did we get here?
00:04:26
Speaker
We've been down.
00:04:27
Speaker
It feels like we've been off longer than we actually have.
00:04:30
Speaker
Yeah.
00:04:31
Speaker
It feels like we haven't done this in like weeks.
00:04:34
Speaker
I didn't put this in the rundown.
00:04:35
Speaker
I will just say Lisa and I have been getting caught up as we've been with driving back and forth between locations.
00:04:42
Speaker
One of the things we've noticed is when it comes to Duane Guess the Number, Lisa is really good at it, including...
00:04:54
Speaker
Also, I would say don't mess with her when it comes to business because when I said, I don't think we would follow this up.
00:05:02
Speaker
When I said how much is the Amazon Pay and Delivery drivers and you guessed 74 cents, Lisa guessed 7 cents.
00:05:13
Speaker
More than so that was more than Amy guest.
00:05:15
Speaker
Yes.
00:05:16
Speaker
Yeah.
00:05:17
Speaker
So Amy's at five, Lisa's at seven.
00:05:20
Speaker
The actual number was 10 or 12.
00:05:22
Speaker
Like, OK.
00:05:24
Speaker
All right.
00:05:24
Speaker
So, yeah.
00:05:26
Speaker
Anyway, so, yes, she enjoys that game because she generally is usually much, much closer than than you.
00:05:34
Speaker
So, well, we'll see how that works out this week.
00:05:38
Speaker
Oh, yes, it is.
00:05:38
Speaker
Dwayne, guess the number.
00:05:39
Speaker
And we have a bonus one this week, too.
00:05:41
Speaker
So that'll be great.
00:05:42
Speaker
Oh, fantastic.
00:05:44
Speaker
How about some other how about some other feedback?
00:05:46
Speaker
So I got a I got a I got a quiz for you.
00:05:49
Speaker
Oh, it was submitted.
00:05:51
Speaker
This this came to us courtesy of toddler Matt Damon.
00:05:56
Speaker
OK.
00:05:58
Speaker
Did you see that Bridget Bardot died a week ago or so?
00:06:03
Speaker
I did.
00:06:04
Speaker
Yes.
00:06:05
Speaker
Do you know that with her death, there are now only three people that are still alive that are name checked in Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire.
00:06:20
Speaker
Okay.
00:06:21
Speaker
Can you name them?
00:06:24
Speaker
I'm like, this is the perfect kind of question where you know you're familiar with the song.
00:06:32
Speaker
Right.
00:06:33
Speaker
But.
00:06:35
Speaker
Bernie Goetz.
00:06:36
Speaker
That was the first one that I came up with.
00:06:39
Speaker
That's a war going through quickly.
00:06:41
Speaker
I'm singing the song quickly.
00:06:42
Speaker
Like, yep.
00:06:42
Speaker
And then of course, Bernie Goetz.
00:06:44
Speaker
Yep.
00:06:44
Speaker
I get it.
00:06:44
Speaker
Yep.
00:06:45
Speaker
And there's, there's a couple of those where you're like, I need somebody else.
00:06:48
Speaker
Okay.
00:06:50
Speaker
Begin Reagan, Palestine.
00:06:52
Speaker
No, no, no.
00:06:53
Speaker
Okay.
00:06:54
Speaker
Ayatollah in Afghanistan.
00:06:56
Speaker
No.
00:06:56
Speaker
Sally Ride.
00:06:56
Speaker
No, no, no.
00:07:04
Speaker
I'm not going to the early part of the song because I'm guessing that most of that's not there.
00:07:10
Speaker
I don't know.
00:07:12
Speaker
Chubby Checker Psycho, Belgians in the Congo.
00:07:15
Speaker
Chubby Checker is still alive.
00:07:17
Speaker
Okay.
00:07:19
Speaker
Dylan Berlin, Bay of Pigs Invasion.
00:07:22
Speaker
Bob Dylan, still alive.
00:07:25
Speaker
Okay.
00:07:28
Speaker
So those are the...
00:07:31
Speaker
three now names that still are alive.
00:07:37
Speaker
So that's kind of like a Deadpool game.
00:07:39
Speaker
It is kind of.
00:07:40
Speaker
Yes.
00:07:41
Speaker
Yes.
00:07:42
Speaker
So a little with us, not with us.
00:07:44
Speaker
We didn't start the fire edition is what we've got there.
00:07:48
Speaker
All three of those still with us.
00:07:50
Speaker
So anyway, again, that was courtesy of Tyler, Matt Damon.
00:07:55
Speaker
There we go.
00:07:56
Speaker
Good work out of him.
00:07:58
Speaker
I did perfect.
00:07:59
Speaker
You know, the song you're familiar with the, with the content through all of it.
00:08:03
Speaker
Like, Hey, everybody hang on for, I don't know, four and a half minutes and 10 minutes, four minutes and 10 seconds.
00:08:09
Speaker
While I just kind of go through some stuff here.
Feedback on Digital Gifting Features
00:08:12
Speaker
Um,
00:08:14
Speaker
Hey, I did get a piece of feedback from Jesse at the Taylor Center for Technology Policy as he was listening to the, I think it was the last one when I let you know that, or two times ago when I let you know that Sports Night was available.
00:08:30
Speaker
And then I said, I learned that I couldn't gift it to you.
00:08:34
Speaker
Yes.
00:08:36
Speaker
Text message from Jesse, as I'm listening to this and you said, I think I should be able to gift it to you.
00:08:41
Speaker
Jesse's comment was, I went and looked for that same feature about three months ago, and I was in the car thinking, nope, not going to find it.
00:08:48
Speaker
You're not going to find it.
00:08:49
Speaker
You're not going to find it.
00:08:50
Speaker
It's not there.
00:08:51
Speaker
It's gone.
00:08:52
Speaker
And eventually you get to, it's not there.
00:08:54
Speaker
It's gone.
00:08:56
Speaker
I guess I should have just called Jesse for tech support.
00:09:01
Speaker
He is also surprised that Apple removed a way to take more money from you.
00:09:06
Speaker
This might be the first time in the history of Apple that they said, you know, we could get money this way.
00:09:12
Speaker
Or let's not.
00:09:14
Speaker
But why do that?
00:09:16
Speaker
We have enough.
00:09:19
Speaker
We got an email from Yvonne.
Humorous Mispronunciations
00:09:23
Speaker
Yes.
00:09:25
Speaker
Actually stopped mid-podcast to Google Hitler teapot.
00:09:32
Speaker
That's going to mess up your, uh, that's going to mess up your IP address for a while.
00:09:38
Speaker
Idiot of the Week story continues with the news that not only did JCPenney sell out of the teapot, they were being resold on eBay for $199 against the original price of 40 bucks.
00:09:55
Speaker
See, now that's both money and Nazis.
00:09:59
Speaker
Doesn't have to be, doesn't have to be either or.
00:10:02
Speaker
Um,
00:10:06
Speaker
I also asked her privately, just so that we make sure that we get it correct.
00:10:12
Speaker
Is it Yvonne or is it Yvonne?
00:10:16
Speaker
Because it's, you know, different people pronounce their names different ways.
00:10:20
Speaker
And she's like, I love that you're asking.
00:10:23
Speaker
I've been plagued with Yvonne my entire life.
00:10:26
Speaker
It's actually Yvonne with the emphasis on the Vaughn.
00:10:31
Speaker
How do people know how to pronounce Yvette and have trouble with Yvonne?
00:10:39
Speaker
I'm like, I've been plagued with D-Wayne all my life.
00:10:41
Speaker
So I'm right there with you.
00:10:43
Speaker
I'm right there with you, Yvonne.
00:10:44
Speaker
Well, that's what happens, though, when you're like, hey, I've got a whole bunch of stuff that I need to take to the client site.
00:10:51
Speaker
Do I take Yvette or do I take Yvonne?
00:10:55
Speaker
I'll take the Yvonne.
00:10:57
Speaker
Sorry, that was stupid.
00:11:00
Speaker
And Dwayne was taking a big drink right then.
00:11:05
Speaker
So, by the way, if you're curious, that Hitler teapot story is from 2013.
00:11:13
Speaker
It's not even recent.
00:11:16
Speaker
Wait, the Internet brought up an old thing and made it seem like new.
00:11:20
Speaker
When in the history of the internet has this ever happened?
00:11:23
Speaker
You know what?
00:11:24
Speaker
I'm going to have to send in a complaint to the internet.
00:11:26
Speaker
Dear manager, I was saddened to hear that the quality control let this one slip through.
00:11:35
Speaker
Thanks, Karen.
00:11:39
Speaker
Let's see.
Correcting King Ranch Information
00:11:40
Speaker
What else did we have on this rundown list?
00:11:45
Speaker
Oh, I had one
00:11:49
Speaker
Actually.
00:11:50
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:51
Speaker
This is a correction on a correction.
00:11:53
Speaker
Okay.
00:11:55
Speaker
The King Ranch sprawls in Texas.
00:11:57
Speaker
The King Ranch sprawls across 825,000 acres of South Texas land, according to the King Ranch website.
00:12:07
Speaker
an area larger than the state of Rhode Island.
00:12:10
Speaker
I'm like, huh, okay, well, let me go over to the state of Rhode Island, approximately 777,000 acres of total area, including 669,000 acres of land and 108,000 acres of water, smaller than King Ranch.
00:12:33
Speaker
Wow.
00:12:33
Speaker
Okay.
00:12:34
Speaker
All right.
00:12:34
Speaker
All right.
00:12:35
Speaker
So now, are you telling me that something on Wikipedia is wrong?
00:12:45
Speaker
I mean, I suppose it's possible.
00:12:48
Speaker
Everybody's like, nobody cares.
00:12:49
Speaker
Just move on.
00:12:53
Speaker
Sir, I shall have a rebuttal to this next week.
00:12:56
Speaker
Okay.
00:12:57
Speaker
The gift that keeps on giving content.
Winter Classic Concessions Prices
00:12:59
Speaker
Gotta love it.
00:13:00
Speaker
I was watching something else.
00:13:01
Speaker
I was watching something this week and they're like, well, I got content out of it.
00:13:06
Speaker
So it was worth it.
00:13:07
Speaker
Oh, I know what it was.
00:13:09
Speaker
I'll cover it later.
00:13:10
Speaker
Anyway, it's, it's, it's, it's what I'm watching this week.
00:13:14
Speaker
Okay.
00:13:16
Speaker
So, so to follow up from the cold open under, under followup,
00:13:24
Speaker
Greg sent Greg sent us ticket concession prices from the winter classic.
00:13:37
Speaker
Yes, from the winter classic, which is NHL hockey, which is where NHL hockey plays outside, right?
00:13:44
Speaker
Yes.
00:13:45
Speaker
And where is this taking place?
00:13:46
Speaker
Where are they playing ice hockey outside?
00:13:49
Speaker
I believe it's Miami.
00:13:51
Speaker
Okay, cool.
00:13:52
Speaker
Yep.
00:13:53
Speaker
This makes total sense.
00:13:55
Speaker
Yeah, that tracks.
00:13:57
Speaker
So he got there and decided that he, well, actually, he asked us if we wanted him to send us concession prices.
00:14:09
Speaker
And we said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:14:12
Speaker
We're not soliciting.
00:14:13
Speaker
There will be no soliciting.
00:14:15
Speaker
Absolutely not.
00:14:16
Speaker
Of any kind.
00:14:19
Speaker
We are not allowed by our ethical practices and our wives to solicit concession prices from sporting events.
00:14:28
Speaker
However.
00:14:29
Speaker
That said.
00:14:31
Speaker
If somebody sends them to us.
00:14:32
Speaker
Should they be sent to us?
00:14:35
Speaker
Well, we do feel an obligation to share them.
00:14:39
Speaker
Here's the unless.
00:14:41
Speaker
Because.
00:14:42
Speaker
Doug from the Idiot Toddlers also sent me concession prices from the Rose Bowl.
00:14:49
Speaker
But the picture that he sent me, I then also saw a couple of hours later on Twitter.
00:14:55
Speaker
So I don't think Doug was actually at the Rose Bowl.
00:15:00
Speaker
I think he just sent me concession prices from the Rose Bowl, which falls into a gray area.
00:15:08
Speaker
Yeah, more of a crimson area for Indiana at this point, but not crimson for Alabama.
00:15:16
Speaker
Yes.
00:15:19
Speaker
So if you are actually attending a sporting event and you provide concession prices, that's one thing.
00:15:27
Speaker
And again, we feel obligated to read them.
00:15:30
Speaker
For example, you can get a ballpark dog at the Winter Classic for $8.
00:15:38
Speaker
That doesn't seem unreasonable.
00:15:42
Speaker
You know what?
00:15:43
Speaker
This is how they get you.
00:15:45
Speaker
See, now they've trained us.
00:15:47
Speaker
$8 for a stadium hot dog.
00:15:49
Speaker
You know, it's nice to see that they're keeping it affordable.
00:15:56
Speaker
I fell for it.
00:15:59
Speaker
A water is $6.50.
00:15:59
Speaker
A Pepsi is $7.50.
00:16:03
Speaker
No cash accepted.
00:16:04
Speaker
Must be 21 plus to purchase alcohol.
00:16:06
Speaker
By the way, a domestic beer, $12.
00:16:09
Speaker
A bargain.
00:16:11
Speaker
Because that same beer, Bud Light, Coors Light, Michelob Ultra, will cost you $18 at Soldier Field, as we've discovered.
00:16:19
Speaker
Specialty beers are only $1.50 more.
00:16:21
Speaker
Stella, Corona, Modelo, and Blue Moon.
00:16:26
Speaker
Do those come with ice?
00:16:29
Speaker
Ice, ice, baby.
00:16:30
Speaker
They ought to.
00:16:32
Speaker
All those imports.
00:16:33
Speaker
Okay.
00:16:34
Speaker
Anyway, moving on.
00:16:36
Speaker
And I'm assuming that everybody knows that Stella, there's a much longer name for Stella.
00:16:42
Speaker
Corona is Corona.
00:16:43
Speaker
Modelo is Modelo.
00:16:44
Speaker
Blue moon is blue moon.
00:16:45
Speaker
Stella is more than just Stella.
00:16:49
Speaker
It's Stella.
00:16:51
Speaker
Oh no, that's a different thing.
00:16:52
Speaker
That's a different.
00:16:53
Speaker
No, that's all right.
00:16:55
Speaker
You could also get a pulled pork nacho Cubano for $17.50.
00:16:58
Speaker
That sounds really good right now.
00:17:02
Speaker
Anyway, that feels like that has one too many.
00:17:06
Speaker
You can get a pulled pork Cubano or not pulled pork.
00:17:11
Speaker
Not it feels like that's one too many things.
00:17:15
Speaker
Like as long as long as it comes with pickles on it.
00:17:18
Speaker
I am on I'm all in.
00:17:20
Speaker
How about if it comes with pecans?
00:17:22
Speaker
Nope.
00:17:23
Speaker
Nope.
Christmas Meal Anecdote
00:17:24
Speaker
Well, as long as there's enough other stuff so that I can't taste the pecan.
00:17:27
Speaker
Ah, got it.
00:17:28
Speaker
Okay.
00:17:29
Speaker
We got, we had, um, we, we did Christmas day meal with a whole bunch of friends and there was pecan pie served.
00:17:38
Speaker
Yes.
00:17:39
Speaker
There were nine of us at the table.
00:17:42
Speaker
There were eight of us that ate pecan pie.
00:17:46
Speaker
Sorry, excuse me.
00:17:47
Speaker
Eight of them.
00:17:48
Speaker
Eight of them that ate pecan pie.
00:17:52
Speaker
Is it corrected?
00:17:54
Speaker
You know what?
00:17:54
Speaker
That worked out.
00:17:55
Speaker
You know what, though?
00:17:55
Speaker
If you think about it, like that worked out great for everybody else.
00:17:58
Speaker
Ooh, more for me.
00:17:59
Speaker
Yeah, in fact, yeah, Becca had my piece.
00:18:02
Speaker
You're welcome.
00:18:02
Speaker
There you go.
00:18:03
Speaker
Knock yourself out.
00:18:05
Speaker
There was also a homemade whipped cream on the top, which I did sample.
00:18:10
Speaker
The whipped cream, very good.
00:18:12
Speaker
Could not taste the pecan.
00:18:13
Speaker
It was perfect.
00:18:16
Speaker
Exactly how I like my whipped cream.
00:18:19
Speaker
Let's see.
00:18:20
Speaker
Okay, so there's that.
00:18:21
Speaker
We're passing on the questionable prices from Doug.
00:18:28
Speaker
Billy Joel, Hitler.
00:18:29
Speaker
Passed on that?
00:18:32
Speaker
Passed on that?
00:18:33
Speaker
Okay.
00:18:34
Speaker
Oh, additional follow-up.
00:18:37
Speaker
Lisa asked for follow-up.
00:18:40
Speaker
on Bears postseason tickets.
00:18:42
Speaker
Yeah, a few weeks ago, you said that you would find out about, we were talking about postseason ticket prices, and we were joking about how both of our teams had to go find the notebook to how to sell postseason tickets.
00:18:54
Speaker
And you said that we would find out, you would find out the following day about what postseason tickets would look like for the Bears.
00:19:01
Speaker
And then there was no follow-up from there.
00:19:04
Speaker
So she was curious as to what postseason tickets look like for the Bears.
00:19:09
Speaker
So the problem that we have with our postseason tickets is the postseason game times.
00:19:19
Speaker
And we don't know when they're going to be.
00:19:22
Speaker
Yes.
00:19:23
Speaker
Because there are Saturday games, there are Sunday games, and there's a Monday night game.
00:19:28
Speaker
There is.
00:19:28
Speaker
Yes.
00:19:30
Speaker
Amy has her annual leadership retreat all day Monday, all day Tuesday, which is
00:19:37
Speaker
precludes us from a late Sunday game or anything on Monday.
00:19:44
Speaker
I'm reffing on Saturday afternoon late and which takes out any Saturday games.
00:19:52
Speaker
So the only window where we could actually go would be a Sunday noon game.
00:19:58
Speaker
And even that's kind of iffy because that's a killer day.
00:20:02
Speaker
That's a that's a get up and roll out of here at 5 a.m.
00:20:05
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:08
Speaker
do the game and then drive all the way back home after the game.
00:20:13
Speaker
And that is, that is just a, that's a brutal day.
00:20:16
Speaker
That's something that is, that's a young person's game is what that is.
00:20:22
Speaker
So we decided.
00:20:24
Speaker
And, and so then, so we're like, ah, boy, I don't know as much as we would love to go.
00:20:29
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:31
Speaker
Let's put the tickets on the ticket market, on the marketplace, and see what we can get for them.
00:20:36
Speaker
Because we looked, and what they're going for in our section,
00:20:40
Speaker
There were no tickets available in our section under $1,000 a piece.
00:20:46
Speaker
And the highest ones were $2,600 per seat.
00:20:48
Speaker
Oh, okay.
00:20:49
Speaker
I thought you were going to say there were no tickets available in your section at
Bears Postseason Tickets Resale
00:20:54
Speaker
all.
00:20:54
Speaker
Oh, no.
00:20:55
Speaker
And I was going to say, oh, yeah, that's because everybody else are real fans.
00:20:59
Speaker
But no, please continue.
00:21:02
Speaker
So we posted.
00:21:03
Speaker
And so Amy checked with her brother and sister.
00:21:06
Speaker
Julie doesn't like the cold.
00:21:07
Speaker
Mike's like, I don't know.
00:21:10
Speaker
Right at this point.
00:21:14
Speaker
So let's just post them.
00:21:15
Speaker
Let's see how much money we can get for them.
00:21:17
Speaker
Let's post them.
00:21:18
Speaker
Amy has sold two of them.
00:21:20
Speaker
We have made our money back.
00:21:23
Speaker
On the two.
00:21:25
Speaker
We have made our money back for all four by selling two.
00:21:32
Speaker
And here's the other thing.
00:21:33
Speaker
We also got, I don't know whether you care about this or not.
00:21:36
Speaker
We had the opportunity to buy up to four more seats.
00:21:40
Speaker
Oh.
00:21:41
Speaker
The day before they went on sale to the public.
00:21:43
Speaker
And I got a text from my buddy Aaron, who lives in Chicago.
00:21:47
Speaker
Hey, just in case you happen to get any, I'm sure you're getting bombarded with requests for this.
00:21:51
Speaker
But if you get any extra availability for an option for extra tickets as season ticket holders, let me know.
00:21:57
Speaker
I'm probably interested.
00:21:59
Speaker
So Aaron and I got on together when they went on sale and Aaron bought three tickets up in the nosebleed section for the wildcard game, TBD, and another set of tickets for the round two game, also TBD, assuming they make it that far.
00:22:21
Speaker
I don't know.
00:22:21
Speaker
We have nothing going on the second weekend.
00:22:24
Speaker
So if the Bears win week one,
00:22:28
Speaker
playoff weekend one, win the wildcard weekend, and have a home game week two.
00:22:35
Speaker
We will definitely be in the stadium for week two, come hell or high water.
00:22:40
Speaker
But first things first, beat the Lions tomorrow.
00:22:44
Speaker
So they are, I can suffice to say, they are not cheap.
00:22:52
Speaker
And the tickets available to season ticket holders in the public availability in the nosebleeds were more expensive than what I paid for my seats.
00:23:05
Speaker
And I paid through the nose.
00:23:10
Speaker
We got a little bit of a deal because we committed early.
00:23:13
Speaker
Okay.
00:23:15
Speaker
Like the left half of my nose.
00:23:17
Speaker
It was, yeah.
00:23:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:23:19
Speaker
Well, that new stadium will be built in no time at all with this extra money.
00:23:24
Speaker
See, there it is.
00:23:25
Speaker
I don't know.
00:23:28
Speaker
At this point, I don't know if your opinion about the Broncos is the same as my opinion about the Bears.
00:23:35
Speaker
We did not expect this this year.
00:23:37
Speaker
This is a total surprise.
00:23:39
Speaker
I love to win.
00:23:40
Speaker
I would love to see them continue to win.
00:23:42
Speaker
But at this point, anything is gravy.
00:23:45
Speaker
This is fantastic.
00:23:47
Speaker
We have a quarterback.
00:23:49
Speaker
They are fun to watch.
00:23:52
Speaker
I need to take heart medicine when it gets to the fourth quarter almost every week.
00:23:57
Speaker
But, you know, for me, everything this season, everything from here on out is gravy.
00:24:04
Speaker
Did not expect anything beyond this.
00:24:07
Speaker
It's fantastic.
00:24:10
Speaker
I will say this.
00:24:11
Speaker
I, for my team, I attended their last postseason home game.
00:24:19
Speaker
I was in the stadium.
00:24:21
Speaker
That was the AFC championship game.
00:24:23
Speaker
Peyton Manning's last home game when they went on to win the Superbowl.
00:24:28
Speaker
Okay.
00:24:29
Speaker
That's been a while.
00:24:32
Speaker
Oh yeah.
00:24:32
Speaker
He's been retired for quite a, quite, he's been retired long enough to be into the hall of fame.
00:24:37
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:38
Speaker
So anyway, yes, I got to go to some playoff games a while ago.
00:24:42
Speaker
So are you, are you planning on making a trip to Denver?
00:24:47
Speaker
Not, not, not this time.
00:24:48
Speaker
No, not this time.
00:24:49
Speaker
That is no.
00:24:50
Speaker
So not on the table.
00:24:52
Speaker
Okay.
00:24:52
Speaker
No.
00:24:54
Speaker
Um, a quick piece of followup.
00:24:57
Speaker
Um, I think we talked about it when, uh, the pro shot taping of good night and good luck with George Clooney on Broadway was broadcast on HBO.
'Good Night and Good Luck' on Netflix
00:25:09
Speaker
Uh, CNN.
00:25:10
Speaker
CNN.
00:25:11
Speaker
Thank you.
00:25:12
Speaker
I said, corrected.
00:25:13
Speaker
Thank you.
00:25:14
Speaker
Um,
00:25:16
Speaker
It was broadcast on CNN.
00:25:17
Speaker
It is now coming to Netflix on Wednesday.
00:25:23
Speaker
Oh, Wednesday, January 7th.
00:25:26
Speaker
It will be available on Netflix in the US, the UK and other select regions.
00:25:31
Speaker
And I only say that because I know we do have select downloads from the UK and other select regions.
00:25:37
Speaker
So select regions.
00:25:38
Speaker
Yes.
00:25:39
Speaker
Yes.
00:25:39
Speaker
Yes.
00:25:40
Speaker
Overseas toddlers.
00:25:42
Speaker
You're welcome.
00:25:45
Speaker
If you didn't catch Good Night and Good Luck when it was on CNN, highly recommend.
00:25:51
Speaker
It wouldn't be a Talking to Todd episode without Waymo follow-up.
Waymo Cars and Automation
00:25:57
Speaker
And this one gives us, I read this one and I was going to do it as follow-up.
00:26:03
Speaker
And then I thought, wait a minute, this is an extra Dwayne Guess a Number opportunity.
00:26:08
Speaker
So Dwayne, let me set the stage for you.
00:26:13
Speaker
So the Waymo has no driver, right?
00:26:16
Speaker
So if a person takes a Waymo and gets out of the Waymo and doesn't close the door, just leaves it wide open and leaves, that car is out of service until the door is closed.
00:26:31
Speaker
Right.
00:26:32
Speaker
Can't just drive.
00:26:33
Speaker
I mean, quite frankly, if you drive away, eventually that door will close.
00:26:37
Speaker
Right.
00:26:37
Speaker
You just get close enough to a telephone pole.
00:26:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:40
Speaker
Something will close it.
00:26:42
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:42
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:26:43
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:43
Speaker
But they apparently they don't want to do that.
00:26:45
Speaker
So one of the things they do.
00:26:52
Speaker
It's not like Waymo has a fleet of people to go out and do these things.
00:26:55
Speaker
So.
00:26:59
Speaker
They have, they offer tow truck companies.
00:27:04
Speaker
There's an app that can offer tow truck companies pay to go out and close the door of a Waymo so that the car can go back in service.
00:27:17
Speaker
Do you want to guess how much a tow truck company in Los Angeles is offered for
00:27:25
Speaker
to go find a Waymo and close the door.
00:27:29
Speaker
I believe my answer here needs to be 74 cents.
00:27:36
Speaker
Is that is another 12 cent thing?
00:27:38
Speaker
Is that what it is?
00:27:39
Speaker
You are low.
00:27:41
Speaker
Oh, oh, well, I feel so much better.
00:27:44
Speaker
I don't know.
00:27:49
Speaker
20 bucks.
00:27:51
Speaker
You know what?
00:27:52
Speaker
Give yourself a bell.
00:27:54
Speaker
Really?
00:27:58
Speaker
They are offered, generally speaking, somewhere between $22 to $24 to go out and close the door of a Waymo.
00:28:07
Speaker
Bob Barker rules.
00:28:07
Speaker
I was close without going over.
00:28:10
Speaker
Interesting fact, however, according to the article, the tow truck drivers says that it's not usually worth it.
00:28:18
Speaker
And this is what the scary part is.
00:28:20
Speaker
Because Waymo doesn't know or doesn't tell them exactly where the Waymo is.
00:28:25
Speaker
It's just in this area.
00:28:28
Speaker
Oh, God.
00:28:29
Speaker
So they said they have spent more than an hour driving around in their tow truck looking for a parked Waymo with a door open, which actually doesn't make it worth their money.
00:28:40
Speaker
You know, if you were.
00:28:42
Speaker
It might not be bad for, you know, a person with an e-bike that could, you know, zip around.
00:28:47
Speaker
Yeah.
00:28:50
Speaker
So, you know, I would be, I could volunteer to cover this 20 block area.
00:29:02
Speaker
Right?
00:29:03
Speaker
So that I'm, you know, I'm generically in the area anyway.
00:29:06
Speaker
If I lived in Phoenix, right?
00:29:09
Speaker
And I could ride my bike 12 months out of the year.
00:29:13
Speaker
I would be willing to sign up for that for an extra, you know, you would think.
00:29:19
Speaker
So here's a relative example.
00:29:25
Speaker
We pay the fraternity kids $25 every time they mow the lawn.
00:29:31
Speaker
Okay.
00:29:32
Speaker
during the summer.
00:29:33
Speaker
During the school year, the fraternity is expected to mow its lawn, period.
00:29:39
Speaker
You know, you guys are responsible for that.
00:29:41
Speaker
But in the summer, the alumni would then be responsible.
00:29:45
Speaker
I will pay you $25 to mow the lawn, right?
00:29:48
Speaker
Just out of, but because you're in the area and they do it for beer money.
00:29:55
Speaker
If it were me and we had Waymo around here, you know, I could cover a certain radius.
00:30:02
Speaker
If there was a Waymo in distress, you just, you know, notify me on an app.
00:30:06
Speaker
Hey, sure, I'll sign up for that.
00:30:08
Speaker
I'll cover this block.
00:30:09
Speaker
I'm not driving across town to do it.
00:30:11
Speaker
And I'm not hunting for an hour.
00:30:13
Speaker
But, you know, as long as I'm in the area and I'm not doing anything else, I do it for beer money.
00:30:18
Speaker
I think you could sign up fraternities for that.
00:30:22
Speaker
Well...
00:30:24
Speaker
As the reporter for the Washington Post to report this said, quote, the door closing and towing gigs being picked up by Maroneco and others in Los Angeles area are examples of how as automation advances, it can create new work for humans pressed into service to patch over its shortcomings.
00:30:44
Speaker
Yes.
00:30:44
Speaker
So instead of driving people around, you can just drive around and close doors.
00:30:49
Speaker
Yep.
00:30:50
Speaker
Here's the future.
00:30:51
Speaker
This is great.
00:30:54
Speaker
I also, I have to say, I find it a bit disconcerting that Waymo doesn't know exactly where the car is.
00:31:01
Speaker
I was wondering how long it was taking you to get to that point because I was like, what do you mean you don't know where the car is?
00:31:08
Speaker
Because what we've heard from them is when there's a four-way stop, it has to have a remote driver kind of understand which intersections it's at and it's safe to go.
00:31:18
Speaker
But if you don't know where the car is, what are they doing?
00:31:20
Speaker
They're just sort of like, it's at an intersection.
00:31:23
Speaker
I don't know which one.
00:31:24
Speaker
I don't know.
00:31:25
Speaker
Seems good.
00:31:27
Speaker
Looks good to me.
00:31:28
Speaker
Sure.
00:31:28
Speaker
Why not?
00:31:32
Speaker
The cars are generally in this area.
00:31:34
Speaker
Maybe.
00:31:35
Speaker
Maybe.
00:31:36
Speaker
I don't know.
00:31:37
Speaker
They're parked in front of that person's house.
00:31:40
Speaker
They know where they are.
00:31:42
Speaker
It's in one of those two parking spots.
00:31:43
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:44
Speaker
Phyllis knows.
00:31:45
Speaker
Jeez.
00:31:47
Speaker
God.
00:31:48
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:48
Speaker
Anyway, good news.
00:31:49
Speaker
New jobs are being created by automation.
00:31:52
Speaker
Closing car doors.
00:31:53
Speaker
Yeah.
Basketball Game Insights
00:31:55
Speaker
Luckily, though, that was not the official Dwayne Gessen number segment because I think that's up now.
00:32:03
Speaker
Oh, it isn't yet.
00:32:04
Speaker
No, you you wait.
00:32:05
Speaker
Hold on.
00:32:05
Speaker
Sorry.
00:32:06
Speaker
You put something else in there.
00:32:08
Speaker
We got it.
00:32:08
Speaker
We got to make a quick trip to Dwayne's technical corner.
00:32:13
Speaker
I I worked a freshman boys game this afternoon.
00:32:20
Speaker
OK, and it went it went pretty typical for freshman boys games for me.
00:32:32
Speaker
I have to say, I give more technicals during freshman boys games than at any other level.
00:32:39
Speaker
Oh, excellent.
00:32:40
Speaker
It is almost a one-to-one ratio because I have zero tolerance for knuckleheads.
00:32:48
Speaker
And there is a preponderance of knuckleheadedness in
00:32:54
Speaker
At the ninth grade boys level generic.
00:32:58
Speaker
I played ninth grade boys basketball barely one and a half minutes at a time, but I did and I can concur.
00:33:08
Speaker
And we're we're in the second half and it's a it's a tight game.
00:33:11
Speaker
It's a it's just a two person crew.
00:33:13
Speaker
And I don't do that very often either.
00:33:16
Speaker
Yeah.
00:33:18
Speaker
But it's a competitive game.
00:33:21
Speaker
It's probably, I don't know, six or eight points, maybe 10 points.
00:33:25
Speaker
And the player from the home team shot a three-pointer and missed.
00:33:33
Speaker
And the big guy from the visiting team said inappropriate things to him about his ability to shoot a basketball.
00:33:43
Speaker
Got it.
00:33:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:33:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:33:45
Speaker
I have to say, while he didn't say anything profane, what he did say was unsportsmanlike and taunting.
00:33:56
Speaker
So then we shot free throws.
00:33:58
Speaker
I do want to say that I don't think I should be held accountable on the toilets to technicals ratio.
00:34:06
Speaker
for these freshman boys games because of the general atmosphere of knuckleheadedness that occurs in those games.
00:34:16
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fine.
00:34:17
Speaker
Yeah, we can we can we can wave those games.
00:34:20
Speaker
Yeah, that's a that's a freebie.
00:34:22
Speaker
Yeah, that's that's kind of like counting Russell's touchdowns in the preseason.
00:34:27
Speaker
Thank you.
00:34:27
Speaker
Right.
00:34:28
Speaker
Yes, exactly.
00:34:29
Speaker
Yeah, we don't I don't think he had any.
00:34:30
Speaker
But if he did, you know, we should count that.
00:34:32
Speaker
We wouldn't count those.
00:34:35
Speaker
So we're still at one technical at the varsity level against three toilets in the house for those of you keeping track.
00:34:42
Speaker
So there's that.
00:34:45
Speaker
I'm glad we made sure we got that one in.
00:34:50
Speaker
Dwayne's never going to guess it.
00:34:52
Speaker
Who, me?
00:34:53
Speaker
Never, ever going to guess it.
00:34:54
Speaker
I don't know.
00:34:55
Speaker
No, Dwayne's never going to guess it.
00:34:56
Speaker
Yas, queen.
00:34:57
Speaker
Never, ever going to guess it.
00:35:00
Speaker
Okay, so that sound means it's time for America's Favorite Game.
00:35:05
Speaker
It's time for Dwayne Guess a Number.
00:35:07
Speaker
Okay, hit me.
00:35:08
Speaker
Okay, all right.
00:35:09
Speaker
This is going to involve you guessing six numbers to equal 100%.
00:35:15
Speaker
So there is going to be some math involved.
00:35:17
Speaker
Oh God, I'm so screwed.
00:35:20
Speaker
Yep.
00:35:20
Speaker
So in the last week, my YouTube algorithm offered up about a 10 minute thing on how M&Ms are made by the Made Vision YouTube channel.
00:35:34
Speaker
And I was like, okay, sure.
00:35:36
Speaker
You know what?
00:35:36
Speaker
I'll watch it.
00:35:38
Speaker
In that, they talked about the official color, the color distribution of
00:35:44
Speaker
The distribution of colors in an M&M's package.
00:35:50
Speaker
Oh, yes.
00:35:51
Speaker
So.
00:35:54
Speaker
So, Dwayne, let me start with this.
00:35:56
Speaker
Do you know how many colors are in an M&M's package?
00:36:03
Speaker
Green.
00:36:04
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:06
Speaker
Because that's the one that Tucker Carlson thinks is hot.
00:36:10
Speaker
Yep.
00:36:10
Speaker
Yep.
Guessing M&M Color Distribution
00:36:14
Speaker
Yellow, blue, light brown, and dark brown.
00:36:22
Speaker
Are there five?
00:36:24
Speaker
There are six colors.
00:36:27
Speaker
You were close.
00:36:28
Speaker
So you got green, yellow, blue.
00:36:31
Speaker
There's brown.
00:36:33
Speaker
There's an orange.
00:36:34
Speaker
And there's red.
00:36:35
Speaker
Oh, there is red?
00:36:37
Speaker
There is red.
00:36:38
Speaker
I thought they got rid of red M&M's.
00:36:42
Speaker
I don't know.
00:36:45
Speaker
I thought RFK got rid of anything with red dye in it.
00:36:49
Speaker
Never mind.
00:36:49
Speaker
Sorry.
00:36:50
Speaker
Okay.
00:36:50
Speaker
Please.
00:36:51
Speaker
Sorry.
00:36:51
Speaker
Yes.
00:36:51
Speaker
Okay.
00:36:52
Speaker
So with those six colors in mind, on the plain package, because the distribution is different for the peanut package, for the plain package with those six colors, Dwayne, what is the distribution of colors in plain M&Ms?
00:37:12
Speaker
Okay, so let's say brown is 22%.
00:37:18
Speaker
All right, I'll lock that in.
00:37:22
Speaker
I'm going to let you guess all of them first here.
00:37:24
Speaker
Yeah, I'm keeping track of what you said.
00:37:26
Speaker
You might want to keep track of... I might want to write this down so that I don't come up with 110% again.
00:37:30
Speaker
All right, you got 100.
00:37:32
Speaker
Okay, you got 78% left to distribute here.
00:37:34
Speaker
Let's say green is 10%.
00:37:43
Speaker
said 10.
00:37:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:37:45
Speaker
Okay.
00:37:48
Speaker
Red is 15.
00:37:49
Speaker
Okay.
00:37:53
Speaker
Yellow is the same.
00:37:55
Speaker
Another 15.
00:37:55
Speaker
Okay.
00:37:59
Speaker
Brown, green, red, yellow, blue.
00:38:04
Speaker
I think blue is probably also the same.
00:38:06
Speaker
Let's say that's another 15.
00:38:08
Speaker
So now where are we?
00:38:10
Speaker
One, two, three, four, five, six, 75, 77.
00:38:16
Speaker
That puts orange at 23%.
00:38:22
Speaker
Is that a hundred?
00:38:23
Speaker
I'm hoping that is.
00:38:26
Speaker
I'm hoping you're keeping track.
00:38:30
Speaker
That would look like 100 to me, I believe.
00:38:32
Speaker
Yep.
00:38:32
Speaker
Okay, let's lock that in.
00:38:33
Speaker
Yeah.
00:38:34
Speaker
Brown, 22.
00:38:35
Speaker
Green, 10.
00:38:36
Speaker
Red, 15.
00:38:37
Speaker
Yellow, 15.
00:38:38
Speaker
Blue, 15.
00:38:41
Speaker
Orange, 23.
00:38:42
Speaker
That's off.
00:38:43
Speaker
That's off.
00:38:44
Speaker
I don't look right.
00:38:49
Speaker
I don't look right.
00:38:51
Speaker
But that's the number that I've got left.
00:38:53
Speaker
So just out of curiosity.
00:38:58
Speaker
Yes.
00:38:59
Speaker
If they're divided equally, it's 16.6%.
00:39:03
Speaker
I think my answer should be 16.66%.
00:39:05
Speaker
I think the fact that people think that there's a different distribution doesn't exist, and it's actually 16.66%.
00:39:15
Speaker
After I worked through all of that, let's stick with that.
00:39:18
Speaker
I'm locking in, Pierce.
00:39:22
Speaker
Whatever.
00:39:23
Speaker
Anyway, 16.667%.
00:39:27
Speaker
Okay.
00:39:27
Speaker
You're sure about that.
00:39:29
Speaker
You think I'm messing with you by asking?
00:39:30
Speaker
Yeah.
00:39:31
Speaker
Okay.
00:39:31
Speaker
I think, yes, I think you're messing with me.
00:39:33
Speaker
Okay.
00:39:35
Speaker
Good news.
00:39:36
Speaker
You were wrong twice.
00:39:38
Speaker
So your, your original guess was mostly off and your second, and your second guess that there is equal distribution is,
00:39:56
Speaker
itself is also completely off.
00:39:58
Speaker
Also off.
00:39:59
Speaker
OK, fantastic.
00:40:01
Speaker
OK, so I hope you did better than I did.
00:40:05
Speaker
Lisa, what's the answer?
00:40:08
Speaker
OK, coming in at number one is blue with 24 percent.
00:40:14
Speaker
Really?
00:40:19
Speaker
The second most, uh, frequent, uh, color in a plain M&Ms is orange at 20%.
00:40:27
Speaker
Now you did have orange at 23% as the most you were, you were within shouting distance there.
00:40:36
Speaker
Okay.
00:40:36
Speaker
Um, the next one comes in at green comes in at 16%.
00:40:41
Speaker
So right at that sort of equal distribution mark, um, you had that at the lowest, um,
00:40:49
Speaker
Yellow.
00:40:50
Speaker
Now you had yellow at 15%.
00:40:54
Speaker
That's close.
00:40:54
Speaker
Yellow is at 14%.
00:40:57
Speaker
So that one you were pretty close on.
00:40:59
Speaker
I mean, that's pretty much you could give yourself a bell on that one if you really wanted to.
00:41:06
Speaker
I think I should also get a bell for green on my second guess because it was 16th.
00:41:11
Speaker
If you guess enough, eventually you should get bells on all of those.
00:41:14
Speaker
Right, exactly.
00:41:15
Speaker
Sure, right?
00:41:15
Speaker
That's what I'm saying.
00:41:16
Speaker
So where's red?
00:41:19
Speaker
Red then comes in.
00:41:21
Speaker
Red and brown are tied at 13%.
00:41:26
Speaker
You did have brown at 22%.
00:41:27
Speaker
Yeah, I thought there were more browns, and they're not.
00:41:34
Speaker
However...
00:41:35
Speaker
This current mixture was put in place in 2008.
00:41:41
Speaker
Prior to 2008, brown was the leading color.
00:41:46
Speaker
And after years of taste tests, brown was relegated down and blue was placed at the top.
00:41:54
Speaker
They all taste, I mean, they're Froot Loops.
00:41:56
Speaker
They all taste the same.
00:42:00
Speaker
Apparently people, um, people thought that was, yeah.
00:42:07
Speaker
Um, so I, I, I'm going to have to say I eat more peanut M&Ms than I eat regular M&Ms.
00:42:19
Speaker
Yes, me too.
00:42:20
Speaker
Uh, that's, I, I pretty much exclusively peanut M&Ms.
00:42:24
Speaker
Um, um,
00:42:25
Speaker
That distribution is similar but different and doesn't help you at all.
00:42:28
Speaker
So the distribution, in case you're wondering, it is in the exact same order as the regular ones.
00:42:38
Speaker
Blue comes in at 23%.
00:42:39
Speaker
Orange pops up to 23%.
00:42:39
Speaker
Green and yellow are at 15%.
00:42:40
Speaker
And red and brown are at 12%.
00:42:42
Speaker
So I got yellow correct.
00:42:55
Speaker
Every time, every time I got yellow correct and within the margin of error.
00:43:01
Speaker
It's the only one that I got right out of like 45 different options.
00:43:06
Speaker
Yes.
00:43:07
Speaker
Yeah.
00:43:09
Speaker
So there you go.
00:43:12
Speaker
Yes.
00:43:14
Speaker
Oh my God.
00:43:15
Speaker
Nice.
00:43:15
Speaker
Very nice.
00:43:16
Speaker
Again, something that I'm very familiar with and have no clue about.
00:43:22
Speaker
Literally no idea.
00:43:23
Speaker
That's a perfect Dwayne guess a number.
00:43:26
Speaker
Try to kick off 2026 on a strong note.
00:43:30
Speaker
Solid work.
00:43:32
Speaker
I see you wrote in the rundown that this was going to be about M&Ms.
00:43:37
Speaker
Yes.
00:43:39
Speaker
And I was going to snap back to reality and hope there goes gravity.
00:43:45
Speaker
I figured that was the M&Ms that you were going to quiz me on.
00:43:49
Speaker
But that was not the case.
00:43:52
Speaker
It's unfortunate.
00:43:54
Speaker
No, but now you've given me an idea.
00:43:56
Speaker
Eminem trivia.
00:43:57
Speaker
Know what's coming next.
00:44:01
Speaker
How many white t-shirts does he own?
00:44:03
Speaker
Anyway.
00:44:05
Speaker
All right.
00:44:06
Speaker
Let's see.
00:44:06
Speaker
Is it time for... Did you bring some idiots this week?
00:44:11
Speaker
I brought one idiot.
00:44:12
Speaker
Okay.
00:44:14
Speaker
So I was...
00:44:17
Speaker
I'm not nominating the entire internet, but I'm nominating this particular user.
00:44:25
Speaker
Did you know, here's a Todd, did you know?
00:44:28
Speaker
So Steven Spielberg's original
Temporal Gap in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'
00:44:32
Speaker
Raiders of the Lost Ark, since rebranded Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, when it was released in 1981, the film's action was set in 1936.
00:44:48
Speaker
Okay.
00:44:49
Speaker
A gap of 45 years.
00:44:52
Speaker
Okay.
00:44:53
Speaker
If Steven Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark was released today and was set 45 years ago, the film would take place in 1981.
00:45:04
Speaker
We have reached the fulcrum year where Raiders is as long ago to us as the narrative of Raiders was to the audience when it premiered.
00:45:18
Speaker
I'm just saying, be kind to your Gen X friends today.
00:45:22
Speaker
We're brittle.
00:45:27
Speaker
That was what I found on the internet.
00:45:29
Speaker
I thought it was funny.
00:45:30
Speaker
Uh, and also just a little idiotic.
00:45:34
Speaker
Anyway, uh, that was what I brought for idiots of the week this week.
00:45:37
Speaker
Uh, I I'm not nominating Gen X. I'm not anyway.
00:45:41
Speaker
Um,
00:45:43
Speaker
Raiders go watch Raiders.
00:45:45
Speaker
I, you know, I watched Raiders within the last month.
00:45:48
Speaker
I rewatched it, not watched it for the first time.
00:45:52
Speaker
I've actually seen this movie before.
00:45:54
Speaker
Yes.
00:45:54
Speaker
Rewatched it.
00:45:56
Speaker
It's so funny.
00:46:00
Speaker
I, there are, it's just, I, Alfred Molina bit part, fantastic work.
00:46:10
Speaker
I don't know.
00:46:10
Speaker
Anyway.
00:46:13
Speaker
I love Raiders of the Lost Ark.
00:46:14
Speaker
Just wanted to say that.
00:46:15
Speaker
What'd you bring?
00:46:20
Speaker
So I've recommended on the what we're watching segment here a couple of times going on YouTube and watching Stormtrooper blogs featuring TK42 Greg.
00:46:31
Speaker
We've talked about that.
00:46:32
Speaker
We have.
00:46:33
Speaker
Going to Best Spend and.
00:46:34
Speaker
Wow, that's a long way down.
00:46:36
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:39
Speaker
He's also the one who always gives a cube, a cube review of their ration.
00:46:45
Speaker
Right.
00:46:46
Speaker
Smells like wet feet and regret.
00:46:49
Speaker
Yes.
00:46:52
Speaker
I've watched some of these.
00:46:53
Speaker
Yes.
00:46:53
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:54
Speaker
So over the holiday season, I was like, Hey, I haven't seen him recently.
00:46:58
Speaker
I should go find out what they've, and I couldn't find him.
00:47:01
Speaker
He was gone.
00:47:02
Speaker
Now I will say this.
00:47:03
Speaker
There were a number of them saying that they were TK 42 Greg, but I knew the channel that does, it's called artificial cheese.
00:47:09
Speaker
There's some other storm trooper blogs.
00:47:11
Speaker
They're not funny.
00:47:13
Speaker
They're not, this is all AI generated.
00:47:16
Speaker
Um, yeah,
00:47:17
Speaker
The ones I specifically said from artificial cheese were humorous sometimes, et cetera.
00:47:23
Speaker
I'm like, they're just gone.
00:47:24
Speaker
I told Lisa, I'm like, I can't even find them.
00:47:25
Speaker
She goes, did you look on the internet?
00:47:26
Speaker
Did you, did you search for him?
00:47:27
Speaker
Like, no, I haven't looked.
00:47:28
Speaker
She's like, you know, you could ask the internet.
00:47:31
Speaker
So I don't know if you know, about three weeks ago, Disney announced that they had signed a $1 billion licensing deal with Sora from open AI to allow the,
00:47:48
Speaker
characters to be used in Sora so that people could generate content using Disney characters.
00:47:56
Speaker
Yeah.
00:47:57
Speaker
The following day, Disney then sent a cease and desist order to Google to take down all copyrighted material from their platforms that were generated with AI platforms that were not Sora.
00:48:11
Speaker
Yeah.
00:48:14
Speaker
TK42 Greg was part of the takedown order.
00:48:18
Speaker
So all of those videos are now gone.
00:48:22
Speaker
Just gone.
00:48:24
Speaker
Poof, gone.
00:48:25
Speaker
Can't get to them.
00:48:26
Speaker
I mean, I'm sure they could probably fall off the back of a truck somewhere if you knew where to look.
00:48:32
Speaker
But without having to go look for them in those kind of places, they're just gone.
00:48:38
Speaker
This was kind of an Order 66 deal.
00:48:41
Speaker
Just everybody wiped out.
00:48:42
Speaker
All the Padawans, everybody.
00:48:45
Speaker
Every.
00:48:48
Speaker
Except for you over there in the open AI spaceship ready to go.
00:48:52
Speaker
Yes.
00:48:55
Speaker
Now.
Disney's Cease and Desist Impact
00:48:57
Speaker
Should I be shocked that Disney sent a cease and desist order about its intellectual property?
00:49:03
Speaker
No, no, that's that's kind of what they're known for.
00:49:07
Speaker
On the other hand, a ton of Stormtrooper blogs are still on YouTube.
00:49:14
Speaker
A ridiculous amount.
00:49:15
Speaker
And what I will say is, having watched some of the more recent Star Wars stuff, I would say that the TK-42 Gregg series from Artificial Cheese was at least as entertaining as almost anything that has come out of Lucasfilm in the last 10 to 15 years.
00:49:30
Speaker
I don't think they took it down for intellectual property violations.
00:49:33
Speaker
I think they took it down because they made them look bad.
00:49:35
Speaker
So anyway, I'm just, who's the idiot here?
00:49:39
Speaker
I'm a little annoyed that Disney said, oh, no, no, you can generate all of those, but you got to use the open AI platform.
00:49:47
Speaker
So anyway, if you're going back through the catalog and you're listening, I should go watch those.
00:49:53
Speaker
Yeah, you should have because now they're gone.
00:49:56
Speaker
And I'm annoyed.
00:49:58
Speaker
So for all of you out there, may your boots stay dry.
00:50:00
Speaker
Okay.
00:50:06
Speaker
Let's see.
00:50:07
Speaker
So let's see.
00:50:08
Speaker
What are we watching this week?
00:50:11
Speaker
So I said that I bought Sports Night.
00:50:17
Speaker
Yes.
00:50:19
Speaker
I'm almost done with it.
00:50:20
Speaker
I think I have five episodes left.
00:50:22
Speaker
I've been, I have been slow binging it.
00:50:24
Speaker
I've been trying to not watch more than three episodes at a crack.
00:50:28
Speaker
They're only 19 to 20 minutes long.
00:50:32
Speaker
Once all the commercials are taken out, they don't even get, they don't even get to 22 minutes.
00:50:39
Speaker
Well, if you take out the commercials and then you also does, does the, does, does it have the laugh track that they put in it?
00:50:46
Speaker
It does have a laugh track.
00:50:47
Speaker
Oh my God.
00:50:48
Speaker
That's just terrible.
00:50:50
Speaker
Yep.
00:50:50
Speaker
It's not shot in front of a live studio audience.
00:50:52
Speaker
It's literally on it anyway.
00:50:54
Speaker
Okay.
00:50:54
Speaker
That's fine.
00:50:55
Speaker
Yep.
00:50:55
Speaker
Yep.
00:50:56
Speaker
So watching that.
00:50:57
Speaker
And as I mentioned, the West wing dropped on Netflix, Amy and I are rewatching it together.
Rewatching 'The West Wing'
00:51:05
Speaker
And you said, oh, are you already through two cathedrals?
00:51:09
Speaker
We finished two cathedrals a couple of nights ago.
00:51:12
Speaker
We're also Amy's.
00:51:14
Speaker
So we're lying in bed last night.
00:51:16
Speaker
Do you want to watch another one?
00:51:17
Speaker
Sure.
00:51:18
Speaker
Let's watch another one.
00:51:19
Speaker
Okay, great.
00:51:19
Speaker
We'll watch another one.
00:51:20
Speaker
She's like, it's like a really good book that you just can't put down.
00:51:28
Speaker
It's so good.
00:51:29
Speaker
If you know what, if you haven't watched West Wing lately, I
00:51:34
Speaker
it is better than almost anything else that's out on TV right now.
00:51:38
Speaker
Still, it's still really good.
00:51:41
Speaker
I can also tell you that you guys are still within the first four seasons.
00:51:46
Speaker
Oh yes, we are.
00:51:47
Speaker
I'm not sure that we'll go past season four.
00:51:50
Speaker
When we get to the end of season four, there's going to be a discussion about how much more we're going to watch.
00:51:57
Speaker
Does shift in tone a little bit.
00:51:59
Speaker
It does.
00:52:00
Speaker
Now I will say I like Josh.
00:52:02
Speaker
I like, um,
00:52:06
Speaker
Josh, Josh Molina.
00:52:09
Speaker
Yeah.
00:52:10
Speaker
Yeah.
00:52:13
Speaker
The number of people as I'm watching, because I'm watching at the same time.
00:52:19
Speaker
Sports Night that Sorkin was writing at the same time that he was writing the first season of West Wing.
00:52:27
Speaker
You know, so there's this crossover.
00:52:29
Speaker
the language, some of the exchanges are the same.
00:52:34
Speaker
Some of the stories are the, it, one of the, um, one of the characters was having a meltdown because his dad had been having an affair with a woman for the last 27 years.
00:52:48
Speaker
And in the other show, he'd been having an affair with a woman for the last 28 years.
00:52:53
Speaker
Aaron, which show were you writing?
00:52:55
Speaker
Doesn't matter.
00:52:56
Speaker
Just doesn't.
00:52:58
Speaker
Here's some good stuff.
00:52:59
Speaker
There is some good stuff.
00:53:00
Speaker
What are you, by the way, by the way, I do believe, uh, I think if the Apple, uh, sale is still going on, I think you can get the entire West wing for, uh, all the episodes, I think for $35.
00:53:14
Speaker
Um, if, if you just need to hang on to them in case, you know, cause as they, it's like the tide on all of these, right?
00:53:20
Speaker
Like it comes in, it comes in Netflix and then it goes out and then it's gone for a while and then it shows up someplace else.
00:53:27
Speaker
Anyway, I think you can still watch it on HBO.
00:53:30
Speaker
Can I, you know how on, um,
00:53:35
Speaker
On the edge on the educated idiots podcast, they used to do a segment about what grinds Dan's gears.
00:53:43
Speaker
Hey, Dan, what grinds your gears?
00:53:45
Speaker
You remember that?
00:53:46
Speaker
Yes.
00:53:48
Speaker
The thing that grinds my gears.
00:53:50
Speaker
The first episode in the West Wing for season three, that was Isaac and Ishmael.
00:53:57
Speaker
Yes.
00:53:58
Speaker
An episode at a time.
00:54:00
Speaker
It was.
00:54:01
Speaker
It was.
00:54:02
Speaker
It was an episode at a time.
00:54:03
Speaker
It was the first episode back after 9-11.
00:54:05
Speaker
On Netflix, they took out...
00:54:13
Speaker
the introduction that the cast did explaining that this is an episode out of time.
00:54:21
Speaker
Don't think too hard about where this fits into the timeline because it doesn't, but it's the same characters.
00:54:27
Speaker
And this is a play that we're putting on.
00:54:29
Speaker
Just enjoy it.
00:54:31
Speaker
Right.
00:54:32
Speaker
That context.
00:54:33
Speaker
If you don't have that context and you finish two cathedrals and you go to, what the hell is this?
00:54:41
Speaker
Yeah.
00:54:42
Speaker
So I had to go to YouTube and pull it up so that we could watch it and watch that context here.
00:54:50
Speaker
Just enjoy this.
00:54:52
Speaker
And we'll be back next week with the continuation of the story from last week.
00:54:57
Speaker
And we find out all of these things and fantastic.
00:55:00
Speaker
Anyway, that's what grinds my gears.
00:55:01
Speaker
Why not just leave that in there?
00:55:03
Speaker
Anyway, what are you watching?
00:55:06
Speaker
Okay.
00:55:06
Speaker
So for the last month or so, we haven't had much to report.
00:55:08
Speaker
Boy, we fixed that.
00:55:10
Speaker
Okay.
00:55:11
Speaker
So.
00:55:11
Speaker
Oh my God.
00:55:12
Speaker
Yes.
00:55:13
Speaker
So let's
RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18
00:55:15
Speaker
see.
00:55:15
Speaker
Starting last night, RuPaul season 18, the main show is back.
00:55:20
Speaker
So that started last night.
00:55:24
Speaker
I believe that's on Paramount Plus.
00:55:28
Speaker
No, it's on MTV.
00:55:31
Speaker
I didn't even know MTV was still around.
00:55:32
Speaker
I think we had to watch it on – I think it will eventually – anyway.
00:55:35
Speaker
I don't know.
00:55:35
Speaker
Very hard to track where this is.
00:55:37
Speaker
I had to go look up a couple of times to figure out where that was.
00:55:41
Speaker
Also for TV, we did watch the Great British Bake Off Holidays.
00:55:45
Speaker
So every year they do one for Christmas and one for New Year's.
00:55:48
Speaker
That's on Netflix.
00:55:51
Speaker
The weird part about this is we now get the Great British Bake Off basically the exact same time it releases in England.
00:55:59
Speaker
But for reasons that I don't understand, the holiday version that they release, we are a full year behind.
00:56:08
Speaker
So...
00:56:10
Speaker
We get a year old version of this.
00:56:12
Speaker
So in the, they're wishing everybody a happy, happy and safe 2025.
00:56:19
Speaker
Well, that didn't work.
00:56:20
Speaker
Let's try it again.
00:56:21
Speaker
Anyway.
00:56:22
Speaker
So I don't, I don't know why we're off, but okay.
00:56:25
Speaker
That's that's fine.
00:56:27
Speaker
And then we did, we did watch a few movies.
00:56:29
Speaker
So we watched black bag with Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett on Amazon.
00:56:36
Speaker
It's a spy thriller that was released in theaters in February.
00:56:40
Speaker
Um, it is, uh, there is, uh, essentially no action in it.
00:56:46
Speaker
It's, it's all, it's a spy thriller.
00:56:48
Speaker
That's a lot of talkie talkie with no one gun gets fired in the entire thing.
00:56:56
Speaker
I believe, um, not was that not what I was expecting.
00:57:01
Speaker
Um, but you know, it's kind of a psychological spy thing.
00:57:06
Speaker
Um, but,
00:57:08
Speaker
The night before that, we watched The Lost Bus on Apple TV, Apple TV, on Apple TV, on Apple TV.
00:57:16
Speaker
That's about a true story from the fire in Paradise, California in 2018.
Film Discussion: 'The Last Bus'
00:57:24
Speaker
And a bus driver and a teacher had 22 kids on a bus and was trying to get them out of Paradise.
00:57:30
Speaker
as the entire town was burning.
00:57:32
Speaker
So that's Matthew McConaughey and, uh, America.
00:57:36
Speaker
Is it America?
00:57:38
Speaker
For, for our, for Rara, for Rara.
00:57:42
Speaker
There you go.
00:57:43
Speaker
That sounds more right.
00:57:44
Speaker
Um, good.
00:57:46
Speaker
It's, it's a very, very tense film.
00:57:48
Speaker
Um, we also watched the new knives out mystery, uh, wake up dead man, um, on Netflix.
00:57:56
Speaker
Highly recommend.
00:57:58
Speaker
That was an interesting show.
00:57:59
Speaker
Um,
00:58:01
Speaker
I liked it better than the second one.
00:58:03
Speaker
I may have liked it better than the first one.
00:58:06
Speaker
Yeah, it's pretty good.
00:58:08
Speaker
They get some big names in those.
00:58:10
Speaker
So that one was there.
00:58:12
Speaker
And then Christmas Eve, we were trying to figure out what to watch.
'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation' Reflections
00:58:15
Speaker
The kids were debating.
00:58:17
Speaker
And we settled on National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
00:58:20
Speaker
So we watched that on Christmas Eve.
00:58:22
Speaker
It had been a long time since I'd seen that.
00:58:25
Speaker
What I will say is we watched this, and at the end of it, Lisa's like...
00:58:30
Speaker
I kind of feel bad for Clark.
00:58:32
Speaker
I don't know that this is a comedy.
00:58:34
Speaker
You just feel bad.
00:58:36
Speaker
I
00:58:42
Speaker
Although I will say this, this might be, I was thinking of it as a slapstick comedy and there's a few things in there.
00:58:47
Speaker
On the other hand, I think this might be a closer to true life Christmas movie about a real family than almost any other Christmas movie because it's, there are parts that are just like, Oh, that's hitting a little too close to home.
00:59:02
Speaker
Right?
00:59:03
Speaker
Yeah.
00:59:03
Speaker
Fix the new post.
00:59:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:59:08
Speaker
If I woke up, my head stapled to the carpet.
00:59:11
Speaker
I wouldn't be more surprised than I am right now.
00:59:15
Speaker
So anyway, yeah, look at that.
00:59:16
Speaker
Four movies in like a week and a half.
00:59:18
Speaker
So I think we might be done for 2026.
00:59:19
Speaker
The thing that I learned this week.
00:59:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:59:28
Speaker
I don't know that.
00:59:30
Speaker
Did we talk about this?
00:59:31
Speaker
We get a new washer and dryer this year because our old one, the...
00:59:38
Speaker
Washer came from the old house, so it was at least 15 years old.
00:59:44
Speaker
Yes.
00:59:45
Speaker
And the dryer was new to this house, but was not working.
00:59:54
Speaker
We got, so we got at some point during the year, middle of the year, maybe, I don't know, June, July, a new washer and dryer.
01:00:04
Speaker
And we were fixing to go out for New Year's Eve with Jake and Nicole, Dr. Matt Damon.
01:00:11
Speaker
And the white shirt that I was going to put on was really wrinkly because it had just been sitting in the basket.
01:00:16
Speaker
I didn't hang it up.
01:00:17
Speaker
And I'm like, hey, you know, there's a steam function on my dryer.
01:00:24
Speaker
And Amy used it a month ago, I suppose, and came back.
01:00:28
Speaker
She's like, did you know that this steam function thing really, you know, just quick steam, take wrinkles out function on the dryer works really well?
01:00:36
Speaker
I'm like, I don't know.
01:00:37
Speaker
I've never used it.
01:00:38
Speaker
New Year's Eve, I threw my shirt in to the dryer.
01:00:43
Speaker
If you have a steam function on your dryer, oh, my God, this is life changing.
01:00:49
Speaker
Where's the water come from?
01:00:50
Speaker
Well, I know I hooked it up so that the water comes right off of the washing machine.
01:00:55
Speaker
It's got a Y tap so that it's all set up to the... I don't know how it works.
01:00:59
Speaker
I don't know why it works.
01:01:01
Speaker
I just know that it works.
01:01:02
Speaker
And oh my God, life-changing.
01:01:06
Speaker
Anyway, how about you?
01:01:08
Speaker
What did you learn this week?
Frustrating New Year's Eve Broadcast
01:01:11
Speaker
Yeah, my story involves New Year's Eve, but it's not as positive.
01:01:14
Speaker
So we were in the undisclosed location for New Year's Eve, turn on Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve with Ryan Seacrest, apparently.
01:01:23
Speaker
I don't know, whatever.
01:01:26
Speaker
And we tuned in with about like at 11.30.
01:01:30
Speaker
And this is on a tape delay of a tape delay so that they, you know, the local affiliate plays it on a tape delay.
01:01:39
Speaker
so that it hits at the right time here.
01:01:43
Speaker
Yeah.
01:01:43
Speaker
And they announce, well, I flipped to it and they're like coming up a legend.
01:01:51
Speaker
And then they play at some point, you know, you don't really pay attention to commercials because I don't watch a lot of stuff with commercials, right?
01:01:58
Speaker
You just kind of zone them out.
01:01:59
Speaker
But at one point I'm like,
01:02:02
Speaker
this has got to be commercial 13 or 14 in a row.
01:02:06
Speaker
And they were playing like 15 second ones.
01:02:09
Speaker
And some of them, they were clipping off.
01:02:11
Speaker
Like they were trying to like get and seeing the same commercial over.
01:02:14
Speaker
Yeah.
01:02:15
Speaker
Yeah.
01:02:16
Speaker
Like the same commercial over and over and over again.
01:02:19
Speaker
And so it's sort of like somewhere we started watching like at 1130 and like at 1133 or 34, it goes to commercial.
01:02:25
Speaker
Yeah.
01:02:30
Speaker
somewhere around there comes back at 11 40 and i'm thinking maybe they had to get all the commercials in right because now it's going to be commercial free you know for the next midnight yeah perfect okay exactly yeah i'm tracking great yeah and then they and then ryan announces diana ross is coming out singing the hits
01:02:53
Speaker
There's this.
01:02:54
Speaker
How old is she?
01:02:55
Speaker
I don't know.
01:02:55
Speaker
She's got to look this up.
01:02:57
Speaker
Do you think she's singing?
01:02:57
Speaker
No, it's got to be lip sync.
01:02:58
Speaker
I don't know.
01:02:59
Speaker
Maybe.
01:02:59
Speaker
Well, but that part.
01:03:01
Speaker
Anyway, in the middle of her set.
01:03:04
Speaker
So she comes on at 1140, give or take, because now I'm like, things are looking a little weird here.
01:03:10
Speaker
1140.
01:03:10
Speaker
OK, we'll get 20 minutes.
01:03:13
Speaker
1143.
01:03:13
Speaker
The local station dumps the feed and goes to commercials.
01:03:19
Speaker
Jesus Christ.
01:03:22
Speaker
The local station comes back at 1150.
01:03:26
Speaker
Another seven minutes of commercials.
01:03:29
Speaker
This is what we get.
01:03:32
Speaker
That was amazing from Diana Ross.
01:03:35
Speaker
That was amazing.
01:03:36
Speaker
She played all of the hits.
01:03:37
Speaker
It was so great.
01:03:38
Speaker
Coming back, we're going to have the ball drop.
01:03:43
Speaker
1152 goes to commercial.
01:03:46
Speaker
No.
01:03:50
Speaker
Dwayne.
01:03:52
Speaker
Do you want to guess the time when it came back from commercial going to commercial 1152?
01:03:58
Speaker
1203?
01:03:58
Speaker
Nope.
01:04:02
Speaker
Nope.
01:04:03
Speaker
They did get the ball drop.
01:04:04
Speaker
Oh, did they?
01:04:06
Speaker
Yeah.
01:04:07
Speaker
58?
01:04:08
Speaker
And how many seconds?
01:04:10
Speaker
Oh, no.
01:04:13
Speaker
In 45 seconds?
01:04:16
Speaker
11.58.45.
01:04:16
Speaker
They went to commercial at 11.52 and came back at 11.58.45.
01:04:24
Speaker
Enough time for Ryan to say, this is amazing here.
01:04:27
Speaker
It's just so amazing.
01:04:29
Speaker
And now let's start with the ball drop.
01:04:32
Speaker
You know, if I'm not mistaken, I would say that your local affiliate also dropped the ball.
01:04:40
Speaker
I'd be annoyed if that wasn't so good.
01:04:43
Speaker
Thank you.
01:04:45
Speaker
It was also still better than watching the two drunk guys on CNN.
01:05:01
Speaker
The music is Happy Boy by Heaven McLeod.

Todd.
01:05:48
Speaker
I think I understand why they wouldn't necessarily want to designate a Waymo, official Waymo door closer for a specific area, because you said you could get there on your electric bike.
01:05:59
Speaker
Or, hear me out, you get a text saying that Waymo needs its door closed.
01:06:03
Speaker
You summon a Waymo.
01:06:04
Speaker
You get in it.
01:06:06
Speaker
You take it there.
01:06:08
Speaker
You get out of that Waymo.
01:06:09
Speaker
You leave the door open.
01:06:12
Speaker
Then go get to the Waymo, hop in it and close the door.
01:06:16
Speaker
Collect the $22 to $24.
01:06:18
Speaker
Have it drop you off like four blocks away.
01:06:21
Speaker
Bing.
01:06:22
Speaker
Hey, another Waymo needs its door closed.
01:06:26
Speaker
I'm not saying that a perpetual motion machine exists, but you could probably get some revenue for a while doing that.
01:06:32
Speaker
The ride cost me six bucks and I made 24.
01:06:35
Speaker
Yep, I can do that math.
01:06:37
Speaker
Yep, sign me up for that.
01:06:38
Speaker
I am in.
01:06:39
Speaker
This new economy is great.
01:06:43
Speaker
Oh, I'm sure we'll have more to clean up next week.
01:06:47
Speaker
Oh, next week's a hiatus episode.
01:06:50
Speaker
Of some kind.
01:06:51
Speaker
Of some kind.
01:06:52
Speaker
We don't know what.
01:06:53
Speaker
Next week is going to be an episode at a time.
01:06:56
Speaker
And we'll figure that out.
01:06:57
Speaker
But we'll be back.
01:06:58
Speaker
