NFNP 2x37 | NVIDIA Meltdown, AI Workers & GTA VI

Bright: All right, duds. It's our second in person episode. We did have some issues last week audio wise. Yeah, yeah. When we did the test, everything sounded good. And then my mic was just up way too loud or something. And we're not using headphones, which of course you don't have to do when you're in person. Right. But when I went back to listen to the whole episode, it was it was a little rough and and we had an echo.

Duds Audio: Alright, duds, it's our second in-person episode. We did have some issues last week, audio-wise. Yeah, a little technical difficulties. Yeah, yeah. When we did the test, everything sounded good. And then my mic was just up way too loud or something. And we're not using headphones, which of course you don't have to do when you're in person. Right. But when I went back to listen to the whole episode, it was it was a little rough. And we had an echo. Yeah.

Bright: Yeah, yeah. So I used

Duds Audio: Yeah yeah. So I used AI to patch the audio together because we you had joined as a virtual guest was the whole thing, so that we could have your camera feed, but we were using our in-person audio, so we ended up with just like this millisecond or so of an echo. And that changes everything. Changes everything. So I couldn't post any of our

Bright: AI to patch the audio together because we you had joined as a virtual guest was the whole thing so that we could have your camera feed, but we were using our in-person audio, so we ended up with just like this millisecond or so of an echo. so it changes everything. It changes everything. So I couldn't post any of our like shorts or any of our clips for TikTok or X.

Duds Audio: like shorts or any of our clips for TikTok or X. I was like God the the audio is just not good enough to post that stuff. But AI definitely improved on the audio because you heard it before you left. yeah. It's not good. Not good. And then you listen to the episode, it's much better. You could listen to it. It's okay. It's not great. So hopefully this one is better. I'm gonna try not to be tweak it fine tune it a little bit. Fine tune it a little bit. I'm

Bright: I was like, the the audio is just not good enough to post that stuff. But AI definitely improved on the audio because you heard it before you left. not good. And then you listened to the episode. It's much better. I could listen to it. Yeah, yeah. It's not great. So hopefully this one is better. I'm gonna try not to be so fine tune it a little bit. I'm not gonna be as close to the mic. we made some adjustments, some adjustments to our setup.

Duds Audio: be as close to the mic. we made some adjustments. stop yelling to our setup. We still each have our own camera and we've got a third camera hanging out over here. we'll see how that works in in the editing. But if you're if you're actually watching us, we'll we'll see how it turns out. Watch out. but we are we're starting late because we had to go through some of this tech stuff and I've got a lot on the plate today. Well that's good. Why is that good?

Bright: We still each have our own camera and we've got a third camera hanging out over here. we'll see how that works in in the editing. But if you're if you're actually watching us, we'll we'll see how it turns out. but we are we're starting late because we had to go through some of this tech stuff, and I've got a lot on the plate today. Well, that's good. Why

Duds Audio: I don't know. Just want to talk about some stuff, I guess. Okay. Well, right off the bat, and I did not have this planned,

Bright: is that good? I don't know. I just want to talk about that. You want to talk about stuff? Okay. Well, right off the bat, and I did not have this planned.

Duds Audio: but it became such a big story and it affected my entire afternoon. yes. The Microsoft. Yeah, Microsoft, like down. What are you doing, Bill? Come on. I think it's still down. As far as I know. I mean if it would be down tomorrow, that would be great. I mean It's Friday. Come on. Exactly.

Bright: But it became such a big story and it affected my entire afternoon. yeah. The outlook. Yeah. Microsoft, down. And I think Bill. Come on. I think it's still down. As far as I know. if it would be down tomorrow, that would be great. Friday, come on. Exactly. There

Duds Audio: Come on, Microsoft, push it through the weekend.

Bright: was not much that I could do work wise without Outlook. No.

Duds Audio: You're kinda down completely, huh? Yeah, pretty much everything that I do runs through Microsoft, whether it's Teams, Outlook. I use the three sixty five suite for PowerPoint Excel and stuff. No. all that stuff's down too. I mean if you have it hardwired on

Bright: Yeah, pretty much everything that I do runs through Microsoft, whether it's Teams, Outlook. I use the three sixty five suite for PowerPoint and Excel and and all that stuff. No. all that stuff down. I mean if you have it hardwired on your computer, if you have the software, I think that was okay. I think. Yeah, we work a server, it works. Right. I think all that stuff was working. yeah.

Duds Audio: computer, if you have the software, I think that was okay. I think. Yeah, we work on a server at work, so I think all that stuff was working fine, we could still do a lot of our work. Just couldn't communicate with customers, vendors. I was trying to send

Bright: What?

Duds Audio: an email out and it was just pending. So that's like ten AM the thing is like not everybody uses Outlook, right? So I certainly have clients out there that have their own email

Bright: And so that's the that's the other thing is like not everybody uses Outlook, right? So I certainly have clients out there that have their own email servers or whatever. They're using a a different party. So their emails are coming to me. Right. Gmail or well, no. I mean I'm not getting them, but they're sending them. So they're just going unanswered, right? I'm assuming they know

Duds Audio: servers or whatever, they're using a a different party. Right. So they're coming to me. Right. they're coming through? Well no. I mean I'm not getting Okay. But they're sending So they're just going unanswered. Right. I'm assuming they know

Bright: Yeah, they would have to. Yeah. They would have to. Yeah.

Duds Audio: Yeah, they would have to. Thank you. They would have to by now. Yeah. I thought it was just our company's like server that was down, Yeah. I I came back from lunch. Well I was on a meeting with a coworker and she was trying to send me something for a presentation I'm doing and it wasn't working and I was like, don't worry about it. Like I'm gonna go grab lunch. Like you figure it out, send it to me and and I'll work on it after lunch.

Bright: No. Well that's what I thought too. Yeah. I I came back from lunch. Well, I was on a meeting with a coworker and she was trying to send me something for a presentation I'm doing and it wasn't working. And I was like, don't worry about it. Like I'm gonna go grab lunch. Like you figure it out, send it to me and and I'll work on it after lunch.

Duds Audio: And I come back down after lunch and nothing's working. I'm like, What the heck? My team's what's Yeah, she hasn't done anything. I know, right? I so I messaged everybody, I like, Is Outlook down for anybody? And they were like, Yeah, like

Bright: And I come back down after lunch and nothing's working. I'm like, what the heck? My team's was still working. I know, right? so I messaged everybody. I was like, is Outlook down for anybody? And they were like, Yeah, like

Duds Audio: globally and I'm like, What? Globally? Yeah.

Bright: Globally and I'm like, What? Globally? Yeah. That's some major issues. I'm surprised the stock market didn't take a hit because of that. I mean, that's a lot of business that can't operate. Yeah, they're too, you know, much concerned with old Jensen Wang over there in his affair. So And we will get to that. That is my that is more or less my primary topic. So I don't know. Do you have anything else to have with this Outlook thing? I mean if it's down tomorrow

Duds Audio: That could cause some major issues for I'm surprised the stock market didn't take a hit because of that. that's a lot of business that can't operate. Yeah, they're too, much concerned with old Jensen Wang over there and his affair. So we will get to that. That is my that is more or less my primary topic. So I don't know. Do you have anything else to add with this Outlook thing? I mean, if it's down tomorrow

Bright: Yeah

Duds Audio: Yeah, I think you just ride it through the weekend, Yeah. Yeah. Closest the US has ever come to a four day work week. I guess my whole question is, what's going

Bright: Yeah. Yeah. Closest the US has ever come to a four day work week. I guess my whole question is like what's going on?

Duds Audio: on? Is it hackers? Is it just hardware? What's going on? I think people are speculating that it's hackers, but according to Microsoft it's not. They're probably not gonna come out and say that. Yeah. They said that

Bright: Well what's going on. I think people are speculating that it's hackers, but according to Microsoft it's not. about to say that. Yeah. They said that it was due to unavailable servers, and because those servers were unavailable, it shifted the load onto the remaining infrastructure and overloaded the remaining infrastructure. So they're basically their backup servers couldn't handle all of the stuff. What servers they use?

Duds Audio: It was due to unavailable servers, and because those servers were unavailable, it shifted the load onto the remaining infrastructure and overloaded the remaining infrastructure. So they're basically their backup servers couldn't handle stuff what servers they use. Do they have their own? Or are they on like AWS? like I don't think they're on AWS. I'm assuming they have their own, but I'm not

Bright: AWS I don't think they're on AWS. I'm assuming they have their own, but I'm not positive. Well, because AWS has been down before, right? kind of regional servers that have yeah. So I remember that happening. I don't remember if

Duds Audio: Well, because AWS has been down before. Right. Right? yeah, kind of regional servers that they have. Yeah. So I remember that happening. I don't remember if out.

Bright: Outlook went down with that. Certainly there's been like AT and T outages, airlines, their software has has had major out any time this happens, like it

Duds Audio: Went down with that. Certainly there's been ATT outages, airlines, their software has had major out anytime this happens, like it big deal. It screws things up. But like not being able to answer emails for half of a day, not that big of a deal. Missing two days worth of flights because American Airlines or whatever it is, like has software issues. That I mean that screws up a lot of people's lives. Looks like they deploy their own servers. Yeah, that's what I think.

Bright: It screws things up. not being able to answer emails for half of a day, not that big of a deal. Missing two days worth of flights because American Airlines or whatever it is, like has software issues, that I mean that screws up a lot of people's lives, right? Yeah, that's what I thought. I mean it's Microsoft they you would think, right? Yeah, yeah. But I mean Microsoft, you know, is a really a software company, so I could see them not being so much

Duds Audio: I it's Microsoft. You would think you would think, right? Yeah, yeah. But Microsoft, is a really a software company. So I could see them not being so much I guess maybe they're big into hardware too now, and servers, databases, all that's a quantum computer. A quantum of the well, there's not too many of them out there. I think just a couple of the the big companies. So Microsoft's got one. Heavy use of high end NVIDIA systems.

Bright: I guess maybe they're big into hardware too now. I think they have a quantum computer. They're one of the well, there's not too many of them out there. I think just a couple of the the big companies. So Microsoft's got one. Heavy use of high-end NVIDIA systems. Yeah. So what do we think about that? I mean that's that's really my main story. I mean, this NVIDIA stuff is is getting crazier by the day. I've been saying it's the most expensive affair in history.

Duds Audio: Yeah. So what do we think about that? that's that's really my main story. this NVIDIA stuff is is getting crazier by the day. I've been saying it's the most expensive affair in history. One and a half trillion dollars. That's how much it's dropped since I think October twenty ninth is when it's it broke. Insane. Yeah. And like it's one and a half trillion. Is he liable for that at all?

Bright: Is that what it was? Like how much has dropped since I think October 29th. That that's insane. Yeah. And like, is he a half trillion? Is he liable for that at all? No. Wouldn't think so. I wouldn't think so either. You know who the Democrats are trying to go after for all of this? Is it Trump's fault? President Trump. I'm like, how is it his fault that somebody's sleeping with somebody other than his wife? Right? Like, that's not Trump has no control over that.

Duds Audio: Wouldn't think so. I wouldn't think so either. You know who the Democrats are trying to go after for all of this? Is it Trump's fault? President Trump I'm like how is it his fault? How would I not know? That somebody's sleeping with somebody other than his wife, right? that's not Trump has no control over that. I did hear, I don't know if you heard this, that when Trump was over in China and I don't know where this story came from or who said this, but

Bright: that when Trump was over in China and I don't know where this story came from or who said this, but

Duds Audio: I had heard through the grapevine that when he was over in China he got wind of this affair and that Jensen was

Bright: Was

Duds Audio: sleeping with a a spy, a Chinese spy. So he knew about it and didn't really say anything about it 'cause he didn't want to obviously tank the

Bright: sleeping with a spy. Yeah. Yeah. He knew about it and didn't really say anything about it 'cause he didn't want to obviously tank the

Duds Audio: market. In his press conference the other day Allegedly. He allegedly he got asked about it and they said, you know, was he briefed by the intelligence community, the CIA or FBI or NSA, whatever it was. And he said yes, that he had been, but that it clearly didn't make much of an impact on him.

Bright: In his press conference the other day, he he allegedly he got asked about it and they said you know, was he briefed by the intelligence community, the CIA or FBI or NSA, whatever it was. And he said yes, that he had been, but that it clearly didn't make much of an impact on him because

Duds Audio: He didn't think it was a big deal. Right. Which is interesting. Well, and honestly,

Bright: he didn't think it was a big deal. Right. Which is interesting. Honestly like

Duds Audio: it's a big deal, but should it tank their stock

Bright: deal, but should it tank their stock?

Duds Audio: by so much? I is it opening up to lawsuits and stuff? Is that why I think there's a couple of things and we'll get into that, right? the initial affair

Bright: By so much? I I is it opening up the lawsuits and stuff? Is that why? Well, I think there's a couple of things and we'll get into that, right? the initial affair that broke with this Chinese spy, alleged Chinese spy. I don't know if it's a hundred percent confirmed yet, but right. Like what what secrets did he spill? Like, I mean, and yes, the other thing, like, come on. Hopefully he's not talking business. And NVIDIA came out and said, Don't worry

Duds Audio: That broke with this Chinese spy, alleged Honey Pot spy. I don't know if it's a hundred percent confirmed yet, but right, what what secrets did he spill? and guess the other thing, come on. Hopefully he's not talking business. Right. And NVIDIA came out and said, Don't worry,

Bright: we didn't we didn't give up the the treasure, right? I don't know. AI stuff, compute I don't know.

Duds Audio: we didn't we didn't give up the the what secrets do they have to give up? I don't know. AI stuff, compute I don't know.

Bright: It's it's yes, but they make the best AI chips supposedly in the world. Yeah, and how they are able to handle processing overloads from AI requests, whatever. I don't know. I'm talking out of my butt

Duds Audio: Yes, but they make the best AI chips, supposedly. So the secrets and how they make Yeah, and how they are able to handle processing overloads from AI requests, whatever. I don't know. I'm talking out of my butt.

Bright: right now. I don't know what I'm talking about. But something computer clearly they wanted something from this guy, right? so what information she got, I don't know. And I didn't look up I do have her name and everything here. her name is Alice Yang Young. How do you pronounce it? Wang? Yeah.

Duds Audio: But something computer. Clearly, they wanted something from this guy, right? so what information she got, I don't know. And I didn't look up I do have her name and everything here. her name is Alice Yang Young. How do you pronounce how do you spell that?

Bright: H U A N G, which I think is Yeah, it's the s is that his last name? It's they have the same last name. Yeah. But and I saw it on the news that it's like it's like Smith, right? Like it's such a common name. but yeah, still a little bit. yeah, I think of like Taylor Lautner,

Duds Audio: H U A N G, which I think is Is that yeah. Isn't that his last name? But and I saw it on the news that it's like it's like Smith, right? Like it's such a common name. but still weird, right? Yeah, still a little bit. yeah, I think of like Taylor Lautner.

Bright: right? he married Taylor and her name became Lautner, so now they're both Taylor Lautner. Like it's a little strange to have this yeah, a hundred percent.

Duds Audio: Right? he married Taylor and her name became Lautner, so now they're both Taylor Lautner. Like it's a little strange. They spell it the same too? yeah, a hundred percent. That is weird. Yeah, yeah, a little weird. So Mr. and Mrs. Yankee is always the case, but I don't know.

Bright: Yeah, yeah, a little weird. So Mr. and Mrs. Yang, I guess that's always the case, but I don't know. And it's not like he's marrying this chick, right? that's true, right? Definitely the side piece though, and wait a second affair broke? Yes. Yes. A direct report. Probably worse than the shothand. And then now a third affair. yeah. Yeah. And he's getting around. I know. Well, I mean

Duds Audio: And it's not like he's marrying this chick. She don't have to change her last name, at least. that's true, right? Definitely the side piece though, and And then I think a second affair broke. Yes. With an exec from NVIDIA. Yes. A direct report. Probably worse than the honeypot, maybe. And then now a third affair. yeah. Yeah. And he's getting around. I know. Well It's like Tiger Woods.

Bright: It's funny. Have you ever seen that South Park episode? It is one of the best. And it's after the Tiger Woods thing broke. And it's all of these men that have to go to what do they call it? rehabilitation or whatever it is because of their sex addiction. Because they all come out and say that they have sex addiction. David Duchovny, Tiger Woods, Bill Clinton, whatever.

Duds Audio: It's funny, have you ever seen that South Park episode? It is one of the best. And it's after the Tiger Woods thing broke. And it's all of these men that have to go to what do they call it? rehabilitation or whatever it is because of their sex addiction. Okay. Because they all come out and say that they have sex addiction. David DuCovney, Tiger Woods, Bill Clinton, whatever.

Bright: And album of the

Duds Audio: And Does like absolve them of it or something? Basically, it's like it's like how they they make

Bright: Basically, it's like it's like how they they make reparations with the community like sorry for doing this I'll go to my sex addiction addiction classes and yeah yeah all will be good but they're trying to diagnose the issue these South Park doctors because it's it's epidemic and they realize that the men that are most at risk of having sex addiction are rich, powerful men.

Duds Audio: reparations with the community. Okay. Sorry for doing this. I'll go to my sex addiction addiction classes. And you can forgive me. And yeah, yeah, yeah. All will be good. But they're trying to diagnose the issue, these South Park doctors, because it's it's academic. Right. They realize that the men that are most at risk of having sex addiction are rich, powerful men. That's what they found out, huh? It is so funny. I highly recommend you go check out that

Bright: It is so funny. I highly recommend you go check out that

Duds Audio: episode and Cartman is trying to play the new PGA game on like Xbox or whatever, but instead of playing golf you're beating women with clubs. Like, it is it is good stuff. I don't know where to come up with that stuff.

Bright: episode. And Cartman is trying to play the new PGA game on like Xbox or whatever, but instead of playing golf, you're beating women with clubs. Like, it is it is good stuff, right?

Duds Audio: Tiger Woods is real life, man.

Bright: Tiger Woods is real life, man. so yeah, it's all these rich, powerful men. They think they can get away with it. And I guess of course they have more opportunities. Right? More than the average man. you can spend money on fancy dates and get their own apartments and buy their own car and they just do it because one the

Duds Audio: So yeah, it's all these rich, powerful men, they think they can get away with it. And I guess of course they have more opportunities. Well, sure. Right? More than the average man. you can spend money on fancy dates and get their own apartments and buy their own car and they just do it. Can afford the mistress. Sure. Yeah, yeah. Now this one, the

Bright: Chinese one, she definitely had an ulterior motive. But she was a right. She yes, that's the whole thing. So she supposedly, from the limited research that I did, she also had like an AI chip company in Taiwan, which is interesting. And I guess it was like a a nothing business, right? Probably a fake business that the Chinese set up for her to be a spy, right? And she got sat next to him at some kind of conference. Like, and how does that happen?

Duds Audio: Chinese one, she definitely had an ulterior motive. And she was in tech too, right? Yes, that's the whole thing. So she supposedly, from the limited research that I did, she also had like an AI chip company in Taiwan, which is interesting. And I guess it was like a a nothing business, right? Probably a fake business that the Chinese set up for her to be a spy, right? And she got sat next to him at some kind of conference. Like, and how does that happen?

Bright: Happen, right? How convenient. And they struck up a conversation. Next thing Nvidia is investing in her chip company. And then that one thing leads to another, leads to the affair.

Duds Audio: Convenient. Right? How convenient. And they struck up a conversation. Next thing NVIDIA is investing in her chip company. And then that one thing leads to another, leads to the affair.

Bright: All of a sudden she's getting all the NVIDIA secrets, right? And I don't know, we'll have to figure out like the order of these affairs, right? So was this the first one and then he had others, or did

Duds Audio: All of a sudden she's getting all the NVIDIA secrets, right? And I don't know. We'll have to figure out like the order of these affairs, right? So was this the first one? And then he had others, or did

Bright: he have others and then this was the last one? Well, and who knows how many over the course of his marriage. He's been married since I think you said the eighties. Yeah, eighty-five. his wife w I think they went to college together. That's what I remember at when they were like 19 and 20. I think she's a couple years older than.

Duds Audio: Probably not the first. Well, and who knows how many over the course of his marriage. He's been married since I think he said the eighty. Eighty five, yeah, I looked that up. Eighty five. his wife w I think they went to college together. Yep, I that's what I read. They met when they were like nineteen and tw I think she's a couple years older than him, nineteen and twenty one or

Bright: and twenty one.

Duds Audio: something like that. Been married for forty one years. Who knows, you know?

Bright: Yeah, know.

Duds Audio: Just weird. Yeah. I it's crazy to me. I I don't always get it. I guess again, they're in a different situation. But then then you say, right, there's more than this one. So the New York Times reported this second affair with healthcare VP Kimberly Powell.

Bright: I mean Yeah. I mean I it's crazy to me. I I don't always get it. I guess again, they're in a different situation. But then then you say, right, there's more than this one. So the New York Times reported the second affair with healthcare VP Kimberly Powell. And I don't know if she's the one, I'm assuming she's the one that reports directly into him. And then there was a third one that was also an employee, which is why he had to step down. Because originally NVIDIA was like, it's just an affair with this lady. Yes, she's a Chinese spy, but he didn't know that. Like, it's all right. He we have full trust in him. He's gonna continue to be the NVIDIA CEO. No secrets are spilled. All good. Status quo. be banging all.

Duds Audio: And I don't know if she's the one I'm assuming she's the one that reports directly into him. And then there was a third one that was also an employee. Which is why he had to step down. Sure. Because originally NVIDIA was like, it's just an affair with this lady. Yes, she's a Chinese spy, but he didn't know that. Like, it's all right. He we have full trust in him. He's gonna continue to be the NVIDIA CEO. No secrets were spilled. All good. yeah. But he might be banging all the other employees too. Right.

Bright: Well, yeah, how long did that last, right? clearly

Duds Audio: About a week. Yeah, about a week, which is crazy. they probably should have just cut ties right off the bat. He steps down today, the stock price takes a major hit. I checked it out because I bought early January twenty twenty five. Okay. And I'm still up thirty percent even after this. Even after this. Yeah. And it's gone down

Bright: I think about a week. Yeah, about a week, which is crazy. they probably should have just cut ties right off the bat. He steps down today. The stock price takes a major hit. I checked it out because I bought early January twenty twenty five. Okay. And I'm still up thirty percent even after the drops. Yeah. And it's gone down.

Duds Audio: quite a bit. Gone down quite a bit. So I was up thirty percent today. So I don't know. Better sell and get out of there. Well I don't have enough

Bright: Gone down quite a bit. So I was up thirty percent today. So I don't know. Sell and get out of there. Well I don't have enough stock that I'm worried about selling, right? Like company's define. Well, and that's what I'm thinking. I like it will recover eventually. How much more can it drop? Maybe this is what it was gonna take to really like pop that.

Duds Audio: stock that I'm worried about selling. yeah, I'm sure the company's gonna be fine. Well that's it'll recover eventually. it will recover eventually. How much more can it drop? Maybe this was what it was going to take to really pop that AI bubble though. Well that's what that's what a lot of people that's what the conspiracy theorists are out there saying now. yeah. This is this is the end. The AI bubble is gonna pop because what they say is all of the different AI companies are just paying each other. sure. Yeah. That open AI is paying

Bright: Well that's what that's what a lot of people that's what the conspiracy theorists are out there saying now, that this is this is the end. The AI bubble is gonna pop because what they say is all of the different AI companies are just paying each other. sure. Yeah, that open AI is paying Elon Musk or X and X is paying

Duds Audio: Elon Musk or X and X is paying Tesla. They're all buying NVIDIA chips. Yeah. Then they're buying NVIDIA chips and then NVIDIA's investing in Claude, Anthropic, and that's just all whole. Okay, just moving money from one pocket to the other. Yes. Yep. But nothing's actually being built.

Bright: Tesla, right, and then yeah, then they're buying NVIDIA chips and then NVIDIA's investing in Claude, Anthropic, and that's just a whole big money from one pocket to the other. Yes.

Duds Audio: Right, right. Well data centers.

Bright: Right, right. Well data centers. Or they're not being built actually. Right. I d I don't know. So I don't know. This might be a time to invest in NVIDIA though. So like I even when I invested in January twenty twenty five, I kinda thought like I've probably missed the the

Duds Audio: Or they're not being built actually. Right. Are they? Right. I d I don't know. So I don't know. This might be a time to invest in NVIDIA though. So I even when I invested in January 2025, I thought I've probably missed the the big up

Bright: Yeah, of course, right? And you always do as a as a Joe Schmo. It's so hard to get in on the ground floor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I d I bought on the way up, you know, a lot

Duds Audio: swing. Of course, right? You always do as a as a Joe Schmo. It's so hard to get in. Sure, you're always buying at the top right before it crashes, right? And I d I bought on the way up. You know, a lot.

Bright: of people were saying like how much further can it go? And I'm like, this AI thing's just getting started. And right. So I mean, we I I don't know if how much how much did it drop, did we say? I think it's dropped since like I mean, I think it went up to like two

Duds Audio: saying how much further can it go? And I'm like, this AI thing's just getting started. It's gonna go forever. And right. So we I I don't know if how much how much did it drop, did we say? I think it's dropped since like I mean I think it went up to like two fifty almost I do have it here. It was down

Bright: fifty I do have it here. It was down but from when that it was down nine dollars this morning, selling at one sixty four when I did my research. Five percent down from yesterday. Right. So they've gone from two fifteen to one sixty four and probably even a little bit lower because this was this morning when I did my when AI

Duds Audio: But from when that story broke nine dollars this morning selling at one sixty four when I did my research, five percent down. I think when the story broke it was like at two fifteen. Right. So they've gone from two fifteen to one sixty four and probably even a little bit lower, 'cause this was this morning when I did my when AI

Bright: did my research.

Duds Audio: Yeah, when I did the math it was one and a half trillion dollars that had wiped out. What just wiped out? Can you can you imagine? It's a lot of money. It's a lot of money. And that wasn't even at the peak. it I think it would up to two hundred and fifty before that. So I don't own any NVIDIA, you know, directly, just probably through mutual funds or whatever. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Bright: Just wiped out. Can you could you imagine? It's a lot of money. It's a lot of money. And that wasn't even at the peak. Yeah. I think it would up to two hundred and fifty before that. So Yeah. I don't own any NVIDIA, directly. Yeah. Mutual funds or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Duds Audio: The NVIDIA though is like a big portion of the Nasdaq, so when it drops though, it tanks the entire index. Tesla and SpaceX were up today. I feel like the market it's gonna it's gonna take a little bit to stabilize here. We've got a change of power in the House and the Senate. we still have this Iran thing going on. Now you have NVIDIA and AI. Bitcoin is on the way down.

Bright: Nvidia though is like a big portion of the NASDAQ, so when it's the entire I was surprised Tesla and SpaceX were up today. I feel like the market it's gonna it's gonna take a little bit to stabilize here. We've got a change of power in the House and the Senate. we still have this Iran thing going on. Now you have NVIDIA and AI, Bitcoin is on the way down. Which is which is I don't know if that affects the economy or the stock market. Is there any is there any correlation there? It's taken a step back. Yeah. But it it bottomed out in the upper fifties a couple of months ago. Right.

Duds Audio: Which is which is I don't know if that affects the economy or the stock market. is it on the way down? It was. It's it's taken a step back. Yeah. But it it bottomed out in the f upper fifties, what a couple of months ago, right?

Bright: So it will go down and drop below that.

Duds Audio: So will it go down and drop below that? I don't know. Hopefully. It might just be kinda pulling back a little bit. I was almost back up to a breakeven point. I was. I was right at break even. It seems like that's always what happens. it'll get you there, get you excited, and then it'll go back there. That's how all anytime I buy any like stock

Bright: Hopefully not. I was almost back up to a break even point. I was. Yeah, never quite get over the hump, right? That's how old like any time I buy any like stock

Duds Audio: or anything by itself.

Bright: itself. Seems like it'll always go down and then it'll get you excited. It'll come back up right to where you, you know, break even and then it'll it's like that that gif with the Simpsons roller coaster. Yeah. You know, it goes up, we broke even and then it tanks even more. Yep. Never fails. Yeah it's trading at this was as of this morning, seventy three thousand so down one point six percent. It's near a three month low

Duds Audio: Seems like it'll always go down and then it'll get you excited. It'll come back up right to where you, you know, break even and then it'll it's like that that gif with the Simpsons roller coaster. Yeah. You know, it goes up, we broke even and then it tanks even more. Yeah. Never fails. Yeah, it's trading at this was as of this morning, seventy three thousand. So down one point six percent. It's near a three month low. Time to buy some more. Well, and that's the thing, and I buy every week, you buy every day. Every day. And so that was what I was noticing is my average cost has kept going down. Yeah, so I mean I'm not really too concerned with it because when you're buying in, you know, to something and any kind of investment, it's like, hey, if it goes down, I'm just buying more for cheaper.

Bright: Well, and that's the thing, and I buy every week, you buy every day. And so that was what I was noticing is my average cost has kept going down. Obviously.

Duds Audio: So So here's a question I got from a viewer.

Bright: So So here's a question I got from a viewer. If Bitcoin is independent of the stock market, why do they tend to sell off together?

Duds Audio: If Bitcoin is independent of the stock market, why do they tend to sell off together? Hmm. It's interesting. Is it independent of the stock market? it's still bought and sold by investors. I think that's a good point. It's not necessarily it's not part of an index or anything, but it's still traded. So it's still investors and banks and people buying and selling. So if there's less money. I think when people get scared, you know, panic sets in, people sell. Right. And they

Bright: It's still bought and sold by investors. I think that's a good point. It's not necessarily an index or anything, but it's still traded. So it's still investors and banks and people buying. So if there's less money. I think when people get scared, panic sets in, people sell. Right. And they default to cash. Sure. So right. So that's the thing, I think.

Duds Audio: default to cash, So I think that's kinda why it it would move in that way. If people have less money to invest or they get scared to your point, so I guess if the economy's bad, I have less money to invest. I'm not gonna invest in Bitcoin. Right. So that might level it off or drop it down. And if the stock market starts going down and somebody panics, I sell all my money and my stocks and my Bitcoin and

Bright: If people have less money to invest or they get scared to your point, so I guess if the economy's bad, I have less money to invest, I'm not gonna invest in Bitcoin. So that might level it off or drop it down. And if the stock market starts going down and somebody panics, I sell all my money and my stocks and my Bitcoin and everybody's doing that. That's gonna drive the price down. So and I mean right now in in

Duds Audio: Everybody's doing that. That's gonna drive the price down. So And right now in in Bitcoin's, infancy that it is in, it's very volatile still. So yeah, the safer bet right now, even though inflation is crazy, is hey, if I if I think panic's gonna set in, people are gonna start dumping all their investments and the market's gonna crash, Bitcoin could crash, you know, sure another fifty percent and go down. You could lose fifty percent of your value. Right. And if you go pull it into cash, yeah, inflation's

Bright: you know, infancy that it is and it's very volatile still. So yeah, the safer bet right now, even though inflation is crazy, is hey, if I if I think panic's gonna set it and people are gonna start dumping all their investments and the market's gonna crash, Bitcoin could crash, you know, sure fifty percent right down. Right. Lose fifty percent your value. Right. And if you go pull it into cash, yeah, inflation's six

Duds Audio: six or eight percent, that's still not as bad as losing fifty percent. So that's why if

Bright: or eight percent. That's still not as bad as losing fifty percent. So that's why

Duds Audio: panic sets in, people are still gonna sell it. You know, it's not going to obviously hold its value versus cash in the short term. Right. Now in the long term, that's what you're looking at. So well so is that what like here's another question. What evidence would change your outlook that this isn't just merely short term noise when it comes to Bitcoin?

Bright: panic sets in, people are still gonna sell it, it's not going to obviously hold its value versus cash in the short term. Right. Now in the long term, that's what you're looking at. So well so is that what you like here's another question. What evidence would change your outlook that this isn't just merely short term noise when it comes to Bitcoin?

Duds Audio: What do you mean? Like what would Yeah, what would have to happen for you to be like, you know what? I need to get out. Like this isn't this isn't just a dip. This is the I don't want to say the collapse of Bitcoin, but this this is more serious. Like it's going to I guess I haven't really thought of that. Like what it would take. It is a good question. I'd have to contemplate on that a little bit.

Bright: What do you mean? what would Yeah, what would have to happen for you to be like, you know what? I need to get out. Like this isn't this isn't just a dip. This is the I don't want to say the collapse of Bitcoin, but this this is more serious. Like it's going to Right. Good question, right?

Duds Audio: Like what what would make me want to sell the Bitcoin? I don't know. We'll have to come back to that because I'd have to think of that a little bit. All right. Right. It would have to if there was Yeah, honestly, I I can't think of anything that would that would strike me unless it was something that was going to be just a major major panic, you know. Yeah. But even then, like over time

Bright: I don't know. We'll have to come back to that come back to that question a little bit. All right. Well you got it would have to you know, if there was Yeah, honestly, I I can't think of anything that would that would strike me unless it was something that was going to be just a major major panic, you know. Yeah. But even then like over I you're a true believer. You you think that Bitcoin is gonna replace the US dollar. Eventually. Eventually. Not maybe not in our lifetime. hopefully. Yeah. Well, hopefully. It's it's a good and a bad thing, right? hopefully because Bitcoin to take over the US dollar

Duds Audio: I I you're true believer. Yeah, I think it's gonna go back up. Eventually. Eventually. Yeah. Not in the maybe not in our lifetime. hopefully. Yeah. Well, hopefully. It it's a good and a bad thing, right? If hopefully rooting for bitc Bitcoin to take over the US dollar as a global reserve, I think would be better for everybody, but it also would probably be not great for the US because the US

Bright: Because the US right now controls the world currency currency. It'd be it Bitcoin is not controlled by the currency. It would be a reset. Well it's not controlled by the US. Sure. It really kind of puts the control back into the people who own Bitcoin. It doesn't put control of the currency into any nation state, right? Unless that nation state happens to hold a bunch of Bitcoin. Right. So

Duds Audio: right now controls the world currency, right? The world reserve currency. Bitcoin's not Bitcoin is not controlled by the United States. Well, it's not controlled by the US. So it really kinda puts the control back into the people who own Bitcoin. It doesn't put control of the currency into any nation state, right? Unless that nation state happens to hold the majority of the Bitcoin, which I think of what the US is trying to do. So it's kind of good and bad in the fact that I mean

Bright: It's kinda good and bad in the fact that who knows what would what would happen. Nobody nobody really knows how how this will all shake out with Bitcoin and and the US dollar. If the if the dollar keeps being printed the way it is, then I I do think over time people are gonna as more and more of the Bitcoin gets bought up, they're gonna start to go towards that. They're gonna over history money flows to the hardest asset. Right. Right. Right.

Duds Audio: Who knows what would what would happen. Nobody nobody really knows how how this will all shake out with Bitcoin and and the US dollar. If the if the dollar keeps being printed the way it is, then I I do think over time people are gonna as more and more of the Bitcoin gets bought up, they're gonna start to go towards that. They're g over history, money flows to the hardest asset. Right. Right. Right. You see it with silver and gold.

Bright: We see it with silver and gold, right? Yeah. Over thousands of years. Property. That's where well yeah. Exactly. nobody wants to hold their value in in dollars anymore because it's not a hard asset. Well you know, Greaves Greaves said that when we had him on and he was talking about his kids and how they don't want they don't want US dollar allowance anymore. They what did it what was it called? Goldbacks? Yeah, goldbacks or something, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was something like that, right? Yeah.

Duds Audio: Right. over thousands of years property. That's where well yeah. Exactly. nobody h wants to hold their value in in dollars anymore because it's not a hard asset. It's easy money. Greaves said that when we had him on and he was talking about his kids and how they don't want they don't want US dollar allowance anymore. They what did it what was it called? Goldbacks? Yeah, gold back or something, yeah. Yeah, it was something like that, right? You could go buy some gold back currencies or whatever.

Bright: Right. Right. Yeah. I might have to get some of that for my kids for Christmas or something. That might be a good Christmas gift in the stocking or something. Bitcoin I don't think is gonna go over very well for them. yeah. Yeah. The just trying to understand money at all. No. Yeah. Well, you know, it could pay off. Imagine

Duds Audio: I to get some of that for my kids for Christmas or something. That might be a good Christmas stocking or something. Bitcoin I don't think is gonna go over very well for them. What is this, Dad? Yeah. This crap out of here. No. No. Like, nah, that's your stuff. I don't want that. Well, you know, it could pay off. I can't wait in you know, twenty years when I'm like, hey, I gave you the chance. I was gonna try to get you some Bitcoin. You didn't want it. Here, Dad.

Bright: Yeah, what like here Dad, have my piggy bank, like how much Bitcoin

Duds Audio: Piggy bang. how much Bitcoin?

Bright: could they actually buy, right?

Duds Audio: A couple, couple portions, couple percentage points. Alright. going back to NVIDIA, I don't know if you have anything else to add, but a couple of questions here. And some men are just weak, man. They just can't can't keep it in their pants. I don't know. Like gotta be stronger than that. I d I don't envision us having that issue.

Bright: Couple portions. Yeah. All right. going back to NVIDIA, I don't know if you have anything else to add, but a couple of questions here and and this men are just weak, man. I I think that is what it is. I don't know. Like maybe stronger than that. I d I don't envision us having that issue. I mean nobody can say that. That's th I get that. I do. It's it's it's a tough thing. Right.

Duds Audio: nobody can say that. You know, because you gotta do it's it's it's a tough thing. It's right. Men are you know men are animals. Yeah. Well, and I I guess right, all is all it takes is one drunk at night or who knows this guy's doing coke you know, in the bathroom. Well and who knows what his personal life with his wife is, you know. She's is he a s the some sex crazed maniac who's not getting any sex addict, of course he is. He's a rich powerful man. Of course, he said that.

Bright: Yeah. Well, and I I guess right, all is all it takes is one drunk at night, or who knows this guy's doing coke in the bathroom or who knows what his personal life with his wife is, Sure. Is he a some sex crazed man? Right. Well he's a sex addict, of course he is. He's a rich, powerful man. I already I already said that. Right. Yeah. So I mean, you know, you just don't know. Yeah if this guy

Duds Audio: So you just don't know. And if if this guy, is like, hey, I I got these young, beautiful women around and I got all this money. Sure. he's I think he's sixty three. Yeah. Which should be a dead giveaway, right? You're sixty three and young, you know, beautiful girls are throwing themselves at you. That's part of it. Men age differently, right? Like he looks he looks okay, right? So sometimes I I see these people and I'm like like they don't look sixty. The

Bright: Sure. he's I think he's 63. Yeah. Which should be a dead giveaway, right? That's part of it. Men age differently, right? Like he looks he looks okay, right? So sometimes I I see these people and I'm like, they don't look sixty. The the gal that's taken over for him, go look her up. Go look that look her up on Google right now. No, I I think I looked her.

Duds Audio: the gal that's taken over for him, go look her up. Go look that look her up on Google right now. No, I I think I looked her the new CEO. Yeah interim. Yeah. How old do you think she is? I don't know. In her forties, maybe? Nope. Fifties? Well, technically. What do you mean technically? Fifty nine. wow. Really? I was like, dang, she looks good. I don't know how recent the photo is. It's possible that it's a thirty year old photo. Right, right, right, right. Not that old. But it's possible it's an older photo. My I mean

Bright: CEO. Yeah, did you see her picture? Yeah. How old do you think she is? I don't know. In her forties, maybe? Nope. Fifties? N well, technically. What do you mean technically? Fifty nine. wow. I was like, dang, she looks good. I mean, I don't know how recent the photo is. It's possible that thirty year old photo. Right, right, right. Not that old, but it's possible it's an older photo. My I mean, my work headshot now is probably

Duds Audio: My work headshot now is probably pre COVID or right after COVID, so it's six or seven years outdated. And I even got offered like, should we take a new headshot? I'm like, noop, that one looks great. Yeah, keeping that one. Yeah, do not need to. It's like the real estate agency, they never never update their headshots. Right, sure. No, I'm actually thinner now though. yeah. But but

Bright: pre COVID or right after COVID, so it's six or seven years outdated. And I even got offered like, should we take a new headshot? I'm like, noop, that one looks great. yeah, I do not need to change it. Never never update their headshot. Right, sure. Now I'm actually thinner now though. yeah, yeah. But but

Duds Audio: even even the headshot that headshot, like I'm not I wasn't at my heaviest. So I was like, it's it still looks good.

Bright: Even even the headshot, that headshot, I'm not I wasn't at my heaviest. So I was like, it's it still looks good. My beard is like the perfect length. It's just a good Yeah. Well, and I have I have six fingers. I've done some of those headshot things and they never

Duds Audio: My beard is like the perfect length. You just use a AI to improve your photo anyway. I have give you six fingers. I've done some of those headshot things and they never

Bright: really look Good enough to use. I don't know. I saw some of you and the wife, It was like Yeah, those were the fun ones, not the ones that I'm like putting on LinkedIn or something like that. That's just stuff that I'll do for fun and put in a flip book and give my wife for Christmas. I don't know. What do you do with that stuff? Show to the kids, they laugh and you never see again. Yeah, that's true. And that's what AI is really good for. I don't know. I feel like it's you know, don't like to judge anybody. Obviously the guy did wrong, right? But

Duds Audio: I don't know, I saw some of you and the wife, it's like Yeah, those were the fun ones. Not the ones that I'm like putting on LinkedIn or something like that. That's just stuff that I'll do for fun and put in a flip book and give my wife for Christmas. I don't know. what do you do with that stuff? Show to the kids, they laugh and you never see again. Yeah, that's true. That's what AI is really good for. I don't know. I feel like it's you know, don't like to judge anybody. Obviously the guy did wrong, right? But So and now I don't want to say his life is

Bright: So and now I don't want to say his life is ruined. The guy's a billionaire several hundred times over, probably, right? So this is gonna suck from Yeah, because he probably enjoyed doing what he was doing. I think so. watching one of the biggest companies in the world. Absolutely. Yeah, yeah, could be the biggest or the potential to be the biggest, certainly. And

Duds Audio: ruin the guy's a billionaire several hundred times over probably, right? So this is gonna suck from Yeah, 'cause he probably enjoyed doing what he was doing. being the CEO of a one of the biggest companies in the world, if not the biggest, right? Yeah, could be the biggest or the potential to be the biggest certainly and

Bright: you know, I don't know. That and that kinda leads me into my question is how much of NVIDIA was him?

Duds Audio: I don't know. That and that kinda leads me into my question is how much of NVIDIA was him? Right? Like he's been the CEO for pretty much yeah, long time. Yeah, thirty something years. Like he's been the guy. Thirty three years. Yeah. Right? And I mean NVIDIA when we were growing up, it was all about computer games.

Bright: Right? he's been the CEO for pretty much yeah, like thirty something years. Like he's been the guy. Thirty three years. Yeah. Right? And I mean NVIDIA when we were growing up, it was all about computer games. Sure. Right? You had to have the NVIDIA chip to make sure that you could run the best video games.

Duds Audio: Sure. Right. You had to have the NVIDIA chip to make sure that you could run the best video games That's the crazy thing too is like other than the last what ten years, maybe fifteen, it's just been kind of like a normal company. Sure but then in the last ten, fifteen years it's spiked. Really because of AI. I mean AI really threw it over the top. And so he's done a good job. There I don't I don't think there's any question about that, but

Bright: It's just been normal company. Sure. Right, because really because of AI. I mean, AI really threw it over the top. And so he's done a good job. There I mean don't think there's any question about that, but will NVIDIA continue on that trajectory? Forget about the stock price.

Duds Audio: Will NVIDIA continue on that trajectory? Forget about the stock price. Sure. Right? But Yeah, it's kinda like the Steve Jobs thing, right? Was he Apple? Apple's still around, but are they are they as innovative as without Steve Jobs? Steve Jobs was there. Right. Right. Rinse and repeat Apple TV? I don't know. I think Apple T V is a loss leader for them.

Bright: Right, but Steve Jobs thing. Sure. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Still sure. When was the last what was the last big thing that Apple really came out with? I mean I mean the iPhone. Right. Right. Apple T V? I think Apple T V is a loss leader for them. I don't think they make any money on Apple TV. Which is crazy 'cause they got some good shows. They have some great shows. Did you finish Dark Matter? I did. Me too. Did you like it? I did. Okay, me I kind of enjoyed the second season. I really yeah, I really enjoyed the second season as well. and a little predictable, I thought, at the end. Like I I was watching it with my wife the season finale and

Duds Audio: think they make any money on Apple TV. Which is crazy 'cause it's got some good shows on it. Did you finish Dark Matter? I did. Me too. Did you like it? I did. Okay. Yeah. I thought actually I I kind of enjoyed the second season maybe more than the first. I really enjoyed the second season as well. and a little predictable I thought at the end. Like I I was watching it with my wife the season finale and I was able

Bright: Able to predict exactly how it was gonna end. But it's a good ending, so it's probably the ending I would have picked. and it doesn't really get to that stuff, go. Let's stay on task. Stay on task. I'm gonna start off on a tangent already. NFMP is all about the tangent. We had the Bitcoin tangent, we're back now we're dark matter tangent. But anyhow, go to the show, go check out dark matter. Okay, all right, all right. We'll go back to shows then. Okay. Well, that's all I had for NVIDIA, but I wanted to transition a little bit into AI.

Duds Audio: Predict exactly how it was gonna end. But it's a good ending, so it's probably the ending I would have picked. and it doesn't We'll get to that stuff, Co. Let's stay on task here. Let's not let's not go off on a tangent already. NFMB is all about the tangent. We had the Bitcoin tangent, we're b now we're in dark matter tangent, but anyhow. We'll get to the shows later because I we have a couple shows I was watching that I want to talk to you about. Alright, we'll go back to shows then. Okay. Well, that's all I had for NVIDIA, but I wanted to transition a little bit into AI.

Bright: I just think men need

Duds Audio: I just think men need to be a little better than that. Of course. Right. Obviously the honey pots work, right? Young,

Bright: Of course. Obviously the honey pots worked, right? Young?

Duds Audio: attractive women are gonna entice especially older, rich men. Sure. Sex crazed men. Right. It works. That's why they do it. But you you always think that you're gonna get away with it. Yeah, do they think that they do? Does anybody ever really get away with it? I mean, you wouldn't know because they got away with it. For a while. Yeah. I mean, if they got away with it, you

Bright: Especially older, rich men. Sure. Sex crazed men. Right. It works. That's why they do it. But you you always think that you're gonna get away with it. And you never do. Does anybody ever really get away with it? It always wouldn't know because they got away with it. For a while. Yeah. I mean if they got away with it you

Duds Audio: would never know. Well, right.

Bright: Well, right. I I see we I see your point here, but when you're one of the richest men in the world for one of the biggest companies in the world, all it takes is the New York Times, right? Like somebody's gonna like, I'm gonna start looking into this guy. Right? And they're looking to take people like this down. That's what they're looking to do. Elon Musk, especially now that the Democrats are back in charge, they're gonna look to take him down. Right. Right? So they're gonna start looking so hopefully Elon Musk isn't doing any of this shit. Well, he's not married.

Duds Audio: see we I see your point here, but when you're one of the richest men in the world for one of the biggest companies in the world You're probably not gonna get away with it. New York Times, right? Like somebody's gonna be like, you're just too well known to this game. Yeah, you're too well known. Right? And they're looking to take people like this down. That's what they're looking to do. Elon Musk, especially now that the Democrats are back in charge, they're gonna look to take him down. Right. Right? So they're gonna start looking so hopefully Elon Musk isn't doing any of this shit. Well he's not married.

Bright: that's true. he can have sex with whoever he wants to have sex with. Sure. Yeah. What is he up to now? Sixteen, something like that. He's gonna surpass Mariah Mariah Carey's ex husband. Who is it?

Duds Audio: that's true. he can have sex with whoever he wants to. And he does. And he just has babies with him and Yeah. What is the upreasing the population? Sixteen, something like that. He's gonna surpass Is that a basketball player or Mariah Carey's ex husband? Who is it? Who w what's that one guy, the the one black guy who had the show, Nick Cannon? Yeah, that's who that's who is that who it was? Okay, Nick Cannon. I think it's thirteen technically.

Bright: Yeah, that's who that's who I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, Nick Cannon. He's got like thirteen. I think it's thirteen technically. I don't know. I don't know. But okay, so I wanted to transition into AI. I thought it I thought it worked. I wanted to talk about a couple of things. But the first thing is you texted. We were talking about AI in last week's episode and how I

Duds Audio: But okay, so I wanted to transition into AI. I thought it I thought it worked. I wanted to talk about a couple of things. But the first thing is you texted, we were talking about AI in last week's episode and how I am starting to use it, and I upgraded my open AI subscription and all that. And then you sent something in the group chat the other day, and I wanted to I wanted to get to the bottom of it. Like, what did you actually do? How did you do it?

Bright: I'm starting to use it and I upgraded my open AI subscription and all that. And then you sent something in the group chat the other day and I wanted to I wanted to get to the bottom of it. Like what did you actually do? How did you do it? Did you actually do it? I was just playing around. Playing around? Yeah. I saw that, you know, I have grok. Yes. It was like here, use this grok box.

Duds Audio: Did you actually do it? I was just playing around with it. Yeah. I saw that, I have Grok. So it was like here, use this Grok bot. And I was like, I had heard about people creating companies, creating a infrastructure of a company using all bots. Right. And like having the

Bright: Right. And having the

Duds Audio: HR manager and the quality manager and the CEO and the CFO. Like a little org chart. Org chart. Yeah. For what? For your company or for your household? For you? No, I was like I was creating a a fake company. Like

Bright: HR manager and the quality manager and the C So that's that's what you the picture that you sent was essentially the org chart. Org chart. Yeah. For what? For your company or for your household? For you. No like what? I was creating a a fake company. Like

Duds Audio: if I was gonna set up a company, like an like an engineering consulting company. Okay. You know? So I was like, all right. So I created this the CEO.

Bright: If I was gonna set up a company. Okay. an engineering consulting company. Okay. So I was like, all right. So I created this the CEO and I was like, here, this is what I want to do. I want to This is my goal. Yeah, I want to start a company. Yeah. See, here's my background. What what kind of company, should should I get into or could I could I start? And it was like, Well, here here's some ideas, I was like, Okay, great, we'll go with that. We'll do some engineering consulting, temper engineering stuff. And then I was like, All right, so who do we need to, start building in place? And we started made

Duds Audio: And I was like, here, this is what I want to do. I want to start Yeah, I want to start a company. I wanna see, here's my background. What what kind of company, should should I get into or could I could I start? And it was like, well, here's some ideas, it's like, okay, great, we'll go with that. We'll do some engineering consulting, temporary engineering stuff. And then it was like, All right, so who do we need to, start building in place? And we started made a like a CFO, a fine chief financial officer, made a chief marketing

Bright: like a CFO fine chief financial officer, made a chief marketing

Duds Audio: officer and started creating these other bots. And they all had names. Yeah, I gave them all names 'cause it was weird to not have names. So I don't know CEO, C F I want to call their tell tell Mike to go do something, it's like they're all the same bot though. No, they're different bots. There are different bots. Yeah, they're separate bots. So the C and I told the CEO I like, I want to I want that you to report to me.

Bright: officer and started creating these other bots. And they all had names. Yeah, I gave them all names. It's weird to not have names. Right. But they're they're all telling Mike to go do something, you know it's like they're all the same bot though, technically separate bots. So the C and I told the CEO I was like I want to I want you to report to me and I want

Duds Audio: And I want you to give, you're the CEO, you give the marching orders out to the other bots. So he'll give the tasks of like, okay, I'm gonna go talk to Mike, the marketing manager, and I'm gonna you know, get him to start doing some market research in this and then have him make marketing material and stuff. Can can can Bob then be doing the market research while Yes, that's the point. It's like so Steve, the CEO, is not doing the marketing stuff.

Bright: You're the CEO, you give the marching orders out to the other bots. So he'll give the tasks of okay, I'm gonna go talk to Mike the marketing manager and I'm gonna get him to start doing some market research in this and then have him make marketing material. Can h can can Bob then be doing the market research while so Steve the CEO is not doing the the marketing stuff.

Duds Audio: Mike over here, this bot is actually doing the marketing part. And then we created QC.

Bright: Mike over here, this bot is actually doing the marketing part. And then we created a QC

Duds Audio: Manager and a chief engineer, and was like, all right, we'll have the chief engineer start writing up some calculations and like some standard forms and stuff like that. So he's creating all these standard calc sheets and different types of forms to use and like things we can send to customers to have them fill

Bright: manager and a chief engineer and I was like, all right, we'll have the chief engineer start writing up some, you know, calculations and like some projections forms and stuff like that. So he's creating all these standard calc sheets and different types of forms to use and like things we can send to customers to have them fill out

Duds Audio: out. So he's got these different bots working these different tasks that you would have to be assigning to different people within your company.

Bright: got these different bots working these different tasks yeah you have to be assigning to different people within your company. So So what are you gonna do with this? Was it just for fun?

Duds Audio: So what are gonna do with this? Was it just for fun? It's just for fun, but I ran out of I guess you get a certain amount of tokens or usage, right? I burned all that up in one day. Like 'cause it was they were going crazy. I have like seven bots working for me. Is it reset? It's weekly. Weekly. Yeah. So next Monday, man, I'm gonna be going going

Bright: yes. Yeah, yeah. I burned all that up in one day. Like 'cause it was they were going crazy. So when does it even bots work when does it reset? It's weekly. Weekly.

Duds Audio: all all in again. So that was the problem that I was telling you. I think I talked about it last week that I ran into is I started using Chat GPT work and and things like that. And it was doing all this stuff for me behind the scenes.

Bright: Well, so that was the problem that I was telling you. I think I talked about it last week that I ran into is I started using Chat GPT work and and things like that and it was doing all this stuff for me behind the scenes and I would run out of tokens and it'd be like, You gotta wait five hours and I'm like, I don't wanna wait five hours and then every now and then I'd you could do like a reset and you got like a certain amount of reset and then

Duds Audio: And I would run out of tokens and it'd be like, You gotta wait five hours. I'm like, I don't wanna wait five hours and then every now and then I'd you could do like a reset. You got like a certain amount of reset and then whatever. And I would actually ask Chat GPT, like, is now a good time to do the reset, you know, 'cause I didn't really understand it. Right. And so I did it a couple of times and then I'd run out again and I'm like, Okay, like it's been two hours and so I upgraded.

Bright: Whatever. And I would actually ask Chat GPT, is now a good time to do the reset? 'cause I didn't really understand it. And so I did it a couple of times and then I'd run out again. And I'm like, okay, like it's been two hours. And so I upgraded and

Duds Audio: And I'm only on week two, but I couldn't I was not able to burn through my your upgraded

Bright: I'm only on week two, but like I couldn't I was not able to burn through my upgrade.

Duds Audio: amount. I upgraded tokens. And I what I I texted you back when you were texting me about the CEO stuff, I built a whole app for my wife

Bright: my upgraded tokens. And I would I and I texted you back when you were texting me about the CEO stuff. I built a whole app for my wife, was a couple days ago. Yes. So she had already started this chat of her personal styling assistant. And she uses my ChatGPT, but she has her own project. ChatGPT knows it's her when she's working in that project and all that stuff. So she would take pictures of her clothes, take pictures of the outfits that she was wearing, take pictures of her jewelry.

Duds Audio: for the clothes? Yes. So she had already started this chat of her personal styling assistant. And she uses my Chat GPT, but she has her own project. ChatGPT knows it's her when she's working in that project and all that stuff. So she would take pictures of her clothes, take pictures of the outfits that she was wearing, take pictures of her jewelry, ask for help on what goes putting all the stuff together. Yeah, yeah. And chat would make recommendations like when we went to England or if she had a work event or whatever it is, you know. So she had all this stuff. Well she was completely

Bright: Ask for help on what goes with what or put yeah, yeah. And chat would make recommendations like when we went to England or if she had a work event or whatever it is, you know. So she had all the stuff. Well, she was complaining

Duds Audio: complaining that it it couldn't remember anything anymore. It lost like we saw. All the history. She had so much stuff in that chat that it couldn't keep track of it all anymore. And I was like, well what you need to do is you need to have an actual database that I can refer to. So that's where I started. I had chat build the database and it went through each item, each picture, uploaded it into my Google Drive with a a whole database it and assigned every item a number

Bright: that it it couldn't remember anything anymore. It lost like we she had so she had so much stuff in that chat that it couldn't keep track of it all anymore. And I was like, Well what you need to do is you need to have an actual database that I can refer to. So that's where I started. I had chat build the The database and it went through each item, each picture, uploaded it into my Google Drive with a a whole database. It it assigned every item a number. It's like CX or C B 0123 blah blah blah. Yeah, see, yeah. And then the shirt, the color, the style, the

Duds Audio: It's like C X C B zero one two three blah blah blah. Is this shirt. And then the shirt, the color, the style, the manufacturer if we know it, what temperature it's best at, like all the different things. The laundering details. All of that. All of that, right? If it knows it. It's on hangar seven in your closet. Not that crazy, right? So then I was like, it'd be great if we could turn this into an app.

Bright: manufacturer if we know it, what temperature it's best at, like all the different things, right? Yeah, all of that. All of that, right? If it knows it. Well, not that crazy, right? So then I was like, it'd be great if we could turn this into an app, right? It was like, yep. So then we turn it into the app and right now it's it's just yeah, it's just local. It's you know, so she can access it. It's on Google now.

Duds Audio: Right? And it was like, Yep. So then we turn it into the app and right now it's it's Isn't it wild, dude? What you can say local so she can access it. It's on Google now.

Bright: So only her and I have access to it. But it's personalized to her.

Duds Audio: So only her and I have access to it, but it's personalized to her. She can go in and ask specific questions or But you could set that up and you could actually release that as an app. People could pay you for it. Absolutely. It's a way to it's a way for people that have no idea how to code. Mm-hmm. Sure. No ha you know how to do that. Yeah. And you could actually

Bright: She can go in and ask specific questions or say set that up and you could actually release it as an app. People could pay you for it. Absolutely. Sure. And I don't I don't know how to code. Yeah.

Duds Audio: build your own app and get it out there. And if you have a good idea, AI, it seems, allows you to be able to get that idea out there. You know? Where before it's like, okay, now I gotta go find people that can code and make me

Bright: Yes. Yes. Where before it's like, okay, now I gotta go find people that can code and make it

Duds Audio: an app. I don't know how d how to do that or who to do that. Yeah. Or how much you gotta pay for that. Sure. So it's pretty neat. It it is pretty neat. It's pretty cool. And so I'm curious to see what you do with this, where you take it. And then I kinda got I was like, you know, it'd be cool to set up my household like that. Right.

Bright: an app how to do that or who to do that. Yeah. Or how much you gotta pay for that. Sure. So pretty neat. It it is pretty neat. It's pretty cool. And so I'm curious to see what you would do with this, where you take it. And then I kinda got I like, you know, it'd be cool to set up my household like that. Right.

Duds Audio: Right? Where I'm the owner of my household and then I have the CEO, I have the CFO.

Bright: Right, where I'm the owner of my household and then I have the CEO, I have the CFO, right? Those are definitely the main two, the HR manager, right, to resolve disputes and stuff like that. I don't know. Like Catalina, I'm sorry, we gotta put you on a pip. Right.

Duds Audio: Right, those are definitely the main two. The HR manager, right? Yeah, hire any disputes and stuff like that. I don't know. Like Catalina, I'm sorry, we gotta put you on a pip. Yeah. Right. Hold on. Let's see. What what do we got here? What did you do at school? So yeah, that's what I was thinking. I was like, that that could be cool. but I also built a household finances app already, and I

Bright: I w so yeah, that's what I was thinking. I was like that that could be cool. but I also built a household finances app already. And I have I think I may have talked about about this in the pod previously. I don't remember, but my household what what do I call it? The mechanics.

Duds Audio: in the pod previously I don't remember but my household what what do I call it? The mechanics. like the yeah all the service equipment maintenance maintenance. Yeah. How I think I just call it like household maintenance hub or something like that.

Bright: Right. Yeah, all the service equipment maintenance maintenance. Yeah. How I think I just call it like household like maintenance hub or something like that. So like I just had my sprinkler system winterized the other day. So I I just message chat. I just talked to it. I'm like, hey, mark this down. So it it goes in, goes into the database, says, All right, we did winterization on November 10th. Here's the servicer, here's the cost, keeps track of all of that.

Duds Audio: So I just had my sprinkler system winterized the other day. So I I just message chat. I just talked to it. I was like, hey, mark this down. So it it goes in, goes into the database, says, All right, we did winterization on November tenth. Here's the servicer, here's the cost, keeps track of all of that.

Bright: I said, all right, I replaced my my air filters at the f on the furnace, getting ready for the new season, right? And it's like, okay, boom, done. It knows that I have two on hand. It tells me, give or take when I should be replacing it, right? And so I what I did and I think I've It's like, hey, I checked the prices are gonna go up on that on Amazon. Yeah. It can do all that stuff.

Duds Audio: I said, all right, I replaced my my air filters at the f on the furnace getting ready for the new season, right? And it's like, okay, boom, done. It knows that I have two on hand. It tells me it's got your inventory when I should be replacing it, right? And so I d what I did and I think I It's like, hey, I checked the prices are gonna go up on that on Amazon. You might wanna reorder them. Maybe I'll do all that stuff. Price set it to reorder automatically.

Bright: So I

Duds Audio: So I

Bright: you definitely can and you can do that just on Amazon, but you can do that with with the bot too. Sure. Yeah. Well I used my Master Chief, which I talked about in last week's episode, which is my dot on ChatGPT, to source rush.

Duds Audio: you definitely can. You can do that just on Amazon. Sure. You can do that with bots to do it for me. Sure. Yeah. Well, I used my Master Chief, which I talked about in last week's episode, which is my dot on ChatGPT, to source rush. The Rush concert at the Sphere. right. And I have to say it was successful. It was. I've got two tickets at the Sphere Sunday, May thirtieth, in Vegas. and Chat GPT, my master chief dot, that lives on the cloud. Right. That's the best part, right? It doesn't Yeah, these bots all live on the cloud too, yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah. So if your computer's not working it's shut down, you're doing

Bright: The Rush concert at the Sphere. right. And I have to say it was successful. It was. I've got two tickets at the Sphere Sunday, May 30th, in Vegas. and Chat GPT, my Master Chief Dot, that lives on the cloud. So that's the best part, right? It doesn't even spots all live on the cloud. Yeah, on the Okay, yeah, yeah. So if your computer's not working, it's shut down, you're doing other things. It's still working on the in it's still working in the background, right? So it knew to go check to see if when my parents

Duds Audio: Yeah, it's still working in the background. It's still working in the background, right? So it knew to go check to see if when my

Bright: pre-sale code came in, when I could get in the queue, all of that. Now I went and picked out

Duds Audio: pre-sale code came in, when I could get in the queue, all of that. Now I went and picked out

Bright: my actual seats, but it did all the legwork. And I got my I got my tickets. I took your idea and I I have my personal assistant who works directly for me. Yeah. In my little company. Right with both bots. Yeah. And I named him Lloyd. Lloyd? Yeah. Yeah. yeah yeah. Okay. I never watched Entourage but yeah. so I had him you gave yeah

Duds Audio: seats but it did all the legwork. That's pretty neat. And I got my I got my tickets. I took your idea and I I have my personal assistant who works directly for me in our in my little company now with bots. Yeah. And I'm named him Lloyd. Lloyd. Yeah. From entourage I never watched Entourage but so I had him you gave yeah I'll need another one. you gave me a good idea with the checking the sphere tickets. I did we have a spring break

Bright: sphere tickets I did we have a spring break flight that I haven't booked yet that I wanted it to keep checking the price to see if the price would ever go down and alert me when would be a good time to buy it, you know? So

Duds Audio: flight that I haven't booked yet that I wanted it to keep checking the price to see if the price would ever go down and alert me when would be a good time to buy it, So I thought it was a pretty good idea. So I thought I'd I'd get on that. And there are, you know, apps that will certainly do that for you and whatnot. But I think I think AI now

Bright: I thought that that was a pretty good idea, so I thought I'd I'd get on that. And there are, apps that will certainly do that for you and whatnot, but I think I think AI now more or less is scrubbing the entire internet, right? So not only can it track the pricing, it can probably track the trends. Right.

Duds Audio: More or less is scrubbing the entire internet. Right. Right. So not only can it track the pricing, it can probably track the trends. Right. I was telling me, well, this is what a good price, and at this time for spring break, it's gonna be a little bit higher, but if you can get it around this amount, go for it. Something funny though, that it it's pretty impressive what these bots can do. So the little CEO bot went and

Bright: these bots can do. So the little CEO bot went and before I had told it like, hold on, we're not I don't want to spend any money yet, like, with this company. This is still just like

Duds Audio: Before I had told it hold on, we're not I don't want to spend any money yet, with this company. This is still just testing it out, seeing the viability of doing it. It was like, All right, well, I'm gonna set up a website. So it went out and it found, man, what was it called? Pork something. I can't remember what it I could look it up. Right. It was pork something. And it was some it's like a registrar, like for a for websites, domain register. I was like, I never heard of this. Just explain what it was. He's like, Yep, I'm already I I got your information, you know.

Bright: Testing it out, seeing the liability of doing it. It was like, all right, well I'm gonna set up a website. So it went out and found what was it called? Pork something. Can't remember what it I could look it up. Right. It was pork something. And it was some it's like a registrar for a for domain. Domain register. I was like, I've never heard of this explain what it was. He's like, Yep, I'm already I I got your information, you know,

Duds Audio: I set up an account. I just need you here's my my computer. Yeah. It's local computer.

Bright: I set up an account, I just need you here's my my computer. Yeah. It's local computer. Yeah. here, you need to take access of my computer, the bot's computer, to go in and and set the password, and then we can save it into the bot like vault or vault that it can save all these accounts and passwords in our so that it can go in and do all that stuff without you even having to authorize it per se. So it had already gone to that website, it had

Duds Audio: It was like here, you need to take access of my computer, the bot's computer, to go in and and set the password and then we can save it into the bot like vault. There's a vault that it can save all these accounts and passwords and everything. So it had already gone to that website, it had

Bright: filled out

Duds Audio: filled out all the information and it just needed me to enter the password because it for some reason it was erroring out it couldn't do it. Yeah. and the funny part was so I went there and I did it and I set the password, put it in the vault. But at the very bottom it was like, I am not a robot. Yeah. And it had passed that. It had already passed that like test or whatever. I was like, how did that work? It is a robot and it passed the no robot test. They know. They're smart, man.

Bright: Because it for some reason it was erroring out it couldn't do it. Yeah. and the funny part was so I went there and I did it and I set the password, put it in the vault, but at the very bottom it was like, I am not a robot. Yeah. And it had password test. I like, How did that work? It is a robot. Right. That's the real robot test. They know. They're smart, man.

Duds Audio: But I think that's so cool that it can go out and you can have these accounts set up with these

Bright: But I think that's so cool that it can go out and you can have these accounts set out with these access with these bots and they can go and they can maintain your website for I'm just authorizing everything that chat it's like get one time author. I'm like, Nope, we're good. I trust you. Which I don't know where I'm at. I had it full access your credit cards. I I ha it has full access to my well, it doesn't necessarily know

Duds Audio: access for these bots and they can go in and they can maintain your website for you. I'm just authorizing everything that chat it's like get one time author I'm like, Nope, we're good, I trust you. Yeah. Which I don't know where I'm at. I can give it access to your credit cards and have it go buy shit for you.

Bright: my credit card numbers or all that, but it has full access to my financials.

Duds Audio: full access to my financials, right? Through It's gonna lock you out. You can't buy that anymore. I'm sorry.

Bright: Right, through third party. I'm sorry. That yeah, that would not be good, right? I was looking at it to do a redesign. No, and it it it tells me that stuff. It keeps track of

Duds Audio: I was looking at it to do a spending is going out of control. You're gonna have to rein this in. No, and it and it tells me that stuff. It keeps track of

Bright: my net worth and i credit cards and it like I purposefully paid my was it my electric bill late.

Duds Audio: and it like I purposefully paid my was it my electric bill late. Just to see what it would do. Well no.

Bright: it would do. Well, no, no, no, no. be today was today was payday for me and the bill was due like Monday. And of course, like I have the money. It's not like I don't have the money, but I would rather it come out when I have a bunch of money and not when I'm at the bottom of my checking account before payday, right? So I was like, d pay my thing two days late. Well it was like on it. It was like, hey, I yeah, they were like, I don't know why, but like this is late.

Duds Audio: Today was today was payday for me. And the bill was due like Monday. And of course, I have the money. It's not like I don't have the money, but I I would rather it come out when I have a bunch of money. Sure. And not when I'm at the bottom of my checking account before payday, right? So I was like, d paid my thing two days late. Well, it was like on it. It was like, hey. Dude, you're late. Yeah. They were like, I don't know why, but like this is late.

Bright: we need to double check this. I'm like, calm down, man.

Duds Audio: Like, we need to double check this. And I'm like, calm down, man.

Bright: it's it's just the electric bill, right? it's not a credit card bill where you do get penalized. You better pay that damn bill. It probably is what it is. It's worried. It's worried about its life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So no, it it is just gonna get crazier, it's gonna get better. I'm I'm anxious to to see where it continues to go and what we can do with it. I mean, it's already doing a lot for us with NFNP. This podcast wouldn't exist without

Duds Audio: it's it's just the electric bill, right? it's not a credit card bill where you do get Hey, I run on electricity. You better pay that damn bill. You're gonna kill me. Worried about its life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So no, it it is just gonna get crazier, it's gonna get better. I'm I'm anxious to to see where it continues to go and what we can do with it. I mean, it's already doing a lot for us with N F P. This podcast wouldn't exist without

Bright: AI. It would take too much time. We don't have that kind of time. And that's why it does the editing for me. It now I have it even set up to do even more research. my outline is is almost perfected now with AI. I'm still picking the stories and and doing some of that, but I've got it all trained to do a lot more of that. It it doesn't post my clips yet, but

Duds Audio: AI. Yeah. It would take too much time. We don't have that kind of time. And that's why it does the editing for me. It now I have it even set up to do even more research. my outline is is almost perfected now with AI. I'm still picking the stories and and doing some of that, but I've got it all trained to do a lot more of that. It it doesn't post my clips yet, but it could if I upgraded my membership with my AI hosting.

Bright: It could if I upgraded my membership with my AI hosting. I don't know that I want to. It's not like that much more money. It's more on like the principle, like we're not making money on this podcast. So maybe one day if we did I'd I'd do it. But it's not it to have all

Duds Audio: I don't know that I want to. Yeah. It's like that much more money. It's more on the principle, we're not making money on this podcast. Right. So maybe one day if we did, I'd I'd do it. But you don't want it to have all the fun. Well, I know. If you if I upgrade then I have an MCP connection right into my my podcasting software and ChatGPT could go in and reorganize

Bright: Well, I know, right? If you if I upgrade, then I have an C P connection right into my my podcasting software and ChatGPT could go in and reorganize all of our all of our episodes, titles, show notes, chapters, clips for social media, all that. Right now I'm kinda copying and pasting and and doing some of that. So

Duds Audio: All of our episodes, titles, show notes, chapters, clips for social media, all that. Right now I'm kinda copying and pasting and and doing some of that. So it could do a lot more, it's just I don't know that I'm willing to pay more for it. So I mean w that's another what is that? I don't know. Yeah, I think the upgraded

Bright: it could do a lot more, it's just I don't know that I'm willing to pay more for it. It's probably like a probably is like another ten dollars more a month. So I mean what that's another what is that? A hundred and twenty dollars a year? I don't know. Yeah, I think the upgraded I looked up what the upgraded grok is. I think for the ultra highest one is like twenty six hundred bucks a year. Well, I mean that's a lot. Yeah. I so wanna get you fifty times I think what I

Duds Audio: I looked up what the upgraded Grok is. And I think for the ultra the highest one is twenty six hundred bucks a year. Well, that's a lot. Yeah. But it gets you fifty times I think what I currently have. Right, right. Which Well I so I'm paying a hundred dollars right now a month. Yeah. So twelve hundred a year. So twelve hundred a year. Yeah, so it's more than double. And they have they But it seems like it was a lot. it it gave you I used up that whole,

Bright: Well so I'm paying a hundred dollars right now a month. So for Chat CPT, so twelve hundred a year. And they have they have other it was a lot. Like it it gave you I mean, I used up that whole, you know

Duds Audio: all the bot usage in a day. Right.

Bright: usage in a day. Right. But it would give you fifty times that I don't know if I could use all and like I said, I I was unable to get I was still at like forty five percent and it it told me I had until today, but then it reset like yesterday at like four PM and I was like shit 'cause I was running stuff. I was like, let's just keep working. I'm like work away. Like hoping yeah, use it or or lose it basically, right? So it was almost

Duds Audio: But it would give you fifty times that I don't know if I could use all that in a week. I said, I I was unable to get I was still at forty five percent. And it it told me I had until today, but then it reset yesterday at four PM. It was like shit. 'Cause I was running stuff. I was like, let's just keep working. I'm like work away. Yeah. hope use it. Yeah, use it or or lose it, basically. Right. So that gives you motivation to do it. Yeah. It was almost

Bright: got to the point where

Duds Audio: got to the point where even the little I was probably only doing it for an hour or two, And it got to the point where it was giving me so much stuff to approve, 'cause it's not wanting to go off and do everything. It's like we're still gonna run stuff by you and get you to approve ev all this stuff. It doesn't do the thinking for you. Sure. but I was like, okay, well, I only really I and I told it, I was like, I only

Bright: Yeah, And it got to the point where it was giving me so much stuff to approve, because it's not wanting to go off and do everything. It's like we're just gonna run stuff by you, to approve every all that stuff. It doesn't do the thinking for you. Sure. but I was like, Okay, well I only really I and I told it, I was like, I don't know

Duds Audio: wanna really want to put in about four to six hours a week into this little company. Right.

Bright: six hours a week into this little company. Right. You know, so it's like, okay, what day would you like to have all this information? It was like, okay, Saturday mornings will give you all this and approve stuff. Yeah. And all that. It was like, okay, that's kinda cool. And it was like we're here's our estimated yearly revenue based off of your four hour per you know, per week work week and I was like, dang, that's pretty cool. Yeah. But it's not real. It's not. Because it did all of that for this podcast. Sure.

Duds Audio: so it's like, okay, what day would you like to have all this information? It was like, okay, Saturday mornings will give you all this and you can approve stuff and and all that. It was like, okay, that's cool. And it was like our estimated yearly revenue based off of your four hour per per week work week and I was like, dang, that's pretty cool. Yeah, but it's not real. It's not. Because it's fake. It did all of that for this podcast. Sure.

Bright: And I think what I didn't come to fruition yet.

Duds Audio: It hasn't come to fruition yet.

Bright: I was like, Yeah, it all sounds good in theory, but we don't have advertisers yet, right? Now, like, have I done everything that it wanted me to do? No, for a couple of reasons. One, like I have another job, I like have other commitments. You have to still be the face of the company. Like they're just computer bots. Yeah. They're not gonna go out and be able to talk to people and There's a goal, baby. One nothing blues. And you didn't know we're watching

Duds Audio: I was like, yeah, it all sounds good in theory, but we don't have advertisers yet. Sure. Right. Now have I done everything that it wanted me to do? No, for a couple of reasons. One, I have another job, I like And it says that. It's like, it's you have to still be the face of the company. Like they're just computer bots, you know. They're not gonna go out and be able to talk to people and There's a goal, baby. One nothing blues. And if you didn't know we were watching the blues game here and we did score.

Bright: Well I think it's obvious at this point. Yeah. Yeah. We're on the road against the Utah Mammoth and it's been a close game. It's almost the end of the second, was zero zero until we just just got a breakaway there,

Duds Audio: Yeah, we're on the road against the Utah Mammoth and it's been a close game. It's almost the end of the second was zero zero until we just got a breakaway that

Bright: one of our new guys, McTavish. And the We established that last week. And the ref called penalty, so there was gonna be a penalty but on the play, but we scored anyway. It probably would

Duds Audio: No relation to Craig McTavish. We established that last week. And the ref called a penalty, so there was gonna be a penalty but on the play, but we scored anyway. Probably would

Bright: have been a penalty shot even. But we watch the replay here. Make sure that we're on side. Ooh no. yep. No goal. It's they're gonna review it. we'll come we'll come back with an update. If you're listening to this tomorrow or over the weekend, you already know. But yeah, you already know the outcome of the game, but it does not look promising.

Duds Audio: The replay here. Make sure that we're on I was offsets. yep. No goal. They're gonna review it. no good. We'll come back with an update if you're listening to this tomorrow. You already know. You already know. Yeah. You already know the outcome of the game, but it does not look promising. well, here's some other AI stuff. I forgot where we were, so we'll just move on. But moving on. Did you hear about

Bright: Well here's some other AI stuff. I forgot where we were, so we'll just move on. But did you did you hear about Ring's new moving cameras? You know the company Ring? Yeah, the only thing I heard about Ring in the last day was all the oldness girls that got in trouble. Did you see that? I did not see that. Enlighten me. that's breaking news to you. I it is. I'm usually up on this stuff.

Duds Audio: Ring's new moving cameras. You know the company Ring? Yeah, the only thing I heard about Ring in the last day was all the Ole Miss girls that got in trouble. Did you see that? I did not see that. Enlightened. that's breaking news to you. I it is. I'm usually up on this. Three young girls, I guess they're all freshmen and they were down at Ole Miss and they made a bunch of they were going around and to these different like ring cameras. I may have this. Did you see this? Maybe. And they got in trouble.

Bright: May have seen this. Maybe. And they got in trouble. Or I guess they're kinda getting like, what do you call that? shamed. Shamed. Like blacklisted. What do you want to call that? can't remember what the term is, you know. Shunned? No, there's a term. Okay. I just can't remember what the woke what the woke term is. Okay. Cancelled. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Cancelled.

Duds Audio: Or I guess they're kinda getting like what do call that? shamed. Shamed blacklisted. What do you what do you call that? can't remember what the term is, you know. Shunned. No, there's a term. Okay. I just can't remember what the woke what what the woke term is. cancel. Cancel. Yes. What is that term? It's gonna drive me crazy. and because they made a bunch of monkey sounds when they were going by this ring camera. I did see something.

Bright: And because they made a bunch of monkey sounds when they were going by this I did s I did see something like this. It happens to be a bunch of black

Duds Audio: And it happens to be a bunch of black women that were in this apartment. Right. Well, turns out they were doing this like to a bunch of cameras. Like it wasn't they didn't even know who lived there. They didn't know these girls. Right. It wasn't a racist. No, they didn't know who was there. They were just being stupid drunk, you know. Right. Eighteen year old, nineteen year old college girls. So it's a big frickin' ordeal over nothing. Yeah. Figured he was way off site. no, they're still giving them the penalty.

Bright: Yeah. Right. Well, turns out they were doing this like to a bunch of cameras. it wasn't they didn't even know who lived there. They didn't even know these girls. Right. It wasn't a racist thing. They didn't know who they were there. They were just being stupid drunk, Right. Eighteen year old, nineteen year old college. Sure. So it's a big frickin' ordeal over. No goal, by the way. Zero zero. Negates the penalty too. no, they're still giving him the penalty.

Duds Audio: Why would it negate the penalty? Because the whole play was off sides. was the penalty after? Yes. okay. Unless they're calling a different penalty. Right there. Okay, so there would have been two penalties on the play. Is that holding penalty one, the back referee, and then you'll see here's penalty two right there. So we're still going on the power play.

Bright: 'Cause the whole play was off sides. was the penalty after? Yes. here. I mean, here, let's watch. Unless they're calling a different penalty. Right there. Okay, so there would have been two penalties on the play. So that was penalty one, the back referee, and then you'll see here's penalty two right there. So we're still going on the power play.

Duds Audio: Interesting. See, I think these, girls are getting the short and stick, they're getting shamed for this.

Bright: Interesting. Anyway I think these, girls are getting shortened a stick, they're getting shamed for this incident that's really it's just a college yeah kids silly. they shouldn't be cancelled. No, give a break. Yeah. Stupid c we all did stupid stuff when we were in college. Right. Yeah. I did I saw one video and I had a hard time I think it was probably just playing

Duds Audio: incident that's really it's just college kids being silly. they shouldn't be cancelled. No, give a break, man. It's like we all disappeared. You wouldn't even know about it. It's not like they were knocking on the door or anything. They just walked by it. I did I did one video and I had a hard time I think it was probably just

Bright: in the background while I was working and I was like, What what like what even is this story? I thought I saw that.

Duds Audio: This story. I know I saw the there was a bunch of s screenshots of it or snapshots of the video and people talking about it. I was what is this about? So I had to go. finally, I saw the actual video of it. They made it seem like it was bullying or something like that. maybe they knew that. they're trying to make it something that is it isn't. Well, do you have a ring camera? it's not a ring, it's like a different kind. But yeah, I a video. Who doesn't have a video? Video doorbell, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Who doesn't have that these days, right? You have to. Well.

Bright: Shots of it or snapshots of the video and people talking about it. I was like, what is this about? So I had to go. finally I saw the actual video of it. Yeah. They made it seem like it was bullying or something like that. maybe they knew who was something that isn't. Well, do you have a ring camera? it's not a ring, yeah. It's a different kind of yeah, but you have a video. Everybody who doesn't have a video camera these a doorbell. Yeah, yeah. Who doesn't have that these days, right? You have to. Well, would you buy a drone cam?

Duds Audio: Would you buy a drone cam? Like a drone? Yeah. hovers above your security camera? I've seen those. Those have been around, right? Yeah, well now Ring is launching them. there was I think it was a different company that I saw, but yeah, it was like a security guard that would like go around your house.

Bright: Like a drone? Yeah. An indoor flying security camera? I've seen those. Those have been around, right? Yeah, well now Ring is launching them. two I think it was a different company that I saw, but yeah, it was like a security guard that would go up in your house. Cams, if you will. So they've got the indoor flying security cam. Built in guns. Well, that gets me to one of my questions, Duds. Don't get ahead of me here. So anyway, the drone cam is 2K, AI assisted mapping and navigation for inside. $249.99. So $250. Planned availability January twenty-seventh. Missing the the Christmas.

Duds Audio: So they've got the indoor. I'd only get it if it has built in guns on it. built-in guns for well, that gets me to one of my questions, Duds. Don't get ahead of me here. So anyway, the drone cam is 2K, AI assisted mapping and navigation for inside. $249.99. So $250. Planned availability January twenty seventh. Missing the Christmas. yeah. Yeah. So that's inside. Then they have the rover cam.

Bright: Yeah, so that's inside. Then they have the rover cam, which is an autonomous ground camera robot, right? Or like the a z Roomba, right? Yeah, they're just trying to map your house. Yeah. Now this w I know. This one is four K, business focused, a thousand dollars, but it'll be out December sixteenth.

Duds Audio: Which is an autonomous ground camera robot. Like a dog. Or like the az Roomba. Mm-hmm, right? Yeah. Only They're just trying to map your house out. Now this w I know. This one is four K, business focused, a thousand dollars, but it'll be out December sixteenth.

Bright: And then lastly, they have an outdoor drone,

Duds Audio: And then lastly they have an outdoor drone.

Bright: has a 148-degree view with a 360-degree rotation, low-light LEDs. Everybody's gonna their heads. Exactly. That's exactly what it is. It has an AI pilot with cameras, sensors, vision models, and cloud processing.

Duds Audio: Has a hundred and forty-eight degree view with a 360-degree rotation, low light LEDs. People are just gonna have these drones hovering over their houses. Exactly. That's exactly what it is. The boy, like a capture net for intruders. So that's my question. I got I got two of them here. Would you trust a moving camera more than a fixed camera?

Bright: Yeah. So so that's my question. I got I got two of here. Would you trust a moving camera more than a fixed camera? Or does it just become another thing that's bound to break?

Duds Audio: Or does it just become another thing that's bound to break? I wouldn't personally get it. Right. 'Cause

Bright: Right.

Duds Audio: I think it's kind of dumb. But I mean I could see why for a house? Yeah, for my house. But what about your new AI business? Yeah, wherever that is. Wherever that server that they're in. But I could see maybe for a business, I mean that wouldn't like the worst thing. Well think about Bobcat Man. Right. How many times has he had his business and I hope he's listening? He's a he normally

Bright: For your house, you mean? For my house. But what about your new what about your new AI business? Yeah, where that where that goes from. Where that server. Right. But I can a business, I mean that wouldn't be like the worst thing. Well think about Bobcat Man. How many times has he had his business? And I hope he's listening. He's a n he normally listens. I don't know if he makes it this far but it's the worst thing.

Duds Audio: for a business might not be the worst thing, you know, have a little drone that kind of monitors the office or parking lot or whatever and then can alert you at least and then you could call the cops or whatever. No. They still break in, they still I mean I guess he he probably gets notifications, right?

Bright: Yeah. Yeah. He's got all the cameras and stuff like that, and it still doesn't work. No. They still break in, they steal his stuff. I mean, guess he he probably gets notifications, right? Well, but they're coming in at three o'clock in the morning, two o'clock in the morning when he's sleeping. But that's still gonna be the same thing. I don't know. they have it automatically go to the

Duds Audio: sleeping. But that's still gonna be the same thing, right? I don't know. Unless they have it automatically go to the right. The cops or whoever. Or it's AI assisted and it knows like it really knows when to wake you up. Right. Right? Like, okay, this isn't just a normal notification. We're s we're gonna sound the alarm. I don't know.

Bright: Right. Police. Well, which it could. Or it's AI assisted and it knows like it really knows when to wake you up. Right. Like, okay, this isn't just a normal notification. We're sc we're gonna sound the alarm. I don't know. All right. So the question is the next question is where should AI stop, right? So AI gonna stop. Well, and I this kind of AI, hover drones and stuff like that. So yes, it can go around and detect houses, but to your point, when can it be armed with a stun gun or right? Like we've seen it in movies, right? I I go back to twenty seconds, too compliance. Yes, yes. I go back to Dark Angel, which was one of my favorite shows.

Duds Audio: Alright, so the question is the next question is where should AI stop, right? So AI it's not gonna stop. Well, and I this kind of AI, hover drones and stuff like that. So yes, it can go around and detect houses, but to your point, when can it be armed with a stunt gun? Or right? Like we've seen it in movies. Yeah. Right? I I go back to You have twenty seconds to comply.

Bright: back in high school. Young Jessica Alba. Did you ever watch that one? Yeah, it was a good one, man. Season one especially. Season two less so. but they had those hover drones and that's what they would do. never no? well, you know, it took place in a post-apocalyptic United States. I can't remember that. An EMP had gone off, the banking system was wiped out,

Duds Audio: back in high school. Young Jessica Alba. Did you ever watch that one? Dark Angel? Yeah, it was a good one, man. But season one especially. Season two less so. but they had those hover drones and that's what they would do. I don't remember anything about the show. Never know. No. well you know it took place in a post apocalyptic United States. E and P had gone off, the banking system was wiped out. So it like a she was a genuine secret agent or

Bright: so it like resets. What was she with the show?

Duds Audio: something enhanced super soldier that I was like

Bright: She was a genetically enhanced super soldier that I was like, I forget the exact number, but like twelve of them had escaped. Kind of like stranger things, like like eleven. Yeah, yeah, kind of. And her she was X. X five four five two. I was thinking it was like the same type of thing. Yeah. Yeah, and that and that's ultimately kind of what it was. It more of a supernatural thing. This was more like science, right? Like Jurassic Park, we're gonna k.

Duds Audio: The exact number, but twelve of them had escaped. Stranger Things, eleven. Yeah, yeah, And her she was I think I remember when I first started watching Stranger Things, I was thinking it was like the same type of thing. Like they were making these super soldier type people. Yeah, and that and that's ultimately kind of what it was. More of a supernatural thing. This was more like science, right? Like Jurassic Park, we're gonna c

Bright: Take, this DNA, this DNA. Yeah, she was growing in a lab,

Duds Audio: take you know, this she was built this DNA. Yeah, she was grown in a lab.

Bright: kind of a thing. And then they trained her from birth basically to be the super soldier. And then they escaped somewhere around puberty age, right? Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and went on the run. And there were like twelve or thirteen of them that were in hiding.

Duds Audio: And then they trained her from birth basically to be a super soldier. And then they escaped somewhere around puberty age, right? Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen. And went on the run and there were like twelve or thirteen of that were in hiding.

Bright: And it was a great show and ultimately ahead of its time. It was directed by freaking James Cameron. It was his show, James Cameron,

Duds Audio: And it I mean a great show and ultimately ahead of its time, it was directed by freaking James Cameron. Right, yeah. It was his show, James Cameron.

Bright: right? And it was ahead of its time. And they they just kind of screwed it up. the second season they put on a Friday night to the

Duds Audio: Right? And it was ahead of its time and they they just kinda screwed it up. the second season they put on a Friday night.

Bright: death slot. Horror I mean, the first season was Tuesday night. A young Jessica Alba with like talk about prime audience for our age. She's only like yeah, for sure. That's a good start. same reason that

Duds Audio: That's horrible. Hor the first season was Tuesday night. A young Jessica Alba with talk about prime audience for our age. I that's why we were watching it, right? For sure. That was a good start. Buffy the vampire. Same reason

Bright: I started watching Buffy a hundred percent was because of the young Sarah Michelle Geller. I was at that age, right? I was in seventh grade, I think, when Buffy started, which was in nineteen ninety-seven. And then I want

Duds Audio: that I started watching Buffy, a hundred percent, was because of the young Sarah Michelle Geller. I was at that age. Yep. Right? I was in seventh grade, I think, when Buffy started, which was in nineteen ninety seven. And then

Bright: to say don't date so much. Huh? Don't date yourself. I know. Dark Angel started in

Duds Audio: Don't date yourself so much. Huh? Don't date yourself. I know. Dark Angel started in two thousand? I think it was before that. Ninety nine? Ninety eight, ninety nine. Yeah. Definitely not ninety eight. Maybe ninety nine. Second season was two thousand or two thousand, two thousand one, something like that. And

Bright: Two thousand? Maybe ninety ninety nine. Could have been ninety nine. Definitely not ninety eight. Maybe ninety nine. Second season was two thousand or two thousand, two thousand one, something like that. And yeah, she was genetically enhanced and escaped, post apocalyptic world. And yeah, she was a badass chick, just like just like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So for what it wanted when

Duds Audio: Yeah, she was genetically enhanced and escaped post apocalyptic world. And yeah, she was a badass chick, just like just like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So That's what you wanted when you were a high school boy. Of course. And that's that's the other thing. Like I said, when she was on that show, she was only nineteen. Right. She's like, we were fifteen, something like that. So it's not like it like she was our age, particularly. And that's the only people that were watching it were the fifteen, sixteen year old boys. Maybe.

Bright: Of course. And that's that's the other thing, like I said, when she was on that show she was only nineteen. Right. So we were fifteen, something like that. So it's not like it like she was our age practically. So we're watching it. Fifteen, sixteen year old boys. Maybe

Duds Audio: Maybe. I think if they remade I

Bright: Maybe. I think if they remade I

Duds Audio: Honestly, I think TV has come become such a much bigger thing. If they remade it today, that was her first show, right? Wasn't it? it was 100%. Her breakout show. Yes. And she's been asked about it. Who's the guy? Who was the guy in the wheelchair or whatever that was in that show? Michael Weatherly. What was he in too? He was in NCIS, I believe, after that. And they were that was like his first show, too, right? Really? Yeah. I mean, like he he may have groomed her.

Bright: honestly think T V has come become such a much bigger thing. If they remade it today. That was her first show, right? it was a hundred percent her first show, yes. And s she's been asked about it. People in the wheelchair or whatever that was in that show. Michael Weatherly and he was in NCIS, I believe, after that. And they were and engaged to be married. Right? Yeah. I mean like he he may have groomed her.

Duds Audio: I don't know. No, I don't I'm not.

Bright: I don't know. No, I don't I'm not that's don't quote me on that. Uhhuh. And they ended up breaking it off. It did not work. But when they were on the show, they were together in real life.

Duds Audio: Don't quote me on that. 'Cause he was older. He was like in his twenties probably. Uhhuh. And they ended up breaking it off. It did not work. But when they were on the show, they were together in real life. I mean she was nineteen. She wasn't like young. I think they knew, like, okay, she he probably knew she is gonna be something. She's way out of my lead. Let me hitch my horse to this wagon.

Bright: I think they knew, okay, she like he probably knew she is gonna be something. She's way out of my league. Let me yes, let let let's get this going right now. So But that's anyhow, this ring thing makes me think of that. They had these drones that flew around and they were essentially the police force. yeah, I do and then and then they retrofitted them with guns. That was I don't think that was the original plan, but then they retrofitted and

Duds Audio: But that's anyhow, this ring thing makes me think of that. They had these drones that flew around and they were essentially the police force. yeah, I do remember that. And they retrofitted them with guns. Right. Yeah, just shoot ya. Yeah. So that No need for a judge and jury. Is that where we're headed? don't think so. Not right now.

Bright: if you broke the law, they would just shoot ya. Yeah. It's easy. So that No need for a judge and jury. Is that where we're headed? there's a right now. Hopefully not. Not not yet. I know Skynet, all those things. There is a new movie and I didn't have property, could you get away with that? No. There's rules against like booby traps, like you can't set booby traps. I don't know.

Duds Audio: Not yet. I know Skynet, all those things. There is a new movie I mean on your own property, could you get away with that? No. There's rules against like booby traps, like you can't send Is that considered a booby trap? I don't know. A drone? I mean verifies that it is an intruder. Right, but like there are situations where you shoot people that are

Bright: Right, but there are situations where you shoot people that are intruding on your house and you still get in trouble. not in Missouri. Not Missouri, maybe not in Texas, but I like it happens. Sure. Right? If you don't kill the person, then they sue you for are they like you shoot in the leg, that's why you don't shoot people in the leg.

Duds Audio: Intruding on your house and you still get in trouble. not in Missouri. Not Missouri, maybe not in Texas. But it happens. Sure. Right? Yeah. If you don't have a person, then they sue you for other like you shoot them in the leg, that's why you don't shoot people in the leg. That's why you don't wound people. Yeah. I know. Aim shoot to kill. Aim to kill. You never shoot to wound. No, you never shoot the wound, a hundred percent. But you think that's gonna hold up with a drone? Definitely not. You're gonna be you're gonna be liable.

Bright: Yeah, I know. Aim shoot to kill. Aim to kill. You never shoot to wound. No, you never shoot to wound, a hundred percent. But you think that's gonna hold up with a drone? Definitely not. You're gonna be you're gonna be liable. Yeah, probably. Yeah. It's your drone. It's your drone. Yep. If it malfunctions

Duds Audio: Yeah, probably. It's your drone. It's your drone. Yep. And if it malfunctions I wouldn't get one. Like I said. I don't think I would do it. I do find it interesting. For like two forty nine? That's pretty cheap. Yeah, like I might do that. A thousand dollars for the Here's my question.

Bright: Mm-hmm. I don't think I would do it. I do find it interesting. For two forty nine? That's pretty cheap. Yeah, like I might do that. A thousand dollars for the Here's my question.

Duds Audio: If you had the ability to have a by the way, these nine percent beers. It's very good. Yeah, we'll give a shout out to our unofficial sponsor this week. We got

Bright: Yeah, we'll give a shout out to our unofficial sponsor this week. We got New Belgium Oak Spire Bourbon Barrel Ale. And I bought these today and I didn't know that they were nine percent. So what is that? That's like four beers that we're drinking these. Yeah, yeah. That's like four four beers over the course of this podcast. if you I

Duds Audio: New Belgium Oak Spire bourbon barrel ale. And I bought these today and I didn't know that they were nine percent. So what is that? That's like four beers. Eighteen percent we just had. Yeah. Yeah. That's like four four beers over the course of this podcast. if you I think I would be more willing or want to have like the robot that would, you know, clean the house and do the yard work. Over the security. 'Cause you could probably use that same robot for security. Probably. If a Tesla robot. Right. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I know they have the one that'll cut your grass. I would love that. But a Tesla robot. You mean the Huskvarna, just the r the Roombo for your lawn? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I I don't trust it yet though. Should I? I think they do pretty good. I think golf courses are using them. Really? Yeah. Yeah.

Bright: Probably if a Tesla robot or yeah, yeah, for sure. I know they have the one that'll cut your grass. I would love that. But a Tesla robot that like the Husvarna just the Roombo for your Yeah, it's the Roombo for your lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I I I don't trust it yet though. Should I? I think they do pretty good. I think all courses are used. Really? Yeah. Yeah. It just uses little razor blade. Right. cutting. Right. Well that's the whole thing. it maps your it maps your lawn. It's not gonna be able to like do the edging.

Duds Audio: It just uses little razor blade right like cutting. Right. Well that's the whole thing. it maps your it maps your But obviously it's not gonna be able to do the edging and you're still gonna have to do some of that stuff. But for bit if you had

Bright: Sure. Right. For bit if you had a

Duds Audio: a big open flat lawn, it'd be great. Yeah, and then save you a lot of time. I saw this advertisement the other day. But then you need your Tesla robot to do the edging of exact trimming. Correct. Yeah, the breaking of the leaves. Right. Yeah, 'cause it's not gonna do that stuff. So I saw this infomercial or

Bright: Yeah. I saw this advertisement the other day for me to your Tesla robot to do edging Exactly, right. Yeah. The breaking of the leaves. so I saw this infomoral or whatever you want to call it the other day and it was a lawnmower that has like a trimmer on it.

Duds Audio: And it was a lawnmower that has like a trimmer on it. yeah. it looked cool. Or maybe it was a weed whacker that had a lawnmower on it. However it worked. I was like, I could get behind that. Because I I like weed whacking, I like trimming actually. It's I find that That's kinda fun. Yeah. Yeah. Better than cutting the lawn. But it cut takes me so long to cut the lawn, I'm like

Bright: it looked cool. Or maybe it was a weed whacker that had a lawnmower on it. However it worked. I was like, I could get behind that. Because I I like weed whacking. I like trimming actually. It's I find that That's kinda fun. Yeah. Better than cutting the lawn. But it cut takes me so long to cut the lawn, I'm like, fuck. Now I gotta trim? Right, right, right. And it doesn't look it's my I'm not happy unless I trim. No, of course not. Right.

Duds Audio: By the time you're trimming. Right, right, right. And it doesn't look it's my I'm not happy unless I trim. No, of course not. No, you got to. And I've got a lot with the garden and then the patio. It's a lot to trim around. I could do it. I've thought about I don't want to pay for another service. Everybody all of my neighbors have the same guy. I'm the only I'm the only holdout. Yeah. You know. You're still mowing your own lawn, huh? The younger guys. so but I I I

Bright: And I've got a lot with the garden and then the patio and it's too much. I could do it. I've thought about I don't want to pay for another service. Everybody all of my neighbors have the same guy. I'm the only I'm the only holdout. You know. Now I'm one of the younger I'm one of the younger guys. so but like I I waved. He's never approached me, which is interesting. So I just like wave. He probably just thinks like he's fine. But I wonder because because of the garden and stuff like that specifically, I'm like

Duds Audio: He's never approached me, which is interesting. So I just like wave. He probably just thinks like, he's fine. But I wonder if he's too young. I'm not gonna Because of the garden and stuff like that specifically. I'm like,

Bright: How much would it cost? Right? Because not only does he have to go around the whole rock area of the garden, then I have the raised garden beds. And you gotta go around each garden bed. Fifth that's it? There's no way. No. And c and cutting the lawn? No.

Duds Audio: how much would it cost? Right? Because not only does he have to go around the whole rock area of the garden, then I have the raised garden beds, and you gotta go around each garden bed fifty bucks a week. Fift that's it? There's no way. Yeah. No. And c and cutting the lawn? No. Yep. For sure. That's way too cheap. No, that's what it would cost. It takes me almost three hours to cut and weed my lawn. Yeah, but it'd be like fifty fifty to sixty.

Bright: That's way too cheap. No, that's what it would cost. It takes me almost three hours to cut and weed my lawn. Yeah, but you see.

Duds Audio: Yeah. Somewhere in there. Might wanna do that. We we have a lawn service, but we're getting rid of it after this year. Yeah. They don't know this yet. Hope hopefully they don't listen to this podcast, but next year gonna have Jameson start.

Bright: Maybe we have a lawn service, but we're getting rid of it after this year. Yeah. They don't know this yet. Hopefully they're not listening. next year gonna have Jamison start. Yeah, yeah. That's the beauty of having a son. Yes.

Duds Audio: Yes. Time it's it's time. He's you ready? And we're gonna I think I'm gonna get so I I gave my old lawnmower to my brother in law 'cause I wasn't using it for the past couple of years.

Bright: Yeah.

Duds Audio: So got rid of that, and then I think we're gonna invest in the Milwaukee electric lawn mower, which I never thought I would get an electric mower. I thought it was really dumb. I'm not sold on it yet. But heard good things about it, and my neighbor,

Bright: Yeah, I've seen those. I never thought I would get an electric bow. Yeah, I'm not I'm not sold on it yet. But heard good things about it in my neighbor.

Duds Audio: he doesn't have the Milwaukee, but he has I have the eco green. Yeah, something like that. He's got one of those green ones. Yeah, it's really cool. Like he can, you

Bright: I have the eco green or something like that. It's good my trimmer and my I got a hedge trimmer also they're both powerful. Yeah it's really cool you can

Duds Audio: know, go out and mow the lawn, you can talk to him while he's mowing the lawn. Right. It's quiet. He g he goes out at like 6 30.

Bright: Right. It's quiet. Yeah. He goes out at six thirty,

Duds Audio: Thirty seven in the morning. That is nice. and you don't have to worry about waking the neighbors up. I do f I feel bad. Right. But I'm like, this is the only time I have. I have kids. Like if I don't do it now. And they've got power. You know? They can they can do pretty good. Right. So Yeah.

Bright: seven in the morning. That is nice. 'Cause sometimes I do that early and I do f I feel bad. Right. But I'm like, this is the only time I have. I have kids. if I don't do it now. And they've got power. Yeah. They can they can do pretty good. Right. So Yeah. We'll see.

Duds Audio: And and it actually they're lighter than the the old gas mowers. Takes two. Two. The Milwaukee takes two, I think two eighteen volts. Yeah. But it says it'll go for like it'll

Bright: Yeah, sure. Yeah. They take like six batteries or something like that though. Two, that's it.

Duds Audio: it could mow three quarters of an account. We only got a quarter, so But I think it'd be good for him 'cause it's it's lighter, so he'll be able to manage it a little better. And then I I can do the trimming. 'Cause I I'm the same way. I c I do actually like the trimming. And trimming's really it's the artistic part of the mowing. I would agree. Yeah. The fine the fine tuning, it makes everything look really nice. I never did the trimming. My dad always did the trimming. Dads are always gonna do the trimming. Yeah. And my my dad's the same way. He liked doing it.

Bright: it's lighter so you'll be able to manage it a little bit. Sure. And then I I can do the trimming. Because I I'm the same way. I I don't actually like the trimming. And trimming's really it's the artistic part of the Yes, I would agree. When I was younger the fine tuning it makes everything look really yeah. I never did the trimming. My dad always did the trimming, the edging. yeah yeah yeah yeah. And my my dad's the same way. He liked doing it.

Duds Audio: Yeah. And I actually I have the Milwaukee trimmer and it comes with the edger. Yeah. And I tell you what, if you don't have that, yeah, that edging tool is a game changer. So much better than using a string trimmer to do the edge. I do wish I had that. What I do like about mine is it's the self winder or whatever. yeah, yeah. my god. No

Bright: Yeah. And I'll tell you what, if you don't have that, yeah. That edging tool is a game changer. No, I agree. I do wish I had that. What I do like about mine is it's the self winder or whatever it's called. my god, that was a game changer. 'Cause you run out, I'd be like, That's it. I just I quit. Like 'cause it was such a pain in the ass to re Yeah, you just stick it through there and find it. You don't even I just press a button.

Duds Audio: game changer because you'd run out, I'd be That's it. I just I quit. Like 'cause it was such a pain in the ass to re Yeah, you just stick it through there and wind it. You don't even do I just press a button. and it okay auto winds. Stick it through, make sure it's even don't you wind it up first with the spring? No. I thought you had to wind it up with the spring and then push a button and it wound it. I just feed it through and I the the line that I buy is half green, half orange.

Bright: And so I just stick it through, make sure it's even on both sides. No. I thought you had to wind it up with the spring and then push a button and it's I just feed it through and I the the line that I buy is half green, half orange. Buy it on Amazon or whatever. I find the middle point. So this side of the trimmer is orange, this side is green, and then I just press a button

Duds Audio: So this side of the trimmer is orange, this side is green and I just press a button.

Bright: and it winds it up and I'm good to go. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's it's awesome. I think mine

Duds Audio: and it uses the electric from the battery? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Interesting. It's awesome. I think mine, you you put it through there the same way, but then you you wind it. Yeah. And then it itself winds it. The old one My old one you had to take it off and and put it on a certain way. And they had to they had to stay on both sides of the little drum. It was a pain in the ass. If mine quit, if I ran out of line halfway through, I just quit, I just next next week it is.

Bright: Same way, but then you you wind it. Yeah. And then it sells it. Could never do it. Like they just stay on both sides. Yes. If it if mine quit, if I ran out of line halfway through, I just quit. I just said that's Yep, next next week it is. man.

Yeah, if you wanted to sit up in the front row, you know. It's like not spending that much. I'm not at that level. Yeah. Hundred, hundred, two hundred bucks, that's not so bad, but it jumps up quite a bit. Yeah, your seven hundred dollars is gonna turn into two grand pretty quick. Now

That was the best. Scour, and then there was what was the other one? K something Kazaw. Kaza. Yep, that was one. Yeah. There was a couple other ones we used.

Duds Audio: Or T V shows or files. I think Napster was still I think Kazah was the one I really went to after Napster. Kaza ended up being the the creme de la creme for sure. Yeah. Napster had gotten shut down. Then you got to the BitTorrent stuff. Yeah, then you Torrent and I still use Torrent. Torrent's the way to go. And that was the thing with Scour. I remember trying to download movies and we would get to like ninety percent and then like somebody would call

Bright: Yeah. Napster had gotten shut down, I think, already. Yeah, then you got Torrent. And I still use Torrent. Torrent's the way to go. And that was the thing with Scour. I remember trying to download movies and we would get to like ninety percent and then like somebody would call or you'd lose the connection. Even if you had D SL, you'd lose the con you'd lose the connection. And then it wasn't like a torrent, right? Like you couldn't start back up at ninety percent. You had to start back up to zero. Yeah, like you had to start from the beginning.

Duds Audio: Kids these days don't even lose the connection. And then it wasn't like a torrent, right? you couldn't start back up at ninety percent. Start back up to zero. Yeah, And you're talking about a three megabyte file. Like it wasn't very big. A whole movie? No, I'm talking about a I'm talking about an MP three. MP three. MP threes took what, fifteen minutes to download back in the day? No, man. On a fifty six K it took forever. Yeah. Yeah, it would take forever. It took like

Bright: Whole movie? Not in three mega, but an MP three. MP threes took what fifteen minutes to download back in the day. Like on a fifty six K it took forever. Yeah? Yeah, it would take forever. It took like I don't know what that would come out to, but it was like probably a half hour. Really? I was thinking like fifteen minutes. No, it took forever. do you remember downloading like multiple files? Like you down hit when you were able to download two, three songs at the same time.

Duds Audio: I don't know what that would come out to, but it was probably a half hour. Really? easy. Fifteen minutes. No, it took forever. do you remember download for one song? Multiple files. you down h when you bring it down two, three songs to the same time. yeah, and it would just chew up your whole all your bandwidth. You know, it was funny, right before the P three's too, would download the I D I files. Remember those? The MIDI files? No. This is old school. Well, I mean I I'm

Bright: just chew up your whole all your bandwidth. You know, it was funny right before the MP3s too, but download the IDI files. Remember those? MIDI files? No. This is old school. I don't I mean I I'm pretty good with all that. I don't remember. Like your think about your first cell phone. Like the ringtones were on. Uh-huh yeah yeah. Well you could down those files were like the MIDI files. Right. Where it would be like I would download

Duds Audio: Back when you like your think about your first cell phone, like the ringtones that were on that. Well you could down those files were like the MIDI files where it would be like I would download top gun, yeah, like danger zone. Right. It'd be and it would just be the tones. Yeah. Like the sixteen bit tone. Yeah. And I had all those. I had all those they weren't even they didn't have any words. Like you

Bright: Top gun. Yeah. danger zone. Right. It would be and it would just be the tone. Yeah. the sixteen bits of tone. Yeah. And I had all those. All those they weren't they didn't have any words. Yeah. But But why why download why? Just what was the purpose? Because it was music. It was like it was before people were downloading. Right. Before that was even out there. Do you remember downloading just remember downloading ringtones? That's what it was. It was ringtones. It was

Duds Audio: But why why download why? Just the purpose. Because it was music. It was like it was before people were downloading MP3s. Right. Before that was even out there. Do you remember? Before Napster. That's what it was. It was ringtones. It was they were basically ringtones. You were downloading. No. No, of course not. Right. They weren't even out. Downloading ringtones. It was basically downloading. Yes. So as essentially it was downloading ringtones. Yeah.

Bright: They were basically ringtones. Yeah, but but you didn't have a cell phone. No. No. Right. Right. But but I'm saying you remember downloading downloading ringtones when you had a cell phone. Yes. So it was essentially it was downloading ringtones. Yeah. But cell phones didn't exist. Right. So you didn't have anywhere to put them. Yeah. And MP like Napster didn't exist. Yeah, sure. So it was before Napster. So where are you downloading them from? Just websites or whatever.

Duds Audio: But cell phones didn't exist. So you didn't have anywhere to put And MP like Napster didn't exist. So it was before Napster. So where are you downloading them from? Just on your computer. It was there were five websites out there you could download and be like, look, this is like the theme song, to Green Acres or whatever. It was like, and you it

Bright: theme song, in a green anchor or whatever. you it it was so cool because this was 'cause you downloaded it off the internet. Because you were downloading a song off the internet. That's why it was cool. You could un it was like this is something I've heard before and you download it. Yeah. Sure.

Duds Audio: It was so cool because this was the beginning it off the internet. Because you were downloading a song off the internet. That's why I was that you could un it was like this is something I've heard before and you download it. It was cool. Sure.

Bright: Yeah. We were pretty yeah. We were cut we were cutting edge. we we were on the forefront of all of this. We still

Duds Audio: we were pretty, We were pretty nerdy back then. Cutting edge. we we were on the forefront of all this. We still

Bright: are, I think, and we were talking about that. At least we talked about it last week. we're the golden age of our not our generation, but of the generations when it comes to technology, the internet, now AI, right? Like we're kind of in that perfect the we'll call it the Goldilocks zone.

Duds Audio: We talked about it last week, we're the golden age of our not our generation, but of the generations when it comes to technology, the internet, now AI, right? Like we're kind of in that perfect the we'll call it the Goldie Lockstone. Right? We're the golden Gen Xers might be just a little too old. Yeah, because my sister wasn't doing that. She was exactly she is a Gen Xer, right?

Bright: Right? We're the goal at Gen Xers might be just a little too old. Baby Boomer's definitely too she was exactly and she is a Gen Xer, right? Yeah. She's seventy nine. Yeah, yeah. Barely, but technically Gen Xer, right? But I don't think she girl yet ever got on Napster. She's also a girl.

Duds Audio: Yeah. Yeah, she was a 79 or 79. Yeah, barely, but technically Gen X her, right? But I don't think she really ever got on Napster, wasn't downloading music, stuff like Girl. That's true. Okay. There were that is a thing. eventually it it crossed. She had way more cassettes though. She was more in that cassette time frame. I had cassettes. I I had a couple, but not mostly CDs. Reset?

Bright: Right. There were that is a thing. eventually it it crossed. She had way more cassettes though. She had more in that cassette. Yeah. I re I had cassettes. I remember but did did you record CDs? Reset cassettes? Did you record off of the I I showed you that. I found that in my parents' basement, like a mixtape that I made. Yeah. And it was I made a mixtape off of C Ds that I had.

Duds Audio: Cassettes didn't. yeah. Of course. Well I I showed you that. I found that in my parents' basement, like a mixtape that I had made. And it was I made a mixtape off of C D's that I had.

Bright: So I had a

Duds Audio: So I had a a a boom box or whatever and it had a disc player and it also had the cassettes. Yeah. So you could record your mixtape because you didn't have C D burners, this is prior to that. Sure. But you had CDs, like, okay, well I can make a mix tape off of my C D. So I would make a mixtape with all the cool songs. Combine all the songs from a bunch of different CDs on a one step. Well no, but I had Walkman.

Bright: a boom box or whatever. Uhhuh. And it had a disc player and it also had the cassettes. Yeah. So you could record your mixtape 'cause you didn't have C D burner. Yeah. This was prior to that. Yeah, sure. But you had CDs like, okay, I can make a mix tape off of my C D. Yeah. make a mixtape with all the cool combine all the songs from a bunch of different CDs. When were you listening to these tapes? You didn't even have a car. Well no, but I have Walkman. A walkman. Of course. Not a walkman, a walkman. Is it is not a person? It's not like Bill Walkman. That's that's straight from friends, right? It's not Goldman. It's Goldman. And I I don't want to say my last name per se, but I just got a heads up. Your connection is unstable. I wonder how long

Duds Audio: Of course. Not a walk man, a walkman. is it is not a person. It's not like Bill Walkman. That's that's straight from friends, right? It's not Goldman. Goldman. And I have I don't want to say my last name per se, but I just gotta heads up. Your connection is unstable. I wonder how long

Bright: that's been. It says we're still good. Yeah, we're at about an hour and a half in, so recorded. We'll see. it says we're good. I think we're good. It's still zero zero in the hockey game. We're gonna go till the end. but okay, so six hours on Wi-Fi. So I hooked up my wired connection. How long did it take me once I wired it up?

Duds Audio: We've probably just been talking to each other the whole time. We're about an hour and a half in, so nothing's recording. We'll see. it says we're good. I think we're good. It's still zero zero in the hockey game. We're gonna go till the end. but okay, so six hours on Wi Fi. So I hooked up my wired connection. How long did it take me once I wired it up? that was your Wi Fi. Okay, so half that time. Well, less than that.

Bright: Well, less than that.

Duds Audio: down down to what I thought it would should be a half hour. Forty minutes. Yeah. Yeah yeah. Once I wired it in done. So your Wi Fi sucks. It's not the Wi Fi, no the Wi Fi I just said that we lost connection, so like who knows what happened on the the pod, but like I'm streaming, like my Wi Fi's fine.

Bright: 40 minutes. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Once I wired it in, done. It's not the Wi Fi though. The wife well of course I just said that we lost connection. So like who knows what happened on the the pod. But like I'm streaming. Like my Wi-Fi's fine. I I don't know. I don't know. But it it definitely was a lot faster once I I wired it up. So we'll see. Two days off for let me

Duds Audio: It definitely was a lot faster once I I wired it up. So we'll see. Two days off Well you have to let me know how it is. Two days off, I know. Is it worth it? To play a bit like I'm kinda past that stage of my life, right? I don't play a lot of video games anymore. I told you the only one I really play now is Fortnite. Fortnite, yeah. Then you play that with your son. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I'm pretty good at it. But you can't play I'm not great. You can't play six with your with your son, excuse me.

Bright: Two days off, I know. Is it worth it? To play a bit like I'm kinda past that stage in my life, right? I don't play a lot of video games anymore. I told you the only one I really played now is Fortnite. Fortnite, yeah. Well then you play that with your son. Mm-hmm. Yeah. But you can't play G great. You can't play GTA six with your with your son, excuse me. Yeah.

Duds Audio: Yeah, I feel like I'm kinda past I I told you we had I g I got the red dead redemption too. I couldn't really get into it all that much. It's like just too much of never I didn't finish it though. It's

Bright: See I did like it. I never I didn't finish it though.

Duds Audio: too much of a oblig not an obligation, but a commitment, to to to do that. And that's and I guess the only way that you can actually devote the time is

Bright: Well that's the and that's what I mean. It's a lot of time and that's I think the only way that you can actually devote the time is to take it off work. And I didn't really care.

Duds Audio: Take it off work. And I didn't really care for the the gameplay, how you fought and all that stuff, so it just wasn't for me. Supposedly they're changing a bunch of stuff with GTA six versus GTA five. Supposed to be more realistic. you can only carry two weapons. If you if your face is showing, you gotta cover it up, you gotta change your clothes, you gotta I feel like I wouldn't be

Bright: Yeah. Yeah. But we'll see. Supposedly they're changing a bunch of stuff with GTA six versus GTA five. Supposed to be more realistic. you can only carry two weapons if you if your face is showing, you gotta cover it up, you gotta change your clothes, you gotta I feel like I wouldn't be

Duds Audio: that impressed with it. I don't I don't feel like that's the kind of game I want to play anymore. Yeah. because I got we got Battlefield. Yeah. I thought I was gonna love that. The new one? Yeah. Yeah. And no, didn't really care for it all that much. I struggle. Anytime I I get any of the like the new Call of Duty, I I can't keep up. I just feel like such a noob. That's exactly what it is. Yeah, I'm I'm getting killed by the people. I I don't even know where the hell they're shooting me from. Like just pisses me off. I'm like, all right, I'm

Bright: Yeah. I I don't feel like that's the kind of game I want to play anymore. Yeah. Yeah. Because I got we got Battlefield. Yeah. The new one the new one? Yeah. Yeah. And no, didn't really care for it all that much. I struggle anytime I I get any of the like the new Call of Duty, I c I can't keep up. I just feel like such a noob. I that's that's exactly what it is. I can't keep up.

Duds Audio: done. It's so funny. That I like one player games now because I can go at my pace. Yeah. Yeah. That's like I tried to play the new Halo. Can't do it. Just got destroyed. Destroyed. And we were good. I felt like we were pretty good. Yeah. We we were good. It was different though. It was different in those days, you know? It was different. Playing the land. Yeah. Now Fortnite, you know, you're still playing multiplayer.

Bright: It's so funny. That I like one player games now because I can go at my pace. Yeah. Yeah. That's like I tried to play the new Halo. Can't do it. Just got murdered, destroyed. And we were good at Halo. Like we we were good. It was different though. Yeah. Yeah, it was different in those days. Yeah. Now Fortnite, you know, you're still playing multiplayer, but I feel

Duds Audio: But I feel like I can compete a little

Bright: like I a little bit.

Duds Audio: better with that. For some reason it's just like it It's a little bit more basic, right? It's a little plastic. Call of Duty or what's the Battlefield. Yeah, I but it's just like I don't know, Battlefield is so difficult. Right. Now

Bright: Sure. It's a little bit more basic, right? It's not as complex as Call of Duty or what's the battlefield. But it's just like I don't know, battlefield was so difficult. Right. Now

Duds Audio: I was more of a call of duty guy. Like that was the game I I had previously. So Battlefield I had never

Bright: Yeah.

Duds Audio: really gotten, but I had heard it was really good, so I tried it out. I might get Call of Duty just to see how that is 'cause I was pretty good at that too. I could I could play that. Yeah. But Fortnite's fun, I do kinda like it. And the fact that, my boy plays it, it's kinda fun being on his team. My boy. I wonder, we're not I'm not too mad with my kid yet. He's not even but there are video games. I do like reminisce on the old Halo days, the the split screen. Yeah. That's fun.

Bright: Get Call of Duty just to see how works. 'Cause I was pretty good at that too. could I could play that. Yeah. But Fortnite's fun, like I do kinda like it. And the fact that, you know, my boy plays it, it's kinda fun. Your boy. Yeah, for sure. I wonder like we're not I'm not to that with my kid yet. He's not even but like there are video games. I do like reminisce on the old Halo days. Like split screen. Yeah.

Duds Audio: Well, and we we joke about it sometimes about getting a land party together and we did it for my wedding. Did you come to that?

Bright: Well, and we we joke about it sometimes about getting a land party together and we did it for my wedding. Did you come to that? I can't remember. Well I know you came to the wedding. Did you come to the land party beforehand? No? You didn't come to that? it w the night before the wedding. So like my wife

Duds Audio: can't remember. I came to wedding, but I didn't Well I you came to the wedding. Did you come to the land party beforehand? No you didn't come to that? I don't think so. it w the night before the wedding. So like my wife I think I might have flew into town like that. Maybe. Yeah, 'cause you were living out of town at the time. Yeah. So like my wife had she either w got a hotel or she may have gotten to stay at Union Station, I don't remember, the first night. And like got ready. So like I was at my parents' house, not even my house.

Bright: maybe. Yeah, 'cause you were living out of town at the time. Yeah. So my wife ha she either w got a hotel or she may have gotten to stay at Union Station, I don't remember, the first night, and got ready. So I was at my parents' house, not even my house. 'Cause I definitely have my house. So I was at my parents' house for whatever reason. That's or maybe my wife stayed at our house and so I stayed at my parents' house. So you wouldn't see each other on your wedding day, right? And so we had everybody over and ordered pizza and hooked up the Xboxes. Land party style. Yeah. And we did yeah, we did Halo Battle Royale. Yeah. my god, it was so much fun. It was it was it was

Duds Audio: I definitely have my house. So I was at my parents' house for whatever reason. That's or maybe my wife stayed at our house and so I stayed at my parents' house. So you wouldn't see each other on your wedding day, right? And so we had everybody over and ordered pizza and hooked up the X like old nineties style. Land party style. Yeah. And we did yeah, we did Halo Battle Royal. J Bird came with his laundry baskets. my god, so fun. It was it was it was

Bright: Just classic the way it was supposed to be done. And w I don't know that we've done it since then. We've talked about it,

Duds Audio: classic the way it was supposed to be done. And w I don't know that we've done it since then. We've talked about it.

Bright: but I don't know that we've actually been able to put it together. I know I really want my my son and his friends to play like the split screen right in the same room. Yeah. But they just don't do that anymore. Yeah. Like they'll sit there with their tablets and they'll play each other on their own tablets. It's just crazy. But it's just like way different. Yeah. You gotta be on the same screen. Yeah. It's so much more fun. Yeah. Although even when we're playing Fortnite on that eighty five inch T V

Duds Audio: Together. I know I really want my my son and his friends to play like the split screen in the same room. Yeah. But they just don't do that anymore. Yeah. they'll sit there with their tablets and they'll play each other on their own tablets. But it's just way different. you gotta be on the same screen, yeah. It's so much more fun. Although even when we're playing Fortnite on that eighty five inch TV and you get half the T V

Bright: And get half the T V. It's not enough. It's like I wish I had more. Yeah. And we used to do it with divided in fours, right? On a small screen. On a small screen. Thirty two inch. Right?

Duds Audio: It's not enough. It's like I wish I had the whole screen. I can't see anymore. Like in four. Yeah. I know. On a small screen. Yeah. Thirty two inch. Nate Dog, I remember we used to play Goldeneye on his like twenty inch television. Yeah. You know, in his room.

Bright: Yeah. yeah. And we'd be four screens. Yeah. But you did it. Yeah. I mean our eyesight was our eyesight was better back then. Right, you know, resolution and stuff, so the aiming mechanisms were probably worse,

Duds Audio: And we'd be four screens. So we'd be like you'd be on an eight inch television screen. But you did it. Yeah, I mean our eyesight. All you needed No, I it w the graphics were terrible, so like you didn't need great, you know, resolution and stuff, so the aiming mechanisms will probably work.

Bright: like it didn't matter. And you know, the you weren't shooting people so far away either. Right.

Duds Audio: And the you weren't shooting people so far away either. You know, you know, they were w like in the game you were much closer. Right. Like I think now these new games, you're like far away, you know. So the the guys are

Bright: Sure.

Duds Audio: like teeny tiny, so you gotta really be able to see and my old eyes can't see that far no more. That's what would always piss me off is I'd get like headshotted from half the map away I'd be like, No, no fucking way. How did happen? I don't believe it. yeah. They're cheating.

Bright: Well that's what would always piss me off is I'd get like headshotted from half the map away and I'd be like, No, no fucking way. How did that happen? I don't believe it. yeah. They're cheating. I used to love that with Halo, jumping around sniper rifles and Yeah, well I'm trying to remember some of the map names. Hang high. Hang high, definitely.

Duds Audio: I used to love that with Halo. Jumping around with sniper rifle would be great. Yeah, well I try to remember some of the map names. Hang high. Hang high, definitely Demol or what was the other one? not demolition, it was like void in the middle. It was a sniper episode. And they had all the portals and you had the void in the middle, so if you jumped out off you died.

Bright: What was the w what was the one where you had the void in the middle? It was a sniper episode and it had all the portals and you had the void in the middle, so if you jumped out off you died. See, that was a different that wasn't the first hero. That was a different one. It was either. I mean Halo One or Halo Two. Are you talking about when it was like what you're talking

Duds Audio: See, that was a different that wasn't the first Halo. That was a different one. It was either. Halo One or Halo Two. Are you talking about when it was like yeah, I I know what you're talking about. I think it was Halo Two. Yeah. Or maybe three even. No. That was one or two. I think it was three. Yeah, and you could teleport to different areas. So you teleport from one side to the other side. Right. And it was Yeah, I remember it was like two ships that were right next to each other. Basically. Yeah, yeah. And you like

Bright: Yeah. I think it was hailing two. Yeah. Maybe three. No, definitely not. One or two. I think it was one actually. You so you teleport from one side to the other side. Right. And it was a void in the middle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Basically. Yeah, yeah. And you like it was all sniping. And you would just hop around, you'd literally be jumping and sniping. Yeah, yeah.

Duds Audio: It was all sniping. And you would just hop around, you'd literally be jumping. Yeah, different rooms. Kinda. Yeah. Different floors. Blood Gulch, that was another one. That was like the that was like the main one. Blood Gulch was the warthog least favorite. Because it was all always about the The Wardog. Yeah. The warthog that goes. I like to go snipe, but everybody knew there was only so many sniping go hide up in the mouse and that one.

Bright: Yeah. Different floors. Blood Gulch. another Blood Gulch. I hated Blood Gulch. Blood Gulch was my least favorite because it was all always about the Warthog. Yeah. The Warthog, the ghosts. I like to go snipe, but everybody knew there was only so many sniping locations in in that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. classic. It was classic. I wonder if it'd be fun to play now. I mean it would be, of course it would be. But I think

Duds Audio: It was classic. I wonder if it'd be fun to play now. it would be, of course it would be. But even the old one. and they've remastered it, but I think the old one had the best customization. I really do. you could do rocket launchers and one shot kills and get rid of the shield. You could do all the stuff, right? Which was cool. Once we got into I think Halo three is pretty good, after that it got kind of dumb.

Bright: and they've remastered it, but I think the old one had the best customization. I really do. you could do rocket launchers and one shot kills and get rid of the shield. You could do all the stuff, right? Which was cool. Once we got into I think Halo three is pretty good. After that it got kind of dumb with the jet packs and plan after two.

Duds Audio: with the jet pack. I think I stopped playing after two. Yeah. that was two was really good. And I remember you and and Nate especially were very good at Halo. But what I will say, and whether you could choose to believe me or not,

Bright: Yeah. Two was really good. And I remember you and and Nate especially were very good at Halo. But what I will say, and whether you could choose to believe me or not,

Duds Audio: but when we went when we first bought Halo two, before anybody knew the maps, before anybody memorized any of that shit, which is what you and Nate were really good at. Screen looking. Yes. The screen looking. We went, we were over

Bright: But when we went when we first bought Halo Two, before anybody knew the maps, before anybody memorized any of that shit, which is what you and Nate were really good at. Screen looking. Yes. The screen looking. We went, we were over at Bobcatman's basement on this big sixty five inch or whatever. And you could do the dual. Do you remember that was the they instituted the dual guns?

Duds Audio: Cat Man's basement on this big 65-inch or whatever. And you could do the dual. Do you remember that was they instituted the dual guns?

Bright: double fiston or whatever. And I won I won the first night. I won not every game, I won't I won't go that far, but I was the definitive winner. Before anybody

Duds Audio: double fiston or whatever. And I won I won the first night. I won not every game. I won't I won't go that far, but I was the definitive winner. Before anybody was any good. Before before anyway. Right. Yeah, yeah. Before screen looking and memorizing were all of the

Bright: Before before any right. That's a good before screen looking and memorizing where all of the weapons

Duds Audio: were like when it soon as people figured the game out it was all over when it was just pure hand eye coordination and aiming it was me. Once everybody was like I'm gonna own the rocket launcher and you're never gonna get it ever again then I then it was you and Nate. But done. I held my own until that. and I'm still

Bright: were. Like when it came people figured the game when it was just pure hand eye coordination and aiming, it was me. Once everybody was like, I'm gonna own the rocket launcher and you're never gonna get it ever again, then I then it was you and Nate. But yeah, I held my own until that. and I'm still that was the thing with Halo 5, I think it was, was the last one I like that. Yeah. I I just Halo Reach, I remember

Duds Audio: like that was the thing with Halo five, I think it was was the last one I didn't even know they made that many. Yeah I I just Halo Reach, I remember

Bright: that one. Like I just I was like, I'm not gonna put in the time to memorize where all the crap is. So I'm never gonna be good enough to compete with those people. And so therefore multiplayer is not an option. Just doing them the single player anymore? Yeah, just single player.

Duds Audio: I just I was like I'm not gonna put in the time to memorize where all the crap is. Mm-hmm. So I'm never gonna be good enough to compete with those people. And so therefore multiplayer is not an option. Just doing the the single player anymore. Yeah. Just single player. Yeah, that's how it it kind of phases out over time, you know. I know. We're getting so old. So anyway, that's one of the reasons I'm looking forward to GTA six. Like it start with the single player and it'll be fun. I can do whatever the hell I

Bright: Yeah, it's how it kinda phases out over time, I know. We're getting so old. So anyway, that's one of the reasons I'm looking forward to GTA six. start with the single player and it'll be fun. I can do whatever the hell I want to do for sixteen hours. We downloaded this this game that you really wanted

Duds Audio: Sixteen hours. We downloaded this this game that he really wanted. it's called like Beam something Beam. but it's basically a bunch of cars and you can crash these cars, drive cars around. Right.

Bright: Beam, something beam. but it's basically a bunch of cars and you can crash these cars, drive cars around. Right.

Duds Audio: beam N G or something like that. I can't remember what

Bright: beam and G or something like that. I can't remember

Duds Audio: the actual name is of it. It's pretty cool. Customize your cars and stuff. And then you can take in different worlds and you can ramp them and it's real world, they have real damage and stuff. And it's pretty neat. you just drive cars around. So when you guys sit down and do a video game session, how long do you play? I don't know, hour or so. Yeah, hour, hour and a half, two hours maybe. Do you put limits on it? usually so he's limited on how much PS5.

Bright: cars and stuff and then you can take in different worlds and you can ramp and it's real world. Right. They have real damage and stuff. And it's pretty neat. you just drive cars around. So when you guys sit down to do a video game session, how long do you play? I don't know, hour or so. Yeah. Do you put limits on it? Like us I mean, so he's limited on how much PS screen

Duds Audio: sometimes, but not a not a ton. Yeah. Yeah. Usually got

Bright: screen time he gets. Sometimes I'll I'll add some to it if we're playing

Duds Audio: too much going on. Well what's your wife doing do during these video game sessions? usually laundry and stuff, you know. It's like that is no work.

Bright: Right. Usually two hours the max. Now do you ever play without now? Or I mean sometimes but not not rarely. Yeah. Yeah. Usually not too much going on. And what's your wife doing do during these video game sessions? Usually wandering and stuff like that.

Duds Audio: She listens to this. Making me a sandwich?

Bright: Yeah. my wife little Mario K I've tried to get her on a couple of video games. I did get her on a like a Halloween one. I was like instead of watching a scary movie. So I downloaded this Halloween game and it was good. It was like a story driven game, right? So you would watch a little bit of it and then it didn't matter who was playing.

Duds Audio: Halloween game. And it was good. It was like a story driven game, right? So you'd watch a little bit of it and then it didn't matter who was playing. It

Bright: It would be like can you press the button quick enough to avoid the person that's trying to chop off your head kind of a thing. And you'd be like running away and you would have to jump, duck, left, right. So it was pretty basic. She

Duds Audio: would be like, Can you press the button quick enough to avoid the person that's trying to chop off your head? kind of a thing. And you'd be like running away and you would have to jump, duck, left, right. So it was pretty basic. She I mean Couldn't do it.

Bright: Well, she did it. No, it was it was fun. We did we did fine. She's not the best video gamer, you know. That's that's for sure. But she she did okay. She's played like Civilization with me. She likes that. More strategic. Yes. Yeah, yeah. There's there's no

Duds Audio: Well, she did it. That was it was fun. We did we did fine. She's not the best video game ever, That's that's for sure. But she she did okay. She's played like Civilization with me. She likes that. More strategic, like planning stuff out. There's no

Bright: So she had to figure out

Duds Audio: like it's not how quick you can press the buttons, right? Right. So she had to figure out like

Bright: I love Civilization and you did too growing up. But I Civ two, that was like that was the best. Yeah, yeah. So we're on seven now, Civ Seven, which now I'm playing it on the Xbox as opposed to the computer. which just is good.

Duds Audio: I love Civilization and you did too growing up. But I I Civ two, that one of those first computer games. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So we're on seven now, Civ Seven. Which now I'm playing it on the Xbox as opposed to the computer. which just is good.

Bright: And it's I mean it's a great game. Civ six was I think also great. So I think we played Civ Six and she really liked it. Yeah. Right. But it it takes up a lot of time. yeah.

Duds Audio: And it's I mean it's a great game. Civ six was I think also great. So I think we played Civ Six and she really liked it. Yeah. Right. But it it takes up a lot of time. yeah. Takes you. I mean, you have to we would dedicate two hours, like the kids would go to bed, we would play two hours. And you play at the same time? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that was the tough part because she wanted to be in control. And it would just be a little too slow for her. I'd be like, you know, I move it all around.

Bright: Takes you you have to we would dedicate two hours, the kids would go to bed, we would play two hours and play at the same time? Yeah, yeah, I mean, that was the tough part 'cause she wanted to be in control. Mm-hmm. And it would just be a little too slow for me. 'Cause I'd be like, you know, I'm moving all around and when I got I like, we gotta do this, gotta do that, gotta build this, gotta do and she'd be like, What are you doing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. There's no changes to the game play per se. They've they've changed some of the mechanics. some for the better, some

Duds Audio: Do this, gotta do that, gotta build this, gotta do this. Is this still turn based or not? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. There's no changes to the game play per se. They've they've changed some of the mechanics. some for the better, some

Bright: Not so much. But the concept is still there and she's a she likes board games just like I do. That's kinda what it's like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. I mean, you can't necessarily see it, I don't think, on the

Duds Audio: not so much. But the concept is still there and she's a she likes board games just like I do. 'Cause that's kind of what it's like. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I mean, you can't necessarily see it, I don't think, on the

Bright: video feed, but I got all these board games. She she loves all these games, right? We play all. Huh? You play all those? there's a couple that we have not played. You could tell if they're still in the rapper, but yeah, I mean for the most part.

Duds Audio: video feed, but I got all these board games made. She she loves all these games. Right? You play all those? Huh? You play all those? there's a couple that we have not played. You could tell if they're still in the rapper. But yeah, I mean for the most part. There's so I mean there's some ones I know you would like. Eclipse.

Bright: There's so there's some ones I know you would like. Eclipse would be right up your alley. You've played Rail Baron, but I haven't opened it. It's from nineteen seventy-six completely unopened. It's worth about five hundred bucks. Can't do it. Can't do it. Not yet. Maybe maybe one of these days. Take a Mr. Grease over here. Yeah. Heat. Heat is great. It's like a car racing game. So you were talking about that. my daughter can play it.

Duds Audio: would be right up your alley. You've played Rail Baron. yeah. It's great. I haven't opened it. It's from nineteen seventy six, completely unopened. It's worth about five hundred bucks. Can't do it. Can't do it. Not yet. Maybe maybe one of these days. Get your Mr. Greaves over here. Yeah. Heat. Heat is great. It's like a car racing game. So you were talking about that. my daughter can play it. So Red Rising, is that like communist? I haven't played that yet. It's actually based off of the book. Off the book. Yeah. And I was thinking about

Bright: So that's fun. I haven't played that yet. It's actually based off of off the book. And I was thinking about reading. It's a whole series, which is whole thing. But they're making it into a TV show now. So I was like, maybe I'll maybe I'll read the book, play the game. But I bought the game for the book and I really couldn't get into it. Yeah, it's kinda supposed to be like Game of Thrones but in space kind of a thing or something. I don't know. But the game I bought on sale for like seven ninety nine.

Duds Audio: Reading it's a whole series, which is a whole thing. But they're making it into a TV show now. are they? But I bought the game. I started the book and I I didn't really find it interesting, so I got rid of it. I don't know. But the game I bought on sale for like seven ninety nine. Seven ninety nine. Yeah, that's pretty cheap. Yeah. So I was like, I don't even like I'm just gonna buy it. Why not? Right, why not? Yeah, yeah.

Bright: Seven ninety nine. Yeah. So I was like, I don't even like I'm just gonna buy it. Why not? Right, why not? Yeah, yeah.

Duds Audio: It's like a happy meal. Yeah. Pandemic, those games are phenomenal. I buy the legacy ones. So I only got Catan. I played that. Catan Classic.

Bright: Yeah. Pandemic, those games are phenomenal. I buy the legacy ones. So I only got Catan. I played the Catan Classic.

Duds Audio: Yeah. Play that with sp six people, a six player Catan. Yeah, it's fun. Yeah. Did you ever play Solar Quest with us? No. It's basically Monopoly, but in space. And it adds some some different mechanics with like running out of fuel. So like you can't go around the board anymore if you run out of fuel. yeah. So yeah.

Bright: Yeah. yeah, it's fun. Yeah. Did you ever play Solar Quest with us, Greaves? And it's basically Monopoly, but in space. And it adds some some different mechanics with like running out of fuel. So like you can't go around the board anymore if you run out of fuel. yeah. So yeah. You're going between the planets and stuff. So that one's pretty cool.

Duds Audio: You're going between the planets and stuff. So that one's pretty cool. but yeah, so she loves she loves these board games. So I was like, Civilization is basically a board game. Right. It's just now it's on the computer and it goes faster. So but it still takes a lot of time. There's a lot to it. Yeah, planning all your cities up. And you you can start it relatively quick, but then Yeah, as it goes on. Once you get into the military shit. Well and you got so many cities, you know. Right. But still still love that one. All right.

Bright: but yeah, so she loves she loves these board games. So I was like Civilization is basically a board game. Right. It's just now it's on the computer and it goes faster. So but it still takes a lot of time to play that game. There's a lot to it. And you and you you can start it relatively quick, but then Yeah, as it goes on. Once you get into the military shit. Yes. Right, right, right, right. But still still love that one. All right. We gotta move on. Where are we at time wise? I mean we're

Duds Audio: We gotta move on. Where are we at time wise? where you were it is getting late. I hope you're

Bright: You are it is getting late. I hope you're

Duds Audio: all right. They might go into OT or I know. We need that extra time. We have we have three minutes left. All right. We talk about some T V shows, I guess. Yeah, let let's do that and then we'll round it out with

Bright: I know. We need that extra time. We have we have three minutes left. All right. Can we talk about some TV shows, I guess? Yeah, let let's do that and then we'll round it out with my my last two, which is the Saint Louis Blues and then Teas and City. Well, I think it's dark matter. Yeah, yeah. We we kind of referenced this earlier in the pod.

Duds Audio: Well I finished Dark Matter. Yeah, yeah. We we kind of referenced this earlier in the pot. Felt like that was pretty good. It was good. I I really liked it. I think they wrapped up the second season pretty well. It's still a cliffhanger and what I looked up is I don't know what's gonna happen. They haven't renewed it officially. Okay. Because they shut down the unit, right? Not to spoiler alert. Yeah, yeah, yeah. but there no, but there's still other ways.

Bright: It was good. I I really liked it. Yeah, and it's still a cliffhanger. And what I looked up is officially they haven't renewed it officially. Okay. Right. You gotta say that before you but there no, but there's still other way, like the pyramid now is still a thing. Yeah, yeah. But I thought that was all kind of keyed off that first universe, right?

Duds Audio: Right. that's true. But I thought that was all kind of keyed off that first universe, right? No, that's the the original box is off the first universe, which is what they But since they have the second box going. Okay. So that's based off the no this next universe, okay. Correct. So now So you're reading way more into it than I did. I thought it like, they shut it all down, they're all done. So that's that's another way they can get places.

Bright: No, that's the the original box is off the first universe, which is what they But since they have the second box going. Now they have the the cash base off the n this next universe, okay. Correct. So now you're reading way more into it than I did. I thought it was like, they shut it all down. Yeah, so that's that's another way they can get they hinted at it already that Jason Prime, our our main Jason, who actually I don't think is our main Jason. You think they're playing games?

Duds Audio: Jason who actually I don't think is our main Jason. You think they're playing games? I

Bright: Who's playing games? What do you mean it's not your main Jason, So I think the Jason that we're following

Duds Audio: What do mean it's not your main Jason? So I think the Jason that we're following as a it's the good Jason, the protagonist Jason, is actually a random Jason, not the Jason from you don't think so? Not from the Jason from episode one. See, 'cause I was like, well, yeah, 'cause I agreed it was like it could be a different Jason, but I like I guess I guess we're gonna have to take the the stories word for it. They had an episode they had an episode in this season where

Bright: As it's the good Jason, the protagonist Jason is actually a random Jason, not the Jason from you don't think so? Mm-hmm. Not from the Jason from episode one. See, 'cause I was like, well, yeah, 'cause I agreed. It was like it could be a different Jason Yeah, he's like how would you know? I guess we're gonna have to take the the stories Yeah. Well they had they had an episode they had an episode in this season where we followed this other random Jason and I was like, That is Jason Prime. You think so? Yes. And

Duds Audio: We followed this other random Jason and I was like, That is Jason Prime. You think so? Yes. And we're following Jason X. Okay. That is close enough to Jason Prime it doesn't matter. Right. Right? And then we have Jason two, which would be the bad Jason. the one that just found Leighton murdered. Mm-hmm. Right? At the end of season two. And he's the one that built the pyramid. And there's so much going on in that show. So insane. I agree.

Bright: We're following Jason X. Okay. That it's close enough to Jason Prime, it doesn't matter. Right. Right? And then we have Jason Two, which would be the bad Jason. the one that just found Leighton murdered, right? At the end of season two. And he's the one that built the pyramid. And and so much going on. I know, it's it's complicated. I agree.

Duds Audio: For for an average viewer it's probably

Bright: And for an average viewer, it's probably

Duds Audio: way too much. Well, for my wife, who I would consider 'cause you cannot skip an episode. No. No, no, no. Or you're done. A hundred percent. Yeah, yeah. So it's a it's definitely I I still re It's probably almost too much.

Bright: Well, e like for my wife, who I would consider an ad yeah, yeah. Skip an episode. No, no, no, no. This is a serial a hundred percent. Yeah, yeah. So it's it's definitely like I I mean I still re It's probably almost too much.

Duds Audio: I enjoy those shows. No, I think it's fine.

Bright: I enjoy those shows though. I think it's fun that really make you think But it's it's really critical that you see everything. Yeah, and I don't know that you can't be like me watching it while you're falling asleep. No, can't do that. And e but even me who am I like a hundred percent paying attention, I think I have things figured out. I don't know

Duds Audio: But it's it's really critical that you see everything. and I don't know that you can't be like me watching it while you're falling asleep. No. Yeah. And e but even me who am I like a hundred percent paying attention, I think I have things figured out. I don't know.

Bright: that I have a hundred like I say this is Jason X. This is a random Jason. Are you just making an assumption? Right. I'm just making assumptions. I don't actually know that that's true. But I did I told you I th I thought it was a little predictable. I hope so. And then hopefully they're

Duds Audio: say this is Jason X, this is a random Jason right you're just making an assumption. I don't actually know that that's true. But I did like I told you I th I thought it was a little You hope the writers have it all straight. I hope so and hopefully they're

Bright: mapping it out, right? the whole thing with like Max and Charlie, like I I had that all predicted out. the way that it ended where He f flipped off the box. He didn't know that his wife and kids were in the box. I saw that before. Yes. Now what I said is like, what world are they in? And then they open the box and then the season ends. Right. we don't fucking know. not back in the right world though. No, we know that.

Duds Audio: He flipped off the box. He didn't know that his wife and kids were in the box. I kinda saw that one coming. Now what I said is like what world are they in? And then they open the box and then the season ends. Right. we don't fucking know. Yeah. So they're not back in the right world. I don't know that. No, we know that. when the one guy went to Chicago and then ever

Bright: When the one guy went to Chicago and then ever all the hippies are out there. I called that too. I was like, this is the apocalypse world. And they knew it that they stayed in the box and they were like Bye. Right. Then he sees the meteor coming down. Yeah. That was pretty good. yeah, it was good. I mean a bunch of murderers of that movie. yeah, for sure. Yeah, for sure. It was it was good. Highly

Duds Audio: in the asteroid game? Yeah, that was awesome. It's this is the apocalypse world. They knew it. As soon as he started walking out there, he's like, What's going on with us? And he sees the meteor. Yeah. That was pretty funny. That was pretty good. Yeah, it was good. They're just a bunch of murderers in that movie. yeah, for sure. Yeah, for sure. Pretty funny. It was good. Highly recorded.

Bright: recommend it. it deviates from the book, obviously. There's there's no second book, so season two is is fresh, but I liked it. We're probably not getting a new season until twenty twenty

Duds Audio: Yeah, deviates in the book, obviously. There's there's no second book, so season two is is fresh, but I liked it. We're probably not getting a new season until twenty twenty.

Bright: eight. Yeah. I know, right? Like trying to remember all this shit. But what else? What else are you watching? Yeah, but that's the other thing, right? Who is I don't like to go back and

Duds Audio: Yeah. So I'll probably be over it by then. I know, right? Trying to remember all this shit. What else? Well yeah, it's such a complicated show. Well that's the other thing, right? Who has I don't think I have to go rewatch all these? I don't like to do that. 'Cause how could a like a summary, you know, bring you up to speed. You've you gotta go find the right YouTube summaries and I'm not committing twenty more hours to this. Right. Right? And I love it. Don't get me wrong.

Bright: I don't like to do that. Because how could a a summary, well you you f you gotta go find the right YouTube summaries and I'm not committing twenty more hours to this. Right. Right? And I love it, don't get me wrong. just no. It's too much time for a T V show. Yeah to wait two years. No. And there's too many other good T V shows out there. So, Severance, watch that one. Mm-hmm.

Duds Audio: Just no. It's too much time for a T V show. Yeah to wait two years. No. And there's too many other good T V shows out there. So Severance, watch that one. Mm-hmm. I thought it was pretty good. I've been talking about that for a a while. Yeah, so I had seen like some people were saying like yeah, it was really slow. I was like, I didn't think it was slow. No, me either. My parents were good. They like we couldn't get into it, we couldn't like

Bright: I've been talking about that for a a while. Yeah, so I had seen some people were saying yeah it was really slow. I was like I don't feel slow. No me either. My parents said that. They were like we couldn't get into it. We couldn't like I was like, What do you talk about? Yeah, yeah.

Duds Audio: I thought it was good. What do you talk about? Yeah, I thought it was they I thought the the whole timeline, everything I thought they kept my they kept my attention the whole time. So what I'll tell you and I I think I probably though it's a weird concept. Like go back and watch Doll House. Doll House? Doll House. It's another show? It's another show from the early mid two thousands from Josh Whedon who did Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Bright: So what I'll tell you, and I I think I probably said this already. Weird a concept. Go back and watch Dollhouse. Doll House? Dollhouse. Another show. It's another show from the early mid two thousands from Josh Whedon, who did Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And it basically is the precursor for not only Severance, but also for Westworld. Did you ever watch Westworld? I know what of of Yeah. Yeah. I don't think I've

Duds Audio: And it basically is the precursor for not only Severance, but also for Westworld. I know what of of it, but I don't think I've I think I might have seen like episode. I don't want to say it's the original, like the concept was probably out there, but it was That was like a computer program or whatever they were in, right? Westworld. Westworld, yes. Yeah. It was kind of like a simulation that they would go into or whatever. Basically. With like robots. Yeah. Go check out Dollhouse.

Bright: Dollhouse was I don't want to say it's the original, like the concept was probably out there, but it was like a computer program or whatever they were in, right? Westworld. Westworld, yes. Yeah. It was kind of like a simulation that they would go into. Basically. With like robots and yeah, yeah. Go check out Dollhouse. It is so good. Also kinda like Dark Angel, a little bit ahead of its time, and it got canceled after season two because I mean, it was a serial show.

Duds Audio: It is so good. Also kinda like Dark Angel, a little bit ahead of its time and it got cancelled after season two because I mean, it was a serial show

Bright: on network television where if you missed an episode, for the most part, there are episodes that are throwaways, but you missed part of the storyline and you couldn't keep up and that was that. And it was but i it's pretty good. It stars Eliza Dushku from Buffy. True lies True Lies. Yeah, that's

Duds Audio: on network television where if you missed an episode, for the most part, there are episodes that are throwaways, but like you missed part of the storyline and you couldn't keep up and that was that. And it was but it it's pretty good. It stars Eliza Dushku from True Lies. True Lies. Yeah.

Bright: I don't know that's what I would are we in overtime yet? We are in overtime.

Duds Audio: I don't know, that's what I would are we in overtime yet? Yeah. We are at overtime. bring it on. Yeah, she's in some of those so

Bright: bring it on. So you know, she's in some of those so

Duds Audio: but it's it's a good one and it it's a mind fuck too. really? yeah. Dalhouse, huh? Yeah, Dalhouse. Really, really I think you might have brought that up before. I I think I have. Yeah. Westworld and and Severance. They're both based off of that for sure. Severance has a lot of especially as you get. So what do you think the deal is with Severance? Like what do you think they're doing here? It's been a while since I've seen it, right? 'cause like his wife was

Bright: But it's it's a good one and it it's a mind fuck too. really? yeah, Dalhouse. Really, really good. I I think I have. Yeah. Westworld and and Severance. They're both based off of that, for sure. Severance has a lot of especially as you get into season two. Like, what do you think they're doing here? It's been a while since I've seen it, right? 'cause like his wife was like

Duds Audio: trapped in this weird sub level of this company. Right. In these weird I almost thought they were like weird sex rooms or something, you know, that she was going into. It's like, what is this? Like what are they doing to her in there? I think that's it. I think as But then he's like doing these weird like

Bright: sub level of this company. Right. And these weird I almost thought they were weird sex rooms or something. Well that that's Dalhouse It's like what is this? Yeah. What are they doing to it? Right. I think that's it I think as then he's like doing these weird

Duds Audio: numbers whatever you call it, aggregating the the numbers and trying to figure this stuff out. But that somehow relates to her down in the sub level. Yeah, I don't quite remember, honestly. I have to go back What is it? Cold Harbor? I I what I remember is as season two goes on, it starts to connect more and more to the overall plot of Dollhouse, which I know you haven't watched. But like that they're trying to reprogram people.

Bright: Yeah, I don't quite remember, honestly. I have to go back and rewatch it. I I what I remember is as season two goes on, it starts to connect more and more to the overall plot of Dollhouse, which I know you haven't watched. But like that they're trying to reprogram people. Yeah. She has like twenty different

Duds Audio: Yeah. 'Cause she has twenty different Yes like s sections of her mind or something. And that's like Eliza Dushu's Dushku's character in Dollhouse. And I don't want to spoil that because it is a phenomenal show. But like sh where the concept is that she the Dollhouse is that she signs up to be a part of this thing and they wipe your brain and they put in this implant and then somebody buys you

Bright: Yes. s sections of her mind. Correct. And that's like Eliza Dushu's Dushku's character in Dalhouse. And I don't want to spoil that because it is a phenomenal show. But like sh where the concept is that she the Dalhouse is that she signs up to be a part of this thing and they wipe your brain and they put in this implant and then somebody buys you and you

Duds Audio: And you are another person. So they buy whatever person they want you to be and you become that person. But then where the mind fuck starts getting in is you don't know who's the real person, who's the fake person, who the original person was, what's the goal, like I think that's where severance is. Real screwy. Yeah. Real what? Real screwy. Yeah, real screwy. Yeah yeah.

Bright: are another person. So they buy whatever person they want you to be and you become that person. But then where the mind fuck starts getting in is you don't know who's the real person, who's the fake person, who the original person was, what's the goal, like I think that's where severance is going. Real what? Real screwy. Yeah, real screwy. Yeah, yeah. And in in Dalhouse, I won't get ahead of it, but it

Duds Audio: And in in Dalhouse I won't get ahead of it, but it it does not end well for humanity. Did

Bright: It does not end well for humanity.

Duds Audio: they tie it up well, like in in the show? Yeah. So they they canceled it after season one. And then I think they the they filmed a like final episode and then they ended up bringing it back for season two after it had been cancelled. So then they did season two

Bright: yes. So they they canceled it after season one and then I think they the they filmed a like final episode and then they ended up bringing it back for season two after it had been cancelled. So then they did season two and then they canceled after season two and Joss Whedon said, I'm I'm gonna finish it. Right? He so he made like a an episode on his own dime

Duds Audio: And then they canceled after season two and Josh Whedon said, I'm I'm gonna finish it. Right? He so he made an episode on his own dime to wrap up the story. Well that's nice. Yes. So yes. Hate leaving like a show just like I hate it. canceled. We have all these unanswered questions. I've been searching shows like we started we just started from, we're we're at almost at the end of season one of From.

Bright: To wrap up the story. So y yes. So yes, they literally like a show. I I I hate it. So all these unanswered questions. I've been searching shows. Like we started we just started from. we're we're at almost at the end of season one of From. we've we finished what was on HBO?

Duds Audio: Finished what was on HBO?

Bright: Where everybody is dead. two the two percent people disappear. I can't remember the name of it. But it has an ending. I goal! There it is. no, off the post! Goal! what the hell is going on? The referee called the goal. I don't know what the hell

Bright: Hovers and goal. They might they're gonna have to review this, man. it looked like it hit off the bar and then he shot it in again. Yeah, there I don't I think everybody's kinda like we don't know. Look, they're not leaving the ice.

Duds Audio: We don't really know. Yeah, what is that show? 'Cause I watched the first couple episodes of that. Where people were all taken out of their

Bright: Yeah, what is that show? 'Cause I watched the first couple episodes of that. Where people were all taken out of there and then the rest of the people were left. It's kinda like the leftovers. The leftovers. That's what it The leftovers, yeah, yeah. Which is really good. And it was three seasons and it had an ending. That hit off the post. He gets his own rebound and misses it. That's no that's no goal. How'd they call it a goal?

Duds Audio: And then the rest of the people were left. It's kinda like the leftovers. The leftovers. Yeah, is that the leftovers. Yeah, yeah. Which is really good. And it was three seasons and it had an ending. That hit off the post. He gets his own rebound and misses it. That's no that's no goal. No goal. How'd they call that a goal? no goal. Still zero zero. Unbelievable. All the listeners already know the outcome of this. Boom. man, that was close.

Bright: So zero zero. Unbelievable. All the listeners already know the outcome of this. Boom. man, that's close.

Duds Audio: Who called who called that a goal though? That was terrible. The ref did. The ref pointed. Sometimes it's tough to tell if it hits off like that middle bar, right?

I was gonna say watching that game, they controlled the game. Yeah. they controlled the ball the entire game. Yeah. Not the entire game. we had for the most part. They had the better chances. Did they only had one shot on goal? Did we own the possession in that game? I I think it would be I think it would be. I have to look it up.

Bright: We had possession, but they had the better chances. We only had one shot on goal and that was the luck. I I think it would be a lot I think it would be I have to look it up and I'll have it on the next City S C posse episode. I would be willing to bet that we'd have never off the post Are you kidding me? So they both scored, they hit the post, and then we hit the post. This is a mirror image of a game. This is insane. Look at this.

Duds Audio: City S C posse episode. I would be willing to bet that we did not. off the post! Are you kidding me? So they both scored, they hit the post, and then we hit the post. This is a mirror image. Who's gonna win this? This is insane. What happens if if you tie up on the shootouts? Well, there's no tie. Somebody's gonna They're gonna keep going.

Duds Audio: this guy from Japan probably you think so there we go we'll have the chance to win it here yeah I think the possession was probably closer than you think but we only had the one shot to me it just appeared though that Houston held the ball most of the time and they were the home team and it was a like but we we only had one shot on goal and it was a goal. It's all that matter the whole game. No way. On goal

Bright: Save. So we'll have we'll have the chance to win it here. yeah, I think the possession was probably closer than you think, but we only had the one shot it just appeared though that Houston had to They had the they had the run of play and they were the home team and it was like but we we only had one shot on goal and it was a goal. One shot the whole game. No way. On goal? We had other shot attempts, but only one on goal.

Duds Audio: We had other shot attempts, but only one on goal. Is that right? Yeah. And our gay our guy made six saves. Ben Lunt. Here we go for the win.

Bright: Yeah, and our gay our guy made six saves, Ben Lunt. Here we go for the win.

Duds Audio: I looked at so I was like, Man, how big is this guy? And I looked up the roster. He's like a hundred and thirty pounds. Yeah, he's small. He's like a little guy, dude. He's quick, he's fast. And I then I was like, look at all these other guys on the roster. Almost all of are like a hundred and sixty pounds or less. Yeah. That's just how it is with soccer, right? Did that go in? Nope. I don't think so.

Bright: Yeah, that's just how it is with soccer, right? Did that go in? Nope. I don't think so. Nope. Alright. Hofer kind of made like a a gesture where I thought maybe it snuck through his legs or something. Goalies are just like brick so. Yeah, smaller net for sure. So I kinda like like now we have the chance to win Dvorsky taking it out wide.

Duds Audio: Nope. Alright. Hofer kinda made a a gesture where I thought maybe it snuck through his legs or something. Goalies are just like brick walls back here. Well the goalies actually have the advantage in a shootout for hockey, which is the the opposite of soccer. Right. Right? so smaller net. Yeah, smaller net for sure. So I kinda like now we have the chance to win Dvorsky. Taking it out wide. come on, man. I know.

Bright: Come on, man. What's the I've never known this, I've never looked it up. In hockey, is there like a time limit on your penalty shot? No. does that work? I don't think so. You just can't you can't go backwards. You always have to be moving forward

Duds Audio: What's the I've never known this, I've never looked it up. In hockey, is there a time limit on your penalty shot? You have how does that work? I don't think so. You can't go backwards. You always have to be moving forward.

Bright: with the puck. So that's that's the only thing. You can go real slow. I only remember that because of like playing NHL ninety six. Yeah. If you ever try to go backwards, you lose the

Duds Audio: I only remember that because of like playing NHL ninety six on Sega. Uhhuh. If you ever try to go backwards you'd you'd lose the shot. Right.

Bright: That was that was he was trying to go five hole. you can you can see what he's trying to do. Yeah, and you look at the shot percentage here or the goal percentage, I think is that what that really should mean. It's only twenty three percent here for Bucineavich. So you're only scoring in one out of he had it, just couldn't get it high enough. good save by the goalie. Yeah, yeah. Couldn't get it up. Buchanovic. You heard it here first, guys and gals.
