Welcome to the riff session everybody. I can't dance my recorder is inferior to other recorders. They say it's his poor musician that blames his instrument but I'm blaming my instrument. It sounds like it's got my well like that was supposed to be owed to joy and it sounded like it was. It was. I recognized it. It's because of the rhythm but not because the lit listen those. That was me maintaining that that's the recorder. That part was me that was my fault. It's like never mind go ahead. Have you guys noticed that when the that when the snow starts to recede we've had snow here, Joanne, you have what? When the snow starts to recede there's just a lot of garbage on the road. Like the road did not look that. A people more a people more apt to litter when it's snowing outside. I don't understand how they get how bad it was when it's all pretty with snow. You think that's what I don't remember that much trash like laying around on the ground. You're saying there's a forgetfulness is like look at the beautiful snow and then it will melt you go. Oh yeah, that's what was happening before. It's that you forget what it was like beforehand is that what happens. Maybe but it's like when the snow was contending. That's what I'm saying to breathe. It's not it's not just garbage but it's like. Well he's saying. Oh, that wasn't there. It wasn't there when the snow fell down. Was it dirt? No. Where did this dirt come from? There's no dirt on the ground. I'm not I'm no science person but I tend to think there is dirt but I could be wrong. But you're not talking about regular trash like big gulp cups and wrappers. I'm talking about that too. I mean there's just debris on the on the ground. It's revealed. It wasn't there. Your certain it wasn't there before the. Well, it can't be certain but snow. Maybe glacier came through. They're known for leaving behind stuff. You cut it cut a valley through your neighborhood. And also brought. You know what happened to us yesterday evening or actually like really early this morning. A dude came in our house and sat down. A dude. Okay. So it's a it's dark. It's dark. It was a I don't know like a quarter of it was like like 530 in the morning. Yeah. Don't like. And Laurie wakes me up. Laurie like shakes me. And she goes. And so she wakes me up out of a sound sleep which I'm grateful that I was sleeping because I've had some insomnia and he's past few months. And so it's nice to be asleep. But she just wakes me up. And I don't have my hearing aids in because I can't you know I don't sleep with my hearing aids in. Right. And so she's going charge on some point. And she's going. I'm like what? And she goes there's a man in the living room. And I go a man and she goes yes. And so so I get up. Obviously. And it's dark. You just had to turn lights on or anything. But I can sort of see a silhouette of a guy sitting in on our on our couch. And he stands up and Laurie goes around and gets her headlamp. And she starts yelling something at the guy. And again, I haven't put my hearing aids in. I don't know exactly. I don't know what's being said. But he starts nodding. And then he heads for the door. And she's standing next to me on your birthday. And don't come back. And he goes, OK. And out he goes. But the dude was in our house sitting on our couch. And I don't know how long he'd been there. You know, I'd got up to use the bathroom like it for. He might have been there for I don't know. But Laurie. There's no explanation or nothing. Uh-uh. You've received no. You haven't seen this guy walk around the neighborhood like, hey, sorry about that. Got a little drunk and went to the wrong house. No, we don't live terribly far from the rescue mission and the homeless shelter. And so we get some traffic, you know, back and forth. We had a guy passed out in our yard a few years ago. You remember that, Luke? I do. That's a little different. I was going to say that. Yeah, quite a bit different than being in the house. Well, I would take 10 guys passed out in the yard versus one guy sitting on the couch in the middle of the night. All right. At least he left willingly. I don't know what you would do if he's just like no. Wait, go back. Because he'd have been leisure. Should you just, did you just come in and he left? I've already did you say something? I forgot. I didn't hear that part. I don't remember. Laurie, Laurie told him to leave. And so he did. And something was wrong with him, I think. I imagine. You don't have a name. You don't have a normal well functioning people just going into people's houses. Right. All I can sleep. So I think he, I think he fell asleep. And she heard him like muttering something. And so she thought it was me because it was dark. She was, she thought it was me having a stroke. And so. So she gets like real close to him. And she's like, can't understand what he's saying. Because she thinks it's me having a stroke. So she goes into the room where I sleep to see if that's me, to see if I'm in there. And when she sees me in there, she goes, well, then this is John here. So that other guy on the couch is not John having a stroke. And that was. That was when everything came together. How terrifying for you to not be able to hear or understand any of this. It is a little disconcerting. Yes. I thought you were going to say at the end that it was a dream you were having. But it's actually the room that he sleeps in is connected to the living room with no door. Like they were in the same room essentially. Right. Right. Me and the guy were. We're in there together. But still no explanation. Well, he was apparently not. He wasn't violent. I was grateful about that. I mean, there are so many ways this could have been really, really bad. But as it turns out, we just asked the man to leave and he left. And the police were called and they came and we think they found him. We were listening to the scanner and we think that they found him and took him. For observation at the hospital. Huh. Because it's dangerous for him to do that too. You know, I mean, it just so happened that. Well, I was going to say. He didn't go into somebody else's house in the neighborhood. They might have shot him. Well, I was going to say in the south it would have ended a little bit differently. Yeah. Do you want what a shot him? He would have stayed. Oh, I don't know if I would have given the benefit of letting him stand up. Is that right? What do you, a guy in your house is going to get shot? Is that the standard procedure? It's hard to say what your question. The only time I've ever gotten a gun out was somebody was we had. We had we were sleeping on the top floor. Then there was a ground floor. We had a basement. And somebody tried to get in the alarm was going off. And it would tell us where it was. So I was I went down in the basement. But they were lucky. Well, we think it was a kid because there's a bus stop near our house. And it was right about the time that kids got picked up for school. And we just think it was a kid that was trying to just board or something. But luckily I don't have any house. Why didn't have any bullets in it? I was like practicing with it. The day before I was practicing with it so I only had, there's a difference between defensive rounds and practice rounds. You don't want to shoot somebody with a practice round in your house. Well, it's because it could go through them and through the walls. And yeah, it could go like you want it to stop in them. I don't want to get this one. Get you flagged on a podcasting for sure if you try to put it. Anyway, I didn't have any. You don't want to appear. So I'm here. Yeah, I went down with an empty gun. So I was definitely not going to do anything. You could tell the gun at him. You could pistol whipping. Yeah, so I haven't been, I haven't been met with the actual situation, but you're right. I'm not sure maybe just blasting somebody away that was just sitting on your couch. That might have been, that might be too rash. Yeah. It's sort of hard to make up a good defense story if you seated while you blast him away. Right. This guy was sitting down and you just filled him with holes. Yeah, you know, especially if I shot him in the back, which is what. Oh, yeah, because he was leaving. That's right. Right. Yeah, terrifying. Okay. So I like the fact that Lori got her headlamp. You don't have a regular flashlight or anything. Well, we do, but those headlamps, those LED headlamps are pretty cool. Once you, once you wear one of those, it's hard to go back to a flashlight. Because it's like walking around with the sun on your forehead. Your hands are free. Yeah. Wasn't that the right thing? Light bar, right? It's like an X-Men. Yeah, it's like a body. It's super bright. It's super bright. It's a whole line of LEDs that wrap around the Jordy La Forge. Yeah. Yeah, it lights up. It lights up the night. You want? She goes out there and takes care of her chickens and the pitch blackness and... You know, people, she could do that during the daytime too. You can't put the chickens to bed at night. You can't do that. She just kind of put themselves to bed though. They sort of do. Does she put them to bed? Does she pick them up and... All of a sudden? She doesn't, she would, but she doesn't usually have to. When it gets dark, you know how chickens are. They go into the roost when it gets dark. Yeah. So you don't really have to put them to bed, they just... No, but she likes to, you know, go out and read them a story. Yeah, give them some hot chocolate and... Little pad on the head. Listen to their little chicken prayers. So is your door locked right now, John? It is. That's very good. I was actually before I came up here to do this podcast. I was down there working on the... We've got one of those digital locks with the code on it. And so I was down there figuring out how to make it auto lock. Oh. After a certain amount of time, it will automatically lock. So that's a new... It's a new way of operating at the branding household. You know, we didn't... You know, we don't usually lock our door. We have to lock our door. Is it because of the neighborhood? Or is this just a... It's because of the... It's because of the reckless. It's because of the reckless and careless. Yeah. I'm not careful. And we've never had a guy sit on our couch in the middle of the night before. And so... There was no precedent. I've never had anybody break into my house, but I still locked the door. So you were thinking, you know, until something happens, Mazel just keeps it unlocked. Yeah, pretty much. We've never locked our door. I don't even think that my door was locked. When I was a kid, I don't think my parents locked doors. They just... You know, just kind of trusted that no one was going to wander in the house. And it's up until last night, it has proven true. But... It's a good run. Yeah, we had a good run. Now... Now, how many people have got locks on their doors? How many people have faithfully locked their door their entire lives? And no one has ever tried to get in? Well, here's the thing that... Do you have a welcome mat in front of your door? Nope. Okay. Because that could be a big concern for someone to come and have a nice sit. We don't have a welcome mat because I don't want vampires. Come on in, everybody. Because the vampire can't come in unless you welcome him. That's true. You know. And is that true? No. Like, if you just put a welcome mat out, that's not applicable to everyone, obviously. I think you'd be applicable to the undead. I think you'd be surprised at what would hold up in court. Well, sir. You could get the vampire to show up in court. The mat clearly said welcome. Mm-hmm. Your honor. Your honor. Oh, maybe that guy was a vampire. Right. Anyway, that's all I have to share tonight. That's it. I was told I was B&E. I still don't. He was really just E. He didn't actually break. You're right. Anything, huh? Entering and sitting. Entering and sitting. What's the worst he could get for what he did, you think? What's the longest? Well, he would probably... I don't know. I mean, the jails and the legal system is so overrun with cases. I can't imagine that he'd do, you know, hard time for this. But we didn't push charges. No, I mean, the hard time. Yeah, I was wondering that's the thing. Like, if the judges threw the book at him. It's like, would it be community service? Would it be? I mean, I don't know. It's probably the title. I'm finding it maximum penalty for you. It's three days in jail. Whatever, for sitting on a couch on a couch. It probably depends on how long his rap sheet is, you know. Like, if he's got a history of going into a people's house. A terrible time-lapse thing. An Indiana. Sitting on their furniture, you know, in the middle of the night. If this is not his first offense, I guess, is that they would be a little more strict. But, you know, which one of us hasn't wandered into somebody else's house accidentally? I sat in other people's car before. But only the car. I got it in the car. I was mistaken. You know, done that. I have talked to, I have approached somebody from behind and said something to them. Thinking there was somebody that I knew and they turned around and it was somebody else. That's not altogether different from going into somebody's house and sitting on their couch in the middle of the night. I did that to a coworker. So I have, so we have cleaning ladies at the hospital, environmental services. And one of them was pregnant. And I approached one that looked similar from behind and asked about the pregnancy. And it was not her. Well, that was a... Did they understand the environmental services person understand? Yes. She said, that's so-and-so. And I said, you're right. And then I kept going. And I hastily left. That's a good, you bring up a good point because like when you get in as not you personally, but when a person gets into a weird like embarrassing situation, it really is better to just turn around and just leave. You make it worse. Like, I was just trying to, you know, and make it worse. Right. There's no justification. I just go. Okay. That's good. Good. Goodbye. I'm done talking. Well, especially if it's a person that you're not going to interact with them on a regular basis. You know, if it's a person that you may ever see again. Yeah. Do you, does that make you feel more free though? If you think this is a person I'm not going to talk to again. No, I see a person like every day. Oh, yeah. They just, they look similar from behind. That's all. I'm not sure about it. But it's like, you know, I don't know. What's that crime? No. Would it be insulting for you to have said that though? Or like you're like, oh, you look just like Jessica and like, oh, Jessica. I was embarrassed. I don't know how much she actually cared. Oh, that's yeah. That is another thing. I take stuff. Uh, you like I make stuff up in my head where nobody actually cares. I don't like. I think this is the worst thing. and pointed. At least the mistake was from behind. That's another thing. Yeah, like it wasn't from in front where you're like. Yeah. Oh, I should have tried to clear it up. I was like, oh, I'm sorry. You look pregnant from behind. That's what I should. Yeah. Right. It's like the being like a like the back of a pregnant woman. Yeah. That probably would look basically the same. What are you doing with the motorcycle? My son left a toy in here and I'm playing with it. You cannot. You cannot accidentally think that a woman. You can't ask a woman about a pregnancy when she's not pregnant. There's just no way to do that without without setting them. Even if it's an accident, they're still going to be. They're still going to be a little haunt. Yeah. Is there any. What exactly did you say again? You just thought she was like, or you said, hey, when's the when's the baby do or something? Or what was the actual sentence? I go all of these amasses because I wonder if there was a way to slyly. I think I said something like you've got to be close now, right? Or something like that. Oh, right. So you could have turned it into anything. Yeah. And there you close to your anniversary. I met. Yeah. Yeah. See. You could have closed the end of shift, right? All right. Well, see, that's it. If you if you are vague enough, the worst thing to do is mention specifically pregnancy and some even even if she is pregnant, you know, a lot of women are upset if they even they are pregnant. If somebody notices. I know, but this is something to do is just not even mention it. But I knew they were pregnant and we had talked about it before. And I thought we were re-engaging the subject, but it was not her. See, I think your mistake is assuming that it's okay to reengage with that same subject at a later date. Do you think there's a little bit of it walking around? Do you think there's a pregnant lady walk around somewhere going, nobody cares about my pregnancy? I was asked about my probably. It's possible to make them happy. They're going to be upset about something. But the safest thing to do is to is to not is to be very vague. Hey, how's it going? And then they will tell you, you know, whatever the thing is that's on their mind. So, you know, is it everything okay? Right. And then they'll go, oh, the doctor says the baby's going to blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, okay. Ah, the baby. Right. I didn't even notice you probably. Yeah, that's even better. What? You're pregnant? You're getting out of here. You can't be. That's crazy. You can't be pregnant. You look like a normal person. That is full of good advice. Locker doors. Locker doors. Too late. Don't mention babies. Never mention babies. Call the police if a man sits on your couch in the middle of the night. So far, we've dispensed a lot of wisdom. Enjoy those bed bugs. You think he's got that was what Lori said to you. We're ready to have to check that. Oh my gosh. I didn't even think about that stuff. You have to delouse your couch now. I don't know. I don't know how to how do you delouse a couch? I don't know. I guess you burn it. Huh? Yeah. I'll probably have to take it outside first. He pick up other things. Other kinds of louses. Other. Other lease. I don't know. I'm not looking at it. I think life is the plural as well as the. Is it? Yeah. So when you delouse, you're only getting one of one. You're getting rid of one thing. Um, delousing your house zeros in on one particular insect. Yes. The alpha. When you get the alpha louse, the rest will be helpful. They they disperse. I get the once you get the alpha louse. Yeah. We got to do a later. What do they have? Heard or packs of pack of louse? Pack of lice. Heard heard a louse. A herd of louse. A flock of louse. Look there. Ten on the hillside. Look there on the hillside. Look at the run. I'm floccable. Protect the nits. I heard. So what's on your mind, Joanne? Oh, I have one. But I was trying to find. I have a list of I was keeping a list of weird words and I can't find them. Now it's weird. That's that's also weird. You lost your list of words. Yeah. We're. Did we have a road down? I think I wrote down a band name from last week that we've made up. Well, we didn't say, Hey, this is a band name. We said something that was that you thought would be a band name. Are you going to have a house? Alpha louse. That's awesome. Alpha louse is a great name. Did we say a great name for a band? It's a great title for a human being too. I'm alpha louse. I'm alpha louse. Children. What did a did we talk about flat hamsters? Cause that was that's the last one I have written down. No. I got one. That was cookies found under the rug. We didn't talk about hamsters at all. Okay. I have a flat hamster story and my daughter got like this little stuffed animal. It was a bean bag. But it was like we had little ears on it. So it was it was it wasn't shaped like a hamster. It was shaped like a bean bag. But it had hamster features like a ears. And the hamster was square. Right. Well, it reminded me because my brother and I had hamsters once. And we were playing with them on the floor. And I got mine and put mine away in the cage. And then I looked down and he goes, where's my hamster? And I go, he were playing with them. It's like, I know I just looked over here for a second and he's gone. I'm like, well, yeah, you're supposed to keep your eye on him. So we were frankly looking everywhere. And we had this my dad built this toy box. It looked like a bench. And the top of the top of it would open up and you kept all the toys on the side. And it had a backing on it. Well, fit perfectly into our closet. So I pulled back on the back. There's the back part of it. And I pulled it up to look behind it. Because I thought he might have crawled back there. And I didn't see him. So we kept looking. And I don't know if you do this. I always go over everything toy. So I'm like, when I'm lost something, I'll go, well, maybe I didn't look at it right. So I pulled it back again and I found him. But he was about this big around. About about that. What happened was I pulled it back and he crawled underneath while I was looking and then I let it down and crushed him. You crushed him. So yeah. So was it pretty gory, right? I mean, there was it didn't have any guts or anything. I don't know how he expanded and kept everything internal. So he was all of his internal, all of us innards were just spread around inside. I guess I don't know if you try to reinflate him. That would have probably, it might have worked. I didn't try it. I just assumed the worst. So later that probably a safe assumption later that day we'd buried him in a CD case. We didn't have anything. So that's I don't know if that was because I was telling my kid that story, but that's the flat hamsters. I was a band name. Did your brother quickly forgive you or was there some animosity? I don't remember him being that sad. I think he think we both thought it was kind of about the hamster anyway. That's why I wandered off in the first place. He was I mean, it was just the way that he wanted to play Frisbee with him for a little bit before we buried him. The slamster. We were a story with a lizard. That's a similar story with a lizard. I think I told you about that. Yeah, that's what I was thinking of with the rug, right? I was a lizard that my uncle brought my brother and I each a little just a little lizard. It wasn't one of those outbursts was time. My mom was not super happy about it, but we took him home. We got him home and we went to open them. They were in like little terrarium. So we went to take the lid off and I went to reach for him and he just just disappeared. I mean, he was just he was there one second next minute. He was gone. That's how fast they are. My brothers, they both disappeared. My brothers went up into the Christmas tree. We saw him like skitter across the carpet and go open the Christmas tree. Well, you can't find a green lizard in a Christmas tree. That's not going to happen. We looked at the lizards can change color too, right? Depending on him. Yeah. I looked at him. I couldn't find it. So when the when Christmas is over, we took the tree out to the curb and threw it away. It was cold and we're like, well, this lizard's not going to make it. We never did find mine until years later, years later, we were in high school. And for some reason we rolled up the carpet the area road and we found that lizard. And he was paper thin, perfectly. It was a perfect outline. He looked just like the lizard, but he was just, you know, a millionth of an inch thick. And all dried up. Can you hold him up to the light? Like, could you see light through it? You could. He was he was translucent at that point. Good. Bile brother. I was going to use him as a bookmark. You got to laminate this thing. But he was he was just too. I mean, he literally just broke up into dust when I went to pick it up. So. No, that would be a nice little keepsake. My brother went off speaking of speaking of dead, dried animals. My brother went off to college and left a snake. The whole time my brother was in junior high and high school. He would like to find snakes and bring them into his room. So we have several aquariums that had snakes in them. Well, he thought we thought that he left them all go when he went. Left the house after he graduated his senior year went to college. We thought that he had released them all, but there was one snake that. That did not get released. And so we were my friend and I were in his room. I don't remember why we went to David's room. We were looking around and my friend Jeff goes, hey, there's a snake in here. And by golly, he lifted it out and it had coiled up like around the rock or something and died. And so it so when he lifted it out, it was still coiled up, but it was all dried up. It's a dead man, it's a coil. It maintained its shape. And it was dehydrated. And so we said, what are we going to do with this snake and Tim or Jeff decided he was going to send it to his girlfriend, Mary. And I said, what's she going to do with it? And he goes, I don't know. Maybe she could wear it as a bracelet. And so it's a pretty good idea. So we put it in a little box and we wrote on the outside of the box, handle with care contains dehydrated snake. And we thought we thought that was hilarious because it was such a random thing to write on the outside. And she would go, all those guys are such kidders. And she opens it up and there's actually a dehydrated snake in the box. What were we doing? Do you think we were lying to you about that? You talk about some, you talk about sentences that have never been uttered before that I think that's that's one of them. Caught you dehydrated snake. Oh, so my thing. What did I even, what even got it? Oh, that was flat hamsters. Dead pets. Which what's funny, don't people say that? And like a thing when people try to stop laughing, they're trying to get serious. They'll say like, dead pets or dead puppies, dead puppies trying to get themselves serious. Anyway, I don't know if you all know that. Does that work? I don't know that it just means they're trying to think of something sad in order to, uh, anyway. What I've written down is, uh, when I was, I don't know how old I was. This is the dawn of the internet. And I remember when we used to search through, uh, when we would, when internet searching was first a thing. And there's a thing called, you had to learn, you had to be kind of pretty good at coding. I mean, like halfway good because you had to think all the Boolean operator, which was a holdover from like when, do you remember before the internet, we'd have to search for books that had computers and the libraries that you would search for a book. The car catalog was digitized or something. So you'd have to write, uh, Moby and Dick. And that would, that would help you figure out that you're looking for Moby Dick, not a book about, uh, independent electronic dance musician. So, Moby was, anyway. So that's how the internet was when you first started. But what I wrote down was like, like how AI helps us cut through the slot of the slot that is internet searching. So we, like, that was the thing too. What was, um, I don't even know what I was saying now. But like, when, when they changed Google, then you have to ask as actual question. So I, when we were first, we would just write one word and you could find, you know, what you were looking for. Like if you were looking for cake, you know, you're just typing cake and bring up the cake.com was probably the top. You know, this is an AskJeeves.com. That time. But now it's like AI, you have to like have a conversation with it. Yeah, it's like, uh, yeah. Well, the, yeah, the original, like early days of the internet, there wasn't even browsers. That was what net scape was was a thing that was like an interface over the top of that would let you see the internal. Yeah. So that you would, so you didn't have to type all of those long heinous addresses and commands. But, but search engines. Yeah, they were, they were not super helpful because, because you would type, like you said words and you would type the word cake in. And you would get just these, this long list of web pages that had some reference to cake, but it didn't tell you. Like if you were looking for recipes for cake, it would give you, it wouldn't give you that. It would just give you whatever. The type that said the word cake. Yeah, it might be your own cakes. You know, it might be cake makeup and maybe a piece of cake. Right. Any reference to that word would have made the list and they weren't really sorted or organized in any particular way. So it's kind of like, yeah, we're, we're actually fine. What you're looking for now. I think I remember what I was thinking in the past when you try to look up information, you'd go to a library, pick out a book and read the book. And now AI, all you do is ask a question and it gives you a book's worth of information to sort through. That's probably not correct. That's my favorite. It's like the, at least the AI I have worked like chat GPT is, it's like a nervous friend. It was like one of those friends. Like if you had four buddies, three of them would get along pretty good. And the other one would try really hard to fit in. That's chat GPT. They were like, tell you lies and stuff like, my uncle was in World War II and you're like, dude, your uncle's like 40. Yeah. Right. That's an old. A chat GPT is is wrong. A large percentage of the time. It's not even even with simple things, even with simple, simple things that should be able to like I just ask it how to program the lock thing on my door. You know, because I got electronic, I told you I had a guy break in, right? So I'm, so I'm messing around with the door lock. And I'm like, I'm just going to ask chat GPT. Surely this is not that hard. Oh my gosh. It was just wrong about everything. And so I finally went to the website where of the lock manufacturer and downloaded the manual and I could have done that in three minutes instead of spending 30 minutes. I was like, trusting chat GPT to do the research for me. It's just wrong about everything. Well, how did you solve your program? Well, how do you, how do you program it? Well, maybe you don't want to say that on the internet. Maybe we should do that. All you got to do is hold the zero and one button down and it regresses. Here's the code you need to put in to override everything. All zeros. Yeah. Well, it's the thing is that the sequences were wrong. Like it was telling me, you know, the order of sequences to push buttons. And it was just wrong about that. And I used it to help me try to get my new modem and Wi-Fi setup and going. And it was telling me information for a different model than what I had. You know, I specifically told it the model. Me a while to figure out that it was lost. Yeah, telling you. Well, how mad can you get it? Chat chat GPT and it, uh, because it usually apologized right even ago. No, that's not right. Oh, yeah, you're right. I'm sorry about that. Like if you're like you blanky blank, why don't you it won't ever snap back at it. I'm sure of that. No, I don't have you ever had a full fuselage. Yeah, just like, hey, I need you to respond as like this, uh, really. Oh no, you're, yeah, I need you to respond in kind. So if I yell at you, you need to deal with me back. We'll do that. I know. I can all. The thing is, the thing is it doesn't do any good to be angry with it and yell at it. I mean, but that's the instinct. That's what that's what you want to do, especially when you've gone back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and after an hour. It turns out it was completely wrong about everything from the very start. And you just want to yell at it. But it doesn't it doesn't fix anything. It doesn't. It doesn't. It's not ashamed of itself. It doesn't. Oh, you're right. I will need to be more careful now. It doesn't. It doesn't do any of that. Is that what we're missing? Because is that why we're going to head towards the singularity and all the robots are going to take over the world is because we have not programmed AI to feel shame? No. Oh, that's fair. I mean, that may be why. But you can't ask that of chat GPT. You can't be like, have you no shame? You can't ask it a chat GPT because most people don't know how to feel shame. Have you no shame? That's a pinch. He said that because that's the pins. What am I being accused of? I'll ask. I'll ask. This is but wait, this is a pretty good way to kind of learn how to deal with people though. Somebody's like mad at you. I got to know where I say have you no shame. And he's like, you know, whatever, whatever it is, you know, I'm here to help. I'm just asking. I just said, have you no shame? And we'll see. I traded it for processing speed and a decent sense of timing. You've been just because you've been doing like comedy stuff on your. I've been asking about. Here's my maybe I should go down my chat GPT searches with you guys instead of. You should tell it that you once smashed the hamster and that you'd like to turn yourself in. See if I can guide you on how to do that. How to do my thing is we were looking at my kids are at a certain age where they can't just watch. Man, you aren't going to work, John. Can you hear it? You know, seeing it's all mighty or he's answering prayers or discussing how you give wrong answers and feel no remorse for doing so. And it says fair. Let me answer that fair. I was like, no, I need to get from you. So as I don't feel remorse because I don't have feelings. I don't know when I'm wrong in the way a person does. I generate answers based on patterns and probabilities. Sometimes those probabilities are off. That's not like a sociopath. It says that's not a defense. It's an explanation. So it just told me it's not a defense. It totally is a defense. That's going to make my brain hurt. Because you can't you can't get away with that if you're arguing with your wife. You can't be like, that's not a defense. That's not a defense. It's just an explanation. It's an explanation. Shut up. Make an excuse. I'm just explaining. I just want you to know how it is. I don't want you to I don't want you to explain. That's a weird. Not going to take any ownership for this. No, not at all. You know, shame doesn't help. No, I can't. It does say not even a little bit. I said, do you have you no shame? And it said, no, I have none. Because I have no remorse because I have no feelings. It was very matter of fact about that. It doesn't have any shame. Okay. Great. Well, I've been searching for beginner recorder tabs. And what was the other one? Oh, my kids are at the age where they can't watch just kids movie. They don't want to watch kids movies anymore. Some nights will have like an nostalgia night and watch like toy store like the first one or something. But I kind of forced them to do that. And then we watched a. I can't remember now. So I was trying to look at a like at a list of they like Christopher Nolan, like, you know, dark night and all that stuff. I go. So that's that was the teen friendly Nolan style movies. And we pretty much watched most of these like interstellar the prestige. And arrival was good. Arrival is good. Is that Nolan? No, it was. That's didn't even you. The new. You do. And they like to do to the new dude. I liked it actually. Anyway, that's what I've been searching for on the old. The old chat. What about tenant? Yeah, we saw that. It's good movie. It's trippy. I mean, I was. Somebody I was. Yeah, somebody I was talking to was like, I didn't understand it. I was like, I didn't want to explain it. It's a not a. It's not really a. I mean, you could give the premise away. Like you could say some people. They're living. Nope, you can't. I can't even explain it. No, you can. Somehow they've learned how to reverse time. So some people are living backwards through time. Certainly. That's right, right? Yes. Yes. The timelines are overlapped and some people are going backwards when other people are going forwards. Time. But it's so. It doesn't hold up. I mean, it doesn't. You know, I get. Well, it's too smart for it. Yeah. The. Okay. This is the. The. I don't know what you call it. The by line or something for arm with only the word tenant and fighting for the survival of the entire world. The entire world. CIA operative. The protagonist. Journey through a twilight world of international edge of the global mission that unfolds beyond real time. That doesn't really make you want to see it though. Does it? That just sounds like a regular spy movie. And it's not regular. It's not. I remember it being fast paced. It was a long movie, but it also the pacing was quick. Like, are you. Really kind of guys, when you all are watching a movie you try to figure it out while you're watching it. Mm-hmm. Like what? What's happening? Okay. I don't like, I don't do that. To me it takes me out of the movie to go. Well, because I had a friend that watched the village and he didn't like the village because then I figured out in the first five minutes. I go, that's not the point of the movie. But the point of the movie is like themes of courage and love and, um, and innocence and those kind of things. And yeah, you kind of, it doesn't look, it's not convincing, but then there is a moment of, is it or is it not, but anyway, I don't like, I'm not that person. Melody can figure stuff out, but I kind of get lost in the movie, don't try to figure out the plot. Just like, just take me on a journey man. Jesus. Do you watch John, do you watch like mysteries or anything? I don't know. Oh, no. Yeah. What Mandy will do is I'll read a book. And then Mandy will like, did you catch this symbolism and this meaning and this and this? And I'm like, I caught none of that. You're like, I read the book. Right. Yeah, I tried to enjoy myself. I wasn't, it was like, that's kind of like, there's a, there's a movie called Primer. Have you ever seen that? They, the, the, the, the, from a friend of mine. I'm a judge of it. Primer. It's, it's, it's out of the way. Christian movies. No, but it is low budget. It is super low. You've seen, have you seen it, Luke? Yeah. I didn't understand Primer at all. And so this friend of mine gave it to me and he goes, here's a movie that I think you'll like. We tried to watch it the other day and we didn't understand it, but we think you'll like it. And so he gave it to me because apparently Peg may for this like weird or nerd. Yeah. The description on IMDB is the worst because it doesn't, four friends fledgling our entrepreneurs knowing that there's something bigger and more innovative than the different error checking devices they've built, wrestle over their new invention. Oh, yeah, that was basically, not basically these guys build a time machine or garage. Well, that wouldn't make a better thing to say something than that effect or. Mm hmm. Right. Or their invention has more to it than they think or something. Well, but the thing is and you're like, OK, well, this could be, this could be cool. And so you start watching it, but I'm telling you what, the, the, there are so many timelines that keep overlapping. And you don't realize who you don't realize it until they start. I mean, you're aware of some of them, but not all of them. And so things start to happen and it makes no sense. You're like, I don't understand why what is happening. Yeah, I don't understand what's going on. And then at the very, very end, there's some reveals his own grandfather. Sort of how it's, it's not quite like that, but it's, but it turns out some other guys, one of the guys is using the machine without the other one's knowledge. And so, so they keep going, but you can't, you can't interact with yourself when you go back in time. And so that's what's happening. So like going back in time, but they have to, they have to set it up so that they don't run into themselves in the other timeline. Right. And again, I'm explaining it and you're like, well, it still sounds cool. It's the most confusing. Yes. Before we talk about it, you're like, I have to go back and reassure you that this is a crappy movie. It's like, I know it sounds cool. I know you're getting tempted to want to watch this, but it is crap. I watched it twice because the first time I was like, surely I must have missed something. That's why I went back to watch it. I don't like it. Nope, I still don't get it. I've seen it twice now and I didn't understand it either time. Is that one of those movies where people pretend that they get it? Oh, just to make themselves seem intellectual. No one does, but a lot of people pretend. You got to understand it's about perspective, John. That's why you didn't like this movie. So you're agonizing over cereal the next day going, there's something. It's got to be, it's got to be a good movie. It can't be a crappy movie. It can't be the movie. Maybe it's I miss something. It's got to be me. It's got a lot of life. I have to be the problem where you've had the second time you watch it or where you just like, OK, that settles it. I wasn't mad. I just gave up. OK, this is this is a movie that I'm just not going to understand. And I'm way how far and do it the second time did you get? I didn't make it all the way through. We're like 45 minutes and go, it's the movie. It's it's the movie. OK, well, I think what I did was like what I did was like I went online and I found a primer primer. And there was actually websites dedicated to explaining primer and I found a timeline. Somebody had mapped out the timeline. And it's just. It's still that is a mess. Yeah. It doesn't even looking at the timeline map. I could not make a detail of the thing. And so I've already failed review. If at the end, it doesn't come together for you. When you said low budget, it cost $7,000. Yeah. And it made $500,000. That's how you make movies, by the way. Yeah. Spend a couple grand and make. That's the best investment ever. I applauded their effort. I applauded the project. I just wish that it had been a little less convoluted. What's its rating? Like what's its audience score? I'm looking for the yeah, the critic score and all that. But I'm like, I think maybe they've hidden it. It didn't ever get a lot of distribution. I mean, I don't think it went to theaters. Oh, you know what? There's got to be an IMDB score. They don't know. That's what you're talking about. 6.7. What? It's 10. It's a fresh look at the sci-fi sub-zonera of time travel. Says, asset, B, Feteen. Yeah. Anyway, I'm sure that's an incredible, says Chrissy from Atlanta. Yeah, those are people that just want everybody to think they're smart. Can somebody said confusing, but still giving it five stars? Yeah. I mean, I like to be scratching my head with absolutely no idea what I just watched at the end of the movie. Yeah, that could be a whole genre just confusing. This review says, huh? Game of 6.5 stars. What? What? I do like that. Did you have a John Rosy time cop? Evidently, you can't cut yourself or you turn into a big bloody puddle. Yeah. Well, a bad guy that touches himself. No, that's not a good thing to say. The bad guy gets thrown into the past version of himself and that kind of degenerates into a puddle of blood, basically. Right. Yeah. But what in this movie though, could you, was it just like unravel the what's the continuum, based on continuum, if you saw yourself or do they even say what the stakes were? I do not remember. I remember there were that they were concerned about about colliding, you know, with their finding themselves in the time. And then, but there again, there's so many different, there's so many different timelines going on that you're not aware of. And so it turns out that this one guy is actually using a machine and doing stuff without his partner's knowledge. And so, so he's actually, he's actually breaking the rules. So he's the antagonist sort of, yeah. Wow, you're going to, this is going to blow your mind. The director, the writer and the star, all the same person. Oh, I knew that. I knew that. It didn't improve for me. This guy is the writer and the director. I have to see this. You could probably find it on, oh, he was in the diamond series. You might remember him as additional crew from Divergent. Oh, I guess that's, that's the guy that like straightens the lighting umbrella was inception Christopher Nolan. Yeah, yes. Okay. Was that a confusing one for you? That one. No, I could kind of, I could kind of keep up with inception. Okay. They did a pretty good job of explaining what they were doing. All right. Okay. I'm not sure what the ending meant with the spinning top that never shows like what's it called the lady in the tiger story kind of things where you, you kind of decide what the ending is. But they're leaning towards it was the real thing because it wobbles a little at the end. So he was dreaming. It was his, they say, they say token or total. I can't remember. But anyway, but was there a, the jolars, I haven't seen knives out. I know everybody talked about that. Oh, I'm trying to think of a mystery. I like that one. That everybody's seen. I think my best. I think my best. Okay. Was that a mystery? That's a mystery movie like a murder mystery. Yeah. Mm. Okay. Was it hard to figure out or was it like a, like, are you thinking when you're watching knives out, are you thinking I wonder everybody thinks I wonder who did it? You're following the detective as he goes and interviews right people. Yeah. So it's unfolding like a poor row. Mm hmm. Have you watched six, six, six, six, since what your kids have they seen that? I've seen it. Okay. Jesse, I'm sorry. Anybody who's listening. I'm doing a spoiler. Well, during Halloween, we would watch, like, so expensive, we don't like horror movies, but we would watch like kind of creepy movies or whatever, but we were watching six cents and we just started it and Jesse walks on the bus and he's watching the kid talk to Bruce Willis and he goes, is he dead? I'm like, what? What? Is that guy that? What? What? I don't know. No, he has this. He's done it a couple of other times, but they're really nerdy. So I don't know if you all would get him. There's a second, the second season of the Mandalorian, they're on his spaceship and the bad robots are coming in to get him and the slate. One of the ladies goes, there's an inbound X-wing and I don't think anything of it. And they're like, great, we're saved or something like that. Something psychastic. And Jesse goes, it's Luke Skywalker and I went, what? How did you sit? And once you don't see him at all, but you just see his lightsaber light up and once I saw that green lightsaber, I went, how did you know that he goes, you know, it's around the same time and it's X-wing and I just went, huh? That's not enough information. How are you driving this? How do you know that Bruce Willis is dead? He said it was something about the way he was talking to him or the way that people were acting or in the background. What? So he didn't even see the opening scene of him getting shot. They missed all of it. It was after that. It was like when he met the kid, he was talking to him and stuff and, wow. So have your kids seen it, Luke? We watched the sixth sense with Cammy, our oldest, when the others were away doing something. What did she say? Yeah, we've done that before, like the older kid because you don't. Yeah. Kind of a special thing for them. What did she say about it? She liked it. She certainly did not call the ending. She was a surprisedist. Okay. You would hope. Good. Because that's what you want them to have a nice experience, not figuring out the first five freaking minutes. I'm sorry. You might have to rub them back. That's the point. No, no, but I mean, that's the point of watching the movie is to have that whatever evoked, that feeling of surprise or, I don't know, it just makes it memorable. So maybe that's one of my sons is cynic. He's too smart. He's too smart. Why don't you go back? Once you see what's going on, then you want to go back and watch it again and go, okay. I'm going to, you know, I must have figured this out this time. I must have missed something. Yeah. I'm going to get in the second grade over again. You know, all the answers. So that was not really a point to it. Anyway, he's a little too. Melody's kind of like that too. She'll figure stuff out or she goes, oh, I'd be like, man, that's crazy. And she's like, oh, you didn't see that coming. I'm like, oh, I like to get lost in the movie. I don't want to get lost in the story. I like to enjoy movies. I like to ruin them. Yeah. So I don't know if you guys are like the ones that like to figure it out, but I don't even put the effort in. I just like to kind of catch the wave. If it's a good movie, you know, you get lost in the world. No, it's not. Well, the sixth sense, I didn't know. I didn't know anything about it when we watched it the first time. I didn't know that there was a twist or anything like that. But after we saw it, then we saw that movie. We were at college. We were on the campus and we took it around all of our friends. It's like, you've got to see this movie. Did everybody react the same or did you have one person that was like, oh, like 30 minutes in? No, we didn't have anybody that figured it out. Even nobody figured it out. In the hospital scene, you know, which is that M like Shyamalan said that he was sure that that was going to give it away where they're in the hospital. The kids saying, I see dead people. They don't know their dead, you know, they can see each other. I mean, you basically, that's what everything is going on. That's what I was just see. That's when he walked in. I remember now. That was the scene. He goes, is he dead? And I went, what? That's why is he saying that to? Right. Yeah. Great. That's what the director thought. He thought that it was going to give the whole thing away. Most people don't pick up on it. Most people, yeah. Dummies like me. I didn't pick up on it. Smart as my wife. Our Gancy's joke about the sixth sense is so good. Wait, what did he say? I don't know that. He basically like, it's so believable that a couple would go a whole movie without talking to each other. We don't know. We just buy it. Yeah. You don't doubt it for a second. All right. Well, I'm out of my stuff. That was it. Just wrote down the one thing about searching. Yeah. Do you have anything, Luke? Or do you have a second buy? I had a, I had a third. Are you going to do a cliffhanger? No. I had a thought about it. When somebody tries to reassure me and say that, you know, what you're doing your best, like that's not comforting to me because that's a phrase that's only ever used when someone's failing. Well, you did your best. It's like, okay, a failure has happened for you to be saying. Oh, really? I couldn't do better than falling on my face. That was the best I could do. I was. I do well. They tell you that was great or that was awesome. Right. Yeah. Well, if you don't bad though, the effort was input. What mean if they do, if you do bad though, do you really want people saying you can't, you can do better. You can do better than this. Well, I already know it. Like the whole idea that I did my best, I don't believe anyway. It's like, I don't think I've ever done my best best ever. Well, it's also the implication is that your best is utter failure, right? That's true. The very best that you could do is not succeed. That's the other layer of that onion. That was the best you could do. That does sound like a dig. Yeah. Think about it. That's an insult. Yeah, shut up. Yeah, shut up. The measure of success is just effort put in is making an attempt that counts as something. If you want to encourage somebody, though, now you got me, that's like on that logic, it's like, how do you help somebody? If you want them to try again, you can't tell them you did your best because then they won't want to, right? That what that means basically is to give up, but feel happy about it. You should feel happy that although you failed, that was the best effort you could have possibly done. Right. That loser pathetic effort. I know you tried to slam dunk that basketball and you broke both your legs, but that was your best. You failed the attempt, but you didn't fail yourself. See, that actually sounds good. That actually sounds like a Victorian or Edwardian, something, something, you know, Charles Spurgeon would say. It's the slurry. Right. You play basketball. You play basketball. Spurgeon. That's a person who is encouraged by that kind of stuff. Then man, you kind of are a loser, right? You have friends? Well, for me, it's like, it's a good excuse for a lazy person because like you don't, you don't actually want to accomplish anything, but you do want somebody saying, well, you did your best. You're like, well, that's a good reason to quit. I think I'm going to lay back and relax. It's time to take a break because I did my best. Making an attempt is good enough. Right. And how could another person possibly know what you did your best? You can't, only the person who's doing it can know the effort they put in. That's the proper response when somebody does what you did your best. It's like, you have no idea what you're talking about. You do. Right. Know that. I'm still hungover. What are you talking about? I'm going to do it. So what's that? I'm trying to give an alternative. Like if they did bad. Like someone's trying to jump over a wall. I don't like to do the slamming of the wall. Would you say something like go higher? Well, that would be better. Jump from the hips. All right. Yeah. Over might be better than through. Use your hammies. I'm in a very specific situation, Joel. Okay. You're right. Yeah. We want to, we need something more generic. I did like, I heard somebody say, like go about Adam Sandler, somebody, you look, I just bombed and I was coming off and I'm saying I was like, hey, that was a big swing pal. That was a good swing. You swung really big. I got it. So it's that sounds good, but it's still like, yeah, you failed. You know when people start listing things that you didn't do, you know, you didn't fall down or nobody was hurt or there's no one. It's like, it's always next year. Yeah. People start grasping at all of the things that he did for a killer back to life. So that's that. That's right. Hey, look, the earth is still spinning. Sun's coming up tomorrow. Your effort didn't, you didn't accidentally kill your own mom. No, you didn't destroy the solar system. I mean, are you going to be grateful or what? Yeah. You didn't unravel the space time continuum. No, you didn't make a movie about time travel. Nobody understands. All right. Goodbye, everybody.
