You've changed to where you just want to start everything to show up with a nonsensical weird question. What do you like to take that? I do really I see why I ask you just come on to, yeah you don't even think about.

no, I can't stand take .

about I shave in the bath.

but then all that stuff .

goes in the not a full bath, the bathtub empty while i'm shaving and then I wash everything there and then clean .

myself and wait so you're sitting in the bathtub with no water in IT. No, no one or completely naked bathtub. And you say naked sitting there.

the back tub has A A hand of thing. Yes, so have that going. And then I shave, and I shave my head and shave my face, and then I used the hand thing to clean up the razor. And then once that it's all down the drain, then I take a back and get clean.

See, that's why people should not take back because it's not like you get clean. It's like like you're sitting in your own stuff. Do you have like, like little hair like like the next day?

Or like you shit down the drain? There's a drain there. Once you open the drain, everything that's in the the bath and leaves goes right out.

a little bit warmer or and .

then IT has all the soap. And so you just like sit there for fifteen minutes and go and then you're clean.

Wait to IT you said, I like a jet cockpit.

Yes, just just make sense. alright.

So here are some things that are coming up. Here are five things that you know about. There's happening in the tech world right now. We actually rote about this in our newsletter. The current you know the current is entering towards six hundred thousand subscribers.

And how long I .

five years like oh, no, it'll be two years in march two years. okay. I mean, so we're still in .

the one and a half.

One, three, a taller baby were in dies. All right, I hate to start things out with sad news because you know me, I am always happy.

always I me unless you're not.

which is not a lot of the time. Um so there's a seventy nine year old guy in new york. Then he is convinced that he is going to marry the W W E rustler alex bliss.

how old is he?

Seventy nine?

Or dude, I going to see what like a boss.

the story you look at up. yeah. Ah, he has given alexa bliss, the scammer, nearly one million dollars. They have drained god. They've drained all his retirement savings. They even drained his granddaughter's college fund for five twenty nine account a the satisfaction that when the sun got, got wind of all this, and he went into his father's account and got, got one hundred thousand dollars and said, I don't know what that you can give a hundred thousand dollars, and we need to save something and you this is a total scape and you don't need to be doing this um is the seventy nine romance sued his son because money back to get one hundred thousand dollars and give IT to the scammer yep. He gave IT to the scammer and then he, so he is own his son, took him out the will and everything and now they are not talking of breaking which he looks like, I don't know, looks like oh so .

hot of course.

if you're seventy nine yeah and how old is he? Thirty ah yes, I would guess. Okay, some thirty OK some thirty three old hot blond rustler wants to marry you and needs your money in order to marry you. Um pretty safe bet. Sm.

she's married to the lead singer of rubik groove.

Never heard him.

This cover .

here might be Better for the seventy nine year old.

He was loaded. I've never heard a room, room.

heard a room. Q anything like that? Not sure that said that heart .

breaking first is breaking up families. yes. And you think the scammer would just take a little bit and then leave? No, but they don't. Once they find a mark, they just keep going and going and going and going.

They get the million dollars. They get the kids college fun, grandchildren's college one. And then the last hundred thousand dollars that the sun was able to save and put into a different account, they got that too.

And now he's not talking to his son. And the son is like, I don't know what this is, not my father. He's broke.

He's broke. And the crazing IT is very hard working. All right, have you ever asked, uh, an A I chat bought a medical question? No, you are really .

more writing and pictures, but never never advice at all. You've never really no, I actually .

know that's not true.

I'm going to take a vacation at the end of december about the way I need some time off. I'm going .

to take .

a deviation december. We do that. I was the thing I didn't know. We didn't know where to go, got four days and we're going to fly anywhere. And so we just pick some places. And then they went to ChatGPT and I said, give me an ita rare for four days in this spot in four days in the spot t and four days in this spot t so we can comparing contrast. So that would be advice that that .

would be under the advice I did that I I use ChatGPT to planner or european and trip. Yeah, where are you going to like uma or something like that?

The costa grand day.

but you really have outlet milks her could spend the whole day.

the food court ChatGPT said the first day go to the L. M. Mall, then they go to the casino and then just go home. I said, don't even stay the other three days.

Well, how you're down there? I won some land down there. Check IT out. Haven't seen IT for like three years. Probably some squatter .

audit room clean.

You now, last time I looked at that had like tumble weed.

go, the one thing I wanted to do is go to like main and go to main connect. Kate, new hampshire ah, they said he, you got to be prepared. You can be nights as low as the negative two degrees in late december. And so we had rew that out. He was really cool because he calculated thing, the amount drive time we would need about the time we arrest in everything that .

was really need. No, it's great. So I went, I used IT, and I see, so I want to go from last Angeles to paris. Kind of same thing you guys to do in. And then where can I go after that? That's like within an hour flight and and so I said you could go to geneva, vienna, a berlin and so that's so that's how I kind of have .

did all that yeah you don't have to do all the surgeon .

works alright but the reason why brings up is that if you have medical issues and you're not one hundred percent convinced that your doctor knows what here he is doing, is that you can upload up the ChatGPT and say, like what the hacks going on, and it's going to be probably ninety percent accurate in its result versus a doctor at seventy six percent.

But now the entire world has all my medical.

Well, which one do is redact everything. You can take actuate, but you you can redacted everything, but still knows who you are because this tracking and you buy your I P address and sign in and all the other people but you know if you're sitting there, you're like, onery, what the heck go on with you?

You would put medical information in ChatGPT knowing that it's going to use that throughout the entire globe.

Yeah, I would. I mean, if I was sick, absolutely hundred percent because that IT would go through IT would tell me like any type of clinical trials that are going on. And if you have some doctor was like seventy five percent, sure what's going on versus ninety percent. I mean.

that's a big spread. But you don't even use in alex a because you think they're listening in on you and you're going to put .

your mko records. And over that years ago, remember, I had, after walking all around the house and map in the whole thing, I got rumbas. They know everything that you know. And I think about IT theyve been second up dirt on .

me for you that that was a free wheeler right there. You freestyle .

that one sad story coming to us from a private school in landhaus, a pencil dia last year. A little creepy kid.

You know the story? Yeah.

they did all these deep fakes of one girl, and they did you like up to fifty girls. And then the headmaster knew all about this was going on. And they then do anything for a year. nothing.

I mean, everybody in the school, new multiple teachers, councillors, the headmaster, everyone knew, and they did nothing. They just let this kid get away with this.

And they now they are trying to fear out the laws because they are saying that he has been arrested. But do the laws really apply to A I generated Kitty porn, which they don't, because the laws apply to really limit is right? And so now, meanwhile, i've got all these girls who are devastated .

but is still harassment. Even if you're not going to go to that point of getting the long involved, it's harassment. And the school should have done something about that in the moment a year ago.

I'm surprisingly, the parents let him sit there for a year.

That's true. Didn't take him somewhere else. Yes, i'll put them and go to another school.

Now, what would you do if, I mean, because you are such a great dad. Thank you. What would you do if there are images of your kids like this floating around in school?

What can you do once they're on snap chat? There they're everywhere, they're out. Um I would ask my kids what they want.

Would they feel will be more comfortable if we move schools? Would they be more comfortable I went down there and address the schoolboy like, my son is like me talking to his teacher. Well, yeah, because he just has a thing about like causing a ruckus.

He doesn't like rockies really. yeah. He doesn't like to do, like to rock the boat. He wants everyone to be happy all the time. That why is all that rule follow refused that I can make up any rule I be like for now on every single time for go to bed you ve got to say I love goats and I would hear down the hall love goat right now I am he's just .

rule follower .

but I would I would actually talk to them. That's when the communications needed the most. In a situation like that, you have to be open and honest with your kids and say, this is what's going on. This is what's it's awful. But how we're going to handle IT?

Can I be so passed?

Yeah, I would pair. I didn't think that was an option. I don't think I have to go hand tell you that.

that I could, yes, in the look. And so these girls are sitting in there. So you know they probably going to have to take IT up in congress, you know with some rules down on that but no really bad. So you know I just wrote A A USA daystar that will go out to um the new year post in number words about how this holiday season you might wanted ask people in your family not to post pictures of your kids on social media and you might not want to maybe do like what zaka but he does he he puts like the most of their face and um so that this way they're still in photo but you don't see their face now that this way they can really be deep fake at that point but are you is a really a .

concern with the general thing and in all the ones I hear about are calculated that you know the person or it's revenge.

There are all the crab pictures of any kid that they can, no. And then doing .

what they will.

which is gross, just discuss, is awful. All right. So meanwhile, allow her. Hello, we were going to kwai.

Were to kwai. Yes.

the show where your .

life shows for you hear that. Everybody, this is awesome.

When do we leave? Well, in quite, they are having trouble getting some news casters to work there. Little island party doesn't pay very much. And so they decided the garden ion newspaper and T V station that they would hire a couple of A I bots. John and rose, I think their names James and rose and and they're doing pretty well for a couple of months now this was just .

on social media though, right? Yeah not on television. But these were all their videos that they were posted on instagram rect and also .

another youtube chanel like that. And they had sponsors by longs drugs, which you know makes no sense. Having lived in hoi, you know, everybody goes to long drugs.

okay? I mean, if you need a prescription, you go to logs. If you need batteries, you go to logged. If you need slippers, you go to logged.

I mean, team.

yes, but and then i'll also see, and if you live there, you go to longs and you get the special flip flops or slippers that say local lot of .

only locals course, that they went you from idol there here.

take a look at James and rose. James, can you tell us more about the significant drop in the number of visitors to kai and how affected spending .

rose in september? Visitors spending on kai dropped two hundred and eleven point four million dollars from two hundred and thirty six point seven million .

dollars in a thousand. why? I mean, that is, we will guess what they are. Hashtag, open to work.

They got fired. Why they can have them fired. Get fired.

I got fired. Just a little. Nobody is watching.

No, no, I didn't resonate.

No, they did not become part of any boy's oha.

I don't you don't .

know that he is.

No, that's why said I don't know that means.

okay, well, so I was remodeling a house in my wow.

I was just hope of her definition. I didn't know. We're gna get a life story here.

Remember whose .

is named? Okay, I got IT. Okay.

he was in, it's so interested in this. So I was really my own house. And mary and the guy was supposed do the paint we would come over to like paint the bedrooms and stuff on the end OK.

And um and you know this is not my first time remaining house. Mi, so that's like my my third time. And so I kind of if they say they're to show up at eight, maybe ten, okay, and that's just the way this is the island time, the culture guess kay. So i'm sitting there and I don't know in and berry were gone and you know front door bell rings and I and the guys stayed there and he's got a paint gear on and it's like ten o'clock and I said, hey, you guys is here to pay and where's everybody like no, just me he said because um my brother and everybody, there's good surf up on the north side and so so it'll probably be here.

Are you around new and or something like that? So I don't get I want go alright, kay, see you then and eagles, oh, okay and I just like, okay, i'm going to go to work now and i'll see like when the whole crew comes in, okay, and I close store. So like two months later and I was in dark like hi and the guys say there and said, and he's holding is ukeles and he takes off his slippers and shoes for a plops where you can call up and he's like working his way into the house and I said, so what do you doing?

He said, kim, you're like my ohana he said, I come in. I play my u clearly, we talk story. Just what deliver bit. All right? Oh, hot means .

grandmother. Okay, that's what he was saying.

You're like his grandma family. Oh.

family bad.

Not quite a curt. And by the way, they won't say grandmother. No, no, they would say, eti oh so sweet.

you ever get your house painted so you get eventually the guy showed up.

IT was actually kind of fund because the guy showed the painter showed up at ten or part me at noon and but nobody brought the paint because their cousin are .

in the up country had the .

paint that day. So therefore we didn't get to pay. But you know you just had to kind of like rose, that and your family had no patients and that's unlike you would always time like you know small island, i'll take here you go.

That's why berry was gone through out of a house.

Uh, let's see. Church and switzerland. Lusson, switzerland. Have you been there? It's actually no, it's a be beautiful country lucern uh is a beautiful community and lake just let you know where the and try to the the color of the lake is like a ever resident light below.

Okay, because all the minerals that come down from the else, just fact for you. Thank you. Well, there a church and switch has unveiled the A I sus.

Yeah, the digital .

confessional booth. A dishes out advice in one hundred languages.

not the the biggest religious person. This sounds like a false profit to me.

I made .

serious, really you're gonna go until you your confessions to a computer that's pretending that is jesus. The ord sounds like a false profit.

but gave me father for A, I think I .

did that one. Do you already have that one?

Keva I don't be crossed with me.

Would would you confess to a AI? jesus?

Okay, what? This is a whole other issue. Okay, i'm catholic. Bright, kay, I mean, catholic my whole life. Bright had a little bit of a time where I was jewish.

We did, you know.

I went to the home big and everything that's like.

how long have you known .

me either were all in or all out? I think that's just the way that is. And so I have always had a problem with confession.

Mean, i've never I know this holy is this is like, and berry, I talk about all the time because like you are not a cap because you don't believe in compassion. I don't like I am a catholic. That's just part of the the catholic religion I .

don't believe in. That's like one of the .

billers to .

some people to the carefully .

pipe I don't think I need I go through somebody.

So this is perfect for you and just send a text message aig s here and confession things in your time.

IT goes back to the time when I was in second. great. yeah. So you know, and I saw I ve had like bad memories. I mean, even today I can sing in church.

I know can sing in churches, the grocery store here in studio.

because, you know what, when I would sing in church, the none would come over to me and they would hit me over the hand with the ruler and they said, stop making fun of .

the socks, unlike because .

so I was just singing and I came him. Even today I go to church and and joes all sitting there. She's all singing all next door and David all singing and i'm still there .

like just how you don't even harm.

not even harm. But aig es a sacrist.

Absolutely that religious. And this is being sponsored by the church. Yeah, I don't think.

I wonder why. Maybe they just don't have enough prize to .

do the whole because it's a tourist trap. They won't get people to go to that church. They want money. If you ask me, that's what they are doing IT bol's profit.

I don't think so. Have you ever been to confession?

No.

you want to anything you want to confess to me right now.

Not you. Can you promise me a turtle salvation?

No, I can promise you a .

couple of jokes you like.

D, rather have the song to help.

Oh, that one for even me.

Hi, Chris cathern, and i'm very excited to tell you about beautiful and armers a podcast where I talk to random people on the phone and to without a phone number, thousands of people try to call, talk to one of they stay on them. I can hang up. That's all the rules.

I never know. We get serious ones. I've talked with math dealers on their way to prison. I've talked to people who survive math shootings, crazy, funny ones.

I talked to a guy with a gool, somebody who dresses up as a pirate on the weekend. I never know what's going to happen. It's a great show. Subscribe today. beautiful.

It's kim commando today in notation. Wondering is, is the kim commando show? No, it's not the show. That's a whole different animal. What you wanted to wherever you get your product case, you just search for kim commander show and that's K O M A N D O kim commander show and that's it's kind of a big deal is four hours now you see three hours now .

it's four hours and the pike cast consists .

of all four hours. Yes, nice. yes. And but you know you don't have all the commercial yeah .

there's less commercial. So it's like go but an hour and four minutes then so it's erie.

You I know you just areas like wake up this morning say like I going we so meantime it's not about .

I invited due to .

my Christmas party, it's that's the way you are it's the .

opportunity deliver a good joke is nothing to do with this is on the other end I that was going.

you know IT, for those of you who are watching, I would like you to comment. I mean, help me out here if you think like he's being too harsh .

yeah whatever they're going to sound mee.

you all right, self driving cars, you know, I hate IT my test, I couldn't .

stand IT I love self driving cars, hate IT IT say I love those cars. I think the concept is amazing. I can't believe the technology actually is real and IT works. And now we have a study out that says self driving cars are the safest thing on the road really unless a duck on or they're ning. 我 no, 我 was so safe unless it's dusk done or they're turning.

all right. So if they're going straight .

at noon.

then it's good, safest thing in the world, right?

So so here's the statistics. Dusk and dawn self driving car actually has more tendency to get in an accident. Then IT does compared the human counterpart five times more oh.

the out and you're still going to get in one.

So turnings on that bad, twice as many accidents happen in self.

That's not a problem.

not a problem. Bad is five percent.

are you for sure?

But they are safe, relatively. They are safe and human drivers aren't safe either. So it's we're comparing apples to apples.

Both vehicles are unsafe. It's unsafe to be on the road. But the problem is, is that people just don't believe that they're safe. Still, seventy percent of people think they will never get in an automated self driving car because they think we're gonna die.

I'm not. Get anyone love them? not. Well, I can know what, because I had another thing, bad experience with a tesla, where I put IT in full serve driving mode.

right? And I had a testa plant. You know me, I can go big or go home, correct? right. So I get the plant. I'm so excited about this plant.

And by the way, the only way that you can tell that somebody spent the extra mind for the plant is in the back of the car. This is little decal. What does he say?

Something just like?

Well, because IT doesn't looks like somebody was like on like L, S, D or something, because it's just all .

bunch of lines. How long did you keep?

Oh, I had IT for about two weeks that was trying to. I tried to .

give up back to him.

thought you didn't very, I couldn't give you back to, they wouldn't take IT back. Why is he said, just bought IT, right? I like, but I don't like IT.

I want to go back. I mean, I buy clothes. amazon. I take a back, right? Kay, now they won't take a back, so then I had to go find a buyer.

So you had the car, you put itself driving mode, and something bad happened.

Well, um I would have run into a ditch, a truck, a motorcycle. I actually blew through a stop side.

Why are in such a busy area? I mean, it's obviously just because you were you .

in bangladesh. I in up A O 3 of barra has eighty thousand people that lived there。 okay.

And I was at hope branch that's were all the pop exclusive people where there's like the only thing that you have on the road or horses and trucks and motorcycles and stop. S okay, just blue I throw. But that ludo, Chris o, that was pretty something. I mean, that was like.

do you use way more in the valley?

never.

It's so cool. I actually feel safer than I do what i'm getting in .

uber because check in their phone.

looking for their next ride, daydreaming. This car is. So amy is a jg. Irr, first of all, all the most drag wires are you given that face?

It's not a jai. J, I have a nineteen .

fifty four jack o than OK.

我, that is a jack. Okay, those way mos look like a little ford VS of POS, okay? They will look like a jg. Dos doesn't like that long sexy nose at the jack.

What's a different? Make a model, but it's still a jack, a nice car. I'm not.

They are made in india. Kia, okay, they used to be made in england. That was when I was a jack.

Of course, I didn't know I would send you down this. I would tell that's a jack. They're nice and I feel, I feel they're so safe. I told you the story. The first time I got in one, a car was trying to pass, and the way would slow down so the car can get over so IT would keep the passengers safe.

I was in an uber in last Angeles, and we were running late to the airport and I said to the guy said, you know, i'm big, you know, S, U, V, the big black card, and, you know, you were kind of late so if you can go, you figure out a short cut or something, be pretty awesome.

And that's not what you said. You said speed and get me there .

now probably yeah, mr. Uber driver. So he pulled out. He was, oh, okay, not a problem. He pulled out like a cops siren and light and puts on, are you serious?

This a black rules there in galore.

I said, you're like, good, not a problem here.

Just a reminder. Make sure that you like, comment, share, subscribe. Yes, you know, in we are only what less .

than two hundred .

hundred people from .

I I could maybe pull some strings that I could send out a story, not. Stopped by him, me, these extra small t shirts that SHE doing that was, he can laugh at me when I walk around the house.

He had went on day for Christmas. I buy him always underwear, socks, right, and t shirts that are just a little .

your way too small.

It's Christmas good. Now what you can do if you go, you go to like north rack or sax off, if that you can buy like old, not all, but like puma shirts are like, just like really bad shirts, right?

Like five box. So .

prime medium. You nice. O K, 对, put of that。 yeah.

Thank you. right. So for those of you who are new in is my son and ah he's here to do a second what you're doing every week now and why you not have you seen the views no tons of years great um for Jenny made to say and um one thing that I know anger you know that we're both into cars yes and so tell us IT, what's going on with is a .

java or java on commercials when I was .

made in england like that yeah okay. But now that the cars made in india.

how would you say .

that jack .

work really? Jack, yeah that's .

what I was.

Frank rapt is is good one for that. But would you describe yourself as someone who know lives vivid?

No, no, no. No, I don't remember my dreams.

They would do copy nothing, right?

Okay.

because there's me.

I would like all a jog or is a good car for you. Because these are the buz words in their new, very oke, very colorful commercial that they just did, which featured no cars. IT looked like a skin care commercial to me. IT had nothing to do.

No car. No, it's hard to sell a car.

I think so. Jack war is a racing brand, luxury brand, with its roots in england from one thousand and thirty five. It's a major part of british racing history.

They made one of the first type cars in the nineties was called the X A two twenty, which andre entreprise husband outside. So they've been around for a while. And for the past few years, they haven't been doing too well. People have gone on to other brands .

or what not. The, I couldn't keep the .

moment going. The quality is gone downhill. Yeah IT.

Ever since they sold two thousand and eight and then merged with landrover in two and thirteen, they started out souring. And making their cars in india is opposed. The U.

K. Take a major quality dip in the depreciation. Saw that on the cars. Two people decided when I just go with Mercedes or a bmw campaign, the same prize.

Rather just get all the quickly plastic everywhere, every time I put my hand around. But they decided in september to stop selling any cars. They said they're going to take a one year break off of making or selling any cars. What the exception of the way more car, which is the only car that they produced currently.

But now told you .

was they came back with a boom. This is with this commercial that is pretty crazy. If we could pull IT .

up would be amazing. yeah. How to describe .

as going on for us? We see a yellow elevator door open IT as create exuberant. Now we have people in kind of wacky costumes here, live vivid. You got a guy, splash in pain everywhere, delete the ordinary break molds.

the hammers.

hold the hammer. There we ve got a bunch of people. Look in both ways, copy nothing. Then they walk away, sit on iraq and what looks like mars or something. And the whole jg war with the, I mean, used to have the jag war animal that would be pounding cy above IT.

that was the logo and .

now they decided to go with kind of like a the little hel data fun or something that's going on there. You know.

I read something that one executive for jeff said they wanted people to watch that commercial and to feel uncomfortable what they did.

just that OK.

I felt uncomfortable looking at the skinny asian guy with a yellow inner tube around him. Yeah, I me. What did you think about IT? Because this is your first time saying, I I watched a few times.

you do just make you want .

to hop into a jacky's. My only reaction is what the.

Sorry, will have to believe that.

believe in that.

how that's not a commerce, that's nothing commercial. I don't know what i'm to do after I watch that.

Okay, when you peel away from everything, okay, a lot of colors.

yeah very colorful.

A lot of what diverse .

first person opens with the person with afo that has a piece missing, some told piece. They are afro. Do I think my shirts .

were tired too.

He is time to. They were wearing extra.

extra small as something.

And so there OK.

Well.

they .

wanted diversity.

inclusiveness. They want to be unified and they want to be cultured.

But is that the people who buys .

that's not the demographic. The demographic is business men, women in their middle age who wanted driver a luxury car.

miss the mark.

No, no, it's really that for diversity they have they have what called A E I designation now at the company, right? They have fifteen of them.

fifteen one company that's not making any cards. Yes.

they're gonna reveal their next car at art puzzle, which theyve already shown a tea of yes on on december third. And they're going to look like this whole little .

art festival is a big deal.

Who are targeting with that?

I don't .

know who do you think you're targeting. I think .

you're going to into the sue.

Maybe their new car might be tesla model three k want to be affordable?

Yeah.

I would do with the car is going to identify IT.

I like that, but seriously, if I were to just show you that add you like you text.

what would you think are you taking away the jack war at the end? Yes, I would think it's for a fashion brand. Yeah like that's a good one, a one, a perfect a person that works there.

There are always ercs, no wear. I was too much paying attention that I missing a piece. You actually .

looked visibly discharge.

He was weird if I said, hi, i'm going to show you a commercial for craft macron cheese. And then I was just someone leaking a yog goal for fifteen seconds. You would be weird out too.

I wonder how much they did IT. We're you able to see in how .

much they spent on that? I only could imagine they would be in the high six, eight figures.

They went to a marking. This is in the work for months, multiple meetings, layers upon layers of people, and ever was like, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.

And then they had to pick the right people because, I mean, everyone has a distinctive look. But I did read that there are different cultures except for anybody who is a panic, really but that's I read that I don't know. I didn't look at close enough to actually see that. I don't know if somebody .

was actually you maybe show .

up for like I am not weird to Green to you.

he got the .

costume and he decided worth so so if they're .

going after your genre, millennial, okay, obviously they're not going after me. Yeah, they're not going after no. K, is there anything in that ad that made you look at IT and say, like, I am excited for art basel?

Absolutely not. Absolutely not. I just I think it's gonna be a case study on how to destroy a brands heritage for the last nearly hundred years, british racing heritage. But that's why so many people in the U. K. Drive jg wars because of the the history behind IT and they made A A car that enzo faris said what you were talking about ah the one thousand nine hundred and sixty four E T he said was the most beautiful car ever created.

Do you guys for are you familiar with talk care? Yes.

of course I favor chose to have .

germy Clarks and watch that commercial .

funny I I think he actually liked an instagram real where they were making fun of that jack OK. So he's on board with them. Here we go. craze.

Yeah what did they do to like you're talking about in the thought.

what was completely changed the fund and bizarre doesn't make any sense that needs to go.

You don't even just.

go.

Chis gathered, and i'm very excited to tell you about beautiful and armless, a podcast where I talk to random people on the phone. I tweet out a phone number, thousands of people try to call, talk to one of them. They stay anonymous.

Ever heard .

a activism .

to visits?

Yeah, we had a cruise to vim. What is it's where .

you have someone digitally, sure because of who they are, what they represent OK. Not because you're going to gain have a financial game because of you're sending a political message through your hacking. And that happened this week with IT. I'm sure you're familiar with anger. And he he has he used .

to be called a hard knock universal and he's .

got like one hundred thousand active members would ji claims, and fifty box a pop.

that's pretty good. So he got a hundred thousand .

active member which claims.

okay, yeah, fifty dollars each year a month. And what do you get for your fifty .

dollars main training? I think it's supposed to be training you how to make money online and hostel, make ten thousand dollars every single month. And this is not me, don't come after us.

Don't do us, uh, pretty much anyone is gone there said is just pyramid scheme and that you can make money. But if you're at the bottom of the pure media, obviously not. And that he's making all of his money off the subscriptions. So they do online chats and videos and hill du presentations.

And last week he was doing one online and all out of nowhere all of these movies started appearing in the chat and they were, uh, gay flags and two cats kissing and a picture of his butt, and they were just coming in the chat over and over and over again. And these were the hackers sending the message that we've accessed your, what if was IT called again? Hustle university, yeah, hustler's university and we have all the information. There are eight hundred thousand users that has mean he had eight hundred thousand people paying him at least the information of eight hundred thousand people who have account three hundred thousand emails. But they also had all of the text of the internal chats, three hundred and ninety five groups, and they released everything on the internet as activism to get back at him.

What's the internal chat? What does that .

when he's messaging people about making deals or people inside personal, his personal and the personal stuff he was doing with the people that are being in five dolla month as he mentor them in hostel university. So it's now all available online. And the only reason they did IT is because of who he is, what he represents online. And they pretty much.

And so what were they trying to they're .

trying to rip them. They're trying to hurt his business. They are trying to expose everything.

Does this mean a lot of people and I can I don't know. I have blog on, I don't know, a lot of people think is a scammer. He's a rip off artists.

He's run in a pym's scamp that he's negative, I mean, obviously is negative if that's all of his content is if you he hates women, he thinks women are feebly and unintelligent. So that's what the character he plays online. But then obviously, he got charge serious crimes internationally and he's trying to rebuild his brand. But they went after .

what do you think of that? Because I know that you have me. Some of I can take some I do think he's got a message.

He's he's a great order. Yes, he obviously is a great speaker and he's a good presenter, but some of the stuff that is rooted IT is pretty negative.

Yeah IT can be pretty negative. I think he says a lot of outlandish stuff just to get the views in the clicks. But mom, mike, he said some of the stuff that he does say genuinely what he speaks to IT IT kind of resonates with me .

a little bit sense. One of like one of the ones I sent you recently you know pops up on my feet yeah was about how um about how at your stage in life is that you have to focus on you focus on what your goals are, what your and the women will come later but this is your time to shine in your early twenties until you heard about thirty, that you're going to establish yourself and you're going to do everything you can to beat to perfect whatever craft that are in and I know he's got some .

we're self going on the band. This is also part of his rebrand. He's try to be build himself back up. So it's still on the road man side of IT, but the tone has less of an edge.

I was at IT yeah because I haven't i'm just kind of i'm new to the android tape bandwagon .

and he's been .

to around for a long time. Yeah, he was what I fighter.

Yeah, he was a four time kick boxing world champion.

And then he wasn't born in the U. K.

right? He was borne in, I think I believe that was inDiana. And then he spent a few years of his life there, and then he moved to the U. K. This place called to.

And for a guy who was born in, in the end, he think when he .

was three or four o so then he moved to this place called lude, england, north of london, spent most of life .

there how to end up in romania and with a pizza box, and didn't get the free gal bread. I I .

don't know. I really don't know too much. He's very eluted guy.

There's a lot of charges that he is facing when he comes to sexually thought sexual travel. I think .

that's probably part of the activist.

absolutely. no. absolutely. And the hacked vist they hacked don't like him because people are still following him.

He still has a large following. Where is been accused of all this? And b, he's so negative towards women.

that's where they're coming after insoluble.

especially his peak.

That is Peter.

He let down .

no hand too. I mean, he was losing people. He was losing the message. And also, everything that was happening in the real life was reflecting badly on whatever ecology character, whatever persona.

I think more I think you I think .

it's a character in the issue was as that he had made a bunch of youtube videos, you know, kind of say, not so nice stop about women ten years ago.

like what you say. I don't know.

know that he will. One thing that he believes is that, you know, is that his wife can this is not a terrible thing, but he believes that his wife shouldn't work. But if he wants work, then he's fully support about her working, but he wants to play the masculine and role in the family, so and provide for his family.

But he has said a lot of a lot of worse stuff about women. But he talks IT up to have any youtube account ten years ago with three hundred subscribers. And now he last year was the most google man in the world. So he says that a lot of statements ten years ago don't reflect his views.

Now, part of the ray brand.

yes.

part of rand. I mean, he knows how the ultra stuff got him in trouble. And IT worked to a point, but there was a breaking point, a breaking point where police were kicking down his door, where he became a target. So he he's trying to rebrand. I don't know it's going .

to be successful or not, but that was anything .

telling in everything that got released mean.

that's really interesting. What they come up with.

right? If there's anything in there where he admits that what he's doing .

is an act or it's frag so well, kill him yeah .

too yeah no that's gonna .

be pretty awful activism activist reminds me like the .

anonymous group from back in the day yeah, you, because they didn't have anyone for money here, anything like that, they would only hack for justice.

They would say, have they change though? Have they turned to a four profit organization?

I don't know if they're still really around.

No, people use the v preventing mass to us. Make videos online. We are right. I don't know the core members, members of anonymous.

anything?

No, not really. There's too many real hackers.

World make so much money, you forget that actives. You know, we can go steal a million dollars from a seventy nine year old guy who thinks you going to marry .

alex is the W W E restlessly ory.

I know, isn't everything you are.

And I we got a guy .

right now, I think is american, american risk weather spool really? Yeah.

Yes, I got to help him out. Save him. I am yeah no, he's never a .

big place.

So so like, bet his mother reached out to this guy and said, I can't find a suitable man for my daughter but you I know you're retired.

And now he was sixteen thousand years.

But do you think about that? This investment right here where he why is why he give her money?

What's the reason? Oh, because Betty races mother and needs the money in order to pay for the airline ticket .
