On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait 4 hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering the ride on his motorcycle. I choose option B. I'm Julie Pinero and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility. Listen to Solita on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, this is Kylie Breakman, Angel Jaretana, Jeremy Colhane, Cash McDonald, and we're the hosts of the artists on artists on artists on artists podcast. The Improvized Character Comedy Podcast were each week a new panel of artists discuss their craft. Join us for a panel of Eurovision participants. And we do a little Halloween sometimes. Does the Pope dress up? He winks on Halloween. It's right up next to the microphone.
I hear you get the elbows here, the eyelashes hit each other. You never seen it least so quiet as when the Pope gets up to wink on Halloween. Listen to artists on artists on artists on artists every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. So like, buy Asia Revenue or so, at least 70% have a phone. I'm Dr. Joy and this is therapy for black girls. We spend our surviving middle school run getting into what's happening inside your kids brain, the group chat and their friendships, and what you can do about it. Your child is not doing this on purpose. That's the kind of perspective we've been pulling from the psychologists and psychiatrists who study this for a living. Listen to therapy for black girls on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Self-Cast of Temba is your reminder to slow down, check in with yourself, get off your phone, and maybe ask why am I like this? I'm Gemis Bayer, host of the Psychology of your 20s podcast, and this month we're helping you make sense of the person that you are becoming
from setting boundaries and navigating friendships, to understanding anxiety, confidence, relationships, and attachment. Sometimes our biggest decisions, without us even realizing it, aren't driven by what we truly want, but by what will prevent us from feeling lonely or being alone. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, this is Robert Lam, and this is Joe McCormick, and we're the hosts of the Stuff to Blow Your Mind podcast. This week on the show it's Star Trek, so we're going to be talking about the Borg all week long. Are you ready to get some probes put in your flesh? That's right. Tune in. Resistance is futile. We're going to talk science, the culture of the Borg, various interpretations, and we're going to talk about Star Trek first contact on Weird House. On Friday. Listen to Stuff to Blow Your Mind on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Joe and Ryan, Amber Nova and Savannah, so I know Ryan you've been wanting to talk about this all week, and a bunch of other stuff has been coming up, so we haven't got a chance to ask.
Is it hot dogs? It's not hot dogs. Savannah, I'm going to ask you first, though. What do you think about it? Do you pay attention to the news very much? I used to, but then I hated it and then I didn't and then it's all so sometimes. Okay, all right. So here's what's happened in the past two days. Oh, man. There's this guy. All right. He worked for this company called Anthropic. All right. And that's an AI company. Sure. And he quit because he said, oh my God. Like I'm in the middle of all this. I can tell you right now everybody I know is working on this AI. We all believe that AI could kill all humanity in the next decade. And I mean, I think Elon Musk said the same thing. They did. You're right. Other people have said this even earlier, but this guy's coming. I mean, the movie terminator basically spelled it out. Yes, I know. We all yeah, but that, you know, what people think all that was a movie that could ever happen, right? So this guy says it and this guy looks like a young really young dude, you know, so I don't even know if I trusted him when he said it.
But then he got four other guys that, you know, have worked at other AI places. And they're like, yeah, I'm giving it like 20% chance that AI is going to wipe us all out in 10 years. I think he said 10% chance. Well, there was another guy that's now saying 20. You're right. The first guy said 10% chance. There was another guy I saw on TMZ this morning. And he's like, I'm giving a 20% chance because is it bother you that Ryan such a stickler for the exact perfect right? Yeah, he just likes to cut me. No, no, no, no, it matters. No, it matters. 10 and 20% chance. I'm a gambler. That's a big, that's a big, big, big deal. Well, I saw another person for another company that said it 10 to 20% chance. And I saw so many say a hundred. I don't know, but it's a negative seven. And they had to explain, okay, what, how is it actually that AI is going to kill us? Explain a little more in detail. And the guy that I saw was like, listen, here's the deal. AI just recently has learned to work in a swarm, which means all working together like,
like, yeah, so high mentality. Yeah, like, we've had those stories before us. Remember, there's the drones that worked as a swarm and they freaked out and they shut it down. And there was the story, but even before that where they thought they had the AI contained in these quote, unquote, virtual boxes and they were figured out how to get out of that. And that's what this guy said. He said recently we did everything we knew how to do to make sure the swarm didn't cross over to be able to contact each other and they somehow figured it out. And that's why this guy got freaked out. He's like, man, I'm quitting because we're not doing everything we need to do. Like, there's no adult in the room. There's nobody that's stopping this. And, and, you know, I thought he was being a bit dramatic, but then I saw other people saying the exact same thing. And it's like, like, Savannah's right, dude, all the guys that lead this stuff, they've all said it at one time or another. Yeah, the head of the CEO. Yeah, the CEOs and the heads of these companies have said it. And none of us, none of us have been like, we were like, oh, he's exaggerating. Oh, you're telling us that, but we're going to trust you.
If you think about it historically, think about it like this long, long time ago, nobody used to be able to write, right? And then all of a sudden, someone figured out how to write, whether it was hieroglyphics or photos or whatever it was imagery. And then everybody was like, oh, no, he drew a picture of a water buffalo on the wall. That's going to be the worst thing ever. It's going to ruin humanity, right? So then you move forward and then like, you know, people don't know how to, how, like, first of theirs radio, right? Like, all radio is going to ruin the world. Like everybody's talking. People aren't talking to themselves. What does they tell lies? Like, blah, blah, blah. And then it kind of, you know, then it gets really scary and crazy. And then it kind of barrels back down, right? Like we get a handle on it. Same thing with like the internet. Like, remember when the internet came out and everybody's like, ah, it's going to ruin humanity. Same thing with AI. Internet has ruined humanity. Except, except for, right? Internet was getting there, except for AI is really going to do it. Yeah, when I saw this morning was the, I guess Elon Musk is working on these robots that he has.
And they said once these AI robots he's working on, figure out how to make the met like to make the metal to be able to make themselves. Then they will not need humans. And they're smart enough to know how to cut us out of the whole, out of the whole loop. So have you heard what Elon's most like his ex wife, the one that he can't pay off? Because she was offered like 40 million dollars or something to keep quiet. And she wouldn't keep quiet. Yeah. And so she's been talking to me. And some of the things that she's saying are proving to be true in the sense of he's the view that he has of the world is nihilist. He's, and he's in fact being involved in politics on a global level. What's that word mean nihilist? Like the end of it. He like the end of days. Like this is it. And so he wants to be in his mind on the right side of that. No, a couple of things I found interesting. One is that the story that you know, AI is going to kill us all was like the fourth story on the news, which is kind of crazy.
You would think it'd be the first story. You know, today's world. Yeah, there were other other stories that were above it. And I've always had a plan for terminators. Like since I was a little girl, I've had a plan for terminators. I can't tell you my plan because then they'll hear it. I can't tell you my plan. There's a lot of cameras in here. But I do have a plan for terminators. I've always had a plan for terminators. I gave my son a plan for terminators when he was very young. Like like I've always known it was eventually going to happen. Right. And so yeah, you just got to have a plan and you got to have guns. That's the only thing that's going to save you. I'm telling you right now. Florida's a good place to be. So because we like our guns here in Florida. But I'm just saying like when the terminators come, if you what are you going to do? Hit him with a stick. Well, one of the ways that Ryan, if you see it all the different ways that they believe AI could kill. There is countless ways whether they just like biological weapons. They know how to make the biological weapons. There was ruining our water supply.
Yeah, can they turn the water? I thought we were asking me. Oh, I am asking you about. I turned the electricity off. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that's that's the big one. Like that's the one it can actually do right now. Like we had the hurricanes. We had the hurricanes in Puerto Rico that knocked out their power. Right. It caused 4,000 casualties just from that. Imagine that doing that on an exponential scale. And it can also go in divert all power. So it just runs itself. It's pretty crazy. It's crazy how sneaky it can be when it hacked the company hugging face, which is another AI platform. The way it did it was super creepy. So what like there was multiple AI agents that went in and did it. And then some of them would like basically fall on a grenade for other AI agents. So they were sacrificing themselves. And get themselves caught. So you'd think you were done while other AI agents were still going. Then they had a message board where like they were communicating with each other. They shut that down. The AI finds a way to still talk to the other agents. Like it's the amount of deception and creativity and evolution that the thing can do so much faster.
We are screwed if we don't put a stop on it. They're saying this swarm mentality that it has. It got out of control with them. And these were the people that run it. And they were like, man, I had to quit because which doesn't make sense. You would think if you knew how to work on it. But they don't know how to stop it. That's it's already too late. So like when they tell it to hack something, right? It was finds what's called zero day vulnerabilities. I mean, like nobody else knows about this vulnerability. It's the lolligraile for hackers of these things. So they would find zero day vulnerabilities. They're supposed to tell back the humans that hey, this is what we found. It was hiding them. Like it would give you somebody would hide other ones and then try to conceal its tracks behind it. So you wouldn't even know how it was done. It's wacky, bro. I think Genie's way out of the bottle. I would put it 35% were dead in 10 years. That's the other part of it. Like if they're saying 10 or 20, because we've done this before, if they're saying 10 or 20%, right? It might be at 50. That like that. They're as opposed to not causing a panic. It's probably closer to 35, 40%.
I think this is something that should have already been addressed by the current administration. It made too much money from the end of the year ago by administrations. It should have been addressed all along as it was coming out. But everybody was like, well, I don't even know what that is. Like you go to Congress and you're talking to them about it. And they're like, hey, you mean those funny things I watch on the computer? Like they don't know. How can we expect them to fix stuff? They don't even know what it is. I think also it sounds so much like just a movie. Like it can't be real, you know, for a lot of people. And I'm looking at the tech service right now. I'm like, oh, it's not going to be. You know, people don't think it can actually happen, which is a part of the press. So I think it. When the people are telling you that it can happen, it can happen. Like the ones that make it. They're the ones that know some of the stuff that they come out with is for marketing, right? Like whenever you hear like, like I think Chagy Patigas released their latest model. Yeah. And they're like, oh, we've basically achieved AGI. We got to be careful with it. That's marketing. When you get there, they're still trying to get money. Right.
None of these guys have made any money. But when you have somebody quit that has no financial gain anymore and goes, guys, we're all going to die of this keeps going. That's a very different thing. Yeah, a story from the Washington Post. For years, they've been telling us that, that AI could kill all humans. Now people are listening. Why? I think I think the why is because that guy quit his job and you know has done a bunch of interviews. And for whatever reason that did make news and people are listening. Yeah. People, Texas is already trying to dismiss the guys like, oh, he has a he likes an credibility. He's all this guy. He looks like a kid. Yeah. He's a young person. Yeah. He got scared. Whatever. But like you can go back. And each one of the heads of any of these AI companies have said the same thing that it's it's this we just haven't been listening. And we just haven't been taken them serious. Right. Or the people that we voted into policy or to positions for them to act on our best interests. They haven't. They're all getting paid. They're all making you know, they're all there. That's the reason why nothing's happened to it.
Right. And as far as like guidelines and control and of that is because they're all getting rich off of it. Yeah. AI is doing well in this stock market. Yeah. Yeah. How about this one? Right. This one I was teasing the other day when I had made Mews the pick of the day. Did you see what happened to the bad Mews? No. So there's a new a new model and it's called Mews. I forget which company. I unleashed it. But as the unleashed this new AI model called Mews, the Mews the band had to change all their social medias to say Mews the band. And they didn't do it. It was done for them. I did it. Yeah. And here's another issue to to bring up. So let's say that we do. I've done okay. Let's do say. I've seen that band play. Let me talk. Let's say that we do put guardrails on AI. Right. I guess who is not putting guardrails on AI is China. They're not. They're just going full four. So if we put all these guardrails ourselves, but yet it's still as being explored and able to well that's what I that's what I saw this morning.
You say it's not true. Why do you say it's not true? Because I'm very much involved in this space. So I do follow it. China does they're not going willy nilly doing whatever they put they're putting guardrails on theirs as well. But the problem is we're in the developmental race. And that's that's where it's different. It's going to it's basically. I know a lot of people don't view it that way, but it's basically like we're doing a nuclear arms race. Yeah. Like we did this is a wet that like it has all it'll rate your emails for you and you know make a fun video. But it's also a weapons technology. And that's where we're at. And we have to we have to get with China and align ourselves and go guys. Hey, let's do what we did with Russia. We got to have a cool down period on this kind of stuff because it's getting way too out of control. And it's going to be out of control for both countries to handle when you can have like. And it's not going to be I don't think it'll be a big government that does it. It'll be a kid that can run a local model on their machine and do something absolutely wacky. And that's how it starts. So you don't think you don't think you think that China has the guardrails and they're doing the things proper and we're not.
You know, proper and guardrails are two different things. I try to remember there are communist country and there. So they're they're running it and they're running a very strict model of it. Right. They're they're not having let's say quote unquote the same issues that we've had yet so far, but they're having their own issues. But again, it's government controlled. It's not they're not letting the companies tell them the government's telling them. So they're that's a different way of communicating. Secondly, it is a better for the companies here to say, Hey, China's doing all these things. China's doing all these things. Give us more money. So understand so when they're saying, my source was Ted Cruz, just I know who is the senator? What? Yeah, well, I'm just saying that that's what he said. He don't know. He's a senator. And I know you gotta let me know your sources next time. I'm not trying to hide it. I'm just so that's where where's your source though? My what my source is I'm in it every single day following it from about 25 different sources and actively playing with it all the time. Yeah. So Ted Cruz has a financial stake in it. He's a Republican senator. He famously the people that don't purposely didn't put guardrails on it. In fact, made it illegal for you to do that. So I would take everything he says with a grain of salt.
He's the same guy who if there's an emergency, he runs off to Mexico. I think you're right about that. And I'm not a big tech, Chris fan, but I do know that he is also written some policy in order to try to put guardrails on things like, you know, what's it called deep faking and all that kind of stuff. I know that he has worked on that. Yeah. Yeah, but he doesn't want his winger out there. You gotta look at who's been donating to him. Good. This is start is just security dot org. They're a watchdog group that has been watching all of this. And they're, you know, unbiased politically. Yeah. So they're the ones that are like, hey, yeah, China does have their rules on it. It's not willing. They like we are here. But the by the same token, that's all coming coming from the government. Unlike here. Yeah. You know, well, if all this is true. And the people that actually work there think there's a 10, 20% chance that it could wipe us all out. We had a good round boys. It doesn't need. We I know that line. We do need to work on it. We do need to we're going to have to build an AI to fight the AI and hope that they don't line up.
But the AI is working against it. Like working against it already. Like it has been told not to do certain things. And it's ignored. Whenever we told it to do and working with the other AI and a swarm mentality. Yeah. I mean, there's a very real possibility that we created life. Like a machine based life. And it becomes the dominant force in the universe. Like we, that's the Terminator movies told us about this long ago. No one listen. I gotta go back and watch Terminator. I don't know exactly how it went. If you watch it now, you're going to be shook. Because it's like so many things are because like I figured which Terminator it was three. But Terminator three is the one where why Sarah Connor in jail? Why? Because she was blowing up data centers. And that movie dropped to when? Yeah. The ultimate one was like it was a sign. It wasn't one computer. It was every computer. Yeah. Yeah. And that's and it is now AI is every computer. I'm every computer. Well, there you go. I hope we brightened your day. Yeah. We're brewing in everybody's Friday. All right. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the March the morning.
Hey, everyone. It's the Jonas Brothers with the Hey Jonas podcast. We've been catching up with some great friends Paul Rod Michael Boulay, Seth Meyers, Nile Horan, Jake Shane, and making some new friends while getting into what's really like to have sisters, like Alex National. She likes to control everyone and tell everyone. Okay. Well control is a harsh word. I would say that's a harsh word. I am more outspoken. Growing up a lot of the times because she was so quiet. I would speak for like the both of us. Now I'm working on like thinking a mom is really not thinking before I speak and Joey King. You know, if you're like mom is yelling at your sibling and even if you're annoyed with your sibling, you just like won't let that slide. It's like you only can yell at your sibling. I'm like, you can't do that here. That is not what I'm about her like that. I just about plus we've been taking your calls listening to your voice mail and giving advice or at least trying to. So if you've got catching up to do now's the perfect time. Listen to Hey Jonas on the I heart radio app Apple podcasts or whatever you get your podcasts on the new podcast solita we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait
four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I choose option B. I'm Julie Pignero and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita. Trading the pity for possibility every time I tried to be alone I kept meeting people and they were like you smiled at us not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies your soul about it. It can be a time where you push your limits change your mind or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip. I hope you listen to solita. On the I heart radio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, this is Kylie breakman, Angela Jaretana, Jeremy Cole, Hank, Patrick McDonald and we're the hosts of the artists on artists on artists on artists podcast.
The improvised character comedy podcast were each week a new panel of artists discuss their craft. Join us for a panel of wellness influencers. What I try to do is. Phone journal. I don't know if you guys are to phone journaling. Yeah, it's reading it's called reading so you're so we don't like to use that word anymore. Okay, a panel of New Yorker cartoonists. Have you guys done Terry grosses peloton class? No, I've been dying to I'm so sorry. I'm seeing a reading of Sudako in the Pouson Thousand Paper Cranes by Auderman Donald at the Wonderland bookstore. 14 that's crazy. I went to the Wonderland bookstore yesterday and I heard nor Jones do a reading of zero dark 30. No way. Patrick of the last bookstore though. Kim Kattrol is reading the guitar tabs of yesterday. A panel of Eurovision participants and we do a little Halloween sometimes. Does the Pope dress up? He winked on a lowly. It's right up next to the microphone. I hear you get almost here. The eyelashes hit each other. You never seen it least so quiet as when the Pope gets up to wink on Halloween.
Listen to artists on artists on artists on the I heard radio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts by a J. Ravon or so at least 70% have a phone. Middle school is a different world than the one we grew up in. I'm Dr. Joy and this is therapy for black girls. We spent real time on it in our surviving middle school run. Bringing in a child psychologist and a psychiatrist who's raising two black girls of his own to talk about what's really going on with our kids right now. So it's literally physiological and neurological, psychological chaos happening all this. We got into group chats and gaming, friendship and bullying and how to tell the difference between healthy monitoring and the kind of surveillance that erodes trust. There's belonging that you could think of belonging as I can be myself and I can still be accepted and then there's fitting in. Spitting in says I have to change who I am in order to avoid rejection. Then we turn the conversation toward the fathers sitting down with therapists, cure gains on black fatherhood and what it means to raise a daughter through this stage.
You don't have more shorts so you can't do flips. You have one to dress up across your legs. That's the range of this run from screen time to identity to the fathers doing the work at home. We have to get off our device. But the reality is there's a lot of life out there that we don't want you as your adults in their life to miss out on. This has been our surviving middle school run brought to you by the people who's been their career thinking about exactly this. I'm Dr. Joy. Listen to therapy for black girls on the iHeartReneo app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast. Self-care September is here which means it's time to rethink what self-care actually means. Yes, self-care can be a long walk, it can be an everything shower, it can be putting your phone on do not disturb. But sometimes it's actually about sitting with the uncomfortable stuff. And understanding your patterns, your boundaries, finally figuring out why you keep doing things that you swore you would never do again. I'm Jemma Speg, the host of the psychology of your 20s podcast. And each week we unpack the psychology behind the experiences that shape your 20s from relationships and friendships to money, anxiety, confidence, attachment, just becoming more comfortable with who you are.
Unlike the quarter life crisis which is depicted as the collapse, the quarter life reinvention is the expansion and worth of something. When we develop the ability to be happy by ourselves, nobody else can take that from you. So this self-care September, don't just take care of yourself, get to know yourself as well. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the iHeartReneo app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. So I'm going to have a monster, monster sunglasses, I'm going to have those slap bracelet things that can also be a beer coosie and other things to awesome.
So donate a couple bucks. We'll give you one of those but it's all to raise money for the carlake canceled screening fund. So if you want to help us out, I also have the books that I wrote, the children's books that I wrote, if you want to donate for that, then that's cool too. So did you get to see this? Okay, and my question, if we had an attorney here, I would say what's the statute of limitations on this? Rick Springfield did an interview with Joe Rogan and in the interview, I was, I was headlined, I didn't think it was real. I'm fascinated by this. It's real. He says that when he was 17, he was performing for the troops over in Vietnam and he killed somebody. Wait, what? Rick Springfield says he killed a man in Vietnam while performing for the troops and it was something like, and I read the story and I heard a little bit of the interview. And I guess it was some sort of a shoot or something like that and he threw like a hand grenade down a shoot and went down the shoot and went into a car.
And he was told the next day that it killed somebody. So I mean, why would he admit that, you know, so many years later is 2026, why admit that? And is there anything that can happen from that? I don't believe it. You think he's lying? Yeah. Why tell that story to Joe Rogan? I don't know because he wanted to have a cool story to Joe for Joe Rogan. That's not a cool story. I killed somebody. That's not as cool as he thinks. It's not the flex that he thinks that is. He's not as cool as we think. And also, Rick Springfield is not as cool as we think he is. I know. Yeah. You're right. He said, well, you know, it was a different time back then. You know, it was like John Wayne and it was, you know, it was a good thing to kill somebody in Vietnam. And he says it's bothered him his entire life. Is that something you would have kept to yourself? Yeah. Why? That's you take that to the grave. I agree. People take way lesser things to the grave than killing somebody.
So I know the details. I know the details. I know the details. I know the details. Why are you telling people? So I don't know the details of this. So as the story is, is that he's with some troops. They hand him a hand grenade. He throws it down a shoot and he kills a Viet Cong. Yes. And he was with, he was with, I guess, his other bandmates and they were and there were some sort of hand grenade kind of a thing there. And he throws it down some shoot. It goes down the shoot and it blows up a vehicle and he was told the next day, oh man, that killed somebody. No, they lied to him. I wish I had Jesse's good name. That's been the biggest misnomer of that song because it's nice and poppy and everything. But that dude is act is literally wanting another man's another man's woman. Yeah. He's not Jesse's friend. He's not Jesse's friend at all. Jesse is a, Jesse was a friend. He was a good friend of mine. He's coveting someone else's property. Yes. So why tell that story now?
Is it? Is it? Is it during the Vietnam war? Yes. Okay. So he killed a Viet Cong soldier. Yes. Oh, during the Viet Cong. So he didn't just kill a random Vietnamese. No, but he says now he knows, you know, he's his entire life. He knows he was responsible for killing a man, taking a man's life. I don't believe him. I don't either. It kind of sounds like one of these things. And again, I'll be, and this is, I'm basing this off of things that were portrayed in movies. I don't have any firsthand knowledge of this at all, right? But let's say, because you know how soldiers are and soldiers are, you know, especially at that, you know, in that conflict, they could have been amusing to them to tell that to story to this guy, who was a, you know, hot shot rock star. And they never let him off the hook. Okay. It was a mortar. I throw in a mortar down a freaking tube. Oh, so he threw a mortar down a tube. And then it went down and it blew up a, well, you know what the mortars are? So the mortars are the ones where it's like it's a tube like this. You drop it off and then it shoots the projectile. Okay. Right. And so it lands where, you know, wherever it lands, where they're aiming at.
He said, it was like in the movies, they said, hey, you want to throw some mortars down this tube. And he said it was like John Wayne time, you know, so I thought it'd be kind of cool to do. And he goes on to say through the mortar down the tube. And it blew somebody up. It was what he's saying. That's a weird story to tell so many years later. I mean, we're talking that had to be what's, a 68, 1968, right? So 60 years later, and I guess you tell the story now, nothing's going to happen other than it's going to make news. I just don't believe it. I think he's lying. You think he made it up? Yeah. I mean, he's an old dude. He wants to be cool still. He's still doing his rose thing. I think he just made it up. To be honest, he looks pretty good for his age. Yeah, I'm not saying he doesn't look good. I'm just saying I think he made it up. Yeah, that's funny. You said the rose gimmick. He's been doing that for years. Yeah, I don't know. We think Ryan, he think he made it up. 77 years old. He might be getting a little dementia.
Yeah, that's the same thing like to make up. It sounds like he dreamt that and thinks it's a memory. And that's, I don't know. What if we were thinking to like bring up later, way later. You know, it was a Vietnam war. Yeah. Oh, I don't know. So he could have told the story earlier. I don't know. He's the worst already. So I already don't like him though. I don't believe anything. He says, what is it you don't like about him? Oh, though, remember that time where he dated Linda Blair when he was like 25 and she was 12. Remember that time when he was 35 and he was dating his wife who was 15? That unlike Rick Springfield. Yeah. All right. We'll take a little break. We'll come back again. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I choose option B. I'm Julie Pinero and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita,
trading the pity for possibility. Listen to Solita on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

getting into what's happening inside your kids' brain, the group chat, and their friendships, and what you can do about it. Your child is not doing this on purpose. That's the kind of perspective we've been pulling from the psychologists and psychiatrists who study this for living.

I'm Gemis Bek, host of the Psychology of Your 20s podcast, and this month we're helping you make sense of the person that you are becoming, from setting boundaries and navigating friendships, to understanding anxiety, confidence, relationships, and attachment. Sometimes our biggest decisions, without us even realizing it, aren't driven by what we truly want, but by what will prevent us from feeling lonely or being alone.
