I'm Strong and Getty. I am Conan O'Brien and I'm honored to be the last human host of the Academy Award. Yes. Next year, it's going to be a Waymo in a Tuck's, so check that out. That's kind of funny, a Waymo in a Tuck's. The Academy Awards are moving to YouTube in a couple of years, which sounds fairly appropriate for where things are going and the fact that the ratings have dropped off so much over

recent years as they've alienated two thirds of America, I think. In three years, the Oscars move online to YouTube. I hope the producers, I'm reading a critic in the New York Post. I hope the producers, well, I hope there are new producers for this show. I hope whoever's in charge should take the reboot as an opportunity to remake the Academy Awards to be a celebration of our love of movies and not just use streaming as it excuse to let winners talk and talk. No more blather after another, one blather after another, which is a take on the title of the film that won the best Oscar last night, one blather after another. Yeah. Okay. Well, it's going to go one direction or other. They're either going to decide, you know what, we should try to welcome in everybody of love's movies, which is everyone and stay from politics or we should decide that we have now become a tight little group of a certain kind of person. We're just going to talk to each other, which seems to be the direction they've chosen. Like this one, it was written by David Mckick's Hollywood, the most sublime dream factor he ever known to humanity has died official reports don't include an exact time of death,

but the end came years on after years on life support sustained by a lesion of CGI enhanced superheroes once relicking in reckless full of glamour, danger and suspense, Hollywood spent two decades withering into a cosmetically altered politically correct corpse. This one surviving older relative opera could not be reached for comment. It's only child television and two grandchildren video gaming and little tiktok were distracted by family quarrels and did not attend the funeral. Yeah, I saw so I'm sorry, speaking of family quarrels coming up, having annoying relatives could speed up your biological clock. In other words, send you to an early grave. Stay with us. Short Oscar comments. I did not see a second of it, but I read some quotes from various stars saying things about ice or the war or whatever. And I think, what do you think you're accomplishing at this point? Maybe 15 years ago when you still got an audience of like 80 million people and it was shocking

to hear somebody make a political comment, maybe then you got some bang for your buck. But at this point, when you're only talking other people agree with you. And the audience is dwindled way, way, way down. What is Harvier Bardeme or whatever thing is? Think he's getting out of free Palestine and the crowd collapsed over what does he possibly think he's getting out of that? I think as a misanthrope, you're ill-suited for this question because I think you underestimate the desperation for approval that the people inside that building have. It's for each other. It's for the people in the building. The people in the creative arts community, which is essentially the people that I don't relate to that because I don't have that gene or whatever. But yeah, so he's going to go to the after Oscar party. He's going to hit three after Oscar parties and people are going to say, that was so brave what you said about Palestine, and that gives him an erection having done that. I don't know about that. I don't know him that well. But yes, it will please him on the other Oscar thing that maybe we'll talk about later

is ozempic on the runway. Apparently people who are already pretty dang thin are now skeletal because they decided to go ozempic and get his so skinny, okay? That's interesting. Wow. Wow. What a strange subculture of America that is. I swear, and nobody's paying much attention these days, but other than the media, which is stuck in the past because they're hurt animals. But I mean, you might as well be talking about some sort of sister wives community where they're all wearing a drab dresses out in the rural Utah or something than Hollywood because you know, about as similar to my lifestyle as one to the other. Still alerts me to all these award shows alert me to good stuff and I have some fine good stuff. Marty Supreme, the Timothy Shalame movie, he was nominated for Best Actor, but lost last night. Watch that movie where we can weave. We loved it. It was fantastic.

I started in watching it again yesterday, aren't we saying that I'm very arty. Yeah, it is not a formula movie, but and Timothy Shalame is flipping amazing. It was between that or sinners and I just can't do vampire. I just really just can't go vampire. Even though the Southern Duke joint music, that all looked good, but I just, but then I'm told the second half just kind of becomes a vampire movie. Yeah, it looks like it's funny about you and vampires. How about Frankenstein monsters or mummies? Are you simply anti them or I'll tell you this about the ping pong movie, Timothy Shalame. If you've seen a trailer, you have no idea what the movie's about. There's no way you could make a trailer that gives you any idea what the movie is like. Wait a minute. His dog doesn't die a cancer at the end. They fooled me once with that crap. Not like that, but it is. Okay. It is. Yeah. Okay. Now I'm interested. Yeah. I like vampire movies. So I'll probably watch that to sinners. I've been told that it was kind of woke, but I don't know these days, everybody's so

on edge. I have a dozen different. Well, speaking of that, just since it came up now on that one battle after another, is that what it's called? That one best picture. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I saw it and I didn't see politics in it. You saw it and other people saw it and thought there's a lot of politics in it. Oh, I thought it was unwatchable, yeah. That's interesting. A lot of reviewers are on each side of it too. The director himself said, no, it's not about politics. He said, I hate movies that are about politics. He said, they're boring, plus you have no shelf life. I want to make movies that people will enjoy for years. So his intention was for it to not be about politics. But again, when we discussed this originally, I confessed that I'd only watched the first 20 minutes or so of it and you can get a disordered idea of what the greater thing is. But Hollywood's obnoxious and I hate them. Anyway, I just thought I'd put a period on that or coming up, indeed, your obnoxious relatives will shorten your life. But first, I've got half a dozen, at least, of really intriguing articles about AI and

where we are now with it. Here's the question for you. And I noodle this through every time I bring it up. It's probably going to be completely different in three months. So how much value is there in a where we are now? I suppose there's value because we're all kind of curious about how it's evolving. But I'm never sure. But I like this thinking, AI can do work. Can it do a job? This is really well written by Kobe Yank Jacobs, which sounds like an act more than a name, but his middle name is Yank. His last name is hyphenated Yank, Dash Jacobs. I've never heard of anybody named Yank. Yank? Kind of reminds me for some reason of my shop teacher slash rustling coach who used to call me Mr. Mi-offer. That's a crass and childless joke, especially for an educator, Jack.

You couldn't get away with that anymore, could you? Calling a child? No. You shouldn't have gotten away with that. What the hell? You went to some weird schools. So this guy's a piece of right and starts off with a couple of people who are trying to figure out what career might be AI proof like this. Gal, who's a journalist, who became, now she writes about wine and beverages and stuff because robots can't taste wine, she says. But he writes, the problem is true. I suppose robots can't taste wine. Right, right. But then he writes after some delightful and lyrical writing, which I will skip, an AI passing the bar hasn't displaced lawyers, just as an AI reading a medical scan is not displaced radiologists. Software engineers do seem to be on the precipice and they often acknowledge it. If you're just following what tasks AI can do, you see a drastically mixed picture when

you look at different industries. To get a better picture of how the latest AI development affects jobs, you need to think in terms of messiness. What can an AI do in a flexible fluid environment? One where instructions are ambiguous, the steps are less important than the outcomes. An AI that leads to major job displacement doesn't just act independently, it pursues goals. Recent studies show a 16% decline in employment among 22 to 25 year olds in the most AI exposed professions like programming. There is absolutely no question that it's really, really hurting that. At the same time, other research showed that industries with high AI exposure have seen a 1 percentage point increase in the rate of job growth relative to industries with less exposure. This is often referred to as the difference between automation and augmentation. If AI makes your job faster to do, an employer might choose to sell more of what you make.

When ATMs were invented, it actually increased the overall number of bank tellers, but they did different work. This is augmentation in action, a productivity enhancing machine expanded the business and an upgraded the value of the frontline role. This doesn't happen in every case, but it makes the simple story of automation a little more complex. He talks about, if it eliminates bottlenecks, I'm sorry, he said, another reason why I'm looking narrowly at AI as performance on certain tasks is a faulty heuristic that is deploying AI in actual business context is a really slow, messy process. This isn't part because productivity gains create bottlenecks. If I were to complete three extra articles per week, our editors would also have to move three times as fast. Rules and regulation also had the stubborn friction replacing human scheduler and doctor's office with an AI won't necessarily make it any faster to get the necessary hip up permissions to handle individual patient profiles. The barrier there isn't technological anyway, so it's very messy and it's a long piece,

but the fact that we don't have any idea whether this is going to revolutionize man's relationship with earning a living in a way that's never happened on planet earth or maybe not hardly at all is amazing. Right, right, but he says the challenge right now is to figure out how to use AI and how much to use AI in a way that doesn't lead to sometimes hilarious disasters because that's still happening a lot with hallucinating or when anthropic lit clawed run its office vending machine as a small business, which was an hilarious, uh, foibles. So where there is ambiguity and it's more about goals than a specific task that can be easily programmed, they think it actually might increase jobs in those fields for now. Again, ask me again in two months. Yeah, I mean, an example on that would be so I, I saw the results of the Oscars and I wanted to do a little research last night and then, um, uh, so I searched on Grock for

instance. I said, what did critics or the directors say about the meaning of one battle after another after winning the Oscars tonight? And Grock just could not come up with that movie. Just could not recognize that movie exists, um, as I kept saying, do you mean the movie kept giving me different titles? We're not, uh, do you mean last year's Oscars? It like just what, how could you not, I mean, just the most simple, rudimentary Google would give you that movie and it didn't, couldn't tell that it existed. I went to Claude and got immediate results, but so, but how, how these AI machines just every once in a while glitch and like get something so wrong, mm, it's amazing. Yeah, yeah. I don't know if you can ever say you're the disastrous man on the nature of your business. No kidding. No kidding. Wow. If you have any thoughts on about that, anybody in the know, you should hit us with the text 415295KFTC.

air strikes in the capital of Tehran. We've got some video showing black smoke rising overnight from the Iranian capital. It's not just Tehran that's getting hit though, the entirety of western Iran coming under heavy, sent common Israeli strikes as the Americans and the Israelis are looking to degrade the Iranian regime and their capability to respond. So we'll have more on the latest with the war coming up a little later and where things stand with the attempting to open the strait of her mose so oil tankers can go in and up. And does it feel like your toxic family relationships are aging you, they are science coming up, stay with us. Got the perfect companion piece to what we were just talking about with the whole AI thing. Is AI going to like destroy the everything, economics, people having a job, people having a purpose in life, blah, blah, blah, just upend the planet or not. Well, one of the greatest alarmists in world history who turned out to be wrong died over

the weekend. Paul Erlich who wrote the population bomb in 1968 that had everybody freaked out for years and years and years really started the whole environmental thing. He died over the weekend. He wrote the population bomb. He was predicting that by the mid 80s, there would be never ending wars for food and water because the population would be so great with limited resources and there was there's all almost no time left to turn this around families all around the world needed to start having one, two or no children or were absolutely doomed as a species. And he couldn't have been more wrong hilariously so yeah, and not that it would have been easy to predict. I mean, it would have been impossible to predict that human beings would just on their own decide to stop having children and now are big problems where we're going to get people. We're going to disappear because we don't have to people. I don't blame him for not being able to predict that. The point is that along the same as the whole AI thing, who freaking knows.

This guy was on Johnny Carson 20 times, 20 times. He was on the tonight show talking about when we get when we reach this many billion people and this much water, we don't blah, blah, blah, the end of this wars and this is what's going to happen and starvation not even close to right. Right. Right. And I've always thought with the climate change thing, nothing I'm pro like pumping pollutants into the air nonstop or anything like that. I'd like to protect the one planet we have. Sorry, you on for now, the one planet. If, for instance, the temperatures rose because of carbon emissions and I've got to believe that that would cause something like nonstop rain for six weeks that would go to the planet or something. We don't know what the self correction is like the polar like garbage. Yeah. Whatever. He's dead now. I, you know, I don't know if he should be criticized the way he, it often is just because he got it wrong. I mean, the trajectory, if the trajectory had continued, he's probably right.

I mean, you get too many people. There's not going to be enough food and water and what the hell's going to happen. The point being is that you just can't, you can't put, there's too many other factors as you said to predict these things in a straight line. Right. And certainly with AI, AI is more unpredictable than anything really. No clue. No idea. Nobody has any. I'm going to be exciting to live through it. I think. If you miss a segment at the podcast, I'm sure I'm getting on demand. I'm strong and getting. Support for the show comes from public, the investing platform for those who take it seriously.

It was more oppressive to their women in their countries, Iran, or the Trump administration here in America. I don't really think I'm the best knowledgeable on this subject, so I don't really care. Well, I'm not a woman, I don't think it's my right to say which group, if the other group is having more or less rights, it's absolutely the people it's actually affecting. I would say they're equally as oppressive. I feel like Trump oppresses us to an extent, because we still have our freedoms and stuff

like that, but he's trying to get rid of them too. I mean, wasn't up until recently, women couldn't open their own credit card as a certain point in the US? I really don't know. I'm sorry, I don't know about Iran. So I think the takeaway the way I was seeing it float around, at least in conservative circles, was, you know, woke college kids. For me, it was more moronic college kids, they clearly like, just don't think about the big issues or have never been taught about them, or they're just unaware, and not well spoken. No, no, they just come off as dumb people. Or as children. Yeah. Yeah. You'd expect that answer out of a 10-year-old, not a 20-year-old who's made it to college. Yeah. I mean, even as a confession of ignorance, if they were to say, that's a really interesting question. I'm afraid I haven't really studied it, as opposed to... I don't know about things like this that we're talking about. I mean, they sound like little children, which gets to...

There's practically no standard to come out of high school as a high school graduate anymore. To get from first grade to second grade to all the way through to graduate high school, there's just... You can't be held back. It doesn't matter how little you learn, they pass you along. I know this for a frickin' fact, and it makes me insanely angry. I can talk about this for the rest of the show. They have no standards, and they won't even tell the parents. Right. It's just... It's so maddening. And then they head off to college, and college apparently is the same way. I don't have that experience with college, but apparently college is the same way. All right. And then you graduate with a college degree, so now you're 22, with a high school diploma and a college degree, and you don't know a frickin' thing. Well, right. And what's really interesting and unfortunate is you've got employers of all sorts across the country, you say, yeah, that college diploma doesn't mean squat. These people don't know anything at all. But that word is not filtered into the culture, especially the parents who are still absolutely intent on selling body and soul and mortgaging house to get kid into, quote, unquote,

good college. It really is insidious. It's decadent is the word. We're just not a serious country. Well, we're not going to talk about that. We're going to talk about this unless you want to talk about that more. We can talk about anything. No, it's free space, etc. Those college kids, you might as well use the term kids, because they sound like little kids. And you ask a grown-up question, boy, I, that, yeah, that was the shocking part to me. I think about the guys I knew in school and girls for that matter, you wouldn't get any of that. Well, imagine if you did that on any topic in the 40s. Sure. Right. Yeah. I wonder what school that was at. You sure wasn't a middle school? Most people have one, a parent who can't get through a phone call without a cutting remark, a sibling whose entire personality seems engineered to cause problems, a grown

child who drains every gathering of its energy. News research, new research suggests these relatives aren't just making life more frustrating for other family members. They may be causing you to age faster too. That's funny. Have that. That, that currently thank God. Right. No, neither do I, but I know people who do, including, you might marry the most wonderful person in the world, but the crew they bring along with them might be a tad trying. So this is, this is so interesting. When I tell you what, I hate to skip to the end, but it may convince you that those toxic relationships that you just grit your teeth and get through, maybe how to save yourself and get through them less or try to spend less time, nearly one in three people as at least one hasler, which is what they gave a good moniker for that person in your life.

Someone who regularly causes problems or makes life difficult, the family members are the most common and biologically costly type. They cause actual biological, accelerated biological aging when your family members, more than co-workers, more than neighbors or even your spouse. It's like that next tear out showed the strongest links to accelerated biological aging when they are regularly hassled, burdened or created problems for someone in their network. Having a family member in that category was associated with a biological age, roughly a year older than peers at the same calendar age and with cells aging, measurably faster. So is that an evolutionary thing and we're just so concerned that the people closest to us are not on board with the tribe, what the tribe needs to do to survive. And it really works. I just think it's stressful. Yeah, stress tears apart the telomeres at the ends of the cells.

I guess I can't comment on this because I don't have the situation, but I feel like possibly because of doing this job, I could just let it roll off me. It's not going to stress me out. It's just all right. You're in college now and that's what you think. I'll check in with you in 10 years. Yeah, I would agree. Yeah, but I mean like the, you know when you're visiting them, you're there for Christmas, just thanks giving you a phone call, whatever you know, they're going to say something nasty and oh, there it was. Well, and it's all, it's stressful. It's all about the degree to how much, how much I'll often, how adamant. Yeah, interestingly enough, the cliche of the henpecked spouse or whatever, didn't seem to have nearly the same significant biological ageing effect as the family ties, according to the study, the family ties hardest eggs that and loaded with most obligation. Parents, children, and siblings may be doing the most quiet biological damage. You know, I can think of an example now. I was in a relationship for a while years ago with somebody who was quite woke.

And it stressed me out so much. It probably cut a decade off my life. I probably got a year to go because of, because of that religion. Let's just let's come out with it. You great. You dated Greta Tunberg for here. You're a little Greta, squire on her around town, taking the occasional voyage, you know, bring crap to the Palestinians. Me and AOC were a couple for a cup of coffee. That was really tiring, but yeah, that was funny. Yeah. And whenever it would come up and they'd see something like that, it was just, it was beyond like, I don't agree with that. It was just like, I could feel my telemers shortening. Yeah, yeah. Non-family hasslers, such as co-workers or acquaintances, also showed a significant association of the two aging clocks, but not nearly as bad as parent siblings and children. Another thing, this is probably a personality trait with me more than anything else. I'm more uncomfortable for the other people in the room than I am myself.

I think because I feel like I can handle this. I can just ignore your stupid opinion. But it really bothers me that these other people around here are having to hear this. Here's some interesting demographic info. Hasler exposure also turns out to be unequally distributed, tracking closely with existing vulnerabilities. Women were more likely to report having hasslers than men. People with more adverse childhood experiences showed higher hassler counts in adulthood. Well, they come from a somewhat dysfunctional family that continues to be. Yeah, that's an all-so-brother chicken egg thing right there. Daily smokers and those in poorer health also reported more hasslers. Daily smokers. Yeah, that's wrong with Trump. All right, I don't suppose you've lucked into your kids' problem. Yeah, I've been too busy. Oh my God. Exactly. Your chain's smoking. Uglier than a mud fence mother-in-law.

Boy, talking about your daughter, and she always like this. In short, people already dealing with the most also tend to have more difficult people in their lives. A compounding effect. The author's described as a form of, oh, good Lord, relational inequality. Please shut up. Quit talking to me like that. I'm going to get that little hole you talk to me through your throat. I'm going to put a marble in there. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to shut you up. Is he still in that dead end jab? Yes, mom. He finds it satisfying. He enjoys his work. It's a dead end. That's all I'm saying. Well, you really failed with that one, didn't you? Well, cross the the clown on the line. Biological aging was far from the only health domain affected. Each additional hasler was associated with higher depression and anxiety. Scores, porous, self-graded mental health and physical health, higher BMI, worse waste to hip ratios now. No, no, my waste to hip ratio coming in for a kicking and higher rates of multiple chronic

conditions occurring at the same time. Inflammation markers from the same DNA samples followed suit. Chronic social stress appears to put the body's internal alarm system on a slow burn repeatedly triggering the release of stress hormones like cortisol and its evil cousin adrenaline. Over time, the persistent activation feeds inflammation at the molecular level, wearing down the body across multiple systems at once. Wow. What is my hip to waste ratio supposed to be? I don't know. Two to one. I don't have any idea. Varys from a fellers and gals had a man. Never measured that. I don't have any idea where I am on that. And I think a lot of people know this instinctively. Those dysfunctional relationships are not just unpleasant. They're wearing you down. Yeah, that's interesting. Again, shortening your life for God's sake. I should take this to heart because I do see I hear other people complain about it and

maybe I don't realize how awful it is because I've never had it. But like people talking about like they got to go visit their mom or whatever. It's just like, oh my god. Can I get through this weekend? You know, and I've never had that thank God. But okay, there's a reason why people talk that way. It's actually damaging to your health. Yeah, I know a handful of people who are lovely people who came from pretty serious dysfunction and have to stay in touch to some extent. Oh yeah, I can practically see it shortening the life spans. I don't think about it. Yeah, and they're hit the waste ratios all out of whack. Please solve nutty and then the advantage. Then what are you going to do? Well, if you're in a Hollywood star, you hit the ozampic. Apparently Hollywood has gone wild with weight loss drugs. She got women who are 110 pounds gobbling the stuff down. Now they look like skeletons. So the doctors will give it to you or can you order it without a doctor at this point? I don't look to do it. Look at your aging Hollywood stars, especially you can find a doctor will do

freaking anything. That's a good point. You get Matthew Perry's doctor and you're off to the races. For Michael Jackson's right. Speaking of a woke, come on up an hour or four. I'd like you to turn me into a white woman and then give me surgical anesthesia so I can sleep. Alrighty, Michael, let's get on that. Change me from black to white, remove my nose and give me some elephant tranquilizers. Done. I'm on it. What would you like to pick that up? Coming up in hour four, I'll put it off till then because we're just talking about woke. One of the best exclamation exclamation. Oof, that's an exclamation. One of the best damn. One of the best explanations for what drives the whole woke thing. It's really interesting. It's about the spiritual deficit, but in a way I'd never seen it put before. So wait till that now or four.

Yeah, British spokesperson said, yeah, well, at least we arrest our pedophiles. So we got that on the road. Wow, actually you don't arrest gang rapists if they're Pakistanis in Britain. So back to you, Conan. Sarah and I live also had an Epstein joke at the very beginning. Once again, implying that the warner ran is to cover up for the Epstein files. Wow. Back to the Oscars briefly. Sean Penn won the Oscar last night for best supporting actor for his role in one battle after another. And he is something in that movie. But he didn't attend the Oscars, so you didn't get his speech because he's in Ukraine, trying to draw people's attention to that war, feeling like it's being forgotten, which is a good expenditure of your time

as opposed to sitting at the Oscars and doing whatever you do there. He's only the fourth male performer ever to win three acting Oscars. It's not very often to win three. Daniel Day Lewis, Jack Nicholson, Walter Brennan, and now Sean Penn, not that that means anything. The trajectory of all this sort of thing was going to happen whether they got political or not. I mean, because we just have so many different entertainment options happening all at the same time, I think it's part of it. And so it was going to head this direction anyway. But I'm surprised that it still has any heft whatsoever because I feel like the thing that we learned coming out of COVID and all the streaming shows and everything like that is there are lots of good writers and directors and actresses and actors and just the screenplay, right? There's tons of people that can do that really, really well. It's not a tiny, tiny little group of elite. It's like every town has got a bunch that are amazing.

That's an excellent point. Oh yeah, the creativity out there used to be there were gatekeepers and a pyramid. You had to rise to the top of the pyramid before anybody ever saw your work in any significant way. It's not true anymore. And a lot of money's gone out of it. I mean, I think your low-budget filmmakers are just doing it because they love to do it. It's just reason enough. But yeah, completely different. And yet the pretension and self-aggrandizement continues to a very small, to a very small audience. I'm embarrassed to think about the way I used to watch the Oscars. It's just embarrassing. Who gives a crap would any of those people think about anything? It's a perfect example of people who think emotionally versus people who think logically and we're all a mix, of course. I mean, Hollywood types, the progressive Hollywood are entirely emotional thinkers. Because somebody, surely, if anybody said,

hey, given the incredibly diverse ways people entertain themselves and how movies have less cultural cache than they used to, we probably ought to not, I don't know, punch half of America in the face every time we come face to face with them. Just for business reasons. Yeah, I'll be interested to see what the ratings were because I had the list somewhere of how much it's dropped off. I mean, they were still getting 50 million people to tune into that show as recently as 2015, I think. And then it was in the low 20s last year. Oh, but it was in the teens this year. And then it goes to YouTube in a couple of years. And then it will just disappear, really, kind of as a thing. You'll hear about it on the radio, read about it in the paper, the paper online somewhere who won one if you even click on it. But it will not be an event. If it was a mostly pretension free, just a list of, hey, here's five unbelievable documentaries. And here's the one we picked at when, but they're all wonderful. And the same thing with dramas and comedies or whatever.

I think that would get a huge audience because we're still going to take in that commercial art form. But good Lord, the form it takes is just in sufferable. We watched Marty Supreme over the weekend. The thing my high schooler hated the most was the fact that Timothy show me was having sex with Kenneth Paltrow in the movie. It's like she's like 60. And what is he 25? That's what bothered him the most movie. Kind of bothers me. I would take one for the team if she promised to keep her mouth shut. Yeah, no kidding. No kidding.
