This is an I Heart Podcast. Guaranteed Human. The Broadcasting Live from the Abraham Lincoln radio studio the George Washington Broadcast Center. Yeah, I'm strong and so get it. I'm strong and get it. And now, he is I'm strong and get it. Live from studio C, it's an Armstrong and get a replay because we're not actually here.
Is Labor Day the most misunderstood holiday we have? I mean, it's got to be the most. Cheryl, take a Monday off, but I have no idea what Labor Day means holiday. Oh, my goodness. I thought everybody knew. That's the holiday that celebrates women's contractions as they get ready to get. Everyone knows that. As I say every year, it's the unofficial end of summer and time to get serious. We're getting serious by staying home. Now enjoy an Armstrong and get a replay. Was that thing you said the other day you were texting me about? You'd rather talk about this than that. What was that? Oh, in general, I'd rather talk about it. I agree. He is than events, you know. That's why I brought it up. I agree. I have to carry news stories that nobody will talk about in two days. Yeah, and actually matter. And I believe that wholeheartedly. And I don't know if it's just like been doing this too long or my age or the media has gotten suckier. Like I turned on ABC this week.
I've been watching the Sunday talk shows for 30 years, longer. And they just have become so relevant to my life now. I turned on ABC this week. The Todd Blancherings like click, press forward. Then there are some James Colme's case about click, fast forward. What a... Nobody, I know. No real human being is thinking about this stuff. I think you've hit on something really fundamental though. When the government gets so enormous and powerful and rich, as it is now, policy doesn't matter anymore. Who's in charge of the levers is the only thing that matters. And so often, our votes are divorced from reasonable discussions about policy. And I don't mean to be super negative. Life is still worth living and I intend to have a good day today. But I'm reading Tim Sanifer's absolutely wonderful book for claiming liberty, Jefferson Adams, and the Declaration of Independence. And I cannot recommend it highly enough.
But it's impossible not to compare and contrast the philosophies that launch this country and the idea of what the government would and would not be with what it is right now and not be a little bit discouraged. Anyway, back to you. Okay, Murth, Murth first. Murth for God's sake. I was just setting up. I agree. I'd rather talk about bigger ideas or big news events. But God, the daily, nobody and nobody can be talking about some of this stuff in a week. Nobody. And cable news channels who have no viewers, I have to remind myself, talk about it all day long. You know, one of my favorite parts of Tim's book is, is, and then we can get into the Murth. The fact that all these great thinkers that we talk about from the revolutionary period, and the founding poppers, a lot of them had read each other's screens, but they'd never met. I mean, the vast majority, the Boston, the Massachusetts guys, knew the Massachusetts guys,
the Virginia guys likewise, set her up and down the coast, but they'd never met. And so when they first got together for the first continental congress, it was like, dude, big fan ears. Really, thank you. Wow. I love that piece you wrote about. Wow, I tip my feathered captain there. They'd be like, please, you're too kind. What you said about that. Oh, dude, you are the man. And there's a fair amount of that, which is kind of cool. Love your stockings, knee high. Cool. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Nice fit to them. Where do you get those? So the first professional women's pro baseball game in, since whenever that Tom Hanks movie, there's no crying in baseball. World War II era that they decided to have women's professional baseball. I think because the dudes are off fighting. Yeah. I think that's right. Anyway, they brought it back. And so here's just some of the tweets I saw. I actually have only heard a few notes of this song. So maybe it gets better, and I'm hyping it up too much, but I saw all these different people that I know.
Absolutely nothing could have prepared me for the national anthem at the women's pro baseball game. Another one, nothing will prepare for you for this. And I mean nothing. Here's another one. The worst national anthem performance in history. Here's a, here's a palette cleanser and they bring bunch of people had Whitney Houston's or Chris Stapleton's for a couple of years. That was all so good. If you need to cleanse your palette. This national anthem is sung at the Wings professional baseball league game. This is a hate crime. Okay. So having set it up that way, let's hear some of it. Oh, say can you see by the time the light was so proud we were at the twilight's last sleep in whose busy stripes and bright stars through the perilous fire. And she did the other chick who were doing this. Ah, a bus we bought.
And she kept her off guard. This is a lot of massage chair. Oh, it's an amazing. It's a piece of a massage chair. And the rock is red glare. The bombs bursting in air. Game proof. They're not part of her partner said I'm out. That I'm a black horse. Same kill. No, no, we're not what's still there. The rain does the star's been called bad. Yeah, okay. Oh, the land of the tree and the home of the rain. Oh, is anybody hurt? I would have to say I actually believe that might be the worst version that wasn't on purpose bad. People use the, uh, uh, what's your name?
Rosanne. She was trying to be as a comedy act, which she shouldn't do with the national anthem, but she wasn't trying to be great. I think she screwed up and was embarrassed and was trying to cover it with comedy. But anyway, it doesn't matter. These people were trying to sing well. Yeah, that holy cow. So my wife is in a, a women's chorus. And one of the things you've got to do is eliminate your vibrato when you're singing harmonies like that. Um, that was like the most horrendous vibrato I've ever heard in my life. She changed keys several times. It was more of like free jazz than the rock. It's red glare. Oh my gosh. That part where she bailed at one point because she ran out of air. Someone or partner who I don't think had been alerted that they were doing this until it happened. Hey, let's sing the national anthem. We're going to what? No, one, two, three. Now, I'll sing the high part. We need a minute. What high part? I was still there. Yeah, it's exactly still there. Right, right. I still there.
Still there. Okay. Do we have that last part? I mean, Oh, the land of the brain and the home of the world. The same key. I like messing with the tempo really fast and really slow. Really fast. Wow. Wow. Hey, I wish we'd gotten a chance to practice this. Oh, God, I read something. I meant to do this on the air after all the fourth of July 250th birthday stuff about the national anthem, a silly national anthem in the world ever that's been a question. It's a question. Can you see? Can you still see that flag? It's still up. We're still doing it. We're still together. We're still a country. Love that. Just, yeah, it is. That's very, very cool. Who first put music? The, the, the Blames seems to be put on F's, it's not F Scott's spiritual. It's Francis Spocky. Yes. Great. Gatsby or national anthem. Right.
The Blames seems to be put on Francis Scott. He wrote the words. He didn't write the music, right? Correct. That's an old English hymn. I can't remember the title. It shows something with a range of eight octaves to be put the words to it. I don't know. I don't know, but they're a blot in American history and I damn them. You know, I've never, you were at the same A's game. I was at Hanson a couple of weeks ago where we both noticed this port. Nice high school girl singing the national anthem. Cute, nice, won some contest or whatever, but started too high or too low or something. I mean, there's just very few people can do the, that actual language, for good. Start to start on the right key or you're doomed. DOOMED. Right. And I think sometimes people, they get, and that's what distracts you on the word. You get a certain way and you think, I think I started too high or you're getting with the high part. I'm not sure I can do this. And then you get the word wrong. Because I think I'm happy. You know, you want to hear something bizarre. I don't know why, but I was thinking the other day.
You quoted some songwriter who said, if you can sing the words to amazing grace to a different tune, you can be a songwriter. It was something to that effect. I can't remember and that stuck in my mind since you brought the quote to me years and years ago. And so I was, I don't know why I popped in my head, but the other day I was in my kitchen singing the lyrics to the Leonard Skinner classic, give me three steps to the tune of the national anthem. As one does. As one does to pass one's time. That's harder than it sounds. Yeah, that's an interesting brain trick. But that's separating different parts of your brain in a way that's pretty complicated. Oh, yeah, but it is. Oh, but it is. I did okay, but not great. So anyway, there you have it. I think that does qualify as, I don't know if it's a hate crime, but it is a hard to enjoy national anthem. Well, you know what I made it.
I don't, I don't need to just be mean to people at this point in my life. There was something about it that it was like joyful and they were enjoying themselves, even if it was just God awful that made it extra enjoyable as, as crap. Well, it seems it was a stylistic choice. I think they'd say, what do I mean? What's wrong with it? It came off exactly like I wanted to do. God, that woman's vibrato or something. It's like she's in that Japanese earthquake or something. When she bailed out on the wolves in that one phrase, that was kind of funny. And then she was like, she was singing while somebody was doing CPR on her. Pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty show. We didn't need to get this on too. Apparently, the Iowa State Fair, we played all kinds of clips along these lines over the years
where they have hog, galling competition or husband calling, I remember, bowl, belittling or whatever the, whatever they're doing. You called yourself a bowl. You couldn't mount a cow. If I gave you a step ladder, those are your testies. This is a mom calling competition among kids. Mom, look at that again, my friend. Mom went to dinner already. Mom, mom, mom, I see stuff. Don't make me call grandma. Mom, I cleaned up my room. Mom, come here. My face station's not working in the four night update is in two minutes. Mom, mom, Tina. Yeah. That gave me a reaction. Put me on edge. Yes, I think it's because sometimes if I get like five of those in a 10 minute period, at one point, I'll have to say there's going to be a day where you're really going to miss.
There's nobody out there calling dad. But sometimes like what now? What could possibly have happened since the last minute you needed me? That just made me really happy for some reason that my son Van is not talking yet. Yeah. Give it a minute. Yeah. So two things I want to mention. One, my arm is way soar than I thought it would be from getting my first shingle shot last night. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I was at the CVS and I wasn't on my mind at all. I'm not an anti-vaxer. I am an anti-tasker as I've mentioned over the years. The reason I didn't get some of my COVID shots wasn't because I strongly against, I've done the research or whatever. I got a drive over there and make an appointment. It seems like a lot of work. I'm busy. And that's why I've been with the shingles thing even though everybody has warned me, oh, you do not want to get it. It's horrible. And my doctor when I did my physical couple weeks ago, the disease, not the shot. Yeah. Yeah. The disease of shingles.
You did not want to get it's horrible. It's like being tortured for weeks. Wow. Anyway, as there and I actually had time to kill, I dropped my kid off at guitar lesson. And I was kind of like dragging around the CVS like the magazine rack and there's nothing here. I was just trying to kill time and it was, you know, shingles shots. So many different kinds of bandages. Hmm. Different shoes. Sizes. Shapes. Oh, those are waterproof. And then I saw the sign that said no walk, walk ins available, no appointment needed. Shingles shots. There's nobody there and I thought, I got to get that done. No, so I walked up. I said, what do you got to do to get what's a guy got to do to get a shingles shot around here? And they said nothing. And so I like signed a piece of paper and went in there and got jabbed and they said, your arm might be sore. It's quite sore. I'm interested in that. I always get the, you know, some people react blah, blah, blah from flu shots and whatever. And I almost never have much of a reaction. Shingles is different. It's a plan is in the second one. Plan on being down the next day.
Oh my God. You might not be and you know, Tylenol, whatever it can help, but it's, it causes a, a significant immune reaction. Wow. I usually ignore side effects stuff because I just don't get them. I just my whole life. I just, whatever you say, this might happen. That might, yeah, it happens other people ain't going to happen to me. And it usually doesn't, but this one did. And I'll keep that in mind for shot two, which comes like in six months or something. That's, it says a number of weeks, but yeah, it's, it's significant, but it's well worth that I'm telling you. Two friends who've had cases of shingles and it, you know, I don't want to compare it to anything horrific to anyway, it's, it's horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible. It will ruin your life for a few to several weeks. I was going to talk about this maybe a later. I've joined the weighted vest crowd because those are very popular right now. You probably see those. The gym Katie says. They, all the cool people that the gym have the weighted vest on all the time. And I'd read about it into the root, the research and I walk every single day.
So I thought, I'll get the weighted vest. So comes in a couple of days and I'll try it out. So guy, my gym that does pull ups wearing one to those. Oh, yeah. I know, I know. I know. And it's not their fault. They're super strong, but they know it there. It's like being the hot chick walking through the room and nobody's looking. You're over there with a 40 pound vest on cranking out pull ups because your own body weight isn't enough for you. Some of us who can't, you can barely do one ever with our own body. We got the 40 pound vest. Oh, yeah. I'm crying. I had to put extra weight on because they're just a little too easy for me. I shot up. But yes, the weighted vest thing is a big thing. Some people just wear them all the time. I bought this really slim fitting one that like is supposed to not get near way much. And some people just wear them kind of all the time. Yeah, I do too, except I didn't buy one. I just got fatter. So I'm in effect wearing a weighted vest and to help strengthen my legs. That's a good positive spin on a little extra weight is I'm getting more cardio by carrying around this weight.
You should look at my calves. They're beautiful. I would do it myself a favor. I'll let you know how that goes if I think it's a good idea or not. Where my knees all blow out in the first day. Kapow Kapow. What are you going to do? Yeah. I'm strong and getting so strong and getting. The arm strong and getting so before we get into our use of clawed to point out our flaws, this about and thropic and that is the company that is behind clawed the chatbot and AI and Elon said and thropic has got the best AI out there a couple of weeks ago. Had you heard this and thropic, which is going public is about to tell investors that it expects to generate $30 trillion in revenue. That's what it expects and thropic expects to generate $30 trillion in revenue to give
you context to that number. The Wall Street Journal points out the 191 technology companies in the S&P 1500 brought in 2.4 trillion in revenue last year added together. Go to God. So almost 200 tech companies in the market last year generated 2.4 and thropic says it's going to generate 30 trillion. If that happens, obviously all the rules of investing and economics and everything are up in the air and you got to refigure them all out, right? Right. I mean, if you had money in that company and that happened, would you need to, I don't even know what it would do to your investment. I know. I'm taking all of that with a short. Of course. Obviously, but I would seem if they're exaggerating by 30 times it's still an amazing deal.
Invest in my hot dog stand, we could make $40 billion. I mean, I don't even know how to, and the person said, oh, no, no, my hot dogs are so amazing. The, I would think, I don't know how to process this. I don't know what to say. I don't want to. All right. As the free press wrote, blown my mind. Right. As the free press wrote, hmm. Okay. Well, $30 trillion, what kind of one world government is quad planning tune in next week for episode one of my 75 part series on the quad occupied government? But no, kidding. What kind of power would a company generate $30 trillion? Well, if they had power because they'd made hot dogs that delicious that they sold that many of them, that would be enormous power. But if it was the power of information and computing and communication and that's, no, it's, it's a dystopian nightmare. Somebody's got to put the, the paddles to George Orwell, wake him up and say, hey, we need you again. How about old fashioned lobbying?
They could give each Congressperson a million dollars. And it wouldn't, wouldn't be a drop on the bucket. No, a bill, they could give them 10 billion dollars. True. Good point. She made a Christmas. Do you have a point to make before I move on? I don't. I have zero points. Okay. So I wish I had more confidence in how many of you you're, you're using chatbots at all. I bring it up with some people and they're like, oh, yeah, I've been using forever. They're fantastic. And then I mentioned it to some other people and they not only don't use them, but some of you have such a negative reaction to anything that is a chatbot. It just like makes you angry that anybody would ask a chatbot a question and then listen to it. So I don't quite get, I mean, it doesn't have to be like therapy stuff, marriage advice stuff. If you ask it like, if you ask Cod, like I said the other day, I'm hating how much money I'm spending on rent would it be a better idea to buy a house at this point?
It did all kinds of research instantly on California, the housing market, all kinds of different stuff and came back to me with actually an article from the Wall Street Journal from the other day that I had missed where they said it may not be a good idea to buy a house again in California for many, many years and explain why. But anyway, there's all kinds of stuff like that that these chatbots are brilliant at. Trust us. They're incredible. Anyway, if you use quad or chat GPT or whatever for lots of different things, question about your health, question about your relationships, question about your job, dealing with your boss, financial planning, whatever the hell it is, it is compiling a whole bunch of information about you. I can't even imagine over a decade or longer what this will be like when one of these chatbots has all this information about me. But somebody told me the other day, hey, here's something fun, but buckle up. Oh boy, fun. That's a word.
Ask Cod, what are my character flaws? Be honest. And then it goes through all your different stuff and hits you with that information. And I've had a pretty darned interesting. Some of it was revealing. Some of it was a little painful but true. Katie, I know you did the same thing before I get to mind. You want to lay out something? Yeah, I don't know what I was expecting, but if you were to ask a human that, it would probably take a moment to tell you, chat GPT was like, oh, no, I got it. Sure. Here you go. Yeah, even if you told your parent or friend, I really want you to be honest with you. They still would like kind of slowly couch it something. Well, sometimes you have a tendency and don't take this wrong because you have lots of good go. You know, that sort of thing. And you're right. Yeah, it's Cod and it's like, okay, here's five thousand words on your problems instantly. I'll put the main issue in bold and then I'll tell you all the details about it right under me. It's like, okay. How do you want this organized in order of what a douche you are or alphabetically?
Okay. So I did that and just a couple like the first one it hit me with, which was pretty damn good. I probably do do this. You mistake insight for change. It said to me, it said, you're unusually good at naming your own patterns. And to you, the naming feels like progress. It isn't unless you do something. You haven't done anything. That's some straight talk. Yeah. You can describe the ambivalence with real precision and from all different views, but you don't ever do anything. Basically what it said. Wow. Which I thought was really, really interesting. You mistake insight for change. I'm not going to hit you with it. Some of these would be confusing to you. Some of them are really actually just too personal. I thought this was kind of interesting. One of the problems with the whole chatbot thing is it said, you asked questions.
You already know their answer and it gave me some example and it was stuff that I do for the show where I will go in and say, why do some people think that Clancy woman didn't kill her kid? You know, whatever I'm getting, I'm gathering information for a segment on the radio show. So I had to tell Clod, hey, I do a radio talk show and all of those questions are about, I said, oh, okay, I get it completely. So I will leave all those out when you're doing that. You're just gathering. It actually said show prep. It used the term which was, wow. Wow. Yeah. You're, this one was really good. This one was good. Your attention goes where it goes and I won't use the particular, but it hit me with a couple of crisis points of my life and it said, you've asked me many questions about this one and not one about this one. Just pointing out that clearly this one is a prior to you and I was like, how I ask so many questions about this one and not this, which is clearly more important. Why have I done that? That's really weird. Wow.
This is, this is almost a little disturbing, useful, certainly, but how does it know that? Wow. It was right about that. It was right about a lot of them. And it did say at the end, two honest caveats, I only see what you bring here, which skews toward the hard stuff. You know, you're not bringing your whole life to me on a daily basis, which I would say as you use it more and more over many, many, many years, it is going to have more of your life and more ability to lay out what's wrong with you. Yes, Katie. You only bring me part of your life. So I only know how screwed up you are for part of it. Yeah. I mean, mine mindset the same thing, but it's, if you choose to do this, it is humbling. Yeah, it's not a nothing. Yeah. So I'll tell you, I hesitated to do this partly because I didn't think I would get a very satisfying answer in your similar perfect in every way.
And it's really quite exemplary. Is that what it's about? Please teach me how to be more like you. No, no, I was expecting kind of a complete answer. And it was just three words. You're a dick. No, I did. I did it in the classic, you know, modern snarky style. Three words, you period, next line, are period. You know, all dead. Yeah. Actually, I'm a little disappointed and slightly confused. I said, in our conversations, have you perceived any character flaws in me? And of course, that I appreciate the honesty in this question, but I want to be straight with you. I don't think I'm well positioned to answer it in the ways it sounds like you're asking. Few reasons why I only see what comes up in our chats. Character judgments about real people aren't something I do well or should be doing casually. I don't have the standing to diagnose flaws in someone from scattered conversation topics. And if I reach for something anyway, I'd likely be patterned matching on thin evidence and dressing it up as insight, which isn't actually useful to you.
But then I thought, well, wait a minute. I did have one like actually using it as counseling for an issue at one point, but no, I can't find that chat. How often do you use it? Like how much do you use it like personal stuff at all? Personal stuff is opposed to comparing two guitars for me. Yeah. Oh, once a quarter. Okay. See, once a month. I'm doing it like daily. So there's just a lot more information to work from. And it's funny. I did the same thing on chat GPT because I do multiple chat bots to see if the answers are different and sometimes they're quite different, sometimes they're very much same. But chat GPT had basically the same summary of my character flaws about my, I have a lot of insight into my flaws and problems. The problem may sometimes be that you examine yourself relentlessly and gather all this data and then don't do anything. So both of them basically said the same thing, really good at observing problems from
all different angles and bringing all the information and saying, okay, now we know that and moving on to something else that I'm ever doing. Which kind of fish. I wish these were, were dated because I know precisely when I had the conversation. And now I can't find it and I can retype it. Well, no, I couldn't because I'm not. Maybe you know the search. There's a search on. Yeah, there's a search on. Yeah, and I just, I can't remember exactly how I phrased it and I haven't found it yet. But I'm going back as far as I can on Claude and because it was like, at Christmas time last year that I was asking the question and well, I don't be in here somewhere because the farthest back it goes is what's a good turkey size for 11 people? Maybe ask Claude, hey, we had a conversation at Christmas last year and ask you a. And so when you asked for your character flaws, it said, your love of fried birds is dominates your life. On hand, perhaps find something else to focus on.
Why don't you Google that? I'm really sophisticated and you're asking me a question that's stupid. Man, for stuff like that, it is so good. No wonder Google, how is Google handling this in terms of the drop in revenue? I've read the numbers. They're catastrophic. Why would I ever Google anything again in my life when I can get such good information from Claude or chat GPT and just keep asking follow up questions and not a bunch of ads yet, but not a bunch of ads that are not even what I wanted. It's really interesting. Oh, I finally found a chat. It's funny, but it still said, I don't have enough info to go on. Which is interesting. And I have a child's understanding of how these large language models work, but it is somewhat astonishing to the point of being disturbing that it said to you, sure, we can get into this. And it said to me, you know, you ask me about guitars and what radius of table is best for a four person card game? I don't freaking know you like turkey and cards.
But it perceived that quote unquote. And I know Paulo don't lecture me. It doesn't perceive anything. It's a series of circuits. I know, I know, I know. But it seems as though it does. It's like if you know, I met a guy on the golf course the other day, we hit it off like crazy. Really like the guy respect him. Can't wait to I hope we can be friends going forward. But if you were to ask me, Joe, what do you think my flaws are? I'd be like, dude, I don't know. Right. Right. Exactly. That we have a similar, not super deep relations. Well, it's so good sometimes and you all should try it if you're not. I mean, I know some people are hostile to the chatbots for divers. But like, I've gotten acquaintances really struggling right now in life and I'm concerned about them. But I laid out a lot of the specifics of that person and it pointed out what was the most significant part of their crisis that I would have never guessed. And it was completely right.
It's just, yeah, I find it quite amazing. Yeah, Carl Armstrong and Joe. The Armstrong and Getty Show. The Armstrong and Getty Show. What do you know if you're a progressive women's organization in New York City on National Women's Day or International Women's Day and you want to celebrate it by letting out all your outrage at Trump in the modern world. You do this. Why are the birth rates falling like that? I know. That's more than enough. Are people that do therapeutic screams or that sort of thing and then there are people that have jobs and raise kids. Right. There's very little overlap, very little overlap.
Got this note from Ryan and Sacramento. We're talking about AI as we do a lot and how it's going to eliminate all the jobs as Jack mentioned and we have gone on and on about how few deny people purpose and you know, a reason to get up in the morning. They will actually be miserable and become drunks and drug addicts and not become happy poets or whatever. Who's going to read your poetry? Everybody's writing poetry. Anyway, let's see. So Ryan writes, Joe is joke that he is afraid he'll be the last human to die right before humanity unlocks the key to immortality. That's true. Ryan, I said that for a long time, but yeah, that's my greatest fear. Thanks for reminding me. My fear is that I will be the last human or generation of humans obliging to work for living. You both have expressed the need for purpose. We all seem to share and I agree on that point. Why must that purpose be tied to a meaningless job? I work in a blue collar environment of about 1500 employees and there's something we all want to be anywhere else. I don't know about their motivations.
But for myself, the obligation to show up and punch the clock for eight, 10 or 12 hours a day is what prevents my pursuit of unprofitable fulfillment. You know, hobbies for psychopaths that would be like to show up somewhere and do meaningless labor. Oh, for psychopaths that would like to show up somewhere and do meaningless labor for hours and days on end, I wouldn't stand in their way to the suggestion of do something else. There's not a job on this earth that I want to be obligated to devote the majority of my time in life too. I'd be shocked if that was a minority opinion. Big however, for all the boasting that I will provide the pathway to universal high income, I don't really believe in it. Private businesses may become enriched by the use of AI and Jack, you've made this point many times, but they aren't going to become absurdly altruistic. The idea of governments confiscating distributed wealth is both repugnant and historically catastrophic. I guess I'll keep clocking in. Yeah. They always skip that part. But um, PRTS, keep returning those sausages. Thank you, Ryan. To the whole we need a job to have a sense of purpose thing that we talk about. I have heard that described as, you know, you have job fulfillment privilege.
Yes. A lot of people can I have work jobs like this? I've worked jobs that you lay there in a Sunday night and think, I don't know if I can do this another week. Because it is not only not fulfilling, it's just awful. There's nothing you like about it. The only thing you're getting out of it is a paycheck and maybe insurance, the only thing. Everything else about you hated it. So the idea that, oh no, AI is going to take that away from me and I won't have a purpose anymore. Yeah. Shut up. All right. When I was standing there in an aisle of a store because if I was caught sitting, I'd be fired waiting for a customer and customer to need anything. Yeah, that was not super fulfilling. And the idea of that going away, going to have a negative effect on your life. Shut up. Oh, no. Right. Yeah, it's a good point, Ryan. Thank you for, you know, I try really hard to think about stuff like that as we're doing the show and getting ready for the show. All right. In what ways am I an outlier and not have those blind spots, but that's, you know, what?
That was a bit of a spanking, Ryan and well administered.
