They're fun. You get to hear a little bit about what's going on with me. Instead of interviewing someone and then they go, man, you talk about yourself too much. Fucking fuck you. Fucking people. I want to get into this right now. Last week I told you about ear go. I had ear go on the hearing aid episode. And I know a lot of you have some hearing issues like myself.

Let's wipe out the stigma of the hearing aid. I got glasses. You can see them on my face right here. Nobody's going like, look at this dummy. That's the weirdness about the hearing aids. People are like, oh, he wears hearing aids. He must be dumb, which is insane because that means most of the world is dumb because this loud world that we live in and, you know, rock and roll motorcycles, headphones. I always got headphones on at the gym. Everything just destroys our hearing. And ear go is going to help you out. Ear go dot me slash Dean. Use the code. Oh, nope. The code is Dean 360. That is the code. Dean 360. D-E-A-N 360. Get yourself a discount. A lot of people out there rocking them. A lot of your favorite band guys are rocking them. Charlie Benete from Anthrax is how I found out about them. And I'm glad I did. Check them out. Okay, we got that out of the way. Let's dive in to the episode, my friends. First up, I want to wish Mr. Bill Burr a happy birthday. We're just coming up here this week. And I'm going to be on the road, so I won't see him. I will be in Santa Rosa on Thursday and two shows in Alameda Friday and Saturday. Shows are on the website, deandaleray.com. But his birthday is coming up. And I wanted to, you know, figure out something cool to do. I shot him over the Brady Bunch house was for sale. And he said, dude, I got to see that. So my good friend Vivian Yoon, who's one of the best real estate agents in Los Angeles, set it up. You can't just go to the Brady Bunch house because it's for sale. It's 5.5 million. You can't be like, Hey, let's go see that because the entire Los Angeles and people from the United States would go. That's how popular this house is. It's the second most photographed home in America. Right after the White House, which is wild. It's in Los Angeles. It's in Studio City. And it's on this really mellow street. Just a total Studio City kind of a suburbie looking neighborhood, beautiful street, quiet. And so Vivian set it up. And I thought this would be cool for Bill to see. And also I wanted to see it bad. I had walked by it for a couple of years. It's in my neighborhood. And I walk Gertie by it all the time, which by the way, I will get into that in a minute. Gertie turned seven a few days ago. Gertie is seven. A lot of birthdays this month. So I've walked by it for years. The first time I walked by it. I froze in my tracks because I didn't know the Brady Bunch house was there. I'm just walking down the street. And this is how embedded it is in my brain. And most people, I think, in their fifties, late forties, 50 year olds, right in there. They all watched the shit out of the Brady Bunch. It's so wild to think about how simple life was you just come home from school. And they call that like fucking latchkey kids. I never heard that term until a couple years ago latchkey. I guess like, you know, your parents, your mom, my mom was, you know, a single parent. And she'd just be at work all day. So you come home from school and you eat some fucking whatever's in the fridge, peanut butter and jelly sandwich. You sit on the couch and you watch TV. And you watch the fuck out of it till you go to bed. It is crazy how much TV I watch growing up. And now I watch barely any. I mean, in the last 14 years, whatever, since I started comedy, I watched no TV. I watched Breaking Bad, all of those. I watched all of the Sopranos. I watched all of the wire. And I watched what else? Something else. And really, that's about all the TV I've really watched over the years. You dude, you watching Succession? Dude, you watching Better Call Saul? Dude, are you watching Euphoria? Dude, if I watched every fucking show people recommended to me, I would be the worst comedian and I'm trying to get good. I couldn't even imagine just sitting around watching TV. One, all your material would be about whatever the fuck you watch. And that's what everybody else's material is going to be about. Dude, you watching Succession, man? You know? And then you're getting ready to go on stage and the guy in front of you is doing his Succession joke. And then he's doing his fucking Better Call Saul season finale joke. And then he does a call back to that Tiger King during COVID. Dude, you watching Tiger King? That was the good thing about not doing comedy, doing COVID. Didn't have to hear any Tiger King jokes. Anyway, I've watched the fuck out of TV. Like crazy, man. It was the Brady Bunch, the Partridge family, Leave It to Beaver, Adam 12, Gunsmoke, Perry Mason, Sanford and Son, the Jeffersons, what else? I wasn't flipping you off, sorry, guys. You know, what else? Adam 12, I said that one, yeah. Oh, Ironside, the guy was like a lawyer in a wheelchair. And these shows were all on after school and they're on some fucking network now. I don't know what it's called, but once in a while we're on the road and Bill would go, oh, this is a good channel. We're in the green room and it has all that classic shows. And it's wild to think about the Brady Bunch. It didn't matter if you were like a crazy outlaw rock and roller or you were like a Jesus Bible freak or you were a stoner or did a little meth, whatever. Everybody watched the Brady Bunch. And I don't get it because it's such a fucking straight show. It's just so weird. You know the theme song. You know the story. The fucking Mike loses his wife. Carol loses her husband. We don't know what happened to her husband. You know, they never say all kinds of weird shit when they're doing a pilot. You know, you throw up a pilot and then you're going like, yeah, this ain't working. We got to just get rid of that. Like the girls had a cat fluffy. It was only on one episode. Never came around. The boys had a dog tiger. And there it is, man. Mike is an architect, which I would have got along with him. Great. Now I'd be like, Mike, what about Frank Lloyd Wright? You know, how about Lautner? Neutra? You into those guys? Oh yeah, I hung with those guys. You know, maybe Mike hung with those dudes. Who's an LA architect? I do remember the one where he lost the plans at Magic Mountain. I remember a shitload of these episodes. I seen them all and it didn't matter if it came on and you're like, oh, I've seen this one. It did not fucking matter. You would just watch it. The Brady's go to Hawaii. This is great. The Tiki fucking little doll. The bad luck Tiki. Oh my God. The Brady's go to Magic Mountain. The volcano in the backyard. That's my favorite. They made the fucking like a homemade volcano. Then the girls were in the back, you know, whatever playing four square, some bullshit. And then Peter and Bobby, I think it where they put these two wires together would shot lava up on the girls. And then of course, the fucking football of the nose on Marsha. All of them. The playing ball in the house. My point is, I'm walking by the fucking house. I don't know it's in my neighborhood. And it stops me in my tracks. I get goosebumps on my actual goosebumps. I'm like, holy shit. That's the fucking Brady bunch house. I Google it. Had no idea there's a security guard in a car there. They have security 24 seven, three security guards exchange shifts and they just sit in their fucking car for eight or nine hours in front of this house. There's so much to talk about on this house, you know, because I Google found out that HGTV had bought it. They had battled Lance from in sync Lance Bass over it. I don't know five, six years ago it went on the market for like a million bucks. Now the Brady bunch house was only used for the outside and the rest was a set around the corner on the lot. So what you see is the house, but that wasn't what was inside the house. That's the old Hollywood shuffle. That was totally different than the house. And so when the house went on for sale. The family had lived in it for 60 years it was a piece of shit there the guy told us, and that it was only 2000 square feet. It was just all run down but Lance Bass and HGTV went out at HGTV one, and they decided to do a TV show with the Brady bunch cast redoing the inside of the house to make it exactly what it was like on TV, which is almost impossible at first when you think about it because it's, you know, multiple bedrooms and multiple different rooms they got the TV then you ever go over to your rich friends house when you're young and they got like a TV room you're like TV room what the fuck is that we had one room TV was there we ate in that room we slept in that room sometimes that was it there was no other rooms had your bedroom and you had the fucking other room. So anyway, it's up for sale 5.5 million and they the TV show you can see it somewhere I watched a bunch of it on YouTube. I read in it. It's unfucking believable so it was a dream of mine to go in it if I could ever go in there and see that. You know you talk to the security guard try to bribe with with a couple fucking donuts and some tickets to the comedy store or something. Do come on man. Here's a couple ticks to the comedy store just let me in there. No way. So it's up for sale and Vivian gets it hooked up. It's up for bill to see it like this is a cool kind of thing. He's done a lot of cool shit for me. So there we are. We're in front of the house. We're about to go in the guy that showed it to us was really fucking cool is wearing a Rolex Explorer. Which by the way, I got the I got the swatch Omega collab finally the got the Mars one, which those have been out about a year now and they're so hard to get still, but nobody's really talking about them anymore. I put a rubber strap on it there it is right there. And man these are cool as shit. It's just a speed master with a collab with swatch made of plastic but it's fucking cool. So that guy opens the door. It's me Bill and Vivian. We walk in. We went around the side actually we went around the side we didn't go through the front door. We went around this backyard there it is you're in the backyard Tigers land where the kids were fucking throwing the football and the volcano you're back there. We opened up the slider door we went into the kitchen it's just like the TV show. Remember they went out the side there from the kitchen. We walk in there's the kitchen. It's fucking insane. It's orange and like seafoam green for Micah. It's got all the vintage appliances, and it's it's unreal that's the first thing we see and our minds are blown. It's just like no way. And to the left is the TV room for the kids where they sat around watch TV. And then right behind the kitchen is a little hallway Alice's bedroom and chill area, probably where her and Sam sneak a little making out once in a while. Her boyfriend Sam the butcher the show is twisted. It's crazy how fucking embedded it is in our hearts and our brains. Just unreal fun TV only on for five seasons wasn't even a success until it went into reruns and became one of the biggest popular shows of all time in the rerun era. The kitchen and then the dining room then the guy takes us into the living room. Of course the living room is the most famous part of the house with that incredible mid century type stairway with the cool mid century kind of motif of wood and orange paneling and green paneling the photo is in my Instagram it's me bill and Vivian Vivian is Asian. And of course Bill and I, white and bald. And I was, I said that if the Brady Bunch happened right now, this would be like the woke bunch, they would make the Brady Bunch woke. You know, it'd be like we need a gay guy Dean you're a gay guy and and bill you're married to an Asian woman. And, and then we got the, you know, adopted kids. The Brady Bunch is all adopted now and they're from different parts of the world. This is a Timmy. He's from Saigon. And this is Stuart. And he is from Canada. And this is Jimmy. And Jimmy is from the UK is just all kinds of different races and, and, and, and, you know, everything different religions and sexual holidays, you know, it's so funny to think about the woke bunch. Anyway, so there we were on that iconic stairway we went up the stairway. Now the house was a real small two story the original house but the set made it look huge so they made this thing huge from 2000 square feet to 4500 square feet. It was fucking insane you go up and there you are the girls room it's all pink Cindy, Jen and Marsha's rooms, little beds and photos. The whole place is decked out like it's Brady Bunch, you know, TV. It's like family photos. They got all kinds of stuff from key episodes like when Jen wrote, wrote the dude from the monkeys. And remember he came down that that's there the handwritten letter, and then the Jack and Jill bathroom meaning it's a bathroom in between the boys room and the girls room you go through the Jack and Jill into the boys room and you know what is the bunk beds Bobby's don't don't sit on my bed note and all this shit. It's insane. You're now you are knee deep in the Brady's. You can't even fucking believe it there's so many emotions flying over me like wow this is just fucking nuts. It's so simple. There's no talks of vaccines and fucking politics and you suck and fuck you. Any of that you're just in this kind of pure world of the Brady's. It's fucking nuts. Oh, I just remember there was one I think it was Stabler, Ken Stabler some football player came over there's so many fun ones. Anyway, so when we go downstairs again, I have to see in that we go into Mike study memory had the study where it has the architectural, the drawing table. That's all there there's like plans, all looking like blueprints. And then we go across the hall to their room. And this was a edgy show. It was the first time you saw a couple in bed together. They were embedding and remember the like leaving the beaver and all that shit separate beds for the parents. The parents were doing any fucking they had to pop over real quick on to the little twin bed, get some magic going and then get back into their bed. But now with the Brady's, they were in their bed fucking. They're letting you know she'd always be wearing like a nightgown. That is so 1969 that's like whoa man that ain't cool. And some parts of America right now they would think that ain't cool. You know, I don't know man. Jesus doesn't like that. The Bible does not permit that. So they were in their room. And oh I didn't know this I forgot this. The guy said that back then TV wasn't allowed to show fucking bathrooms. What about that rule you can't show a bathroom on TV in 1969. That is crazy to me. So then we went down into this other hall. Now, the last season, Greg Brady felt he was older now and he didn't want to share a room with his little punk brothers. He wanted his own room. So they made the attic into his little stoner den he had like beads and he's wearing glasses and far out man. He was embarrassed to be around his family for like a couple episodes, and then he realized he missed his square family, because the cool people, no matter how many beads and patchouli oil and glasses he wore, they didn't accept him. They're like you suck you family boy, get out of here. And then, oh there was that one episode where Peter punched that guy in the bully in the face. The bully was like hey you and Peter just punched him, a lot of memories. So we were in their bill and Vivian after a little while they're like this is this is kind of creepy I don't know why they thought it was creepy. But they're like, this is kind of weird and I was like this is fucking cool. But you got to think man, there's no way anyone could buy that, and live in it, because you'd have to have security or big gate up, because it's the most photographed house. And in this fucking tick tock world, everyone in their mom would drive up, get out and be on your front door like tick tock and like the baby bunch. The baby bunch. There's like three in the morning they're all fucked up on ecstasy, singing the Brady Bunch in front of your front door. And also if you're anybody that has 5.5 million, they're going to know you're rich, because all the other houses in the neighborhood are like a million, a mill five or something. So you'd be like this fuckers rich, let's rob them. And next thing you know you got a once upon a time and Hollywood type of Manson thing, they're hopping the fence and kidnapping you. You know, in this crazy world of follow home robberies and insanity out there. So you're fucked you can't buy it. You can't live in it. You can buy it but you can't live in it. I thought well this would be the ultimate Airbnb 20 grand weekends people would do it. You get like 10 people they all go in, and they stay in the place it's huge it has tons of bedrooms. It could easily sleep 20 people. And you have a Brady Bunch fantasy weekend or whatever. But anything you did, you couldn't trash this place. It's beautiful it's a piece of art inside. So it would be a great Airbnb, but all the neighbors I guarantee would sign some kind of petition and say fuck you with your Airbnb and your party house. So that would be screwed. The other idea is to buy it and just rent it out for TV commercials and photo shoots and specialty stuff like say Rolex wanted to show off a new watch and they have a private party in there. And you have like, you know, food and booze and they show off new watch any kind of high end shit, a movie premiere party, whatever, but any kind of shit the neighbors are going to be furious so I really don't know what they're going to be able to do with this house. And now I'm obsessed with following it because first of all I love architecture. I love real estate, and I want to find out what happens with this house. So we went there and it was, it was really fun. And I'll post up the link for the house for sale so you can see all the photos. Really cool. They only let us take one photo we took it in the stairway. And thank you Vivian for getting us in there. And it was cool to do that with the bill. Good good times for sure. And as well those old TV shows man Partridge family was the other one, which was a family with no dad, you know, no fucking dad, and Ruben can cave their manager it was kind of like a semi dad. And, and that was the other show, which was like a family show, other than you know like leave it to beaver and all those shows these were just different they were 60s flavored. Okay, you know. So, interesting, interesting time to check out that Brady bunch house. I want to give a shout out right now to the new patreoners new patreoners. Thank you for joining the patreon.com slash Dean Del Ray for all your bonus episodes and zoom fest and all that. I hope you guys are digging the patreon I've been doing a lot of bonus episodes on there which is cool. Gertie is over here snoring Gertie is seven. She is seven. Yeah, man. God, such a great job. And we had the wild, wild, what was it 40 year anniversary of the us festival. That happened last week. And I talked about it when I dropped the triumph, Mike Levine episode. I'm still blown away by the S festival. I watched a lot of it over the weekend, the three day weekend. And, man, it is just, it is just a killer. It is just a killer. Make sure you check out all the footage of that on YouTube. A lot of good stuff on there man. A lot of good stuff. So, Josh freeze. He's the new drummer of the food fighters. I knew he was the new drummer. I could tell a long time ago. And I kept texting him. I would text him like once every few weeks and be like ready for the foods tour he'd be doing shit like showing a drum kit on his Instagram I go is that the one for the foods tour. And he was just, I mean, imagine, you know, because he had his 50th birthday a few months ago, and I couldn't go because I was on the road. But some friends of mine went and you know, Grohl was there. Everybody was there. It was a huge fucking birthday party. Bob Rock was there. All these big, big celebrities. Josh freeze is a big deal. He's played with everybody. He's one of the best drummers ever. And which by the way he's done the show I think two times. And, you know, he quit sting. He was playing drums with the offspring. And you started to see things were happening. All of a sudden the offspring had a different drummer. Diva wasn't quite sure who was going to play drums with them. And you're like, All right. And, you know, there's no other drummer to me that would do that good justice other than Josh breeze or Brad Wilk from rage, which is an interesting thing to me because I really can't believe that Joe or Brad has not been snatched up with somebody. You know, because this guy is one of the best drummers out there. And you know, who knows what's going on with rage. But in the meantime, you know he did rage he did audio slave, he played on the Sabbath record the last one. And he just kills. And I was always, always furious that black Sabbath did not take him out on that end tour, because this fucking guy's groove and feel is incredible. And he's an amazing hang. He's not a fuck up he's in shape he looks great he plays like a fucking killer. I mean this guy is hall of fame. First pick if I needed a drummer in a band I'd be like oh yeah let's just get Brad you know him for that kind of music like food fighters. Oh my God. Now for kind of a classic rock. It's Steve Gorman for me all day long. When I think about crushing classic rock drummers type of AC DC. It's just that kind of rock. Bring on Steve Gorman, but for funky groove and kick ass vibe. It's Brad Wilk or Josh freeze. And I would probably go with Brad, because Josh, he you know he's got like 8 million gigs he could do. So, man congrats though he's out there killing it. He's got the big smile on the face playing the fuck out of the food fighters. I don't really listen to the food fighters. But just never really a band that I got into I know they got some great songs and I hear the songs and I'm like yeah that guy can write a song, but I really love the danger of Nirvana, and I love the danger of that kind of three piece that was going on and and food fighters you know fuck man they've been around I think like 25 years now or something and congrats to that. I mean they're an arena rock band, which is almost impossible to do an arena, anything arena rock band arena like a comedian arena hip hop arena is hard to do but it just the food fighters I don't own any of the records, but I've seen him a few times live my buddy Rami Jaffe's in the band, and I love what Dave girls done with Queens of the Stone Age, and also the films that he did on Sound City, and also that other, what is it Sonic Highways I thought that was fantastic, the documentary of different music communities, like Seattle, San Fran, the desert all of that, and the DC one that was one of my favorites. Yeah Josh Freeze is in there, and that's of course last week's news but I still wanted to talk about it because Josh is a friend of mine, and it was so funny man. And this text is like all I wrote was oh yeah, you know, and then he texted me back my songs, because that was a joke I had like staying when he he does the residency in Vegas. He just puts up there my songs, and these aren't Stuart Copeland songs. These aren't Andy summer songs these are my songs just kind of blew my mind when I saw it. I still think one of the coolest things I've seen in the last 10 years was stings rehearsal in Vegas private rehearsal, like a dress rehearsal for his residency in Vegas Josh invited me I sat in like the third row. He already went. We're just in the seat, watching sting just destroy it sting just looking great sounding. I mean, exact to the fucking records, playing the shit out of the base the guy just a fantastic human. So, congrats to Josh freeze. And man, I'm sure his bank account is just went up a few notches, and also a little peace of mind like, well I know I'm going to be working for the next year at the highest level, which is cool. And Josh has never done anything for money man. I mean he was playing with diva, because he loved diva. You know, that is fucking cool. Josh was a huge diva fan like me and then he ends up playing drums and diva. That's like that that's beyond cool. So, there you go but man I hope Brad will land something right. I mean it would be so cool to see Brad land something. I don't even know what would be the great gig for him but here's a guy years are going by, and he can play the shit out of the drums. We got to get him in something man. We got to get on Queens has got feud or so that's taken and foods is good. Zeppelin ain't ever going out. He'd be interested in Zeppelin. It would have been great to see him in Aerosmith. You know, they Joey Kramer's not doing this last tour. Aerosmith's on their farewell tour. Holy shit. They're never going to play again. I better get a fucking ticket. Man, a farewell tour. Bands wouldn't call it a farewell tour if it wasn't a farewell tour, right? I mean no way would they do that. Aerosmith Black Crows. Aerosmith farewell tour coming up. Black Crows are on it. Good Bill probably won't go. I've seen both those bands. Both of them. Seriously I've seen the Black Crows. I think it's 70, 75 times I've said it before. I added it up years ago. I can't really remember. And Aerosmith, I've seen them every tour since 78. I've seen them all man. 78. One of my favorites was, other than Day in the Greens, was, oh, they did the Back in the Saddle slash Done with Mears tour. That was a fucking tour because they were still kind of junked up and they opened with Back in the Saddle and it was just killer. Done with Mears underrated record. I've said it over and over and over on here over the 11 years, 700 episodes, Ted Templeman produced fantastic record. I don't even think the band likes it. They don't play very many or any songs off it. I love Sheila. I love my fist, your face. The whole record is killer. I love the album cover with the reversed fucking shit. That's a great record. It's always weird when a band has this killer record that it didn't sell a lot so then they just slag it. I never understood that, you know, but I do love that record. So yeah man, Aerosmith going out. Are you going to go see that? Are you going to go see Aerosmith on the last run with the black crows? I'm trying to see other things man. I really want to try to see that Les Quay pull out there doing the, what's he doing? He's doing the animals record. God I want to see that. I don't know, you know, like I said last year, I'm not really going to very many concerts. I'm just trying to do stand up comedy. That's all I really want to do. And at 57, I've kind of seen everybody unless it's Bungal or Marcus King or newer stuff that comes through that I really want to see like the black delta movement or you know, all them witches I'll see anytime. I missed them at the troubadour. I was just working. I'm not going to take a night off of comedy to go see a band unless I have that night off. I really want to see Dead and Co on this run. It's their last run and I know this will be their last run for real. But Dead and Co, I said it a few weeks ago and now we're like I think five shows in or so on the tour of six shows. They sound better than ever. They are just blowing my fucking mind man. I cannot believe how good they sound and I don't know what it is. But man, they are a different band. Look how wrinkly my shirt is. I'm wearing a banker shirt. Banker guitars. This episode is brought to you by Banker guitars. Boutique guitars made by Matt himself. Banker guitars. Everyone's playing them. You know it. Mastodon's playing them. Scott Holiday from the Rival Sons is playing them. Everybody plays Banker now. Check them all. I just fucking threw that up because it's like, it's out of the shirt by the way. I love his guitars. Rival Sons got a new record out. Came out on Friday. It's a Smoker Dark Fighter. There's a last song on it. Oh my God. Hold on. Let me get this song. It just kills me. It is so good. Hold on. What's it called? Dark Fighter. A lot of new records out this week. New Rancid, new Rival Sons, new Buck Cherry. I got Josh on a few weeks ago from Buck Cherry. Dark Side. This is an eight song record. Perfect. 40 minutes. That's all you need. Like a 70s record. Here's eight killer fucking songs. Dark Side. The last song on the record. Just brutal. I love it. And then of course, Rapture. Bird in the Hand could be the best song I've heard this year. Nobody wants to die. That single should have done way bigger than it did. That is one of the catchiest rock songs I've heard in a long time. Opens up with mirrors. Great, great record. They're out on tour right now with the record company and Star Crawler. They're out there tearing it up. So Rival Sons, new record out. Very cool. And I hope they, I hope they jump on some big tour this summer. You know, there's still time to get on some kind of tour. They're out headlining but they've been doing a lot of those Greta Van Fleet dates. Greta Van Fleet's got a new record coming out in July. We'll see what that sounds like. Lots of records. Queens of the Stone Age is coming out this Friday, I believe. And I'm going to tell you this right now. I'm going to let you in on a little secret. I heard the record and it is fucking great. I'm going to tell you that right now. This Queens of the Stone Age record is fire. And then the last one was villains. They took a chance and did a little something different. And before that, like clockwork, just like clockwork is just insane to me. And this record kind of picks up a little after like clockwork, man. The lyrics are unreal. The record is unreal. And holy smokes. I'm out this Friday. I'm almost positive. Gertie's over here snoring. She's a heavy snore about Granny Gertie. So all right, that's my little music talk there for episode 700. Now let's get into something crazy. I was watching 60 Minutes, which I've been watching since I was a kid. I love 60 Minutes and they are a lot of talk these days about AI. AI is scary motherfucker. There's even a lot of people trying to pass the votes to get rid of AI because it could be the end of mankind as we know it. And that might sound like an exaggeration. But when you start to think about it, it's pretty wild to think about how AI could get pretty gnarly out there. All different situations. If they weaponize AI, that's the first scary one weaponized. You're like, what are you talking about? I'm talking about somebody doesn't want you at the work anymore at the job, but they can't fire you because they'll get sued. So then they magically have the AI of your voice saying like the N word or something. And next thing you know, they're like, well, sorry, John, you said the N word multiple times here on this phone call. And you're like, that ain't me. Now I get is that's a weaponized and in a sort, you know, get your ass fucking canceled gone forever. Then there's another way that it could really fuck people up. And that's of course what they're talking about the AI music and the AI. And script writing. I don't know if you've ever used AI yet but let's say you want to do a description of like a home you're selling my buddy did this. And then he just put in some keywords. The city it was in the school school community it was in and then AI was like a fantastic home, perfect for a three, three, you know, three children family, great schools. You've got a copper roofing with a groovy backyard. You're going to love the sun sets on the evening on the west side to car garage for your Porsche and your Tesla charging car. And also, don't forget, right next door to an in and out burger, whatever. AI is going to get gnarly. There's a writer strike right now in LA and the greed machine's like, fuck these writers. Let's just pop in. We want to show that's like breaking bad and AI just starts writing up some fucking shit. Or we want a song in the tone of Drake. Yeah, come on, let's just go. Next thing you know, Drake style songs Spotify ain't paying anyone. Because they made the songs we don't need you anymore. Then it's going to get into lawsuits. No, it says Drake style. You can't use my style. All kinds of fucking crazy shit's going to happen. But the main thing that is scary right now and I watched it on 60 minutes was AI Robin people with scams, mostly old people. And you think you can't get scammed. I'm telling you the internet is the scariest ever right now. Siphoning out bank accounts and just ruining lives, ruining lives. Here's an AI scam that's happening. Somebody calls you up and they say, Hey, man. What's going on? Do you need to go? No, then who's this? Oh, man, it's such and such down here at the auto zone or whatever you're like, yeah, I don't need anything and you hang up. Now they got some sample of your voice. They run it in AI. Then they call your grandma. And they know how to make it say grandma on the caller ID because they got a fucking app for that now. So you look at the phone. Yeah, you're the old lady grandma and you go, Oh, it's Steve. Hi, Steve. Yeah, our grandson. And then AI voice comes on. Grandma, I hit somebody in their car and they're going to throw me in prison, unless I give him money right now. Oh, no. It sounds just like nephew or grandson, Steve or whatever the fuck his name is, because they've sampled it and AI is killing it. I just saw a conversation and you guys probably saw it with Rogan and Steve Jobs, Steve Jobs is fucking dead. And it's a simulated podcast and they both sound exact. It's crazy. So then the grandma's like, Oh, no, I'll do anything to help you, Steve. They go, Okay, grandma, they're going to send over a courier, go to the bank and get 20 grand out cash. And these old people are doing it. Now you're thinking I'm not fucking stupid. I wouldn't do that. Yeah, you would, because at the moment you're not really thinking and it sounds just like your fucking wife or your, your brother or whatever. And now it gets into this. You know, somebody calls it Dean, man, I need help. I need 20 grand or they're going to kill me. And you're like, that's an AI voice. And then your buddy's dead. You're like, fuck, I didn't, I didn't help my buddy. I thought it was an AI voice. It is fucking getting wacky out there in this world. It really is, man. I can't believe each year I'm alive. I'm kind of glad I'm at 57. I don't know what it'd even be like 3040 years from now. People having kids right now. My friend just had a baby a month ago. Can you imagine what they're going to fucking see? If the planet's still there, no nuclear bombs, no fucking World War, whatever. If somehow people end up living right now that we're born now and they live to be 40, what the fuck are they going to see? Just chips in the head. AI robots walking around. You know, you're like, Hey, is that Steve? I'm Steve. What are you doing? It just fucking AI pets. And it's dirty over there. Oh, that's my buddy Joey right there. Call me. He's an AI paranoia, man. I'm not paranoid because, you know, I don't have enough money to get robbed. And also, fuck, I'm 57. I don't know. I don't know if AI, I'm sure AI in two years from now will be even crazier. But I have no idea what to fucking think. But I'll tell you this, man, AI is scary. And it's not just music and taking jobs. You know, you know, those people don't let the Mexicans in. They take our jobs. Meanwhile, they're just letting the AI just fucking roll right in. You know, these people are dumb. These people are dumb. You know, it's fucking crazy. Don't let the Mexicans in. They never fucking Hispanic people are great. They're fucking fantastic, man. It's unreal, people don't even care about AI. They're like, Oh, hey, man, fuck, what is that man? Next thing you know, they're fucking broke. Some fucking, some fucking voice took my money. Anyway, this was scary shit on 60 minutes. People were getting cabonked. Bank accounts empty. They're falling for it. One lady fell for it like three different times. I don't know, man. You're sitting there going like I won't get scammed. Everything's fucking fishy now. Emails clicked on the wrong link. There's those, you know, those fucking QR codes. Those are fucking crazy. They got menus and everything now are QR codes. You go up and scan one and it sends a virus in your phone and empties out your PayPal. That shit's happening. There's those fucking dicks that pop those things right onto the, onto the swipers that like CVS when no one's looking, they just pop their own fucking swiper on you go and you swipe your card. They come back and they pop the thing off. They have like 700 cards info. People are fucking robbing out there. And then you got the old school robbers with just guns. They're out there just robbing people for their watches and, and all kinds of dumb shit. It is combat out there, man. It is a fucking combat war zone. Unreal. Unreal, man. How fucking nutty it's gotten in the last five years. Fuck. I don't know, man. I'll blame the vaccine on AI. AI fucking vaccinate the AI. Oh, man. Now I'm just looking at some notes here before I cut out. I want to thank all you for, like I said, tuning in every week, 11 years, 700 episodes. I got Dindelray.com.
