Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yesterday. I saw my son Dutch around two o'clock yesterday
and he goes, he's dad, come in here. What and
he goes, he tells me something and he goes, have
you noticed this? And I said, I have not noticed that.
He goes, it's really, really weird. Several hours later, I
get a phone call from his older brother, Jake, who's
at the University of Arizona, and Jake goes, Dad, have
you noticed this recently? They're like no. Dutch said the
(00:22):
same thing to me and he goes, it's crazy. It
won't stop. Both of them said that their Instagram reels
was every single thing was death. Every single video they
looked at on Instagram reels was a horrifying death. What yeah?
And I didn't look at mine. I was like, I
don't want to look at that.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
What algorithm?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I know?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
But the thing is to me that they both went
out of their way to call me and tell me
about it. I want to know if it happened anybody else,
They happen to anybody in here.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
I try to play mind games on you, like, let's
mess with dah.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Nick what happened? I would agree with Payne. I think,
oh yeah, happened.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
I think they're totally trolling you because they know that
you just spiral when you don't have answers to things.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Now I did, I just went on, did it happen
to me? Now?
Speaker 5 (01:08):
I got a bunch of people who think they've seen
real dragons and captured him on their iPhone.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I said, in both my kids, because both of you
guys are so effed up in the head. That's why
your algorithm is like that, right.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
They probably sent each other a video. Yes, that's that's yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Hello, good morning, John, Jay and Rich Can I help you?
Speaker 6 (01:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (01:28):
Are you guys still talking about the Instagram real thing?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (01:32):
Okay, So my husband came home from work yesterday. He's like,
you can't believe this. My first question to him was like,
who are you following on Instagram?
Speaker 8 (01:41):
You know?
Speaker 7 (01:41):
And then he just said it was literally all death
stuff everything, and he like showed people at work and
nobody else at work, and my husband he was like,
you're the one who's all the murder wars.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah. So Dutch shows me on his phone somebody dying
by getting killed by an elephant, right, And I say
to Jake, I said, my older son, Jake, I go Dutch.
It's the same he so did Jake. Jake goes I
saw the same thing. And then if you think about
this for a second, Grant is Grant back there, can
you great? Hear me? Grant told me about that video
you saw the cartel guy throwing the guy in the boat.
(02:16):
Both my kids saw that yesterday too, Grant said, was
one of the most disturbing.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
Husband saw the same thing and he saw the same thing.
He said, it was all murder, death, what have you.
And then yeah, always he was just dumbfounded. He said,
nobody at work, nobody else, just his and my stuff.
But yeah, he came home and he's like this, this
kind of is kind of creepy. He and my husband
does not get freaked out about anything like that, but
that was just so weird. And same thing with the algorithm,
(02:41):
and he was like, I look at the people I saw,
I want to fall anything like that. He's like, I
know they have people getting mad at me about politics, nothing.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
About death, right, Okay, that's what I thought. Grant, happy
to you, but yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:51):
Yeah, it's so weird.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
It was so weird.
Speaker 9 (02:53):
My Twitter feed is brutal right now, it's just all deaf.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
We're talking about Instagram real, specifically Instagram.
Speaker 9 (02:59):
Ul really yeah, all my Instagram reels. I can't, I
can't disclose. It's not what you think.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I had to tell Grant to stop saying I.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
Have whatever happened with your boys, the same thing happened
to my husband.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Okay, good, I'm glad. I'm glad that it was them
pump punking me. I have a great day. Thanks for
calling in. Thank you all right, thanks for listening. So
Jenna on the show is leaving. She's been our social
media director for like the last ten eleven months. She
took a job with a Blueprint, which is that guy
Brian Johnson, who is the biohacker that's going to be
(03:33):
you know, he's trying to live one hundred years or something.
He's doing a lot of crazy stuff. He's trying to
live eight hundred years. And hopefully we'll still continue to
talk to Jenna as she leaves to get bits and
pieces about it because I think I'm a fan of
the guy. Also, i'd like to have him on the show. Jenna.
Speaker 10 (03:44):
So we're interviewing and mentioned that a few times.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Ye hold on, oh, Nick got it? Okay, whoops. But
we're so we're kind of starting to interview. We want
to we want to slide someone in as soon as possible.
So we've been interviewed a couple of people and Bejia
is here, Besa, I've seen your name right right? Yes, okay,
get close to the microphone. So what is your social
media background?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
So? I did quite a bit of social media when
I was a kid. I mean, I feel like growing
up in gen Z, there's a lot of social media involved. However,
I try to keep my digital footprint pretty small. But
that's just me personally.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Do you work with any accounts? So do you handle anybody?
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I manage my friend's account Avi'd reviews food. It's like
a food review account, so I hope with that. But
besides that, I also have like a film account where
I take film photography photos of my friends and places
I go because I really enjoy photography. So that's like
another account that I do.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But yeah, okay, so you would sit back here watching
Jenna do stuff, right, what do you think?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
She's a goat? She's the greatest, She's so good at it,
and she is a great teacher. Really yeah, totally, I
mean everyone back, there.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Is no there you go that was that was politically smart.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, Nick, Yeah, I was just about to tell her
until she got.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
To you know me.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
So then, what do you like when you when you
sit back and watch what she does. Are there things
you think you can contribute, you can make better, that
you can change have a different perspective?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, I think that. I mean, I think any mind
can have like different points of views, different opinions. I
think everybody can bring their own creative like spice to it.
I think she's really talented and the things that she does,
and I just think that, like new ideas come with time,
and I think that it could benefit the show.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Your ideas maybe.
Speaker 11 (05:34):
Does this.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
So this would be the first, like if this worked
out and we hired you, this would be the first
job in social media that you ever had, like an
official job.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
So I did social media for a company, uh called
bill Fire and I ran called what you get right
of them called bill Fire, and I did their LinkedIn
and Twitter. So I did that for an internship and
that was a little more like business y, less like
social media tiktokie. But I've done that before as far
as experience. But yeah, this would be my first like making.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
That's your screen time.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
A lot, a lot.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I feel like that's a valid question, that's a really
good question.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
I like your screen time on your phone, Like I know,
like if you have an iPhone, like it sends it
to you and sometimes you're like, oh my gosh, I
just spent seven hours and thirty minutes on my phone.
But you find I think you go into like your
settings or something. But like, my screen time is always
so insane, just because I'm always looking for like social
media news trends, things that are going on, and also
(06:32):
like I'm just like always in my phone screen time.
But when I was in Europe, my screen time was
like three hours and twenty minutes for the week.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I was like, that's impressive.
Speaker 10 (06:41):
That's a European life.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
That's just healthier. I yeah, I was like.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
I needed to disconnect because when I came back, I
came back with like a little bit more pep at
my step, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
But yeah, Beijia, tell us your screen time.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Do you ever like limit the time? I was saying, oh,
I need that, I will find it, but you John,
I tell myself, I can only do an hour and
a half on social media, and I like cancel it
every day every.
Speaker 10 (07:06):
Day working here that I was like, yeah, you gotta
take that restriction, Like you're asking her, like what do
you do in your free time? This is this would
be different if it be work.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, totally like mine right now.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
My daily average for this week is six hours and
seventeen minutes per jet Thursday at nine oh four am,
this turn on.
Speaker 10 (07:24):
That's a daily average, Like you're my daily average. So
you're on your phone six hours a day.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Six hours a day on average with texting scrolling.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Because it'll tell you what you spend the most time doing.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
It's Andrea Drea.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
Good morning, Hey, Hey John Day, Good morning everybody.
Speaker 11 (07:45):
Nice.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
I just had a comment about your son's Instagram reel.
I was taking my daughter to school this morning and
as soon as she got in the car, you know,
we are leaving, and she was like, mom, instaground rails
are all fights And I was like all fights. She
was like yeah, and I don't know why. She's like
usually they're like makeup tutorials and I'm like, what is
(08:09):
going on now? You imagine it about that?
Speaker 10 (08:14):
There must be like certain videos that trigger an album
the algorithm to move a certain way. Like you guys
all saw that the elephant one and then now all
of the people that saw the elephant killing someone are
seeing killing videos, Like she must have seen one video
and that just triggered the algorithm, like, oh this is
the one.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
What if there's a hack someone hack that could be too.
But I mean like this one video, if you watch
this one video, it hacks people's phones, destination something. Because
I thought it was just I don't have the same
conversations with those two boys that I mentioned. They're so
different for them to have that, it's very strange.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, that's odd.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Or maybe like ask them if they've been nice to
their chat gbt because maybe they're chatgy.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
It's like, how do you know?
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Okay, but maybe you should ask them and then maybe
they're chat GBT lett him know how they might be
coming for him.
Speaker 10 (09:02):
When you guys see the video of the AI assistants
talking to each other and then speaking their own language
and they realize they're talking to each other, Oh my gosh,
you guys wild I actually have the audio for I
don't know if coming out. It's basically like one of
them is like, well, welcome to It's like a hotel
or something like that, and it's like, Hi, I'm an
AI assistant looking for my clients. So and so he's
(09:23):
looking to book a wedding there, can you give me
details on it? And she goes, oh, I'm actually an
AI assistant too, would you like to switch to gibberlink
so that we can communicate on a more effective level
And then they literally start communicating and like bppppp oh no.
Speaker 9 (09:40):
There was a video about ten years ago that came
out that was like just two PC computers that they like,
you know, just introduced to each other, and within like
I think it was ninety seconds, they made up their
own language and the screens just started going with.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Text once you remember war games, well yeah.
Speaker 9 (09:56):
And then they they literally it was an MIT experiment experiment.
They plugged the computers. They were like, we don't know
what's happening.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
It was like a.
Speaker 10 (10:04):
Laptop and an iPhone and it was like they just went.
They were they were sticking to the task at hand,
like you know, they were, oh, how many people do
you need to accommodate? Like it would write the like whatever.
They were communicating in words on top, but they weren't
like it wasn't normal speak.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
They were doing.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
ANDREWA thanks for calling in. Thank you so much for listening.
So where are we with this Bejia person?
Speaker 5 (10:29):
What questions do you have about the show?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
In the microphone? So obviously we have to tell you
things several times because we told you several times.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
My brain kind of k So yeah, so you've been
sitting back here. What do you have to ask?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
What do you think is the hardest part about this show?
Waking up early?
Speaker 5 (10:50):
That's it. That's it. I mean, there's lots of hard parts,
but that alarm is tough.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Hustle. There's got to be a little bit more hustle. Yeah, yeah.
What else?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Do you guys get anxiety or like anxious or have
you had to work it?
Speaker 5 (11:03):
I've never been not anxious, not once.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Has gotten better since being on the show.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I have changed my point of view of that. I
used to be anxiety. Now I think it's just excitement
instead of anxiety.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Do you think that he was reading a book that
sounds like that a documentary about basketball?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
No? No, no, it was Bible. It's it's one of
those I read so many things and watch so many
things about it. But go ahead, what's another one?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
What do you think is the biggest thing you've learned
while being on the show.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
The biggest thing you've learned, we've learned?
Speaker 11 (11:37):

other things going on, Like we don't hear things, but
like it was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (11:49):

the biggest thing ne've learned?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Said?
Speaker 1 (12:01):

Speaker 5 (12:03):
I think he's learned something every day, honestly, truly about
everybody in the room, about listeners.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
But what questions do you have about the job? Let
me think, what's what's another job you've had besides that
has nothing to do with social media.

and be stationed in Japan. How did he get Japan

if this is true, but you get six months of
deployment in Okinawa when you go. I don't know if
it's just for his I'm CRD in San Diego. If

where'd you meet him? I met him at school. I

like dating. And then we just started talking.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Where'd you go to school? And is it living flag stuff?

sometimes totally and that room over there is a free
space and the room back there that Kyle and Nois
shares a free space like things can be said and
not a free zone and can come back to bite you,

It's been a while. Jenna's cried in ten eleven months,
three four times and just last week.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
It's a very safe space, you guys. And sometimes like
the pressure gets to you. And then also like we're
friends and family, you know, so you get emotional.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
And you're on lack of sleep makes you.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
And people can be mean and yeah that's true.
Speaker 1 (17:59):

Speaker 1 (18:04):
All right, thank you very much, Beja for coming in
Beijia High School. Okay, that's our podcast, our afterwards podcast.
Yesterday. I saw my son Dutch around two o'clock yesterday
and he goes, he's dad, come in here. What and
he goes, he tells me something and he goes, have
you noticed this? And I said, I have not noticed that.
He goes, it's really, really weird. Several hours later, I
get a phone call from his older brother, Jake, who's
at the University of Arizona, and Jake goes, Dad, have
you noticed this recently? They're like no. Dutch said the
(00:22):
same thing to me and he goes, it's crazy. It
won't stop. Both of them said that their Instagram reels
was every single thing was death. Every single video they
looked at on Instagram reels was a horrifying death. What yeah?
And I didn't look at mine. I was like, I
don't want to look at that.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
What algorithm?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I know?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
But the thing is to me that they both went
out of their way to call me and tell me
about it. I want to know if it happened anybody else,
They happen to anybody in here.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
I try to play mind games on you, like, let's
mess with dah.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Nick what happened? I would agree with Payne. I think,
oh yeah, happened.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
I think they're totally trolling you because they know that
you just spiral when you don't have answers to things.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Now I did, I just went on, did it happen
to me? Now?
Speaker 5 (01:08):
I got a bunch of people who think they've seen
real dragons and captured him on their iPhone.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I said, in both my kids, because both of you
guys are so effed up in the head. That's why
your algorithm is like that, right.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
They probably sent each other a video. Yes, that's that's yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Hello, good morning, John, Jay and Rich Can I help you?
Speaker 6 (01:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (01:28):
Are you guys still talking about the Instagram real thing?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (01:32):
Okay, So my husband came home from work yesterday. He's like,
you can't believe this. My first question to him was like,
who are you following on Instagram?
Speaker 8 (01:41):
You know?
Speaker 7 (01:41):
And then he just said it was literally all death
stuff everything, and he like showed people at work and
nobody else at work, and my husband he was like,
you're the one who's all the murder wars.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah. So Dutch shows me on his phone somebody dying
by getting killed by an elephant, right, And I say
to Jake, I said, my older son, Jake, I go Dutch.
It's the same he so did Jake. Jake goes I
saw the same thing. And then if you think about
this for a second, Grant is Grant back there, can
you great? Hear me? Grant told me about that video
you saw the cartel guy throwing the guy in the boat.
(02:16):
Both my kids saw that yesterday too, Grant said, was
one of the most disturbing.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
Husband saw the same thing and he saw the same thing.
He said, it was all murder, death, what have you.
And then yeah, always he was just dumbfounded. He said,
nobody at work, nobody else, just his and my stuff.
But yeah, he came home and he's like this, this
kind of is kind of creepy. He and my husband
does not get freaked out about anything like that, but
that was just so weird. And same thing with the algorithm,
(02:41):
and he was like, I look at the people I saw,
I want to fall anything like that. He's like, I
know they have people getting mad at me about politics, nothing.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
About death, right, Okay, that's what I thought. Grant, happy
to you, but yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:51):
Yeah, it's so weird.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
It was so weird.
Speaker 9 (02:53):
My Twitter feed is brutal right now, it's just all deaf.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
We're talking about Instagram real, specifically Instagram.
Speaker 9 (02:59):
Ul really yeah, all my Instagram reels. I can't, I
can't disclose. It's not what you think.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I had to tell Grant to stop saying I.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
Have whatever happened with your boys, the same thing happened
to my husband.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Okay, good, I'm glad. I'm glad that it was them
pump punking me. I have a great day. Thanks for
calling in. Thank you all right, thanks for listening. So
Jenna on the show is leaving. She's been our social
media director for like the last ten eleven months. She
took a job with a Blueprint, which is that guy
Brian Johnson, who is the biohacker that's going to be
(03:33):
you know, he's trying to live one hundred years or something.
He's doing a lot of crazy stuff. He's trying to
live eight hundred years. And hopefully we'll still continue to
talk to Jenna as she leaves to get bits and
pieces about it because I think I'm a fan of
the guy. Also, i'd like to have him on the show. Jenna.
Speaker 10 (03:44):
So we're interviewing and mentioned that a few times.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Ye hold on, oh, Nick got it? Okay, whoops. But
we're so we're kind of starting to interview. We want
to we want to slide someone in as soon as possible.
So we've been interviewed a couple of people and Bejia
is here, Besa, I've seen your name right right? Yes, okay,
get close to the microphone. So what is your social
media background?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
So? I did quite a bit of social media when
I was a kid. I mean, I feel like growing
up in gen Z, there's a lot of social media involved. However,
I try to keep my digital footprint pretty small. But
that's just me personally.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Do you work with any accounts? So do you handle anybody?
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I manage my friend's account Avi'd reviews food. It's like
a food review account, so I hope with that. But
besides that, I also have like a film account where
I take film photography photos of my friends and places
I go because I really enjoy photography. So that's like
another account that I do.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But yeah, okay, so you would sit back here watching
Jenna do stuff, right, what do you think?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
She's a goat? She's the greatest, She's so good at it,
and she is a great teacher. Really yeah, totally, I
mean everyone back, there.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Is no there you go that was that was politically smart.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, Nick, Yeah, I was just about to tell her
until she got.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
To you know me.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
So then, what do you like when you when you
sit back and watch what she does. Are there things
you think you can contribute, you can make better, that
you can change have a different perspective?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, I think that. I mean, I think any mind
can have like different points of views, different opinions. I
think everybody can bring their own creative like spice to it.
I think she's really talented and the things that she does,
and I just think that, like new ideas come with time,
and I think that it could benefit the show.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Your ideas maybe.
Speaker 11 (05:34):
Does this.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
So this would be the first, like if this worked
out and we hired you, this would be the first
job in social media that you ever had, like an
official job.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
So I did social media for a company, uh called
bill Fire and I ran called what you get right
of them called bill Fire, and I did their LinkedIn
and Twitter. So I did that for an internship and
that was a little more like business y, less like
social media tiktokie. But I've done that before as far
as experience. But yeah, this would be my first like making.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
That's your screen time.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
A lot, a lot.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I feel like that's a valid question, that's a really
good question.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
I like your screen time on your phone, Like I know,
like if you have an iPhone, like it sends it
to you and sometimes you're like, oh my gosh, I
just spent seven hours and thirty minutes on my phone.
But you find I think you go into like your
settings or something. But like, my screen time is always
so insane, just because I'm always looking for like social
media news trends, things that are going on, and also
(06:32):
like I'm just like always in my phone screen time.
But when I was in Europe, my screen time was
like three hours and twenty minutes for the week.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I was like, that's impressive.
Speaker 10 (06:41):
That's a European life.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
That's just healthier. I yeah, I was like.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
I needed to disconnect because when I came back, I
came back with like a little bit more pep at
my step, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
But yeah, Beijia, tell us your screen time.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Do you ever like limit the time? I was saying, oh,
I need that, I will find it, but you John,
I tell myself, I can only do an hour and
a half on social media, and I like cancel it
every day every.
Speaker 10 (07:06):
Day working here that I was like, yeah, you gotta
take that restriction, Like you're asking her, like what do
you do in your free time? This is this would
be different if it be work.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, totally like mine right now.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
My daily average for this week is six hours and
seventeen minutes per jet Thursday at nine oh four am,
this turn on.
Speaker 10 (07:24):
That's a daily average, Like you're my daily average. So
you're on your phone six hours a day.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Six hours a day on average with texting scrolling.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Because it'll tell you what you spend the most time doing.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
It's Andrea Drea.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
Good morning, Hey, Hey John Day, Good morning everybody.
Speaker 11 (07:45):
Nice.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
I just had a comment about your son's Instagram reel.
I was taking my daughter to school this morning and
as soon as she got in the car, you know,
we are leaving, and she was like, mom, instaground rails
are all fights And I was like all fights. She
was like yeah, and I don't know why. She's like
usually they're like makeup tutorials and I'm like, what is
(08:09):
going on now? You imagine it about that?
Speaker 10 (08:14):
There must be like certain videos that trigger an album
the algorithm to move a certain way. Like you guys
all saw that the elephant one and then now all
of the people that saw the elephant killing someone are
seeing killing videos, Like she must have seen one video
and that just triggered the algorithm, like, oh this is
the one.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
What if there's a hack someone hack that could be too.
But I mean like this one video, if you watch
this one video, it hacks people's phones, destination something. Because
I thought it was just I don't have the same
conversations with those two boys that I mentioned. They're so
different for them to have that, it's very strange.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, that's odd.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Or maybe like ask them if they've been nice to
their chat gbt because maybe they're chatgy.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
It's like, how do you know?
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Okay, but maybe you should ask them and then maybe
they're chat GBT lett him know how they might be
coming for him.
Speaker 10 (09:02):
When you guys see the video of the AI assistants
talking to each other and then speaking their own language
and they realize they're talking to each other, Oh my gosh,
you guys wild I actually have the audio for I
don't know if coming out. It's basically like one of
them is like, well, welcome to It's like a hotel
or something like that, and it's like, Hi, I'm an
AI assistant looking for my clients. So and so he's
(09:23):
looking to book a wedding there, can you give me
details on it? And she goes, oh, I'm actually an
AI assistant too, would you like to switch to gibberlink
so that we can communicate on a more effective level
And then they literally start communicating and like bppppp oh no.
Speaker 9 (09:40):
There was a video about ten years ago that came
out that was like just two PC computers that they like,
you know, just introduced to each other, and within like
I think it was ninety seconds, they made up their
own language and the screens just started going with.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Text once you remember war games, well yeah.
Speaker 9 (09:56):
And then they they literally it was an MIT experiment experiment.
They plugged the computers. They were like, we don't know
what's happening.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
It was like a.
Speaker 10 (10:04):
Laptop and an iPhone and it was like they just went.
They were they were sticking to the task at hand,
like you know, they were, oh, how many people do
you need to accommodate? Like it would write the like whatever.
They were communicating in words on top, but they weren't
like it wasn't normal speak.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
They were doing.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
ANDREWA thanks for calling in. Thank you so much for listening.
So where are we with this Bejia person?
Speaker 5 (10:29):
What questions do you have about the show?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
In the microphone? So obviously we have to tell you
things several times because we told you several times.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
My brain kind of k So yeah, so you've been
sitting back here. What do you have to ask?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
What do you think is the hardest part about this show?
Waking up early?
Speaker 5 (10:50):
That's it. That's it. I mean, there's lots of hard parts,
but that alarm is tough.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Hustle. There's got to be a little bit more hustle. Yeah, yeah.
What else?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Do you guys get anxiety or like anxious or have
you had to work it?
Speaker 5 (11:03):
I've never been not anxious, not once.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Has gotten better since being on the show.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I have changed my point of view of that. I
used to be anxiety. Now I think it's just excitement
instead of anxiety.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Do you think that he was reading a book that
sounds like that a documentary about basketball?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
No? No, no, it was Bible. It's it's one of
those I read so many things and watch so many
things about it. But go ahead, what's another one?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
What do you think is the biggest thing you've learned
while being on the show.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
The biggest thing you've learned, we've learned?
Speaker 11 (11:37):
What have you all of you guys face changing, like
other things going on, Like we don't hear things, but
like it was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (11:49):

the biggest thing ne've learned?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Said?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Is that Nivea.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
I think he's learned something every day, honestly, truly about
everybody in the room, about listeners.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
But what questions do you have about the job? Let
me think, what's what's another job you've had besides that
has nothing to do with social media.

and be stationed in Japan. How did he get Japan
to he asked.

if this is true, but you get six months of
deployment in Okinawa when you go. I don't know if
it's just for his I'm CRD in San Diego. If

where'd you meet him? I met him at school. I

like dating. And then we just started talking.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
