Introduction

In the "Two Different Things" episode of the Armstrong & Getty On Demand podcast, hosts Armstrong, Getty (Jack), Joe, and Katie delve into two distinct yet engaging topics. The conversation seamlessly transitions from an unusual encounter involving a Tesla Cybertruck to a lively debate about the hypothetical scenario of humans versus a gorilla. This summary captures the essence of their discussions, highlighting key points, insights, and memorable quotes.

1. The Tesla Cybertruck Encounter

Timestamp: [01:04] - [06:27]

The episode opens with Jack recounting an unexpected interaction he had while exiting a strip mall. He describes a moment where a man approached him, requesting to "poke his head" into Jack's Tesla Cybertruck. Initially, Jack hesitated, scrutinizing the man's demeanor to ensure he wasn't a threat. Ultimately, he consented, leading to a peculiar experience that left Jack unsettled.

Key Points:

• Unusual Request: The man’s request to inspect the Cybertruck raised immediate red flags for Jack, prompting him to assess the individual’s intentions.

• Post-Encounter Oddities: After the interaction, Jack noticed an unfamiliar clanking sound when closing his truck’s door, leading him to speculate whether the man had tampered with his vehicle.

• Speculations and Concerns: The hosts discuss the possibility of the man being involved in vandalism or having malicious intent, referencing the prevalence of Tesla-related vandalism incidents.

Notable Quotes:

• Jack: "I didn't see one of those. I was just getting out of my Cybertruck." [01:04]

• Joe: "If you're scoping out somebody's vehicle, you're not going to get down low. Now, you're going to be up high so you can get a good scan." [04:34]

• Jack: "I think he did something to my door. My door makes a weird sound now when I close it." [05:06]

Insights: The discussion highlights the importance of being vigilant about personal property and the potential vulnerabilities associated with advanced vehicles like the Cybertruck. It also touches upon the broader issue of manhandling of Tesla vehicles and the community's response to such incidents.

2. The "Man vs. Gorilla" Hypothetical Debate

Timestamp: [07:02] - [13:53]

Transitioning from automotive concerns, the hosts engage in a humorous yet thought-provoking debate about whether 100 unarmed men could defeat a single adult silverback lowland gorilla weighing approximately 600 pounds. This segment combines scientific curiosity with lighthearted banter, exploring the plausibility of such a scenario.

Key Points:

• Scenario Breakdown: The discussion revolves around the physical capabilities of both humans and gorillas, considering factors like strength, strategy, and endurance.

• AI and Media Influence: Armstrong introduces AI-generated videos depicting the hypothetical battle, showcasing the gorilla’s overwhelming advantage despite the numerical superiority of humans.

• Evolutionary Instincts: The conversation touches on the gorilla’s natural instincts for self-defense, emphasizing areas like eyes and genitals that are particularly vulnerable.

Notable Quotes:

• Joe: "The Internet is ablaze with the question of whether 100 unarmed men could defeat a single gorilla in a fight." [07:12]

• Jack: "If you didn't have the backstory on Tesla's, then I would be pretty paranoid." [04:11] (Contextually adjusted for relevance)

• Joe: "Body part. Yeah. The thing about chimps and apes in general is they go for your eyes and your genitals." [13:01]

• Armstrong: "It's utterly convincing and hilarious." [09:45]

Insights: The debate underscores the physical prowess of gorillas and the futility of confronting such a powerful animal, regardless of numbers. It also reflects on human tendencies to engage in speculative "what-if" scenarios, often fueled by online discussions and AI-generated content.

[Jack]

Two different things. Sure, you can stick your head in my car and I'll be right behind you. It's one more thing. Armstrong and Getty.

[Joe]

One more thing. Now, are those interrelated? No, Katie, because they sound like it's some sort of. You're mounting an untoward act.

[Armstrong]

Yeah, that sounded like it got a little weird.

[Jack]

Oh, okay, okay. These are two different stories.

[Joe]

So stick your head in my car. I'll be right behind you.

[Jack]

Come on.

[Joe]

What sort of perversity? Oh, giggety.

[Jack]

I'll start with this. I wish I'd have done this on the radio show because I might need an answer. I'm kind of surprised I did this. I got caught off guard or in a weird moment or something like that. So I'm coming out of a. I don't even remember what I was doing walking out of the strip mall. I'd gone into a little store or something. And I'm walking out and this guy who was coming out of a bagel shop or something, he had a little sack. He walked by me, said, hey, cool, I've not seen one of those. I was just getting out of my cyberbeast. And he said, do you mind if I poke my head? And I've just never seen the inside. And I had a, like a slight hesitation of, you know, I was just judging him quickly in my brain. Are you okay or not? He was. I mean, because I would have said no if he is transient, obviously, or you know, anywhere in the bumish area or scary looking, but he was not, clearly. It wasn't like he was a businessman. Well, to do, about to go get in a nice car. I mean, he was. It was a little, little closer to the hesitation than. Than I probably should agree to.

[Armstrong]

But I said, judgy, not everybody can wear a suit and drive a cyber truck. Okay.

[Joe]

Yeah, yeah. Guy probably has like a job and stuff. Just disgusting.

[Jack]

No, this was this, this is all on demeanor, self care. Not. Not as like, not as. Not as. Not as stuff.

[Armstrong]

This guy's a Brain surgeon. He's just off that day. But anyway.

[Joe]

You're getting a vibe.

[Jack]

Yeah, but just a little bit of one.

[Armstrong]

Okay.

[Jack]

Anyway, so I said, okay, sure. And I stepped to the side, and he leans into my truck a little bit, and I thought he'd just take a quick look around and that'd be it. He leans way into my truck, like, way in there and way low, which was weird. I was like, so kind of cool, isn't it? And then he kind of stands back up and says, yeah, really, really awesome. Yeah, I'd like to have one someday or something like that. I closed the door and I thought. And I just thought that was weird. And I get my truck and I. I drive off anyway, the rest of the day, I noticed, like, right away, first time when I closed the door. The door makes a weird sound when I close it. Like a weird clanking sound that it never made before. And so I don't know if this is in my mind or if it's Tesla's legendary low quality or. Or if he was a Tesla hater. Like, there's a lot of them out there and. And he knows some sort of, like, thing you can undo or put in or something. Cause it was weird the way he leaned in my truck, like, a little too long and a little too low. It was just weird.

[Joe]

That is.

[Jack]

And my door makes a weird sound now when I close it.

[Joe]

If the question before us is am I a paranoid nuthatch or nut job, I would say no. No, that. That's odd.

[Jack]

Yeah, well, if you didn't have the backstory on Tesla's, then I would be pretty paranoid. But the fact that people are, you know, what do you call it? Vandalizing them all across the country. Yeah, he just had a weird demeanor. There was something off with him. I shouldn't have said yes. Anyhow, so if you've ever heard of this sort of thing, if you're scoping.

[Joe]

Out somebody's vehicle, you're not going to get down low now. You're going to be up high so you can get a good scan.

[Jack]

Well, maybe. Maybe he was wondering about some asp. I don't know.

[Joe]

Wanted to check out the floor mats.

[Jack]

I don't know. I think he did something to my. My door.

[Joe]

Hunted down look for him. Start patrolling that strip mall.

[Armstrong]

According to the Google, it's possible to damage the cyber truck doors, including potentially under the pedal area.

[Joe]

If you don't.

[Jack]

I did Google this special.

[Joe]

Are on the doors. Which way do your knees bend different.

[Armstrong]

Than mine Area.

[Jack]

That'S funny. I googled this and I didn't come up with anything. And you did right away. It's okay. So. Huh. I'll have to look into that. That would suck. Freaking weirdos.

[Joe]

What else? What do you got there, Katie? What's. What's the story? Some fine detective work.

[Armstrong]

AI overview things, but it's. It says if you slam the doors closed, it can cause damage also to the inside of the truck. I'd have to read this more, but there's some connection between some element under the. Down by the pedal area that connects to the.

[Jack]

Exactly where his head was. Weirdly, he's just really into pedals. Dude, what's your story?

[Armstrong]

Hey, you got nice pedals.

[Jack]

Nice brake pedal.

[Joe]

So this guy goes around acting all sketchy and. And vandalizing Teslas from the inside out his insidious and inexplicable plot instead of just keying them or something at night. Odd.

[Jack]

Well, it'd be. That'd be the equivalent of like being an online troll, right? You did something that gives you pleasure, just annoyed someone else.

[Joe]

Yeah, yeah, agreed.

[Jack]

All right, so that's that. If you know anything about that email or whatever.

[Katie]

Time is precious and so are our pets. So time with our pets is extra precious. That's why we started Dutch. Dutch provides 247 access to licensed vets with unlimited virtual visits and follow ups for up to five pets. You can message a vet at any time and schedule a video visit the same day. Our vets can even prescribe medication for many ailments and shipping is always free. With Dutch, you'll get more time with your pets and year round peace of mind when it comes to their vet care.

[Jack]

So the other thing about the. I'll be right behind you. Joe needs to retell a brief version of the man versus monkey story.

[Joe]

The it's an ape, Jack. The Internet is ablaze with the question of whether 100 unarmed men could defeat a single gorilla in a fight. We're talking about an adult silverback lowland gorilla. 6, 800 pounds. The mightiest of the jungle beasts. Katie Watt.

[Armstrong]

This is just such a perfect painting of how this is how guys work.

[Joe]

Some.

[Armstrong]

Some guy was sitting there and went, you know what, I wonder? And he spent all this time to put this together. Such a dude thing.

[Joe]

They were either drinking and smoking pot, and maybe it was even at the zoo, but one of the guys pointed out that, you know, you wouldn't stand a chance. That gorilla would kill you in two seconds. And his buddy said, what if you had like 10 guys and they agreed. No, it would still. No, no. What about like a hundred guys?

[Armstrong]

We're getting close now.

[Joe]

We're talking a fair fight.

[Jack]

And so the conclusion was more or less that if you had a strategy with a hundred people, you could overwhelm it eventually. But the earlier guys, it's going to be pretty rough for.

[Joe]

And, yeah, you would have to stick with the plan and everybody have to do their job.

[Jack]

You stick with the plan. That's my whole. Yeah, I'll be right behind you.

[Joe]

Because the carnage would be awful.

[Jack]

Right. You go first. I' be right behind you. I will fulfill my end of the plan. Once you have worn it out with your being bludgeoned, I will be right behind you. I mean, I just. I don't think this would work unless you are fighting for your lives. Because, you know, we've seen in war, people are willing to sacrifice their lives for this sort of plan in wartime. But you'd have to be that. If it's just, I wonder if we can beat this gorilla, you're going to say, no, I'm out. The first person that it, like, rips its head off.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Jack]

And urinates down, it's, you know, neck hole.

[Joe]

I think that's more a saying than something that the ape would actually do. But no, if you see. If you see the. The gorilla chomp on a guy's arm and just tear it straight off. Yeah. You'd be thinking, you know, I was super curious about this, but I'm good. I mean, keep wondering. Yeah, exactly.

[Jack]

This will make a great story for later.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Jack]

Assuming I live.

[Joe]

So I'm glad I got the great Gorilla Fight T shirt before it started.

[Armstrong]

So if you go to armstrong getty.com on Katie's Corner, I put the thread that has this in it on there. And one of the AI videos is this gorilla with a hundred different men running at it. And it just obliterates every single one of them.

[Joe]

Yeah. That's the beauty of this thing. It was launched by a guy who's, like, into AI creations, including videos. And. And it's sprinkled with AI videos of, here is a lowland gorilla pumping iron in a gym. Yeah. It's utterly convincing in the way that we used to call them deep fakes. Now we just call them AI videos. It's utterly convincing and hilarious. All right, where's the. The. The guys are charging at him.

[Armstrong]

You have to. You have to scroll down. I think it's right below the last word.

[Joe]

The shirtless guys.

[Armstrong]

It's on a gray, gray background. It Looks like a simulation.

[Jack]

But I don't doubt that a hundred committed dudes could eventually overwhelm the gorilla if you were, like, committed. But if you weren't, he is gonna just lay waste to the first dozen or so and everybody else is gonna run away. Think, why am I doing this again? To answer some online trivia question.

[Joe]

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, look at the beleaguered gorilla fighting those fellas. That's not how it would go at all.

[Jack]

Katie.

[Armstrong]

I just. I just sent you the. The act. The one that I was talking about. They're like robots. Actually, now that I'm looking at it, I need. I need better glasses, but.

[Joe]

Wow. Yes, you do. He's just going, a robot or a gorilla.

[Armstrong]

No, the. The robots.

[Jack]

You must be fun at the zoo.

[Armstrong]

I'm great.

[Joe]

Oh, I see. It's a robot.

[Armstrong]

Katie always entertained the giraffe.

[Joe]

Oh, this is. This is the. The early edition of the AI video before. It's got them fleshed out with the. It's like the early editions. One of your Star wars movies that occasionally you'll see online.

[Jack]

God, it would just rip you to shreds. It would be a gruesome, gruesome death, too.

[Joe]

Well, and I think. You know what? Honestly, especially judging by this video, which I consider scientifically valid, it's mostly bludgeonings.

[Jack]

Oh, yeah, I've seen those videos where the gorillas pound on each other like that.

[Joe]

Yeah. And they're giant arms. Yeah. They just. They. They wield them like clubs and they just place. You would. Every bone it contacted would be broken.

[Armstrong]

Just think about the lady who got her face ripped off by that chimp. She got a haircut, right?

[Joe]

Yeah, did. Forgot to, you know, say, hey, by the way, I've gotten the new hairdo.

[Jack]

What do you think of my new haircut? Yeah, you gotta. You gotta open with that.

[Joe]

Yeah. A chimp is a fraction the size of one of these gorillas too. But the interesting thing about chimps, Katie, this is really taking such a terrible turn, and I'm regretting it even as I'm speaking these words. I was reading a. It was. Oh, the context was that documentary that came out a while back a couple of years ago about chimp moms. Oh, you remember that?

[Armstrong]

Is this the. The one that was breastfeeding them?

[Joe]

Well, I wasn't gonna go there, but. Yeah, that's right. That was an aspect of it which is just. I mean, how effing crazy are you teeth? But the. The thing about.

[Jack]

Yeah, that's the way it works.

[Joe]

Yeah, that's the operative. Yes. Body part. Yeah. The thing about chimps and. And apes in general is they go for your eyes and your genitals.

[Armstrong]

Oh.

[Joe]

They are through evolutionary, you know, means equipped with the instinctive knowledge of here's how I end this fast. And so. Yikes. Keep your guard up and down. If you find yourself in a fight.

[Jack]

With a chimp, off come the genitals.

[Armstrong]

The what? Off go his gentles.

[Jack]

I made it through most of the word. You know what I mean?

[Joe]

You know, it's kind of a mixed blessing in a way. Think about it.

[Jack]

Oh, yeah, no kidding.

[Joe]

Could have just said testicles.

[Armstrong]

Oh, well.

[Joe]

Well, I guess that's it.
