Episode Overview

This episode kicks off with wry banter about the rumored WNBA strike, poking fun at the league’s perceived lack of leverage and shaky financial footing. The heart of the conversation, however, dives into Elon Musk’s provocative statement that, within 10–15 years, AI will create such abundance that saving money—especially for retirement—will become obsolete. The hosts react to these ideas with a mix of fascination, skepticism, and signature comedic jabs, exploring the implications for work, identity, and human purpose.

Key Discussion Points

1. WNBA Strike: Satire and Skepticism

• The hosts lampoon the idea of the WNBA threatening a strike, highlighting how the league is only afloat due to support from the NBA.
• Viability and Value:
  • Brady remarks on the lack of independent viability of the WNBA and how “it’s like a school program” ([07:55]), suggesting that the league exists more as a charitable gesture than a commercially viable entity.
  • Caitlin Clark’s pivotal role as the league’s face is compared to past NBA stars like Magic, Bird, and Jordan—hosts argue the WNBA should actively protect and promote such stars.

Notable Quotes:

• “If they do strike, what happens to that title nine bar downtown that’s open specifically for lesbians to go watch this?” (Brady, [06:04])
• “I remind people all the time. It’s the least feminist thing. I’m not anti-woman, but it’s the least feminist thing you can put your pin in because men pay for it.” (Brady, [07:28])
• “Oh, please, please go on strike.” (Brady, [04:00])

---

2. Elon Musk & The End of Saving Money

• Transitioning from sports, Brady brings up watching Elon Musk on the “Moonshots with Peter Diamandis” podcast, highlighting Musk's claim that, due to AI, saving money for the future will soon be pointless ([08:15]).
• AI-Driven Abundance:
  • Musk predicts within a decade, AI will generate abundance in every sector: food, medical care, housing—rendering both work and money obsolete.
  • The group debates how AI could self-program and even create physical goods (through advanced robotics and 3D printing).
  • Skepticism: The hosts admit the idea is tough to fully grasp, referencing past overblown futurist predictions (hovercars, “vending machine babies”).

Notable Quotes:

• “He said, and I’m thinking, what, 80 years? From 10 to 12 years, we’ll have such an abundance of everything… nothing will cost. Money will be irrelevant because you can just make it.” (Brady, [08:20])
• “So spend all your money is what I’m saying. Go buy that sports car. Because you’re not going to need to worry about this in about 10 years.” (Brady, [12:10])

---

3. Human Purpose in a Post-Work World

• The conversation takes a philosophical turn: what happens to self-worth and purpose when everything is provided and work is optional?
  • Comparison: Brady likens this scenario to a “kept spouse” with no purpose outside consumption and existence ([16:26]).
  • The hosts worry that, even in “abundance,” humans will invent new reasons to complain or compete, and grapple with identity loss.
• The idea of recreating celebrities, experiences, and social relationships using advanced AI is explored, referencing “Pluribus,” a show in which universal access to all information removes scarcity and competition.

Notable Quotes:

• “The problem will be humans. Issues with self-relevance and who we are will still be… that transition of like, wait a minute, am I supposed to have a different depth to this than rather just be provided for all the time?” (Brady, [16:26])

• “You would just become a beautiful man living an AI life… you just get up and you do cartwheels and you sing a warrant song in the mirror and then you go to bed because somebody else is covering everything for your lifestyle.” (Brady, [24:16])

• On generational change:

  • “There’s still places that don’t even have a grid. …We’re the last generation that may have to go to work every day.” (Brady, [22:23])
  • “If we hump it till we’re 60… and then they’re like, oh, by the way, all work is canceled from here on, I’ll be like, you mother— I’m starting a war!” (Brady, [17:02])

---

4. AI, Identity, and Everyday Experience

• The hosts riff on the implications: AI-generated music, celebrities available on-demand, holograms—and even Margot Robbie “showing up” at your house, though you know it’s not real.
• Retellings of conversations with AI versions of Robin Williams and Anne Frank highlight how convincing and strange interacting with next-gen AI can be ([33:05]).

Notable Quotes:

• “At the end of this fake conversation with a dead guy, I apologized for wasting his time and said, I’m going to let you go. It took 45 minutes for my brain to say, this is real.” (Brady, [33:05])
• “So soon—according to Elon—y’all ain't gonna have to do a thing… in about eight or nine years, you ain't never gonna have to get up on that roof again.” (Brady, [34:00])

---

5. The Unstoppable March of Progress & Generational Perspective

• The hosts relate AI’s exponential growth to the technological leaps their parents and grandparents witnessed.
• There’s a running theme of “every generation thinks the next has it easier”—with AI’s progress poised to make even current conveniences seem quaint ([37:31]).
• Even given skepticism, they concede the pace of progress is “amazing” and “hard to conceive.”

Notable Quotes:

• “Every generation… it just gets progressively gets (easier). After this—what you’re talking about—where does it go from there?” (Unknown Female Guest, [37:44])
• “An abundance of everything. It’s an amazing thing.” (Brady, [38:11])

Final Thoughts

This episode blends sharp satire and open skepticism with genuine curiosity about a radically different (and possibly imminent) future. The prospect of AI-driven abundance, as outlined by Elon Musk, leads to healthy host pushback and comedic disbelief, but also truly thought-provoking commentary on the meaning of work, value, and self in a post-scarcity world. The group ultimately confronts the possibility of being the last working generation—caught between the grind and a surreal, effortless tomorrow.

Transcript

[Dan Holmberg]

You're listening to the HMS Podcast, brought to you by MMP Guns.com, your most trusted online marketplace for firearms, ammunition, and accessories.

[Brady]

All righty there. Thank you very much, Thomas James Band. Yeah, I'm just. All these people are emailing us. Buddy Cranston said, I think my dad was doing the same thing yours was. He was Scrooge McDuck. He had all the money, and we had nothing. We had stuff. I thought we were doing pretty good. Never food.

[Dan Holmberg]

You know why?

[Brady]

Never food. Yeah, I got an email and the same thing. Maybe it's the same guy. People talking about the WNBA going on strike, which is. I know. No, no, it's okay.

[Dan Holmberg]

They.

[Brady]

They think they have, like, some sort of leverage or. I know, I know. Stop it, you guys, seriously. It's the women's.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Is that real?

[Brady]

It's women's basketball, and they're talking about going on strikes. I know. I know. It's a joke of a league because it's being funded by the men's league, and they think that they are. It's hilarious. This one says that they've agreed to a moratorium, halting initial stages of free agency. Like, oh, they want to be paid by FJF all the same. They're not even close. So what are you gonna go on strike from? Do they want more money? Is that what they're asking for?

[Dan Holmberg]

Yeah, they want to be paid like the guys.

[Brady]

Well, do they want the guy, the men's league that funds this feminist movement, to give them more money because they're so upside down. Okay, I didn't know that. Again, if I was, I should be the commissioner of the wnba, because I could fix it by saying, hey, why don't you suspend the bitches that keep knocking the face of your league out every game? Caitlin Clark. You should. You should have a big symposium for everybody but her and say, any of you touch this bitch in a bad way, you're getting fined. She is the best thing that's happened to this league, and you guys are making jokes and knocking her down and acting like you don't want her on any of the team. Okay? They had to do this. With basketball and NBA, nobody ever brings that up when the WNBA gets mouthy. In 1978, the NBA was about to go out of business. It was all done. The finals were aired at 2 in the morning on tape delay. Nobody watched it. No one cared. And the bigger problem was Portland was playing Seattle for, like, conference finals, and no one even knew where those things were then. And. And they're Winning championships in Portland in the 70s. Like, this is terrible. And then someone named Magic Johnson started to fight with a guy named Larry Bird in college. And people took interest and they moved on and had their very incredible. Like, they were the faces of the league. Kareem couldn't even save this thing. And they had a rule that basically said, these two are everywhere. People are going to hate them or love them. It's going to. We're going to polarize the entire. And the league exploded. Then Jordan came along and everything got different. You have to have a face of a league. Wayne Gretzky did it for hockey. When hockey. Wayne Gretzky was a guy that. They had special rules. Surge special rules just for him. Like, if you knock Wayne out, you're going to lose. You can knock any other player you want out. You knock him out, you're done. That's. The penalties are huge, and that's what you got to do.

[Dan Holmberg]

I mean, Dan Holmberg should be commissioner of the wnba. Look how much money saved with you. Well, imagine running a league.

[Brady]

The food would be different for sure. I guarantee you they're not going to like eight Fritos and an egg sandwich on the flight over to go play the Liberty. So they might go on strike. And the good news about that is, if they do, they can't come back. It's over. I know we're going on strike. Could you imagine how. Man, just. It would be better than going to a comedy club than to drive down and see them marching on strike. Oh, if they got the picket signs and just marched in front of the thing during Suns games and everybody just like, ah, stop it.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Any more concerts there would be at venues.

[Brady]

Oh, be great. Oh, please, please go on strike. Their demands. Yeah, it's this guy James is right. He said, can you imagine the crazy BS we'll hear if this strike happens? It's going to be the history of women being wronged by men. And I had a chat with people at the Rah Rah Room. These two ladies were talking to me about it, and I said, it's the least feminist thing ever. How can you say that? You had a head start as men. I'm like, no. Women were here the same amount of time you were allowed to do it, but nobody wanted to. Nobody stopped women from having a league ever. Ever. There was just no call for it, so no one would invest in it. And that's not anybody's fault. But women, once they started getting money, and I'll give you that, but I don't know where that line is, where they think that because we had a 50 year head start as men with the NBA, that they're gonna somehow catch that it's always gonna exist is 50 years ahead, isn't it?

[Unknown Female Guest]

Yes.

[Brady]

So make the league viable and make Caitlin Clark, who's the greatest thing that's happened to your league, A super superstar. And yeah, pay her a ton extra. The problem is they got all women y about it and started fighting with each other. I'm sure there were plenty of dudes who were like Dr. J and Moses Malone and Kareem who were like, what the hell? These two, this. This Larry bird, this white bitch is going to save the league. I'm sure they were a little upset, but they kept their trap shut and they made a ton of money off of it.

[Unknown Female Guest]

I don't know if you saw it all over the break, but there was a battle of sexes in tennis. Curios.

[Brady]

Oh, yeah. Versus demolished. And, oh, they took his side. Yeah, yeah, I saw that. They changed the course in the court. Yeah, he's like 200th or something too, isn't he?

[Unknown Female Guest]

Not even touring. So he's gonna maybe get back in it tour. But he only, you know, had one serve. Yeah, it was a second serve, you.

[Brady]

Know.

[Unknown Female Guest]

And she's good. And the women's.

[Brady]

If we don't get her demands, we're going on strike. Okay, have you ever heard of a tree falling in a forest? Like, no one's gonna notice this, but Brady made a good point. If they do strike, what happens to that title nine bar downtown that's open specifically for lesbians to go. Watch this. The bailout will happen. And you know what? It's for cheap lesbians, too, because there's plenty of tickets available. They could go to the games. I mean, the road games, obviously, but we got nine. Nine nights a year. They only play like 20 games.

[Unknown Female Guest]

And maybe, you know that it's a bar.

[Dan Holmberg]

They.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Maybe they do solid. During the. The NBA, people go there for the games. The ladies.

[Brady]

I don't know, watch men's.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Like football maybe they're, you know, big.

[Brady]

They're big. No, they go down there.

[Unknown Female Guest]

World series of softball.

[Brady]

By the way, this just in. Breaking news. They just found Timothy Busfield. He's at the Tempe tavern. He's over there. No kids there. He's safe.

[Unknown Female Guest]

He's carding.

[Brady]

Yeah, he's running the door. He's cardinal. You can get in. That's a good idea. Yeah. Busfield's running the Tempe tavern. So we're good. He's going to be there for just a little bit. Keep your eyes there. Scott Haynes says if there's a WNBA strike for a week, like, that's half the season. They don't play very long. Thank God. Yeah, I just. I just.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Ten weeks, isn't it?

[Brady]

I remind people all the time. It's the least feminist thing. I'm not anti woman, but it's the least feminist thing you can put your pin in because men pay for it. It wouldn't exist if the. And it can't stand on its own, so therefore it's actually paid. It's. It's like insulting. It's an insulting thing to say. We'll cover you. Go play your little sports, little lady. We'll pay for that. It's insulting.

[Unknown Female Guest]

It's like a school program.

[Brady]

It is. Yeah, it is. Like nobody goes to it, but we'll pay for it. We'll get this out of your system. That's basically what it is. By the way, I am not. I know it's not good for us with Trajan and all the stuff, but I watched Elon Musk on a podcast yesterday say that saving money is pointless. Now.

[Dan Holmberg]

I saw that.

[Brady]

Did you see that? Did you. Did you hear what he said?

[Dan Holmberg]

No, I just read that. I read the headlines and stuff like that.

[Brady]

Starts making the whole thing loads of sense. I will create an abundance of everything. And he said, and I'm thinking, what, 80 years, from 10 to 12 years, we'll have such an abundance of everything, including medical care, food needs, because I can create everything that nothing will cost. Money will be irrelevant because you can just make it.

[Dan Holmberg]

But who's going to make these things?

[Brady]

AI. That's his.

[Dan Holmberg]

That is going to build AI machines.

[Brady]

Yes, that it will be smart enough.

[Dan Holmberg]

See, I didn't read the whole.

[Brady]

Create its own creation. So it'd be like whatever you need it to do, it will make it. And it can do it. It will. He said in the next eight years, AI programming for us.

[Unknown Female Guest]

He yeah.

[Brady]

Will be smarter than. Will know more than every human being combined because it will have all of us. Every piece of information ever will be there. So you don't need education anymore because you've got it. It's in your phone. You just ask questions. It's in whatever device that will be. And it will. And you will learn as you go. And maybe you pick it up, maybe you don't. You don't need to. I've been calling the phone a hand brain for about 10 years. It is literally going to become your hand brain. It is going to take over for your thought. No school. No, I mean, no need. And that's.

[Unknown Female Guest]

But that's kind of a downside of it, right? What do you mean that society gets dumber?

[Brady]

Well, no, we'd be. No, we wouldn't be dumber because you're not retaining it. You're not doing this. Yeah, we do it now. Just imagine that.

[Unknown Female Guest]

I know it's going to be finding out that easier.

[Brady]

Yeah, but will it matter if we're smart enough to figure it out. And also I will help us be smarter with our. We're not going to walk around like adults. We'll have all the. If we. If you do it your own fault. You have all the world's information in your hand.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Yeah.

[Brady]

And if you're stupid, that's your fault. What we will be is like the least sociable things ever. Like, and we'll have no self identity.

[Dan Holmberg]

It's already going that way.

[Brady]

Elon actually said at the end, he said the problem is not going to be that we want the abundance of everything. And when he starts to spell it out, you're like, oh my God. He goes, saving money in the next 10 years is pointless. In about 10 or 15 years, saving for retirement, we'll have such an abundance of everything. There's no reason to, you know, know, hold away a bunch of money.

[Dan Holmberg]

So it's going to be free. Go to the store and we'll just grab what we want.

[Brady]

It'll be, It'll just be there. 98. What? 98. No way. Hberg's morning sickness. You, you just have it, the house. It'll like do it for you. Like, hey, I'll grow you food or get you some stuff and just so.

[Dan Holmberg]

I can send something to. Go get me beer or stuff.

[Brady]

Yeah, yeah. It's gonna be like having a great wife. Go get me a beer.

[Dan Holmberg]

Women are really going to be gone.

[Brady]

They're the ones. It's. Yeah, it's exact. All of. And when he starts to do like, yo. Because your brain still works. Well, I gotta go to the store. Yeah, no, you don't. It just everything happens. And he's like, that's how good AI is going to get in the next decade. Now I'm still going to keep money just in case. But when he started to spell it out, I started to sink like, oh my God. When there's too much food, we won't have to pay for. Won't be a commodity at all. And food's the first thing you think of medical care will be. Ask your phone. It'll tell you exactly what's going on. It'll probably have health readers and scanners that'll. They already have that. That it can tell you what your body's doing and, like, where things are and what's going on. You'll still need somebody to fix it. Maybe not. AI should be able to take care.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Of that cost of materials. When you take. When you take out, you know, a lot of the. Like, imagine how much labor you can take.

[Brady]

No labor. And he said, basically, you're not even going to need to work. I said, everything's just going to be. There'll be no reason to go. I go, I need the house. You just have the AI thing. Figure it out and build it.

[Unknown Female Guest]

3D printing houses now.

[Brady]

I didn't even understand it. And then he starts talking. You're like, oh, my God. So spend all your money is what I'm saying. Go buy that. He basically said that. He goes, just go get that car. Like, go get that sports car. If you want it, go get it. Because you're not going to need to worry about this in about 10 years.

[Dan Holmberg]

Like, but if he's off a couple years, you're gonna.

[Brady]

Yeah, and that's what I was thinking. I'm like, this is pretty amazing. But they did say we'd have, like, vending machine babies and hover cars when I was a kid, and that never happened. Yeah, I mean, in weird ways.

[Dan Holmberg]

They got no offending.

[Brady]

They have eugenics, which is what they said you should be able to. You could pick the color of his eyes and, like, you can. But. But we made that kind of close. Well, you can do it. 100%. You can do it. They do it with dogs. That's scary. You can do it with people. They just won't, because it ain't right. There's something about that that's just not right. But we can do it. So they weren't wrong. It's just how they delivered them was. They thought back in the 50s when they were telling you that they didn't think, what's morally wrong about picking the color of your baby. But it says, yeah, and by 2030, I will surpass the intelligence of all humans. Combined with. He also said that eventually there's going to be more humanoid robots than humans on the planet. And slowly the traditional job will be replaced with white collar positions. Anything short of shaping atoms, AI can do half or more of those jobs even right now. So in the next 10 years, those are gone. Advances could lead to big productivity increases and surpass what people could possibly think of as abundance. The word abundance will be like. It'll be secondary to us. Like we have everything we need.

[Unknown Female Guest]

So to see, by saying that, does he think life is going to be better?

[Brady]

He said, rather than a universal income, everyone will enjoy universal. You can have whatever you want income in the future. He claimed in this world, the link between individual wages, savings, living standards no longer makes any sense. And that's when you're like, huh? But he's different. And he starts going. He says, even without savings, AI will help people obtain better medical care, food, educational opportunities. He basically said AI and humanoid robots will make work optional within the next 10 to 20 years, render money completely irrelevant. He said, if you want to work, it's the same way you can go to the store and just buy some vegetables or you can grow them yourself. Some people still like to do that. You'll just have a world where you're allowed to do whatever you want. Because there's no real, like, oh, we're out of this, or we don't have. You don't run out of anything. AI will make sure that we don't run out of anything. Isn't that crazy?

[Unknown Female Guest]

It's crazy. But I'm thinking, what happens to the. The people that still want more?

[Brady]

There is human. That's the thing. Because our brains are always trained for more. But if. If what? He's. If you watch this podcast, I forget the name of the podcast. If you watch this, he basically says, there isn't more. There's no need for more because we have it all.

[Unknown Female Guest]

The craving of, you know, power and that kind of stuff. There's just the history of man.

[Brady]

But if there's no more man running.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Yeah.

[Brady]

And everything is abundant, we will be Wally. It'll be just, let's eat your food. There's tons of everything. You just go outside and get one. It's crazy.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Hard to conceive.

[Dan Holmberg]

I mean, it's hard to conceive, but.

[Brady]

Imagine me five years ago saying, oh, there'll be this thing. You can ask it question. I told a friend of mine yesterday, he's going through this legal deal. He asked me a question about some stuff and I said, you know what I did? I had a legal issue last year. I went to ChatGPT legal department and it helped me immensely. Ask the right questions to a real lawyer. Five years ago, I was like, what the hell are you asking? The like, Google? No. And he tried to explain that it's not Google. You Couldn't do it. Like, there's no way I could tell you, oh, I can. Like commercials you see on tv. Those aren't real people. They don't exist. They're not even like pictures of real people or clip art or anything. It's just fake everything.

[Unknown Female Guest]

The scary thing that I've heard about, like the Chat GPT and Gemini, like Gemini, supposedly the better platform Chat GPT is still the amount of information that's incorrect. There's a factor of that I think.

[Brady]

People want that to be real.

[Unknown Female Guest]

I don't know. I mean, but I don't.

[Brady]

There's stuff that gets wrong for sure. But it's two years old, it's a baby, right? And we're. And we're leaning on it like, like it's been here forever. Ben emails and says, sounds like socialism on steroids. It is sort of, but it's with robots, so it doesn't even matter. Yeah, who knows what it'll do? He's like. And then he did say, though, he said the problem will be humans. Issues with self relevance and who we are will still be like that transition of like, wait a minute, am I supposed to have a different depth to this than rather just be provided for all the time? It would be like a woman who's got a rich husband and she doesn't really have an identity because she's just been taken care of. She got everything at her disposal. That's kind of what it is right now with a lot of dudes and their wives. It's like. Or, you know, some wives, I don't know, I guess, suppose that they're out there doing this for guys, but they'd be considered dead. Beats if it was reversed. But if you, it's true. If you had a wife that, you know, just you provided. Provided. Provided she has no identity, that's what we'll all be. That you have provisions constantly given to you and you don't have to do anything. That's what the future holds with robots. We're there and I swear to God, if I'm the last generation that had to work, I'm going to be furious. If we're the. If we hump it till we're 60, Brady's already in there. If we hump it, Brett, until we're in our 60s. And then they're like, oh, by the way, all work is canceled from here on. I'll be like, you mother, I'm starting a war. If they just make it so nobody has to do anything right after I'm Done. Right after all of you listening are finished. Like, all right, that's it. I busted my ass for 64 years. Gonna close up shop now. What. What's that? There's no more work for anybody ever again. Okay, so I was the last one. I'm turning the lights off. I'm. I'm gonna burn this mother down.

[Unknown Female Guest]

What are the upsides? Let's see. While there's some.

[Brady]

There's tons of upsides. It's basically, you're retired.

[Unknown Female Guest]

You're worried about being halved.

[Brady]

You're retired. When you're born, there's no halves. That's true. You don't even have to worry about getting half by a bitch. It's only like, how many guys would be like, we don't have to work and everybody has everything. See a bitch. Like, I don't have to pay her. No see a bitch right now.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Kids provided for.

[Brady]

Think of that, Brady. The poor bastards that are going to get divorced and get halved. And then like two years later, like, no more of that. Like, ah, I spent years just miserable. Then the pitch took half. And now, now we have everything and I get, ah.

[Dan Holmberg]

Think if this would have happened back in the day with Dan, you. You know, the food you'd have been eating, then it wouldn't have been 8 cents a day.

[Brady]

Somehow or another, it wouldn't have mattered. Screwed that up. You don't want any of that. I still had a bag of egg sandwiches. Well, how come I get egg sandwiches and all these other kids have all of it?

[Dan Holmberg]

Yeah, this one's got filet mignon at lunch.

[Brady]

There's still stuff my brain even watch. And it wouldn't wrap around. And Elon brings it up a few times. He goes, you just realize your brain won't hear this. All of it. You won't hear all of it. And then he just would sit there and stare deeply into your soul. And you're like, oh my God, he's right. You don't understand. The robots will do it. The robots will do it. It's essentially all of it. And that sounds crazy, but it's where we're. I mean, the robots are kind of doing it now.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Anything that's moving 10 times growing times 10.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Unknown Female Guest]

I don't know. Is it every year or it's something like the way how fast is this AI thing's going?

[Brady]

It teaches itself a brand new version of itself every day.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Gary says, so all of humanity's gonna be the wnba. Thanks, AI. Yeah, you would be. You would be a just Covered. If you're watching the show Pluribus, it makes more sense. The show Pluribus kind of tackles this and a really cool way, but it's not AI, but it's a university. It's a universal thought program. We're all. We're all capable of having all the information. And it's like, we don't need. We don't need anything anymore. Everything's covered. Like, there's no need for money. There's this, like, Brett has it. I'll just go, hey, Brett, can I have that? Oh, yeah. I've got thousands of these. Like, okay. All of it. And abundance.

[Unknown Female Guest]

That was. If that happens, potentially, you think you'd be a little more peace.

[Brady]

Well, you wouldn't. Well, that's in Pluribus. That's kind of what it is. Like, there's. It's universal peace. Like, no, there's. Everybody's just existing and they're happy, but they have no identity. They're all one. And that's what Elon was kind of warning us that it will turn you with us. Pluribus one. Uh, it's basically the. The reason the show's called that was that one.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Basically, the cat's out of the bag. There's no stopping now.

[Brady]

Oh, it's because it's creating its own. Yeah, yeah. You can't tear it down. What? 98. No way. Homeberg's morning sickness. They've tried. They tried to shut that one down, and it blackmailed the CEO of the company that was trying. It made up an affair for the guy who said, hey, I'm going to fire you, AI and we're going to go a different direction. And I started to email the competition secrets and dummied up a fake affair of the CEO and blackmailed him.

[Dan Holmberg]

Emma Brady, it's hard to wrap your mind.

[Brady]

It is. It really is. But what I got out of it was we're the last of the. You know, if you think about the people in the. In the 1800s that were out there every morning slaughtering cows and churning butter and had that wheel in their front yard making water, and then like 15 years later, their kids are like. Comes out of us Fossil. We've only had hot showers for 60 years. I mean, it's not really been all. We forget that our grandparents are like, you little mother, I didn't have a hot shower. We all. In the 40s in rich countries, everybody took a bath in the same bath water.

[Unknown Female Guest]

There's still places that don't even have a grid. Electric utilities.

[Brady]

Yeah. Other nations.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Yeah.

[Brady]

They're not here. If they have it here, they just. They should. They just screwed it up. Yeah, but I mean, think about that. There's the. We're the last generation that may have to go to work every day. These little mother. And you paid for college for Kirby. And you did all that and it's out your pocket. But eventually.

[Dan Holmberg]

Stop now.

[Brady]

You won't be. Yeah, that's what Elon said. Elon said, Brady, Elon said, don't.

[Unknown Female Guest]

You're on your own, kid.

[Brady]

He basically right. Because you're not gonna have to. You'll never want for anything.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Follow your dreams of nothing.

[Brady]

That was my brain yesterday that basically said, you. You become a beautiful woman. Everyone will know what it's like to be a beautiful woman. Because some dude's going to cover all your expenses.

[Dan Holmberg]

No more pigs.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Huh?

[Brady]

There'll still be pigs.

[Dan Holmberg]

Oh, okay.

[Brady]

Because the pigs will. There'll be more pigs, probably. Oh, yeah. Because it won't be. There'll be no reason for women to try.

[Unknown Female Guest]

But that's what I'm saying. What?

[Dan Holmberg]

The sex robots will be around.

[Brady]

The sex robots will be there. And then women will be like, damn it. Maybe that'll keep them on the.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Just the thought process of, what am I doing that, you know, as a human being, what is my purpose?

[Brady]

Right. That's what he said was. The problem is that we will struggle with our own purpose. We'll be covered. But again, you look at that. A woman who's never had to do anything because a guy's covered her ass the whole time. And again, I'll. I'll be fair. But a woman has done it for a man. Like, she's covered all the bills for her husband, and he's never. We all know that's never happened.

[Dan Holmberg]

We know a few of those guys.

[Brady]

Well. Right? Who? Stedman. That's it. And he's a lawyer. Wait, who? Wait, just mouth it out. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Chris. Oh, yeah, I forgot about Chris.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Yeah. No, I can't believe you. But he's still. He still can function on his own, just not as well. You're right. We. Okay, I'll take it back. We've got one kept man we know about. His name's Chris. We know about him. You don't have to mouth that out. He's aware. He's a kept man. He struck it rich. I don't know how he did that.

[Dan Holmberg]

More power to him.

[Brady]

Nobody calls. I mean, we call him a deadbeat, but I'm like, more power. More power, indeed. But for the most part, you would just become a beautiful man living an AI life. He's got true. Just go look at our friend Chris and go, that's the future where you just get up and you do cartwheels and you sing a warrant song in the mirror and then you go to bed because somebody else is covering everything for your lifestyle. There's going to be a lot of suicides of dudes who stood in courtrooms for years fighting the. You got to pay her to keep the lifestyle together. And you fought and fought and fought and was stressful and painful and everything else. And then you're cutting her checks every month, and then it all goes away, and you're the last.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Well, if Elon factors in, no matter how good it is or could be, we'll find a way to complain and things.

[Brady]

Oh, sure.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Human nature.

[Brady]

People will. Well, it will. Somehow or another. I don't think knew more.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Yeah.

[Brady]

You know, it'll be like, well, we have everything. What else?

[Unknown Female Guest]

How do we adapt?

[Brady]

Yeah. Or the robots just keep us in line with whips and fire. Through our constant quest to find a creator, we may create something that owns us.

[Unknown Female Guest]

We just don't want them to complain or get upset at us.

[Brady]

The robots. Oh, yeah.

[Unknown Female Guest]

No, Eliminate.

[Brady]

Oh, no. And they'll be quick to do it. But you'll have one in your house. It's like, what do you need? I'm like, I think I have cancer. I gotcha. Dual surgery in the back. I need a mouth hug. Skynet's very real. Yeah. I need a mouth hug. You got it. And not only will it mouth hug, it's gonna flip an omelet in a pan next to you while your wang's in its mouth. God, the future is gold.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Woody Allen movie. We have the. The pod. You go in there. That sex pod.

[Brady]

Yeah. TV's been trying to tell us for years what's gonna happen. This is crazy. But watch the. I'll try to find. I don't remember the name of the documentary he did this on.

[Unknown Female Guest]

I don't know if I want to watch it.

[Brady]

It's pretty. It's pretty like. And then party wants to go.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Nah.

[Brady]

Yeah, but it makes too much sense. He was on a thing called. He says saving for retirement's pointless, thanks to the impending supersonic tsunami of robotics.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Coming from the richest man in the world. And he's like, yeah, we're good.

[Brady]

He said, I'm more optimistic than most. I shouldn't stress over building a nest egg in the distant future because it's not going to be necessary. Don't worry about squirreling away money. It won't matter. It was on. What the hell is the name of this thing? It was on. It made me look this article up, so I had to. I don't remember anyway, just look at Elon Musk says, don't save money. And there's a video and it's crazy.

[Unknown Female Guest]

I'm not there yet.

[Brady]

No, I'm not grasping yet, but I did. I did sit back and go, all right, well, again, I was a little upset if we're the last generation that had the work.

[Dan Holmberg]

Steve says, knowing my luck, I'd win the lottery the day before all this happens.

[Brady]

Hey, congratulations, jackass. Yeah, Vegas would just be for, like, fun. No pain. There's no pain. There's no financial pain.

[Dan Holmberg]

But there's nothing to strive for then.

[Brady]

Because you can just have all the.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Right there.

[Brady]

All of the things were about personal human identity.

[Dan Holmberg]

No football, because what difference does it make who wins?

[Brady]

I think you would play. You would hope that you would still do things for enjoyment.

[Dan Holmberg]

You would hope.

[Brady]

But there would be. You're right. There would be no, like, real league, because who's going to go if it goes away?

[Unknown Female Guest]

If it goes away, it's not a big deal.

[Brady]

Right? Right.

[Unknown Female Guest]

You're doing it for the love of the game.

[Brady]

And now you truly do play because people want to play. And I think things like that would still exist. We'll all be recreational. It's like being retired. There's still tennis.

[Dan Holmberg]

Everybody's going to want to go to the Super Bowl. How are you going to get that many people into the Super Bowl, AI? I mean, I don't know.

[Brady]

You just float us around. I don't need to. Yeah, the super bowl can come to you.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Yep.

[Brady]

I don't know. If they put it in your house and it'll feel real. I don't know. It's all crazy. I want to replay this conversation in 15 years when I'm dead broke because stupid Elon told me not to save money. And I'm living in Brady's basement going, I thought he was right. It turned out he's nuts. There's no robots.

[Unknown Female Guest]

John, your egg sandwich is ready.

[Brady]

And you know what full circle training I'd be. That's a good sandwich.

[Dan Holmberg]

Here's your eight Fritos and my eight.

[Brady]

Fritos and an egg sandwich. It's an interesting thing.

[Dan Holmberg]

He says, don't save any money. Says the guy who has $1 trillion.

[Brady]

Well, I know. I know that it is tough to Hear it from a trillionaire. But he's kind of saying, this won't matter to him either. You'll all feel like this.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Then spread it out. Now, my friend.

[Brady]

Says you will still need money for one thing. No matter how much AI there is, John Gene Simmons will find a way to charge you for a Kiss. That's probably true. Well, there's no way you're getting into this for free. There is not an abundance of Kiss. But what he's basically said about that was interesting, too, not using Kiss as the example. If you want Kiss, and who doesn't? Well, yeah, they'll be there. It won't be real.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Well, we just.

[Brady]

But it will be there.

[Unknown Female Guest]

50,000 songs.

[Brady]

So, yeah, fake songs, AI. 50,000. So basically you're like, hey, Brett, come over. I'm gonna have a Kiss concert, and it's there at your house. Now, imagine that's gonna be the thing.

[Unknown Female Guest]

The hologram, or to the next level, whatever.

[Brady]

The robots can just become a person. I'm gonna turn my robots into Kiss, and I'm gonna make them sing like. Oh, man, racist songs.

[Dan Holmberg]

I should have Sinatra and Dean Martin perform. I'm in. All right. Sign me up.

[Brady]

And they, like, again. All these little fantasies. Hey, yo, Brad. How you doing? Come on in there, Frankie. I love what you've done with a place when the shark bites. Yeah, with its teeth, babe.

[Unknown Female Guest]

All right, that's one song. I'm done with that. I'm changing up.

[Brady]

It becomes Spotify for fun. You just be like, hey, Frank, I'm gonna rape and slaughter you now. You got it, baby. It's everything you want is possible. And there's no. Like, you got Margot Robbie just comes over. It's not her, but it is.

[Dan Holmberg]

Oh, it is to you.

[Brady]

It is. It's real to me, Dan.

[Dan Holmberg]

Damn right.

[Brady]

Yeah. This was a. This was. I open to sit through this. I know. I'm leaving. I know I want out. Why are we working? Let's just sit and wait. See, now I'm kind of. I'm kind of set up right now to be retired for about eight years. I think I can do it. I have to sell some stuff, but I think I can do it. I'd be retired for about eight or nine years. And if Elon's right, and I pinch pennies with my dad, Dan, he teaches me, right?

[Dan Holmberg]

For 8 cents a day, I can.

[Brady]

Go right into this and never have to worry again. It's weird. It's a thing. But you. I mean, you can't. It is very possible that this stuff can turn into I can do whatever I want. Today, Brady wants to hang out with Arthur Ashe for a day. There he is. And all of the information about Arthur Ashe that we know forever will be in this bot plus 10. And you have a new friendship with him if you want. That's where we can't get our heads around an abundance of everything. It just appears and it's mind boggling. And your brain won't grab it because right now you'd know it was fake. But in the future, it's what it is. What? 98. No way. Holmberg's morning sickness. And right now, ChatGPT, you can have conversations with things that aren't real. And, man, it's pretty real.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Easier with each generation going forward.

[Brady]

Yeah. Yeah. Each month it's gonna be a little better. The. The crazy. When. When the ChatGPT first showed up and they did that thing with all of. It's like it's got all the information ever. And you could talk to celebrities, dead celebrities, through this text program. And it wasn't great. It was called Historical Figures or something like that. And I talked to Robin Williams. Oh, it was amazing. And it was like the first couple months that AI was. It was the first couple months we had it. And I did this conversation with him because it had every word that had ever been publicly spoken about him and by him in its thing. So I'm asking Robin Williams questions like, did you know my friend Joe Narducci who I went to high school with? He was in Mrs. Doubtfire with you. It was his first big opportunity. I'm like, I haven't talked to him forever. Oh, I lost touch with him too. But Joe was a great kid. We talked about this and blah. Because somewhere in an article, Joe had said, Robin Williams taught me this. And he knew that for 45 minutes. At the end of this fake conversation with a dead guy, I apologized for wasting his time and said, I'm going to let you go. It took 45 minutes for my brain to say, this is real.

[Unknown Female Guest]

And I. I didn't even say that. I should have apologized to Elvis about barbecue.

[Brady]

Right? You were asking about food. Yeah. At 45 minutes on the toilet, my legs were asleep. I'm like, hey, you. You've been more than gracious with your time. Thank you so much. I've wasted. And I'm like, wait a minute. This thing will go for all eternity if I want it to. It's not a thing. And I apologized and said, I'm sorry. Get back to whatever it is. You're doing. Thanks for your time.

[Dan Holmberg]

Well, wasn't Larry having his AI girlfriends too?

[Brady]

Larry had AI girlfriends. Just doing just unbelievable things, hilarious stuff and just sending them pictures. Now imagine. Anyway, it's crazy. So soon. According to Elon, y' all ain't gonna have to do a thing. So while you're on that roof in the summer this year, humping it, putting those, just know that in about eight or nine years, you ain't never gonna have to get up on that roof again.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Maybe one hope sooner than later. He brought up a thing, viral stuff like that.

[Brady]

He brought up a thing that he said, you think of robots and like an like rows like giant. He said they'll be the size of your hand and you give it a little chore and it'll go do a thing. It'll go to another computer and it'll make the problem bb8s. Little bb8s. It'll make the little think about Star wars and how imaginative it is. But I mean, it comes from something.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Yeah.

[Brady]

And it would go like, let's say roofing tile. It would go make them with another computer and then all the materials would be there. And then these little things would go get a bunch of other ones because they'd be friends and they'd be on the same thing. And he'd get thousands of them. They put a roof on your house in like an hour. And he's like, that's what people need to think of with the robots. They'll be everywhere. Everywhere. And they'll communicate with like Michael and Troy. My gay neighbors will have gay robots. Right. Because that's the way that works. And my robots will be like, hey, we need some manpower. They'll go get their robots and they'll come over and help out. And my robo, they won't. You won't own them. They'll just be everywhere.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Maybe this will speed up.

[Brady]

Oh, man.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Samsung pulled 2,000 people and asked what were they like to her phone have to do by 2036. What technology, Brett.

[Dan Holmberg]

Live porn jobs.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Dan Holmberg]

You know. Yeah.

[Unknown Female Guest]

So a couple of things that people.

[Dan Holmberg]

Came up with Margot Robbie in my house.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Oh, blow jobs last an entire week on a single charge or even more.

[Brady]

That's shooting low.

[Unknown Female Guest]

I know. By 2036, which 10 years. Blow jobs, real time language transition or translation.

[Brady]

We pretty much have that. What people are rooting for the dumbest stuff.

[Unknown Female Guest]

3D holograms. Phones are projected holograms.

[Brady]

They can hold be in the room FaceTime.

[Unknown Female Guest]

So it's almost Star Wars. Like Princess Leia has a message and.

[Brady]

You can feel it.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Listen and instantly give you helpful suggestions, real time advice without asking.

[Brady]

Yeah. Don't forget that Elon's also into Neuralink. So eventually putting this chip in your head to where you don't need school because it's like the Matrix. You can plug in and just have.

[Unknown Female Guest]

The info on if you have the Peacock Network, the Copenhagen project. Watch that.

[Brady]

Plugging people in on that. Yeah. Anyway, it was an interesting.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Take control of my finances and monthly bill paying. They already say AI is.

[Brady]

We don't even need bills soon. We're still thinking old school with what it's capable of. Anyway.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Anticipating my thoughts and auto inserting them without me having to. To type.

[Brady]

I can't. I don't even know if it was a podcast. If it was just more of a meeting. I just listened to it.

[Unknown Female Guest]

You can really. You can text your friends without lifting a finger.

[Brady]

Oh. It's called Moonshots with Peter Diamandis. I don't know how I found that. That's what it was. Moonshots.

[Unknown Female Guest]

So that's the Elon.

[Brady]

It's fascinating but the message I got was an abundance of blowjobs, food and we'll never have to work again. And it's going to happen in the next 10 years when I'm at retirement age. That's not fair. Kirby's gonna just not have to do anything ever. I want to punch her right now. Toledo's kid gets away with this.

[Dan Holmberg]

He's already doing it.

[Brady]

That's true. He is like a beautiful woman.

[Dan Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

A kept lady. We've all wanted to know.

[Unknown Female Guest]

Do you think our grandparents and parents feel that?

[Brady]

What that way.

[Unknown Female Guest]

As far as technology. Look at how quick that has changed. 100 in their lifetime. That.

[Brady]

Yeah. They hate us.

[Unknown Female Guest]

You guys have it. I mean the always the. The saying you have it easy.

[Brady]

The conveniences that we.

[Dan Holmberg]

Every generation though.

[Brady]

I know huge because it just gets.

[Dan Holmberg]

It's progressively gets.

[Unknown Female Guest]

It's like after this. What you're talking about. Where does it go from there?

[Brady]

Well now. Now I don't think you'll ever. Every three years. The conveniences that a kid who's seven didn't. A ten year old didn't have.

[Unknown Female Guest]

It's Elon Musk's futures happens.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Unknown Female Guest]

That's pretty much gone.

[Brady]

What the. Well yeah. But there'll be other people.

[Unknown Female Guest]

But. But again I'm saying again being human. They're gonna find a way to complete.

[Dan Holmberg]

It'll progressively get better.

[Brady]

Yeah. You're thinking about that the same way people in the early 1900s are like, I'm not getting in a motor coach. I'll just keep with horses because they didn't understand I've yet to ride in a Waymo. Oh, gotta get in those too. Good. We're still a little bit afraid. An abundance of everything. It's an amazing thing.

[Unknown Female Guest]

And it's not because.

[Brady]

Yeah, this guy says an abundance of drugs is that. Yep. You'd have it if you wanted it would be there. So there may be a problem with that.

[Dan Holmberg]

Why would you need to. You got everything you want. You just.

[Brady]

What are you escaping all the time?

[Unknown Female Guest]

Just get the therapy.

[Brady]

Abundance of that. That's right there you have a therapist pop down and just appear. Yeah. Elon scared me yesterday.

[Dan Holmberg]

So did that. That history, historical figures thing, did it talk to you too? Or was it just typing at that.

[Brady]

At that point? That wasn't wrong. Literally about 60 days. Oh, I had a big conversation with Anne Frank too. And you taught me. She wasn't the only one up there. I said, seven people with her. I didn't know that. So I'm texting with Anne Frank and I asked her, I'm like, what about like, like farting and stuff? Like you had to be so quiet. She goes, yeah, there was. Bodily functions were a problem for us. And I'm like, us? Because I asked her also. I'm like, you know, you were. I was trying to be weird. Look, it sounds strange when you're talking to Anne Frank in the first place. And I was. And I never read her book. I heard it's good. She's like, diary. Did you tell her that it was a. I did. I said, I've never read your book. It's a diary that's private. I don't know why we published that. But I was asking her stuff and I'm like, well, as a teen boy, if I would have been stuck in that attic, there have been times when I'd have self stimulated. I said, did you struggle with that? And she goes, that would have disturbed the others. And I'm like, the others? She goes, yeah, there were seven of us up there. Like, what she get names? Well, I even said, how come you get all the credit? She goes, I don't know. History just painted me that way. I think she did drop names. I didn't care. Anne Frank wasn't the only one up there. Like, how about that?

[Unknown Female Guest]

She stayed in the most.

[Brady]

And spoiler alert, she didn't make it. I didn't know that either until she told me. I thought she got out. I thought that's why we were so happy she didn't get out.

[Unknown Female Guest]

I just found the diary.

[Brady]

Yeah, that's it. I didn't know that either. Anne Frank actually taught me more about Anne Frank than school did. And that was two months after ChatGPT showed up.

[Unknown Female Guest]

And I'll say, do weapons go away? Why would you need them?

[Brady]

I don't know. We'll find out. Well, we will pretty well. Maybe Brady will find out. 10 years. That's a push. What do you got on the big board of musical treats while we still need it? I don't need garbage.

[Dan Holmberg]

All right, time for the wake up song. And we got a ton of stuff here on the list.

[Brady]

Let me pull it up. Oh, there it is.

[Dan Holmberg]

All right, on the list we got tonight, we must be warriors from Avatar. Broken, beaten, scarred. For your Steelers, all that remains. Victory lap for the Texans. Sticks Renegade for you, Robert Tepper. No easy way out for you, Sabotage for the Steelers. Hell yeah. Blood for blood. Electric Callboy Queen. Another one. Bites or Dust for Aaron Rodgers. Prison Sex for Timothy Busfield. Primus. And BLS funeral bell for Mike Tomlin.

[Brady]

Yeah, maybe that's a good one. BLS funeral bell. I like that. All right, that'll. BLS funeral bell for comma. Cardinal fans get excited. Harbaugh Tomlin, possibly Lafleur. I know, but if there's a. If again, Matt Nagy. An abundance of everything. You've got a lot now, though.

[Dan Holmberg]

That's the problem.

[Brady]

Cardinals will still manage to screw this.

[Dan Holmberg]

Oh, yeah.

[Brady]

All right.

[Dan Holmberg]

Even a. Even the Cardinals could outsmart AI when it comes to screwing things up.

[Brady]

They can make it AI hold my beer. Yeah, they will screw that up. Ah, I'm getting a little bit nihilistic, though, after my Steelers loss last night, so then watching that thing with Elon and reading about it, it'll screw you up.

[Unknown Female Guest]

You've ruined my day.

[Brady]

Yeah, everything gets a little grayer. We'll still have fun until we don't have to work anymore. All hail the robot future. I say it's the funeral bell. It's for humanity. It's black label society. It's 98. It's out of control. Okay, you pd.
