Episode Overview

In this episode, the HMS crew dives into two main topics: their annual FanDuel Super Bowl picks, and a lively, often hilarious discussion about how technology—specifically, increased screen usage and current beauty standards—will impact human health and appearance in the future. Using AI-generated models and predictions as a springboard, the hosts riff on everything from hunched postures to cosmetic surgery and societal expectations.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. FanDuel Super Bowl Picks and User Experience

(02:32 – 05:43)

• Super Bowl Bets Tradition: The hosts revisit their annual tradition of putting $100 on their predicted Super Bowl contenders and discuss making their bets through FanDuel.
• FanDuel's New Betting Features: John describes FanDuel's "Build Your Own Bet" tool, which allows users to tailor bets—such as customizing over/under yards for players or creating multi-leg parlays.
  • "You can pick like their running back Jalen Warren... and it gives you a little slide on how many yards you think he'll get. And it increases or decreases the odds as you pick." (A, 03:04)
  • "You are Fanduel. You're the guy. You're, you know who you are. Ace Rothstein. You're making the lines." (A, 03:38)
• Betting Outcomes: Bret shares his attempt at a nine-leg parlay that only netted one correct pick:
  • "Strong with my first nine leg parlay." (D, 04:00)
  • "Went one for nine." (D, 04:02)
• Advice on Betting: The group jokingly warns about getting too wild with complex bets:
  • "You can make safer bets or you can make bets a little bit more difficult. It is insane.” (A, 03:29)

2. AI Predictions: The Future of Beauty Standards & Human Posture

(05:43 – 13:55)

• Current and Future Beauty Ideals: John discusses an AI model's depiction of today’s beauty standard (blonde, hourglass figure, large lips/chest). He then shares the AI’s prediction for the future—an exaggerated body with an extremely hunched neck from screen use.
  • "With all of our hunched over the phone stuff like, you know how we're like, you're doing it right now?" (A, 06:19)
  • "So if we stay on this same course, we're going to be hunchbacks with great boobs and massive lips." (A, 07:26)
• Technology’s Role in Physical Change: The group humorously debates what constant phone and device use will do to future generations’ posture. AI predicts bulging eyes and downward-facing heads because people rarely lift their phones to eye level.
  • “I asked AI, what do you think women will look like in 2050? And it did this… Our heads are pointed almost straight down from all the screen use.” (A, 06:40)
• The Big Takeaway: John delivers a tongue-in-cheek call to action regarding good posture:
  • “If this is anything, AI is pretty good at stuff. How about we start practicing the phone in front of our faces, held high rather than down by our guts?” (A, 07:54)
• Relatability and Jokes: The hosts poke fun at their own habits, admitting how they slump or “turtle up” over phones and warning about needing future neck surgeries.
  • "You actually won't be a hunchback of the future. I'm terrible. I'm gonna be a mess." (A, 09:33)
• Personal Anecdotes: John shares stories about acquaintances who’ve had their necks surgically removed (!), weaving in humor about fashion choices and dating preferences for men with no necks.
  • “He makes Brian Urlacher look like a giraffe… Don’t you have any empathy for a man with no neck? Not when you wear giant collars. You look hilarious. You look like you got hammered into your shirt.” (A, 11:01 & 11:30)

3. Social Commentary on Beauty and Gender Norms

(Throughout 06:00 – 13:55)

• John riffs on what societal standards expect from women, tongue-in-cheek referencing the “pointed down” facial pose and exaggerated lips as the unfortunate result of both screen time and cosmetic trends.
• The hosts joke about whether men will actually care if these AI predictions come true, provided personalities are “nice,” and spin off on the superficiality of modern attractiveness standards.
• “If all you care about is the back of their heads, the future will be fine because that’s all you’re going to see.” (A, 13:22)

4. The Importance of Posture and Health

(13:22 – 13:55)

• Drawing on his own history of back surgery, John offers a serious moment about the necessity of good posture:
  • “It’s all posture. Keep your posture. And then you finally, you see yourself sinking slower and slower into the mess. Everybody sit up straight. That’s what I’m telling you right now.” (A, 13:44)

[A]

Morning sickness? You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. He's evil sitting right here. Come on. No, no, he's not. He's not evil. He's just a bit rude. I wanted to do a fireside chats morning. We're going to be too late to do that. Can't do it. I know. Brett's all broken up about it. Nothing you can do. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

[D]

Bumped me out.

[A]

But with football upon us, we do have to talk about something and I'd like you guys to do this again. We did it last year. You must put your hundred dollar bet on your FanDuel account today for your super bowl prediction. And that's it. And we made them yesterday, but you got to do your bets today. Fanduel is back. And now fanduel is better than ever with the make it up yourself. Have you played with that yet? No. Oh, man, it's trouble. So you can go on like let's say my jets and Steelers game this weekend, right? So the Steelers, you can pick like they're, they're running back Jalen Warren. It says, here's what we think he's going to do. What do you think he's going to do? And it has gives you a little slide on how many yards you think you'll get. And it increases or decreases the odds as you pick. So if you're like, oh, how about we get Dak Prescott to have two rushing touch. And you can, you can make your own without looking at theirs. They just give you a name and then like, like you type in what you want. So you can bet against FanDuel. Basically, if you just make your own thing. You are fanduel. You're the guy. You're, you know who you are. Ace Rothstein. You're making the phone. Give me the phone. For Christ's. You're making the lines. You're making your own lines. You're like, I don't like this line. I want another line. And you can make them easier. You can make safer bets or you can make bets a little bit more difficult. It is insane. So I started to play with that the other day. I was like, Brady, I started off.

[D]

Strong with my first nine leg parlay.

[A]

How's that?

[D]

Went one for nine.

[A]

Hey, that's good. You bet in college football the first week?

[D]

No, I bet last night on, on the game on Thursday night.

[A]

So you built one for last night.

[D]

I built one last night, yeah. And that rain delay.

[A]

Yeah, I'm not. First week bets are tough, but yeah, FanDuel's got that whole thing going and it is, it's remarkable. And actually I think of it because I'm an idiot of how hard it's going to be for me to hit the. You can make them less and be smarter. So you can take something and go, well, that's not going to happen and scooch it back. So if like Saquon Barkley, you had him for over 60 yards last night, you could have had him like 55. And he, he got 60. But I think they had him at like 80. But if it's 80, you can just scroll it back to 60 and they'd be like, well, you're not going to win much money. But put it in a parlay can make it really safe. So it actually, if you're a smart person and I am not, you can make all the bets like easy winners and build parlays and we're like $80. Or you can be like me and build giant lotto tickets that pay off like 3 million bucks because you're too stupid to realize that Aaron Rodgers won't throw for five touchdowns on Sunday. But, man, if he did, I get a million bets. Yeah, it's, you know, I mean, there is Sauce Gardner, although he's injured. So who's your football? Who's your Super Bowl? You said Bills and Lions yesterday. That's mine, too. What about you? I was with Dale. I went Eagles, Buffalo. That's right. All right, put your money on that right now. Put your money where your mouth is on FanDuel right now. And while you're at it, I'm going to show you a picture of the assumed posture of a human being in the year 2050. Scientists have gotten back to this. This is what the. In like AIs, they asked AI what the beauty standard for a woman is today.

[D]

Yep.

[A]

And AI gave us this picture. That'll work. There's a beautiful blonde lady with huge cans. Her lips are a little inflated, but she's still pretty natural looking. Although her waist is like a 22 inch waist and her cans are like 36Ds. They're gorgeous. Where's the problem? A lot of surgery, but it's natural surgery. Now, the way things are going with the way people are looking at beauty standards with lips getting bigger and things like that, I was asked to create what it thinks the future woman will look like. With all of our hunched over the phone stuff like, you know how we're like, you're doing it right now?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Hunched up over the phone. You're going to get something. It's got a, it's got a name. It's horrifying, but it's Got a name about what happens to your neck when you look down all the time.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, it becomes permanent and then it becomes like, what people? And you can't move it up.

[D]

Build that hunt shop.

[A]

Yeah. You build calcium and you do that. So asked AI, what do you think women will look like in 2050? And it did this.

[D]

Oh, my.

[A]

Perfect bodies. Giant lips. And our heads are pointed almost straight down from all the screen use because we don't put it up in front of our faces like we should.

[D]

It's like the BC cartoon.

[A]

It does. It is. But her body is amazing. If I showed you this, I'm like, look at. This is the chick I'm dating. You'd be like, nice. But her head. Yeah, but is just awful. So I assumes that our eyes are going to start to bulge because we're looking at tiny stuff all the time. Lips are going to be lips. It's Gollum. You're absolutely right. Our lips are going to be massive. At least ladies will, because the beauty standard seems to be trending in the ways of the bigger, the better for lips. Although that's got to eventually stop. So if we stay on this same course, we're going to be hunchbacks with great boobs and massive lips. And to be honest with you, so long as she has a nice personality, will we care? I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Of course we'll care. Let's see what's wrong. Tighten it up, ladies. Get that. Start looking. And if this is anything, AI is pretty good at stuff. How about we start practicing the phone in front of our faces, held high rather than down by our guts where we looked straight down at our chests. It's weird. The posture problem is terrible.

[D]

Yeah. You're at your desk a lot of times, too.

[A]

Sure. But you can still hold it up. Nobody puts their computer screen on the desk flat. But that's what we're doing with our phones. You know, computer screens, you'd complain if you're like, I'm going to here to buy a computer screen. And the guy just laid it down. You'd be like, well, put it on a stand or something. It's got to be up. Why would I stare down? You do it with your phone all the time. What's the difference? We have to start straightening that up. Because science isn't wrong when it comes to, like, what happens to your body when you look down 18 of the 24 hours a day, your neck will freeze. Like.

[D]

And when do they feel that's going to happen?

[A]

20, 50 is all they think at 25 years and 25 years, they're like, if we keep this up, there's a good chance we'll be unable to reverse the neck damage. It's like somebody with a bad back. They stay hunched because straightening up is hard or impossible. So. And then the other thing that'll start happening is more surgeries for your neck bones to straighten you out. But. Yeah, you want to be a hunchback? Keep it up. You'll see me from now on my phone above my head. I'm terrible about it. I actually lean it into my stomach and look straight. Now I watch you do it. You do it on the table a lot. I don't ever see you on your phone. I'm usually like this. Hey, you're pretty straight ahead. You use the armrest. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah, it works. Yours isn't bad, Brett. You actually won't be a hunchback of the future. I'm terrible. I'm gonna be a mess.

[D]

I do it to a lower down there, but this is how I usually do it.

[A]

Not when I'm watching you.

[D]

Yeah, well, because I'm not. I don't.

[A]

I don't want you to see. No, you don't want to die in the air. When you're, when you're, when you literally. You're like me. I don't think you realize it.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

When you're on your phone.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

You have it down on the counter.

[D]

Well, I can't droop the.

[A]

No, you don't. You don't ever have to worry about having a droopy neck. Cuz you need a neck for that. But yeah, your back turns into a c. You. I do the exact same thing. And then I, I, I slouch into my.

[D]

I might turtle up and I might end up the posture like you're. You're in law with the.

[A]

No with no. First off, let's not go crazy that we're related to that guy, because I'm not from another place. It's cousins married. My cousin related. I don't have cousin in law. It's not a thing. No, it's a cousin. She married a guy whose neck was surgically removed. I wish that. I wish that wasn't true, but that's very true. I'd give his name out so you guys could see it, but you guys would be jerks and like, make comments. If I could trust the entire audience to go, you got to take a look at this. But don't say anything. One of you'd be like, Holberg told us about this. Like, all right, they know me. Of course, when you say Holmberg told us about this, that's. Everyone in the city he lives in is named Holmberg. So anyway, I trust him. I swear to God. His neck was removed surgically and his little head rests on.

[D]

It's unique.

[A]

It's hilarious. He makes Brian Erlacher look like a giraffe. He's Scottish, he's got no neck, and he wears a lot of collared shirts. And it's hilarious. Like he said somebody should tell him v necks only, but he won't wear V necks. Don't have a neck. Oh, God, he's right. Well, then V chest it, because what you're doing ain't working with the. Yeah, he looks like Dracula. Yeah, just in a. Dracula in a polo. Because his polo collar goes up past his ears. Is everybody laughing at me? Well, it's because you got no neck. I know. I'm surgically removed. Don't you have any empathy for a man with no neck? Not when you wear giant collars. You look hilarious. You look like you got hammered into your shirt. Or maybe it felt like I got hammered into my shirt and that's why I had to have my neck removed. I know two people in my life that have had their necks surgically removed. Two. One was my friend, Colin's friend. And he didn't warn me. I want you to meet a friend of mine from Oklahoma. He's a good guy.

[D]

Don't look at him.

[A]

He didn't say anything. And we go to. We went to dinner to meet him and the dude shows up and you know what? He. And this was with my ex wife. And she's sitting there and she was a tall, thin woman and necklace guy sits there and I think Geneva had asked him, like, so are you married? Do you have a girlfriend? No. He was kind of a jerk about it. And she goes, well, what kind of lady are you interested in? I'm like, are you going to set him up? Do you know somebody with no neck? What are you doing? And he goes, somebody the opposite of you. I prefer my woman. A little meat on my bones. You're a little auschwitzy. I'm like, what the. And she started getting really upset. And I'm like, that was a. You're a jerk. He's picky. Yeah. How are you picky? And I know why he would say that a guy with no neck needs a fat lady to know where she is all the time. Because, I mean, if he can't turn fast so if she's, like, thin and moves, he's like, ah, where'd she go? Big lady's always like. A remnant of her is in his eyeline. Two people surgically removed next. I didn't even know that's a thing, John. Isn't that what a woman's face is supposed to be doing? Pointing down with huge lips being put to use? Yeah, yeah, in a weird way.

[D]

Well, you take a look at that. You don't. You don't like it that way. The way that I guess if all you're really.

[A]

If all you care about is the back of their heads, the future will be fine because that's what you're. That's all you're going to see. There's a front. I'm just rude. But yeah, if that's the future and you know it's just about the backs of their heads, then, yeah, Brett's. Brett's future is bright. I'm warning you, though, AI is calling it. You're all going to be hunched up messes. And I see it. I get so paranoid about that, though, like, wanting to sit up straight because I had the back surgery 15 years ago. And they're like, it's all posture. It's all posture. Keep your posture. And then you finally, you see yourself sinking slower and slower into the mess. Everybody sit up straight. That's what I'm telling you right now. That's it. Class has begun. Sit up straight. Put your feet on the floor. So look out for that. That's all I'm saying. We got ourselves an entertainment drill coming up in just moments. It's 98. It's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fee. I have heard enough of.
