Episode: Emailers Give Thoughts On Calendars – Thanking The General Public For All The New AI Created Gems Using Stephen Hawking, Hitler And Jesus On Skateboards And More
Date: October 7, 2025
Hosts: John Holmberg, Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, Dick Toledo

Episode Overview

This episode dives deep into two hilariously disjointed, but thematically connected, conversations: one about the absurdities and arbitrariness of calendars, and the other about the recent viral explosion of AI-generated videos depicting figures like Stephen Hawking, Hitler, and Jesus doing ridiculous stunts—such as skateboarding, surfing, and fighting in the UFC. The hosts riff on history, the dark humor enabled by AI tools, and the way the public instantly gravitates toward the most subversive, offensive, or absurd outputs possible when given new technology. They also briefly discuss the unintended consequences of marketing mascots like the Burger King King. The tone throughout is irreverent, self-aware, and peppered with banter.

Breakdown of Key Discussion Points

1. Calendars Are "A Waste of Time" (00:48–04:11)

• History & Absurdity of Our Calendar: John kicks off by reading from a listener email about the history of our calendar system, noting the haphazard nature of Roman emperors simply adding days to months for self-aggrandizement.
  • Notable Quote:
    Bret: “I think the calendar is a waste of time.” (02:27)
    John is floored by this, declaring: “That might be the most profound dumb thing I've ever heard in my life.” (02:44)
• Leap Years & Calendar Drift: Discussion about how leap years try to rectify our imperfect orbit calculations, but the system still “doesn’t hurt until it hurts.”
  • “It’s pretty remarkable that they were knocking that out pretty good with sundials and Galileo’s ideas.” – John (02:10)
• Cultural Differences in Calendars: Notes that different cultures (Native American, Jewish) use different calendars and celebrate New Year at various times (Jewish New Year, Yom Kippur Kipper), emphasizing the constructed, flexible nature of time tracking.

2. The Internet’s AI Obsessions – Hitler, Hawking, and Jesus Go Viral (04:11–16:27, continues throughout)

• AI Video Madness:
  • The hosts marvel at how, given powerful new tools like Sora, people immediately began creating outlandish AI videos: Stephen Hawking doing half-pipes, Hitler playing quarterback for the Chiefs, and Jesus skateboarding.
  • They gleefully recount their day spent exchanging AI clips.
    • “My favorite thing in the world right now, Hitler, Jesus and Hawking. And I think that’s a great band name, too.” – John (06:54)
  • Specific scenarios:
    • Hawking never lands his tricks, crashes constantly, or has his leg fall off in UFC matches.
    • Hitler winning the World Cup and getting booed as an NFL quarterback.
      • “A cascade of boos rains down on the field as Adolf Hitler comes in for the Chiefs donning the golden red.” – John (05:18)
    • AI-generated Jesus depicted as a “gorgeous, white guy” (Jared Leto or Viggo Mortensen type), much to the skepticism of the hosts (08:44–09:10).
• Why These Figures?
  • Rapid “escalation” into making of the most taboo, absurd, or controversial figures doing silly things—because extremity is hilarious and subversive.
    • “It took us an hour to go put Hitler in it. … We didn’t do anything nice. … Shaking hands with Patrick Mahomes.” – John (10:31)
  • Social media is abuzz; none of the new AI tools appear to filter out Hitler content.
    • “Meta hasn’t put the brakes on AI as far as 'let’s leave Hitler alone.'” – Toledo (11:16)
• Potential Dangers:
  • John worries: “The only dangerous thing is that people will start thinking [Hitler’s] funny … softening what Hitler is.” (11:31)
  • But mostly, they just want absurd entertainment:
    “I don’t want actual history from my AI … I want him surfing and people. I still feel like maybe I’m in control of the planet.” – John (11:48)

3. The Ethics and Irreverence of AI Content (16:14–23:51)

• AI & Boundaries:
  • Viewers moved quickly from silly to sexual—AI porn involving Hitler and other historical figures surfaces.
    • “I do … I don’t want to, but I’m not turning away from it.” – Brady, re: seeing Hitler in AI porn (16:22)
  • The hosts acknowledge the allure of absurd curiosity, even when it’s clearly “wrong.”
• Gallows Humor and the Human Need to Laugh:
  • John expounds: “Gallows humor is one of the greatest things that’s ever been given to mankind. … If you can’t laugh at Stephen Hawking or even Hitler on a half pipe—I know it’s wrong, but man, that’s what we need more of.” (26:56)
  • Warns of cultural risk: public outrage is inevitable, but most people “just want a laugh and some relief.”

4. AI Video Escalation and Generational Gaps (23:48–25:31)

• Discussion about how older generations might not understand why these AI videos are funny (“That’s Hitler fighting Stephen Hawking”).
  • “My dad would look at this and go, what is that? … I don’t know that my dad would understand why that’s funny, but for me, I do.” – John (24:00)

5. The Burger King King and the Consequences of Creepy Ads (17:23–19:04)

• Backstory on why the creepy Burger King mascot disappeared: it gave children nightmares, resulting in families avoiding Burger King.
  • “If I was a kid, that would have been— but him looking in the windows…” – Brady (19:24)
  • The hosts riff on how advertising can go horribly wrong when mascots cross a line from funny to horrifying.

6. Wheelchairs, Stunt Risk, and Hawking’s Endurance (34:05–36:20)

• Discussion, spurred by AI Hawking content, about real wheelchair athletes (“Wheels”), perceptions of risk, and the limits of joke material on disabled figures.
  • “If you’re already paralyzed, what’s the risk?” – John (34:36)
  • “If I was in a wheelchair, like, cliff diving would happen every day. … Just shove me in there. Let’s see how I land.” – John (35:08)

7. Closing Banter & Music Segment (36:20–38:11)

• The hosts choose the “wake up song” for the day—Kill Switch Engage’s “Holy Diver”—riffing that it’s inspired by Trevor Lawrence being caught on national TV picking his nose.
• More joking about AI, Jesus, and Android/iPhone texting.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On AI’s Use:
  “We immediately said, let’s make Hitler do stuff. … It’s outrageously hilarious and it’s so real.” – John (08:00)
• On Irreverence:
  “Phrase right there: Do you got Hitler on a skateboard? … Of course I’ve got Hitler on a skateboard. And now we can say that. Brett, 10 years ago, if you’d have said, hey, do you have a picture of Hitler on a skateboard? I’d have been like, that’s insane. Hilarious, though. And now you say it. And yes, I do.” – John (14:22)
• On Jokes vs. Outrage:
  “We’re a terrible group. … And these are awful. … We have the nerve to clutch our pearls about what someone says… The Internet… The muffins are out of the tin, dude. Good luck stuffing those back in.” – John (15:09)
• On Gallows Humor:
  “Gallows humor is one of the greatest things that’s ever been given to mankind... If you can’t laugh at Stephen Hawking or even Hitler on a half pipe—I know it’s wrong, but man, that’s what we need more of.” – John (26:56)
• On Technological Priorities:
  “We didn’t use [AI] for the good… We used all this technology to make Tupac and Stephen Hawking cuss at you. And I’m all for it.” – John (20:49)
• On AI Generations:
  “How long has it been? Around 14 days… and the most we’ve gotten out of it so far is Hitler doing stuff with Stephen Hawking and God knows what else.” – John (22:13)

[A]

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

[B]

All right, HMS Podcast, time again to let you know where to go for.

[A]

Some great comedy in the Valley this week.

[B]

For the complete lineups and for tickets.

[A]

Go to standuplive.com desertridgeimprov.com and tempeimprov.com.

[C]

You'Ve.

[B]

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. That man's bananas. It's. Thanks. Miles to nowhere. That's Katie and the Hobbs getting us to this particular time on a Tuesday morning at 6:56. How am I sounding? Bread. Am I all right? Does that seem new?

[A]

Yeah. No, I think you're sounding good.

[B]

Thanks, buddy. I don't know anymore. You know, one. One swing of the saber and the confidence drops out. Now I'm listening to me as I speak. It's just not right. This guy says. And this is the weird thing about those. We were talking about calendars and how Gregorian and Julian and all that there is. I've read about this, and this just scares you. There may have been a Roman emperor that skipped years to be king in the year 1000. There's our calendar. First off. This is how scientific it was when they put it together. You know why August has 31 days? Or, you know, some. Some had 30. 31 is because July had it because Julius Caesar wanted to name have the longest month of the year. And then Augustus or something like that. One of these dudes comes along and says, well, my son needs a long month. So we were just adding days to make months longer in tribute. We were, like, treating him like Oscars, like, well, you got August. Now that's yours. I named it after you. That's it. So there you go. So we would add days, and so who knows how?

[A]

We're just guessing. Anyway.

[B]

It's pretty remarkable that we stayed on point to go around the sun. But there's like every thousand years, like a day off, but it doesn't hurt until it hurts.

[C]

Well, what.

[A]

Isn't that with, like, leap years?

[B]

Yeah, we're not quite 24 hours. So after every four years, we have to add a day to just be like. That gets us back on point. But, I mean, we've got it kind of figured out at this point. But it's pretty remarkable that they were. They were knocking that out Pretty good with sundials, basically, and, you know, Galileo's ideas.

[A]

I think it's just a waste of time.

[B]

You think the calendar's a waste of time? What an ironic thing to say.

[A]

The whole thing with this moron over there. Nobody knows.

[B]

I don't know if you recognize how deep what you just said was. I think the calendar is a waste of time.

[A]

Kinda is.

[B]

That might be the most profound dumb thing I've ever heard in my life. You know, calendars are just a waste of time. My God. Either Brett's a court stone.

[A]

According to this, it is a waste of time because it keeps changing.

[B]

Depends on which one time. Yeah, there's a. There's an argument.

[A]

You go, then it's a waste of time.

[B]

God damn it. That is if we can't figure out.

[A]

Which calendar to use. For Christ's sake.

[B]

That's. I can't get out of this. You just dropped me into some sort of. I think you just invented quantum physics. Again, I'm too stupid to understand what you just said. But that was deep. So deep. Put her ass to sleep. Anyway. Yeah. Last night, watching Trevor Lawrence pick his nose. I think half the country went full Caddyshack and said, spalding Bucks says he eats it. Yeah, it was just gross. Anyway, the calendar thing, well done. And. Yeah, now everybody's a calendar expert.

[A]

And.

[B]

I don't know, like, Native Americans have different stuff, too, right?

[A]

I think so.

[B]

I mean, yeah.

[A]

There's more than one calendar.

[B]

Jews just had New Year, like, a week.

[A]

They did?

[B]

Yeah. Yom Kippur Keeper. Kipper.

[A]

Figured you'd know that.

[B]

I don't know how it works. I don't know how any of it works, but it's very weird. And all this on Amazon Prime Day, which I always thought was. Oh, man, I got to go shop. Yeah, let's go to break. I got stuff to do now, because you won't have to pay the bill because it's all gone.

[A]

So at least hopefully which calendar they go.

[B]

Well, that's true. Get the overnight delivery just in case it's soon. And then, you know, just skip your AMEX at the end of the month. Who cares? It's all coming to an end, man. By the way, I'd like to thank the general public for what you've done with my time. When there's football and baseball on, I have the split screen going. I actually muted the games last night just to have them in the background so I could watch Hitler, Jesus and Stephen Hawking on a half pipe. Whatever. AI is Doing. I cannot get enough.

[C]

The Hawking on a half pipe is awesome. The drop in, he never lands.

[B]

And he was. He was an F1 car the other day. I didn't see that one, but I saw.

[C]

I saw about nine different skateboard drop ins.

[B]

I started my day getting. You know, we send each other horrible things. And last night, I don't know if you guys noticed, I was on a roll. I was sending. I was a lot coming in because I found Hitler, Jesus and Hawking competing in. In the X Games. I was pissing myself. It's so real now. So. Yeah, and. And one of them was Joe Buck. And I'm watching the Chiefs on tv and then I'm like, oh, is this a highlight? What happened to Patrick Mahomes? And it's number 15 for the Chiefs is running on the field. And Joe Buck says, a cascade of booze rains down on the field as Adolf Hitler comes in for the Chiefs donning the golden red. And he turns around and it's. It says Hitler on his back. And it's just his little face in the helmet. And I'm like, this is. Oh, here's Stephen Hawking in a half pipe. It's. He never lands it. Is this you? Yeah, no, this. He never. Dropping in on the giant Burt ramp. This is history. Picking up speed, rolling smooth. Look at this, he goes for the ninth. Oh, he landed that one. I've never seen him land one. Nope. There you go. He always ends up dropping in on the giant ramp. This is history. There is nothing better than making one.

[C]

Where he was tapping out somebody in the ufc.

[B]

He's fighting. Oh, he was in a. Remember those old. The robot wars they used to have, like, colleges would build little robots and they'd have fights. He was one of them. And he was kicking ass on this thing that had a saw blade in the front. Oh, my God. If this is what AI does for us, count me in as indoctrinated. I will. It's harmless because I'm not going to watch it do anything political. There he is fighting in the ufc. Oh, man. Come on, man.

[A]

Hawking's actually better built than I thought he was.

[B]

He's working out for. He's training for UFC fight.

[C]

He lost his leg. Look at his leg.

[B]

Did it fall off? Yeah. Watch at the end. The guy's hitting him from behind. He's in the chair. Watch this. Watch. There goes his leg. Oh, Christ. It just falls. This is why I'm on the planet. I didn't realize. This is it then. Brett, how dare you assume that I wouldn't train for a fight in the ufc. I am in great shape under my clothes. Oh, there he is in the wwe. Oh, he just got his back broken in the chair. Oh my God. No, I almost. I cannot get enough of what's happening on the computer. So between. Look, I never thought I'd say this, but my favorite thing in the world right now, Hitler, Jesus and Hawking. And I think that's a great band name too. Oh, if you can find Hitler for the Chiefs and it's just the way they introduce it. You didn't. I. I didn't see it coming. Oh, that guy's awes too. That roundtable of that black dude that just yells at women all day. Oh, there's. Yeah, Adolf's all over and I don't know when this started. This seems like relatively like recent, like the last couple days and well, it's.

[C]

A couple of the new AIs have, have released new versions of what they.

[B]

Can do, but we're making Hitler do stuff. Immediately the general population got access to the greatest technology of all time for video and. And we immediately said, let's make Hitler do stuff. That it's. It's horribly funny. And I mean that in the truest form of those two words. It is outrageously hilarious and it's so real. Like Hitler won the World cup for Germany and they interviewed him after the game and it was just so awkward to see. It's just such a fish out of water deal. But Jesus on the half pipe and the flowing gowns and the. It was awesome. I mean, it's going to be used for evil.

[C]

This is one of the new ones. They did Jesus based on the shrouded Turin.

[B]

Oh my God. There's no way Jesus looked like that, by the way.

[C]

That is.

[B]

That's Viggo Mortensen.

[C]

Exactly.

[A]

Jared Leto over there.

[B]

Yeah, that dude's gorgeous. And white and insanely white. He was from kind of from Egypt. Right? It was awfully close. And you could say, well, the Jews in Israel, they moved there, guys.

[A]

Well, you said your friend had the blonde hair Jesus pictures.

[B]

Oh, the Mormons think he's a surfer.

[A]

Blonde hair, blue eyed like Bodhi from Point Break or what?

[B]

Only yeah, a little less attractive. He's like, he's almost like Patrick Swayze's brother Don the. Yeah, but make. Make blonde Mormon Jesus do stuff too. Make him fight Hitler. I mean, remember how great South Park's first episode was, Santa vs. Jesus? And everybod thought it was great. Now you can actually do it. Oh I, I, I swear to you. You want to talk about wasting your life? And yesterday I had kind of a weird day. So at the end of the day I just, I plopped down on the couch and I hit that. I was on it for an hour and man. And you know what the good thing was? It finally wasn't like I want to say it wasn't inappropriate. Like things that'll get you fired. Things that we send each other. The Hitler playing for the Chiefs. Can't but like Jesus on a skateboard and Stephen Hawking just crashing constantly. That's why I breathe earth's air Entertainment.

[C]

Like that let's that had be all.

[A]

Day because it started here when we were sitting here after the show watching stuff.

[B]

Yeah. I started and you're like look at this. I did. Yes. I found a couple with you after the the the JUOP show and then just went on all day. It was remarkably funny. I couldn't stop laughing. I had tears coming out. Like this is their and it's mainly it's not so much that the videos are good. It's that people went there first. It took us an hour to go put Hitler in it. Like we didn't even dabble around with wow, you know, I can make Jack Nicholson talk to Gregory Peck. We didn't do anything nice. We did it with Hitler. Shaking hands with Patrick Mahomes. I don't know why.

[A]

Oh man.

[B]

So and it's not just a person teams scores of human beings went to what can we make Hitler do? And not, you know, Hitler supporters. People who recognize this is so outrageous.

[C]

It's funny and meta hasn't put the brakes on AI as far as let's leave Hitler alone. No, they haven't put that into the program yet.

[B]

The only dangerous thing is and here's a phrase that you don't hear. The only dangerous thing with Hitler. Hitler is.

[C]

Uhoh.

[B]

No, the only dangerous thing is is that people will start like thinking he's funny. Like it'll start softening what Hitler is.

[C]

Maybe somebody just sent this one. It's Hitler in his own voice, but in English.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, this is real. They translated it. That's pretty German. My work for correctness. Whether you believe that I have been diligent, that I have worked. I don't like that. See now I don't want to see those. I like him skateboarding and stuff. Make him surf, put him, put him in things. I don't want actual history from my AI. I've already got actual history. I want Some made up stuff. I want him surfing and people. I still feel like maybe I'm in control of the planet. Because if I were to do anything, I'd say, all right, folks, entertain me with historical figures doing stuff. They said, there's Hitler surfing. I knew. I knew it would. I can't not find that funny. I think it's having the time of his life. Damn it. So thank you and Stop it.

[C]

I'm gonna stop that. Pandora's been out of the box for too long.

[B]

But I'm telling you, man, we've had this technology for three years, and the way we mastered it is to put Hitler at doing stuff. And that I didn't. I would. I lost that bet. Homburg's morning sickness. Medicate. K U P D. Holmberg's morning sickness. I would have. I would have thought we went porn first. We. We did.

[A]

No, we did do that too. Nice.

[B]

That's Jesus. Surfing is just too beautiful. You know, he'd be good at it.

[A]

It's almost hair flowing and everything.

[B]

He's not.

[C]

The robe's not wet.

[B]

What's he need a surfboard for? He can walk on water. Yeah, I'm not impressed by that one. I don't find Jesus doing things funny because I assume he can do everything Hitler. Like taking a break from his job. He seems super intense. So anytime I see him kind of relaxing or playing sports and stuff, it's just. It's what we decided to do with AI first. And I find it just hilarious. Great job, people. Great work. You're gonna keep searching for me too. You're gonna mess up. You're gonna mess up everything. This is why I sound different.

[A]

Look at there, he's doing a hand. Oh, nice.

[B]

Oh, okay. See? But again, I see Jesus on a skateboard. I. I'm thinking he invented all those moves, you just never saw him doing them.

[A]

Got Hitler on a skateboard again.

[B]

Phrase right there.

[C]

Do you got.

[B]

Do you got Hitler on a skateboard? Is like, do you have chicken sandwiches? No. Do you have Hitler on a skateboard? Of course I've got Hitler on a skateboard. And now we can say that. Brett, 10 years ago, if you'd have said, hey, do you have a picture of Hitler on a skateboard? I'd have been like, that's insane. Hilarious, though. And now you say it. And yes, I do. Hang on a second is my answer. If I don't, I can make it. We're a terrible group. Just terrible. And these are awful. What you're pulling up. It's Just, there he is on a big longboard. Those are the dumb ones. The new ones are so real. When he took the field for the Chiefs. And that one I saw last night. And he just runs on the field and just great writing. A cascade of boos rains down as Andy Reid goes to Hitler as his quarterback. We're terrible. We're a terrible group who occasionally has the nerve to clutch our pearls about what someone says. Can you imagine this society and all the things you see on the Internet occasionally gets mad at Jimmy Kimmel or Gutfeld or me or anybody who said, that's something I didn't like, really get over it. Cuz the Internet. And you just, you know, you can't sit and say, we have to stop this kind of behavior. And people, they, okay, yeah, the muffins are out of the tin, dude. Good luck stuffing those back in. And it doesn't mean everybody's free to just scream, whatever. But when we've got Hitler, AI, it's. Come on. The guy said, I hate to tell you this, John, because it's going to ruin you. AI People did go with porn first. I have seen multiple AI porn videos of Adolf, and he's doing it with historical figures I won't mention.

[C]

Wait, what?

[B]

Yeah, he's having sex. I don't want to see Hitler having sex. I want to see him doing funny stuff that. Well, yeah, I kind of. You know what? Yeah, you do?

[A]

I do. I do.

[B]

I don't want to, but I'm not turning away from it.

[A]

It's the curiosity. It's not like you're gonna search it.

[B]

Out, but if it shows up, you're gonna watch it, right? If it's there, I'm like, all right, what is this? And then you'd probably hear me go, it's like when in the Hangover when Alan made the baby beat off. That's right. It was awful. But all of us laughed. Even Ed Helms when he did it in the movie. Stop it. Like, you know it's bad, but you can't help but find it so absurd. But, man, I spent an hour last night watching Hawking on that pipe and Toledo showed me videos. That's the first one I've seen him land. Every one of them has been a horrific crash one. His chair started to smoke, he landed, the battery went out. So good. So incredibly good. Sorry, I got distracted. And then I saw a thing last night, also that. Do you know why? Remember the old Burger King? King? The weird scary one? You know why they stopped that?

[C]

The one with the plastic head looking one.

[B]

Yeah, it was. They got too many people saying their kids were having nightmares. Burger King had to admit, this is the mayor.

[C]

McCheese.

[B]

No, Ronald. Because they said the similar thing started to happen when clowns started to show up. And I think it was the 80s or 90s maybe that. Remember when people were just dressed as clowns just standing there trying to scare. It might have been more recent than that. And then you started to notice that McDonald's was like less Ronald. Like they kind of went away from the Burger King. People had to admit immediately, like, oh yeah, our king we thought was funny. Oh, crazy clown sightings 2016. It was said you started to see Ronald McDonald a little bit less because clowns got a bad rap. It came out and all that stuff. So they pulled back on that Burger King had that 15 years of that weird king. I didn't realize it was that long.

[A]

That was longer than that, actually.

[B]

Did you?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I don't remember the King with that big plastic head that would just show up and he would be in your windows. Evidently it's a peeping Tom. Families wouldn't go to Burger King anymore because the kids were horrified. And they started to say, I'm having dreams about it. They had nightmares. So that a number of learnings from creepy King and we had to move away from him because of his limited appeal with children. We received several notes and different styles of correspondence saying that people couldn't come to Burger King anymore because their children were afraid of the King.

[C]

That's the one.

[B]

Yeah, that thing. And they thought he would be funny and they couldn't have been more wrong. Yeah. I didn't know that's why they pulled the advertising. That was it.

[C]

Whole super bowl campaign a few years ago.

[B]

Oh, I think Burger King. Well, because. Yeah, they'd parade him around at sporting events and like he'd just show up. But I think somewhere along the line they realized he was creepy when he started to just show up in people's cars and like, it was just weird. I liked him, but I wasn't. I was a grown up. If I was a kid, that would have been.

[A]

But him looking in the windows.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Commercials.

[B]

He was just sitting in someone and the guy sees him in the rear view and he freaks out because there's the King and he just hands him a bag of Burger King and makes it okay. But it's. It's really strange. Yeah. So they had to. I didn't know that. So. Yeah. Again, my, my. My night last night was. And I can Say this. I never thought I would live long enough to say I was just chock full of Hitler and Hawking skateboarding videos and then burn. Oh, is it. He's riding a bull. Is this happening? No way. Is that Hawking on a bull. I calculate an 8% chance of survival. Hang on. Oh, he's getting stopped. Oh, he fell off and he got stuck.

[C]

And then he's still on. Here's another one with Sora.

[B]

Is that Tupac? Yeah. He's going to cuss. Is he gonna meet Hitler? Oh, no, he's hanging out with Hawking. I watched a lot of Mr. Rogers and Tupac last night, too. Yeah, there's a ton of. There's a whole. This. We are out here. You don't want no smoke. I don't know what they're saying. It makes me very nervous. Did he say, you can't have this? There is one thing that is for sure. You cannot with the Hawk.

[C]

So that's a new AI Engine, I think, called Sora.

[B]

It's amazing. And we didn't use it for good. We didn't use it to, like, how can this help us fix cancer?

[C]

We did it for plenty of good.

[B]

No, we didn't. We didn't use it for the good.

[C]

We'Re having right now.

[B]

People are still blind. People have diseases. There's tumors. There's. Evidently, there's still aids. Nope. We use all this technology to make Tupac and Stephen Hawking cuss at you. And I'm all for it. If it's a world with terrible diseases that kills us. And in, you know, in replacement of that, we get Tupac and Mr. Rogers wrestling. Okay. Bob Ross was another one losing his mind every time he makes a mistake. I didn't know it was AI at first because happy little tree lives right here. Oh, nope. That looks like I hate art. And then he just freaks out. It was awesome. We now use AI Yeah.

[C]

Sora's been out two weeks, and this is. This is the one.

[B]

Two weeks. Look at the spade building on that chair.

[C]

He's locked in.

[B]

Coming up the wall. I never stop laughing at Stephen Hawking. And a half I love Everybody Runs to a. Why does that get me? I've seen it 18 times now. Every time I laugh. Yeah, the UFC one was pretty solid, too.

[C]

Here's a new one.

[B]

Another ufc. This is. That's not a good one. All right, That's. I don't like when they make them talk. I like when there's Joe Rogan over the top of it. Yeah, but that Was it. How long has it been? Around 14 days, two weeks Fortnite.

[C]

Not even quite a fortnight.

[B]

And the most we've gotten out of it so far is Hitler doing stuff with Stephen Hawking and God knows what else. Think of all the historic figures that we can lean into on this. Crazy. Crazy. So congratulations, world. This is what you've, this is what you've come to see. What do you got? You have to stop eventually. No, keep going.

[A]

Somebody find the hook.

[C]

I haven't seen it yet.

[B]

Oh, he's. He's in a. He's on a 30 meter board. He's gonna do a dive. God damn it. I don't even look like him. All right, here we go. They're Hawk him and he just, it just falls in. Come on. Oh, this is ranking the best Stephen Hawking SORA edits. I I, by the way, I've just now heard of sora, right? And this. And it's brought me great entertainment so far. It's ridiculous. And I know grandparents and older people who aren't into this would see this and be like, yeah. Oh, no, he's speeding around in races. He's in a go. Karthi. I know. Like my, like older people, 70, 80, like, my dad would look at this and go, what is that? Like, oh, that's Hitler. That's Hitler fighting Stephen Hawking. Yeah, Robot Wars. And he's got a hatchet on his. And I don't know that my dad would understand why that's funny, but for me, I do. Yeah, there is running over the Dallas Cowboys touchdown. But that's what we did with it immediately. We grabbed Stephen Hawking, we brought him back to life. And nobody would appreciate that more than Stephen Hawking because he was actually hilarious. His delivery was a little weird, but.

[C]

John, keep dosing me up. Laughter's the best medicine.

[B]

Yeah, I agree. Yeah, keep, keep that IV just dripping because otherwise you got to pay attention to reality and that doesn't seem fun. But my only concern is, is that we soften the Hitler and we make him kind of a funny thing. And I don't know, over time we've made jokes about like, you know, Genghis Khan's a riot now. You know, as you get older, the people who do terrible things become kind of funny. So maybe it's just happening in front of us.

[C]

John, you were worried earlier about how you sounded. I look forward to the day in 2045 when we replaying today's and the phrase that says, I spent an hour watching Hawking on That pipe.

[B]

Oh, in 40. In 20 years, 30 years. When you're talking, we can actually make it happen in front of you. It'll be a hologram. It'll be great. By the way, I don't know if you've met radio executives. There won't be a radio to listen to that phrase.

[C]

John, I know you know this, but you are a horrible, horrible person.

[B]

Yeah, I know. Oh, no, I know, but I'm not the one making the videos, so I have.

[A]

There's a. NASCAR is in nascar.

[B]

Damn it, Brett. Enough Hawking. He's in a power chair, and he is flat out racing the field. He just passed the 11 car down low. He's holding. Oh, he's in. Oh, we land in the wall.

[A]

This celebration.

[B]

Oh, he survived it. He.

[A]

Pour beer on him.

[B]

Fat girls. Fat girls are pouring beer on him again. That's all we did with it. Oh, man. I don't know. I just. I don't know how. I don't know how the future is going to look, but I kind of like what's going on right now, that's for sure.

[C]

We're going to have to. We're going to have to, like, post all of these links. All right, here's. Here's a new one. You mentioned Bob Ross.

[B]

No, don't. So don't say there's a new one. Somebody. Hockey fight. And it's so real. Like, it just looks like Bob Ross fighting. Does look real. This new AI Is real. Holmberg's morning sickness. It's. I don't want to see any of those because there's the Crocodile Hunter. No, no, turn it off. Because I did this already last night, and I can't stop. Nick D emails. He says, Bob Ross versus Mr. Rogers in a wrestling match. Yeah, it was a ladder match. I saw that one, too. It's pretty good. And then. Yeah, it's. It's what we do. It's. It's our first reaction to everything, which is. And I like that, you know, that's truth. If you want to get into, like, a weird explanation of it. The true matter of things is people want levity. Nobody wants to live in this maudlin, weird, everything's bad economy, you know, chatter, politics, nonsense. All we want is a laugh and some relief. And so even we take the most. It's. Gallows humor is one of the greatest things that's ever been given to mankind. And that's when you really realize who can be your friend and who can't, is if you don't have gallows Humor. I'm not friends with you. You're going to get offended or you've got a stick up your ass and you don't have that release valve. I have a feeling you're going to be pent up and angry a lot. You wear a lot of purple, your boobs hang low, that kind of thing. You know, you probably shaved half your head and you put like a long boobs. Yeah. You get long boobs and you're just not happy with things. But if you can't laugh at Stephen Hawking or even Hitler on a half pipe. I know it's wrong, but, man, that's what we need more of. A whole lot more. All right, absurdities, I guess, as long as we keep it on the computer. But the scary part is there are going to be a ton of people who. Who don't understand that and I'll get mad at it. And another group that'll dig their heels in and make Hitler a hero because no. You know.

[C]

Right. Got. No blind.

[B]

Yeah. And they'll be the loud ones that make it all kind of crappy. Meanwhile, all of us sitting in the middle are just like, come on, it's a laugh. It goes away the second it's over. It's over. Anyway, how am I sounding? Bright. Am I still. Is it still me? Yeah. Tripped. Ruined it.

[C]

I would know for 13 years. He heard you.

[B]

No, no. Trip ruined it. He ruined it. I don't know. I listen to those best dogs and you just sound different. I guess it's just age. Are you calling me old? No, but you're older, so you are. This is like how. This is what you do when you break up with a woman and you're. When you're 70 and you're dating a 53 year old, this is how you break up with him, isn't it?

[A]

You just, you know, it's not you.

[B]

It's not. I think I'm just older. And you're older, too. Oh, I see. Who's that new girl in your car?

[A]

Trading you in for a new model?

[B]

Oh, she's the new sales girl. She's in the car. I'm going to lunch with her and she's like 30. Yeah. Anyway, you just sound different to me. Maybe I'm growing out of it. Damn it. That's gonna live with me for a day or two. People like me are fragile, confident people. Jay Moore said it best. He goes, people with a brain that wants to be fun or entertaining also come with the. The gene that racehorses have. They're powerful They're. They have one goal. They have a mission. Don't spook them. And you can spook us. Don't. You're laughing for all the wrong reasons. No, you're laughing for the wrong reasons. Don't spook the racehorse. Has nothing to do with why you're laughing. No, no, no, no. That's the thing. What do you got on the big board? Musical.

[A]

Three half pipe.

[B]

Is wrong.

[A]

I don't want to be right.

[B]

Exactly. You know what? Make that AI song. I don't wanna be right. Who's saying that? Loving you is wrong, Wrong. Loving you is wrong. I know. Trips at home going.

[C]

So hold on a second. Now. The show has a couple of entourages of content creators. Brett's got his crew, now John's got his crew.

[B]

I'm not asking for anything. Well, yeah, I am. I like to stumble across it. You know what else I have a problem with? And this is why I can't have social media. I do. Fitz started an Instagram page that's a burner so he and I could look at old pictures of Las Vegas because we're both fascinated with the growth of Las Vegas and, like, old. Like, how much it's changed every 10 years. The strip is brand new, and so he's financed so we. He would share it. And he goes. And I said, I don't have Instagram. I can't watch these videos. So he set up this, like, burner thing so we could do that. And all it's turned into for me is whenever you idiots send me an Instagram thing, I can now scroll through and find the other ones. And it has gotten me. I have a huge problem buying all of the ads. I fall for all of them. You want apps like this? Buy now. Click. Your feet hurt. Buy now. Click. Orthotics. I need those. I have purchased so much garbage off those inner. And you guys just scroll past it. What are you laughing at? Don't. I don't want to hear what you're reading. And I'm scrolling past all these ads. I can't help myself. Nope, nope. I've been watching those, too. Is this funny? Did you watch it? I think so.

[A]

Here's the other thing we talked about earlier, though, which was with the fire alarms.

[B]

Damn it. I have a dream that one day my people can figure out to stop the beeping noise that comes out of our ceiling. See, it wasn't bad. I watched a lot of MLK stuff yesterday, too.

[A]

Yeah, that one was good. That was okay.

[B]

That was super. No, he most of them were safe. They were. I mean. That's it again.

[A]

Oh, hang on.

[B]

I gotta pull it back up. Sorry. It's so real. It's like. It's so real looking. Hang on. Oh, the things we're gonna do with this is just so bad. Oh, my God. I have a dream that one day my people can figure out to stop the beeping noise that comes out of our ceilings. It's so real. Oh, I'm going home. Back to what you're supposed to do. What's the. I don't know what that one is. I killed it. Yeah. What is the wake up song for today?

[A]

Oh, yeah, that's the wake up song.

[B]

Brought to you by Action. I'm still thinking of the. Oh, I wonder if at Action ride shop you were in a hawking chair. If Josh could. Could get like that going, I'll put.

[A]

You on a half pipe or something.

[B]

No, no, no. Like, get you an off road chair.

[C]

Oh, they have those.

[B]

I know, but like, they give you what you get. But like, can pivot make one. Can I get like an off road bike chair? Yeah.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

I bet you he could. Like, there's got to be stuff that.

[A]

Enough money, they'll do whatever.

[B]

That's very true. Excellent.

[A]

You got Hawking's money.

[B]

Yeah, no problem. Honking Had a nice bike. Yeah, he kind of invented the E bike. Really? Oh, Lord. Yeah. Make it stop. No. And. Oh, it's four grand, but that's one of those just topsy turvy.

[C]

It's got a shock absorber center.

[B]

Yeah. But I'm talking about like, for like B.F. goodrich mud terrains.

[C]

Oh, you want the bigger one.

[B]

I want. No, I want one that goes out in the dirt.

[C]

That's what this one claims to be.

[B]

Yeah. You're not clearing many rocks in that. The trails I go on with my bike. That thing's getting stuck.

[A]

Yeah, you're tipping.

[B]

Yeah, I'm talking about like, like a bro dozer of wheelchair, you know, that's sort of a thing. It's got four bike tires. Yeah, There you go.

[A]

Fat tires.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That's like a green machine.

[B]

Yeah, it is like a green. It's still too low though.

[A]

Got the sticks and everything.

[B]

The front end is still going to grab rocks. You're still not getting over stuff. It needs to be reversed. It needs to be flipped around where there's one wheel in the front and two in the back.

[C]

I see what you're saying. You're not going over out on the Haas trailhead.

[A]

With that, I think this is more for balance. So, like, you do that one in front, it's like an ATC back in the day.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Well, you know, maybe they shouldn't do it. I mean, what's the worst gonna happen? You fall off and everything.

[C]

That's. What. What's his name, Wheels? The. The dude that does the skateboard stuff on. He's paralyzed, and he does tricks like Hawking.

[B]

Here's the thing about that, though. I don't watch that with any sort.

[C]

Of peril for Wheels, because, you know, he can't.

[B]

Nothing can happen. Like, you watch skateboarders. You're like, I can really get hurt doing that. You watch Wheels, it's like, well, he's already hurt.

[C]

Yeah. All right.

[B]

I mean, the only thing that could happen is miraculously his spine snaps back together and he gets out. I don't watch. It's. Maybe it's just a disconnect in my brain, but I don't watch, like, wheelchair people doing great feats and think this is dangerous. It's like, there's nothing that bigot. No, there's nothing bad that can happen. I need some sort of, you know, intrigue or, like, if you're already paralyzed, what's the risk?

[C]

All right, this doesn't even. That looks fun, but it doesn't look like.

[B]

Oh, man, that's a. That's a bulldozer with a seat on top. Yep. Yeah, I don't. I know. No offense to people in wheelchairs. I mean, you just don't. And I'm not entertained by you.

[C]

Here's one. This one will stand you up.

[B]

Oh, no, I've seen those. That thing's got, like, 40 wheels. Yeah, that's. Jesus, that's like chair Game of Thrones on wheels.

[C]

Yeah, look, it stands you up.

[B]

I'll just. Yeah. I don't have. I don't know what it would take for me to watch people in wheelchairs doing stuff that would make me go, oh, careful. Like, I. If I was in a wheelchair, like, cliff diving would happen every day. Like, I just pushed me out of it. Like, what is the worst. You'd hit your head. I hit my head. I'm fine. If I hit my head. That's a sweet relief at this point. Yeah, just shove me in there. Let's see how I land. I mean, you might break a bone. I won't feel it. We're good. It could mess you up more. Really? Have you seen me? I'm Stephen Hawking. Push me. And don't get the computer Wet. That's all I'm asking. I don't know. That's me. Brett, what do you got?

[A]

All right, wake up. So I'm brought to you by Action Ride Shop, and Josh could even get you a Hawking bike if you need it. He'll take care of you. Oh, yeah?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You'd be on that Hoss trailhead in no time at all. But you just got to go visit them over there at the brand new location on power Road and McDowell. Like I said, right off the Hoss trailhead or at the OG store on Gilbert Road in Southern. They got all the bikes, all the gear, and the best wrenches in town to get you on that trail and keep you on the trail. It's Action Rideshop, actionrideshop.com on the list. Megadeth's new one. They just came out, I think yesterday or day before Tipping Point. Pantera the Ghost Inside Kill Switch Engage Holy Diver for Trevor Lawrence. Fire in the sky from Ozzy for the End of the World. Supernova Goes Pop for the End of the World. Cold Chamber Demon Hunter Descendants Papa Roach Slayer. Van Halen really focused in on that.

[B]

End of the world thing again. We already went through that a week ago. We gotta deal with this twice because Jesus brought the wrong clock.

[A]

Maybe it's like when he got off the plane, it didn't reset to the new time zone and stuff like that.

[B]

He doesn't have Apple. He didn't.

[A]

He's got an Android.

[C]

You know if he's a green.

[B]

Yeah. If you got a text from Jesus and it was green, how disappointing would that be?

[A]

Oh, yeah. Got a poor people phone.

[B]

Your kids. Are you. Do you have an Apple? Yes, my son. Well, you're. You're running on text. You're doing sms. What's wrong with you? Get back to blue. I can't figure that out. You invented it, didn't you? Well, I know about it. I didn't necessarily invent it. You know everything. You should get the blue. Like, text me with what's coming. Right? You already know the future I'm stuck here with. I'm in that Apple 18 you. Where's your tech? Well, I'm working on an Android. Like what the. Text me when you've got blue. I'm not listening to you.

[A]

I forgot to charge my phone last night.

[B]

I'm there. Lord, if I've only got three, I can't get. Can you get me a Waymo? Because I'm down to 3%, idiot. Which back in green. You're an idiot. Hey, I'm your lord and savior. Your green dots, you're idiot. All right, you pick one, Brad. I don't care what you got. I like Fire in the sky style. I haven't heard that for a while, but. Nah, I don't want to hear that. We can do a little Kill Switch Holy Diver. How about that for Trevor? Yeah, for Trevor. Because Trevor Lawrence picked his nose for 14 seconds on national TV last night, and that wasn't AI. That was real. It was weird. Kill Switch did a great job with this song, even though it's a dopey song song. It's Holy Diver. It's Kill Switch Engage. It's your wake up song. It's 98. It's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fee. I have heard enough of this.
