Andy Purcella
Yeah.
DJ
Went from sleeping on the floor. Now my jury box froze up. Bow up stove Counted millions in a cold bad booted swole Got her own.
Andy Purcella
Bank roll can't fold.
DJ
That's a no head shot case. Close.
Andy Purcella
What is up, guys? It's Andy Purcella. And this is the show for the realists. Say goodbye to the lies, the fakeness and delusions of modern society and welcome to reality, guys. Today we have Andy and DJ Cruise the Internet. That's we're gonna do. That is what CTI stands for. Stands for Cruise the Internet. We're put topics on the screen. We're gonna speculate on what is true and what is not true. And then we're going to talk about how we the people are going to solve some of these problems going on in the world. I'm just going to get right into it, bro. Get right into it. We got one of the homies here, Devin Johnson, Sales AI, the arch enemy. This is a good buddy of mine, if you guys don't know. He owns an AI company. Sales AI number 438 on Inc's 5000 list. So you guys are killing it. You're a young man. How old are you? 28. 28 years old.
Devin Johnson
Yes.
Andy Purcella
Paving the way with AI, bro. It's pretty cool.
Devin Johnson
Yeah. Running a real company.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, exactly.
Devin Johnson
Not rug pools on meme coins. Yeah, you know.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, no shit. Not coaching courses on how to suck balls.
DJ
It's discounted right now too, if you.
Andy Purcella
Got, you know, everybody's stealing your course.
DJ
Yeah, that's what it is.
Andy Purcella
You. You innovated that field. You know, listen, ball sucking.
DJ
But pay me.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, but anyway, we got some things we're going to talk about today. About we, you know, we talk consistently about AI and the impact that it's going to have. And we're going to get to that for sure. But, you know, we're going to keep it real with CTI and before we get into that, man, like, just so people kind of know what you do and how you got here and everything, give them, you know, a 90 second rundown of who you are and what you do and.
Devin Johnson
Yeah, so. From Indianapolis, Indiana. Grew up in a suburb called New Palestine, Indiana. 30 minutes east of downtown. Grew up. My mom worked three jobs. Keep me in a good school. Dad was incarcerated for 12 years. Got out, found out quickly. He was a street pharmacist. That's how he broke it down to me.
Andy Purcella
So.
DJ
Street pharmacist, a new. That's a new. That's a new lingo right there.
Andy Purcella
So that's what white people call it.
DJ
I never knew my dad. I didn't know what to call him.
Andy Purcella
They called him Gone.
DJ
Yeah, he was just gone. He was a street illusionist. Like David Blaine almost.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
DJ
Street pharmacist.
Devin Johnson
Yeah. So mom and dad never married. Got to see two different sides of the aisle. You know, hardworking mom to barely put food on the table, and. And my dad, that had money come so fast, he didn't know what to do with it, ultimately was his demise, you know, overdosed and got caught up in the crazy. So growing up, I knew I wanted the. The money, the lifestyle, didn't know how. So I got into entrepreneurship. I started by flipping sneakers. So I resold Nikes, Jordans, Yeezys. I got my start on a scooter, and I would do Craigslist deals back in the day. So Craigslist was like Facebook Marketplace for back before.
Andy Purcella
Is Craigslist still around?
Devin Johnson
It is, but it's scary.
Andy Purcella
Is it just like close encounters, like, hey, I saw you at the grocery store.
Devin Johnson
It's scary what it is Now. I've went on there. Just curious what it is nowadays. But yeah, just hustled my way up to getting my first car. And then I was doing sneaker trade shows. And then after high school, graduated and got into digital marketing. Because sneakers, it was my first adversity. So everything used to release in stores that was exclusive, but then it went to apps only. So Nike would release their shoes on their app, et cetera, et cetera.
Andy Purcella
Every brand, like on Goat and stuff like that.
DJ
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
Go is actually a reseller platform. So those are authorized resellers or guys like me or you that have exclusive shoes that want to sell, but they verify them to make sure you're buying real shoes. But yeah, once that happened, it was very hard to get inventory. And everyone knows in business, no inventory, no sales. Right. So that was my first real adversity. I got into digital marketing, had three failed businesses, and then my first success was a company called Connected. IT was a LinkedIn recruiting automation platform for corporations ranging from small to enterprise. We grew that business to a couple hundred employees, had a sale event in October of 2023, and we took some of the framework that we originally were building into Connected and wrapped it into what we call sales AI. Now, we were in the early days of AI with the previous product, so it wasn't new to us, but we knew. Basic business philosophy for me is when there's a gold mine, manufacture shovels. So I like to build tech platforms that People can easily use the best of the best. And so we put everything we had into creating the easiest platform to actually make money with. Artificial intelligence. So sales AI is AI agents to take inbound phone calls, work leads, and set qualified appointments for your sales team, but also handle inbound customer support, ticket filings, orders, refunds, et cetera, et cetera.
Andy Purcella
Cool. So that's awesome, bro. And you know, you guys, Devin's been here before. We're friends. Yeah. You know your family guy, man of faith.
Devin Johnson
Yeah, man of faith. Married, two kids between work, kids in miscellaneous hobbies in church. That's all I do. Very boring guy. It's very routine, so.
Andy Purcella
Well, most successful people are.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. How.
DJ
How were you when you, when you started the sneaker game?
Devin Johnson
15.
DJ
15 years old, man.
Devin Johnson
Yeah, yeah, I was 15. So there was a life event that kick started it, but I was trying to respect the 90 seconds. So.
DJ
Yeah, you're good.
Devin Johnson
The life.
Andy Purcella
We got plenty of time.
Devin Johnson
Yeah. So the life event that happened to kickstart selling sneakers, it wasn't like I woke up, I was like, I'm motivated to go make money. So my sister was diagnosed with medjuster blastoma, brain cancer. And when that happened, my dad was an individual that ran from problems versus facing them. So there's another key lesson I learned young and left my mom high and dry for over a year. My mom had to move into the hospital to take care of my sister. So my sister was in Riley Children's Hospital for over a year. My mom lived at the Riley home, which is like apartments inside the hospital for kids that have to have long term care. And she would come home, make sure I didn't miss events or whatever. But I basically lived between grandparents and on my own for a year and a half. And I was like, I gotta figure out how to help my mom in this situation financially. So my dad would always buy me shoes. So any birthday suck up gift, I missed the game, which was every game. So I had a long story short, I had a lot of shoes that I knew had some value. So I sold my Jordans. They were all retros. Anyone listening probably knows like the bread. 11. I had a, like pair of those. All the cool grays, the concord. So like I had fresh shoes in school, like, you know. Yeah, I sold all those. I had about $2,000 to work with. And then my first resale pair was LeBron All Star Pack. I. I got my hands on that back in the day. This is one of the first shoes someone got killed over in public so fun fact.
Andy Purcella
Damn.
Devin Johnson
Yeah, so that, that's how it kick started it then. I got addicted to it, man. I got addicted to making money, hustling. It was really cool being 15 and your friends are like, oh, my mom wouldn't give me 20 bucks to go to the mall and I pull out, you know, $5,000. Like I was addicted to that. Yeah, I did build a very bad ego in high school and I quickly got that knocked down going into real business out post high school. But yeah, I got addicted to making money and being able to stand on my own.
Andy Purcella
That's awesome, dude.
DJ
Young Gun, man.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. I love it, dude. I love it. Now we're gonna talk more about AI, what it's going to do to the world, how we're gonna coexist with it as we get into the show. But you know, the show, you listen to the show, we're gonna go through current events, we're gonna talk some.
DJ
I'm on demon time today.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, I know you're upset. Yeah, DJ's mad.
DJ
I'm pissed.
Andy Purcella
He's, he's hungry.
DJ
Might be, might need to stickers.
Andy Purcella
How's training going, dj?
DJ
Good, Training's good.
Andy Purcella
You're looking better.
DJ
Thanks, man. Yeah, better. Sleeping better.
Andy Purcella
You, you, you've been tracking your progress? Yeah, well, yeah, just kind of going, just doing it.
DJ
Well, you like anybody, like, and this is, I've learned this from you, right? But like, I mean when you're like getting into it, right, like, you know, because I've done this multiple times, it's like that scale can be a motherfucker, you know, and like not much you will see move on it for the first fucking three weeks, four weeks, really. You know, I've just been, you know, head down grinding, bro.
Andy Purcella
Good, you know, it's working.
DJ
I appreciate it, man.
Andy Purcella
And yeah, Devin, you, you've recomped your physique as well, right? Yeah.
Devin Johnson
So I've done 75 hard twice.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
Shout out Andy. Um, and for the listeners, I'll tell you, 75 hard is truly a mental program. It fitness benefits. But honestly, that program built a lot of disciplines that carried into business for me. Just a side plug for, for the 75 hard program. But yes, I completed it twice. My heaviest was 312. I just did your inbody over in the gym. I'm 2.14.14 today.
Andy Purcella
Fuck, that's all 98 pounds, bro. Yeah. That's amazing. And you look great.
Devin Johnson
I appreciate it. And then my body fat percentage highest that I can Remember was like 38% and 17% today.
Andy Purcella
That's badass, dude.
DJ
That's sick, man.
Andy Purcella
You look even better than the last time I saw you.
Devin Johnson
Like, I appreciate it.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. And it's considerably better.
Devin Johnson
Yeah. So thank you.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, bro. All right, man. Well, let's. Let's get rested.
DJ
Get into it, man. I didn't want to bring this up, I mean, because I don't really know what to feel about it, what it is. You seen Gene Hackman?
Andy Purcella
Yeah, I did see that.
DJ
What the Was that? So Oscar winner Gene Hackman, wife Betsy Araqua. Arakawa and their dog were dead for some time. More. It shows. Yeah, they just, like, found him, like, dead in the house, man. And, you know, they originally, like, it came out that it was like, there was no, like, you know, wrongdoing or anything. You know, nefarious was suspected, but it's just weird circumstances. Like, now they're saying, like, the position and how they found them and, like, it's weird, but, like, you know, dude's been in damn near every movie.
Andy Purcella
Oh, yeah. Tremendous actor, tremendous career.
DJ
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
One of my favorite actors.
DJ
No shit.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
DJ
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
He's badass and everything. He does.
DJ
I always liked him in all of the movies, man. I thought he was. I thought he was pretty sweet.
Andy Purcella
He was a good villain.
DJ
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
He was like a scary villain. Composed and, like, just no bullshit. I always liked him as a villain.
DJ
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
Lex Luthor, bro.
DJ
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
And if, like, you'd always be the villain if you got in a movie. Yeah. You'd always be.
Andy Purcella
Well, I think I'd be a good one. Yeah. Like, put me in some shit, you know? Like, I. I think I'd be a.
DJ
Good, like, spandex or no spandex, though.
Andy Purcella
Like, what we do, it just depends, man. It depends on what the paycheck says. You know what I'm saying?
Devin Johnson
They add a zero span.
Andy Purcella
That's right.
DJ
Spandex. I'm down, man.
Andy Purcella
I could do some. Some evil villain movie work. I'm a pretty good actor.
DJ
I feel like you would be the villain, though, that people would, like, they'd still like them.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
DJ
Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, he's a villain. Like, it makes sense. You know what I'm saying?
Devin Johnson
You'd be like the Joker, right?
Andy Purcella
Yeah. People could get it.
Devin Johnson
People love the Joker.
Andy Purcella
You know what? How would be. You ever seen Falling Down?
DJ
No.
Andy Purcella
That's what I would be.
DJ
What's that?
Devin Johnson
I haven't seen it either.
Andy Purcella
Sorry. Yeah, well, you guys are Falling Down. It's Michael Douglas. You really haven't seen him 28, bro, I'm 29.
DJ
I ain't see he's. That sounds like.
Andy Purcella
I have a feeling that, that he's seen more movies than you.
DJ
You think so?
Andy Purcella
Have you seen Days of Thunder?
Devin Johnson
I have seen Days of Thunder.
DJ
Damn it.
Andy Purcella
That's all I gotta know. Yeah, so Anyway, yeah, man, rip.
DJ
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
Gene Hackman, tremendous career now.
DJ
He was like 93.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. I mean, like, it really doesn't matter, but like, well, he's old, man. Like, I'm sorry.
Devin Johnson
He was 95.
Andy Purcella
If. Yeah, if someone's 95. If I'm 95 and someone kills me, don't be that mad about it.
Devin Johnson
It's like I lived a full life.
DJ
Yeah, 95.
Andy Purcella
They probably did me a favor. Dude, what is weird about his wife and his dog? And they found a bunch of pain pills.
DJ
Pain pills.
Andy Purcella
So first I saw it and I was like, well, maybe she killed herself. He. He died. She killed herself. And they left the dog. And it said it was weeks before they found him. Yeah, but I mean, bro, now they're saying, now they're saying it's suspicious, right?
DJ
It is suspicious.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
DJ
Yeah. So, I mean, I don't know, man, it's weird. I saw some pictures that they probably couldn't find them again, but like some, I guess more recent pictures of him and he didn't look that good, you know, he's 95. 95.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
DJ
You know, so yeah, RIP.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. Great life, dude.
DJ
Yeah. Got to do some cool.
Andy Purcella
Yep.
DJ
Well, yeah, man. Let's get into some of these headlines, guys. Let's knock these out. Remember, if you want to see any of these pictures, articles, links, videos, go to andy4seller.com you guys can find them all linked there. With that being said, let's get into our first segment. Headline number one, Jake Tapper is entering the show today. CNN's Jake Tapper Co authors new book about COVID up of ex President Biden's decline despite previously waving off age of concerns. You see this?
Andy Purcella
No.
DJ
Yeah. So Jake Tapper, you know, CNN guy, he is now a co author of a new book that is detailing the lengths to which the Biden administration and its allies engaged in a cover up of Joe Biden's cognitive decline. Even though he was like one of the main proponents of covering up Biden's decline. It's like, it's like asking like OJ to help you find the killer. You know what I'm saying? It's like.
Andy Purcella
Well, OJ did write a book. He called. He wrote a book called if I Did it Yeah, like, he. You know what I'm saying?
DJ
Like, yeah, I was like, bro, what are you doing? What are you doing? And like, dude, they got them on. Like, I mean, I have a little video here. This is like a little collage of Jake Tapper's position. Let's check this out.
D
How do you think it makes little kids with stutters feel when they see you make a comment like that?
Andy Purcella
It's very clearly a cognitive decline. That's what I'm referring to. It makes me uncomfortable.
DJ
You have.
Devin Johnson
You are.
D
No, I can't. That's so amazing. It's so amazing to me that.
Devin Johnson
And figure out an answer.
D
A cognitive decline. Biden embraces his stutter, talking about it while Trump mocks it, exaggerates it, belittles it. He's sharp physically. I mean, mentally. Yeah, I think the question is physically.
Andy Purcella
Right, Right.
D
Or so.
Andy Purcella
Right, right.
D
And the guy who's his chief opponent is only three or four years younger than a man. I mean, you have questioned President Biden's age, mental fitness, ability to lead. Of those supporting Biden, you said, quote, shame on all of you, pretending everything is okay. You're leading us and him into a disaster. Do you worry that you damaged him at all? I don't doubt that you got hugs and handshakes behind closed doors today and maybe even publicly some of them because they like you personally. But I've heard a lot of really nasty stuff about you from your Democratic colleagues. I mean, just like, what is he thinking? Exercise in narcissism. I mean, false claims to the Wall Street Journal about President Biden's mental fitness and acuity. He's 81 and his memory, you know, it doesn't seem great. It's not horrible. But I don't understand the outrage. Quote, behind closed doors, Biden's shows signs of slipping, unquote. The Wall Street Journal is owned by News Corp. Which is run by the Murdochs. Beyond the headline, there is some critical nuance here. The article is mostly based on observations of Republicans, with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy the only one going on the record. They do note in the article that most of the criticism comes from Republicans. Have you heard any concerns from anyone who has met with President Biden about.
DJ
So he does that and then now he has a book out. Original sin, President Biden's decline, its cover up and his disastrous choice to run again.
Andy Purcella
Well, I mean, what better guy to write a book about it than the guy who actually covered it up? You know what I'm saying? Like, what do you think?
DJ
I Mean, it's fucking. It's stupid, but, I mean, not even just that, like, here's a conversation nobody's having. Like, all of the stuff like what. What else was covered up from the Bidens, you know, like, it just came out. Just. Just today, I believe, or yesterday, actually, that there's a Texas nonprofit with one of Biden transition team members who's on it and who runs it. Yeah, they reaped in millions of dollars, like, hundreds of millions of dollars. In 2020, they recorded $8.3 million in investments. And 2023, that number was up to $520 million.
Andy Purcella
Ye. Came from us. No, but you know where it was hidden? It was hidden in that. All that money they sent to. To Ukraine. Guaranteed, dude.
DJ
Dude. Well, like. And what's even crazier is that, like, it's.
Andy Purcella
Remember when I said that over and over and over, that they were trying to milk the money out before they. They knew they were getting out, so they're trying to take as much out the big dump.
DJ
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
Right before USAID comes out and says, yeah, we're funding half the world media and we're funding all these NGOs and all these charities. You know, we give Soros $260 million for his, you know, Open Society foundation.
DJ
And he turns and uses that for prosecutors and. Fucking, bro.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, it's crazy. We've been. We've been. We've had our own tax dollars weaponized against us. Fucking insane, bro.
DJ
Well, like, the other piece of it, too. Let me see. Where is it? At? The other piece of, like. So Since March of 2024, HHS has paid $18 million per month to this facility and pay Texas. And there's nobody there.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
DJ
Like, no, Nobody's even. Nobody's there.
Devin Johnson
Answers, please.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, they'll never get them. No. Yeah, everybody's guilty, bro. Yeah, it's. It's not just Democrats. It's. There's Republicans, too.
DJ
It's the conversation nobody's ready for, dude.
Andy Purcella
That's what I'm saying. And these guys, this is the system, dude. They come in, they all know the secret handshakes and the backdoor deals and how it works. And this is why we have so many people that go into government and never come out and why the government currently attracts the kind of people that it does. You know, we don't have a bunch of patriots up there, guys. Like, we don't have the best and brightest. We don't have the people who are building culture and society, serving in our government, for the most part. We might have a couple people, But I mean, what, 1 2% of them? Yeah, I mean, very, very. Yeah. So, I mean, like, you know, you know, crickery attracts crooks, you know what I'm saying? And crime attracts criminals, and these people are fucking snakes, and we all know it. But, you know, nothing's being done about it. And I don't, I'm losing faith that anything's going to be done about it.
Devin Johnson
Yeah, like, where would you start, though? You know, there's so much that's been done to this point. It's like, like everyone at some point is probably dipped their hand in the cookie jar. You know, it, it'd be like the whole government would have to for sure under siege.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. But I mean, that might be what it takes. Yeah, you know, I, I know that's, that sounds crazy, but, you know, this, this is what fuels revolution, dude. When you have a small amount of people that oppress a large amount of people, eventually the large amount of people figure out that they're a large amount of people and revolutions happen. And these people, I believe, are playing with fire. I, I, I believe that a revolution in this country is on the horizon if the current administration doesn't drastically clean things up, which, you know, I'm hopeful for. I said I would give 90 days to see what happens. There's things happening that are decent, but, you know, I want to see some arrests, dude. I want to see some people held accountable. I want to, I want to be able to trust that we're going to prosecute criminals. Not just, you know, the citizen criminals, but the government criminals, too. Yeah. And, you know, there's an unfair double standard going on in this country, and it's not between, you know, different races, it's between social classes. And, you know, I know you guys, you know, you might say, well, you're in that. No, I'm not in that class. I'm not a political, I'm not in the political ruling class. I'm an entrepreneur. You're an entrepreneur, Right. Trust me, if we were in the political ruling class would be a lot easier to be in business. You know what I mean? But these people can't create, so they steal our. Yeah, and that's what we're dealing with, man. And it's not Democrats only. I think it's heavily Democrat, but I think there's a lot of Republicans that understand what's going on that aren't willing to do anything about it because, dude, it's like, you know, it's like we say on the show, man. Attorneys all, all run together, dude. Like, when you get in a lawsuit, most people have never been in a lawsuit, so they don't know what it's actually like.
DJ
Like how it works.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, like, like people. I'm gonna sue that person for this and this and this. And it's like, dude, here's what's going to happen. You know these stories that you read about where someone gets $50 million, that's like the point, 00001% of lawsuits. In most lawsuits, what happens is you hire an attorney, that attorney files a case, the other person's attorney knows your attorney, they get on the phone and they say, and they do a strategy talk. They say, hey, dj, I got a guy, I got. I got Devin over here. He wants to sue your client.
DJ
He wants me not.
Andy Purcella
He's pretty pissed.
DJ
Y.
Andy Purcella
You know, I think he's got a pretty good case, but I think we should make him walk through all the process. And you guys should wait to settle because, dude, we'll both get paid. You know, those conversations happen.
Devin Johnson
Oh, yeah.
Andy Purcella
And people don't believe that. Why do you think these motherfuckers play golf together? Why do you think they go to dinner together? Why are they having cocktails? Exactly. And we ain't in it. And bro, the biggest group of unethical attorneys lives in Washington, D.C. so if you guys think that these people don't know what's actually been going on on both sides. They know neighbors. Now there's some people that have come in in the last few years that maybe have come in because they actually care. I know a couple I could speak to to a couple personally. But I mean, it's, it's the. It's. It's the exception of the rule.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
You know?
DJ
Yeah, man, this is wild. I just thought that was interesting, man. So Jake Tapper is doing.
Andy Purcella
That's the case. And these guys are all together. Like, how. How do you ever get rid of it? How do you get it out?
Devin Johnson
That was my point is, like, they're all. They publicly take one position behind closed doors. It's mutual.
Andy Purcella
It, bro, I've heard that from people who are up there or people who have been up there, like in office that aren't anymore, straight to my face, tell me. They're like, bro, it's all acting.
Devin Johnson
I mean, have you seen House of Cards?
Andy Purcella
No, I don't watch it.
DJ
It's actually. Yeah.
Andy Purcella
Is that how it is, bro?
Devin Johnson
Oh, go watch it.
Andy Purcella
Well, dude, he one of my buddies who was an elect. Pretty high Up. Elected official. He's no longer in elected government. I mean, he's like, dude, we'll. We'll sit in a room and we'll walk out and they'll say, you, you, you. And I'll say, well, them. And we planned on doing that. Yeah, it's like. It's like wrestling. You know what I'm saying?
Devin Johnson
Wwe.
DJ
Yeah, yeah.
Andy Purcella
But they both. The deal was made in the back door where they both get. They both get something. Yeah, and that's. That's not okay, man. That's what the country's about.
DJ
That's the problem. When everybody's in on the take, I can't call them out because then that's going to expose me right on the tape, bro.
Andy Purcella
And that's the other part of it. They get. They get everybody's hands dirty so that there's evidence against everybody. And the person who blows the whistle gets hit the hardest. And everybody else denies it.
DJ
Yeah. Yeah, man.
Andy Purcella
Guys.
DJ
Yeah. I mean, OG O.J.
Andy Purcella
Tapper, you know how they get them too, right?
DJ
Through the. Through the blackmail.
Andy Purcella
Oh, yeah. But you know how they get them though, right?
DJ
What do you mean?
Andy Purcella
They send hot girls to get them.
DJ
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Andy Purcella
That's how they get all these dudes. They send them like these super hot, like, females. Yeah, well, I mean, dude, they're. They're. They're spies.
DJ
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
And they send them and these fucking spies have sex with these dudes and then they got them and that's. That's how they get them.
DJ
Yeah, man. Yeah. Guys, jump on this conversation. Let us know what you guys think down in the comments. With that being said, let's go check some of the chat out. Got cruise comments. Yeah. This first one, my favorite part is cruise comments.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
DJ
All right, well, you're gonna love this first one. This first comment is from Angel.oc63s48. Sure.
Andy Purcella

I give it for free. I help open everybody's eyes to all this. I don't get anything. But for it, you know, all the influencers, they get invited to Trump's castle, and I don't even get an invite because once in a while I say some real.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
You know, that I don't like. And the thing that everybody likes the most of everything that we do is our French fry ranking.
DJ
Yeah, dumb.
Devin Johnson
Listen, the best French fries is very simple. It's rallies.
Andy Purcella
Rallies. Is rallies still around?
Devin Johnson
Yeah, I just hate it in Florida. Really?
DJ
Yeah, somebody commented that, too. They're like, you guys didn't put Checkers and Riley?
Andy Purcella
No, five. They were pissed about the five guys.
DJ
A lot of people were pissed about five guys, too. Yeah, no, I mean, rallies is good, you know, Very good. I just, you know, I like my safety more because, like, the only rallies here, bro, they're in the, like.
Devin Johnson
No, no, no. The one I went to. Very questionable.
DJ
Okay.
Devin Johnson
All right.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, but worth it.
DJ
Safety concern.
Devin Johnson
I pulled up in a Didn't belong there and was very. A lot of eyes, bro.
Andy Purcella
Did I ever tell you the time I got lost in North St. Louis in my wraith at the Walgreens? Yes. So, dude, I was with my tattoo artist. So my tattoo artist is a guy named Eric Marcenizen. He's the best in the world. He does black and gray, only he's. It's hard to get into him. So he comes to town and we're tattooing up at the Four Seasons. And that's how he likes to do it. He likes to get, like, a hotel room and, like, we fucking chill for, like, two days, Order room service, you know, smoke a little bit. Have fun. So he fucking ran out of latex gloves, so we had to go get latex gloves. And for those of you that don't know where the four season in St. Louis, it is right on the border of the area that you do not fucking. Okay. Like, you do not.
DJ
Great hotel. Beautiful hotel.
Andy Purcella
So. So I'm in the. I'm driving and I'm, you know, I don't know where the Walgreens is around there. And he fucking, you know, he's not from here and he's. And so I let him like, tell like, all right, we go. Here we go here. I'm like, where's the closest Walgreens? It'll take five minutes. That was a mistake. We should have went to the furthest Walgreens. So we end up like in this. Like, you know how in the north. Right there.
DJ
I know exactly where you were.
Andy Purcella
It's all section eight, right? Like, and it's like, it's like section eight like you see in the movies.
DJ
I'll tell you. The Walgreens is on the street named Dr. Martin Luther King, which for those.
Andy Purcella
That don't know, you don't go there.
DJ
Any street in America named Dr. Martin Luther King.
Andy Purcella
Don't go there yet.
Devin Johnson
Andy's is also rough.
Andy Purcella
So, bro, this is when the Wraith like first came out. And I had a two tone because that two tone race were the. When they first came out, I had the silver top and the black sides. It was pimping. So we're, we're cruising up through the. And I'm looking around and I'm like, this ain't good. And I'm thinking it in my head, I'm like, this ain't good. I didn't say anything to him. And he, he looks at me, he goes, you know where we are? I'm like, no. So we, we find this Walgreens and we pull up, bro, and like within 30 seconds, my car is surrounded by fucking 25 year old dudes that look like they're from the movie Friday.
DJ
Yep.
Andy Purcella
I haven't seen. There's no white people. No, everybody's black. They're wearing, you know, like white beaters and long ass shorts and shit and like jabos.
Devin Johnson
I'm like, some Pelly pal.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, I don't even know. I don't know what the fuck. But it wasn't, it didn't. It looked scary. All right, so.
DJ
So it was a. Yeah, a lot of domestic terrorists.
Andy Purcella
So I, you know, I always roll with my, with my piece in my cup. Holder, you know, so it was in there, and dude comes up, knocks on the window, and I'm like. I'm like, I'm legit. Probably gonna get shot and have to shoot some people. Like, he's in Walgreens. Eric's in Walgreens. I roll the window down, and he's like, hey, man. He's like, is this the new Wraith? And I'm like, yeah. He's like, can I check it out? And I'm like, yeah. He's like, I just take some pictures. And I'm like, all right, cool. And they took some pictures, they dabbed me up and they went on. It was like. And it was cool.
DJ
Yeah, Right?
Andy Purcella
Yeah. But I was. I mean, I was definitely scared.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
Shows you. Shows you.
DJ
Never judge a book by its cover.
Andy Purcella
It shows you, dude, they pound that racist in your head. Like, you should be scared everybody. But I was scared. I was. But they were cool and they were nice. They just want to see the car.
Devin Johnson
Two days ago, I was down in Miami, and I was in a 488. And there was these kids at a stoplight selling candy. And I rolled my window down. I gave them a. I was like, come here. I'll support the hustle. You know, young entrepreneurs.
Andy Purcella
I love that.
Devin Johnson
And I gave him a hundred dollar bill.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, dude.
Devin Johnson
They got so excited, they threw the candy and ran off.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
I was like, where's my candy, bro?
Andy Purcella
No candy, bro. They took off.
Devin Johnson
Like, it was like, I gave them $10 million.
Andy Purcella
Oh, yeah, bro. They were so. You remember that time we did that? When we did that, we had a. We had a girl driving or selling lemonade, and we fucking went and bought some lemonade. It was good lemonade, too. Yeah, we were driving a lot. Ferrari. Yeah. It was fucking awesome.
Devin Johnson
Yeah. Yeah.
DJ
Lemonade stands, bro. I had one in my neighborhood. Like, we first moved in. I tried to do the same thing, but it tastes like. It tasted like shit.
Andy Purcella
You. You had your own lemonade stand.
DJ
Like. Like some more kids was, you know, doing a lemonade stand.
Andy Purcella
I'm like, oh, you probably set one up. DJ set up his Kool Aid stand across the street. We'll see who owns this block.
DJ
Right? What we call a street scientist, street pharmacist.
Devin Johnson
Yeah, yeah.
DJ
It is what it is, man.
Andy Purcella
DJs over there with a kick, serving that lean that scissor.
DJ
Guys, we appreciate you, man, for being real ass fans. Keep liking commenting. Make sure you guys are subscribed and hit that bell notification.
Andy Purcella
You know what? I wasn't looking for at that wall.
DJ
What?
Andy Purcella
White supremacist.
DJ
It would have been a problem.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, no, bro. Gotta watch out for them white people.
DJ
Yeah, man. Guys, let's get headline number two. We got some more updates of some things going on in the Trump administration. Some cool things. You guys are both car guys. So this is. It's actually an interesting topic here. Now who's screwed? EU fury as Trump 25% tariffs hit European stock market and panicking officials warn the block will react as firmly as possible after Donald said block was set up to screw the United States. So a new tariff just went out to all European auto sales and there's mass effects going on. European auto sales shares fell today after Donald Trump and Velda plan to slap a 25% tariff on cars and other goods from the European Union last night. And brands like Stellantis, Ferrari, Audi, they're all getting, like, anxious and all of their stocks are starting to see some, some issues here. But this was the first piece that came out. This. Yeah, he called the European block. He said that it was basically built to screw the United States. I don't know how much that's going to affect the car market and how that works, but I mean, anything on that?
Andy Purcella
I got all the cars I want.
Devin Johnson
Hey, I'm still working on it.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. Okay. I don't need any more cars.
Devin Johnson
I'm still building.
Andy Purcella
So, I mean, look, here's the good news. All the best cars have already been made. All the they're making now is this hybrid.
Devin Johnson
They sound like vacuums.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, bro, it's terrible. Like all my cars are like from, you know, 2000 to like, I mean, I got a couple new ones, but like all the good ones are from like 2000 to 2018.
Devin Johnson
18 was the last good year.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
Unless you consider the SVJ was.
Andy Purcella
SVJ is an awesome car.
Devin Johnson
Yeah. But you know, 25, they'll probably just pass it along.
Andy Purcella
So I, I mean, if they really do that, I mean, I got about seven cars from Ferrari on order that are all going to get canceled because, I mean, I'm already paying a premium, you know, to, you know, like, it is what it is. I paying 25% more.
DJ
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
Ain't happening.
DJ
That's the shit.
Andy Purcella
They're gonna have to lower their price.
DJ
That's a shit ton. Yeah, that's a shit ton, man.
Andy Purcella
I don't know. It depends on how. It just depends on how much of the market we consume of those cars.
Devin Johnson
The market on cars is already really down.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
I mean, there's a few outliers but.
Andy Purcella
It'S getting hammered for sure smoked.
Devin Johnson
I mean, I wasn't losing money on cars for a minute and I've taken some Ls over the last two years.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, you got to make sure, bro. You're like, you're buying the low production number.
Devin Johnson
Yeah, dude, I switched my, I switched.
Andy Purcella
Let me help you with your, with your collection because I'll, I'll, I'll guide you the right way.
Devin Johnson
Yeah, I got out of the, you know, the hurricanes and. Yeah, you know what I got out of those.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
My most recent purchases have been more exclusive. Go up in value, dude.
Andy Purcella
Or at least hold. At least hold. Yeah, you know, like, dude, that's, you know, if you get the right car at the right price, it'll hold your money and you get to, you get to drive it.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
So, you know, I mean, it's just strategy, dude. You know, it's a supply demand, low production number equals sustained, you know, value for the most part.
DJ
Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, we'll, we'll see what happens.
Andy Purcella
I don't know what's gonna happen.
DJ
It'd be interesting, man. That, that's a, that's a lot of money. That's a lot of money.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. I mean, look, dude, do we really. I mean, I would venture to guess that the United States represents a very significant portion of the consumption of new automobiles from all the manufacturers that you listed. So we'll have to see what happens because there is a come a point of unaffordability for most people.
Devin Johnson
I mean, a family go buy a.
Andy Purcella
New SUV or an Audi, right?
Devin Johnson
$120,000, $110,000, $100,000. That's like table stakes. If you want to go get a new Tahoe, you're out the door after taxes, everything, you're about 100 grand, 95 grand. It's insane.
Andy Purcella
That is insane. I remember when new brand new Tahoes were for like 45, 50 grand.
Devin Johnson
Yeah. I mean, you know, my, like, like decked out. Yeah. It, it just goes up and up every single year.
Andy Purcella
I mean, the escalade V is 180 fucking grand.
Devin Johnson
Yeah. It's insanity.
DJ
That's crazy, man. That's crazy.
Devin Johnson
I mean, new world.
Andy Purcella
And you see them, you see them around like quite a few of them.
DJ
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
And it makes me wonder. It's like, okay, you know, a car.
Devin Johnson
That made me wonder where the fuck the money came from. The C8 Corvette, it's a hundred plus thousand dollar car.
Andy Purcella
There's a lot of them and there's.
Devin Johnson
Where I Live in Indiana.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
I see 30 a day.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, I see a lot of them too. My dad's got one. What's fucking sweet. Have you driven one? Yeah, they're fun to drive.
Devin Johnson
I've driven the base. 1LZ and 3LZ and then also Z06.
Andy Purcella
I haven't driven the Z06. The. My dad has the Z51 package. And I mean to me, to him it's great. He's 80, you know what I'm saying? To me, if it's, it's good, it's balanced. I like driving it, but it's, it feels slow.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
Well, but I mean, I also drive ridiculously fast all the time.
Devin Johnson
Yeah. And it, it just, you know what you can get for similar price.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
Like the decision between a middle aged Ferrari or a Corvette. Like give me the Ferrari all day. Yeah, right.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. Versus, especially if you can get a V12 Ferrari. Yeah, they're awesome.
DJ
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
DJ
Must be a lot of USAID workers where you live at, huh? That's what it is now. But other stuff been going on too. For the first time you now have, you know, illegal migrants that have been trying to come to this country, they're now paying smugglers for boat rides back home.
Andy Purcella
So yeah, they're, they're turning around. Yeah, I saw that.
DJ
So I mean that, that's okay. Yeah.
Andy Purcella
They were saying, Mexico was saying yesterday that the migrant flow is actually reversed, reversing and they have big caravans going the opposite way now.
DJ
Yeah, well, I mean if you cut off the tit of the NGOs that are funding those travel plans, so, you know, those migrants even get here.
Andy Purcella
Well, dude, that's a problem Too though because REM, remember those NGOs were giving them food and water and all this to walk all the way up here. They're not going to be able to do that on the way back. So we're going to have, you know, these people are going to get sick and die on the way back.
DJ
It'll be a real humanitarian crisis.
Andy Purcella
For real.
DJ
Yeah, yeah.
Andy Purcella
That they created by doing something illegal.
DJ
That should have never been done. Yeah, right, right. So I mean, that's going on. That's interesting. Other news, let's get into some of the DOGE stuff real quick because this is also interesting. So you remember those emails that DOGE made all the federal employees respond to, like with the five bullet points of things you've done? Elon got one. This is one of the emails that was replied back. So this was an act. This is an actual Government employee responding.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, can I read it?
DJ
Responding to the email.
Andy Purcella
Hi, I wanted to email what I did last week in detail. Please let me know if you need some more information. Number one, I suck the biggest dick. Seriously, it was 12.3 inches. I measured. Number two, I got fucked by said dick. Best sex of my life. And we'll be going back for more. Number three, ate a man's ass. But he said he wasn't gay, so it's fine. This is a man writing this about men.
DJ
Yep.
Andy Purcella
And I'm reading it.
DJ
Yeah. Yeah, you wanted to read it. I was going to read it for you.
Andy Purcella
Okay, well, I'm already in. It's already going on. Number. Number five. That's four. No, he's. He doesn't even have five.
DJ
Well, it's funny you say that because Elon also. Hold on, you read the fourth one.
Andy Purcella
The fourth one said, decide to myself with your bullshit and came. And then it's signed sincerely, go yourself. But there's only four things.
DJ
Well, that's what Elon said too. Eli said. We said five items. And that's.
Andy Purcella
You know what I mean?
DJ
You can't even be mad at it.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, I mean, look, dude, he asked for five things. If you had give five things, maybe you keep your job.
DJ
Maybe.
Andy Purcella
I mean, that sounds like a lot of work, you know, 12.3 inches. Big ass hog, bro.
DJ
You're all right.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. I'm just saying I like sounds like a job.
DJ
Yeah. I shake that guy's hand.
Devin Johnson
All right?
DJ
He's so strong.
Andy Purcella
I can't wait for. Never mind. I'm not gonna say it.
DJ
What can't you wait for?
Andy Purcella
Nothing. Because if I say it, people will do it and then it'll be all over the Internet. I'm not saying shit anyway. Learn how to count, dumbass.
DJ
Yeah, but I mean, yeah, he counted.
Andy Purcella
All the inches on that dick, didn't he?
DJ
I measured. Yeah, but I mean, it's still been a downfall. You got tears, tissues and chocolates outside USA Ideas. Feds are given 15 minutes to clear out their desk. So a ton of people been getting fired that's still been on the rise. I think they're projected to have these mass layoffs completed. I believe that the date is like March 14th. I want to show you one of the videos that has been circulating, going viral. Check this out.
Andy Purcella
I really felt that we were providing.
Devin Johnson
Support and care to humanity around the.
Andy Purcella
World because it's the right thing to do.
Devin Johnson
And that made me feel proud no matter who was president.
Andy Purcella
And now I don't Know what to do.
Devin Johnson
And I have cried every day. I think that that's normal.
Andy Purcella
I have a 15 month old at.
Devin Johnson
Home and I'm looking at him and thinking, well, what's this country that we're now living in? We're doing work for the American public. We're here for safety and we're patriots. We love our country.
Andy Purcella
That's why we're taking these jobs that.
Devin Johnson
Don'T pay us in the private sector.
Andy Purcella
I'm an accountant. I could get a private sector job.
Devin Johnson
Tomorrow, but I care about this country and I want to be here.
Andy Purcella
Hold on, Stop. Stop that. I'm an accountant. I could go to the private sector tomorrow, but I'm crying every day about how I don't have a job anymore.
DJ
Because I love my country.
Andy Purcella
You love your country so much you're willing to steal everybody's tax dollars and put them towards your own political agendas. I think it's okay.
DJ
She loves her country.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. You know, like that woman cry like, you know, it's hard to have empathy for people like this when, when, okay, yes, I understand you have bills to pay and you have family to take care of. But when you take half of people's money that they work for and put it into programs that support propaganda of your side and you somehow thinks that you're justified to get paid off of that money, that's not patriotic at all. And what about all the people, the millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of people that struggle to feed their families because they're over taxed, Right? They can't work any more hours, they can't make any more money and you take half of it anyway. Like, bro, that's, that's the crime here. That's, that's the oppression. And it doesn't matter if you guys think you're patriots or think you're doing good. You're not doing good. And that's the reality. You're not doing good at all. You're doing very evil shit.
DJ
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
And whether you knew it or not, I don't know. But we can't expect to subsidize your income because you pick the wrong team to be on. Dude.
DJ
Yeah, it's, it's.
Andy Purcella
I mean, think of all the people. Like, bro, you come from regular people. Yeah, I come from regular people. Like, think of all the people, you know, that struggle to pay their bills. And like, my mom worked three jobs, I'm saying, and dude, she wouldn't have had to work three if they hadn't taken half a fucking Money in tax.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
You know, maybe she would have had to work, too, but it certainly would have been easier than it was.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
You know, and with what things cost now versus what the pay scale is, it's.
Devin Johnson
It's insanity. I mean, bro, take. Take your kids to Disney World.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
Enough said.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
I bought pretzels, a hot dog, and chips, and a drink. It was like $80.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
Like, I. I just. I. I turned to my wife. I'm like, how do normal families afford.
Andy Purcella
They don't.
Devin Johnson
I know. It's racking up on a credit card. Right. But I was just like, this is insanity.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. And. And, dude, you know, a lot of people when I say these things, they're like, well, I. Do you care? Because, bro, I know what that's like. You know, like, I might not have to feel that now, but I know what that's like before it's wrong.
Devin Johnson
Still question everything. Why? Like, what's going on?
Andy Purcella
Yeah, well, what's going on is they're taking half our money. They're spending it on things to propagate us and to believe in things that aren't even true.
Devin Johnson
I seen they sent $20 million to put sesame street in Iraq.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. I was like, what's going on? But you know how many times Sesame street aired in Iraq?
Devin Johnson
By none.
Andy Purcella
Zero.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
And that's what these things are. These. That's why I like that picture you showed where there's nobody there. There's just empty golf carts and equipment. They have empty golf carts and empty classrooms so that they can show that, you know, these things have been purchased, and the rest of the money that never gets checked up on it goes in their pocket. You know, dude, it's. It's straight up fleecing and theft of the American people. And. And the. The punishment should be very harsh, and I'm afraid it's not going to be unless the people make the punishment.
DJ
Declare it, man.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
DJ
Have to demand it. But other stuff going on. Tulsi Gabbard, she enters the show today. Tulsi Gabbard says NSA employees tied to explicit chat rooms to be terminated, security clearances revoked. Did you hear about that shit, bro?
Andy Purcella
Not. Not in detail a little bit.
DJ
So. So, you know Tulsi Gabbard, she's the Director of National Intelligence. There were employees that worked for the nsa. There's this, like, you know, it's a chat room for, like, interagency communication. All right? And, you know, there's threads inside of these chat rooms, and one of these threads was literally just filled with lgbtq, you know, identifying employees of these intelligence agencies, talking about their sexual activities, their sexual preferences. 12 inch cocks. And. Oh, I just got a big one. Disgusting stuff. And this chat room, supposed to be used to communicate our nation's intelligence and secrets across to each other effectively.
Devin Johnson
Wild.
DJ
It's insane, but yeah. And so she.
Andy Purcella
So let me ask you a question.
DJ
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
You guys tell me what you think. Have you ever seen the Snowden documentaries? Okay. Like, and in the Snowden documentaries, the reason people hate Snowden and they call him a traitor is because he exposed how the United States was using the Patriot act to monitor its own citizens.
DJ
Right.
Andy Purcella
Okay. So the reason the government and the media says that Snowden is a traitor, they try to paint it like he was giving secrets to these guys. No, he wasn't. He was giving the people the intel that our government used the Patriot act to legitimately log into our computers and watch us and listen to us and record us. Okay. When you guys see someone get committed of a crime and there's all these audio recordings, doesn't that ever raise a red flag that you're like, where do these audio recordings come from?
DJ
Right.
Andy Purcella
Well, they come from the NSA getting into your. And recording what you say. And all you guys that have Alexa or these electronic devices in your home, you're not understanding or you're even your phone. Like, if you ever want to have a confidential conversation, you have to put your phone five rooms away because they record that every conversation, every text, every email, everything you've ever said or done on a digital device is recorded and kept. All of it. Okay. And he exposed that. Most people still don't know that. That's the truth.
DJ
Yeah, it's still going on today.
Andy Purcella
Yes. So this is how they blackmail people. This is what they get people to be quiet. You know, they go and they show them their dick pics or whatever they've been doing, and they're like, dude, you. You better shut the up or this is what's gonna happen.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
And that's. This is what they do. So. So knowing all that, that. That. That is. That is what Snowden was exposing. Do you think that these employees at the NSA who were having private chats about gay sex or sex or whatever, big dicks, big titties, whatever. Whatever they were talking about. I don't know. Do you. Do you think that those people would abuse their power to spy on regular Americans when they're, you know, on their computers and phones and their pictures and all that?
Devin Johnson
100.
Andy Purcella
A hundred percent, no doubt. There's. We have no privacy. You guys think that we're private or have privacy, you're insane. There's no privacy. They. They got every single thing you ever said ever did. And that's what they. That's how they control power. That's how they control other powerful people. And then things like the Epstein thing, right? So we're talking about that.
DJ
Oh, for sure.
Andy Purcella
But, dude, I mean, yeah, those people should be terminated.
DJ
Well, and the craziest thing happened, right? Because like, you have. So you have this thing going on with the nsa. This comes out, it's being handled. I trust Gabby to handle it. And those. Again, those people are being terminated. Their security clearances are being revoked. Cool. But then we got to switch. Switch over to the CIA and FBI. Let's watch this. This clip from. From Jesse Waters.
Devin Johnson
But intel doesn't like being told what to do. When they saw Musk with the chainsaw.
Andy Purcella
Doging foreign aid, they started leaking to cnn.
Devin Johnson
If you doge us, there will be consequences. On the CIA's seventh floor, home to top leadership, some officers are also quietly discussing how mass firings and the buyouts already offered to staff risk creating a group of disgruntled former employees who might be motivated to take what they know.
Andy Purcella
To a foreign intelligence service. The CIA is telling CNN that if.
Devin Johnson
Their funding gets cut, they're going to sell state secrets to Russia. Who the hell hired these Benedict Arnolds? The CIA is supposed to be filled with patriots, not sellouts. And the FBI is up to no good, too.
Andy Purcella
Michael Shellenberger is reporting.
Devin Johnson
A source inside the FBI says the bureau is destroying evidence.
Andy Purcella
Now we know what their accomplishments were last week. Dear Elon, I wiped the servers cleaner than crooked.
DJ
So the same employees, well, that's a threat. Same type of people.
Andy Purcella
Hold on. That's a threat. That's them threatening. You guys understand, right? Yeah, it's a threat. Like that's saying, man, you know, if this continues to happen, it would be terrible if the secrets got out to a foreign intelligence. You know what that's called, right?
Devin Johnson
Blackmail.
Andy Purcella
It's treason.
Devin Johnson
Well, treason.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. So go ahead, go ahead. You just get hung. You know what I'm saying?
DJ
No, go ahead, do it. Yeah, do it now. I mean, again, like we see these things, these are great. Win.
Andy Purcella
What secrets do they have anyway, right? Secrets. You have. You got all the. All the naked pictures of all the citizens so you can blackmail them.
DJ
Got my 12 inch cockpicks.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, like, dude, that, you know, please don't release it. Well, I mean, they don't publish fiction.
DJ
Oh, yeah, right. Well, I mean, they did with Trump.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, that's true.
DJ
Might be interested in it.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
I just want to know if aliens are real. Okay. Can they publish that? I'm simple. Okay.
DJ
I think they're definitely real. But we got bigger things, though. Like, I mean, like, these are all great things. I want what I want to know, and this is why I'm on Demon demon time today. What I would like to know is where the fuck is the Epstein list?
Devin Johnson
We'll never see it.
DJ
Where is it at? Epstein client list Release could be imminent after Blackburn pushes transparency. Let them get jailed. You got Elena Haba. She came on to another interview. She says that absolutely expects criminal charges after Epstein files dropped today after meeting with Cash Patel and Pam Bondi. But, you know, the time Right now is 4:20 Central Standard Time. Thursday. It was promised to be 420. It is 420. Yeah. No Epstein list. Nothing. Now, what we do know, I mean, we know some things. This is not new news, right? Like, there was a mass release. This is, you know, one thing that's going around social media right now is that, you know, vault, FBI.gov, that was from 2017. That should been public since 2017. Nothing on that website has been updated since, you know, here's an article from 2020, right? Like, we know some of the things, right? We know some of the names that have been mentioned in court documents. We have some of the flight logs, right? Like, but again, this is not new stuff. This is stuff we've known. And even that, like, there's still names on there that are redacted that were left out of the court filings, right? This. This is all stuff from.
Andy Purcella
Go back. So they got Bill Clinton on there, okay? Not. Not redacted. But then they got a redacted name, right? So is that redacted name one of the victims?
DJ
Potentially, yeah, potentially.
Andy Purcella
I mean, like, if they got Bill Clinton on there, why the fuck would they redact someone else? Yeah, that's as big as it gets. So that could be one of the victims potentially, man. And that is what they said. They did say the reason it's taking so long is because they have to go through hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pages to make sure that the victims aren't public, you know, which you didn't have time to do that for last five years.
DJ
Well, I mean, the other thing they're saying too now is like, apparently the FBI, like, there is some treasonous going on and they're deleting some stuff they're holding back. Like, I saw this letter circulating that Pam Bondi sent to Cash Patel demanding that everything get to her office by tomorrow morning. But it's just like. I mean, again, like, how do you. How are you putting these things on and then you're still getting railroaded and derailed off the. You know, I'm saying you. It was day one. Was many days ago. Many days ago. And like, at this point in the game, bro, they're risking some heavy stuff. Right. Public trust is.
Andy Purcella
I mean, what they're risking is the entire movement of people that voted for this administration turning against them getting completely deflated. That's what they're risking. Okay? And I know that these people are high on the hog because they just won the election and they're all getting in, but I believe that they are highly underestimating and misjudging where people are with the transparency that we expect.
DJ
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
And I will not support this administration if they do continue to keep secrets from the American public after all the things that we've been lied to and had forced down our throats and the injustices and the crimes against humanity that have happened over the last four or five years. Now, with that being said, I am willing to give them 90 days, as I've said the whole time. Because a lot of my friends, when Trump got elected, they're like, dude, it's better than Biden, but this motherfucker still going to be the same thing. And they have no faith. I'm not that person. I understand. And you understand that when you're building a business or running an organization, things do take time to process. And this is. This is a big company. It's the biggest quote unquote company in the world. There's lots of layers to it. There's lots of. To dig through. And, you know, it takes time. It does. But look, man, if they, if they don't. If they, like today, they gave the. These influencers. You got this.
DJ
No, no, talk about it.
Andy Purcella
You know, they gave all these influencers this binder.
DJ
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
With apparently phase one of the. Look, we don't need phases, bro. And you know what else we don't need? We don't need a bunch of influencers that just kiss ass and go along with everything Trump says to get the information first. Okay. Of truth. Nobody should be agreeing with anything with everything anyone says.
Devin Johnson
Right.
Andy Purcella
That's not healthy. It creates a situation where corruption happens and powers are abused and what's happening and what's materializing is that situation, which was the Exact situation on the left when we watched Jake Tapper deny that Biden was cognitively impaired, we. That's the same thing that's happening over here now, where people are willing to just support because they're so drawn into the MAGA movement. And by the way, look, dude, I don't. I want to say this. I'm not turning against Donald Trump. I'm just stating that they need to understand very clearly that people expect very much different outcomes than what we've been experiencing.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
Not just the last four years, but the last 30 years. And to give these people. And by the way, not a single one of these motherfuckers that got this binder has gone as hard as we have gone.
DJ
I've done anything.
Andy Purcella
We were saying the shit way before it was okay to say when there was actual risk to saying it. And then later people come out and say, and those are the motherfuckers. Okay? And I like some of these people. I don't dislike them. But let's be fucking real. You need to be giving the information to people who are going to be honest about the information that are given to them, because that's what's going to restore the trust in society. Okay? And yes, nobody trusts mainstream media, but you also gave the information to people that never criticize the administration as well, which isn't any better than giving it. Than the left giving it to KGP or cnn. So, like, if we want trust restored, we have to give it to people who are openly. I don't know, I don't want to say critical, but at least like critical thinkers who, who will call things the way they see it. And, and by them giving it to only people that support makes me think that they're trying to hide.
DJ
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
You know, I. I don't. I don't know. Like, it doesn't make me feel good. I think that's. And by the way, I know a lot of influencers who have done a lot of the heavy lifting before any of those people did it. Before any of them did it. You know, when there was risk to saying it.
DJ
Yeah. Risk of losing gyms.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
DJ
Jobs, companies. I mean, a lot of the arrows have already been fucking taken.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
DJ
These people sweep in behind them and, you know, it's really, really fucking annoying.
Andy Purcella
What do you think, dude? You don't think it's going to come out?
Devin Johnson
No, I don't. I think there'd be too much repercussions. I think there's too many key people that was involved.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
That's why I think it's personally taking so long.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, I, I, I don't disagree with you, dude.
Devin Johnson
And you know, the administration does promise transparency. I mean, it was one of their, their core mantras of getting back into the office. But this particular topic, I think is gonna, the can is gonna go and go and go.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, it all, it almost makes me think, like, what are they distracting us from, dude?
DJ
Well, you know, it made me think.
Andy Purcella
Of something because that's all people are talking about right now. So what else is going on?
DJ
What's happening? Right, right. And, like, it made me think and like, you know, I've been watching this, this develop. We haven't really talked about it on the show. I don't believe we've covered it at all, but I've been, like, keeping my eye on it. And we gotta go to Germany, right? Because I don't know if you guys understand what just happened in Germany, but it's, it's kind of fucked, right? So you have German, you have the AfD party, right? Which is equivalent to the rights, you know, America's right conservative side. You have this dude, make all these fucking promises on the campaign trail, bro. Right? All these fucking promises. Truth, transparency, bring German culture, closed borders, closed deportations, deportation, handle the migrant issues, right? All of these things. He gets elected and then goes on the stage in his very first meeting and say he's not doing any of that shit.
Devin Johnson
You got to remember what we talked about earlier. They have these conversations behind closed doors on both sides of the aisle, right? And so it, it's, it's a game of controlling media and controlling a narrative, you know?
Andy Purcella
Yeah. I think the more people see it, it's very, it's very frustrating to watch.
Devin Johnson
I do think our biggest hope in this equation is Elon, by the way. I think he is down the, like, down the middle. He just wants what's right, you see?
Andy Purcella
I don't see it that way. Yeah, yeah, I see it. I see Elon with a lot to gain. Personally, I like Elon, I like Trump. But I, it makes me, like, when we talk about, you know, what he has to gain, it's a lot and it is. Yeah. And so, you know, directly or indirectly. Yeah.
DJ
Gaining a lot from it.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. I, I, I don't know. I mean, he's all about neuralink, he's all about transhumanism, he's all about AI and robotics, and, you know, we'll talk about that on the next topic. But, like, those are things that really concern me about him.
Devin Johnson
Yeah, that's my world, though.
Andy Purcella
I know.
Devin Johnson
You gotta understand, I do have a little bit of favoritism.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
But you also got to remember he walked away from Chat GPT because it was getting. Do you know about that? He was one of the original founders of Chat gbt and they were going too far with it and he sued the other primary shareholders. They did resolve it, but he was like, guys, this is going too far, too fast.
Andy Purcella
So you believe he has a moral standard about it?
Devin Johnson
Yes.
Andy Purcella
Okay.
Devin Johnson
Yeah, yeah. And you know, there's some things that I do know that I can't just say or openly talk about. He has a very strong moral standard.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, yeah.
Devin Johnson
But that's, that's one that's public, that people can reference is when he had a lot to gain. Right. ChatGPT was one of the fastest growing companies ever. Right. And it was the fastest growing platform ever to. To hit a million active daily users, so on and so forth. And he was like, no, this ain't right. Fuck you guys. And well, they resolved it.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, I mean, look, I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying I'm not sure yet.
DJ
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
You know what I'm saying?
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
DJ
There's still some pudding that gotta be put.
Devin Johnson
No, look, I lean into the Trump administration and I'm Republican, have no problem representing that there does have to be equal transparency, you know, like, well, the.
Andy Purcella
Trust has been eroded so hard, bro. We have to have.
Devin Johnson
You have to restore it.
Andy Purcella
It's extra transparency.
Devin Johnson
Yeah, yeah. You have to restore it by going over and beyond. So they've got their work cut out.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, I agree, dude.
Devin Johnson
They got their work cut out. But I do believe Trump and Elon in the core team, at the end of the day, they do really want that and they're going to work. They do have powers fighting against them.
Andy Purcella
Right.
Devin Johnson
Everyone thinks that when the President's in the office, they have all to say.
Andy Purcella
In reality, we learned that the first Trump administration.
Devin Johnson
Yeah. And in reality, there's a lot of roadblocks. Yeah, there's a lot of roadblocks. And guys, for people listening, I'm not an expert on anything government. I just want to, you know, say.
Andy Purcella
That, well, it would be no different if you took over a company, if you took over a company that had a bad culture. Okay. And they know that you stand for these things and that's just not the way we do things here. Okay. You're going to have your work cut out for you cleaning that out, it's hard. You have to identify all the Little culture cancers. You have to cut them out, you know? And that is what they're doing.
DJ
It's a process.
Andy Purcella
But, like, dude, I don't like the way they're going about this. I really don't. It makes me trust them less. That's all I'm saying.
DJ
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
People deserve to know the truth. If. If we were being. If all of the people that are influential in our media, in Hollywood are being leveraged to promote certain propaganda or do certain things or put certain messages out to us, we deserve to know those things. And we already know that USAID's been doing this. Soros has been doing this. He's. He's getting in big trouble right now because he bought all those radio stations so that he could. Propaganda, you know? Yeah, yeah.
DJ
Like, my thing is, like, okay, if they are. And if they are being leveraged. Cool. By who?
Andy Purcella
Well, yeah, we deserve to know that. Well, that's why we have.
Devin Johnson
If you look into. If you remember, Mark Zuckerberg released a letter stating that he was throttling traffic during the last election. So he admitted he came clean on everything and posted it himself.
Andy Purcella
Do you think he came clean on everything, or do you think he came clean what he thought he had to.
Devin Johnson
I'm not friends with Mark. I don't know. But that is, like, those are the things that I remember and just gives me hope.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
That there are. You know, Mark is arguably one of the most influential people in the world, for sure, and he stepped out on a limb exposing himself. So that gives me hope that.
Andy Purcella
Well, see, the way I look at.
Devin Johnson
That, we can go in the right direction.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, look, man. But I look at that differently. I look at that like. Like, okay, when. When they were in office, the Biden administration, which are communists, he did. He did what he could to play ball with them. And the real test would be what would happen if those progressive people got back in power. Would he. Would he. Would he stand up to them now? Or would he just go back the.
Devin Johnson
Way he was, based on his new swagger? I think he would stand up.
DJ
Here's how I look at it, too. Like. Like, I think, you know, because you mentioned a word there. Hope.
Andy Purcella
What.
DJ
What is. What is hope meant to do?
Devin Johnson
Hope is meant to influence change, in my opinion.
DJ
Well, see, I look at hope, I.
Andy Purcella
Think hope is meant to stall people from action, to pacify. Yeah, right.
DJ
And so it's like, you know, what better way you got? The American people?
Andy Purcella
Now, there's two different kinds of hope. You're right. Their hope can inspire Action, for sure. Yeah. But it can also inspire complacency when people look around and, and our, our citizenship is conditioned to wait for someone else.
DJ
Yeah, that's how, and that's my thing. It's like, it's like, all right, so you got all these American, like millions of us pissed. What better way to, to calm them down? Put out a letter. Yeah, no problem. Yeah, cool, whatever.
Devin Johnson
No, no, I get it. And, and I love both. Like, I love all these opinions, you know, but I, I look at everything from an optimistic lens.
Andy Purcella
Sure.
Devin Johnson
Most entrepreneurs do.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
But there's a lot of mental training that went into that. You know, if I did not do all that self work and discipline, I would see hope differently myself, like, if I, if I couldn't compartmentalize, if that makes sense.
Andy Purcella
For sure, dude. I mean, look, I, it depends on your perspective.
Devin Johnson
That's right.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. And where you are. But I could tell you this. I, I know for sure that the American people are in a place of when, when they feel hope as a whole right now. Culture, it's, it's, it's to paralyze. Something's going to happen. Something's going to happen. Trust the plan. It's all going to work out.
DJ
Eat your popcorn.
Andy Purcella
Right. Those, that's where people are right now.
DJ
So that's a dangerous place.
Andy Purcella
It is, man, because we, we forfeit our actions as citizens onto other people's.
DJ
Backs that may not exist.
Andy Purcella
We don't know. I mean, look, dude, I, I like Trump.
DJ
I do, too.
Andy Purcella
I fucking like his family. I like what he says. I think he's fucking hilarious. I think he's badass. I mean, bro, he's 80 years old. He works harder than anybody I know.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
You know, but I don't like the way this is being handled. It's just, I don't like it. It makes me doubt, it makes me have concerns, and that doesn't make me comfortable. And I don't like the way that they only recognize influencers that only. Yeah, I agree with everything they say.
Devin Johnson
I agree with that. It's got to be both sides for change to happen.
Andy Purcella
For sure.
Devin Johnson
Right.
DJ
Well, that's what real truth and honesty looks like, man. You know, but like, I mean, now to your, you know, you guys also brought up this about distractions and, you know, because, like, that's always been my stance. Right. Like, okay, like the big games here. Cool. But what's happening over here, Right? Like, you know, got the big smoke screen. What's happening behind that? And, you know, it is interesting Andy, because you've also mentioned many a times, bro, like, you know, they have, you know, the deep state. I don't, I don't like here's the fallacy that I think too many people get into like that Trump's in office and everything's going to be just fine. Like you said, he has plenty of people that are fighting against him. We know we have deep state, and I'm of the belief that I think the deep state still has a lot of control on a lot of things. And you know, we talked about red button pushes. I don't know, but this is something interesting. LAX is on red alert right now because some foreign traveler just brought in a deadly disease somehow and it infected an unknown number of American citizens.
Devin Johnson
Well, I believe it was on your show there you believe that Covid 2.0 is going to hit.
Andy Purcella
Oh, yeah.
DJ
Well, it's funny you say that because that also comes out that the Wuhan bat lab linked to COVID Pandemic is carrying out an ominous new virus experience and they just created a Covid 2.0.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, well, look, I was talking to Sean Ryan about this yesterday on the phone. These people who are in control are very dangerous when they are at the risk of being exposed for how much influence and how much control they have. And right now that's happening. And there could be a number of things happening here. It could be there's people implicated, so they're trying to slow roll the list out. It could be that Trump administration has intel that if this happens, then this will happen. Meaning? Because, because like, let's be real, bro, everybody knows what the Epstein was, okay? Like, Epstein was a Mossad operation for collecting intelligence, which means it comes from is Israel, which means it fuels the fire of it being what people like to say now, the Jews, okay? But the reality is it is the government of Israel, a lot of which are not even Semitic Jews. Okay? So it's a corrupt government who is responsible for an operation and it does not go to the rest of the world of Jews, period. All right? But the problem with it is, is they could know that. Meaning Trump could know that if this were to come out, it could fuel that fire. Because, dude, people are already talking about it. It's out in the open. Dude, you look all over TikTok, you look all over Instagram, you look all over Twitter. Everybody's talking about the Jews, okay? What happens if this comes out and it confirms that Israel was behind an operation that was raping children for intel? What does that do? Right to the to the cultural place of the world. It creates a mass hysteria against a certain group of people. When in reality, in my opinion, it shouldn't be focused on a certain race of people or religion of people. It should be focused on the actual people who are responsible for it.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
Okay. The individuals with names and addresses. Okay. Who also manipulate those people. So when we talk about. It could be this too. It could be they are aware of a plan to release Covid 2.0 if this information comes out and implicates Mossad in some sort of child sex trafficking. So they're. Dude, this is chess. And as much as it pisses me off that the shit's not just coming out, there's probably some strategic reasons that have to do with the safety of human beings.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
That is being manipulated for a reason. And I think that's what we all need to really stop and take a breath about, because how hot do you think that these people, if they knew that the whole world was going to come down on them? Do we not think that they have plans to handle that? I mean, bro, they have. What? They have a. Israel has a. They have that fucking. The Hannibal Directive where they'll fucking. They launch a nuclear weapon to destroy, like, if they. If they are threatened, they can nuke the whole world. So, like, there's. There's all kinds of shit that could be happening here that we don't know. Because the reality of the situation is, is that a lot of our own government is. Is manipulated by Mossad and blackmail by Mossad. And everybody knows that already. So I hesitate to lump any race of people into a category. I don't think that because a black person does things, does something that. That makes all black people bad. I don't think that because a Christian does something bad that makes all Christians bad. I don't believe that when some Jewish people at the top of a government do something bad that that equates to all Jewish people. I know it doesn't. And I think we as human beings need to have more reasonable conversations. And it's hard to do with all the big voices out there screaming that it's an actual race as opposed to, you know, individual people that are evil. And so, you know, that's how I feel about it. Like. But the truth of the matter is the real reason it's not coming out is because it's going to implicate our biggest ally in one of the most disgusting intel collecting operations. And it's probably going to implicate our own. Our own intelligence services as well, so, you know, let's be real. That's why it's not coming out, because the shit is so disgusting that the average person is going to be like, what the fuck is going on?
Devin Johnson
It would create. My belief is it simply will create more mistrust and counter react the efforts that they're doing to try to put trust into the American people.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, I mean, dude, look, we deserve to know either way. That's my opinion. And, and the people who are responsible for things like that deserve death. That's my opinion too. You know, and you know, there's a reason that the propaganda for the last seven, eight years has been very heavy towards. Well, you know, it's been phased, Right. It's been heavy towards LGBTQIA plus, but then it was hijacked by trans people. And then they started normalizing pedophilia by calling them maps, you know, minor attractive persons. And if we look at the propaganda that's been put out and who's been putting it out? Okay. Which is, you know, people like Soros putting out this progressive propaganda, and we look at all the messaging. Who's been putting it out? It stands to reason in my mind that they're trying to normalize something that they're all complicit in before it actually comes out. Meaning they can get the population, meaning we're going to get, we're going to get the population to agree that people who are attracted to minors can't help it. And you know, like they're doing in Europe now where they're getting little kids, they're arguing for little kids to have consent to have sexual relations with an adult. That is fact. Okay. That's happening in many countries in Europe. Child consent laws. They, A child can consent who they want to have sex with, no matter if that person is 40 years old. Okay. Or whatever. It doesn't matter. Why would they do that? Well, the reason I think they would do that is because it's, it's insane.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
And the reason that I think they would do that is because they're so into that and they know it's coming out that they don't want to be burned at the stake when it comes out. But they're, they're, their efforts to normalize that have failed. So where does that leave us now? And I think that's a very delicate situation to unravel when you have a government, maybe two governments, and then an organization like the World Economic Forum that's made up of the most powerful people in the world, all guilty of This, I mean, it's, it's, you know, like it's dangerous.
DJ
Release it, bro.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, I, I, look, that's where I'm at too, because I've been in talking about this for so long.
DJ
Release it.
Andy Purcella
But I do, I, that's the only. Those are the reasons that I can think of why it's being done the way it's done. I don't agree with the way it's done.
Devin Johnson
Right.
Andy Purcella
But that's my breakdown of what could be why.
DJ
Yeah, guys jumping on this conversation. Let us know down in the comments what you guys think. With that being said, let's get to our final headline. We got headline number three, AI. Yeah, so let's have some conversations about it. I got some interesting stuff here. So this first headline is Goku, a Chinese Open source model challenges OpenAI in the US have you seen this? Are you familiar with Goku?
Devin Johnson
Not super familiar with Goku. Aware of it, but know more about Deep Seek.
DJ
Okay, so, so, so China just came out with this new. It's from ByteDance. And they launched what's called Goku, which is an advanced AI model for image and video generation.
Devin Johnson
Right.
DJ
Okay, now I'm going to show you guys some clips here, all right? I'm going to show you two clips, and I want you to tell me which one is AI and which one's not. Okay, here's clip one. If you listen to audio, you got to come over to YouTube. And that's clip two. Which one's AI?
Devin Johnson
Second one.
Andy Purcella
I thought the second one, too.
DJ
Okay, well, jokes on both of you because it's both.
Andy Purcella
Well, the second one look more AI.
DJ
Yeah, these are both AI generated videos. All of these.
Andy Purcella
I mean, that one looks way more AI.
DJ
This is AI.
Andy Purcella
Bush.
DJ
This is AI. This is AI.
Andy Purcella
This is also AI it's gonna put influencers out of business, bro. For sure, bro. Yeah, influence. Listen, influencers don't want to work. A lot of them don't want to work. They don't want to do the right. They don't want to do things right. They want to fucking. A lot of them want to just get paid for existing. And that's going to. These people, this is going to kill their business.
Devin Johnson
Yeah, yeah. I'm partners with a Instagram page called the AI Surfer. And if you watch all that content, it's all AI video, every piece of it. And we get thousands and thousands of new followers every day. Hundreds and hundreds of DMs every single day. And every single video is generated by AI.
Andy Purcella
So how long does it take them to generate a video like that.
Devin Johnson
Five to 15 minutes depending on the depth. We want to go with it.
DJ
And this is as simple as like, okay, like here's a bottle of water. You take a picture of this prompt the AI. Hey, I need to add around it depends.
Devin Johnson
So here's the truth about AI. Yes, it's advancing fast, is the fastest technology that's ever been created. But it also still requires a really intelligent human to use it. That, that's, that's the brutal truth. Right. You know, sales, AI, chat, GPT, all these platforms that you can reference, if you put in, you get out. It still is driven by the human. So I like to say AI is great, but the human takes it across the finish line.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, for now, yeah.
Devin Johnson
But even Gen AI, that's starting to come out, right? Videos, that's different. Right. But we're talking day to day society. It's still going to require a workforce that knows how to intelligently work it. Right. It's going to have an impact on labor work. It's going to have an impact on call centers and desk jobs and content and all of those that people already talk about. But it's also going to create the opportunity to upskill and upscale lower wage employees to earn more, to be more intelligent. Right. It's just like the way I talk about it is I didn't live in these days, only any of us did. But like farming, when the tractor came out, oh, you don't need a gas powered machine. We just plow our fields. Well, the guys that never bought the tractor are out of business, right?
Andy Purcella
Yeah, I mean, I don't think there's any doubt about that.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
It's just what are the implications of that technology on business culture and humanity as a whole? And I think that's where, you know, people are fit. You know, let me. So I'm a little older than you guys. All right. I remember when the Internet came about. All right. I remember very clearly. At first it was very simple. It was, you could get online and kind of talk to your buddies, you could look up naked chicks like, you know what I'm saying? Like it was cool. Yeah. It was just, it was just very simple. You could send letters to your friends, you could get on AOL messenger and you know, go back and forth. It was cool. Then E Comm started to show up on, you know, on the Internet. Amazon was one of the first companies that really came around for 10, 15 years. All these companies that came on the Internet, they had, they did not have to collect sales tax. All right? So because they didn't have to collect sales tax, they had a 10, an 8 to 12% margin advantage over brick and mortar mom and pop retail locations, whether that be a grocery store, bookstore, fucking supplement store, anything. Yeah, anything sold. They had a 10% price advantage, which means they could sell for 10% less than all of the companies out here that employed the majority of humanity. All right? And that created a situation where people would go on Amazon and they would buy things for less. So the argument used to be, I go on Amazon because it's cheaper, it's cheaper than everybody. And it was because they had an unfair tax advantage. It took many, many years, over a decade for that to be put on to these companies. But by that time, the behavior had been modeled and cultivated for people to shop there. And when that started to happen, now they lean into convenience. So now the consumer has been trained to buy for convenience over price. How many people will pay extra to get the today or tomorrow than they, you know, than a week from now? Almost everybody. Okay, so that all spawned off of an unfair advantage that ended up creating obsolete businesses that employed human beings. And I watched it happen. I've seen it happen. You know, I've watched it happen. And so now this is the biggest thing that's come along since then. And it's. I think it's much bigger. And now we have a situation where we have technology that can do the job not just of one human, but many humans inside an organization. So, yeah, that makes sense. Like, I could run my company much cheaper based upon implementing AI, but that means that people in my community aren't going to have jobs and aren't going to have income. So.
DJ
And if everybody's doing it.
Andy Purcella
Hold on, if everybody's doing it, we just have a separation of classes. We have people getting more and higher paid positions, and then we have people less. So my concern with AI, I mean, is where are we going to be? Because like, dude, like you said, it's so fast. Where are we going to be in five years? Well, I mean, dude, Tesla's already got humanoid robots. What happens when they're autonomous on AI and can like you just say, hey, robot, go build me a house. And three, three robots that have the superhuman strength that you bought for 20 grand a piece go out and build you a house and now you have a construction company of, you know, because like, that's the biggest thing. Like all the labor guys, the guys who do houses and construction or trade skills, land a pipe. Yeah, they'll always, they'll. Yeah, they'll always. That's going to change too. So. But dude, they'll always say, well they can't do my job. Or an artist, like a woodcrafter will be like, can't do my. You don't think that that robot can make better looking than you like. And they could do it without rest, without complaining, without pay after the sunk cost.
DJ
There's no union.
Andy Purcella
So dude, what I'm saying here. And, and like look, we can argue the ethics of it night and day, but here's the reality. It's here and it's happening.
Devin Johnson
Yes.
Andy Purcella
So how, how do you see that playing out? Because I agree with you, dude. Like look, if we're competing against other. Like just take my company first form here. If we're competing against other companies like let's say Nike and Nike does AI and their margins go to the moon and your margins are little because of like you're gonna get put out of business and those people aren't going to have jobs anyway.
DJ
Right.
Andy Purcella
So like it's, it's, it's hard as an entrepreneur that cares about their people to really understand how to properly leverage and utilize it, you know, without putting yourself out of business. You know what I mean? It's just a hard, it's, it's. I don't.
DJ
It's risk and reward. Right. Like it's.
Andy Purcella
Well, bro, I, I just, I mean, what do you think, dude? Yeah. Because you're a morally great. You're a great dude.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
Like you care about people.
Devin Johnson
I do. I'm honestly most proud of raising a family, building a team and employing people within my community.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
But I'm also a proponent of. I do save companies a lot of money. I do hit cogs hard on a P. L. Yeah. And max, you know, maximizing that. Right. So I really try to ride the middle line and not take a defensive stance of I want to replace humans and, or you know, keep humans. I ride the line of adapt or die.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. Well that's, that's reality.
Devin Johnson
And so I just try to stick to reality with it. I get these hard questions all the time. Especially you got to remember my business can work 24 7, 365 days in your business. So let's say you have a hundred people on this floor doing customer support. I can replace that with one software.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
And handle 48,000 calls a minute.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
And never miss a beat. Know every single product, take the customer complaints, do the refund, fill in the tickets all.
Andy Purcella
No. You showed it to Me. Last time you were here, we called it.
DJ
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
And so, you know, yes, I'm feeding the beast of it could make that negative impact. But I try to take the stance that lean into it now because here's the reality of you're in early adoption phase. You're not in your buying cycle and you're not nowhere near the peak. So this would be like getting on the Internet in 2001. Or it'd be like if first form was only an E comm business in 2001.
Andy Purcella
Right.
Devin Johnson
You'd have a huge advantage nowadays. Right. If you went all in on the that. Right. So that's what I try to encourage people, is lean into it, become masters in these subtopics. Because AI is going to hit every industry. So if you're in construction, how can you embrace it now and become a force to be reckoned with? By embracing it and leading change throughout the industries.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, right.
DJ
What do you think the relationship will be between humans and AI? Because I have this other article that came up too, this just came out that AI chatbots posing as therapists could have dangerous and violent consequences. So now they're training AI chatbots to like be actual therapists to real humans now. Right. Like, I mean, so like, what do you see? Do you see the relationship as like a beneficial one? Right. Because, like, I mean, we, we've talked. I mean, like, there's plenty of therapists out there that, that do great work.
Devin Johnson
Right.
DJ
Are helpful, cool. But there's also a lot that also take advantage of problems that could be easily solved by this.
Andy Purcella
It's called life, motherfucker. It's hard.
DJ
Right? Right. So it's like, I mean, how do you look at the relationship of humans and AI outside of even just the business space? Right. Like, how do you look at it?
Devin Johnson
Yeah, I look at it that it's going to take time for the average consumer to gain trust and even become aware of realities. There's certain Fortune 500 companies that I already work with that you're already interacting with on an everyday basis and you have no idea. But we encourage those companies to be upfront about this usage. And most of them do in some way, shape or form, simply the phone rings, it answers and says, hey, this is an AI assistant with X company. Right. But, you know, it's like a loaded firearm. You can save the day or you can cause havoc. And so people that have good intentions and that are in the field of AI will make the world a better place and people that have ill intentions will make the world A worse place. Kind of leave it again. I take that middle, that middle lane with it. And I think humans, they thrive off of convenience. Right? Well, AI is going to make things a lot more convenient. I was just in Miami earlier this week and there's AI bots delivering food, right? You can get your food in 10 minutes versus 30. What are you doing? You're going to use that robot, right? So humans are going to adjust.
Andy Purcella
Well, I mean, dude, that's, I mean, look, dude, there's not a person with a brain in business that doesn't understand that Amazon's a bad thing for business. It's bad. It's not good. It's bad. It's bad for your. It's bad for your local, your, your local community. Amazon's not out there sponsoring T ball teams and like that. Okay? It's capitalism, which I can respect, but I also respect the boundaries of capitalism. Meaning I think there's ethical capitalism and I think there's unethical capitalism. And I think, you know, when we start talking about convenience and you know, like, okay, what? Like when you start tying this all together about where this is going, it sort of makes sense as to why they want to depopulate the planet. Because they don't need a workforce anymore.
DJ
Yeah. They don't need ubereats.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. I mean, you're going deep here, Andy. I know. Yeah, but like promoting. Well, no, but what do you do, what do you do with all the people who aren't going to have a job? I mean, do they go on Universal Basic Income? Like what? Because that's the opposite.
Devin Johnson
Oh, there's early outlines of that. A form has been created to help offset the impact of artificial intelligence into day to day jobs. That is a real thing that is in place.
Andy Purcella
Okay, so you're saying they're trying to make some guidelines about it.
Devin Johnson
Yeah, they're also trying to make, I do some advisory work on, on, you know, the governmental use of AI and whatnot. And they are working day in and day out right now on how to set the guardrails.
Andy Purcella
Well, that's hard to do, bro, because what if China doesn't set any?
Devin Johnson
Correct. It's. It's like gdpr. Then the United States doesn't have anything. Right. It's like Canada has Castle again. We don't have anything. Right. It's going to create unity worldwide to create that standard. But right now, where the reality of it is, it's state by state. And fun fact, do you want to guess what state has the most advanced AI policies? Any guesses? It's Indiana. Indiana is the most advanced AI government in the United States.
DJ
And what do you mean by like, as far as like regulation wise proposed.
Devin Johnson
Regulate again, all of it's in proposal. Yeah, right. Because it's. The way they're going about it right now is from the big governments. They're trying to take it through TCPA, which that was created 20 something years ago when it was trying to stop spam robots and whatnot. It's not even. They're trying to lump it into cell phone calls when it's totally different. So they're messing up there. That's why it keeps getting up and down, up. And they keep saying, hey, now here's this regulation than taking it down. They just took it down again on trying to put TCPA regulations on AI generated use for business. Sorry, it's gone already. But now what I mean by that from State of Indiana has been implementing AI for like six, seven years now. They're in their government building. There's three floors that's AI of how to use data faster, make better decisions. I mean their, their intentions and how they're going about it is awesome. It's. How do we make the convenience of the everyday worker better? So they're going about it great. But yeah, they're, they're the most advanced in the United States.
Andy Purcella
So what do you think? Because I have an opinion on this. But what do you think? Like, let's just talk about the influencer thing for a minute. Right? Because influencers have created a situation where people who otherwise don't have. It's made content creation a career. All right? Correct. And a lot of people make a lot of money doing it. Clearly. And Gary Vee talks about this too. He's like, dude, influencer, you're done. Like you're done.
DJ
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
And I can tell you why they're done. They're done because managing influencers and egos that go with influencers is nearly impossible.
Devin Johnson
That's insane.
Andy Purcella
It's it, it's. They don't want to post the right way. They want to do things their way that are ineffective and then you have to pay them and it's just become this huge clusterfuck. So now there are good influencers that do really good things and they try hard. How do you feel people like that or even just people who want to have a career? Because look, man, part of being fulfilled and part of being happy as a human is, you know, happiness is, is not skipping through the field of daisies doing nothing. Like we are built as human beings to contribute, to create, to become. And that's what creates a lot of fulfillment for a lot of people. And, and you know, I spoke about this long before Trump did, but Trump got on stage and said, oh, you know why depression's such a big deal? Because people are lazy and they don't have enough to do. They don't work hard enough. It's really hard to be depressed when you're working really hard. It's really hard to be depressed when you're creating and contributing and focused on becoming. And he's correct there. So if we make a world that's more convenient, what's that going to do to the mental health status of humanity as a whole? That's a concern of mine. But speaking on. And by the way, this is no way me denying that this is gonna happen. Like it's happening. It's already the, the, the shit's out of the box already.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
So if you're a person, right, and you're like in a company and you know that your job is vulnerable to being replaced by AI, what do you think? How, how can people defend themselves around those things?
Devin Johnson
Well, right now, and again, going back to buying cycles is you're still in the very infancies of it. And so people that latch on and realize AI is not going anywhere have a huge advantage within large corporations because most large corporations have antiquated leadership styles and very slow to adopt. There's companies still moving to the cloud and still implementing CRMs. I mean, it's been 20 something years of that technology. Right?
DJ
Places in our government that still use.
Andy Purcella
Typewriters, bro, the government still fucking stores paper files in mines.
DJ
Yeah, yeah.
Devin Johnson
It's insanity. So if you're in that, okay, this is happening, I'm going to lean into it. You actually have a path to make huge impact within that corporation and create such a layer of protection for yourself because you'll be a source of truth. You know, a lot of leadership in a lot of big companies are older and they can barely even get on their iPhone and open up Facebook, let alone understand the capabilities of implementing AI into 10,000 person organization.
Andy Purcella
For sure.
Devin Johnson
Right?
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
So the young generation that's in the.
Andy Purcella
Workforce now needs to learn the technology.
Devin Johnson
Needs to learn the technology and figure out how to improve because they will replace you. Don't run a company when you're 100. So that leadership's going to cycle and those young leaders are going to step up to the plate with proactive agendas to be able to keep the organization going personally, I think it's one of the greatest opportunity zones the world has ever seen.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, for some people for sure. No doubt.
Devin Johnson
But you go to lazy, you get your lazy people, it just shows up.
Andy Purcella
They're gonna get crushed either way.
Devin Johnson
They're gonna get crushed either way. That's the reality. So.
Andy Purcella
Well, they're getting crushed now because the same thing, it's just, it's different. What do you call? But yeah, yeah, so. So on the influencer standpoint, how I see, I think influencers that, that are very authentic and have the ability to create an actual connection with people will be fine. You will be the anomaly and make. It will make you more valuable. But bro, that just isn't the culture and influencers anymore. No, it was in 2016, it was in 2018. But now it's everybody's Tom Cruise, bro. And everybody's a celebrity. And you know, I, I'm not posting it like that. Well, that's the way to convert. Well, that's not, that's not in my brand dynamic. Well, then off. Yeah, you know, like and, and dude, those people are all going to get replaced with these people because you can't tell the fucking difference. No, bro, there's AI pages right now of only fans, chicks that have. That are making millions of dollars, bro. And it's a cart. It's a, it's a fake. It's not even a real person.
Devin Johnson
Yeah, wild again. We have a page that has almost 400,000 followers. We started with zero, just like everyone else, right?
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
And we did that in a year.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
And all those videos is AI. Yeah, it's insane.
Andy Purcella
It's crazy here.
DJ
Yeah, that's wild, man. This stuff was.
Andy Purcella
Dude, you know what I like? Dude, you know what really scares me, man? Is when these things, like, isn't it possible for AI to become like its own prompting source? Meaning like. Like right now you're saying it can.
Devin Johnson
It already happen.
Andy Purcella
Okay. So it doesn't really matter the intelligence of the human because eventually they're going to be prompting themselves.
Devin Johnson
So AI is the first computer program that one plus one doesn't equal two. It could be one plus one equals a black hole. Right. So if anyone.
Andy Purcella
What do you mean by that?
Devin Johnson
People don't understand how prompting this gets this. And no one has exactly figured it out. You also got to understand, AI has been in big business since the 90s. Just no one could afford it. Unless you were Microsoft or Google. You couldn't afford to have a data center that burns $3 million a month in hydrogen and everything to run these things, right? But now the open source models, like Chat GPT, they were the front runner, have brought it to the average person, right? It's. It's like the cell phone evolution, right? A cell phone used to be $50,000 and weigh 200 pounds, right?
Andy Purcella
It came in a bag. Yeah.
Devin Johnson
I've seen pictures. I didn't see those days, but I did.
DJ
Yeah, the ones in the car.
Devin Johnson
But now every. If you don't have a cell phone, like, what. What are you doing? Right? You know, so we're going through that, that. That evolution and. But yeah, people think AI was like this new thing, and it's been around.
Andy Purcella
Well, it is new for people.
Devin Johnson
Yeah. It's been around a long time, though.
Andy Purcella
What do you think of, like, Terminator? So I'll be serious, bro. Like, here's what scares me. Here's what scares me. You've seen Terminator? What's that movie with Will Smith? I Am Robot. Okay, look, dude, we've seen a. Like, all right, man, that robot's pretty cool. What happens when it starts thinking for itself? And what happens when you say something?
DJ
I was doing that.
Andy Purcella
What happens when the AI wants to fuck your chick, right? And then all of a sudden it beats your ass and takes it and.
DJ
It lasts longer than two minutes, you know what I'm saying? Like, that's dangerous, bro.
Devin Johnson
You want to watch a really awesome TV series? Watch Cassandra or Cassandra on Netflix. It's literally that.
Andy Purcella
Oh, really?
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
Is it scary like that?
DJ
Oh, is that the mom sick from cancer and like the. The. She hires, like, the AI. Who's in that? What's her name? What's her name?
Devin Johnson
No, this is a different one. Yeah.
Andy Purcella
What's it about?
Devin Johnson
So this family buys this. It was like one of the first smart homes. It was like built in the 70s or whatever.
Andy Purcella
Like Jarvis or something.
Devin Johnson
Yeah, there's like computer monitors that can. It's like Alexa on a TV screen. It's like this lady and her name's Cassandra.
Andy Purcella
That's the. That's the computer.
Devin Johnson
Yes, the computer. And the whole basement is the computer program. Like, just imagine a data center in the basement running this thing, right? And the family's like, oh, it's probably so old, it probably doesn't work. Kid goes to the basement, turns it on, and this thing just pops up. Well, then they find the actual robot as well. So it starts off robots, like, cutting the grass and cooking all these amazing benefits. Benefits, right? But then it becomes obsessed with its past and wants to become the mother of the kids and be not necessarily in a relationship with the husband, but wants to run the household and does all these series of events to get the mom to be deemed crazy and she gets put into a mental ward.
Andy Purcella
That's what I'm talking about, dude.
Devin Johnson
Yeah, so, yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Andy Purcella
Like, dude, like, like, what happened?
Devin Johnson
That's the robot.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. What happens when, like, when. When. When, you know, the police are like. Are all fucking AI robots?
Devin Johnson
Well, you know, I could speak more.
DJ
That's scary. For me, aside, I bought the racist ones.
Devin Johnson
I bought a G. G1 robot.
Andy Purcella
The Tesla one?
Devin Johnson
No, it.
DJ
Look up G1 robot.
Devin Johnson
G1 robot? Yeah. It gets here in two months.
DJ
Bro, you bought this thing?
Devin Johnson
I did, yeah.
Andy Purcella
How much was it?
Devin Johnson
I bought like, everything. Max out, like 65, 000.
Andy Purcella
Oh, really?
Devin Johnson
But we bought it for trade shows.
Andy Purcella
Yeah. What's it do?
Devin Johnson
Whatever you want it to. Yeah. So. Yep, that's it. G1 humanoid. Yeah.
DJ
You bought this thing?
Devin Johnson
I did, yeah.
DJ
You're gonna have it in your house?
Devin Johnson
No, no, no. We bought it for trade shows. So we. We have a big release coming out with HubSpot. And so we got a G1 humanoid for our trade show booth for HubSpot inbound event this year.
Andy Purcella
And this bro, Devin, the motherfucker's doing a karate kick.
Devin Johnson
Oh, so when you buy.
Andy Purcella
Kick your ass, man.
Devin Johnson
So when you buy it, they actually show you a video of it doing everything you see here.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, bro, look at that. Look at that one right there. It's kicking that dude's ass.
Devin Johnson
Yeah, you know, so you. You prompt it. You prompt it.
Andy Purcella
Look, they're fighting. It's already happening, man.
DJ
All right, now, where's the picture of him, his wife? Like, where is that at?
Devin Johnson
No, that. No functional. No people, to my knowledge. But yeah, so you know, I could speak to how life's gonna look here in a few months if you want to bring me back home. Yeah, bring it. I'll bring it and you can with.
Andy Purcella
It, bro, what if you. What if you get home and that thing kicks your ass?
Devin Johnson
So you want to. You want to know a real.
Andy Purcella
Like, you're not afraid of that?
Devin Johnson
No, I'm not. It has a kill switch, so.
DJ
Yeah, you gotta get to it first, dog.
Devin Johnson
It's on your phone. It's on your phone. But anyways, so you want to hear, like a real issue we're dealing with in the company. So we got this thing, right? We can't find insurance to cover it for the show.
Andy Purcella
There's probably not. It doesn't exist yet.
Devin Johnson
See, See, like it's gonna. This stuff's gonna create new industries is what I'm leading to.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, right.
Devin Johnson
You're gonna have to have insurance on these fuckers just in case it goes rogue.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
You know.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
Also, you know, the, these humanoids, their batteries are only good for two hours.
Andy Purcella
So they only keep.
DJ
If it goes rogue, you know, I'm gonna tire. Yeah.
Andy Purcella
I'm tired out. Max. Rogue. Oh, we're so.
Devin Johnson
Is two hours.
Andy Purcella
We're all it.
Devin Johnson
So the hands, it, it can sense like it's picking this up.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
Versus like shaking your hand.
Andy Purcella
Huh?
Devin Johnson
So it's not going to be like.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, it wants to.
DJ
So it can like, it can like detect like physical, like a human skin, bro.
Andy Purcella
You guys covered this in iRobot, dude. They said, hey, you can't do this to people. And then that sunny, he starts doing it.
Devin Johnson
Yes. So we are doing it to.
DJ
I got to see this thing.
Devin Johnson
Program it. We're going to program it. You program it.
Andy Purcella
I'm surprised that thing is only 65 grand.
Devin Johnson
Yeah, I mean, it's out of China. Yeah, no, so we're going to program it to give demos of sales AI. So that's what we're doing with it. And I, I am not at trade shows. I am going to see how to get it to do that.
Andy Purcella
Now they got fat ones there. That blue one there.
Devin Johnson
So I, I wasn't, I wasn't on. That's DJ.
Andy Purcella
That's DJs bro.
Devin Johnson
Special edition.
DJ
I ain't got waiting no more. Fast food lines.
Andy Purcella
Oh, man.
Devin Johnson
Yes.
DJ
I'm okay, bro. Listen, I think it's a pass for me. I mean, that's cool. You know, I'm, I think I'm cool on it, man.
Andy Purcella
I'm, I'm, I'm very concerned.
DJ
I mean, like, Andy, I'm gonna ship.
Devin Johnson
One to your house.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, I'm very. Listen, man, I've seen this. I've seen the movies.
DJ
I've seen too many movies.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, bro. And I've also run too many companies to understand like, like what it's going to do potentially. But like, you know, I mean, dude, businesses adapt or die and that's it. I mean, and it, like, you know, consumers could control the adoption of these things, but they won't. Yeah, they won't do it.
Devin Johnson
There's too much convenience.
Andy Purcella
They won't do it. Right. Like, dude, like, you know how many say they hate Nike and still wear Nike?
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
You know what I'm saying? Like, you know how many people say they know that Amazon's not good for their local economy, but they still use it.
Devin Johnson
They have a package every day.
Andy Purcella
That's what I'm saying. Like, dude, people don't, they don't do that. They'll boycott a company for doing something stupid, but like, they won't look at it. They don't. I don't know. People don't look at it like that. They don't look at it as a preservation of their own utility.
Devin Johnson
No.
DJ
Yeah. Well, guys, jump in on this conversation. Let us know down in the comments what you guys think.
Andy Purcella
I mean, the argument for this is like, like the argument that I've heard for this is, you know, people are going to have so much more time to live their life. Right.
DJ
Hard to live your life when you're broke.
Andy Purcella
Well, I, Yeah, I mean, like, it's true. Yeah, there's. It's not as simple as that, is what I'm saying. No, and like, dude, what are we gonna. Like people. Okay, like, look, let's just take 75 hard, for example. Like when you grab someone who's never heard of 75 hard and you're like, hey, look, dude, you're going to do all this extra, but it's going to make you feel powerful, it's going to make you feel fulfilled, it's going to give you confidence, it's going to give you belief in yourself. That comes from the work, that comes from the creation, that comes from the contribution to others and self. And if we take that away from society, there's going to be people that don't. They don't like it. I don't know. I think, dude, I, I don't know. I honestly like it. It is very. I'm very good with vision. I think that's my biggest trait. It's just hard for me to see where this is going to go. You know what I mean?
DJ
Yeah, man.
Andy Purcella
Long term. Yeah, like, I, I really like. It makes me nervous. Like, dude, like, because, like how the military is already using this. I guarantee it.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
They're already making these humanoid robots and.
Devin Johnson
Oh, well, I mean, that's been. They've had dogs.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
For years now in service.
Andy Purcella
Yeah.
Devin Johnson
You know, so, you know, my, the vision that I carry with it is it will make some negative impact but ultimately will create a whole new realm of business opportunity and capitalism. Because think about industries that still suck. Law sucks. Banking sucks. All these industries that haven't created convenience are now for the taking because of artificial intelligence, which creates all these Sub markets and niches to serve.
Andy Purcella
I could certainly see where it could clean up a lot of corruption because it could be black and white. But I could also see, I mean, we've seen this in biases in chat, GPT and in these other props AI services. Like, so it's, you know, some of them been programmed with pre, with biases, you know, so. I don't know, dude. Like, I really don't. That's why I wanted you to come on and talk about it, because I don't think anybody knows. I mean, I, I think, I think you think, you know, but like real talk, we don't know.
Devin Johnson
No, no, I, I told you earlier in the show, I don't claim to be an AI expert.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, well, you are, you are an AI expert, but we still, we just don't know how it's gonna evolve. Yeah, I have a good idea.
Devin Johnson
There's, there's too many, too many paths. But like the, the reality of making strong business decision decisions with AI is you don't just go all in with one. So how we approach that sales. AI is a platform that services the customer. But I am not married to a single large language model which, that's how these things get created, right? We use the best of the best for the situation. So if you have a use case for sales, there's a specific large language model that is best for that. If you're using it for customer support, there's a best use case for that, right?
Andy Purcella
What's a large language model for people that don't know?
Devin Johnson
It is a composed stack of computers and data centers that process data and anything and everything on the Internet faster than a human can blink. And so that's what creates. That's why when you talk to AI, it's not one plus one equals two. If you ask ChatGPT a question or create all these scenarios because it knows everything, it's linked to everything that's ever been put on the Internet. And that's why.
Andy Purcella
Well, that's another thing. Like some of the information that it comes out with is not true. Like for example, none of the information on me about my company's income, my income, my address, my age, none of that shit's correct.
Devin Johnson
Right.
Andy Purcella
None of it's correct intentionally. And I don't report. None of my companies have reporting to the public. Yeah, none of them. This is all. So it's all guesstimates, but when you type in, it comes up with numbers and shit, it just makes them up. So like, there's that too.
Devin Johnson
Yeah.
Andy Purcella
Right. Like how do we know what the information, what's the accuracy? Correct.
Devin Johnson
And like speaking to our company.
Andy Purcella
We.
Devin Johnson
Isolate your use case and your business for you. We don't take your data and then make XYZ customer better because we're using your data, we actually isolate that. Right. When you're using our product, it is just you and you do have. I want AI to assist here, but these are the facts and you do not deviate and it will not deviate from the facts. Right. And so there are controls.
Andy Purcella
So it depends on who's programming it.
Devin Johnson
Yeah. Again, if you have good intentions to make the world a better place, you can make the world a better place. And if you have ill intentions, you can do to some major disruption.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, well, listen, dude, Listen guys. I know Devin, he's a great dude and that's why I wanted to bring him on and talk about these things because obviously I have been very anti. Because dude, I love people.
Devin Johnson
I do too.
Andy Purcella
You know what I'm saying? I love, but I mean like I've employed people for 26 years, bro. My most proud that I am of anything is when these guys build a career and go out and get a house and a car and build a fam. Like I, dude, I'm cool, I'm good. You know what I'm saying? That's where I get my satisfaction. And it breaks my heart to think that that could change and you know, it's something that I'm very concerned with, so. Well, it's. But dude, what I, what I, what I, what I want to get to though is I appreciate that you come on and are open and honest about it and help us bring some clarity to the ins and outs. And I would definitely love to keep the conversation going having you come on as this develops over time.
DJ
Yeah, for sure, man.
Devin Johnson
Yeah. The reality is perception controls a lot of things. And so if you perceive that it is going to do harm, ultimately you will approach everything with a tough mindset.
Andy Purcella
Right.
Devin Johnson
It's going to be really hard to break through that. So if you perceive that there can be mutual benefits in building companies and so on and so forth, you will find a massively beneficial way to leverage AI.
Andy Purcella
Yeah, I, I, I don't disagree with that. I just, I like to evaluate everything. Right, yeah.
DJ
Well, guys jumping on this conversation. Let us know down in the comments what you guys think. We got one final segment for you guys. As always, we have thumbs up, dumb as fuck. That's why we bring a headline in, we talk about it to get One of those two options. So with that being said, our thumbs up or. Dumb as fuck?
