Episode 28 - Video Store Miracles का पूरा ट्रांसक्रिप्ट

a person did this, like a person who goes through human struggles and human insecurities created this. 00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:14.560 For some reason, you know, that's what kills uh AI art for me. 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.840 It's like nobody went through the pain of like creating that. 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:18.960 Um it's weird. 00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:24.960 Like so for me, like yeah, I I will listen to music created by AI, I look at art created by AI. 00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:34.800 I'm seeing some people doing amazing things with AI in terms of like um animating uh like sequences, like uh for just just to put an example. 00:03:35.039 --> 00:04:02.560 I love Indian mythology, um, and I'm seeing a lot of people using AI to recreate scenes from Indian mythology, which is great because Indian mythology it hasn't gotten a lot of like good um kind of content creation because like it's either cheesy Bollywood stuff or like you know, just like things that people have like drawn, but someone's actually uh going out and creating stuff with AI, and it's really great. 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:10.879 Um, but at the end of the day, it it lacks the same kind of appreciation that a human has because like it's not done by a human. 00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.000 Uh at least that's my view on on the matter. 00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:25.680 So yeah, for me that'll it that's for that reason AI will never be the same, even though it can, yes, it can do amazing things, but um it just doesn't come full circle because yeah, it's not a human. 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:35.439 Yeah, I always just think like if you discover an AI artist and you decide you want to go see them live, how are you gonna do that? 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:50.560 I mean, I guess if it it's if it's some person who created all that stuff with AI, they could then learn whatever song the AI spat out for them and perform it as a human live. 00:04:50.800 --> 00:05:01.199 But A, you still know that those recordings were made with AI and it wasn't even them, it wasn't even the people you're watching who played it on the record or in the recording. 00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:05.360 And B, like what is inspiring about that? 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:13.199 Like, you know, it's like you're seeing them live, you're thinking, wow, these people just plugged in something to an algorithm. 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.600 That's cool, kind of. 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:16.959 Yeah, look at them up there. 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:18.800 Yeah, look at them up there. 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:19.600 They made it. 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.720 They're playing a cover of a song AI wrote for them. 00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:24.560 Pretty aspirational, guys. 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.920 But anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:29.759 Really, it's it's mind blowing. 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:37.360 I get you know, I to be honest, I think some of the people who are probably most fascinated with this shit are like boomers. 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:39.199 Because they're just like, whoa. 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:44.399 But I think that a lot robots, baby, like Star Wars. 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:53.199 But I think that a lot of the younger people who are like Gen Alpha Gen Z are just kind of like, uh, okay, this is gonna ruin my future. 00:05:53.360 --> 00:06:02.079 Like, I you know, it's interesting that you mentioned like boomers because my my my thought was like, you know, I wonder how like the EDM bros are like reacting to AI. 00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:08.240 Because like at one point, EDM was all the rage because they were like, check out what this guy can do with his MacBook. 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:09.279 Yes. 00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:15.839 For me, like that was so like non-inspirational, because I was like, just the fact that a guy is doing it on his computer. 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:21.199 I mean, don't get me wrong, you cr you write music, uh, you play music and you edit it on your computer. 00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:22.079 I have no problem with that. 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:35.120 That's computers, that's for that's me seeing you using computers like you know wisely to uh improve your speed and you know, you know, get access to all the great programs that are out on a computer. 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:41.519 But like when I hear people like composing music on like a MacBook, it kind of like messes with my brain a little bit. 00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:50.879 I was I was thinking that you know, I know like a lot of EDM bros would like go to concerts and they would see like a guy like dropping mad tunes from his MacBook. 00:06:53.120 --> 00:07:03.839 I think I feel like those kind of people might be more open to like going to a concert maybe with an AI and seeing like um you know like a robot on stage playing playing AI generated music. 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:07.519 Yeah, they probably find that to be a delightful novelty. 00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:08.800 Yeah, yeah, exactly. 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:10.079 Like it's a novelty, right?

was cutting my hair and I was watching the kingdom of Babylon fall before my very eyes in that big barber shop mirror in front of me, she casually turned to Casper, who was sitting by my side, and said, Oh my god, you are so young, and already your hair is gone so sad. 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:29.600 She you know, they she didn't about anyone's feelings. 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:34.559 No, no, she had no time for people's feelings. 00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:41.440 Casper sort of kind of turned his head downward in a dejected movement like a wilted daisy. 00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:46.639 So the next day my hair basically started falling out. 00:14:46.960 --> 00:15:01.919 So not not only had she made it look like a wet, lifeless pancake with the sides sticking too far out and the top just this flat plateau, but I was also just losing massive amounts of hair in the shower every time I showered. 00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:02.480 Jeez. 00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:08.879 Yeah, I would go to the shower drain, it would just be friggin' covered in hair, pile of hair. 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:22.639 And so I wasn't I wasn't sure if it was related to the haircut, which now I know it was, of course, but at the time, you know, I would see those clumps of hair in the shower drain, and I totally freaked out. 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:24.960 I thought I was losing my hair. 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:32.799 I remember going to Meg's and confiding in her and being like, Megs, I think I might be losing my hair. 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:34.480 I might be losing my hair. 00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:36.879 And she was like, Matt, I really doubt it. 00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:37.919 You should calm down. 00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:42.000 And you guys tried to calm me down, but I was sort of inconsolable. 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:44.399 I really was convinced I was losing my hair. 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:45.120 Right, yeah. 00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:49.360 Cause I mean, you're you're trying to be trying to be a rock musician's your hair is kind of important. 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:56.080 Yeah, unless you're Billy Corgan, but you know, like for that look. 00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.960 Unless you really, really own that. 00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:04.799 But I was in no way prepared to even think about doing that and did not desire to do so. 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:07.200 So I'm like, this is a big part of who I am. 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:08.879 And persona, my look. 00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:10.159 This is who I want to be. 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:11.679 I can't lose this shit. 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:16.240 So, you know, Meg's is like, Matt, I I you're really young. 00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:18.320 I doubt you're losing your hair, you know. 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:20.080 Because I was in my late 20s. 00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:22.559 She's like, Matt, you have a big full head of hair. 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.080 I really doubt you're actually losing your hair. 00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:29.279 Um, and I'm like, I don't know, I don't know. 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:36.240 And so you showed me the this method of rubbing a bunch of coconut oil in my hair and on my scalp. 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:37.200 Oh, yeah, yeah. 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:37.600 Yeah, yeah. 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.200 And you were you were really huge, huge thing in India, yeah. 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:41.840 Oh, wow, really. 00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:43.360 Oh, cool. 00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:43.840 Okay. 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:53.120 So you showed me this method of rubbing a bunch of coconut oil in my hair and on my scalp, and you were like, here, this this'll this'll rejuvenate your hair, you know, and so on. 00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:58.240 And it felt proactive, but it didn't change much at the time for my hair. 00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:01.120 It uh only very temporarily, maybe a day or two. 00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:07.279 But I soon I soon realized though that I was not losing my hair per se. 00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:17.599 Uh, it was just the fallout from the horrible hack job that crazy Russian woman did on my hair when she ravaged it with that hair stripper tool. 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:25.119 She ruined my hair for the for the time being and gave me a near panic attack that I was prematurely losing my hair. 00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:26.640 And charged you money for it. 00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:31.519 And probably charged me like$60 to do it. 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:34.079 Unabashedly, I'm sure. 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:37.680 And also uh ruined Casper's self-esteem in the process. 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:39.839 So it was it was she was a lie. 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:41.039 Poor Casper, yeah. 00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:43.839 Yeah, so that's my hair, that's my first LA haircut. 00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:46.720 I was not surprised that there was no waiting line for her. 00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.359 Oh, oh, we got right in. 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:50.079 We got right in. 00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:52.640 We were the first customer there, yeah. 00:17:52.799 --> 00:18:11.359 I accepted from a very young age that my hair can't be styled because I have wavy hair and thick hair, and like ever since I was a kid, you know, my all my friends would gel their hair and they would make it look all spiky and cool, and you know, kind of like as if they were gonna go join Lincoln Park tomorrow. 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:14.000 And I was like, wow, I wish I could do that. 00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:14.720 And I would try. 00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:17.039 I would I would get all kinds of oops. 00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:19.839 I am getting a

00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:38.319 It's really hard to get a good haircut, especially if your hair is hard to cut, and my my hair is hard to cut, it's not straightforward. 00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:49.599 It's more like you know, ra cutting Raggedy Andy's hair than than like uh you know a Chucky doll where the hair is just straight and flat and it's just difficult for them. 00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:59.359 And so if I get a good haircut, I take pictures of it, I take selfies of the way it looks from all angles, and I save that in my phone. 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:01.599 Um, because I'm not messing around. 00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:04.160 I wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna get it wrong every time. 00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:07.279 And if I just go to them and I'm like, hey, can you cut my hair? 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:08.960 Just do your best, thank you. 00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:12.880 Then they'll just make up whatever they want to do, and it rarely works. 00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:14.960 So I keep those I show them those pictures. 00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.400 I'm like, here, this is what I want front, back, sides. 00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:20.079 And nice, smart. 00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:24.480 I also really try to use the same barber every time. 00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:27.119 And she cuts my hair and she does a great job. 00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:29.519 And so I use her every time. 00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:39.200 My hair really likes to get big on the sides and not big enough on the top if you don't cut the sides really thin. 00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:42.720 You have to really thin down the sides and layer them way thin. 00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:45.599 Like they have to be way thinner than you think they need to be. 00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:47.279 They have to be thinner than the top. 00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:57.599 Because the worst thing you can have with hair is

when the top is flat and the sides are big, then you just look like Krusty the clown, or you look like a Tetris piece, it just looks bad. 00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:00.720 And so that's the thing I always have to tell her. 00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:08.559 And it's really sucks when you get a haircut that sucks because you just have to have lower self-confidence until it grows back. 00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:09.200 Yeah. 00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:14.400 Oh god, I look like a tool for the next two months. 00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:17.440 Well, let's see if we have any updates. 00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:20.000 Did you have any updates you want to share or anything? 00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:31.119 Uh oh, no, not many updates, but yeah, I'm just uh I mean, maybe like most of the world, it's just feeling a bit of uh uh what is the word? 00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:36.160 Yeah, just going through a regression phase because like uh the World Cup is done. 00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:40.000 Uh for anybody who is watching soccer, who was a soccer fan. 00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:43.920 Uh I don't know how it was in and for you in LA, by the way, because there were a bunch of games in LA. 00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:46.240 It was the only thing anybody would talk about. 00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:49.200 And it was the only thing people would talk to me about. 00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:52.319 And I don't know anything about soccer. 00:23:52.960 --> 00:24:01.279 Uh so uh yeah, I definitely feel for you in your post-glory sadness uh or or come down after the games. 00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:03.440 However, I must admit I could not care less. 00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:04.240 I'm just getting you. 00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:07.599 Yeah, well, you know, I tried to I try to care. 00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:12.880 I want people to feel like I care about what they're saying, but I don't know I don't know anything about it and I don't follow it. 00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:14.079 Um Right, right, yeah. 00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:16.160 There's no no reason to, frankly. 00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:17.680 I mean, if you're not really into soccer. 00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:20.160 Yeah, because there were a lot of games in Los Angeles. 00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:29.119 Like we have there were uh we had like a couple of games in Vancouver too, but they not as not as high profile as the ones that were in like Los Angeles. 00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:32.240 So yeah, we um but it was great. 00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:47.759 It was great because um, like I said, my mom was visiting, my mother-in-law were visiting, and you know, they all they we all enjoy sports, so like for one month it was like we were all watching like m you know at first like in the group stage you watched like three games a day. 00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:48.960 It's just fun. 00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:51.039 Like I haven't watched soccer in so long. 00:24:51.119 --> 00:25:02.000 I used to play soccer as a kid, but I haven't uh watched soccer in forever, but it was just a great way to just go get back to like you know how much I used to love the game and watching it. 00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:29.599 Um and yeah, it builds up from like multiple games a day to like the quarterfinals where it's like uh or the knockout stage where it's like two games a day, then it's like one game of day, and then it's like one or two games every week, and then finally the game the finals are done, and it's like everyone goes home, and you just feel a little sad because you're like that was one heck of a month, and like in my view, that's like probably the closest the world has come to like world peace. 00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:31.279 Oh, yeah, that's true. 00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:42.079 I mean, I I would rather them be excited about soccer than be, you know, trying to fight each other or argue about politics or something, so it's good for that reason. 00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:43.039 Yeah, exactly. 00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:45.039 More positive than that for sure. 00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:54.960 Um what so obviously I I guess you were rooting for team India or Oh, if you're kidding, India does has never made it to the soccer world cup. 00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:55.759 Oh, okay. 00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:58.480 We we put we put all our money into cricket. 00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:03.039 India is like the is like an elephant, the giant when it comes to cricket. 00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:11.359 Like everybody like the Indian cricket, um, whatever, the cricket board of India makes so much money with cricket, it's insane. 00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:21.279 Uh, and like whenever India plays any country, even on their soil, there's a lot of money to be made because there's just Indians just love cricket, and there are a lot of us. 00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:25.599 Um but but it's changing now, like the landscape is changing. 00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:29.759 People from my generation want more diversity, they want more sports. 00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:33.920 So there is some money being put into Indian soccer, but we haven't quite made it yet. 00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:39.599 But no, I was just uh I was, of course, since I'm in camp camp in Canada, I was rooting for Canada. 00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:43.119 Uh and you know the Canadian team actually did did decent. 00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:50.319 We made it to the knockout stage just like the US um and just like Mexico, they were all we were all co-hosts of the World Cup. 00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:54.799 So they all made it to the group stage, and then we couldn't go any further from the group stage. 00:26:55.200 --> 00:27:01.200 You just can't beat those European and Latin American teams where some almost religion, you know, for them. 00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:02.400 Yeah, that's right. 00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:03.440 Like England. 00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:07.519 So England, were they the one no, was it Spain who won or England? 00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:08.559 Spain won Spain. 00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:09.839 Yeah, it was Spain who won. 00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:12.400 And um, yeah,

--> 00:32:20.000 Cause he really literally did start off, you know, just with all these siblings, uh living in this little mountain house, you know, not much bigger than a friggin' cabin. 00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:30.559 Because I visited there once when I was a kid, he took us there to his childhood home, and it was just up in the hills of West Virginia, and there was like nothing around other than you know, like a town barber shop. 00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:34.000 I think his dad, speaking of hair, his dad was a barber. 00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:34.960 That's a good tie-in. 00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:41.359 Um, but uh his dad was just like the town barber, and you know, it was just a very humble beginnings. 00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:54.079 Um, but he went on to become a doctor, he became an anesthesiologist, and he also got into investing and stuff, and he just like nice made a ton of money and was did was really successful. 00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:55.759 I can admire that, you know. 00:32:55.839 --> 00:33:05.359 It's it's for me that's there's something worth admiring there because he he didn't have parents just handing him money to to to get there. 00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:09.519 He he really had to like take out loans, blah blah blah. 00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:14.079 I mean, it definitely makes you wonder if a dream like that is possible today. 00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:16.640 I mean, it was in his day, he's much older than me. 00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:19.680 But I wonder if that's still possible in America. 00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:22.799 I wonder if the American dream is still uh alive. 00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:32.880 Um it's it's a it's a question that is worth questioning because it's like when people take out loans for something today, can can they in the economy can they afford to pay it off? 00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:36.000 Like is it worth is it worth the school loans, blah blah blah, all this stuff. 00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:41.920 But I guess in his time it could still work out if you were willing to willing to work hard, which he was. 00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:43.440 And so it worked out for him. 00:33:43.680 --> 00:34:07.759 But anyway, um long deviation there, but from what I was going to say, which which simply was just that we're talking about big things in America, and I remember Cecil, you know, his everything about him was big, his personality was big, his he was big, you know, yeah, everything he owned was big, his car was big, his house was big, blah blah blah. 00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:10.400 Um true American, yeah, he's a patriot. 00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:13.519 He he really liked Pamela Anderson, her boobs were big. 00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:14.480 Um just everything. 00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:15.679 She's Canadian, by the way. 00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:16.639 Quick plug-in for Pamela. 00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:17.119 She is?

00:40:56.079 --> 00:40:59.519 Uh Megan Fox, because Transformers had just come out the first one. 00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:06.800 Yeah, and she was on like this was when people actually read magazines, when like GQ and stuff had her on the cover. 00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:13.679 I remember just like, whoa, and cause because it came out that she was also like a video game girl, and yeah, guys were super interesting. 00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:14.239 Oh, yeah. 00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:21.360 As soon as guys find out that a girl is hot and nerdy, and nerdy, yes, they fall in love. 00:41:21.599 --> 00:41:22.400 Game over. 00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:27.440 It's like, oh wait, she's hot and she can be one of the guys. 00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:52.639 Yeah, that's why you'll find so many hot girls on social media like playing a guitar or holding a lizard on their chest and and stroking him and being like, the guys are watching it just like kinda out of hand now because like, you know, at first, yeah, I used to also like get annoyed because like there would be these girls who play guitar, and they're they do a decent job of playing guitar, better play better than me at least. 00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:59.840 And they all but all their video clips, bras and like low-hanging shirts, and I'm like, why are you doing that? 00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:00.880 Like, why are you doing that? 00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:06.800 But you know, they're trying to do their thing, they're trying to get viewers, they're trying to beat the algorithm, so I get it. 00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:23.280 Well, you know, exactly, and it's it's a shame that our you know, it's a shame that entertainment now is kind of reduced to that, where it's like there's this desperation to sort of cut through all the saturated stuff out there, the the oversaturation of content. 00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:25.840 There's just so much content coming at you. 00:42:26.079 --> 00:42:32.159 Yeah, and so it's like anything people can do to be seen or heard through all of that noise, they'll do it. 00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:39.920 They'll do whatever they have to do to like get you to watch this clip on TikTok for more than half of a second. 00:42:40.239 --> 00:42:44.320 Yeah, and if it works, then they'll do it again for the next video, you know. 00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:44.960 Yeah, yeah. 00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:49.039 It's a little soulless, but I guess it achieves a certain kind of goal. 00:42:49.519 --> 00:43:08.480 But what's what's annoying now is like um there are people who put clips their clipstick in the first, maybe like they'll put like the uh the thumbnail off like a hot girl doing something, and then when you tap it, it's actually something else, and now you're probably like, how do you know that current? 00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:14.639 Because it's like and it's like nothing related to the content, and I'm like, ah, you got me. 00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:16.480 I know you got me, you son of a bitch. 00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:31.119 Yeah, sometimes my wife will look over my shoulder as I'm scrolling, and it'll be some some it'll uh Facebook or whatever will be trying to show some video of this hot girl, and and and my wife is like, why is it trying to show you that?

00:43:48.800 --> 00:43:54.800 It knows a lot about you, and it will be like, oh, I think I've got something he might click on. 00:43:55.360 --> 00:43:58.079 You know, you gotta like this one, buddy. 00:43:58.239 --> 00:43:59.679 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:43:59.840 --> 00:44:01.440 It's it's a little creepy sometimes. 00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:12.880 I'll I'll be having a conversation, and then the next day it'll be, you know, I'll talk about like some country in Europe or something, and the next day it's like showing me flights to that country. 00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:14.880 Oh yeah, it's like it's creepy. 00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:20.239 Like I said, they're not even they're not even trying to hide the fact that they listen to you anymore. 00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:30.159 It's like a couple of years ago, they were they were a little they were a little like low-key about it because people were like actually posting videos where their phones were off. 00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:40.079 Like they would actually document it happening, they would put off their phones, and then they would just, you know, shut shut shut the eyes and everything, and then they would talk about like a product. 00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:47.360 Um and then they would open their phones and they would start seeing Google ads or Facebook ads for that product. 00:44:47.599 --> 00:44:55.199 And it's like they were it was just clear evidence that they were listening to you even when your the apps were off. 00:44:55.599 --> 00:44:56.480 But guess what? 00:44:56.639 --> 00:44:58.480 Nobody made a big fuss about it. 00:44:58.800 --> 00:45:11.440 Yeah, it got shared a couple of times, but nobody made a huge fuss about it, and they they were like, okay, no one seems to care, so we can just do it a little bit more obviously now, and that's what's happening, I think. 00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:13.519 Thanks everyone for stopping by. 00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:16.239 Yeah, and yeah, we will talk to you later.
