No scripts, no plans, just a verbal fight. It's a mess of genius and a sprinkle of wit. Welcome to the chaos, we're just talking shit. Just talking shit, and we don't even care. Alright, well, never thought I'd see Josh over there. to work into the intro of the song. That's a damn good song. Here we are. I'd rather not see that. I digress. I'd rather not see that. It's a damn good song. It is catchy, I will say. When I'm at work and I'm just doing my normal thing and I catch myself singing the damn theme song in my head. That's bad. Yeah, yeah. All right, so how's everybody's week been? Been pretty good. Been pretty good. I actually had some good money days this week at work. so that's been a good thing. Oh, that's good. That's always plus. Yeah. Yeah? Mine's been a lot of turmoil and fighting. Yeah, so trying to get that disability, huh? Trying, trying. Trying to get disability. Yeah, well. But, you know. You know what? If our listeners could help, you know, spread the awareness and... Our listeners could... Flood, you know, Tim Birches, Marshall Blackburn, you know. Yeah. Everybody that's, you know, in politics, blow their stuff up. Fox News, CNN. Everybody. MSNBC. The local news stations. CBS, PBS, NPR. I don't know that PBS is really much. NYPD, Blue, all of them. But yeah. All the initials. 100%. I don't know. So, we'll cover more about that for sure. I was single, but my core's engaged right now. Your core's engaged? You're single, but your core's engaged? Is that what you said? Yeah. What the hell does that mean? Exercise. Locking my coring. But what is the fact that being single have to do with your core? I just felt it because my core is engaged. What does it have to do with you being single? You don't. It's a pun. It's a pun. Is it? It's jackasses. Is it? Or did you just make it up? I am single, but my core's engaged. Yeah, but I don't understand how those two things correlate. Because you two are dumbasses. Clearly. No, I don't think it's us. It is you. I guarantee our listeners are going to be laughing. I don't think anybody else would have made that correlation. They will. When they hear it, they'll be laughing. They're like, oh. Hey, I'll be the one point in saying, yeah, that was me that said it. So we'll convince him they're laughing with him. Yeah. They'll be laughing with me. All right. So anything else anybody wants to share? What else did we have? What did we have going on this week, honey? Were you about to say something disparaging about my cat? Every time we go to get our podcast going, this cat rubs up against me. He just likes to say hello. Like I'm a fucking magic lamp. He loves you. Like he's waiting for a genie to pop out. That's his way of saying hello, Chris. He's acting like he's waiting for a genie to pop out of me. You know what would be nice is if I could, you know, pet your dog. You know what would be nice? I've never seen a cat just walk outside and just meander back in when it wants to. Well, that's because he's majestic like a lion. He's king of the castle. Exactly. He better watch him run those good years out there in this country jungle because he'll get him. He knows better. They don't actually go anywhere far from the house. They stay in the yard. Our cats don't go nowhere. They're too old to go anywhere. Yeah, they don't give a damn that much. They just like being outside. You know, cats are cats, right? Yeah, but they don't care that much. That's the thing. They don't care to go anywhere. They're content with just going outside. As long as they can go outside and chill in the grass, they're good. Until that bird lands next to them. Boom. You think somebody's going to pick that up? No, I said a bird. Yeah, you think a bird's going to be able to pick his out of them? No, they're going to chase the bird out the road or down the road or whatever. Okay, well. Yeah, he ain't going to do all that. That's just him bringing a skiff. He's a little too fat and lazy for that shit. Rolled in decisions paid with flat cats. So what Chris is talking about is that we have a patio off of our studio that actually goes outside. So we just let the cat in and out as they want to come and go. Interesting. They just slam the mic in his face. I heard like, yeah. I didn't know I had it that close. I didn't know you needed to say it that badly. I mean, we will let you say what you need to. Damn. Shit. I knocked myself out with a mic. It's a good thing you already got dickers. Are you even knocking? You ain't kidding. You've been knocking two teeth out. When are you chicken dinner? It's like whack-a-mole. With your teeth. I'm not kidding. Ring your bell a little bit. Yeah, a little bit. Bob Barker would be so disappointed. Come on now. You're like, son, let me show you how to do it. We should say how to use the Bob Barker. You know in all the years he used one of these microphones, he had to have done that at least one time. You bet the women that would. Or how many times did he hit somebody else in the face with it? I wonder how many times he got asked in the bedroom. He was like, Dad. Yeah. He's sticking it in there. Yeah. Had him talking to his microphone, you know? The price is right. Come on down. I thought I'd be into this. Hey, what we need to do is... He was talking into his vape. What we need to do is do a live thing so I can interview people and do that. Oh, yeah. Take you out to the streets. When they're talking, I'll be like... Take you out downtown. Knox will have you ask people, great people on the streets. Hey, we're coming at you live from Disarchership. We are wanting to do a live episode. We got that battery pack one we can take. It just has batteries. It takes batteries. Yeah, but Courtney's right. We do need to get to that live episode. So you got to stay tuned. That's probably going to be coming in the next. Week or two. Yeah, the next couple of three, two or three weeks for sure. I would say probably not this week, next week, because this week, this coming up week, Doug, Donna, and a lot of them are going to be on a cruise. Yeah, they're going to, yeah. So maybe two weeks from now. That's how cruises have Wi-Fi. Yeah, but it's not the most reliable. And we're going to interrupt people's vacations. I do. Yeah, I know you do. Well, it might not be the best weather. Hopefully it changes around. Oh, so you mean they have time to listen to a podcast? Well, maybe. I'm just saying they're on vacation, all right? Why are you yelling? Do you see me yelling? No, but you're pressing me like I'm the one that's going on vacation. Because you know all about it. I'm just saying they're on vacation. You know all about it. They stress me out. Vacations? No, you too. Oh, well. Oh, well. It is what it is. I get a little passionate sometimes, okay? She does. But if you guys take free yelling, it's really just me being passionate. No, that's called yelling. No, no. What I take is scars, she takes is deep passion. You'll know when I'm yelling, when I get my mom voice out. Yeah, that's not fun. I've heard her do that. Not a lot. Like, maybe three times. It sucks. Yeah, like, it sucks. You don't want to be around for that. That's not good. I have so many things to say right now. I bet you do. I bet you do. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. She may make grown-ass men tremble because they're like, what the hell just happened right then? Anywho, so I guess let's, unless there's anything else you guys want to talk about. I wonder about how Josh trembles when you yell at him in the bedroom. Yeah, because now you sound like you're an abused house husband. I'm sorry, honey. I just didn't line the tails up just right. It just said either you put down the seat or I'll put you down. That's a great movie. It really is. Do you know what movie it is? I have no clue. What happens in Vegas? Oh, I don't know. With Ashton Kikker and Cameron Diaz? I don't know that I've seen that. I mean, I've seen, like, of the movie, but I don't know that I've actually... We are totally watching that because it's... It's a great movie. It really is. I'm down. Is it something the kids can watch or no? Yeah, probably not. Oh, okay. I mean, there's nothing like... Well, I mean, they could, but... But there's some adult humor. Yeah, it's very adult humor. Oh, yeah. It's definitely adult humor. Yeah, then we'd probably be better off to leave them out of it. Yeah. Hey, old man. I like those glasses. Thank you. Yeah. Look at you. I wish I had some readers like that when I was wearing readers. Now I've got these bifocals, man. I'm telling you, that's the shit. I want to get Lasix. I want to get Lasix. Yeah, we talk in the microphone during the podcast. I want to get Lasix. Man, I can see so much better. Dang. All right. Any here. I can see clear. All right. I think I'm going to get started. with my segment. All right, let's roll. We're going on to folklore fact or fiction with Courtney. Yeah. Thank you, honey. What if I told you the room you just checked into still remembers the dying breath of a soldier who never left? What if I told you your hotel mirror has seen faces that no longer exist? And what if I told you that your faucet turning on in the middle of the night isn't just a plumbing issue? Welcome to Savannah, Georgia. And more specifically, welcome to the Marshall House Hotel. Tonight we check in, but some guests never check out. All right. Some guests never check out. That's ominous. I love it. She's got mirrors in her again. Yeah. Mirrors is usually a common theme throughout. It does seem like with a lot of these supernatural-based... A lot of cultures and stuff view mirrors as gateways or souls, like Abel to capture the souls, you know. Anywho, back to the Marshall House. So, the Marshall House sits at 123 East Broughton Street. Is that right? Mm-hmm. Okay. Right in the middle of Savannah's historic district. From the outside, it's charming. Raw iron balconies, classic brickwork, and gas lanterns flickering at dust. It looks like a place you stay for a romantic getaway. But beneath its southern charm lies a deep, dark past. Built in 1851 by Mary Marshall, one of the few female entrepreneurs of her time, the building was originally a luxury hotel for merchants and travelers, but it didn't stay that way for long. When yellow fever swept through Savannah twice, the hotel became a makeshift hospital for the dying. Entire families were wiped away. Then came the Civil War. Union troops occupied the building and used it again as a hospital. This time for wounded soldiers, and let me tell you, this wasn't a clean modern-day hospital. Limbs were amputated in rooms now rented by tourists, blood soaked into the floorboards. Soldiers cried out in pain and some delirious, some dying. They are buried beneath the floorboards. Some were even burned. And that, my friends, is where the stories begin. And, you know, Chris, you know how I feel about supernatural stuff, but if there's ever a reason for a place to be haunted, I feel like the history of this house is like 100% a good reason for a house to be haunted. Yes. I mean, it seems to be headed that way. Really? I mean, yellow fever, civil war. Like death. Just death. Yeah. Death. That's a death house. And I feel like any place that has a high death total where it's happened, whether it be an asylum hospital, you can't tell me that earth or that there's not like some sort of mark forever on that spot where it happened. Like you said, it's common in asylum and hospitals. And they said this was used as a hospital on more than one occasion. Yeah. Yeah. So. Hmm. Death. That's hot ticket. so the paranormal begins and these are some of the first reports so guests and staff started talking about strange happenings not long after the hotel reopened in the 1990s common complaints faucets turning on in the middle of the night tulips flushing by themselves lights flickering with no electrical explanation and then sudden cold spots even in the middle of savannah summer and it summer in the south is hot yeah but yeah. So here's the thing about i'm thinking there okay so is anyone surprised that there's plumbing and electrical issues in an old ass house, I mean, is that really? I mean, that's pretty easy to just chalk it up to supernatural. Faucets turn on in the middle of the night. And there could be any number of reasons why that could happen. Water pressure. I mean, the faucet wasn't tightened all the way and there was heavy water pressure. But more than one faucet? It didn't say more than one. It says faucets. I mean, faucets. Well, and maybe because it happened more than one time. More than once. And it might have been the same. Well, all right. Right, or somebody get up in the middle of the night that you didn't hear get up in the middle of the night to go pee. In a hotel room. Okay, but what about the lights flickering with no electrical explanation? Because it could be shit electrical. But they looked into it and there was no explanation for it. Did they check all the wiring every single end of it? I'm assuming they did. Make sure that mice didn't chew through it? There could have been any number of random. I mean, there's really, I'm just saying it's very easy to find an answer to electrical or plumbing problems, especially in a house that old. If you want to be cynical. If you want to be realistic, you mean. No. Anywho. Anywho. One guest described waking up and seeing a man in Civil War uniform standing at the foot of her bed just staring at her. Another said a child ran through the hallway giggling, but when she followed, there was no one there. Not even another guest checked in to that floor. And it's not just guests. Hotel staff, especially housekeepers, refused to enter certain rooms alone. so what's going on here so let's break it down room by haunted room okay so rooms are in this place. Freaking no I see this is not my that might not be any relevance to that well it is because she said we're going to go over this room by haunted room he's like are we going to sit through 136 rooms no there's not like a no, alright room 142 Ooh. This time, the lights did flicker. Okay. Fuck. Hey, both of you. Go ahead. Anywho, room 214, one of the most haunted rooms in the entire hotel. Did I black out when we just got 214? Yeah, you missed it, dude. Okay, good. Sorry, go ahead. Room 214, one of the most haunted rooms in the entire hotel. Guests report seeing a tall man standing in the corner watching. He never moves, never speaks, just watches. So that's one room. Room 306. Multiple reports of a woman crying in the bathroom. Guests say they feel an overwhelming sense of grief, nausea, and cold air, but only when the door is shut. Some even report the mirror fogging up with words. One person claimed it's spelled. Well, it didn't give you what it's spelled. Because it was made up. Maybe the ghost did that. People's imaginations are amazing. Oh, they run wild. That's weird to me that said that. Well, you don't know, though. I mean, if multiple... You didn't finish what you were saying. I mean, if multiple... You didn't finish what you were saying. I mean, if multiple... You didn't finish what you were saying. I was going to say they're liable to get a lot of questions. That's fine. But you didn't finish what you were saying. I mean, if multiple... You didn't finish what you were saying. I was going to say that. But for whatever reason. It didn't. So, with the whole crying in the bathroom... I do that all the time. So, somebody in the bathroom... I do that all the time. Heard no hear me out somebody in a bathroom heard their neighboring room somebody in that bathroom crying because the plumbing the way the plumbing would be laid out the rooms would be bathroom to bathroom do you think are sitting in a room crying but i'm saying no i'm saying none i'm saying once the first person heard it and it was reported all of a sudden everyone else's imaginations heard it too. In today's day with camera phones, the quality of them. This was back in the 1990s, so there was not camera phones or anything. I know, but there is today. Well, yeah, today. Today there is. My shit's current. Not from the 80s or 90s. I thought we were doing this today you were talking about. I'm just saying these are reports over the years. This talking shit has literally gone to just talking shit. But I feel like all the supernatural stuff could easily be explained away. Okay, so What the words reportedly that show up on the mirror say, still here. God. Well, that should have taken a long time to get there. Well, I had to find it. I'm still, I can't believe I'm still here. Listen to this. So there's a hallway on the fourth floor. By the way, you're doing good. Thank you. Where there's footsteps, running, and laughter. Childlike giggles echo, but no children are ever seen. One guest claims she saw a little girl at the end of the hallway holding a doll, but when she walked closer, the girl vanished and the doll dropped to the floor. When staff went to check, nothing was there. Kids are always good. Again, imagination. Kids are always creepy in, like, ghost settings. Okay, so then how about when we decide to go to Savannah, we stay in one of these rooms. I'm fine. I don't care. I can imagine every old lady on a walker they see as a ghost. There's always a little kid running. Yeah, that's a good point. You know, because kids are creepy when they're ghosts. But you see an old lady walking, you're like, she's going to the light. Yeah, it makes sense to see an old lady as a ghost. You should have lived to be old, and that makes sense. But not everybody does. And maybe that's why you see more young ones, because they have unfinished business. But who sees, like, why can't I not see the 36-year-old, or even better, why can't I not see the 28-year-old bikini model that passed away too soon? Why is that the ghost I don't see? Well, you don't believe in ghosts. All of a sudden, it's the, I'm saying, but no one claims that ghost. You never heard, well, yeah, I was, man, I was just staying in this hotel room. I'm just saying, you don't see somebody go, I was standing in this hotel room, and all I saw was this bikini model standing there in front of me, and somebody goes, Well, yeah, the bikini model died in that room two years ago. You never hear that. I don't know. Can I wreck that room every day? If you've ever seen a little show called Ghost Whisperer, but she has all different kinds of ghosts. Is that real? Any of them bikini models? Is that a real show? No more. Is that a real show? It is real? I mean, like a real real? Yeah, based on true events. Oh, we're talking about real shit here. So you just gave a fictional show. That's not even a good example. Exactly. I'm shooting. You had more holes in your story than a fucking screen door. That's the same part of my story. So what are you talking about? You guys went down this freaking rabbit hole. Your boat is sinking here. Anywho. So then there's the doctor who never left. All right. What's the doctor got? One spirit is said to be a Civil War surgeon. He's seen walking the halls, muttering under his breath. covered in blood looking for patients. They say he peers most often near the stairwell, and some even report hearing him say, Nobody ever finishes what they say. Hearing him say, Hold him down. It won't take long. Guests have felt hands pressing down on their shoulders while lying in bed, cold from pressure, then nothing. Is he trying to operate, or is he just relieving the trauma over and over again? Or is it people's imagination? Well, I mean, there was some civil... You said it yourself at the beginning of this segment. I did say, if there ever was going to be a place that would be haunted, this house or this place would certainly rank at the top of that list. You said there was slight pressure. I thought maybe he was trying to reline their spine. However... Well, I mean, they're holding them down because back in that time, they didn't have... Yeah, they didn't have the medicines they do today to pick your ass out. It was, you chop down on this or... Yeah, bite down on this leather belt. They kind of dope you up as much as they could. How certain was he, though? I mean, because... Well, civil war times. I mean, yeah. But I know surgeons that don't go looking for patients. I mean, they take a fucking day off. Doesn't this guy ever take a day off? Well, during a war. Fuck, you have downtime sometimes during a war? I've not been in a war. No, I'm guessing. I watch MASH a lot. You watch MASH a lot? Well, that might be the problem. Shout out to our veterans. We love y'all. Talking about fiction shows. What are you talking about? I was talking, again, facts here. Yeah, I mean, MASH was kind of based on some. Okay, but they're not real people in there. You cannot tell me that characters in Hollywood are fake. That those aren't real people. Well, I hate to personally... In other words, real soldiers boots the whole season. All right, so... Let's get back to your story, though. Back to the children of the Marshall House. It's not all screaming soldiers and shadow figures. Children, by the way, not bikini models. Right. Some of the spirits here are smaller. Guests frequently report children running up and down the hallways. There's a boy named Jacob who's been seen near the elevator. He's set to tuck on your sleeve and ask, where's my mama? And ask, where's my mama? Yeah, but when he turned to answer, he's gone. Why are there so many child spirits here? Well, during the yellow fever epidemics, entire families were housed and died in the very rooms. Some believe the children were separated from their parents, locked in the upstairs rooms to quarantine them, and not all of them survived. So that's sad. But, I mean, pandemic, yeah, probably. So you had Civil War soldiers dying, you have children dying. Yeah. Again, if any house could ever be haunted. I'm just saying. It might be this one. It checks all the boxes. All right, so the paranormal investigations. The Marshall House has been featured on Travel Channel, Ghost Hunters, and Callum's Paranormal YouTube shows. Some investigators claim to have captured EVPs, ghost voice saying, help me, don't go, and he's still here. Temperature drops of over 20 degrees in just seconds, EMF spikes in empty rooms, and even a shadow figure caught in camera in the mirror of room 214. One team said their equipment refused to work inside the hotel but functioned perfectly outside. Coincidence or something darker? So, I mean, that's weird if it wasn't working in the hotel, but it was working fine outside. That's one person's opinion. Well, it says one team, so there was more than one. You know, I've certainly got to say that this house has a tremendous history to it, regardless of the supernatural aspect of it. There's a lot of history in this house. Yeah. There's a lot to this place. All right, so I mean, I'm just saying. I think it, I think it, you know, I'm leaning more towards, you know. How come there's not more funeral homes than haunted? Well, not a lot of people die there. You don't hear about a lot of haunted funeral homes, do you? But not a lot of people, but nobody dies at a funeral home. That's true. It's more just a stop. Yeah, like, they don't die. They're not dying in the funeral home. It's just a stop. I know that's where all your friends come to see you. Well, yeah, and I'm sure they visit funeral, but, I mean, once you're out of the funeral home, you're either in the grave or made of ash. But supposedly spirits go where, like, they're typically trapped in a time where, or a time in an area where they have no closure. Oh, see, the Bible says, be absent from the body, be present with the Lord, so, but go ahead with your story. Anyways. Go ahead with your story, though. So, local legends and guest accounts. So, let's hear some real stories from people. So, one guest wrote in a review, I went to brush my teeth, and the water in the sink turned boiling hot without touching the handle. My bathroom mirror cracked. I checked out at 2.15 a.m. Another said, I heard someone whispering my name in my ear while I was sleeping. When I opened my eyes, no one was there, but my blanket was on the floor, folded. Staff report that room 306 is the one most often requested for haunted stays, but also the room that people check out of early without explanation. So, now you know the story. The Marshall House isn't just a hotel. It's a living museum of pain, death, and perhaps unfinished business. Its walls have absorbed trauma, its mirrors have seen grief, and its floors quite literally bury the past. Are the ghosts' reels? Are they figments of suggestion or echoes of history? that refused to fade. Would you stay the night? Yes. I've slept in a hundred firehouses, so yes. Or would you hear footsteps down the hall and leave your suitcase behind? No, I'd go stay there, and I would assume that whatever I heard is a creaking-ass old house. Whatever plumbing issues I run into is because it's an old-ass place. Whatever electrical issues I run into is because it's an old-ass place. It's just an old-ass place. But I think it's full of rich, full of history, and I'd love to go check it out. And I'd definitely stay there. Oh, I'd say that. We are going to. When we go to Savannah, we're either getting 2.14. Stay at least one night there. 2.14 or 3.06. All right, we'll do it. I'm down. I think it'd be cool. I mean, like I said, you would want to go for the supernatural aspect, and I'd love to go for the historical aspect of it. So I think it's a win-win. I'm down. I think it's fact. I think it's haunted. I think it's a haunted hotel. What do you... I mean, do I really have to say? I know, fiction. Let me guess, fiction. Fiction. I mean, I think the history suggests that if there's ever any supernatural thing that's happening in any location, that certainly checks all the boxes. Although, you know where I'm at with supernatural. Fiction. Fiction. All right. Well, that's the end of that. Fiction. Play my outro, and then we'll move on. Hey, fiction. Fiction. This has been Folklore Factor Fiction, and tonight's tale was one of Savannah's most haunted hotels. Don't forget to check the mirrors tonight, and maybe don't leave the light off. Until next time, I'm Courtney, and remember, some doors in Savannah should never be opened. Good night. It was a good shake. Yeah, I thought so. It was. I nailed it, as usual.

Welcome back, y'all, to Just Talking Shit and my segment of Is AI Okay? Just saying if y'all had one of those sweet thing cookies, y'all probably wouldn't have this attitude between y'all. I wish you had one. So you were chewing on something or shut the fuck up for a second. How's that for you? Scary AI news. That was that segue. Security flaws in GPT-5. Researchers have already found that Tet GPT-5 OpenAI's latest flagship model can be manipulated to produce instructions for building explosive devices and raising serious safety concerns for corporate and general use. Uh, yeah. That might be a little minor step. You know what pisses me off about that? You know what grinds are years? What grinds? What is turned your crank? I sat here one day, for a good two days, no, trying to get, so like, do these little TikTok videos for like little mini clips of my folklore factor fiction segments I do on here. That's not where I talk to Google. To put on Google, and I try to get to like create it, and it kept asking me questions after questions. It wasn't just created? No, and it kept, and then finally, it gets to where the end, the file wouldn't have flowed. I was like, you motherfucker, but now I can sit here and tell people how to explode things? I can't get your thing figured out. Make it make sense. But it can create bombs. Yeah. That's what I'm doing. Just help me, give me templates and stuff. That's all I'm sure. It's going to keep big. AI builds on itself, so it's going to keep asking you to fine-tune it because it's wanting to see if you want to take that next step. Well, and I did, and I did. It creates an algorithm. And I did, and I was sitting there trying to be patient with it, but when it gets to that point where I finally get through the process and the file gets to me. But at some point it didn't have enough information. No, it did. So tell me what happens with your file. All right. No, just tell me what happens. It said the file cannot be uploaded. Right. So you need to tell it that you need to, that you're on an iPhone and that you need to format it. No, I was doing it on the computer. Then tell it what you're on. I'm on a PC. No, you're on a PC. And tell it exactly what you format it for, whether you want it. Word. Format this for Facebook. Whether you want Facebook posts, whether you want Instagram, whether you want TikTok, whether you want fucking chat. I'm telling y'all I did it. You can look over what I did. Whether you want Apple.com, whether you want Google.com, whether you want Gmail.com, whether you want Yahoo.com. You know what? I will let you look over what I did and you tell me what more I need to do. I definitely will. Okay. All right. Continue. Bet. I'll look at him catching up with the kids' terms. Yeah. See? Bet. Got the Riz. What's a riz? Hey, yeah. Mass-produced AI chips. Illumine power surge. Open AI. You know you didn't use that, right? The riz. I know I didn't. It's the charisma. It's like flirting with somebody or something like that. No, it's charisma. I have charisma. Yeah, I think that's what it means. I think it means charisma. No, it means like flirting. I was working with a dude at the liquor store. He asked his niece, and that's what she said. It's like basically... Oh, then that makes it fact. No, it's talking about eating. That's who's using it nowadays is kids' hurry. No, that's talking about Edie. We have children that would know. I'm talking about Edie. All right, you're right, you're right. Y'all know nothing. Mass-produced AI chips, a looming power surge. OpenAI is preparing to mass-produce its own AI chips with Broadcom, aiming to reduce reliance on Navita and support models like GPT-5. The plan could double their compute fleet, but it also signals a potential arms race in AI hardware. What does that mean, double its compute fleet? OpenAI is preparing to mass produce its own AI chips so it's gonna it is going to Are the chips is what they're calling the fleet? Yeah they're gonna double that because it's able to create remember I talked about AI as soon as it starts being able to order its own supplies and shit Yeah, OpenAI is preparing to mass produce its own AI chips with Broadcom So now we're talking about self-replicating I believe that's the company OpenAI doing that right but that's self-replicating it's self-replicating ah gee i wonder i wonder i wonder who's been the one person all along that said here is a wonder wonder wonder and that prequel of the freaking robots taking over you know i'm saying do you want it now or you want me to wait till it actually happens just wait when i saw those hot-ass robots the other day that I sent you. And I said to him, I said, what if you messed up if that was an AI video made of AI? I said, those robots are banging. Because it looks a little good. Think about the porn opportunities that AI is going to provide. The P. Diddy of robots that stock up on WD-40? AI-powered gambling agent. Sorry. That made me chuckle. Just saying. AI Power Gambling Agents a recent episode of Wired's Uncanny Wired DeWired, God bless America, okay sorry restart that because i'm sorry that's us uh hey i was trying to think too i was like how can i can pronounce that because you said pdds like we can't go with that and i was like d witty i mean that's about the only i mean d w you know you're fucking so fast on sparks, okay sorry. Start that over yeah a recent episode of words uncanny valley podcast exposes how ai is venturing into online gambling offering betting tips and even placing bets autonomously via crypto systems success claims are in on that success claims are rampant but verification is lacking ethical concerns are skyrocketing so how do i cash in on this right now before i think you're missing the point AI is going to literally start buying us we're going to be the new cattle I'm not for sale man I told y'all this is going to happen AI is going to start they're literally going to use money with each other to start buying us you're never yeah but what I'm hearing is right now they're helping us out so how can I cash in on that so I can be rich and wealthy enough to buy my way out of being part of the cattle that's a valid point, yeah yeah y'all think i'm dumb y'all think i'm dumb by stocking energy i don't think you're dumb honey stocking energy stocking energy that is not how you do that no you need the ai to become your friend right now and be like hey feed me the gambling but ai needs energy i will give it the energy right now you got a fucking energy crystal you're sitting maybe like a fucking golden an egg maybe you don't know what I got. AI takes jobs because we made them dumb. They make us dumb. Futuristic Tom Goodwin skewers corporate over-reliance on automation. Would you just call me? I said, AI takes jobs because we made them dumb. Futuristic Tom Goodwin skewers corporate over-reliance on automation arguing that if AI does take jobs, it's because we made our jobs really stupid. He likens the AI frenzy to teenage sex. Everyone's talking about it no one knows what to do next i don't know that i agree that i don't know how we're making our jobs stupid because like because we're relying upon ai and we really are i mean we're not even having to write our own songs anymore ai does it for us well even with my freaking work it's a freaking here's the part where i mean i'm not concerned right right now ai's of benefit right and i've talked about where i've said if if ai becomes self-preservant then that becomes the problem. Here's where I'm concerned is what happens when AI eliminates 20% of the workforce? What happens to those 20%? What do they do? Like, how do they pay bills? Here is what I, here's all I have to say. Robots bald-headed bitch. Here's all I have to say. That, that, and the road to hell is paved with good intentions. What are sexy robots? Everything starts out as a good intention idea, but it always very rarely stays that way. Have you seen how hot these robots are? People always manipulate shit. Yeah. Use it selfishly. Yeah. Have you seen how hot these robots are? I've seen the video, which looks very AI made. It does not stop that blasphemy. Listen, you want to go stick it into a metal cone? Who am I to stop you? I got electricity shooting through my body right now. He's already half AI now. It's just like blending with one of his own. Okay. Listen, I try to say it's going to be silicone. He's the one saying it's going to be metal. Hey, you know what? I wonder if it's... We could be in trouble, honey. But to think about this. What if Chris's AI part of his body is what created this segment as a segue to try to take over, and it's going to use this podcast as a platform? Or you have a really stupid boyfriend. Well, this is a really shitty podcast for him to use as a platform because we are not anywhere near. She said, because all six people that listen. Or Josh is very stupid. There's always that. I'm just saying, I'm not threatened by his robot IQ then. If this is his goal right here to dominate this podcast. I'm just saying, it could be because his inner AI may be trying to execute a bigger plan here you know what this is just the first step bounce around in my head right now stupid is stupid does okay that's all i'll say there you go all right i'm just saying chris is in it when he fucking turns out to be terminator don't say i didn't say it warn you because ai pcs are becoming mainstream by 2029 so i'll be mainstream so garter forecast that ai enabled pcs will account for 31 percent of global pc shipments by the end of 2025 climbing to 55 by 2026 so a little segue from the PC, sorry. Well, enterprises lean towards x86 systems, but consumers prefer ARM, the AI hardware market diversifying fast. That's very rude. Well, I had to finish. You didn't let me finish my part on that. When did y'all ever let me finish? Did you just say that his interruption of your interruption was rude? Yeah. I'm sorry. Don't let the middle of my sentence interrupt the beginning of yours. Well, it wasn't. Obviously. Yeah. Go ahead. What were you going to say? We're all ears right now. PC, I want a... Apple is not actually Google. What were you going to say? I want a MacBook, a laptop. You interrupted his entire segment to tell me to get you a laptop. No, you don't have to. I'm letting you know. You're sitting there holding a iPad. Okay, but I want a MacBook laptop. I have a MacBook. I understand, honey. You want a laptop. But what I'm asking is, did you think in the middle of Chris's segment might have not been the most appropriate time to discuss that very conversation. He said PC, and then it... So let's just... When that happens in the future... It also stands for politically corrector. So when that happens in the future, let's just put that thought right back here in the back, and let's hold on to it for a minute, and let's let it finish, and then we'll discuss that off the air. Well, if I could curse myself to remember it later, then I would. I do hope you buy a MacBook. Thanks. Sorry. Apple and Tosh with Google for smarter Siri. Speaking of MacBooks. Ahead of the iPhone 17 launch, Apple may integrate Google's Gemini AI models into Siri. You guys think I have ESP? N? No. No. I didn't say N. I said ESP. Apple may integrate Google's Gemini AI models into Siri. This could breathe new life into the system, but also reflects Apple's current AI struggles. So they may use Google's AI. So why is AI, why do you think it is that Apple, in as far advanced in technology as they are, why are they struggling with AI right now? Well, Apple has lost several AI team members, and investors expect major AI updates to come later, potentially as late as 2026, so they don't have the manpower. So staffing issues are why they're behind in AI technology. Why do they have staffing issues, I wonder? That's a good question. Yeah, no, it's why I asked it. That's usually what it is. It's if Apple only made a device that you could pick up and fucking research it. Well, this is your fucking segment that you told Courtney earlier. Yeah, exactly. And what you're talking about is not part of my fucking segment. Well, it was. I was trying to deep dive into what you're talking about, your subject matter. It's because Apple had lost several AI key moves. Yeah, okay, but why? That doesn't say why they lost him. I'm guessing because AI's probably put the job market crunch on them. Yeah, probably. Probably put them out of work. So the AI team worked on the AI that put them out of business? Yeah, they did. That's how stupid they are. Talking about shooting yourself in the foot. And that's like asking, you know how some companies will go, hey, can you train this guy? We're going to put him in a lateral position. Here he is. Wait a minute, wait a minute. It's like, will you train this guy? We're going to put him in a lateral position as you. And then you train the guy and then they let you go. And you're like, Oh no, I just had me train my own fucking replacement. Am I the only one that's ever been through that? That's what you're doing right now. No. Okay. And I was trying to go into that, but, you know, you shushed me pretty good. But I was saying that's a— What I say. I kind of wonder if, like, with my job, if that's not going to be an issue in the next five, ten years. Do you think AI could do your job? Well, they're already trying, like, with armor. Armor is technically— Hey, hey, hey. They pointed it to— Hey, hey, hey. I'm just going to interrupt you like you did me. I ordered you a sign the end day. It says go on git. Go on git. That's what it says. Okay, go ahead. I just thought about it. But I didn't mean to interrupt you. Sorry, Chris. Yeah, I hate you. So when she was talking about what she was talking about, do we think that that may have been the most appropriate time to interject that statement? I'm doing the same thing to him. I did do your honey song. Thank you. See? Thank you. Okay, what? Now I can't remember what I was talking about. Go on git. Go on git. I'll show you the sign. Go on git. Because I said that, oh, she was, you were coming into her office. Oh, with your work. We're discussing whether AI could replace, could do your job. Okay, so like armor, the way they first introduced armor was, armor was. Armor is the software you use, correct? Yes, which is the new software, was supposed to code the chart itself, and we were supposed to go in and just verify it. It did not work out that way. There's a lot more. There's a lot more hiccups. Yeah. but it's constantly feeding armor like i'm part of a what they call the icd coder program there's only a hands like a handful of us that do like when we have icd 10 codes that don't come in correctly we have to correctly code them and it it teaches armor to remember those so you're teaching the ai yeah to do your job you're essentially doing what i was just talking about you're training ai to take over your so now i'm kind of wondering the next five ten years how that's going to look, especially because production-wise, if they can get to a point where AI can code it and do it accurately. Did you really order that for me? I really did, yes. Okay, that's definitely going on in my office. Well, you walked in her office the other day, and I said something. I said, tell us time to get out of here. Go on. I'm sure I get in there and start just rambling on, and she's thinking that a bunch of times because she's trying to focus on. Well, that's why I said go on, get. But see, the problem is there's only a parameter that I can go into because of the kind of information she has. I have to stay out of any view of private information that she has available to her. She told me she quit that job three weeks ago. She's like, she's not being around her. She's like, this is just the best time of my whole day is just sitting here watching Netflix. And then when he's in there, I'm just like... That's a screensaver. Honey, I'm trying to work. You gotta go on. That's a screensaver that you walk in on right there. And then I have like conference sounds saved in my phone for a Zoom meeting. Go on, get. No, there is low-key sometimes, like, especially if he's sleeping. I wouldn't tell him. I'm afraid he's going to come in. But my camera and stuff is muted, but I have to be, well, my camera's on. So they can see my eyes. Oh, where I don't know you're in a meeting because I'm asleep. Yeah. And then I get up and you're like, please don't come down in the middle of my meeting. I'm like, because they're going to be able to see my eyes and they can tell that my, they're watching me. I don't know how they do it. I don't know who can see. I don't know what I am, what order I am on some people. Like their zoom meetings like i can see certain people i don't know who can see me on but they don't mean oh you could i mean for all they know your animal push the door open yeah i know but if i start talking i'm like hey if i see you and i'm like hey no like they know i'm obviously. Talking to somebody like i can't yeah so that's the only thing but i usually try to tell you i'm like hey we just need to get a note for you to put on your door go and get right i mean literally so if i come downstairs and you're like in a meet and i see a note says in a meeting on your office story then i go okay i don't because at least once a month i'm gonna be in a meeting right because there's the update meeting every month okay well we can deal with that off the year all right we really did got down sorry book alert ai could kill us all if anyone builds it everyone dies you're rushing to get to that topic it's a book alert it's because you talk about this right here everyone dies by eliezer yorkowski and i mentioned that name and nate soras releases on September 16, 2025, arguing that super-intelligent AI poses existential threats. Critics warning this book as a timely and terrifying education are already calling it a must-read. What's the name of the book? It is called If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies. If anyone... If anyone builds it... Everyone dies. Everyone dies. Are you putting that on our book list? Launches uh it releases september 16th well we have an an audiobook app that we use so we're she's going to get on there and add it to our booklet i read books i don't listen to well we read some too but because we also listen to some when we're in the car readers are leaders well i'm gonna have to get to where i'm starting to do audiobooks because my production has started dropping again so i've really gotta do something there's nothing that rhymes with listeners that's That's why I said readers are leaders. Shares are. Nothing fucking rhymes. I got a rhyme. So you said if anyone. If anyone. Everyone dies. So I'm going to go ahead and preorder it with the one credit. How much is it? We have seven. Okay. I bought one of those Kindles, by the way. Well, it's the Amazon Audible app. I use the Amazon Kindle, though. Remember we were talking about that? Yeah, same thing. You should be able to do that. But I know, but I like reading. But then also two books. I wouldn't mind reading. I just got to find the freaking time. I bought the Kindle Paperwhite. It's actually very nice. Where I drive out to West Knoxville once or twice. At the speed of smell. At the speed of smell. Once or twice a week. Those Audible books are nice to have just on those trips and stuff. Because, I mean, I'm 30 minutes up. especially on Thursdays where his practice is in North Knoxville and soccer practice is in North Knoxville. He lives in West Knoxville at his mom's during that time of school year, and I got to come from South, so that's a lot of – you know how much driving you do, and it's a lot of them driving, so I enjoy the audibles during that. Go ahead. Books are good. I like reading. Yeah. So Wired AI Power Summit coming soon. On September 15th, in New York City, Wired will host its inaugural AI Power Summit, discussing top issues like the White House's AI action plan, emerging regulations. What AI action plan? I think I've seen Melania Trump put out a thing with AI, and I think it's challenging students to use AI to better their communities. That was what I was going to ask, because when they say action plan, is it like a defensive action plan, or is it how to utilize that action plan? No, I just heard something mentioned about that, so I'm not totally versed on that, to be honest with you. That'd be interesting to find out, though. Like, is the action plan based on we're trying to create a defense against it just in case? Well, it'd be issues like that. Or is it they're going, we're looking for an action plan of how do we utilize this in our government in order to be more efficient? Like, I'm wondering what they mean by action plan. It's more for emerging regulations and societal impacts. Hmm. It says a live stream will be accessible to subscribers as well for that Wired Summit. So they're talking about using it as a tool. Mm-hmm. But they probably need an action plan for a defense mechanism against it as well. I'm sure there's got to be. Oh, yeah, there's got to be. And remember we talked about just a couple episodes back where every state is responsible for governing their own AI laws. Oh, yeah. So you'll have 50 different AI laws because of different states. Which I don't know, you would think that the federal government would still have some regulation like they're doing everything else. Sure. I mean, like, murders against federal law and every state law and every county law and every city law. You know, it's a violation of a damn near every law, so it's going to get some federal regulation. Right. Whose phone's going on? Is that mine? That's probably mine. I think that's one of our children on the move. No, but that's what I have for. Is AI okay? So with what you guys have heard today, what do you think? Is AI this week, is it okay? No. Corny still, I'm saying it's okay as of right now. Although it's heading in a direction that's becoming very concerning. I'm going to say I told you so. This is what I ask of you. How many times have you used AI today? Today? Mm-hmm. It's up on our computer right now. None today. I used it a little bit ago just answering your question that you were looking up. When you didn't have your segment, you used AI right there? Yeah, but I already done that like days ago. I still used it. But you just brought it up and you lost it. Okay, so once today. But you used it. You used it. I used it. It's literally like I've got, that's on my computer right here. Listen, I know it's not on my hypocrite. It's okay, isn't it? It's open on our computer right now. It's okay to an extent, but the way it's going, no, I know it's going where. So it's a what have you done for me lately type of situation. Basically, yeah. Isn't that the way everything is? No. No. That's a dark mentality. Yeah. Well, I'm in a dark mentality. I don't know if you guys have noticed lately, but you know what you need? A fucking cookie. If you want a cookie, honey, I can make a strong recommendation. I know you can. I'm just saying, check out them sweet thing cookies by Elise Frenchy. They're damn good. Yes, they are. They'll turn that frown upside down. That's my lady. They'll turn that frown upside down. Well, that is my segment. Let's take a break. Let's take a quick commercial break and be ready to roll. Talk to you on. Hey, guys. It's your boy, Fat Jesus. When the crew from the Just Talking Shit podcast needs to unwind, when the mics go off and we're done talking for real, there's only one place we go, Chatterbox Tavern. It's the oldest licensed bar in Knoxville, and you can feel the history the second you walk in. It's located at 8227 Chapman Highway. This spot's been around since 1952. It's veteran owned and operated, and honestly, it's where we go to kick back, grab a drink, and catch up with some real people. Every Friday night, it's karaoke. You can find Sparky out there singing. Every Saturday and Sunday from 3 to 6 is Texas Hold'em tournaments. No buy-ins, just bragging rights. And there's always some live music, a few veteran fundraisers, and just a solid mix of locals who know how to have a good time. And that's Chatterbox. We don't just talk about it, man. We're there. It's cold drinks, good conversations. You enter as strangers, leave as friends. When we're back, we're back. We're back. We're back. I said, we're back. There we go. Okay. Everybody's involved. I thought you had a little intro that she was going to play. Yeah, that's a lot. Well, dude, but I mean, there's a segue where we come back from commercial and y'all got to fucking talk. No, normally she does an intro. I thought there was an intro song. No. To what? Well, I thought you had an intro song. Not an intro song, but an intro to your segment. Well, there is, but just getting back, we're not getting to myself. Well, then quit trying to hype up the crowd and get on with your fucking segment. Dear baby Jesus. Dear eight pounds, six ounce baby Jesus. You know he's a grown man. I like praying to the baby version. I hate you all. All right. So I guess we're going to get into it. So this week, we're actually going to do a little change up there, ladies and germs. We are going to move from the blunt truth history with Fat Jesus to just the blunt truth with Fat Jesus. Okay. So, anyway, here's the little intro I got going on for this next segment. We're going to be talking about how weed, the Mary Jane, impacted the whole 1920s and forward-moving jazz movement. So how basically the whole culture in jazz is centered around weed and marijuana. It's basically the whole roots of it that evolves is there. So here we go. All right, shit talkers. This week on the Blood Truth with Fat Jesus, we're talking jazz, joints, and green notes. Here's the blunt truth. Without weed, jazz wouldn't be jazz. These cats weren't apologizing for it either. They sang about it. They bragged about it. They lived it. While the newspaper screamed about reefer madness, Louis Armstrong was laughing, lighting it up, and blowing music straight out of heaven, man. Weed wasn't the problem. It was the inspiration. And this is the story they never wanted you to hear. They painted jazz like it was America's classy little art project. Lies. Jazz was dirty, raw, dangerous, and it was high as hell. Refrid didn't cloud the room, it changed the music, it slowed time, stretched rhythm, pulled creativity out of thin air and into the notes. This wasn't some accident, it was deliberate. Cannabis-shaped sound of the 20th centuries, and they tried to erase it from history books. Why? Because they couldn't control it, and that's just the way it is. Let's get into it. All right. All right. So it was a wild time back then with the cannabis. With some of our favorite stuffs. These guys are back in the jazz days, man. So first, I guess we need to kind of paint the scene of what New Orleans looked like back then. And I say New Orleans because it kind of coincides with a lot of Courtney's segments down in New Orleans. And a lot of yours take place kind of in this era, right? Yeah, this era, yeah. I mean, the Axeman, he wanted jazz played. That was his thing. That was the thing. So to paint the picture of what this era looked like, and it even kind of paints the, for those that have heard the Axeman story that got to listen to that, this will paint the picture for that era as well. You had kind of real smoky environment, right? So we're talking the early 1900s. You've got horses kind of coming up and down. You've got those rail cars. We're talking, you know, the jazz movement is strong in New Orleans. That's kind of where we're basing this whole deal off of. And so you got those streetcars coming up and down and clanking. They're kind of holding on by a thread. You've got, you know, jazz. You've got music going around every corner. And it was really a melting pot at the time because you've had a lot of French and you had the Spanish and you had the English. And you had even going up into the 1910s, you had the Mexicans coming up and putting a lot of their influence in. And so there was a because of all these melting pots of culture of the time, you've got basically sinners and saints all on the same block. Right. So you could be hearing a trumpet guy over here competing on the corner against another trumpet guy over here. Right. Because you had a lot of ragtime was big back then. Blues was big back then. These are all the musics that were involved in that in that era. And so you had these guys that were just competing on the corners, and you would have this guy over here, you know, preaching the Lord's, you know, the good book. And then over here, you've got... On the other side of the block, you would have, you know, you would be hearing the sounds of pianos and saxophones that are covering up basically the moans coming from the brothels on the same side of the road. Oh, yeah. Right? People getting, yeah. So, I mean, you literally had sinners and saints on the same side of the block, but everybody was kind of accommodating. It was part of the thing. You had all these guys coming in from port. You got to think, you know, southern Louisiana and, or not southern Louisiana, but the coastal Louisiana and the whole New Orleans movement. That was a big port town, so there was a lot of sailors coming in. So, obviously, with the sailors, they're— A lot of semen. A lot of semen involved. A whole lot of semen. So, you got, you know, on Fridays, they're hitting up the brothels. On Saturdays, they're hitting up the bars. And on Sundays, they're hitting up the churches. Right? I mean, that was kind of the routine back then. And it was a lot of, like, you know, back then because it was a lot of— You got to think about the racist times and the setting of that time, too, right? Yeah. So, I mean, you're talking early 1900s, even though— And usually a lot of the jazz musicians back then were, you know, African-American. What is it? Yeah, dominantly African-American. It was just part of the culture. It was spread to Chicago, New York, you know, and to Harlem. I mean, it was. And it did. Eventually it did spread up there. We'll actually cover that too. But in New Orleans at that time, it was dominantly black, but you had French influence. You still had the Spanish influence. You still had the English influence. You still had all these things. So, which is why you had music-wise, you had ragtime, right? You had old school gospel. You had blues. You had marching band. You had all of these things that were involved into the same side of these, you know, they're all these competing styles of music on the same blocks where the prostitution and the churches were happening at the same time, right? So, that was the, it was just so many different cultures combined at once. And it was really crazy thing was it was kind of like not they kind of lived in harmony, to be honest with you, at that time. You know, mostly music, music and food, man. If you can bond people over any two subjects, it's music and food. Always music and food. We all know how good that Creole, like some of that Cajun food, man. I'm not a big Cajun fan. No, see, I love spice, and I love spice. I love some Cajun things. I can't do a whole lot of spice as I have that over the weekend, too. I'm telling you, we try those bulldog noodles, you know? Oh, yeah, yeah, those are good. And it's good flavor. Don't get me wrong. But I took a couple of baths, and then I was literally in tears crying because it's how hot. It is literally just this one. That's why I can't. I don't like being in pain while I'm trying to eat food. See, and so. I like good shrimp bowl. But that means. Oh, yes, shrimp bowls. My shrimp. Shrimp bowls are awesome. And, you know, I'll be honest with you. I was turned away from country music for a very, very long time. There was just a lot of commercial stuff I just couldn't get into. I turned into too much pop. And I don't even, like, I don't mind a blend of cultures. I mean, you look at stuff like Run DMC and Aerosmith getting together with Walk This Way. I mean, that was a great blend of two different styles of music. So I don't mind a little pop in my country or a little hip hop in my country or a little, you know, country in my right. I don't mind that. If the song is good. I mean, if it's got a good beat, a good groove, I can sing along to it.
