2:27
up the computer and is full of beans. Wait,

2:32
Beans. Beans? How
2:35
do you get beans inside of a computer?
2:37
There is a prank video. Oh, god. But
2:39
the IT guy, just the look on his face, he's
2:42
like, there's beans in here. Why is there
2:44
beans in here? Where did the beans come from? Where did
2:46
the beans come from? Look that one up. That's a good
2:48
video. Makes me laugh just thinking about it. Well, how it
2:50
just shows that you have to be persist.

4:34
I heart radio app and we actually talked and we
4:36
had people calling in And everybody was like, oh my

4:42
Because the robberies are rampant around the city
4:44
and they aren't true right now Well, did
4:46
you give a plug to the newsletter or
4:48

4:52
I didn't do the newsletter. I apologize.
4:54
All right coming up We have the
4:56
the story with you about rude. Yeah,
4:58
I I have an interesting piece
5:01
of legislation that is trying to be passed
5:03
in California and I'm gonna
5:06
say a little bit about it And then
5:08
we're gonna talk about it because it's all
5:10
about controlling how fast you can go in
5:12
your car Okay And
5:14
how in California they're really gonna try to
5:16
clamp down on that and then we have some Gen Z
5:18
terms that we didn't get to Yesterday cuz we just totally
5:20
ran out. Yeah, you totally teased it the whole show and
5:22
then you're just like now No,
5:24
sorry, we gotta move on it is now
5:27
tomorrow. All right. So here are the top
5:29
five things you need to know It's happening
5:31
about tech right now. Okay, so New York
5:33
magazine has a big-time financial journalist. Did you
5:35
hear about this? Charlotte
5:37
cows And she
5:40
is a New Yorker, you know what a
5:42
New Yorkers. I'm a New Yorker forget about
5:44
Okay, we are smart. We're savvy,
5:47
you know You can't get anything past us
5:49
because we have heard and seen it all People
5:51
see New Yorkers are rude, but they're not they
5:54
just don't have time to be polite They're
5:56
just moving movers and shakers. What do you
5:58
say? I'm direct. Yeah Yes, very direct. Just
6:01
wait it. But it's not an insult. No.
6:04
It's just who you are. Okay, so here's the
6:06
deal. She has gone public with a
6:09
story. Now remember, she's a New Yorker
6:11
and she's a New York Magazine financial
6:13
journalist. Okay. She got a
6:15
phone call from somebody pretending to be
6:17
an Amazon agent who said that, guess
6:20
what Patricia, your Amazon account is
6:22
being charged thousands and thousands of
6:24
dollars in unauthorized charges. I got
6:27
this call. In this very moment.
6:29
Yeah, I've gotten these before. Okay. You
6:32
just hang up. She said, oh my gosh,
6:34
what's going on? She got fooled. She
6:36
denied the purchases and then they said, you know what?
6:39
We're so glad that we talked to you because I think we
6:41
think that you can help us. We think that
6:43
you can help us. Would you have time
6:45
to talk to the Federal Trade Commission right now?
6:48
I got the same call. Oh,
6:50
of course I have time. I want to help. So
6:53
she talks to the Federal Trade Commission
6:55
agent who's obviously not an agent. No.
6:58
She said, oh, you
7:00
know what? You
7:02
need to talk to somebody at the CIA. Can
7:05
you hold on and we're going to transfer you right now? And
7:08
so the person at the CIA said, if
7:10
you transfer $50,000 into the
7:12
scammers bank account right
7:17
now, we'll make sure that you get it
7:19
back. But you will help
7:21
us find the criminals.
7:24
Don't tell me she did it. She
7:27
did. She transferred 50 grand. I've gotten
7:29
the same call and I wrote it out
7:32
because I was curious to see where they were going
7:34
with this. Like they're calling you up and saying that
7:36
you have an Amazon purchase and you just say, no,
7:38
that wasn't me. And they go, okay, great. Thanks.
7:40
This is not a scam. This is just some boring
7:43
prank. It's
7:45
so apparent through the entire process. They
7:47
are not from the government. They
7:50
are not anything official. I cannot believe she
7:52
fell for this. She fell for it. She
7:55
lost $9 billion last year to
7:57
this scam. All right. Moving On to number two.
8:00
We're going to go to the Department
8:02
of Justice. Ah, there's a hush hush
8:04
operation. Don't fill a human. We'll have
8:06
to talk about the by the name
8:08
of dying Ember. Amazing. Bumper bomb bomb.
8:10
They get some creative with the names
8:12
of these things and I we don't
8:15
time but no I wanted. So there
8:17
are different brands of routers. Netgear, Aces
8:19
or kind of their of There's One
8:21
Cubs, Ubiquity Times and Ubiquity Routers. They
8:23
were not getting the updates. Guess what?
8:26
The hackers came in and they started to
8:28
do have a like started spreading malware. Now.
8:31
Service tax so. The deal J
8:33
said you know what, we can start
8:35
this So they went down into the
8:37
lines and into the routers. And updated
8:40
them automatically. Bump into this for everything
8:42
saying he wrote a book se but
8:44
they did it. They figured out where
8:46
you other somebody is going to say
8:48
I read or that's my router are
8:50
awarded for but not a specific are
8:52
fed through her is as do not
8:54
tread on me or my router. Okay
8:56
exactly So here's the deal. I'd say
8:58
default passwords on your router. And
9:00
if you have a router that you can't update. If
9:04
and I'm to buy a new router
9:06
right of ah and then moving on
9:08
that risk free look Ilan know hands
9:10
normally member the brain and blue talked
9:12
about that. A brave person had the
9:14
chip implanted and now can just use
9:16
their thoughts to scroll and click a
9:18
computer mouse. Him Tell
9:21
you. How. Little I understand
9:23
the technology that's behind. How.
9:26
The system because he puts in a
9:28
chip. You. Bright and then connected
9:30
to the different parts of your brand
9:32
sound his brain. Talk. To
9:34
chip. Through. The little
9:36
electrodes so crazy. and then there's
9:38
a box on the side. And
9:41
so what's happening in here Talks to the box
9:43
on the side. And talk to.
9:46
But the fact that we can
9:48
translate brain waves through an I
9:50
phone is just the future. I
9:52
mean literally is the future? Just
9:54
wait. Till. You know you're sitting
9:57
there and you're talking to your spouse. And.
9:59

10:15
And. Like I don't want my dreams captured as
10:18
like the weirdest for hims. Do you remember I
10:20

10:53
as such as out. Pixelate
10:55

11:00
person lens them the technology to put
11:02
in those want to in the medical
11:04

11:06
Way that's our tech. So.
11:08
That's the whole Feds get involved right? and
11:11
they see can't sell that watch and learn
11:13
or than Apple's like oh no but we
11:15

11:29
They borrowed from the company borrowed. And.
11:31
You're not using that watch. You could sell
11:34

11:36
cables they can disable it. Is
11:38
think that they visit definitely turned
11:40

11:43
ride down in it was of zap
11:45
gone in. That said Ed are finally
11:47
this from the Would is Good department.
11:50
A Japanese scientists are sending something called
11:52
the League Know Sets and League Know
11:54
Sat or it's a wooden satellite into
11:57
orbit. But. they seem of
11:59
that slam Because every time we see
12:01
a satellite, we see like, oh, all the
12:03
metal and all this great stuff. That's gonna be
12:05
so much lighter. It's made
12:07
of magnolia, and it's as big
12:09
as a coffee cup. That's the
12:11
satellite? Yes, and it's on a
12:14
mission, they say, to minimize the
12:16
particles produced when metal satellites burn
12:18
upon re-entry. I wonder what percentage
12:20
of capacity it has compared to
12:23
one of those huge satellites that you see. Nothing.
12:25
Yeah, and there's the coffee cup. It's that,
12:28
that, that. It is,
12:30
it's like the size of a coffee cup.
12:32
No one's ever went, have you seen my
12:34
satellite? I cannot, I know I left it
12:36
on this desk. Gosh, you know, and I
12:38
got it at Starbucks. Yes,
12:40
it was the pink one, those are rare. Starbucks.
12:44
Oh. Got it at Starbucks. I
12:46
was too busy improvising to hear your
12:48
hilarious jokes. I just came
12:51
up with that one. Brilliant. It was
12:53
brilliant. All right, coming up, we're gonna
12:55
talk about whether or not it's mean to talk to
12:57
a chatbot. Correct. We're gonna talk about some
12:59
Gen Z terms. Do
13:01
you know what Gen Z are? I don't know. I don't
13:03
know which, I get all the, I don't even know what
13:06
generation I am. I
13:08
get them all confused. It doesn't matter. I think I'm
13:10
Gen X. Are you
13:12
Gen X? I think so. Yeah, you are, yeah, you are
13:14
Gen X. You're not Gen A. No,
13:16
no, I'm too old for that. But we
13:18
can pretend. We can pretend I'm Gen A.
13:21
Gen A, is that from Forester? Exactly.
13:24
I'm Gen Z. Let
13:31
me tell you about a revolutionary new

13:35
got a business, your voicemail is probably filled
13:37
with messages from customers. Often
13:39
the messages don't contain all the details you need.
13:42
But what if you were able to get visual
13:44
information from your callers? That's something
13:46
you can't do with a traditional audio voicemail
13:48
box, but you can with
13:51
Filmore Productions video voicemail. With
13:53
Filmore Productions video voicemail, callers receive a
13:55
link to download the mobile app. There
13:58
they can view important details about your business. business,
14:00
watch videos about what you have to offer, and
14:03
then leave you a video message. Actors
14:05
and musicians can showcase what they do,
14:08
and callers to medical practices or repair
14:10
shops can report their issues visually. There
14:12
are so many things that video voicemail can
14:14
do for a business that makes audio voicemail
14:16
a thing of the past. Discover

14:32
it's Kim Comando today at your Daily Fun
14:34
Podcast, where we just talk about all things
14:37
digital. We have
14:39
a new domain, because some people are saying, like, I
14:41
don't know how I can enter to win, because how
14:43
do you spell commando? Oh, really? Yes. And
14:46
is it with a C? No. No.
14:49
But don't you own the C one? Oh, yeah, of course. But
14:51
anyway, so if you want to go to commando.com/ win.
14:54
But I woke up this morning, and I said,
14:56
you know what we need? We need a domain
14:59
that I can just say on the air. And
15:01
then people will be like, oh, that's where
15:03
I go. Because you say commando.com/win too
15:05
much. So I actually woke up with it.
15:09
And I wasn't even thinking about that. It was like, I woke
15:11
up and I think I
15:13
am brilliant. Well, don't you
15:15
say that every morning when you wake up? Sometimes
15:17
I say I'm beautiful. I'm good enough.
15:19
I'm smart enough. And doggone it, people
15:21
like me. Yes. All
15:23
right. What is the what is win
15:26
from Kim? Oh, that's perfect. Yeah. So
15:29
win from Kim. That wasn't taken? No. It
15:32
was available? Yes. It's
15:34
not dot like CC or.org/PBS? Win from Kim
15:36
dot com. Perfect. I know.
15:39
So I sent a note to Jeremy, and I said, hey, listen. And
15:41
he's like, hey, that really that's a good one. Win
15:43
from Kim dot com. Is it active right
15:45
now? This second? It is. Nice
15:48
job. Look at how fast and efficient you guys are. We
15:50
are. All right. So talk
15:52
to me about chatbots. I'm going
15:54
to go to the article that came out and basically
15:56
asked the question, if is it a bad thing
15:58
to be rude to a. And basically
16:00
the overwhelming idea is no, it's not.
16:03
You can be, it's not human, but
16:05
are there consequences? And they give the
16:07
example, like you said, of talking to
16:10
a chatbot. Correct. I
16:12
immediately went to my Google
16:14
home speakers. I have seven
16:16
of them in my house. Wow. They're
16:18
in almost every room. We use them to turn
16:20
on lights, set alarms. It's
16:23
become second nature. I've had them so long and
16:25
use them so often. And
16:27
I thought to myself, that's somewhat
16:29
of artificial intelligence. Kinda.
16:32
Kinda. Not chat GPT, but kind
16:34
of. But I'm rude to my
16:36
Google home speaker all the time. Like what?
16:39
I don't ask my Google home speaker to do things.
16:41
I make commands. Hey Google,
16:43
play Kid LaRoy. And it
16:45
starts playing music. When it
16:47
starts playing the music, I don't thank it. I
16:50
don't say thank you Google for playing
16:52
that amazing song for me. I so
16:54
appreciate you. Have a great day. Because
16:56
it's an inanimate object. And
16:59
I'm of the opinion. I was also thinking about,
17:01
remember back in the 80s or 70s, you had
17:03
the rabbit ears on your TV and you couldn't
17:05
get the game in. First thing you do, you
17:07
smack the side of the TV to get it
17:09
to work. We weren't thinking of
17:11
the television's feelings. It's
17:14
an inanimate object. It is not human.
17:16
It is not a person. I have
17:18
no problem with someone who is in
17:20
a loop on Southwest Airlines talking to
17:23
their chatbot just going off with a
17:25
bunch of F words because they can't
17:27
get their flight to Zacoma rebooked. I
17:29
did that today. You yelled at
17:31
AI? At Siri. Okay.
17:34
Let me know. Because I
17:36
said, hey Siri, call
17:38
Gate Westar. Okay. Because
17:40
you know, open. Yeah, that's how you get in here. And
17:43
then I got Western Loan
17:45
and Leads Company.
17:48
And I was like, no Siri.
17:51
Open. I'm driving down the street
17:53
because I want the gate to be open. And
17:56
then I did. And so finally
17:59
I tried like. four or five times and I was like,
18:01
damn it. Right, you cursed out.
18:04
There's gonna be no negative effects. Here's what I found.
18:07
Stop listening, theory. God, so annoying. I just
18:09
don't understand. I think we, you know, you
18:11
and I, we talk about this a lot
18:14
and we argue about this. I
18:16
don't understand we are so
18:18
gung ho on humanizing artificial
18:20
intelligence. Why do we
18:22
want that? It does not make sense.
18:27
It's because it makes it more approachable. But
18:29
we've never humanized technology before. I swear to
18:31
you, every single person watching has been sitting
18:33
on their computer, it's froze and they've slammed
18:36
their mouth down on the desk. They're
18:38
not worrying about their laptops feelings. Or they
18:40
went to save something and it's like, all
18:43
of a sudden the computer dies and you're
18:45
like, oh, right, stupid
18:47
computer. Why are we
18:49
humanizing? Why are we worrying about the
18:51
feelings of artificial intelligence? Why is it
18:54
so different than any technology we've had?
18:56
Because it's more invasive. And so the whole
18:59
idea of the developers have come up and
19:01
I'm sure there's like focus group studies and
19:03
psychological studies that people will be more receptive
19:05
to it. It's like the olden days, long
19:08
time ago, the first elevator. People
19:10
were afraid to get inside the elevator. They
19:13
wouldn't get in the elevator. And so what
19:15
they had to do is put a person
19:17
inside the elevator that would say, what floor
19:19
are you going to? You know, lingerie number
19:22
four, whatever it may be. And
19:24
so then they're like, you know, this is
19:26
costing us a lot of money. So
19:29
we don't really want a person in every elevator.
19:31
So how can we make people more accepting of
19:33
the elevator? So they put in the big red
19:35
button that says, emergency
19:38
button. Then all of a sudden
19:40
everybody got on the elevators. Now there is
19:42
a study out that says if you are using
19:44
whatever AI flavor that you're using,
19:47
chat, GPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, whatever
19:49
it is, is that if
19:51
you say things like, hi,
19:54
I really need your help.
19:57
And I want you to be a marketing pro. write
20:00
me some advertising copy for this make
20:06
it fun, make it great and of course give me a great call to
20:08
action at the end. If
20:11
you say please and thank you, you're going to get
20:13
a better result. That's only because that's the way
20:15
the AI was built! Exactly!
20:19
But it's not a necessity and
20:21
it was human beings that made that decision. Yeah, some
20:24
geek of the week decided that this going to be
20:26
the way that is is. I
20:29
don't understand it. They have to
20:31
humanize it to make it more accepting. Really?
20:35
Okay. I mean you would know
20:37
the psychology behind it but I'm still going to yell
20:39
at my TV. I'm still going to
20:41
yell at Hulu when it won't get the game
20:43
and it's the spinning wheel. Well, you know what?
20:45
When I got Western, when I
20:48
said open gate Westar and I got
20:51
Western loan and
20:53
lean company like a pawn shop.
20:57
Right. And I kept trying like
20:59
four or five times. I thought how
21:02
come I can go to chat
21:04
GPT and ask it for whatever
21:06
I want to know. Right. And
21:09
I just want to say hey Siri, call gate
21:11
Westar. Here she comes. Look,
21:14
she doesn't even do it now. You
21:17
could change it in your phone. You
21:19
could change it the number to something
21:21
simpler. You could
21:23
change it to penny and just say call penny
21:26
and penny will open the gate. What if
21:28
I have a friend penny? Don't
21:30
have any friends named penny. It's the only
21:32
way that this will work. Hey listen, we
21:34
forgot to tell people. What? That
21:37
we'd love to have their comments. Well they know.
21:40
It's a live stream podcast. That's why
21:42
the chat is there. Okay, but
21:44
maybe somebody's new. You're
21:46
right. I need to be
21:48
nicer. Yes. Less rude. Okay,
21:50
let's have a zen moment. So
21:54
If you'd like to comment about how wonderful I am.
22:00
How they're going to roll in, I can see
22:03
it now. the servers are over. Here is a
22:05
further fire and. They're
22:07
all over there all over but we
22:09
let we have Matty. She's monitoring all
22:12
of the chat upstairs and right before
22:14
we and the show and read some
22:16
quests as leave really preset s and
22:18
I'd like you to comment on interest
22:21
shoes work with cameras. There's nothing wrong
22:23
in my shoes, are ugly, seems so
22:25
not ugly and they are compatible. With.
22:37
Let. Me tell you about a revolutionary
22:39
new mobile voice mail app. If

you've got a business, your voice most
22:44
probably filled with messages from customers. Often.
22:46
The messages don't contain all the details you
22:48
need. But. What if you're able
22:51
to get visual information from your colors? That's
22:53
something you can do with a traditional audio
22:55
voice mail box. But. You can
22:58
with film or productions video voicemail. With.
23:00
So More productions video voicemail colors receive
23:02
a link to download the mobile app.
23:05
Their. They can view important details about your
23:07
business. Watch. Videos about what you have
23:09
to offer. And. Then leave you a video
23:11
message. Actors. And musicians can
23:14
showcase what they do and college to
23:16
medical practices or repair shops can report
23:18
their issues visually. There's. So
23:20

23:48
But you can also watch S. do
23:51
the whole pot right now for
23:54
justice a audio version you cannot
23:56
see how cool my bright red
23:58
ruby slippers are that literally
24:00
four days in a row has told me how
24:03
ugly they are. They look like prison shoes. I
24:05
love them. We need to get them
24:07
as a sponsor. These are the best shoes I've ever
24:09
had. Hey dudes. They're
24:11
called hey dudes. Okay well
24:14
I think they're hey ugly. That's okay.
24:16
It's all good. Alright so
24:19
here's the next big experiment coming to us
24:21
from California. An absolute
24:23
requirement that every passenger
24:25
vehicle, every passenger vehicle,
24:27
every car, every truck, every bus sold
24:30
or operated in the state of California
24:32
must have what's called a speed
24:35
governor. Okay. Speed governor. Makes
24:37
sense to me. These
24:39
are smart devices and then they use
24:42
GPS tracking data and land-based cameras to
24:44
verify your speed, your
24:46
vehicle, your identity,
24:49
and get ready for it. Automatically
24:51
slow your car down as it
24:53
approaches 10 miles per hour over
24:56
the speed limit. It's
24:59
called Senate Bill 961. Tech
25:02
is here and they want this to
25:04
happen within three years. So my immediate thought
25:06
is goes to seat belts right? You
25:09
have to wear seat belts against law. If you don't wear a
25:11
seat belt you'll get ticketed. In the state of
25:13
Arizona it's become a first offense. It used to be just a secondary
25:15
offense. Oh I didn't know that. Yeah if they pulled you over for
25:17
speeding and then they saw that you didn't have a seat belt they
25:19
could ticket you. Now they can just pull you over for the no
25:21
seat belt. How is this
25:23
any different than that? I mean
25:26
but it's automatically gonna slow you down.
25:28
So again the difference is if
25:30
you make the choice not to wear a
25:32
seat belt you have to pay the penalty
25:35
if caught. This you don't get the choice
25:37
or not. They're making the decision. And they're gonna
25:39
so they say they're gonna verify your speed, your
25:42
car, and your identity. Well yeah you need to
25:44
know who they're slowing down. Exactly. Now are they
25:46
gonna penalize you for it if you get caught
25:48
or they just gonna slow you down and that
25:50
doesn't matter. They didn't say that. Okay. They're just
25:52
gonna slow you down. What is your thoughts? Too
25:55
intrusive? Yeah. Yeah.
25:58
Even if even if they had a or report
26:00
the stats that showed car actions would
26:02
drop by 80% still too intrusive?
26:06
Yeah cuz I don't want them tracking me and
26:08
everywhere I go I mean where is that all that data
26:10
going? You don't think they're already tracking you? I mean
26:14
your phone company? Well yeah.
26:16
And your phones in your pocket or your purse
26:19
every single time in your car? I don't
26:21
even like going through Paradise Valley Arizona because
26:23
all the cactus camps. Right but
26:25
if we said the bad which
26:27
is the control over you in
26:30
your vehicle right could equal a
26:32
good where we eliminate X
26:34
amount of percent. But where does it stop? Well
26:36
we've been saying that for everything right?
26:39
That's where it starts. I mean you can
26:41
say the same thing about drunk drivers. Mm-hmm.
26:43
That they want to put a breather-lizer in
26:45
every single car so every time that you
26:47
want to drive you have to blow
26:49
into this thing before you can start your
26:51
car. I'm torn on that because we as
26:54
humans even though we have the
26:56
choice we are not making the
26:58
right choices. We are
27:00
continuously getting into vehicles
27:03
obliterated running red lights
27:05
and killing people. We're
27:08
Matt we're doing this to ourselves.
27:11
But where does the
27:13
responsibility stop with the person? I mean
27:16
we have to be smart enough to not get
27:18
drunk and the bar... But we're not. Okay but
27:21
the bartender has to be smart enough to think
27:23
you know what dude you had enough call an
27:25
Uber. You're just passing the buck of the responsibility
27:27
because what we're saying is human beings are not
27:29
responsible enough to stop drinking so we have to
27:32
have someone else take on that responsibility. Human beings
27:34
should be smart enough. They should but they're not.
27:36
I think the same thing like with drugs you
27:38
know and everything. Yeah but I get heartbroken every
27:40
time you turn in the news and it's a
27:43
story of some six year old girl that was
27:45
killed because her and her mom were on our way
27:47
home and they're killed by a drunk driver. Or a three year old
27:49
that just died in a pool. Yes. But I I
27:52
also see the other side of it. I
27:54
see where we don't want to have this
27:56
big government control and some big supercomputer slowing
27:59
me down. when I'm trying to
28:01
get to my dentist appointment on time. I
28:03
get both sides. But we
28:05
don't make good enough choices. The reason why
28:07
we're getting to this point is because we
28:09
don't take our responsibility when it comes to
28:11
driving serious enough. I do. How
28:13
many times... Right, but you're one of 330 million.
28:17
We need 329 million at least
28:19
to catch up to where you're at. How
28:21
many times are you sitting at a red light and you look
28:23
over and there's some teenager on their phone? Yeah, I
28:25
can't stand it. And I feel like an old man because I
28:27
honked and it's like, put the phone down. But
28:30
it's so unsafe and I
28:32
just think of that 16-year-old
28:34
not paying attention and hitting T-bombing someone
28:36
because they're sitting there on their phone.
28:38
There's a guy in California recently got
28:40
arrested. He would
28:43
drive in the HOV lane,
28:46
which is by himself, which you're not supposed to do.
28:48
We're breaking the law right there. But
28:50
he got so tired of following people that
28:53
were on their phones, text messaging or whatever
28:55
it was, is that he bought an
28:57
$800 cell phone jammer. So
29:02
as he was driving through traffic, everybody
29:04
lost their signal. So
29:07
eventually they figured out who was
29:09
doing this because people were complaining like they
29:12
got to this section of the highway or whatever
29:14
it was and they just got off. And his
29:16
justification was, you know what? They were not
29:18
driving smart. I don't think... What
29:20
was he doing wrong? He wasn't impeding traffic.
29:22
He was just making people put away their
29:24
phones. It's a felony
29:27
to block loose cell phone
29:29
signals. Fine. I see
29:31
both sides of it. I see the pros and
29:33
the cons of both sides. I understand anyone that
29:35
says this is big government going too far, but
29:37
they said the same thing in the 70s when
29:39
they wanted to put seat belts in every single
29:42
car. We said the same thing before. It just
29:44
reminds me that I used
29:46
a picture in the newsletter recently
29:48
of the car from the 1950s. And
29:52
so you remember the 50s and they were big
29:54
cars. And so where
29:56
you would place your child is in
29:59
the back of the car. window you'd put the kid
30:01
right there and it had like
30:03
and then we knew it was like a feature of the
30:05
car Oh, yeah, they used as a selling point. Yes, then
30:07
you put your kid there And comfortably put little one in
30:09
the back so he can enjoy the ride Yes,
30:12
and that you know it the vibrations of the
30:14
car would put the baby to sleep and then
30:16
all the heat We keep the baby all nice
30:18
and warm. It shot through the windshield like a
30:20
bullet Yeah, that didn't
30:23
last for a long I the cars
30:25
weren't traveling fast enough back then to be
30:28
that much of a concern I think it would be
30:30
but you do you remember I mean
30:32
sitting on the hump? Oh, yeah City I remember that
30:34
I would you know that place you were talking about
30:36
right there on the back You're late right there. I'm
30:38
late right there when I was a little kid. Yes,
30:40
no problems. No one cared Fun,
30:43
it's like I'll be right fine. I'll be
30:45
good getting some sun. It's nice. How does
30:47
it next to my smelly sister? Oh, she
30:50
was Alright,
30:52
we're gonna talk about Gen Z talk
30:54
which is important because I want everybody
30:57
who watches and listens to be Hip
31:00
and cool. Ooh hip and cool
31:02
and groovy. Wow. Those are so
31:05
Current terms and I'm sure all the gents.
31:08
Are you giving us the Gen Z terms
31:10
already with hip and cool and groovy? It's

all good. This is me, too Let

Hey, it's Kim Commando today. I like to remind
32:23
people of that. You know why? Because this way
32:25
they can tell somebody. You know what? I watched
32:27
and listened to Kim Commando today. And a reminder
32:29
is needed. I literally referred to the show by
32:31
its wrong name yesterday. What did you call it?
32:33
Kim Commando show. On the
32:35
show. Okay, that was a different show.
32:37
The Kim Commando show is
32:39
another show. And I have to tell you
32:42
something. I am super excited. I can't tell.
32:44
I can't say what it is. Okay. But
32:46
we have, because the contract's
32:48
not signed. That
32:51
was a knock on wood. Was that a wood? No,
32:53
this is wood. That's wood. Yeah. We
32:56
have a major affiliate coming. Another
32:58
one. Huge. Now, have you made
33:00
the other one you teased last
33:02
week, officially yet? Oh,
33:05
that one's not official either. No. Is this the
33:07
same one? It might be. Okay. But I'm super
33:09
excited. So I talked about it twice. Yeah, that's
33:11
fine. It's actually two stations. Okay, then I don't
33:13
know if it's the same one or not. But
33:15
it's one market. Does it start with a K
33:17
or a W? W.
33:20
W, okay. W. W. So we're
33:22
looking so excited about that. All right,
33:24
so we were asking for comments. And
33:27
Mary Jones, she said she's never commented
33:29
before. Never? She
33:31
says, you're both great to listen to and see. I feel
33:33
like we're in your living room. Thanks for inviting us in.
33:36
Isn't that lovely? We popped
33:38
her a comment cherry on
33:40
Kim Commander today. That's awesome.
33:42
I apologize for that. We
33:44
can edit that
33:48
out, right? This is live. All right,
33:50
let's see. Jim Ian Ozy
33:52
says, did you guys hear that Amazon
33:54
is shutting down freebie the streaming service
33:56
in April? It's not
33:59
freebie. It's freebie. Yes. Okay.
34:02
And they are shutting it down because of
34:04
why? Why? Money! Oh!
34:07
Yes! No.
34:10
Because it doesn't only based on ad sales when no
34:12
one watches it, the ad sales are not very good?
34:14
It's $2.99 a month now. Oh,
34:17
okay. Prime video with ads. Yeah,
34:19
which is garbage. We talked about
34:21
that while you were out. That
34:23
they just throw through that charge onto your
34:25
Amazon Prime membership? Let's
34:28
see. Liz Dotson says winwithcam.com
34:31
works great. Oh, perfect! We
34:33
like that. It's already catching on. Let's see.
34:36
Kevin O'Neill
34:39
says he would not get a
34:41
New Orleans Lincoln plant. Yeah,
34:44
I don't know either. I don't think I want to. I
34:46
mean, I'm not even getting one of those Apple Vision
34:48
Pros. I'm definitely not going as far as putting chips
34:51
in my brain. Listen, if this was something that helped
34:53
you. Yeah, if I was paralyzed
34:55
from the neck down, I probably would have a totally
34:57
different opinion. Jim says he'd go into a
34:59
transporter before I get a link. Chuck
35:02
H., this is a good one. He says a
35:04
friend was involved in an accident several months ago
35:06
and he can't communicate except via attempts at lip
35:08
movement. And he's also a quadriplegic at
35:10
this time. The chip might make a real
35:13
difference for him. Absolutely. No,
35:16
I'm not against what Elon Musk is doing at all.
35:18
I think it's amazing. Like I said earlier in the
35:20
show, this is the future. Without
35:23
Siri, Bradley Cornelis says, I use
35:25
Siri as a stress release. I
35:28
yell, hey Siri, release the crack in. It
35:30
worked. And
35:33
Siri's still going to be there after you say that. And
35:36
finally, we have some great
35:39
comments. Can you show your shoes just
35:41
one more time? Oh, come on. Just
35:43
bounce that back. We're going to see the front. There
35:45
it is. Okay. Hey, dude. Michael
35:48
Allen says, Ronald McDonald called and he wants his shoes
35:50
back. It's
35:52
a good one, but it hurts. It
35:55
hurts. And Ted Grindr,
35:57
he also said the same thing. He said, I know a
35:59
clown. who works at McDonald's. Who has
36:01
those shoes. I
36:04
love these shoes. I got three more coming. They're all
36:06
going to be new colors. Ugly.
36:09
No, they're not ugly. Except
36:12
for Jennifer. I mean, nobody's going
36:14
to really want to see you or go out
36:16
with you. I bought these way after. I was
36:18
with her for already over a year before I
36:20
bought these. Jennifer, we're depending upon you. Make him
36:23
a real man with real shoes. I've
36:25
never had like a fashion point in
36:28
my... And you could argue I still don't. I'm just...
36:32
All of a sudden you think you're a fashion
36:34
god with those shoes? All
36:36
right, so Gen Z. These
36:40
are some words that are confusing. They
36:42
say the older generations. One
36:45
is pookie. Pookie? Pookie.
36:48
I don't know what the slang term is. It's
36:50
pookie. You could be my pookie. Is that a
36:52
boyfriend or a girlfriend? No, it's just a friend
36:55
who you really love. Are you serious? You'd be
36:57
my pookie. Oh, well, definitely pookies, but I'm not
36:59
going to refer to you as a pookie. But
37:03
you should. No cap. No
37:05
cap. That means no line. Tell
37:07
them the truth. No cap. I've never heard
37:09
of this one. Delulu. Delulu.
37:12
Delusional? Yeah. Yeah.
37:15
Basically. Basically being delusional. Yeeting.
37:19
Not to be confused with
37:21
Yeezy. Yeeting. Yeeting. I
37:23
mean, Yeezy is Kanye West. You're
37:26
right. That's what yeeting is.
37:28
Try it. Just take it.
37:30
In a sentence? Yes. Everyone
37:32
was attacking me for my new shoes, but
37:34
they're all yeeting. They
37:38
should. To violently throw an
37:40
object at you. Oh, geez. Okay,
37:43
I get that one. That one makes sense. Okay,
37:45

37:47

37:49
podcast. Yes. We have Kim Kamehna's simps
37:51

37:54

37:56
they leave reviews for podcasts. We love that. When
37:58
you leave a review for a podcast. Because then
38:00

38:02
joke. Yeah, like you know say you know You

Yes. I'd rather wear

heels. I mean, you remember

at the Christmas party, I had done that lovely red
40:29
dress. Okay. Did you see

the shoes? No. Fabulous shoes.
40:34
But they were black and they had like all crystals
40:36
around them. Okay. They weren't
40:39
comfortable. Yeah. Why do you
40:41
do that? I don't understand why women do that. But they
40:43
looked hot. I'm the opposite.
40:46
They're so comfortable. But
40:48
they kind of look like they were
40:50
sewn together via middle school. You better
40:52

40:54
