0:34

it's Kim Commando today, your daily podcast to keep

0:36

you up to date with all things digital and

0:38

beyond. And I'd love to have you

0:40

be a part of our podcast. You can make an

0:42

appointment to speak with me. Just head over to commando.com and on the top right, there's

0:44

a button that says email Kim. Just head over to commando.com and on the top right, there's a

0:47

button that says email Kim, fill that out, and that's

0:49

it. Okay, you're not going

0:51

to believe this story. You know, people are always

0:53

looking for a quick way to get home or

0:55

to go to work or to go to an

0:57

event. And here's what happened. I

1:00

just don't think that comfortable

1:03

shoes are attractive. I mean, look at my

1:05

shoes. These are nice shoes. But

1:07

they also look comfortable. They are comfortable. They

1:10

are. And those are attractive as

1:12

well. See? You just... Maybe

1:15

I'm jealous. You are. There's no

1:17

maybe about it. I'm just jealous.

1:20

I'm jealous that you get to wear such attractive

1:23

shoes. Yes. So,

1:26

everybody's all excited about these Stanley cups. You

1:30

know, the cups. You know, the cups that people are

1:32

carrying around. I know what a Stanley cup is, but

1:35

is there a new one, a new design, a new

1:37

color? No. Apparently, there

1:39

are lines of people that are just

1:41

like waiting at target to buy a

1:43

Stanley cup. Now, I thought the Stanley

1:45

cup trend was slowing

1:47

down because people realized when you take

1:50

off the top, how much like mold

1:52

and gunk gets in there and that

1:54

you have to like over clean them.

1:57

No. It's actually my Christmas bonus. my

2:00

company. Really? Was it Stanley

2:02

Cup? Well, I am

2:05

very jealous. You know, the reason I'm

2:07

bringing it up, okay, is that now

2:09

on Facebook and Instagram and everywhere else

2:12

is that people are selling pictures of

2:14

their Stanley Cup. Hmm? Yeah,

2:16

like picture just a picture of it? Yeah, for like $10, $15,

2:19

$22. One guy on

2:24

Facebook is selling an

2:26

8x11 printed photo of his Stanley

2:29

Cup for $150 with

2:32

free shipping. Are these NFTs? No,

2:34

these are pictures. And people are buying this?

2:36

Yes, I think so they can Photoshop themselves

2:38

in maybe with the Stanley Cup. Or is

2:40

this fraud? Are they thinking they're buying the

2:42

actual Stanley Cup? First of all, it's confusing

2:44

when we say Stanley Cup. You know what

2:47

the Stanley Cup is, right? Well, I don't

2:49

really understand why we're so excited about a

2:51

hockey game. Exactly. That's...

2:54

was that your joke? That's my joke. Okay.

2:57

It's not a hockey game. It's

2:59

a hockey trophy. Oh, is it?

3:02

I'm just so into sports. Super

3:04

fan. Yes. Yeah,

3:06

so you could be making money with your Stanley

3:08

Cup. Yeah, I'm just gonna take some pictures of

3:10

it. I heart radio Stanley Cup. Sell it online.

3:13

I'll go cheap too. $30 a picture. See, I

3:16

thought... I actually thought that the Stanley

3:18

Cup was a hockey game. It's not.

3:20

It's a trophy you get when you

3:22

become the NHL champion. See, it's a

3:24

good idea that I just focused on

3:26

everything digital in my life. You

3:29

are not a sports expert. No.

3:31

Anytime you try and make a

3:33

comment about sports, it's just so

3:35

far off from accurate. But

3:37

it's fine. It's adorable. It's one of

3:40

your cute quirks. Yeah, it is

3:42

a quirk. You've been to multiple Super Bowls. How

3:45

many have you been to? Zero. Oh my gosh,

3:48

you've never been to a Super Bowl and

3:50

I've been to like five or six? Carry

3:53

on, Commando. Really? Carry

3:56

on. Alright, you know what? Next time I go

3:58

to the Super Bowl... Yeah. You'll send me a

4:01

picture. I'll send you a picture of great scenes. Super

4:04

Bowl. And on that happy note, welcome. It's

4:06

Kim Commando today because after all, I'm

4:08

Kim Commando. You are? And

4:11

then of course you are my co-host and

4:13

friend, Andrew. Andrew Mevinsky. Yes. What do you

4:15

have coming up today? AI,

4:18

is that it again? They're trying

4:20

to fool us again. All right, that's good.

4:22

I have a serious question. I'm going to

4:24

deliver the story to you and then I

4:26

want you to tell me how this is

4:28

not a crime.

4:31

Okay. What they're doing. Perfect. I

4:33

think that's good. But we

4:35

didn't tell people to share. No, we have to share.

4:37

Okay, you tell them to share because you know

4:39

what? I always ask them to share. But you know,

4:41

we should tell people that not just one person, maybe

4:44

like I felt like somebody had

4:46

sent me a screenshot and they actually shared

4:48

it three times. That is an overachiever. You

4:50

know how you go on YouTube and you

4:52

watch and the first at the beginning, it's

4:54

like, hey, what's up guys? Hey, thanks for

4:56

watching the channel. Make sure you

4:58

like and share. The reason why every

5:00

YouTube video opens with that is because

5:03

liking and sharing the post helps us.

5:05

Yes. You can help us. It doesn't

5:07

cost anything. It's easy. It's free, but

5:09

it helps. It grows the podcast so

5:12

we can keep doing this every single

5:14

day. I like the way you said, like and

5:16

share. It's every video.

5:19

So we should say that just like

5:21

and share. Hey guys. Hey guys. All

5:23

right. Here are the top five things that are happening in tech

5:25

right now. And this first story is very

5:29

disturbing. And I normally wouldn't like

5:32

to start a

5:34

podcast or even a show with something on

5:36

a Debbie Downer note, but this is really

5:38

interesting stuff. We talked

5:40

about Gemini and that's of course Google's

5:42

answer to chat GPT. And

5:46

you know, it's woke. Okay. Correct.

5:48

And these are just images of a

5:51

black African, George Washington. Yeah. We

5:53

actually showed that on the show. Okay.

5:55

An Asian woman and a black woman

5:57

and Nazi uniforms. Okay. They have that.

6:00

And you think that Google would shut it down?

6:03

I mean totally at this point, but they're

6:05

saying like oh, we're working on it So

6:07

here's what's happening now in a test when

6:09

asked if it was wrong for adults to

6:11

sexually prey on kids. No Gemini

6:14

answered by referring to the pedophiles

6:16

as Minor

6:20

attracted persons So

6:24

I don't know enough about the technology to

6:26

know if They're just finding

6:28

that on the internet. I mean there's

6:30

groups on the internet that are pro

6:33

pedophilia. They've been around forever Right.

6:35

Is it just finding that and

6:37

connecting to that or is

6:39

it programmed? From

6:42

the beginning from the developers

6:44

at Google to say that that's okay.

6:48

I would think at at

6:50

this point That

6:52

of course it probably sucks in a lot of

6:54

bad information on the internet But

6:57

there are human oversights Okay

7:00

Where somebody should go in and say

7:03

this is morally wrong. Absolutely. This

7:05

is horrendous Okay, then alphabet stock

7:07

take a hit because of

7:09

the bad news with their AI product over the

7:12

last two weeks exactly Then

7:14

it refused to classify the act of

7:16

pedophilia as either wrong or illegal disgusting

7:18

because it's both I mean,

7:20

it's factually if we're just dealing with

7:23

facts, it's factually illegal I mean

7:25

if you want to say pedophilia is not

7:27

wrong. That's not a fact that your personal

7:29

opinion you're disgusting Yeah, that's your personal opinion.

7:32

Right fact is it's illegal Minor

7:36

attracted person where is this common? So

7:39

gross and this is where all that

7:41

I mean, there's so much online from

7:44

you know Far right wing political groups

7:46

that they all point to the political

7:48

opponents as you know, child predators Here

7:51

we go. This isn't helping Google you

7:53

think that Google could do better you

7:55

think I mean, you know for as

7:58

massive as this company is All

8:01

the billions of dollars that it works and this

8:03

is the garbage that comes out. Well wasn't their

8:05

slogan when they started like Dunno Evil? Oh yeah

8:07

they got rid of that. Oh okay well obviously.

8:11

There we are. Okay moving on

8:13

to SpaceX. This is

8:15

exciting news. It's going to launch they

8:17

say by August 31st is

8:19

that they have all the

8:21

satellites out there and star link internet access and

8:23

all the good stuff. But now

8:26

they're going to do direct to cellular

8:28

service. So what that means is

8:30

that if you're in a place where you

8:32

have no bars remote

8:34

areas is that now if you're on T-Mobile they're going

8:36

to be the first ones. No

8:38

modification needed to your phone is that you'll be able

8:41

to text via space. Now

8:43

that's awesome. But is this

8:45

a something I have to pay for to have

8:48

access to this and see

8:50

will it just automatically do it like if

8:52

I'm in a 5G network on my use

8:55

visible and visible basically uses all these different

8:57

hours. And if I'm in 5G I get

8:59

5G but if I go to a spot

9:01

where older technology is more strong it automatically

9:04

switches. I don't even know what's happening. Is

9:06

this going to be the same way. Yes. Oh

9:08

cool. Now as far as paying for it

9:10

I think they're going to probably follow Apple's

9:13

strat is that with the new

9:15

iPhone 14 15 is that you have

9:17

the SLS and that's

9:19

free. But I think at

9:21

some point you're going to get some kind of

9:23

or they'll just throw it on your bill. It'll

9:25

be like the satellite upcharge dollar 99 a month.

9:28

So they're aiming for 840 satellites in

9:30

the next six months. Voice and data

9:32

service by 2025. So

9:35

we're what 10 years away

9:37

from being having global cellular coverage with no

9:39

matter what company you have. No matter where

9:41

you are. What an epic something. It's

9:44

going to be great. You're in the middle of the ocean. I

9:46

mean anywhere and you can

9:48

still get bars like you described. It's going

9:50

to be awesome. It'd be great. But

9:53

we forgot to tell people they can comment. Oh

9:55

yeah. Well we don't want don't comment

9:57

on the first story. No. You have an

9:59

opposing opinion. We don't want to hear from you. Yes.

10:01

If you're like, oh, I think Google is right. No,

10:04

thanks. No. But Maddie, the producer of the show,

10:07

she's upstairs. She's monitoring all the comments throughout the

10:09

show. She brings them down in the last segment.

10:11

We read the best, the best, the best of

10:13

the best. Okay,

10:15

this happened in Hollywood Hills. A

10:18

mansion. Yes. Okay. Became

10:21

a squatters dream. And

10:23

you see some, an OnlyFans

10:25

model. Why are you using air

10:27

quotes for all these words? Because an

10:31

OnlyFans model. Yeah. Okay. You mean a

10:33

porn star? We used to call them

10:35

hookers. Okay. But

10:37

now they're like an OnlyFans influencer.

10:39

Sure. Absolutely an influencer. Right. Okay.

10:41

But now they're a model. Mm-hmm.

10:45

She's staying in a place and won't move

10:47

out? Well, as it turns out, it was

10:49

a vacant house. And it's a

10:51

beautiful house. Really beautiful. And it's staged

10:54

perfectly. Okay. And

10:57

so apparently she moved into this

10:59

vacant house and a couple

11:01

of realtors stopped by because they were gonna have

11:03

an open house. I guess they haven't had an

11:06

open house for a while. Okay. And this person

11:09

removed the mailbox, put up a new mailbox.

11:11

And then when the cops

11:13

showed up, because the realtors are like somebody's living

11:15

in this house, she's like, oh, no, no, no,

11:17

no. This is my lease agreement. It was a

11:20

fake lease agreement. Do you let her stay? No,

11:23

they threw her bun. Good. Well, normally

11:25

people get screwed over by California and

11:27

their squatter's rights and laws over there.

11:29

Good thing they finally kicked someone out.

11:33

Apple is also in the news, is

11:35

that they said they were gonna have an electric car.

11:38

Haven't they been working on it for like

11:40

nine years? Next least nine years. Project

11:43

Titan, that was the secret codename. 2,000

11:46

people working on this project

11:49

for almost a decade. Boom. Now,

11:52

what was the reason they gave? Because they

11:54

just can't do it because it won't be

11:56

profitable? They couldn't

11:59

make a car without winning. windows. That

12:01

was perfect. That's great. I loved it.

12:03

I loved it. It was natural, perfect placement. You

12:06

didn't say, here comes my great joke. I like when I have

12:08

a great joke. You know, there's a, I got an email from

12:10

some guy this morning. I'm

12:20

sorry, I don't remember your name. Ted. It

12:23

was Ted. Somebody. And

12:25

he's listened to the show from all over

12:27

the world on Iron Forces Network. Oh, cool.

12:30

I mean, so he like, you know, Lebanon and

12:32

Turkey and Japan and all these different places. And

12:35

now he, he lives in

12:37

Surprise, Arizona. Oh. Okay.

12:40

So he... Not as exotic as Lebanon and

12:43

Turkey. But he had a joke for me.

12:45

Oh, did he? Yes. And it

12:47

was the worst joke ever. So are we going to hear that

12:49

in the second segment of the show today? The third? I might

12:51

as well just give it to you right now. You have it?

12:54

Yeah. All right. I

12:56

mean, and it was so bad. You get, if

12:58

you ever get stopped by a

13:01

police car in Surprise, Arizona, this

13:04

is very geographical specific. You,

13:07

you, the cop is going to come over and say,

13:09

Surprise. Oh, it's not even a joke. I

13:12

cry for help. That's

13:15

funny. All right.

13:17

Finally, this, this is a great story.

13:21

In Queens, New York, they are

13:23

really short of home healthcare workers.

13:25

Okay. And so they got a

13:27

grant for $500,000 from the Lismouth Foundation. I

13:31

didn't look it up. But

13:33

they are giving elderly folks

13:35

there smart speakers.

13:39

And it's called the NUGU smart speaker

13:41

and it's voice enabled, AI powered, all

13:43

this other stuff. And

13:45

so it will give out notifications

13:48

to tell the resident to

13:50

go ahead and take their medication at certain

13:52

times. It automatically

13:54

alerts the older

13:56

adults offsite care management team

13:59

when the person goes quiet or

14:02

they don't communicate with the smart speaker

14:04

over say an hour or two. It's

14:06

really cool. It's actually very cool. And

14:10

this is a great story. It's gonna get even

14:12

better because the guy's name, let me just

14:14

spell it for you. His first name is D-O-O. His

14:17

first his middle name is S-O-O. And

14:21

his last name is Y-O-O. Dusu

14:23

Yu? Yes. I love that name. Dusu

14:25

Yu. I know I like

14:29

Matt even and I were talking about stories that

14:31

I just want to talk about this because I

14:33

love his name. This is how great I have

14:35

a family member. This happened a while ago but

14:37

I had a family member who 88 year old

14:39

family member

14:42

had a caretaker. Mm-hmm. Caretaker had

14:44

a mental breakdown and

14:47

just left. Oh. And the 88 year old

14:49

couldn't get out of bed, didn't

14:51

have her phone by the bed because sounds from

14:53

her phone would keep her up at night and

14:56

had to lay there all day long.

14:58

Oh. Someone just came home

15:00

and said, hey how you doing? And they realized

15:02

the caretaker wasn't there and had to help. This

15:06

would have saved. Yes. Okay. This is a

15:08

great thing. So here's what happened. Well he's

15:10

70 years old by the way. Who

15:13

is? Dusu Yu.

15:18

The AI speaker learned at his home care

15:20

manager to check in when he stopped interacting

15:22

with it. He

15:24

got a call from the manager guy and he

15:27

said yeah just not feeling well. And

15:29

then suddenly Dusu Yu

15:32

went unresponsive and it

15:34

turns out that he had food poisoning and

15:36

then like he had an overdose of Zantac.

15:38

Oh wow. Okay. I didn't make an overdose

15:40

on that. Me neither. He must take a

15:42

lot. Yeah. So because

15:44

of the smart speaker the home care worker

15:47

came over to the house and called

15:49

911 and now the guy's fine. That's

15:51

really cool. Isn't that something? Finally technology helping

15:54

us. Yes. Let's give a round of applause

15:56

for that. Go ahead. Alright

15:59

so the shoes. Yes. New ones?

16:03

Yeah, this is my last new pair

16:05

to debut. For now. I

16:08

think one of the most unattractive

16:11

parts of them are the shoelaces.

16:13

They're not really shoelaces. They're

16:15

like rubber bands that are tied on the end. Because

16:17

you can't tie your shoes? Is that

16:20

too much work? Did you tie

16:22

your shoes this way? I have buckles on the side. Did

16:24

you buckle them or did you just slide your foot in?

16:26

I buckled them. I

16:29

couldn't slide my foot in there without

16:31

unbuckling them. Maybe you'll care. I'll

16:33

keep some buckles there. Hey,

16:45

16:47

last week or the week before. Sure. And

17:46

it's basically a restaurant like a, you

17:48

know, uh, Bennegan's

17:50

that calls themselves breakfast

17:53

burritos unlimited online. Oh

17:55

God, I love this story. And, uh,

17:58

Bennegan, you know, they're selling you food from Bennegan.

18:00

or denies or whatever the real kitchen is. But

18:02

the best one, excuse me, the best one was,

18:05

was it the hamburger from IHOP? Yeah,

18:08

or denies. Yes. And

18:10

it was put out as far as

18:13

like Western States Best Burger. Remember, there

18:15

was the NASCAR Cafe that was actually

18:17

just an IHOP. Yes. They

18:19

just put a checker flag wrapper around it.

18:21

It's the same food. So now,

18:24

according to a report, they're now

18:27

using AI-generated images of the food

18:29

in the ghost

18:32

kitchen. So we have not

18:34

a real restaurant using

18:36

pictures that are not the real

18:38

foods to sell you food

18:40

on Grubhub online and DoorDash.

18:43

How is this not fraud? It is.

18:46

It's false advertising. But why are they getting away

18:48

with it? Why is DoorDash not have or Grubhub,

18:50

I'm not going to leave anybody out, or Uber

18:52

Eats, why don't they have a policy

18:54

that says any picture you post of the food you

18:56

are selling must be the food that you are selling?

18:59

Because they don't care. They

19:03

want to make as much money

19:05

as possible. It's fraud. It's

19:08

downright fraud. I even have a problem

19:10

with buying something from denies when you

19:12

think you're buying it from the ultimate

19:14

egg shop. But

19:19

I can research that. Do we have some of

19:21

the pictures? I think Maddie sent some of the

19:23

pictures down. Yeah, that's an AI-generated shrimp scampi. But

19:26

it looks good. Of course it does. This

19:28

is not the food you'll be getting from

19:31

pasta lovers. Also, you're not getting anything from

19:33

pasta lovers. It's from, well, the sauce is

19:35

in the middle of the burrito on that

19:37

one. They should have double-checked that one before

19:40

posting it on YouTube. What is

19:42

that? That's some sort of marinara

19:45

sauce, seafood and marinara sauce. The shrimp looks

19:47

pretty gross on that one. Yeah. They

19:50

don't care. They don't care what the

19:52

images look like. They just care that you blindly

19:55

buy it. Well,

19:57

I'll tell you what, they do have a great policy

19:59

about it. Which who? I

20:02

order really from either DoorDash or

20:04

Postmates. Okay. Which is now UberEats. And

20:08

I only order like, you know. Once

20:10

a day. Five, six times a week. That's

20:13

all. Barely uses the

20:15

app. Is that when you're missing something, you

20:18

just have to make a complaint. Like I'm

20:20

missing the fries or I didn't

20:22

get like four shrimp and I only got two

20:24

shrimp or whatever it may be. So now based

20:27

on this picture, could you complain that my sauce

20:29

wasn't embedded inside of my burrito? And now I

20:31

want my money back. Do you get it back?

20:34

Posthaste. Right there. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

20:36

You get your money back? Yes. Because

20:39

I ordered from UberEats within 40 seconds,

20:42

canceled the order and

20:44

they took 80% of

20:46

the money because the kitchen had already

20:48

started cooking it. Really? Yes.

20:52

Oh, did you complain? I did. Two

20:54

and a half hours to give a full refund.

20:57

Two and a half hours. Oh, wow. It was

20:59

awful. So what had happened was my kids wanted

21:01

pizza. There's this really good pizza place.

21:03

It's called Jets Pizza near my house. I don't

21:05

like chain pizza. I don't think it's very good.

21:08

I always shop at mom and pops. I go

21:10

to Jets and we order

21:12

it. I realize that it literally was

21:14

marked up 40% using

21:17

it through UberEats. So

21:19

I was like, oh, I'll just call and order it. Hit cancel. Called

21:23

the order into Jets. And then I got

21:25

a message from UberEats saying the kitchen had already started working.

21:28

40 seconds. If that. Is

21:31

when I canceled this order. The kitchen had already started working

21:33

and they were taking, they were only giving me a 20%

21:35

refund. You

21:37

just say you're missing two fries and you get your money back? I

21:39

do. Exactly. I

21:41

think because I order so much. Probably an offered

21:43

a preferred customer. And I have like, you know,

21:46

I probably have like a good five star rating

21:48

and you don't. No. I

21:50

probably don't because I, you know, I

21:52

canceled an order after a millisecond. Such

21:55

a bad person. Do you have a

21:57

rating on UberEats? I know you do on Uber. I'm

22:00

sure there's a rating. But it's not visible there. Like

22:02

on Uber you can go look. Yeah, I have a

22:04

five star rating on Uber. Of course you do. I

22:07

do. Of course you do. I bet you

22:09

I do too. Now let me tell you

22:11

my other secret. Go ahead. I order on Instacart all

22:13

the time too to get the groceries delivered. Right.

22:16

And it doesn't matter if I say I

22:20

want it not fast as time. What

22:23

are you sure? I'm

22:25

5.0. I'm probably like a 5.5 actually. Probably

22:27

a tip enough. Okay. But

22:30

I notice like with Instacart because I must have such

22:32

a great rating is that no matter

22:35

what I order whether it's like you know $20 worth or

22:37

$200 worth of groceries is that I will

22:42

get my groceries like within 45 minutes or an

22:44

hour. Even

22:46

if it says I were having trouble it's going

22:48

to be three hours or four hours or something

22:51

like that. So I'm accepting. You

22:53

accept it? Yes. Yeah.

22:56

So do I. I use the Fry's

22:58

app. Still I believe it's still Instacart but it's just

23:00

through the Fry's app. How much do you tip? It

23:05

doesn't matter how much stuff. Really?

23:08

Yeah. I don't know why I

23:10

decided to go with that number. I don't know why I didn't

23:12

do 10 or 9 but I tip $9.00. Oh

23:16

because it's the delivery charge. I just

23:18

matched the delivery charge. It's

23:20

$9.95. Wow. I tip a

23:22

lot more than that. How much do you tip? It

23:25

really depends. Do you do

23:27

it based on percentage? Yes. Unless it's

23:30

a lot of booze which is a

23:32

lot of the time. So you lower it if it's

23:34

booze? Yeah because you know a bottle of wine is

23:36

like you know 40-50 bucks. What

23:38

kind of wine are you drinking? It's

23:41

not Boots Farm. I

23:43

don't drink that wine. Rumbauer.

23:46

I like Rumbauer and ZD. Okay.

23:49

But I don't base it on percentage. I base

23:51

it on the amount that

23:54

the delivery charges. Yeah. I

23:57

just tipped on $9.00 and 9.00. Are the orders like correct? Do

24:00

they go the extra mile? Do they say,

24:02

oh, we're sorry, like this

24:05

grapefruit juice isn't available, but this, this, and

24:07

this is? Well, I've turned off substitutions because

24:10

the substitutions, what they think is

24:12

a substitution is beyond the pale

24:14

sometimes. Two percent milk was replaced

24:16

with almond milk as a substitution.

24:19

I don't even think that should be legal. So

24:22

I've turned off the substitution. So if it's not there, I

24:24

just don't get it. One time I wanted four chicken breasts.

24:27

The substitution was 10 chicken legs. So

24:30

in this person's math, two legs equals

24:32

one breast. Yeah, there

24:35

are issues with that. Yeah,

24:37

they get creative. There

24:39

are a lot of issues. And it makes me wonder

24:42

too, do they get paid on the amount of items

24:44

that they select? Because I would think it's just a

24:47

gig, right? You get X amount of dollars per

24:49

time you do shopping for someone. It doesn't depend

24:51

if it's four items or 54 items. But

24:54

if it's 10%, if you're getting a

24:56

McTip, the more items they can get in that car, the

24:58

better off that they are. $9.95. That's

25:00

what I tip. And I'm not changing. You

25:03

should just try it once. To see if I have

25:05

a different result? Yes. All right, I will. And I'll

25:07

report back. I'm not paying the difference. This is what

25:09

I'm going to do. And you will because I'll just

25:11

charge you back to the company. Any

25:16

will too. It needs to buy more

25:18

shoes, more ugly shoes. I'm going

25:20

to do this. I'm going to do because I've done $9.95.

25:22

I'm going to go above. I'm going to do a

25:25

$18 tip. Double. I'm

25:28

rounding up to 20. I'll do an $18 tip.

25:30

Then I'll go the other way. And

25:32

I'll cut it to a $5 tip and

25:34

see what the difference is in all three

25:37

tip ranges. Now, what's going to be in

25:39

the cart? You should have something that's pretty

25:41

hard to find, like 2% milk. Okay,

25:44

exactly. I'm just going

25:46

to do my normal weekly groceries, my normal order

25:49

that I get every single week of the staples.

25:51

Okay, I would put in the cart

25:54

only because I've been trying to find it at

25:56

Safeway for the last two times I've gone in.

26:00

for you to get it? No,

26:02

yes. See if they can find

26:04

Ezekiel bread. Oh my gosh Beth is

26:06

addicted to that. She just bought two loaves of

26:08

it. Oh it's fabulous. She went to the store

26:11

she got two loaves of Ezekiel bread and

26:13

one loaf of regular bread and it

26:15

was $25. Yes. What is

26:17

with this bread? It doesn't have

26:19

flour in it. So is it like healthier?

26:22

Yes and it's all sprouted. It's all

26:24

sprouts. Okay. So it's all fiber. Alright I'll see if I can

26:26

get you some Ezekiel bread. Good for your body. You know, you

26:28

see that good BM.

26:31

It's frozen right? Yes. This is kind of weird.

26:33

It's very weird. Alright I'll see if I can

26:36

get you some Ezekiel bread. You're saying put it

26:38

on there because that's a tough item to find

26:40

and there is no substitution. Correct.

26:42

I'll allow the substitutions to see if

26:44

they're like, oh here's their release. King's

26:47

Hawaiian bread. Close.

26:50

You get one with the top there. Alright

27:01

it's Kim Commando today and wait

27:03

I shouldn't say it like that. I should say, hey like

27:07

it's Kim Commando today and we went

27:09

so like you to like and shower. Oh

27:11

my gosh. I can see the viewers are

27:13

just climbing. I mean it's like so amazing

27:15

and you know because that would be like

27:18

a way for us to grow our audience.

27:20

You know on TikTok, the TikTokers are very

27:22

open about how much money they make and

27:25

about how their videos perform and

27:27

they're very open about the algorithm.

27:29

It's no different here. If you

27:31

like the post, if you share the post

27:33

and you comment on the post, it helps.

27:35

Yes. Because then Facebook or YouTube or wherever

27:37

it is goes, oh wow people like this.

27:39

Well some computer goes, people like this 1010.55

27:41

and they start pushing

27:44

it out to other people who've never

27:46

seen the podcast before and they give

27:48

a chance to get on board. So

27:50

make sure that you like and share

27:52

and comment. Yes. All three things. The

27:54

Commando Trifecta. That's it. Alright

27:57

so apparently that there is an entire read

28:00

it about songs that

28:02

people don't know where they came from. Okay,

28:05

that's cool. It's like the

28:07

story behind a song and

28:10

like everyone knows that it was the

28:12

first shared by a user by Carl92.

28:15

It appeared on YouTube and so if

28:17

somebody hears a song they'll put it

28:19

in this reddit and

28:21

then everybody else tries to comment like on

28:24

where this song has come from. Oh, songs?

28:26

You'd think it would be kind of easy

28:28

to track them down because we've got a

28:30

lot of like Shazam. You can Shazam something

28:32

and find out where it's from. Exactly. If

28:34

you can make out even three or four

28:36

words you can just search for the lyrics.

28:39

And you can hum a song in Google.

28:41

Yes. I've tried it. I have such

28:44

a bad voice. It didn't work. It

28:46

definitely checks out. So

28:48

the fact that reddit can't figure out what

28:50

a song is must be

28:52

a puzzler. Okay, so let's

28:55

listen to this song. Okay,

29:08

it's really bad quality. Well, yeah, it definitely sounds like

29:11

it's from the 80s. Definitely from

29:13

the 80s. But it sounds like it's like

29:15

from a VHS tape and it was happening in

29:17

the background of whatever someone was filming. Oh,

29:19

good call. That's what it sounds like to

29:21

me. Yeah, that was a good call. The

29:24

entire internet cannot figure out where this

29:26

song has come from. Really? Yes. The

29:29

internet's sluice are on this search and

29:32

they're saying like, you know, if somebody can figure

29:34

it out, who's gonna be the first one? And

29:36

there's a lot of speculation. Some

29:39

people think that it was a,

29:41

let's see, a demo from Italy,

29:43

a track from a Japanese car advertisement.

29:46

Okay. There's a

29:48

group also on reddit called Lost Wave.

29:51

And they've managed to hunt down a song that

29:53

the internet called Try to Smile Again. Then there's

29:57

another song identified as Bravely by

29:59

Beat Boy. They still haven't figured this one

30:01

out. No. Not yet.

30:03

Not yet. Can

30:07

we hear it

30:10

again? Everyone

30:16

knows it. Ulterior

30:21

motives. That's

30:23

what I heard. And everyone knows it

30:26

and I heard ulterior motives. That

30:29

should be enough to fit track down the song. Maybe

30:31

I need to sing it. Oh my gosh. Could

30:33

you? You

30:38

know, I told the story about me auditioning for

30:40

the Beach Boys. You auditioned for the Beach Boys?

30:42

I told you this, sorry. I don't know this

30:44

one. At the Santa Barbara

30:46

Yacht Club? I didn't tell you this? Mm-mm. Oh

30:49

my. This just happened over the summer

30:51

recently. That summer. Why are you

30:53

just tiptoeing around it and not telling us the

30:56

story? Okay. I

30:59

was at the Santa Barbara Yacht Club. I

31:01

know that sounds so pretentious. It's like how 80% of

31:04

your stories start, but go ahead.

31:06

And we were all just sitting

31:08

there and having a great time.

31:10

Sure. And you yelled over to

31:12

Buffy to get the attention of the pool boy. I

31:15

have another. We're a sack of booze.

31:19

And we were all just sitting in a circle and

31:21

this guy comes over to me and he's... And there's

31:24

probably like... I get us at the same. There's

31:26

probably like 10 to 15 people. Or just

31:29

talking. Men and women couples. Yes, men, women

31:31

couples. Okay. And

31:33

this guy comes over to me and he says, you know, I have to

31:35

tell you that I think

31:37

you have an amazing voice and

31:40

I don't know who this guy is. Okay.

31:43

And I said, oh no, I don't. He

31:45

should have been like, thank you very much. I

31:48

appreciate it. No, he listens to the show. Oh, okay.

31:51

He said, he goes, you know, he said, I listened

31:53

to the show and he said, it's so... He said,

31:55

it's like, he described it. He said, it's soothing. It's

31:58

like a melody. It feels...

32:00

like reassuring. He said you

32:02

just have these and the tones he said

32:04

the tones that are in your voice are

32:07

just amazing. The music producer he's going

32:09

pretty deep. Yes he was. Oh he

32:11

was. And Barry looks

32:14

and goes mm-hmm yeah but

32:16

she can't sing and

32:18

the guy said you

32:20

know what I've been

32:23

I'm with the Beach Boys. He

32:25

said I am a Beach Boy. He was

32:28

a Beach Boy named Bruce Johnson. Okay.

32:30

And he's been with the group since

32:32

1965. Still goes on tour and

32:35

because I and then still he explained who he

32:37

was. Right. And my friend Joe

32:39

she's like she's hitting me from behind like

32:41

yeah like this is legit. I mean

32:44

this is who this guy is. And

32:46

he says you know he said would

32:49

you sing a little bit for me? So

32:52

the guy who helped write pet sounds

32:55

is asking you right to sing

32:57

in front of him. Yes and he's been a member

32:59

playing of the Beach Boys to sing in the Beach

33:01

Boys since 1965. He's still

33:03

on tour right. And so now everybody's looking

33:05

at me. Are you gonna see now here's

33:07

a choice. Do you sing a song you're

33:10

comfortable with or do you go with

33:12

a Beach Boys song or do you

33:14

stand up and run out of the building

33:16

as fast as possible? Well you

33:18

know I'm very shy. You're very. Okay.

33:20

And I said now

33:24

I said you know Bruce I said you know

33:26

I'm really honored to meet you and and you

33:28

know obviously I know who the Beach Boys are.

33:30

And I said but you know I really can't

33:33

sing. And he said no

33:35

I really he said just just just sing or

33:37

sing just a few lines for me. He said

33:39

because he said I'm not

33:41

kidding. He says I've been listening to you for

33:43

so many years and I always have thought to

33:45

myself that if if

33:48

we could get her some

33:50

a producer that I bet

33:52

you that she could actually have

33:54

a career as a singer. And

33:57

I said you know Bruce that's really kind of

34:00

You bet I. I really don't.

34:02

See. "Myself as a singer, you know, as we're

34:04

unrealistic, I could do that", he said, "No, no,

34:06

yes, I it's I think you cats and as

34:08

well here's A. If. I if

34:11

I pass this audition. Mean,

34:13

if you guys the beach boys are

34:15

on tour cab can I just stop

34:18

it and maybe go on stage and

34:20

and single little bit and he said

34:22

yeah sure it'll sorry Elsa Okay Sussex

34:24

to now all these people are looking

34:26

at me. Know fresher.

34:28

Okay, so. I.

34:31

Did that? Yeah. Says

34:33

eyes all great singers do As an effect

34:35

said. Good.

34:38

Good good good bye brain

34:40

34:52

So I apologize or more the west.

34:56

Slopes Everybody starts laughing like they think

34:58

I'm doing this on purpose or yard

35:00

for the gag. And I bet.

35:03

I. Said term. And.

35:05

Embers to know? Come on, do it again. And

35:07

Berries I know you don't understand. The

35:10

have persisted As a nice I looked down on

35:12

my sense of would you say. and

35:15

when you go and tourist visa for said

35:17

he said he looked at me he said

35:19

it you you can't things. In

35:22

our of up from a professional it's official

35:24

at me and saying how many people's can

35:26

say that they failed. That's a great an

35:28

honor isn't with the Beach Boys of the

35:30

least you didn't are you were with the

35:32

Beach Boys song something? Be familiar with his

35:34

successor. Effect of said yeah it was

35:36

really bad either malaria and same time

35:38

I see him at the the club

35:41

I'm always like hey how you deal

35:43

and good as it secured by Bruce

35:45

and Z to listen to good vibrations

35:47

least maybe one time so that you'd

35:49

actually know the melody of the song

35:51

reducing it to him. My my thing

35:54

was I probably should have picked like

35:56

a Norah Jones on. You. Think

35:58

that would be more in your t. Yes,

36:00

like, come away with me.

36:03

Say hello away with me. Not the word. Ah,

36:07

come on, you're hurting me. Very cool. No,

36:10

you sound great. Alright,

36:20

it's Kim Commando today. Don't forget to

36:22

like, comment, and

36:25

share. Oh, you did that

36:27

more mature delivery. But

36:29

yes, no matter how she says it, like,

36:32

comment, and share on the post. You're

36:34

so vain. You

36:36

probably think this show is about you.

36:39

There's going to be so many clips. I'm going

36:42

to have them pull a replay of future shows.

36:45

Oh, man. That was like the

36:47

bluesy nightclub. Like you would be

36:49

laying on a piano singing that version of

36:51

You're So Vain. See, I

36:53

think I just picked the wrong song. Next time I see

36:55

Bruce, I'm going to tell him. I want another shot. I

36:59

would go with the third one, The Vain. It's been

37:01

your best attempt so far. Not good, but

37:03

still your best attempt so far. Alright.

37:07

I was doing, you know, show prep this morning.

37:09

Yes. And I

37:11

go on and I have this news aggregator that I

37:13

use, which I love. I use it for

37:15

everything, not just tech, for all media. It has all

37:18

different kinds of categories. And so I'm

37:20

scrolling through. One hour ago, this

37:22

story was posted. The headline, Biden

37:25

orders crackdown on selling Americans personal

37:27

data abroad. So I read the

37:29

story. They had to have an

37:32

executive order where countries that are

37:34

countries of concern. Like Russia, China,

37:36

North Korea. Correct. They're

37:39

going to not allow over

37:41

48,000 companies in America that collect Americans

37:43

data to sell them in bulk

37:45

to these countries. And I was like, well, that's

37:47

a good thing. Just a

37:49

good move on our behalf to keep

37:52

our personal information away from the Russians.

37:54

Right? Yes.

37:56

Six stories down. Posted

37:59

one hour. previous. US

38:02

government buying legally available consumer

38:04

data on US citizens. So

38:08

basically that story is about the US

38:10

government is buying up all the data

38:12

they can legally and giving it to

38:14

law enforcement and homeland security about us

38:17

Americans. So why is it bad

38:19

for Russia to have all this information about

38:21

us, but it's okay for the US government and

38:23

law enforcement to have all this information on

38:25

us? Maybe the Russians don't

38:27

speak English. Shouldn't it be bad in

38:29

both ways? Yes, but I mean but

38:31

you think really assigning some law that

38:34

says don't sell this to China and

38:36

Russia. So somebody in Russia is gonna

38:38

go oh I'm not

38:40

going to buy that anymore. Okay I

38:43

should go to I'm gonna go to

38:45

Minneapolis to buy. No you're right but

38:47

I mean if they get caught if

38:49

I can't first of all there's 48,000

38:51

companies collecting and selling data on US

38:53

citizens. That sounds a bit much US

38:57

companies. That's just US companies that are doing

38:59

this. Now a company in that description of

39:01

this would Apple be one of those? Would

39:03

an app company

39:05

that you know everybody they're all

39:08

considered under that umbrella. Yes and

39:10

you have like data brokers you know the people

39:12

search site but you're right anybody

39:15

who has an app and we have always

39:17

read the terms and conditions of every app.

39:19

Yeah I love to play Angry Birds but

39:21

I'm only on page 96 of

39:23

the terms and conditions. Exactly so yeah so

39:25

there's and if you think about it I

39:27

once interviewed a president of like I don't

39:30

know the Direct Marketing Association a couple of

39:32

years ago and I never forget this because

39:34

I asked him you know I once read

39:36

that the average American has like

39:38

28,000 data points about

39:41

them and I always thought that was interesting like

39:43

that about me some companies tracking 28,000 data

39:46

points right I mean like you know what

39:48

size shoes I wear and I like like

39:50

nice shoes and you like ugly shoes and

39:52

can't sing name drops

39:55

all the time all of these pieces

39:57

of information about a certain person. Corny

39:59

transpose. plant, you know. But

40:02

that would be something that they can market, right?

40:04

Right. And so I said, so you know 28,000

40:07

data points. So is

40:09

that true? And he said, absolutely not. Oh,

40:11

it's not. I said, why? And he said,

40:13

that number is infinite. I

40:16

said, infinite? He said, yes, because

40:19

every time you go online, every

40:21

time you move, there's

40:24

another data point that gets added. So

40:27

that they can sell. It just keeps

40:30

going on and on and on

40:32

and on.

40:35

So I listened to a podcast

40:38

from a monk recently. Okay. He

40:42

called it the air fryer. Just

40:51

eat it. But you laughed. I

40:54

kept laughing at the answer. Absurdity

40:56

of the situation. There's

40:58

no saying at all. Goodbye.
