Description
You aren't just counting your steps. Health tracker companies are selling your data, leading to higher insurance premiums, invasive ads, and more. Plus, TSA’s facial recognition is expanding, and a ‘lottery’ may decide seats for the Menendez brothers’ resentencing.

Hey, it's Kim Commander today.
00:00:04
Your daily podcast to keep you up to date with all things digital and beyond.
00:00:08
And I'd love to have you be a part of our podcast.
00:00:11
You can make an appointment to speak with me.
00:00:13
Just head over to comando.com and on the top right, there's a button that says email Kim.
00:00:17
They'll let out and that's it.
00:00:18
Once the last time you went to Chuck E.
00:00:22
Cheese.
00:00:22
- Proof, it's my son's 10.
00:00:25
So I'm gonna guess five years ago.
00:00:28
- Have you been missing it?
00:00:29
- No.
00:00:30
- No, no, no, no.
00:00:31
I mean, this is just personal opinion.
00:00:33
This has not an indictment of the company.
00:00:36
But I think the pizza is disgusting.
00:00:38
- It's awful.
00:00:39
- And it's so expensive.
00:00:42
The only thing I liked about Chuck E.
00:00:44
Cheese is they give you that invisible stamp.
00:00:46
- Yeah.
00:00:47
- And they wear it with your child so that, you know, your kids can't kidnap.
00:00:50
- Yeah, that's a good thing.
00:00:51
- That's pretty much it.
00:00:52
Everything else is a no.
00:00:53
- Well, what about Munch's Make Believe Band?
00:00:56
What do they still have that?
00:00:57
I thought they got rid of those guys.
00:00:59
That's the reason I'm bringing it up.
00:01:00
- Okay.
00:01:01
- The end of this year, they say that's it.
00:01:03
For every Chuck E.
00:01:04
Cheese, Munch's Make Believe Band is gone.
00:01:08
- We're talking about the animatronic robots that stand up there.
00:01:11
- They're so freaky looking.
00:01:12
- Yeah.
00:01:13
(laughing)
00:01:15
- Yeah.
00:01:16
- I think we have a video of it.
00:01:17
- What's the?
00:01:18
- There it is.
00:01:19
- Oh yeah.
00:01:19
- Ooh.
00:01:21
- Okay, get down.
00:01:25
Okay.
00:01:26
Now we're gonna have the video taken down for copyright issues.
00:01:28
- Oh, are we?
00:01:29
- Because of this hit song that we're playing from Munch's Band.
00:01:32
- I think the rats are terrifying.
00:01:33
- They're all, all animatronics.
00:01:35
Have you ever been to the Hall of Presidents?
00:01:37
- Yes.
00:01:38
- A Disneyland?
00:01:39
- Yes.
00:01:40
- That's terrifying.
00:01:40
- Yeah.
00:01:41
And I understand that they really have like, up the ante with AI as far as with the presidents and with Disney, like it's gonna be like, where you can have like a full conversation with the president.
00:01:50
- They're creepy.
00:01:51
- They are creepy.
00:01:52
- I don't wanna Abe Lincoln to tell me where to get the best churro in Disneyland.
00:01:56
- What did that be something?
00:01:57
(laughing)
00:01:59
- But you know, bands are interesting.
00:02:01
You know, I always wanted to be, I always wanted to be a singer in a band.
00:02:04
(laughing)
00:02:05
- Did you?
00:02:06
- Yes.
00:02:07
I did.
00:02:08
I always wanted to be a singer.
00:02:09
But as you know, I can't sing.
00:02:10
- Well, we all can sing.
00:02:12
You just can't sing well.
00:02:13
- No, I can't carry tone.
00:02:15
So, but I was going to name my band, 999 megabytes.
00:02:20
- Why would you name your band, 999 megabytes?
00:02:23
- So we could get one gig.
00:02:25
(laughing)
00:02:28
- Yeah, people love my jokes.
00:02:31
- So good.
00:02:31
- They stop me on the street and they say, - And they don't.
00:02:34
- How have you been so entertaining?
00:02:39
- No one stops me on the streets and no one asks for those jokes.
00:02:42
- No.
00:02:43
- Uh-oh.
00:02:43
- Well, you know what?
00:02:44
There are some people who actually appreciate my jokes.
00:02:46
- Who's that?
00:02:47
- I don't know.
00:02:48
- But it's gotta be.
00:02:49
- There's gotta be somebody else.
00:02:51
- There's massacres that are in all kinds of pain.
00:02:53
- You definitely enjoy listening to your jokes.
00:02:56
- Yes, because it's Kim Kovando today.
00:02:57
It's your front podcast about all things digital and we don't have to beg him to subscribe anywhere.
00:03:03
- You did it.
00:03:04
- Yeah.
00:03:04
- We hit 100,000 subscribers on the YouTube channel over the weekend and we say thank you.
00:03:12
Now, if you listen to the audio version, you don't only have the podcast, you still can go over and subscribe.
00:03:16
If you hit the subscribe button, when we drop new videos, when we go live, you get a notification, it's great.
00:03:21
But we hit 100,000.
00:03:22
We've been pushing so hard to last couple of weeks to get across that line and we did it, but still.
00:03:27
Drop a comment like the videos when you watch them, helps the algorithm, so we can keep building, so we can get to 200,000, but we're gonna shut up.
00:03:34
We're not gonna beg you.
00:03:35
- Yeah, we told them we were gonna give them a break.
00:03:36
- For a little bit.
00:03:37
- Just a little bit.
00:03:38
- Well, it's like 51, there are 51 million YouTube channels.
00:03:43
- That's all, I would against a lot more.
00:03:45
- You know, it really depends who you ask.
00:03:46
- Okay.
00:03:47
- Sometimes it's 134 million, sometimes it's 34 million, sometimes it's 75 million.
00:03:51
I mean, 'cause I was trying to figure out what that stat was, so I found the most reliable stat, and I don't know if this is reliable, but it was said that there are 51 million YouTube channels and 0.06% ever reach 100,000.
00:04:07
- So last time when you brought this up, someone had a party or a get together or something told you, it was 0.02.
00:04:12
- Yes.
00:04:13
- Okay, but now we're gonna lean on 0.06.
00:04:15
- Yes.
00:04:16
- It's still not a lot.
00:04:17
- No.
00:04:18
- No matter what it is.
00:04:18
- What do you have coming up?
00:04:20
- The men and their brothers, they are set to go to trial, they're handling the trial a little bit different.
00:04:26
- Lee.
00:04:27
- You have adverbs.
00:04:27
- Well, the sentence makes sense.
00:04:30
- Yes.
00:04:31
- A little bit different.
00:04:31
- Lee.
00:04:32
- A little bit different.
00:04:33
- No, you have to say differently.
00:04:34
- I didn't have to, you saw me do it.
00:04:35
I went through that entire sentence, not saying.
00:04:36
- It's an adverb.
00:04:37
- You know how I know that?
00:04:39
- Oh.
00:04:39
- Because when I'm in conversation with my husband, I would say like different, he'd be like, Lee.
00:04:45
- Different, or Lee.
00:04:46
- And do you hate it?
00:04:47
- Yes.
00:04:48
- So then why do you think I would not feel the same way when you do it to me?
00:04:50
- Because what he says to me is that you are a public communicator and I always want you to sound your best.
00:04:55
- Okay.
00:04:56
- So I was trying to help you, Mr.
00:04:58
Defensive.
00:04:59
- Well then I will do the story angrily.
00:05:01
(laughing)
00:05:04
- Well, we're gonna be given away the iPhone 16 Pro today.
00:05:08
- Today, it's over.
00:05:09
- Okay, so, but you can still go to win from Kim.
00:05:11
Win from Kim.com, because we're gonna be giving away a $500 Amazon gift card.
00:05:15
- Just in time for the holidays.
00:05:16
- Yes, perfect.
00:05:16
- Did you notice how that works?
00:05:17
- I did.
00:05:18
- Win from Kim.com.
00:05:20
All right, so here are some things that you need to know about.
00:05:24
Like for example, if you're using a health tracker, do you wear a health tracker?
00:05:29
Okay.
00:05:30
- Is that a health tracker?
00:05:31
- Yes.
00:05:32
- Okay.
00:05:33
- That you have to know that they're collecting all your data and guess what, they're selling it.
00:05:37
- Yeah, but I should have a lot of stuff.
00:05:39
So I'm sure since I shut it off, they're not collecting it behind the scenes and selling it.
00:05:43
No, I shut it off.
00:05:45
- Did you?
00:05:46
- Yeah, for sure.
00:05:47
- And then the options, before I even put it on, I turned off all those sliders.
00:05:51
Only do the heart rate and the steps.
00:05:53
And that's it, just those two.
00:05:55
- You think that they're really not gonna sell your data?
00:05:57
- Oh, I know they are.
00:05:58
- Absolutely.
00:05:59
- They're gonna be selling it to like, now insurance companies.
00:06:02
- That's not good.
00:06:04
- That's not good at all.
00:06:05
- Instead of just showing me an ad, that could affect real life stuff.
00:06:08
- Yes, yes, like, better get your butt going.
00:06:12
- Yeah, exactly, get in those steps.
00:06:14
- So what I was recommending is that maybe you just have to use like a different name.
00:06:19
- But it's all connected to your phone, which is then connected to all your accounts.
00:06:22
- You can't trick 'em, you don't even have to tell 'em your name.
00:06:26
- That's true.
00:06:27
- But maybe you could get a burner account, okay?
00:06:32
- Sounds like a lot of work that I won't be doing.
00:06:34
- And having the time too.
00:06:35
And because it's all in the terms and conditions, that you read.
00:06:39
- I'm sure.
00:06:40
- No, yeah.
00:06:41
- Okay, we all do.
00:06:42
- I got this thing three years ago.
00:06:43
I just finished the terms and conditions, put it on last week.
00:06:46
So what do you think about Elon Musk?
00:06:48
I'm actually starting to like him a little bit.
00:06:49
- What?
00:06:50
- Yes.
00:06:51
- You evolve people?
00:06:52
- Yes.
00:06:53
- I know.
00:06:54
- He's a smart guy, he's a great businessman, he's very influential.
00:06:57
He's annoying at some times.
00:06:59
- Yeah, he can be annoying.
00:07:00
- The way he handles his personal life, none of my business, but it's absurd.
00:07:04
- I don't know, how many kids, he's got like 12, 13 kids, something like that.
00:07:07
- So why are you asking what do I think of Elon Musk?
00:07:08
- Well, what do you think about him?
00:07:09
- I just told you everything I think about.
00:07:11
- Well, he's over on X.
00:07:13
- The reason why I bring this up is I actually found this very comical.
00:07:17
- Okay.
00:07:18
- Is that he has 205 million followers on X.
00:07:22
- Is that the most?
00:07:23
- I think it might be.
00:07:24
- Okay.
00:07:25
- And he's been talking about wasted taxpayer dollars in the bloated government.
00:07:31
- He's got very political.
00:07:32
- Very political, very political.
00:07:34
And so now of course, I think Trump is gonna be giving him an honest to goodness position.
00:07:39
- No, really?
00:07:40
- Yeah, and like the government, the Department of Government Waste or something like that.
00:07:44
And so Elon Musk is on X.
00:07:48
This is why I think it's so comical.
00:07:50
Calling out specific government programs that just totally waste money.
00:07:55
- Mm-hmm.
00:07:56
- But he's also calling out people.
00:07:59
And so like for example, he wrote on X about Ashley Thomas.
00:08:04
She is the director of climate diversification.
00:08:09
- Sure, we're gonna make sure the climate's diverse.
00:08:11
- We can't just have one climate all the time.
00:08:13
- Okay, she makes $172,000 a year.
00:08:17
- That's a good salary.
00:08:18
- As the director of climate diversification.
00:08:21
- So he wants her fired 'cause she's a waste of money?
00:08:23
- Well, he's just calling him out.
00:08:24
And then his followers are like responding to this with like memes and everything, but this what I like is about Ashley.
00:08:31
Somebody just wrote, sorry Ashley Thomas, the gravy train's over.
00:08:35
(laughing)
00:08:37
I mean, that's a hell of a way to get know that you're getting fired.
00:08:40
(laughing)
00:08:41
Someone on X tells you.
00:08:43
- Yes, exactly, exactly.
00:08:46
Are you gonna be traveling over the holidays at all?
00:08:47
- I am, I'm taking a couple trips.
00:08:49
- I'd be flying.
00:08:50
- I am.
00:08:50
- Okay.
00:08:51
And then when you go, do you have a TSA pre-check?
00:08:54
- No.
00:08:55
- Why not?
00:08:55
Everybody has TSA pre-check.
00:08:56
(laughing)
00:08:58
How come you don't have a TSA pre-check?
00:09:00
- I don't travel enough.
00:09:01
I fly twice a year, three times a year man.
00:09:03
- So you have to stay on that line with all those people?
00:09:05
- Oh no, a line.
00:09:07
I always fly early.
00:09:08
- Okay.
00:09:09
- Well, it's less crowded in the early mornings.
00:09:12
And I'm not diverse to standing in line.
00:09:14
I don't know nothing about TSA pre-check.
00:09:16
But now I saw the story this morning.
00:09:18
You're gonna tell me it all doesn't work.
00:09:19
And the government's trying to tell you how to opt out of it.
00:09:22
- How do you know all that?
00:09:25
(laughing)
00:09:25
How do you know?
00:09:27
- 'Cause I saw the story.
00:09:28
- Where?
00:09:29
On the internet, on Reddit.
00:09:31
I saw it on Reddit.
00:09:32
- Oh, I thought maybe you read it in the newsletter.
00:09:34
- Oh yeah, and then I saw it in the newsletter.
00:09:36
- Such a liar.
00:09:37
- I am.
00:09:38
- And I'm looking to subscribe to the newsletter.
00:09:39
- Well, I actually told everybody about this back.
00:09:42
And I looked it up, May of 2023.
00:09:45
- Okay.
00:09:46
- That when you go through TSA pre-check, or check rather, the TSA check.
00:09:50
It is that they say, you know, that you have to put your face in, and then they scan your boarding pass.
00:09:55
And then it says whether or not it's you.
00:09:57
You know, that's totally optional.
00:09:59
You don't have to give them your face if you don't want to.
00:10:02
- What can you use just in a standard form of identification?
00:10:04
- Yes.
00:10:05
- Okay.
00:10:06
- Okay.
00:10:06
- Just tell 'em, hey listen, this is what I wanna do.
00:10:07
Do you have pre-check?
00:10:09
- Of course, I do.
00:10:10
I have global entry.
00:10:11
I've got everything, anything that I could sign up for.
00:10:14
The only thing I didn't do is clear.
00:10:16
- Why didn't you do clear?
00:10:17
- I was gonna be, I was all ready to sign up for clear, and I was at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, and we had some extra time, and I said, you know, let's just sign up for clear while we're there, 'cause you know, they were pitching you right at the gate.
00:10:27
- Oh yeah, they'd sell you harder than-- - Exactly.
00:10:30
- Someone giving away samples at Costco.
00:10:32
- So I'm sitting there, and I give them my face, and I do all of everything, and then then the, I just took out the screen, and I'm like, "Mah!" (laughing)
00:10:40
It's just vaporized, and I'm like, "Okay."
00:10:43
- Where did all my data go, and the kids like, "I don't know if I've never seen that happen before."
00:10:47
- So it was just gone?
00:10:48
- Yeah, so meanwhile, I entered all my stuff in, and I said, "Well, how do I get my data back?"
00:10:52
And they're like, "Kids like, I don't know, I mean, "I just, it's a part-time job.
00:10:56
"I'm stealing bucks an hour."
00:10:58
- I don't know.
00:10:58
So, yeah, so TSA, it's always kind of fun, 'cause you gotta take off your shoes, maybe you or maybe not.
00:11:03
So if you have pre-check, you don't have to take off your shoes.
00:11:06
And you don't have to like, take all your crap out of your bag.
00:11:09
- Okay.
00:11:10
- But, I mean, there's always that water bottle.
00:11:12
I'm always carrying a water bottle through.
00:11:14
- But you're not going, well, there's a negative thing going on with it, with the face scan, right?
00:11:18
- Well, yeah, 'cause they don't know what they're doing with it.
00:11:20
- Right.
00:11:21
- They have no idea where the database is going.
00:11:22
- Are you giving it to the government?
00:11:23
- Of course you are.
00:11:25
I mean, you're giving everything to the government.
00:11:26
- That's true.
00:11:27
- I mean, so if you ever gotten held up a TSA pre-check, Barry gets held up all the time.
00:11:32
I don't have pre-check.
00:11:33
So I-- - I mean, no, our TSA check.
00:11:35
- Oh, no, not really.
00:11:36
One time I had a random bag search.
00:11:39
That was it.
00:11:40
And then they checked your hands to see if I had like, some kind of material on it.
00:11:44
And I tested positive for that material.
00:11:47
Like, bomb-making stuff.
00:11:48
- Did you?
00:11:49
- And so they had to take my bag all the way open.
00:11:51
And then they said it must have been a false positive and that was on my way.
00:11:55
- Well, Barry always gets nailed.
00:11:57
I mean, he does, I mean, he goes, 'cause he always has something left in his pocket.
00:12:00
- Well, that's his fault then.
00:12:01
- I know.
00:12:02
I know.
00:12:03
So I always like sail right through.
00:12:04
I'm like, ooh, here I am.
00:12:06
Here I am.
00:12:08
Except for the time that I got nailed to, I had a deck of cards.
00:12:13
And they were-- - Something wrong with the deck of cards.
00:12:16
- But they were fortune-telling cards.
00:12:17
And they thought I was a Taoist.
00:12:20
(laughing)
00:12:21
- That was the joke.
00:12:22
I should have noticed the joke.
00:12:24
When you were doing this with your hands.
00:12:25
(laughing)
00:12:26
- That was bad.
00:12:27
A Taoist, okay.
00:12:29
- Okay, one of the brothers, discovery.
00:12:31
They're coming up with a new way for us to buy things.
00:12:35
And so when you're watching a show on Max.
00:12:36
- Right.
00:12:37
- You know, they've been trying to do this for years.
00:12:39
But now I think they probably have it down.
00:12:41
And so when you're watching a show on Max, and like, so if like, there's like-- - Are you watching Penguin on Max?
00:12:45
- I could be, and they're all so good.
00:12:47
Certain like little things in there, like maybe like a chair, or maybe my jacket, or whatever it is.
00:12:52
And then a QR code is gonna come up.
00:12:54
- So in the middle of the show?
00:12:55
- Yes, so that this way you can take your phone, your scan it, and you can, bye bye bye.
00:13:01
- Whether I want, great joke.
00:13:03
Whether I want it or not, there's gonna be QR code just floating around the screen through an entire-- - You're gonna see it.
00:13:09
- You're gonna see it.
00:13:09
Like with your phone.
00:13:10
You may not necessarily see it, but you could see like an outline.
00:13:13
And then if you see the outline, and then you put your phone up, and then you can actually see the outline.
00:13:18
- Wow, we don't care down the fourth wall, and just ruin entertainment.
00:13:22
- I know, it's pretty tough.
00:13:24
- Just so I can buy a pair of shoes that I saw in Sex and the City from 1997.
00:13:30
- You know, I did buy earrings that I saw on Yellowstone.
00:13:34
Have you watched Yellowstone?
00:13:35
- I watched like three episodes, it was too sad.
00:13:37
- Why?
00:13:38
- The kid, I don't want to ruin it for anybody, but-- - I died.
00:13:41
- Yeah.
00:13:42
- Okay, well this is like the last season.
00:13:43
- I don't want to watch it.
00:13:45
- You have to start the first season.
00:13:46
- I did start the first season.
00:13:47
And like three episodes in, the kid drowned.
00:13:51
And it was so sad.
00:13:52
I was like, I don't want to watch sad TV.
00:13:54
I want to laugh.
00:13:56
- Oh, I thought you were talking about the new season.
00:13:57
- No, this was the first season.
00:13:59
- Oh, well, there's like seven, eight, 12 seasons.
00:14:01
(laughing)
00:14:03
And then so with this season, spoiler is that Kevin Costner dies.
00:14:08
- Right.
00:14:09
- And the first episode.
00:14:10
And so everybody's been like, oh God, the rings are gonna go down 'cause Kevin Costner's not here.
00:14:16
You know, he was really like the Dutton Ranch and everything.
00:14:19
And, but the rings are actually up.
00:14:22
'Cause people are enjoying the storyline, I'm sure.
00:14:26
- Yeah, I'm sure.
00:14:26
- But I'm sure with him dead, he's a millionaire.
00:14:28
There's a fight for all his money and all that.
00:14:30
I'm just guessing.
00:14:31
- Yeah, and you know, and it's like, and then like, this person's getting knocked off and they're fighting for power.
00:14:36
- Yeah, they're fighting for power.
00:14:37
- So anyway, but I was actually talking about how I bought Beth Dutton's earrings that you can go on like now, like a Yellowstone website.
00:14:44
And you can buy like hats and shirts and all kinds of stuff.
00:14:47
- And they sold the earrings on there?
00:14:49
- Yes.
00:14:50
- How much were they?
00:14:50
- It was like 200 bucks.
00:14:52
- Oh, that's pretty pricey for earrings.
00:14:55
- Really?
00:14:56
You don't buy a lot of earrings, do you?
00:14:58
- Don't, I don't think what it's gonna do with God's.
00:15:01
- I mean, okay, you can get cheap earrings.
00:15:03
- Right.
00:15:04
- Then I give you all kinds of-- - That's where I want to land.
00:15:06
- Okay, but all kinds of like infections in your ears because it's like cheap metal.
00:15:10
- Teemo, I buy my earrings from Teemo.
00:15:12
- Oh!
00:15:13
(laughing)
00:15:15
- Your ear's gonna fall off because it's like some radioactive material in there.
00:15:19
But, you know what, makes a great holiday gift.
00:15:22
- For sure.
00:15:22
(upbeat music)
00:15:25
- I love giving gifts to my friends and family that they normally wouldn't get for themselves.
00:15:30
For quality gifts at an affordable price, my go-to is Quince.
00:15:34
It's that little bit of luxury.
00:15:35
They don't know they're missing.
00:15:37
Quince lets you treat your loved ones to everyday luxury at an affordable price.
00:15:41
My favorite find that I will be living in this winter season are the flow knit, wide-length pants and matching hoodie.
00:15:48
All Quince items are priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands.
00:15:53
This is done by partnering directly with top factories and cutting out the cost of the middleman, passing those savings onto you.
00:16:00
Quince is definitely on the nice list.
00:16:02
They only work with factories that use safe, ethical and responsible manufacturing practices.
00:16:07
Give the gift of luxury this holiday season without the luxury price.

- It's Kim Commando today.
00:16:28
This is the podcast.
00:16:29
Now, if you're looking for the Kim Commando show, that's the big show.
00:16:31
The big three hour weekend show that's on over, I don't know, 912,000 stations.
00:16:38
- That's a lot.
00:16:39
- No, I think, you know, seriously, I think the number, Tracy actually did the number.
00:16:42
It's like 420 radio stations.
00:16:45
And then by the time you go like HD1, HD2, you know, the streaming, it's like close to 700.
00:16:50
- It's done.
00:16:51
- Yeah, how many stations are you on?
00:16:53
- One, well, we're counting HD1 and HD2s.
00:16:56
- Okay, so you're on three?
00:16:57
- Not just still on one.
00:16:59
(laughing)
00:17:00
- But if you're looking for the show, wherever you get your podcast, just search for Kim Commando show or just search for Commando with a K.
00:17:07
And yes, I do know what going Commando means.
00:17:09
I got that in my email.
00:17:10
"You okay, you okay, you okay, man?"
00:17:12
I'm like, "Oh my God."
00:17:13
I didn't hear that since I was like 12, okay?
00:17:15
- If you didn't know, imagine how shocked you would be or how surprised he'd be that you didn't know, that's what that means.
00:17:22
- Oh my God, it means I don't wear underwear.
00:17:24
- So risque.
00:17:26
- Eric and Lyle Menendez.
00:17:29
- Yes.
00:17:30
- Do you remember this from the '90s?
00:17:31
- As a matter of fact, I was in Beverly Hills.
00:17:34
- Okay.
00:17:35
- About a month ago.
00:17:37
And Anne's like, "Here, I gotta show you this."
00:17:39
And so we went down the street where the murder happened.
00:17:42
And it's like a shrine.
00:17:45
- Really?
00:17:46
- I mean, outside of the house, people are like, taking their pictures in front of the house and the people are weird.
00:17:50
- And the house is under construction.
00:17:52
Like they're doing a whole remote.
00:17:53
But then there's like, people had candles all around and like the Hollywood tour bus was going by.
00:17:59
And so you know what I'd love to do whenever the Hollywood tour bus goes by?
00:18:01
It was like, you go like this, you go.
00:18:03
(laughing)
00:18:05
- I like you're important to be covering your face.
00:18:07
- Yeah, and then when you do that, it's like everybody in the bus goes like, "Oh, I think that's so and so."
00:18:11
- That was definitely myself, I forgot.
00:18:14
But in my way, that was before, she got all that black plastic surgery.
00:18:18
- So there's been a bunch of stuff online about the men and his brothers, including the Netflix documentary.
00:18:23
- It's big.
00:18:24
- That I tried to watch it, I couldn't get into it.
00:18:26
- No, okay, I haven't tried it yet.
00:18:27
Maybe I will.
00:18:28
Christmas break, maybe I'll have some time.
00:18:31
And I'm not a murderino or, you know, one of those real crime people.
00:18:36
'Cause it's real crime.
00:18:37
I mean, the parents are dead.
00:18:39
We, if you don't know what happened, but 27 years ago, Lyle and Ericman ended a shot and killed their mother and father.
00:18:45
And they inherited a ton of money, like $14 million, which is a lot at that time.
00:18:50
And they did a bunch of it.
00:18:51
- A lot today.
00:18:52
- Extravagant spending, which made people start looking into whether or not they were the ones guilty of the murder.
00:19:00
And they went to trial.
00:19:02
And they said their defense was that it was self-defense, that they did kill them.
00:19:05
They shot both of their parents.
00:19:07
But then it was self-defense because the father had been abusing one of them for ever.
00:19:13
- Yeah, for a long time.
00:19:14
- And then another new about it didn't do anything.
00:19:16
- Correct.
00:19:17
And the first trial, I guess, was a hung jury.
00:19:19
And then they had a second trial and they were actually sent to prison for life.
00:19:24
Well, they're returning to court because of this Netflix documentary, which is uncovered two new pieces of evidence.
00:19:31
One of which was a letter, eight months prior to the murders, where Lyle talked about all the abuse from his father in a letter to his cousin.
00:19:44
- Okay.
00:19:45
- So the whole thing is everyone believes they made up this story to get off of prison and out of murder.
00:19:51
But if he did it eight months prior, he's either an evil genius setting himself up for an alibi or this was really going on.
00:19:58
And then another person signed it written out for David, saying that at their house, the father had also abused him and he was a member of the band Menudo.
00:20:08
- Oh my gosh, I didn't know that.
00:20:10
- Yeah.
00:20:11
- So that's the other two pieces of evidence that are bringing Broadforth in court to try and get the charges reduced from murder to manslaughter, which means 27 years times served that they would get out.
00:20:23
- Wow, okay.
00:20:24
- And people are clamoring to go see this trial because of all the attention it's gotten from Netflix and on social media.
00:20:31
- They're like stars.
00:20:32
- They are again.
00:20:34
I mean, they were stars before in the 90s and they're stars again.
00:20:37
And there's only going to be 16 seats available to open to the public.
00:20:43
And so they are having a lottery to determine who will be able to attend this trial.
00:20:48
- How do they do in a lottery?
00:20:49
- Pending out just tickets and then calling out numbers and those people will be allowed in, right?
00:20:54
But the men, they're not even going to be there.
00:20:56
- Yeah, but this way, you know what?
00:20:58
- They're on WebEx.
00:20:59
- Yeah, but you know, people are going to be like, oh, you know, I was there and this is what happened and then they're going to write books about it and they're going to have their own podcasts about what it was like to be on the jury.
00:21:09
I mean.
00:21:10
- I guess it's a hawk to a girl can make turn anything into fame.
00:21:14
- I still don't understand the hawk to a girl at all.
00:21:17
- No one does.
00:21:18
- Yeah, I think she just start a dating service or something like that.
00:21:22
- She's doing anything she can for money because then I don't blame her.
00:21:25
Do it, go while you're hot because in six months from now, no one-- - You've been done.
00:21:29
- No, actually total sidebar.
00:21:32
- Yes, I have a 10-year-old.
00:21:34
- Yes.
00:21:35
- My 10-year-old was in the kitchen with me.
00:21:38
We did something, we were cooking, we did something good and he says hawk to a spit on that bang.
00:21:46
What the actual heck do I say?
00:21:49
- What did you say?
00:21:51
- I said, you can't say that.
00:21:52
He said, what, everybody says it.
00:21:54
Everybody says hawk to a, what are you talking about?
00:21:56
And I said, that's an adult phrase.
00:21:58
No, it's not, it's a meme.
00:22:00
Stupid memes, they just lean on it 'cause it's a meme.
00:22:03
So then I have two choices.
00:22:05
I let him continue to say it 'cause everybody else is saying it.
00:22:08
- Or be, and it should become a slang word.
00:22:10
- Or be, I don't let him say it, but I have to give him a reason why he can't say it.
00:22:15
- So what did you decide, Father of the Year?
00:22:17
- I told him what it was.
00:22:18
- Good, for you, I would have done that too.
00:22:20
- I said, listen, this is a term made up by your mother so go talk to her and she'll tell you why he can't say it.
00:22:27
No, I explained it to him.
00:22:28
I said it was sexual in nature and it started as an adult, you know, as a meme, but the true meaning of it and I wouldn't be comfortable saying it in public.
00:22:37
So I said, you can make your choice if your friends are saying it, but I wouldn't.
00:22:40
Am I such a rule, Father of the Year?
00:22:41
I know which way he would go.
00:22:42
- God.
00:22:43
- I didn't get too graphic.
00:22:44
I just said it was sexual in nature.
00:22:47
But a 10-year-old just run around the house, hawk to a spit on that thing.
00:22:50
- Oh, God.
00:22:51
- That's awful.
00:22:52
- No.
00:22:53
- It's awful.
00:22:55
But we'll know the trial is today and we might have a decision.
00:23:00
There's a new prosecutor that's handling it now.
00:23:04
The old prosecutor was like ready to let him go.
00:23:07
- This one's gone, huh?
00:23:08
- Yeah, he says he's gonna decide and look into it, but this is huge on social media.
00:23:12
- Well, so when Ian and I were driving in front of the house, you know, had all these-- - How recently was this?
00:23:18
- Like about a month ago.
00:23:19
- Okay, so like this is all in the hype but the Netflix is going on.
00:23:22
- Oh yeah.
00:23:23
- I mean, and it was, I mean, people were like rating in line to have their photo take it or if by somebody else or take it selfie in front of the house.
00:23:31
And so Ian's like, here, let me show you how we can see the house.
00:23:36
So he drove around the block.
00:23:38
And so in case you ever want to see the house, is that there's the alley right behind the house.
00:23:44
And so we drove behind in the alley, like where the garbage trucks go.
00:23:49
And then when you're there, you can see like the whole house and you see where Eric or Lyle their bedroom was and all this other stuff.
00:23:56
So just a little tourist that you can go.
00:23:57
- There you go.
00:23:58
- If you're a tip from Kim Cmando.
00:24:01
- I know, but again, if you see me, just not gonna let you take my-- - Just too famous.

All right, so this is, I love answering questions.
00:25:20
You know that.
00:25:21
- You have asking questions too.
00:25:23
- I do.
00:25:23
The podcast always starts with the strangest questions.
00:25:26
Like, taking baths.
00:25:27
I was scrolling through Facebook and our show popped up and the first thing you say is, do I take in baths?
00:25:33
(laughing)
00:25:35
- Well, would you rather, well, here's the things that I hate when people start their show nowadays.
00:25:39
- All right, it's Kim Commandor's show.
00:25:40
- Oh yeah.
00:25:41
- And I'm Kim Commandor.
00:25:42
And today on the Kim Commandor's show and Kim Commandor, and it's like, yeah, you wait a whole 90 seconds in to do all that.
00:25:48
- Oh yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
00:25:50
So, do you like taking baths, okay?
00:25:52
(laughing)
00:25:53
And so people drop me their questions all the time.
00:25:57
And I read every single question.
00:25:58
I know people find that hard to believe, I know.
00:26:01
But if you go to Commandor.com, there's a link that says ask Kim.
00:26:04
And I know you wanna leave me like DMs and comments all over social and so on.
00:26:08
But if you really want me to read your question, the best place to do is to go to the website and hit that link that says ask Kim.
00:26:15
Now, we've also been asking people to send us their audio question, 'cause the quality, the audio recording is on the iPhone.
00:26:22
- Phenomenal.
00:26:23
- Phenomenal.
00:26:24
- I don't know how it is on that crappy Samsung app.
00:26:25
- I'm sure it's the same, it's probably not.
00:26:28
So, if you wanna send us your audio question, meaning like you just send us like, I like when you send a voicemail.
00:26:33
- Yeah, like leave it a voicemail.
00:26:35
- Is that you can just record that with your phone and then send it to podcast@commandor.com.
00:26:40
Now, this doesn't mean like you type me out a whole dissertation, 'cause suddenly you got an email.
00:26:44
- No, okay, you just want the audio files.
00:26:48
We just want the audio files.
00:26:49
So, here's one that we got the other day.
00:26:50
- Okay.
00:26:51
- Quick question for you.
00:26:52
Me and my friend are hosting a show and we're averaging about 280 downloads per episode and we're about to hit 100,000 downloads.
00:27:03
So, I'm curious from your experience.
00:27:07
If you can share any tips, comments or suggestions for getting our accessibility focus podcast into the ears of more individuals who we can help.
00:27:17
- Nice voice, isn't he a nice voice?
00:27:19
- Sounds like I could be friends with him.
00:27:22
He's doing a podcast.
00:27:23
- Yes.
00:27:24
- And it's accessibility focused?
00:27:25
- Yeah, I'm not really sure there's a big audience for that.
00:27:27
- I mean, you talk about narrow casting.
00:27:30
- Yeah.
00:27:31
- That's a very, very, very, very, very small piece of life.
00:27:33
- But he has 100,000 downloads, but only 250 downloads per episode.
00:27:37
Ooh, that's not good.
00:27:38
- That's a lot.
00:27:39
- That's a lot of content.
00:27:41
I can't do the math that fast in my head.
00:27:44
- Well, every thousand would be four shows.
00:27:47
So, 10,000 would be 40 shows.
00:27:49
So, 400 episodes.
00:27:51
- That's a lot.
00:27:52
- And you're at 100,000 downloads.
00:27:54
- Yeah, that's not good.
00:27:56
- No.
00:27:57
Unless it's only like a two minute podcast, like a quick tip or something, that's a lot to work with, not a lot of return.
00:28:05
But that's what he's asking the question, right?
00:28:06
How does all that hard work turn into something that he can actually use?
00:28:12
- He needs to open up by asking a question.
00:28:14
(laughing)
00:28:16
- Well, obviously you have to have social media accounts connected to the podcast.
00:28:19
And you have to use the podcast on social media.
00:28:22
So, people can go, "Oh, wow, that was interesting."
00:28:25
- Get a little clip.
00:28:26
- Yeah.
00:28:27
- And then that will lead them to your podcast.
00:28:30
- Go on other people's podcasts.
00:28:32
And then have them on your podcast.
00:28:34
And it's all about marketing, really.
00:28:37
Meaning, once you can get the marketing machine going, which, you know, we're still working on.
00:28:41
- Yeah.
00:28:42
- I mean, 'cause it's hard.
00:28:43
There are so many podcasts out there.
00:28:45
- No, have you ever spent any money marketing Kim Commando today?
00:28:49
- No.
00:28:50
- You haven't spent one dollar.
00:28:51
No Facebook ads, no pushing videos on social media.
00:28:54
- No, we have push videos.
00:28:55
- Okay.
00:28:56
- But we're gonna go through a Metamorphist.
00:28:58
Just, I'm working on it right now, which I've talked to you a little bit about.
00:29:01
- Is this about your transition?
00:29:03
That people always point out on the internet?
00:29:06
- The what?
00:29:07
- From a man to a woman.
00:29:08
Is this where you're talking about the Metamorphosis?
00:29:10
- Yeah, but I was holding that.
00:29:13
I wasn't ready to talk about where my boobies went.
00:29:17
- There's a comment on the last video that we posted and someone just put, "That's a man."
00:29:22
- Oh my god.
00:29:23
- Did they really, oh my gosh.
00:29:25
- I'm so hard.
00:29:26
- Sorry to meet a divergent.
00:29:30
- I am not a man.
00:29:32
- It's just so funny.
00:29:34
- I think I should show up.
00:29:35
I'll end up a key day one day just to prove it.
00:29:37
- Full day, get episodes.
00:29:39
- This is it, honey.
00:29:40
This is what you see is what you get.
00:29:42
- Okay, Metamorphosis.
00:29:44
I'm bringing you back on track.
00:29:45
- Yes, thank you.
00:29:46
I was like, "I got a tangent."
00:29:48
"I still can't believe somebody thinks I'm a guy."
00:29:50
Okay, which I, you know what?
00:29:51
Now, you know what I did.
00:29:52
The alarm went off on the house.
00:29:54
And I did have to call the alarm company Sunday morning.
00:29:57
And I'm like, you know, "Hi, the alarm went off and gave me the address."
00:30:03
And they're like, "Oh, okay, Barry."
00:30:06
And I said, I said, and they said, "What's the secret?"
00:30:09
And I had like a full conversation with, and they thought I was Barry.
00:30:12
- And you don't even correct him?
00:30:13
- No, it's the same worth it.
00:30:14
- Yeah.
00:30:15
- No, it's not Barry.
00:30:16
It's okay.
00:30:17
- This is keep.
00:30:17
- I'm on 4,000 radio shows.
00:30:21
- Then I am not Barry out.
00:30:23
All right, so, but anyway, so with, we're gonna be changing the podcast just a little bit.
00:30:28
We're gonna make it, but I think we're, I'm not sure when we're gonna do it.
00:30:32
- Okay.
00:30:33
- I think there's too much confusion between Kim Commando Show and Kim Commando today.
00:30:36
- Well, it's only one word difference.
00:30:37
- I know, so we're gonna be-- - And in the background, it says, "Kim Commando Show."
00:30:41
- Which we're gonna do.
00:30:42
- Not today.
00:30:43
- I know, we're just, we're, we're like so confusing to everybody, including ourselves.
00:30:48
- Right, okay.
00:30:50
- But back to our gentlemen, so social media, getting the word out there more within the accessibility community, maybe taking some ads out or doing some blog posts on accessibility websites to talk about it.
00:31:05
- But you said going on to people's podcasts also, trying to find media outlets that would use you as an expert.
00:31:11
- For sure.
00:31:12
- It's a good one.
00:31:13
- You know, the Today Show, or even locally, you can look at local radio stations and newspapers where they would say Dan Johnson, host of the Accessibility Action Network podcast, or whatever.
00:31:23
- And then they will seek you out.
00:31:25
Okay, moving on, this is from Miss Bailey in Illinois.
00:31:30
- Okay.
00:31:31
- Relatively, relative to your story on Teslas, I am sure a lot of accidents are due to the autopilot feature.
00:31:38
But many more may be due to the type of person who generally buys a Tesla.
00:31:44
A bit aggressive and self-absorbed, I would say.
00:31:47
(laughing)
00:31:48
- Bailey is very, how would you do it?
00:31:51
- What do you think, Miss Bailey?
00:31:53
- Do you think it has to do with the, there's a story I sent you this morning about the Cybertruck?
00:31:59
- Oh, yeah, that's interesting.
00:32:00
- There was a Cybertruck Facebook group.
00:32:03
This kind of answers is connected to this question.
00:32:06
There was a Cybertruck Facebook group where this guy, who's a dentist, went on there and he was kind of lamenting of why he purchased a Cybertruck.
00:32:15
And his kids had moved away and they wanted nothing to do with him and his friends were too busy to spend time with them.
00:32:20
And he was lonely and he was sad and depressed.
00:32:25
And he bought a Cybertruck to get attention.
00:32:29
Because he wanted people to look at him and say that is the ugliest thing I've ever seen on there.
00:32:34
- Or find him interesting, strike up a conversation.
00:32:38
And then what happened on this Facebook page is all the other Cybertruck users and owners jumped on there and like, damn, skip me.
00:32:45
You're right.
00:32:46
That's why we did it.
00:32:47
(laughing)
00:32:48
So in toll, there was a hundred or so, people that agreed with them and this was only a group of Cybertruck owners.
00:32:56
And they were all agreeing with them.
00:32:57
They just did it for-- - They were lonely.
00:32:59
- For attention.
00:33:00
- Right, the social status side of it, not the vehicle itself.
00:33:04
So maybe Bailey's right.
00:33:05
- Bailey might, Miss Bailey might be right.
00:33:07
All right, this is from Dan in Austin, Texas.
00:33:10
Last week I was offered two jobs and they were both fraudulent.
00:33:15
One sent a digital check with a non-existent routing number.
00:33:17
One of me did a positive and sent them a picture of my deposit slip, which wouldn't work anyway because a digital check could only be deposited online.
00:33:25
The other was impersonating a real employee for a real firm.
00:33:28
I have many more emails about setting up interviews that I haven't explored.
00:33:32
I don't know who to trust, unless I go to an actual job site with a business I know.
00:33:37
How do I get around it?
00:33:38
Well, that's a tough one.
00:33:39
- How do you get around it?
00:33:41
- Well, is to go to the official site, look at the career section.
00:33:49
See if it's legit.
00:33:50
- If it matches up to the listing, that's you're finding on a job seeking platform.
00:33:55
- But it may not, that may not necessarily be true.
00:33:57
Because I guess it was probably, I don't know, we had an audio producer opening maybe a year or so ago and we put that up on our website.
00:34:07
It ended up, I think, on indeed.com as well, but whoever posted it on indeed was a scammer.
00:34:14
And they impersonated us.
00:34:15
And then we were getting people like Contains, "Why do I need to buy a $1,500 laptop for this?"
00:34:20
- Wow.
00:34:21
- Yes.
00:34:22
- So I think you only can apply through the official website, or if you do see it online, say it linked in or indeed or something like that, just make sure that where it's going to,
00:34:35
where you're sending your resume, is actually like a legit place.
00:34:39
- Because you can't reach out to the company because nobody's got someone sent by the phone anymore.
00:34:43
There's no receptionist to say, "Yeah, we're looking for a typist."
00:34:46
That doesn't exist.
00:34:48
That's why it's open for scam.
00:34:50
Maria in West Milford, New Jersey, right?
00:34:54
I wanted to thank you for the incredible content that you offer.
00:35:01
I signed up after hearing your segment on 770WABC's "NewsHour" with "No I'm Late" in.
00:35:06
And after listening a few times, I was sold.
00:35:10
As someone balancing dual professions, launching a bookkeeping firm, your newsletter has been invaluable resource along with your show.
00:35:17
It helps me save form.
00:35:18
I was so inspired by your content that I posted a snippet and shared it on my LinkedIn.
00:35:25
Oh, isn't that nice?
00:35:27
- There's no question?
00:35:28
- No.
00:35:29
- Of all the letters you get and you read every single one, you just picked off the one that struck you?
00:35:34
- No, I just thought it was nice of her too.
00:35:37
I wanted to say thank you.
00:35:38
- Oh, okay.
00:35:39
- Because she posted, "Cut your so mean today."
00:35:42
Because she posted a content on LinkedIn, so that helps more people find out about us.
00:35:49
- Right.
00:35:50
- She said show.
00:35:52
She said nothing about today.
00:35:53
It doesn't faze me at all.
00:35:55
- Keep up the amazing work.
00:35:57
And you've got a fan in me.
00:35:58
- Any more compliments you have in there?
00:36:01
- Christy in Austin, Texas.
00:36:02
Kim, what's the most accurate weather app?
00:36:04
- Oh gosh, that's a good question.
00:36:05
I should use the one that's pre-built on my phone.
00:36:08
- The Weather Channel.
00:36:09
- Okay.
00:36:10
- Accu-weather.
00:36:10
- What happened to Weather Underground?
00:36:12
- Weather Underground is number three.
00:36:13
- Okay.
00:36:14
- I mean, so if you're looking for accurate weather, especially as you're traveling around the holidays, the Weather Channel, Accu-weather or Weather Bug.
00:36:21
But if you are a true weather nerd, my husband is a weather nerd, okay?
00:36:28
Is that he's got, I don't know how many weather apps.
00:36:31
It's like, he's got Accu-weather, the Weather Channel.
00:36:35
He's got NOAAs weather app, but he actually has my radar.
00:36:41
And so it's like, so now we know everything is going on.
00:36:44
Then we also have marine weather apps.
00:36:46
We have gotten a lot of weather apps.
00:36:47
- We listen Phoenix aerosol.
00:36:49
- Hot and sunny.
00:36:51
- 360 days of the year, the weather's exactly the same, and then there's four days where there's a change.
00:36:57
He has all this invested in following the weather here.
00:37:02
- Well, this and in Santa Barbara.
00:37:04
- Oh, oh.
00:37:05
- When we go out of the boat.
00:37:06
- That's that bar.
00:37:07
- It's not that hoidy-toidy.
00:37:11
But when you say it, it sounds like it is.
00:37:14
- When you say Santa Fe doesn't sound hoidy-toidy.
00:37:18
- When you say Santa Cruz, that's fine.
00:37:20
- That's a bar, it's a whole different animal.
00:37:24
- You know, I made fun of the guy formerly known as Prince Harry and Megan Markle and newsletter recently.
00:37:34
- Your neighbors?
00:37:35
- 'Cause they have, they have their new documentary coming out on Netflix.
00:37:39
- Okay.
00:37:40
- It's about the U.S.
00:37:42
Polo Association.
00:37:43
- Really?
00:37:44
- Yeah, so I wrote about this that, you know, for the couple that doesn't, that wants their privacy.
00:37:50
- Right.
00:37:50
- Okay.
00:37:51
- They were, they're going on interview.
00:37:54
- Well, we gotta make money.
00:37:55
- I know this.
00:37:56
Yeah, they do, they need money.
00:37:57
- They lost that Spotify deal.
00:37:59
They gotta make money somehow.
00:38:00
- They gotta call their a grifter.
00:38:01
Call them both grifters.
00:38:03
(laughing)
00:38:04
It was so hard for them to do it.
00:38:06
What do they do?
00:38:06
One podcast a year and a half.
00:38:07
- That accessibility podcast, we had early in this segment.
00:38:10
- And more listeners than the Megan Markle podcast.
00:38:14
- Well, I had some woman in Wyoming's, just write me this whole dissertation.
00:38:17
I didn't, I should have read it, about how, how they are such good people.
00:38:22
- Oh, yeah, back off, Kim.
00:38:24
- That they, you know, they are helping everybody, everybody, but back to the weather apps.
00:38:28
And so, you have, you have the one in your phone.
00:38:31
The weather channel, AccuWeather, weather underground.
00:38:35
You have carrot weather, which I don't like carrot weather.
00:38:37
- So don't recommend it.
00:38:38
- Don't even bring it up.
00:38:39
- Well, the reason why I don't like it is because it'd be like, today it's going to be hot jerk face.
00:38:45
I mean, it gives you like attitude.
00:38:47
- Okay.
00:38:48
- So they're just copying the weather on my phone already and putting an insult behind it.
00:38:52
- And yeah, a little bit of an attitude on here.
00:38:54
So anyway, you can try them all because, you know, there's no raining.
00:38:57
- Oh, she rowing champion.
00:39:00
- She rowing down.
00:39:02
- No raining champion in the hands again.
00:39:05
(laughing)
00:39:06
These joke ants.
00:39:08
(laughing)
00:39:10

Jazzy hands, come on, Jazzy hands.
00:39:12

00:39:13
There you go.
00:39:14
Ah.
00:39:15

00:40:21
It's a great podcast about everything digital.
00:40:23
We are gonna be changing it.
00:40:24
If there are certain segments that you like, say more of me in certain segments that you don't like, that would be him.
00:40:30
You can always just drop me a note through the website.
00:40:34
That's commando.com.
00:40:35
And then there's a link at the top.
00:40:37
This is scam.
00:40:38
But I know where the direction where we're going.
00:40:41
And I think it's gonna be really amazing.
00:40:43
- Oh good.
00:40:43
- But I just don't want to spoil it.
00:40:45
- All right, let me know when you figured it all out.
00:40:47
Just send me any email or something.
00:40:48
- Hey, Andrew, real quick.
00:40:51
- Real quick, you're fired.
00:40:53
XCEO of Google.
00:40:57
Actually, no, I'm gonna start it.
00:40:58
I'm gonna do this like you would do it.
00:40:59
- Okay.
00:41:00
- Would you consider yourself a normal person?
00:41:03
- No.
00:41:05
- No?
00:41:06
- No, I'm not normal.
00:41:07
- Because the XCEO of Google says, normal people are not ready for AI.
00:41:12
And that we have to face it.
00:41:13
And he was talking to a group of Princeton students.
00:41:16
Princeton students.
00:41:17
- I would agree with that.
00:41:18
- Okay, go ahead and elaborate.
00:41:20
- No, I mean, 'cause it's like, I had a, I went for, I got my steps in yesterday.
00:41:25
Whenever I get my steps, I take that opportunity, like call a family member.
00:41:28
- Okay.
00:41:29
- And, you know, I've talked about it that I'm like the family matriarch.
00:41:32
And so I took that opportunity to call my sister, Christie, lovely woman.
00:41:38
I mean, Salta the Earth says the rosary in the morning in the afternoon deals with kids that are very extremely learning disabled, sits on the ground with them,
00:41:49
and gives them tests and individualized plans.
00:41:53
I mean, just really wonderful person.
00:41:56
It never has anything bad to say about anybody.
00:41:59
I mean, directly on the sweetheart.
00:42:02
- Yes, just direct opposite of me.
00:42:04
- Just so nice, so nice.
00:42:07
So as we're talking, she's like, you know, I need to make more money.
00:42:12
You know, after I pay the teachers and you know, parents don't want to spend that much on there.
00:42:16
And so we go through the whole thing.
00:42:17
And I started talking to her about AI.
00:42:20
And I'm like, weren't you here in AI?
00:42:23
She has her doctorate.
00:42:24
She does all this great stuff.
00:42:25
Cannot fully put her like on arms around it, what it does and how can really help her.
00:42:34
- Informationally, like she doesn't understand it or fear based where I don't want to use it 'cause I'm afraid.
00:42:41
- I think a little bit of both.
00:42:42
- Okay.
00:42:43
- I think a little bit of both.
00:42:44
See, so, so, you know, those of us, me, that are like immersed in it.
00:42:50
Go look at it and go, wow, this is really something.
00:42:53
And it makes my life easier.
00:42:54
I can upload spreadsheets and have it answer emails and do all this great stuff.
00:42:58
And we're coming out with a kim bot that we're working on.
00:43:01
- Okay.
00:43:02
- Which, just let you know.
00:43:03
I mentioned this once.
00:43:05
I think on the big show.
00:43:06
Somebody want to know if the kim bot was gonna be on OnlyFans.
00:43:09
- Oh, is it?
00:43:10
- Okay, no.
00:43:11
- Oh, okay, try it.
00:43:12
- Not yet.
00:43:14
(laughing)
00:43:15
- Depends on how big the check is, they offer her.
00:43:18
- But anyway, Vactic Christine.
00:43:19
- Yeah, so he was even going farther with that where AI is gonna sculpt culture because AI is gonna become our best friends.
00:43:27
And that children, maybe not the next generation but the generation after that, these children will grow up with companions that are not real.
00:43:34
They are artificial intelligence.
00:43:36
- I believe that.
00:43:36
- And with that comes the fact of whoever is then the creator of these companions gets to sculpt the culture that they will be moving forward.
00:43:46
The things we hear, the things we talk about, the things we believe.
00:43:49
And he, of course, wants the United States to be the ones that do that, but if they're not, what's gonna happen to global cultures everywhere?
00:43:56
Because with AI and the interconnection of that, there's no difference between anyone, right?
00:44:02
And that normal people, A, fear base won't accept it or C, don't even see that on the horizon.
00:44:09
- I don't think a lot of people even see it.
00:44:11
I think that Hollywood has kind of warped what AI-- - Oh, absolutely.
00:44:18
- But I really believe that we, well, I can see that where kids would have their own companion.
00:44:23
- I don't know, I think we'll ruin it 'cause we try to monetize everything.
00:44:27
And so your kid would be like, "Hey, let's go on the swing set."
00:44:29
And then the AI friend will freeze and you have to either watch an ad or pay 99 cents to get the AI to go-- - Don't you want the Tyco swing set?
00:44:37
- I gotta get a new fit from a best friend, dad.
00:44:39
I need 44 AI bugs.
00:44:42
But I get that, but also, I don't know if it's going to, I said the same thing about the iPhone, I understand that.
00:44:50
But I don't know if the normal people are gonna look to go that deep into it for they to have that much of a culture shock even over the next two generations.
00:45:00
- Oh, it's gonna be like the development of the car.
00:45:02
People, you know, there's certain segments of society are gonna have the car first.
00:45:06
And then eventually, as time goes on, everybody's gonna have a car 'cause they're gonna see the benefit of the transportation of having transportation.
00:45:12
You know, that was just brilliant that I just said that.
00:45:14
I just made that up by myself.
00:45:16
- Okay.
00:45:17
- Next week we'll be reading into letter from a listener, praising you on coming up with that comment.
00:45:22
- But it is, I mean, so people who are the early adopters, people who are entrenched in it.
00:45:27
And then, but, you know, as I was talking to Christine, I told her, "Dae for an idea for her business."
00:45:34
And I said, "You know, if you don't do this, if you don't do this within, by next June or July, your business is going to suffer."
00:45:46
I said it is, it's going to suffer.
00:45:48
And, but if you don't, but if you just want to get along to go along until you sail into the retirement sunset, okay, then keep continuing to do what you do.
00:45:59
But if you want to make sure that your business is sustainable for the next five or 10 years, then you need to start utilizing AI and how it's going to work.
00:46:10
And then, she said to me, "You know, you always have a knack for making money."
00:46:16
And I said, "Yes, I do."
00:46:18
And I've always been a little bit ahead, which, you know, my mother used to tell me that.
00:46:23
She would always say to me, "Think about what you like because you're always first."
00:46:30
And that, and I sat there for years going like, "Oh, she doesn't, you know, she's just my mom."
00:46:34
But now that I'm like, "You know what, she's right."
00:46:36
I mean, I go for things first, and then I have to pay attention to what that is.
00:46:42
But back to business owners.
00:46:43
So, and I notice that in my email, I'm getting so much notes and questions about businesses that as you start listening to the show, which is also kind of a little bit of a transition,
00:46:55
is that people are now asking me a lot of questions about, what do they do with their business?
00:47:01
How can I utilize AI?
00:47:03
And I know we're on a tangent right now.
00:47:05
But if you're not utilizing AI in your business, it's, you know, you will be missed.
00:47:10
You won't miss out.
00:47:11
It's like, for the people who didn't embrace transportation, they did miss out.
00:47:16
They got there eventually, but they weren't the first ones, you know, honking that horn.
00:47:22
- So you're saying, "Don't be normal."
00:47:23
Be abnormal.
00:47:25
- Don't be, yeah, don't be normal.
00:47:26
And so, I have a great joke here at the end.
00:47:28
- Oh, good.
00:47:29
We're not gonna have joke hands.
00:47:30
We're just coming out with it.
00:47:32
We're gonna have to joke in the show.
00:47:33
- But I need you to participate, okay?
00:47:36
- So, I'm not not joking.
00:47:37
- Kind of.
00:47:38
- Okay.
00:47:39
- When I come to your first, you have to say AI.
00:47:43
- Okay.
00:47:44
- When I come to your second, just say oh, okay.
00:47:47
So you just have two things to say.
00:47:49
AI.
00:47:50
- Got it.
00:47:51
- I won't screw this up, I promise.
00:47:52
- Okay.
00:47:52
- Did you know that Old McDonald's farm has been taken over by artificial intelligence?
00:48:00
- AI.
00:48:01
- AI.
00:48:02
- Oh?
00:48:03
(laughing)
00:48:06
- Old McDonald's farm, AIO, or do you get that?
00:48:10
- I'm mixing Bingo and had a name over my head.
00:48:13
(laughing)
00:48:14
- Old McDonald's.
00:48:15
- Old McDonald's farm.
00:48:16
- What's the next slide?
00:48:17
- AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI.
00:48:19
- You go try to get.
00:48:20
- Yeah, yeah.
00:48:21
- You should just do, you should actually do the AI, AIO.
00:48:24
I'll do the AI and then you do that second one and the last one.
00:48:28
And then we'll totally edit this and post.
00:48:30
So it sounds totally-- - Well, I guess, yeah, I always like to, you know, this is a joke that you could do like over the holidays.
00:48:35
But you just do the whole punch line.
00:48:37
- Well, okay, we'll try it again.
00:48:40
- I'll just do the AI, then you do the AI.
00:48:42
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:48:43
It's gonna sound a lot better, I promise you.
00:48:44
- Did you know that Old McDonald's farm has been taken over by artificial intelligence?
00:48:48
- AI.
00:48:50
- AI, AI, AIO.
00:48:51
- Oh, that's hilarious.
00:48:53
(laughing)
00:48:54
- See, it worked better that time.
00:48:56
- Do you have a better joke?
00:48:57
- No, I don't, that's not a good joke.
00:48:59
- That was a fabulous joke.
00:49:02
- All right, fine, whatever.
00:49:03
People love me.
00:49:05
(laughing)
00:49:07

00:49:09

00:49:22
- It's coming.
00:49:23
- How do you know?
00:49:24
- We're supposed to get an email within 24 hours with a special code.
00:49:27
And everybody's waiting around the computer, waiting for that email to come.
00:49:30
- Yes, where is it?
00:49:31
- It's not, they're waiting.
00:49:33
We don't have to go to like, somebody's email, it doesn't live, we don't have to go to work anymore.
00:49:36
(laughing)
00:49:38
- Some former writer's gonna sit in this house and stare at that plaque.
00:49:41
