Dude, I had a BlackBerry. I was working in my early 20s with a BlackBerry. And that's very different than an iPhone. Sure. That's emails. It's emails. So we were getting emails from our manager at work going, will you fucking losers do something? Things like that. Because we couldn't sell anything.
Yeah, because you could take a shitty photo and send it to someone. You could email a photo. And the photos were like terrible quality. Yeah. But just the idea of like at your job, just sending someone an email photo was like hilarious. Like being out somewhere and taking a photo and emailing it to somebody going, fuck you, I'm not at work. That was like fun.
There was a New York City realtor. This lady, Dolly Lenz, was like the top realtor in New York City. She famously, she did a Blackberry commercial. She famously had like eight Blackberries. because she would just get all these contracts and stuff. She would like hand them out to her assistants and stuff. And they'd respond to over, she would get over 700 emails a day at the height of her thing.
She was selling all this real estate. So black, that was the first time I didn't have a smartphone in junior high or high school.
I had like a flip phone. People had Razer phones. I didn't even have that. I had like a Sprint LG or some bullshit. And then I got BlackBerrys. And I think my first iPhone was like in my 20s, like mid-20s. Yeah, that's good. I wasn't like connected like that. Yeah, these kids are connected from the time they're six years old.
They set it up, and he just sits there, and he does, I don't know what he's watching, maybe I don't know what he's doing. No one knows either. I don't know what he's found. That's the other thing. You hope, like best case, he's playing some game.
Well, that's the other thing. I feel like that's also damaged people's... No doubt.
A lot of it is hyper-violent, sadistic, crazy porn.
That's what they say.
People whose heads are going through glass tables. No, but that's what, like, when you have these articles that are written about this, they say it's not only that they're watching porn, it's the type of porn. It's not like regular porn.
It's like crazy shit, and it warps their fucking brain.
That's an interesting argument.
Didn't they have like that argument for it?
And they're also like, I'll make some money with this kid sex doll company. What a weird way to make a fortune. What an odd way to make a fortune. I made a little bit of money. What'd you do?
Don't worry about it. What'd you do? Kid sex dolls. Anyway, have you been to the Four Seasons in Cancun? It's crazy. Well, we're getting to a point where the world is really scary, but also equally unbelievable and absurd. So you have the, it's funny, but it's also insane. And I think people are like, we don't know what's real anymore.
These AI videos come out and you don't know what's real and what's not. The deep fakes are getting better. That seems to be one of the biggest problems that no one talks about. It's like reality seems to be splintering.
They think comedians seem to be somewhat in them in the safer group of people in what way Perspective seems like maybe one of the harder things for AI to
It's such a crazy library you have. It's like I wonder what you do with it.
It's an interesting. It's a great question. Sell it to China. What if after Spotify you go to China?
It would be actually a great idea if you just sit down and go, nothing's changing about the podcast. It's still going to be free. It's just going to be in Mandarin. It's owned by the Chinese government, but it's the same podcast it's always been.
