Chapter 1: What happened to Wade's WordPad ideas?

96.587 - 99.916 Mark

So you're predicting, you're estimating your poor performance in the future, right?

0

100.016 - 113.762 Wade

Yeah, yeah. Okay, actually. Based on my performance, I'm expecting those results. I believe it. He knows what's going to happen. I'm just getting things written down on my... I was going to say my WordPad here. You know, I'm just going to get it out of the way here. My WordPad here.

0

114.082 - 129.01 Wade

So I had a whole bunch of topics, and by a whole bunch, I mean at least five that I would open up, and I'll occasionally come up with an idea for the podcast. I'm like, ooh, that's a good idea. And I'll open up WordPad, and I'll type it in there, and I'll be like, okay, here's an idea. Here's a little breakdown of what the idea is. I'll save it. And then whenever...

0

129.87 - 145.211 Wade

I'm making my way toward these ideas or whatever. I'll go in and I'll like elaborate on them some and be like, okay, this is for some of them like secret words in the past. I would come up with a list of words, whatever, have it. Well, it turns out that Windows had a forced update recently. And by recently, you guys might be like, oh, it was like a week ago.

0

Chapter 2: How did Microsoft updates affect users?

145.231 - 162.886 Wade

And yeah, it was a couple weeks ago, probably for you now. But for the first time since I think 1998 or something like that, WordPad is no longer part of Windows. And I stupidly, apparently, saved a bunch of stuff on WordPags. I was like, well, it's not like Microsoft Office or Adobe or something else where I might eventually lose it if I don't have that program.

0

162.906 - 184.123 Wade

At least WordPad's consistently with Windows. Not anymore, it finds out. Hey, I have WordPad on my Windows 11 computer. I just opened it up. Well, I had to reinstall it and all of my stuff's gone. And I found some Reddit posts, people like rest in peace, WordPad 1998 to 2024. Weird. But anyway, WordPad was taken away from me and I lost all of my info, including all of my ideas.

0

184.183 - 207.775 Wade

So I have nothing in the tank and I'm kind of upset about it. That's tough. For those that don't know, I play D&D every Wednesday on a channel called Lost Initiative on Twitch, and I had a huge document of background info, items, progression, notes, different things for my character, all gone, along with all my distractible ideas. So I'm a little disheartened. Those things are of equal value.

0

208.156 - 229.001 Wade

Honestly, D&D is a bit above because the podcast ideas I can always come up with more. No, no, no. Your pages and pages of D&D bullshit pales in comparison to your several distractible episode ideas. Dude, my heart is... I'm trying so hard not to like... You can cry. I'm crying internally.

0

229.021 - 230.001 Bob

Baby gonna cry?

230.021 - 230.621 Wade

Yeah.

231.001 - 231.781 Bob

You wanna cry it out?

231.821 - 233.942 Wade

I'm trying to be supportive. Is it working? You gonna cry? Yeah.

235.43 - 239.253 Bob

Oh no, are you going to cry? Oh no. Oh yeah, I'm sad.

Chapter 3: How is AI reshaping data privacy concerns?

486.227 - 496.191 Wade

And then boom, it's off to the races. We're going to have AI betting instead of horse betting one day where we line up the AIs to see who gets to the finish line first. That's the stock market right now. That is.

0

497.551 - 519.151 Wade

yeah it is oh god no i will say uh not that this isn't true of all of the ai things that you can use online but man if china wanted some data did they pick the right avenue to get an unlimited supply of free data make sure you look into the data retention policies.

0

519.271 - 542.542 Wade

And I'm pretty sure that I don't remember exactly, but the deep seek data policy is something like if you type it in, even if you don't hit enter, we own that shit forever. And we probably de-identified the data, so it's probably anonymous, but we're not going to explain how we do that. Yeah, why would we? Take our word for it. Trust me, bro. Trust me, bro.

0

542.902 - 564.352 Wade

Which I have no faith that... I know that other companies like OpenAI and stuff have policies that say different things, and I'm sure they follow their policies because no corporation has ever lied about what they're doing with data. But also, I have no faith that any other company is any better, but... Make sure you don't type any important shit in a deep seek because that's no longer private.

0

564.492 - 582.719 Wade

You might as well be posting that publicly everywhere on the internet. But I don't think anyone gives a shit. Judging by how many people immediately downloaded Red Note and were like, come on, watch me, algorithm me. I don't think anyone gives a single fuck about who has their online data. No worries. No worries.

583.039 - 594.589 Wade

Honestly, for some of those, it's probably like, yeah, the data isn't particularly valuable. But, you know, some people using these services are probably using them on computers that are connected to various sensitive systems.

595.15 - 600.354 Mark

And if it's got basically a key logger in the program, who knows what it could do?

600.414 - 623.81 Wade

I'm not saying it is or does that stuff, but it's like people need to have more caution about using these services. Probably shouldn't log into deep seek on a high security, important, valuable computers for your workplace or yeah. I mean, whatever. I understand. They're like, how many clowns can I fit into a car if they were naked? And Kellogg's like, this is the person we need to target.

624.83 - 644.702 Wade

We got them. I mean, how many more do you get if they're naked versus if they're in full clown gear? Cause that does take up naked and lubed or naked and dry. Ooh, they're always lubed. That's clown life. Yeah, well, OK, just checking. I feel like the difference is a lot then, because naked and lubed gives you a lot of leeway. You can slither a lot in there.

Chapter 4: What is the story behind kinky clowns and cultural trends?

1018.409 - 1040.158 Wade

In 2024, contractors were on the roof of this grocery store, Family Fair grocery store, and saw an extension cord plugged into an outlet leading over around a corner into a little separated off area. And they went and explored because they were curious when they discovered a mini apartment set up You know how on grocery stores on top, it'll say like real big, like Kroger.

0

1040.178 - 1065.052 Wade

And it's like on top of the building. The family fair thing is like a small 15 by five room on the outside of which it says family fair. And on the inside of which is a 15 by five apartment with a desk with a computer and a printer. A Keurig, a pantry with food, a thriving house plant, and apparently also flooring installed. And a woman lived there for about a year before she was discovered.

0

1065.432 - 1083.66 Wade

She had a car, had a job that she just went to. She was just living in it like this was her normal apartment, but also somehow was never discovered. Dude, going to the grocery would suck a lot less if it was just downstairs. I don't know how you get up and down off that roof. I'm thinking it's probably kind of a pain in the ass, but it would be nice to live that close to the grocery store.

0

1083.78 - 1101.108 Wade

What was the name of the store, the market or whatever? Family Fair. I like to think there's a secret elevator where, like, the A-I-R just, like, lowers down and she rides it, then it, like, bounces back up. Well, it couldn't be because it's Fair F-A-R-E, as in that's delicious fair. Mm-hmm.

0

1101.528 - 1121.785 Wade

maybe it's far the far drops and goes back anyway i just i've i feel like so the resolution of it was they discovered her in the store called the police and they trespassed her so she can't come back in the store and they let her get her belongings apparently but then they were like you can't do that i say let her live there you didn't notice i do too that's like a mini attraction

1122.025 - 1138.637 Wade

You didn't notice for a whole year that this lady's living. Clearly, it's not impacting you in the housing climate that we live in. I feel like this woman just found a way to beat the system. Seems just shitty to just kick her out because now it's just empty. Now nobody lives there. Turns out she had a seven figure job and just really liked living on top of there.

1139.231 - 1153.129 Wade

It must be very satisfying to live somewhere rent free. The only place I live rent free is inside Mark's head. Hey, I didn't know you were in there. I'm going to evict you now. Get out of my head. That's why you can't spell so good. So I'm in there jumbling them all up.

1155.251 - 1159.392 Mark

I wouldn't be surprised. You're just jealous because I can picture an apple rotating in my head.

1160.132 - 1165.314 Wade

It's spinning. That's why I got in there in the first place. I wanted to see the apple.

Chapter 5: Who is the Rooftop Ninja?

1994.939 - 1998.64 Mark

Oh, I'm so out of shape. Oh, I used to be so gloriously in shape.

0

1998.9 - 2013.227 Wade

Dude, I'm at that. I mean, not that we've ever been in the same ballpark of in shape, but I'm at that point right now where I worked out yesterday and it was like not a hard workout, like the easiest workout I've done in a long time. I woke up and sat up and had that moment where I was like,

0

2017.481 - 2034.14 Wade

oh yeah i worked out yesterday fuck but i thought i was just like dying a little bit because everything everything everywhere so 20 minutes i spent standing and crouching to pick up shit and my thighs are on fire What a workout.

0

2034.5 - 2036.762 Mark

We don't have to be these people, guys.

0

2036.882 - 2056.098 Wade

We can change our lives for the better right now. Doesn't that blow your mind that you could just decide right now to become a different person? I'm gonna stand up. I'm becoming a different person as you speak. I'm gonna stand up. Have fun with that, fucking losers. I'm standing. Mark, your height didn't change that much.

2056.458 - 2084.955 Mark

It did, though! I hit your camera! Thank you. Thank you.

2115.657 - 2274.623 Wade

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

2297.102 - 2346.799 Mark

Thank you. Thank you.

2371.047 - 2414.953 Wade

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Chapter 6: Did Cincinnati have its own superheroes?

3355.345 - 3385.875 Wade

Rooftop Ninja, rent-free in Mark's head, and bidet. Bob, you finished with six points.

0

3385.995 - 3401.992 Wade

Mark, you finished with seven points. Mark, you won. Oh my god, I didn't actually think I was gonna make it. Yeah, I thought I was gonna fix it somehow. Especially when I walked away to go to the bathroom. We didn't even pretend to make a deal this time. We're just talking. Usually we pretend these days. Well, yay. Congrats, Mark. Bob, you get to give your speech first.

0

3402.512 - 3427.541 Wade

I choose to give a winner speech. Winning feels good. Winning feels great. Winning feels like a big piece of cake on your plate. Sometimes you win because you're the best, and sometimes you win because you've killed the rest. And I say that wholeheartedly from my full chest. Winning feels great. I'm done now. Okay. Great. That was good. Good rhymes. Good rhymes.

0

3427.941 - 3432.923 Wade

Mark, do you have a rhyming winter speech? Uh, no. The wind does blow.

0

3433.383 - 3450.811 Mark

The seed gets sowed. And I, with my truck, many things can tow. I have two elbows. And I want you all to know, I'm grateful for the blow. It's a special kind of snow.

3452.005 - 3478.438 Wade

You're lucky you already won, man. Um, I like how you said no, you didn't have a rhyming speech, and then you had a terrible one, so congrats on the win. A raven's not a crow. Facts. Thank you all for watching. Are you going to have a rhyming outro? Yeah, what's the deal? I'm sorry it was less entertaining than it showed. But, like all things, we too must goad. So goodbye for now from me. Woad.

3480.358 - 3492.748 Wade

Follow these guys in places they may have... Node. Market market plier. Bob at my skirm. Use wings that flowed. Podcast out. Fluff your F-road.
