Chapter 2: What are the implications of Tucker Carlson's interview with Andrew Tate?
Nobody else. Maybe Kanye, but nobody else. Nobody has. But I felt that was a troll anyways. Like, there's no way Elon didn't know that that was going to break. Yeah, no, that was definitely a troll. But this, though, this threats thing, I've been seeing it. Let me just say that I do not want more ways to be on social media. Yeah, that's... I'm looking for the exit of social media.
I'm trying to get the hell away from social media. I'm glad we waited... a few episodes to talk about this because I did want to see where we were all going to decide. Are we staying with Twitter? Are we going to Spill? Are we going to Threads? I can't take all three. I can't. I was in Canada and I saw Spill. I saw Threads. I didn't know what was happening in America. Yeah, like I saw Spill. Yes.
I saw Threads. So Twitter. What is Spill and Threads? So what happened was... Okay. People. So obviously threads. Mark Zuckerberg has been working on threads. Spill is created by two black former Twitter employees. Oh, so I'm going to spill. You and 10 people. What happened was. You would say that. Over July 4th weekend. It's about our lizard.
Twitter put a cap on the amount of tweets you were able to see because something was going on.
I would have to get more information on that, but they put a cap.

Chapter 3: How does the GoFundMe for Shaden Walker reflect on social media's role in modern bullying?
Twitter put a cap on the amount of tweets you could see.
Elon is trying to make, if you want to get the full experience of what Twitter was. Remember the running joke for years on Twitter? I can't believe this app is free. He's actively trying to eradicate that by saying, okay, fine. If you really love this app, you're going to put everything behind a paywall and a subscription wall. If you want free access to unlimited tweets, pay the $8.
You don't get a cap. If you don't pay, you get about 600 tweets a day you can see or something like that.
Which is the explanation, but what he did say was, yo, go touch some grass. That's really what Elon tweeted, which I thought was great. People were losing their minds. And I'm like, wait, you guys look at over 600 tweets a day. Like, are you fucking kidding? So everyone panicked within an hour. Everyone decided to go over to spill. And then advertising crazy. Elon didn't even keep to that.
I'm on Twitter pretty often and I didn't even get affected by it. Yeah. Now it's back to regular schedule shit. I would never know if I couldn't see more than 600 tweets. Spill was like Clubhouse, but just for like five minutes as far as everyone going to an app. So Spill? Threads fucking just stepped on the new tech company within one minute. I saw Threads had 100 million subs in four days.
Because he made it so easy to subscribe. Because what happens is, when you join Spill, right, you have to, first of all, you have to get an invite because it was still in beta version. You would still... Beta. Beta. Okay.
I'll just say this. I'm just helping you out. She's so pretentious. Beta. Beta Benny. Our listeners should know how to pronounce words. Yes.
Anyway, so for Spill, since it was a beta version, you needed to get an invite in order to get accepted into there. Spill.
Yes. People had to invite you. So when I signed up, I got like three invites and I could invite three people. To the cookout. Yeah, like that. So it was cool.

Chapter 4: What are the ethical concerns surrounding AI-generated music and Grammy nominations?
Because your algorithm doesn't... It's not your algorithm and it's not your lifestyle. I'm talking about things you care about.
You're not affiliated. Correct. You're right. I'm definitely not affiliated. If you're part of a certain group of people... 100%. With a certain color... Right. Got you. Okay.
Okay.
But I don't think Threads was created to become another thing for people to join. It was supposed to replace Twitter. The goal is to replace Twitter, not to become Twitter and Threads. Let's be very clear. I don't think there's anything that's going to replace Twitter. I think Twitter is just one of those mainstays that's just always going to be there. Like, it's never...
I mean, Elon can slow it down so you can only see 600 tweets a day or pay this fee to see more. He can do little things like that. And I still think that people are not going to ever leave Twitter. Twitter is just one of those things that I think everybody... People grew up with Twitter. I understand what you're saying, but people have already started to leave Twitter.
Twitter is not in its heyday. I don't know about that. It's similar. Of course, it's not Facebook because Facebook is way up here, but it is Facebook in the way that it won't go anywhere. It'll just shift who is using it. Facebook, to us, is dead. But Facebook is still, if not number one, number two biggest social media platforms. In terms of users, yeah. Twitter's the same way.
We have an election coming up. Twitter's probably the biggest platform when it comes to politics and election time. I don't even know if it's bigger than Facebook when it comes to that.
Facebook is biggest when it comes to election because Facebook's demographic are the people who are easiest to sway their opinion.
And Facebook's demographic is largely the people that are going out and vote.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of AI in music and Grammy nominations?
Yeah. But that's also like, where do you draw the line? I'm against this whole AI shit, man.
I'm sorry.
I'm against AI, period. But if we're going to work with it. Now we're considering AI shit for the Grammys now? This is just bad. This is bad for music. This is bad. I think it's going to happen a lot on the producer side. I don't see any of these AI songs popping. No, I agree. Until an AI song pops. I think production-wise it could happen.
Chapter 6: How does the discussion shift to Michael Jackson's music legacy?
The Drake one took off.
That Drake Weekend record? This is bad, man. I'm telling y'all, you cannot fuck with the integrity of art. You should not do it. You should not do it. Well, they've been doing it. Do you think this might... What do you think auto-tune is? No, that's something different. How? This might tell on some people, though? I mean, yeah, I think it will tell on some people.
But at the same time, I just... When you talk about art, it's just supposed to... It's just a human... Like music, like if an artist paints something, like what's next? They're going to use like an AI-generated paintbrush to mimic Basquiat's stroke of the brush and then say that's a Basquiat painting and then sell that as a... There's people that do that.
Chapter 7: What are the perspectives on relationships and voicemails?
Yeah, but to me, that's insane. Basquiat, he did not paint that. And that's why the value is way lower.
No, no, no, no, no. I'm saying there are people that scam high profile art, say Renaissance painting, Basquiat, whatever the case may be, where they will mimic the stroke, the color down to a science, sell it as if it's an original.
And that's what I'm saying. That's insane. But it's still human made. They're not plugging it or programming it. If it's human-made, then okay, that's a whole different conversation. It's a sample. But they're selling it as if it was a classic. Yeah, that's fraud. But it's still human-made. We're talking about computer-generated
Chapter 8: How does witchcraft and its cultural significance come into play?
Music, lyrics, tones, and fluctuations of voices and things like, bro, I just, I can't. I can't get with that. Again, I don't think any of these songs are going to pop of like the Drake and Weekend AI shit. I am curious to see when it comes to production and songwriting who this could quote unquote expose. But also how do you prove that? Like say AI makes a beat for me and I put my name on it.
who's to is sterling master gonna snitch like who's gonna tell right that ai did this even with the songwriting too that's also what i'm curious about no but we spoke voice generation shit we we can we'll figure that one out i mean drake got that michael jackson shit off and no one talks about it but that was really michael that was the first ai it was michael that was not michael jackson i i listened to a podcast that addressed it because we tell the truth on podcasts right
the man that owns what the fuck's his name he owns the rights to those sessions though he co-wrote those with Michael he recorded them he was the engineer what's his damn name he's Jason Bateman's father-in-law Oh. Oh, yes. Honest guy. I don't remember his name. But anyway, he opened up about it.
You don't know Jason Bateman?
Yeah, Paul Inca. Yeah. One of the famous writers of all time. He had all these sessions. Was he a writer or engineer? I thought he was an engineer. No, he co-wrote a lot of those. He wrote a lot of records for the Beatles. Dude's a legend.
His story's incredible. But they talked about four or five records. One was for Justin Timberlake. One was for Drake. And then there were a few others that went out with other artists.
But didn't he have like vocals of Mike and somebody stole like a bunch of them? Michael stole files from him. And then when Michael Jackson stole files from him, I thought somebody else like stole his equipment. I got to send you guys a podcast. It's really good.
Michael stole the file. Pretty much. Michael stole the files. Then they announced the tour, which was named.
What was it? Michael Jackson stole the files from his computer. This Is It tour, which also happened to be a name of one of the songs that they wrote together. They needed that song because the whole messaging of this tour was This Is It. They had to go back to him to get the files and shit. It was a whole thing. It was really interesting. So Mike stole his own files.
