Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy. Not quite. On Humor Me with Robert Smigel and Friends, me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guests, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an acapella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes.

On the Look Back At It podcast. 1979, that was a big moment for me. 84 was big to me. I'm Sam Jay. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s. 84 was a wild year. It was a wild year.

A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what y'all say. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor IV. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media. Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.

Taylor, Natasha, really good to see you all. I want to ask you today about the sunsetting of Ask.com and any fond farewells you all have for the artist formerly known as Ask Jeeves, who I think to my mind kind of scooped the chatbot moment by almost 30 years before dying too young.

145.747 - 155.616 Unknown

Oh, so sad. That was what I was saving for my worst week in tech. That was going to be my joke. Oh, man, you stole it from me. Very sad. End of an era.

Chapter 2: What are the latest developments in AI regulation by the Trump administration?

1082.283 - 1085.569 Nitasha Tiku

And I think a lot could be addressed by putting them up there.

You know, the noise concern, though, they do have this hum. The data centers have this hum. That's actually, of all the complaints that people have, that's the one that I sort of relate to the most. Like, if there was this thing humming all the time, that would really bother me. But I think the... New ones, the liquid cooling will be a lot quieter, actually.

We've got a whole segment on data centers, so we don't want to scoop too much. Just before we go to the break, though, there's been discussion of working groups between government officials and tech executives. What's the difference between that and President Trump sitting flanked by all the tech executives kind of? chiseling with Diet Coke.

Is there going to be anything meaningful that comes out of this? Or is this like a bellwether for something more meaningful that may come in the future?

Working groups. I mean, come on. These guys are at the White House all the time. Anytime they want, Trump will pick up the phone. I remember you try to get people to come out from Silicon Valley to our DC events. And I'm like, we're going to have all these people from the administration there. It'll be great. You can talk to them. They're like,

1147.328 - 1153.836 Unknown

Reid, I can go to the White House tomorrow if I want to. That is not a huge benefit. Thank you so much for your gracious invitation.

1153.876 - 1158.762 Oswald Losch

But unfortunately, I'm otherwise engaged at the White House. But I'm sitting at the Oval Office right now.

1158.802 - 1159.844 Reed Albergotti

They're running the White House.

1161.846 - 1190.542 Oswald Losch

All right, we're going to take a short break now. When we come back, Taylor is going to tell us about a dark money campaign paying influencers to frame Chinese AI as a threat. Don't miss it. When you're traveling abroad, Wi-Fi is always an issue.
