Rusty Puttfark
Hello and welcome to another episode of the free thinkers podcast. The show that believes in free speech, original thought and desire for truth. Hope everyone had a great week we are back with our good buddy Dale Murphy. Dale, how’s your week been?

Del Murphy
Man? It’s been great. Another week and just happy to be here again. Happy to be back when you

Rusty Puttfark
got the sport and the free thinkers podcast hat, your official member of the crew now. Absolutely. Yeah, we had to make sure you come back. Yeah, one you know which, right? Make sure you come back. Here we are. Yeah, we are

Del Murphy
now we got the official hat and moving forward. We have to get these out for the people.

Rusty Puttfark
We do. People people actually have requested those. The 99.98% There’s one over there did not comply one says no. So we’ll get that store going on. That’s something that I tasked you with will have to you have to work on. Going Yeah. But um, yeah, we were going to we miss last week, just a lot of crazy stuff. And we were the goal is to try to get these done, like on a Tuesday night. So you can release them on Wednesday and just have a consistent release schedule. Yeah, that’s the goal. Had a few family things going on my grandmother who watches this, she had successful surgery to repair fracture the second time around. So that’s a good thing. That is that’s a cool thing, her pain levels down. So anyway, we’re gonna get back with that. And this week, I thought, you know, we had a subject we’re going to talk about. But I think we need to get a little more thought. But I think this week, be interesting to cover, AI, chat GPT, artificial intelligence, how it’s changed the world so far. Yeah, where it’s going, and what people can expect because it’s here to stay. And I was telling my buddy today, I said, I think how have you this is how we had encyclopedias. And then we had the search engine, right? Everyone was like, oh, no, you can’t use that to do your research. When everybody’s using it. The AI and artificial intelligence to help do pretty crazy tasks. Yeah. So you’ve used it, right?

Del Murphy
Yeah, I’ve used it. And I mean, it’s pretty amazing. I mean, the stuff that it can spit out. And you know, just, I think, you know, you show me a couple of things that you’ve done, and I think a lot of it is if you put in the correct information, then it spits out some pretty amazing stuff. Because if you just kind of, you know, put in some garbage, you’re gonna get garbage out. But if you put in very specific parameters of what you’re looking for, and how you want it to flow and things like that, I think there was one thing you had done, where it was like somebody Tom Rinaldi, like at ESPN, like say this in the voice of, you know, how Tom Renault would do it, and it was, I mean, it read like something that was, you know, being read over the masters or, you know, some sporting event that, you know, college football game that Tom earned all these add about, you know, somebody’s grandmother, or, you know, or something like that. And so it was pretty awesome.

Rusty Puttfark
Yeah, there’s, and the funny thing is, there was there was one instance, that I was writing something for a client that like a marketing copy and use that. And it was great. And then I was kidding around. I’m like, well write this in the King James Version style. It nailed it. Are you saying? Oh, yeah, it was at The Dalles? Oh, yeah. And he’s Yeah, and I mean, everything. Yeah. And then so I asked another prompt, and it still stayed within that. So it’s like, okay, let’s leave the King James. Version style back. But no, I think it’s, I think it’s very intriguing, because, to me, I was very opposed to it at first. And, again, I’m not, we don’t know where it’s going. Right. I mean, Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson had an interview this week. And he’s, he seems frightened of it, which concerns me because he was part of the creation. Yeah, or the team that created that. But the way I use it, and again, the way that, you know, some of my friends use it, they said, treat it like an assistant. And I have and it’s like, I have a writer on staff now. Because it’s incredible. Again, what you can do. This morning, I was just messing around because I was talking to a developer yesterday about a plugin that I wanted. And we talked, we had a two hour call. So I went on in this morning and described the plugin How would How would I go about doing this hit a button and it wrote the freaking plugin, like code? Really, and I don’t know if it works or not. I sent the whole chat to my developer and I’m like, Can does this work? Can we see it? So maybe tomorrow to work but it’s insane. I mean, it’s absolutely insane. But it’s, again, you can use it. I think it’s like anything you can use it, you know, for the good or you can actually turn it for the bad, right? It’s, it’s got a lot of pros if you use it for the right way. But the cons there’s a lot that I see common and By using it, as a matter of fact, I’ve used it for some of these podcasts, not in the creation of them yet. But as summaries because you take the transcript, and you can almost do summaries. It never wants to write a summary, because it’s like, as an AI, we can’t do this is controversial, or this is racial or whatever. It’s, it’s pretty sensitive.

Del Murphy
Yeah. Yeah, it’s, you know, it’s pretty amazing how loud you look at that. And like, back in the day, how you’re talking, we, you know, we pulled out the encyclopedias, or whatever we could find, and, you know, being able to have this now, it’s like, man, you put in just a paragraph or two about what you’re looking for. And that thing could spit out, you know, anything that you want. So, pretty amazing, you know, the technology. And, you know, like you said, it’s a little scary. And then, you know, as well, I think for some people, it may be, they may be a little nervous about their jobs, because I think there’s some jobs that a lot of these companies and corporations could look at, and go, you know, what, we could, you know, get rid of a lot of salaries, and, you know, a lot of the our overhead here, you know, if we were to just implement, you know, some of the AI stuff that’s out there right now. So, you know, like you said, I think there’s some good, there’s some bad and, you know, it’s just kind of like, we’ve got to wait and see how this whole thing goes.

Rusty Puttfark
You’re right. And that’s the to me, I’m not scared about losing my job at all over this, or any aspect of it, it’s a matter of, I see it as an advantage. And the people to me that I think, have the advantage are the people that can use it with the human input in mind, knowing that you’re just going to get technical data, in technical data out. Yeah. But when you combine it with empathy and the human element in it, when you tell it, what to do of that, like, how to describe your, because you can just say, Okay, I do, you know, I sell flooring or something like that? Well, so how are you different than the guy down the street. So you need to talk about how your customer experience is better, how your products better how your products work in this environment, which is Florida. On to the list, let people cook. Because ultimately, you’re creating it for for people using AI to help create it for people. Because when people see that, then this is this is, you know, ultimately, you want them to read it, and feel they have a connection or enough of an interest to come and visit you and to do business with you. Because if it’s just technical data about flooring, right? The guy down the street can do that. Yeah. Or you can go to the website, or the manufacturers website and see that. Yeah. So again, like you said earlier, it’s what you put in is what you get out. And I think really, that’s the advantage of still bringing the human element to it. Right. And again, you can use it for I haven’t even gotten in the imagery part. I mean, when you’re talking about creating images of AI and that kind of thing. And I’ve seen it I’ve seen, you know, my friend, Kevin was showing me some images that he created. And they’re they’re phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal. But he’s using it for efficiency, because he can create these images, show it to a client say, okay, is this kind of the direction you want to go on something like that, and then do it in real life and reality? So it’s it, to me, the biggest hindrance that I’ve always had with clients is content, which I think anybody that’s ever done a website or created a video that is, so we’re at least getting something on the plate that says, Okay, let’s judge what’s on the plate? And let’s refine, yeah, and it’s made everything so much faster. Yeah, so much faster.

Del Murphy
Yeah. And I think like you said, it’s, it’s all going to be about the person that’s doing the input. And if you can make it, something that’s relatable to other people, you know, that’s, that’s going to set you apart, you know, to where you can use it, like you said, as an assistant to where you don’t have to go out and hire an assistant where you could just kind of tell it, you know, hey, because maybe there’s somebody that you know, you don’t want to have to sit there and tell them every, you know, five minutes, okay, this is how I want things to go, this is how I would like for this to sound, you know, where it’s like, you can just put that into the computer once or twice, and it spits something out for you, you know, somebody else, it may have taken a few hours and a lot more money, you know, out of your pocket. So, you know, it’s definitely something that’s going to be interesting. And I think that’s, you know, going to be good for people that are able to use it correctly. I’ve seen some articles on some people that are already being paid a lot of money, who are able to know how to make those inputs, you know, to get the right output. So I think there’s, you know, there’s there’s a lot of opportunity there in the future.

Rusty Puttfark
Yeah, there is. And the interesting part is, I guess, the bad part that I see and I can already see what’s coming of it. Because when I put something in like one of the podcasts I did a couple weeks ago I started off with I liked this racist coffee because there’s some article that this guy said this coffee was coffee is racist, blah, blah, blah. And so I took the transcript and put it in there and they it have flagged it because it said, No one said coffee is racist. So I can’t write this as an AI language generator, whatever. And so I put, yes, they did and pasted the article in AI came back. Oh, sorry, I didn’t know about this. So here’s the summary. And it wrote it out, wrote it out. Yeah. After that, because I gave it back information. So I’m not sure if now that’s in there. Yeah. But I went with it. And I’m like, No, you’re wrong. This isn’t what it is. And then. So in Kevin, also, he does kind of a radio show. And it’s great. So you can ask, tell me the origins of the song because on this radio show, he can talk about their origins. Yeah. And he’s like He in he did it as a test because he knows the origin of the song. And the thing completely made stuff up. Like this is completely bogus garbage. Yeah. So a lot of times on the bottom, it says, you know, sometimes it’s inaccurate information or that kind of thing. But I’ve, the biggest thing that I’ve I’ve seen is, it often is very one sided as far as from like, even some of the ones that I did, like, when I talked about guns, it really wouldn’t answer the the questions that I asked, because I’m like, letting me know, articles with links of people that defended themselves by by being legal gun owners against criminals, and it wouldn’t it didn’t want to tell me, yeah, didn’t want to tell me at all. And it’s very interesting, because, like, if you ask it to make jokes, I haven’t done it. But I’ve seen people that have done it, you know, they they’re comparing making jokes about Christians versus Muslims. And it’s not to do one for Christians. But it won’t do it. For me. It’s very interesting. So how I think I see it going and moving towards is, it’s going to replace search engines, or they want it to replace search engines, because search engines now they scan the Internet for all information, you have all options there. So one article could be pro one can be con, one can be often left field, this and the other. If you ask a single source, you’ll get a single answer. Yeah. And it can choose what it wants to do at that point. That to me is the very, very negative part.

Del Murphy
Yeah, that’s and I think going back to Elon, I think he has said that’s the issue, you know, one of the issues that he sees as well, because he already sees a lot of the AI outputs, you know, that are very one sided. And so like you said, it’s like if they’re able to control that and have one source of being the answer for everybody. It’s like, you know, where, where’s the youth going to go and get their information? Because they’re now relying on, you know, this AI to give it to give them the answers for things and they’re asking these questions, and somebody can just drill into them, hey, this is what we want them to believe this is what we want them to know. We don’t want them to hear about anything else. You know, that’s that’s the scary side of it. Yes. Like, unless, unless they’re free thinkers. You know, they’re, they’re gonna have an issue. Yeah,

Rusty Puttfark
I said it. So it’s got to be true, right? It’s got to be a source from somewhere. But no, it definitely has a bias. I mean, I can, I can tell you that. Yeah. It’s gonna be interesting if I tried to get it summarized if this saying that it has a bias is, you know, because all right back to it, because like I said, I treat it like a, like a assistant. I’m like, that’s the biggest propaganda I’ve ever seen in my life. And it’s like, sorry, you didn’t like this? Or whatever. I’m like, No, it’s crazy. You know, so I’ll like, Yeah, talk back to that. I know, it’s kind of stupid to do, maybe. But it’s, I don’t know, maybe there’s algorithms within that, that say, Okay, we got pushback from this, let’s keep shifting this way, or what but, I mean, that’s really kind of how I’ve used it as far as to help write, marketing copy, there’s ideas for books that I’ve had that I’ve put in there that it’s fleshed out. And it’s been amazing. There’s some extensions that you can do as far as that help your input. And it’s more of a directed approach to writing, okay, in certain aspects. And like I said, I don’t even think I’ve scratched the surface with it. My friend was at an AI convention for agriculture today and was talking about this huge grant. This university got strictly for AI. So it’s, I just don’t ever see the human element being taken out. I mean, there was a farm that I was on, and they had autonomous tractors, I mean, self driving tractors, and these things got stuck in the mud. I mean, they didn’t they stayed right on course, but they couldn’t look, I’m sure, I’m sure they’re gonna make cameras that can look at this now or Yeah, or soil sensors or something. But it drove and it just spin spun. Osiris is it rained the day before. And there’s just something about a human element that I think we need to have. But when we’re in this, entitled society, entitlements in society, it’s hard to get good work. It’s hard to get dependent people, right. It’s hard to look away for And that I mean, even even McDonald’s when they’ve got, you know, these like order things in there or whatever, I can’t blame them. Yeah, I mean, when you walk into any kind of food service place, other than Chick fil A, almost, they’re like, we’re doing your favor to do anything for you. And it’s no, you’re supposed to be a server and serve the customer. And it’s like, I don’t know. So I don’t

Del Murphy
know if you’ve been into Walmart lately, but like, man, the the amount of self service checkouts that they have now it’s crazy. I mean, it’s just like you walk in, and there’s maybe like, I would say, eight to 10. Maybe like, where there’s people at the registers. But then, I mean, there’s like, 30 to 50, where they have just a line of people, and they’re just taking you through and just putting you, you know, to each of those self checkouts, you know, and the only thing on that not to get off topic, but I mean, one thought I have had on that is how much whether it’s there, or whether it’s at the grocery store, wherever you’re having the self checkout, how much shrinkage is there going on with people that are just, you know, paying for one thing and slipping for more into the bag? You know, so how much money? Are you really saving? By not paying somebody the 12 or $15 an hour or whatever, you’re going to pay the checkout person, you know, compared to the machine? Like how much are you really saving overall, because of the amount of stuff that’s walking out the door, that somebody just hasn’t paid for it? You know, because you don’t have the amount of people to be able to watch all of those, you know, 30 to 50 checkout centers, you know, so you just you never know, it’s so?

Rusty Puttfark
Yeah, that’s interesting. That’s an interesting question. And I, I’m sure every store somehow has to track that. I mean, especially with RF RFID tags. I don’t know if they have those kind of like, hidden and they can tell what walks in and out. Yeah, I mean, heck, refrigerators have RFID tags now. So you know, what goes in and what goes out and it’s nuts. But to me too, though, even if you do self checkout, and a couple people skip some stuff back. I mean, that’s on them, obviously. Sure. But there’s been experiences I’ve had at the register where I’m like, I don’t know if I want to come back here. Right. So maybe it’s it’s maybe it’s better to have self checkout, and lose a little money than have, you know, this person just be a complete jerk. I was at Greenwise the other day, and they’ve always been incredible. They had one checkout lady, and it was like, bad day for Betty or something. And I was like, Man, this is nuts. You know, Nick, I felt bad for not going to the self checkout. I went to the I go to the human people. Human feed, right. Oh, except that day. That day? Yeah. Yeah. But, uh, no, it, it should be interesting. And I, my biggest thing is the kids that are gonna grow up using this, because you have they have to, they have to write if they don’t. And I say that. But I remember when the iPad came out. And I remember they interviewed Steve Jobs. And they’re like, man, you created the iPad, all this other stuff. What are your kids think about it? And he’s like, they never touched on when they never will. And the news reporters like what? And he goes, No, don’t ever touch an iPad. Yeah. That’s like, that’s just distraction advice. And then when you see, like Bill Gates, and all the elite, they send their kids to school without any computers or electronics. I mean, it’s all books and you know, head knowledge, right? So it’s gonna be, it’s gonna be interesting to see which way works. I mean, because here’s the thing, too, is they can get everybody dependent on it and pull it out. And then what are we gonna do? Like in Italy, it’s banned. They banned AI in Italy can’t use it. That’s crazy. So if people get dependent upon that so much, so they don’t know how to think they don’t know how to do anything like a human knows how to do. What’s that going to do to people?

Del Murphy
Yeah. Well, I mean, you even look at the web with the internet now. I mean, because it’s like, we’re all so dependent daily, on the internet for whether it’s home work, whatever it is, you’re doing, everything is all online. And so it’s like, somebody’s got that control, you know, to where it’s like, what happens one day, if somebody goes, You know what, yep, we’re gonna throw the world into chaos here real quick. Because I mean, that would that would really throw things into chaos, you know, in a heartbeat. So, you know, it’s just little little scary whenever you’ve got people that become so dependent, you know, on that I was watching. I just thought it was on Netflix or Prime video or something like where and it was something from 2012 was the Hatfields and McCoys. So it was Kevin Costner, and Bill Paxton. And so it was really good show. And so I just happened to come through and I was like, Oh, let me watch that because I hadn’t seen it before. And yet, but just seeing the way those people lived, and you know, being self sufficient, because there’s just so many people now that you know, what happens like what happened back in 2020? It’s like, what happens if you can’t go down to the grocery store? What are people going to do because people aren’t, you know, grow in their stuff in The backyard, they’re not going out into the woods to get something to eat anymore. You know, so it’s, you know, there’s a lot of things where it can, you know, I think things can go really bad really quickly. You know, if if somebody decided it was time, so

Rusty Puttfark
yeah, that’s that’s, that’s interesting is I always ask myself Do I have a marketable skill that if electricity didn’t exist, I would still be able to do it. And I think I mean, as long as there’s a lawnmower or I guess electricity would have to power like a power tool or saw, but I mean, I you know, that place I’m in Georgia, I’ve kind of gotten pretty decent with carpentry and that kind of thing, or Bob Vila up there. I tried. I tried. I don’t have the plaid shirt like Alboran. Vela, but Right. I’m probably like, more like Tim Taylor screwing stuff up. Yeah, we’re having a good time do exactly have a great time doing it. But yeah, I mean, you have to think like, is there? Do I have a skill other than behind a computer because you have to?

Del Murphy
That’s, that’s what most of us do all days. We sit behind a computer and work on whatever it is that our profession is, you know, but it’s it’s all on a computer. So something to think about?

Rusty Puttfark
Got to get up and get active man. I’m on my 19th straight day at hitting all my goals.

Del Murphy
Are you really exercise stuff? Yeah, dude. So this was a couple of days ago, or maybe three days ago, I decided, yeah, it was like a Monday, I was like, I’m gonna start doing 10,000 steps. I did it on Monday and Tuesday. Today, my legs felt like they’re about to fall off. And I was like, Good Lord, I’ve been in so. So some, I guess something I got to build up to. Because I mean, they’re like, you know, walk into one of the best things you can do, you know, so I was like, they said, get eight to 10,000 steps. So I did that the first few days. But man, it’s uh, that’s not a joke this morning, when I woke up, you go in the mornings. So yeah, I mean, so like, I did do it in the morning, the other day. And then it’s just like, when I’m at work, like, I’ll just get up and walk around, like, I’ll just go 10 or 15 minutes, I’ll walk and then, you know, in the evenings, I may walk the neighborhood for just a little bit, you know, but just just to get to, you know, my 10,000 steps where I’m at, like, I’ve got a walk along ways. So it’s, you know, I can probably get about 5000 steps in a day, just doing my regular job just going in sitting down doing my stuff and walking around to lunch and things like that. But, you know, just trying to get those other 5000 steps and it makes a big difference. Whenever I went from the five to 6000 go into the 10,000 My legs told me there was a difference.

Rusty Puttfark
Man, I do not get up in the morning do that. Maybe I will now maybe I have more energy now. But I did on Easter though. I woke up like 5am released for some reason. And I went and I started walking the dogs man and the sun started coming up. So had a sunrise wall. It was amazing. It was just always

Del Murphy
amazing whenever you do it, and then you’re like, Man, I’m glad I did this. But then that next morning or the few mornings later, and then you’re like, Man, this bed is really?

Rusty Puttfark
No, yeah, well, we don’t care about that anymore. In Florida because it’s starting to get hot. It’s starting to get real hot. We had a couple of good days the weather. Yeah, got hot, quick. Something Bud Lights you drink lately?

Del Murphy
I would say negative three. I have I have not. And it’s it’s just it’s funny. You know, whether you go into the store or you talk to the bartender or whatever. And they tell you, you know that

Speaker 3
people just a real deal. It is it is a real people

Del Murphy
are really holding on to that right now. And so I know how much what was the valuation that they’ve lost 6 billion

Rusty Puttfark
at this point? Yeah, yeah, 6 billion. I know the Chris’s last week, went across the street. And I was texting you about that. Yeah. And because the guy that works there, and I asked him, it’s a pretty big sports bar. So I asked him like, and I didn’t know I didn’t know if this guy would like where he stood on this, right. And I asked him, I’m like, so how many Bud Lights if you serve like honest question, and he’s like, oh, man, you’re not gonna believe this. And he goes, nobody’s ordering it, except some sitting here. And then on the other side of the bar, two women in comfortable shoes go and sit down and they order one. The funniest thing is is the second beer they had was not a Bud Light. They probably this the first one they probably ever had to support the video, right? And then the next one was like ultra they went back to Ultra. They’re like, Oh, yeah, this is not good. That’s not gonna be That’s funny. But he said that he’s like, Oh, this is nuts. He goes very, very few times. If I pull that handle, and back then Yingling was going through the roof. And then he said we’ve gone through more kegs of Yingling than anything. And then they put out I don’t know if you saw they put out wheat. That was awesome. He just said you know, we were the oldest brewery in America. Yeah. And you know, we support our people and we make good beer. So it was kind of like a good slide at that. But I was proud of them for doing that because people just need to make products.

Del Murphy
You have to support stuff man. Why do we you know it? Whether it’s in sports, it’s like you know, back in The day, like we’ve never heard where what Michael Jordan supports, you know, like, he doesn’t come out because he’s not going to go against this or that, like, you know, and it’s like we turn on the TV, or for sports to USC as an escape, because we deal with that all day in real life. And it’s like, we’re watching sports, you know, or your product, you know, whether it’s the beer, or whatever it is, it’s like, that’s something that we’re purchasing, you know, it’s just an escape. It’s not they, you know, I need to know where you stand on this or that it’s like, why is it so important these days? To tell everybody where you stand on every single issue that comes out? It’s just, it’s not,

Rusty Puttfark
you imagine going to, to go buy a pair of underwear or something, and they got about split down the aisle. And here’s the ones that are conservative underwear. Here’s the one that support the LGBTQ RS TV over here. And you’re like, Yeah, I’m gonna, I’m gonna go with Right. Right? Yeah, that’s like, to me, you hurt yourself more than you help yourself.

Del Murphy
I just, I don’t know, the whole Bud Light thing. You just you don’t understand how, first of all, I still can’t believe they have fired whoever the marketing person was that came up with this. But second of all, like, how do you see your demographic and go? Yep, that’s, that’s what we’re gonna do. And it just doesn’t make any sense that because you’re, you’re isolating so much of the population that’s drinking, you know, your product, to try to go after probably less than 1% of the population, you know, to that try to market to those people. So yeah, it just doesn’t make any sense.

Rusty Puttfark
Well, you’ve, I mean, you’ve you’ve done stocks and all that. Yep. So when you look up a stock, you can see who the major investors are, right? The major investors on most all companies anymore are Vanguard, State Street and BlackRock. Most most everything right. Now, they’re big on ESG. You know, that is environmental, social governance. Okay. Yeah. So you have to have a score, and they give you a score based upon your environmental stuff, your social wokeness. And governance. I don’t even know what that even means. But I know the ES means and that’s enough. Yeah. But that company is the big investor in InBev, which is obviously cascades through they on 600 different beers or whatever. But it’s Anheuser Busch. Busch. Yeah. So, to me, when you have these companies that are big time on ESG, that’s what’s pushing it. And their profits are so spread, that if if literally, they lost every bit of shareholder value and Anheuser Busch, they have all this stuff over there that they just prop it up, and it’s never gonna go down. Yeah. But that’s what I encourage people to do is like, look at the major shareholders of any company, because I mean, when you look now, I was talking to a guy the other day, and that big explosion of that dairy farm that killed 18,000 cows, right, yeah. He said that he talked to his a friend up there. He’s a big cattle farmer, and this company called Eco lab was on site with other people. And he goes look up, or I looked up who the major shareholders were, of course, it’s Vanguard, of course, it’s a think we have is BlackRock. And in the top three is Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Now, let’s tie that back with what they’re really trying to do. He’s trying to put mRNA vaccine vaccinations into livestock and animals that produce milk that ultimately cascade down to the human right. So they’re there now Ecolab? Is there at that farm? Probably trying to capitalize on what happened. Again, there’s too many of these going on lately. coincidences? Yeah, to be a coincidence. So that’s the that’s, that’s crazy. But when you look at everything, it all boils down to ESG. And that’s something that I think I want to I want to look into and get a little bit more information more informed on because I think that’s that’d be a good topic to talk about. Yeah. Because it’s, it’s again, it’s I I’m a huge supporter of independent companies. Yingling is still a family owned and operated brewery. Yeah, thank God they didn’t sell out. Because I mean, when you when you think you like Toms toothpaste, right, right. They got bought out by Colgate or something, or Kellogg’s, or whoever it was. And they’re still acting like they’re, you know, this this thing? Yeah, a family company. They’re not brags, which may like holistic products, like apple cider vinegar, and amino acids and other stuff got bought out by one of these big actresses, who was bought out by another, but they’re still running under that same name. Right. But a lot of the people you could look up online like, yeah, this stuff’s changed a lot. Like we’ve bought this for decades. And now it’s, it’s quite different. Yeah. So there’s shifted everything, but it’s the facade of the labeling. That gets you to think you’re still bye If you know what you’re buying, so that’s the only thing I’d say I mean, boycotts only and I’m not, I don’t think I’m gonna push them yet, I certainly think it’d be good to support local businesses, because if not, it’s they’re gonna get consumed by one company that controls everything. And it’s all going to be run by ESG.

Del Murphy
Yeah, yeah. And I think I think like what you said, I think that’s probably the right thing. You know, the right point of what they’re trying to accomplish is trying to get that score higher, you know, so that, you know, they get the funding, you know, from these different companies that are worried about about that, that have the deep pockets, you know, that a Blackrock or Vanguard does. So that’s probably the probably the whole reason for doing it to where, you know, right now, this may be a drop in the bucket for them, you know, to where it’s like, okay, whatever, you know, because we’ve got this money that’s going to be coming in, so it’s not not a big deal.

Rusty Puttfark
So I don’t think they knew it’d be this.

Del Murphy
I don’t think they knew it’d be devastating this bad. Yeah. Yeah.

Rusty Puttfark
I mean, it’s legit. I mean, Ron DeSantis came out on if you saw what he, he said, they asked him and he’s like, yeah, he goes, it’s a slap in the face. He goes, I don’t like if you if people don’t push back, they’re gonna keep doing this. Right. And I mean, he’s dead on the money with that. And again, I’m not like for necessarily boycotts or whatever, but I’m for supporting what you like, and if they’re if a company that you’re supporting, you know, you can tell their liberal this that, you know, they’re I mean, you have to get products so we all have make concessions at some point. Yeah, but if they’re out there, just kicking you in the face, right. At some point, you’re gonna be like, No, I’m gonna go do something else. Yeah. And daily wire. They’ve been really proactive about this, because they Harry’s was a sponsor. And I’ve used Harry’s for forever. Yeah. They dropped Harry’s dropped daily wire. They’re like we’re not advertising with you anymore. I think. Michael Knowles said something about, you know, gay people or something. Harry’s went nuts. Well, Jeremy boring, who’s the owner of that spun up Jeremy’s razors to take Harry’s right on and it took a huge market share out. Then they just came out with like shampoo bodywash and conditioner and all these other things for men. I just spent 70 bucks last night. I’m like, because I was out of my last Harry’s. Yeah. So because I used to buy them in bulk. Because I just don’t want to buy him every time in the store. So I’m like, Okay, I’m gonna try it out. Why not? I mean, it had good stuff in it. It’s not like it was one of the lime and water or something like that with a cool American flag label on it. Yeah, if it sucks, I’m not gonna buy it. But I mean, it was good, good stuff. So it’s like, okay, cool. I’ll do that, you know, the unwell company, right? Let’s do Cuz why would you support a company that’s just actively giving your money to things that ultimately are destroying the values that we all believe in? Yeah, absolutely.

Del Murphy
Yeah. I mean, I agree. I mean, it’s hard to do the boycott thing on everything. Because, you know, you basically almost can’t live life, you know, if you said, you’re not going to support anything that supports, you know, stuff that you don’t agree with. But yeah, I mean, if somebody’s just pushed it in your face over and over again, that’s where you have to finally go, okay. Maybe move on from this and, and go go another direction. And at least that product, so. Yeah, it’ll, it’ll be interesting to see how some of these other companies, you know, now see what’s happened there. And if, you know, if they tried to follow suit, or if, you know, they said, you know, what, maybe we should rethink who we have as our as our spokespeople? You know, moving forward.

Rusty Puttfark
Maybe they’re going to AI and saying, is this a good idea in Hay House? Yeah, absolutely. It’s a good idea. Yeah, let’s write the copy for you. Right. Put this guy dude in a bathtub with blood. It’s just doesn’t make sense. Yeah. Doesn’t make sense. So yeah, your buddy Travis trip, man. He came out pretty good on that. Yeah,

Del Murphy
I saw him I saw a Kid Rock blowing up. Bud Lights. Yeah. And then there was another video and I don’t know who it was, but it was some guys and they had you know, one of those missions like a steamroller machine. Yeah. And they just had cases of Bud Light and I mean, just in the parking lot just running over on there just beer just flowing everywhere. So it was pretty hilarious. So yeah, I mean, it’s uh, it’s been pretty widespread people. People are not happy because

Rusty Puttfark
you see the picture of, I think it was Ted Lou. And Adam Schiff and two other guys, the most effeminate members of the Democratic Party and Congress as far own standing around literally in loafers. So when you say lighten your loafers literally loafers all hold Bud Lights. Oh, wow. And I can just imagine the CEO of Bud Light saying, if that one ad wasn’t bad enough, then you right because now it’s like you really you have all these people that are like showing their Bud Light and they’re just are those I mean, yeah, definitely turn it off your target audience and they’re not going to be longtime drinkers. Right? Like the right the lesbian at the bar, she had a Bud Light. And yeah, let’s go back to ultra whatever.

Del Murphy
It’d be interesting to see those guys. There’s the politicians like did they actually drink about like, There’s no way?

Rusty Puttfark
There’s no way or did they just have it for the I don’t know that I’ve ever had that one, but not intentional. It’s like, oh this like there’s just nothing else is there? Exactly, yeah. So I don’t know I just again I just just make a good product. I mean like work on your product, make a good product, sell it and embrace your customer. Well that’s it whatnot so don’t I mean, I don’t know. It’s crazy,

Del Murphy
crazy times. We got there from Ai.

Rusty Puttfark
We did. We did. That’s how it goes. We’re free. Thank you. We’re, we’re there’s no schedule. There’s no schedule. Awesome. Well, good. That’s good, man. Good times. How do you think playing this weekend?

Del Murphy
I’m actually going to Arizona, going to find out Arizona tomorrow to go see some friends and hang out for the weekend. So they used to live here. And so they moved out there eight to 10 years ago. And so I’ve been out once and so going back out and hanging out with them. So it should be should be a fun weekend. How about you?

Rusty Puttfark
I don’t know yet. I don’t know yet. I just I just know what I’m doing tomorrow. And that’s about it. But yeah, I saw that movie nefarious Steve dazes movie. Yeah. What do you think it was incredible. Incredible.

Del Murphy
Yeah, I told you that I was like, man, I was I was little worried about seeing it. Because I was like, I’m not big on horror movies. But you said that the the trailer is probably the scariest thing that’s on there that you know that it’s so. So yeah, I probably would encourage people because now I’m willing to go see it. Because before I was like, Ah, I think I met like, let you just see that one and tell the people what you think so. But now I think I’d be Well, no, it’s powerful.

Rusty Puttfark
I think I mean, you go online and read the reviews. And people are it just makes them think because you have to, you have to acknowledge that there’s good versus evil in the world anymore. And I think one of the one of the most and I you know, it’s not a spoiler or anything like that. But one of the most striking scenes when it was is the whole movie is based upon a psychologist that’s having to interview a serial killer before he’s executed, see if he’s insane or not. Yeah. And so this this guy’s demon possessed. And anyway, they have like a chaplain that walks in. And I think this is most powerful scene in the movie. Because when the chaplain walks in, the prisoner stands up and is like, really, really scared. Why are you here, that kind of thing. And then once he sees the impotence of this pastor, the pastor doesn’t believe in evil. The pastor is like one of these, you know, woke type people that he’s whatever, then Then the demon possessed guys like, yeah, I own you, too. And I think we’re seeing that a lot. I mean, and again, it’s it’s very interesting when that happens, because there’s just so much that I think we’re missing by not acknowledging in and operating in the power that we have. I mean, Jesus said, far better is that I go that you have the Holy Spirit that comes in to you and you do the things that I did, you will do them greater. How many times did Jesus operate in cast out evil spirits and demonic activity? We don’t even acknowledge it exists. And I think we’re accepting so much of it, that we’re allowing it to flourish. And like I said, Before, the atmosphere is just different now. Yeah. And so, again, I think I may do, actually, you ought to see it, we do a review on that, because I think it’s, I think it’s pretty good. And I’d encourage I definitely urge everyone to see it, because it’s, it really will make you think, and hopefully open your eyes and, and again, it’s just it’s one of those things that it’s, it’s very, very well written, the literally it takes place in a room. There’s two guys talking and that’s 90% of the movie. And to keep people on the edge of their seats with dialogue like that. The only other movie I’ve ever seen is the big kahuna that took place in a hotel room with Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito, phenomenal movie, some language in that phenomenal movie. I mean, just but you have to write incredible and compelling and captivating dialogue to make that happen. And this movie has it. I want to see it again. And I can’t wait till it comes out on DVD because I watch everything with subtitles on DVD. So streaming streaming, but I watched everything with subtitles Yeah, cuz I just you there’s so much more you capture in that. So that and plus we’re getting old man.

Del Murphy
This is true. I usually do subtitles as well. Because sometimes like what did they say? Yeah, they have that like and they were talking really fast there. So yeah.

Rusty Puttfark
Well have fun in Arizona. Man. Have fun and we’ll catch up again and we will be back next week. But until then, we hope everyone has a great week go see nefarious I think you’ll like it and email us and let you know or let us know What you think so until then I’ll talk to you later
