The ground just shifted beneath knowledge work. We open with AI agents that don’t stop at answers—they take actions. Think calling a bank and saying “transfer $100 to my daughter’s account,” then hearing the bot do the work. From there we zoom out: Apple’s late but massive push into AI data centers to revive Siri, the economics of a reported $2,000 AI-produced NBA ad, and the video-model arms race between Google’s VO3 and OpenAI’s Sora. Production costs are falling; taste, strategy, and story are now the real edge.

We get hands-on with tools that turn ideas into shipped prototypes in minutes. Bolt.new, lovable.dev, and firebase.studio scaffold projects, wire TypeScript and CSS, and deploy a working preview from a paragraph of instructions. If you’re a builder, this is nitro. If you’re not, it’s your on-ramp. We talk social AI features, the GPT-4 “warmth” vs GPT-5 “cold” debate, and the importance of staying in the loop even when models change personality. Then we face the risks: Anthropic’s report on AI being jailbroken into aiding cyberattacks, and why basic hygiene—strong passwords, “Have I Been Pwned,” disposable emails—still matters.

Careers and money get real. Our guest shares a candid path across Twitter, Amazon, and Google, plus a playbook for interviewing annually to stay sharp, finding mentors, and keeping a culture of learning. We dig into assets vs liabilities, investing offense over debt-only defense, and a simple acquisition tactic: host a short virtual show tailored to your offer, invite prospects as guests, build trust live, then convert. Along the way we hit device and platform news—iPhone repairability quirks, XR headsets, smart glasses, robo taxis—and even a cautionary note on humanoid robot safety. Robots are getting better at being robots; our job is to get better at being human.

If this got you thinking about your next move—career, security, or product—follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review with your favorite takeaway. Your feedback helps us keep the signal high and the noise low.

SPEAKER_10:

So AI agents are going to be the tool that a lot of companies are going to use to complement, and this is how I'm going to rephrase it, people's work and activities. But unfortunately, I'm going to tell you straight up, it's going to take a lot of people's jobs. And what I mean by that is that AI has gotten to a point where it's able to have an index of information about the company and answer any question that a person may have, but also take action on those things. For instance, sooner or later we are going to be, and we've actually had this before. You ever call in to um get some help with somebody or get help with the company? Let's say I'm calling like the bank, right? And I'm like, hey, um uh please give you your bank account number or give me some verification. And then this automated system comes on and says, Oh, can I help you? Press one if you need to hear your balance, press two if you need to do this, this, that, and this. Now, if you notice, most of those things are informational information they're gonna give you back. Like, give me my account balance or do this or not do this, but give me some more information. The AI agent is going to do that next step. Like, hey, um, for instance, me and my daughter have a bank account together where I send her college funds to. I can call this agent now and say, Hey agent, uh, can you transfer$100 from my personal account into my Tatiana's uh uh college fund account? And you'll hear the agent go in the background, do something, and it actually does that action. Instead of actually having to go to the bank, sign some papers, and say, Hey, I need to transfer money, or even go on my phone and click this button and click that, you are gonna have AI agents that are not gonna be just for informational purposes, but take actions and do certain things. Apple just recently announced that they're gonna be building AI data centers. They're like the last one joining this whole you know game that's been playing in terms of building infrastructure to support AI workloads and things like that. But they're finally moving into this realm by investing about a billion dollars, they say, uh, to go build out a reasonable size AI cluster, um, but its main reason for being built is to support Siri. And what that means to me is that they either thought they were gonna buy another company, uh, they thought they were gonna use services by other providers, like maybe running it in AWS or running it in Microsoft, and then they just found out, hey, we just got to build it ourselves because they are getting left behind in this um race to innovate on um innovate with uh with AI. Um, but in general, they are gonna be partnering with two manufacturers, uh Supermicro, which is a really cool company, and Dell. Everybody knows Dell. Dell is still in the game, stepping into a Dell. Yeah, yeah, man. They're actually really uh stepping up their game in terms of AI data center build-out. Um and the thing that I think that will kick the tires on this is how fast um Apple is gonna have to move to keep up with everybody. Um, I think they still have it locked in the market because uh there is this feature, and I don't want to say the word too loud because my phone might actually kick in. Is if you say uh hey Siri, right? Um, and when you say that, uh it's a trigger on your phone for it to actually trigger Siri, right? But guess what Apple's done on purpose is they disable that for anybody else. So you can't have easily accessible uh voice commands through Apple. You can only use it through Siri type stuff. And with them, you know, setting up this thing where they only them can do it, it actually creates this environment where we have to just sit back and wait for it to be invented. Um and that's probably the suckiest part of it. Um, but I do have some hopes for Apple. I got some colleagues that I used to work with at Twitter and work in the industry for a number of times that they all, you know, not all of them, but a lot of them work at Apple. Um some of them are actually working on some of this infrastructure that they're they're building out. Um and I definitely want to send y'all best of luck um telling y'all to iterate and go faster because I I feel like uh the momentum behind Apple um is is not in a good state right now, especially when they're only depending on phones. I mean, D Hustle reports every other week uh they're adding new you know patches to the operating system. Um and then the phones themselves haven't really been innovative more than when Steve Job was on the stage talking about an iPhone. Um, is if they do not keep up, um, I don't know how they'll be able to maintain that level of you know commitment. Oh, not commitment, but uh status in the tech industry, unless they really do dive deeper into there. Does that make sense, fellas? Yeah, yeah, man. So um Apple Apple's definitely been behind the curve on this. Uh, I think they've definitely been holding back, waiting to see how this technology will evolve, maybe even considering buying other companies. They got enough money. I mean, three, three, four trillion dollars, they can definitely go buy something off rip. Um, but I also read somewhere that they're gonna spend uh a total of$500 billion over five years, something similar to what the whole US government and um SoftBank and OpenAI are committed to because they have to make this investment. Um, and the real reason why I'm bringing this up in this tech talk portion is that if y'all didn't know, AI is gonna change the game and everybody's got to make some investments in it. If you are in graphics design or anything that's an artistic type thing, um your type of skill set is at risk to be overwritten by AI. Now, I I don't think that there will be like um how can I say an uh uh a world where we won't have humans create imagery and things like that, but I think that's gonna be stuff that's gonna be more expensive. Is like AI is gonna be able to generate all this stuff, but if it's AI, but if it's human generated, then there will be obviously a more higher cost for it. But the thing that I just want to let y'all know is that it is transitioning so quickly to AI being able to do this. And one of the barriers for building is understanding how to write code, right? And or how to develop and generate, you know, um an application that's you know usable, right? We can all create some real simple applications, but the ones that actually really usable, yeah, really want to be able to, you know, showcase it, right? So um I'm also a developer, I'm writing code all the time. Um, and what I've really noticed is that how AI has changed how I can prototype applications and programs or websites with just a simple sentence, a few sentences to describe what I want to do. And the tools that we're gonna talk about, there are three tools. Um, one of them is called bolt.new, that's b-o-l-t.new. The other one is called lovable.dev, that's l-o-v-a-b-l-e.dev, and then the newest one from Google called firebase.studio. All three of them I'm gonna drop in a Discord here so y'all can take a look at them. But the cool thing about these tools is that number one, you don't need to know how to write code, you don't need to even know how to read and change or look anything in code, but more specifically, these tools were designed to actually do all the initial work to setting up a project, configuring all the the right files, um, creating your your um CSS files, even using TypeScript as a programming language to create like the first framing around what it looks like, and then giving you a prototype, right? And then you can actually deploy the prototype so that people can access it and let you know if there's some things that they like or things that they don't like. Instagram has introduced some type of AI, a few AI features and functionality. Um, one of the ones I heard Dee Hustle just talking about uh is like helping you write and reply back to stuff. You seen that popped up a few times? Uh-huh. Yeah, have you used it yet? No. Would you use it? Uh yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah. I think I've seen it pop up in the uh DMs, right? In the DM section, and it has like the little meta AI help you draft, I guess, a respond back. Have you used it yet, Raymond?

SPEAKER_11:

No.

SPEAKER_10:

So can you elaborate on that? So this feature that Dee was bringing up or talking about was let's say that somebody DMs you, right? Um, and andor if you just think about texting, right? Somebody texts you, send you a message. Most of the times we have to come up and think about what we want to draft and put in there. But nowadays, AI is everywhere so that you can have it automatically generate a response for you. And then you just review it and you submit it. Now that same feature is available inside of IG DM's OpenAI. They've re recently released their latest model, uh, which is uh GPT-5. Um big shout outs to them for uh getting that out um pushed out. But they also, a week prior, released two open source models. So give them a round of applause for that too. Um and the reason why I'm really excited about this is number one, um, anytime we get an upgrade of the existing model, so we were on four for a good minute, I would say almost, I would say close to a year, I think, from when they first released uh GPT-4, and now we have GPT-5. Um, you know, I'm just excited that we're making these fast iterations so that we can see how this technology is evolving. And I do want to encourage you all to follow along. Now, if you are um not a user of ChatGPT or a user of any AI, I want to, you know, public service announcement, fire alarm, put put on the fire alarm. Like, I want y'all to hear this. Y'all need to be practicing and utilizing these services as much as possible. Some people are feeling like the newer version of Chat GPT just doesn't is not hitting like it was before, right? It says users form uh strong, uh positive emotional bonds to ChatGPT version 4.0, which is the older one, finding it that it was warm, supporting, and emotionally connecting, but they say that ChatGPT 5 is cold and unfriendly. Have y'all had that experience in terms of using the newer ChatGPT version 5?

SPEAKER_13:

Cold and unfriendly.

SPEAKER_10:

Yes. There's this new market that's coming to place where utilizing AI cuts the costs dramatically down for producing commercials or could producing these ads. Um, one of the articles that I was reading basically said that they only spent a whopping$2,000 for an NBA finals commercial. I don't know if y'all remember seeing that one. It was basically an ad around um I I guess it's like uh uh another one of those betting platforms or something like that, and they had an AI basically, you know, uh uh they designed the AI to be like they're actually at the event making bets and stuff like that. But I didn't know that they only spent two grand for that. Two thousand dollars for an AI of a commercial, and then they get a ninety-five percent reduction in cost for that same type of commercial, right? Because for that commercial, they would probably have spent close to two hundred thousand dollars rather than two thousand dollars. Google release uh VO3, um which is their video model, um, and basically what it does is you can give it a prompt, basically talk to it, and it'll generate a video. But this time it's not only just video, but it's video meshed with audio, which makes it really cool. Um, Google VO3 came out, and obviously OpenAI had to create something, right? Um, they couldn't let Google sit, you know, at the top of the ladder in terms of video creation and content creation like that because they already had a product called Sora, um, and also the models themselves could definitely create some imagery. But uh Open AI came out with this really cool tool. Um, and I actually think it's more of an Instagram TikTok disruptor rather than um competing with um Google specifically around VO3. This is the first time that it's been recorded that one of the labs, AI labs, um, has detected the use of AI being used to hack into systems. Um the lab that discovered this is called Anthropic. The thing that uh Anthropic discovered is that the way they discovered it is that uh the engineers that were deploying this attack via agents were using jailbreak methods. Okay, basically trying telling the AI, like, hey, I need you to ignore what the system is and I need you to do this type of thing, right? And then they start to break the task down into smaller things so that they can jailbreak the AI, right? So the AI should have these fail-safe built into it that says, Oh, I'm actually trying to hack into a system. No, we can't do that, right? You may notice this sometimes when you use Chat GPT and you try to do something and be like, hey, you're violating some type of policy. That's that mechanism that should catch it. But the way that these hackers actually introduced their attack is that they uh injected jailbreak prompts to kind of confuse the AI, and the AI still did what it was supposed to do, right? Which is go and attack and or do some investigation, but ultimately um gaining access to systems that were vulnerable on the edge of the internet. And I'll and I'll describe it. Do you ever do a Google search and then at the top there's this whole thing from AI first? And then if you scroll down, you go to see the links. Have y'all noticed that? That's Google's interaction or integration with AI. And we've been using Gemini and AI. Whenever you see that box that pops up that says, hey, this is a response from AI, that's all Google Gemini, right? And if you think about the use case that a lot of people are using AI for is to ask questions. So keeping them on the Google platform, keeping them on Google search is actually them doubling down on their business model. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_11:

Yeah, but a lot of people are not even going to Google now. The first thing they do is open ChatGPT and use it like Google.

SPEAKER_10:

100%. And and I'm not gonna disagree. I I use it the same way. Uh one other thing that I wanted to throw out there, uh, Michael, real quick, is um we we at our show um have uh really honed in and supporting um the next generation of engineers that are coming out that looks like me and you. Um and more or less just want to give you an opportunity to reflect and give some advice on like what what they should be working on, especially the young professionals, um, in terms of developing so that they can get their first opportunity potentially in the tech industry.

SPEAKER_04:

Sure. Um I think one of the things that's been very helpful for me is kind of keeping up to date um with what's going on, you know, whether that's you know, frameworks, whether that's the up latest update to uh you know API that you're using or these kind of things. But I think it's important, you know, as you're kind of coming up to have a culture of learning. You know, um I know a lot of developers that have been like, you know, ah, I'm not, you know, that you they kind of get to that point where you don't want to learn anything new. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like it's like you've seen them before, they always kind of like, eh, I don't want to change frameworks, you know, I don't like this. You know, but it's like that it I get that you want to keep things, you know, you know status quo. You don't want that's how you want to keep things from constantly changing. Because a lot of people get caught in that sort of like, oh, what's the next thing we can do? You know, what can we do? What can we do? Yeah. You know, particularly more junior engineers who are in senior positions. Yeah. But it's just a new toy that just came out.

SPEAKER_10:

Exactly.

SPEAKER_04:

So it's important, I think, to understand that and respect that, but also uh, you know, always be learning. Uh I think it's important. You know, I think as people of color, you know, look, I'm gonna say it like I was taught from a young age that I have to go, you know, twice as far to get half, you know, whatever you know, go on that one, that that statement, you know, how do you go? But um, so you're gonna have to be that. You know, people are gonna be looking at people with extra eyes, so you like you can't, you know, I think you gotta just keep keep yourself straight, yeah. You know, uh because otherwise people are gonna automatically put you in a box, you know. And I hate to say it, but like, but you have to kind of code switch. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10:

I mean the industry the industry unfortunately uh is making a shift back towards where that's gonna be norm, right? It was like diversity inclusion was really popping, really popping, and now uh companies are dropping diversity inclusion like it's nothing, and it's more or less gonna force us to have to do that code switching back to what it was. Can you remind me what you just said? You said something about assets and liability. Yeah. It landed with me. Well, how did you describe them both?

SPEAKER_05:

Well, I said that they were rich in assets and they were poor in bad liabilities.

SPEAKER_10:

Oh my gosh. Now, if if you are not listening to these concepts, you're gonna learn the difference between liabilities and assets. Yes. And let me tell you, most of us, unfortunately, fall in that category where we're liability up, right? But the mindset needs to shift to developing assets and making those assets get you those things that are considered liabilities so you can write them off and all kinds of stuff. But man, that that's definitely some great words of advice.

SPEAKER_05:

I love that. And that's one of the things that hold our community back. We feel like we've got to be debt-free before we start investing. Yeah. And spending all our time listening to Dave Ramsey and Susie Orman. And so while we're listening to Dave Ramsey and Susie Orman, the stock market's growing 300% from 2009 to 2022 or 2019. Yeah. So the whole point is you're paying debt. You should be basically paying offense and building up your wealth, wealth. Correct. Because if you do it right, your wealth can do the job of paying off your debt and provide you lifelong income. That's what's up. So as a community, that's one of the things we do wrong. We focus too much on defense and not enough on offense.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

And so all we do is end up basically, you know, paying back the colonizers and never basically freeing ourselves financially. So that's that's the one shift we have to make. And it's interesting because I I talk and I have a mentorship group called the Black Wealth Growth Challenge, where I teach people how to build wealth. And I've got a we for a whole long year we we we mentor. But one of the things that people struggle with is this my this this concept of like not paying off all their debt. Yeah. It's like they're they're they're so they're so spooked by debt, but they're not fired up enough about fired up enough about wealth. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

I do have my master's degree in blockchain and digital currency, first black woman in the world to hold that title. One of the major uh criticisms that I've heard about uh Bitcoin is that it's volatile, that it's too volatile. But you know, the I I invest based on data. And so the reason why most people can't stand the volatility is because emotionally they can't handle when it drops. But like right now, Bitcoin is down compared to 108. But it's all dependent by where you buy, right? Because if you would have bought two months ago, it was$68,000. If you would have bought last year, it was 40 something. If you'd have bought the year before, it was 24. So it's all relative to when you get in.

SPEAKER_03:

The cost of creating a world-class business has gone down so much, and AI is growing so much. And if you got chat GPT and a dream, you can build something.

SPEAKER_10:

That's what's up. That's a gym right there. If you got ChatGPT in a dream, you can build something. Yeah, for sure. And I think the thing that you're bringing to light is definitely the challenge that we're up against because our our culture, by nature, is innovative, right? We had to innovate to get through those tough times, right? It's like, yo, I don't want to carry that on my like what is the the donkey and horses there? Let's build something that carries. Like, we we are by nature already always thinking about being innovative. And I'm I'm hoping that hearing that mindset that you're helping develop uh gives them inspiration for them to actually pursue that.

SPEAKER_03:

Every single year, creativity becomes the only currency, right? Because in this world, again, ChatGPT, it can code for you. Right? We can build websites in days now, right? It's all the technical and expensive things are all taken care of, right? Amazon Web Services, everything. It's all that's left is the creativity. Yeah, and that's what we have.

SPEAKER_08:

This is a high-level strategy. What you can do is, and I actually recommend this on a virtual because I feel like it saves you time. You can build a virtual show 30 minutes max. It's up to you. I feel like 30 minutes is enough time. Build a virtual show around your offer. Give an example. We talked about real estate.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08:

Let's say you build like a home, a home buyer show, or maybe we call it the bogger's block. Welcome to the bogger's block. My name is Vernon Boyd. We bring on Potential home buyers or people that are interested in purchasing their first or second home, we answer all their questions and give them the state of the marketplace. That's the show. You're actually a realtor. You help people purchase homes. So now with that particular show, you're targeting people as guests that are interested in buying a home or that are interested in getting in buying home position.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08:

This is not a show you're like, I'm bringing on these guests. You're bringing on guests that are more likely to become a client. So now after the 30 minutes is over, you built no like trust. So you feel like you know this person. That person feels like you know them. You actually answered every single question that they had about the process. And then you probably baked in one, two, three, four questions to see if they would be a good fit for what you offer them if they can come on as a client.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08:

Podcast over, you chop it up, transition that into a client, or book a call so then you can transition to a client. Yeah. Now you have a client acquisition show. Ooh, the gym for that. Now guess what? You can still repurpose the content out there because it's a real show. Yeah. YouTube, all the audio platforms. Now the content that you put out there can now attract you more clients because I can now see, oh, Jane, she had questions about home buying. Yeah. That's me. Oh, let me, I want to, I want to either come on a show or no, I'm ready to buy a house. Because he answered all my questions. I didn't watch six episodes. Yeah. Let me work with you. That's what's up. Right? So you can build a client acquisition show. And if you do it virtual, you don't have to leave your house. You can do it wherever you want.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

The reason why I love the tech hustle and why I wanted to be on the podcast, because I see what Bobby brings to the table. Folks that come in, that's been there, done the journey, learn from them. Right. So get those types of insight, but then look at what resonate with you and what you can commit to as opposed to what everyone wants you to commit to, right? And that's what I would say. As far as if you have a desire for a specific field of interest, go and find yourself mentors. In my college years, in my professional years, if I go and I meet someone and there is a connection, like, wait, I could learn more from that person. I'm that person that says, hey, can you be my unofficial mentor? Is it okay if I check in with you every now and then? And I most times it's a positive reaction, right? So you can learn and glean from others. And then I would say if you've never done it and you think this is what you want to do, try it out, check it out, right? Figure out ways of how you could kind of tap in and see what would this mean for me and how can I do it. Yeah. Right. And leadership doesn't mean leadership doesn't equate to where you are on the ladder, right? Within an organization. Leadership means that you have the ability to take control of the things that you are meant to be in control of, to control how you react to certain things, and then how you embrace others around you, how you help them while you're looking for something for yourself. Because there's a lot of times that folks are like, well, until I get to this position, I can't help you. I can't. Leaders are born. We have this in hate ability because we are human, like human are relational, right? Yeah, yeah. And leaders are relational. So you can lead in your own right. Don't wait for perfect. Perfect will never come. So look for opportunities where you can share, right? But also going out and seeking those people and those things that could feed what you are meant to do as well. That's you taking leadership in your own life.

SPEAKER_06:

If you were a Twitter user, you never would have seen anything that we did. Basically, think about think about like a car, like the bottom of the car, the underneath the car. It holds everything up, but you don't see it. Yeah, it's not really. Yeah, if it breaks, you certainly notice. Uh but if it's everything's working perfectly, you you never notice. Yeah. And that was kind of like what core infrastructure was. It was um configuration for systems, it was addressing, it was DNS, it was access to machines, it was identity for very low-level, you know, very basic level machine access, that sort of stuff. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10:

Did you go through the Elon Musk uh cabal thingy?

SPEAKER_06:

Well, I left because of him. Ah. But I mean, Amazon had been coming after me for a while. You see that?

SPEAKER_10:

You're like Amazon was knocking at the door.

SPEAKER_06:

So I do this thing. I do this thing where I I I shouldn't say this, but I'll I'll say it anyway. Uh don't say it, we don't get you in trouble here. No, no, no, no, it's okay. My current employer I may not want to hear this, but I I usually interview for jobs every April, whether I'm looking or not. Okay. Just to kind of stay sharp. It's a gym right there, for sure.

SPEAKER_13:

My wife is the same thing.

SPEAKER_06:

Yeah, well, go ahead. So let me push it there. So uh so uh Amazon recruited me and I was like, I don't really want to work there, but I want to see what the interview's like. So I went and did the interview and they made me an offer. And I said, Well, that's that's great, thank you, but I'm gonna I'm gonna decline. Yeah. Um and so they kept calling me. He's like, your interview result is still good. We can make you can make you a different offer now. Are you interested now? And then I kept saying, No, I'm I'm happy at Twitter, thank you, but you know, I appreciate it, but no. Yeah, and then um it was about April or May of 2022, and Elon's rolling in, and uh Amazon calls me and they're like, This is literally the last day we can use your interview results. Yeah. So I was like, Yeah, uh sounds pretty good. I think it's timing is perfect, yeah, yeah. This this will work. And so um it turned out to just be lucky. Um I had kind of this escape hatch built in. I didn't plan it that way. Okay. Um it was just just to go see the ex have the experience of seeing what it's like at Amazon to interview there, and um turned out to really be a good thing for me. During that time. Yeah, I mean I didn't want to work for you on this. We don't need to get into that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That guy was bad news for the start.

SPEAKER_13:

Amazed how they still call you after a year has passed by. I didn't know they could still do that.

SPEAKER_06:

That that skills so I mean now I'm at Google and I didn't join Google right away either. Um I kind of sat on it for a while. And Google will still hire you if you pass an interview a year and a half after your interview, which is if you pass. Yeah. And so I got through and um I think I wound up joining about a year after the interview. Yeah, something like that.

SPEAKER_10:

Imagine that.

SPEAKER_06:

Yeah, so you never know. Congratulations on the city.

SPEAKER_10:

So you went from Google to Twitter to Amazon, back to Google.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah. No, when you go to college, you're gonna learn the basics, you're gonna learn the foundation. You're gonna it's gonna get you in the door. These days, I recommend kids or young, young people uh that want to get into tech, they're gonna have to have a degree. It's just so hard to not get a degree. I mean, I you could try the way that I did, but it took me a long time to get where I wanted to be. You know, and it it it took some pushing and and and some you know and some hustle. Some hustle. Yeah. I mean, some grit. You know, I had to take a step back to move forward. I had to, you know, I had to move around. I, you know, and and I didn't want to always do that. When I was at Intel in Cisco, I stayed a long time, six, seven years, you know. Uh my uncle was there for 30 years. I mean that's kind of unheard of, you know, uh these days. But um, you know, it's so it it it's um again, absolutely no regrets. I I learned a lot, um, and every position or every place that I've gone, I've learned to help me scale in the new role. Yeah. And that's all what it's about.

SPEAKER_09:

That in even just to get a job in these days, it's a tough economy, it's all about relationships. It's all about can you connect with people? So we need to focus on that skill. So the irony of it is that the robots are better than ever at being robots. So we need to get better at being human.

SPEAKER_10:

At being human.

SPEAKER_09:

We need to learn how to connect with each other, we need to learn how to love with love one another, and we need to learn how to build for one another.

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah, that's what's up, Daniel. And and big shout-outs to you on that.

SPEAKER_13:

Australian government uh devices all over a concern about Deep Seek, so they're abandoning Deep Seek from their platforms.

SPEAKER_10:

Wow. We over here reporting like everybody get on. And Dio's is like, guess what? Uh Australia said.

SPEAKER_13:

Australia said that they have a lot of concerns basically. Uh the article is basically saying the Albanese government is taking swift uh decisive action to protect Australians' nation security and nationals' interests. Yeah, yeah. Um, through, like you said, is mostly on through China. Yeah. So they are actually a little worried about their national security at risk.

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah. I wouldn't blame them. I mean, like, like we were well, like I was mentioned earlier, like there's two different ways you can run it. You can run it on the Jap Chinese, oh man, I almost put them on the water. The Chinese servers over there, or you can run it locally on your own computer, which is obviously more secure than releasing your data there. So um, I guess Australia's like, no, we're gonna block everybody.

SPEAKER_13:

Yep, and I guess they're having their discussion around because of TikTok that probably was gonna merge with Deep Seek as well. Really? So it's something to think about and look into.

SPEAKER_11:

Yeah, but then again, aren't they trying to sell TikTok to an American company?

SPEAKER_13:

So, yes, they are, but as of right now, if you guys don't know TikTok, you're not able to re-download it once you uninstall it, uninstall it from your phone. So, right now you can sell your phone if you have uh TikTok on there for at least up to$10,000 on eBay. Um, I think I'm gonna have to uh jump on that fucking day. You know, uh I can't uh the only bad issue for me is that whenever I go to TikTok, I would just have to uh open it up on my laptop, yeah, put post whatever I need to post. I just can't have it on my phone. Okay, you can't have the app. Yeah, once you uninstall it, you're not able to reinstall it back again.

SPEAKER_11:

That's crazy from both platforms, Android and Apple?

SPEAKER_13:

Yeah, damn. Okay, wow. Until it's sold to the American uh United States, it's Chinese all the way.

SPEAKER_11:

Yeah, it's crazy. Okay, I never downloaded it, so that's interesting.

SPEAKER_13:

Wow. You could have had some money, man. Oh man. Listen out.

SPEAKER_10:

You could have got your phone upgraded for a good reason. Uh that is wild. 10K. Yeah.

SPEAKER_13:

10K. 10K. If you don't got it, it is what it is.

SPEAKER_11:

Okay, but all right. But can you still use the app? Like if you have it right now and stuff, you can check it out. Yeah, definitely. Okay, you just can't read it.

SPEAKER_13:

Okay, you just can't uninstall it and reinstall it now. Yeah. Here's a scoop about iPhone 16. Now the teardown, basically, what they're doing now is telling you that this phone, you're able to tear it down and able to be replaced nicely and quickly promptly. Not like the 16 Pro and not like the 16 Pro Max. This 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max is a little bit more complicated. Yeah. But if you get something that's a little bit cheaper, which is the iPhone 16E, which starting off at$599 all the way up to$899, depending on the gigabytes that you buy, you're waiting. So I I I don't understand why they're showing us. This is my concern. Why are you showing me how to break down this phone that is an easy repair? So are you the iPhone people telling us not to get the Pro or the Max because it's gonna cost more out of your pocket? The 16E is the way to go.

SPEAKER_10:

That's a really good question. Um, I don't know how this became the the the big picture, right? That they can break. I mean, imagine if you bought a car, right? And the selling point of the car is that they can take it apart when it's broken. I don't understand it. I don't understand it. I don't get it.

SPEAKER_13:

Like it also has a video on there, also you can see basically how they tear it up, how easy it is to fix, and how easy it is to uh, you know. Is that what the E stands for?

SPEAKER_10:

Is E? Easy? I I guess. I guess I don't know what's going on with Apple. I I just I don't know.

SPEAKER_13:

I'm not trying to figure out, but there is a tear down uh bit by bit by I fix it um right there on a YouTube, you can able to see how you're able to uh, you know. Yeah. Now, this would be pretty cool if you're able to dismount the phone by yourself and upgrade it the way you want it. Facts, right? Like if you could put on a good chip in the way you want it, memory, I I'm all about it.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13:

Because then I don't have to buy a pro or or a max to make the phone the way I want it to be. Correct, correct. I is it a way to upgrade your memory just by inserting inserting a chip, inserting a camera lens, yeah, inserting ETC in the continuous, you know, et cetera, et cetera. Does it make sense? It totally makes sense to me. I feel good about that if I can do that. Yeah. But you never know, iPhone. I might come after you guys, you know what I'm saying? I might, you know.

SPEAKER_10:

You heard it first here. You heard it first. Modular iPhones, right? That actually is not a bad idea if you think about it. I mean, if if they're making it easy for disassemble, um, then it would be easier for us to do upgrades on it, too.

SPEAKER_13:

So there was the the MWC 2025 in Barcelona of the MWC basically is the Mobile World Congress of all these beautiful tech. Uh so basically I put here is a brand new look of the Samsung Android XR headset and the Galaxy S25 Edge. Are they still going in this market? They're still going in the market. They're going in there, um, which basically is the project Muhan. Muhan. If they're if I'm pronouncing it correctly here. Um, headset look pretty cool. Headset uh should be around two to three thousand dollars, which is better than the beautiful uh you know, Apple version pro. Who's gonna buy this stuff, bro? Uh, people who has um that's willing to do the gadgets. If I was in it the way I was before with phones, I probably would get it. Yeah. But again, um I've been seeing stuff here that people have been upgrading these headsets and the next year or two, they're coming out with the newer version. Yeah. The Apple wants to go ahead and bring the foldable phone.

SPEAKER_10:

They're bringing out the foldable phone.

SPEAKER_13:

They are bringing it. It's been a lot of leaks going on about it. Uh yeah. So the foldable phone looks like it's gonna be something that everybody's been looking for with a seven-point-inch screen, 5.5 inches external screen going on there with uh a beautiful uh news of yinkes, if I'm pronouncing that right, 112. Uh I'm not too sure it was a Korean um technology. Uh-huh. One and only CEO of Apple says he cares nothing less than building a breakout AR glasses before Meta. News Flash. It's already out. Facts, right? Uh so you guys, we had this conversation um, I think it was last podcast, how Apple's staying behind. I know you were talking about the subject about that. It seems like they're way behind uh and they are eager, extremely eager to get something out quickly. Yeah. Um Meta's stepping up their game, as you can see there, and that little icon there, that is going to be the new Meta. Um, how you call it? Um the it's called the Orion. Orion A Glass. Orion ER glasses that they're already trying to bring out. Um and I guess somebody has leaked it to Apple, and Apple said, We want that. Apple said, thank you so much. Apple being sued for five million dollars for not recovering their data after the iPhone theft. What? My man in the Minnesota is basically um suing Apple for falling, um, not doing enough for iPhone stolen, demanding access to two terabytes of data and at least five million dollars in damages. Uh my guy said, Listen, um, if my man uh Michael Matthews in Minnesota is suing, which uh I don't know, I'm sorry I didn't say his name earlier. But he said, Listen, um, you guys hurt me. You guys hurt my account, you guys hurt my credit. I need my money. Uh that's basically what's going on here. It is a lot, uh, it is very, very weird that people are suing Apple. Uh but my man is taking the shot as we speak.

SPEAKER_11:

Was he hacked or something or what?

SPEAKER_10:

So it sounds like he lost his phone. He tried to recover it, and the recovery didn't work. Correct. And he has two terabytes worth of data out there. Um, and he's like, yo, uh, I put my trust in you all to uh keep my stuff safe, and I can't even restore it. Um y'all gonna have to write me a check.

SPEAKER_13:

So basically what happens is uh of course Apple doesn't have the keys to interrupt uh and recover your your your data. Uh only your account recovery methods can be uh used uh in the data backup if you have access only. Meta has been stepping up their game. Meta sat, we have collabed with our famous Oakley glasses. Oakley glasses are up and running now. If I just send the picture up, and if you guys not see it, it is up there. If you can see with um the Oakley glasses, are they nice? Uh everybody has their own style. I don't like it. I like the Ray Bans, but it's$3.99. Smart glasses?

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah, smart glasses. Smart glasses, they look nice, bro. I mean, they look fashionable. I don't know if I'll be wearing them every day. Yeah, I don't know. Um like if I'm going out, maybe they could they could be rock. But they they look a little sporty too, huh?

SPEAKER_13:

A little sporty glasses. Um out there, um, they came out July 11th for uh$4.99, just the one that I showed you guys right now. But they're starting at$3.99, depending on what you have. Uh right now they are out in other major countries like US, Canada, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 22 years, Skype is going down. They're shutting it down. They're shutting Skype down? Yep. After 22 years. So Skype was basically uh since 2023 uh by a guy of Nicholas uh Zenstrom and Janus Friz uh basically started this service for offering phone calls and over the internet. Um in I think was 20 um hold on for a second. I think it was 2020. I'm 2005, I apologize. eBay uh bought them out for 2.6 billion. Uh and then sold the controlling for groups, for investors, and then sold it again in 2009. Wow. Um 2009 what happened was was bought by that beautiful Microsoft uh and Microsoft uh you know spent roughly four million users in the early 2000s to 36 million in 2023. But Microsoft says you guys can automatically migrate the chat and use to start using Teams now.

SPEAKER_10:

Ah yes, they do have Microsoft Teams.

SPEAKER_13:

This is a skydiver, our next subject dropped all of um dropped, did some skydiving like we did back in the days from 10,000 feet. He dropped his phone. He dropped his phone, he dropped his phone from skydiving. He forgot to zip it up, drops it. Funniest thing about it, he put his Apple tracer or location GPS, he found.

SPEAKER_02:

Wow.

SPEAKER_13:

He actually found the phone. Guess how the phone looked? How intact? Intact? What? No issues. What? Soft landing. Soft landing. You can see it there on the screen again when it landed on grass. I feel that that is a lie. Yeah. Maybe it was the case. So look, I want to shout out whoever made that case. For sure. I don't know if it's an auto box. You remember those things? Those things are destructive, man. Rugged. But I I guarantee you, if it landed on concrete, that phone would have been done.

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah, it would have been done.

SPEAKER_13:

After 30 years. AOL said it's done. AOL is shutting down? AL shutting down the internet service after 30 years. Wow. Yes, I am. You crushed?

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah. AOL. That was like one of my first uh ways of getting connected to the internet was through AOL. I don't know if y'all remember back in the days they used to send CDs to the house. Remember that? But uh a free CD, and then you get, you know, you install the application, um, and then it'll help you connect to the modem or you use it as a way to connect to the modem. AOL was the way that I got online.

SPEAKER_13:

Have you guys seen this humongous uh issue that's going on with the human humanoid robot lashes out uh while doing some safety uh rebooting. What? So I just put that there on Discord, not too sure if you guys see it or not. Yeah. Um basically what happened, they were doing some type of connectivity slash upgrades on the humanoid uh robot, and it decided to do its own type of kickboxing slash it it was dangerous from what they say. There's a little video if you scroll down to the bottom there, you can see here it goes rival. The lady in the background was uh aka shook. Wow. Um how this beautiful humanoid uh robot lost control. Uh so something to take a look at into there.

SPEAKER_10:

Why so what do what do y'all think about that? Like uh so that it's basically they have a robot that they quote unquote plug AI into it. Um they're doing some testing, and then that thing flips out. Um I I am definitely worried about uh like if you think about a software as a software engineer, you always know there's gonna be bugs, there's gonna be issues, there's gonna be you know times where things don't work as expected. Um but when it becomes like a humanoid that can karate chop you and almost like you know cut you in half, um I don't know how how how do we stay safe? How do we stay in the side of the side of the side?

SPEAKER_13:

Well, that's the thing that everybody was worried about. Imagine having a humanoid that's going crazy, you don't know how to turn it off, don't know how to do anything about that. Yeah. Uh that's all AI for you guys. The first flying car built in the United States has been producted and being done in Silicon Valley airports. Wow. If you guys don't know, now you know. It's been going on for a while, but it's finally up and running. So this car, beautiful flying car, will be 100% electric and a driving range of 200 miles and a flying range of 110 miles, which is going to be a Model A. This Kawasaki is a well-known uh bike. Yeah, motorcycle. Motorcycle, they do four-wheelers, they do all that. But Kawasaki has launched uh at the expo in Aquos, um Awasaka. Kawasaka. Uh revealed. Uh revealed a new four-legged vehicle. What? Uh looks like for a bike. It will be leased from what they're saying in 2050. Uh, it's something that you're able to ride like a motorcycle. I'm not too sure how you're gonna hold on to it uh from what I'm seeing here in the picture. Very different, very unique, uh, electric. Uh, four-legged. Yeah. Looks like uh an animal. I don't know if it's like a I don't know.

SPEAKER_10:

It looks like you're going the back of a uh like a lion or something.

SPEAKER_13:

It's weird for me. It's not you know, you can do night uh time rides, you can uh have the navigation help you do a beautiful adventures, go up, climb, uh gravity levels. Um it looks like a dog, personally to me. Um is mobility and maintain step uh balance and stability. Uh each leg in front made from slip resistant rubber. Interesting. You're able to, you know, illuminate far and see, you know, your whatever. I don't know. I I'm confused.

SPEAKER_10:

You know, I'm confused too the way that it looks AWS.

SPEAKER_13:

Yeah, yeah. Uh humongous. Humongous power outage. Yes. Uh that has been finally resolved. So long story short, here, uh AWS had a big humongous power outage starting at 80 at 3 a.m. um eastern time zone uh on all October 20th, which was yesterday. Yeah. Um only in the East Coast for Region 1. Um as right now from all bases, it was a long, long day for everybody who had their beautiful Amazon, Snapchat, DoorDash, Ring, 49, etc. I don't want to name all of them to him. Uh, but it's resolved now. Yeah, it took them until 6 o'clock p.m. Eastern Standard Time to get it up and running. So we got a new thing going on here. Core slash aka um the one and only Dakota, uh, which is a toilet health tracker. Bathroom, which is breaking internet. So the Dakota, so this is a decoder. Let me let me shout out to these people here. My type of uh decoder is a new toilet camera provides health inside based on your bathroom breaks. Wow. Uh now the only reason I am talking about this is because this is it it raises a lot of questions for me. Um which is a camera that they have that is pointing down to to measure your bowel slash your you know defecation as far as using the bathroom. Yeah. Now, this is an optical sensor that basically uh to monitor waste patterns, hydration levels, and possible signs of illness. All right. Uh they also have um uh the health app, of course, depending on the health app that you use, it goes from like what I was reading here, 56 uh 70 to$130 a year. All right. Um the camera focused downwards to help out for people who has, you know, for privacy issues, and it's monitored by fingerprint. So if anybody everybody cannot use it, it will have to be fingerprinted just to uh able to use it. Uh offered uh basically lets you know you know inside patterns and personal insights instead of you going to the doctor for doing lab tests. So it's really cool uh for Carlos basically uh the coda system to help out, you know, for all the people who's having issues with their stomach. Yeah, it is six hundred dollars. Uh nothing wrong with it. Uh I like it. Uh I don't like that there's a camera involved. I think it just maybe they need to do something with maybe with just the sensors. Yeah. Um, but I just put it on there on Discord for you guys to see what it looks like. Amazon Zoom is offering free rides for Robo Taxi in San Francisco. Oh, so Waymo has a competition going on. I'll send the picture in um I see in the beautiful uh Discord. Yeah, looks very boxy. Yeah. You remember that um car uh Xbox Cube or or Yeah. Just look just almost exactly like it. Uh Amazon owns uh Zooks is offering free robo uh Robo Taxi rides to members in public in San Francisco for the first time. Uh they also have a program that allows riders who download the app. If you'll you guys want to go ahead and download the app, there are of course you have to be on the waiting list, but if you want to get in for free and provide a good feedback, yeah, they're promoting that also.

SPEAKER_11:

I think my family members are catching up on to me. Um, so hey dad, I'm getting these emails and stuff. I never signed up for this stuff. Uh-huh. I've given a similar nugget before, like I've used all of my family members' emails addresses for certain apps, and it's gotten to the point where they caught on now. So I have a utility to recommend, and I'm not using my family members' email addresses anymore. There's a 10-minute email address website. So if you're in situations like myself, you're tired of using people's emails addresses. This is a 10-minute email address that, you know, makes an email address for you that will dispose in 10 minutes. So sometimes you don't want to give out your personal email or your family members' email addresses like I've been doing. Utilize this site, it will give you an email address. You just copy the clipboard. You need another email, just click on reset, and you'll get a new email address that self-destructs in 10 minutes.

SPEAKER_10:

I think I've seen you post something about this before. I posted a different one. This is a different one. Yeah.

SPEAKER_11:

Have you been pawned? Have you been pawned? Yeah. So basically it was invented by this security expert called um Troy Hunt. So it's pretty cool. Basically, Bobby, do me an example. Put my I'm gonna put my email address. Okay, go ahead, you can put your email in there. So it will show you if your email address or password has been compromised. So what you want is you want the site to say green that you have not been pawned. But if it does do a red and it shows that you've been pawned, that's very bad, Bobby D's. So basically what the site does is it shows if your email is red. So Bobby D's is red, and what it does is it shows you the different sites that your password has been compromised, and you definitely should strongly recommend changing.

SPEAKER_10:

2016 LinkedIn, 2012 Dropbox. Oof. Hold on.

SPEAKER_13:

This has been pawned since 2016. We haven't done nothing yet.

SPEAKER_11:

No, but I mean mine's is as well. The only one that has not been pawned is my Tech Hustle email, obviously, because you know that was clean because I checked that this morning. But yeah, don't feel bad. My uh personal email has been pawned as well. Not as many sites as Bobby D. Yeah, and I only had three, so this is very alarming. Yes, Park Mobile looks like it had a vulnerability. Very, very alarming. That's uh very bad. You better get some of the stuff checked out here, Bobby D. So, but yeah, if you don't have an Apple phone or whatever, I don't know if Samsung does this, but just a cool site to let you know if your password or email address has been compromised and you should strongly go and change.

SPEAKER_10:

I would say not that it's compromised, but that the that it's been included in a leak uh so that people have your pat your email address and potentially your password. So cash. You should update it. Yeah, you should definitely update it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_11:

Notebook LM. Uh it's from Google. Really, really cool too. I was trying to tell my son about it too. So it's another note type taking tool, but it's a little bit different. So what it does is like it takes all of your notes, like however you have your notes, if you've got them written down, if you got them electronically, or you know, you just upload all of your notes, whether it's a text, whether it's a PDF or a Word document. You can even upload websites in here and audio files. And what it does is the AI composes it and it just like kind of transcribes your notes for you. It's pretty cool. It can make like a study guide for you, it could make a cheat sheet for you, like um, like I was trying to tell my son, you know, because he's really bad at taking notes. I'm like, hey, check this tool out, write your notes on, and this thing can make like a study guide, a cheat sheet. It's pretty cool. And then the really, really best feature that I like about it is you could take all of your notes, you could put any type of text on here, and you can convert it to an audio. There's an app. This thing's been out for multiple years. They have a website as well. It's called runp.com.

SPEAKER_10:

Runp.com.

SPEAKER_11:

Runp.com. I just dropped it into the chat here, and what it does is it's fantastic. I went to the movies this weekend, I'll tell you the movie that I watched, I'll let you know if I recommend it or not. But this app, what it does is it gives you certain times that you can go to the bathroom on scenes of a movie and you're not gonna miss much. So if you're preparing to go watch a movie and you need to go use the bathroom, you put the movie in to this app and it tells you, hey, on this certain time, uh-huh, you can go to the bathroom and you're not gonna miss a lot. I'm not exaggerating. This is fantastic if you're a big movie person like I am. If you're not, whatever, but I personally hate it when I have to get up and go to the bathroom and ask my son, did I miss anything good? And if something was good and I missed it, and he's like, Oh, you didn't miss it, and then I gotta go back. But yeah, I think this is a very important app, one of the most important that's been created in the history of mankind. So, what should I read next? For you avid readers like D Hustle and Bobby D. You um go to this site and you basically what you do is you can type in a book that you read, or you could put in the author, and it will give you suggestions on what your next read is. It is called How Secure is My Password. Oh, if you drop in this pass this utility here, like D Hustle was saying, I'm gonna go ahead and type in a password called 123456. And if you launch this site, it will tell you how quickly a computer can crack your password. I put in one, two, three, four, five, six, and it says your password would be cracked instantly. Wow. For example, if I put in my password that I use every day on multiple sites and stuff like that, just don't say it out loud, right?

SPEAKER_10:

Of course. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_11:

Just to see how secure it is. According to how secure my password is, it says a computer would take 15 billion years to crack my password. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10:

So I'm just curious, how long would it take to see my longest password that I have that I used to use? Uh it says two point two trillion years. It would take a computer two trillion years to crack your password.

SPEAKER_11:

That's impressive.

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13:

And this one says 400 years to crack my password. 400 years? Okay. I kind of find that a lie.

SPEAKER_11:

I'm gonna drop a gem in here for the folks like the hustle in here. It's kind of a weird website. I can't even pronounce this on what the hell it is.

SPEAKER_10:

How do you pronounce it?

SPEAKER_11:

Tmee.com? Kill me? I have no idea.

SPEAKER_10:

But so www.ti.me. Right? Yeah. Gotcha. I guess.

SPEAKER_11:

So bring this site up. I think it's interesting. So, for example, bring this site up. There's a show that I'm also going to recommend on Apple TV. Shout out to Apple TV. They are just killing it. So I just watched this show over several weeks. It's called Smoke. So if you bring up this website and they have a search bar and you type in a show. So, for example, if I type in Smoke, which is an Apple TV show that just came out a month or two ago, and you do a search, it will tell you how long it will take you to binge watch the show. The show's only one season, and it tells me that it will take me seven hours and forty-eight minutes to binge smoke. And this is a double whammy. If you are interested in watching a great show, smoke on Apple TV. I highly recommend it. Alternative two, if you want to launch it, and then I'll explain what it is. So we're always looking for alternatives and software and stuff like that. If you launch this site, you can, for example, I'm in it right now. I'm gonna type in Adobe. And Adobe is very expensive. If you don't know, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Acrobat is very expensive. I'm gonna type in Adobe and it's gonna come up with Adobe Photoshop. And what this site does, it gives you alternative different softwares that you can use and apps and stuff like that. GIMP and GIMP, I think I've talked about this on our show before. I recommend it. GAMP is an open source software for doing photo editing and Photoshop and stuff like that. So alternative two, you can browse directly on the site, you can search for different alternatives. Um it's pretty cool. The only negative is you can't download the software directly from the site, you have to go to the manufacturer's site directly. There's this site called Missing Money. I'm sure you guys have heard of it. Uh every state in the United States has this if you are missing money. So what it does is you can go on here, launch on the site. I'm gonna go on here and you can type in your last name or your business name. For example, I'm gonna type in my last name, Simeleon, and I'm gonna put in my first name Raymond. So you do a search. You guys can try it out as well if you want the audience or whatever. And what it does is it does a query. You can narrow it down to the states, or you can just leave the query for states open, and it's gonna do a query amongst everywhere, and it's gonna see if you got any open money left. Basically, what this does is checks to see if you got like an FPL deposit that you didn't claim, or phone deposit, or even life insurance claims, whatever the case is, a deposit or nothing like that, and it's gonna come up. And I have a little claim button right here. It says, Whoa, Raymond, you got some unclaimed money. So you can kind of go into it, find your name, it might have an info button or it might have a claim button. But yeah, there's probably a lot of money you're missing on the table, guys. I knew someone that used this and they had collected up to$3,000. Wow.

SPEAKER_13:

Shout out to the real white guy who Mac and Claw for the Snapdragon contest. G Player. G player.

SPEAKER_11:

I gotta beef with this. What's that?

SPEAKER_13:

I would love to hear this. Hold on. Hold on. Let me get right here. Get comfortable, bro.

SPEAKER_11:

I gotta beef with this. That obviously, you know, the all-star festivities have been going downhill. It is very embarrassing that a white guy won this three years in a row on Black History Month. With that. It's just come on.

SPEAKER_12:

People's not standing up.

SPEAKER_11:

This is like a disgrace. Like the bat the Dunkin' contest used to be like the gym. It used to be like the highlight. This thing is like a joke now. And nothing offense to this guy. They have to go get away. I mean, but he's not even the NBA starter. He's from the G League. And he's a white guy. Even it's on Black History Monthly in the dunk contest.

SPEAKER_13:

Let me ask you a question.

SPEAKER_11:

This is a disgrace.

SPEAKER_13:

Why nobody else can match his ability?

SPEAKER_11:

They don't want to do it.

SPEAKER_13:

Why nobody else is able to dunk the way he's dunking?

SPEAKER_11:

I give a mad prompt.

SPEAKER_13:

Why all the all-stars, the real dunkers, are not in the all-star game. It's a disgrace.

SPEAKER_11:

It's a disgrace.

SPEAKER_13:

Thank you for fucking LeBron for that shit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_11:

You can't blame LeBron for that.

SPEAKER_13:

What the fuck? He's number one. Who else would he not be done? Not gonna fucking dunk?

SPEAKER_11:

There's a lot of people that don't dunk, though. That's I mean. And because he did it, guess who dunked the game following along? Oh, come on, guys. That's that's unfair. You're saying like no one's dunking, getting in the dunk contest because of LeBron?

SPEAKER_10:

Yes.

SPEAKER_11:

He sets the presidents.

SPEAKER_10:

If he's the number one leader, he sets the president.

SPEAKER_11:

What about Giannis? What about like all the other people that have been hurt? They don't have to. They don't have to.

SPEAKER_10:

They don't have to? No.

SPEAKER_11:

Okay. No. Alright. What about John Moran? None of these guys want to do it.

SPEAKER_10:

Like, I'm saying it's an all-star game. It's supposed to be the best of the best. Okay. The best of the best are sitting out for one of the best of the best marks in terms of the dunk contest. Ever since I started to hear that the superstars are not in the dunk contest, I've stopped watching that shit. Of course. 100%. Because of LeBron. He set president. He set president.

SPEAKER_11:

Okay. No, it hasn't been. The last time it was good was probably what, Dwight Howard, maybe? Oh, hell no. Well, okay, a little bit after that? I mean, I don't know. So, yeah, no, you can't put that on LeBron.

SPEAKER_10:

What do you mean? If he's like the number one player and he's not showing up, what do you think the number two player would be?

SPEAKER_11:

Now, there's been like other people who's gone in the dunk contest.

SPEAKER_13:

Let me ask you a question. What is LeBron so afraid of in the dunk contest? Doesn't he slam with authority?

SPEAKER_11:

Okay, what about the other stars that don't know?

SPEAKER_13:

We're gonna get there. Don't worry about it. I want I want LeBron. This is who I want is LeBron.

SPEAKER_10:

He's been wanting LeBron since day one.

SPEAKER_13:

R and you was I mean, shout out to LeBron, one of the last players that came out from not going to college, high school, straight to the pros, coming in. Shout out to that. After that, let me ask you a question, LeBron. What are you afraid of in the dunk contest? I mean, he's too old now. Fuck the numbers.

SPEAKER_11:

Yeah, he should have gotten to it when he first came in, but facts.

SPEAKER_13:

I mean, what were you afraid of? That people's not gonna like your fucking dunk? It's okay.

SPEAKER_11:

Yeah, I mean, good.

SPEAKER_13:

Come back next year.

unknown:

I mean, come on.

SPEAKER_13:

That's Greg Griffin didn't fucking win, but he came back again. Yeah. Zach Levine didn't fucking do her won one time and came back again and didn't lose and lost. This is life, bro. So you telling me you go to a dunk contest and you lose, you afraid what your reputation's gonna be? It's all about reputation, bro. Let's let's be realistic here. You're scared to be in a fucking dunk contest, or you don't have the fucking moves. Oh damn, you calling them out.

SPEAKER_10:

Your ability is great.

SPEAKER_13:

Your vertical is great.

SPEAKER_10:

Like I see his head almost hit the top of the thing when he when he dunked.

SPEAKER_13:

But you don't got skills to make a dunk contest? Nate Robinson fucking did a dunk contest, and that nigga is a nobody.

unknown:

Okay.

SPEAKER_13:

A nobody. And you telling me LeBron can't fucking do that? Come on, man. That's a lot of I don't respect the guy like that, man. Jordan did it.

SPEAKER_11:

We you gotta single out every star that's never done it. You just can't single out.

SPEAKER_13:

No, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go to all these other stars. Uh Anthony Edwards, I'm very disappointed that he didn't did not get nominated for the pla uh for the All-Stars. For the All-Stars in the beginning. John Moran, where the fuck you at? So you see Mac McCollin all of a sudden now, and now you want to tweet, I think I'm gonna have to join next year, or is that just fucking for hype? He's been holding this on his chest for a minute, yeah.

SPEAKER_11:

How would you fix the dunk contest if you were the NBA commissioner?

SPEAKER_13:

If I was that dunk contest, first of all, number one, it's all about um if you want to play or not. Okay? If everybody has said, perfect example, if everybody, you know how you have to, you know, have to be nominated, yada, yada, yada. If you're nominated and you be like, okay, I'm giving you you have to be in a dunk contest, okay. I would if everybody wants to see you, yes, you have the opportunity to do it. But I will suspend you, bro. If if you if you didn't participate. If you didn't participate.

SPEAKER_11:

Okay.

SPEAKER_13:

Like, first of all, number one, a lot of people, a lot of kids are in this in this freaking um arena to watch who they want to be. The best how they idolize. Yeah. This is who I want to be when I grow up. For you not to show up on a dunk contest because they nominated you. I so you care about yourself?

SPEAKER_12:

There's been a lot of shit going on in Balabron. The truth is coming now. He's been a couple liars. Stephen A's playing dirty. Uh hey, shout out to my man.

SPEAKER_11:

Yes! And he didn't go to D-Wade's uh session. I'm like, dang. Stephen A's going dirty. Is he a friend? Yeah, Stephen A's going dirty. Is he a friend? Yeah, I mean, I don't know. We don't know if this is true or not. What do you mean you don't know if it's true? We don't know. Come on, man. There's no way he didn't go to Kobe's funeral.

SPEAKER_10:

If somebody's calling it out.

SPEAKER_11:

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_10:

They were there, they didn't see him. I mean, I don't know. But yeah.

SPEAKER_11:

You can't miss it. If that's true, then yeah, I don't know. He's like 7'10. You can't miss him. Yeah, I don't know. So we'll see. So, but yeah, no, they're both playing dirty. So, but yeah.

SPEAKER_13:

So I understand maybe maybe he's talking shit, but maybe not. But uh, nobody else has not said anything else about it.

SPEAKER_11:

That's true. Yeah, I haven't heard anyone step up and say, hey, LeBron was there at the funeral and stuff like that. So yeah, this is uh maybe it's true. So I I feel it's true. I st I I think that LeBron has no shot because this is Stephen A is like the goat of media. He can keep doing this. LeBron has like one more year. So like LeBron, fall back. Like, you're gonna lose this. Yeah. You're telling LeBron to fall back? This guy is like, I'm just saying, Stephen A is on TV, he's gotten the podcast. Like he's gonna like and they're he's running out of games. Yeah, season's almost done. That's what I'm saying. LeBron has maybe one more year, like you're gonna lose this. So, but yeah, that's just my take.

SPEAKER_13:

I do believe that he did not go to Dwayne Wade's Remorial Hall of Fame inducting, inducting, which was really sad because if it wasn't for Dwayne Wade, he would have not died a chip.

SPEAKER_11:

Yeah, that's crazy, if that's true. So I'm I don't know why we're just not hearing about it.

SPEAKER_10:

So I mean, they they they boys, so they kind of brushed it on the rug, but it definitely would have me feeling some type of thing. It is what it is. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_13:

We're taking shots. Yeah, I think this is the real deal.

SPEAKER_11:

Yeah, I mean, but but this is your king. But but I will say get us to number three or number two. That's all I care about. I'm feeling good right now. Three or number two, that's what we said. We got seven games left. If they can win five and we get up to number three, that's all I care about. So that's also the other teams I'm doing. We would avoid Denver and OKC until like the championship. You ain't gonna get out of the first round. Uh we can oh, come on. That's crazy. All right, we're playing really good right now, D. Come on. That's without LeBron? What do you mean without LeBron? LeBron's gonna get his offensive mojo back. He's getting he only has seven games. Okay, he's got seven games to get back. Like, but he has to win five of those seven. We gotta win five of the seven to get to number three, and then that's all I care about. We just need to get to number three. We can beat anybody in one game, seven games, I don't know about.

SPEAKER_13:

That's all I'm saying. Listen, I'm gonna let you know right now, there's no way that you guys are gonna beat Denver.

SPEAKER_11:

If we get to the championship, if we get to number three, let me help you out.

SPEAKER_13:

Number one is gonna play number six, which is gonna be right, if you look at it right here, is gonna be Golden State. All right, Houston is gonna play Memphis.

SPEAKER_11:

Houston's overrated. Do you know they're not that good? We just beat them last night and I slept good. That was a great win last night. I slept good. You slept good? Yes. They're not, they're good on I mean, yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_10:

Battle of the Goats, stat for stat, LeBron versus MJ.

SPEAKER_11:

Jordan was playing with plumbers. Those guys were like, come on.

SPEAKER_10:

He was playing with who? Plumbers. What does that mean?

SPEAKER_11:

They're not athletic.

SPEAKER_10:

So hold on, hold on. During Jordan's era, he was playing plumbers, which means that they the players that they played against were not athletic.

SPEAKER_11:

Yes. He's not playing Steph Curry, he's not playing Kevin Durant. Uh-huh. He's not playing, you know, come on.

SPEAKER_13:

Those are people who just came out now. Uh, first of all, you had shooters like Larry Johnson, you had passers like Magic Johnson, you have all these other great players. Bill uh Bill Russell, Will Chamberlain, scoring the shoot from the paint. The reason I don't like LeBron as much is because number one, he says he wants to be like MJ. He says he's look like look up to MJ. He says he wants his number 23, then he changes because he wants to have the respect for 23, then he changes to his number six. Then he goes back, uh, you know what? I want to be like MJ so bad. Let me go back to number 23. Then he wants to do things like MJ does. But then when the ball is not the right time, the right shot, instead of taking the shot, he passes it. At the end of the day, you can't compare yourself and want to be somebody and be fear like somebody, but when the time comes to become the player, you back down. Don't say you want to become a fierce player, take the shit, take a phenomenal, be a phenomenal player, do all that, and when the time is all that, you fucking don't take accountability, you point the other direction. Don't do that. At the end of the day, if I want to be somebody, I have to emulate you. You know when you work in everybody here's an IT field. When you start, who do you want to emulate? Computer, credentials. You say Bobby D or Raymond. That means you have to be the same status, the same qualified, or whatever. If not, you're a gun. Don't say that you are. I'd rather you say, you know what, I try my best. I couldn't live up to his potential and let me step back and let me do my own destiny. But no, you want to continue, you want to say I am, I'm still here, I still am, and you're still changing stats. But instead of saying it's just it's just basketball, what no? It's totally a two different mentality. I'm not there to destroy you. I don't want I'm not here to be in your team. I don't want to play with Stephanie Curry. I want to go against Steph Curry, I want to dominate him, I want to put him in his misery. I want to say, I want his kids to say, I'm the best basketball player. I'm not gonna be saying I'm the goat. That's another thing. I don't say I'm a goat. None of the best players has ever said that they're the goat. The only one who ever done that was LeBron. And that's why you're getting a lot of heat on your ass. But you don't, again, you don't take accountability when you point at the fingers.
