A car you own shouldn’t feel like software you rent — yet here we are. We dive into Tesla’s decision to shift Full Self‑Driving from an up‑front buy to a $99/month subscription, break down what actually transfers on used Teslas, and run the numbers on when it might help or hurt your wallet. It’s not just about cost; it’s about control, value at resale, and how automakers use software toggles to push constant upgrades.

From there we go big and small: Samsung’s 130‑inch microLED showpiece is a wall of light with jaw‑dropping color and an equally jaw‑dropping price, while a new pair of AR smart glasses launches high and discounts fast. We compare them to Ray‑Ban Meta’s approach and talk about what really drives adoption — fit, fashion, options, and the ability to try before you buy. Along the way, we hit two screen-worthy picks: Daredevil Born Again’s new teaser, proving consistent release cadence keeps fans engaged, and Rip on Netflix, a lean Miami heist thriller with real-world roots.

Our favorite rabbit hole is agentic AI. We spotlight a rebranded always‑on desktop agent (formerly ClaudeBot, now Molt) that quietly handles your backlog: scanning email, drafting replies, booking travel, moving the mouse, editing sheets, even shipping simple code. Pair that with Promptly, a tool that turns vague ideas into crisp prompts, and you get a peek at work that happens while you sleep. This is where AI is headed — away from chat windows and into everyday workflows.

We wrap with quick-hit CES swag reviews, a useful smart plug, and a lively sports block covering NHL shifts, college hoops, boxing matchups, NFL picks, and a spicy Pro Bowl debate. If you’re tech-curious and value-savvy, this one’s for you. Listen, subscribe, and tell us: would you buy FSD outright or go subscription? Leave a review and share your take — we’ll feature our favorite replies next week.

SPEAKER_04:

So if you're trying to buy a Tesla with full self-driving, you better try to buy full self-driving now before February 14th. Because after February 14th, it's gonna switch to a subscription-based model, which is$99. F you Elon. The reason why they're doing this is Elon is trying to get a trillion dollar pay package.

SPEAKER_01:

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, D Hustle, we're we're over here chatting about tech current events. What you got on your list today, player?

SPEAKER_03:

So I have something here which is uh I do apologize, it is um not working very well for me here. What's that?

SPEAKER_01:

What's that?

SPEAKER_03:

Um Discord? The Discord.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, I know. Sometimes it's been acting up.

SPEAKER_03:

Uh I really wanted to give it to you guys on Discord so you guys can see a little bit more what's going on, but let's see. Hopefully uh does some of my Gyver stuff. Alright, fantastic. There he goes. So Samsung, shout out to Samsung. Samsung has the first 130-inch micro RGB TV. Next generation color with old design. First of all, 120 130-inch TV. That's a big TV. That's a huge TV. I don't even know where to put that at.

SPEAKER_01:

That's probably heavy too, right? Well, the way that they have it designed, it kind of looks uh it's definitely heavy, but they're designing in a way where it looks minimalist, per se, right? What do you think about it, Dean?

SPEAKER_03:

Um I I'm always good, I'm always up about big TVs, but this one here, I uh that takes I probably gonna take up my whole wall. Yeah. And you I probably have to cut the kitchen out to go outside to even see the TV.

SPEAKER_01:

It'll be an inside and outside TV at the same time.

SPEAKER_03:

Uh so this TV, man, it's uh it has a micro RBG TV with 100% BT, uh 2020 color coverage with glare-free technology. The brightest OLI AD panel, which comes with a 6k gram gaming monitor. 100 1040 Hz, dual monitors and glasses free for 6K3 gaming display.

SPEAKER_02:

Interesting, interesting.

SPEAKER_03:

Uh if you didn't see this in CES, I was very, very uh worried about you.

SPEAKER_01:

Did you see this? So I didn't see this specific one, but Samsung had something similar to it uh that were more panels. Don't you know like how they can make a TV, let's say 130, but they're little 19-inch panels and they stack up the panels on there to make it that big. I'm I'm I'm surprised I didn't see this one specifically, but definitely seen something like this with the panels. Um and I'm wondering if that's how they are able to get them this big is is you know breaking them up into smaller pieces and the panels.

SPEAKER_03:

But that's the thing, man. It's just it ha it has to be really, really thin.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_03:

For it to do that. But that looks like one of those boards that you know how you put up uh for the when you had kids, you put them up there, yeah, and then you put like a whole bunch of uh crayons or stuff, and then just have to like for a doodling doodling board so that they can just go do stuff. It looks just like a doodling board. Yeah so if I flip it over, does it it resets itself?

SPEAKER_01:

Definitely check the picture out in Discord, and I know our video guy would throw a picture up there for y'all to see it. Um, but yeah, this thing looks fire. I I think the design looks cool, it really looks minimal. Um, it's just how do you get this in your house? Like that's another thing. Yeah, I don't even know.

SPEAKER_03:

Everything. You have to do a step stool before you get into the house. I mean, this is the question that we need to figure out.

SPEAKER_01:

Dharma said we need to figure this out. It looks like it also has some AI features. You know how all these Ts.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, it has all that good stuff, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

But um But it it's kind of weird where tech is starting to just use AI and everything. So any new tech or even a device uh will have some AI features built into it. Um but I I like the slick look. Um, it would look amazing on your your wall. It won't definitely won't fit in my house for sure.

SPEAKER_03:

I mean, that's uh something weird for me.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, but you always like Samsung's too, right?

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, yeah. Big Samsung fan, but not at this price. Yeah. Well, what's the price at? Well, you don't even want to know. I'm not even gonna even yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Next topic.

SPEAKER_01:

Next topic. Yeah. Damn. It's not not something to add to my Christmas list next year. Nah. Nah. Not at all. I'll I'll have to wait for Black Friday and and every gift that I get for the whole year just to even think about it.

SPEAKER_03:

I mean, you're you're you're being charged really high. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

For this beautiful You think it's worth it for what the price is? I mean, I don't know what the price is, but I'm just asking you.

SPEAKER_03:

Um, I gotta see it in front. I gotta see it in person to tell you if it's true. Like, I mean, it looks good here, but when you go on their front, it looks like flimsy. Yeah, yeah. And it looks like one of those break easy.

SPEAKER_01:

They even call it a bold new design. So they're they're definitely stepping away from their norm. Okay. Um, and yeah, I'm also enjoying Sam. Sanson or Sony is usually the type of TVs I usually get. Um, so it's an interesting to see them innovate for sure. You sure? Until I see it face to face. I I'll take your card.

SPEAKER_03:

Okay. Well, I'm gonna give you a little price. Uh-huh. I want you to guess.

SPEAKER_01:

130? I would say between five to ten. Five thousand to ten thousand.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm gonna say eight thousand.

SPEAKER_03:

Eight thousand. Okay, well, let me break it down here. So the Samsung reveals the first one hundred and thirty-inch TV, and you're looking at approximately thirty to thirty-three thousand. Give that a wheel. Well no. Yeah, skip. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. No, no gracia. I'm wishing.

SPEAKER_01:

It's a dumb. All right, yeah, we'll we'll pass on that. I don't I don't know where we're gonna see it only on the showroom floor because it's not worth it. Not that price tag. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Uh so what I got next, you ladies and gentlemen, if you guys like the rebound glasses, there it's exactly what I was expecting. The competitor. Uh oh. Here he comes. The X for your first AR Virtual Smart Glasses uh was$549. Now it's not getting a lot of hits. Uh so they put the price down the first week of production for$449. So, congratulations to these smart virtual glasses. Uh-huh. But I'm sorry that you had to put your price down right away. Like, that's hard. Like, I don't want to stand just because it's not selling like you expected. I mean, at the end of the day, you need to give us some more besides it being the virtual uh ER glasses. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Um just looking at them, they don't even look fashionable.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_04:

At least the ray bands, they look good.

SPEAKER_01:

I mean, they look like they're just regular glasses, right? Correct. And this this has like two or three layers that kind of like tilt it a little bit to give you some view, but yeah. I don't I don't know how how you feel about the price tag, D.

SPEAKER_03:

Um for 400, I gotta see it.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah. My guy said I gotta say anything I'm spending over$100, I gotta touch it with my hands.

SPEAKER_03:

For real. So what I that's exactly what I did with my um meta glasses, medium glasses. I went there, I tried it on, I tried different things. I, you know, I did it over here with these. Where do you try them on?

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_03:

Where where can I go to uh, you know, touch the display model?

SPEAKER_02:

Correct.

SPEAKER_03:

You know, you don't even have that around. It's not even in Best Buy.

SPEAKER_02:

No, it's in Amazon. No.

SPEAKER_03:

So can't I I can't. I mean, I'll buy it. Just to review it. Just to review it and return it right back. Yeah, I feel you, I feel you. It's definitely not a problem, but it is what it is.

SPEAKER_01:

But but my other thing that you were talking about is price difference. Like, why why do you think companies do that? Because it's competition or because they can't sell it type shit?

SPEAKER_03:

Well, be be uh, you know what, guys, listen man, why don't you guys be smart like Ray Ban and Meta? At the end of the day, they have three different types of glasses. Yeah. Okay, you have your regular no your regular Joe Blo of freaking metal uh that comes with uh a green or black display. Yeah, all right? It's not transition, right? Then you have the one that goes into tran non to blue violet, which is a beautiful color. Yeah. I just didn't buy that one because they didn't have the transition on it. Then you have what I have, which is the transition that comes in that when the sun comes on, it goes on up, but it's not but then they have another model for people who want portal rise lenses. Yeah, that's an additional deal, that's fine, but you you get to pick and choose exactly what you want. And then for the people who wear glasses, they have a prescription. Yeah, yeah. So as you can see here, um X1 Real, whatever your name is, you see the different options that they have for customers can go and get and basically have what you want. Right. You only got one.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

I I need more.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah. And and then it gives people uh um the different price points, right? Because then it'll be like$2.99 and then the upper one is six, seven ninety nine, and then a middle one. But when you stuck like this, yeah, you you you're gonna have to adjust your mainline product um to compensate for the competition out there. Man, D Hustle, you over here making moves, bro. He's like, uh, if y'all need any advice about product sales, I'll let my guy D Hustle. Product development, product sales. If your baseball team ain't doing well, football team ain't doing well. Any advice, my my guy D Hustle got. Let me know. All right, play. Anything else?

SPEAKER_03:

That's all I got, ladies and gentlemen.

SPEAKER_01:

All right. Thank you so much for uh some tech tech stuff that are on these streets. Um, definitely some cool devices. Um, and it's always good to um check them out, you know, try them out. Um, and if you do have something that you want us to review, drop the comments in the link below. Uh, we'll definitely have D Hustle pull it up and give his honest, honest feedback. Oh, definitely. He said, I ain't buying that shit. All right, we got my guy Raymond. Don't call him Ray Ray up next. What's going on, my guy? What's up, gentlemen? What's up, player? All right. You gonna say hi to them? Audience, what's up?

SPEAKER_04:

Uh-uh. Um I always forget. Yeah, you always forget, but everybody notices your eye contact. What's going on, player? Yeah, what's up, everybody? Uh D Hustle should be very excited about this news here. And also the audience. This just dropped five hours ago, and I'm not joking. This is just absolute cinema. The teaser trailer just dropped five hours ago, ladies and gentlemen. Shout out to Marvel Entertainment, the second season for Daredevil Born Again. Oh. Coming out in March. And the teaser trailer, I'm like, like I said, it's just absolute cinema. If you've not watched it yet, yeah, watch it immediately. So, yeah. Um just dropped five hours ago, ladies and gentlemen. So what I love about what Marvel's doing is they're not doing this cute stuff like some of these other shows, like Severits, taking three years to drop one season. They're dropping seasons every year. The season dropped last year, season two's dropping the next year. I love this. Take notes, people. You don't have to take five years to drop a season, like you know, Game of Thrones and all these other shows trying to be cute. Every year, drop a season. Yeah. Like it's perfect. Like, come on. I love this.

SPEAKER_01:

But is it a new studio that owns Marvel now? Is that Disney owns Marvel?

SPEAKER_04:

So Disney is on a new hustle.

SPEAKER_01:

I mean to get to get more products out.

SPEAKER_04:

It's smart. You don't have to wait four years to drop a season. Like, it's just stupid.

SPEAKER_01:

Is it only gonna be on Disney Plus? Yes, it's on Disney Plus.

SPEAKER_04:

That's the hustle again, right? Uh I know The Hustle watches Daredevil Born Again. Have you seen it? No, I haven't. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

What kind of response is that? The Hustle, any thoughts?

SPEAKER_03:

I I gotta watch the trailer. I'm excited. It's a teaser, so it's a teaser, but that's funny. I I like Daredevil. I like the series. Um, I like what they've been doing for it.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, yeah. And he gave him a round of applause.

SPEAKER_03:

Did y'all hear that?

SPEAKER_04:

I I heard it. I heard it. I told you he was gonna like this, so yeah. Yeah, yeah. Let the devil out, people. Let the devil out. Wow. So yeah, he's he's coming back. So Daredevil season two born again. That's what's up, man. Yeah, go watch the trailer. All right. What else we got on the list, please? The next one here is give me a second here. We got some very bad news here for people who own Teslas like myself. This is just complete garbage, horse crap, what they're doing here. I'm gonna drop the uh article in here. But starting in February 14th, which is Valentine's Day, uh-huh, you will not be able to buy full self-driving. What? Why? So after February 14th, full self-driving is gonna convert to a subscription-based model where it's gonna be$99 a month. So if you're trying to buy a Tesla with full self-driving, you better try to buy full self-driving now before February the 14th. Because after February 14th, it's gonna switch to a subscription-based model, which is$99. F U Elon, this is horseshoe.

SPEAKER_03:

So then I get the whoop fan. Is that what he's trying to say?

SPEAKER_04:

It's it's it's crap. It's just BS. And what they're doing is like me, I got the full self-driving in my car. Yeah. Which, you know, it's you know.

SPEAKER_01:

Do you get grandfathered in?

SPEAKER_04:

I get grandfathered in. But if I go buy another Tesla or whatever, you gotta do a subscription base. Damn. It's bullshit. You can't transfer it or nothing. Damn. So it's just it's crap, man. Yeah. But the reason why they're doing this is Elon is trying to get a trillion dollar pay package. So if you change it to subscription base, his package will be more money. So he'll be able to get this trillion dollar base package.

SPEAKER_01:

What do you mean by trillion dollar base package?

SPEAKER_04:

Trying to get a trillion dollar pay package.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, oh, oh, oh. He's trying to get money out of Tesla. Yes. And the amount of about trillion dollars. And their way to find money is make people pay subscription.

SPEAKER_04:

Correct. Wow. And that'll get the shareholders whatever, and then so yeah, it's just not fair because like the people who bought FSD outright for$8,000 are pissed off. FSD is self-driving. Self-driving, yeah. So if you bought it for like$8,000 outright, and then now it's switching over to hold on a second, hold on a second.

SPEAKER_01:

I think I just heard what you said. So you're saying that before when you bought a Tesla to get the self-driving um component, you had to pay$8,000. Correct. Wow. And now they moved it from a flat fee of$8,000 to subscription$999.

SPEAKER_04:

I feel like on a budget, you got a car payment for$500. Now you got an extra hundred dollars you got to put on top of your budget. Like some people can't afford$100 is a lot of money. I'm sorry. That's crazy. But that's just crap, man. It's just it's bullshit what they're doing. So yeah, I just wanted to let the news out there. If you got a Tesla, be very mad. This is bullshit what they're doing. So yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

So question for you. So if I buy a car now, just an example. I know there's different options. You buy a car now, you're telling me that it doesn't come with self-driving. You have to add it as a package deal, correct? That's correct. Which is like 10 grand if I'm not mistaken. It's like$8,000. Okay. Uh and then once you buy that, you have that for forever. Okay. So when you buy a car now, instead of buying a package deal, it's a it's a thousand, just a hundred dollars, that's it?

SPEAKER_04:

After February 14th, you will only be able to do subscription.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. Which is how much of the subscription?

SPEAKER_04:

$99 a month.

SPEAKER_03:

It's just for the self-driving.

SPEAKER_04:

Yes.

SPEAKER_03:

So you don't have to buy a package to get that.

SPEAKER_04:

You won't be able to buy the package after February the 14th.

SPEAKER_01:

But there'd be some other stuff that you can you're not going to get to, right?

SPEAKER_04:

So let's yeah, it comes with like the auto steer, the autopilot.

SPEAKER_01:

So they're going to start to break down all of those features into subscriptions themselves. Yeah. So it's not just one, it's like all of those features are now subscription based on it.

SPEAKER_03:

But that's good. That's good because you don't have to some subscriptions, you some features you don't need in that$8,000.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, but you own it though, D. Like it's yours. Do you actually really own the Tesla? You own the subscription. It comes with the car. Yeah. Like it's like not fair. So you gotta pay a subscription forever now.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

I get it. You can turn it on and off. Maybe I don't want to use it this month, but it is in the long run, probably comes out cheaper, but it's not fair for all those people who bought it outright. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? The early adopters.

SPEAKER_01:

I mean, I I think I so the the the$8,000 and$10,000 is is usually been bundled into the price of the car.

SPEAKER_04:

It's only bundled into the higher end models. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, it's only bundled in the higher end models.

SPEAKER_04:

The other ones X and the Model S. They like up the price and they put that in there. Gotcha. All the other cars, you gotta buy that extra. FSD doesn't come with it.

SPEAKER_01:

I'm actually wondering if the lower models they were not buying it. And they were saying, hey, we're not buying it because we only want that feature.

SPEAKER_04:

And then for them to still get more customers to use that feature, they kind of But they were giving it for free for 30 days for you to try it out.

SPEAKER_01:

So it doesn't, it's just it's just greediness. I I I think it's a strategic move to get subscriptions for those that did not want to pay the 10 grand. I get that for that.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, you know, you see a big number like that, yeah, that would turn me off too.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, you would still get the why, but I just won't have the auto things.

SPEAKER_04:

But they still offer it for 30 days for free so you could try it out.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, I mean, but after I'm done trying it out, I still got a front ten thousand dollars eight to ten thousand dollars for it.

SPEAKER_04:

Right, I get it.$99 is a better number than$10,000.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah. And I and I guess what I'm getting to is it feels like they were losing customers for that product. So they say, hey, uh, instead of one price or one um um ticket price, we can actually get them on a subscription and then we can, you know, nitpick what they want. Because it's just it's just software, right? Yeah, it's just like enable disabled type stuff. Software. Yeah, it's crazy.

SPEAKER_03:

So if I buy a used Tesla that has that in there. I'm good.

SPEAKER_04:

You're good. That's what I did with my car. It came with it.

SPEAKER_01:

Like it was But now it won't grandfathering.

SPEAKER_04:

But let's say if you buy your car like the hustle says it comes with it, you're golden.

SPEAKER_01:

But after the date, if you sell your car to me and I get the car it's fine.

SPEAKER_04:

It comes if it if you bought it outright, it comes with that car. Those cars are going to be more valuable now.

SPEAKER_03:

So how would I know a car if the car came with it?

SPEAKER_04:

You just gotta ask them and they'll show you too. It'll show you in the like the serial number. Hey, this comes with full self-driving. Yeah. So in the computer.

SPEAKER_03:

So after February 14 and I decided to buy a used car that has it, I'm good. That's what you're saying. Yes. Okay. So there you go, people. If you want to buy a used Tesla, make sure you get on that.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, they're gonna be like going up the price now. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

I mean, that's also something that people have been complaining about is the dip in price, but now it actually brings it back up, especially if you had those features.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, but it's just it's BS, man. Yeah, I mean they what they really should do is put it, tie it to like your account, but they only tie it to the car. You can't transfer it or nothing. Yeah, it's all the Venom. Pretty bastards.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah. I mean, they knew what they were doing, bro. Yeah, they know what kind of hustle was coming up. So uh at the end of the day, they knew it was good. Um, I will say that if you are a Tesla owner, um, these type of changes you're just gonna have to be prepared for because like I was saying, like it's not like you gotta go add any hardware to your car to do any of these things, it's just a software, uh true or false, or switch on or off. And then something as easy as that actually becomes a new way for us to upsell you in the future.

SPEAKER_04:

So yeah, but they're still gonna try to upsell you because they're gonna tell you the computer is not strong enough. And then you gotta go upgrade the computer. That's what they're doing now. They want you to get the newer car because it has the new AI computer.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh yeah, you can't upgrade with uh like an older version with the newer computer?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, they'll just update the software to a certain extent.

SPEAKER_01:

So now it's like an iPhone.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, it's just like an iPhone, yeah. That's what they're doing now.

SPEAKER_03:

That's right, they're hanging out with each other, bro.

SPEAKER_04:

That's crazy. Yeah, like my car is uh AI4, they have they're on AI no, my car's an AI3, they're on AI4 now. And now Elon's trying to push you to get AI5. Duh.

SPEAKER_03:

So if you get AI, if you get so perfect example. So you get AI 5, you upgrade, you still have self-driving.

SPEAKER_01:

If you have AI5.

SPEAKER_04:

You get like the newer self self-driving software.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, you you'll actually be on an older software.

SPEAKER_04:

Because I'm on an older self-driving software.

SPEAKER_03:

So you're saying you still have it, but they stay, they won't upgrade you to uh you're passing Kirk Road and stuff, they just detect the stop sign type stuff.

SPEAKER_04:

Wow, that's crazy. Yeah, it won't detect stop signs.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, or or a name change, uh it won't merge the lane. Yeah, it won't detect what it's like. That's crazy. Yeah, it's they know what they're doing.

SPEAKER_04:

It's just like the iPhone, like the yourself said, or you said, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, they definitely know what they're doing. I mean, I don't know. I I've I've always wanted to Tesla. I I I told myself I wasn't gonna get one until Elon's gone. But now from the company. Like once the board kicks him out uh and he moves on, whatever, whatever. Yeah. Uh but until then I won't be buying one. But now it makes it even more that I'm not gonna get one because the business model, if you think about it, they're they're they're like um almost like getting you to buy it and get into it, and then they're starting to turn this, tweak this, turn this, tweak this, rather than like you said, when you buy the car, don't you own the car? Like, I own the car.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. So, but they're nickel and diamond, you know. That is wild.

SPEAKER_01:

So yeah, and it takes forever to get your car serviced.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, it's like a three-week wait. Yeah, so that's the bad news if you're a Tesla person out there.

SPEAKER_02:

So else you got playing.

SPEAKER_04:

Last one here, I want to recommend this movie here. This is based on a true event tier that happened in Miami. These guys, when they get together, they do not miss Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. If you have not watched Rip on Netflix. Ooh. Uh High Octane, uh Drug Bust. It's based out of Miami. Uh Draced on True Events, a$22 million drug bust. Um, just finished it. Great movie. Uh, that's my recommendation, so I won't keep it short. So I don't know if you guys have seen it.

SPEAKER_01:

I I've seen it. You seen it, D? Uh no. You haven't seen it? I would encourage a good watch. It's definitely a good one. That's what I hear. Um they gave it to Raymond, not for me. I'll give you one song.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay. I appreciate you. Appreciate you. So but yeah, Rip, check it out on Netflix. Shout out to those guys and shout out to Netflix.

SPEAKER_01:

Say it again. Seen it so well? Yeah, I've seen it. Actually, I saw it two nights ago on Sunday. Me and the wifey, it was on our list to watch. Um, and I was like, yo, I want to see some action pack, something, you know, that can get me. I don't like all those death and murder shows. I mean, we finished GY Finish Watch. What was that show you recommended last week? Her isn't hers. His and hers. I was like, oh my gosh, another. And then I saw this preview or just the clip of it, and I seen who was in it, Matt Damon and uh Ben Affleck. Yeah. Um and I was like, hold on a second. Uh the them two teaming up and they're on Netflix. I know they're gonna be cursing, shooting, and all kinds of stuff. Yeah, um, but yeah, I thought it was an amazing movie. And you're not lying, we just saw, I don't know, did you see on the news a few weeks ago um that they brought up that story on the house that they raided down in Miami Gardens, I think it is?

SPEAKER_04:

I didn't see it.

SPEAKER_01:

Um Pub Daddy? No, no. That's a different story. Um, but um this actually is based on a true story. I mean, obviously there are some animation. Yeah, I mean, not animation, but some fictitiousness added into it. But the rip itself, RIP, which I didn't really understand what rip meant. You know what rip meant? Uh, don't even remember. I don't I don't remember, but um um I I can't even think of it. But in general, it's actually based on a true story where they went into somebody's house. I'm not gonna give too much of a story away, and they found a very large sum of cash. And the way that they found it is the same way that they depicted in the movie, and it's like, dang, um, I know people are moving stuff, but I didn't know they were moving stuff like that. So it's definitely a good one. Um, and then there's a nice twist too. So keep keeping the ear out, listen to it, you gotta follow along. Um, but yeah, I'll give you I'll give you uh a good give them a round of applause from for me for two. Three for three today. Yeah, you you're three for three today. Okay. Thank you so much for Raymond's nuggets. Uh always appreciative of you uh uh getting um consistent with your delivery. Um and the audience, if y'all have some feedback, if y'all have any shows, if you have any movies, um websites, anything that you're looking for us to give you a solid review, my guy Raymond, don't call him Ray Ray. He said he's shooting 90%. We'll we'll we'll we'll let him believe. Yeah, it's 100%. I I mean in general, average, bro. Not not he's like talking about today's game. Um, but in general, if y'all do have something that y'all are interested in, the comments down there are the perfect place to throw in a movie or show. Or let's say that he missed one, because you know, sometimes, you know, there's some really good stuff out there. It's rare. Rare, you say? Yeah. Let's see, audience. Can y'all can y'all stand up, stand up to him on that? Um, but yeah, definitely want to encourage y'all to get active in the the descriptions or the comments below, and we're definitely looking forward to it. So, um, next up, uh, we got queued up for uh some tech insights. Cue up your music, player. Let me see what what you got in the list. Yep, maybe there we go. We got the old school joint coming up. So, for today's tech insights, I want to quickly talk about some AI stuff, and then we're gonna jump into some CES stuff that uh Raymond got, uh, which is some CS swag that I brought back for him. But um, you know, no last year we were focused on AI, and our show obviously is iterating, but there are times when I'm gonna definitely throw this on the table for y'all to check out. So there's this project that's been getting a lot of uh um uh momentum behind it. Actually, a few things have actually gone viral around it. Um the project is called ClawedBot, just like Claude Code, but ClawedBot at the end. But the cool thing about this new agentic agent is number one, it's a very simple interface, so anybody can learn it, right? Um, but the cool thing here is that it works autonomously, meaning that once you install it and you press run, it's just always going, always looking and always trying to do things that you have communicated with, plans and tasks that you've had assigned it, like check my email every 15 minutes and tell me if there's something important I come in. Or hey, uh if I do have an important email, draft me a response and then send me a message that there's an email waiting for me to approve. Or hey, um, I'm going on a trip uh next month to Baltimore. Um, can you, you know, keep an eye on my tickets for me and a price range of this? And when it's good, go ahead and buy the ticket for me. And the cool thing about this agentic agent is that it is so simple to use. So much so that I think this gives us a new insights in what it could look like for us to have agents that do work for us. Um, and what I mean by agents that do work for us, anything that can work on a computer, this thing can do it. From moving a mouse and clicking buttons to filling out a spreadsheet, looking at a spreadsheet, and actually giving you some analysis on it. Like it can operate as if it's actually a real person. So much so that when you first set it up, it says, Hey, can you give me a name? Right? And then, hey, I'm um you know what I'm gonna call mine. Mine's always gonna be called Jules, and then Jules itself is like, hey, so what do I do for you or tell me the things that you're interested in? And it does things automatically. Like one of the examples that I saw saw online was um somebody was just talking about it, talking to it about its next few days, right? Hey, I'm thinking about doing this, I'm thinking about doing that. These are things that I'm interested in. And then all of a sudden, the next day, without him asking the AI, the AI automatically had a daily brief that says, Hey, guess what we're gonna work on today? We're gonna work on this thing that you said was more important, and here goes my backlog of things that I can do. And then the other thing is that this agentec AI can write code. So the guy was like, Hey, actually, I need you to create a tip like a test website for me that does XYZ. That night he went to sleep. The next morning he wakes up, the website is there, ready, built, and ready to go. And it all runs locally on its own computer, which is what I always encourage. So if you do get a chance, I want you to check it out. It's called ClaudeBot. That's C-L-A-W-D.bot. And just so that y'all are aware, I just seen that there was an announcement that they're rebranding. Um, because if you didn't know, Claude is the same thing as Claude Code from Anthropic. Okay. So uh Anthropic may be uh sending some cease and assist in terms of letters about them using that name. Um, so keep an eye out for the rebranding, which they're gonna call it molt.bot. So M-O-L-T bot. So if y'all do see any of that on the internet, remember y'all heard it first, and I definitely want to encourage y'all to check it out, all right?

SPEAKER_03:

How long has Claude been out?

SPEAKER_01:

So Claude is, I would say Claude is about two and a half, three years old.

SPEAKER_03:

And do they know that Claude had a was a drink also?

SPEAKER_01:

What do you mean Claude was a drink? It's a drink?

SPEAKER_03:

Claude's a drink, also. Oh, I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_01:

So they may have already have some uh trademark challenges with the name Claude. Yes.

SPEAKER_03:

You know those claws that you guys drink? Um, you know, it's like one of those high noons, uh just like that.

SPEAKER_01:

It's called clawed, yeah. Yeah. I mean, this is the thing with choosing names, is sometimes if you do get a name that overlaps, um, we can send you a cease and assist, and then it's like, dang, I gotta rebrand everything. Um, but definitely check them out. Um, and also under their new branding, which is M-O-L-T-Bot, Moltbot. All right.

SPEAKER_03:

Um Whiteclaw.

SPEAKER_01:

Whiteclawed. Oh, okay. I got you, I got you. So we'll see. Maybe Anthropic could get a cease and assist from them. Yeah, you you send me one, I'm gonna get them to send you one. All right, the next thing that I want to definitely uh jump in and talk about is um uh Raymond uh got uh an opportunity to get some swag that I brought back from me from CES. Yeah, um so CS was about you know early uh early in January, um, and definitely uh a conference that I would encourage, especially if you're involved in technology and engineering, to go and check out because it's really, really changing even my mind on what we can create. Even D Hustle's reported a few times about the robotics that are coming out. Um, but one of the cool things that I ran into was a few software companies, especially AI specific software companies, but one of them had a piece of swag to to give me. So, uh what's what did they end up giving us, Raymond? What you got there?

SPEAKER_04:

Uh I got a wireless mouse pad which charges your phone. Uh-huh. And I could use it as a regular mouse. So basically, you could put any device that has the QI charging right here, and then I could just use the mouse. Ah, okay. So it's pretty cool, clean, no wires or nothing like that. I'll just have my phone right here drop, and then I got my mouse right there right by the computer. So it's pretty clean. And that oh, it just attaches. It just attaches just like that.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool. And and the company it itself is called Promptly. Uh, so it's P-R-O-M-P-T-L-Y, and their website is called Try Promptly.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Now, the cool thing about their product, um, did you get a chance to check out their product?

SPEAKER_04:

I did. So tell me about it. It's cool. I was using it the other day, so I could also you could charge your AirPods too, not just the phone. So any device that has the QA.

SPEAKER_01:

Hold on a second. Let's let me help you out because you probably didn't see Dia's about to go tuck it.

SPEAKER_04:

So yeah, um, your AirPods, which is nice. So if I'm at work listening to you know my AirPods, you know, podcast or whatever, I'll just put my AirPods down and my phone. Yeah. Nice and clean, and I don't have to do no wires. So yeah, it's it's pretty snazzy.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And and they that was one of the swags that they gave at the booth. So it's definitely something that um you probably wouldn't see normally out in the streets. Um, but the product itself is actually really cool too, because they actually help you write better prompts to AI. And what I mean by prompts is basically how you talk to AI. You know, when you put in the chat box, like, hey, can you go and write me a business plan about XYZ, right?

SPEAKER_00:

Right.

SPEAKER_01:

Um, what you do is you go to their website and you write that and then it'll tell you a different way to tell it to AI. It's like actually, what you should say, uh, you are a CEO for X Company. We are selling, like, it'll give you a better prompt for you to prompt AI. Um, and definitely want to encourage you all to go to their website. The website is called trypromptly.com. Um, and they'll definitely have a link in the description below to check it out. Um, now as D Hustle tucks uh the the the new mouse pad away, um there's a black version.

SPEAKER_03:

Go buy the black version.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah. It's a nice gift. So don't don't don't get that that one's already uh reserved. It's pretty snazzy. Thank you, sir. But yeah, big big shout-outs to them. Um and they got a few cool things going on. Um, and definitely want to encourage you all to check them out. Um, I'm dropping some links inside of Discord for you right now. Um, so check out promptly. Um, and yeah, we'll definitely have some more products that we'll be talking about from CES. Um yeah, that's all that I got, player. Yeah, okay. Thank you. Thank you so much for reviewing that. Sure. I'm taking a look at it. And as always, want to encourage you all to uh check out our Discord for the products. Uh definitely check the descriptions below because we'll have them listed there. What about the other products? Oh, you had two?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, I did. Oh, look at that. The um smart plug. So as well.

SPEAKER_01:

So I mean you didn't even take it the wrapper, like take it out of the wrapper, bro. You like ripped it open. I he said I gotta bring it to the office. I need to put it back in the original uh opening.

SPEAKER_04:

I got a smart plug, so it comes with the smart life app, which I already have. So it's pretty cool. So I just gotta figure out what I'm gonna use this for at the house. But yeah, thank you. I got the smart plug as well.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, I mean, you you already are uh what do you call it? Uh House of Internet of Things. And let me take a look at it.

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, so it's one of those programmable ones where you turn it off and on, but then you can do it uh through the app. And it talks to Google and uh Alexa. So made in China.

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Where does all our electronics? You guys have smart plugs? You guys use them? I I definitely use them and smart switches uh for lights on and off. Um, I'd also have a smart um what is a power strip? You ever seen a smart power strip and then each of the power strip units um are individual um devices on my um at home? Um but I like that one because it's just individual and looks like it's just a quick plug um barcode scan and you got it connected.

SPEAKER_04:

Thank you, sir.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, all right, all right. All right, sir. Well, thank you so much for uh giving us some new tech insights, um giving us some feedback on the product review. And don't forget to check out uh ClaudeBot, which is now rebranded to Maltbot, M-O-L-T bot, and then also uh promptly P-R-O-M-P-T-L-Y. And it's trypromptly.com to get better prompts. Alright. All right. So next up we got you, you know what's up next? Take a while, guess sports. Sports. It's definitely D Hustle's favorite intro.

You know, the US usually gets a little bit of taste in there, but uh Dominican Republic has been holding it down for a number of years, right?

SPEAKER_03:

Number of years, number of years, and now we're going to the NBA, ladies and gentlemen. NBA, a lot, a lot, a lot is going on in NBA, but a lot of stuff that you don't want to think that's going on. John Moran, big subject, about to get traded. We don't know where he's going, what team is going on. Uh Giannis is looking for a team also. The Giants, uh not Giants. Uh the Knicks trying to see if you can pick him up, get rid of KAT, but we don't know if we're gonna get rid of KAT.

SPEAKER_01:

But other than that, I mean what y'all talking about in the office over there and with the Giants. I mean I mean with the Knicks.

SPEAKER_03:

We trying to get rid of KAT. That's what y'all want? That's that's what they want. I don't know how many, how long does Gianni has, but we need a good sensor at the end of the day.

Let us know who's your favorite team, because I already told you it was my next what's yours. Yeah, yeah. NFL. Then and then and then, ladies and gentlemen, NFL. Let's get down to business. I my picks fucked up. Let's get that out the way. I was going for the Rams. Seattle came out and just took care of business. Yeah, Seattle wasn't playing. Not too sure what was going on over there in that organization. Uh, didn't understand uh Sam, uh, but now I do. So we'll figure that out. And then Patriots at the end of the end, Patriots are looking uh phenomenal. Uh Patriots and Seahawks, who do you guys got?

SPEAKER_01:

Uh Patriots against Seahawks. Um I think I'm gonna the way that the Patriots were running and dealing with the weather and all that stuff, I feel like they got a lot of spirit behind them. Um I haven't watched, obviously, all season. Y'all, y'all more versed on um um overall performance, but um if I did have the pick, I'll pick Patriots to win the chip.

SPEAKER_03:

It wouldn't be the first time you pick Patriots. Yo, here we go. Here we go, here we go.

SPEAKER_01:

So, yeah. So he's referencing back in the days when the Giants and Patriots were in the Super Bowl back to back. 2011. Just wanted to let you guys know what the year it was. Every time that situation happened, you know, I'm looking for um how can I say memories to be made it, right? That was one of those seasons where they were undefeated the whole season and they could have basically, you know, closed the book. And uh that was the one with the football hit the head and then he held it with his arm.

SPEAKER_03:

Yep. So yeah, that's respect the guy's name. Respect the guy's name.

SPEAKER_01:

So he just refashing my memory, but just letting y'all know. Flexical birds, yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Do you know the quarterback was there?

SPEAKER_01:

Uh wasn't it one of those Manning brothers? I don't know which one it was. It's one of the two of them. They're doing commercials now and stuff like that. Actually, they do a podcast, don't they? They do actually, I think they do live uh commentation of games too. Commentation. Yeah, yeah. I mean, they're they're doing amazing. I I'm a big shout out to both of them. I I I never knew that after the game of playing football that they would be able to stay in the light as much as they are. Uh big shout-outs to them.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, doing their thing. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Who are you going for? Patriots. I'm going for Patriots.

SPEAKER_04:

Uh because I'm a hater, I can't root for the Patriots. I'm rooting for Seattle.

SPEAKER_01:

You rooted for the Patriots the other day, bro. I don't think so. You don't think so? Oh no, you rooted for the Bills. That's what it was. Yeah, the Bills and Patriots. Yeah, it was. But you, yeah, I got you.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm just upset that the Patriots are right back in it, having a few down years with Brady being gone. They're right back in the mix. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

But I don't understand the issue.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, the question's up to you, so who you going for?

SPEAKER_03:

Me, I I'm I'm feeling good the way they uh Who's Day? The Patriots are going. I feel real good. I see my man Drake May doing powerful things. Uh, but again, my only issue is with Seattle is Sam and and S uh J SN. Uh once you pass this to him, it's a done deal, it's a problem. Uh it's it's it's uh my man is working. Yeah. My man is working, he's doing his moves. Uh Smith, I can't always say Smith Smith Smith Jigger. I always call him Smith nigger. I don't even bro, get the name right. Jackson uh hold on for a second.

SPEAKER_01:

My brother. That's who it is. My brother.

SPEAKER_03:

Jackson Smith Jibba. There we go. Jibba. Yeah, yeah. Uh they've been good. That's my nigga. Shout out to him. That's my guy.

SPEAKER_04:

Shout out to him all year. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, to him, but I don't know, man. I was very I was very confused because Cooper Cup uh didn't show up until fucking playoffs now.

SPEAKER_01:

So I'm not understanding why Yeah, I heard him say that his name a few times, yes, uh, over the highlights.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, he sucked in fantasy, but now all of a sudden he's catching shit.

SPEAKER_01:

This is this is uh the the coach. Uh actually, did we ever really talk about the results of fantasy for both of y'all? I think we actually skipped skimmed over it. So, Raymond Hunt, how'd you close out for the year? Uh I didn't make the playoffs. Alright, so you were done. You only had one? One fantasy football that you played in? I only had one league I was in. How about D?

SPEAKER_03:

You have a little fucking little chap in this bitch right here, kid. I got the belt, I got the thing. My money's already in my pocket. For real? Congratulations, man. Congratulations, man.

SPEAKER_01:

We didn't get a chance to celebrate. So you didn't pull it off, huh? And this is the one for the belt, right?

SPEAKER_03:

This is for the belt.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, you gotta bring it into the office to take a picture of it.

SPEAKER_03:

They didn't give me the belt, though. That's the only problem. What do you mean? Uh there's no belt.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, okay, okay. You got the championship, but you got the mark. I still won. I still won. I got you.

SPEAKER_03:

And then my other two leagues I lost. Uh I came in uh sixth place.

SPEAKER_01:

So other than that, uh out of three, you definitely pulled one off.

SPEAKER_03:

Congratulations, man. Uh that's awesome. I want to thank Main for making this happen for me. I do appreciate you.

SPEAKER_01:

Uh he was who he was up against?

SPEAKER_03:

No, I wasn't up against me. Oh, well, you had a trade in that? Horrible season. Uh yeah. Uh he drafted first and he ended up being last. Uh so it's uh he was talking a lot of shit in the beginning. And then somebody tells me it's not how you start, it's how you finish. Yeah, yeah. After that, he's been crickets all the time. Yeah, yeah. But mean, he'll come back next year. I know he will. Uh, because you gotta I gotta defend my belt. So it is.

SPEAKER_01:

I feel you though, man. Congratulations, man. Congratulations.

SPEAKER_03:

But other than that, man, Seattle uh is going for my man over here. I think it's gonna be a good game. It's gonna be a good showdown. A lot of good pass. Stephon Diggs is not gonna have Cardi B going crazy over there. Things are gonna happen successfully.

SPEAKER_01:

I bet you they're gonna put a camera on her for sure.

SPEAKER_03:

It's better. That is, I think it's better than Taylor Swift.

SPEAKER_01:

I agree. I agree. I think it's better than Taylor Swift.

SPEAKER_03:

She better be eating some mango or something over there. I agree. I agree. So we see what's going on over there. Other than that, ladies and gentlemen, as far as NFL, NFL, that it's all I got a lot of stuff, a lot of trades, a lot of new coaches. Yeah. Uh your buddy got, a matter of fact, McDaniels got picked up by the Chargers. Not even a day after. So I don't think it was a coaching issue.

SPEAKER_01:

The Browns coach.

SPEAKER_03:

Was it the Browns coach? No, no, no. Your coach, Mike Dolphins. Oh, the Dolphins coach.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh my bad.

SPEAKER_03:

You went to the uh Chargers. Yeah, he's their office. He's the Chargers now. He's their offensive coordinator. You know, I again shit like that got some questioning.

SPEAKER_01:

If if that was the right position for him?

SPEAKER_03:

No, it's that a lot of people blame the coach.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay, I guess.

SPEAKER_03:

If the coach is garbage, uh-huh, he will not get picked up.

SPEAKER_01:

They won't find another job. I mean, if a player's garbage, he ain't gonna find another scene.

SPEAKER_04:

I'll say this. A bad organization can make a coach look bad. Dolphins, Cleveland. Come on, man. I'm just saying, I'm not gonna be able to do it. I'm just saying, if you're a bad organization, you can make a coach look bad. Like, look at uh the guy for the Patriots.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

He first year there going to the Super Bowl. He was at a terrible organization before. The Titans. So I'm just saying, even like if you're good, a bad coach can make you look bad. Bad organization.

SPEAKER_01:

Bad organization can make you look bad as a coach.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, perfect example. Look at my giants. Look at that Danny Dines went to the Colts and he's bowling out there. That's true.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm just saying, yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Again, call me if you guys have systems or D said he got it.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. So yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, other than that, and how do you feel about Sanders being a backup uh for the uh Pro Bowl?

SPEAKER_01:

Um I'm happy he's on the Pro Bowl. I I think uh it solidifies what I've always felt that his performance would have been throughout the year. Um I don't think it's a um oh, let's just give it to him, man. I think it's actually well worth it. Uh or he earned it rather. That's cool, yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Uh I don't think so.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, you don't think so? You don't think he earned it?

unknown:

No.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh.

SPEAKER_04:

I agree he didn't earn it.

SPEAKER_01:

It's a lot of people that are not in it. Uh but he's a backup, he's not even starting. He's a fifth room. He's a backup for Drake Maybe because Oh, Raymond, don't do that to my guy, man. You can't be calling him a short room. You ever heard of a fifth-round pick making the Pro Bowl? Man, I'm just that's wow. I'm just Raymond will you remember how I had my thing about Elon?

SPEAKER_03:

Let me get mine out the first. The only reason I don't want Santa, I I don't think Sanders because he only played three games. It's not it's more than three games you gotta prove to me in order for you to make the Pro Bowl. But I'm gonna take everything here, I'm gonna sit the side. Let's get back to over here.

SPEAKER_04:

It's it's a popularity content. And a lot of people are not uh in it, they don't want to play in it, so they're gonna dig deep down and get Sanders to come in.

SPEAKER_01:

Bro, if first of all, he he's the number one selling jersey for the whole year. Okay, right. He came into an organization. He he came into an organization where the coach was against him, yes, uh, and he still performed. I agree, right? Um it's almost like you know how when the artist comes out and it's the Grammys and they have new artists of the year um award. Yeah. This is what I feel like it is to me, is to recognize him as a new up-and-coming player. Um, he's not starting, he's on the bench as a backup, um, but still the the recognition for him and his performance is being acknowledged. So picked in the fifth round, but he's not a fifth round pick. Yeah, I got you. Okay. Raymond's like, oh, okay, okay, I got you.

SPEAKER_04:

I never heard of a player making a Pro Bowl like De Hustle said that played three games. So this is crazy. D.

SPEAKER_03:

Hustle said you gotta get a regular ticket. At the end of the day, uh-huh. I I I feel good about it uh for him. Um you gotta do more than three games for me. I mean, at the end of the day, make if you play half the season, I'll come be like, okay, they benched the court the quarterback, now you win their half season, handling business, winning all six fucking games that you played in. That you played in. Uh, you know, making moves, doing a Lamar Jackson type of you didn't do that much right there.

SPEAKER_01:

I mean, people are gonna be tuned into the Pro Bowl to see Sanders.

SPEAKER_03:

I mean all the pens are if if they're losing.

SPEAKER_01:

I think it's all about what he's gonna he's gonna drive in.

SPEAKER_03:

Um and definitely um I basically what what what Raymond is trying to say, you don't see Bronny picking for the all-star game. Uh it's it's the same comparison. Do you think so? It's the same comparison. Is it?

SPEAKER_04:

Uh I don't think it's the same comparison. No? No.

SPEAKER_01:

Bronny would have definitely been a first pick. That would never even happen.

SPEAKER_03:

I think I think I if I'll compare Bronny, uh huh. Uh Bronny to Sanders, I'll give it to Sanders.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, congratulations too. I'm I'm happy he's creating history, his first year, um, because he will be known as a fifth round pick, especially the way that Raymond stands on it. Um and any way to shine more light on, I'm always I'm always happy to do, especially the situation they put him in.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Actually, I seen another article uh the other day from him um that uh he had his like a car that it was at the stadium after practice and he went to go, you know, check uh check his car out, and his car had a flat tire or something like that. And then one of the the people you know helped coordinate him getting you know his car fixed and whatever, whatever, and I guess they told him that they don't even have a car the next day, he bought them a new car. So um he's very um anthropic. Is it anthropic? Uh phil philanthropic um in terms of uh the way he spins and supports the community out there. So I'm gonna be rooting for him regardless. Oh Sanders. Oh, okay. Number 12.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm gonna go get number 12. So do you think if Sanders does well in the all-star game? I'm just throwing it out there. Deion Sanders is gonna coach.

SPEAKER_01:

The spot is open, right?

SPEAKER_03:

The spot is open for seven coaches right now. I bet you're interviewing him. But if he goes to the Browns to coach with his son, you think the Browns would be a favorite, like the next America's favorite team?

SPEAKER_01:

I know you're saying this because you want the Cowboys to lose that title. Um I know for a fact if uh Dion primetime goes to any team, um, it's gonna create such a momentum behind it that I think he could wield that type of notoriety. It'll be hard because Cowboy fans don't ever want to let that go. Um, but he would have to go win a Super Bowl though, in my opinion, for him to get that.

SPEAKER_03:

First year he comes on win Super Bowl.

SPEAKER_01:

Then it's America's new team. That'll be hard though. All right. Raymond don't even think he's ready for the league. I mean, for the NFL, the coach. Oh Sanders, Dion.

SPEAKER_03:

Uh I mean, as long as he's not at the Cowboys, I'm good. You don't care what he does, but other than that, I'm just hoping that uh, you know. It is what it is.

SPEAKER_01:

We'll see. I appreciate you always uh holding down the sports section. Hope y'all enjoy. Um, we didn't really jump into too much uh uh back and forth, just a little bit, a little bit, especially when he said something about uh Curry, greatest player ever never again.
