331. Yoga Mats & Birds

Sometimes spoilers come at you in not an exciting way, but in a stressful way and an inconvenient time, but you have to just deal with it and roll with the punches. And I I don't know if that's the idea now, 'cause it used to be more like, you know, shock somebody with a watch or whatever, and now it's like watch TV or play play a musical instrument. You know the one with like the the little birds tweeting at the beginning and all that? Harmonica harmonica GPT. Who'd have to blow to get plugins? What do you have for lunch, garbage? And the next time I see you, I'm going to bend a coin. How are you? No, you're canceled. And then the quote from the article was, I'm just so scared. Then I added some strings.

And so I ended up with more than I would have had if I just thought about it. But if you listen to that and you go like either, oh, that's all just the computer, which is true, or B, oh my god, Moran's a fucking musical genius, which is not true. They're called Boy Genius, and I have discovered them. As I say that that's not a basis for a basis for a personality. Brady Spitz, he's also the guy who he's also the guy that did the theme for the Slate podcast, Slate Culture Gav Fest. Yeah, but I'm collaborating in some ways. to people getting beyond it because they go, look at all, look at all these nerds. And Hound was this crazy thing where you could ask it these sorts of questions. Special 20s more affordable, marine band deluxe, da da da da with the sealed bamboo comb.

Do you d have you used Mac GPT a at all? A Walgreens return? Absolutely. And you're like, that's cool. It's together in one place. I've known girls like that. Yeah, it's their pants. Jazz break. He's talking about, you know, I I'm not gonna do the voice. Like wipe her booty hole, mostly make sure that it's clean because she's got some you know diarrheal content. I think John Mulaney's ex got the dog for what it's worth. I bet you're not going to be able to do that. For us to talk about it at some point. Which is like wine how the song goes? Have you ever seen the Robin Williams one? Sidebar, sidebar, sidebar. As in the case of the Beatles songs I learned when I was fifteen, I had the way too easy guitar version and they didn't like sound right.

So I thought, what the fuck? Thomas Sennison says uh most people I want to kill an elephant. in a wonderful article in SPY. With Alex Cox and Merlin Mann. Now that I heard. Hi Alex, I heard your harmonica. But I don't know if I uh agree. And it's very spoiler. Title. Um, so I may accidentally reference that. Uh you can hear by supporting us on Patreon at give us your fucking money dot com or Patreon slash do by Friday. The movie's good. I I I don't know if I said specifically, but yeah, I played harmonica when I was a kid. Um, 'cause like I I don't know. I used to think the step zero was like, oh, see how good it is. Siri. I watched that original video and um I'm like this a Siri. I love it. Then you know that name got more and more specific until eventually you had a you know a UX person, the person who does card sorting experiments, right?

And then, you know, and you changing the size of your screen, like the stuff on, you know, at at the very least the layout adapts, if not always the type size. Where you could say like the kind of like parlor trick stuff that honestly almost always fails in my demos. My main concern now is I just keep waiting for this to be revealed as something that actually sucks. Uh just to say in passing as we get ready to play the harmonica for our listeners. fall i've tried a bunch i tried that i tried that that uh weird looking libertarian seeming freedom gpt yeah yeah it's main value its main value proposition is you can learn how to build a bomb Uh y you know, free college food as well as the day old's bread from Jimmy John's that they Alex, I've e I've eaten more Subway sandwiches than anybody you've ever known.

I was taught that by Dive Vernon. who's like, I'm gonna just wear it's like a certain kind of there's a certain kind of character in America, which is like, this will not end until I have broken you. And it's like my boy PO, PO and I go way back, poor PO's dealing with this guy. to be able to buy things when you could if you just want gum, just pay for gum. Alex, do you know about my projects? it which is like if it's in the dock, it can always be a thing. Uh no, uh honestly it Is it grateful? Uh well, yeah, uh that's another podcast. Uh three weeks in a row though on the same day, that's pretty good. Get some truck nuts and you put them in your pants. I might I don't know if I should, but I might.

Yeah, and it's Jar it's kind of uh oddly, uh Jared from Subway Orthogonal. wrestle around in my truck nuts, I'd be kind of bombed too. Oh penis. Your cat is very ill and I'm making work for you. Not I'm not saying people who do wipe wrong. You know? That's what I want. Oh. And they're they'll they're behind itches. To uh clean her area, and she did mostly a great job. I'm on season nine and I you're fucking kidding me. Uh yeah, they were they're the joke pockets where you have to cut the little thread in uh or thread that's there, you know, to to get in there and And then I I had That should be a euphemism. Uh I I didn't think that I should go direct to the. D fish that are gonna drump out. Yeah, there's a lot of things.

Yeah. So the song starts and goes. Can I say can I say this? the way Robin Williams played. It I don't know at the what the the Just in general? I don't know, Ornette Coleman arrangement, but I I and I got found some commonality. Most people fear hard work because it's dress in or feels fear success because it's dressed in overalls, something like that. Of what you can do with GarageBanner and iPad. I think I just found it. My kid thinks I'm such a weirdo. It's called the record. I've enjoyed her. It's the one where she's like standing at the monster truck rally. Uh you could be a uh tick a t a talk remixer. Listen, I hate to steal this from Stuart Lee, but imagine that I'm looking at this camera on the side of the stage.

open. But I think this is going to be a Merlin heavy episode for two reasons. J it doesn't have to be. Blood sugar not yet. where you where you just you you're just not available, right? And and perhaps us. I I we just picked the worst week to have the program as a challenge last week and I it might be one of the best episodes of TV I've ever seen. No, not always. So I just thought this was a very good idea. ish thing was you you said you got a harmonica because you felt that you were stealing valor with a bell. Um, I have perfect pitch three. On harmonica? Learn to play the harmonica? Yeah. Yes, yes, yes. Of somebody like finding this guy who writes music for movies, this is years ago, to like come in and they talked about what they wanted in a theme and he came back two or three times to talk about it and played it.

founder as the founding followers intended. It was almost like the way the International Herald Tribune was in the early 2000s. I is is this a Usenet thing? But like I came up at a time and this is idiotic, I admit this, but everybody did it all. you know, a little bit of JavaScript, like learning how to at least change permissions on a CGI script, but to you know, making web pages with HTML and having a design that worked okay. How's the stuff on the page m moving? Oh it's absolutely it's absolutely magic. D do you do one thread? It's kind of a janky unintuitive interface where you hit check to delete. When you do the v the Federico and do the Federico one, like does it remember all of those if you don't hit save or in the shareau?

The Honor Special 20 and the Honor uh M2005 BX-C. For liberty or whatever. And then he would have a um I think it's called like a l a zesty a a a zesty vegetable bomb or something for dinner. I want to give everybody eights. If you yeah, they you could have been two first names. I don't understand that. Oh, I see. It no it wasn't Well no no no it was for my work because it was the bell replacement. to be I wanted to be the model I'm like Ricky J man I spend like fifteen hours a day in front of a mirror just doing the the just getting like I just sit in a hotel room staring in the mirror going Oh We always talk about we always talk about nerd stuff. You can play some Green Day songs in them. wiping my cat's butt after she uses the bathroom.

Yeah. You're not a dirty girl, you're a clean girl. It's almost as old as some of his victims. You should get you should if I could it's your they're your pants. that could be created around it. Uh pack it them in your pants, if you will, and uh they hold them in place on a sweaty sweaty car. So we'll see if we do a fourth. Mm. Because I said penis. As I uh after I took and and sent that living photo to you, I bent uh over to, you know, uh wipe her And my cat was doing this. And I see a cat I see a cat's tail sticking out. Yes, and the consistency of what the number will be. this. Yes. Please get a video. Should we talk more about harmonicas? Um uh hormonic cause. A very it is an underrated season.

Bad, bad. shirt. Um a lesser version of that is, you know, like they want the thing to look good on a rack and to have a good line to it. in the in the wild still do to like be like is there a predator in the fish? And you got your thumb on top and a finger underneath, and then you can hit it against your other palm. I I I can do the like like that like the technique things, like the like there's the tongue age. I was gonna learn I was gonna do a jokey thing where I was gonna learn succession on either harmonica or guitar. It's twenty years old and it's extraordinary. Um, not on ChatGPT, but on the Google website, I say something like succession, uh, succession chords. Then realized wait a minute.

You did this in the iPad version of Garage Band. Or that brrrrrrrrr where you can like speed it up. No, but okay, but you just you just push the buttons. But also that like I'm utilizing what this thing is fucking for. Yeah, and and it's a weird way to do it. uh trap remain the m it i the words up up a little bit to get that into the show art because i i know it's on the nose much like his tattoo almost is but still I'm fantastic. No, it's it's totally the com it it's like completely off on your end. an AI or ML way to be able to share your current velocity with people with regard especially to communications. Um if I let me put let me put it in as an I statement. theory about succession reflected in the sh art the the pre-release preseason art for the show?

And so, well, that's where we choose a challenge. That's mostly what I want to see. This so I was getting more interested in that nexus of development and design, and it the I feel like this is still very early days. And yeah, so I like I like my explanation or my my theory. It will get rid of them unless you specifically say y you want it saved. Oh yeah. It was a treat for us. No, no. Every time you're n uh getting a little bit into something, you are already ballsy. Uh uh but unfortunately is a live photo. This conversation could go on uh for for so many hours and the the content of I didn't zoom in because I don't zoom in, but like just in my it looks like there's a litter robot w w which they don't work.

And then you do do you are you prepared? And it is uh eighty degrees today here in Chicago. You know, the June bugs are arriving in April now. Yeah, that's good, though. Uh well I just I I just ran it under hot water. That's what I'm pretty su I well, th they do the thing where they check, they go up to their water bowl and they, you know, do the little flicky thing. Yes. Oh I'm sorry. Please, please share. We will fight our country's battles on the line. I I uh yeah. So so I thought well you know just do the thing Alex did you type that did you write it down just do the thing? Piano, all caps, or guitar, right? And I played them on the iPad. So that was fun. Where there's like first thing of course I noticed there's a turntable, so you can go wiki wiki wiki.

Your uh what's that why Scott? and a timeline, but there is a way to it is just not intuitive. tremendous and like I've heard of Phoebe Bridgers but like I guess I didn't like I'd heard Lucy Dawkins. For what I made, you don't look at Twitter. Notional cover I made last night and I'm sending it. Difficult 'cause I went and I looked at what trap remix covers look like and they do tend to include these fucking master P bullshit, like terrible graphics. Um yeah, originally I made it smaller so that it was it's at left of his tie, but on Twitter that wouldn't have looked good. Oh no. Too many I I shouldn't have grammarly everywhere. I would love that. You know, um I'm not gonna talk about it here.

Johnny Bullshit and he's got four screenshots of something of of of something he regards as funny. It was incredible. The kind of pre-Doug Bowman era of CSS and stuff like that. thread should you use as in do you because it'll remember one for yeah or le when should you start over and that goes with the thinking about thinking for me. Sort your just th sort all your threads and archive them? Yeah, so I said, what harmonica should I get? I know. There's a lot of things. Yeah. That you know, like there's no cat bidets that I know of, but there is a bespoke gentle wipe that she prefers. It like could hang a little bit and you want it to be really, really straight. Yeah, and it it fell into the cat bowl.

Yeah. I think it might have been, I don't know if it was before or after back to work, but I I grabbed the iPad and I was like, oh, I guess you know I could at least take a cut at this Oh, hang on. Oh, and Madeline says you just need to mix in Kendall's rap. So now I could do that. And starts with a H you said don't oh I I all of my you know, I I'm one of those uh ding a lings who has Grammarly installed on I just think there must be ways that you can share with people. I I I I didn't know. Um I think at one time I think at one time it was thought, oh, this way people can play along Yeah. That was that's the challenge I think we at Lila we land on. And I, if I remember correctly, at a time when I was really interested in what you could do, but you know, we used to say like web, we used to say webmaster, then later on you'd say web designer.

Uh that's how I felt when Wolfram Alpham came out. and how many fluid ounces are in a cup and blah blah blah and it would go brr and spit it all out and you could even have it talk really fast almost like a screen reader Uh wait d are you paying for the Rayman suite? Um he's cool. What? Uh no. You're welcome, everybody. Um there's a 14-minute video directed by Kristen Stewart and it is three those the second, third, and fourth song on the album. Yeah, I don't know. It's not, you know, it's one of those, you know, it's like uh, you know, a moment moment to learn a lifetime to master. constitutes what will probably be in a web view for what is called an app. No, no, no, no. Yeah. Oh, I think that's a good thing.

I think there are people who who wonder if they wipe wrong. Everyone is talking about this. I am well fine. I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but I Neither do I. No, no. Or I mean I'm not sure. Um because you know what happens is usually Alex and I at least I I won't speak for Alex. It's no, no, but there's so many different keys and uh typically or pitches, I don't know what I'm talking about, but C is the harmonica No, there's I think there's very few ways to wholesomely. Uh I've played it for a few days. We tried to make Desired Penis a a title of a two-headed girl episode, but then Apple Podcast said we would be under explicit content, so we changed. You know that song though?

Hmm. And what I'm here to tell you guys, I know how to be popular on the internet. Okay, okay. That that that I believe I believe I believe that is. I do care. I good night, everybody penis It is the OG Siri when it it first launched. Nice and normal and say harmonica depends on your preferences, skill level, intended use, blah blah blah. Uh so I'm just gonna talk about wiping my cancer cat's butt. Oh god, oh my god. I talked about in the good slack. Oh, absolutely. I'm trying to cut back on the discourse, but they're there. I mean like not not to be cute here, but you mean Siri when it w if or when it went. Anyways, really boring challenge. I was always told that's the that's the dog version.

I was b uh I I bent over to uh to wipe the butthole, but I'm wearing shorts and of course because I'm ready for the show like a professional, my harmonica was in my pocket. Yes, that's why I uh that is why I I I am I'm impressed. Oh God. Like it's maybe not the best day. Yeah, they're all good. So, and then it was like, oh ha ha, Daddy made a pivot. Were you wearing one of your lesbian short sleeve shirts? Um this is this is an old one to get spit out. I'm I'm being condescending. Well that's gonna get in the way of you doing things with words. I have a song about the military and a and a song about uh God. Oh no, I mean has uh in our discussion right now have the listeners heard it yet? Okay, okay, all right.

It goes away? Yes, yes. I could do that thing where I shuffle my legs around really hard after I do it and and then like give a little shake. Keep in mind I I used to pr pretty much my uh c college diet consisted of And they're like, no, I will give you a and they won't leave and they want to use the bathroom. I was I was fine, but before we we started our program, um I did the typical my typical routine of No, that was actually. Please, please, please, please. We'll see. And not the newest, no. Welcome to my garage sale. Just go in. Then I had some different strings because I wanted to do different things. And I just thought that was funny. I use it all all the time now. He lost over two hundred pounds.

Um so we got harmonicas. Yeah. So anyway. Oh god, I sent it to Madeline instead of you. I don't know the other girl at all, though she's incredible. Do I have to become a developer to get plugins? I see. Anytime we need a Dremel, I know where the Dremel is. I have not seen it yet, so I so I assume uh and so you're wiping your cat's butt and watch the sign fall. Well I will type it down. Never mind. I could put it into garage band and I could steal from these these and these nice ladies. Well I asked I asked ChatGPT which one I should get. And responsive design years before they even had a name. Oh do it. Otherwise oh she's oh hello. Yes, absolutely. Okay, alright. Are you are you are we gonna play it here?

Can you hear that? A a after show. Uh-uh. I I don't want to go into it 'cause I know it's so boring to people. But that that's what I'm saying. And then guess what? Well, um, I wrote penis as well. I said I was taking uh I said pooping luxuriously, full stop, almost there. That don't you want there must be somebody there must be somebody who's a better wiper than you who could teach you things or a dog or a cat like about Uh from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli. We also we watched one with Sarah Paulson. I'm not I'm I'm grateful that you like it. His son is kind of a piece of shit. Do you know I have projects? Matt Matt could have a oh god, your pot up uh oh boy. Can you do the voice?

I I took the phot hold yes yes this is this is the harmonica story. I wish more people could see stuff I try really hard at, but because I'm not just putting some bullshit up there and going, oh, the tomatoes weren't very good. It could be a meter in istat for Casey. And yes, I did look into that and it's not possible despite the very enthusiastic biohacking community. No, no. Does your cat ever buttle sis? The whole point of something like Succession is everybody watches it together and talks about it. We talked about this a while back. I read doctors are gonna tell you. Fake it till you make it. First time I've ever done three podcasts in a row, so you know, knock on rabbit. Um, people to be happy.

Oh, I was taking on a photograph to send you, like, haha, look at poop. Well I know how to like kind of sing along and do the I have an interpretive dance for almost every TV show I love. I I start a new thing in GarageBan. I had an idea for I had an idea for a feature. I uh check out the watch. Dude, I think this is true and prob mm. Oh yeah. I need to put it in the middle of the thing. Mmm. Yeah. Blip blip bit doop blip boopoop blip blip Hello. John Keats calls negative capability. Yeah. I'll have to send it to you. I didn't know if you knew. But uh which is why I wanna hear about your other musical endeavors this week, because holy shit. Oh, so it's is it the SVU dance or is it the l OG? W who's your favorite DA on SVU?

But still, uh uh. It's like you don't Boy Genius has been big for years. But like if you but I mean like stuff like stuff like to the come to mind are like what are the situations um I wish I had a Walgreens guy. Um, so you know, harmonicas, it they're portable, you know. I'll listen to the one to three episodes you do of almost any uh you know what yeah yeah right here, right here is where the audio of Merlin talking about doing three episodes of Back to Work will be Why are you taking your shoes off? What's this thing? Holy fucking. Because you know Jared from Subway might stop by. And I thought I was playing a G chord. Um and uh and so um and then then we like talked about harmonicas. Yes.

Yeah. Knowing that that was I mean, you know, always why why overthink it? He had a small that's a South Park joke. Uh the it's when we don't have our need. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh that's an interesting noise. And I abandoned that, partly because I got a stress bump. But um oh there you go. Oh god they're off just enough. This week's challenge: Play a Harmonica. I'm never got a stress bump. You you have been upset that I don't carry cash with me, but but you you have coins. I'm gonna open a can. I st I think in America there are people who wonder if they wipe wrong and liars. It was adorable. It's got the th the sick, the sick beats at the beginning, t and then it's like then it goes boom boom. Four chords that like are the basis of the not the melody, but the you know, the chords.

How about alright, I've got myself into what I am calling a Seinfeld situation, but can you hear this? Oh, please. Uh yeah, it's about a rapper uh who raps about a small penis. Then they had to deal with his card. Uh no. Yeah. Yes. It's usually a a lady trying to use expired coupons. No, it's not that good. I'm hoping that Whoop w one moment. Uh well, I mean a lot goes away, Alex. That's not the nature of the show. What are you talking about? Subway was never in the business of giving away uh like crappy freebies. You never heard of Ruth's Chris Steakhouse? I'm gonna bite off a bit of your coin without you. Does it say wow? Yeah. Oh I just I'm watching too much Seinfeld. It it was funny. Yeah.

And for me I have projects. Let's stop talking about people who kidnap children. You should ask m um M Matshew about this. Everything is fine. But there are a couple ac isn't that Puerto Rican parade season? I learned how to play that and I learned how to play when the Saints go marching in, which is also the first thing I ever learned to play on our organ. Mmm. I yeah, and uh your projects are wonderful. You've you this is the turning point though. You know what? Are you walking up with a watered up Kleenex in your hand? Oh see, now I'm sending it to you. How is how's that sounding? It's great. The Orange Book helped a lot because you learn about like putting your content in a sensible order, making sure it validates.

Here's I have uh I have uh silver dollars for a nickel, and they go, I'll give you a penny. That's fine. Emily, I'm sorry, which I think should be a bangin' club remix as well as this exquisite And we talk to each other and we we razz each other and uh and then we pick a challenge for the next week. There's a lot of anti-woke L uh LLMs. Think it in your head. And the cops came in and he was just aghast because they had to go examine him. I I I think about that more than I should, but I hope that everyone is happy. And I have to admit I was kind of thrilled to discover that dumb fucking DJFX thing. It's like it's almost like we're both mentees. Is John it's John is family name? That's that's the problem is Um Billy and I were behind a Walgreens return last week.

Honey, are you done? Uh-huh. There are Michigan for that. Gotta go make the Jesus juice, if you know what I mean. So you walked up, your your cat your cat goes in head first, right? If this thing's in has been in Garage Band for a while, I sure didn't know. So it you could think about I don't know how you figure this out because I don't know how to make computers, but like is this person texting it doesn't matter who with, but like And I think it's not who people think it is. So this hound app, I don't know if you remember this, but I think it was when Max was here. Oh I started watching Dope Sick again. I've I've I've got a clean girl and and boy. Yep, yep, yep, yep. You're not a barber boy.

I was so impressed by Ah yes, good job. Uh it can be as heavy or light as you want. It's made out of yoga mats and birds. No, that's the thing is my cat is doing great actually. I'll try to find one. Something like the the it's one of those it's a good twist as a t as a tweak because the article is like a typical like haha funny headline. Like, why is it this nice here? No it's not. I just did the thing. Those don't really look like tattoos, but you get the idea. It makes uh uh uh m me dumber, I think, but uh or stupider. Hey, you know, this person hasn't even looked at messages in a really long time. Is that that's not a table? I was playing it uh before it was cool, but b because you know I was practicing without m uh to use it and not use it.

Uh he and Billy and I we each go like Oh yeah, we always go up and I'm like what what do you what what are you watching? Let's save that. They sew the pockets, you know, so they keep a line. She's in a couple. Yes, yes. I don't understand. It's only happened twice. So hold it in your right hand so that like it's sort of like uh well like where you got your thumb, you want the you want the holes to be on your left. I thought you were new to the community. And and then of course I know enough to know you gotta look at five of these. Could could you hear that on my end? Oh boy. If I'm texting heavily, very heavily all day with like one person. That's a thing that I have run into over and over again is not the uh I it it's the which That's that that's how it all evolves.

Don't do the voice. Yeah. It was a quick wipe. You just did the thing. Do you remember how we played with a little bit a couple years ago? But and and I've yet to come across a good program or plug-in that allows you to really We should probably talk about other stuff. Then I added another piano doing a different thing. Oh, sorry. I am caught up on the program. I can I can I still the f as soon as my harmonica arrived in the mail last week, I was able to play the two songs I learned on harmonica when I was nine or ten. But like the thing is, like I'm learning a lot doing this. And also I I never wanna weave out Wolfram Alpha. Wait, I don't know if you're talking about a GPT garage band or or both.

Yeah or Pockle Bells canon. Startling uh the cancer cat. Yes. Oh absolutely. It has all kinds of fucking cool DJ shit. I don't either, but we should talk about it on the after show. Yeah. It's kind of confusing. Their pants. I'm once the one stuck holding the purse. Say it in your head in the Michael Jackson voice. No, oh no, no, no. So I thought to myself, okay, first I gotta figure out I don't know, just to get started, let's do the thing I would do if I want to cover a song. That's what he said. Well start with that video. They have a as as ever, they have a good discussion about it. And then I thought, oh, the the step zero is like remember to do it. How did it do? And so yeah. Just in my own head anyway.

Do you get do you get the browsing alpha right now? I w I mean if you're in front of me at Walgreens, my hand of God, you might as well be writing a check. Oh I thought you said like you know her story or pshulk It's just it's amazing how much we can do if we just do just try a little bit. I just am albumar for this. But also, like if people are texting me and I'm getting a gajillion text, that's kind of good to know. Oh man, though those guys. I understand. Did you follow its advice? You're like, who made this? Oh, he's the best. Uh yeah. No. I'm paying for the Rainman suite and I get the choice of Who Uh it it's it's the point, like sh she'd rather be clean than uh like a part of her dignity is being clean.

That's such a good topic of talking about uh uh we don't say fake, um aspirational testicles title. Well my first experiences with internet media, I feel like, was uh this is not funny. Aww. No, no, no, no. But there's this song called I think it's called Emily is it called Emily, I'm sorry. Yeah. I am uh very nerdy and have never heard of this. Bring the dignity. I I used to know anyone. We watched one with Ann Dowd. And is it the right card? You'll forget about it. Don't do the voice. I I I'd work that spit valve spit valve. Jack m Jack McCoy all told, but Claire, man, she's so cute. There it is. The same uh the same thing happens in logic where you have to uh switch between the the loops I figured everybody knew about this because my kid talks about it a lot.

It's it's play play then we changed it to I wrote down It's like we're both mentees. The I I I don't doubt it, but but uh I mean Ale He and your on gray joy. And sometimes I get as you as you like to say, balls deep in something and then I work doing something else for a while. Get to wipe in a different direction. Oh God, when he had fleas. I'm so sorry. Um it's arguably one of the most instrumental new things in my life, and I would I would like to share it at some point. I thought okay, 'cause cause like oh also will you write something down please? Okay, but the Superman movie, right? No, no, no, no, you but I I need to be rewarded for the thing I'm actually good at, which in this case was just doing the thing.

I think one problem with the chat GPT thing and sharing with people how amazing it is is people don't like to read. Yeah. My metal polishing is really bad right now because I think I've really corroded my jewelry cleaner. And uh hey everyone who is sent money to help my cat ness, I'm gonna cry so I d I'm not gonna talk about it now, but um talk about wiping your cat's butt. Did you make? I know, I know. And if you looked at that for even half a second, anybody or listened to that for half a second, not that many people listen to it. And I'm like, mm, that record just came out. Ooh. I wasn't. Daddy say, hey, it would be funny because we're talking about the TV show Succession. That's kind of my go to.

Oh dear. Having a garbage garbage and bread sandwich twice a day. You're saying make believe testicles are another podcast? So I'm wearing shorts. Well, it's hard at Chicago though, because we always have fake spring. Like, potable and if a fish will jump out and get them. Long story short, first I did it on piano, these four chords in an eight-bar loop. I wanna hear it again. Uh it's probably me. But I just remember this being a website where it would it would respond to the size of your screen. How do I listen to podcasts? So I see. What a good job. Are you worried about like cat like feline something? But I held it under uh some hot water for a while and now Oh it's getting Also do this. Cause I don't know how I would do this that's when it's not a live performance.

You ever heard a boy genius? All right. I can hold two ideas in my mind. Here's my advice. Play play the harmonica. But anyway, I agree with you. Uh oh interesting. Him and Anthony. Yeah. Hey, hey, uh I guess I guess this is the show. I said I didn't know. But um what was the one? It's almost all just the website. Offers a more traditional feel and slightly warmer tone. Yes, that's true. And then they're always mad at P. But I'm not sure how to use other pronouns with you now. I got nothing. You won't be able to tell from me playing it, but Oh yeah! You need to give me b all all of it. You know he lost almost 250 pounds from eating sandwiches. It's like usual. Yeah. Ooh die coke. Oh are you wearing girls shorts like as the shitty little pockets in it?

Oh god. I I played flute. Uh I I just want to say Larry David. Ditto with Hound. Do you remember when uh something happened, blah, blah, blah, something with courts, and then Michael Jackson had to do a d the position about how about how whether he touched somebody's tutor. Yes, yes. And I didn't have time to do a better job on his tattoos, but that's a start. Start with the simple one. I think I think Michael um Michael Batman Why it's amazing. You're not upset at it. Oh my god. You do not need to explain this to me. But it's also got that other bullshit from songs, like where the song goes boom before the drop. Thank you very much the the the like yes you are a talented musician and just push buttons perfectly but you are also That's exactly what you said it sounded like.

Anyway, spoilers, like a lot of things uh like sp like a lot of things in life Right, sorry. This is the show everybody who was pessimistic about this was saying, Oh, I give it three shows. No, no, no, no. Your cousin's a wet sandwich. Start with that video. I'm really easy. Oh, that's a really good idea. Oh. Like if it's a hundred percent. And I don't really have much to say about it. You should get truck knots for now. Please were wiping your cat's ass and a harmonica fell out of your pants. Then I had this really grand ambition yesterday morning. So I thought to myself, I should just do the thing. Uh but no, I mean like I and I hate to sell like what uh was once called a celebrity refusenick.

Neither one of us is a mentor. I'm like this is th this is it and I Is this another thing? That's not even a joke. Um my my balls aren't in there, but um they will right after I took that photo, I believe in you I went Listen, there are way fancier, more bespoke nuts that you don't need to put on a truck that you can put on your pants I think that's how dogs wipe. Cause that's Logan Roy as a SoundCloud rapper. I choose not to. No, sucking was d very fun for me. You won't do it. What do you what do you do? Um but as uh yeah, she's great. It's it I I'm wearing When your pattern shirts you button up? No, it's got a little it's got a little uh uh emblem type thing in its hand I own to m Yes, a classic.

Yes. I don't want to talk about it when you first week. Anthony did take my Daredevil comic and never give it back, but that's okay. Did you make? Oh, but but but uh they talked he talked about he th cause he was Michael Jackson. I got nothing. Alex, write this down. What's gonna happen? That was for Alex. He keeps it up in the menu bar so he can see what his hard disk does. I don't know what key it's in. Yeah. This is my job. Oh. I I can't play any any th thing. Yeah. Yep. My advice is like it more or w w watch it sooner or or don't don't look at things. I mean before Apple acquired it. I I mean this is the vision of Siri that the original God, International Herald Tribune was so far ahead of its time with the JavaScript stuff.

He had a small, he would have a small turkey sub for his lunch. Um and does it like it when you wipe it or does it dislike it? And I can also do like I can also do I can do little bands. Just laying in bed and did like four takes until I had one where I didn't completely find I know, I know. It's true because there is no the harmonica as I've come to like I I I sort of. And the card's not working. Penis. They do that they do that so it looks good on. Oh god I know oh is that is that what they call the gapers block Yeah, hell yeah. And it did. I love this stuff, Alex. Oh related to Ruth's Chris. I'm trying to what's the Harmonica I'm no Neil Young. I'll do that. I'm gonna say something. What harmonica should I get?

That's true. Anything that rises to the level of a project is a project. I saw a joke about it. All auto-played, all shit just on my iPad. And now they're hur hearing it a third time. Anyways, it whatever the fuck. Oh, I yeah. It knows all of this stuff without me having to do ands and ors or or pipes and parentheses and quotes. Uh and then there were two that I narrowed it down to and I said please come compare and contrast two harmonicas. It's like that, but with coupons. But I I Oh it in a row? Super super quick Alex. These seem to be the four chords. And like when Stuart Lee turns and says, see, I I know how to make jokes. This is Do by Friday, a weekly challenge podcast. I I I I I yeah, yeah, whatever you want to do.

Nobody reads that. Also, like where does it all live? Do you want me to come in now? They touched my penis. In what sense? Um well that's good because I think there's this band that I'm obsessed with. Yeah, well you only heard about it because I did. Uh well, you don't look at Twitter. And if you're not into that, like you can't just yell at the whole country all the time. Yeah. I got nothing. What a what a guy. And you could yes, and then you can do You know how you can like share your do not disturb and you can share other things like a status line, a name? You know, like battleship. We're we're both learning, right? This is very important. I no? No, no, I did. Aspirational texture books, okay?

I went back to four. You know that song, the marine theme? Uh yeah, you have to work out. L to the LG. But but we don't want to talk about it if are we worried about spoiling it? His name's Lil Dickie. But you go like, what's the what is the population of Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and Delaware? Like that's just a thing, is you get behind somebody. What's that for? Um, but the uh Seinfeld, no Seinfeld, what what are where are you with season? Something like that. We watched one with Bucky from Marvel Ooh, and you could wear a light up mask. I I can I I really heavily applaud and endorse that decision. Wait, hold up. And there's not a surpassing amount of control there. Oh dear, that's a big Ruth's Chris?

So you had to practice. O. Do you is it like is it like the country of Turkey? I'm I there's s spit is Yes. Like Simpson turned me on to Lucy Dawkins a couple of years ago. No, no, it's okay. Because I have a candidate. And and oh I I like those guys. I don't I don't have perfect pitch. It's so fun. It's a It's really good. Yes I wrote just do the thing So I thought to myself just do the thing So I go and I do a search Oh, alright. Correct. It was it's kind of adjacent to series. I do. When I had an assigned cat at birth person, we had to learn the right way to wipe. And if you I think the idea is if you don't put a loop in the pockets Grammarly, I want grammarly for people. I'm a grown man. And we would do, you could ask the craziest questions.

Yeah. Yeah. Is that right? We've talked for 35 minutes. I think there are two kinds of people in the world, people who Have we played it on the show yet? I'm probably just making it up. Alex, I'm why do you think I'm always being sarcastic? No, play a harmonica. Because when Wolf Rom Alpha first becomes became something everybody had access to, it was miraculous. And it's, you know, like my own little R tings for this. All I wanted to be able to do was go that little octave like bump bump bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum Because you're not allowed to like me. I don't know what you do and how you preserve privacy, but I think velocity is not something that we should self-assess. One person, you had a webmaster, and that was the person that did stuff, whether that was stuff uh in my case I wasn't doing like deep in the stack stuff, but Perhaps hairlessly balls.

So Michael Jackson said he said penis. Don't you always think like, oh my god, a day like this in April, it's that nice? My law and order dance is which So I don't want like a full on like We are both mentees. Where's my harmonica question? Yeah. , which is kind of shitty. Penis, I'm making work for you. You know how dogs do that thing with their hind legs? That's totally fine. I still don't understand. Yeah. You you can play lots of popular songs about the South on it. And then you sent me a l uh a living uh image. I c so I know how to play when the Saints go marching in and the mil the um Marine Corps theme. OG l or the SVU? I love it. And of course, it's trying to be, you know. I don't like your own gray joy either.

A pro my problem is also I have a little bit of a stress bump right now, like a small one. I I But anyways, um I like the way this one evolved because the joke I haven't earned the bell yet. I think it's an impediment. And did you enter the number right? Uh oh boy. Hi everybody. The thing is I've alwa already been like completely toxoplasmosified, but I don't And that's one way people get stabbed. I thought I knew what this was. Yeah. You've never heard of Ruth's Chris? The cat water bowl and um Alex. I'm sure Syracuse wouldn't approve of this, but like look at five and see it. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Uh I don't have plugins. Anyway, so How do I how do I get like Jared from Subway? Jimmy John's, they will like No, I did.

Um but And so I did a trap remix of succession. Serendipity. I still can't find it on the Mac version of Garage. I'm usually like like improbably winded after we've recorded this and we take a little break, we come back and then we record our after show, which Kidnap. Um The right the right underpants you get jobs. I keep a lipstick in there. Now go find that audio and drop it in if you're such a big shot. And then there's a regular litter box. Yeah. Oh gosh, I forget What does that mean? Hi, how are you? Yes. And their story I I might be remembering wrong, but um there's a newspaper a website for a newspaper called the International Herald Tribune. Huh. Do you not have a favorite DA? Ordinary fucking people.

Oh yeah, sure. I used to have hair on my balls. Yeah. But this guy in front of me, he might as well have brought in snow tires. Yes. I don't I don't know. Have you listened to that record? I think uh oh oh it's drying out. I have a candidate for the for the balcony. Yeah. Um and so we're here. People just want to see a picture of a dog. And the step zero increasingly it gets keeps getting deeper and deeper. You had uh an interaction designer, you had and those those all meant something. Like I wish I could get all of this. Ooh. I wanted Um, hello. What do you mean? I'm sorry I interrupted you, I made fresh iced tea. You're already better than most f folk singers Instead of thinking about it, instead of typing about it, like what do I do first?

I'm muted by everybody. You know, where it sounds like you hit it and muted it. I use it so freaking much. Kidnap is strong. Oh right. It well it depends. Like they it like cats Like it's it's new to me, which is these weird fucking DJ tools. Huh? And um And I said, and as a joke, as a lark, as a larf, I said, wouldn't it be funny if we tried to learn how to play the succession theme? What does that mean? This is an audio medium. Why do they do well I I think I f I think I know why, which is you know like when you buy shit in a store and it's horrible Uh we yes, we have played it on the show. But it's so fun to do. I imagine that'll change or I hope it will anyway. What does that mean? I hate all of the words.

I can do little bands, not good bands, but like I learned about it before Syracuse, before Jason Snell, definitely before my kid. Um Alright, alright, you gotta gotta pull pull uh the the Not funny. Did you ever go back and listen? This can be the show then. Oh absolutely. I love the Germans. But the but ultimately it's also like Oh god And he'll go like Daredevil. I'm I've always been bad at sucking. Oh, oh, oh, ow, no, uh huh. Yeah. And then I uh my cat was done doing the two, got out, and so I bent over Uh I bent over I just uh nothing. Hey, that was the song. Uh I've also discovered the FX show Dave, which might be the funniest TV show I've seen in five years. Um, you can tell if she's happy with it.

How would you know? I haven't seen it yet. Put your pants. What's going on? But you know, I don't know if this is a true quote, but it's an interesting quote. Serendipity's around the corner. Yeah. Are you aware of the fan thing? Yes. I think it's an impediment So I don't know, and I think I'm getting slightly better at talking to it and You can basically delete all the threads, delete sp or sorry sorry, delete all the chats, you can delete specific chats. You'll already have canceled two podcasts by the time you found it. It's he's really r he's nobody else could have played that part. You I had to make something that would look good in a preview. Um this week's challenge was to play a harmonica.

But it it is like no, the harmonica, the harmonica. No. It is And he lost two hundred and forty pounds on that in a year. You're relying on a system of computers. But Oh yeah, no, it's funny. You have not. Totally fine. What had happened was I It's still magic to me. Like maybe the hair makes it go faster. Do you know the difference between kidnapping and false imprisonment? Are you just using your left hand? Are you a bully? I think this is really gonna be annoying to people. It's how I learned everlone, it's how I learned whatever. Have you listened to the record? Oh, you could be that guy already and I wouldn't know. Like I'm making stuff and I'm putting it out. I still don't have plugins.

That was My original idea was But then Alex. That's that's I You like you're a clean girl, aren't you? You know what truck knots are? Well d I b it means that Do they backwash a lot? I really like it. Do you know what uh Larry David I know Larry David and I also know what Larry David means in this instance. And uh at least I was talking about how much I love the theme, the Nicholas Breitel theme. Yeah, yeah. What And it was so funny to hear Michael Jackson saying penis. I really love the Germans in the second I love the Germans. I I've been creating different threads, you know? I think Michael Batman would say that's not wholesome. Put your Was it penis? And he was very u understandably very upset if somebody had to go, you know It depends on the situation that's going on.

And I'm like, well I can't tell if there's gonna f But how do you best deploy what you have at your disposal? So I wanted to, you know, try something new. Like where where are all the the conversations you've had? It oh heck yeah. No, no. And he wrote. I've always been so enamored. I I I don't get the engagement I used to, but that's okay because I don't It's like the rec the rectives doc, which we really need to work on Hi I know I know you're full of itches, but I'm sorry. Yeah, that was the song. Normally I'm mmm This isn't the first time. Yeah. Can you make it its own track, whatever it is you've done with Screechy Scratch? This is not the show, is it? Doth protest? I know what I'm saying.

And I don't know if you remember how that felt the first time. Oh my god. It says like, you know, uh temperatures in Chicago are like shockingly warm or something like that. I also like the blonde girl. I would love to share my heart rate with people because we have that technology. No, I just said um No, no, I'm wearing uh actually a qu a cortex shirt I'm not. And in my case, somebody somebody rolls up so to to I do too. Uh-huh. I totally t like peanut buttered and I was going to show how bad I was, but it's But I'm good. I'm becoming a little bit anti-spoiler community, but I don't want to be public about it. That's that's more recent, but I don't have the plugins yet. Well it could be both.

What is it Thomas Edison said? It's an under it is, first of all, I gotta say off the off the top. Play it. Like I'm like a Jared from Subway with that goddamn jewelry cleaner. Alex sent me a photograph because I told Alex I was taking a shit and I would be done soon. Oh no, there's bespoke wipes. Isn't that Froger? Yeah. The videos for those, and the way it's done is That's handy. I cannot put my heart rate into the ATT said they said you will. In summary, uh both of these are excellent choices for diatonic harmonicas. It's too Now now it's gonna play again. Har I'm good at blowing, I'm bad at sucking. I think a lot of people wonder if they wipe it. It's four words. Oh, do I know what truck nuts are?

Who's why why is literally why is no one talking about Do you have any sense? I just I literally Now this I think this challenge is kind of interesting and and I'm gonna I'm gonna talk about the show on the show for just a second. And I I hope it's both. It's Did you see the onion article? God, oh really? Technically it was just that that's as far as I got. So I'm trying not to use it too much because I don't want to affect my future. It is fun. It could be both. I I discovered this band. So this is the trap remix. I don't do YouTube thumbnails with my mouth. I don't know. I understand. So You got a wet harmonica. You go out and you look for those shitty websites. Oh my god, climate change. Oh no.

I know of Ruth's. What are the commonalities? No, and he playin'. I just choose not to. Or it's not as big a deal. You look like you're clean back there, don't you? Marker. Isn't that Frogger season? Uh no. I like the strawberry blonde. And I'm getting I'm getting a little bit back into guitar right now, just a little bit, which is nice. Yeah It's a little bit like David Allen-ish. Something like most people fear hard work That's what the job was. The podcasts aren't cancelled. Did you see did you happen to see the album art? I love all three of them so much. You ready? I don't know. I can also do vibr I can I can also do vibrato I liked it even better the second time. No, I don't have plugins, but I know I want the plugins.

Um so and then you so the cat is in there Alright, you need a variant though. Oh really, really, I really. I think there should be The nuts you see on the back of a truck? Oh, is it because you said penis? And I've just played it over and over just to hear him say penis. Yeah, I caption those keystrokes. I'm like no no no, it's a harmonica. Oh sorry. That's not a wholesome way to lose 240 pounds a year. I might Whether it's a an Uno or a Deuce. I'm the first person who discovered this band. What are the differences? You're like, wait a minute. No, you're thinking of Ruth Bolton. I always feel like it's out of tune when I suck. I'm not as into the Dremel right now. Absolutely. And then you you played a C chord.

Oh god Oh oh it's almost there. Like it it was able to suss all that out. Just do the thing. Here get get in the trunk of my car. Uh wait, sidebar session. I think we should make a computer that tells people our velocity. I Oh wait, wait! I like girls. But Honestly, I really do. Oh no. That's it, yeah. But you know what? We just watched we just watched one. Truck nuts with a Z Where is it? Oh sorry, abandoned. And uh and Did you hear Chris and Andy talk about it? That's probably just me. Are you you're right handed, right? I just did the thing. He's the warden of the north. You went like this. But all the Dremel stuff Do you remember that? Her name is Alex. Um I thought it was so funny. Oh I should say.

I need to show you something. Don't worry about it. We How do you not Yes. raw transcript
