Sam [00:00:21]:
Hello and welcome to episode 576 of the Chris and Sam podcast.
Chris [00:00:25]:
I’m Chris.
Sam [00:00:26]:
And I’m Sam. Welcome along. This is one of New Zealand’s longest running podcasts. This is that a lot of people have not heard of, honestly. Welcome. I was thinking about it on the drive over here today and I was like, yeah, coming up, 12 years.
Chris [00:00:40]:
Yeah, I said that to somebody the other day. I’m speaking on their podcast. Well, I put my application in podcast and I said, oh, yeah, we’ve got a podcast. But I don’t tell anybody because they keep going, oh, can we be a guest? And I’m like, we don’t do guests. And then their minds melt because they do podcasts with no guests. Yes.
Sam [00:01:06]:
This week I’m gonna give a shout out to Harley. He’s from the guy on Harley podcast, friend of the show, filmmaker all round, crazy dude doing random things and interesting things. I don’t know if you’ve seen the latest stats on this bit, but I’m gonna tell you, I haven’t seen the
Chris [00:01:20]:
latest stats, but I did watch it after you told me about it and I can’t get it out of my mind.
Sam [00:01:25]:
So he’s a master at creating some viral content. He’s done it in the past where he was half shaven, ended up on
Chris [00:01:32]:
Ellen DeGeneres Show y.
Sam [00:01:34]:
And he has made a 25 second video. And the gist of it, I’m sorry if this sounds disgusting, but I do have to explain it. His dog buddy goes for a crap and he catches. He’s put his hand in a plastic bag, maybe a bread bag.
Chris [00:01:51]:
It looked like a bread bag.
Sam [00:01:52]:
Yeah, I think it was bread bag. And the dog poops on his hand in a continuous non stop fashion. And he swirls it around so it sort of looks like a soft serve ice cream. And then at the end and he says, I used to work for McDonald’s. Yeah, perfect. It’s almost the perfect clip. Within the first, I don’t know, six hours, million views. And it just kept going.
Chris [00:02:14]:
So where are we now?
Sam [00:02:15]:
Over 13 million views.
Chris [00:02:16]:
Holy crap. It was 8 million when I shared it with the guys at work.
Sam [00:02:20]:
And that is at 13 million views of a 25 second clip. The watch time is 4 years, 26 days, 13 hours. Holy crap. And I haven’t seen it organically pop up on my feed anywhere else, so I don’t know if it’s Decided not to show it to me again. I don’t know what the actual figure is now. That was one day ago. He did say that it took him. That was his fourth attempt, I think, in six months.
Sam [00:02:47]:
So he had the idea for whatever reason. I don’t know what influenced this because
Chris [00:02:51]:
he’s a sick puppy and.
Sam [00:02:53]:
Well, no, I’m assuming he’s seen the dog go for a crap and he would have gone, that looks like soft serve. I don’t know what the dog’s eating, to be honest. I don’t know what Buddy’s eating. But yeah, good on him to go viral. And, you know, it’ll. It’ll be one of those ones that’ll probably just keep appearing every now and then. I do not know if he somehow made money from this. I hope he has.
Sam [00:03:13]:
I hope he’s got merch or. I don’t know, just something like.
Chris [00:03:16]:
Yeah, he. He’s pretty onto it. So he’s done quite well recently with production. I. I caught up with him when I was up. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, briefly. And we had a quick chat. He was walking Buddy and yeah, he’s been doing quite a few producer things.
Chris [00:03:33]:
So, yeah, he’s. He’s. He’s on his feet. He’s doing well.
Sam [00:03:38]:
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was the New Zealand producer of that rally film.
Chris [00:03:42]:
Rally film, Yeah. I think that was what he was talking about at the time.
Sam [00:03:46]:
Did you hear the silly story about Allbirds? I want your opinion on this.
Chris [00:03:49]:
No, All Birds, the. The shoe guys.
Sam [00:03:51]:
Yep. So it’s organic shoes. I’m pretty sure Quentin was a fan of theirs for some reason. I think he had a pair. I don’t know how I know this, but my brain has retained this.
Chris [00:04:00]:
Yeah, I think you’re right.
Sam [00:04:01]:
So he was early and on. I think because they did quite good social media or outreach here in New Zealand first. I think.
Chris [00:04:08]:
Yeah, they. They sort of got fairly popular here in New Zealand, then went overseas a. But they were, we know, seats pretty early on, but.
Sam [00:04:15]:
That’s right. And then they opened stores in the US and stuff. Their sales started plummeting. Around 2022 started coming down. They were valued at north of $4 billion at one time.
Chris [00:04:29]:
Right. And then when they had all the. What do you call it, the logistical problems after Covid, everything went a bit crappy, right?
Sam [00:04:37]:
I assume so, yeah. So they sold all of its intellectual property and other assets for $39 million. They’re going to continue to sell the products under the Allbirds brand. But if you’re all Birds Themselves, like the parent company, I guess, or whatever. What are you going to do? What do you pivot to? What’s the next logical step?
Chris [00:05:00]:
Something else that’s biodegradable.
Sam [00:05:02]:
Did you say an AI company?
Chris [00:05:04]:
Oh, no, no.
Sam [00:05:07]:
They are going to AI companies everywhere. No, they’re doing it. It’s going to be called Newbird AI. They’re announcing a deal to raise up to $50 million in funding and their share price jumped up and now they’re apparently valued at $21 million. I’m currently watching Silicon Valley again and this just is. It’s just nuts.
Chris [00:05:30]:
I should watch Silicon Valley again. That’s so good that, that series.
Sam [00:05:33]:
That’s quite.
Chris [00:05:34]:
I love it.
Sam [00:05:34]:
I find it a solid series that you can just watch anyway.
Chris [00:05:37]:
Watch and rewatch.
Sam [00:05:38]:
You can like, what’s it called?
Chris [00:05:40]:
Bazinga.
Sam [00:05:41]:
Big Bang Theory.
Chris [00:05:42]:
Big Bang Theory, yeah.
Sam [00:05:43]:
Do you think at one, some point the Chris Hasan podcast would pivot to AI? AI?
Chris [00:05:50]:
Now, I did have a thought about that. Oh, I sent, I sent you a thing on Telegram today.
Sam [00:05:56]:
Yes, I read that. About the clips.
Chris [00:05:58]:
About the clips. So it’s not exactly AI, but I think that’s a pivoty thing.
Sam [00:06:02]:
It’s interesting though, because the gist of the story is there’s a huge market, there’s companies doing it now and they’re making clips because short form content is quite invasive, I guess, or people really like it and they’re getting like so many more views on short view content. Yeah, but which is, you know, really cool. Like you can’t do when.
Chris [00:06:21]:
When we say a lot more. So these guys in this article is. These guys are doing a podcast and they get 16,000 views or something like that, which is, you know, decent, pretty decent on their live podcast or whatever. But they’re getting 37 times that, so 700,000 or something.
Sam [00:06:38]:
On the clips.
Chris [00:06:39]:
On the clips. So they’re actually. This one company was talking about is actually monetizing clips rather than monetizing the podcast. The podcast is just there to make clips.
Sam [00:06:48]:
Yeah. And they’ve got like an ad at the end of the clip. I read and I was like, oh, that’s interesting. But thinking about us on such a small, microscopic scale, our clips do way better than the podcast downloads. Yeah, but you have to make the content. That’s what I was thinking about. Like, it didn’t sort of touch on that. I was like, you have to make something that’s at least clippable.
Chris [00:07:09]:
Yeah, exactly. And I mean, and that’s why I like that article, because for me, it was like, I’d never thought of clips as being a thing.
Sam [00:07:19]:
No.
Chris [00:07:19]:
And the guy that wrote the article was the same. He was like, people went, oh, I see you watch the podcast. And they go, no, I’ve seen your clips. And he’s like. And that’s sort of just the adverts for the podcast. But it’s like, no, for these people, the clips are the content. The podcast they can’t be bothered with.
Sam [00:07:37]:
And there was some big creator and he was paying them. Was it a million a month to create clips?
Chris [00:07:42]:
Yeah.
Sam [00:07:43]:
Which is sort of. Yeah, it makes sense.
Chris [00:07:46]:
Well, it makes sense if you’re getting that money back, so.
Sam [00:07:49]:
Oh, shit. That’s the bit we’re missing.
Chris [00:07:52]:
Hey, speaking of AI, actually, have you seen the Facebook thing? So Sam sent me a message the other day of a photo of me that popped up on Facebook and it’s like a screen grab of the video. And he goes, what did you say? He said something like, where did they get that mug shot of you to put on this thing? Because it really did look like a mug shot.
Sam [00:08:18]:
I said, loving the criminal look in the thumbnail. You look terrible. You look like a psycho.
Chris [00:08:23]:
So I immediately blamed our marketing manager, which is very uncharitable of me and totally incorrect.
Sam [00:08:30]:
Threw them under the bus.
Chris [00:08:31]:
So Meta has this new AI partner for business accounts.
Sam [00:08:38]:
Okay.
Chris [00:08:38]:
And it’s called Manus M A N
Sam [00:08:43]:
U S. Hang on, are you.
Chris [00:08:44]:
Yes, yes, I’m getting there, I’m getting there. So that takes the video and it just clips some random look in the middle, which just happens to be me looking the worst I could possibly be.
Sam [00:08:56]:
Yeah, I don’t even think you could do that manually.
Chris [00:08:59]:
No. And then, you know, put a summary of it. We, I think we, we. We were going to ask Martin, the marketing manager, to turn that off for our thing, but this thing, Manus. So I’ve got a couple of images here. So meet Manus, your new AI work partner. This has got the Meta logo at the top. Use Manus to create posts for your page that engage your audience.
Chris [00:09:23]:
And then below it, I’ve got another image here that says this. Well, it’s an AI overview from Gemini Menace or is a New Zealand slang term for an idiot or imbecile. Often used in schoolyards and popularized by 2000s drink driving PSA. It is distinct from a manu, a cannon, boy ball style splash drive, and is likely derived from a slang term for male and anus.
Sam [00:09:51]:
Do you. I’ve got a.
Chris [00:09:52]:
So the key aspects of Mana slang. It means foolish person, loser or embassy Good. And the origin is that ad anti drink driving ad back in the day.
Sam [00:10:05]:
I just get the feeling like it’s almost a Silicon Valley episode where Gavin Belson announces Manus and those two guys that like lick his ass. Those two. This is amazing. And everybody else is like, it’s like an anus with an M. And the logo probably would have been a big M and then a weird anus. And they were like, no, it’s great.
Chris [00:10:27]:
It’s crapping out the anus.
Sam [00:10:30]:
Yeah, maybe. So that’s.
Chris [00:10:32]:
Anyway, so I thought you’d, I thought you’d appreciate that. So you know, MET is doing the
Sam [00:10:36]:
AI thing and they picked the world’s worst photo of you. Like that’s so crazy.
Chris [00:10:41]:
You’re going to have to include that in the show notes. Now.
Sam [00:10:43]:
We will have that kickstart or drop kick this week. I’ve got it for you.
Chris [00:10:48]:
Okay, go for it.
Sam [00:10:48]:
You’ve got two. We’re going to do rewind picks first. I’m not going to give you a choice. This is a non disposable digital camera. Okay. And the reason I say that is it has no screen on the back so you can’t see what you’re taking. It’s got a generic viewfinder that you look through, you take your photos, but they are digital.
Chris [00:11:05]:
All right?
Sam [00:11:05]:
So that’s what I mean by that.
Chris [00:11:07]:
So you have to download them to look at.
Sam [00:11:09]:
Well, there’s a companion app and there’s a lot of settings that you can just tell the camera to do. And there’s a little, little tiny monochrome one line screen on the back where it just says you’ve got this many photos left. Cause you can say, I want this in film mode. I can only take 36 photos. And then after that you gotta like, you know, download them.
Chris [00:11:30]:
And the form factor’s like an old
Sam [00:11:32]:
cat, old school camera. Multiple different colors. Quick glance, you’re like, it looks plastic. It looks like a random generic basic camera.
Chris [00:11:40]:
Okay?
Sam [00:11:41]:
So they are going for about 185 New Zealand dollars, which I don’t think is too bad. Not too bad. They want $25,000 to reach their goal and there’s 25 days to go.
Chris [00:11:56]:
So they’re more than halfway through. So I’d say they’re over 100 grand now. 150 grand I’m going to say. And yeah, I’m not sure about that one. What’s the lenses like? Oh, it looks good.
Sam [00:12:11]:
Reasonably reasonably good. Apparently they. Well, they say it is. There’s a few. There’s heaps of reviews. I’ve already put out review units to YouTubers and stuff. There’s. Yeah, that’s pretty cool.
Sam [00:12:25]:
A lot of little features. So what was your guess?
Chris [00:12:27]:
150 grand?
Sam [00:12:29]:
$1.2 million. That’s. All right. I. This would be almost something I made back. It’s at a price point where I’m almost like, it’s okay. It seems like it’s a solid company, which. So I think they’ll fulfill it.
Chris [00:12:44]:
Yeah. And I mean, sometimes it feels good to not use your phone to take photos. I get sometimes annoyed cause I’m watching something on YouTube and then I’ve got to take a photo of a document and I’m like, I’ve got to use my phone for this more.
Sam [00:12:59]:
Probably for landscape and things outside instead of a document. But I guess you could use. Okay. The other one I found, which is the definitive hardcover collection of GI Joe, A Real American Hero comic collection. And it’s apparently the first 300 issues, and it’s broken down into like eight books. And you can buy the first four, the second four, all eight, or PDF only versions. It’s all. There’s a lot to choose from.
Sam [00:13:34]:
Now they need GI Joe. Yeah.
Chris [00:13:37]:
So the comic come before the doll or the doll come before the comic? I have no idea. I’ve never. I didn’t even know there was a GI Joe comic, to be honest with you.
Sam [00:13:44]:
Great question. I don’t know.
Chris [00:13:46]:
Yeah.
Sam [00:13:46]:
Anyway, I think the comic book first and then that would have made the action figure if I was to guess.
Chris [00:13:51]:
Yeah.
Sam [00:13:52]:
It’s only six days to go. They want to raise $67,000.
Chris [00:13:56]:
$5 million.
Sam [00:13:58]:
Hang on, hang on, hang on. I’ll tell you what. Hang on. Well, I’ll tell you how much this stuff costs. So it’s printed anyway. The PDF alone is $200.
Chris [00:14:08]:
Holy shit. $10 million.
Sam [00:14:10]:
All printed books are $1,000. So it’s eight books. So it’s a thousand bucks. And if you want everything. So it’s the books, the PDFs and something else. It’s $2,000. So I’m setting the groundwork there for you.
Chris [00:14:22]:
Yeah, no, I’m going to say six. Six and a half million.
Sam [00:14:25]:
3.7 million. Yep.
Chris [00:14:28]:
Okay.
Sam [00:14:28]:
3.7 million. You did pretty well there.
Chris [00:14:31]:
You just.
Sam [00:14:31]:
You’re just going. Go high no matter what.
Chris [00:14:33]:
It’s going to go high no matter what. But I. I mean, GI Joe as a collectible is a. I mean, it’s not a thing. I Don’t think it’s a big thing for us here. I think I was too old for the GI Joe. Well, too young, whatever, but the right age group and in America, I think it would be huge.
Sam [00:14:49]:
Yeah. I mean, this is a nostalgia trip here. You know, you’re tapping into it. I don’t know if this thing itself will be a collectible item. Like collectors will have the actual original comics.
Chris [00:14:59]:
Yeah, exactly.
Sam [00:15:00]:
But, yeah, it’s pretty interesting. I was surprised at how much it was, the cost and how much they’ve made. Actually, on that one. I wasn’t expecting that.
Chris [00:15:10]:
I do wonder, is it limited edition on any of those books?
Sam [00:15:14]:
I think there might be.
Chris [00:15:16]:
I think they’re trying to.
Sam [00:15:17]:
There were so many. I was just like, oh, okay. I’m not listing all these prices.
Chris [00:15:21]:
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, no, no.
Sam [00:15:22]:
The 2000 dollar one’s probably got everything.
Chris [00:15:24]:
So I think the. We talked about the. What, Matt Dinnerman. Yeah. And I think that was a limited edition.
Sam [00:15:34]:
All right. Okay.
Chris [00:15:35]:
But that’s original. So that’s the first, you know.
Sam [00:15:37]:
Yeah, yeah.
Chris [00:15:38]:
Ripping off somebody else’s stuff or a copy of something that’s already been done. So. Yeah. And I sort of still gutted that I didn’t back. I couldn’t afford to back it.
Sam [00:15:46]:
But you can’t afford that.
Chris [00:15:47]:
I can’t afford anything like that.
Sam [00:15:49]:
Now, you’ll be happy to know that Amazon is going to have some more satellites soon.
Chris [00:15:53]:
Right.
Sam [00:15:53]:
They have just spent $11 billion on buying a satellite company to get more satellites up into space because they don’t have enough. They need more.
Chris [00:16:00]:
Yeah. What’s their thing called?
Sam [00:16:03]:
Their one Cobra.
Chris [00:16:05]:
No. Oh, yeah. It’s the Kyber Kuiper. Kuiper, as in the Kuiper belt?
Sam [00:16:11]:
Is that what. It doesn’t actually say K, U, Y, P, E, R. Okay. I think it’s Leo. It’s Amazon Leo.
Chris [00:16:20]:
Oh. Kuiper was their version of Starlink.
Sam [00:16:23]:
Well, this is what this is. But this says it’s leo. So whatever. Amazon’s version of Starlink.
Chris [00:16:29]:
I know that there was a big kerfuffle about it because people went, what’s. Kuiper’s a crap name because it’s a German name. It’s named after the guy that discovered the Kuiper belt.
Sam [00:16:39]:
Yeah.
Chris [00:16:40]:
And they go, well, and all the nerds loved it. But anybody who’s in marketing went, kuyper doesn’t. Nobody knows how to say it.
Sam [00:16:49]:
Oh, okay, Maybe they did a pivot there. So Starlink has 10,000 active satellites with 10 million paying customers. Amazon only has 200 satellites currently and they’re really just trying to tap into it.
Chris [00:17:05]:
Oh yeah, it’s a money maker, no doubt, and it’ll do really well. And of course, you know, when, when wars go from being national wars to corporate wars, you know, SpaceX versus Amazon war will need to have their own satellites or else they’re all screwed.
Sam [00:17:24]:
That’s right, that’s right. Apparently there’s some sort of agreement though. I think they have to get them all done by like July or some stupid time frame. They gotta, there’s a window of time they have to carry on with whatever they’re doing. Actually talking about wars. The chimp civil war’s happening at the moment.
Chris [00:17:41]:
Oh, I did, I saw a headline.
Sam [00:17:44]:
I just didn’t look at it once in a 500 year. The scientists tell me chimpanzee civil war has broken out in Uganda.
Chris [00:17:53]:
Oh really?
Sam [00:17:54]:
Yeah. So they’ve done this long.
Chris [00:17:56]:
See, I thought it was just a couple of chimps fighting in a zoo somewhere, so I didn’t even bother reading it.
Sam [00:18:01]:
No. So they’ve been doing a long term study on these guys forever. There’s 200 of them in the wild and around 2015 their fracture appeared and they split. And there’s a really large group called the central group and a small group called the Western chimps. And pretty much that was. I’m glad no one could see that. It was terrible. But like the last six years it’s just been escalating and they’re going in and raiding each other and killing each other and very civil war.
Sam [00:18:35]:
Like they’ve, they’ve called it that because obviously it’s got very similar comparisons.
Chris [00:18:41]:
It’s chimp on chimp.
Sam [00:18:43]:
Anyway, yeah, they, I don’t know how they got to every 500 years, but they’re saying that the study supports the ideas that group identities can shift and override even deep social bonds. And I guess these guys are just getting. They’re just watching it unfold.
Chris [00:18:58]:
Damn. I keep thinking about Planet of the Apes recently. I don’t know why.
Sam [00:19:03]:
Okay.
Chris [00:19:04]:
It was such a cool program. All right, now you’re talking about the
Sam [00:19:08]:
original one, aren’t you? None of the new movies.
Chris [00:19:10]:
No. Yeah, not the movies, the original. I haven’t seen the movies. I’ve mentioned. I was going to talk about this last week. The spam email I got. It’s not exactly spam because it’s definitely too me.
Sam [00:19:22]:
Okay.
Chris [00:19:22]:
And it’s just the way he wrote it. So I’m going to read out what was written by Gabe.
Sam [00:19:29]:
Okay.
Chris [00:19:30]:
Hi, Chris. I was looking for people to send uninvited emails to and found you. Congrats, you’re the chosen one.
Sam [00:19:39]:
Okay.
Chris [00:19:39]:
I saw that you’re a pitch coach and you help founders, entrepreneurs and business owners craft and develop their message. I’ve created a little known process that attracts more of the right clients. People who can afford you and want to work with you. I created a quick video walking you through it. If you want to take a peek, just reply back. So no, it didn’t give me the link. I’ve got to reply.
Sam [00:19:59]:
Yeah, because what you’re doing is saying, yes, this email is an active email address. And then they’ll just go hard on you in brackets.
Chris [00:20:07]:
Or you can tell me to beat it. At least you’d be replying, which is more than my ex wife did.
Sam [00:20:13]:
Okay. I quite like that line. Yeah. Okay, thanks, A.I.
Chris [00:20:17]:
gabe. And then it goes. P.S. some people use this to escape the client hunting. They clear up their schedule and focus on what matters while the business keeps growing. If that sounds more like your thing, let me know. Smiley face.
Sam [00:20:29]:
So this sounds sort of legitimate.
Chris [00:20:31]:
It does. And I’m sort of like some points for originality, but not quite hitting the mark for me anyway.
Sam [00:20:40]:
Oh yeah, I know. And we don’t want you clicking links or watching videos because you’ll try and buy something.
Chris [00:20:44]:
I know.
Sam [00:20:45]:
We have to stop you doing that. I know you are like, you’re not supervised very much here, so.
Chris [00:20:52]:
Yeah, not supervised at all. Hey, did you see the. What. Who was it again? Giddy Images Won the White House Correspondence association award for excellence in visual coverage with their photo of the year.
Sam [00:21:06]:
Oh yeah, I saw you post the photo.
Chris [00:21:09]:
Yeah, it’s the photo of Trump just standing there like a statue looking at the camera while this guy’s having a stroke or whatever.
Sam [00:21:18]:
It was heart attack, I think in the corner.
Chris [00:21:20]:
It was. And he’s lying on the ground.
Sam [00:21:21]:
He just looks, he looks so removed and. Oh, it’s just. Anyway, it’s interesting. Like, do we. Do they give links of runners up? There was.
Chris [00:21:32]:
There was. I. I didn’t clip it and put it in this, but there were in the.
Sam [00:21:36]:
Oh, I know. I’m just wondering because like, because they gave.
Chris [00:21:39]:
They didn’t show the photos of them. They, they said these other four or five people had won.
Sam [00:21:44]:
Oh yeah.
Chris [00:21:45]:
Whether it’s different categories or runners or whatever. They were. Yeah.
Sam [00:21:48]:
Crazy. I just. At some point, I assume Trump is going to die. And then we hope. Yeah.
Chris [00:21:58]:
Like, I mean if, if he’s immortal. We’re absolutely screwed.
Sam [00:22:02]:
Well, it does seem like he’s the Antichrist. I don’t know. But like later on thinks he’s Christ. Later on Doctor.
Chris [00:22:13]:
It’s a fine line between Christ and doctor. You know, they mean the same thing in some languages. I’m sure they do.
Sam [00:22:19]:
I’m sure they don’t. But you know like they do biographies on. On. On past presidents and stuff. The amount of content. So like, you know they do. When you hear them talk about like books on Lincoln or whoever, they’ll be like, oh, there was like three big books or whatever there was. There’s gonna be so many.
Chris [00:22:41]:
There’s already something.
Sam [00:22:42]:
No, I know, but when. But the story hasn’t finished. We need the story to finish.
Chris [00:22:46]:
I know.
Sam [00:22:47]:
So we’ve got an ending.
Chris [00:22:48]:
Oh, after he’s dead. It’s not gonna be finished. No, it’s gonna be finished. Till they figured out this whole Epstein thing. It’ll be. We will be dead before it’s finished.
Sam [00:22:57]:
There’s so much. There’s so much.
Chris [00:22:59]:
I know. Anyway, actually, I wanna add one to the JFK file.
Sam [00:23:03]:
I think I know what this is.
Chris [00:23:04]:
I didn’t. I don’t want to go into it in detail because it’s just the headline.
Sam [00:23:09]:
Is this more. This is the other animal he found.
Chris [00:23:12]:
Yeah. J.F. rFK Jr. Cut off a dead raccoon’s penis on a family vacation. Quote to study later. Do you in an all new book revealed private journals that detailed a series of unusual and personal incidents from Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s life, including an absurd scenario involving raccoon genitalia.
Sam [00:23:36]:
I got two questions.
Chris [00:23:38]:
I don’t know if I have any answers, but go.
Sam [00:23:40]:
No, you won’t. How far away do you think he is from being a serial killer?
Chris [00:23:45]:
Oh, dude, that is actually a really
Sam [00:23:47]:
good question because he’s obviously wired a certain way. I don’t know.
Chris [00:23:52]:
I know what you mean. Yeah, no, I hadn’t thought of that. And you’re absolutely right.
Sam [00:23:55]:
But he’s sort of just taking bits and pieces. I don’t know anyway and. Or do you think he’s already hunched humans?
Chris [00:24:02]:
Oh, Jesus. He could have actually.
Sam [00:24:04]:
He could have.
Chris [00:24:05]:
If anyone could have. If you were going line up the number of people that could have been hunting humans in this Epstein class. I mean, he’s up there.
Sam [00:24:14]:
He’s definitely up there. I don’t know. He’s just so interesting.
Chris [00:24:18]:
I had a thing on Amazon. Cause we talked about Amazon before, but then I’ve forgotten to put the link In. But I can tell you what basically the story was.
Sam [00:24:26]:
Yeah, good. I believe you. Yeah, I probably shouldn’t, but you carry on.
Chris [00:24:31]:
No, somebody died in the Amazon warehouse.
Sam [00:24:33]:
Oh. Don’t worry.
Chris [00:24:34]:
And that’s basically what happened. Nobody moved him for an hour or. I don’t think they noticed him for an hour.
Sam [00:24:39]:
Everyone thought, okay, okay.
Chris [00:24:42]:
And then, Then when he was found, they called paramedics. Don’t touch him because, you know, we’ll call the paramedics. And the paramedics come in and one woman was told, no, don’t look that way. Just turn around and keep working.
Sam [00:24:57]:
Yeah, yeah, you have to. You have to pee in your bottle.
Chris [00:25:00]:
Yeah. And the air conditioning’s not really working very well because they put sound curtains up and it stopped the airflow. So it’s ridiculously hot in this warehouse, and they wonder if that’s got something to do with it.
Sam [00:25:13]:
Probably. But the bottom line is the packages are getting out to customers and that’s the most important thing. So Jeff Bezos and his penis rocket can go to space and drop off satellites. Well done. He’s getting there.
Chris [00:25:28]:
Oh, and did you see the McDonald’s CEO?
Sam [00:25:32]:
What’s he done now?
Chris [00:25:34]:
He had an interview with sporked. Now, apparently sporked.com is a real thing. Okay, Iffy about this website, but anyway,
Sam [00:25:44]:
never heard of it. And so is he doing this interview to try and get a better public image? Like at the end of the day?
Chris [00:25:53]:
Oh, no, the interview was with the Wall Street Journal. Sporked, who I’m reading on about.
Sam [00:25:58]:
But is that what he’s doing? Trying to do a PR thing? Because at the end of the day, nobody cares about the CEO of McDonald’s. Though he should talk to Harley about
Chris [00:26:07]:
his new ice cream choked with flavoured. Well, basically, he’s blamed the whole thing on his mum.
Sam [00:26:16]:
Hang on, hang on. Well, okay.
Chris [00:26:19]:
The big Arch drama, which we will henceforth be calling it, kept us all very entertained in the first few months of 2026.
Sam [00:26:26]:
Yeah.
Chris [00:26:26]:
But sadly for Kipzinski, it was at his expense. It all began when the McDonald’s CEO recorded the thing where he took a bite out of a new Big Arch burger. Unfortunately, everything about the video fell off. His delivery was stilted, his bite was comically small, and his reaction of that is so good made us feel frank. The burger was anything but good.
Sam [00:26:50]:
Yeah, we talked about it a couple of times because it just kept going on.
Chris [00:26:53]:
So in his sit down interview with the Wall Street Journal, seen via Instagram, Kimchinski said the lessons he learned from his mom. And his youth might be the in his youth might be the root of it all. I blame it all on my mum because she told me, don’t talk with your mouth full. And I think probably in that case I should have just said, you know what? To hell with it. I’m going to talk with my mouth full.
Sam [00:27:17]:
This sounds like the weakest excuse, throwing his mum under the bus. I don’t like the guy any more than I originally did.
Chris [00:27:24]:
He’s weird. He’s weird.
Sam [00:27:27]:
He could be a serial killer.
Chris [00:27:28]:
And he’s got a really annoying name to read.
Sam [00:27:32]:
He could be eating people. Cannibal. He’s not used to normal food. He wants to eat human flesh. Anyway, that brings us to the end of the podcast. Thanks for joining us.
Chris [00:27:44]:
Oh, I was gonna go. One last thing.
Sam [00:27:46]:
Oh, you always.
Chris [00:27:47]:
You always make me go over one last thing. What does Snoopy, Adolf and Password have in common?
Sam [00:27:53]:
I have no idea. Oh, the most common passwords used for computers.
Chris [00:27:59]:
Almost 800 Hungarian government email addresses and associate passwords are circling online. And those were the most common ones. The common passwords, Adolf and Password.
Sam [00:28:11]:
Okay.
Chris [00:28:13]:
Random Hungarian government passwords. Not what I would have guessed.
Sam [00:28:21]:
Not at all.
Chris [00:28:21]:
Anyway, I thought I’d leave you with that one because that’s short.
Sam [00:28:24]:
Okay. Make sure to come like us on Facebook, Instagram, and go check us out
