[Music] welcome to your fist kids I’m link and I’m Rhett this week at the roundtable of dim lighting is just the two of us greetings people of the future thank you for listening to this archaic form of entertainment audio entertainment known as a podcast specifically this one called ear biscuits the show I think a little less note called rhett and Link 2014 time capsule yeah to give a little context here to those of you listening in the present and those of you listening in to in the future I guess those of you who are the only one listening is present right well and then when I’m doing this you’re listening in the press into in the short-term future and those of you listening in in a long-term future to different groups of people and then all them in between this is how this works we thought that it would be appropriate and you know almost mandated by us personally important to take stock of the way that we are seeing the world these days not not as personally but the way the world is in terms of technology style what we’re like at this point trying to create an audio record to basically create an audio time capsule yeah inspired in part by our kind of off-the-cuff conversation with Hank green right where somehow we were speaking to people 2,000 years 2,000 years in the 2000 zeod like free the year 4000 something yes so what we’re doing it that people would be listening in 2,000 years 3 pompous I mean this one is just simply a 10-year capsule oh really yeah I think 2024 because it’s easy to remember is it’s not too much time to for people to forget so those of you who are listening in 2014 thank you by the way for taking this as it was given to you as it was intended make a note right now keep listening by the way ok listen to the whole thing but I want you to go ahead and get out your phones because you to forget this or take out your computer or what I guess you’re listening this on your phone or your computer they might need to tattoo themselves we know what kind of device are they gonna have the same phone is it gonna pour it over they’re gonna go from the cloud I assume if you put a reminder if you put a reminder in your phone for January first 20 24 less it doesn’t have to be an exact ten years let’s just say the New Year 2024 because we don’t even know what date this podcast this episode’s gonna come out necessarily you put a reminder in there and it just needs to say listen to that old ear biscuits if you can find it and hopefully hopefully you will be able to find it maybe you know you should you go back to the reminder and put the URL it’ll still be it’ll still work all you gotta do is think about it 20 years from now 10 years from now 10 years now I gotta just think about the podcast and you’ll start hearing it in your brain right now that would be a Google search will be thinking right so you’ll be thinking it now so that this is gonna be important well this is going to be it this is gonna be fun hopefully this team this is gonna be something it’ll be laughable for those of you listening in 2024 you’re already laughing I’ll listen to how they talk oh they speak English in those weird accents always now are we listening to this back to because are we still alive well I mean I certainly hope we are I mean if we mean that’s a thought if we live to the proper age or the expected age and we does certainly will be alive but certainly 10 years from now hope so there could be an accident but maybe that brings us to our next rhettandlink only your biscuit which is the eulogy your biscuit self eulogy I don’t mean to get so morbid here let’s keep it light let’s keep it listen let’s keep it real I think it’s important as we talk about these things we’ve got a few categories that we’re gonna kind of conversate through here yes it’s important that we’re honest there’s we don’t need to candy-coat or sugarcoat 2014 2014 it is what it is it is 4 it is what it is and here it is and we’re just describing it anticipating that 10 years from now we’re just gonna just cat call at you know so really Laurel and Hardy living in an old on Laurel and Ward’s do you want to start with comedy that’s an interesting state of comedy what in 2014 everything we’ve set up to this point was humorous see I’m candy Cody I’m already sugar cut well it was intended to be we think that were funny we think that we’re we’re thinking that this is a funny concept in 24 we think that we’re funny now we think that people will find this funny even what works they have a good sense of humor right now we think is funny we think this is funny we think that we’re being funny right now yeah in 2014 yeah ten years from now of course not this is first of all maybe we should set two reminders because 10 years from now you know what you should you you know what it should be a recurrent reminder and it should say every 10 years oh I think that’s probably an option because the Sabrina this is an incremental thing because I’d really don’t think that the sense of humor of evil is gonna be that different in ten years but a hundred years you know – after ten reminders you’ll probably be dead a so maybe eight reminders from now I think people get what we’re doing we should probably just start doing it because we’ve taken a lot of time just explaining the concept in 2014 let’s start with this in 2014 you can hold down the phone the button on your phone and you can speak into it and set a reminder yeah which is by the way the only way I have ever attempted to use Siri well and I will say one thing being a person who is usually around when link is reminding himself of something I told Siri I’m totally sure you can do lots of things I’ve never attempted anything he is horrible at setting reminders I the other day I watched him or listen to him try to remind himself about something I don’t remember what it was he never ended up reminding himself of it said I think it was set on alarm so we go surfing but in 2014 we do a thing called surfing you you missed like every every she got everything wrong and she like asked you if you wanted to do a web search about surfing or something I she did not respond well your thing that happens is in 2014 I’ll hold down this button and then I’ll be like Siri set my alarm for 5:00 a.m. and then it will it will be like I’ll well if we started talking too early and then it did it work it works oh whoa she did it first of all I should delete that one why don’t we go wake up at 5:00 a.m. but for the longest time I would I would start talking too late and I would say I don’t understand yeah but that and that’s the struggles of 2014 now but do you have you ever talked to your phone another way cuz I think that would be a good thing to put it in the time capsule yeah I asked the phone questions you asked it like um yet the serie where’s the nearest taco upstairs in the refrigerator what is it what is she she well she says there are 17 restaurants within 2 miles that serve tacos she’s probably right the nearest taco you you haven’t asked her right well yeah ask her right now Siri where is the nearest taco do you have to say Siri Taco Bell store locator okay del Taco locations those are not the best tacos within I didn’t say the best I said the nearest oh she knows what’s up where is the best taco Pirie okay so that’s my contribution voice activation yeah and I and let me just make a little prediction to see how Nostradamus IM i assume that in this when the first reminder dings in 2024 voice that your conversations with your phone will just be not not like talking to a person i don’t think it’s there yet but surely you just talk to phone normally right now when we want to tell the phone something we’d be we have to speak very clearly I don’t think that’s your gonna talk to your phone in a demeaning fashion like you’re talking to a person who can’t hear very well I never noticed this before but when you enunciate like that your mustache dances yeah well we could talk a little bit about it’s pretty cool our style it currently I do have a mustache and it’s attached to a full beard in two places I die on either side of your mouth yeah it’s a symmetrical beard I should describe you okay and you describe me so move the mic a little bit okay as if you really need a reference 2014 Rhett has a must as we said a mustache attached to a beard in two places on either side of his mouth yeah and he’s got a pretty long nose I don’t think much of that’s gonna change are you assuming they’re not gonna be able to like your nose is it gonna get shorter they’re not gonna be able to just search for pictures of like Rhett mcLaughlin 2014 why should why should they don’t me they’re listening to me alright painted panel panel lecture a mental picture at this point Rhett still has two eyes well instead of prediction yeah I’m implying that something’s gonna have and his hair his hair goes up and I see one I do see one wrinkle on your forehead I’m just gonna say it really oh when your eyebrows go up it comes to different yeah a bunch I’d call that a smile line I would call that a display when I’m smiling right well I call it an expression line I wouldn’t call it a wrinkle so I’m gonna give you the benefit of the doubt there and that’s about it you’re wearing headphones right now but you typically do that I’m I’m really good at making a time capsule worthless time cash he’s currently wearing headphones describe me you have on glasses there are a pair of glasses that you recently acquired I’d say in the past couple of months we’ve made a really big deal out about about it on good mythical morning glasses signify smarts okay and style in the in the year 2014 glasses make you smarter and you had but interestingly hipster man I’ll just go ahead and say you have a hipster pair of glasses you have a pair of glasses styled in like a 1950’s manner which is you know horn-rimmed a little bit but a little but also has a taste of modernity and it’s and they’re pretty stylish they’re two-tone they have it like an hombre like they’ve been dipped into the Sun on the bottom but it’s a subtle color change I picture some police catching spending a lot of time on your glasses you might be able to just Google a picture okay support my comment and interesting thing though is the word hipster is still thrown around a lot that’s been happening for the past six and a half years yeah the word hipster it’s a little derogatory and usually but we but worse we will call ourselves that gladly but people use it derogatorily but and they don’t the people who do that don’t really know what it means you’re right and neither do I really I don’t have a beard I’m drinking water out of out of a mug right now mugs mugs are still in use all right news in 2014 in perspective okay go ahead you I see pull you put your hair up on your forehead thank you you I’d say you have a little wrinkle a little line there yeah yeah definitely in the middle but no nowhere else eat nowhere else you look relatively young everywhere else your beard is strong its I mean it’s like it’s not there but it wants to come out like it looks like the follicles are strong your eyes are blue probably gonna stay the same I’m hoping your hair is uh black looks a little like a brown dark brown looks a little like a Thelma from scooby-doo and but I can’t really see that right now because you have headphones on but from a fashion perspective let’s let’s go a little serious here I mean you wearing a collared shirt with some ducks or something flying on it right he goes she goes this is fashionably questionable at this point I got a compliment on this shirt tonight twice from a fashion I mean you got skinny jeans yeah I do I we saw you we do that we’re criticized in Internet comments about that but skinny jeans are a thing that’s happening amongst hipsters I can’t even I can’t even think even now when I think back 10 years 15 years 20 years about how big jeans used to be what going back 15 years we had on jeans that my entire waist could fit in the knee easily like Genco jeans he could wear a lag of jeans and now we wear jeans I really can’t even get my legs in properly you know it’s really it I admit that it’s pathetic and impractical but I just I’m a slave to the see yourself because you’re self-conscious of it but in 10 years enough it may have come back again is that enough time it could be tights ten years from now or it could be lusus it could be really loose it could go back to that I think officially not a lot of fishin C is important in the future I believe that men and women all wear tights so those of you are listening in 24 20 24 in your tights Aloha that’s a common greeting now for hello but no not now in 2024 right but just clarifying now it just makes me think of Hawaii right it’s distinct it is distinctly Hawaiian to say a 2014 prediction in 2024 it’ll be the common world of greeting skinny ties skinny ties are still in but on the way out I was actually just looking at my tie collection to make a decision about the what we’re gonna wear to the streamys which at the time we were gonna wear what we have to think about yeah I think I’m wearing a skinny yeah and I believe that it’s a correct choice if you were a little fashion-forward and you’re pretty fashion or more fashion-forward than I am but if you were even more fashion for than you are you would have a short fat tie and I’m not I’m not blowing smoke I’m that’s coming back skinny ties are still yeah that’s what they’re selling but I’m saying within 12 months fat like so see like that only comes to like halfway down the shirt order and fatter like revealing the whole belt oh yes definitely hmm what are ties like in 2024 bolos in like rodeo communities maybe no I think bolos are a common practice it business business affairs are lots of lots of bolos every everything fits very snug now all the men have on bolos in tights I’m president Aloha I’m not gonna try to predict okay a time capsule the point of a time capsule is not to see how off we are about the future there well there are no rules that time capsule what a bats hats I’m glad you asked this question because you may have noticed those of you in the present 2020 for 2014 sorry that I have taken a couple of pictures have been featured in a couple of videos but via the Facebook and Instagram that kind of thing where I’m wearing a hat yes I have a hat you’re dabbling in hat äj– yeah and I’ve never been a fan of hats but I’m talking like a baseball hat well that’s because we were developing a mythical hat we are that’s a nice way for an announcement news break in 2014 I think later this this year we will have unveiled the first mythical hat which ten years from now will be all the rage yeah of course and we’re not joking about the mythical hat and that’s that’s true literally that’s why you’ve been wearing a hat well so that you could whenever we sell a hat you can the first hat you wear won’t be your own hat yeah is that just yeah Andrew from tweek who works with us on developing products brought in some sample hats and tried on all of them and I found one that I thought worked and it definitely is a flat brim hat it’s a high crown flat brim kind of a newt we call that new era style it’s sort of an urban look and that is what I’m supporting now and i’ve been criticized for it again the same people who criticize you for skinny jeans will criticize you for the flat bill hats they say it looks ridiculous and it may but i think that it looks better it is a it is a fashion state it is what’s in style now to wear a hat would and don’t don’t bend the brim and and the part that covers your head crown tall the crown is higher that’s called a high crown I wore one of those sample hats home and my family all said I was wearing to wrap her hat yeah a rapper hat that’s another term that’s what my kids think of it but they did my daughter is 11 she will be 21 when this time capsule is opened she’ll be of drinking age but no but the drinking age will probably have changed yeah the drinking age in 2014 is 21 years old in America um robots really suck in 2014 oh yeah we would have everyone think we’re so frustrated the frustration surrounding robots in this current 2014 is palpable uh well I would say it’s it’s it’s kind of under the surface but whenever seething you get anyone talking about robots they all agree robots suck we watch YouTube videos breathing nastiness into someone’s face just saying robot we we watch YouTube videos of robots but you know we watch them to see the robots fall and fail that’s that’s what we because there’s robots in Japan that can run well if you want to come using quotes around run a Simo will run a little bit but and maybe go up some stairs but he’ll fall down – but he’s not running to do anything now he’s running to show you here on in 2024 I hope I really hope he’s running to something he’s really door every running to get your kid he’s babysitting the children he’s running to catch a ball yeah doing whatever a CMO does or mr. robot in 2024 so robots suck currently we’re not happy at all with that remote control cars have not changed a whole lot the past 30 years I’m frustrated about that – yeah but not that much and I’m like my kids have remote-control cars and they are no different than the remote-control cars I had when I was their age I think they’ve peaked I think about 23 do you think they’re the same RC vehicles peaked okay your decide okay whatever I mean you could be right they definitely have not changed wearable stuff Google glass is still like something that people talk about but nobody has it or uses it no one that I know but we like we like to talk about that Google glass yeah yeah like talking about it puts us in the future yeah it makes us excited like if if you didn’t have a podcast where you could make a time capsule and like you know ramble on and anally like we are what you would be doing in 2014 is talking about Google glass like just drop it like you’re mentioning it did you hear about Rob I hear he’s one of the guys that got the Google glass and we got our hands on this thing and when it came here to our studio we for the nervous geek rap battle like the team was passing around a lot using it for a second nobody could figure out how to use it no no by the time I got to me I didn’t even I didn’t even put it on you gave up before you get started I wasn’t he after watching other people on the Google glass yeah I was like I don’t I’m not even interested in trying and you’ll notice that we say the Google glass we put of the in front of it 14 I I did wear the Google glass and I I took a video that’s how I said it I took a video like taking a picture but it’s a video and that means I recorded a video and I actually voice commanded the video to begin recording and then was able to wash it back I would say it was it was a thrilling experience it was it was a one-time thing I haven’t been back to it I mean we had to give the Google glass back but that’s where it is right now having something around your eyes like a glasses or whatever a monocle or a watch or like having something around your wrist that could be like oh this is an Apple watch or suppose well interestingly when we’re recording this next week is the the rumored announcement of the the iWatch not that it’s going to be immediately available for sale but that Apple is going to announce that I watch and and and I think a couple of other brands already have a SmartWatch or whatever but of course Apple doing it is a bigger deal and everyone’s excited about it but it’s it’s the fact that we’re going to have a watch that has the functionality and the technology of our phones currently this is an exciting idea in 2014 we’re excited about this we are I mean I looked at the you know the the pictures the theoretical pictures of the eye watch and immediately said yes I will have one of these and you’re willing to pay how much in 2014 dollars for it they said it was gonna be $300 I was thinking people will gladly pay $350 for it yeah of course and I don’t even know what it will do I don’t care what it will do if it does half of what my phone does and it’s on my wrist as a fashion device I’ll be pleased we do have Holograms in 2014 but again I mean it’s it’s they did a Tupac hologram like two years ago and at Coachella and then they did a Michael Jackson hologram at the Grammys I think and that’s that’s pretty much the extent of holograms so we’re frustrated holo thing right this again a very to me personally it’s like maybe if you can’t make a good robot at least make a good holographic robot yeah I feel very similar about robots and Holograms because these are things that have been in all of our movies all of our sci-fi stories for so so long but the only way we can experience a hologram is by being in a crowd and being at a certain angle you know what I’m talking about is a watch that makes a hologram you know what I mean like a Star Wars situation oh yeah or even just a hologram in my in one room in my home I think the reason why this isn’t going to come to pass in 10 20 or 30 years is because it’s not it’s an illusion well so as a television screen so it’s for entertainment only there’s no either see I mean I see I’m expressing the 2014 cinema a popular sentiment at least from from my camp their popular system it is that my own brain holograms are not that appealing and therefore not as frustrating to not be that great because they just have novel entertainment value so if you’re laughing right now 10 20 30 years from now it’s because you experience Holograms in a way that enriches your life beyond frivolous entertainment so I have no clue how you’re doing it yeah something you can intercept I’m very envious of I cannot anticipate well I can’t just wait one thing like a physical relations with a with a hologram well that’s not exactly what I was thinking that is an interesting thought though what I was thinking was not a hawk it was relational it was you know Skype chat like ala Graham with someone that you love why were a therapist yeah and because mic therapy is expensive oh yes holographic therapy not as expensive occasion videoconferencing you know you remember the other day when we were in that videoconference in the room and they brought the two people in on the screens yeah hey we haven’t talked about that since that happened the first time that’s ever happened felt like the president you know what I mean while I was at Google yeah I mean we can say that did that was a yeah at that we were at the Google YouTube headquarter yeah conference room and they started googling in people it was amazing but in the future 2024 sit in a chair dude sitting in a chair and that but that’s what the movies tell you but but think about got to be better than that he didn’t have the the people on the screens in that meeting you know I didn’t take him seriously cuz there on a screen they’re not in the room with us but as soon as they’re a hologram sitting right there across even just because I can put my face through their face and they don’t know it doesn’t does it mean that I shouldn’t listen to them Bob I disagree with your point I’m coming over there to put my face through your holographic face I am facing you right now and by facing – I mean I’m embedding my face in your face that’s a common insult in 2024 is what you face someone who is a hologram put your face into their holograph or just say just sit right where they are oh that’s even I think you might get burned maybe they’re usually blue so they’re very cold these are all things we currently think I’m just being I’m just being raw with y’all 10 20 30 years from now I know I know we sounds stupid but right in 2014 we don’t sound stupid at all yeah we sound like prophets no we’re just being honest yeah well I guess we are speculating about that we have television screens at gas pumps yes we do and I filled up an hour ago and I was done filling up and it occurred to me I haven’t looked at this television screen the whole time I’ve been here oh I’ve never looked at one of those and I remember thinking as a youngster one day there will be television screens on gas pumps and out and it will be amazing and what did you think it would be though like Fresh Prince of bel-air playing on there cuz I might watch it if that was the case yeah I might just pull up a chair and spend 22 minutes in front of the gala they’ve got to keep the content short it was just an ad because they don’t want to lock you in and be like it was ads yeah yeah this guy is sitting there watching Law & Order SVU that is a show that’s on right now I think one of the things that the sci-fi movies of the 80s got right was that there’s you’re gonna be advertised to everywhere through screens and what I’m saying is it’s happening we know and I’m already inoculated to it yeah yeah that it definitely seemed that still seems futuristic to us yeah it’s not it is that one in every 40 gas station experiences you’ll get a yeah there’s like a person talking and ad going and it’s very much like Back to the Future when there was a billboard that was a screen and we were like wow that’s awesome yeah I didn’t even think about that the billboards will be TV screens oh well we get we got that already yeah we have that so not that what’s gonna be at your gas pump you know I get well and your we also drive our own vehicles yeah oh yeah yeah we are in charge of where we go now just in the past couple of years they’ve the debate over self-driving cars is really started oh yeah emphasis on debate like no one agrees yeah whether it whether it’s actually gonna tell the average person right now if you just were to ask the average person what do you think about self-driving cars they’d be like I don’t trust them I don’t trust them even though it is statistically proven already that the number of accidents will be dramatically reduced with self-driving cars it doesn’t the facts don’t matter facts don’t matter to most people anyway and they probably still don’t matter in 2024 2014 the facts about self-driving cars don’t matter to people because everybody’s scared of them and thinks it’s gonna be some sort of big brother thing where we’re all gonna be like wrecked into each other by computer overlord but I am a but they’ve just passed legislation and I think it was the UK basically saying that you know self-driving cars are gonna be allowed to go a certain amount above the speed limit when they like anticipating yeah they’re gonna be out there so I’m assuming about 2020 for self-driving cars are normal you look over and there’s a dude napping or texting because right now texting while driving big no-no when we drive for this whole video about this rightfully so yeah it’s on par with driving in our in our society but I’m assuming that you’re texting and drinking and sleeping all at the same time while your car drives you around at 2024 but now what will happen is someone will do something you don’t like and you’ll look at the person in the vehicle and you’ll have anger towards them and sometimes you might yell at them sometimes they may yell back and like there’ll be this exchange which might involve like hand gestures road rage yeah that happens today because as a result of us being in charge of our own via because you know it’s the losers fault when he pulls them for out in front of you it tastes fault not as cars right you’ve got you’ve got a you’ve got a target for your you can just take out your anger your frustration on this person because they’re copal yeah and we it’s they’re responsible and typically what happens in that situation is we extend the middle finger it’s called flipping the bird I used to understand that as flicking the bird growing up in North Carolina as a child I flick a crumb you know that bird right you kind of flick it if you think about it you’re flicking it up there I did learn is a teenager that it was flip of the bird and that’s what we call it typically today right we’ve all been agreement on that for many years and said for you welcome to that yeah it’s not flicking the bird you know at this point I’m thinking a couple of thoughts about what’s what this show can I just step back for a second sure and just make some observations about this time cause like two first one is I would love more than ever for this to be a call-in show right now like coast to coast yeah I would I feel like why don’t we do that I feel like I’m totally serious right now I would like to I would like to and this may be the birth of an idea I haven’t I just want to hear what America what the world I want to hear what the world has to say right now about like everyone called in and tell us one thing to add to the audio time capsule just what a great idea I would love that right now link occasionally has great ideas in 24 days I’m assuming he has them all the time in 2024 you know what 2014 we don’t have technology we cannot do a call-in show yeah we could we could my second thing is if as I listened to myself now in 2014 or put myself in the seat of a listener in current times hologram as it watches something I feel like this is potentially the lamest episode of ear biscuits ever because we’re we’re talking about things that everybody knows about we’re just saying things that it’s it’s like listening to to listen in on a conversation between two guys and you’re just uh yeah yeah every the reaction everything is yeah that’s why I’m doing slightly predictive things but you’re trying to make it I mean yeah mix it up a little bit okay well let’s let’s keep going but another thing about the present is we recently both watched a movie called her it is it’s always got an Antonio Banderas feast is guy named Joaquin Phoenix something I could not say for a long time Joaquin is still alive to knit ten years from megastar but anyway talented guy movie written and directed by Spike Jones we both absolutely love this movie a lot of people did not we acknowledge that but we both loved it and it was fascinating remember her that’s what I’m trying to tell you ten years from now you just say there’s a movie her don’t you remember it and they would be like yes well you might not okay her is all about and I’m saying this for the sake of the present people in 2014 that may have not seen a movie okay Joaquin’s feigning Phoenix’s Joaquin Phoenix Joaquin Phoenix rises from the ashes no 20 30 years from now the lead character falls in love with an operating system played by Scarlett Johansson as her voice originally played by an English actress and they redid the whole movie after they’d recorded everything with Scarlett Johansson Sports fun fact that’s probably still true ten years from now anyway he has in he has a very emotional emotionally significant relationship with this computer who for all intents and purposes is a person they are not they are not a person like a human but they embody a personality and it’s Syria to the max in a way that I do not believe it will be the case in 2024 I cannot believe that there really I mean then not it not close 10 years is not a long time no it’s not yeah yeah well I mean when my daughter is 21 years old do I want her to have a relationship like a romantic relationship with a copper ating system you put more so than them within a boy maybe so then wanna think about it right yeah but I’m still thinking about it I still don’t know I still don’t know there’s lots of question marks associated with that but my son can just but I mean so most of our relationships are limited to flesh and blood we have no significant relationships with any digital entities and there is not there is no conversation about the nature of personhood when it comes to a digital entity hmm which was which was obviously one of the say about yeah you can think that that will happen well of course because there’ll be a point in which consciousness if there is an artificial intelligence I’m not saying a soul but a consciousness right but there are many people who would say that the soul is the consciousness so so in that was that was is what defines soul is what some people would say now in 2024 we’re probably not we’re probably having this debate this what we’re talking about is probably an interesting ethics question in every introductory ethics class but where you know how far are we from the from the her situation I don’t know probably another maybe another 10 years maybe 20 30 for their significant relationships with digital entities oh and we don’t a digital president maybe mmm that’s boy I say I’d say that’s 2044 digital president digital president well I think what about digital dead relative are you voting for the president or you are you voting for the digital president the first digital president ever Digital dead relative so when you die but I mean what what what we’re hopeful about is not that we get to like live forever like cryogenically or you know discover the Pan’s Labyrinth or whatever lease eternity the the Fountain of Youth yeah thought of you Tree of Life maybe I just got Pan’s Labyrinth and fountain of you discovers the Pan’s elaborate and elaborate is a movie it’s not labyrinth starring David Bowie but what I want Pan’s Labyrinth and later movie what I what I usable is that we will have digital entities of ourselves so that when we pass away that they can live on for the sake of our relative so operating systems will not just be fabricated they will be simulations of dead relatives and how does that idea seem to you as a 2014 man it seems sad because I don’t experience it I’m just doing it for like my loved ones to continue to relate to me what they even want to but if the contents of your brain could be offloaded onto another device would that be a conscience would that be your conscience that continue to experience things even though the real you had passed on I mean you think about it again if we had Collins at this point and someone called in who knew about this stuff they could probably say think about it for a second if you take a ship a boat and you take all the cargo No and over time that boat breaks down you replace each piece of wood and after a hundred years you’ve replaced that boat with a completely new boat is it still the boat or is it the new pieces of wood that make the boat you know every nine years or so every one of yourselves and your body is replaced right so are you still the same you is you being offloaded to a hard drive no longer you know it is not me it’s digital link and I mean because it’s the rate of change of the planks of the boat what if this career continues for the next day all if all the planks change it once is a different boat okay what but if they but if the percentage of planks that swap at any one point are is lower than middle 10% okay the total boat plank egde is still the boat then it it keeps its bonus intact what if you Sydney bonus sit in someone’s hologram do you become them no you just you get incinerated because those things are hot they’re blue butts are hot like the hot you know blue is the hottest color at Harrah’s and here’s another question it was the hottest part of the flame right now we’re a comedic duo we have been for quite a quite some time we anticipate that this will continue indefinitely at least ten years and but is there a point in which the technology is at a place where we could just create a digital rhett and Link and they could do all the work again I think you’d come up with the ideas I think this is 100-year material this is not 10-year man it hundred years man you’re into just thinking it happens territory you know no no differentiation unless of course there’s some sort of cataclysmic event that just puts all technology at a halt then all bets are off okay credit cards we still use credit cards I’ve got one in my pocket a stack of them in my pocket debit credit all different types business personal and they’re all just plastic cards you remember them future people with a magnetic strip on them that gets worn off over time and then when it gets worn off the people that you give them to at the stores we go to stores to buy things they have to type in the number in this little contraption that uses a phone line a landline to make a call to some server somewhere to like let the transaction go through that’s how credit cards work now there are some places that have a little device that plugs into an iPad or iPhone that is connected to it to a digital network and you and it doesn’t work through a phone line but either way it still is this piece of plastic that we take out and give to someone clearly that will not be happening 10 years from now but what will it be is it gonna be the dreaded chip in the body I don’t think I mean it was in the next few years it will be in your phone it’s just gonna be in whatever digital wearable tech that you have Apple pay thing or a Google Wallet or on your phone or on your on your glasses on your head to be a it’ll be a blue punch it’ll be a short range yeah transfer of mecir ease of numbers associated with your credit card but for right now we still sit on a stack of plastic that whenever we purchase anything you got to fumble it out and find the right one you want to use and some people say I don’t use that one with that logo mm-hmm and you got to get the other one with the other logo and then in certain places over a certain amount you have to sign you should you use an ink pen I think that we’re in a some good stuff right now because this is gonna seem nutso and not to our future you buy something we give you our classics then you give it back to us after you call the phone you’ve use a phone on through some machine you give it back to us and then along with a sheet of paper and an ink pen an actual pin that you write with you hold it in your hand and you sign your name but you you sign your name on the back and technically it’s supposed to match the signature that you’ve written on the plastic card and the way they know that it’s you is if the signatures match but no one in America at least ever checks it and sometimes in Europe they still do for the most part they ask you for your ID which is another piece of plastic that says who you are it’s not your DNA signature it’s nothing physical about you it’s just a plastic piece of plastic but it has your picture and discuss your picture on it yeah you can make it in a 3d printer and it’s like you know stop the presses oh he is who he is because of this plastic card he’s got with himself what an idiotic concept that we are experiencing in 2014 yeah I but I am starting to get perturbed when I have when they give me the little sheet of paper and I have to sign it like what’s the meaning of this nothing it’s it is meaningless which is why it will be laughable or you can just reach in the other pocket and pull out wads of paper and coinage you don’t have this right on it just hand on that you know right on anything they still hand you something back but you don’t have to write on it there’s no writing right girl there’s writing like printed on the paper itself which is made out of cotton by the way it’s not even paper it’s made out of cotton you can wash it in the in the washing machine and you go to stores to buy things but I mean I’m just getting to the point where if I want something I’m gonna go to Amazon I’m gonna use Amazon Prime because I don’t have to pay for shipping Oh which brings up another interesting thing as we’re right now in the talking about drones now every drones are really popular people use them it’s you know it’s the thing to put a little camera on a drone and get some video footage it’s like whoa are you a helicopter pilot so another that’s got a drone it’s like really small I got it for $300 I put a GoPro on it and then I just put it in the air and it’s like I got a big job or some sort of crazy like helicopter but it for a realist like or dollars man if it runs out of batteries it has just enough battery to come back to me yeah I won’t even crush ya if it gets lost it just comes back to where it let where it launched it’s really cool it’s like a smart drone so that’s the situation with drones now I drink redbull but what’s being debated specifically now is Amazon and probably Google Google Amazon uses drones but Google has this thing that looks like a winged a white stealth fighter that are you talking about 2014 yes I’m talking about 2014 you haven’t seen the Google wing it’s there it’s there proposed drone yes their drone and it it looks like a stealth fighter none of these things are in use right now I do want to clarify well there’s prototypes but no they’re not in use but right now we’re my wife and I had a conversation the other day and out and she was like do you know that they’re gonna have these drones and if we’ll order something from Amazon Prime and it will show up in the front yard like within 24 hours from a drone and we have this conversation like that won’t happen because somebody might get hit with a propeller or something that’s you know a dog is gonna get hit by propeller that’ll never happen but yeah I have to make these wrong the drone will never happen because the dog will definitely get hit with a propeller and there’s how we think but there’s lots of people who think that there’s something unconstant aliy wrong unconstitutional about the drones and they’ve got cameras on them and everybody knew that you know you can’t do anything in private anymore that’s a big deal III think that that debate will be over over yeah I mean they probably said the same thing about Google Earth and so well there’s cameras going all of them down the street and then it’s published on the internet and I didn’t give any permission for that and people get fired from their jobs because of things they put on Facebook like there’s oh did you hear about the teacher who got fired because she puts a personal picture of herself doing this on face book or whatever I don’t like though that happens and you know people like to talk about it yeah people like tell me did you hear about so-and-so who got fired because of their what their Facebook photo so there’s there’s that people just not knowing what how Facebook works and getting fired over it like know what not knowing that someone else could see these things right but talking about drones you know I do think that most people in the in the distant past will say the 80s would have just assumed by the year 2014 that when you looked up into the air you would see all these little planes going over flying cars you know and that cars and I do think that the the combination of the major barrier to personal flight devices besides the cost barrier the price of the technology is the traffic right air traffic control it’s like what are you how what are you supposed to do how do you not just run into each other Doherty’s wheel lanes where you put the yellow lines in the sky right but smart smart driving you know self-driving takes care of that because the computer can think about a billion different things at once right so once you have the the the drones are cheaper large enough to hold a person but small enough but they gotta hold on really tight and there’s enough of them that they’re not the price point isn’t too high the point of entry isn’t too high and you combine that with smart driving I think there will be just a lot of people flying all over the place but I don’t think it’s gonna be a 22 24 34 in 2020 for the big news story is gonna be the toddler who hitched a ride on a drone right how did she went to let Amazon headquarters little Randy was found back at their will Amazon warehouse yeah and you know in the you know and lingerie section right exactly yeah he was he was buried in lingerie and we asked him what had happened he said I just grabbed on I grabbed rum I’m going to just do this flying machine boy he has a good grip though yeah and he’s he’s known as the boy with the iron grip and he goes on to host game shows well okay must be a guest on game shows no he he’s like why would it be a good host oh oh it’s Randy yes his name was Randy I’m the kid who grabbed onto the drum kid with the iron grip here that I get what year 2024 okay that’s gonna happen 10 years from I think that’s probably to happen next year yeah drone stowaways first it’ll be like a cat or a snake or something and then it’ll be a little toddler a snake I can see that snake on the drum snakes unemploy snake on a drone it’s not a feature film it’s a tube video speaking of which sharknado was big this year I haven’t seen a sharknado 2 to be more specifically sharknado already done a second one big last year or maybe the year before sharknado 2 yeah and this is the idea of a tornado which is really a hurricane picking up a bunch of sharks and depositing them into cities which but it’s intentionally it was intentionally stupid even at the time but it was embraced as awesome oh yeah and then celebrated with a second with a second go-round which brings us to video entertainment the way that we enjoy non Holograms we do enjoy 3d in the movie theater some people have it at home but those people are few and far between yeah even if you I mean when we went to Disneyland and they had the 3d shows those were like wow whatever because now every blockbuster movie that’s got any action or any 3d and it’s an mesmerizing 3d by my standards that Disneyland no longer meets so no one goes to those rides and they don’t and of course 10 years from now those rides will not exist at Disneyland oh yeah like a 3d right wet I got my televisions 3d yeah right and I you know we so we got all movies will be 3d but I mean that’s that’s the thing when it comes to movies and most of the reason that we go to the movies well there’s twofold in 2014 we the movie is released in the theatres first right that’s when it’s released in the theatres and then after a certain period of time it’s released on DVD like we still get I like I don’t know what the time it’s probably like three months later you’re watching on Netflix yeah direct yeah direct direct to some video streaming service and that’s how we enjoy most of our movies but everyone’s well I’m like the kids we’re gonna go watch a 3d movie we’re going to the theater I think that the my prediction is that the movie watching experience will be such at home will be so comparable or even better than what we would get in a theater now that the the people will have had to upgrade what the theater provides in 2024 and I think that we’re definitely in the realm of smellivision don’t laugh you know air being played on the Disneyland stuff they when you do that certain ride you smell certain things and then they like poke you in the back of the head through the seat and they shoot stuff out and they sprinkle water on you I definitely think all that’s got to happen in a in the normal movie theater for people to go to the movies in 2025 I thought you saying smellivision is gonna be at in your home you could probably be yeah I think at the cartridges so sure it is I’m not willing to pay for the color cartridge in my inkjet printer I’m definitely not paying for a refill the smellivision cartridges I think it goes a long way have to go into that television I think you will I’m sure ingredients pumped into those cartridges to like produce everything from a fart to a day so it’s like a box of crayons man I mean is you mixing max match once you smell smell-o-vision link in your own home you will think where have you been all my life and you will immediately sign up for the subscription service there will be no this is I this is worth it I mean they’re printing chocolate now man I don’t even have a burning chocolate now I don’t even have DVR TiVo if I want to watch something on television I actually I still sit through commercials which which subsidize the production of televisions you are but you are behind the time I know you are in like 2000 I know that but television this is 2014 commercials still subsidized subsidized what’s happening on television that’s still a thing because they haven’t figured out how television shows can be subsidized otherwise other ways of course we’ve figured out how to subsidize the type of content that we do now but we can’t do television esque shows on YouTube that are as good as what you might see on like a Breaking Bad which i think is an interesting thing and it may be an interesting way to close this thing down is that we make youtube videos which people do enjoy on their televisions if they are a little more tech savvy but in general we still see YouTube as a different entity from television from it as a different entity from internet television as a different entity from movies yeah and YouTube is on my television as an app but you don’t you don’t sit down and enjoy YouTube I might I might sit down and enjoy YouTube on my television while I wait for Christie to like get out of the bathroom and sit down so that we can watch something on Netflix or Amazon like a show like a longer show like okay for instance a week ago or so we had the Emmys the television awards right and so the series that were up for best show or whatever you know Breaking Bad Mad Men Game of Thrones these kinds of things these are not things that people these are things that people enjoy through services like Netflix but you know tonight we went to a streaming reception and there are shows that are being awarded thing our YouTube shows differently different things like good mythical morning we didn’t win anything but they’re just very different in the eye of the people who are entertained by them the eyes of the public everybody says oh they’re these things are merging right YouTube and TV they’re just kind of becoming it’s all becoming one thing and but the best thing we can point to is that at the Video Music Awards there was an internet category which explained that well it is what you just said people are considered I think they they call them vlogging stars or something I can’t really do music it’s not a music video well that’s just the VMAs there’s all kinds of Awards of that I know that was it no that was the People’s Choice no it was the Teen Choice Awards yeah I’m the Choice Awards another VMAs yeah well okay that’s a little bit better but still we know that they’ve merged because Teen Choice Awards now have internet celebrities as are like a part of the award ceremony but they call them internet celebrities and so my prediction is that while I think that there will be just something distinctly different about these sort of independent entertainment and in the form of you know something service like YouTube and then there’ll be studio based but it’s not going to be well one is on this website and one is on my TV when I get home it comes to it I think that distinction is going away but I don’t think and I don’t want the distinction between independent minded or independently financed things and then to be different from studio based things network based things that probably is not going to go away mm-hmm and another thing in 2014 we just talked for an hour about stuff that if you’re listening to it now you already knew because you’re living it right now but if you’re listening to this 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 100 years from now well your your mind is increasingly blown with the mundane subject matters that we’ve just got you to listen to for the past hour and I thank you for that and let me just say this to those of you listening 100 years from now no doubt you are experiencing this not over the course of one hour you are experiencing this as a download in the blink of an eye that was immediately added to the information that is in your brain that is both human and you know ceramic or something is this like standard download curriculum for all humans on the earth planet Wow we’ve arrived and I’m horrible this is the link this let me tell you some time capsule what we are doing in the year 30 14 know 21 14 sorry not a thousand years from now only a hundred years now is almost pointless because a hundred years from now not only will you be able to download information instantaneously like this podcast but you will be able to access all the information that has ever existed instantaneously I mean will instantaneously know it yes you will you’re Bionic Lee supported brain will be able to instantly take all the data that’s ever been created and synthesize it and experience it and everyone will basically be exactly equal so that’s like inserting another plank on the boat yeah do you know what I’m you going I’m getting at so what I’m getting at is every meet every piece of media that we have made are making it will make will be instantaneously instantaneously experienced by everyone at the same time by no effort at all how does that make you feel well the destination is the journey that makes me sad yeah it does I you know what and for those of you 100 years from now who’ve made the decision that you want to unplug from that you don’t want that to be your existence that good for you you want to disengage from the matrix good for you yes we wish we could be there with you to join the the rebels to just be like let’s get back to humanity let’s get back to processing information through sight and sound and smell and touch I hope my seed makes that choice your seed my progeny okay yeah and to our great great grandchildren who are listening to this my seed join the rebels because experiencing life through the five senses is an amazing thing it doesn’t need to go away you know even though it means you’re gonna lose the ability to process this or access this podcast at any moment in time it is okay because you can access it in what is called a memory which is in the natural mind and that is a beautiful thing hashtag your best kids let us know what you think about this episode maybe we’ll get it trending in 2024 stack here bitch is that a thing then alright guys here from his next week [Music] [Music]
