WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.339
Do you learn life lessons from morbid situations?

00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:07.299
Are you into quantum computers and AI? Maybe

00:00:07.299 --> 00:00:09.439
you're just looking for your next podcast. Today

00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:13.900
is the day. It is Trailer Park Thursday. Parallel

00:00:13.900 --> 00:00:16.719
frequencies? I am just playing. She is Coco.

00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:20.339
You are the freaks. What's up, Coco? How are

00:00:20.339 --> 00:00:22.160
you? Where are you? Hanging out on my front porch

00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:26.679
today. Just wanted a change of scenery. See if

00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:30.839
this was a nice spring day. worthy of recording

00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:33.159
outside. I didn't know if you were in Hollywood.

00:00:33.340 --> 00:00:35.520
You got your sunglasses on, you kicked back,

00:00:35.619 --> 00:00:38.520
I see the floral arrangement pattern behind you.

00:00:39.020 --> 00:00:40.799
I thought you went out there again without me.

00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:45.460
I probably wouldn't, but because if I'm in Hollywood,

00:00:45.579 --> 00:00:50.560
it's probably for... Yeah. Right? Yeah, it's

00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.359
probably for with me, for sure. And Hollywood's

00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:55.600
a scary place. You wouldn't want to go there

00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:59.890
without me anyway. It is kind of. It's a wonderful

00:00:59.890 --> 00:01:05.769
place full of all kinds of inspiration and creative

00:01:05.769 --> 00:01:09.549
energy and also a little bit of that thick desperation.

00:01:09.730 --> 00:01:12.430
A little bit. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's there. Can't

00:01:12.430 --> 00:01:16.590
have LA without that. Yeah. Right? Oh, yeah.

00:01:16.890 --> 00:01:18.290
Oh, yeah. What have you been watching? What have

00:01:18.290 --> 00:01:22.409
you seen lately? Oh, my gosh. Yeah. We're always

00:01:22.409 --> 00:01:25.109
watching so many different things, even what

00:01:25.109 --> 00:01:28.280
we're not assigned. to be watching the show,

00:01:28.459 --> 00:01:33.140
but I stumbled across the trust me, a false prophet

00:01:33.140 --> 00:01:38.260
documentary series or a little docuseries. It's,

00:01:38.260 --> 00:01:41.840
you know, we live in Utah. So the kind of like

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:46.599
Mormon sects of FLDS church and different, different

00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:50.719
polygamist groups that kind of live in the Arizona,

00:01:50.780 --> 00:01:54.780
Utah area. We know all about that kind of stuff

00:01:54.780 --> 00:01:57.439
around here. But I was curious about it. And

00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.959
there's been a lot of documentaries made about

00:01:59.959 --> 00:02:04.560
the polygamists. you know, kind of cult or like

00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:08.400
survival, survived a cult kind of documentaries.

00:02:08.539 --> 00:02:10.439
But this one was a little different. This one

00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.259
was kind of like, it was kind of like a couple,

00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.860
husband and wife that had their own kind of media

00:02:16.860 --> 00:02:20.780
thing. So, you know, cameraman and she was kind

00:02:20.780 --> 00:02:23.479
of, she had a career as a ventriloquist and she

00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.680
had her own show at one point. She had this amazing

00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.020
career, but they end up kind of getting. get

00:02:30.020 --> 00:02:32.680
involved in this polygamist group. They get really

00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.039
friendly. They get them to trust them. They're

00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:37.180
hanging out with them every day. They start recording

00:02:37.180 --> 00:02:41.139
this documentary and, uh, end up gathering evidence

00:02:41.139 --> 00:02:44.080
for the FBI. So it's fast moving take on like

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.439
how to, how to kind of like, they kind of like

00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.939
used this, like, Hey, we want you to be a star.

00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.180
You could have a YouTube channel. And then they

00:02:53.180 --> 00:02:56.520
just tell us more about, uh, you married a nine

00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.259
-year -old girl. What's this about? What's this

00:02:58.259 --> 00:03:01.250
about? So it was very fascinating. I recommend

00:03:01.250 --> 00:03:04.870
it. It's always been a fascinating topic to the

00:03:04.870 --> 00:03:09.370
rest of the world, really. Anytime a documentary

00:03:09.370 --> 00:03:12.110
like that comes out that's about the FLDS, I

00:03:12.110 --> 00:03:14.969
guess, is it the FLDS or the LDS? There are other

00:03:14.969 --> 00:03:16.969
polygamist groups that kind of stemmed off of

00:03:16.969 --> 00:03:19.930
the Mormon pioneers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:03:20.030 --> 00:03:24.810
The LDS church, but FLDS is the one Warren Jeffs

00:03:24.810 --> 00:03:29.259
was arrested. He was the prophet. Gotcha. Okay.

00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:34.520
Now I see. Now I see. I saw something crazy last

00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.939
night by accident. It just popped up. Brand new.

00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:43.879
Hulu. Send Help is now out on streaming. Sam

00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:48.860
Raimi directed it. Evil Dead. You know the Evil

00:03:48.860 --> 00:03:50.599
Dead. We should do that one. Put the Evil Dead

00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.699
on our list. That's a classic we got to go cover.

00:03:53.740 --> 00:03:57.840
But put it on the list. Who's keeping this list?

00:03:58.259 --> 00:04:01.960
I don't know. I know the freaks want to hear

00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:05.199
us talk about The Evil Dead. That's a banger

00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:09.259
there. And Rachel McAdams. Yes. Dylan O 'Brien.

00:04:09.460 --> 00:04:13.120
This movie was crazy. It was wild. I was not

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.120
expecting. I want to see it so bad. I love the

00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:19.720
revenge. The female revenge type movies. I've

00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.370
always said that. This is not like some of them.

00:04:23.389 --> 00:04:25.550
Like, there's a lot of twists and turns and this

00:04:25.550 --> 00:04:28.670
and that. And I was highly interested and intrigued

00:04:28.670 --> 00:04:32.189
for the full two hours. It's a longer flick,

00:04:32.290 --> 00:04:33.889
but I thought that was... Yeah, I believe that

00:04:33.889 --> 00:04:37.129
help is on our list. I mean, on the schedule

00:04:37.129 --> 00:04:40.870
list. So it's not on the ideas list. It's on

00:04:40.870 --> 00:04:45.290
the list list. It should be. Because, yeah, that

00:04:45.290 --> 00:04:50.699
was a... It was a genre blender. And I love genre

00:04:50.699 --> 00:04:52.480
-blending movies, too. You know, when you don't

00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:56.100
know if it's comedy, horror, drama, all that

00:04:56.100 --> 00:04:58.199
stuff mixed all together, dark humor. Like, it's

00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:02.779
all in there. And, yeah, this movie, it took

00:05:02.779 --> 00:05:05.759
me by surprise. I don't know why. You know, I

00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:08.819
like everybody that was involved. So I knew it

00:05:08.819 --> 00:05:10.779
was going to be good. Yeah. I knew it was going

00:05:10.779 --> 00:05:12.439
to be good. It looked really good from the trailer.

00:05:12.579 --> 00:05:15.360
I'm excited to see it. I'm glad Hulu has it on

00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:19.040
now. Yes. Yeah, speaking of trailers, today is.

00:05:19.939 --> 00:05:23.819
Trailer Park Thursday. That's where we play some

00:05:23.819 --> 00:05:28.500
podcast trailers that I went and dug up and we

00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:30.459
react to them. So we hope that you're going to

00:05:30.459 --> 00:05:32.920
find your new favorite listen here. And you got

00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:35.079
to think about that too because you don't just

00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.720
have to listen to one podcast out there. Most

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.959
people got a whole catalog. Oh yeah, I got it

00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.100
lined up for sure. And you add to it. You don't

00:05:45.100 --> 00:05:47.240
just stick with those. You're adding to it. Hopefully

00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.199
you've added ours. If not, I don't know why you're

00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.100
still listening. Add it right now. We like that

00:05:53.100 --> 00:05:56.519
kind of thing. But yeah, we like to play trailers

00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:01.500
I find, react, and help you discover your newest,

00:06:01.660 --> 00:06:04.519
favorite, latest listen. Let's go ahead and get

00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:10.019
to this first trailer right here. Hi, I'm Amy

00:06:10.019 --> 00:06:12.600
Hobby. And I'm Avi Zev -Wieder, and this is Films

00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:14.680
Not Made. Where we invite directors, producers,

00:06:14.939 --> 00:06:17.360
and writers and talk about their favorite projects

00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.480
that were developed and never went into production.

00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:25.220
We did go to Cool Mo D with the pitch. No way!

00:06:25.899 --> 00:06:28.600
I want to hear that story. There was also a great

00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.620
book called My Lead Dog is a Lesbian. that we

00:06:31.620 --> 00:06:34.399
really like. We considered optioning that. I

00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:37.139
remember my agent saying, writing is great, which

00:06:37.139 --> 00:06:39.040
I realized is not a compliment in Hollywood.

00:06:39.259 --> 00:06:43.839
Just change the margin. I was like, this is my

00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:47.519
big Hollywood agent's advice? We're just going

00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.420
to sell this and sit back and take a check and

00:06:50.420 --> 00:06:53.670
watch everybody else do it. I would love to have

00:06:53.670 --> 00:06:56.009
an executive blow me off that much. I can't even

00:06:56.009 --> 00:06:58.069
get that far. That sounds amazing. And then we

00:06:58.069 --> 00:07:00.310
take their original materials, we put it through

00:07:00.310 --> 00:07:03.129
our own AI pipeline, and we create a new deck

00:07:03.129 --> 00:07:05.790
and trailer. It has a new tagline, Rocky meets

00:07:05.790 --> 00:07:08.930
Moonlight. I feel like this should be on an episode

00:07:08.930 --> 00:07:11.810
of the studio now. Several biology textbooks

00:07:11.810 --> 00:07:15.120
will be withdrawn and destroyed. That's a hard

00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.259
fucking pass right there. Thank God for humans.

00:07:17.620 --> 00:07:22.300
Can I just point out the irony of using one apocalyptic

00:07:22.300 --> 00:07:25.800
humanity -destroying technology to describe the

00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.480
previous humanity -destroying technology? It's

00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.660
meta -ironic. Then to round it out, we have a

00:07:32.660 --> 00:07:35.660
quick conversation with our own creative AI executive.

00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:38.180
Just a heads up, he does have a hard out today.

00:07:38.339 --> 00:07:40.379
I'm tracking how the new deck pivots the tone

00:07:40.379 --> 00:07:43.089
and keeps the story anchored to endurance. Honestly,

00:07:43.329 --> 00:07:45.829
I'd say Six Figures is ambitious for a contained

00:07:45.829 --> 00:07:48.069
indie. I think you're talking about a different

00:07:48.069 --> 00:07:50.670
screenplay. This is too realistic. I can't handle

00:07:50.670 --> 00:07:54.750
it. Could this project be made now? Should it

00:07:54.750 --> 00:07:57.649
have been made back then? Or are we just giving

00:07:57.649 --> 00:08:00.089
our guests a little closure? You're like, I just

00:08:00.089 --> 00:08:02.410
need to talk to my ex for some closure. And we're

00:08:02.410 --> 00:08:11.269
like, great. Welcome to Films Not Made. All right.

00:08:12.730 --> 00:08:17.870
I'm a fan. I am a fan. They take these ideas

00:08:17.870 --> 00:08:23.149
that weren't done, and it sounds like they just

00:08:23.149 --> 00:08:25.930
kind of do them. I mean, what better way to do

00:08:25.930 --> 00:08:30.230
it? And what better trailer to play than a show

00:08:30.230 --> 00:08:34.909
that makes trailers for other shows, right? Yeah.

00:08:35.110 --> 00:08:36.929
Films not made, Coco. What do you think? What

00:08:36.929 --> 00:08:39.720
do you think about that? I love hearing the stories

00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:44.279
behind projects, like the creative process that

00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:48.100
it takes to get something done. Or even, you

00:08:48.100 --> 00:08:49.419
know, and I've worked with a lot of different

00:08:49.419 --> 00:08:52.299
creative people, not necessarily in the realm

00:08:52.299 --> 00:08:54.559
of Hollywood or, you know, where it would be

00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:59.059
big projects. But in the creative, I have friends

00:08:59.059 --> 00:09:02.159
that are artists. I have friends that are making

00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.659
comic books and making, you know, things that.

00:09:05.450 --> 00:09:07.750
could have potentially launched into something

00:09:07.750 --> 00:09:12.350
really big. But to hear them talk about how they

00:09:12.350 --> 00:09:18.509
have to not make their work so precious. Yeah.

00:09:18.590 --> 00:09:23.169
Be changed or adapted or even thrown out. And

00:09:23.169 --> 00:09:26.389
I imagine that's really hard. I imagine I love

00:09:26.389 --> 00:09:28.730
listening to people who are on SNL, you know,

00:09:28.730 --> 00:09:30.909
those that have podcasts or talk about what it's

00:09:30.909 --> 00:09:34.149
like to be. on SNL because they're creating these

00:09:34.149 --> 00:09:37.149
skits and sketches that they think are amazing.

00:09:37.350 --> 00:09:39.029
They're brilliant. And they could bring them

00:09:39.029 --> 00:09:41.190
to the table, but like most of them get thrown

00:09:41.190 --> 00:09:44.450
out. None of those I did already made. So it's

00:09:44.450 --> 00:09:46.230
just fascinating to me to think about what that

00:09:46.230 --> 00:09:49.149
process is like and the like polishing and the

00:09:49.149 --> 00:09:53.970
filtering and the, to get something done. Films

00:09:53.970 --> 00:09:57.230
not made .com. If you're watching our video right

00:09:57.230 --> 00:10:01.210
now, you can see the website. From analog rejection

00:10:01.210 --> 00:10:05.190
to digital resurrection. I love this. They got

00:10:05.190 --> 00:10:09.769
the amateur photographer is turned into the amateur

00:10:09.769 --> 00:10:15.169
pornographer. Okay. We've got the sisterhood.

00:10:15.210 --> 00:10:18.750
How to tame a fox. Check this out. An unmade

00:10:18.750 --> 00:10:24.509
Soviet fox domestication series. That sounds

00:10:24.509 --> 00:10:27.440
good to me. Interesting. Okay. Yeah, but look

00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.220
at this. This is crazy. There's all kinds of

00:10:29.220 --> 00:10:33.340
these that they poodle power. An unmade animated

00:10:33.340 --> 00:10:38.659
Iditarod story about standard poodles. Now, I

00:10:38.659 --> 00:10:40.419
can see why they wouldn't make some of these

00:10:40.419 --> 00:10:45.980
movies. Yeah, yeah. You could see. Not all of

00:10:45.980 --> 00:10:50.059
them are gold. Some of them are a fun idea to

00:10:50.059 --> 00:10:54.360
talk about, but not everything is, shall we say,

00:10:54.870 --> 00:10:58.590
It. And what about this one here? I need love.

00:10:58.669 --> 00:11:02.230
A bitter rap rivalry hides a forbidden love with

00:11:02.230 --> 00:11:06.350
everything on the line. This, and I quote, this

00:11:06.350 --> 00:11:09.669
ain't about being homosexual. It's about love.

00:11:12.090 --> 00:11:14.590
You seeing it? You can't go wrong. It's like

00:11:14.590 --> 00:11:18.929
two rappers in a boxing ring. Okay. All right.

00:11:18.929 --> 00:11:20.750
Yeah. We'll have to check that out. Right. I

00:11:20.750 --> 00:11:24.590
mean that, that Canadian show. on HBO with the

00:11:24.590 --> 00:11:28.450
hockey players is a huge hit. Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:11:28.929 --> 00:11:32.330
Is that a show or a movie? A show, I believe.

00:11:32.529 --> 00:11:34.250
Yeah. Haven't checked it out yet. Yeah, I know.

00:11:34.529 --> 00:11:37.590
I'll have to report back, but I hear a lot about

00:11:37.590 --> 00:11:41.429
it. The buzz is strong. All right. Well, let's

00:11:41.429 --> 00:11:44.210
go ahead and get to our next podcast. That was

00:11:44.210 --> 00:11:48.190
Films Not Made once again. I'm excited about

00:11:48.190 --> 00:11:49.789
this next one, too, just out the name alone,

00:11:49.929 --> 00:11:51.570
all right? Let's go ahead and fire this thing

00:11:51.570 --> 00:11:56.120
off. Welcome to Memento Morbid, where we explore

00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:59.080
death, life, and the in -between. It's hosted

00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.139
by me, Joanna Ebenstein, founder of Morbid Anatomy,

00:12:02.220 --> 00:12:04.899
which is an organization and community devoted

00:12:04.899 --> 00:12:09.559
to these very themes. Every week, I'll be joined

00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.860
by a guest. Today, I am delighted to welcome

00:12:11.860 --> 00:12:14.860
Paul Giamatti, Caitlin Doughty, John Troyer,

00:12:14.860 --> 00:12:17.940
Lela Taylor, Oliver Berkman, Pam Grossman. We'll

00:12:17.940 --> 00:12:20.940
be going in deep and discussing concepts around...

00:12:20.940 --> 00:12:24.620
This modern American death system is so strangely

00:12:24.620 --> 00:12:28.419
set up. It's so strangely distant. It's so...

00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:32.039
uncanny it's not only a path to less anxiety

00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:34.120
it's actually the more meaningfully productive

00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:38.120
and constructive and generative way to live so

00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:40.299
it was an era that was obsessed with degeneration

00:12:40.299 --> 00:12:45.460
with hysteria with the abnormal but instead of

00:12:45.460 --> 00:12:48.299
being sort of panicked by those ideas they celebrated

00:12:48.299 --> 00:12:51.700
those ideas i grew up as a goth kid in detroit

00:12:51.700 --> 00:12:55.679
in the 80s so goth i was born black which i thought

00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:58.370
that's hilarious we will explore the ideas and

00:12:58.370 --> 00:13:00.970
questions that give our lives meaning if you

00:13:00.970 --> 00:13:05.049
could live forever would you fuck no wait actually

00:13:05.049 --> 00:13:08.370
joanna what's my body doing in this living forever

00:13:08.370 --> 00:13:10.909
is it decaying i just do you think it would be

00:13:10.909 --> 00:13:14.049
hell i would do it because i just i gotta know

00:13:14.049 --> 00:13:16.870
i'm so intrigued what's gonna happen is there

00:13:16.870 --> 00:13:19.090
gonna be like horrible heat death of the planet

00:13:19.090 --> 00:13:21.960
but i'll survive But I sort of feel like one

00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:24.240
of the great things about being human is that

00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:27.500
we end. And we're supposed to end. Do you think

00:13:27.500 --> 00:13:30.139
that the idea of death in any way animates your

00:13:30.139 --> 00:13:33.340
life and work? I think about my death constantly.

00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:38.139
Maybe too much, honestly, Joanna. If we are souls

00:13:38.139 --> 00:13:42.860
who get to have bodies for a little while. I

00:13:42.860 --> 00:13:47.120
want to maximize that experience. I want to taste

00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:49.799
every flavor of ice cream. One of my earliest

00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:53.379
memories of childhood is a woman in an open casket

00:13:53.379 --> 00:13:55.120
at the funeral home and being there with my parents.

00:13:55.220 --> 00:13:57.460
I must have been three or four. And I remember

00:13:57.460 --> 00:13:59.720
touching her hand and her hand being cold. Although,

00:13:59.779 --> 00:14:01.460
as my dad would always say, it's not cold, it's

00:14:01.460 --> 00:14:04.899
room temperature. And just learning what death

00:14:04.899 --> 00:14:07.179
was based on that. And along the way, we'll hear

00:14:07.179 --> 00:14:10.590
some surprising, provocative... and often amusing

00:14:10.590 --> 00:14:14.409
ideas and observations. I had an actual ghostly

00:14:14.409 --> 00:14:17.250
experience. We all did. I am always and will

00:14:17.250 --> 00:14:19.850
always be a corpse girl. And the lady looks at

00:14:19.850 --> 00:14:22.710
me, she's like, a cat can't look like Andy Warhol.

00:14:22.929 --> 00:14:25.090
I was like, oh yeah? And I showed her the picture.

00:14:25.110 --> 00:14:26.769
She stares at this picture, she's like, holy

00:14:26.769 --> 00:14:30.009
shit, she looks like Andy Warhol. And dear listener,

00:14:30.129 --> 00:14:32.350
we'd love to hear from you. If you have your

00:14:32.350 --> 00:14:35.029
own stories, memories, or questions around death,

00:14:35.169 --> 00:14:37.940
then please send us a voice note. You can listen

00:14:37.940 --> 00:14:40.299
to Memento Morbid with me, Joanna Ebenstein,

00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:45.559
wherever you get your podcasts. Oh, man. This

00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:47.740
is going to be my next listen for sure. I love

00:14:47.740 --> 00:14:55.320
it. Joanna Ebenstein, Memento Morbid. That's

00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:57.159
right up your alley, Coco, is it not? It is.

00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:00.080
I'll be honest with you. I have a little bit

00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.460
of morbid fascination with all things death.

00:15:04.299 --> 00:15:11.059
One of my... Favorite books read stiff. It's

00:15:11.059 --> 00:15:16.039
a whole book, a nonfiction book about decay,

00:15:16.220 --> 00:15:19.019
about corpses, about bodies, about like what

00:15:19.019 --> 00:15:21.360
can happen after you die, what your body does,

00:15:21.539 --> 00:15:23.940
what happens if you donated to science, what

00:15:23.940 --> 00:15:25.720
happens if you do this, what happens if you do

00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:27.860
that, what is it actually like to do the whole

00:15:27.860 --> 00:15:32.120
formaldehyde, you know, process after, after

00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:35.019
death. It changed a lot about how I feel about.

00:15:35.450 --> 00:15:38.750
how i want to be prepared after i die but um

00:15:38.750 --> 00:15:41.230
yeah i'm always fascinated by that stuff and

00:15:41.230 --> 00:15:43.470
conversations around like is it better to live

00:15:43.470 --> 00:15:47.990
forever or is it bad you know does that make

00:15:47.990 --> 00:15:50.889
it part of the human experience is death right

00:15:50.889 --> 00:15:54.789
yeah that right there got me highly intrigued

00:15:54.789 --> 00:15:57.389
to listen to the podcast because that's a man

00:15:57.389 --> 00:16:00.009
that's a great question if given the opportunity

00:16:00.009 --> 00:16:10.029
would you live forever Me? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:16:10.549 --> 00:16:14.409
Yeah, I'm living forever. I think about the book

00:16:14.409 --> 00:16:17.289
Tuck Everlasting. Have you ever read that in

00:16:17.289 --> 00:16:20.450
school? A lot of like eighth graders read it,

00:16:20.529 --> 00:16:23.129
I think. But, you know, they drink like from

00:16:23.129 --> 00:16:26.049
the well of youth or they somehow get this magic

00:16:26.049 --> 00:16:28.870
spring and they're able to remain the age that

00:16:28.870 --> 00:16:32.269
they are when they drink it forever. And so it's

00:16:32.269 --> 00:16:35.129
this family that did that. It gives you a different

00:16:35.129 --> 00:16:38.309
perspective because there's this part in the

00:16:38.309 --> 00:16:40.370
book where it talks about the mom doing her hair

00:16:40.370 --> 00:16:43.909
in the morning. And she doesn't use a mirror.

00:16:44.049 --> 00:16:46.110
There's no mirrors in the house because she looks

00:16:46.110 --> 00:16:48.230
the same every day. She knows how her hair looks

00:16:48.230 --> 00:16:49.870
and she knows exactly how to do it. And there's

00:16:49.870 --> 00:16:54.090
just no point to a mirror. So it's kind of this

00:16:54.090 --> 00:16:57.090
like, yeah, we thought it would be really great

00:16:57.090 --> 00:16:59.990
at first. And then it's been 100 or 200 years.

00:17:00.149 --> 00:17:01.990
And now we're starting to kind of feel like.

00:17:02.379 --> 00:17:05.119
maybe this is a curse you know and yeah that

00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:09.500
dynamic so it's a lot to think about i think

00:17:09.500 --> 00:17:12.319
it would have ups and downs just like your life

00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:16.099
does already that's my that's my thought on it

00:17:16.099 --> 00:17:18.359
and i'm curious just like that one guy said i

00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:21.319
want to know you know i want to know what happens

00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:25.700
i want to see i want to be there front row seat

00:17:25.700 --> 00:17:27.920
let's go ahead and get to our last trailer for

00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:30.329
the day right here This one right here might

00:17:30.329 --> 00:17:33.750
be a little bit too over my head. I don't know,

00:17:33.769 --> 00:17:38.890
but we'll see, all right? To many people, it

00:17:38.890 --> 00:17:41.970
sounds like far -off science fiction, a mysterious,

00:17:42.210 --> 00:17:43.750
hard -to -wrap -your -head -around technology

00:17:43.750 --> 00:17:46.349
with promises of profound impact on society.

00:17:47.930 --> 00:17:51.930
The truth is even more exciting. Quantum computing

00:17:51.930 --> 00:18:22.859
is actually here now. Hi. Hi. You'll hear from

00:18:22.859 --> 00:18:25.900
the industry leaders, researchers, and academics

00:18:25.900 --> 00:18:28.680
who are applying quantum technology to find answers

00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:30.599
to their incredibly challenging computational

00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.440
problems. And you'll learn about real -world

00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:35.500
case studies to help you cut through the hype,

00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:38.680
separate fact from fiction, and develop an informed

00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:41.200
position on what this incredible technology could

00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.480
mean for you today. Because quantum isn't coming

00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.359
someday, it's here, it's scaling, and it's creating

00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:51.490
opportunities and delivering real ROI. right

00:18:51.490 --> 00:18:54.970
now. So whether you're a quantum skeptic, enthusiast,

00:18:55.029 --> 00:18:58.190
or undecided, keep an eye out for Quantum Matters

00:18:58.190 --> 00:19:01.190
from D -Wave, coming soon to YouTube, Spotify,

00:19:01.529 --> 00:19:03.769
Apple, and everywhere you get your podcasts.

00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:22.839
It's not going anywhere. Maybe not to this level,

00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:28.759
this quantum computer level, but it is taking

00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:32.140
over. And we do need to get people like this

00:19:32.140 --> 00:19:34.859
to educate us, the people who are already doing

00:19:34.859 --> 00:19:38.500
it and talking about it. And this quantum computing,

00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:41.740
this is crazy. I'll go listen to this. I won't

00:19:41.740 --> 00:19:44.440
know what I'm listening to all the time, but

00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:46.019
I like to know a little bit of it, you know?

00:19:47.280 --> 00:19:49.920
The episodes he's got right here, some of them

00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:56.380
are robots for optimized quality control, quantum

00:19:56.380 --> 00:20:01.559
optimization expert, real world impact. He's

00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:06.240
going through certain things. We got cloud bots

00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:09.559
out here now. We got agents running, texting

00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:12.299
for us, setting up our calendar. There's no telling

00:20:12.299 --> 00:20:14.839
what we're going to get into. So, yes, I am.

00:20:15.289 --> 00:20:18.069
highly into podcasts like this i think there's

00:20:18.069 --> 00:20:22.990
a a great place for this we need to know about

00:20:22.990 --> 00:20:25.930
this go ahead coco i'm it's it's overwhelming

00:20:25.930 --> 00:20:29.690
to me i mean just just trying to as i was complaining

00:20:29.690 --> 00:20:31.890
before we recorded i'm just trying to get my

00:20:31.890 --> 00:20:36.390
email um this week so that's i mean how ridiculous

00:20:36.390 --> 00:20:41.490
but the world of like cyber you know that there's

00:20:41.490 --> 00:20:47.099
this whole other dimension of existence in the

00:20:47.099 --> 00:20:49.900
cyber world that like you have to be careful

00:20:49.900 --> 00:20:52.079
of and you have to be aware of i mean there's

00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:58.059
bots sent out by hackers that are sitting this

00:20:58.059 --> 00:21:00.160
is the way it was explained to me like sitting

00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:02.640
there waiting for you to make the wrong move

00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:04.799
or to upload the wrong thing and then they're

00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:07.440
ready to take your money and and start charging

00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:10.660
your card and and then just someone tried to

00:21:10.660 --> 00:21:13.059
explain that to me i'm like What do you mean

00:21:13.059 --> 00:21:14.980
they're sitting there waiting? Like, what do

00:21:14.980 --> 00:21:16.700
you mean? Like, where are they sitting? What

00:21:16.700 --> 00:21:22.480
does that mean? Yeah. It blows my mind. A lot

00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:25.279
of this computer stuff is over a lot of people's

00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:28.240
heads. And a lot of the people out there that

00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:31.619
say, oh, they're anti -AI, they don't understand

00:21:31.619 --> 00:21:33.599
a lot of it. I'm going to tell you, you do need

00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:38.000
to get educated on it. And at least know what

00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.740
the tip of it is. Get the tip of the iceberg.

00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:44.839
Get the tip of the AI iceberg at least so that

00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:48.099
you've got a good grasp on it and you know what

00:21:48.099 --> 00:21:51.079
you're getting into or what the future is going

00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:52.960
to look like. Just take a look at it. Don't be

00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:53.619
one of those people out there. And be aware of

00:21:53.619 --> 00:21:57.599
the dangers and what you're working on that could

00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:00.019
potentially leave you vulnerable to something

00:22:00.019 --> 00:22:03.319
happening that you couldn't anticipate. And that's

00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:06.359
it. And the skeptics out there and the people

00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:10.019
who are the anti -AI, you're going to need it.

00:22:10.329 --> 00:22:12.069
Because you're going to have to do the same thing

00:22:12.069 --> 00:22:13.349
that you do in real life. You're going to have

00:22:13.349 --> 00:22:15.269
to battle the people out there with the same

00:22:15.269 --> 00:22:17.809
stuff that they're using to try to take from

00:22:17.809 --> 00:22:22.390
you. And you've got to get educated on it and

00:22:22.390 --> 00:22:25.490
not get scammed. We all get scammed. We all get

00:22:25.490 --> 00:22:30.970
sent scams hundreds a day, thousands a day. Depending

00:22:30.970 --> 00:22:34.230
on how many emails you have, I guess. Right?

00:22:34.529 --> 00:22:38.400
I guess. Depending on how many. Nigerian princes

00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:41.779
have found me today in my email. You know, and

00:22:41.779 --> 00:22:45.059
that's not even the stuff to really worry about

00:22:45.059 --> 00:22:50.420
anymore. Most people are pretty literate, illiterate,

00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:54.259
but smart about, yeah, digital. They have a class

00:22:54.259 --> 00:22:56.519
in my kid's school. It's all digital literacy.

00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:00.079
They're learning about how to identify AI versus

00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:05.859
not AI created things and how to spot a... phishing

00:23:05.859 --> 00:23:08.339
email or you know things like that and they're

00:23:08.339 --> 00:23:11.940
in second grade yeah my my kindergartner he was

00:23:11.940 --> 00:23:13.460
watching we were watching something the other

00:23:13.460 --> 00:23:16.460
day and there was videos and it was he saw a

00:23:16.460 --> 00:23:19.759
dog fighting a bear that broke into a house you've

00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:22.380
seen these videos out there going around it looks

00:23:22.380 --> 00:23:24.799
legitimate real and he's like oh my god that's

00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:26.740
real i'm like and i'm cracking up and i'm like

00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:32.450
actually that's ai and he's like what And I'm

00:23:32.450 --> 00:23:34.470
like, yeah. I'm like, you can see right here.

00:23:34.609 --> 00:23:35.910
And I start pointing out some stuff. I'm like,

00:23:35.970 --> 00:23:38.890
yeah, buddy, that didn't. I'm like, it looks

00:23:38.890 --> 00:23:41.950
cool and it's awesome, but you've got to be able

00:23:41.950 --> 00:23:44.789
to tell the difference. Yeah. And I'm trying

00:23:44.789 --> 00:23:47.509
to explain that and say that that is an important

00:23:47.509 --> 00:23:49.450
skill that you're going to need down the road.

00:23:50.690 --> 00:23:52.769
Especially, you know, like, there's going to

00:23:52.769 --> 00:23:55.789
be a day, Coco, where we can just type in what

00:23:55.789 --> 00:23:57.869
me and you want to talk about and we can sleep

00:23:57.869 --> 00:24:00.680
in. Because it'll do it for us. It'll just put

00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.500
us video and all. It'll put us talking. I have

00:24:03.500 --> 00:24:07.059
my own personal ethical boundaries around how

00:24:07.059 --> 00:24:10.519
much AI engagement I will participate in. And

00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:13.200
that draws a line for me where I'm like, just

00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:16.059
have it speak for me or even writing for me completely.

00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:18.900
I mean, I'll have AI help me with a draft for

00:24:18.900 --> 00:24:22.500
something, but I will always rewrite it or put

00:24:22.500 --> 00:24:27.460
it in my words or, you know. Just get a little

00:24:27.460 --> 00:24:29.539
help here and there like you would if you were

00:24:29.539 --> 00:24:32.940
going to the TA in college and asking, you know,

00:24:32.940 --> 00:24:35.099
can you help me rewrite this draft or whatever.

00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:38.559
But I feel like it's a little too overboard for

00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:43.039
me to use AI in creative spaces because I feel

00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:46.839
like isn't that what we want technology to help

00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:49.900
us with is the stuff that. we want to streamline

00:24:49.900 --> 00:24:53.000
or get faster at not necessarily the spaces where

00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:55.559
we get to use our creative energy and our creative

00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:58.079
spark and put something new into the world so

00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:01.160
that's that's my take on it just personally i'm

00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:05.460
not anti -ai obviously i use use it plenty and

00:25:05.460 --> 00:25:08.519
partner with it uh at prism healing but i mean

00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:12.019
you got to have your own personal ethics on around

00:25:12.019 --> 00:25:14.920
it right would it uh blow your mind if i told

00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:18.099
you that real blaine is actually sleeping right

00:25:18.099 --> 00:25:22.480
now and this is yeah i would blow my mind a little

00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:25.299
bit let me go ahead i got one more since we're

00:25:25.299 --> 00:25:27.700
talking about ai and we're doing trailers and

00:25:27.700 --> 00:25:30.400
all of this remember when i played the one for

00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:34.680
us a while ago yeah remember that we were different

00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:38.000
people yeah yeah not even just different people

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:39.500
we were black like we weren't even we weren't

00:25:39.500 --> 00:25:41.960
even the same skin tone we weren't even we were

00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:45.490
totally and i still think that that's us In a

00:25:45.490 --> 00:25:47.470
parallel universe. I think there's a real show

00:25:47.470 --> 00:25:50.250
going on. To be honest, we would be cooler. It

00:25:50.250 --> 00:25:53.750
would be cooler. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I've done

00:25:53.750 --> 00:25:57.650
it again to see what we're at now, okay? Okay.

00:25:58.410 --> 00:26:02.450
And I gave it some specific instructions. I said,

00:26:02.490 --> 00:26:06.470
hey, give us an 80s poly pixel whatever looking

00:26:06.470 --> 00:26:10.289
thing. Here's our podcast. This is us, okay?

00:26:10.650 --> 00:26:12.970
And this is what we got. Now, you can see it,

00:26:13.009 --> 00:26:17.049
right? Yeah. You want movies to feel dangerous

00:26:17.049 --> 00:26:20.029
again. That's the frequency parallel frequencies

00:26:20.029 --> 00:26:23.009
tunes into. It's for the nights when a horror

00:26:23.009 --> 00:26:25.490
scene follows you into the hallway, when a sci

00:26:25.490 --> 00:26:28.829
-fi world feels too close to your own. When an

00:26:28.829 --> 00:26:31.369
old movie suddenly unlocks a version of you you

00:26:31.369 --> 00:26:34.910
forgot existed. Each episode dives into the films

00:26:34.910 --> 00:26:38.049
that shape pop culture, not as trivia, but as

00:26:38.049 --> 00:26:41.769
mood, memory, obsession, and warning signal.

00:26:42.109 --> 00:26:45.359
One week. You're inside the glow of a nostalgic

00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:48.640
classic. The next, you're staring at a monster

00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:51.059
and realizing it was never just a monster. The

00:26:51.059 --> 00:26:54.519
detail is the deep dive, the scene, the feeling,

00:26:54.599 --> 00:26:58.039
the reason it still echoes here. Parallel frequency.

00:26:59.900 --> 00:27:06.420
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Look at this, Coco. That's

00:27:06.420 --> 00:27:09.359
fantastic. That needs to be our new cover art

00:27:09.359 --> 00:27:14.829
right there. That's us? Yeah. Like, you can't

00:27:14.829 --> 00:27:17.210
mistake that. If you see that, you can't be like,

00:27:17.309 --> 00:27:22.289
oh, I don't know who that is. That's me. For

00:27:22.289 --> 00:27:26.369
sure. That's you. Yeah. How does this thing end?

00:27:26.609 --> 00:27:28.930
Let's see. Stop being background noise. Press

00:27:28.930 --> 00:27:31.990
play and tune back into the movies that rewired

00:27:31.990 --> 00:27:34.849
you. Look at that. Maybe that's our new cover

00:27:34.849 --> 00:27:37.670
art. Look at that. That's not bad for a trailer.

00:27:38.329 --> 00:27:42.450
I'm impressed. It's fun. I'm impressed. Look

00:27:42.450 --> 00:27:45.309
at how far we've come from that other trailer

00:27:45.309 --> 00:27:50.069
to this. It's a little psychedelic, isn't it?

00:27:50.150 --> 00:27:52.309
I mean, did you get, did you get kind of that

00:27:52.309 --> 00:27:56.029
ketamine trip vibe? Cause like it kept like going

00:27:56.029 --> 00:27:58.470
from one world to another. That's, that's yeah.

00:27:58.490 --> 00:28:01.230
I mean, experience was like, it was like, Oh,

00:28:01.309 --> 00:28:03.569
now I'm in a new space. Oh, now I'm in a different

00:28:03.569 --> 00:28:08.109
space. You know, what's even wilder is I think

00:28:08.109 --> 00:28:13.519
that's my voice. Oh. I think that's an attempt

00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:16.339
at a clone of my voice. One week, you're inside

00:28:16.339 --> 00:28:20.039
the glow of a nostalgic classic. It is. It's

00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:22.099
just missing kind of the accent and twang that

00:28:22.099 --> 00:28:25.880
you've got. Got it in there. This is wild. So

00:28:25.880 --> 00:28:28.619
it says, okay, so that's the style I picked with

00:28:28.619 --> 00:28:33.160
low poly retro. And then I just said, hey, make

00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:37.019
a trailer for parallel frequencies. There it

00:28:37.019 --> 00:28:42.299
is. That's crazy. Yeah. That is insane. Let's

00:28:42.299 --> 00:28:45.039
get to that last frame of us. Look at that again.

00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:48.440
I love this. This is like a Minecraft version

00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:53.140
of us or something. I look better. I look better.

00:28:54.940 --> 00:28:58.960
Me too. I don't look as raggedy. Can you see

00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:02.640
that they even got the watch on me? Look at that.

00:29:03.390 --> 00:29:07.750
yeah bracelets i always wear bracelets so got

00:29:07.750 --> 00:29:10.269
that i don't know what the crown is where we're

00:29:10.269 --> 00:29:15.250
wearing there my crown from my photo shoot yeah

00:29:15.250 --> 00:29:21.410
oh yeah pretty impressed occasions and i have

00:29:21.410 --> 00:29:24.029
a microphone and you don't what does that mean

00:29:24.029 --> 00:29:26.710
because i like the microphone i like to i don't

00:29:26.710 --> 00:29:28.710
it probably means you should take it out of my

00:29:28.710 --> 00:29:31.970
hands at all time and i don't need one That's

00:29:31.970 --> 00:29:34.250
what it means. You like the wireless mic more,

00:29:34.269 --> 00:29:39.430
and I like to have it in my face. I am just playing.

00:29:40.009 --> 00:29:42.670
She is Coco. You are the freaks. And this has

00:29:42.670 --> 00:29:44.930
been Trailer Park Thursday. It's been a wild

00:29:44.930 --> 00:29:47.210
one. But thank you for sticking around, and we'll

00:29:47.210 --> 00:29:48.509
see you on the other side.
