01:21.182 --> 01:22.924
[SPEAKER_02]: So happy to be here.

01:23.410 --> 01:30.841
[SPEAKER_04]: And Michael Austin, most of the time he's in the background running it all, but we've invited him once a week.

01:30.861 --> 01:33.945
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm once a month, and we've gotten a lot of reply on it.

01:33.965 --> 01:35.547
[SPEAKER_04]: That's why we wanted you to want tonight.

01:35.968 --> 01:36.749
[SPEAKER_04]: There's questions.

01:37.450 --> 01:40.094
[SPEAKER_04]: They're asking you about you, that you can only answer.

01:41.216 --> 01:43.579
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, well, Michael Austin, there he is, buddy.

01:44.480 --> 01:46.103
[SPEAKER_02]: Glad to see you again.

01:46.123 --> 01:46.363
[SPEAKER_03]: How'd you?

01:46.732 --> 01:52.678
[SPEAKER_02]: We're so glad to have you here, especially because after the last podcast, I laughed.

01:52.738 --> 01:57.123
[SPEAKER_02]: I said, I, I swore a bunch because I kept saying, you were scared in the crap out of me.

02:00.106 --> 02:11.338
[SPEAKER_02]: I had a lot of people, even people I work with, you know, we've got an IT department that takes care of us and make sure we're safe and not messing around with stuff we shouldn't, but at home,

02:11.723 --> 02:27.511
[SPEAKER_02]: And with our phones and people do so much shopping and stuff, it's so scary to just be clicking on websites and clicking on things that I'm so happy that you're here to help us kind of avoid some landmines it possible.

02:28.112 --> 02:29.875
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll help you filter through all your spam.

02:29.995 --> 02:30.897
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what I'm here for.

02:31.383 --> 03:00.985
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I'll just tell you one that I got this week and it said that something about I've got a citation and it said something you taught.gov blah blah blah and I just kept thinking well I haven't gotten a ticket or I don't have anything that I should be concerned about so finally I just thought I better chat you know so I did check in and it did say

03:01.437 --> 03:04.802
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, we're getting those.

03:05.303 --> 03:08.287
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, these are from talking about your driver's license.

03:08.608 --> 03:15.278
[SPEAKER_02]: So how do we know what's the best way to figure out if those are just scams or if they're real?

03:15.298 --> 03:16.720
[SPEAKER_02]: Because you seem very real.

03:17.361 --> 03:23.169
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, you can always go directly to the website of the offending citation and see if it is actually real.

03:23.309 --> 03:25.032
[SPEAKER_03]: So you can log in with your information.

03:25.413 --> 03:27.055
[SPEAKER_03]: Never click on any links from an email.

03:27.255 --> 03:28.457
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the number one thing.

03:28.606 --> 03:35.958
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, so you get something from Facebook or your email box is over full or there's so many of them out there.

03:37.000 --> 03:41.387
[SPEAKER_03]: The most prudent way is to just say, you know what, I'm not going to click on any links from the email.

03:41.427 --> 03:50.682
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to go ahead and just go directly to the website and see if anything, you know, any warnings pop up or any alerts that are your account is over quota, stuff like that.

03:50.742 --> 03:53.466
[SPEAKER_03]: So never trust the email always go to the source.

03:54.205 --> 03:57.609
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, perfect because that's that I do know don't click the links.

03:57.950 --> 04:23.824
[SPEAKER_02]: I do I did know not to do that, but it it just seemed so legit that I just I just didn't dare do anything, but that is I looked for scams and with that, but all right, so tell me about guardian that's that's supposed to be something that helps the it's a service that you pay for to help avoid issues.

04:23.939 --> 04:25.481
[SPEAKER_03]: So there's a few of them out there.

04:25.541 --> 04:31.270
[SPEAKER_03]: There's Guardio, there's Armor, Nickier has one built in, AT&T offers one as well.

04:31.710 --> 04:33.393
[SPEAKER_03]: Some are free, some most are paid.

04:33.974 --> 04:37.098
[SPEAKER_03]: I think I'm paying about 100 a year for my Nickier armor.

04:37.659 --> 04:41.905
[SPEAKER_03]: And what it does, it adds a extra layer of security at your router.

04:42.466 --> 04:49.597
[SPEAKER_03]: So if you have any sort of incoming threats or you go to websites that may be spyware or malware, it'll stop that before it even happens.

04:50.318 --> 04:53.322
[SPEAKER_03]: And it'll basically let you know this web page

04:53.302 --> 04:55.705
[SPEAKER_03]: because of, you know, spyware or what have you.

04:56.025 --> 05:04.374
[SPEAKER_03]: There's also a few other ones you can download on your computer from a vast and macophie, Norton is really good for Windows users.

05:05.816 --> 05:09.920
[SPEAKER_03]: There's, you know, you just type in malware scanner and look at, well, look at the reviews.

05:09.960 --> 05:13.264
[SPEAKER_03]: See, which trusted ones are out there, but typically you want to go with name brands.

05:14.525 --> 05:15.927
[SPEAKER_02]: Perfect.

05:15.947 --> 05:17.088
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, thanks.

05:17.208 --> 05:18.449
[SPEAKER_02]: Gianni, do you have any questions?

05:18.990 --> 05:21.773
[SPEAKER_02]: I know you probably don't have as much

05:23.305 --> 05:26.550
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah, I just sent them to my go to this and he solves it.

05:27.411 --> 05:28.153
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.

05:28.173 --> 05:32.660
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm constantly thanking my thank you, Mike, again, again, again, again, again, again, of course.

05:32.700 --> 05:33.020
[SPEAKER_04]: Of course.

05:33.681 --> 05:34.202
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

05:34.222 --> 05:35.624
[SPEAKER_03]: It really varies.

05:35.665 --> 05:43.857
[SPEAKER_03]: There are so many different, you know, spam systems out there and because they're all coming mostly from out of the country, there really is no laws that will help us filter them.

05:44.519 --> 05:46.922
[SPEAKER_03]: So it is what it is.

05:47.002 --> 05:49.887
[SPEAKER_03]: So you just have to be prudent and you use your best judgment.

05:50.727 --> 05:58.817
[SPEAKER_04]: I got one that I laughed at the other day because it said you're three months behind you a car payment with coming to impound your car.

05:59.938 --> 06:03.703
[SPEAKER_04]: They try anything.

06:03.763 --> 06:04.404
[SPEAKER_04]: It's amazing.

06:04.744 --> 06:06.767
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah, there's all different ones.

06:06.807 --> 06:13.495
[SPEAKER_03]: There's one that was going around for a while that says we're watching you on your computer and we see everything that you're doing and I'm like,

06:13.863 --> 06:19.269
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm at my work computer, I don't do anything as if you're watching me work, you're not threatening me.

06:19.469 --> 06:20.310
[SPEAKER_00]: Pretty boring.

06:20.330 --> 06:20.790
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.

06:21.271 --> 06:27.578
[SPEAKER_03]: And for those you just ignore, I get people, I have a lot of clients that just email me random stuff and they say, what is this?

06:27.678 --> 06:28.258
[SPEAKER_03]: Is this okay?

06:28.298 --> 06:28.799
[SPEAKER_03]: Is this safe?

06:29.440 --> 06:33.884
[SPEAKER_03]: And again, it comes down to look at the email address that it's coming from.

06:34.105 --> 06:36.167
[SPEAKER_03]: You can right click on it with your computer.

06:36.527 --> 06:42.013
[SPEAKER_03]: And you can see if it's coming from the actual vendor or if it's coming from a random email address.

06:42.601 --> 06:55.039
[SPEAKER_03]: you just right click on the right click on the header of the email where the email the sender and it'll tell you what the email address is where it's coming from and that'll give you a pretty good approximation on you know what it is.

06:56.221 --> 07:08.980
[SPEAKER_04]: See to all our listeners remember Mike is on once a week I mean once a month so make sure any questions you do have technical he can answer and believe me he's been doing a food week for over 20 years.

07:09.247 --> 07:09.928
[SPEAKER_00]: right.

07:10.329 --> 07:15.217
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't do HVAC but you know anything computer related I'll go ahead and answer.

07:15.918 --> 07:16.880
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah that's great.

07:17.200 --> 07:25.795
[SPEAKER_02]: Now so tell us what's throwing a little common interest here because I don't remember and I'm sure you've told me but tell us how you two met.

07:26.616 --> 07:27.778
[SPEAKER_02]: How did you two team up?

07:28.265 --> 07:30.748
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, it was a fishing trip and for him you that now.

07:30.768 --> 07:32.551
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, we had a mutual acquaintance.

07:32.791 --> 07:34.874
[SPEAKER_03]: I've been doing this for about 26 years.

07:35.675 --> 07:43.406
[SPEAKER_03]: And about 20 plus years ago, I met his business manager who I was doing another one of his clients doing some work for.

07:44.147 --> 07:48.032
[SPEAKER_03]: And he introduced me to Gianni and we just hit it off and we've been running since.

07:49.374 --> 07:49.875
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank God.

07:50.315 --> 07:52.098
[SPEAKER_04]: I did a bit of business 20 years ago.

07:54.501 --> 07:57.445
[SPEAKER_04]: I know nothing about this stuff and he could access to that.

07:58.150 --> 08:08.023
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, you know, it was, it wasn't out of the realm of like, I don't know, it was more of, you know, this is new to me and could you help me understand the concept.

08:08.043 --> 08:10.386
[SPEAKER_03]: So I just, you know, open the door for him and I show them the path.

08:11.427 --> 08:12.949
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and it's amazing.

08:12.989 --> 08:20.618
[SPEAKER_02]: And I do know, even for me at work, I work, you know, 45 minutes away from our main headquarters in Salt Lake City.

08:21.059 --> 08:27.347
[SPEAKER_02]: Some days I work at our out based office and just being able to go on and

08:28.441 --> 08:44.870
[SPEAKER_02]: have you come in and because you've done it for me you see I'm going to send you some click on this and you can go in and fix it so you are so talented and seriously you look like your 26 so I keep thinking how old were you when you met you look at where you attend?

08:45.311 --> 08:52.103
[SPEAKER_03]: That's amazing I was a baby I slept a lot in my youth but I always I'm a hard worker and

08:52.083 --> 08:52.704
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I know.

08:53.024 --> 08:54.485
[SPEAKER_03]: I just, I don't let stress get to me.

08:54.585 --> 08:59.229
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, one of the rules I live by is don't get upset over things that are beyond your control.

09:00.190 --> 09:04.534
[SPEAKER_03]: So, and with that kind of mantra, I, you know, I don't let the world get to me.

09:05.135 --> 09:08.878
[SPEAKER_03]: So, I try to stay as stress free as possible except when it comes to my 40 year old.

09:09.639 --> 09:12.401
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I was gonna say, go ahead, Johnny.

09:13.082 --> 09:14.363
[SPEAKER_04]: He gives me the privilege now.

09:14.423 --> 09:15.204
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm stressed for you.

09:15.224 --> 09:15.844
[SPEAKER_04]: I just called him.

09:16.565 --> 09:16.825
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.

09:18.707 --> 09:20.048
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, and he's stressed, I love it.

09:20.737 --> 09:26.482
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it is lucky because, you know, I'm a new touch, you know, in New York, and you're in California.

09:27.543 --> 09:27.623
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

09:27.643 --> 09:31.006
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's amazing what you can do to keep us all up and running.

09:31.106 --> 09:33.007
[SPEAKER_02]: So I thank you again.

09:33.328 --> 09:41.295
[SPEAKER_02]: So Roger asked, what would you suggest for stopping scammers that the police and other people aren't doing?

09:41.315 --> 09:42.816
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you have any recommendations?

09:42.836 --> 09:50.102
[SPEAKER_03]: Or do you see anything that would help?

09:50.538 --> 09:54.244
[SPEAKER_03]: And he is very good at getting back at scammers.

09:54.324 --> 10:00.934
[SPEAKER_03]: Hill actually goes far shutting down their data centers by taking over the computers and getting it where they are interoperable.

10:01.675 --> 10:05.500
[SPEAKER_03]: So there are different influencers online that offer different things.

10:05.600 --> 10:09.446
[SPEAKER_03]: There's one guy that has a master's or a degree in Homeland Security.

10:09.867 --> 10:16.697
[SPEAKER_03]: So he knows like the stuff to look for, how to look up IPs, locations, and also to do back-end stuff.

10:16.677 --> 10:38.043
[SPEAKER_03]: But scammer payback, they have a full channel that's dedicated to getting these, you know, all these scammers that are just doing malicious stuff to the elderly, where they're having them, you know, get gift cards and, you know, send boxes of money to, you know, mules that are basically, you know, dropping it off, it's, it's really, really bad, and it's like a billion dollar industry.

10:38.664 --> 10:42.769
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's going to be really hard to shut it down, but these guys were doing a good job at, you know,

10:42.749 --> 10:46.971
[SPEAKER_03]: one at a time going through and they pretend they're old women, they have voice disguises

10:47.052 --> 11:10.600
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I need help, you know, getting into my account and they set up fake websites that basically look like they're Bitcoin account or the bank accounts and they're totally fraud and they're also partnered with the companies themselves so the Bitcoin companies and the banks So the banks know that they're doing this and they set up these accounts and once these cameras put in their information They now have their information to shut them down and follow the path.

11:11.221 --> 11:16.587
[SPEAKER_03]: So I would say scammer payback is look into them and send them a message and I'm sure they'll be able to help you out

11:18.001 --> 11:21.919
[SPEAKER_02]: That's that's that's that's cool.

11:22.120 --> 11:24.028
[SPEAKER_02]: I love paybacks myself

11:24.818 --> 11:25.158
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

11:25.179 --> 11:37.256
[SPEAKER_03]: No, it's, you know, we grew up, you know, all with, you know, semi-Christian Catholic values, knowing, you know, it's wrong to steal, you know, you don't want to do things that are against, you know, your religion or the moral good of society.

11:38.478 --> 11:42.063
[SPEAKER_03]: But, you know, there's going to be the shady people that don't see the other options.

11:42.083 --> 11:47.190
[SPEAKER_03]: So they're going to do stuff just to, you know, pay their bills, which, again, if you have to feed your kids, you're going to do what you got to do.

11:47.291 --> 11:47.671
[SPEAKER_03]: I get it.

11:48.152 --> 11:51.096
[SPEAKER_03]: But at the same time, is it, you know, morally right now?

11:51.515 --> 11:52.476
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely not.

11:52.877 --> 11:56.542
[SPEAKER_02]: I said four kids and I never wrote people off.

11:56.562 --> 12:01.008
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, there's a lot of broad people out there.

12:01.028 --> 12:02.590
[SPEAKER_04]: It's really desperate times.

12:02.610 --> 12:05.835
[SPEAKER_04]: When you start, you know, I'm the senior citizen of the group.

12:06.516 --> 12:09.300
[SPEAKER_04]: I've never seen our society.

12:10.181 --> 12:12.043
[SPEAKER_04]: So, Angle, so feminist.

12:12.804 --> 12:16.029
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I'm worried about it.

12:16.189 --> 12:17.190
[SPEAKER_04]: There's so much hatred.

12:17.371 --> 12:17.931
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

12:17.952 --> 12:18.332
[SPEAKER_04]: No.

12:18.937 --> 12:36.928
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, a lot of that unfortunately stems from propaganda, you know, we can have this discussion if you want to, but it's essentially it's to offset the class war into a, you know, you want to, the higher ups basically want us to fight, so we're not going after them.

12:36.908 --> 12:46.227
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, they want to keep us in our little quiet pod at the same reason why Westinghouse, you know, adopted our whole school system so we are busy little bees.

12:46.708 --> 12:55.907
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, we stay in our our position, we know our place and we don't, you know, rumble the feathers of any of, you know, high society or interrupt their plans.

12:56.187 --> 12:58.512
[SPEAKER_03]: They want to do what they want to do without interruption.

12:58.492 --> 13:05.305
[SPEAKER_03]: So we're here just to be our busy little worker bees, work our 9 to 5's, come home and you know, we can't, we have to be complacent.

13:05.345 --> 13:08.191
[SPEAKER_03]: We can't, you know, speak up, no protesting, none of that.

13:08.271 --> 13:13.621
[SPEAKER_03]: All of our amendment, you know, they don't like our constitution, they don't like any of any of our rules that we are rights that we have.

13:14.182 --> 13:18.991
[SPEAKER_03]: So we're here basically, you know, we're coming into a change of position.

13:19.131 --> 13:19.993
[SPEAKER_03]: So

13:20.480 --> 13:25.968
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, as the class war, people start waking up and realizing that, hey, it's not us against them.

13:25.988 --> 13:28.671
[SPEAKER_03]: It's us against the people that have been bringing us down.

13:29.372 --> 13:36.222
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, once that starts happening and people start waking up and realizing, you know, I don't have to fight my neighbor when my neighbor is not the problem.

13:36.543 --> 13:47.618
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a bigger, bigger clause, but again, it goes back to the whole thing I was saying when we started, don't get upset of the things that are beyond your control, because unless you're in a position of power, you're not going to do anything to change it.

13:48.475 --> 13:50.244
[SPEAKER_02]: I totally agree with that.

13:50.486 --> 13:52.255
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why I hate watching the news.

13:53.300 --> 13:54.205
[SPEAKER_02]: I hate watching the news.

13:54.225 --> 13:54.728
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I don't.

13:54.989 --> 13:55.954
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I don't.

13:56.120 --> 14:17.091
[SPEAKER_03]: The worst is local news like watch the network news at least like give you the broad spectrum, you know, like yeah, we're at war with the ran and you know, Trump's threatening to just obliterate everything, which is essentially war crime and it's like, okay, what's not do that because the people of Iran didn't do anything to us, you know, I personally have nothing against Iran and you know, understand you want their oil.

14:17.272 --> 14:18.273
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what we go to wars.

14:18.313 --> 14:19.495
[SPEAKER_03]: We always want their oil.

14:19.475 --> 14:22.139
[SPEAKER_03]: But at the same time, you know, we got to defend our ally.

14:22.420 --> 14:23.982
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, we've got to keep back going.

14:24.483 --> 14:27.268
[SPEAKER_03]: But heaven forbid, someone comes up with a form of alternative power.

14:27.809 --> 14:29.171
[SPEAKER_03]: They just disappear from the planet.

14:29.772 --> 14:36.743
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's like, there are certain things in place, policies in place that prevent us from reaching our utopia, unfortunately.

14:37.324 --> 14:42.192
[SPEAKER_03]: And again, it goes back to the kings and queens of

14:42.172 --> 14:51.602
[SPEAKER_03]: There's only so much you can do, and unless you, like I said, you're in a position of power or have influence, just sit back, watch the show and enjoy your life, you know, enjoy your family.

14:52.203 --> 14:59.431
[SPEAKER_04]: I remember when you used to watch like Edward or Maro and those kind of people, you went to bed believing what they said.

15:00.312 --> 15:03.835
[SPEAKER_04]: I can't even, I don't watch the news anymore anyway because of that reason.

15:04.416 --> 15:07.099
[SPEAKER_04]: Everything, the next day it's a myth.

15:07.079 --> 15:12.028
[SPEAKER_04]: how to get on network television on a major network and they're allowing this.

15:12.108 --> 15:13.891
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't understand it, be honest with you.

15:14.312 --> 15:20.182
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, most of the stuff from network TV comes from a single news feed associated press.

15:21.104 --> 15:30.100
[SPEAKER_03]: And most of that is all filtered and you know, goes through the government first to make sure it can, you know, it can be released and then from there, it's like here's what you can report on.

15:30.080 --> 15:38.313
[SPEAKER_03]: That's why if you remember during COVID, there was a, they did a video of like 20 different news stations, also reading the exact same copy.

15:38.794 --> 15:41.959
[SPEAKER_03]: And they used that against them saying, Oh, the news is all corrupt.

15:41.979 --> 15:43.501
[SPEAKER_03]: It's all, it's all controlled.

15:43.561 --> 15:48.409
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like, no, it's basically the stories are coming from the same place.

15:48.389 --> 15:55.001
[SPEAKER_03]: And you're wondering why all these elites are buying all these news franchises, it's like, well, in a sense, they can control the news.

15:55.281 --> 16:00.450
[SPEAKER_03]: It's the same way we're, you know, people of power are, they have a story that comes out about them.

16:00.470 --> 16:01.312
[SPEAKER_03]: That's not favorable.

16:01.672 --> 16:04.778
[SPEAKER_03]: They can pay off that magazine and the story gets buried.

16:05.579 --> 16:08.103
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's, you know, again, it's power and influence.

16:08.524 --> 16:10.768
[SPEAKER_03]: It's, it's, what are you going to do about it?

16:11.170 --> 16:11.651
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.

16:11.931 --> 16:12.652
[SPEAKER_03]: Your own history.

16:13.192 --> 16:16.997
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, throughout history, you know, going back to the messenger, and that's the whole thing.

16:17.037 --> 16:22.042
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't shoot the messenger, you know, we're just reporting it, but at the same time, there's only so much you can do.

16:22.323 --> 16:26.087
[SPEAKER_03]: So you can be complacent or you rise up and then face the consequences.

16:27.909 --> 16:28.029
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

16:28.049 --> 16:29.871
[SPEAKER_02]: Was I got a question with AI?

16:29.891 --> 16:34.236
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I'm so I see these things now, which I think actually pretty cool.

16:34.496 --> 16:35.217
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought about it.

16:35.277 --> 16:39.642
[SPEAKER_02]: They showed the dancing, the people from,

16:40.735 --> 16:46.201
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my gosh, Patrick, Swacey, and Jennifer, what, what's that show?

16:46.221 --> 16:47.763
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my gosh, I've dropped my answer.

16:48.143 --> 16:58.595
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, but I've seen 500 times, but they show these people, well, my sister, let me just use this example and said, my sister just had a hip replacement.

16:59.015 --> 17:05.723
[SPEAKER_02]: And somebody made a video of her and she was dancing and shaking her hip and I was like, what the hell?

17:06.103 --> 17:06.844
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like,

17:07.263 --> 17:09.206
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a bionic hip, you know?

17:09.687 --> 17:12.612
[SPEAKER_02]: So the AI used her likeness.

17:13.153 --> 17:16.058
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it was her and dance in a round.

17:16.419 --> 17:21.608
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's it's fun if it's used for good.

17:22.370 --> 17:23.712
[SPEAKER_02]: So I mean, help.

17:23.732 --> 17:25.255
[SPEAKER_04]: And a likeness is that's confusing.

17:25.275 --> 17:28.360
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I think you take a picture of the person,

17:28.711 --> 17:33.057
[SPEAKER_02]: and then it turns it into a dancing video and it's just her standing there.

17:33.157 --> 17:37.383
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know it's magic, but but I'm saying it may have absolutely no sister.

17:38.103 --> 17:44.872
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, one sister took a picture of my other sister and then it turns into a dancing thing.

17:45.013 --> 17:46.094
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's what I was thinking.

17:46.114 --> 17:51.982
[SPEAKER_02]: I saw the dirty dancing one and I was laughing because it shows a man and a woman side by side.

17:52.102 --> 17:58.110
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just to picture both of them standing there and then the next thing you know, it shows them doing this

17:58.377 --> 18:08.258
[SPEAKER_02]: that's so popular, you know, and, and so well known, and I thought, I'm going to get Tiani and we're both going to do that and we're going to make one of us and put it that'll get some clicks.

18:09.781 --> 18:12.106
[SPEAKER_04]: I love to dance, sorry.

18:12.306 --> 18:12.927
[SPEAKER_02]: I love it.

18:13.148 --> 18:14.050
[SPEAKER_02]: It was so funny.

18:14.110 --> 18:15.272
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought, I should do that.

18:15.292 --> 18:16.114
[SPEAKER_02]: That's so funny.

18:16.154 --> 18:16.555
[SPEAKER_02]: But,

18:16.535 --> 18:35.593
[SPEAKER_02]: As far as life distance is like that, I mean, people, you know, you look at things and surveillance videos and people murdered and caught by video cameras, what's from likelihood of, I mean, how easy is it to tell the real, a real one from a fake one.

18:35.934 --> 18:37.095
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, those are actually.

18:37.115 --> 18:41.119
[SPEAKER_03]: Right now, there are tell tales, not impossible, not yet.

18:41.459 --> 18:42.340
[SPEAKER_03]: So,

18:42.640 --> 18:44.805
[SPEAKER_03]: Every day AI is getting better and better.

18:45.286 --> 18:51.058
[SPEAKER_03]: It all started with the spaghetti experiment with Will Smith, where they showed him eating spaghetti and it was all over the place.

18:51.298 --> 18:53.884
[SPEAKER_03]: It just looked like computer generated gobbledness.

18:54.505 --> 19:00.177
[SPEAKER_03]: Now they have one where it literally looks cinematic and he's eating spaghetti and it looks real.

19:00.157 --> 19:02.101
[SPEAKER_03]: So it depends on the engine you use.

19:02.762 --> 19:06.108
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, there are certain restrictions on certain platforms like Sora too.

19:06.569 --> 19:12.681
[SPEAKER_03]: If you use any political characters or famous people, it has a mandatory watermark that is placed on there.

19:12.761 --> 19:13.923
[SPEAKER_03]: So you can't circumvent that.

19:14.284 --> 19:16.849
[SPEAKER_03]: However, not every platform offers that.

19:16.829 --> 19:25.352
[SPEAKER_03]: So if you go to Runway or use Gen5 or any of these other models, Nano Banana just came out and it's incredible.

19:25.774 --> 19:32.492
[SPEAKER_03]: And just like Google's V03, it looks surreal, looks cinematic quality, and you can't tell the difference.

19:32.472 --> 19:40.600
[SPEAKER_03]: you know, every once in a while, maybe, you know, I've been seeing some about the spacewalk or not the spacewalk, but the Mars mission or I'm sorry, moon mission.

19:41.241 --> 19:48.408
[SPEAKER_03]: And they're saying, like, look at this footage here, an astronaut has three legs, and it was just a video someone made, put up on the internet.

19:48.428 --> 19:49.629
[SPEAKER_03]: It wasn't released by NASA.

19:50.089 --> 19:57.957
[SPEAKER_03]: It was, you know, someone else made it and said, you know, claimed it was released by NASA to claim that the whole moon, you know, our moon exploration is fake and everything.

19:57.937 --> 20:07.067
[SPEAKER_03]: But I overheard a gentleman saying, you know, during our Apollo missions, there are over 500,000 people that were involved in the NASA missions.

20:08.048 --> 20:10.230
[SPEAKER_03]: It's going to be pretty hard to keep a secret with all that.

20:11.291 --> 20:19.641
[SPEAKER_03]: Unfortunately, you know, there's going to be, you know, doctorate video, we have video of Buzz Aldrin talking to a little girl saying, asking like, when are we going back to the moon?

20:19.901 --> 20:22.864
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's replying saying, well, I wish we did go there.

20:23.148 --> 20:26.177
[SPEAKER_03]: And in another clip he's saying, oh, yeah, you know, we'll go back one day.

20:26.839 --> 20:35.385
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, to find out what is real and what is not right now there are tools available that you can put the video through and it'll let you know if it's artificial or not.

20:35.686 --> 20:47.451
[SPEAKER_03]: on the cheaper or the free AI systems, you'll see people with six fingers or extra toes or when they move or like a certain object in the background will just melt or disappear in the background.

20:47.471 --> 20:49.516
[SPEAKER_03]: So you have to pay attention to visual clues.

20:50.358 --> 20:55.669
[SPEAKER_03]: Other than that, I'd say in the next two to five years, you're not going to be able to tell the difference.

20:56.122 --> 21:01.490
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, y'all tell you right now, I myself have gotten caught up in this in the last couple of months.

21:01.911 --> 21:12.747
[SPEAKER_04]: I've called a couple of major friends like England, Bernhardt, Humperdank and different people because they said he got sick who had a heart attack and I know they're personal numbers.

21:12.727 --> 21:13.969
[SPEAKER_04]: And I said, oh, you're home.

21:14.469 --> 21:15.811
[SPEAKER_04]: He's why I've been home all day.

21:15.831 --> 21:16.692
[SPEAKER_04]: I just got back in.

21:17.093 --> 21:18.635
[SPEAKER_04]: I said, I just said you're in a hospital.

21:18.655 --> 21:20.497
[SPEAKER_04]: So I've been getting calls on that all day long.

21:21.018 --> 21:25.464
[SPEAKER_04]: They get all these people that we should say, breast, sort of, send money.

21:25.504 --> 21:27.246
[SPEAKER_04]: I've said, we've sent him money.

21:27.266 --> 21:28.628
[SPEAKER_04]: He's got more money than anyone.

21:29.689 --> 21:31.091
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, there's a problem with clickbait.

21:31.211 --> 21:35.697
[SPEAKER_03]: Like if I go in Facebook at the very top, it shows Donald Trump resting like this.

21:36.338 --> 21:38.160
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's like,

21:38.427 --> 21:39.188
[SPEAKER_03]: that's not real.

21:39.708 --> 21:41.129
[SPEAKER_03]: There's going to be fake news out there.

21:41.249 --> 21:44.572
[SPEAKER_03]: We've, you know, ever since 2020, it's been exploding.

21:45.433 --> 21:47.895
[SPEAKER_03]: And, you know, people are just generating fake content.

21:47.915 --> 21:49.737
[SPEAKER_03]: A lot of it's coming from outside the country.

21:50.618 --> 21:54.541
[SPEAKER_03]: But again, people are just making up stories to suit their own needs.

21:54.561 --> 22:08.113
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm not saying it's, you know, a world, it's not done like a prank like the onion because the onion or hilarious or mouse trap news or anything like that that are, you know,

22:08.093 --> 22:16.885
[SPEAKER_03]: But people are just making, you know, both, you know, both stuff up about, you know, like before who recently just passed away, actually Chuck Norris.

22:17.526 --> 22:22.453
[SPEAKER_03]: So before Chuck Norris was admitted to the hospital, they already announced that he was passing.

22:23.114 --> 22:33.949
[SPEAKER_04]: And I know, that's depressing.

22:33.929 --> 22:34.631
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, great.

22:35.293 --> 22:39.203
[SPEAKER_04]: And I called him and he said to me, I said, I just hope you died.

22:39.443 --> 22:40.987
[SPEAKER_04]: That's all the chords I've been getting.

22:41.027 --> 22:41.869
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not dead yet.

22:41.910 --> 22:43.895
[SPEAKER_04]: Two weeks later he died.

22:44.296 --> 22:44.536
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

22:44.937 --> 22:45.238
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.

22:46.028 --> 22:56.060
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, you know, all these, even the news agencies, they have pre-built roles for certain people after you reach a certain age, they make a real of that person.

22:56.521 --> 22:59.084
[SPEAKER_03]: Especially, you know, TMZ is up on this as well.

22:59.785 --> 23:02.428
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, and they have people all over the place.

23:02.448 --> 23:06.653
[SPEAKER_03]: So if something happens, you know, there are everyone's constantly being watched, especially celebrities.

23:06.633 --> 23:18.549
[SPEAKER_03]: So if they get sent to the hospital or get sent to, you know, some place or they're not doing right or they're out in public and walking weird, you know, of course, TMZ is going to come and be like, hey, look at this, you know, because that's how they make their money.

23:19.411 --> 23:23.436
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, let's do a quick break.

23:24.498 --> 23:25.519
[SPEAKER_01]: And we ride back.

23:26.140 --> 23:32.667
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, the quick break is going to be real quick because it's about this wonderful book that you've already made a bestseller.

23:33.188 --> 23:38.795
[SPEAKER_04]: So I wanted to go back on or tell your friends, go on Amazon as the best way to get it.

23:39.716 --> 23:41.658
[SPEAKER_04]: And you'll have it the next day or two.

23:42.158 --> 23:48.005
[SPEAKER_04]: And if you know anywhere I'm performing, bring it with you and I'll sign it personally as my thanks to you.

23:48.626 --> 23:50.067
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's Balfeus sequence.

23:50.688 --> 23:53.211
[SPEAKER_04]: It's interesting stories.

23:54.203 --> 23:57.488
[SPEAKER_04]: believe me, by the book, you will not regret it.

23:58.549 --> 23:59.871
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the commercial end of this week.

24:00.753 --> 24:01.354
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.

24:02.395 --> 24:09.286
[SPEAKER_02]: These are pretty simple and I think we should know the answers, but what about using free Wi-Fi?

24:09.426 --> 24:15.655
[SPEAKER_02]: So I went to a hotel, our last when we had Allen, Allen and go on.

24:15.989 --> 24:21.257
[SPEAKER_02]: And I thought, I'm don't dare use the free Wi-Fi at the hotel.

24:21.378 --> 24:22.780
[SPEAKER_02]: I just use my hotspot.

24:22.800 --> 24:25.945
[SPEAKER_02]: So should we use free Wi-Fi or not use free Wi-Fi?

24:26.746 --> 24:28.028
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, so here's the thing with that.

24:28.569 --> 24:33.377
[SPEAKER_03]: If you're on someone else's network, they can see all of your traffic.

24:33.397 --> 24:36.822
[SPEAKER_03]: Everything that you're doing on there is publicly visible.

24:37.063 --> 24:38.906
[SPEAKER_03]: And someone else can intercept that.

24:39.627 --> 24:42.992
[SPEAKER_03]: The way to circumvent that is to use a VPN.

24:43.462 --> 24:44.624
[SPEAKER_03]: or use your hotspot.

24:45.346 --> 24:49.994
[SPEAKER_03]: So if you're checking your bank, use your phone, don't use the Wi-Fi, don't use a hotspot.

24:50.736 --> 24:52.679
[SPEAKER_03]: Your phone is going to have all your sensitive information.

24:52.759 --> 24:58.971
[SPEAKER_03]: If you're using a laptop and you're doing conducting business or you're running a podcast or doing a show, you can hop on the Wi-Fi.

24:59.011 --> 24:59.572
[SPEAKER_03]: That's fine.

24:59.933 --> 25:02.077
[SPEAKER_03]: But don't check your bank on that Wi-Fi.

25:02.698 --> 25:03.259
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, okay.

25:04.032 --> 25:15.054
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, and the little DPA devices you can get most computers have VPNs built in where you can hide your IP and you know and do all this stuff, but really you want to use a paid VPN service.

25:15.414 --> 25:22.969
[SPEAKER_03]: So you're connecting to a third party source, then connecting to the originator, which also has some sort of filtering and you know proactive security.

25:24.569 --> 25:25.030
[SPEAKER_02]: Perfect.

25:25.190 --> 25:25.751
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, thank you.

25:25.771 --> 25:41.778
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I, I, I'm getting to the point where I'm trying to be more careful and I know I just thought, well, you know, but if you're okay on there for like doing something like this, but just not don't be opening your bank accounts don't be doing anything that you don't want people stilling correct.

25:42.399 --> 25:49.311
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I just thought of something while we're talking here, we should create a new way of just ask Mike.

25:51.400 --> 25:56.265
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Mike, are you on our, are you on our, I'm on your content feed.

25:56.285 --> 26:01.350
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, they can select, you know, Gianni, Gene or Mike or all of us, or, you know, the guest.

26:01.990 --> 26:03.652
[SPEAKER_03]: So they can ask me questions, right?

26:03.672 --> 26:08.737
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll show you a few of all of this advice, but that's that's the idea.

26:08.977 --> 26:11.760
[SPEAKER_04]: You call my one nine hundred number, we'll work everything out.

26:11.780 --> 26:12.100
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

26:12.421 --> 26:15.383
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I mean, you've got valuable valuable information.

26:15.484 --> 26:20.108
[SPEAKER_02]: And I sure appreciate it because I, I tell you, I'm writing notes down as you're telling us.

26:20.408 --> 26:27.314
[SPEAKER_02]: So just because I, you know, nobody wants to get ripped off, and you tell it to us, nice and easy.

26:27.654 --> 26:32.739
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, some of the stuff you're talking about, I'm like, I don't know what that means, but a lot of it, I'm getting.

26:33.199 --> 26:35.141
[SPEAKER_02]: So thank you so much.

26:35.902 --> 26:39.745
[SPEAKER_03]: I try to keep it as much as Lamin's serves as possible, win possible.

26:40.206 --> 26:44.509
[SPEAKER_03]: But again, when I start talking about, you know, protocols and stuff like that, it just goes over people's head.

26:44.830 --> 26:45.610
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a different world.

26:46.691 --> 26:48.593
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'll try to keep

26:48.944 --> 26:49.866
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I love that.

26:50.046 --> 26:54.455
[SPEAKER_02]: I just something that, you know, like I said, I was really excited to see some questions come in.

26:54.535 --> 27:06.480
[SPEAKER_02]: I was looking through the The YouTube page and people, you know, we're popping up and asking questions and I thought, I'm glad, you know, number one, I'm glad people are listening to the show, but I'm also glad that

27:07.017 --> 27:16.755
[SPEAKER_02]: They're interested in the information that you, you are sharing with us because I think everybody has to be careful of what we're doing.

27:17.477 --> 27:23.929
[SPEAKER_02]: So, are there any new scams going around, anything new that people are falling for that you've noticed?

27:24.922 --> 27:42.610
[SPEAKER_03]: Right now the latest one is basically they're pretending to be like if you try to call for support like Microsoft and they'll pretend like they're going to give you a gift card reward or something and then they'll pretend that they overpay you and then you have to pay them back.

27:43.062 --> 27:51.200
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, that's like the latest thing, especially with the, uh, the older generation where they're like, oh, I had a credit for $300.

27:51.660 --> 27:57.493
[SPEAKER_03]: You sent me $500, now I have to get $200 and gift cards and then send them to this, you know, weird address.

27:57.625 --> 28:04.013
[SPEAKER_03]: So, again, it's, if you get an email from the IRS, the IRS is not going to send you an email.

28:04.253 --> 28:06.055
[SPEAKER_03]: They're going to send you a U.S. mail.

28:06.997 --> 28:14.446
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, if you have any sort of business entity, you know, all your business entities are going to contact you through direct mail.

28:14.506 --> 28:17.950
[SPEAKER_03]: They're not going to email you unless you sign up for an account with them.

28:17.990 --> 28:19.953
[SPEAKER_03]: And it'll be mostly account related information.

28:20.533 --> 28:24.358
[SPEAKER_03]: But you know, the IRS is not, you know, if they want to come talk to you, they're come to your door.

28:24.338 --> 28:36.053
[SPEAKER_03]: Or they're going to send you registered mail in the, you know, that's really the only way you're not going to get an email from the IRS saying you owe us $10,000 click here to pay now that money is not going to go to them.

28:36.794 --> 28:37.215
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

28:37.495 --> 28:48.810
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, always go to the source website if you have questions.

28:49.432 --> 28:51.976
[SPEAKER_02]: like I said with my son was getting married.

28:52.277 --> 28:57.605
[SPEAKER_02]: I saw a lot of great looking clothes online and I thought I just don't dare anymore.

28:57.925 --> 28:59.788
[SPEAKER_02]: I just don't dare click on anything.

28:59.849 --> 29:07.120
[SPEAKER_02]: So I know you said cardio What was the name to some of those other ones are Nick here and that's your armor?

29:07.589 --> 29:11.879
[SPEAKER_03]: But that's if you have a net here, then that's, you know, built into that platform.

29:11.899 --> 29:13.242
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, net net in here.

29:13.302 --> 29:13.583
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

29:13.944 --> 29:14.104
[SPEAKER_02]: Here.

29:14.405 --> 29:14.846
[SPEAKER_02]: Got it.

29:14.866 --> 29:15.527
[SPEAKER_03]: I know that.

29:15.547 --> 29:20.539
[SPEAKER_03]: ATT has armor through them to armor is the the brand and it's piggybacked on different platforms.

29:21.201 --> 29:23.045
[SPEAKER_03]: So there's tons of different options out there.

29:23.867 --> 29:24.889
[SPEAKER_03]: Really, you know,

29:25.645 --> 29:27.987
[SPEAKER_03]: You got to protect yourself with two-factor authentication.

29:28.608 --> 29:34.273
[SPEAKER_03]: So anytime you make a purchase, any time you do anything online, it's going to send your phone a text message that you have to enter a number.

29:34.754 --> 29:36.876
[SPEAKER_03]: That's going to be the safest way to prevent you from fraud.

29:37.396 --> 29:41.760
[SPEAKER_03]: And like we talked about last month, try not to use your debit card for anything.

29:42.561 --> 29:47.186
[SPEAKER_03]: Either get a prepaid card, use an Apple card, use a card that's protected, or use PayPal.

29:47.706 --> 29:49.728
[SPEAKER_03]: So it doesn't reveal your credit card number.

29:49.788 --> 29:52.851
[SPEAKER_03]: And if you have to use credit cards, always tap,

29:52.831 --> 29:56.495
[SPEAKER_03]: and try to use an actual credit card that's not issued by your bank.

29:56.555 --> 30:00.619
[SPEAKER_03]: It's issued by a third party like Chase or, you know, one of the many out there.

30:01.199 --> 30:08.767
[SPEAKER_03]: So, um, but again, you know, there's only so much you can do because you're, you know, you're going to get caught off guard or you're going to be tired.

30:08.787 --> 30:10.869
[SPEAKER_03]: You're going to be on a long road trip and you're not going to pay attention.

30:11.269 --> 30:13.151
[SPEAKER_03]: You're going to swipe your card and they got you.

30:13.772 --> 30:18.957
[SPEAKER_03]: So, just, you know, be vigilant and check for the warning signs, you know, see if you can

30:18.937 --> 30:34.617
[SPEAKER_03]: off of if it's just stuck up there and see if it's coming off on glue and you can pry the reader off and it reveals the actual reader behind it because even with ATMs or gas station pumps and all that stuff, all those are hardened into the system.

30:34.597 --> 30:41.864
[SPEAKER_03]: So if you're able to price something off of it, it's not that it wasn't made well, it's that that's a scammer device and that's trying to steal your information.

30:41.884 --> 30:47.769
[SPEAKER_03]: And most likely because of the proximity, you know, most of them are probably using 4G so they're just sending it off in the cloud.

30:48.310 --> 30:59.040
[SPEAKER_03]: But back in the day, we didn't have the 4G speeds and there was a guy sitting in a car, not more than 20 feet away, just with a laptop gathering all that information as people were swiping.

30:59.441 --> 31:04.165
[SPEAKER_03]: And then they set up a separate little camera so they can look at the pin pad and capture your

31:04.769 --> 31:05.150
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow.

31:05.610 --> 31:07.633
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, it's gotten a lot more advanced now.

31:07.773 --> 31:11.459
[SPEAKER_03]: And, you know, I just saw last night, they have a device.

31:12.520 --> 31:16.346
[SPEAKER_03]: Basically it looks like a, um, oh, how to describe it.

31:16.486 --> 31:19.530
[SPEAKER_03]: Just a big silver box with about 20 antennas on top.

31:19.550 --> 31:21.253
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's called like an ultra jammer.

31:22.114 --> 31:26.601
[SPEAKER_03]: And thieves and criminals can use this device and literally take it anywhere.

31:26.921 --> 31:29.545
[SPEAKER_03]: It shuts down everything that sends a signal.

31:30.082 --> 31:39.284
[SPEAKER_03]: So your cameras, any sort of internet, it's anything in proximity of this device, it just wipes it out, a signal, and there are legal Jews.

31:40.207 --> 31:46.943
[SPEAKER_04]: When a device like that wouldn't a local police also get scammed by it, zoom in on it.

31:47.547 --> 32:04.568
[SPEAKER_03]: So again, you would have to have something in place that tells you there's a disruption in the service and then it flags authorities to go look at that, but, you know, the military has had this tech for a while because when they go, you know, we go to wars and stuff, we want to do a blackout so they can't, you know, send a social media.

32:05.208 --> 32:11.496
[SPEAKER_03]: But now they have, you know, people are smart, people are engineers, they make it themselves, you can get the, you know, instructions online.

32:11.915 --> 32:17.003
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know, you can literally have a singing in your car and wherever you drive, you're just oblivious.

32:17.384 --> 32:23.835
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's, it blocks out everything, including, you know, stop like cameras, all that stuff like it's ridiculous.

32:23.855 --> 32:30.726
[SPEAKER_03]: And they even have a technology now with the zipper where you can basically change lights to green lights, which is super illegal.

32:30.966 --> 32:31.307
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

32:31.844 --> 32:32.645
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

32:32.665 --> 32:45.442
[SPEAKER_02]: So Mike, is that something once say someone's driving through your neighborhood, you know, they got a band of people running in and ripping off houses, they turned that jammer on, no one's in the house for help.

32:45.462 --> 32:47.485
[SPEAKER_02]: And then there's no cameras, no anything else.

32:47.765 --> 32:49.688
[SPEAKER_03]: So let's have a landline phone.

32:49.708 --> 32:49.968
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

32:50.068 --> 32:52.131
[SPEAKER_02]: So then when they leave the area,

32:53.242 --> 32:55.888
[SPEAKER_02]: Does, does, does, does it, does it fry you stuff forever?

32:56.008 --> 32:59.076
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, it doesn't fry, it just, it just, it just rubs it.

32:59.096 --> 33:02.864
[SPEAKER_03]: So the second day leave the proximity, everything comes back online like nothing happened.

33:04.428 --> 33:04.749
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.

33:05.310 --> 33:06.914
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

33:06.934 --> 33:09.059
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's, we're getting into scary times.

33:09.520 --> 33:12.246
[SPEAKER_03]: And again, anything that can be done can be undone.

33:12.715 --> 33:32.799
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I know that, you know, Google and Apple have done a great job on their security platforms and they have all kinds of intrusion detection and stuff like that and they have people monitoring 24.7, you know, and they're doing a good job, but with it, you know, with anything that's electronic, it can, you know, it can be intercepted, you know, it just takes time and patience and the right technology.

33:34.562 --> 33:39.027
[SPEAKER_03]: You have a super computer at your fingertips encryption doesn't exist.

33:41.977 --> 33:50.611
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, like, you know, anyone that has a super computer all these schools, colleges, and stuff, and certain, and all these big things.

33:51.012 --> 33:56.080
[SPEAKER_03]: If you use that, that's super computer for a singular purpose, there's no door you can't open.

33:56.781 --> 34:01.689
[SPEAKER_03]: The computer will figure it out, and especially with AI introduced into that super computer.

34:02.992 --> 34:04.234
[SPEAKER_03]: You're basically the world's your oyster.

34:05.095 --> 34:07.579
[SPEAKER_02]: So you know.

34:07.762 --> 34:13.957
[SPEAKER_02]: These are brilliant people coming up with, I hope they have gazillions of dollars, you know what I mean?

34:13.977 --> 34:17.586
[SPEAKER_02]: Only because I hope they get caught.

34:17.947 --> 34:22.378
[SPEAKER_02]: But I just think, these are people who, if they were doing something legal,

34:22.747 --> 34:36.767
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know that maybe they wouldn't make the kind of money they make when you rip people off, but I'm digging these are smart people and they're risking their everything being crooks and thieves and, you know, so smart people are smart.

34:37.468 --> 34:40.432
[SPEAKER_04]: They create of their own idea.

34:40.773 --> 34:43.877
[SPEAKER_04]: So they steal yours and use yours.

34:44.684 --> 34:45.605
[SPEAKER_04]: That's all it's about.

34:46.026 --> 34:55.496
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, Chad Gpt, just or the owner of OpenAI, just a really sustainment, basically saying, you know, we are getting to a point where it's getting dangerous.

34:55.797 --> 35:00.422
[SPEAKER_03]: And if you use it for the wrong, you know, the wrong purpose, it's gonna, you know, bite you in the ass.

35:01.443 --> 35:06.529
[SPEAKER_03]: The owner of Enthropic, because OpenAI said he wouldn't give his technology to the military.

35:06.609 --> 35:07.711
[SPEAKER_03]: He's like, it's too powerful.

35:08.071 --> 35:11.135
[SPEAKER_03]: You guys won't know what to do with it and it'll take over your military.

35:11.155 --> 35:13.257
[SPEAKER_03]: We're not gonna do that, because then we're gonna be in Terminator days.

35:13.928 --> 35:18.713
[SPEAKER_03]: Andthropic, another competitor of OpenAI is like, sure, you want to pay us billions of dollars.

35:18.933 --> 35:21.596
[SPEAKER_03]: Here you go, but it comes with a warning.

35:22.577 --> 35:29.644
[SPEAKER_03]: And that warning was basically know what you're doing because you're opening this up to essentially end of days kind of scenario.

35:30.205 --> 35:41.877
[SPEAKER_03]: So keep all your missile silos, your nuclear missile silos on lock and key with two man control, make sure that you have all your codes even with the president and the nuclear football.

35:42.059 --> 35:45.965
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, the codes change every X amount of time and all that stuff.

35:46.585 --> 35:55.298
[SPEAKER_03]: And again, they want verbal command, but now you can fake voice, you can fake codes, you know, compute if AI wanted to, it could start a nuclear war.

35:55.338 --> 35:56.399
[SPEAKER_03]: We all seen war games.

35:56.720 --> 35:58.062
[SPEAKER_03]: We've seen in the Terminator series.

35:58.562 --> 36:01.507
[SPEAKER_03]: We know we're basically fulfilling our own prophecies.

36:02.208 --> 36:04.170
[SPEAKER_03]: So we just hope we don't let it get to that.

36:04.992 --> 36:05.612
[SPEAKER_03]: That's scary.

36:06.574 --> 36:07.155
[SPEAKER_02]: It is scary.

36:07.175 --> 36:08.877
[SPEAKER_04]: I have to so much of this stuff.

36:09.312 --> 36:14.906
[SPEAKER_02]: time for another commercial so we could go ahead and do another quick commercial and then we'll finish up the show.

36:15.408 --> 36:19.137
[SPEAKER_04]: Well again the only commercial I want to do is promote our book.

36:19.218 --> 36:22.101
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's all book and that's mafia secrets.

36:22.261 --> 36:23.243
[SPEAKER_04]: It's on Amazon.

36:23.723 --> 36:32.213
[SPEAKER_04]: I have a lot of new dates coming up, but it's too early to submit them because there are weeks and events that I hate doing that.

36:32.813 --> 36:45.107
[SPEAKER_04]: But I just feel so grateful every time my cousin helping Genie and I solve some of your problems, so keep sending the cards and letters coming in.

36:45.087 --> 36:47.511
[SPEAKER_04]: Because that's where the intelligence is.

36:47.572 --> 36:51.579
[SPEAKER_04]: It's Mike, who we're referring to all the time.

36:52.020 --> 36:54.284
[SPEAKER_04]: Now he's a real person.

36:55.907 --> 37:07.348
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, Mike, Mike, you know, just to tell everybody, I opened up our latest podcast with, I think it was the one with Alan.

37:07.835 --> 37:29.794
[SPEAKER_02]: Saw our new graphics and stuff and heard that new song and every time I've got a friend that is a that just very loyal listener, and so he comes in and says All of that new song it's great and I mean, I felt for it the first time, but Mike is the one who puts all those great graphics on there.

37:30.094 --> 37:31.235
[SPEAKER_02]: He is so talented.

37:31.455 --> 37:37.200
[SPEAKER_02]: He's come up with our theme songs that have been fantastic, but those are through AI, right?

37:37.653 --> 37:44.020
[SPEAKER_03]: everything through AI, taking advantage of the tools that are available, you know, you use the power for good or use it for evil.

37:44.421 --> 37:46.063
[SPEAKER_03]: I do it for a pat of path of light.

37:46.643 --> 37:48.946
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, all of our new stuff is amazing.

37:49.146 --> 38:00.259
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's night and day over what we used to do because for the first, you know, 10, 15, you know, seasons we were doing, I was pulling different songs that, you know, Gianni had and stuff that we had licensing for.

38:00.899 --> 38:05.044
[SPEAKER_03]: And then once Suno got released, it opened up a

38:05.024 --> 38:12.511
[SPEAKER_03]: and then I did last season we did that first song and it was so catchy it sounded so good and we were getting all kinds of interest like who's saying that?

38:12.992 --> 38:14.113
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I'm Peter saying that.

38:14.513 --> 38:14.914
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

38:14.934 --> 38:18.397
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, you know, people eventually on the street who's doing you music?

38:22.141 --> 38:27.926
[SPEAKER_02]: I have a friend that just produced an album and I called him and I'm like, is that you singing any ghost?

38:27.946 --> 38:28.307
[SPEAKER_02]: No?

38:28.847 --> 38:32.871
[SPEAKER_02]: And I said, is that a picture you wipe on the cover and he said,

38:33.408 --> 38:38.673
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's, you just, I mean, AI, it's incredible, but you gotta know what you're doing.

38:39.133 --> 38:42.656
[SPEAKER_02]: And obviously, you've got it down, but it's fun to play with.

38:43.317 --> 38:44.017
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah.

38:44.077 --> 38:49.222
[SPEAKER_04]: People have a hit right now on major music networks.

38:49.402 --> 38:50.083
[SPEAKER_04]: It's all AI.

38:51.124 --> 38:51.564
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

38:52.204 --> 38:52.685
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.

38:53.466 --> 39:01.913
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, people are actually creating entire albums and like faux bands uploading it to Spotify and Apple and then just collecting royalties.

39:02.146 --> 39:04.109
[SPEAKER_03]: know, I have a few of those as well.

39:04.710 --> 39:05.191
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

39:05.211 --> 39:06.193
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it's just crazy.

39:06.573 --> 39:08.777
[SPEAKER_04]: As long as you have following, they're going to take it.

39:09.198 --> 39:09.779
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

39:09.799 --> 39:15.448
[SPEAKER_04]: And they create their own your following and their own fan base and Joel, oh, a myth.

39:16.169 --> 39:22.500
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, pretty much like I had one of my very first bands least 30 years ago dating myself.

39:22.480 --> 39:28.927
[SPEAKER_03]: All of our recordings were old recordings when audio recording technology was just coming to computers.

39:29.508 --> 39:37.897
[SPEAKER_03]: I was able to take our entire catalog run it through AI and generate an entirely new album that sounds like it was made today.

39:38.437 --> 39:43.242
[SPEAKER_03]: And it doesn't necessarily have our voices, but it has our playing style.

39:43.603 --> 39:52.352
[SPEAKER_03]: It has our nuances, the guitars are almost exactly what we played, but professional and better.

39:52.332 --> 39:58.484
[SPEAKER_03]: and just be able to re-invision that into a new audience and a new generation is just incredible.

39:59.886 --> 40:06.118
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, I mean, you look at TikTok and you look at all these different, I mean, it's amazing what you can do.

40:06.519 --> 40:14.374
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's not as easy as it seems, AI can do incredible things, but you've got to tell it what to do.

40:14.675 --> 40:20.641
[SPEAKER_02]: And I did, I showed my friend a picture, I'm like, oh, Mike can make me a good look at his picture.

40:20.661 --> 40:21.863
[SPEAKER_02]: And she's like, that's great.

40:21.883 --> 40:24.465
[SPEAKER_02]: And I said, I swear we can do that in real life.

40:24.946 --> 40:29.290
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, we're going to doll me up, but it's such a gift.

40:29.511 --> 40:33.255
[SPEAKER_02]: And it sounds easy until you try and do it.

40:33.875 --> 40:37.299
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know you're professional at what you're doing.

40:37.339 --> 40:39.141
[SPEAKER_02]: And you're making everything look so good.

40:39.201 --> 40:41.323
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know we've given you some challenges.

40:41.607 --> 40:46.873
[SPEAKER_02]: The number one, and I just was like, I finally was just like, screw it.

40:46.893 --> 40:49.075
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't, I don't even know what you is, Bobby.

40:49.095 --> 40:52.259
[SPEAKER_02]: Then, uh, they get through any, that one.

40:52.639 --> 41:01.048
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I thought I had turned off all the bells and whistles on my phone, my green door bell stolen off, the phone would ring and it knocked the recording off.

41:01.068 --> 41:07.435
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, Mike is going to drive to Utah and stab me and it's down amazing.

41:07.635 --> 41:10.939
[SPEAKER_03]: So thank you and I would never drive to Utah.

41:13.096 --> 41:14.898
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know what you're talking about myself.

41:15.299 --> 41:25.192
[SPEAKER_02]: Gianni, when you and I were trying to do the Bobby Vitton recording, when we were recording that day, like my ring door bell started making noise.

41:25.352 --> 41:27.955
[SPEAKER_03]: Or I didn't see any of that because I edited it all out.

41:28.236 --> 41:29.537
[SPEAKER_02]: I know.

41:29.557 --> 41:29.998
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

41:30.599 --> 41:36.126
[SPEAKER_02]: Just all the interruption because my phone kept going off and I thought that happened, Mike.

41:38.209 --> 41:39.450
[SPEAKER_03]: She's got to turn her ring off.

41:39.510 --> 41:39.891
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

41:39.911 --> 41:40.892
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I did.

41:41.108 --> 41:58.790
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't turn it off, but I have, but and then every time something would happen, it would kick off the recording that we had to to talking between and so then I'd have to go back and find the spot and I was just like, oh, when you were doing the playback from your phone, correct?

41:59.130 --> 42:02.314
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I would, yeah, I was, I wasn't planning on doing that.

42:02.354 --> 42:03.655
[SPEAKER_02]: Number one or I would have made it.

42:03.675 --> 42:09.883
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, again, our audience didn't see that because it was our, it's you are incredible and thank you.

42:10.268 --> 42:11.229
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's so funny.

42:11.249 --> 42:19.717
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, again, I've been an early adopter of AI and even with technology, when the internet came out, I ordered the VHS tape from CNET to learn about the internet.

42:20.197 --> 42:23.040
[SPEAKER_03]: And this was, I want to say 95, but I can't be sure.

42:23.060 --> 42:26.423
[SPEAKER_03]: I was in line for the iPhone 1 and 2.

42:27.104 --> 42:37.474
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm always there at, when technology comes out and I know it's going to change history, and that's why I basically base my whole business model after all these things, because people don't understand them.

42:37.454 --> 42:46.448
[SPEAKER_03]: you know, and I'm able to, you know, observe and learn and, you know, just use it to my advantage and I can benefit from it and then in return, my customer has benefited as well.

42:46.728 --> 42:54.400
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, it's just taking something and seeing how can I, you know, build a better mouse trap or offer this, like when I started web development.

42:54.380 --> 43:07.536
[SPEAKER_03]: I saw the websites that were online and ever garbage and then I started making these interactive flash websites with all this animation and people were like, Oh, that's the greatest thing ever, you know, and sure enough, you know, it was until Apple decided to get a flash.

43:08.037 --> 43:14.785
[SPEAKER_04]: So, no, I mean, what you've done for us, I mean, I would have left, well, you know, I would have left the business.

43:16.688 --> 43:17.650
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know nothing.

43:17.730 --> 43:19.916
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, to me, I get so confused for getting about it.

43:20.176 --> 43:31.382
[SPEAKER_03]: But anyway, well, if anyone has the opportunity to see Gianni Rousseau live, come check out the live show, the multimedia presentation that's in the company with it was all done by both of us, and it's absolutely amazing.

43:31.523 --> 43:32.505
[SPEAKER_03]: So do not miss that.

43:32.585 --> 43:34.309
[SPEAKER_03]: Once in a lifetime opportunity.

43:35.032 --> 43:52.053
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, thank you for saying that because I've got a couple questions and and that was with what one of the questions said can you give us a description of a little bit of what your shows about and do you ever fill in the show because they can't get to one.

43:52.894 --> 43:54.596
[SPEAKER_04]: Who's who's writing this stuff.

43:55.136 --> 43:55.657
[SPEAKER_04]: We should.

43:55.677 --> 43:56.398
[SPEAKER_04]: Nice them.

43:56.598 --> 44:04.856
[SPEAKER_02]: This was Marlin in Toronto and he just asked could you give us a description, I'll never be able to make it out to one of your shows.

44:05.236 --> 44:07.160
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you ever film your shows?

44:08.243 --> 44:11.490
[SPEAKER_04]: No, because people would get it and sell it.

44:11.510 --> 44:13.594
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and not go.

44:14.165 --> 44:27.485
[SPEAKER_03]: So maybe in the future, if Netflix has the right offer, then maybe a, you know, on demand kind of a show for that, but right now, because he's still performing actively live, you have to go out and see the live show.

44:27.505 --> 44:31.411
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I just, we just need to get a move in this direction.

44:32.292 --> 44:33.514
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll get him on the west coast again.

44:34.075 --> 44:36.058
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he keeps his toe on the water every once in a while.

44:36.558 --> 44:39.042
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, you know, we need to get a hold of Bob.

44:39.848 --> 44:46.120
[SPEAKER_02]: Hot mics and tell him to set up now about this direction so he's got a lot of connections in Vegas.

44:46.180 --> 44:47.463
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure you can make some stuff happen.

44:47.823 --> 44:51.050
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think Gianni probably knows a person or two.

44:51.090 --> 44:52.051
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, exactly.

44:52.572 --> 44:57.923
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, like he said, he's got their home numbers.

45:00.347 --> 45:01.510
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, that's true.

45:01.790 --> 45:02.211
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

45:03.035 --> 45:04.797
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I want to thank the lady first.

45:05.038 --> 45:06.700
[SPEAKER_04]: Obviously she's here every week.

45:06.720 --> 45:08.182
[SPEAKER_04]: Mike is Whitney every day.

45:08.262 --> 45:17.695
[SPEAKER_04]: This guy, I seriously don't wait, we just, but without Mike as knowing what he does, I would've loved his business 20 years ago.

45:19.358 --> 45:25.907
[SPEAKER_03]: Which is funny too, because when I was younger, I used to think like maybe ignorance is bliss and I should just pretend to be stupid.

45:26.007 --> 45:31.995
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think I followed that through middle school because when I showed my intelligence, I was always ostracized.

45:32.144 --> 45:39.794
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, when you're a kid, no one wants to think your smarter, like, if I was going to college and I raised my hand and try to correct the teacher, oh, apparently they hate that.

45:40.535 --> 45:51.749
[SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, Santa Barbara City, I do not have good recommendations for any of the teachers there because I tried to correct all of them and I was trying to be an active member, you know, I'm like, what you're teaching is outdated and incorrect.

45:52.610 --> 45:56.835
[SPEAKER_03]: You sit down and shut up and one teacher told me not to come back until the final.

45:56.984 --> 45:59.728
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, like Peter science teacher, I came back on the final.

45:59.768 --> 46:01.430
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a two hour test.

46:01.450 --> 46:06.136
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm done in 20 minutes and I walk out and everyone's still looking at me going, who the hell is that guy?

46:06.156 --> 46:07.978
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm just like, how you do.

46:08.439 --> 46:11.403
[SPEAKER_03]: And I walked home and drove back to Los Angeles.

46:11.743 --> 46:14.747
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, no, it's an unfortunate.

46:14.847 --> 46:18.472
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm about trying to brag or boast, but at the same time, I've been dealing with this my whole life.

46:18.812 --> 46:21.977
[SPEAKER_03]: It's the same reason why I started wearing glasses, even though they are prescription now.

46:22.637 --> 46:26.923
[SPEAKER_03]: But I wanted to, I wanted to, you know, create a persona for myself where,

46:27.190 --> 46:32.958
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, unless you find the right click, if you're not the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.

46:33.619 --> 46:34.921
[SPEAKER_03]: And I wasn't finding the right room.

46:35.242 --> 46:39.248
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I would hang out with all kinds of different people to see where I fit in.

46:39.408 --> 46:42.833
[SPEAKER_03]: I hung out with gang members and drug dealers and all these bad people.

46:42.913 --> 46:43.494
[SPEAKER_03]: It was horrible.

46:44.155 --> 46:49.823
[SPEAKER_03]: And it wasn't until I had a gun pulled on me that I'm like, maybe I shouldn't hang out with these people anymore.

46:49.803 --> 47:04.288
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so then I'm like, okay, let's switch focus and then, you know, try to new group of people and then that's where I found music in my bands and all that other stuff and I'm like, hey, I like you people you guys are all right, you know, you know some of them are alcoholics, but that's okay.

47:04.308 --> 47:12.823
[SPEAKER_03]: I can deal with that, but you know what we get through the day and we try to do our best and we're all here on this big blue marble doing what we can so let's just make the best of it.

47:13.175 --> 47:15.719
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, thank you, Cheney, thank you.

47:15.739 --> 47:19.765
[SPEAKER_04]: Mike, always, and we'll see you again next week.

47:20.166 --> 47:21.027
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you so much.

47:21.047 --> 47:22.570
[SPEAKER_04]: What's the month we promised you that?

47:23.030 --> 47:25.995
[SPEAKER_04]: Send the cards and letters, especially for Mike.

47:26.035 --> 47:27.237
[SPEAKER_04]: Any question?

47:27.317 --> 47:28.739
[SPEAKER_04]: He'll answer the question, believe me.

47:28.759 --> 47:30.522
[SPEAKER_04]: And if he can't, he'll tell you how to do it.

47:30.843 --> 47:32.585
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, no gift cards though, because that's a scam.

47:33.146 --> 47:33.967
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

47:34.108 --> 47:36.471
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, everyone, good night.

47:36.511 --> 47:37.773
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much.

47:37.793 --> 47:38.354
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you, guys.

47:38.414 --> 47:39.416
[SPEAKER_03]: Have a great one, take care.

47:39.897 --> 47:40.758
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you, thank you.

47:40.798 --> 47:41.359
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.

47:50.384 --> 47:55.071
[SPEAKER_06]: Roll the lights, hit the scene, a legend works in stride.

47:56.413 --> 48:01.500
[SPEAKER_06]: Gianni's got the stories from the coast of countryside.

48:02.101 --> 48:08.050
[SPEAKER_06]: Gianni's got the questions, sharp ass and nitrous sway.

48:08.070 --> 48:12.416
[SPEAKER_06]: Everyone's day night, we take you all the way.

48:13.037 --> 48:18.265
[SPEAKER_06]: From the back streets of Tinseltown, to the trip to Ria's Globe.

48:18.717 --> 48:30.111
[SPEAKER_06]: Old Hollywood meets my fear tells and you're about to know It's the Hollywood Godfather Where the big damn place and the stories don't stop
