Neil Santino, my man!
SPEAKER_4 (0:15)
Mr. Rogan, it's been a long time, I'm back.
Andrew Santino (0:17)
When was the last time you were here?
SPEAKER_4 (0:18)
It's got to be over a year.
SPEAKER_5 (0:19)
Is that real?
SPEAKER_4 (0:20)
Two years?
SPEAKER_5 (0:21)
Geez, bro.
SPEAKER_4 (0:22)
Yeah, it's got to be.
SPEAKER_5 (0:24)
Time waits for no one.
SPEAKER_4 (0:25)
I know, man. You left me high and dry in Los Angeles, and two years later, I come back down.
SPEAKER_5 (0:29)
I had to go big dog. I had to go, had to go. You're going to go eventually. You can't hang in there. Eventually, it'll just get to be Mad Max, and you'll just go, I can't, I can't, I can't. When Newsom becomes president and Kamala Harris becomes governor, and then it's like full communist.
SPEAKER_4 (0:44)
You don't think he's going to become president. You do?
SPEAKER_5 (0:48)
He could win.
SPEAKER_4 (0:49)
No.
SPEAKER_5 (0:49)
Yep, he could win. Yeah.
SPEAKER_4 (0:51)
No, because I think he's one of those guys that-
SPEAKER_5 (0:52)
She almost won.
SPEAKER_4 (0:54)
Yeah.
SPEAKER_5 (0:54)
He's better than her.
SPEAKER_4 (0:56)
You think people would like him more? Really?
SPEAKER_5 (0:58)
No, he's better at her and talking. He's better at talking. Like the whole thing is not like who's a better government. Look, the guy who was the fucking host of The Apprentice is the president of the United States for the second time.
Andrew Santino (1:10)
Like this doesn't-
SPEAKER_4 (1:11)
I'm back, baby.
SPEAKER_5 (1:12)
And nothing makes any sense.
SPEAKER_4 (1:13)
No, it doesn't.
SPEAKER_5 (1:14)
So it's like the system is like, it's a goofy system. It's a popularity contest to see who controls the nukes.
SPEAKER_4 (1:21)
Right.
SPEAKER_5 (1:21)
It makes no sense.
SPEAKER_4 (1:22)
Who controls the nukes? I just feel like lefties and righties don't like him.
SPEAKER_5 (1:25)
You're right.
SPEAKER_4 (1:25)
Both people don't like him.
SPEAKER_5 (1:26)
But there's no choices other than him on the left. And the people on the left are only going to vote on the left. And that's it. Unless some Mamdani guy comes out of the left field and says...
SPEAKER_4 (1:37)
Is that the New York guy?
SPEAKER_5 (1:38)
Yeah.
SPEAKER_4 (1:39)
That's so funny.
SPEAKER_5 (1:40)
He's going to win.
Andrew Santino (1:42)
He's going to win.
SPEAKER_4 (1:44)
The Mamdani guy. What was his policy? What did he run on?
SPEAKER_5 (1:47)
Oh, he ran on everything. Rent control, stabilized rent. He's going to tax the rich people way more than before. Businesses are going to run out of that place like it's on fire. Yeah. It's interesting.
SPEAKER_4 (1:59)
Cheers to Manhattan.
SPEAKER_5 (2:02)
Look, the thing is, maybe what he wants to do is going to coincide with AI and automation, which is going to be, you're going to have to have someone who has at least some sort of, not pure socialism, but at the very least universal basic income, like the ideas that they want to implement. Because if you don't, you're going to have chaos. You're going to have all jobs are going to, essentially, most jobs are on the chopping block. Right now, if you think about it, the amount of jobs that a robot with AI can't do are so little. They're so little. They're making great songs now. Have you heard the 50 Cent song, the Many Men song?
SPEAKER_4 (2:46)
I've heard the band. There's a band that's got like 4 million streams a month on Spotify and it's all AI.
SPEAKER_5 (2:53)
Oh, there's a bunch of those.
SPEAKER_4 (2:54)
It's so trippy.
SPEAKER_5 (2:55)
They made this girl who was an AI, like a fucking, what would you call that kind of music? You know that gal that they made that was, we played a little bit of it on the podcast. She's like kind of emo.
SPEAKER_7 (3:09)
I'm not remembering.
SPEAKER_5 (3:11)
Anyway, they made her in about a minute and then they made the song in about another minute. It was great.
I was listening to it. I was like, this is a good fucking song.
SPEAKER_4 (3:20)
It sucks that I like it. I was listening to it and be like, dude, this is really good.
SPEAKER_5 (3:24)
You haven't heard the Many Men version, the AI version of Many Men?
SPEAKER_4 (3:28)
No.
SPEAKER_5 (3:28)
Okay. AI did a cover of 50 Cent's Many Men.
SPEAKER_4 (3:33)
Love that song.
SPEAKER_5 (3:34)
Wait till you hear the AI version.
