SPEAKER_4 (0:12)

Hey, dude, hey, does the red light there really help your fucking eyes?

Bert Kreischer (0:15)

100%.

SPEAKER_4 (0:16)

I'm doing it.

Bert Kreischer (0:16)

Are we rolling? Yeah.

SPEAKER_4 (0:18)

My eyes are so fucked.

Bert Kreischer (0:19)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_4 (0:19)

I can't see Joe.

Bert Kreischer (0:20)

Get one of the Gary Brekka beds for your house. Well, there's a bunch of companies that sell them, but you want like a really powerful red light bed? I did it this morning. Dude, it changed my vision.

SPEAKER_4 (0:30)

When I'm in the shower, I can't read shampoo, bath gel. I'm like, dude, why do they need to be small? Can't you just make it big as fuck so everyone can see it? They're not that small. I can't see them. And then I'm getting out naked, putting on readers to see what I'm fucking... I've washed my hair with conditioner so many times.

Bert Kreischer (0:51)

Yeah. Mine was getting bad. Mine was getting where I needed these fucking things, which I haven't picked up in months.

SPEAKER_4 (0:57)

I heard you say that.

Bert Kreischer (0:58)

Yeah. It changed my life.

SPEAKER_4 (1:00)

I went to Waste Well the other day, and I did the red light bed every day, every day, until I Googled how much it costs. That thing's fucking expensive.

Bert Kreischer (1:06)

It's expensive, the real one. But Whitney got one that's not that expensive, and it's fixed her eyes. She got one that she sits in front of every day for like 20 minutes or something like that.

SPEAKER_4 (1:15)

I love that.

Bert Kreischer (1:16)

Oh, dude, it's amazing. But the big ones, the beds, they help your whole body recover.

Let's put that into perplexity and say, what is the benefits of powerful red light therapy? I fucking, I use AI so much now. I was in the beginning, I was resisting it so much. Then perplexity came on as a sponsor. And now, instead of searching things online, I just ask the phone. I just pull up the app and ask it a question. I don't have to type anything. And then it gives me an answer. And then I could say, well, what's the benefits of it? And then it'll list out the benefits. And then I'll say, what are the cons? And then it'll list out the cons. Like is there, you know, are there any people that disagree with this?

SPEAKER_4 (2:00)

Perplexity?

Bert Kreischer (2:01)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_4 (2:01)

So I got one. My questions are always like, they're always more like about me. So I...

Bert Kreischer (2:15)

Why do you look yourself up?

SPEAKER_4 (2:17)

No, no, not about no, but no, I don't look myself up. It's about like, Your health? No, my health or my experience in life. So like, I was the other day, I was in bed, I was like, all right, I think my generation had the greatest run. Like out of all the generations around, my generation, Gen X, had the greatest run. We got great childhoods, right? We got to experience cell phones. We got to be impressed by the cell phone.

We had 9-11, which wasn't great, but it was a time when the country healed, right? Everyone wants a big tragedy, like the JFK shooting. You want that moment where you walk by a bar and they're like, what are you doing? And you're like, you haven't heard? We got one of those. We had the pandemic, which is insane. We had our music probably better. We had rock. I mean, just the internet took off, so we got to experience that. I think my generation, GenX is yours too, right?

Bert Kreischer (3:09)

Yeah, I'm GenX.

SPEAKER_4 (3:10)

So I asked that to chat GBT and I was wrong.

Bert Kreischer (3:13)

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_4 (3:14)

The greatest generation is actually labeled the greatest generation. It's my grandmother, your grandmother. They experienced horse and buggy. They then went, they saw cars. They saw television. All within the time they had horse and buggy, they saw people land on the moon. I mean, all that shit, telephones.

Who got fucked with the baby boomers? They were just old enough to not understand cell phones. Like they got fucked. Millennials got fucked. Millennials got real fucked.

Bert Kreischer (3:44)

Yeah, I don't know about the greatest generation. I think you're correct. I think the passage of the internet, like the internet going through our lives and cell phones. Like I experienced VHS tapes first.

Then I experienced answering machines. That was a big one. Caller ID. You know who's calling you. You can just duck people. That was crazy.
