My big problem with all these things is there's always going to be extreme examples where this is a great thing. Like I said, if that Waymo stopped the school shooting, amazing.

**Anthony Pompliano** (1:04)
The Waymo would be the hero.

**Kevin Clancy** (1:06)
Amazing. But are we going to like, that's the 0.01% of life and the other 99 is now going to be surveilled and I just don't like that.

**Anthony Pompliano** (1:16)
What's going on guys? Today we got a great conversation with Kevin Clancy, better known as KFC from Barstool. In this conversation, we are going to go deep into what the heck is going on with all this new technology and how it is going to impact your lives. And we get super weird. We talk about Waymo and how it may have helped get some kids arrested. We also talk about flock cameras, ring cameras and how everywhere we see cameras infiltrating our lives and what the impact is. And then we get into some of the really weird technology that is starting to be used on a daily basis. I think you will find it fascinating that both he and I have very unique thoughts on how this technology, what's good about it, what's bad about it, and how it is going to possibly negatively affect you. All that much more in this conversation with KFC.
All right, KFC, you are here to help me understand one thing, which is the every man experience with technology is about to get very fucking weird.

**Kevin Clancy** (2:02)
It's about one of the only things I can help explain to people is the every man experience, because that's just what I am.

**Anthony Pompliano** (2:06)
That's just what you are. All right, let's talk first about Waymo. So everyone's really excited about self-driving cars, but there's a story recently that there's two 15-year-old boys out in California. They were driving around in the Waymo, or being driven in the Waymo, and they had like a paintball gun, essentially, and they were drinking. So underage drinking, and they were shooting people out of the windows.

**Kevin Clancy** (2:26)
Guns.

**Anthony Pompliano** (2:26)
America, baby.

**Kevin Clancy** (2:27)
I don't see... So where is the problem? What's the story?

**Anthony Pompliano** (2:30)
They didn't see a problem, obviously.
Long story short is that Waymo allegedly only realized this because it was unique experiences through their cameras inside the vehicle. They realized that these kids were shooting the paintballs out of the car. They called the police, they disabled the vehicle, they tricked the kids and told them they were having some car trouble, just stay in the car, and then the cops show up and get them in trouble. I think they got arrested or whatever.

**Kevin Clancy** (2:54)
Yeah.

**Anthony Pompliano** (2:55)
Self-driving cars sound awesome. Getting essentially kidnapped by the car. Even if they're waiting for the cops. That sounds like this is gonna get really weird.

**Kevin Clancy** (3:05)
Yeah. I'm not one of these doomsday conspiracy guys when it comes to technology more often than not. Just being in the space I'm in, like I find technological advances to be a good thing.
And then the tin foil hat people start to go crazy. And a lot of times I'm like, all right, relax. But when you start to see, like, oh, I'm starting to see how this could be an issue. Like, you know, in a case like this, like if that was a real gun, probably be a good thing, right? We'd be saying like, wow, Waymo stopped these kids from...

**Anthony Pompliano** (3:32)
They stopped an active shooter.

**Kevin Clancy** (3:34)
Right, right.
And it's not... It's like, I understand where the confusion could have happened in this specific instance. But, you know, the old slippery slope sort of thing, like where do you draw the line? If you are, somebody is, you know, on the phone, like screaming at someone in the back of a Waymo, can they decide that that person is dangerous? Or, I don't know, you have some drugs on you, or whatever, what's supposed to be in a private moment. If Waymo is just watching and probably watching like, who can we call the cops on?
