Follow us FarmersEnergy Podcast listeners. Welcome to this week's show. My name is Kirk Chisholm, and I'll be your host. Today, I'm joined with Doug. Hey, Doug.

**Douglas Heagren** (0:17)
Hey, Kirk. Happy Friday to you. Hopefully, this isn't the last time that we are able to do this, because it sounds like now AI is going to create the next wave of viruses to kill us all. So we thought the Terminator meant that we would go to war with the bots.
It turns out we're never going to get to war. We'll all just have to have six feet of separation and flatten the curve indefinitely.

**Kirk Chisholm** (0:43)
Let me guess, that was from Enthropic?

**Douglas Heagren** (0:46)
I did not see that it was from Enthropic in general, but it was an announcement over the week that they have now, AI was able to replicate 12 different viruses or something like that that came in the news. It's like, great, so now it's doing biological creation, which is wonderful, good for us. Again, it was scientists said this, so who knows these days?

**Kirk Chisholm** (1:07)
Follow the science, Doug.

**Douglas Heagren** (1:09)
Follow the science. One of the stores near me still has the six feet stickers on the floor, so I'm ready.

**Kirk Chisholm** (1:15)
That's funny. They haven't bothered to update it in six years.

**Douglas Heagren** (1:19)
They haven't scraped the vinyl off the new vinyl.

**Kirk Chisholm** (1:22)
Oh, my God.

**Douglas Heagren** (1:23)
Not to be too cynical for those that might be listening here that actually believe in separation. Yes, exactly. But the most hilarious thing about the whole thing was in how just the sign of just how rushed, chaotic and stupid besides digging up parks, which I think I went off on last week.

**Kirk Chisholm** (1:40)
They did what? They dug up parks?

**Douglas Heagren** (1:42)
Do you remember this?

**Kirk Chisholm** (1:43)
No, I don't remember them digging up.

**Douglas Heagren** (1:44)
Well, because of separation and what they did is they wanted to prevent any kind of commingling of people. So I think it was in California, they were literally taking bulldozers and ripping up skate parks and places like that, which of course we now found later hurt three things. First of all, mental health. Number two, vitamin D because they were outside. And number three, actually being mobile and exercise which lowered the comorbidities.
Just to keep people from collaborating together, they were bulldozing parks.

**Kirk Chisholm** (2:19)
So let's be honest, California is cuckoo anyway. So some of our listeners and some of our panelists are from California, but they're still cuckoo.

**Douglas Heagren** (2:28)
I live in Minnesota, which, it's the whole meme, another day goes, zero days since the last time we were in embarrassment.
But so I get it. My government wants to be California in a lot of different ways. But not to get too far off track, these vinyl stickers that would be put in the stores with six feet of separation, and it would be six feet apart vertically, but they would be three feet apart horizontally. So you couldn't be six feet closer to the person in front of you, but you were only like less than three feet to the person next to you.

**Kirk Chisholm** (3:02)
People are going to go back and look at history and be like, wow, why were they so stupid? But the reality is we're human beings and we're easy to manipulate, and that's all that was is a big manipulation. News does all the time, fake news with fear, the government did it and we all fell for it. And what do we get from it? We get 114 times of, I played the fifth from Fauci, even though he's got an exemption from getting prosecuted, he still did that, which actually be interesting. I said this last week, if you're getting brought in front of Congress, you know that you're getting off scot-free. You're not going to go to jail because Congress is your get out of jail free card if you sit in front of them. And whatever you do, even if you play the fifth, you're not going to jail. So if they send Fauci to jail, I would be surprised, but it would certainly be a welcome reprieve because everyone else does not, which I think is a shame. It's just a show. It's a show for the plebs, show for the serfs, keep them entertained, keep them bitching about Fauci and whatever.
Anyway.

Are you all entertained, right? From gladiator.
