Bad AI Transcript Just you inferring something. I don't think that that's anything real. I think it's got everything to do with you. It does. I'm sorry. Uh, Miles with uh a thing called static Radio. Hey Miles, how are you? I am reclined. That's probably what the problem is with all your phlegm, is you're laying down practically. If you'd sit up, it would all, you know you all your drainage would be proper. Well, you seem to know a lot about drainage. know what that's supposed to mean, but You were bragging about it earlier. I was bragging about drainage? Yeah, you're like, I don't drain all right it's my esophageal cancer. Yeah, it sounds like it. I think put that shut out you know like it's like you're uhfour pack a day smoker or something over there. I feel like i just smoked a blunt man like man it's all cashed out goodness gracious i love it i love how in tune miles is with everything. He asked me a question tonight. How long you been doing this thing? It's like, I don't know, three years? I just was interested. I wanted to ask a question, and you answered it. You're like, honey, when did we switch from butter to margarine? I don't know, 20 years ago? Why did we have to decaf? I didn't realize. Things like that have happened in my life. How come I'm wearing diapers and not underwear anymore? And this isn't our home. You get back in your room now. I'm not your wife, idiot. This is not my beautiful wife. So yeah, you may ask yourself.And so then we got on this whole thing where I show him all these social media posts that I've been doing that he is not aware of. I am on social media somewhat, but I kind of… I think I post them on TikTok somewhere too. I don't know. You're not on TikTok. I am on TikTok. You barely post bullshit. Okay. Bye. Lies, lies and more lies. And then i'm making little uh like 8-bit games on the website and and i mean you know it's a whole thing. I'm having fun. I, okay. I didn't know. So, enjoy people, enjoy. Games. Yeah, little fun, little, you know, silly games. Yep. That usually involve… Tic-tac-toe. I could do a tic-tac-toe if you want. If you want. Usually involve our characters in some way, shape, or form. Me melting. You what? Me melting in every cartoon. Oh, you melting. Yeah, the cartoons have you melting. I think that's funny. I don't know. I think people find…You as a snowman melting funny. You know, that would not have been my first pick as a character. Well, unfortunately, you didn't know how to do anything, and so I picked it. No, that's okay. I think it's a very apropos character for you. I guess. I don't know if it would be my first choice for myself. You have a very large round head. Right. You have a very prominent nose. Correct. And you wear a Bears memorabilia and jerseys and that stuff all the time. That's what the snowman has. And I have a jelly belly. Yeah. I mean, I did make you, if you recall, you were on a Bears playing card as your character. Yeah. You like that one. Well, if it's tastefully done, I don't want to be embarrassed. Yeah.I try to, you know, each time I try to go back and forth to where, you know, I'll get your goat, then you'll get my goat, you know what I mean? I don't be eating tacos in the car, for instance. I thought that was funny. Inappropriate. You read a little bit too much into everything, I think. I am reading a lot into these cartoons. Yeah. I feel very uncomfortable watching these with you for half an hour. This is weird, dude. This is weird. I try to make them interesting. I mean, to some degree, I'm glad you're a quote-unquote friend of mine, I suppose. Oh, God. Sometimes I feel very uncomfortable with it, too. You know what I'm saying? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.You figure it out. Yeah, eating in the car. It's like a thing. There's all these videos of people eating in a car. I thought it wouldn't be funny if our characters were eating in a car. This guy sends me chocolates on Valentine's Day and stuff. I'm getting weird with it, man. I'm like, I don't know. This is like crossing the line. The only thing I send you is postcards, which, by the way, you've got your postcards from my latest trip. I did. Yeah. And I sent you a postcard from the place that you suggested. Yes. I said, thank you. Now the, the funny thing behind that is I actually was going to get you a gift. Yeah. So we went, we were in Charleston, South Carolina recently. This is called a segue by the way, everyone. And, uh,And you had recommended, you said you should go see the Hunley. Well, that's totally up everybody's alley who was on the trip, right? We love these historical things. And for those of you who don't know what the Hunley is, the Hunley was the first submarine. Correct. Successful battle. And it blew up a ship. It did. Yeah. I can't remember the name of the ship now. The Constitution. No, was it the Constitution? The Chattahootook. Yeah. So anyway, it was a Chappaquiddick. I think they blew it up. A lot of people drowned. No one's fault. But the, the guys who, the funny thing is, and that's not funny in any way, shape or form, actually two people, two sets of people died in the submarine. That's correct. One, when they were testing it, they killed everybody. And then they actually had a successful mission.And blew up a Union ship. So they were the Confederates made the submarine. So it was a Confederate submarine. And they blew up a Union ship. And then they were successful. Everybody knew they were successful. And then somehow they died on the way back. Yeah. So kind of a mixed, yeah. Yeah, a little bit. It was good and bad. And then… Apparently, at that point, everybody's like, you know what? We can't get any more volunteers to go on these goddamn submarines, so we're going to scrap this idea. Anyway, they found it, and it's preserved at a naval base in Charleston, South Carolina. You can go see it, and you get to see all this interesting history about it and so forth. We went, and I got your postcard. I mentioned that. I'm in the gift shop, andwe always get a magnet, so we have a magnet, and i got a postcard, and i told my wife i'm like i'm gonna get miles something. You know, he was really hyped on this thing i want to i want to get him something, and i go, I thought about getting you a t-shirt. Yeah. And I'm like, no, I don't, you know i i I don't know what size he is. I'm not going to try to figure this shit out. Because if I get it too big, he's going to be crying. And if I get it too small, he's going to be crying. Bob went to South Carolina and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. Yeah. So I found there was this hat and it said the Hunley dive team. Right. And I go, I thought I might get him that Hunley dive team hat. And she goes, no.No, you're not getting him a stupid hat. You're getting him a postcard and that is it. That is it. I've had it. Yeah. So she would not get you. She's like, he'll never wear it. You'll pay all this money to get it to him and it'll sit or he'll lose it. And I'm not paying for it. He knows me too well. That's the funny part. Then I go, okay, well, I'll get him a couple of, I got you extra postcards. You did? Yeah. And so, yeah. Now, the story that you don't want to hear that I want to tell because it says a lot. So, we're at the Hunley. I'm getting postcards and we got, you know, magnet and something else. Oh, we got a book about the whole schmear.A book that you'll never read. It's just going to sit there. No, there's a lot of reading going on around here. So anyway, and so then I get the postcard and the lady's ringing it up and I'm paying for it. And then she goes, oh, do you need a stamp? Nope, I got one. She's like, what? She's like digging around the register looking for stamps. She's like, what? I go, yeah, yeah, I got a stamp. She goes, okay. That's unusual. Yeah, exactly. And then she go, and then so she didn't put them in the, in the bag, you know, putting everything in the bag. She goes, you need a pen? No, no, I got a pen. Oh, she goes, what? Are you always this prepared? I go, yes, I am.See, I'm a friend with this mental case out in the Midwest, and we're both mentally ill, and I send him postcards, and he enjoys them. That's right. He's mentally disabled. Yeah, he usually has coloring books I give him, but I send him postcards, too. They did have a coloring book. I thought about getting you one of those. You're not doing it, because he's going to lose it, or he's going to… I would agree with your wife. I'm sorry to interrupt, but I agree with your wife. She made the right call on that. Well, because you were so excited about us being able to go. I'm so happy you saw it. And it was really, you know, the funny thing is, and I don't know if people know this, but anyway, there's an author, his name is Clive Cussler. He writes books, if you look him up. He found the Hunley. He's the one that found it and brought itto the surface, and then it's actually not on the surface because it's in such bad shape. It was a wooden, I don't know, it was a metal, but it's all rusted out and stuff. It had been on the floor of the ocean for quite some time. Anyway, so it's in a tank, so it doesn't degrade anymore in water. But you can look at it. You look down at it. Anyway, he had a lot of books. Raise the Titanic was one of his books. Sahara. He had a bunch of books. Anyway, and my wife and my father-in-law both loved his books and read all his books. So she was actually going just because it had that connection as well. Right. Well,...
