[00:00:53]  That was Drake and the Weekend.
[00:00:55]  What's the name of that song?
[00:00:58]  Does it have a name?
[00:00:59]  Oh, shoot.
[00:01:00]  I left my computer in there.
[00:01:02]  I brought it.
[00:01:03]  I just left it in my office.
[00:01:06]  That was made by AI.
[00:01:08]  What the fuck?
[00:01:09]  That was not Drake and the Weekend.
[00:01:14]  It's by Ghostwriter 977 on TikTok.
[00:01:16]  It's blowing up socials and streaming platforms.
[00:01:21]  Go back up, please.
[00:01:23]  UMG, which controls around a third of the global music market, has already asked streaming platforms to ban AI, a modern Napster moment.
[00:01:33]  So they don't want you doing this.
[00:01:37]  Art has been trumped by computers.
[00:01:42]  What's that?
[00:01:42]  I saw some lawyer on the weekend on Twitter talking about how half his job now is just done by AI.
[00:01:48]  Like he tells you to write up legal documents.
[00:01:50]  He peruses them, of course, and he goes, yeah, that's really good.
[00:01:54]  Send it off.
[00:01:55]  Corporate mergers, all kinds of complex copyright law.
[00:02:01]  Handle it, AI.
[00:02:02]  He has this massive, infinite team of assistants that don't exist.
[00:02:10]  Spooky.
[00:02:12]  That's crazy, man.
[00:02:13]  Isn't that crazy, man?
[00:02:15]  That's not.
[00:02:16]  I wish AI would fucking do something about this infrastructure problem we have in America where incompetence is taking over as the dominant characteristic of virtually everything we do.
[00:02:28]  I was at Home Depot this weekend conducting my own level of incompetence, I should say.
[00:02:34]  Pretty hungover.
[00:02:35]  I was sitting around.
[00:02:36]  My wife really wanted to barbecue on the weekend, and our barbecue is shit.
[00:02:41]  It's really, really old.
[00:02:42]  We actually, when we bought the house, it was there.
[00:02:45]  It's a Weber, but it's rusted to shit, and I could only get it up to $350.
[00:02:51]  So I think, I call Maddie.
[00:02:55]  I go, can you come by with your van?
[00:02:56]  I got to go buy a grill.
[00:02:58]  I just want one that's ready because I hear they're a nightmare to put together.
[00:03:02]  And he goes, I'm in Jersey.
[00:03:03]  Farts.
[00:03:04]  So I drive down there and I look at one and it says free delivery and assembly.
[00:03:10]  Great.
[00:03:11]  So I choose a really nice one, a $600 one, a Weber, and down from $714.
[00:03:18]  And then I go there and I go, okay, I want to deliver it and assemble.
[00:03:24]  They go, okay, we could do that Thursday.
[00:03:26]  Ah, fuck.
[00:03:27]  See, if I had my shit together, I would have already looked that up and I would have booked it earlier, right?
[00:03:35]  So then they go, okay, I'll just, I'll, I'll rent one of these trucks.
[00:03:40]  There it is.
[00:03:40]  That's it.
[00:03:41]  That's my exact one.
[00:03:42]  The square?
[00:03:43]  Yeah.
[00:03:44]  I go, I'll just rent a truck.
[00:03:47]  You can rent a truck for 25 bucks there, right?
[00:03:49]  So I'll do that.
[00:03:50]  I'll drive it home.
[00:03:51]  Then I'll come back.
[00:03:52]  So then they go, the guy goes, hey, Will, you got to get one of these barbecues from the back.
[00:03:59]  They tell me to be prepared to wait 15, 20 minutes.
[00:04:02]  Well, it's right there.
[00:04:03]  I'll go get it.
[00:04:05]  And he pulls a Homer Simpson walking backwards.
[00:04:09]  No.
[00:04:10]  And they go, Will, come on, man.
[00:04:11]  Will, Will.
[00:04:12]  He was Hispanic.
[00:04:13]  The guy yelling was black.
[00:04:16]  90% of the employees were black.
[00:04:17]  This was a new Rochelle, just north of here.
[00:04:20]  And I'm just like, this is fucking brutal.
[00:04:24]  This is brutal.
[00:04:29]  So then I get the box.
[00:04:30]  I take it home.
[00:04:33]  It took, there was 31 steps to putting this fucking thing together.
[00:04:39]  And by the time I put it together, it was about 10% bigger than the box it came in.
[00:04:46]  A. B, every little piece had its own cardboard box and plastic on it.
[00:04:53]  It seemed like it was harder to put in the box than it would be just to build it.
[00:04:58]  What a nightmare.
