[upbeat music] The Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast.
Okay, Peaches. Earlier, I saw Nate Eaton make a post about people standing in line at Target.
Yeah.
And people were trying to figure out why, and apparently it was people waiting for, uh, Pokemon cards?
Yeah, that's it.
Okay. I, I just happened to stumble across a post in the Am I The Jerk subreddit where someone was asking if they were a jerk for refusing to honor cold rules and not letting empty chairs hold spots in line. Like, I guess in areas where it's getting colder, people are waiting for Pokemon cards, but they'll put up, like, a, a camping chair?
Th- this happens with everything. I mean, look at the, the, the Fourth of July parade.
Oh, yeah. People putting down their blankets and they're-
And, and-
... staking off areas
... the city says not to do so.
Yeah.
And then you had those, uh, citizens who would take those chairs and chuck them.
[laughs] Yes.
Which would then, of course, causes a huge fight 'cause-
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it's ... But, I, I, I don't know. I feel like waking up at 4:00 AM to go to Target and wait outside at what? 30 years old? I'd be like, "What on earth am I doing with my life?"
Well, I can agree with you on that. I mean, I know you can make money off of these. I assume that's why people are doing it, right? The-
Uh, yeah. Brian from Fame on Fire has been posting, uh, his own little things about him selling, uh, Pokemon cards to people.
Man, I really wish I knew what happened to the Pokemon cards my kids had from back in the day. 'Cause I think my sister gave 'em a full booklet of ... I mean, these would've been 20 years old, 25, 30 years old.
If you kept them in mint condition, I'm sure they'd be worth a lot of money.
Yeah. And she had like one of those baseball card folders-
Yeah
... just packed with them.
Mm-hmm.
And I wonder if it's, like, around in my house somewhere. 'Cause screw the kids, I need some money [laughs]. I will take those cards and sell 'em in a second.
You might as well.
They, if they left 'em when they moved, the- they're mine.
You gotta go to some place, uh, that will take them for a good amount of money.
Yeah, I ... Well, what about eBay? You know-
Sure
... I get some plastic sleeves, put 'em-
Sell 'em individually?
Yeah, one at a time. That's, that's the best way to do it.
Well, you, you probably wanna get some of them graded if they're worth a lot.
Uh, yeah.
Like a PSA10 Charizard, like, that's worth a ton.
See, I have no idea.
Yeah.
All I know is I want some money.
We graded some of my, uh, baseball cards from back in the day, signed a baseball as well.
Ah, see, I think I gave my brother all my baseball cards. He probably has those.
Your brother's gonna strike it rich.
Yeah, and those, those would've been 35 years old or something. I mean, they were from when I was pretty young.
I can't wait for my dad to pass me the signed Lou Garrick, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb baseball [laughs].
So you can put it on eBay?
So I can sell it right away [laughs]-
[laughs]
... get myself a house.
[laughs] So I told my kids with the, you know, some of the books I have, I'm like, "I'm sure in like 30 years or something, some of those books would be worth some pretty good dough." And I, I've thought about selling 'em at this point, but I was like, oh, I already told my kids I'd, you know, hook it up down the line and give 'em the books. Plus I can't bring myself to do it. The one time I sold a book, it was, uh, Richard Bachman, Rage. Uh, the author of The Long Walk. You know, Stephen King's pseudonym. And, uh, I had a paperback of it. Sold it for like 400 bucks so I could, uh, get a guitar, and then out of nowhere all of a sudden it became like the most sought after Stephen King book, and now they sell for like 15 hundred.
Yeah, what's that one thing ... That, that, that would make a great To Peach The Wrong question. What's that thing you kick yourself for selling type of a-
Yeah-
... type of question there?
That book.
Like my, my dad, he sold his, uh, like 1970 something Porsche 911 because of course, you know, I was about to be born. He needed to get a real family car.
Gotta get a van.
So he sold that car, and now it's worth $150,000-
Really?
... or something like that.
Ah, you just never know. Like, I feel bad. Who are these parents that like, you know, would buy their kids toys back in the day and just keep 'em in the packaging [laughs]? You know, 'cause you see on like Pawn Stars some toys that were perfectly preserved and-
Oh, yeah
... you know, "Oh, I had this since I was a kid." Like, you never played with it? 'Cause I'm s-
I, I, I have a couple Funkos that I thought would be worth money, but then all of a sudden I see the whole article about how like, oh, Funko is going out. You know, they're gonna be done after this year. They're, they're losing money.
Yeah, I saw that too. Um, and I think there are still some Funko Pops you can get pretty good dough out of, but they gotta be-
Like solid gold, the solid gold ones?
Yeah, or like a real limited run. 'Cause at some point ... Like, I mean, if you walk into the mall, some stores, they just have like a million Funko Pops.
I'm looking at you, GameStop.
[laughs] The GameStop and, uh, what, what, Entertainmart. Like-
Spencer's. Hot-
Spencer's
... Hot Topic.
Just piles of hundreds-
M- maybe-
... of, uh, Funkos.
That will make Hot Topic resort back to their old ways.
Wouldn't that be great?
Once Funko finally dies out.
'Cause-
But then they still have all that anime crap everywhere.
Yeah. I mean, I, I guess maybe rock T-shirts are just on the way out or something, but-
Mm. Uh, no, I think more people are wanting band T-shirts now.
But Spencer's has a better collection of, uh, rock T-shirts.
Got cool stuff in the back. That's right.
[laughs] Yeah, well-
Very nice.
And that. And that, of course. [upbeat music] All right, earlier on the show, Peaches threw together an AI prompt for a new Sora Peaches video with something to do [laughs] with Sloppy Joes and ... I, I didn't read the prompt. You showed me, it was like an essay. And now you have the video.
Yes.
All right, and you haven't watched it. I haven't watched it.
But I have to aim the phone towards you, so I won't be able to see it.
Okay. Give, give me the first look and then you'll ... 'Cause they're not very long, so-
No. You ready?
Right? I'll watch it and we'll see what my reaction is.
Let me get my volume all the way up here.
Okay.
Hello? Hello? What is this? Peaches Pizza. Sloppy
Joe.
Peaches Pizza. Peaches Pizza.
[laughs] Why, why is it so obsessed-
Sloppy Joe. Peaches Pizza
... with Peaches Pizza? [laughs]
[laughs]
What is going on?
[laughs]
It's just a vortex.
[laughs] That was so bizarre, dude. And why does it, it, it like hangs on to that phrase, "Peaches Pizza"-
[laughs]
... that's at the every one of 'em. [laughs]
Peaches Pizza.
Is the phrase "Peaches Pizza" in that long essay of a prompt?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
It k- so like, uh, I had that thread on ChatGPT where I started out by saying, um, "Turn me into a pizza monster-"
[laughs]
... and then it came up with Peaches Pizza. And then now I keep just adding new other prompts, but it keeps, for some reason [laughing], keeping Peaches Pizza.
[laughs] Okay. I thought it was just throwing it into every video, like Sora was going crazy 'cause it loved that phrase. All right, m- ma- make sure to just continue uploading these. [laughs]
Put-
Put 'em on, uh, you, have you been putting 'em on our YouTube Shorts and like TikTok?
Not on our, not on our YouTube Shorts, 'cause the thing is, is that I'm, I'm weary of putting these on, uh, uh, our social media pages. I put it in the KBAR group 'cause I figured that'd be passable, but the anti-AI crowd is huge right now w- on TikTok and also YouTube.
Dude, y-
Like-
... y- y- you know how the internet works, Peaches.
Well, Jack Dorsey now has started a, a new version of Vine. It still has all the old Vine videos, like all the old classics.
Uh-huh.
And it's called Divine, but there's, uh, they've made a rule of like, "Absolutely no AI content on there." And everyone's like, "Oh, thank God. I can go to a place that has no AI slop anywhere."
See, but yeah, I say negative interactions, that's why all you see on Facebook is news, 'cause people are fighting in the comments. So if people are fighting in our YouTube and TikTok comments, who cares? We're getting clicks and views.
I mean, if it's that easy to post YouTube Shorts and meet the requirement here-
Exactly
... [laughing] to post on social media, sure.
Dude, you should be uploading every one of them. We should just, uh, yeah, start uploading endless AI Sora slop.
Well, did you see what happened with, uh, our TikTok with Chantel?
Uh, y- I know yesterday you said it was doing really good.
It's at 3,000 views almost.
Nice.
So I think the qui- the, the answer is you gotta have a woman as-
[laughs]
... the cover photo. So-
Oh, okay
... you know where I'm going with this.
[laughs]
The, the Victoria Rose wig is gonna speak to you like the Green Goblin mask.
[laughs]
Put it on.
All right, I will put-
Maybe, uh, put your knees under your shirt so that way it looks like something else.
I've still got my bra.
Oh, it's true, but I mean, you can show some skin a little bit. You know, put-
Oh, you've gotta show some skin
... the, the, the, fake that illusion. You know, sit in the chair with the knees up here so that way it looks like, you know, eh? Eh?
My knees would probably be like the most horrible cleavage.
All right, w- we're still going. We're just messing around with AI today. It's Friday, we don't need to put a lot of effort into this show or the videos [laughing] we make. So you're over there making a, a new video?
Yeah. I'm saying, so we scrolled Sora for like a split second. I was showing you the, uh, AI slop other people have generated.
Yeah.
And there was this one bald dude, completely hairless, running into a gas station just screaming, and then he explodes.
Yes.
I don't know how that bypassed the, uh, Sora filters, 'cause anytime I try doing anything, I get that generation, or the, uh, violation, generative violation, something like that.
Yeah. I hate that, man.
Yeah, me too. And I don't know how people are getting Tupac to rap about Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup.
[laughs] Don't know either. Uh, they, they just need to drop all restrictions, you know? Come on, it's like, uh, a lot of the AI image generation sites. You know, they're like, "Sorry, that, uh, image was too violent," or something.
Oh, I cuss out ChatGPT like a madman.
[laughs]
Anytime they say they can't do something, I will go like, "Listen here, you piece o-" And I would start going off.
[laughs]
And I said, "Don't come with some lousy excuse. Don't give me some stupid alternatives, you lousy piece o-" No, I would like, I would just go off.
And does it, uh, fix the problem? [laughs]
No, it just goes like, "Sorry."
[laughs]
And it stops talking. [laughs]
[laughs]
It shuts down. I'm like, "Don't even talk if you can't do what I tell you to do." And it- [laughing] it just gives me, "Dot, dot, dot."
I know, uh, like, uh, because I was throwing my podcast together [laughing] in here today, usually I do it in my office, I've got, you know, the little scripts we'll use for ChatGPT to get us like keywords and things. And so I was looking at yours, and it's real funny 'cause [laughing] it's like, "Give me a, at least 10 hilarious unhinged title options based off major topic discussed. Make sure these titles are funny and not just some overly AI statement that you came up with." [laughs]
Well, it's even worse, like, "Don't you even dare to put these words in the description."
Yeah. "Please avoid all your stereotypical words in the descriptions."
[laughs] It's so mean to ChatGPT. Makes me laugh. I'm always like, "Please do this for me, blah, blah, blah." [laughs] Oh, but I, uh, uh, it was kinda helpful 'cause I used the line that you said about, "Don't use the same buzzwords you usually do, like caffeine, vibes, unfiltered, chaos," et cetera. And so it made my description a little bit different today, which was nice. [laughs] Oh.
So yeah, I just had Chat, ChatGPT come up with another Sora prompt. Peaches loses it at pump three. [laughs]
[laughs] I can't wait. Uh, yeah, have you plugged it into Sora?
Not yet. I'm gonna copy the whole five paragraph thing.
[laughs] Oh man, I, I can't wait to see how this one turns out 'cause the sloppy jail video was just bizarre.
Okay, so I told it to, to have me scream something random.
Okay.
Instead of, "Peaches Pizza."
Okay, good.
It has me yelling, "The freezer aisle is haunted and the taquitos are unionizing."
[laughs] Okay, all right.
What do I, what? [laughs]
Sure. Uh, I, I'm all for that. And how long does it generally take to, uh, generate a Sora video?
Uh-
'Cause I haven't done it
... like 30 seconds.
Okay, that's not too bad. We can yap for 30 seconds while it, uh, generates it.
Maybe a little bit longer.
Um, and yeah, uh, since we've been talking about these, you gotta ma- upload 'em to the KBAR YouTube Shorts, and maybe Instagram too. Just start putting 'em up there, uh? Who cares about the anti-AI crowd?
Well, I do, 'cause I don't want us to lose followers.
We're not gonna lose followers. And if we do, uh, sorry, guys.
Do you wanna hear, do you wanna hear something stupid?
Yeah.
Josh and Chantel uploaded a picture that says seven days to Christmas music, right?
Yeah, I sa- I saw that picture.
Literally five minutes after, not even five minutes. A couple hours, I mean, after they posted that...[gentle music] Somebody messaged the Classy page asking, "When does Christmas music start?"
It's the cover photo-
So we're-
... on the page.
We were making a joke saying you have to count it out for them. It says seven days.
[laughs]
They're not doing the math. "Uh, 15, 16."
[laughs]
"What day? Uh, the 20."
Dude. Yeah. How, how hard is it? I'm ... Yeah, and Josh, for some reason, looked creepy in that photo to me. I think people's faces are starting to weird me out.
Well, I think-
There's too much AI slop, so even normal faces are starting to look weird to me.
I, I don't wanna insult Josh, but when he shaves every hair off its head-
[laughs]
... it, it's kinda creepy. And that's just his natural face.
Yeah, he needs to grow the beard back.
Which is kinda sad to say.
I was the same way. I had to get the beard back as fast as possible. It's getting there. I'm looking a little more normal now. When I did not have the beard at all, that was, that was scary. Maybe that's part of the reason faces are starting to scare me. I saw my own unshaven face for the first time in like a, a decade or more. My kids told me they didn't know if they'd ever seen me without a beard when, when they saw that picture.
You, you have to ... Like, if you're gonna go the full hairless route, you have to be like tip-top shape.
Yeah, yeah, 'cause it ... You know, the beard hides the double chin.
Yeah.
You know?
I cut mine shorter and then I wa- I, I cut mine shorter, and then we recorded that video with Chantel, and I can see my double chin peeking through the hair.
Uh-huh.
I was like, "Ugh."
Yeah, I don't like that either.
Yeah.
I'm like, "Ugh."
It's still taking forever to generate.
I'm gonna get dumped.
So I could just, uh-
Uh, it might be a pretty good one then.
I, I, I could just upload it to the ... I'm, I'm gonna upload all of these. I feel like it's just gonna be Peaches AI spam.
Well, see, and now I'm gonna have to sit down. I think after I get back from lunch, I'm gonna sit down. Uh, is it better to be ... Like, should I have my normal look? Like, should I go home at lunch and shave so I look how I would normally look? Or be kinda frazzled like I am right now with the-
Uh, just be who you naturally are. Like, I think the one I have is me right after I got my beard trimmed.
Okay.
And so it has me like looking all like stylish-
Yeah
... versus how I usually look.
Yeah, maybe I should go with the, the grizzled look like this where I'm unshaven and kinda unkempt.
Like some of th-
I did shave my head recently, so-
Some of these early videos are me with like the normal beard, like the, the Peach Fest one.
Oh, that one just gives me the creeps.
It made me so fat, dude.
[laughs]
Like, look at, look at that. Look at that.
That's too funny.
It makes me either so fat or really skinny. It doesn't know what body I have. It's like, "Um, let, let's guess here. He either looks like he's 350 or 250."
Yeah, maybe I should leave the, the beard as it is right now so I'll look skinnier in my [laughs] Sora videos. Hide all ... And I'll have to like, you know, kinda stick my chin out a little bit when I have it scan my face.
It says to say those numbers that it gives you, but the more you talk, the better it gets your voice too.
Okay. So, i- if, you can say a whole bunch of different things to it at first?
I'm gonna sneeze. Yeah.
All right, may- maybe it's not gonna ... This video is too complex, Peaches, whatever you're trying to come up with here. Gesundheit.
Oh. No, it's almost done.
All right, it's almost done.
Yeah, it's-
We ain't stopping this show till we see Peaches' new video that, uh, oh, it was about you losing your mind at a gas pump.
Yeah, yeah. So, people can get very complex with these prompts too. It'll say like, uh, "Security cam footage from the 1980s at a gas station in particular in, uh, Phoenix, Arizona."
Okay.
Like, "Midday, 12:35 PM." That type of thing.
Wow.
And so it'll ... Like, that way you can give it all the details to, you know, generate what you want.
It is so weird the times we're living in right now.
Well, the, the worst part is, is that you could, uh, like upload a picture of this K-Bear Studio-
Mm-hmm
... and then have your face, and have you walk in and just set the place on fire.
[laughs] It'll let you upload photos?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah, it'll say like, "Make this the setting. Have me walk in and just kick over the, the whole computer. Or stand on the desk and kick the PC off the compu- off the table," and all of that.
That sounds like something I might have to do for a video. [laughs]
Yeah, yeah, upload it. Victor, Victor rages in K-Bear's studio. Or better yet, when Jade's not in his office, take a hol- or maybe even when he's in his office, take a picture of hi- No, I don't think you can use people, like other people.
You can't use other people?
Y- you just walk into his office without him sitting there and just have you drop trou- [laughs]
[laughs]
And just fart. All right, you ready?
I'm ready. I'm ready for Peaches loses his mind-
Oh, no. [laughs]
At Peaches loses his mind at a gas station.
It has me like, like all Looney Tuned with the, going through the front door. [laughs]
All right, let's see it. Let's see it.
Here we go.
Oh, jeez.
And the taquitos are unionizing. They're forming a picket line by the chimichangas. I'm telling you, we've got sentient taquitos demanding fair wages. Sentient taquitos.
What is- [laughs]
What is going on? I'm wondering-
There's all these-
... why there's a different voice.
Yeah, that's not your voice
... we've got sentient taquitos demanding fair wages.
[laughs] And the people in the store look disturbed.
Sentient taquitos are unionizing. They're forming a picket line by the chimichangas. I'm telling you, we've got sentient taquitos demanding fair wages. Sentient taquitos.
Please upload it. Make sure you're following us on Instagram, YouTube. These are just ... Just, just put 'em everywhere.
Oh, yeah. Daniel, I gave him the invite code from sales, Daniel from sales across the hallway. And, uh, well, he, he has been making movie trailers with him kicking people's butts.
[laughs]
And, and I don't know what he, what's going through his mind, but it's like, "Coming soon to theaters,
Daniel kicks butt." Or, "Daniel versus samurai." [laughs]
[laughs] Oh, all right, everybody. Well, Peaches' Pit Party's coming up in, uh, about an hour. I hope you enjoyed the show today, and, um, I'm gonna go get some food, Peaches.
Yeah, me too.
I think I need a sloppy joe after watching that video. [laughs]
Peaches pizza.
