0:00 So, you guys know uh in San Mateo, you know, like those Whimo cars that go around autonomous and stuff like that. Two 15year-olds were riding around town in a Whimo, day drinking, by the way. >> Oh, boy. >> And shooting Orbeez gel guns out of the car. Uh, >> Orbeez still exist. >> What do you mean? What happened that they shouldn't? >> Yeah. >> Oh ████ I was thinking about Orbits. Remember Orbits? Okay, never mind. >> We didn't even have that. >> Orbits is very popular. Yeah. So, [snorts] uh, they're shooting gel guns out of the car. Whimo flags it, calls the cops itself, pulls over so the police can pull them out, locks the doors. Um, oh, actually, no, that's that's other news saying it didn't lock them in. It just uh stopped and then it snitched on them. Sam Sanontato PD was >> heck yeah, dude. >> Will to catch them and stuff like that. >> That's how it should be, man. You can't

0:50 horse around like that no more. >> So, they were using the Whimo as a driveby like assistant. They were just they were just doing bonehead kid ████ that we did in the 90s, but you can't have that no more. >> Nope. >> Yeah, they got 29 cameras like in cabin recording experts like Whimo's not like a it's not fully autonomous yet, right? Like they're still being kind of watched by like a fleet. >> Yeah, there's an Indian guy just driving it for you sometimes. >> Technically, technically still. Um so like you >> Filipino guy, >> you go in there, you you ████ around and then you're gonna get called the cops on and stuff. That's just kind of the new the new service. >> Well, I mean, that makes sense to me, though, because that's like the equivalent of us calling a taxi and doing that ████ in the 90s. Like, you got to have your own friend's car if you want to be doing bonehead stuff >> either stolen or >> can't be using some ████ like that. That's stupid. >> It's like using a city service.

1:41 [laughter] It's like being in a bus with other people. Yeah. >> It's like duh, you're going to get in trouble. So you think at that point it's just like the parents book it for them on like an app or something or they just have their parents credit card they use >> their parents they're probably latch key kids or one of them is and so they're used to using Whimos. >> They probably have credits and stuff. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Cuz lots of kids use Uber by themselves a lot now. >> This Yeah. Cuz this is one of those like ████ mayor PSA but like man dude this is why we can't have nice things sometimes, right? It's like if a city or if its community could just like not ████ the things up, then they'd be It's like the the the electric scooters, dude. Throwing them in ████ rivers and sewers and pissing on them and ████ And it's like, okay, well, they were really convenient when they came out. >> I would argue that those them s████ were annoying. So, I think like people chucked them because they were sick of them. >> Well, those things are dangerous as ████ too, dude. They're killing kids

2:31 left and right now. >> And Asian elderly people have died getting hit by that ████ >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Okay, not my best example. Point is, [laughter] point is it's like, you know, uh if people start like abusing or destroying these things, then they can't roll them out to the communities or or it takes way longer for like the laws to like, you know, allow. >> Yeah. I think kids are always going to be kids every ████ generation. They're always going to be doing this ████ It's more like the people There's another story about a Whimo where these two uh this one guy met up on Facebook Marketplace to look at a really expensive camera and then what he did was when he was like, "Okay, yeah, let me see and he starts testing it, testing it out, and then he calls a Whimo and then he just jumps into the Whimo with the camera. >> A getaway driver. >> Yeah. See, that's where it's like that's not just like like, you know, little uh boneheaded activities being a nuisance. That's actual criminal activity. You know what I mean?

3:21 >> Have you seen the video of the guy who's at like a Bass Pro fishing shop and you know they sell guns there and he's like, "Hey, can I see that rifle?" And the guy hands him the rifle and he he holds it up and he goes like holds it to the left and he's like, "Get on the ████ ground." And everyone's like, "Yo, what the f███?" >> And and his buddy's like, "He's training to be a cop. He's training to be a cop." So, it was obviously a prank, but like everyone in the store is ████ pissed. >> You know, if you do that at a gun store, they'll start shooting at you. >> Why the ████ would you do that? >> That's what the guy behind the counter. He's like, "You're fixing to get shot, boy." Like ████ like that. >> Oh my goodness. Hey, honestly, the jumping in a Whimo mode is a getaway car is really funny, though. Like, I feel like the first guy who gets away with that, I feel like you got to let him off, Doug. That's really >> Let him off the hook. It's the easiest way to be on the hook cuz your record is on the card. >> I know, but it's just so funny. Like if it's like a petty crime, we got to like ingenuity should go a long way cuz that

4:11 that's how we enforce the new >> What's ingenuity about like getting seven angles of you holding the merchandise and going home. >> Yeah, that's like that. It's like it's like people who vandalize Teslas, they deserve every bit of that punishment cuz it's ████ dumb. >> Everyone should know about sentry mode. Like they should everyone should know. >> It's so like it's so like below IQ to ████ It's already happened a million times. Everybody gets caught. You're right there on the camera. Like >> Yeah, but like those ones don't make you laugh a little bit. Like somebody like Key to Tesla while it's in Central. It doesn't make me go like like [laughter] somebody like jump into a getaway Whimo. It's kind of funny. >> Have you guys rolled the ones here? The one that's like a box. >> Oh, zoo. >> I see it everywhere. >> Damn it. No, >> I'm I'm >> Those look really fun though. I'm not going to lie. >> I like how it's like you can face each other. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Like sitting in a cafe [laughter] >> and you just roll it around. >> Feel like people just hotbox them, too. >> Oh, that's fun.

5:01 >> But that's They're going to do that. They're going to watch out for their own property. Like, you know, companies like Whimo and stuff. If people are using it like that, that definitely sucks. Like, if if that's your thing and someone's just like using it for other stuff. I was um I was in uh my my cousin's area, Monabello, uh where they're like totally gentrifying, have these giant like, you know, uh super nicer neighborhoods that don't belong there, by the way, cuz we've never grown up with it looking nice. But gated communities, all Chinese people now. All these ████ Chinese people are just going into these areas, buying these. Like, what are you doing with a $1.5 million house in Montabelloo, by the way? But like all of them are over like a million dollars, right? So that also means like coming out the neighborhood, everybody's in like a white Tesla. Like Chinese people just do the same ████ They all have like the exact same. >> They like white cars. >> It's like our medians in white BMWs. Yeah. >> Oh yeah.

5:51 >> But like I'm talking like this is like present day Pleasantville. Like it it just looks like everything's coming at the same, you know, half of them are on the cell phone because they're in autopilot coming out of a driveway. But and but it's scary cuz it just works so clean when everybody's on the same ████ robot. It's like I robot. You know what I'm talking it ████ just fell in. Everybody's in the perfect line, equidistant from each other, not swinging. You're like this is kind of crazy. That's >> it. It's It is. >> I know you're like pro police state, but how do you feel about your car being turned off at any given moment and then you might be framed for a >> He's like, "We can't stop it." That's what he thinks. [laughter] We can't what am I going to do about it? >> I think dude, first of all, that's too cliche. My my true answer is as long as I'm not doing anything wrong, it's not going to affect me. Right. >> There it is. >> No, but like what if but what if you got a hater and then and then someone's

6:42 like, I I I don't like you, Anthony Lee. And then um their life is miserable because they're like, you know, one of the guys that just control those like cars and ████ and then they can control your Tesla >> and they just happen to hate me >> and they turn they're turn they they make you crash. >> Okay, >> they make you crash. >> Now what? or or [snorts] not that they hate you. They just really like Nenah. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh so Steve is working in this position. >> Not bad. >> Well, because majority of these majority of these abused technological uh scandals are because of like some creepy guy really liking a woman >> motive. >> Wow. >> I'm only getting cards under the year of 2000 because of that. I assume that regardless of my complete admiration for a police state, I think if there's that hater who loves Nia that much, it doesn't matter if we're in an analog ████ territory or technological

7:33 buffoon era. >> That's like stalker ████ Yeah, you're ████ either way. >> Yeah, but but have you guys seen the movie Upgrade? >> That sounds familiar. >> Upgrade. It's a gem. It's a sleeper. It uh there's no point getting too into it. I think you guys would really really enjoy it. Um, but same ████ you know, they're in the future. Everybody's got like these little technological stuff that like turn upgrade you. Uh, it's a really cool movie anyways. Watch it. But this kind of thing happens. They're in these electric cars that like you don't even care about where you're going cuz it like fully closes it. So, you could just sit however you they're all ████ in the car. They're all making out and stuff. Um, but that's that's the near future. The second they allow autopilot like full self driving, everybody's using it cuz it's like safe, right? And then they also like censor blur out window tints to the point where you could just do anything.

8:24 >> Sign me up. >> But what if what if someone could watch you though? >> ████ sign me up. Whatever, dude. Watch it, dude. Let's >> You know what makes me think of like these these like creature comforts and all these like futuristic stuff, you know? Like people are always really uh I guess the most paranoid people, they're more concerned about the slow bleed of rights being compromised. So it's not so much about like overnight this stuff is going to turn on you. It's more like, oh, the more they you the more that you allow these little things to uh be normalized, the more of an edge you're giving for like the government to like step in even more. >> Yeah, you're absolutely 1,000% right. >> But then uh there's also the case of like stuff like Twitter, like the people who are moderating it and were watching what you say and banning you had very specific politics. So there's that, too. It's like if your politics don't match

9:14 up with the person that's the next level up in your surveillance or whatever, you could be totally screwed. >> They could just like how people are getting whole accounts deleted just for having a certain opinion. >> Like it's not down to the, you know, it's not down to like whether or not you agree with Elon. It's down to if you agree with this guy way at the ████ bottom. Yeah. That's what scares me >> cuz I'm like who's watching the auditors >> and that's the guy that has the authority, not the guy up top. The ████ next guy right above you. Mark Zuckerberg was doing that with Facebook. >> He was like skezing on chicks and like looking through their DMs and ████ like that. >> Even Tom Tom Tom was doing that with MySpace. >> Tom did that with uh with freaking you know Devon, the guy that ran my old uh team. So Devin used to uh talk to the same girls Tom was hitting on on MySpace. And then Tom sent a message to

10:04 Devon that said, "You're the gayest kid on MySpace." >> Oh ████ [laughter] Hater. >> Strong. >> Why are you such a hater? [laughter] >> That's a strong hater comp. >> Saying you're the gayest kid on MySpace. >> That's big from Tom. >> Yeah. >> ████ gangster. >> 2005. So >> what a dunk. >> Yeah. And so so Deon was like, "What? I got He's like, I got a message from freaking Tom." Cuz Devin was one of the most uh had the most friends on MySpace. I don't know if you ever >> I do remember >> prolific reputation for being like like he was just at the top of every friend list before you could arrange it. It just put him on top because he was one of the first people to sign up. >> Wow, that's so funny, dude. You're the gayest from Tom. >> You are the gayest kid on MySpace. >> From Tom. Yeah, >> that's so strong. [laughter] >> That's so ████ funny.

10:55 >> That's hilarious, dude. Just like and and just coming in and saying you're the gayest kid, too. Like that as a line is just >> that's your first sentence you see from the owner of MySpace >> and he didn't even do anything. It was just because they were both hitting the same chicks and then I guess the girls were talking about how like Tom was also messaging them and then he like made fun of that. But Tom can see every message. >> Yeah, that's wild. >> Which is insane. So he's down there trying to kill your game. [laughter] >> It's crazy, dude. >> He's trying to get in your head and be like, "Maybe you're gay." >> [laughter] >> And it's working because now every single girl you're hitting on is like, "Wait, that guy's gay, [laughter] >> dude." It's like, "That's the guy who owns the platform. Why does he care?" >> That's so sick. That's a glory days right there, dude. Where like people are willing to step off their high horse cuz they're like still one of the people, you know? Yeah, exactly. I love that ████ >> I like just finding out that people are humans. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. >> I really like that.
