Amazon tribe gets internet access - now it has a p*rn problem

This episode delves into the impact of internet access on a remote Amazon tribe, highlighting the cultural and social shifts experienced by the community.

1. Internet access can save lives by providing critical information and connectivity in remote areas.
2. The sudden introduction of digital culture can disrupt traditional lifestyles and values.
3. Younger generations are most susceptible to the distractions and cultural shifts brought by new technology.
4. Exposure to global media can lead to inappropriate behaviors that conflict with indigenous cultural norms.
5. The episode discusses the balance between technological advancement and cultural preservation.

1: Introduction

Hosts introduce the topic of internet access in a remote Amazon tribe, discussing the initial positive impacts. Kim Komando: "They're able to look up like rattlesnake bites."

2: Cultural Impact

The chapter details how the tribe's culture begins to erode as younger members engage less in traditional activities. Andrew Babinski: "They started chatting and communicating, and what they stopped doing was working."

3: Negative Consequences

Focuses on the adverse effects, including the younger tribe members viewing pornography and becoming less involved in communal responsibilities. Andrew Babinski: "And now they're seeing men being more sexually aggressive."

4: Conclusion

Summarizes the episode's insights and reflects on the broader implications of technology on indigenous cultures. Kim Komando: "It was amazing to me. Just nine months."

1. Evaluate the impact of technology before introducing it to culturally isolated communities.
2. Provide digital literacy education to help communities cope with new technologies.
3. Establish guidelines to preserve cultural practices while adopting new technologies.
4. Monitor the content accessible to remote communities to ensure it aligns with cultural values.
5. Encourage discussions within communities about the balance between technology and tradition.

Nine months ago, the Marubo people got Starlink — now elders say everyone's lazy and hooked on porn. Plus, Tokyo's government launches a dating app, and remote job scams are on the rise.

Kim Commando
Hey, it's Kim Commando today, your daily podcast to keep you up to date with all things digital and beyond. And I'd love to have you be a part of our podcast. You can make an appointment to speak with me. Just head over to commando.com. and on the top right, there's a button that says email. Kim, fill that out, and that's it. So I didn't know about magnet fishing until you told me about magnet fishing.

Andrew Babinski
That's like, a couple of weeks ago.

Kim Commando
I know.

Andrew Babinski
Where you been?

Kim Commando
I don't know. Okay, maybe. Cause I'm not a fisherwoman. Okay? Okay. And I'm not into magnets.

Allie Selgman
Little known fact. Not into magnets.

Kim Commando
Although I did date a magnet once.

Andrew Babinski
Did you?

Kim Commando
He was very attractive.

Andrew Babinski
All that. All that for the joke?

Kim Commando
No, no, no.

Andrew Babinski
Oh, you just threw that one in.

Kim Commando
Yes.

Allie Selgman
Bonus.

Andrew Babinski
She was riffing.

Kim Commando
Okay, so with magnet fishing, you go down. You fish with magnets so you can try to catch things.

Andrew Babinski
Metal things.

Kim Commando
Right. So James Cain and Barbie Xtina, they were magnet fishing off a bridge in Queens. Okay, throw it down there. See what they could find. It's like, ooh, ooh, something's really heavy down there. Something's really heavy. And they pull it up, and it's a safe. And inside the safe, $100,000.

Allie Selgman
No, really?

Andrew Babinski
There's no way. Yes, it was all safe. And I guess.

Kim Commando
Well, no, it's like, you know, the bushy. No, they're kind of mushy.

Andrew Babinski
Okay.

Kim Commando
But, you know, you can turn them into a bank.

Andrew Babinski
Yeah.

Kim Commando
And you can get the cash back. They called the police and they said, has anybody, like, said that they lost a safe with $100,000 in it?

Allie Selgman
It was actually me.

Andrew Babinski
Oh, no, you found it.

Kim Commando
They said, no, no. So they get to keep the safe.

Andrew Babinski
I don't know if I believe any of this.

Kim Commando
I saw pictures of it.

Andrew Babinski
Well, I understand.

Kim Commando
Are you saying I made all that up just so I could give a job?

Allie Selgman
I think they planted the safe.

Andrew Babinski
Yes.

Allie Selgman
For fame.

Andrew Babinski
Yes. For clicks.

Kim Commando
You know, you're such a cynic.

Andrew Babinski
All the storage people. You know when you watch those things online? Well, not you. You just learned about magnet fishing. But people buy storage units and they're like, old shoe. Old shoe, Mona Lisa. It's all fake. It's all planted.

Kim Commando
No, honest.

Andrew Babinski
I'm telling you, I believe it.

Allie Selgman
I think this was real.

Kim Commando
You know, I was channel surfing, and I ran across.

Andrew Babinski
Thank goodness she did that hat.

Kim Commando
You know, I didn't know what she was. 600 pound life.

Allie Selgman
Oh, intense.

Kim Commando
It is. I felt really sorry for those people.

Allie Selgman
It's sad.

Andrew Babinski
Yeah, it is.

Allie Selgman
It's very sad.

Kim Commando
So what do you watch that you're kind of like, I shouldn't be watching Love Island.

Andrew Babinski
I watched Love island. What's Love island?

Allie Selgman
It's a fantastic television show where a bunch of very hot people end up in a house together and they have to find love.

Kim Commando
It's.

Andrew Babinski
Do they?

Allie Selgman
Oh, yeah. Oh, also, they're british, so it's better than american.

Kim Commando
Oh, because they have that accent.

Andrew Babinski
They're smarter than us.

Kim Commando
Yes.

Andrew Babinski
I watched a show called trust where eleven people enter a house.

Allie Selgman
There's always a house.

Andrew Babinski
And they have a trust that they can just wait out the 25 days and they split the trust and everybody goes home a winner. Or they can start voting people off and they get more percentage of the trust at the end of the show.

Kim Commando
How much money are we talking about?

Andrew Babinski
I think it was $250,000. But it grows every single week.

Kim Commando
See, now, I would do that show.

Andrew Babinski
It's so great.

Kim Commando
I mean, you know this whole below deck where this costs, like, 60 grand.

Andrew Babinski
To be on tv?

Kim Commando
No, we're not gonna do that. You know what they should be paying us? They should be paying us.

Andrew Babinski
I can't believe when you found out. We found out that you had to pay to get on that show.

Kim Commando
Yeah.

Allie Selgman
I'm still shocked about that.

Kim Commando
Really?

Allie Selgman
Yeah.

Andrew Babinski
And that they actually convinced people to do it.

Kim Commando
Well. Cause, you know, you get to pay the fame. Fame? Yeah. I was gonna say fame, not fortune, but you get fame less fortune. That's true.

Allie Selgman
So we're gonna find a trunk. We're gonna load it with $100,000.

Andrew Babinski
Right.

Allie Selgman
We're gonna put it in Tempe town Lake.

Andrew Babinski
Or we'll find out some dried outriver. It'll be easier to fish for it that way.

Allie Selgman
Perfect.

Kim Commando
Who's gonna give us the 100 grand?

Andrew Babinski
That's you, Kim.

Kim Commando
That would not be me.

Andrew Babinski
It's you, Kim.

Kim Commando
I don't know if you noticed. This is called Kim Commando today.

Andrew Babinski
You get it right back. It's just for the clicks.

Kim Commando
I'm not gonna do it.

Andrew Babinski
Well, maybe take 10% off the top, but otherwise you'll get it right back.

Kim Commando
I have a feeling that you people would steal it from me.

Andrew Babinski
No.

Kim Commando
Wow. No.

Andrew Babinski
Never.

Kim Commando
Never. Well, it is. Kim Commando. Today it's your fun podcast about all things digital. If you notice, there are three voices here. Yes. Because not only is Andrew Babinski, you're.

Andrew Babinski
Crashing the Wednesday show.

Allie Selgman
Ally, it's me. I'm here.

Kim Commando
Allie Selgman, our amazing content queen. You know why she has to go be a good aunt on Friday, my.

Allie Selgman
Nephew is graduating from high school, which feels insane. I still think about him as, like.

Kim Commando
A little baby so and so. Now what do you. What are you gonna give him for graduation?

Allie Selgman
Oh, I haven't gotten that far yet. I'm gonna ask him what he wants.

Andrew Babinski
Isn't it in two days?

Allie Selgman
I've had a week, Andrew, and then I had a week before that.

Andrew Babinski
Yeah. So you had two weeks to wait for.

Allie Selgman
No, I'm probably gonna go cash.

Kim Commando
But you know what?

Allie Selgman
We'll see if he wants.

Kim Commando
I have a graduation announcement sitting on my desk right now for my nephew. And I'm just saying, like, you know, Amazon gift card. But you know, what I have to do is I have to. I have to actually reach out to his mom and dad and say, okay, here's the deal. How much did I give his brother?

Andrew Babinski
Yeah.

Allie Selgman
Yeah, that's good.

Andrew Babinski
It could be 200 to 150 to the other. That's game over. I know.

Kim Commando
Exactly.

Andrew Babinski
We knew who Kim loves more.

Kim Commando
Or, you know what I could do is buy him a whole bunch of lottery tickets, scratch it off, and send to them, say, hey, sorry. This is life. You lost in the real world.

Andrew Babinski
My niece just graduated, and I went and got her a Visa gift card because it's easier to buy stuff online if you have the Visa gift card.

Allie Selgman
Oh, that's true. Yeah.

Andrew Babinski
I was at cv's. I don't know if I can say the name of the store because of what the guy did. I went up and he scans it. He's like, oh, my gosh. There's a seven dollar activation fee for this. That's too expensive. And he gave me the graduation card for free.

Kim Commando
What a guy.

Allie Selgman
I love that.

Andrew Babinski
It was awesome.

Kim Commando
I do love that. That's a great one. Well, where is that Steve? Yes. Okay.

Andrew Babinski
Getting fired.

Kim Commando
Oh. So what do we. What are we talking about today? What do you have?

Andrew Babinski
We have Amazon tribe. That's been remote forever.

Kim Commando
Incredible story.

Andrew Babinski
They finally got the Internet, and we're gonna find out how it's going, how.

Kim Commando
Much they love it.

Allie Selgman
I love it.

Kim Commando
What do you have?

Allie Selgman
Everybody knows love languages, right? We'll talk about them.

Kim Commando
But there's cash gifts.

Allie Selgman
There's also apology languages. So how you say sorry to someone? There are different types. So we're gonna find out what ours are.

Kim Commando
And I have what I think is the funniest joke at the end. Oh, I mean, this might go down as, like, one of the jokes where you're like, that Kim commando is so funny.

Andrew Babinski
You're building a lot of hype for it. We know what's coming. Just creepy.

Kim Commando
I'm just saying it's gonna be really good. I mean, you're gonna wanna stay around to the end.

Andrew Babinski
Unrealistic expectations.

Kim Commando
Well. And we are giving away that iPhone.

Andrew Babinski
Oh, yeah, it's coming.

Kim Commando
It's almost, it's all, well, it's all. It was over.

Andrew Babinski
It was over.

Kim Commando
But then we said, no, it wasn't over because we've been keep promoting it. So now it is officially going to be over in like a couple of days.

Andrew Babinski
Okay?

Kim Commando
So now is the time for you to enter to win@winfromkim.com. win from Kim.com. you're going to win an iPhone for me.

Andrew Babinski
We understand. I'm just mad that you're not going to give us $100,000 so we can get clicks.

You'll get it right back.

Andrew Babinski
Yeah.

Kim Commando
How ugly is Andrew?

Andrew Babinski
Pretty.

Kim Commando
Pretty ugly. Just kidding. Just kidding. All right, here are the top five things you need to know. What's happening in the world of tech right now. And guess what? Scammers. They're out again.

Andrew Babinski
No surprise.

Kim Commando
I know.

Allie Selgman
What are they doing?

Kim Commando
They are posing as legitimate companies and also recruiting agencies. And they're saying, like, we have the best job for you. Ever. You know, all you have to do.

Andrew Babinski
Is like, my boss is really mean. She just called me ugly.

Kim Commando
I need to find a new job, analyze a webpage. Okay. You can take a look at search results and tell us, you know, how Google search is doing.

Allie Selgman
Great, okay.

Kim Commando
And then we're gonna pay you in.

Andrew Babinski
Cryptocurrency, which is most legitimate jobs do.

Kim Commando
And then. Then you get to sign on. You're like, oh, wow, this is really great. Look how much my money is going up that I've earned by doing these fake jobs. And then they say, oh, well, don't you want to put more money into this account? Because it's going so well? And you're like, yes. I mean, I'm getting, like, a 22% return on my money. So then you start giving them money, which, of course, isn't a fake account, and this is a long con for them.

Andrew Babinski
Literally, someone has to work a full work week before you then give them the return, and then they give you the money.

Kim Commando
I know. Doing crap jobs. That doesn't matter.

Allie Selgman
I like the fake manager being like, I have to go through all this.

Andrew Babinski
Sorry, we're gonna have to let you go. We're not gonna be able to steal from you.

Kim Commando
You know what I'm putting in this? That you talking about a fake manager. I'm putting this in the newsletter for tomorrow that there's a company ascension or. No, not ascension. It's something else. Like, something like the sauna or something like that. Okay. And they have come up with AI bosses.

Allie Selgman
Oh, no.

Kim Commando
So an AI boss is going to sit in, like, the corner of your screen and pop up and say things like, ally, you're running a little late on the newsletter today.

Andrew Babinski
No.

Allie Selgman
Andrew, I hate this.

Kim Commando
Andrew, it looks like you weren't so funny today. Were you down?

Andrew Babinski
I'd love for AI to judge my humor.

Kim Commando
Yes.

Andrew Babinski
No one wants to be micromanaged like that.

Allie Selgman
No one.

Andrew Babinski
Absolutely not.

Allie Selgman
That seems awful.

Andrew Babinski
You know, I host a radio show every single day in Phoenix on 99.

Kim Commando
Nine K. Oh, he's got to get.

Andrew Babinski
That in an iHeartradio station. And we have a rule. No bosses in studio. During Showtime from five to ten, you can't come in the studio. Because even if we said the stupidest thing or the dumbest thing or do something wrong, 1001 come in and yell at us, that's fine, but not while we're working. No one wants to be micromanaged like that.

Kim Commando
That is a good rule.

Allie Selgman
That is a good rule.

Andrew Babinski
Yeah.

Kim Commando
That is a good rule. Okay, I'll leave now.

Andrew Babinski
Bye, Kim.

Allie Selgman
Have a good day.

Kim Commando
All right. Coming in at number two, olympics has fallen.

Andrew Babinski
What happened?

Kim Commando
Well, it's a fake documentary narrated by a fake Tom Cruise.

Andrew Babinski
Is this available to stream?

Kim Commando
And it's actually just russian propaganda.

Andrew Babinski
Oh, is it?

Kim Commando
Yeah, that's all it is. They say some giveaways is that Tom talks about a hockey match.

Andrew Babinski
Yeah.

Kim Commando
Instead of a hockey game.

Allie Selgman
Sure.

Kim Commando
That's some tomfoolery right there.

Andrew Babinski
Did you watch the fake AI Tom Cruise documentary on Amazon prime? It's 100% produced voice over written about Tom Cruise, but by artificial intelligence. It's one of the worst movies ever made. It's awful.

Allie Selgman
Have you watched it?

Andrew Babinski
40 minutes.

Allie Selgman
That's a long time.

Kim Commando
I was hoping that you were gonna tell me that it was actually not too bad.

Andrew Babinski
No, it's awful. It's absolutely awful. And it's just. They take clips from the Internet. You can see the YouTube browser at the bottom.

Kim Commando
How did that end up on Amazon?

Andrew Babinski
Because Amazon doesn't care. They let you just post whatever you want. It's just on Prime Video.

Kim Commando
Wow.

Andrew Babinski
It's just up there.

Allie Selgman
It's going to be one of many, it sounds like.

Andrew Babinski
Oh, yeah, a movie about Kim. Give us $100,000 so we can go.

Kim Commando
Yes, exactly.

Andrew Babinski
Fake magnet fishing.

Allie Selgman
It's actually a heist story with me and stealing the.

Andrew Babinski
We're going to run off to.

Kim Commando
You know, it must be really hard to date online. Yeah, I mean, because it's just. I read these stories and I have to pass them along just because if anybody's dating online, I want to make sure, like, they're safe. So, like, this 33 year old guy in Pennsylvania, he was busted for burglary and stalking a woman that he met online. After she dumped him, and then she blocked him, he went full creep mode, shutting off her power, messing with her Internet, put a gps tracker on her car. Scary cops arrested him. He took the psychopath.

Allie Selgman
You're really on one today, aren't you?

Andrew Babinski
You wanna take two on that one?

Kim Commando
That was good. This was all coming at number four.

Andrew Babinski
That's horrible, though.

Allie Selgman
I know.

Kim Commando
It is horrible. Coming at number four. Is that a really expensive street in southern California?

Andrew Babinski
Every street in California.

Kim Commando
Yeah, that's true. Do you know the average house in California is like, $940,000?

Allie Selgman
Sounds about right.

Andrew Babinski
Depressing.

Allie Selgman
That's awful. Yeah.

Kim Commando
And then, plus your taxes. I mean, it's a horrible state. Really is.

Andrew Babinski
I love that. That's right there. That's the TikTok video.

Allie Selgman
Hello to everyone in California. We love you so much.

Kim Commando
I know. I love the people. California is a beautiful state.

Andrew Babinski
Right?

Kim Commando
Okay.

Andrew Babinski
It's just expensive.

Kim Commando
But it's so expensive.

Andrew Babinski
Yeah.

Kim Commando
And, I mean, I know because I pay. I pay California real estate taxes on two homes.

Andrew Babinski
Oh, my God. Well, one's a rental, and when you live in. Right. Or they. Both.

Kim Commando
Both.

Andrew Babinski
Oh, really?

Kim Commando
Yes.

Andrew Babinski
That's awful.

Kim Commando
Right? I mean, well, you could say Ian's the renter, but.

Andrew Babinski
Yeah, we know how that works when your kid is renting from you.

Kim Commando
There you go.

Andrew Babinski
You just need to find some beachfront property in, like, Iowa or something.

Kim Commando
Exactly.

Andrew Babinski
It'll be a lot cheaper.

Kim Commando
Yeah. I could go to a lake.

Andrew Babinski
Mm hmm. Not the same.

Kim Commando
Not the same thing. All right, so what they found was it looked like two rocks that were put together with duct tape, and it was sitting on somebody's yard front. Yellow, rather. And when upon closer inspection, they took the rocks apart and they found cameras in there that were recording everything that was happening on the street. People coming and going, people coming and going. And then it was all recording on an SD card. And so it didn't have to have Wi Fi or cellular or anything like that. So what they think it was is the chilean gangs are now putting out camouflage cameras so that this way they know when people are coming, going. Cause we all pretty much have, like, kind of a standard scale.

Andrew Babinski
Right. They're learning the rhythm of the neighborhood.

Kim Commando
Exactly.

Allie Selgman
So these guys always have new tactics.

Kim Commando
They do, don't they?

Allie Selgman
They're an innovative bunch.

Andrew Babinski
I would have loved to have been at that meeting. Like, how are we gonna hide the cameras? What if we tape some rocks together?

Allie Selgman
That's great, Jen.

Kim Commando
You're getting a raise with duct tape. And just put it on the front yard.

Andrew Babinski
Chuck him in the yard. No, it'll notice.

Kim Commando
Finally, this coming in at number five. I just saw this number. $2 trillion. Okay.

Andrew Babinski
That's what you want to put in the safe that we're going to go magnet fishing for?

Kim Commando
You're going to have to find somebody else, buddy. Just telling you there's going to be a big safe. That's a big magnet. Where's Elon? Oh, no. He doesn't have that much money. Can't believe still that X is going to be a porn site. Should we get off of X?

Andrew Babinski
Do you use it?

Kim Commando
I think we're going to stop things. I think we should get off of it.

Allie Selgman
But do you get reactions? Not really.

Andrew Babinski
Do you get clicks?

Kim Commando
Click through?

Allie Selgman
No, not enough to matter.

Andrew Babinski
If you're not getting anyone to click.

Kim Commando
Through, then, yeah, I think we're going to move to threads. I was on my list to talk to you today. We just had a meeting. We just had a meeting. We just had a meeting.

Andrew Babinski
Good job.

Allie Selgman
This is why you don't have bosses in the show.

Andrew Babinski
This podcast is now tax deductible because you guys worked through it.

Kim Commando
Exactly $2 trillion in sales. That's since the iPhone was released in 2007. 2 trillion. And so there was this guy. Remember this? I looked it up. His name was, let's see, David Platt. David Platt. And he said back in 2007, listen to this. That the iPhone would crash in flames. Okay. For the following three reasons. And he was a tech, big tech router. The iPhone ignores the main reasons for the iPod success. Simplicity and ease of use. That was number one. Number two, why the iPhone would just crash and burn. As he said, it crams too many functions into a single device.

Andrew Babinski
Too many.

Allie Selgman
Too useful.

Kim Commando
Difficult to use multiple functions simultaneously. Finally, this coming in at number three, users will detest the touchscreen interface due to its lack of tactile feedback.

Andrew Babinski
Ooh, I do remember my first iPhone. I was like, wow, this is so much tactile feedback.

Allie Selgman
No, not enough. Where's all my tactile feedback?

Kim Commando
And he closed by saying, the only question remaining is because I looked it up. The only question remaining is if, when the iPod iPhone fails, will it take the iPod with it?

Allie Selgman
You know what, though? All his points were kind of real things that got fixed over time. Because now you click with your finger, right? And there's that little buzz.

Andrew Babinski
I did the same exact.

Allie Selgman
They have better multitasking. I mean, he was wrong, but I.

Andrew Babinski
Told you the story, right?

Kim Commando
What?

Andrew Babinski
I used to produce your husband's talk show.

Kim Commando
Yes.

Andrew Babinski
It was a news talk. And we get a call from this guy. He's like, hey, did I ever told you this? I just got an iPhone, and this thing is literally the coolest thing on the planet. I want to go on the air. I'm like, iPhone's stupid. It'll never work. No one will ever buy it. Hung up on him, calls back a couple days later. I got to get on the air. I got to talk to Barry. I got to tell him about the iPhone. It is amazing. No, the iPhone's stupid. Hung up on him. So, like, four months later, I go on the air talking about how I just bought an iPhone, and it's the coolest thing ever. He calls, he's like, put me on the air right now and apologize to me. And I did. He absolutely did. So I was in the same boat I would never last.

Kim Commando
No, I remember at the iPhone, I was like, this is game changer.

Andrew Babinski
But it wasn't a game changer until you had it in your hand.

Allie Selgman
That's true.

Andrew Babinski
And so we went from concept to reality. It was totally different. Cause I felt the same way. I'm like, who needs a computer in their pocket?

Allie Selgman
Do you remember what your phone was right before the iPhone? Like what?

Kim Commando
Just the Motorola razor pink.

Andrew Babinski
Ooh, little one.

Allie Selgman
I had a palm pre.

Andrew Babinski
I had the slide up one.

Kim Commando
You had a palm pre? Wow.

Allie Selgman
Like a little business.

Kim Commando
Yeah, you were.

Andrew Babinski
No blackberries. None of us were BlackBerry people.

Allie Selgman
I had a pearl at one point.

Andrew Babinski
Yeah, I had a BlackBerry at once, but I had no, I had the sidekick. Remember the sidekick?

Kim Commando
Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Allie Selgman
I always wanted that, but we didn't need it.

Kim Commando
You know what? They sent that to us free the sidekick. Yeah. Cause I remember, I think they sent it to me and I think I gave it to you.

Andrew Babinski
You gave me two phones from team. Why is that funny?

Allie Selgman
Because this was so long ago.

Andrew Babinski
Oh, yeah, you gave me the sidekick, which I used, and then a phone that was like this big. Remember that one that literally flip was maybe half an inch wide?

Allie Selgman
Are you kidding?

Andrew Babinski
No. And it was a flip flown, and you gave us that one. Ainsley, my wife at the time, she used that one for a couple of years.

Allie Selgman
That's incredible. I wish I had that today.

Kim Commando
So two. So let's do this. So it's. So let's say the average iPhone is $1,000. You have $2 trillion worth.

Andrew Babinski
Do they count all the sales from the original where the cell phone company paid the price of the phone and we just got it for free?

Kim Commando
No, that's not included.

Andrew Babinski
That's not including the two.

Kim Commando
They're just saying that they sold $2 trillion worth of iPhone.

Andrew Babinski
Wow. Okay.

Allie Selgman
In like consumer sales.

Kim Commando
And so for you. So it's thousand dollars, 2 trillion. So that means they sold 2 billion phones worldwide.

Allie Selgman
That's a lot of phones.

Kim Commando
Yeah. Did you notice how fast I just did that?

Allie Selgman
That was good math. Did you figure that out earlier?

Kim Commando
No. Why would you say such a thing? You know, I mean, like, you know, 85% of people in America, they don't know basic math. I'm just part of the other 25%.

Andrew Babinski
The chosen few.

Kim Commando
Yes. Now somebody's gonna say.

Andrew Babinski
85 plus 25.

Kim Commando
That's what's gonna happen.

Andrew Babinski
Oh, yeah.

Kim Commando
You are just gonna be like, ah, she went to public school.

Hey, it's Kim commando. Today it's your fun podcast about all things digital. Just a reminder that if you're looking for the Kim show, we now have that available commercial free over on Apple podcasts and Spotify. You know, that's the big three hour show. That's where we have some guests. And also it's very caller driven. And, you know, and now there are 4 hours of the Kim commando show. I don't know if you realize this. Yeah, we do 4 hours, and so it doesn't when it translates to commercial for. It's not exactly 4 hours. Right.

Andrew Babinski
Of course you gotta pause the commercials.

Kim Commando
But, you know, Friday night, if you're in Chicagoland, I do the extra hour at 07:00 p.m. if you're in Atlanta, it airs on WSB at 05:00 p.m. and some big news. You know, our ratings on that 07:00 p.m. hour in Chicago went up 95%.

Allie Selgman
That's great.

Andrew Babinski
Does any station play the 4 hours straight start to finish?

Kim Commando
No. You know what they're really using the extra hour for is to kind of a lead in to say you can hear the rest. You can hear the whole show.

Andrew Babinski
So it's like a promo for the weekend show.

Kim Commando
I'm really excited about that.

Andrew Babinski
That's awesome.

Kim Commando
And, you know, and the 1 hour in Atlanta, I don't want to. I mean, the numbers are just crazy, right? I mean, 1 hour in WSB, it's like, I don't know, 50,000 people.

Andrew Babinski
Wow.

Kim Commando
Wow.

Andrew Babinski
That's awesome.

Allie Selgman
Hello, new friends.

Kim Commando
Yes, I know. Exactly. And so if you want to get all that fun and excitement, it's Apple podcasts or Spotify. Of course. You can always join the commando community. And it's like I always say, we have discounts for everything. So just whatever box it is, just check the box. You are like EMT. I don't care.

Allie Selgman
We don't check.

Kim Commando
If you're over 30, you can be a senior.

Allie Selgman
Sentient being done.

Kim Commando
Doesn't matter. You know your pronouns. We don't care. Doesn't matter. Anybody?

Allie Selgman
Anybody.

Kim Commando
All right. This story is amazing.

Andrew Babinski
It's crazy, right?

Kim Commando
It is crazy. And, you know, because I've been to the Amazon and did you go see visit this tribe? No, but I can't believe this story you have to tell it.

Andrew Babinski
So there's this tribe that was just secluded. They were remote, had really no connection with the outside world, western culture. And all of a sudden, there were people that were coming in. They started talking to them, working with them, helping them with the things that they needed in their community, gained their trust. And they said, hey, you ever heard of the Internet? And they had. They knew what they were talking about. And they're like, there's this guy. His name's Elon Musk, and he has this company. It's called Starlink. If we funded it and we got you some Starlink boxes and we got everybody a phone or a device to connect to the Internet, would you be interested? And the tribe was a little hesitant to begin with. Then they told them all the virtues, and they saw the virtues right away. This happened nine months ago where they got the Internet, and right away they literally said lives in this tribe were saved because of the Starlink device, because.

Kim Commando
They'Re able to look up, like rattlesnake bites.

Andrew Babinski
Correct.

Kim Commando
Whatever.

Andrew Babinski
Maybe access to information, access to emergency medication, emergency care, if they need it.

Kim Commando
This is a big tribe. We're talking about 2000 people, and they all have the same last name.

Andrew Babinski
I know, which is interesting.

Allie Selgman
Oh, my gosh.

Andrew Babinski
Especially when you're reading the article talking about this. Everybody's quoted as the same name.

Kim Commando
Manuba.

Andrew Babinski
Manuba. Same person.

Kim Commando
It's like, how are they all related?

Andrew Babinski
So they saw positives right away, but now we're nine months in, and they think maybe possibly their culture has been lost forever.

Allie Selgman
Oh, my gosh.

Andrew Babinski
It started with the younger people. They got on the devices. They started going on social media. They started chatting and communicating, and what they stopped doing was working. They stopped planting food. They stopped hunting.

Kim Commando
They have to hunt. Yes. They gotta hunt for their own food.

Andrew Babinski
And they're just sitting around on their phones all day long.

Allie Selgman
Well, how are they getting food?

Andrew Babinski
They are not. They're going without.

Kim Commando
That's what the older people in the tribe are saying. Like you're saying. Like, you know what? We are hunters. We are gatherers. We are gardeners.

Andrew Babinski
And if you don't do that, if you don't contribute, just don't eat.

Kim Commando
Yes.

Andrew Babinski
You don't get the fruits of the labor because you're not putting in any other labor.

Kim Commando
They don't care. They're sitting there scrolling on their phone.

Andrew Babinski
They're also looking at the culture of, you know, America and Europe, and they're starting to emulate it, they're starting to act like it. And that's where they're like, this is our identity. Our identity of our tribe is already, just nine months in, is already being lost. The other group that's affected is young men. Immediately, you know, I see the eyes.

Allie Selgman
See this coming from my.

Andrew Babinski
They got on, they started chatting, and they found porn. And this is a culture that you cannot hold hands, kiss in public, is shunned upon. And now they're seeing men being more sexually aggressive. They're worried that the things that they're seeing online that they're going to emulate when it comes to sex and relationships.

Kim Commando
You know, and the women, they don't. They're not covered up top.

Andrew Babinski
Correct. The female body is not sexualized like it is in pornography.

Allie Selgman
Right, right.

Andrew Babinski
And now this message is being communicated to these men also. Violent games, violent movies, violent videos. They're. They're worried that this is going to have an instant impact on that age range and that gender in the tribe.

Kim Commando
It was amazing to me. Just nine months.

Andrew Babinski
Isn't that crazy?

Allie Selgman
If you ever actually thought, maybe technology's not that addictive, maybe they don't make it.

Andrew Babinski
No, just nine months.

Allie Selgman
Nine months. It has changed their entire life.

Andrew Babinski
And we've also had this conversation in America. Does, you know, is media affecting how we think and act? Is the violent movie going to cause someone to be violent? And we're seeing a culture that never had it, it being mirrored like that.

Kim Commando
So, you know, I went down the Amazon river, and, and you have to. It's a whole different environment. I mean, it's kind of like, you can talk about it. You can see pictures, but when you're there, I mean, you have to. The boat has to go to, like, the left side of the Amazon because in the middle of the Amazon river, there's, like, bodies and, and animals. I mean, you know, just. And then, then you go back. You go deep into the Amazon forest. I mean, where it is dark because of the canopy of the trees.

Allie Selgman
It's so dense.

Kim Commando
Yes. And, and so I think I told you guys the story, but so I went to the tour guide, and I said, you know, I want to. I want to show Ian, you know, where, like, the real people live. And so he's. I said, I want him to see a school. And so he's like, okay, you have to bring a gift. And I said, well, you know where we're going to get anything? And I said, you know, I said, ian has, like, some school supplies and so could I bring those? So we bring those. And then Ian outgrew a pair of shoes. Cause, like, you know, this is like when he's, like, 13. I mean, it's like, on the trip. Yeah. You look at him and you're like, he just went from, like, being five two to, like, five nine, and you're like, okay, what happened? He outgrew a pair of shoes. So he brought the shoes. And because they're all. They were barefoot. And I mean, in the Amazon river, they. They bathe, they defecate, they use that water to cook. I mean, you know, it's really very, very primitive. And in this, in the school, it was just a dirt floor. And with kids anywhere from three to 18 in one room with one teacher, I mean, it's very, very primitive. And, you know, they didn't have electricity. They don't have running water. One of the guys who greeted me, he was 15, and he had a three year old right next to him. And I said, oh, is that your brother? He's like, no, that's my son. I'm like, oh, okay. I mean, because you don't expect that. And then his wife, and she's pregnant again. And, you know, but just that thought.

Andrew Babinski
Right there, that thought where you were shocked by the fact that a 15 year old had. That means a twelve year old created human life. That is a western culture thought. And now that they have access to the Internet, they may think getting pregnant at 14 is a negative instead of a positive, which is in their culture. It's going to shift them completely.

Kim Commando
And so I. So I went to the next day, I went to the tour guide, said, you know, that was all fun, but I really want to see a real village that has not been touched where, you know, they don't have. Where the kids are not wearing, like, Adidas shirts or whatever it may be, because the kids were wearing Adidas shirts and things. And he's like, okay, well, yeah, I'll get back to you. So he. Next day, he's like, okay, I found. I found the tribe. Now, keep in mind the Amazon river. You and I, we cannot put our finger in the Amazon river because we'll get sick.

Allie Selgman
Yeah, okay.

Kim Commando
And, I mean, we had to get all kinds of shots, and we had. I had medicine with us and all this other stuff. I mean, I carried peanut butter cups so that this way we could eat. And so we. So we go down to the bottom of the boat. We're gonna get, like, on a kodiak. And the guy, like, puts all, like, this gear on us, like, you know, gloves, boots, everything, and, you know, even, like, a windshield, so, like, none of the water would come into our face. And so Ian and I go with this tour guide, like, 15 minutes on the zodiac boat, and we get to, like, this cove, and we get off the Zodiac, and there's, like, a group of people probably, like, maybe, I don't know, 1520 people there, and they were all there to greet us.

Andrew Babinski
They knew you were coming.

Kim Commando
Okay, exactly. People were, like, looking at me because. And I said to the guy, said, what are they looking at? He goes, they've never seen a blonde woman before.

Allie Selgman
Oh, my gosh.

Kim Commando
Because they're looking at my hair, like, going, where did that come from? And then this woman comes up to me, and she's like, probably, like, 60 and very. Just beautiful woman, because, you know, they have beautiful skin. And she looks at me, she's like, ya da mama yama dada. And she's like. And I have no idea what she's saying. And I'm like, okay, I do the same thing back. I put my, like, I'm praying, and I'm, like, bowing down and bowing down, and Ian's, like, looking, like, going, what are we doing here? I'm like, just bear with me. And so then the tour guide starts laughing, and I. And I said. He goes, we gotta go. And I said, wait, we just got here, right? He's like, no, we gotta go. He said, she just said that you are a beautiful woman and a very muscular woman. She can tell, and therefore, you're gonna be a tasty woman.

Allie Selgman
Are you kidding me?

Andrew Babinski
Wow.

Kim Commando
And I said, we gotta go. And Ian's like, mom, we gotta get out of here. And then I said, you're kidding me, right? And he goes, no, no, no. He said, no, I goes, I'm not kidding you. He said, you have to. He said, you have to go right now. He said, I thought that they. And then he looked at me, like, in all serious. I thought they stopped that whole cannibalism thing here.

Andrew Babinski
Oopsie daisy.

Kim Commando
I know. So that's another travel adventure. Fun time with Kev Kim.

Allie Selgman
Almost got eat.

Kim Commando
Exactly.

Hey, it's Kim Commando. Today, it's your fun podcast. Just a reminder, you want to, like, comment, share, and follow us wherever you are on social media. Except for x. Cause I think we're gonna get off of x because we're going Triple X. That whole. Yes, triple X.

Andrew Babinski
Well, this follows your I don't like Elon Musk narrative that you got off of Twitter.

Allie Selgman
She doesn't like Tesla.

Kim Commando
You know what? I love Starlink.

Andrew Babinski
Yeah.

Kim Commando
I think he's doing a phenomenal job with Starlink. I have Starlink several places.

Andrew Babinski
Oh, really?

Kim Commando
Yes. And it works amazing. It does. And I think SpaceX. Incredible. I think what he's doing with Norlink is commendable. I just think that, as a human being, that he should be giving more back to society.

Andrew Babinski
Told you.

Allie Selgman
I mean, she's right. Come on.

Kim Commando
And that every time I turn around, Tesla's got something wrong. The other day was. I didn't even. I don't even bother putting it in the newsletter anymore.

Andrew Babinski
Just too much.

Kim Commando
No, because, like, 125,000 cars recalled because the seat belt doesn't work. That was like the. That was the other day.

Andrew Babinski
Seat belts aren't that necessary, are they?

Kim Commando
Not in a self driving car. They're gonna die anyway. What do you got out?

Allie Selgman
Love languages. Do you two know yours? Do you need me to go through the list?

Andrew Babinski
Sure.

Allie Selgman
Okay. So the idea of love languages is, basically, we all have specific ways that we like to be loved and cared for and things that mean the most to us. Okay? They are acts of service. So someone doing something for you.

Andrew Babinski
So I've been told that that's the way I show love, is that if I care for someone, I'll come over and I'll mount ten tvs and not even think about it, because that's. I care for you, and I want to support you, and that's how I show.

Allie Selgman
It's both. It goes both ways. So it's the way you show.

Kim Commando
Okay.

Allie Selgman
And that it might be different. Right. The way you like to be shown love might be different from the way you show love. For a lot of people, they cross over. But. So, acts of service, doing things, receiving gifts, self explanatory. Quality time.

Andrew Babinski
Yes.

Allie Selgman
Words.

Andrew Babinski
That would be mine.

Allie Selgman
Yeah. Words of affirmation and physical touch. Men are generally. Men usually are. Physical touch. And then something else.

Andrew Babinski
I was gonna say quality time and service.

Kim Commando
Okay.

Allie Selgman
Receiving gifts.

Kim Commando
I like that.

Allie Selgman
Quality time. I like that. Quality time. Words of affirmation and physical touch. I'm an acts of service. Words of affirmation.

Andrew Babinski
Person for yourself.

Allie Selgman
Do stuff for me.

Andrew Babinski
Okay.

Allie Selgman
Tell me I'm lovely.

Andrew Babinski
Okay.

Allie Selgman
Yeah, that's what I want.

Kim Commando
I like that. I like the gifts.

Andrew Babinski
Are you being serious?

Kim Commando
No.

Andrew Babinski
Okay.

Kim Commando
No, I think I'm access service. I like quality time.

Andrew Babinski
Yeah, quality time is important.

Allie Selgman
That's a good one. Well, it's not just love languages. Something called apology languages, which, I'm sorry. Uh huh. Apology languages. All over the Internet right now. Same thing. There are five different types. It's how you like to receive an apology. Okay, we're gonna go through them.

Andrew Babinski
No, I'm focusing. I've never heard of this.

Kim Commando
You have a gift.

Allie Selgman
Physical touch. I'm so sorry. Okay. Number one, expressing regret. So you just say, I'm sorry. Okay. Does that feel good to you? Let's go through the rest.

Andrew Babinski
Yeah.

Allie Selgman
And see what we like.

Andrew Babinski
Wait until the end.

Allie Selgman
Accepting responsibility.

Andrew Babinski
Yeah.

Allie Selgman
Something like, I was wrong. I messed up. Making restitution. So that's the, like, making amends. How can I make this right? How can I make it up to you? Planning a change. So here's what I'm gonna do to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Kim Commando
Like that.

Allie Selgman
Or requesting forgiveness. Can you find it in your heart to forgive me? Or something like that?

Andrew Babinski
I'm a second one.

Allie Selgman
Kim doesn't like that one.

Kim Commando
I don't like.

Allie Selgman
I don't like that one either.

Kim Commando
Feels so disregulative. Yes.

Allie Selgman
Yeah.

Kim Commando
Can you. Can you ever find it in your heart to forgive me?

Allie Selgman
Could you possibly. So you like the I was wrong?

Kim Commando
Yes, I like the I was wrong. You admit that, you know, you made a mistake.

Allie Selgman
I have the can I make it right? I have mixed feelings, because sometimes that's nice, but sometimes it feels like you're putting all the pressure on the other person to say, like, no, you make it better. Tell me how to make it better.

Andrew Babinski
Correct.

Allie Selgman
I don't like that. No, no. I saw your face light up a little bit with the plant. Like, make amends. Like, here's how I'm gonna make sure this doesn't happen again.

Kim Commando
Yeah, we'll see. Because I had a situation today.

Allie Selgman
Yes.

Kim Commando
Where Ian had to apologize to me.

Allie Selgman
Okay.

Kim Commando
Okay. Well, he didn't have to. Okay. But he knew that he had.

Andrew Babinski
He'd done wrong.

Kim Commando
He done wrong. And my mama ain't happy and nobody.

Andrew Babinski
Exactly.

Kim Commando
So he came into my office and he. And I said, oh. And I said, I gotta do the pod. I got into Wls. I gotta. And I said, you know, we can talk about this later. He's like, no, stand up. And I get out of my turn. I stand up. And he gives me a big hug, and he said, I'm sorry, and I won't do it again. And I'm like, okay, I'm good with that.

Allie Selgman
That worked for you, but we're going.

Kim Commando
To talk about it later.

Allie Selgman
But you need more than that, right? And I think that's the, you know, part of this whole point, too. Is that saying a few words, that's not enough. No, for most things. Unless it's like, I accidentally stepped on Andrew's toe. Oh, I'm sorry.

Andrew Babinski
That's insignificant.

Allie Selgman
Yeah.

Andrew Babinski
Yeah. But what I don't like is I don't like an emotional apology.

Kim Commando
When's the last time you apologized?

Andrew Babinski
I apologize all the time.

Allie Selgman
Like a real one?

Kim Commando
Like a real, like. And what did you, when, what did you have to apologize for?

Allie Selgman
What'd you do?

Andrew Babinski
It would calm down.

Kim Commando
We want to know.

Allie Selgman
Tell us all the stupid stuff you've been doing.

Andrew Babinski
I can't remember. I cannot. Nothing comes to. I do all the time.

Allie Selgman
Perfect.

Andrew Babinski
I'm extremely apologetic, and I always, I also am a person. I have no issues admitting when I'm wrong. I'm wrong. I am fine with that. Doesn't happen a lot, but I'm fine with that. But I don't like an emotional apology. I don't like, I'm so sorry. I don't think that's genuine. I think that the emotion is pushing the apology. I like a straight, just flat. I did this. I'm sorry again. I won't do it again. Which is hollow, I think, because even, even if it was unintentional, you might do it again.

Kim Commando
I don't want to know what you did wrong.

Andrew Babinski
I don't remember. I don't have one.

Kim Commando
Where's Jennifer?

Allie Selgman
Yeah, she'll have 54.

Kim Commando
I mean, Heather.

Andrew Babinski
How about this?

Kim Commando
Heather wouldn't be anything.

Andrew Babinski
We were at. We were in San Diego, and my son was exhausted. It was the end of the day, but we had family plans all day long and. Can't believe I'm talking about this. And the end of the last thing of the family plan was to go out for ice cream. And my daughter immediately knew what she wanted. It was this really expensive, really expensive tourist trap. Ice cream place. We're talking like a cone was $12. Oh, yeah, tourist trap. So I said, what do you want? And he's like, cookies and cream. And it's a long line. I'm like, great. Cookies and cream. And he goes, no. And I'm like, what is it? And I just turned around, and I was speaking fast, and I was speaking loud, so he thought I was yelling at him.

Allie Selgman
Yeah.

Andrew Babinski
And I was just like, what do you want? What do you want? And he's like, nothing. I don't even want anything. And then he just broke. But it would have been a long day. He was exhausted. He's a child. And I just got down, like, just tell me what you want and I'll get it for you. You. And that pushed it over the top, where he even thought I was being more aggressive, but I was just trying to hurry things along. Again, my fault. I pulled him aside. We sat down, just the two of us. Everybody's eating ice cream. It's just the two of us. And I apologize. That's not the way I should handle it. I was trying to help you. I was trying to be a problem solver, but I was aggressive. I was loud. I was talking fast. I'm so sorry. And then he broke down, and we embraced each other and he cried. He was exhausted.

Allie Selgman
Yeah, we're all sensitive and we're tired.

Andrew Babinski
And then he wiped his tears, and he's like, bubble gum. I just want bubble gum. And we got back in line. We got bubble gum, and we were all good.

Allie Selgman
You're a good dad, Andrew.

Andrew Babinski
I am.

Kim Commando
That's gonna cost you at least $2,000 in therapy. I just wanted to let you know.

Allie Selgman
They worked out the whole thing.

Kim Commando
That $12 Cohen's.

Andrew Babinski
I'm telling you, he's level enough to point it out. He told.

Kim Commando
That was.

Andrew Babinski
You were being loud. You were talking fast. You were yelling at me. I was like. I was yelling at you, but I get what you're saying. I get your point of view.

Kim Commando
I know. I felt the same way. You've done that to me.

Andrew Babinski
Shut up.

Kim Commando
Shut up. Oh. I'd like to apologize to anyone I have not yet offended.

Andrew Babinski
It'll happen.

Kim Commando
Hey, it's Kim Cabado. Today we just have a great time doing the podcast, and we sure hope that you love listening and watching to it as well. And so just a quick reminder, is that in order for us to grow the podcast, you need to tell one person, right?

Andrew Babinski
Yeah, just one.

Kim Commando
Just one.

Andrew Babinski
You don't even have to tell them, though. You don't have to have physical.

Kim Commando
Oh, no.

Andrew Babinski
You don't have to make eye contact. Just share the link.

Kim Commando
Yes.

Andrew Babinski
That's all you have to do.

Allie Selgman
You can just whisper Kim commando today.

Andrew Babinski
You don't have to do that, you.

Kim Commando
Know, and if you're like in a group or a company slack channel, just put the link in there. Nothing else.

Andrew Babinski
No, it's a great idea. Just throw it in there and they're like, what's this? And just change the topic immediately.

Kim Commando
Exactly. We don't care. It doesn't matter who the person is.

Andrew Babinski
They'll watch and they'll be like, hey, thanks for sending me that link. I appreciate it.

Kim Commando
It's a fun show, you know, and I still have that great joke at the end. I know we're running out of time, but we have to. I've got to get to that joke.

Andrew Babinski
Do you want to just go do it now?

Kim Commando
No. Cause I want to hear about Tokyo.

Andrew Babinski
Oh, in Tokyo, the birth rate is the lowest it's ever been in modern time.

Kim Commando
It's because they have a lot of the sex houses.

Andrew Babinski
It's dropped. I'm glazing over that. It dropped 5% from last year. And the government's like, we need people. I don't know if you guys know this, but we need people. And for us to have people, you guys got to get together. So they have a solution. A government backed dating app?

Allie Selgman
No.

Kim Commando
Yes.

Andrew Babinski
There's going to be some requirements. First of all, you have to submit your income. And when I read that, I was like, what? But I guess it's like it's customary over there.

Kim Commando
I think it is. You know what it is?

Allie Selgman
There's probably not as much disparity here as here. Right.

Andrew Babinski
It's going to help them push people in the same ses towards each other because that's in, you know, their culture. That's something that is attractive, is where we're at the same spot. So we're gonna be good. Yeah. Also, you have to be single. You legally have to prove you're single.

Kim Commando
That's good.

Andrew Babinski
No married guys. No married. This is not Ashley Madison situation.

Allie Selgman
Sure.

Andrew Babinski
And the third thing is that you have to sign a commitment that you want to get married.

Allie Selgman
Wow.

Andrew Babinski
Because they don't want a bunch of babies out of wedlock.

Kim Commando
No.

Andrew Babinski
So they want these people that are going to date to end up to marry and then create human beings it's a government backed dating app.

Allie Selgman
Okay, hear me out. I think people in the US. Not backed by the government. If it was a private company, I think people in the US would sign up for that. People who are serious about starting a family, they really want to date.

Andrew Babinski
Okay. What about the financial part?

Allie Selgman
Sure. If you're going to get. I think so.

Andrew Babinski
Maybe if you're going to. People lie about their height. People post pictures from 1974 on, their current 2024. You think they're going to be honest about how much they make?

Allie Selgman
Maybe you have to prove it. Maybe you have to, like, give your w two or something.

Andrew Babinski
Yeah, that would be so humiliating for some people. I especially think men. I think men think that's way more important than women. Men would not be attracted to a woman if she made 30, 40,000 more dollars than him.

Allie Selgman
Well, then maybe it's the same thing where you say, I'm comfortable with someone who makes more than me. I'm not. I want someone who makes the same or less or whatever.

Andrew Babinski
So maybe not visible to all users, but help with the filtering in the background.

Allie Selgman
Yeah, of course.

Andrew Babinski
Yeah, that's fair.

Allie Selgman
Also, I want to filter if it's like, this guy doesn't want to date me because I make more than him, is like, no, he's out. That's so lame.

Kim Commando
Yeah, exactly.

Andrew Babinski
Yeah. I mean, it is lame, but it happens every single day on daddy ops. Every single day.

Kim Commando
Really?

Andrew Babinski
Oh, yeah. Money's a big thing, and it's hard when you're, you know, I've been single for three years now, but on a lot of first dates, it's hard to breach that conversation.

Kim Commando
Right.

Allie Selgman
That's what I was gonna say. I've been married for a million years, so I don't know, like, how soon into dating does that come up?

Andrew Babinski
You know what? It's months, probably, or it'll come out like, you know, you'll say something. I. I'm going on vacation to Hawaii. Well, that is a sign. So there's your financial position.

Kim Commando
Yes, but I'm going on my yacht.

Allie Selgman
Sure. Versus, like, I have to go hatch my dinghy.

Andrew Babinski
I can't decide which car I want to take.

Kim Commando
I was actually talking to somebody, and he's not gonna say who is what his name is. I was just. We're having conversations like this. Like, you know, I'm thinking this summer I'm going to my. My chalet in Switzerland.

Andrew Babinski
Oh.

Kim Commando
And I'm sitting there thinking, like, how many people have you ever met that said, I'm going to my ski chalet this summer.

Allie Selgman
Zero.

Andrew Babinski
I've met exactly zero.

Allie Selgman
That was the first time I've heard that.

Kim Commando
That was nutso. Just a quick reminder, it's your last chance to enter to win the iPhone. Winfromkim.com dot. Winfromkim.com dot. Okay, you ready for the best joke ever? You're gonna. It's so good. You're just gonna laugh and laugh.

Andrew Babinski
This is definitely not too much hype.

Kim Commando
Laugh.

Allie Selgman
Perfect amount.

Kim Commando
Speaking of the Tokyo dating app, a married couple goes to the hospital to have their baby. And upon their arrival, the doctor says he has invented a brand new technology patent pendant machine that's going to transfer a portion of the mother's labor pain to the father. And he asked if they were both willing to check it out. Do you know this joke?

Andrew Babinski
My daughter, my six year old daughter told me this.

Allie Selgman
No, I've never heard it. I'm ready.

Andrew Babinski
I won't look. I won't make a guy in contact.

Kim Commando
And the doctor sent the pain transfer to 10% for starters, explaining that even 10% was probably more pain than the father has ever, ever experienced before. But as the labor goes on and on, the doctor kicks it up and on. Goes to 20%. The husband says, yeah, I'm still fine. Goes to 50%. Father says, I'm fine. It goes to 75%. Meanwhile, the woman's like, going like, I'm having a baby. This is like, not a problem at all. This is great. Finally, doctor says, you know what? I'm gonna go to 100%. You sure you can handle it? And the guy's like, I can't. So they have the baby. They go home. On the front porch is the mailman, and he's dead.

Allie Selgman
Your six year old told the six.

Kim Commando
Year old dog, did she really?

Andrew Babinski
Yeah.

Allie Selgman
That is a fantastic joke.

Andrew Babinski
I don't think she understood it, but she told it to me.

Allie Selgman
You did not overhype. That's a great joke. See, I'm gonna go tell people that right now. Right now.
