Office 365.
Some Starbucks app. People who are not able to use it.
Speaker B
Wait a minute, Starbucks app runs on office 365?
Kim Commando
No, it's all running on Microsoft Azure. Oh, the cloud service.
Everything was down for like 8 hours.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
Microsoft kept trying to fix it and they kept making it worse, worse, worse, worse, worse.
Speaker B
That sounds right.
Kim Commando
Okay. And then they came out recently, I don't know, yesterday or so on. They said it wasn't a glitch. Nope, it was a cyberattack.
Speaker B
Didn't we have the same exact conversation about another Grinch on Wednesday?
Kim Commando
Yes.
Speaker B
This is deja vu all over the world.
Kim Commando
It just keeps happening. It's like every other moment there's a cyber attack.
Speaker B
And now isn't Microsoft getting sued, like, for 500 bazillion dollars?
Kim Commando
Yeah. From Delta.
Speaker B
Yeah.
Kim Commando
And I like the guy from Delta came out like, Microsoft sucks, but we love Apple and we want $500 million. You know? You know, that's. It's the whole thing. Thing with Microsoft, you know, I mean, if you don't excel.
Yeah, people. Spreadsheet.
Okay, you gotta admit that was a good one. That was a good one.
Speaker B
I'm honest. When it comes to your jokes, if they're funny, I laugh. If they're not funny, I criticize.
Kim Commando
People love my jokes.
Speaker B
I've heard you say that over and over and over again.
Kim Commando
I mean, people like, they stop me on the street. All these people, they say, oh, Kim commando.
Speaker B
You know, it's. You know what bothers me though, is that you say something like that. People like my jokes. And then in the comments, people are like, I do like your jokes just cause they wanna suck up to you.
Kim Commando
They do not. They're truly funny.
Sometimes I just. I'm like. I think of these things. I just really. I laugh out loud. Cause I just think. I mean, that was funny.
Speaker B
So that was a good one.
Kim Commando
Okay. That was a good one. You're gonna wanna use that.

Speaker B
What situation would anyone get to use that?

Speaker B
I love watching tv.
Kim Commando
Great jobs is that we put together a yacht rock playlist.
Speaker B
A yacht rock playlist?
Kim Commando
Yes. Yacht rock.
Speaker B
You're really leaning into this iona yacht thing, aren't you?
Kim Commando
Well, it's 135 songs.
Speaker B
Holy pockets.
Kim Commando
That I hand picked.
Speaker B
Really?
Kim Commando
Yes. And so if you're looking for, like, a great playlist for your barbecue, is.
Speaker B
It all actual yacht rock?
Kim Commando
What do you mean? Like, all about boats?
Speaker B
No, yacht rock is a genre of music.
Kim Commando
Yes. It's all. Yes. All right. It's all. Yeah. So it's not like yacht rock. It's like. I mean, not only about yachts.
Speaker B
Well, because people are very particular about their yacht rock. And if they're five songs in, you're, like, playing cool modi or something.
We're gonna get criticized.
Kim Commando
I did say that my yacht rock is a little bit with an edge.
Speaker B
Okay, so then that.
Kim Commando
Okay, so, like. I mean, there's, like, some weird songs in there that you wouldn't expect for yacht rock that isn't yacht rock. No.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
Okay. But you're still gonna like it.
Speaker B
All right.
Kim Commando
Like Luke Perry's fast cars. I don't really think that's not yacht rock. Not even close to yacht rock, but I think he does a great job.
Speaker B
He may. Lots of people do lots of things that aren't yacht rock and is good.
You're going to get comments. I. Trust me on this.
Kim Commando
I don't know. For some reason, I've always liked Glen Campbell's song Galveston.
Speaker B
This is not okay. That's how you got to that many songs.
Kim Commando
That's probably true.
Speaker B
And then two of the tracks on there are episodes of the Kim Commando podcast.
Kim Commando
No, they are not. But that's a good idea.
That's a really good idea. It's a damn good idea.
Speaker B
Three songs in, and then a couple of plays on the podcast. Perfect.
Kim Commando
A couple of ads.
Speaker B
Yeah.
Kim Commando
Wouldn't that be funny?
Speaker B
It would be, Kim.
Kim Commando
It would be. So when you go to YouTube.com kimcommando, just hit playlists and then hit yacht rock. Now, you see, you should just look at it.
Speaker B
I will.
Kim Commando
You know, and you should try it.
Speaker B
I'm not a huge yacht rock fan, but I do know that there's a large section of the Internet that guards their yacht rock.
Kim Commando
They do like.
Speaker B
It's their baby.
Kim Commando
Okay. Do you think sweet Carolina is yacht rock?
Speaker B
I would. No, it's nothing.
Kim Commando
I like that song.
Okay, here, wait. Here's a couple of other ones. Robbie Dupree, steal away.
Speaker B
Okay.
That's a yacht rock song.
Kim Commando
Toto from Africa.
Speaker B
I don't know about that one. I'm not the gatekeeper for yacht rock.
Kim Commando
Christopher cross sailing.
Speaker B
I mean, that's definition yacht rock right there, dude.
Kim Commando
Doobie brothers. What a fool believes what a fool believes mack the knife.
Speaker B
Yeah, you're going. Well there. You wanted a little bit of a roll.
Kim Commando
Okay. All right, maybe mack the knife. But see, if it's on my yacht.
Speaker B
It should be Kim's yacht rock playlist.
Kim Commando
Yes.
Speaker B
Cause then it could be whatever you want. Cause it's whatever you play on.
Kim Commando
People are saying, dropping me notes all the time.
Speaker B
These people. When do you have time to work? All these conversations you're having with all of these people.
Kim Commando
And everybody just loves it.
People all the time say, I love it.
Speaker B
All you're doing is all day, non stop. You don't sleep. I can't, Barry. I gotta answer all these questions and have all these yacht rock playlist conversations. I can't go to bed.
Kim Commando
It's so hard being me.
So hard.
Hey, listen, let's talk about cryptocurrency, all right.
Speaker B
I can't get into my Coinbase wallet. Can we start there?
Kim Commando
Really?
Speaker B
Yes. I can't get in there. And so they have. This way you can authenticate it. I sent them my license. I sent them the back of my license. I did a video where I'm holding the license. I did a video where I'm saying this key phrase, they will note, let me in.
Kim Commando
How much money you got in there?
Speaker B
Thousands of dollars.
Kim Commando
Okay.
If I can get in.
Speaker B
Yeah.
Kim Commando
What's my cut?
Speaker B
0%.
A very thoughtful thank you. I'll take you to dinner. I don't know.
I don't know why they'll let me in. They say I'm not the person I am on my own driver's license. I am sorry to hijack this segment right here, but I am so mad and there's been so many days.
Kim Commando
Yeah, I know. I know how to get. I could figure it out.
Speaker B
All right, good.
Kim Commando
I could figure it out.
Speaker B
Problem solved.
Kim Commando
And dinner, my place of choosing.
Speaker B
Sure.
Kim Commando
Like state 44, whatever Berto's you want.
Speaker B
To go to, we're there.
Kim Commando
Oh, my God. I'd have the runs for like a month.
The FBI says that cyber criminals are posing as crypto exchange employees.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
And they are reaching out to you saying, we noticed that there's something wrong with your Coinbase account or whatever it may be.
Speaker B
They would get me. Cause I got problems.
Kim Commando
And then they want you to turn over your passphrase, your login details. And so, you know, just, you know, if you ever get an email like that, you see something on social, don't fall for it. No, don't do that. So thousands. Is it like 5000 or is it like 10,000 or is it like $1,500? Cause I want to know if it's worth my time.
Speaker B
Well, dollar 1500 wouldn't be thousands.
Kim Commando
Well, to some people that would be like eight grand.
Speaker B
Nine grandd.
Kim Commando
Oh, that's a lot of money.
Speaker B
I know, Kim, I am aware of this.
Kim Commando
Did you buy a car yet?
Speaker B
No, I'm. I got my 14th rental sitting out there. I used Turo for the first time.
Kim Commando
Oh, how was that?
Speaker B
It was cool. Yeah. One thing is if you're using Turo. It's an online website where you can go, I've used rent people's cars. You just rent people's cars. And the reason I went to Turo is because I just wanted the closest. I needed something the closest to my house, because I was going to have to Uber and all this jazz, and it was right up the street, like, five minutes away.
They left the car in a parking lot at a Starbucks. They put a little lockbox on it, and when you're at the vehicle, you send them the message, I'm here. And they send you the code. You put in the code, turn the thing, there's the key. You got the car.
Kim Commando
And so what kind of car did you get?
Speaker B
I don't know. Something. Hyundai something. I don't know. It was the closest. I didn't care.
Kim Commando
How was she paying?
Speaker B
Well, that was the thing. It wasn't the actual closest because there was a Mercedes that was, like, three blocks over. But the fees on Mercedes were, like, $600 for the insurance, because the insurance and the fees are all based on the value.
Kim Commando
Right.
Speaker B
So this is, like, a small suv. 2017, it was $24 a day.
Kim Commando
It's not bad.
Speaker B
Not at all.
Then, like, dollar 60 in fees to Turo and dollar 70 in insurance. Cause it's not like you're going to a major car rental company. You can't just say, I'll just use my insurance. You know, I don't want to buy up. You have to purchase the insurance through Turo. And that was $70, which is not bad for a whole.
Kim Commando
How so? How many you're going to take it for? A month?
Speaker B
A week? I. Only for a week.
Kim Commando
Oh, wow. Yeah.
Speaker B
93 days I've been without my car.
Kim Commando
Why so long?
Speaker B
They're blaming the cyber attack. Remember when the car dealership.
Kim Commando
Yes, yes.
Speaker B
So they had to hand order all the parts, like, pen and paper, put it in the mail.
Kim Commando
I think you have to get. Are you being mean? No.
Speaker B
What's mean gonna get me?
Kim Commando
You know, I'm maybe not being, like, assertive.
Speaker B
I'm saying I have to have this vehicle. I'm like. I do say every single time, because.
Kim Commando
Are they paying for the rentals?
Speaker B
Yeah.
I'm not coming out of pocket for anything. It's just an inconvenience. And I haven't had my car for three months.
Kim Commando
Yeah.
Speaker B
And I also wasn't. And this is a lot of information about me, but I was about to buy a new truck, and I can't do that until I have this vehicle to trade in.
It's a nightmare.
Kim Commando
Yeah.
Speaker B
It is the fifth vehicle I've been in since my accident.
Kim Commando
Well, what I mean, what I do is that, like, right now I'm having trouble with Samsung.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
Okay. Samsung air conditioners. Just wanted to let everybody know.
Having some issues with Samsung air conditioners. Okay.
And have escalated it all the way to Seoul, South Korea.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
They still haven't been able to figure out why they don't work the way that they should.
Basically what happens is I have, like, an air conditioning farm at home or here at home.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
Okay. There's just picture, like, there's twelve air conditioners.
Speaker B
You have twelve air conditioners for your house?
Kim Commando
Well, yeah, so, you know, it's a big house.
Speaker B
I understand that. But that's still.
Kim Commando
A lot of it is. Okay. But, you know, they're all, like, different zones.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
And so, like, you know, two bedrooms is one zone. So, I mean. Cause that. That was the way that I wanted. So that this way, if we were not home, but we could keep, like, certain parts of the house air conditioned and stuff like that. But the air conditioners are generating so much heat.
Speaker B
Cause they're so close together.
Kim Commando
Yes. Okay, so. So Samsung wants to take down the. What they're recommending is that we take down the wall around the air conditioners.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
And put in louverse.
Speaker B
Oh, yeah. I was gonna say, have you tried louvers yet?
Kim Commando
And put a swamp cooler above it?
Speaker B
Are they serious?
Kim Commando
Yes.
Speaker B
You need a swamp cooler to cool down your air conditioner.
Kim Commando
Yes.
Speaker B
Well, you need. Then. You need a tabletop fan to cool down the swamp cooler to cool down.
Kim Commando
I know. I'm sitting there going like, okay, what part of this am I not understanding?
Speaker B
And I'm sure this cost a pretty. And those are only, like, a year old.
Kim Commando
Yeah, well, no, they've been fighting this. We've been trying to figure this out since they were installed.
Speaker B
Oh, okay.
Kim Commando
And so Barry has turned it now over to me. Cause he's been fighting with them for 18 months, and now he's like. And so now I'm drafting a letter to, like, everybody at Samsung H Vac division to say, this is just not a good thing.
Speaker B
Now, when you designed this whole thing, was Samsung involved?
Kim Commando
Oh, yes.
Speaker B
Oh, okay.
Kim Commando
Yeah, same thing.
Speaker B
So they're the ones who said, this is gonna work for you.
Kim Commando
Yeah. And then. But also, you know, keep in mind that there's also. There's architects.
Speaker B
Yeah.
Kim Commando
There's engineers, mechanical engineers, everybody. I mean, this is, you know, it's not like you know, Barry and I went out there and go, you know, let's go to Home Depot.
Speaker B
Let's get twelve acs and some cinder blocks. We'll get them to have this knocked out by tomorrow.
Kim Commando
Oh my God. This is, this is what you have when you build a house.
Speaker B
Well, yeah, no, this is when you have, when you build a house.
Kim Commando
Oh, that's true.
Speaker B
I know.
Twelve acs. Going out is not a everyday person's problem.
Kim Commando
Well, see, that's just it.
What they do is they only cool to a certain point.
Speaker B
So is your house hot inside?
Kim Commando
Sometimes it is.
Speaker B
Okay. And you have twelve acs. I mean, you should never have a temperature problem. We have twelve acs.
Kim Commando
We shouldn't.
Let's move on to Taco Bell.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
Taco Bell. There's going to be on your list.
Speaker B
Yeah.
Kim Commando
You want to talk about they have. Where they're going to put AI bots to take the orders.
Speaker B
Yes. Voice recognition and voice response. AI drive thru bots. They're not, this is not new. It's been happening. You've probably ordered from an AI bot at a drive thru restaurant in the last year or so because companies are trying new software, new companies trying to figure this out. The one time it is noticeable when it's like, hello and welcome to Taco Bell. What can I get you? I'll have two soft tacos. And then the next person's like, okay.
Like it totally changes voices.
Kim Commando
That is true. But they also have like, you know, Flippy. Does the hamburgers flippy?
Speaker B
Yes.
Kim Commando
And then they now have the, it's called like the Arnicado. The Arnicado.
Speaker B
I'm not familiar with the arnicado.
Kim Commando
The Arnacado is a bot robot. Not robot robot.
Speaker B
Very good.
Kim Commando
That will cut avocados and then.
Speaker B
Is this for Chipotle?
Kim Commando
Yeah, make like guacamole and stuff like that, you know. So here's your new saying.
Yo quiero taco bots.
Speaker B
That's a throwback. They haven't said that in a long time at Taco Bell.
Kim Commando
All right, finally this.
If you could say the moment that you're dying be taken away from wherever you're dying by ambulance to a facility where the moment that you do die, they take out all the liquids in your body. Take out all the liquids in your body and then they put in liquid nitrogen.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
So that this way you could be frozen and so that if and when the technology was there that they could unfreeze you and bring you back to life.
Would you?
Speaker B
No, we're supposed to die I mean, there's a cycle for this. You're not supposed to live forever. I know. We've had that guy on the show who wants to live forever.
Kim Commando
Don't die.
Speaker B
Yeah, he's doing that tour now. That don't die tour.
Kim Commando
No. Is he doing a don't die tour?
Speaker B
Yeah, he's doing, like, ten cities around the world. His. His merchandise is actually pretty cool. Cause it's just a black, black hat that says don't die, which is good.
Kim Commando
I will tell you. I bought the olive oil. The olive oil is good. Olive oil is very good.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
And the blueberries with the walnuts, very good.
Speaker B
But I think we're supposed to die. I don't think. I mean, we've talked about this before with people taking conversations, phone calls from loved ones, and putting them inside of chat bots.
It's being part of a human to die.
Kim Commando
Well, it's a german company called tomorrow Bio.
They're gonna charge you $216,500.
Speaker B
That's no guarantee that this will work. Even.
Kim Commando
That's your whole body.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
Okay. If you just want to do your.
Speaker B
Brain right, like Walt Disney, it's gonna.
Kim Commando
Be, let's see, $80,000 just for this.
Speaker B
That's not bad.
Kim Commando
Yeah, just for your brain.
Speaker B
I don't know what you're gonna do with it.
Kim Commando
I'm really sure.
Speaker B
Hey, go get grandpa.
Kim Commando
He wants to see this now. There is an annual fee that your.
Speaker B
Estate has to pay.
Kim Commando
Yes.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
Okay. And they expect. So they want you to come with this annual fee, and they want you to pay up to a 100 years.
Speaker B
Oh, boy. What's the annual fee?
Kim Commando
They wouldn't say, this is not like.
Speaker B
Disney plus, where it's $4.99 a month.
Kim Commando
But they did say, I thought this was funny. So you pay for like, 100 years worth, right. Okay.
For them to preserve your body.
Okay. For 100 years.
If somebody's able to revive you in 80 years, you get that money back.
Speaker B
Well, that's good business practices.
I mean, you get it back. It's a rebate for what you've already prepaid.
I love this business model. Because you just get to sit there and go, nope, they haven't figured it out.
Kim Commando
Sorry.
Speaker B
Got them back there in the deep freeze. They haven't figured it out yet.
Kim Commando
They have 650 people signed up, but.
Speaker B
Nobody actually in the freezer yet.
Kim Commando
Not yet.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
But they have 650 people sign up, and they said a large number of pets.
Speaker B
That makes sense. People are weird like that.
Kim Commando
Pets.
Speaker B
They're weird like that. Would you pay $200,000 to have one of your most dearest pets back from the dead in 80 years.
Kim Commando
So, wait, you haven't answered yet. What?
Speaker B
Would you do this?
Kim Commando
Would I?
Speaker B
Yeah.
Kim Commando
There's a side of me that's like, okay, maybe. I mean, you're gonna be. You're already dying, right? I mean, so.
Speaker B
Well, you'd have to do it. You. For me to want to do it. Everyone that I love, all my loved ones, would have.
Kim Commando
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker B
I don't want to wake up in 106 years, get a bill for six years of storage, and be all alone.
Kim Commando
And then, you know, and then, like, having, like. Almost, like. Like, stroke like symptoms.
Speaker B
I gotta get this nitrogen out of my ear.
Kim Commando
Could you imagine?
I can't hear you. I have nitrogen in my ears.
Speaker B
Yeah, this sounds like. It sounds like it's cool. It sounds like the future. I don't think it's gonna work.
Kim Commando
I don't think it's gonna work either.
That's funny. Andrew got nitrogen stuck in it.
That would probably happen, too, until you.
Speaker B
Take all the liquid nitrogen out and then put your juices back.
Or you got all new juices.
Kim Commando
I have to get all new juice. It's kind of like pickling a car.
You know, they gotta put the oil back in.
Speaker B
Right.
Kim Commando

Oh, yeah, yeah, that's what I thought.

Speaker B
Gotcha.
Kim Commando
So, like, like, here's just like, you use AI, obviously. I mean, we all do. Is that what a lot of people don't realize is that you can upload pictures, right? And so, like, if your plants dying, you take a picture of the plant, and then you can say, you know, what's wrong with the plant?
And it'll analyze it and tell you that if you can't, somebody does a handwritten note and you want to transcribe the text, you could just take a picture of that and say, grab the text out.
If you're going on a trip, you can take a picture of your suitcase and give the dimensions and say, I'm going to be going on a hiking trip for four days. What should I. And what should I put in the suitcase? And what could fit inside the suitcase?
Speaker B
That's so cool. I didn't know any of this stuff.
Kim Commando
And then it will tell you everything to put in, and then it'll also tell you, like, how to pack it.
Speaker B
So everything does fit?
Kim Commando
Yes.
Speaker B
That's really cool.
Kim Commando
So in all wells fares, you do what everybody else does. You just sit on the suitcase.
Speaker B
That'd be great. If Chad GPG told you to do.
Kim Commando
That, then sit in the middle.
Speaker B
Do you have any children? Have them lay on the suitcase.
Kim Commando
So Facebook.
Speaker B
Yeah, there's some researchers found, there's a group of scammers that are targeting people's credit card information to, a, hit them with one charge, and then, b, sell all that credit card information on the dark web. And they found that they're getting their, their prey from Facebook through Facebook ads.
Kim Commando
Okay.
Speaker B
They have 600 different online storefronts that they run 100 ads per storefront on Facebook to get the credit card information.
Kim Commando
Okay.
Speaker B
So they're selling, they're focusing on two different products. And the article actually did not mention the two companies that were being targeted.
Kim Commando
Okay.
Speaker B
Because there's a ripple effect. A lot of people, you know, if you go on, you see an ad where some celebrity is saying, hey, sign up for this amazing technical service. You do it and you get nothing back. Not only do you get nothing back, you get money stolen from you, and then there's 34 different charges by the morning on your credit card.
They're going after the company because of the company that's being faked. So they're trying to protect the identity of these companies, but they're designed to be disposable. The ad goes up. They do everything through mobile interface, because that's the best way to not get caught on Facebook.
Kim Commando
Is it?
Speaker B
Yes. It's the least way to get detected. They go up, the site's live for a couple of hours. Facebook. Someone then complains. Facebook gets it. They delete the ads. They delete the website.
Fine. We got another one waiting down the pipe to shoot out there and get in front of people to get their money.
Kim Commando
You know, I wonder if the ads that I've been seeing over, like, the last day, because I have. I have clicked on them.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
Because.
All right, well, here's the deal, is that I would like to buy some Hermes pillows.
Speaker B
Okay?
Kim Commando
But they're too expensive.
Speaker B
But also Hermes pillows. I thought you couldn't buy any bag from them unless you had, like, an appointment. You went through an approval process.
Kim Commando
You can buy one.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
A Birkin bag.
Speaker B
Yeah.
Kim Commando
Yeah.
Speaker B
You don't have to do all those tubes.
Kim Commando
Well, if you. What you do is you buy it on the used marketplace.
Speaker B
Oh, okay.
Kim Commando
Which, you know, and then if you buy it used, it's not as expensive anyway.
Speaker B
Right.
Kim Commando
And then you have yourself a Birkin bag, and it comes in the box and all that other good stuff.
Speaker B
How much are with these pillows? What are we talking now? Wait, are these bedtime pills, like, go to sleep, or these throw pillows?
Kim Commando
Throw pillows. Throw pillows for the couch. What are we talking, like, crazy? Like $900?
Speaker B
That's insane.
Kim Commando
Okay.
Speaker B
For a throw pillow.
Kim Commando
Yeah.
Speaker B
For something that's gonna catch Barry's cheeto crunches in the future.
Kim Commando
Well, I just. So. But so I've looked at. I mean, I don't want to see. And that's it. I don't want to spend dollar 900 for a pillow.
Speaker B
No one wants to.
Kim Commando
Okay. Because especially, like, I'll tell you where I buy throw pillows is. I go to Saksoffift avenue.com.
Speaker B
Right.
Kim Commando
Okay.
Speaker B
Which is, like, the clearance section yes, for.
Kim Commando
Exactly. Okay. You know, you can get so many nice throw pillows there for, like, $30, $40. And they're normally, like, a couple hundred bucks.
Speaker B
How many throw pillows do you need? Kim Commando?
Kim Commando
No, in my living room, you know, I have those.
The couches. Yeah, the half couches.
Speaker B
Right.
Kim Commando
Okay. And they're from restoration hardware. And I don't know if you've noticed anything about restoration hardware, but everything comes in shades of browns and grays. Okay. All monotone. All monotone. Okay. And it's nice, but it has no pizzazz.
Speaker B
And how many pillows are currently on your couch?
Kim Commando
Well, I probably have six pillows on each side.
Speaker B
Okay. And you need more?
Kim Commando
No, but I was just. But I've been. But see, if I.
Speaker B
So even shopping. Okay.
Kim Commando
Yeah. So I'm always thinking, like, you know, if I were to hit the lottery, that I would buy Hermes pillows.
Speaker B
Right.
Kim Commando
But, you know. Cause again, for the cheeto effect. Okay.
And so I. So I'm sitting there on Facebook, and I get, like, this ad. It's almost like somebody's reading my mind.
Speaker B
Oh, you think?
Kim Commando
Okay. And it's for a site that says, like, you know, Hermes pillows, $39.99. And I'm like, oh, I'm going to click that.
Speaker B
Gotta be legit.
Kim Commando
I don't think there's anything wrong with them.
Speaker B
It probably is one of those websites. Now, this group that got caught, they all focused on technology, and they also used fake celebrity deepfakes.
Kim Commando
Oh, is it? They push the ads. Okay.
Speaker B
And then we can sit here and say, who would ever fall for that? I fall for a long time.
Kim Commando
You did? What'd you buy?
Speaker B
I told you this story, right? The Gordon Ramsay pants I have.
Kim Commando
Okay. No.
Speaker B
After my divorce, I could not sleep, and so I got sleeping pills for the first time ever in my life to prescribe to me.
Kim Commando
Okay.
Speaker B
First night I ever took them.
Kim Commando
Ambien.
Speaker B
Yeah. I think it was generic one.
Kim Commando
Oh, that's bad. That's bad stuff.
Speaker B
Yeah. I've never taken it again because of this story. Wake up in the middle of the night, I am so out of it. I am Groggy. I can't make my way downstairs. Cause I am just out of it. I am in an altered state.
So I decide, let's get on my phone, because why not?
So I go open up Facebook, and there's this ad for Gordon Ramsay's pans, the pans that he uses in all of his kit. Why are you laughing?
In all of his kitchens. And they're only $19.99 for a set of six pans.
Kim Commando
You know, that's a bargain.
Speaker B
And I was so out of it that I bought them, and within seconds, my phone email is just.
They charged me the 1999 to my card.
Kim Commando
Okay.
Speaker B
And then it was a $2 charge, a $4 charge, a $6 charge, a $5 charge.
Kim Commando
Was this your debit card?
Speaker B
It was a credit card.
Kim Commando
Oh, thank God.
Speaker B
Yes.
Kim Commando
Okay.
Speaker B
And so I immediately shut off the cardinal. But my card is out there on the Internet. I mean, I'm getting now alerts from my credit report company saying, this is happening on your card. It's going crazy. And I am high off the rocker on these sleeping pills, and I am freaking out.
So I had to cancel the card and all that stuff.
Kim Commando
But, yeah, I thought, did Jerry get to pots? Oh.
He looked at me like, no, you idiot. It was a scam.
No, you got scammed.
Speaker B
So just know that it's out there. And I want to say Facebook should do something about it, or Facebook should be responsible. But if they're making 600 websites funnel back to one place, and they have 100 ads for all. 600? That's impossible for anyone. I don't even know how it's profitable for them.
Kim Commando
Did you see what Mark Zuckerberg looks like?
Speaker B
Yeah. What do you mean?
Kim Commando
No? His new publicity photos?
Speaker B
No.
Kim Commando
Oh, you know, he actually looks good. He doesn't look like a dweeb anymore.
Speaker B
That is the most backhanded compliment I've ever heard. He actually looks good.
Kim Commando
Well, like, sometimes you actually look good, too.
Speaker B
No, I don't.
Kim Commando
No, so. But they. He's got, like, Curly. He's got, like, that Gen Z curly hair thing going on in the front. He's tan.
Speaker B
Well, he's doing all that karate. He's getting in shape. Yeah.
Kim Commando
He looks. I don't know. He doesn't look like that dweeb that was sitting on the phone books in front of Congress.
Speaker B
Zuck's cool now.
Kim Commando
Well, I don't know if he's cool. I'm just saying that he's. Somebody's giving him, like, a media makeover, I think, is what's going on.
Speaker B
Yeah, I think he's got the money he can afford to make.
Kim Commando
I think he does.
Speaker B
He can get those pillows you wanted.
Kim Commando
He probably has the pillows.
You know what? And I gotta tell you about Zuckerberg and Bezos.
Speaker B
Uh huh.
Kim Commando
Okay. There is a brand that I used to buy all the time.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
Okay. Italian brand. Okay.
Speaker B
Is that the name of the brand?
Kim Commando
No. Oh, it's called Brunello, Cuncinelli.
Okay. And, you know, it was always, like, on the pricey side, but now it's like, on the extreme side.
Speaker B
They pushed it out of your range because it got too popular.
Kim Commando
Well, because, you know, I guess what I heard is that from this guy who I know who's like a, you know, apparel guy. Okay, well, I'll tell you who it is. My personal dresser.
Speaker B
Yeah.
Kim Commando
Is that he? I said, as I said, you know, I can't afford that stuff anymore. And he said, well, because of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez and Zuckerberg all wearing it, that he has like ten x'ed his prices.
Speaker B
Wow. Just from them wearing it.
Kim Commando
Yeah. So, like a t shirt. A t shirt used to be like $150, which is still ridiculous for a t shirt. Okay, now that t shirt is like dollar 900.
Speaker B
Wow. People are stupid. I mean, I'm stupid for trying to buy Gordon Ramsey's pants pans at 02:00 in the morning, but paying $900 for a t shirt? That's just stupid.
Kim Commando
It is, but no. So when you see them all walking around, it looks like they're just wearing a t shirt, right? No, it's like a cashmere silk t shirt.
Speaker B
That's somebody in Tulsa's mortgage.
Kim Commando
Yes, exactly. Exactly.

Speaker B
The audience is growing, though.
Kim Commando
I know it is.
Speaker B
2024 has been a really good year for you.
Kim Commando
It has been.
Speaker B
YouTube channel?
Kim Commando
I think so. I think so. I think it's because of you.
Speaker B
No, stop.
Kim Commando
Okay, so there's this guy by the name of Avi Schiffman.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
Avi is 21 years old. He's a Harvard dropout. And during COVID he got a lot of attention because he was the superstar who really did that map of where Covid was spreading, and it was on all the news channels and everybody was tracking it, but he was the one. The master might be hardened all this, and he was like 17 years old, 1617. So obviously now he's 21 and he is. He raised $2 million.
And he has developed a necklace that you wear, and it listens to every single thing that you say, everything that is around you, and it knows what you're doing because you have a schedule, works on the app. And so, like, for example, if you and I would do this podcast, and I had this on, it's called friend. If I had friend, the necklace. The friend necklace on as we walked out, you know, friend would say to me, boy, you know, Kim, you really are funny. And I really like that joke that you said and. Or, you know, Andrew didn't seem like Andrew was really with the program today. Seemed a little cranky. Maybe you need to have a talk with him. How was lunch? You just ate lunch. So what, you know, was that I. Japanese sweet potato any good? So the whole idea is it's $99.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
And it's been called a wearable mom, a life coach, and a friend.
It's not like Siri or Alexa, where you ask it a question, you get an answer. Friend listens to everything all the time, makes comments, makes suggestions.
Speaker B
How does it speak to you? Does it send text messages?
Kim Commando
No.
Speaker B
It talks to you so audibly. I could hear your necklace having. Talking to you.
Kim Commando
Yes.
Speaker B
And you could be sitting in a restaurant eating a salad, talking to your chest like this.
Kim Commando
Yes.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
$99. Now, I will tell you this, that. That Avi, he spent. He got. He raised, like, about two and a half million dollars. I said to him, but he wanted to buy the domain, friend.com.
Speaker B
Okay. I'm sure that was pretty expensive.
Kim Commando
He spent almost $2 million on that.
Speaker B
Just on the domain.
Kim Commando
Yeah.
Speaker B
So he spent 2 million on the domain. And 5 million or 500,000 to come up with a necklace?
Kim Commando
Yes.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
Yes.
Speaker B
You must really believe in this thing.
Kim Commando
So, I like a hundred. It's a $100, which is affordable, right? I don't.
That feels like that kind of creeps me out.
Speaker B
Kind of? You're the same person who unplugged all your alexas and hit them in the garage because you were worried they were secretly recording all your conversations.
Kim Commando
Yes.
Speaker B
Right.
Kim Commando
But they say they're not.
Speaker B
Well, no. Cause they only activate when they hear the activation word, which they have to listen all the time to hear the activation word.
Kim Commando
You know, every time I write about this, there's a pr person from Amazon. I mean, they send me a note and they always say that. That it's not always listening. It's only listening for the wake word.
Speaker B
Right. But it has to listen.
Kim Commando
That means it's listening.
Speaker B
I don't want my entire life documented like that. I also don't want a computer to be my friend.
I'm good.
I'm sure there's a need. I'm sure you know. Okay. This weekend. This past weekend was a non kid weekend for me. And I had no plans, and I had a ton of stuff to do at the house. And it was like, Sunday at, I don't know, noon. And I just said, I haven't said anything out loud in 36 hours.
Kim Commando
Oh, really?
Speaker B
Cause I just was working around the house. I was watching a show, watching the Olympics, whatever. But I wasn't having any conversation for sure. I didn't talk on the phone, so I'm not. I'm just texting with people. But I was like, wow, it's been, like, 36 hours since I said something out loud. And I was okay with that.
Kim Commando
You didn't like it? Like, hello, hello, hello, hello.
Speaker B
I don't need my necklace to talk to me every ten minutes. That is not a need for me. I'm sure there's a lot of people, like, we've had guests on this show who have AI chat bots and, you know, doll boyfriends or whatever, that this would be right up their alley. But I don't think it's mainstream enough to be big.
Kim Commando
I don't know. I wouldn't want it. It's kind of a weird thing, but, you know, some people would like it, though.
Speaker B
Yeah, but for $99, that price point tells me he just wants to collect all the information because that's what's going to be the most valuable for him.
Kim Commando
Yeah. Like, you know how great I am, how funny I am.
Speaker B
That's it. He's just targeting you. We got Kim. Close the shop down.
Focus in on Kim commando.
Kim Commando
Let's. Let's hear a joke.
Speaker B
Do you think it's gonna be a success? No flop.
Kim Commando
No flop.
Speaker B
Because the last personal assistant necklace, what was that one called? Cause they put a ton of marketing and money into that one.
Kim Commando
Yeah, what was that called? I forget.
Speaker B
It was supposed to, like, shoot a screen onto your hand and all this dead.
Kim Commando
Yeah. Company.
Speaker B
Company's nothing now.
Kim Commando
No, I mean, you know, the real way to make money in AI is not with a necklace. No, I mean, you know, the real way to make money is to actually invest in the AI infrastructure, the hardware. It kind of goes back to when people were mining gold.
Speaker B
Right.
Kim Commando
Okay. Who made the money? Mining the gold was where everybody that was selling the pans and shovels and stuff for people to get the gold. And the same thing with people who really made the money mining crypto were the people who were selling all the graphic cards and everything.
Speaker B
I went to some tourist trap off the highway, and it was this, like, pit that went down to nowhere. And it was this guy who wanted in a poker game, and he took it in the poker game because he thought that there was precious gems down there. And when he went down there and saw there was nothing, it was all fools gold and just crystals, he was like, I'm going to lose all my money because I've invested everything in this. And then he decided, ah, potential is what's the value here? And he charged people $2 to take a rope down to get some fool's gold and crystal. But that's how he made all his money. How same thing.
Kim Commando
Is that recent?
Speaker B
No, no, no.
Kim Commando
I'm like, wow, that would be something. But this AI infrastructure, is that the number? It's just crazy me. It's like, last quarter, I think it was like $743 million has been spent in just the infrastructure for AI.
Speaker B
But are these AI companies making any money yet?
Kim Commando
I don't think yet.
Speaker B
I don't think so either, but they will. Okay.
Kim Commando
Right now we're making more money.
Speaker B
Pretty much. Well, I saw that article this morning. It's like Wall street is asking Amazon and all those big companies meta to prove how they're making money with AI. If they're going to invest anymore. Cause they're not.
Kim Commando
They need to do that. Right?
My nose is running. Okay.
That little piece of tissue right there.
Yeah.
Speaker B
Why did you just take a little piece?
Kim Commando
Cause it just says the only thing that came out.
Speaker B
Oh, okay.
Kim Commando
I need a one stop shop for all my elevated basics. Luckily, quints offers timeless and high quality items. I adore making sure my wardrobe stays fresh and I don't blow my budget.

Kim Kamado today here with you. And if you're getting the audio version of the podcast, we love you for that. Thank you. Make sure that you give us some nice reviews where we get the audio podcast. But if you'd like to actually watch us do the show live, we do it Monday, Wednesday, Fridays at 11:30 a.m. that specific time, which is on the east coast. That's 02:30 p.m. and as we like to say, if you're in the middle of the country, you have to figure out what time zone that is. We're not really sure. Sure.
Speaker B
It's a time. It's definitely a time.
Kim Commando
It's. There's a time for that.
Speaker B
We don't know what it is, but there's one.
Kim Commando
It's like, my niece. Like, she lives in Lafayette, Indiana. I don't know if she's, like, on Chicago time. I don't know if she's on central. I know I'm like, east. And it was her birthday, so I. So I called her this morning, and I left her. I actually sang happy birthday to her, and I said, damn, you're getting old.
Speaker B
I'm sure she's gonna love that when she gets that message.
Kim Commando
Exactly.
Speaker B
Speaking of calling someone, there's a new feature on the new iPhone operating system. It's under the accessibility.
I don't know. I don't get it. We'll talk about it where basically you can train your iPhone to mimic your own voice.
Kim Commando
Okay.
Speaker B
So what you do is you log into the accessibility. You turn on the natural voice or the live voice. And then you have to take 20 minutes and read 150 different prompts. And these are some weird ones. Like, one of them is, of course I'm mad you dropped a hammer on my toe. Like, that's literally one of the prompts.
Kim Commando
You have to read. Say that again.
Speaker B
Of course I'm mad you dropped a hammer on my toe.
Kim Commando
Yeah, I'd be mad at that too.
Speaker B
Wow, what a game. It's 150 different now. You don't have to do it all in one sitting. You can pause, and it works really fast and really well because all this technology, according to Apple, is built into your phone. Nothing's in the cloud, so everything, your voice is all going to live there. And once you have the 150 phrases readdehe, you let it process it, and then it will mimic your voice. You can set up key phrases that you can kind of hotkey and get to, or you can do text to voice with your own real Kim commando sounding voice. Now they're saying it's for accessibility for people who have no voice, or they have maybe a condition where their voice is weakened. But if you don't have a voice, you wouldn't be able to use it in the beginning anyway. So I can't imagine what this feature possibly is for, except for Apple wants you to give them 150 phrases so that they then own your voice or.
Kim Commando
They'Re going to do something else with it.
Speaker B
But what?
Kim Commando
I don't know.
Speaker B
I don't know either. And I was reading this article and I actually went online and saw a couple videos seeing if maybe there is someone who needs this, what they would use it for, and of course, everyone just like, cool.
Kim Commando
Maybe you could send, like, voice greetings to somebody in your voice if you trained it at some point, maybe like the next operating system.
Speaker B
Or you can send a voice, you can create the voice with it. I don't think it has the ability to send yet. But is that enough of a benefit for this entire feature so I can send you. You can send me insults in your own voice instead of just text message?
Kim Commando
Oh, God, do you watch those sneakers lately?
Speaker B
Exactly. I don't need to hear that in your own voice.
Kim Commando
That would be funny.
Speaker B
But if you want, if you have the new apple operating system, it's under the accessibility tab and you can go set it up.
Kim Commando
You know my grandfather's girlfriend?
Speaker B
Yes.
Kim Commando
No, this is not a joke. My grandfather's girlfriend.
Speaker B
Can you keep straight face while you're telling me no?
Kim Commando
Yeah, this is not a joke. No. My grandfather had a girlfriend who was a psychic.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
And I was like ten.
Speaker B
Okay.
Kim Commando
And she looked at me one point and she said, you. I mean, like, she was kind of like a weird looking, like really, like dark hair, big eyes, like, you know, like gypsy looking.
Speaker B
Sure.
Kim Commando
And she looked at me and she pointed her finger, she said, you are going to be rich and famous.
Speaker B
Did she now?
Kim Commando
Yeah. No, she did. And she said, I see a microphone with you.
And then she said, you're going to be a rich and famous singer.
Boy, she is.
Speaker B
Get your money back.
Kim Commando
No, I have the worst voice.
Speaker B
She was close.
Kim Commando
Yes.
Speaker B
Two to three ain't bad.
Kim Commando
Yeah, but I always thought that. I reflect back on that and I always think, like, you know, it's kind of like a. I mean, you know, she had like a microphone and how.
Speaker B
Are you connecting it to this, apple?
Kim Commando
Just a voice. And I was on a tangent. I'm a voice.
Speaker B
Where is this leading to?
Kim Commando
You know, it's like an upper tune.
Oh, God. Where's my friend Kim?
Speaker B
You're so funny.
Of course I'm mad. You dropped a hammer on my foot, you dope.
