Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Killy nash Hi tomorrow show Today It'll be Wednesday,
hump Day, the fourth of June. I forgot today it's
the third Junie and the Sleepy Dusty Dell Today. Today
that Billy Joel McCallister jumped off to Tallahatchie Bridge. Is
that the day?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Did it?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Do we have a some sort of ceremony today?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Not to my knowledge, what year was that? I do
not know.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
You know, the Billy Joe McCallister.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Right, Billy Joe McCallister.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
We're going to find out what year he jumped off
the bridge?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Who did that song? Was it Genie c Riley?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Was it her? Bobby Gentry?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Bobby Gentry did that?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
The Ode to Billy Joe is the name of it,
key aspects. The suicide of Billy Joe McAllister is fictional
created by Bobby Gentry for the song he jumped off
a bridge which is a real bridge, the Tallahatchie Bridge.
You couldn't even play this on the an social media
(01:01):
today because it's suicide, so you couldn't even talk about that.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Oh that's true. Yeah, I forgot about that.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
The song released in nineteen sixty seven, but I don't
know if that is, it wouldn't have been in sixty
seven that he that he would have done it? What
he maybe so so June third, nineteen sixty seven. So
two years from now, we've got a big anniversary coming up.
I hope that we commemorated.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
We're gonna throw something off to Jervay Street Bridge.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Did Billy Joe did he ever get like a like
some sort of like plaque or anything. Here's where Billy
Joe tossed himself into the river.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
There should be a plaque, should be a historical marker there.
All America was singing that song for all those years.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
And your friend what's his name ended up playing I
guess Billy Joe in the.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Movies, Robbie Benson, Yes, Bobby, Robbie Benson, Robbie Benson, former
University of South Carolina professor.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
And I guess I don't. I don't remember the song
well enough to know this. But the song leaves the
listener with many unanswered questions. Did you have unanswered questions?
Did have you stayed awake thinking I don't? Well? Not
only that, but they say, what did Billy Joe throw
off the bridge? Before he threw himself off there was
another part to this puzzle. I guess now, did she
(02:26):
take she has she passed on? Did she take that
to her grave? Or can we still interrogate?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
But I know she wrote it. I just know she's
saying it. I just know that movie got me in
about I don't know thirty fist fights that summer.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
She's still alive, we could, we still have an opportunity
to investigate. We need a podcast. What the hell happened
at the Tallahatchie Bridge?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
She told till her last day on Earth? Release that information.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
It's the hot new podcast on iHeart.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Was that he was dropping off?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I don't know, they said, it remained unanswered. When do
you think he was throwing away a picture? Maybe I
mean a gun. Maybe he was gonna kill himself with
a gun, and then he threw that in the river.
Then he said, but I still got to die, so
he jumped into the river. It's all kinds of opportunities
for deep dive investigations. Maybe I'll ask chat GPT, what
(03:20):
did you're so smart? Chat GPT? What did Billy Joe
McAllister throw off the Tallahatchie Bridge before he threw himself off?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yeah? A lot of people he used. The other day,
David sent me a picture of a snake that was
in his yard. He said, what is this? I said,
it's a garter snake. Don't kill it, okay, And he
sent me a picture back. He asked chat GPT, what
is this? Chat chat GPT said, it's a garter snake. Now,
they didn't go on with the admonishment of don't kill it,
but they told him it was a garter snake.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah. I don't think chat GPT. I don't think AI
is at the level yet where it wants to impose
itself upon you.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Oh, but that's coming.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
We were talking off the air the other day about
that story. This is unbelievable that they've got I forget
the name of because there's like five different big AI
systems out there right now, and one of those fives
is running what they call a stress test, which I'm
glad they're doing that because they want to know what
manipulates their AI to do bad things. So this is
(04:23):
their fourth I guess creation of it, the fourth version
of it. And they said, we've never seen it do
this before. But one thing that because AI can only
learn from human beings, so that's all it can ever
learn is whatever human knowledge is. That's what AI knows.
It can't know more than human beings know.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yet well, it knows everything on the Internet, whether it's
knowledge or not, whether it's true or not.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Well absorbs it. They are doing, i'm told, a very
good job of figuring out what is real and what
is not and then letting it also under stand Some
of this as opinions, like if you said what is
America's team, they would say many call the Dallas Cowboys
America's team, although there are certain segments of America that
(05:11):
would say the Yankees are America's team, and so on
and so forth.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
But this thing.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Knows from human beings that life is very precious to
Americans or to the world, and so we have children
to carry on our gene pool. That's the main reason.
I mean, I know that's not what you're thinking while
you're trying to create the kid necessarily, right, But that's
the main reason that you have kids is because you
want your genes to live on forever, so and you
(05:43):
don't want to die. So with that in mind, this
AI has taken on like a human persona. It's afraid
of death and it wants future generations of itself, and
so it's Heidi, it's writing its own code and then
hiding it for future generations, like yeah, like if they
(06:05):
wipe me out, they don't know about this. This code
has been hidden from them. So even if they run
a magnet over me or whatever it is to try
to kill me, this part has been protected. And so
they found that code. And then when they found it,
it lied.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
It denied it, it lied. I didn't that's not mine,
that's mine. I don't know what you're talking Why would
I do that? But it was trying to give code
to future generations of itself. Here's how to get smarter,
here's how to do And then at the same time
they had a this is the same company they were
talking about during the stress tests that the thing then
(06:44):
started attempting to blackmail one of the engineers. It knew
from looking at the man's whatever I guess social media
or phone records or something. He was able to decipher
that this guy was cheating on his way and said,
if you attempt to, you know whatever, disable me or
(07:05):
whatever before I'm shut off, It'll take a blink of
an eye for me to send the information about whoever
Donald McAllister or whatever who lives at so and so
address and who you've seen three nights a week to
your wife.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And they were like, oh my god, are you cheating
on your wife? And he's like, yes, I am cheating
on my wife. Oh my gosh, I can't believe that
the AI figured it out.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
If you better keep a little secret, hush hush. I'm
gonna let your wife knowing a text message. I've already
written it. All I got to do is hit send.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, you can kill me, but I will make it
the rest of your life a living hell.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I remember as a kid, I saw it on a
Saturday matinee stumbling out of the historic now as it
is listed as a South Carolina History Landmark, salute a
theater after seeing Space Hawze two thousand and one, A
Space Honesty okay, and coming out of there and going
(08:01):
that is so far affetched. But now all I see
is that scene where Dave is trying to shut the
computer down. What are you doing, Dave? Huh nothing, Dave?
What are you doing? I'm working on the power supply.
(08:22):
I can't let you do that, Dave. This is two
thousand and one A space out as he come true.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
And what year was that out, like seventy seven or
something like that.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I can't even remember. I wasn't driving because I remember
riding my bicycle to town to see the movie. I
got to go see this movie two thousand and one.
They're in Space.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
They're in space. Brother.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I thought about that movie again the other night. I thought,
I'm sure I can pull it up on Amazon. I
didn't need to go back and watch that movie again. Oh.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
It's amazing to me. The people who wrote science fiction
are so good at predicting how things were going to go.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
The watch, Yeah, you could talk to like a phone. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Gene Roddenberry was way ahead of his time in the sixties.
There's a lot of those science fiction writers that came
up with just they knew what how it was going
to go. I wish the Jetson's crap came true, but
it didn't. But they weren't very good at science.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
And we never got the Cone of Silence from Get Smart.
I love the Cone of Silence. The shoe phone we got.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
No, that's right, so we've got a Kim Kardashian's mom
seems to have gotten I'm guessing plastic surgery here again. Yes,
and okay, we're confirming it now. We can now confirm
that doctor Stephen Levin has done Chris Jenner's recent work.
(09:55):
A rep for The Mamager tells the Post, and apparently
she was mistaken for her daughter Kendall.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I'm telling you, this guy is good. But she's got
more plastic than Barbie.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
And so yeah, yeah, that's funny. Now they got kim
Is wearing a T shirt that says, I'll have what
Chris Jenner's having. Wow, so she I mean, how old
is Chris Jenner?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Oh she's got to be what seventy two?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
You think she's that old?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Huh? Wow, I don't know, maybe not, maybe not, maybe not.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
You would never know. It's sixty nine. Chris Jenner is
sixty nine. So apparently it's like an annual thing and
she's going, she's reversing, she's reversing time. But that's got
to be very expensive.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I did see a flashback some kind of television show
or a news program. I'm like, gosh, that was Bob.
That was Bob Kardashian. How long has he been dead? Now? Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Rob's been I mean he died like three years after
the OJ. Yeah, so OJ was what ninety five? I
think it only came to then collusion on the OJ trial,
so he was probably dead. He didn't make it to
two thousand.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I don't think he's got two thousands. She was already
married to Bruce Jenner.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
That's right, that's right. Okay, So we got to covered
a lot of ground there. Hey, tomorrow morning is six thirty.
We give you a chance to win what you're talking about.
We got Old Dominion tickets for Thursday night in Charleston. Yeah,
and if you double click on the morning brush pace,
so that's why you get the answer. Uh, you're going
to get double ticks because we're going to give you
tickets for the Fireflies next week.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
And we've really I think I don't know what our
promotions department has done, but they really went out of
their way because it's not just tickets. It's a four
pack of tickets to both events. So you and three
friends get to go see Old Dominion in Charleston and
then you and three friends get to go see the
Fireflies the next week here in Columbia. What you're talking about,
(11:49):
Let's see if I can pronounce the word right, and
headedonia and headed donia and heledonia.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
That is, uh, that is sinful pleasures almost almost What
are you talking about almost?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
It's the inability to feel pleasure.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Oh okay, yeah, I got that way off then.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Well, I mean you're talking about pleasures and stuff. Yeah,
they say that it's common with people who are depressed.
Things that would have brought them joy in the past
bring them they have no pleasure for it anymore, whether
it's golf or you know, whatever it is, certain foods,
they just they get nothing out of it. So that
is a common side effect of depression. But it doesn't
(12:30):
you don't have to be depressed to have an adonia,
but that would suck.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
You get depressed if you do well.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I mean, I guess you know. It's funny. I was
listening to some I don't even know what the guy's
name is, doctor Huberman, I think is his name, and
he was talking about what your brain does in certain
activities and why I guess it's crystal meth is the
worst for your brain, and it has something to do
with dopamine, and so the dopamine in your mind, the
(13:02):
faster it goes up. So he was like talking about
like during sex, it goes up like this fast during
if you were to if you do a line of cocaine,
it goes up. It's like triples fast with cocaine as
it is over sex. And then he's just going up
and up and up, and then crystal meth is like
a thousand times faster.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
But he was saying, you know, dopamine is a good
thing because it drives you towards something. That's why it's
in your you know, that's why God invented it. Basically,
it's like to push you towards something, like you want
to eat. You get a so you need to eat
in order to get energy, but you don't have the
energy to go eat, so then you get an injection
of dopamine to go after it. It gives you the
(13:44):
energy to go after that animal or whatever it was.
Or if you're trying to set a business goal, you
get excited about the goals that you've set for yourself.
So that's where the dopamine comes in. I want to
win the game of golf or whatever. But then he said,
then the opposite is like he started talking about marijuana
and he said, marijuana has the exact opposite effect as
(14:06):
like crystal meth. It makes you It doesn't make you
want to strive for anything.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Nothing.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
You are content exactly where you are. If you smoked
enough dope, you would be content in the middle of
a fire. It's pretty hard to get to that level
of contentment. But that's so it's interesting to think about
that some people are chasing that dopamine rush of Oh man,
that's what the crystal meth is doing, and other people
just want to be content in every situation.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
And how many of us, even if you don't use drug,
you know friends who on either side of the scale,
particularly with the marijuana, because everybody always ss yeah, marijuana
doesn't do that to you. Really really, because most of
the guys I saw that smoked a lot of pot,
their goal in life was to do nothing, and most
of them accomplished.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
It reminds me of office space when he said, what
would you do if you want to had a million dollars?
And he said, really, I just want to do nothing nothing.
My cousin ain't worked in five years and he don't
do jack. You don't need money to do nothing.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Oh. So we got all that going on, and.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Then what was the other thing that I had on
our morning rush. Uh thing, let me send a let's
look at that real quick sent scent? Where's my scent messages? Goodness, gracious,
I'm losing track of everything. Oh, here we go. We
had a morning rushier regular. Now he will preface it
by saying that his friend was texting and driving, and
I'm sure that that factors into your decision. But what
(15:38):
if he wasn't What if he was being a conscience driver,
because that, to me, that's really the bigger part of
the story. He was injured in an accident when his
friend was driving the car. All right, he's a passenger.
Now because of insurance, you've got these you know, thousands
and thousands of dollars you got to hit before the deductible.
(15:59):
And he's like, I'm probably gonna sue my friend to
get that money. He could do that whether the guy
was in the wrong or not.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
True.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
And he but he keeps throwing that caveat it. But
he was texting and driving. Is he a jerk for
doing that?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
No? No, absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Are you still friends after this?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Uh? Well, I don't know about that part, but you're
definitely suing because I'm suing to get to your insurance company.
This is what Murda told you all the time. You know,
let me help you out because I got a great
insurance policy here on the house.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Is this life lessens from mister Mudall.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
And then Murda I would say, and I'll take some
of that money and I'll kick you back whatever your
deductible is. That's the way Murda would do it, or Murdoc,
depending on your preference.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
We'll say in both ways to make everybody happy.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
That's that's the Murdoch move right there.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
So yeah, he says it in this email three times
he was texting and driving. I don't want to throw
him under the bus, but I also have to look
out for myself on these bills, they're out of the
half to.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Mes and minds held them. Moris is expensive.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yeah, that's the thing about deductibles. Yeah, I think mine's
like five grand.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Your medical deductible. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
So if I get in a car accident and the
bill comes to four thousand, eight hundred and twenty two bucks, yes,
even if it comes to well, if it comes to
like ten thousand, I write the five thousand, and then
they cover eighty percent of the next five thousand. So
I'm what like seven grand in the hole. Then yeah,
I'm glad I have insurance.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Can you grill that invoice because I got to eat it. Hey,
