[Speaker 0] Mike Del's World, number five zero six for
[Speaker 0] October twenty seventh twenty twenty five. I think
[Speaker 0] it's time for Mike Del's World. There it
[Speaker 0] is. And there it is. Here I am.
[Speaker 0] Hey. It hasn't been six months, so I
[Speaker 0] guess this is a bonus extra holy crap,
[Speaker 0] but I did one within the same month
[Speaker 0] episode. Was it quite the same month? Let
[Speaker 0] me go look for sure, but, I I
[Speaker 0] think it might be. Anyway, welcome to, Mike
[Speaker 0] Dell's worlds. Thanks for staying. Subscribe even though
[Speaker 0] I'm not very, regular when it comes to
[Speaker 0] making these podcast episodes. And, actually, I haven't
[Speaker 0] been regular making podcast episodes for the other
[Speaker 0] podcast that I do, Podcast Insider. We haven't
[Speaker 0] done one in, I don't know, month and
[Speaker 0] a half or two months, something like that.
[Speaker 0] But, they are resuming in November, so, look
[Speaker 0] forward to that. We got a new cohost
[Speaker 0] on board, Dave Clements. You probably heard him
[Speaker 0] on there before. And if you, you've been
[Speaker 0] talking to Blueberry at all, Dave is kind
[Speaker 0] of the other support guy. Me, my or
[Speaker 0] me, Sean, and Dave are the support guys
[Speaker 0] over at Blueberry, so you'll get one of
[Speaker 0] us. And, anyway, Dave is also the face
[Speaker 0] of our YouTube channel over at Blueberry Podcasting,
[Speaker 0] YouTube. I don't know. Just look for Blueberry
[Speaker 0] Podcast. Anyway, this isn't a Blueberry commercial. This
[Speaker 0] is a, an episode of Mike Dahl's World.
[Speaker 0] You know what's going on in my world?
[Speaker 0] And to be honest with you, winterizing, basically,
[Speaker 0] winterized both campers, moms and mine. Finally got
[Speaker 0] that all done. Got the boats put away.
[Speaker 0] Got most of the outdoor stuff put away
[Speaker 0] for the winter. I got the snow blowers
[Speaker 0] out. Gonna take the tractor in in a
[Speaker 0] couple of weeks to get it all serviced
[Speaker 0] up and ready for winter. Gotta put the
[Speaker 0] cab and the snowblower on it, but I'm
[Speaker 0] waiting for the rest of the leaves to
[Speaker 0] fall out there so that I can scoop
[Speaker 0] them up with the tractor before I put
[Speaker 0] the snowblower on. That's the plan anyway. But,
[Speaker 0] other than that, haven't been doing a whole
[Speaker 0] lot. Did a little flying, not a lot.
[Speaker 0] It's kind of that time of year where
[Speaker 0] we're getting lake effect rain, so, the weather
[Speaker 0] hasn't really been conducive for flying. So, I
[Speaker 0] think I might hang up my, I guess,
[Speaker 0] it wouldn't be Spurs, but hang up my
[Speaker 0] headset and, wait till spring. I I don't
[Speaker 0] wanna fight weather. You know, just don't yeah.
[Speaker 0] I'm I'm a fair weather pilot, so we'll
[Speaker 0] we'll we'll call it good, for this year,
[Speaker 0] and maybe I can sneak one more in
[Speaker 0] before, before the weather turns to crap altogether.
[Speaker 0] But that's the that's the gist of it
[Speaker 0] anyway. So the other thing that's been going
[Speaker 0] on lately is I've been under a bunch
[Speaker 0] of stress, and and a lot of the
[Speaker 0] stress is brought in by myself. And I
[Speaker 0] haven't really found a great way to alleviate
[Speaker 0] it. And I'm wondering, you know, if I
[Speaker 0] could get some suggestions from you guys, you
[Speaker 0] know, some of the things that, you know,
[Speaker 0] that that you do to alleviate some stress.
[Speaker 0] And a lot of the stuff's brought on
[Speaker 0] by myself. You know, I I overthink everything.
[Speaker 0] You know, I've been overthinking the flying. I've
[Speaker 0] been overthinking the the work situation, you know,
[Speaker 0] with Todd passing away a couple months ago
[Speaker 0] and, you know, we're doing okay here at
[Speaker 0] Blueberry. I don't know. No big deal there.
[Speaker 0] I mean, well, big deal, but not, like
[Speaker 0] I said, nothing nothing is stopping. You know,
[Speaker 0] we're we're chugging along and, planning and I
[Speaker 0] think, making some good organizational changes that will
[Speaker 0] ensure that we stick around for the long
[Speaker 0] term. I plan on sticking around for, at
[Speaker 0] least another bunch of years. You know, I'm
[Speaker 0] not ready to retire yet. So, you know,
[Speaker 0] gotta gotta keep it viable so that, you
[Speaker 0] know but like I said, I just been
[Speaker 0] stressed over silly little things, you know. Overthinking,
[Speaker 0] I guess, would be my my main problem.
[Speaker 0] And then when I do have time to
[Speaker 0] to, relax or de stress or whatever, then,
[Speaker 0] you know, then then it gets worse. Or,
[Speaker 0] you know, I'll sit down. You know, normally
[Speaker 0] reading would be my go to, you know,
[Speaker 0] sit sit back in the easy chair, break
[Speaker 0] out the Kindle, and, you know, just read.
[Speaker 0] But, you know, I get four or five
[Speaker 0] pages into a book or something, and if
[Speaker 0] the stress goes away, I go to sleep.
[Speaker 0] I don't know if that's because I'm getting
[Speaker 0] older. I don't know. But go you know?
[Speaker 0] Or a you know, get reading into, you
[Speaker 0] know, get into a book and, you know,
[Speaker 0] get interested in all that, and then something
[Speaker 0] interrupts me, and I don't get back to
[Speaker 0] it. And, you know, taking a walk or
[Speaker 0] or going for a bike ride, all that
[Speaker 0] stuff, it's just, you know, I don't I
[Speaker 0] don't wanna do that. I just don't. But
[Speaker 0] it's, you know, been pretty much constant this
[Speaker 0] whole year. There's just been, you know, things
[Speaker 0] and stuff coming up, you know, and and
[Speaker 0] a lot of it I'm not in control
[Speaker 0] of. You know, like, gotta go on a
[Speaker 0] trip. I don't wanna go on the trip,
[Speaker 0] but I gotta go on the trip. And,
[Speaker 0] you know, it was good to go on
[Speaker 0] the trip, but, you know, we went out
[Speaker 0] to Minneapolis to to my nephew's wedding, and,
[Speaker 0] yeah, that was all fine and good. But,
[Speaker 0] you know, just the pre trip logistics and
[Speaker 0] all the stuff that goes into planning something
[Speaker 0] like that, e even though, you know, we're
[Speaker 0] just going there to attend. Sounds like I'm
[Speaker 0] gonna have a by here in a second.
[Speaker 0] So if you happen to hear that, that's
[Speaker 0] what's going on, but you might not hear
[Speaker 0] it. I get helicopters flying over the house
[Speaker 0] all the time, and nobody hears it on
[Speaker 0] my microphone. So maybe maybe it's a nonissue.
[Speaker 0] But, you know, just one thing after another
[Speaker 0] after another after another, and, you know, like
[Speaker 0] all this winterizing stuff. Well, you gotta do
[Speaker 0] it when the weather's good. And, you know,
[Speaker 0] you you spend all day doing something you
[Speaker 0] feel accomplished, and then you sit there and
[Speaker 0] you look at your to do list, and
[Speaker 0] you're like, oh man, I got all this
[Speaker 0] other crap to do. Now here comes the
[Speaker 0] fire trucks. Let's see here. Yeah. There he
[Speaker 0] goes. Let's watch him on the camera. Anyway,
[Speaker 0] you know, it just seems like every second
[Speaker 0] of my day has is scheduled. And and
[Speaker 0] this weekend, you know, this past weekend, my
[Speaker 0] my wife took off for Grand Haven for
[Speaker 0] a couple of days or Muskegon, I guess,
[Speaker 0] down to her brother's place for a Michigan
[Speaker 0] wedding reception for the happy couple that got
[Speaker 0] married in Minneapolis. I need to come here
[Speaker 0] and do a little party. I I I
[Speaker 0] didn't have to go. In fact, I really
[Speaker 0] couldn't go because I'm babysitting dogs. So, you
[Speaker 0] know, I've got a I got extra dog,
[Speaker 0] I should say. And we're down to one,
[Speaker 0] and then, and we got a a second
[Speaker 0] dog here that, we have part time just
[Speaker 0] because, his mom is a nurse, and she
[Speaker 0] works twelve hour shifts. But, she took a
[Speaker 0] vacation down to Puerto Rico, which I guess
[Speaker 0] is not getting the big hurricane. I don't
[Speaker 0] know. I chatted with her a little bit
[Speaker 0] today on text, and and, she didn't mention
[Speaker 0] anything about it. So I imagine that everything's
[Speaker 0] okay in Puerto Rico, but, I know she'll
[Speaker 0] she'll be back Wednesday. So I really couldn't
[Speaker 0] go down to this thing with Kathy, which
[Speaker 0] is fine. I, you know, I I went
[Speaker 0] to the wedding and and the reception there
[Speaker 0] in Minneapolis. So or not Minneapolis. I should
[Speaker 0] say an hour or so outside of Minneapolis,
[Speaker 0] but that's where we flew in. And, you
[Speaker 0] know, so I had some time. Well, you
[Speaker 0] know, on Saturday, I, went out and, you
[Speaker 0] know, did the campers and and the boats
[Speaker 0] and, you know, few other little chores around
[Speaker 0] mom's place, which was great. I'm glad to
[Speaker 0] get it done. Feels really good to, get
[Speaker 0] everything accomplished there. And I had all day
[Speaker 0] Sunday to do just what I wanted. So
[Speaker 0] I got up in the morning, did my
[Speaker 0] normal ham radio activity, in case you're in
[Speaker 0] earshot HF wise. At nine o'clock in the
[Speaker 0] morning, I get on thirty nine thirty five
[Speaker 0] for the, what we call, SmashNet, the the
[Speaker 0] Sunday morning social hour. It usually lasts about
[Speaker 0] an hour, but unless you're in Michigan, Ontario,
[Speaker 0] you know, Ohio, Indiana, maybe Illinois, maybe Wisconsin,
[Speaker 0] you're not gonna hear it. But, we get
[Speaker 0] a lot of check ins from around Michigan
[Speaker 0] anyway, mostly in Ontario. And then, you know,
[Speaker 0] and then, at ten thirty, most most Sundays,
[Speaker 0] I get on the I O O K
[Speaker 0] net around, seventy one eighty five, forty meters.
[Speaker 0] And, you know, that that reaches out a
[Speaker 0] little further pretty much, northeast and, Midwest. It
[Speaker 0] covers pretty well. I usually get on there
[Speaker 0] for at least one round and then go
[Speaker 0] off to brunch. So, you know, Sunday, I
[Speaker 0] went off to brunch. And with with a
[Speaker 0] friend of mine, we you know, usually my
[Speaker 0] mom joins us, but she was busy. And
[Speaker 0] and so, you know, we had lunch, and
[Speaker 0] I came home, and I had the whole
[Speaker 0] rest of the day to myself. And what
[Speaker 0] did I do? I sat in the damn
[Speaker 0] chair and watched YouTube all day, which was
[Speaker 0] nice, but, then again, you know, you get
[Speaker 0] to thinking and whatnot and, you know, I
[Speaker 0] just I don't know. It's it's been it's
[Speaker 0] been interesting, and a bit stressful. So, you
[Speaker 0] know, hey. What what stress relief works for
[Speaker 0] you? You'll send that off to me. Mike
[Speaker 0] at mike dell dot com. I always like
[Speaker 0] to hear from you guys, and I know
[Speaker 0] there's somebody out there listening. You know, I
[Speaker 0] get the stats. And, you know, I don't
[Speaker 0] hear a whole lot from you anymore. Speaking
[Speaker 0] of blast from the past, like me doing
[Speaker 0] regular podcasts, listened to trucker Tom today from
[Speaker 0] probably a month, a month and a half
[Speaker 0] ago. And, he was, he was mentioning Todd's
[Speaker 0] passing. Maybe it was two months ago. Jeez.
[Speaker 0] I don't know how long whatever his last
[Speaker 0] episode was. And, you know, he's he's kinda
[Speaker 0] slowed down on the on the publishing because,
[Speaker 0] you know, when you once you retire, you're
[Speaker 0] too busy to have time to podcast. That's
[Speaker 0] what I hear anyway. I don't know. I
[Speaker 0] think you still got some years left. But,
[Speaker 0] anyway, he had mentioned, I'm not sure what's
[Speaker 0] gonna happen with Blueberry. Well, nothing. Nothing's happening
[Speaker 0] with Blueberry. We're we're plugging along just like
[Speaker 0] we always did. But, anyway, it was cool
[Speaker 0] hearing from him. He's been retired for about
[Speaker 0] a year, and, sounds like he doesn't miss
[Speaker 0] the road at all. You know, I I
[Speaker 0] think I would have a hard time, you
[Speaker 0] know, if I was on the road all
[Speaker 0] the time and then all of a sudden
[Speaker 0] I wasn't. I might, I might miss that
[Speaker 0] a little bit. But, you know, I guess,
[Speaker 0] each to their own. I get, you know,
[Speaker 0] being as a truck driver, I imagine being
[Speaker 0] home was is where you wanna be a
[Speaker 0] lot of the time, so maybe he's just
[Speaker 0] not tired of that yet. Plus he got
[Speaker 0] a dog and, you know, getting a dog,
[Speaker 0] you know, that's you're you're in charge of
[Speaker 0] a whole other entity. You know, it's it's
[Speaker 0] not like just being single and and you
[Speaker 0] do whatever you want. You you gotta think
[Speaker 0] about, the critter. It's with us. You know?
[Speaker 0] We we can't just pick up and go
[Speaker 0] all the time because, you know, we got
[Speaker 0] the dog to worry about, and that's just,
[Speaker 0] you know, just how it is. You know,
[Speaker 0] you you choose that kind of thing. And,
[Speaker 0] somebody just pulled in my driveway. Oh, my
[Speaker 0] neighbor. Okay. Cool. Anyway, I shouldn't have my
[Speaker 0] camera up while I'm, podcasting here. I am
[Speaker 0] thinking about doing the, Napod promo again this
[Speaker 0] year, although I wanna do it a little
[Speaker 0] differently. You know, you used to be when
[Speaker 0] I would do that, I I would just,
[Speaker 0] you know, do a little short episode every
[Speaker 0] day and no theme to it. But I
[Speaker 0] think I I wanna do a theme. Here,
[Speaker 0] let me go grab some paperwork here. Hang
[Speaker 0] on. Alright. Yeah. There we go. And kinda
[Speaker 0] what I'd like to do is, you know,
[Speaker 0] this is gonna be life around Northern Michigan,
[Speaker 0] around Traverse City. And, you know, they are
[Speaker 0] gonna be short episodes, but I'm gonna have
[Speaker 0] them kinda mapped out. I've got, you know,
[Speaker 0] a list of episodes here, like, you know,
[Speaker 0] one of them is called a beagle walk
[Speaker 0] through the crunchy leaves. So I'll go take
[Speaker 0] Benny and, go for a walk and put
[Speaker 0] on my portable recorder like I used to
[Speaker 0] do all the time and and, you know,
[Speaker 0] just take a walk and and talk. You
[Speaker 0] know, another one, the road to Interlaken. You
[Speaker 0] probably know what Interlaken is, but, it's a
[Speaker 0] little town south of here. And, they're home
[Speaker 0] to a, art fine arts camp. And, you
[Speaker 0] know, I don't know. I think it'd be
[Speaker 0] kind of fun. It'd be kind of a,
[Speaker 0] a few of these will be remote from
[Speaker 0] the vehicle or from walking and all that,
[Speaker 0] you know, kinda what I used to do
[Speaker 0] back in the day. But, I'm gonna kind
[Speaker 0] of, you know, kind of, you know, talk
[Speaker 0] about stuff from around here. You know, that's
[Speaker 0] that's where I live. This is my world.
[Speaker 0] You know? Like, on Thanksgiving, I'll do a
[Speaker 0] Thanksgiving episode. Thanksgiving up north, you know, traditions,
[Speaker 0] food, weather, all that stuff. The last mowing
[Speaker 0] of the year, you know, talk about that.
[Speaker 0] Snow tires and salt trucks. You know, I've
[Speaker 0] got these kinda mapped out, what I wanna
[Speaker 0] do on what day. And, you know, I
[Speaker 0] might record a few of them ahead of
[Speaker 0] time and then, some of the remote ones,
[Speaker 0] you know, record right around the the day
[Speaker 0] they go out. But, you know, it's, in
[Speaker 0] case you're not familiar with NAPOD POMO, that's
[Speaker 0] National Podcast Posting Month, and it's over at
[Speaker 0] napod pomo dot org. And, Jennifer Navarante, and
[Speaker 0] I think I pronounced her name mostly right.
[Speaker 0] She kinda spearheads that, and I think it's
[Speaker 0] the eighteenth year, Something like that. I know
[Speaker 0] it's been, quite a while. Let me look
[Speaker 0] it up. A pod, po mo dot org.
[Speaker 0] And see if I typed everything right. Yeah.
[Speaker 0] So this is the eighteenth year. So since
[Speaker 0] two thousand seven, and basically, it's a challenge
[Speaker 0] for podcasters to post thirty episodes in thirty
[Speaker 0] days. You know, November first through the thirtieth.
[Speaker 0] And, you know, really, you know, there's no
[Speaker 0] real purpose to it other than, hey. Why
[Speaker 0] not? And, you know, I might be able
[Speaker 0] to put a I did it badge on
[Speaker 0] my website. So stay tuned for that. I
[Speaker 0] think I am gonna do that. The first
[Speaker 0] episode will be November first, and, yeah. Gonna
[Speaker 0] explain all this again. So, but I'll explain
[Speaker 0] it a little bit more. You know, this
[Speaker 0] will be a series of thirty episodes all
[Speaker 0] about, November up north. So whether you're interested
[Speaker 0] or not, well, I appreciate you hanging out
[Speaker 0] and and listening anyway, but should be fun.
[Speaker 0] Again, like I said, I get to do
[Speaker 0] a little bit of, a little bit of
[Speaker 0] sound seeing tours. You know? I I don't
[Speaker 0] know. This can been kinda nostalgia week for
[Speaker 0] me too, and and, I think I had
[Speaker 0] a episode about nostalgia being a being a,
[Speaker 0] a disease. If you take it to the
[Speaker 0] extreme, I guess it could be, but, and
[Speaker 0] I guess that's the the basis of hoarding
[Speaker 0] is nostalgia, but, that's not what I'm doing
[Speaker 0] here. I you know? But, you know, back
[Speaker 0] in the day when podcasting was new, there
[Speaker 0] was a lot of people doing what they
[Speaker 0] called sound seeing tours. Father Roderick did, episodes
[Speaker 0] from the Vatican walking around with his, Sony
[Speaker 0] minidisc recorder and, you know, when they were,
[Speaker 0] you know, picking the new pope after pope
[Speaker 0] John Paul died. And, that was very interesting.
[Speaker 0] Even if you aren't a Catholic, it was
[Speaker 0] a Catholic insider, I think, was what he
[Speaker 0] called it. But, I believe he's still podcasting.
[Speaker 0] He is a podcast hall of famer. But,
[Speaker 0] you know, that's interesting. Speaking of that, you
[Speaker 0] know, with Todd passing away, the a lot
[Speaker 0] of the travel is going to fall on
[Speaker 0] me for these conferences. Now I did plenty
[Speaker 0] of them anyway, but, I'm gonna have to
[Speaker 0] pick up a few extra ones. And, I
[Speaker 0] do have a speaking gig in Florida in
[Speaker 0] January. It's a good time to go to
[Speaker 0] Florida. So looking forward to that, sort of,
[Speaker 0] except for I gotta get my slides together.
[Speaker 0] But, we get a few months, so we're
[Speaker 0] good. Let's see. Okay. I've mentioned just about
[Speaker 0] everything of any great consequence. Yeah. Just, just
[Speaker 0] plugging along here and, trying to stay distressed.
[Speaker 0] No. So like I said, I I do
[Speaker 0] want your your suggestions for distressing, you know,
[Speaker 0] within reason. Yeah. I'm not gonna go run
[Speaker 0] a marathon or or, you know, walk twenty
[Speaker 0] miles or go to the gym. God forbid.
[Speaker 0] No. Actually, I am thinking about joining the
[Speaker 0] gym, but for other reasons. But, anyway and
[Speaker 0] I guess podcasting helps too, you know, getting
[Speaker 0] a little of this off your chest without
[Speaker 0] going into detail. Like I said, I I
[Speaker 0] could go into a lot more detail, but,
[Speaker 0] I don't wanna do that because, you know,
[Speaker 0] some things shall remain private. But, yeah, it's
[Speaker 0] it's very cool. One of the discussions I've
[Speaker 0] been having lately with, you know, teammates and
[Speaker 0] other podcasters and all that is the role
[Speaker 0] of AI in podcasting. Now I've done a
[Speaker 0] fair amount of AI stuff. You know, I
[Speaker 0] even did an experimental episode where I had
[Speaker 0] the AI read it as me. I don't
[Speaker 0] know. It didn't sound good. But a lot
[Speaker 0] of the, podcasting, you know, I think people
[Speaker 0] are gonna looking for authentic human voices, you
[Speaker 0] know, instead of the AI generated content, there's
[Speaker 0] a lot of AI generated content. You know,
[Speaker 0] YouTube is kind of my primary source of
[Speaker 0] television, you know, for the most part. I
[Speaker 0] mean, of course, I still watch Star Trek.
[Speaker 0] My my wife and I, you know, go
[Speaker 0] through all the series in Star Trek, and
[Speaker 0] that's kind of our our thing. And I
[Speaker 0] think we're on the second round of of
[Speaker 0] two and all of them. We're currently in,
[Speaker 0] Star Trek Voyager six season, in case you're
[Speaker 0] keeping track. But, we're watching them in chronological
[Speaker 0] order, not, chronological in the story sense, but
[Speaker 0] chronological in when they came out, to the
[Speaker 0] public. So we're up to Voyager. The next
[Speaker 0] one will be Enterprise, and then, I guess
[Speaker 0] the next one would be Discovery. You know?
[Speaker 0] We we watched Discovery when it was first
[Speaker 0] run on Paramount plus or CBS, whatever. I
[Speaker 0] don't know. It's changed names a couple times.
[Speaker 0] It's on Paramount plus now. So we'll probably
[Speaker 0] watch that through and then, you know, just
[Speaker 0] keep going through the series. And by the
[Speaker 0] time we get back to the original series,
[Speaker 0] we'll have forgotten most of it. And and
[Speaker 0] I've noticed that with Voyager, we'll we'll both
[Speaker 0] sit there and go like, I don't remember
[Speaker 0] this episode. And then halfway through, oh, yeah.
[Speaker 0] I kinda remember it, and I sorta remember
[Speaker 0] it. It's kind of amazing that, you know,
[Speaker 0] in that many years ago, we watched it,
[Speaker 0] and, and here we are watching it again.
[Speaker 0] And, you know, there's a lot of track
[Speaker 0] out there for sure. But, anyway, as get
[Speaker 0] back to YouTube, a lot of times, you
[Speaker 0] know, YouTube will suggest a video, and you
[Speaker 0] you start on the video. And you can
[Speaker 0] tell, obviously, that it's just AI generate slideshow
[Speaker 0] and stock video. And I really try to,
[Speaker 0] thumbs down those and and and bail on
[Speaker 0] them, but some of them are pretty good,
[Speaker 0] I have to say. But I much prefer
[Speaker 0] the actual humans talking, you know, or, you
[Speaker 0] know, I might have got fooled a few
[Speaker 0] times with the you know? But there's, you
[Speaker 0] know, some AI voices out there that immediately
[Speaker 0] you just know that that, oh, yeah. That's
[Speaker 0] the AI guy. You know? It's a good
[Speaker 0] voice and all that, but it's the AI
[Speaker 0] guy. So I I really try not to,
[Speaker 0] watch those. And then amazing thing was all
[Speaker 0] a clickbait. Oh my gosh. It's, you know,
[Speaker 0] So and so is in jail, you know,
[Speaker 0] and and they'll, you know, go through the
[Speaker 0] whole you know? And I'll watch it just
[Speaker 0] because, oh, really? Are they? You know? And
[Speaker 0] and I I watch a guy on there,
[Speaker 0] Derek Berry, vice grip garage. And, he puts
[Speaker 0] out an episode every Friday, and, you know,
[Speaker 0] a lot of the times, he's finding an
[Speaker 0] old car somewhere, fixing it, getting it on
[Speaker 0] the road, and driving it home seven hundred
[Speaker 0] miles or a thousand miles or whatever, you
[Speaker 0] know, from the junkyard. And, you know, that
[Speaker 0] that's interesting stuff, but, you know, he's got
[Speaker 0] a very successful YouTube page. And every once
[Speaker 0] in a our YouTube page. I hate the
[Speaker 0] word page when it comes to YouTube. It's
[Speaker 0] not a page. It's a channel. Anyway and
[Speaker 0] I just did it. But he's got a
[Speaker 0] very successful YouTube channel. There's, you know, clickbait
[Speaker 0] AI videos on there. Derek Berry sends to
[Speaker 0] life. You know? And then you go, and
[Speaker 0] it's just basically a really crappy AI tutorial
[Speaker 0] or a a bio of him, and, you
[Speaker 0] know, nowhere in there does it say he
[Speaker 0] went to jail. So I hope, YouTube can
[Speaker 0] crack down on that crap or at least
[Speaker 0] make it so they're not monetized. You know?
[Speaker 0] It's or maybe, you know, this is AI.
[Speaker 0] You know, I have a big tag or
[Speaker 0] something. You know? But, you know, for most
[Speaker 0] for the most part, I can tell still.
[Speaker 0] You know, it hasn't got that good yet.
[Speaker 0] Although in, Trucker Tom's episode, he did did
[Speaker 0] a a a segment where he put a
[Speaker 0] bunch of his writings in there and then
[Speaker 0] had the AI create an interview, of, you
[Speaker 0] know, two two AI individuals, and that sounded
[Speaker 0] quite good. I mean, I could tell it
[Speaker 0] was not, you know, not real people, but
[Speaker 0] it was it it's getting more convincing. So,
[Speaker 0] yeah, we're kinda wrestling with that at Blueberry.
[Speaker 0] We have AI tools. In fact, you read
[Speaker 0] the show notes of this episode, and I
[Speaker 0] probably will use AI, and the transcript will
[Speaker 0] be AI. So you gotta listen to it.
[Speaker 0] This is an audio medium. Most people don't
[Speaker 0] read the stuff you write anyway, but, you
[Speaker 0] know, I I use our tools to, create
[Speaker 0] the show notes. Why not? You know, it
[Speaker 0] just saves me a step, and I'm not
[Speaker 0] that great a writer. So, anyway, I guess,
[Speaker 0] I wanted to get that little part about
[Speaker 0] AI in there. And, yeah. So what is
[Speaker 0] it? The twenty seventh. So I got, you
[Speaker 0] know, four days, five days, four days, anyway,
[Speaker 0] and you'll hear the first episode of my
[Speaker 0] November up north series on Mike Dell's World
[Speaker 0] for Napaad Pomo. Ninety percent sure I'm gonna
[Speaker 0] do it. So, stay tuned. Thanks for listening.
[Speaker 0] Thanks for all that stuff, and you can
