 And we've got Independence Day on Tuesday.
 Yes.
 Hot dog days.
 Hot dog days.
 Hot dogs and burgers.

 Hot dog eating contest.
 I think the island is on.
 You're right.
 You're right.
 How many hot dogs could you eat?
 Nate?
 Like, give me the number.
 Like, how many could you put down?
 If these stomach.
 Give me a number, you guys stick to it.
 We might do this one day.
 God's honest, at least six.
 Okay.
 Six.
 Yeah.
 With chili or just basic.
 They don't need chili on them.
 No.
 But bun and bun and leaner six.
 Interesting.
 Sawyer.
 And that's like in my low estimate.
 Did you do six?
 Okay.
 Four.
 I eat graces in the room.
 You got to name yours.
 How many graces?
 Three.
 Okay.
 Yeah.
 I think I could do four.
 I can easily.
 I feel like I could say six.
 Yeah.
 And I'd get after four.
 I go.
 Done.
 I think I could do six.
 And not feel great, but feel okay.
 But probably eight would.
 I could get eight down.
 But then I would be like.
 I know.
 I know.
 No, I should.
 Then they're down.
 That have a t-shirt.
 Oh.
 Oh.
 Interesting.
 I'm sorry.
 I have to get into the liquor.
 Back in my day.
 Yeah.
 Back in your day.
 Yeah.
 Yeah.
 Independence day.
 Coming up.
 Yes.
 And we got the grimace shake, which we just.
 Is it turned.
 We just started talking about.
 Yes.
 We did.
 Pretty upset.
 I'm like.
 I was trending.
 I had a couple of things going on.
 I had a few littleious.
 Maybe the last one.
 And so all very flavored special edition shake.
 It's all raised on take today.
 Yes.
 And it's, we talked about this a couple of weeks ago.
 And last week, what McDonald's is trying to bring back their
 mascots.
 I'm very sure.
 Right.
 They're all going to come back.
 They're all going back.
 But now they have this grimace shake to celebrate.
 Grimace's birthday and the Internet has just taken it to the
 next level.
 Yeah.
 It's the joke is.
 It's funky color.
 So you take Zip and.
 Things go south in a hurry.
 Yes.
 They're doing all kinds of almost like short films practically.
 Yes.
 they're almost reminiscent of Vine,
 which is how unhinged they are.
 Yes.
 And literally things goes out in a hurry.
 They go either instant death or psychotic.
 Yes.
 Yes.
 Yes.
 Episodes, like IE Blair Witch.
 Yes.
 It's quite funny.
 I'd give it a shot out.
 I don't know if this is what McDonald's is going for,
 but they say what is a good publicity,
 any publicity is good publicity.
 They're selling more of them just to make these videos.
 They're not complaining.
 Speaking of any publicity is good publicity.
 I don't know if this applies,
 but the Titan sub,
 even update as everyone I'm sure knows it did in fact implode.
 Yeah.
 And the area where they believe it imploded
 is being probed and they're going to have a memorial
 for the father and son who were on board.
 It's not funny.
 It's not funny.
 I'm not laughing,
 but the only way I can think about it without getting to,
 without spiraling is to laugh at it.
 Right.
 Because it's just so ludicrous, but that's the update.
 They didn't implode it how fast it didn't play like 30.
 Like, oh, it's mashed like a can under your foot.
 Yep.
 Just like an egg.
 That's much better to me on the bottom.
 I'm being like trapped with your eye.
 I can't think about it.
 I can't think about it.
 Would you like to be a dry, die instantly or die slowly?
 Just done and done.
 Blow the can.
 Or would you just not be dumb enough to get on a aircraft
 that's going towards 12,000 euro?
 A craft.
 Here's the thing.
 I would skydive.
 I would go scuba diving.
 I would snorkel all of those things.
 But if.
 I'll prove it.
 Exactly.
 Exactly.
 Exactly.
 I'm not going to be the.
 There's been enough trips down there to prove that it's safe.
 There's been one million types.
 Also, it's the Titanic.
 Have we not learned our lesson?
 Yeah.
 Let them rest in peace.
 I know.
 Probably cursed.
 That's what I think.
 But that's my thought.
 Yeah.
 You got some iPhone news.
 Your iPhone will suit.
 This is so creepy.
 Your iPhone will soon be able to replicate your voice after 15 minutes of training.
 Does Apple get your name right?
 Does Siri get your name right?
 Yes.
 Yes.
 Siri does not get my name right.
 It didn't.
 But it learned, I think.
 Yeah.
 I have to do Alfred said Alfred.
 Yeah.
 As always.
 Yes.
 Everyone was called the Alfred.
 I've spent the curse because there's only one L.
 Yeah.
 Ryan Alfred.
 It's Ryan Alfred.
 And.
 Totally.
 I would do the same thing.
 Because it's ALL of all.
 Right.
 Yazy with his MSNS.
 It's not a Z.
 It's fine.
 But Apple has announced a series of new accessibility tools for its iPhone and iPad devices, including
 personal voice, a feature that replicates a user's voice after 15 minutes of training.
 Yeah.
 It's a little scary.
 For people with.
 I've got to hear it.
 I've got to hear vision and hearing.
 I think a lot more longer than 15 minutes to train this accent that lived in New York.
 So it's not as bad as it used to be.
 But it's still Southern and it's deep.
 And I've got to hear it to believe it.
 Mine would be very easy.
 I already sound like Siri.
 You're going to have that radio like you had a very nice female voice and actress voice like a professional voice.
 Sure.
 But I would think maybe because of how polished it is, it might be easier to.
 Right.
 You should be like, ah, this already.
 The new voice of Siri.
 Yes.
 That would be my goal.
 Maybe.
 It's fun and freaky.
 We'll see.
 I don't know what they're going to do with that.
 Yeah.
 As speaking as someone who is fortunate and not visually or.
 I don't know.
 Orally impaired.
 Orally impaired.
 Orally impaired.
 Orally impaired.
 Orally impaired.
 Okay.
 Yeah.
 We got some red cast news.
 This week called the red cast Tuesday.
 We had Kelly Siegel.
 Kelly.
 Truly hard in life, including his abs.
 They really really barely had a great time with Kelly.
 He came in, flew in.
 We spent a couple days together talking business life.
 And all things his journey.
 He's recovering alcoholic.
 He admitted that he's been through it all.
 But he gets through a lot of the sense that I'm changing.
 And he's never having, he's having the time of his life still.
 Yes.
 Yeah.
 He is a serious guy and really.
 Fectious personality.
 One could say.
 Truly infectious.
 And I like, I don't know, just positive.
 He'll say anything.
 And he's just himself.
 Yeah.
 Unapologetically Kelly Siegel.
 Yeah.
 So I hope you checked that out.
 It launched on Tuesday.
 And you'll for wherever you just pocket wherever you're listening to this.
 Just go back one track.
 Yep.
 Yeah.
 You'll listen to Kelly.
 So VK dot global on Instagram to find some footage of Kelly
 with our brand new CBD roll on.
 Yes.
 That's right.
 You may not, you may or may not be able to paint on the ads.
 We cannot confirm nor deny.
 Yeah.
 We can't confirm nor deny.
 But if you go to roll off the pain.com, get it.
 I get it.
 Yep.
 Gold star.
 Yes.
 Look.
 I did a video.
 You're going to see this on the, if you go to VK dot global on Instagram.
 It'll be on the gram.
 I think it's the next few days.
 You've got to schedule.
 But literally I had some ligament issues major issues on my left hand over doing it.
 Like we always like to do.
 And then thinking it was fixed and it wasn't fixed and hurting it again.
 There's been the only thing that's made my arm feel better.
 And I have to tennis.
 Oh, but I'm going to get older.
 You're falling apart.
 Apart.
 But luckily, I rolled on and the paint falls off.
 Roll off the pain.
 Yes.
 That is true.
 Yes.
 It actually has healing properties.
 This isn't.
 Oh, it feels good for 15 seconds.
 It doesn't just treat the symptoms.
 No.
 It doesn't.
 Has healing properties.
 It's been great for me.
 And I've had a lot of feedback from people that we've given it to.
 And so it's now available for sale at roll off the pain.
 That comment.
 I'll take you right to it.
 And it is a game changer.
 If you work out and need sore muscles or have any ligament issues.
 Or strains and certain things.
 It's a topical roll on.
 Feels good.
 Does have that cooling effect, which people like.
 Yes.
 We love the peppermint.
 Yes.
 Tingly.
 Rub it on sore muscles.
 Wherever you want.
 Especially your abs.
 If you want to get them six back.
 Give them a shout out.
 You always go to take a vacate.com to see the whole product line or roll off the pain.com
 for the CBD roll on.
 You'll thank me for it.
 I'm telling you.
 Because it actually works.
 All those shit out there.
 Doesn't really work.
 I see hot talking about you.
 Sorry.
 I've used you.
 This is a testimonial.
 This is a non-testimonial for you.
 I don't care what Shaq says.
 Shaq's paid.
 You're not.
 That's right.
 Give him a shout out.
 On to our social media news.
 Got chat GPT.
 All been here again.
 Open AI's chat GPT app can now search the web.
 But only on.
 Bing.
 The app has added a new feature of browsing that allows users to search the web.
 AI powered chatbot.
 The new feature is enabled from the settings page and is available for both iOS and Android versions
 of the chat GPT app.
 Here we go.
 Like the browser wars again.
 It's only on bling or bling.
 I was thinking of one of the girls at our office got engaged this week.
 And she's got bling on.
 I think in the bling nature.
 Bing.
 Yes.
 Bing.
 Yeah.
 Yeah.
 Yeah.
 I do chat GPT.
 I freaking love it.
 It's very useful.
 I know it's coming for some people.
 It's just for a lot of different things.
 But it's making my job easier.
 But it's good jobs.
 It's even good for ideas.
 Like I found myself.
 I have the app now, which is very handy.
 Like things that I would have never used it for.
 I'm like, maybe I'll see what that says.
 We asked.
 How should I push my son if he does?
 We asked last week if a gorilla or a grizzly bear would win in a fight.
 And chat GPT came back with some very interesting.
 It was a summary.
 It gives like all of the stats of each animal and says that hypothetically in this situation,
 the grizzly bear would probably win.
 But this would never happen because these two animals are never in the same place.
 No, never.
 But they are significantly larger.
 Yeah.
 The grizzly bear is very strong.
 I don't know.
 I'll point you out.
 I'll point you out.
 We had a poll in the office.
 It's the answer platform.
 We had the answers.
 There you go.
 Not problems.
 Solutions.
 That's what I like about it.
 I think that's what I like about it.
 There's everything else in my life.
 It's a problem.
 And this is just makes it easier.
 It's not everything.
 But you know, we're the father of kids and husband like that.
 You're just not always putting out fires.
 Yeah.
 Now fires.
 Yeah.
 That's the boat that I'm in.
 Just a contained dumpster fire.
 At least it's contained.
 Yeah.
 Twitter's former CEO has a new app that looks a lot like Twitter.
 Jack Dorsey, the co-founder and former CEO of Twitter has developed a new social media app called Blue Sky.
 It's been downloaded 375,000 times already from Apple.
 100,000 times on Google Play.
 But it's invite only.
 I went to download this today and you didn't get an invite.
 I had to add.
 I'm on the wait list.
 Yeah.
 Jack sent me a personal invite to having got on yet.
 I have too many apps as it is.
 Blue Sky.
 But it's like, what do you?
 Do we need another one?
 I get it.
 I'm always torn.
 I can't even swing between.
 We don't need a new one.
 And I want to be on it first before it takes off.
 Yeah.
 It's fine.
 And I get it.
 I want to go back to the original.
 Yeah.
 And I get it.
 He even talked to Moby.
 Who was on our show.
 I'm going to name drop a little bit.
 There you go.
 But Moby talked about.
 He's not under a remark because he said he was buddies with Elon.
 He's even gone off the cliff.
 The reservation a bit.
 It's.
 And power.
 Yeah.
 Yeah.
 And so Jack's probably like, all right, I'm going to start it and make it.
 Get it back.
 Get it back.
 Get it back.
 Get it back.
 Back on trend.
 Yeah.
 We'll see.
 But I just don't want to deal with another half.
 Totally.
 Yeah.
 How many times like.
 It's overwhelming.
 Yeah.
 It's overwhelming.
 So it's not surprising though.
 No.
 You've got a lot of money and a lot of time.
 So much time.
 Let's start with the blue sky.
 Right.
 Yeah.
 TikTok is now testing a new option to create an AI-generated avatar as your profile picture.
 I don't know who wants this.
 Yeah.
 That's it's a big deal.
 Well, these things for the sake of doing it.
 Yeah.
 And to be the first.
 Yeah.
 And I feel like it's they're playing back to.
 I do think they had the thing.
 It was probably.
 I'm going to say.
 Before the holidays like October to the wartime friend, they had this app go like very viral.
 Everybody's doing like.
 You upload your picture.
 Yeah.
 Yeah.
 Oh, yeah.
 20 things.
 Yes.
 I did take part of that.
 That was fun.
 Like seeing like superhero versions of yourself or whatever.
 Yeah.
 I'm assuming it's a similar type thing where they create an avatar.
 Sure.
 That might be.
 Sure.
 A little overblown version of yourself.
 Whatever that looks like.
 Yeah.
 Later almost.
 But it to your point.
 Someone asked me.
 It feels like it.
 It just feels like emoji to me.
 Yeah.
 But I'm old.
 Or I'm getting there.
 I'm feeling old.
 So this is really, really, really, not cool.
 I don't know.
 It's just kind of.
 It's like you know,
 I'm talking about social media news now are on two marketing news, orio and super Mario are teams up to defeat Bowser with a limited edition cookie.
 You never know what orio is going to pull.
 is embossed with their embossed with 16 unique designs depicting Super Mario heroes and villains.
 I think we talked about this on the past. There used to be absolutely one type of work.
 You had Oreo then you had double stuff forever and forever. I feel like it wasn't that long ago.
 Like five, six, seven years ago, maybe a little bit longer, but when I was a kid, that's how it's all rolling together.
 But they never mess with it. He's had the double stuff if you needed the extra cream.
 And now we are on the the furthest end of it. Like,
 ultimate, have you seen the ultimate stuff, but mega stuff, whatever ultimate mega triple kitchen right now.
 Yes. And they have the thin ones. Yeah. And in the day you got peanut butter stuff, you got like
 small, very stuff. I'm a golden Oreo. That's amazing. I'm a golden Oreo with a welcome
 edition. The rest I can give up. Golden Oreo is my favorite golden. They're out there.
 I don't know. Don't tell me that. I haven't had lunch either. That's what I had for a lot.
 I might. But look, they're doing it. They've obviously pushed well outside of that room.
 And they experimented the product line. And so now they're teaming up with Nintendo.
 Yes. Did you know that Oreo's are vegan? Absolutely not. Yes. The stuff is vegan.
 They're a hundred percent vegan. It's all oil. There's no dairy in those suckers.
 I'm not surprised at that. So do with that info what you will. But I ate them a lot back when I was
 playing. Is this kind of a squeaky? Does this mean it will last forever? Probably not.
 They probably too long and uncomfortably long time. The ultimate stuff is my last forever because
 it's really just stuff. Yeah. It's to you. Stuff. Stuff. What's it? It's oil based stuff.
 All right. Don't get too hard about it. Taco Bell is serving of Y2K nostalgia with
 Paris Hilton for the volcano menu return. The brand is partnered with Paris Hilton for the return
 of the 2000s fan favorite, the volcano menu. This returned this week yesterday actually.
 And Taco Bell is becoming the latest brand to tap into 2000s nostalgia and pairing the return
 of a fan favorite menu with the icon that is Paris Hilton. What was the volcano menu?
 I don't remember. But I know Paris Hilton made. I remember the name. Yeah. And Paris Hilton made
 the phrase that's so hot famous. Yeah. So they're combining that. She might be ageless.
 Like she kind of looks exactly. She is. She is like a force. And now that she's
 as whatever her team, she's brilliant. Yeah. I think she's way smarter and no one ever
 gave her credit. A better business person. But she doesn't like she ever ages that. She's got
 really good. Yeah. She's got some great people who work on her face. That's for sure.
 I see her in like her body looks the same and her petite and then she doesn't. She doesn't look
 like she's had a ton of work done. But she looks amazing. No. And you would have thought
 or make any assumptions here. But living the party lifestyle doing all that,
 that it would start to maybe put a wet, so to speak. I'm trying to find this volcano menu.
 But I think she's done a great job of staying current. Yeah. And obviously not partying too hard.
 And when I look back and think I don't see Nicole Richie, maybe party the little too hard.
 Or even Lindsey Lohen who's on the upswing. But like you got Lindsey and Brittany and
 yeah, all the women of the Y2K galley's. But yeah, and then you look at Brittany just
 lately lost it. And maybe she's always susceptible to that. But she was all of her. What is it?
 Conservatory ship. Yeah. All that nonsense. Conservatory like Professor Plum and the
 Conservatory ship. Like her dad. Oh yeah, I love him. That's a great movie too.
 It we're talking too much. Malibu Rum, which I love, is joining the remix trend with updating
 the Pina colada song. We just talked about this song last week. Remember? Oh yeah. And they
 Malibu has now released a remix of the Pina colada song. And the remix is accompanied by a
 limited edition. Pina colada themed clothing collection from resort wear brand Kenny Flowers as
 the rum brand attempts to tap into the cocktails summer surge in popularity. I have to hear the
 remix. But I love playing into this. It makes sense. It's a very nostalgic song. I had the lyrics
 on my notes. My half. So good. The line is drops on July 10th, which is National Pina colada day.
 Yes. In fact, there it is. We'll have Pina coladas maybe for the next day. There you go. That's
 the fried next Friday's the what's seventh. I'm like that. Yeah, seventh. So we need to have a
 Pina colada in honor of pregame. Pina colada. And we'll get started to queue up. If you like
 Exactly. There you go. So you can go in the right now. That's terrible. That's terrible.
 For sure. I tried a little too high. I probably couldn't get a whole song in that key. But
 we'll get started to play the cover to it. And then you sing it. Oh, that's really fun. And I'll
 drink a Pina colada while you guys perform. This is sounding great. Hashtag. Thank you.
 We're wasting the back using the roll on. Oh, yes. So we got for our news today. I know.
 Very chill summer themed. Hey, we got to keep it light folks. It's summer. You're having to
 get time. We don't need to weigh you down with lots of we are not at the bottom of the ocean.
 Yes. I'm so obsessed with that Titan. It's bad. It's a strong one. But it's my personality now.
 Yeah. I just I try to think about it. It makes me get a little creepy just being deep down
 into an ocean like that. That was the when all that was happening. I could not pay the engine
 because I was like it made me that's how that was big guy. Even that too. I can get like
 glossary sometimes. I'm like, but too much too much. You can't go anywhere. No. Yeah.
 Heat it. Rest in peace for them. Yep. All right. And hopefully no more. Yeah.
 Stay out of the demo. So go to the beach. Loot alone. Yeah. It's called body surfing and
 stuff for both the water. I think we belong that deep below the water. No, I'm sorry.
 Either go check out roll off the pain if you really want to truly remove pain.
