My name's Dusty Slai.

0:20.3

I'm one of their three hosts. Uh, as usual. Our other

0:24.0

two hosts are Aaron Weber and Brian Bates. Okay. All right. All right. And we're pumped to be here.

0:33.9

Uh, it's a Wednesday for you. It's a Monday for us. The day of the week doesn't matter.

0:40.1

Yeah, we don't know when they're watching. They're listening to this.

0:43.0

Yeah, what time is it, does it? It's about 4 o'clock.

0:45.5

Yeah, it could be anytime for people, you know.

0:49.3

This is, this lives on YouTube. This could be, you could be watching this in the year 2029 for all I know.

0:57.0

If you had the option to not have to sleep, would you take it? Like, let's say you didn't need

1:02.8

to get any kind of energy. You could stay up 24 hours a day. Would you want that?

1:07.4

Yeah, if I didn't have to, yeah, I think I would. I've raised this question before because, but then you'd lose out on just like escape. Some people use sleep for escape. Mm-hmm.

1:40.8

night and then you go, you know what? I'll just sit up and then I'll go to work in

1:45.1

the morning. You never enjoy that. See you guys later. I got to go have a sit. Yeah. You just

that whittle now? It's got it gone down by virtually 90%. I would say I think every old man whittled back in the day. Yeah. Because you're sitting and you got nothing to do. Well, yeah, no phones. And it's like, the phones are destroying our lives. They are. And now they're building data centers everywhere. It's like, what are we even doing with these things? Did Bill and run right next to the zoo?

2:34.7

Yeah, I think, you know, but then, you know, like they put out, some celebrities put out videos. I'm not going to say their names, but they were like, they go, build it somewhere else.
