... we're looking at those recommendations.

I find this an interesting area because, like, I think a lot about ...

I was introducing, um, my daughter to The Wizard of Oz.

She loves The Wizard of Oz.

And then I remembered that this is, like, at its core, a originally satirical text about the need to introduce the s- like, silver into the gold standard for the balancing of the currency.

And that, you know, you have, like, you have the, the Tin Man is your industrial place that is just wants to work business and has no heart.

You have the cowardly politicians.

So for example, Wicked as a response to The Wizard of Oz is sort of, you know, complexifying and darkening up this, you know, anodyne children's happy-go-lucky story, when actually, you know, it, the original story has a fair bit of darkness [laughs] already.

Can you unpack this story for us?

Well, I am in a fun period of one show I finished having ended and having a few weeks.

So I have been going and watching The Odyssey as often as I can just to check they haven't snuck any extra woke in there after the first few weeks.

So Elon Musk has decided that he's going to use his AI, give it a break from just making anime pictures and coming up with new slurs, to go and create a better version of the film that's currently tracking to make about $1.3 billion and more.

uh it has like 97 on rotten tomatoes he will improve that film with his own terrible ai now i have to say i have watched some of the footage already generated of people trying to make this and it is wonderfully i would like the to the level that they redid the scene of the blinding of polymethas uh the cyclops in the cave the famous like uh no one is killing me scene which is that little pun is missing from the film so they've recreated that scene except unfortunately in grok the cyclops has two eyes which is the kind of the one thing that the cyclops absolutely cannot have but He has two eyes, which means even in the blinding of a Cyclops, he's like, ah, well, I can still see you.

It doesn't really affect me that bad.

Now I technically am a Cyclops at least.

Can you tell us more about this story?

Uh, initial thoughts on, on how Anne is manag- I mean, um, how Deborah is managing her discomfort with dogs around her dog lover friend Anne.

It doesn't feel like she has managed it to one bit.

I don't want to start this by going right in on our lovely letter writer who, uh, thank you for contributing to the segment.

I really appreciate your thing, but I know the friends of mine who don't like my dog.

It's very fun to me that they don't like my dog, and I keep the dog away from them.

I think once you have let the dog jump on you and get your boundaries up, it would be like when you break up with someone and then all your friends tell you, "We hated him."

[laughs]

None of his jokes get through.
