Do those present an opportunity for the data center build-out?

Definitely.

A- and the reason for that is quite often we're paying those renewable assets to turn off.

Um, y- you know, that doesn't make a lot of economic sense to do so, uh, particularly if you can build data centers, uh, that can take that offtake from those, uh, renewable, uh, energy sources.

Uh, that both increases the economic, um, security of, of Scotland and the UK as a whole, uh, but it also solves some of those curtailment costs as well.

The challenge is, of course, why do we build data centers where we build them? And historically, that's been really sort of proximity to the customer driven.

You know, latency matters at the end of the day.

But Evans says it could also help the nation find a strategic edge in the AI race.

Right.

This is, like, two and a half liter.

It's, it's cool.

So I just did a short run of those, and those are in, like, five or six fabrics, so, like, MultiCam X50, um, black, uh, UX10, the top secret white hemp X-Pac that I don't know anything about.

Don't ask.

Sorry.

Um-

What are you thinking here?

[laughs]

And so I do think, I think both sides play into it.

First of all, just knowing that every comedian bombs.

I've, I've listened to a ton of comedy podcasts and read books on comedy, and they love to tell bomb stories of good comics to each other.

People who have worked for years are just like, they're...

And other comics enjoy it when you bomb too, so at least somebody is enjoying it.

[laughs] But I, I think being and knowing that it's not, there's failure in everything you try.

Mm.

Mm.

So, um, so we brought him home and immediately ra- uh, and, and, and the vet, the vet suggested that he should have further tests and he should have an endoscopy.

Um, and that needed to be done at a referral hospital, and they recommended a hospital in Marlow, in Buckinghamshire called The Ralph, which was about an hour's drive from us.

Um, and, and so he was booked in.

Uh, we had to ring the hospital.

They gave us a appointment about two weeks, in two weeks' time, and we rang the hospital and said, "No, no, no, he needs to be seen really quickly." And so they gave us an appointment on the Thursday, so, um, about thirty-six hours after we'd brought him home.

Um, so on the Thursday, so we carried on taking him for, him for a walk with Willow, and they carried on doing their normal routine.

Resistance.

You've never wanted easy.

I've always been, you know, high achieving.

Even when I was drinking, you know, I, I did a lot of, you know, good things career-wise, out of career, you know.

I, I'd always done everything to a high standard and, you know, part of that was on me, and it's just who I am.

You know, if I'm gonna do it, I do it well.

Um, and I always said when I married Kate, I was like, "I never want us to be just dull.

I never want us to be boring.

Yeah.

Yep.

About a week after that, we started having a lot of deaths spring up.

This is kind of where the, I guess, the exposure and the curiosities with what you do for work has come from me because straight off the bat, it was within three weeks we had A mate of mine that I'd gone to high school with, he unfortunately was hit by a train.

Oh, shoot.

Then we had a car full of people down the Gold Coast that there was a freak accident and they were on the side of the road.

And these are people that had gone to primary school and or high school and had all been around.

You know, we lost a family friend to cancer and I turned around to my girlfriend at the time.

Yeah, okay.

So when did you get into stand-up comedy? How did that start? Yeah.

You know, I think I tried it a few times, like around 2013, 2015 or so.

You know, I had always loved stand-up comedy, but then, you know, it didn't occur to me that regular people could do it.

I thought that, you know, you would...

Growing up, I watched Maria Bamford and a young Adam Sandler on...

Comedy Central and I thought well these people were made in a factory obviously I don't but then I moved to Austin and it had a fun comedy scene and then I just happened to run into a few people that were normal humans that were doing comedy and I thought well I would love to try this too.

And so I went and did a few open mics, which is nobody's ever been to a comedy open mic.

Now, have you ever delivered a foal? That's a

and just like observational humor.

Right.

And so I thought, oh, OK, this actually is something that everybody can do.

So that made me want to try it.

And then so, you know, at that point, it's, you know, 2016, 17.

And that, you know, there's enough Internet you can get on and be like, oh, this open mics thing.

to find around.

That's right.

recording real quick how much did you sell it

for millions i mean that's why i have the free time to to talk to you No, you know, here's how I recommend people take ivermectin if you're interested.

You know, like if you're at home, you're like, I want some.

So take the entire horse tube.

You know, it's like a long tube.

You know, it's like eight inches long.

Yeah, it's for a horse.

pliers.

what is this going to cost me this time? But what kind of pressures do you think veterinarians carry that their clients might not even realize from that perspective?

Yeah, from the financial perspective, I would love for clients to understand like veterinary medicine is not subsidized by the government in any way.

So nobody's helping us provide this service to you.

So we're true businesses.

And whether it's a small business owned by the veterinarian who you're seeing or it's owned by a corporation, which people have a lot of negative feelings about, either way about it, it's a business and it needs to operate as such.

And so you have the overhead for the building, you have the overhead for all the employees, you have all the medications, the equipment, all of that stuff has to be paid for.

And none of those people, the person you're paying rent to, your employees expect to be paid.

What about the people side of things from a pressure standpoint? Does vet school prepare you for the tough conversations that you have to have with people or putting up with people who are angry or crying or whatever it might be?

[laughs] Classic.

Um, so what this kind of seems to be is that, um, Lance very eloquently and more knowledgeably than I could explained private cloud compute and how all this interacts with Siri AI.

Um, the gist seems to be based on Apple's press release and, uh, the EU's very brief statement, is that that would need to be opened up to allow other competitor AI services access to data from your sort of Apple ecosystem.

And Apple either see, either does not want this to happen or sees this as a security risk, and has offered a couple of things to the EU, and the EU has said, "No, this, uh, doesn't work with our interoperability laws."

Mm.

Um, so at this, at this, so at the moment, uh, watchOS 26, the current generation of, uh, operating system for the Apple Watch, uh, supports 11 different watches from the Apple Watch Series 6 and upwards, uh, all the Ultras, the SE2, and the SE3.

So out of those 11 watches, five are getting the chop when it comes to watchOS 27.

Um, so that is, uh, Series 6, 7, and 8, the older SE2, and the Apple Watch Ultra, uh, the original Apple Watch Ultra.

Absolutely not.

Well, I've heard they're incredibly mean.

They are not.

I mean, they are horse-ish, but they are wild animals.

Very, very mean.

Yes, dangerous to handle.

And so, yeah, I am...

You're... wait not a comedy thing a vet thing at the you

Yeah

... like a bubble with a hole, and then that has a big cotton wick in it, and that's your main oiling point.

So there's wicks all throughout the machine, but you'll have one big one usually on these industrials.

Fill that up with oil, and then it distributes throughout the rest of the wicks and throughout the mechanics of the machine.

Uh, you can also, and like we did on FaceTime, you can open that front part of the machine, and there's more wicks in there, and you should oil those, too.

Uh, but I think it's really important to note this.

When you oil your machine, there is going to be excess, and that was a lesson I learned because I got oil on a project.

Mm-hmm.
