Speaker 2
I mean, everyone in this room has won the geographical lottery. Yep.
Speaker 1
Except for you. You're Canadian. I still feel like it did. You're still protected. Hey,
Speaker 3
there was a chance that I grew up in Russia, so I'll take it. You're as protected by America as you can be protected
Speaker 4
by America and not be in America. Do you ever go to Canada? Yeah. My family lives there. I don't live there. Do you go X months, a year, or anything? No, no, no. Do you have to
Speaker 1
do hostile environment training and get prepared to go back because of how bad it is?
Speaker 2
Well, my parents live in a suburb of Toronto, so it's fine. So it's bad, but it's not that bad? It's not that bad, no. I
Speaker 3
worry about going to Canada because of my ex-post. I'm surprised you don't worry about going there because of your comedy routine. Oh,
Speaker 2
I say some crazy stuff. I mean, I made this one thing about Trudeau on Colbert, this AI video that went super viral in Canada. Oh, yeah. You got in trouble for that, didn't you? No, I got in trouble for the Jake Tapper. I didn't get in trouble for the Jake Tapper one. I made this one about the exploding goats, basically when the pagers were going off, and then I said goats, and then Jake Tapper messaged me. What? And he's like, I need to talk to you. Are you joking? No, no, no. I'm friends with Jake Tapper now. And literally he messaged me, because it went mega viral, like tens of millions of views. And then he messaged me on Twitter and he's like, Danny, this is Jake Tapper. I need to talk to you. Text him and
Speaker 3
tell him. And
Speaker 2
I was like, I'm in so much trouble because I need two different ones. And then Jake Tapper. Well, I just thought he was like, stop using my face for your comedy videos. Like, stop it or whatever. Or we're going to see like,
Speaker 1
hey, this was really funny.
Speaker 2
Yeah, he was like, can you make me an AI video for CNN because I want to do a segment about the dangers
Speaker 1
of AI? And I'm like, I'm the danger. Did he do the segment? Yeah, he did the segment. Because I'm like, it's going to show you with a Hitler mustache? No. This guy did
Speaker 2
this to me. No, but then he's making it. And his whole top concern right now is to say I stuff. And he went on Seth Meyers. He was talking about me and he called me. Get him
Speaker 3
to tell his wife to drop out of the New Hampshire race because I don't want her to be my congressperson. I
Speaker 2
mean, I have his phone number, but I'm not going to do that. Give it to me. No.
Speaker 3
Jake. Tell her to drop out. She's running? She's running against Lily Tang. She
Speaker 1
lives in New Hampshire? Oh,
Speaker 3
yeah. For the purpose of going going to Congress Right because he must live in New York I'm sure he does
Speaker 1
How long has she lived in
Speaker 4
New Hampshire? I have
Speaker 3
no idea Long enough to be like oh I want to run for president But she's totally backed by like She's trying to be what a congresswoman? Yeah she's trying to take the New Hampshire second
Speaker 4
congressman Shout out to Lily Tang Williams I like her a lot she's been on the show Lily's great If you're a voting kind and you're in New Hampshire, you should go vote for her. She's from China. She understands, big on gun
Speaker 3
rights. She understands self-sovereignty and outporting. Jake Tapper's wife is a total, like, deep state apparatchik. No joke, she is. Yeah. I believe it. I'm not kidding at all.
Speaker 4
So now you and Jake are tight. Yeah. You've been working on, so I kind of want to see one of these videos. Why
Speaker 1
don't you get him in a video with you and Ryan? You know what it is? I
Speaker 2
said this on the Boys cast, but so his produced, he basically was like, can you make me this video of me speaking? And he gave me all these things to write. And I was like, sure, I'll make it for you. It only takes me like 20 minutes. And then in it, funny enough, he said, like in the text he said this video was made by this brilliant comedian Danny Palachuk and I kind of like rolled my eyes I was like whatever this is what he wanted and then I made it and I was in a group chat with him and his producer and then I sent them the video and then she messaged me uh like off to the side just one-on she, hey, can you remake the video but just remove the word brilliant? But I was like, those were his words. I didn't even want to say that. What's that? I would have just been like, sorry, that's what Jake wanted. Well, what I understand is that... I'm making fun of CNN. You should just add no. I'm making fun... Obviously, I'm like, CNN is somewhat the butt of the joke to a degree here, and they're trying to be like trying to use this. And so he can't like totally endorse me publicly. You could have taken out Brilliant but put like genius. Here you go. I fixed it. Mega genius comedian. Handsome. No, I just want you to just remove that.
Speaker 1
You said remove it. I did.
Speaker 2
And then he went on Seth Meyers. Yeah, he went on Seth Meyers, and he's like, this comedian is making these gross videos. Did
Speaker 1
they show a picture of your face where your skin was turned green like Rogan? Oh, yeah. No, no. They're like, look at him. He looks terrible. So what do you think about? It made you fatter.
Speaker 4
What do you think about regulating AI?
Speaker 2
Honestly, so I make all these AI videos. I've been making them for the last month. And there is some percentage, not a small percentage of people who cannot tell the difference between real and fake things. They just can't. I don't know if it's because their glasses aren't on. They're not paying attention. I don't know. But the exploding goats video I made, that was the first one I made that went super viral. I got a Snopes fact check. Like Snopes contacted me and they're like, hey, can I ask you some questions? We're doing a fact check. I'm like, you're talking to a comedian right now. So that should be the end of your fact check. who are saying that the IDF is, Mossad is blowing up goats in whatever Lebanon, like all these goats in Lebanon are exploding and people are saying this as fact, so we need to do a fact check on it. And there's just, there's some degree of people. I don't know what the, like if there's negative repercussions of that. Like, I think it's fine. I agree it probably shouldn't be in political ads, but maybe
Speaker 1
it should be.
Speaker 2
I mean, if it is, it'll get so out of hand. And I'll gladly, if anybody wants me to make them, I'm getting pretty good at it. You just
Speaker 1
use like an app or what?
Speaker 2
I use this thing. It's called, it's actually just like an open source. It's called Easy Wave to Lip. It's like a GitHub repo. And then you just run it in a Google collab, like just a source. It's really easy. And then what do you make? You just take in the source. Yeah, so I write a script, and then I put it into this 11 Labs voice cloner thing, and then you just get a source. You get a source audio, and then it clones it, and then you just export the text, and then you just sync them to the audio and video. Does it make the mouth move like jake tapper's mouth yeah yeah yeah and it
Speaker 4
looks almost real yeah
Speaker 2
i made an anderson cooper one for about the wnba and like you like honestly if you're looking at it you can tell but if you're kind of like there's a lot of people who see these and cannot
Speaker 1
tell it could be because they have bad eyes i'm not being yeah yeah no no seriously seriously and that like the screen might be a little blurry, and so it just looks like Anderson's talking. But I purposely
Speaker 2
make them outlandish enough where you're like, clearly this is not real. Why don't you make one right now where just like, Trump won, it's over. Well, because I don't want to get deported. I
Speaker 4
agree with you about political. I think it's risky. I mean, you know what
Speaker 2
they do? Oh, actually, yeah, don't do that. Douglas
Speaker 4
Mackey, right? Like,
Speaker 2
that guy's in jail for, like, seven years. He
Speaker 1
didn't
Speaker 4
make it either. I know.
Speaker 2
And I'm very conscious of the fact that I could cross some line and wind up in prison.
Speaker 4
Yeah. Just by making an AI video. Like, if
Speaker 2
I do one that I'm like, oh, no, that's comedy. And they're like, yeah. Well, we don't should make one of
Speaker 1
Ryan Long saying that.
