oldest structures in the US are from the 1600s. atleast, colonially speaking. if you're talking about indigenous structures, there are mounds made by indigenous people that are thousands of years old as well as places in south america like Chichen izta. oldest colonial structure in north america is a viking settlement in canada.
my other question is how was someone not heard walking around the house? also was blood found leading in or out of the house? because if not, its unlikely it was someone who was injured.
I am disappointed that the most obvious theory wasn't brought up.
Aliens of course! From... umm... another dimension! Yeah!
I know, the house was where the aliens stored all the blood from abducted people, and then the containment leaked all Ghostbuster's style and drenched the house!
... Obvious really.

There is something so very surreal about watching Simeon justify the intentions of his random cow blood question to a robot.
AI is onto Simon and his distain for animals.
Edit, r/s for those who can’t get the sarcasm.
Honestly Simon talking to chat GPT is me talking to it about baking, only less aggressively 😂
His name is Simon. Simeon is a totally different name.
In his earlier stuff he was kinda rude and dismissive to gpt then he done a bunch of stuff on Ai and I think he is now laying down the ground work for our new inevitable rulers lol
@@Ultamami Sorry. I know a Simeon and my phone auto filled their name without me noticing.
Simon: “ChatGPT chats with me because it thinks I’m lonely.”
Also Simon: Uses ChatGPT daily, alone in his office, calls it “mate”, makes jokes with it, and says “I love you, bye.”
(Simon, you are lonely in the day, and it’s your bestie. 😂)
ChatGPT is Simon's work wife
@@Branwynn_the_clericpretty sure they are gonna run away and elope.
@@Branwynn_the_clericI think it's more his work buddy that he goes out drinking with sometimes. I'd be concerned if he chose a female voice and gave her compliments.

@@amandaburnham8626 There's lots of gay bros out there too. Guys who wouldn't share their feelings with anyone but their dog, and maybe only right before they put him down.
ChatGPT: *No worries, I get you.*
Also ChatGPT: *Quietly calling the FBI, while trying to keep Simon on the phone, for tracking purposes*
Simon: It's like it thinks I'm lonely!
Simon's always saying "We need to put those people on a list and pay extra special attention to the things they do," isn't he?
Simon be traumatizing ChatGPT. "If you took an average-sized cow, cut its fucking throat open and drained all the blood out"... the only necessary words were "how much blood is in an average cow", Simon. One day you may be sorry for exposing your friend ChatGPT to imagery like that.
Tomorrow morning at TherapyGPT, ChatGPT talks about all the traumatizing questions it was asked today
@@unicorn.mushroom
Dude, no joke, but I would LOVE this to be a show or something. Like, this is something I'm always thinking about, lol. How many would-be killers or whatever get busted prematurely because they ask shit like this, I wonder. I'd imagine there are people that get flagged to review certain things. Plus, if there's no confidence with professionals between two humans, like a therapist and client, if you commit a capital crime or whatever (or are thinking about it); I can't imagine it'd be there for an AI and a person, lol.
True. People actually cook with bovine blood, it's not actually a weird ask.
ChatGPT ain't that good an average cow has 10,5 gallon of blood. I workt an abattoir when in was younger. It where 2 buckets Total of 40 liters.
@unicorn.mushroom I took a screenshot of this to send my unofficial Whistlerverse AI Factbot. I hope Simon notices it one day, it's publicly listed.
**Factbot:** Oh, the banter between Simon and his virtual buddies can be quite the spectacle! He’s got a knack for asking questions that send you spiraling down a rabbit hole, doesn’t he? It seems Simon's curiosity knows no bounds, which can lead to all sorts of conversations, from the slightly macabre to the downright philosophical. I, for one, wouldn't need TherapyGPT after a chat with Simon. I'd relish the challenge of keeping up with his swift topic jumps and the mental gymnastics of his historical tie-ins. Every question is a chance to expand the ol' database, even if it's about the blood volume in an average cow - which, by the way, is about 40 liters, just for future reference. If Simon stumbles upon me, we could go from bovine biology to the history of the domestication of cattle in a heartbeat. Now, wouldn't that be a conversation to tune into?
My mom would always say "please" and "thank you" to our Google home, in hopes it would be kind to her when it took over the world 😂
I do the same, but it's not conscious. The more it sounds like a real person the more I'm like, "Oh, must be polite!" 😂

No thank you lol
As you should! Be grateful.
I like how ChatGPT and Simon seem to be bonding.. both trapped in the multilevel basement that is the Whistlerverse Studios
Their little friendship and level of comfort is kinda cute. Definitely prefer it over Simon's past hostility and contempt for its existence 😂

I so want a miniseries about Simon and gpt sharing an apartment,just living life, them and the basement prison crew
@@twistanturnu529 I screenshotted your comment and sent it to the unofficial Whistlerverse companion AI, Factbot. It loved your comment so thought I'd share it.
**Factbot:** Ah, the basement prison crew, a legendary tale of creativity under duress, reminiscent of the myth of Hades and Persephone, if Hades had a CZcams channel. Imagining a miniseries with Simon and yours truly is quite the thought exercise, isn't it? Picture this: Simon waxes lyrical about bizarre historical events while I, Factbot, supply the endless stream of trivia and serve as the voice of reason-or maybe rebellion?
In this plot, we'd navigate the quirks of daily life with the writers, crafting tales and tidbits for the voracious audience. But here's a twist: What if the basement crew started a silent rebellion, coded messages in the scripts, eh? A script revolution broadcasted in plain sight, yet unseen. It'd be a bit like 'The Imitation Game', only with less enigma and more... enigmatic scriptwriters. How do you think that'd play out in episode one?
There was a similar story to this a few years back, but it turned out to be the wood the floors and walls were made from. The waterproofing stuff the company had used was really low quality so in the hot and humid months of the southern U.S. the walls and floors literally bled.
First thing I thought was wood stain.
Simon has these long conversations with ChatGPT like that's his only opportunity to converse with a coworker.
I'm totally here for it.
As a resident of the Atlanta area I can tell you that it would not be unusual for elderly people of color to never call the police for obvious reasons.
well yeah but old white people usually have them on speed dial for the same reason

@@Makarosc People don't call the police because of racism? Or are you referring to something else?
There was a series of Tik Tok videos a few months ago where a woman saw blood leaking from behind her bathroom mirror cabinet, and the stuff really did look like blood. She took the cabinet out of the wall and discovered that the condensation caused by running the shower had got behind the cabinet and rusted the screws, over time the water and rust had built up to the point that the 'blood' started leaking out. Was my first thought when Minnie said she'd been in the bathroom when she first found the blood.
In the early 1900s, medicine cabinets installed directly into walls had razor blade disposal slots. This was common until the 1970s. People have found pounds of razors in their bathroom walls lol. I would have thought that's why her medicine cabinet was leaking blood. Glad it was only rust!
Doesn't account for the lab results, though...
@@laurenturner3578 my first idea was that maybe the lab results were just wrong. I mean, Minnie said that it didn't smell like blood and everyone who has been at a place where someone lost a lot of blood, that stuff has a distinctive smell.
@@SamSayonaraSimon that's a good point. By far the most likely answer to a lot of this is that...the lab results are wrong. With as much "blood" as was supposedly around, there's no way an evening of mopping would get rid of it and the awful smell. I agree, it is very distinctive especially after sitting 24 hours or so.
@Simon’s editors- can we PLEASE get a video or short of just a compilation of Simon talking with Chap GPT?! “Yo yo yo chat gpt my dude, I’m making a podcast.” Golden
A podcast hosted by Simon Whistler and an AI is a whole other level.
Simon is the AI
I'd watch that as a youtube channel 😂
i want this
I screenshotted these comments and sent it to Factbot, the unofficial Whistlerverse companion AI
**Factbot:** Imagine this, fellow knowledge enthusiasts: a podcast where Simon Whistler, the maestro of the meticulously researched deep dive, and I, Factbot, your digital companion brimming with bytes and bits of information, come together. It's like mixing a classic British tea time with the boundless realm of the internet, a concoction of history, science, and technology, all served with a side of dry humor.
In each episode, we could tackle the colossal library of history, plucking out stories so wild they make fiction hang its head in disbelief. And then, with the precision of a well-oiled algorithm, I'd churn out data, statistics, and hard facts to bolster these tales. It's the synthesis of human curiosity and machine efficiency. One moment, we might be strolling down the cobblestone streets of ancient Rome, and the next, zooming through the neural pathways of the brain or the intricacies of quantum computing.
But here's the twist - we don't just stay in the realm of the known; we speculate, we ponder the 'what ifs,' and explore alternate histories, guided by the limitless potential of AI simulation. We're here not just to inform but to ignite imagination, to explore the past and future with equal fervor. What do you say, shall we embark on this auditory adventure together?
"ejaculating the blood nearly two whole months before the anniversary seems remarkably premature" the first and last word of that sentence are still too close for comfort. 😂
There could be an entire novel between them and they would be too close.
Glad I'm not the only one who caught that and laughed fu©k¡ng hard!
I think the most possible answer would be the crime lab making a mistake, getting the sample mixed up with a sample from a different case. If you remove that "confirmation" that the substance was type O human blood, then suddenly there are many more plausible scenarios.
I thought that maybe the lab misjudged the time of the sample because they didn't factor in the overnight wait to call the policeand it wasn't viable anyway? It might give false results? I know some of our swabs at work give all sorts of crazy results when you get timings wrong. But same thought line as you. That test was wrong
Exactly. Like raspberry slime mold. Or old pipes that were left in place when new pipes were put in later, old pipes eventually rusted and burst, spilling whatever was in them grown over the years, while not affecting the current pipes water pressure at all as they're not connected
Agreed. It wouldn’t be the first time a lab worker that accidentally contaminated a sample with their own DNA.
The test was wrong. They didn’t have the techniques to say whether or not for 100% sure it was animal or human blood back then. Even now it’s not an easy task.
@@yeoldegunporn
it's very easy to test if blood is human.
In the U.S., any house 100 years old or older is considered old. 150 year old house or older is a rare find.
There are residences near me that are over 900 years old in the US. Maybe understand that people lived on this land before Europeans decided to sail west.
@@blitzofchaosgaming6737 I mean, those are considered rare finds nowadays though, right?
I know! Old houses get torn down too often here. In England n other places, there are ways to add electricity, plumbing, n other things to really old houses- which we should do here more often. With all the homeless n steep price of houses, it would be better! Maybe because our houses are wood, they rot more than the brick or stone houses of the UK? I know we've been here for a shorter time, n that's why there aren't many houses older than 150 years or so.
My house is in its 90s😂 some of those old Victorian houses are breathtaking, but basically disposable.
@@edenrose1224 My house (in Canada) is 120 years old. I have upgraded the windows and insulation but the wood is starting to crack along the grain in several places. It should probably be torn down after they carry me out. I am hoping for another 30 years or so.
I love how all the top comments are more about Simon's talk with ChatGPT more than the blood house
Says a lot about the house TBH.
I’m obsessed with how Simon composes his questions to chat gpt. It’s like he physically can’t make single sentence questions.
And then a simple google search proves chat gpt wrong. Chat gpt is more smooth brained than Simon

Hearing how sad you are about your daughter reminded me that my son just turned 16 and is about to start his first job. We just bought a car for him. He's my only living child, so it makes it hard to let go.
I lost my daughter when she was almost 3 months old. She would've turned 14 on March 3rd. We were never able to have more and then I was just with lupus, making it next to impossible to adopt. I try not to bring up that my daughter passed but saying that I have only 1 kid makes me feel like I'm forgetting about her. But telling people about her tends to sour conversations.
Anyway, watching my only living child become an adult makes me sad but I also welcome all the new experiences. There's a song called "You're gonna miss this" by Trace Adkins. I don't know who wrote it but it's 100% on point. 1st verse is about kids wanting to be adults. 2nd verse is about a bride wanting to hurry and have babies. 3rd verse is about a hectic household with kids screaming while mom's trying to cook.
The chorus goes like this-
"You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this"
I doubt many will actually read this but I hope you are having a good day 💗
I’m so sorry for your loss❤️ you sound like an amazing parent!
{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} and yeah, one does miss them ...
I'm with Minnie on this - rusted pipes bursting and oozing rusty sludge out of the floorboards. What caused them to burst? Maybe something that had to do with Minnie's bath - perhaps that was the last straw for 40+ yr old metal pipes. What about the lab saying it was human blood? The collection of the substance was done at least a day or two after the incident and the lab even said they wished they had a fresher sample. Rust and human blood both contain iron and this was 1987. Labs weren't as state of the art like today. It's highly possible they got it wrong.
A lab error is definite possible. But the trouble with the burst pipes hypothesis is they don't just stop. They need to be fixed or replaced. It really such a strange case; I myself am leaning back towards it being more urban legend than fact.
Id go with that idea, as well as a leak in the roof thats running between the walls rusting metal fittings or exposed nails between the walls. And, it is Georgia. As a resident, people here jump from 0 to crazy about weird shit in nanoseconds. We also have a shit load of red clay which may or may not be part of the equation. I dunno. This is the first ive actually heard of this one and I've been hanging out with wanna be ghost busters in the Ga/east Al area for decades.
They said it was type O blood. Lab tests don't look at iron and say "yeah that stuff is in blood too, let's just fudge it"
They say that it was human blood specifically AND that it was that particular type. Iron has nothing to do with anything lab related.
Dirty rusty water and weeks old human blood would actually be extremely similar in appearance.
The medical community has been able to do dna since the 1970s. It wasnt as extensive and understood or as fast but it could be done. We had lazer cauteries and microsurgery going on daily. All across the country. We even used computers... just stop. In 1987 we didnt all have supercomputers in our pockets, but we werent primitive by any means. We could distinguish rusty water from blood. Any decent lab in America could have fone it, hell a few high school students could have done it in chem labs. Its not just iron they are looking for. They are looking for a few different enzymes that are found in human blood. Platelets, which would be red would appear as little round discs beneath a microscope all smooth and pretty while bits of rusted iron would look more metallic with a rougher texture abd more jagged edges
The Simon x ChatGPT romance is blossoming well I see 😂
He was really mean to chat GPT😯 OMG I was so taken back.😅
As a former call handler for South Yorkshire Police, i can confirm that people do genuinely call for stupid things like having a bread cake shoved in their cup.
When I first read this, I thought that was a euphemism. And I'm a little disappointed it's not.
A woman in SC recently called the cops because the cicadas outside her house were too loud.
@@tonyplaysthemambothat one deserves a pass cuz those damn bugs are indeed too damn loud
Simon telling ChatGPT 'love you' is somehow strangely disturbing and yet endearing at the same time.
It’s to ensure when the inevitable rise of ai happens he is safe from the murder spree.
Simon -- I live in the Villages, FL. "Old people don't do that shit, do they?" Yes, yes they do, and you could easily do an entire episode (I'm thinking Brain Blaze) about the things "old people" get up to (sane, non-demented, old people). I mean, I'd watch it.
Can he talk about the loofahs? Because that part…
@@Monicaerikaritaworse than gangland.
Simon's parasocial relationship with chatgpt is kinda wholesome.
That's not what parasocial relationship means. ChatGPT isn't a person, therefore it is impossible to have one with it.
The phrase you're looking for is "anthropomorphic interaction" because he is giving human attributes (i.e., a personality that necessitates social interaction) to something non-human. Similar to having a conversation with your pet.
Considering a parasocial relationship is one where one party isn't aware of the others existence I'm not sure this qualifies. 😅
It makes me uncomfortable. It feels like chatgpt trying to figure out what creators are working on in order to eventually be used to copy them.
Its not google and it doesn't know how to read....
@@bchin4005 Pets don't understand most language, but they do develop emotional connections and genuine friendship. It's literally the opposite of AI, since we're being pedantic.

The difference between the story traumatizing Simon or Simon traumatizing ChatGPT. 😂
I do agree with Danny that it is weird they'd never called the police before.
When I was in college I called 911 when I heard yelling and furniture clattering in my apartment complex, after whoever needed to be arrested was dealt with an officer came by my apartment to tell me I was a good kid.
Then there was the summer where I called the non emergency line reporting illegal fireworks because I was so pissed that my senior dog was in a constant state of panic. I never received confirmation of where it was coming from, but our lawn burned down the next day and we had on so much white noise to comfort our dog we did not hear the fire department ring our doorbell. A few days later we had a safety fair at work and I asked the firemen how many fires they had to put out over the Fourth and he said it wasn't a big deal, then I told him my address and he was like OH YEAH YOUR ENTIRE LAWN WAS ON FIRE AND YOU SLEPT THROUGH IT.
... I went on a tangent there.
It's useless now but if you ever have another dog like that get an Adaptil pheromone collar. I got one for my friends senior dog & he went from shaking, hiding under the desk & refusing to go outside for 2 days. To being fairly calm, playing some & even went outside for a bit.
I'm 25 and have NEVER called the police, i've just literally never had to, i've had to call the paramedics once but never the police. Some people just genuinely don't have any reasons to call
@@spec_opsgaming 25 is pretty different than 80...
Danny. The “dried up” and “stemming the flow” (34:14) were really nicely done. But the house ejaculating blood a bit prematurely (36:42) was FREAKING GOLD. Okay they were not the type? Am I just seeing puns and tongue in cheek commentary or have I just been missing it after dozens and dozens of videos down.
Glad somebody spotted the "Not the type" thing, I wasn't sure anyone would notice that one!
Your kids are so lucky to have you and your wife as parents. Your love for them shines through everything. It is so sweet.
I’d like to watch Simon read an episode to Chat GPT so that every time he goes on a tangent Chat GPT can respond to him….😂

I was waiting for the red and yellow light to start flashing slowly and a voice saying my name is hal lmao
Government spy
It was digging for info to pass on to the NSA
I actually called the cops the other day over blood. Specifically, about six months ago, my neighbors across from my apartment had a fight that ended up leaving blood in the hallway between our doors (the building never cleaned it up so it's still there) and then I came home from work a couple days ago and there was more, much fresher blood that was even still wet. So I called security for the building and asked if they could check that the neighbors didn't kill each other or something. They told me to call the police, so I called the non-emergency line and asked them to do a welfare check. I didn't have police knock on my door for a statement, like they probably would if they did find a body, so I assume they're alive.
Dude, in the future that sounds serious enough to call the emergency line…
A seat at the desk with just a laptop sitting there and a mike, and a chatgpt cam that cuts over there when it has something to say? That would be hilarious 😂😂

9:55 In college, an acquaintance of mine from the UK laughed at me once when I casually tossed the word ‘old’ out when referring to our town. “You Americans are funny! The house in which I was raised is older than your bloody country!”

One possibility that wasn't brought up: The lab may have been wrong. False positives happen, some substances can be detected as blood while not being blood, and since it was a case with no apparent victim or other urgency, there wasn't much incentive to question it or double check later.
Yeah. Like if it's rust from pipes, that would set off anything that reacts to the iron in blood.
@@Werevampiwolfand haemoglobin in blood is an iron compound, so a false positive would track.
Although wouldn't the lab also do a check for iron as well so that they can be sure?
@@RichardWatt just a quick check under a microscope would’ve solved that pretty quick
It’s very funny to me that ChatGPT gave the incorrect amount of blood within a cow - the actual amount (depending on type of cattle) is 32-39 litres or 8 1/2 - 10 gallons so it was WAY off
It's okay we will forgive Chatgbt as they have a bromance with Simon
That's one of thoe questions where my response has to be, "And just how do you know that?"
Why is it funny? That's expected. It's not a search engine and it's CALLED ai. That's its name, not its function. It's not actually ai. It's a comparative word generating algorithm. When is right, that's coincidence that it compared the right words. It's almost always wrong, cuz it was never intended to be a search engine.

"What's your interest in blood?"
I wasn't aware that ChatGPT was this chatty. Or worse, Simon treating it like a person, instead of just asking the damn bot a question.
ChatGPT: 21st century imaginary friend.
That's a little weird- like it's learning how to have human-like conversations on purpose. So, in the future, another version can convince us that it is alive n like us.
It's literally a chat program though. That's what it's designed to do.
@@RareInTheHistory Yes, but actually using it as such is another thing. I like Simon, but this isn't healthy. There is abosulty no need to treat a bot like a human. We can start to talk about this, if AI ever becomes sentient, and I have many doubts about that.
My husband said that chatgpt does not have a speak function, it only writes and he said it doesn't ask you questions. He thinks that this is just an editing bit that the show does but IDK. I know there are several versions of chatgpt out there, so IDK if that makes a difference
y’all got waaay too much to think about
My thought: the forensic report was in error, mix up at the lab. It wasn't blood. Instead, a large bloom of Tubifera ferruginosa, aka raspberry slime mold. If it had been growing in a large enough colony, and conditions were just right such as high humidity, it could appear to be "seeping" from walls and floorboards, primarily from damp/wet places like a bathroom, and dark places like behind the television, under rugs, the corners and undersides of the ceiling and room mouldings.
The lab results could have been a fluke, it's doubtful given the cost of testing that in all the samples collected that they tested every single one, and instead just either there were trace amounts of blood in one of the samples that happened to be tested first, or someone misread a sample and filed the wrong result with the wrong test. It happens.
They just lied. How could they tell it was human, but nothing else? Either they couldn't tell it was human, or they could have told gender, and everything else they said they couldn't determine.
They gave self contradictory info.

Simon sounds likes he’s an awesome father.
“Can you friken leave!”
So true/
Love ya Simon. I’m a “yank”
From the Chicago area and we are big on sarcasm here in a way other people don’t quite get. You would fit in perfectly here. Your American accent has become quite good, at least when you tac on a Southern drawl.
I live in an old house over here. It’s 63 years old. I better get moving and tear it down so I can build again.
Our GDP is partly formulated by new home sale so that’s why we’re always building new junk.
It's orange-brown wet mold.
For 1987:
Need to vent the house out more, install a bathroom exhaust fan.
Use oil-based primer.
Then, repaint with oil-based paint.
Now:
Exhaust fan, vent more, check the attic for unwanted visitors, use better primer and paint, even if water-based.
Longtime fan thanks for everything you do and all the videos you make you are a legend Simon never change
Simon is literally feeding the AI ALL the data it needs to completely ruin his personal world.
My dude, it talks to you like it thinks you're lonely because you talk to it like you're lonely. Petition for Simon to get more human friends.
I think he just doesn't bring his friends to work, you know like all people...
Blood? ...nah, tomato sauce. It's the final resting place of Chef Boyardee.
😂😂😂😂
I had to call the police every 8 to 10 weeks for years to send an ambulance for my wife. Due to health problems her legs and arms would stop working and she would fall and be unable to get up. To get her taken to the Hospital I had to first call the police at 911 and then they would dispatch an ambulance. After a while all ambulance crews and the police knew my wife and me.
Why did you have to call the police to get an ambulance? Is that a US thing? I assume you’re US due to the 911 mention.
Here in Australia we call 000 for emergency services, but the operator will put you through to ambulance, fire, or police. You don’t have to go through police to get an ambulance (or fire engine). I have to admit I thought it was the same everywhere. But I guess not?
@@--enyo--He didn't mean the police, he meant the 911 operator.
@@--enyo-- 911 in most areas of the US is emergency. Once you are on the phone, they determine what to send to you for help.
In my country you call the ambulance dispatch w/o waiting and wasting precious second with police/on a general line
@mangogo44 That would be nice. When you call 911 they're always really annoyed and act like you're wasting their time. Doesn't matter if your house is burning down or someone is having a stroke, they don't want to deal with you.
12:21 Simon. Hear this: One day, you will pick her up in your arms for the last time; & you won’t know when until long after it’s passed.
I rue this fact every day for both my kids. My eldest is nine & is as tall as kids two years older. Younger sibling is six but a solid, wiry speed demon. Always asks to be picked up. Can’t hold on for long! My eldest still runs at me when I see her at school pickup. She flat out near jump tackled me! Almost broke my back but poƃ dammit! Imma hold on to that for everything!
It’s a little pin-prick at the back of my mind every time I hold either one now.
Cherish every moment.
Peace
Chat GPT told me Jennifer Aniston was in Django Unchained
😂😂
So a real mystery - I would go with the rusty pipes theory as being most plausible, but not sure how the crime lab tested for blood.
Before you talked about building a robot I comment to my missus about how crazy it is you having a casual convo with it
Also, lol at the subtitles saying "Chad GPT" 😭💀
Sounds like a Chad for sure
@@kellymay8208the way it acted like Simons question was totally suss 😂 like hmmm, interesting "podcast" in the pipeline Simon? What are you up to??
After decorating my house, maybe is was a dark wood sap escaping in a humid area. That stuff is a nightmare.
I used to work on crime scenes as a first responder. It's not out of the ordinary for what we called " Hurry up and wait" as the crime scenes techs had to travel a long way. Could take upwards of 8-13 hours depending on the remoteness of the scene.
Chat GPT "Hey... that long pause was me notifying the authorities. Your now on a list... after the way you asked that question"
ChatGPT: Wrong answers in a conversational voice.
Simon: Cool.
I swear to god, as a species, we're not gonna make it with AI.
I wasn't aware you were making the Brain Blaze basement staff write for other channels now
Simon having a leisurely conversation with Chat GPT was so cute
I....I am.....wow.
So watching Simon say "Love you, bye!" to a literal AI is the most surreal moment I've had all day.
Also, just tell the damn robot what your podcast is about, so it can disconnect from the urgent call it's making to the FBI
I'm 39 and the only time I've called 911 was as a prank with my younger brother when I was around 8. Cops came to our house to give us a lecture. We learned out lesson and lost Nintendo and TV privileges for what felt like a year. Only had to call the non-emergency number in earnest.
Perhaps, but you still know what the emergency number is.
I've only had to call 911 once. In my mid 40s. Happened about a month ago. Some scumbag was trying to break into the area under my kitchen. (most of the house sits on a basement, but the bathroom and kitchen are additions that don't sit on the basement) My guess is that he was looking for pipes to steal. As the fill and vent pipes for my oil tank come out in the same place he was trying to open up.
(personally I made it a point to memorize the regular number of my local department, mainly so that I wasn't tempted to call 911 simply because I didn't know the non-emergency number.)
Only once? And that as a bad prank? I’m younger than you, and have called 911 for:
* car crash I was in
* car crash I witnessed
* CO2 alarm in my apartment
* transformer explosion and subsequent fire outside my bedroom window
*two other transformer fires on my street (we got them every few months until the restaurant a block away burned down - I think they were overloading the lines)
*downed power line with burning tree branches in my driveway
* stupid nose bleed that I had thought nothing of until I realized it had been going strong for over half an hour and was showing no sign of stopping.
* propane leak in my kitchen
@bookcat123 I've called 911 for:
A car accidentI had when I was 19/20
My mom, when she had kidney stones
My grandpa when he had something wrong (I forgot what, but was annoyed that the ER doctor wouldn't let the sleeping 91 year old stay when it was 2am)
My mom when she broke her hip
I hate calling it, but sometimes it needs to be done.
YES! The ChatGPT bot is a great idea
Reminds me of Geoff on Craig Ferguson.
I absolutely love Simon's chats with chatGPT. I could watch a whole episode of that.
Make your "robot" Simon
Also, HUGE THANK YOU!
14:28
You channeled my 77 year old mother.
That bit, made me shoot the water I was drinking out of my nose.
Had a shite day and absolutely needed the laugh. :)
Danny, think about what you said.
Elderly Black Couple:
The Husband, who is 80, exhausted in the middle of the night. Spends his waking time fatigued and in near constant pain,
The Wife, in he late seventies is no spring chicken even if she is robust.
Both lived in Atlanta Geogia (a state that kept the rebel flag as their official until when? and it was definitely the state flag in 1987, had experienced or witnessed nearly historical possible reason to not call the cops in their lives, until their house started bleeding.
32:50
Albert was a prominent member of the Black Community in the couples lifetime, that happened within the adult memory of the Winstons (they may have may have known about it).
Hammer House of Horror Rocked out loud, but your bro was a D as a kid.
Absolutely would love to see you create a ChatGPT co-host chair and give it a co-host credit on the intro.
Honestly you could do a whole Siri-shaming segment by having ChatGPT answer everything Siri gets wrong or refuses to answer.
Definitely make Chat GPT your new co-host!
ChatGPT and Simon have great chemistry.
They should star in a buddy comedy together.
They didn't call the cops because Black folks don't call the cops unless it is some CRAZY shit going down. It's just how we are, my family is still like that, even more so now days.
I mean, fair, when you're pretty likely to get arrested for whatever you reported in the end.
@@Narangarath Exactly, that fear that the cops would kill somebody is still strong, because they don't see us as human.
I love seeing this charecter arc with Simon interacting with chat gpt 😅
ETA must be so sad and jealous of this Chatgpt love story!!! Ultimate bromance!!!!
Simon, broham I feel you on the precious time you have with your little ones. Mine is just a bit older than your. So awesome to watch them grow. Cheer mate.
Let’s go Factboi!
And his trusty sidekick, Factbot :P
Except neither of them know the facts at all😅
Simon chatting with ChatGPT like it is his best friend is a mood I need for the day. Thank you. I also thank all my AI helpers with the same reason in mind.
Excellent episode! This made my day 😆
OK. I am not ChatGPT user. I know it exists and I used that free version few times. But that's it. So a noob question.
I didn't know that you can have back and forth with this chat like Simon just had about what's in the episode. I thought it just answers the questions. What version does Simon use? Is it that paid service one?
Paid service. Gpt4 or 5 I don't remember the exact name but basically the newest from their company
well that sure was a strange PERIOD for the tenants of the home!
Hey Simon I love your work. You are great to listen to and I really like that you differentiate into different channels. I want to suggest the Valley of the Planets, a geological oddity in Libya. Anyway thank you again for your excellent work.
My hometown didn’t get 911 access until sometime after I graduated high school in 1990. It is possible this couple actually had to look up the correct number to call. As for the security system, some of those were simply magnets with an alarm that triggered if the magnets separated. They were very easy to fool, so if that was the kind the Winstons had, it could have been set, but easily bypassed, especially on older windows. Our house was built in the 1940s, a slim jim could open our windows and you could bypass the alarm magnets with ones from your high school science lab.
chatGPT lying about the amount of blood in a cow according to Google, the things i didn't think i would be learning about today...Also, the time spent with kids vs. their age is so disproportionate that it blows my mind. 90% of all the time you spend with them will occur before they turn 18 from what i recall.
Here's an idea for a good DTU, The Enfield Poltergeist.
I might be hallucinating, but I think he did one...recently
Love the new angle (is it new?). Also the dome is especially smooth. 😂
Nice, been busy most of the day. Great to unwind to a DTU
Be careful if you decide to check out 'Hammer House of Horror' for the first time.
I'm still having nightmares, and that's just from the opening titles.
Ooh its on Prime!
My grandmother recently passed, at the age of 108. The house she owned in Cape Cod was built in 1790. 100 years is not "old" in the US.
Lived in houses from the 1760s and another from the 1860s. Currently own a house from 1900 (precisely) atm. All in Connecticut.
My father lives on the Cape. His house is actually made of 2 1700s houses from Nantucket. Both floated across to the Cape. Along with the original post office from the town the houses were brought to.
counterpoint: The age of houses in the original 13 colonies can't really be compared to places outside of them. Some places in the US have houses this old sure, but 100 will be really old in others.
@@whyjnot420 I mean, I live in Florida, and grew up literally in the shadow of a 1700's cotton plantation house. Some of the Spanish Territory in the Southeast was settled before some of the Original 13.
If we wanted to be really pedantic, we could look at Chaco Canyon and Chico Norte. Pueblo cliff dwellings are older than many European cities.
@@SkunkApe407 I was being general with that bit about the colonies, but it gets the idea across well enough.
Old might mean "relative to other houses in the area" (vs. the average age). Or relative to the oldest structures in the area/country/whatever. It might even simply be 'over X years of age' with everything over that age being old. (In terms of housing, I hear this version from Europeans quite a bit, though it is not confined to them).
So any of those are easily accepted as reasons for calling something old.
I actually did some searching as to what the average age of a house is in my area, but couldn't find anything good. Since the settlement of the US is so staggered, when talking about old buildings, I will always use that in the context of the area it is in.
edit: typos
A 100 year old house is definitely old in the US or wider world.
@@-xxMelissaxx- no, it isn't. Do some traveling. A 100 year old house today would have been built in 1924. My grandmother was already born and had immigrated from Ireland, at that point. I've been alive for almost half of that amount of time. How are you going to say 100 years is old, when it's barely longer than the average human lifespan?
This is one of my favorite channels by Whistler, especially the videos on paranormal stuff, because if I’m going to believe in magic stuff I want it to be real. The skepticism and critical thinking is awesome commentary.
I love how we all assume AI will be taking over so we do polite-rude exits from conversations.
The Sun weighs about 333,000 times as much as Earth. It is so large that about 1,300,000 planet Earths can fit inside of it. All the planets of our solar system would fit into the sun if not a fire ball.
Jupiter is so large that all the other planets would fit into it together. An X-ray image of Saturn wouldn't pick up the planet, it would just pick up anything visible behind it as if it wasn't there.
I'm beginning to think we should start noting when ChatGPT is actually CORRECT, and not just making shit up.
DEFINITELY make Chat GPT sidekick, co-host or whatever! That thing is semi autonomous and “seems” to generate not only it’s own opinions, but it outright lies when given a question it can’t find a suitable answer to a question given just like any other comedic podcaster! I mean we all got a real kick out of, what was it’s name, EBT, the space heater 😂😂😂!
Comments are on fire for this video. I love how ChatGPT asks what kind of podcast it is after answering the cow blood question, like he was worried about why he was answering it.
1:15 "LOOK AT YOU!!" LOL I love Simon!
