Boys React: GPT-4, Billion $ Mint Mobile Sale, Original iPhone Sale, Bay Area Storms

alright welcome to our friday episode boys react we got a a guest host filling in nick how are you doing ben thanks for having me i'm doing great it's the nick hub show today yeah yeah exactly thanks for having me on alright let's let's go through some news items do some rapid reactions first of all the big news everyone is talking about on twitter is chat gp four it's the newest version of the ai it's programming simple video games doing pong on its own stuff like that convincing task rabbit workers to complete capture for it so fellas what are your thoughts on the new chat gp have you used it nick i haven't used it i think these people need to go outside and touch some grass you're not a fan no i think it's all a joke dude you are still gonna get left behind i i'm i'm i don't use it but i know that it's gonna change everything da from hubspot created this thing called them chat oh chat spot and basically you could do a bunch of stuff but you can like talk to hubspot and tell it what to do so you could talk to it like a human and like you know hubspot really complex like it does a little bit of everything and you can just use normal words and be like make my website look like this or email these types of people who are on my list and i think that's like a really good example there's this you you know what like the best iteration of ai right now is if you're watch monday night football you know how they put the one line or the the you know what do they call i don't fucking football first first down you know the yellow strip on the thing that's ai or you know how when you back up in your car and you see like a three sixty view of like everything around you that's ai so my theory is if you have to say this is ai and the product is good because of that that's a horrible way to go about it but if it just freaking works all the time that's a great way that you know the product is gonna be so at anytime something says ai or web three and they have and that's how explained i go i'm out but i'm convinced they're gonna figure out another way how to do this did you laugh because i didn't know anything about nfl no i think i think that was a great explanation and i don't wanna like i'll preface this by saying i think these people are brilliant and this will be a tool that makes people more productive absolutely now let me tell you that ninety nine percent of humans and americans and everybody else gives two shits about ai they're worried about enough money coming in their bank account on friday to pay rent on monday and if their house is maintained and if they have food to put in their kids bell it's absurd like literally we have a whole physical world there's grass that needs mode to growth can you believe we plant we plant this shit around our houses that every week we have to go outside and cut it by hand with a lawn mower we gotta go outside and do that gotta wash our houses we gotta clean our floors we gotta install carpet we gotta repair windows we have a physical world that's crumbling around the united states nobody cares about ai dude do you need to get out of georgia man you can't you need to get out of georgia hang out the real people in san francisco and in new york so you actually know how real people live sam you didn't have me here to agree with you alright ben let's do mint okay let's do mint we we talked about a little bit last episode but t mobile is set to acquire ryan reynolds mint mobile he owns twenty to twenty five percent for one point three five billion dollars guys thoughts on this what's twenty five percent of one point three the thirty three hundred million dollars yeah mh holy crap more so and then he how much did he sell what's it what's his jin called or whiskey whatever hell it was avi avi or something he sold that for hundreds of millions of dollars recently so this guy is killing it that's awesome i twenty five percent seems like a lot of equity to give to him right i think it i think it's crazy i mean i think this is exciting to me and it should be exciting to you use sam too because it's an example of somebody with cloud somebody with a personal brand somebody who everybody likes and loves which is the definition of sam they've been able to capitalize that they've been been able to capitalize that to an insane degree and i'm excited about what it means for people with distribution meaning if you have ears and you have eyes and people care what you have to say you can get involved in products and you can grow massive companies sam doing it i'm excited about doing it it's just the beginning of how much more famous is ryan reynolds in both of us a hundred times is the a hundred times more famous of course you think more more more than a hundred times so what's what's one hundred divided what's his exit divided by one hundred and how much money is that is that two it's is that two million phil if it's twenty that that would be a lot cooler but yeah i i i think it's cool i i like and he's very likable he's significantly more likable than both you and i combined i think i more likable than i'm a lot more likable than you and he's a lot a lot a lot more likable than me so i'm a lot more better than i'm in you and he's a lot more better looking than me i think it's awesome i like ryan reynolds so kudos i wanna know i've been asking him to come on this pod for a while i wanna know does he actually do anything you know like what he actually does which is david i'm very curious yeah i'm very what do you think his day is like sam i bet he's going i bet waking up he's taking a twenty minute meeting where somebody tells him yes the whole time that all of his ideas are amazing then they're going back and running the company without him or is he super involved is he getting involved with management is he doing marketing decisions oh i i wanna know how operationally in embedded he is in this company what would you what would your guess be sam how many direct reports does you have at the company well zero i think it has zero i think he probably has a chief a staff who manages this whole life but zero i think that i i don't know much about mint mobile if i had to guess i would say it's mostly a sales company meaning they probably just like layered on top of an existing telecom and then just had a a slightly different pricing structure and then targeted their marketing towards a certain type of person i think mint mobile is more like a a like a i think it's like a working class thing because it's it's like a it's it's all about price so i think it's like a really really low price here's a question for you sam do you think a a serious operator or entrepreneur or executive is in the background overseeing all of our brands holdings or do you know that he is that entrepreneur i think he's the guy man and i think he might be the guy i think he might be a leader in these companies so but here's midst thing i said they're a sales and marketing organization because their commercials are wonderful and i think they're wonderful because he says a lot of funny stuff on the commercials and he just does a really good job of branding the company and i think they knocked it out the park with that where they did a really good job of being irrelevant but still professional and i think that is what he does where he's like this crosses the line here's the line that we can we can tow and how far we can push it and i think that's what he does which i think is easily worth the twenty five percent because if i had to guess it's mostly a sales and marketing company and he crushed it so this is a person that found an influencer with this distribution they knew they could build the company they got him involved and they put together the ultimate system i i love that business model i think it's awesome good job ryan reynolds let's do two more let's do the original iphone yeah let's do we'll do this one quick so a woman in two thousand seven buys an original iphone right when it comes out she keeps it in the box doesn't touch it for fifteen years and is now selling it just sold it at an auction for sixty three thousand dollars what are your thoughts on it awesome you wanna know what i collect this is weird but so my wife sarah worked at facebook now she works at airbnb so like these like pretty like culturally important companies where we look back in a hundred years and maybe it'll be like ford or something or ge and so whenever she gets gifts like from airbnb they branded airbnb i tell her don't open any of them and i collect all of them so i have like an oc list that's unopened i have airbnb swag that's still in the gift box i have facebook a facebook book bag that's unused i collect all of this stuff i love it i love collecting this like iconic company stuff and so what i wanna get is a silicon valley bank shirt i real or a silicon valley bank hoodie or what's the sam bank free f yeah f x well x i wanna get one of those i really wanna i would kill for a for the blood blood thing like i click all that stuff when twitter was auction off a lot of their office equipment i try to buy a bunch of it and i and it i went all above what i was willing to pay but i collect all that stuff now what i really wanna get i wanna get a monitor an old apple a a macintosh monitor that has the apple with the like with the rainbow colors or i wanna get the desktop mac that remember the ones that have pastel colors like the blues and the pink and all that stuff i want one of those just wanna hang it on my shelf i love that stuff this is awesome i'm happy someone did this i fully support collecting and storing totally worthless shit i think that everybody should buy a ton of totally worthless stuff and put it in storage units right now put it all right in a storage unit and you can use a company called bolt storage to do that forever i think you should just keep it for all time but no in reality we bought a i got a funny story we bought a property at auction it had hundred and eighty seven units it was an erie pennsylvania we went and every unit had been abandoned we had to go through and saw off like the locks and open them up and it was dust and there was craziness that's some really cool things we found it of really cool things one one unit had like sixty bags of white powder we immediately called the police we never found out if it was drugs or not another one had a squirrel holding a baseball bat another one had hold on old indian motorcycle oh what type you know what year i got a picture i'll show you the picture when we get off this call what did you sell it for at auction i'd have no idea like we can't we technically couldn't touch anything in the units we had to take pictures of them and have an online auction and the people bid on them and then they came and cleared out the units do you know how old it looked did it looked like there's some thirties no no not that's it was it was probably like not that old of a pretty dump one if i had to guess oh dude some of those old idea motorcycles you can get fifty sixty seventy thousand dollars well that's awesome that's badass that that's a lot fun actually to go and like see all that crap but anyway on board with this lady who bought ben do we know just some some nerd some fan i don't think we know i don't think we know dude i remember when that came out in two thousand and seven i was a sophomore in high school and someone was watching youtube on their phone and we were all like standing around it and that was like it was like here in the beatles for the first time you know it was like it's pretty amazing it it was it was mind blowing seeing that so that's awesome alright let's do one more alright last one the reason that sean has not hit with us here today a massive wind in rain storm has left more than two hundred thousand people in the san francisco bay area without power fellas any thoughts and prayers for a comrades for the working class of the bay area any any thoughts for those people did that really happen i didn't know why he he didn't have power i mean that stinks i think every responsible this is gonna sound very radical i think every responsible man should have provisions to keep their family alive for two weeks with no power and no internet what do you have now i'm not i'm not a doom day person who thinks they need to survive a zombie apocalypse and build a bunker to live for six months but i think if you have a generator some fuel some ready to eat packages and a way that you get clean water and like tv dinners yep of course a way to defend your house if people come for that stuff you're gonna be better off and every man should have that set up in my opinion it's like a very small investment and it goes a very long way if shit ever did hit the fan imagine being a well have scam sam could you keep your family alive for two weeks if everything if your phone internet cut off power cut off everything gone what would you you're to the grocery store no dude i i i am a mini i'm not quite a prep but no i'm prepared we have yeah i have that because when the austin snowstorm happened and then covid happened and then when a lot of the rights were happening i i definitely got fearful that's of the reasons why i bought my ranch is we have stuff up there where we can bug out to so i'm boy with that i don't think i'm ever gonna have to use it but i agree it's a very small price to pay for insurance what do you do it with the gas do you replace it every six months no you put it in there's these things the military uses and you put stable in there and you can keep the gas safe for five to ten years you can order them right on amazon for ninety bucks you fill it up with five gallons of gas that's all you need then you gotta a get generator you keep your food cold and you know your your kids kids warm if it gets really cold what's of a food you have do you order some i think peak peak is the brand p a k it's like a little freeze dried food in the last twenty years and you keep it in the little package in in in january when whenever covid happened i had this chinese intern working for me he had family in china and he was a like a foreign exchange student and he was awesome and he was you know on what's the app that they use wechat and he was like sam this covid thing this is like a huge deal this is it's gonna come to america and i was like hung this is america dude we don't like wear masks we don't have these types of things that asia has like this this doesn't happen here well you're you're crazy the next month he goes dude it's coming it's gonna be here and then march happens and we see in the news the first case in seattle and then eventually bay area and i was like hung you're right i'm wrong i am so sorry and i went immediately to the grocery store it bought as much crap as we could and like i had like storage we i remember like i i i was like you're right now i understand why why people are afraid of this stuff and why i like the peppers exist you're totally right and ever since then my opinion has has changed on a lot of this stuff so maybe it's like a man thing when you get a little bit older is they're having a family i'm not sure what it is but covid definitely opened my eyes to like you know it's nice to prepare for this the worst case scenario i know a lot of guys who go way overboard and make like they have two years worth of stuff i'm not slippery slope that's the thing i'm prepping is it's a very slippery slope and you gotta have a discipline hey i don't need more than two weeks worth of crap to keep my family alive but you wanna know the other issue it's really really fun all the gadgets like the different flashlight the different generators like i just love gadgets so i just buy this stuff all the time i just bought sarah this like thing that will break your glass if it go if your car goes under water and you're like when am i ever gonna use this i'm probably never but like it's sick it there's only like twelve bucks at amazon like i love all that crap i've been doing it if you're listening like it's the best way to save a life the best way to save life is put a tour kit in your glove box everybody should have a tour kit because a moto one yep a a motor or a cyclist gets hit on the road ninety five percent of time you could save their life by being able to stop the bleeding but a lot of people can't so put a turn in your car dude do you saw the other day how i held that t shirt up to that guy's head like i saw a guy i got i saw a guy fall and i gave him my shirt and we stopped the bleeding yesterday at the meet up a guy was like worked in the military he goes hey i got this for you and he gave me a tour kit and so it goes next time this happens here's how you use it and i was like alright so i have a tour in my car now so i'm board that's the news is that it ben that's it thanks guys thanks for having the boys
