Transcript
Laura Harvey, head coach of the Seattle Rain Football Club, said this week that she used ChatGPT to help come up with a new defensive strategy that she actually deployed and actually helped the team win their game.
Speaker A:What was the last thing you used ChatGPT for that resulted in a surprising positive outcome?
Speaker A:Oh, wow.
Speaker A:That, that's actually easy ad it's going to be a boarding answer for our listeners.
Speaker A:But.
Speaker A:But hey, that's what niche podcasting is all about, is about random, random facts that might interest people.
Speaker A:So I actually used it for this podcast to understand how this microphone works.
Speaker A:Did you know there's this, like, button on the bottom of our microphones that you can push one way or the other?
Speaker A:And I had no idea what either of those things meant, and so I looked it up and figured out which way I should have it have it set up for.
Speaker A:So, yeah, it helped me with, with my sound production for today's podcast.
Speaker A:Hopefully everyone's enjoying it.
Speaker A:I'm glad that it resulted in positive, a positive impact for this podcast.
Speaker A:Chris.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker A:And Jonathan Bailey of Wicked fame was recently named people's Sexiest Man Alive, a pick I happen to agree with.
Speaker A:Do you, however, agree with this pick?
Speaker A:I do.
Speaker A:I preferred him as Anthony in Bridgerton.
Speaker A:He is a very handsome man.
Speaker A:I. I do like his character better in Bridgerton.
Speaker A:It's a little.
Speaker A:He's a little more, like, adventurous and risque in that show.
Speaker A:So I think that's what they should be using as Sexiest Man Alive.
Speaker A:Not in reference to his role in Wicked personally, but.
Speaker A:But yes.
Speaker A:Good pick.
Speaker A:Good pick.
Speaker A:It's interesting.
Speaker A:I never thought about the promotional timing between Wicked and him being named the Sexiest Man Alive.
Speaker A:I wonder what.
Speaker A:Wonder what happens there.
Speaker A:That's a curious little factor I didn't think about before.
Speaker A:All right, question number three.
Speaker A:John Lewis is opening the John Lewis Lounge exclusive exclusively for my John Lewis Loyalty Scheme members.
Speaker A:Upon arrival, guests will be welcomed with a complimentary coffee or glass of sparkling wine alongside Waitrose chocolates and the option to enjoy hand and arm massages.
Speaker A:Chris, would this be enough to get you into John Lewis for your holiday shopping?
Speaker A:Nope.
Speaker A:Nope.
Speaker A:I'm 100 out on anything with the words hand massages and 100% out.
Speaker A:No hand massages for me.
Speaker A:Oh, I would.
Speaker A:That's like, my favorite thing about the.
Speaker A:The Paris airport.
Speaker A:They have like, the Clarence massage area and, and all that in the airport so that you can get your hand massages and back massages and facials right there.
Speaker A:It's perfect.
Speaker A:I would definitely be doing it.
Speaker A:Better you than me.
Speaker A:Better you than me.
Speaker A:All right, last one.
Speaker A:Carly Rae Jepsen is reportedly pregnant.
Speaker A:What should she call the baby?
Speaker A:I said they should call the baby cmb.
Speaker A:Call me baby in honor of the baby's father, Cole mgn, who, apparently, that goes by those three letters as his last.
Speaker A:You're joking.
Speaker A:No, Cole MGN is what the dad is.
Speaker A:So cmb, Call me baby is what the baby should be named.
Speaker A:That is so fantastic.
Speaker A:That question just wrote itself.
Speaker A:Honestly, what should Carly Rae Jepsen call the baby?
