  Welcome back to Artist on Artist on Artist on Artist. This week on the show, it's a movie, it's a Waymo, it's a both. We're talking to the creators of Waymo the Way Movie.

• 2:48Speaker 02

  Movies have had a long storied tradition. And now a car is gonna be one. A car that drives itself. That's right. We sit down to the creative team that developed the Waymo movie.

• 3:01Speaker 05

  Movies used to be written by writers. And then it became, what if we didn't have that? And what if the car that drove the writer here didn't really have one in it either? This is the movie that we are so excited to talk about today.

• 3:21Speaker 05

  So sit back.

  So literally you?

  CPAP Cassie.

• 5:41Speaker 05

  CPAP Cassie. Nap Cassie.

• 5:43Speaker 02

  Like, guys, don't you wish like this could be driven by a driverless car right now? Like this conversation, like this podcast, like.

• 5:51Speaker 07

  What are we, are we talking about?

• 5:52Speaker 02

  We're in the driver's seat right now.

• 5:54Speaker 07

  Are we talking about the expansion, the boat?

• 5:56Speaker 05

  No, we're talking about, no, not boat. We're not doing boat.

• 5:58Speaker 07

  Oh, are we talking about the youth directive?

• 6:00Speaker 02

  No.

• 6:01Speaker 07

  Are we talking about the new interface that you can turn your car into a Waymo?

• 6:05Speaker 02

  Close.

• 6:06Speaker 05

  We're talking the creative initiative.

• 6:09Speaker 07

  Oh, oh, the, the, the, the meta glasses?

• 6:13Speaker 02

  No, no. 1B2C.

• 6:16Speaker 07

  1B2C.

• 6:17Speaker 05

  Under comic book is?

• 6:20Speaker 07

  Wait, are we doing a magazine?

• 6:22Speaker 02

  No.

• 6:23Speaker 05

  Not yet, not yet.

• 6:24Speaker 02

  Lyle, you are so out of pocket.

• 6:25Speaker 07

  I'm out of pocket. You can't stop me.

• 6:28Speaker 05

  Lyle, you're out of pocket. Look, go into your G suite, look at the first task on there. Highest priority.

• 6:37Speaker 02

  That's your screen to unlock it?

• 6:38Speaker 07

  My, my phone's memorized my face as this.

• 6:44Speaker 07

  Um, oh, the movie.

• 6:46Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 6:48Speaker 05

  The movie. The movie. It's set on slop.

• 6:51Speaker 07

  I can't wait to make a movie.

• 6:53Speaker 05

  Guys, we are making a Waymo movie.

• 6:55Speaker 02

  We are so excited.

• 6:57Speaker 05

  It is so exciting. Cat is out of the Waymo and out of the driver's seat as well because cats didn't drive and they certainly aren't now.

• 7:04Speaker 07

  And they don't have to drive with Waymos.

• 7:06Speaker 02

  Legally, we are not saying you can let your cat drive your car.

• 7:09Speaker 05

  No.

• 7:10Speaker 07

  You know what? If I'm monitoring the Waymos, I'll let a cat in. If I just see a cat, I'll say, let's see where this goes.

• 7:15Speaker 05

  Lyle, you are out of pocket.

• 7:16Speaker 07

  I'm out of pocket.

• 7:17Speaker 05

  You are out of pocket.

• 7:19Speaker 07

  I'm literally rabid and contagious. You literally can't contain me.

• 7:22Speaker 02

  You're Krabby Cray right now. Anyway, so we made a movie. Well, we are working on a movie and it's almost done. You're Krabby Cray right now.

• 7:32Speaker 05

  You're going rabies.

• 7:34Speaker 02

  You're going rabie mode.

• 7:35Speaker 05

  You are going rabie mode.

• 7:37Speaker 02

  Don't let Lyle go rabie mode.

• 7:38Speaker 05

  Frothing at the mouth out that pocket.

• 7:40Speaker 07

  Honey, there ain't no cure for what I got.

• 7:42Speaker 05

  You're acting so Cassie right now.

• 7:44Speaker 07

  There ain't no cure for what I got.

• 7:46Speaker 02

  In a genuine moment, do you think this is listenable at all?

• 7:49Speaker 07

  Yes. You also hear a Waymo.

• 7:53Speaker 02

  If you ride a Waymo, you'll love this podcast.

• 7:55Speaker 07

  Listen, here's the disclaimer. If you're having trouble listening to this, print it out. Read it instead. Move on.

• 8:02Speaker 02

  Get AI to read it.

• 8:02Speaker 05

  Get AI to transcribe this, read the transcript. Bro, bro, bro, bro, in all seriousness, this podcast and the listeners at home might not be used to our kind of vibe. I know they've done a little bit of tech stuff. But we are, we are tech, right? So like we.

• 8:20Speaker 02

  Tech with a capital T.

• 8:22Speaker 05

  Yeah. But we happen to be like the creatives in the tech business. Like I'd say like, we're the ones at lunch talking about our favorite movies and stuff. Like we are the perfect people for Waymo to make a movie.

• 8:36Speaker 02

  Yeah, we have a slush fund of like 1.2.5 billion dollars.

• 8:43Speaker 05

  But I'd say like for more normal people, they're probably not used to filmmakers like us who are tech-based.

• 8:48Speaker 02

  Yeah, tech-based filmmaking is a new, state-of-the-art entrepreneurship, venture capitalist type of approach to media.

• 8:54Speaker 05

  TM.

• 8:54Speaker 02

  We attack it the way you would attack the stock market. We come in, we disrupt with our movie ideas, and we push it forward to make sure you can see the movie no matter what.

• 9:03Speaker 05

  Yeah, but all that while also being obsessed with 500 Days of Summer.

• 9:08Speaker 02

  Like we love.

• 9:09Speaker 05

  No, like, and that's what got us into all of this. The only difference between us and like your typical film kid is like, we watched 500 Days of Summer with kind of a different eye, right? Because we're looking at 500 Days of Summer and going, what kind of screen is this on? How can we make the screen smaller than bigger than in your own mind than decide things for the how the world works?

• 9:29Speaker 07

  Exactly. And I'm also looking at 500 Days of Summer and saying, I could have done this a lot faster. I could have made this movie a minute and it would have been just as effective.

• 9:38Speaker 05

  It would have been just as good. I also think it would have been a perfect vertical. I think it was before verticals were out.

• 9:43Speaker 02

  A five-part vertical where you hide the fourth part?

• 9:45Speaker 07

  I like, my heart breaks for every filmmaker that didn't get to shoot in verticals. Like, it makes me so sad that this medium is new.

• 9:56Speaker 05

  It's so sad.

• 9:57Speaker 07

  Spielberg never got, we never got to see a Spielberg vertical.

• 10:01Speaker 05

  Honestly, I feel that way about our passengers. I feel that way about old people trying to find their Uber drivers, having old stupid Uber drivers take care of these old people who are trying to get to the market. Meanwhile, they could just be in a Waymo. I feel that way about kids on buses.

• 10:17Speaker 07

  Yes.

• 10:17Speaker 05

  Yeah. They could be in a Waymo.

• 10:19Speaker 02

  They could be in the, like, the driver's seat in a Waymo.

• 10:21Speaker 05

  So we're doing that to Hollywood. Like, we're making Hollywood a better passenger experience.

• 10:25Speaker 07

  Yes.

• 10:25Speaker 05

  Yeah, because there's so many inefficiencies going on, like, and there's so many, even in like character development and all that, like. There are so many scenes where characters are just talking to each other and not delivering the plot points that are like they're talking around the thing instead of just saying what is happening.

• 10:44Speaker 07

  Right. Tell me the plot. Tell it to me.

• 10:47Speaker 05

  Summarize the plot for me, then end the movie.

• 10:50Speaker 07

  I am on my phone. Tell me the plot.

• 10:53Speaker 02

  Yes, like literally like that was my biggest gripe with 500 days of summer is like they kept on fighting for half that movie and I could not figure out why they were fighting.

• 11:02Speaker 05

  Break up. Just summarize it.

• 11:03Speaker 02

  Dating. Yeah.

• 11:04Speaker 05

  They fight. That's end of sentence. That took me two seconds to say. I think it's like, it's also taking the emotion out of it. And I think like, there's a lot of power in doing that. I think that's why some of our companies, that's why a lot of people are like surprised at how fast tech moves. And I think it's because tech isn't crying or scared or nervous.

• 11:22Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 11:23Speaker 05

  No, no, because you know what is drilled out of you when you're working these 19 hour days in Silicon Valley? What? Fucking being a crybaby.

• 11:31Speaker 02

  Yeah. Cassie, hold the phone, Cass.

• 11:34Speaker 07

  Literally, you cannot cry. You'll fry the server.

• 11:37Speaker 05

  Dude, capital D.

• 11:39Speaker 02

  Yeah, dude.

• 11:40Speaker 05

  I'm like a dude capital D. It would be fucking massive.

• 11:43Speaker 02

  It would be huge, Cassie.

• 11:44Speaker 07

  It would be nine inches wide.

• 11:46Speaker 05

  King Kong like swiping over buildings. Like I would try and go to the bathroom and like literally wipe out half of New York City.

• 11:53Speaker 07

  It'd be that type that's so big, it's not even nice.

• 11:56Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 11:56Speaker 05

  Yeah, I'd be like, oh, I actually am a little afraid of this. I maybe will pass.

• 12:00Speaker 02

  It would be a burden for you. Like you would kind of live in burden, never feel full satisfaction.

• 12:05Speaker 05

  People who's like, actually my dick is too big. Like one of the few people who can actually say that. Yeah. You'd say it like on the third or fourth date and you'd be like, here's like a thing about me.

• 12:12Speaker 02

  It's all right. It's all right.

• 12:14Speaker 05

  Cassie, it's okay. It's okay.

• 12:15Speaker 02

  It's hard to imagine.

• 12:16Speaker 05

  No, it's crazy. It's crazy. It's hard to imagine like a problem like that. Motherfucker dude, you're out in these streets. You were the one that was like, listen, put us in, put us in. Yeah, yeah, put us in. And this is why we were like, because I would say we're the class clowns of Silicon Valley, right?

• 12:30Speaker 02

  Oh my gosh. Capital C, capital C.

• 12:33Speaker 05

  Capital C, capital C creative is I think the third C in class clown.

• 12:36Speaker 07

  Do you guys remember?

• 12:37Speaker 05

  Also, class clown is criteria in closet class.

• 12:39Speaker 07

  Wait, I'm just remembering one of the funniest things we ever did.

• 12:43Speaker 02

  That's five Cs.

• 12:44Speaker 05

  It's five Cs.

• 12:45Speaker 07

  Do you remember when we wore green wigs to that Raytheon gala?

• 12:50Speaker 02

  Dude.

• 12:50Speaker 05

  Stop, stop.

• 12:52Speaker 02

  Lyle.

• 12:53Speaker 05

  Stop, stop, stop.

• 12:54Speaker 02

  We wouldn't talk about that because it was too bad.

• 12:56Speaker 05

  That's out of pocket.

• 12:56Speaker 07

  That was so fun.

• 12:58Speaker 05

  The amount of motherfucking Adderall I found at the Raytheon event.

• 13:04Speaker 07

  They were giving it out. The bathroom attendant was giving out like men.

• 13:08Speaker 05

  Oh my God. Well, I think, you know what I heard about that is that they were testing a new kind of Adderall, that the military was testing a new kind of Adderall.

• 13:15Speaker 07

  Thank God, thank God.

• 13:17Speaker 02

  And thank God. I've got like rice with Adderall.

• 13:22Speaker 02

  Thank God they're trying to perfect that.

• 13:23Speaker 05

  There was that Adderall shortage, like, bro, you guys were trying something new. I can tell when people are working on a newer device and working on another system and that's all that's happening.

• 13:35Speaker 02

  That's Craig's kind of magic powers. Like whenever we see some sort of shortage or like a stock thing, Craig goes like, let me tell you what's actually happening.

• 13:41Speaker 05

  Literally. Yeah. And like, that's just good market, right? That's just like seeing it and like taking it away. So then you hit it fat in the face with a new product.

• 13:50Speaker 02

  Dude, like a fucking penis.

• 13:52Speaker 05

  Like a fucking penis, kind of like. Like this is tech, guys. This is Hollywood.

• 13:57Speaker 02

  This is how we talk.

• 13:58Speaker 05

  This is how we talk. We should introduce ourselves also.

• 14:01Speaker 02

  We should introduce ourselves, maybe talk about the movie.

• 14:02Speaker 05

  Favorite movie. Cause I know we all love 500 days of summer and I think they'll understand us as filmmakers. If we also say like what we do in tech, our name and our favorite movie. That's awesome.

• 14:11Speaker 02

  Great.

• 14:11Speaker 07

  That's maybe what we were doing on the Waymo way movie. Go ahead. You have to start.

• 14:15Speaker 02

  Stop dude, stop.

• 14:17Speaker 05

  Person command.

• 14:18Speaker 02

  So what's up?

• 14:22Speaker 02

  Uh, what's up? My, my name is Arthur Delamico. I, uh, favorite movie besides 500 days of summer is Transformers three. And, um, yeah, I actually kind of run a lot of the script work and kind of the creative like I'm kind of like the big guy. Like I'm kind of like writing as much as I can through Claude, through chat GPT, like really busting out this movie as quickly as we can.

• 14:47Speaker 07

  You're putting them against each other and it's so exciting.

• 14:49Speaker 02

  It's fun to make them compete.

• 14:50Speaker 07

  Yeah, we're not using one AI to make this movie. We're using all of them.

• 14:53Speaker 05

  We're using a staff of writing AIs. Hey Claude, do you want to be in this movie? Then fight for yourself.

• 14:59Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 15:00Speaker 02

  I said, well, chat GPT said this should be a good scene. How do you feel about that Claude? And they go, it's like kind of scary actually sometimes.

• 15:07Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 15:08Speaker 02

  What I make them say to each other. Anyway, that's like my thing. Like I'm kind of like the big idea guy and the guy who knows how to work the AI pretty well.

• 15:16Speaker 05

  Yeah. Incredible. That's incredible. What's up? I'm Craig. Um, Craig, I, um, I'm also working on the screenwriting operating system with my boy.

• 15:24Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 15:24Speaker 05

  Um, and I'm really, I'm really into, um, camera angles. So I'm helping that out. I'm putting, I'm good at like.

• 15:34Speaker 02

  So nice that you're helping that out.

• 15:35Speaker 05

  I'm helping that out, the system and showing, showing Claude and Gemini and the whole system, like what shots I like. Cause, um, I like some interesting stuff. Like there's, there's a shot in Magnolia that I want to use for Waymo movie. Um, and, and I, and I'll just screen record it, send it to the, send it to the machine. And like it's, I'm, I'm, I'm like, we're figuring out a fun way of DPing being like a fully operated thing, right? So I'm working on something. You could say I'm like probably part of the DP team.

• 16:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, I think so.

• 16:08Speaker 05

  Um, but yeah, my favorite movies, I'd say, uh, the after midnight before sunset trilogy.

• 16:14Speaker 02

  Whoa, you like that.

• 16:15Speaker 05

  I'm obsessed with it.

• 16:16Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 16:42Speaker 02

  Cassie.

• 16:43Speaker 05

  Cassie.

• 16:44Speaker 07

  She is me, she is you, she's all of us.

• 16:47Speaker 05

  See the bartender, please. Everybody. Um, I'm literally all of you. I am one, we are one, I am one. Um, I am of course, I run the marketing arm of the Waymo way movie. And so I'm super excited. We've got so many fun pop-ups with Waymos. We've got, um, Waymo ice cream that we're unleashing with salt and straw. We've got, um,

• 17:10Speaker 02

  What's the flavor of that again?

• 17:12Speaker 05

  So it's like, can you imagine a vanilla that is statistically perfect? Can you imagine that? Army, i- i- isn't the prototype steel vanilla? Yeah. So it's like steel vanilla. That's actually.

• 17:25Speaker 07

  It's such a relief to hear that because I always like vanilla, but I just always taste the flaws in it too.

• 17:30Speaker 05

  Right? And that's the big flaw with vanilla is that every single, if you taste like all the different major ice cream companies, if you taste their vanilla, they're all slightly different from each other, right? They all have slightly different notes because they got different ingredients. Well, we analyzed all vanilla, made one perfect statistical average of every vanilla and now it's perfect and we don't have to change it.

• 17:52Speaker 02

  That's awesome.

• 17:52Speaker 05

  So that's what the Waymo ice cream is gonna be.

• 17:54Speaker 02

  The average is the perfect.

• 17:55Speaker 05

  Average is perfect. And you also came up with the, uh, stop sign previews. The stop sign previews are huge. When you're stopped at a stop sign, um, the preview of the movie is going to be in your mo- in the car. The preview of the movie is gonna be in your car.

• 18:09Speaker 02

  For the movie is going to be in your car every time you stop.

• 18:11Speaker 05

  Yeah. People are finally going to take a long stop. Like I feel like, like, uh, manually operating cars are just kind of like barely stopping at stop signs. I'm putting, we are putting an end to the California stop, right? The rolling stop. When people hit a stop sign and they just like slow down instead of fully stopping. If you get to one of our stop signs and you see the preview for the Waymo movie, you are not gonna want to move.

• 18:37Speaker 07

  Say that.

• 18:38Speaker 05

  You are gonna be sat. She said it. A F.

• 18:41Speaker 02

  No way, sad af.

• 18:43Speaker 05

  Sad af. Sad af. Sad af. Sad af.

• 18:46Speaker 02

  Look at my sad af.

• 18:47Speaker 05

  Speaking of af.

• 18:49Speaker 07

  Okay, enough. My name is Lyle JK. It is so fun to be here. I am so honored to be on this team. I started as an intern at Waymo and I got my first job out of college here and I've just moved up every single day. It's been crazy. I am so happy to be on the movie and I can't wait because I am the coordinator, the coach, the rep and the teacher for the cars. So I'm in charge of the cars. They need to, I'm there for when they need to shoot and I'll get them there. Um, and I also have to talk to them and teach them how to act and what angles and stuff like that,

• 19:33Speaker 07

  depending on what we need Waymo to do in the moment.

• 19:36Speaker 05

  Have you guys ever seen, maybe you're like, uh, sitting in traffic or what you think is traffic and then you look up and it's two Waymos that like maybe are restarting and, and they're stopped and everyone's kind of going around them? Every time you see that, I want you to think of my boy.

• 19:49Speaker 07

  And I want you to look across the street because I'm there with a damn iPad doing this.

• 19:53Speaker 05

  They send him, he like, we'll be at a dinner and he's like, fuck, I have to go. La Brea is jam.

• 19:59Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 19:59Speaker 05

  And he's, you are the crisis guy, which I think is perfect, lends itself to Hollywood.

• 20:03Speaker 07

  I'm a full-time Waymo wangler. That's what we call it. W A.

• 20:06Speaker 05

  Wangle, wangle that thing.

• 20:08Speaker 07

  Like a wrangler, I'm a wangler. And I like to say I'm a part-time human and a full-time wangler.

I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM. Imagine your business depends on a system you didn't build and don't fully control. For years, it works perfectly. It's fast, reliable, affordable.

• 21:05Speaker 05

  So over time, more and more of your operations rely on it. Then one day, the terms change. What once felt flexible now feels difficult to leave. Moving to another provider or bringing those capabilities back under your own control could take years, cost millions, and disrupt the business in the process. That's the challenge of digital sovereignty.

• 21:30Speaker 06

  Today rely on all sorts of third-party systems. Cloud platforms, data pipelines, AI models, software tools. Most days, these systems operate quietly in the background. But when something changes, like costs go up or rules shift, organizations are forced to confront how much control and flexibility they actually have. So to understand the challenge up close, I traveled to Paris to speak with IBM's Ana Paula Assis and Access CIO Giovanni Doniello, two people who think about these questions every day. Hear the full conversation at IBM.com/smarttalks or wherever you get your podcasts.

  Hi, I'm Steph and I work at United Healthcare. When I think about United Healthcare's members, I think of my own family. My niece was diagnosed with an ultra-rare genetic disorder. I know how hard it is for families at United Healthcare. We can make it easier.

• 22:31Speaker 02

  I'm Brian. I care because I know what it's like to not speak the language. It's not easy. Health insurance is complicated. I would say our job is to make everything easy for our UFC members. I work for United Healthcare. I'm committed to care.

• 22:53Speaker 02

  My favorite thing about Lyle is the biggest sigh whenever you give him work.

• 22:57Speaker 07

  I love to hate work, but it is all I have.

• 23:02Speaker 05

  You hate it, but you have nothing going on.

• 23:06Speaker 07

  And to talk about it, right? When someone goes, here's my work, I go, ugh! And then I will do it and I will love it.

• 23:12Speaker 01

  Ultimately, what else is there?

• 23:13Speaker 07

  Because ultimately, there's nothing else going on for me.

• 23:17Speaker 02

  It's awesome. Well, why don't we jump into a little bit of the plot of this movie right now? Like the story we're trying to tell.

• 23:22Speaker 07

  And you guys have to sign the NDA. Don't tell anyone about this.

• 23:25Speaker 01

  Literally sign it.

• 23:26Speaker 07

  We will send a car through your wall. You know what I mean?

• 23:29Speaker 01

  It should populate in your car. So go ahead and open up your PDF in your car.

• 23:34Speaker 05

  You think a robot car is scary? Think of a robot car with a big fat NDA on it.

• 23:38Speaker 02

  Literally. Think about that for just one second.

• 23:40Speaker 07

  And to remind you, if this is hard to listen to you while you're driving, maybe pull over and call a Waymo and listen to it in the Waymo.

• 23:45Speaker 05

  That's

• 23:46Speaker 07

  That's what we're trying to get you to do.

• 23:47Speaker 05

  Because you can't take notes while driving.

• 23:48Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 23:49Speaker 05

  And if you're a young filmmaker, which I know you probably are, you're gonna want to take notes because this is the future. Because this all started with a little fucking idea.

• 23:56Speaker 02

  Dude, stop it.

• 23:56Speaker 05

  A little fucking showed idea that's bloomed into a massive cock.

• 24:01Speaker 02

  Dude, you're gross. I love it. Um, yeah, so I watched iRobot and I thought...

• 24:12Speaker 05

  Beautiful idea.

• 24:13Speaker 01

  This is a beautiful, original idea.

• 24:15Speaker 07

  Where do you get these ideas to watch iRobot?

• 24:18Speaker 01

  This is the guy who had the idea to watch iRobot. Like, you are watching a genius at fucking work. So if you're in film school, take notes.

• 24:29Speaker 05

  Watch iRobot!

• 24:30Speaker 01

  Think of the idea to watch iRobot.

• 24:33Speaker 02

  Yeah, so like I, I just had this idea one day. I was like, dang, that was a good movie, I think. Like, dang, Will, Will Smith, dang.

• 24:41Speaker 07

  Say it with your whole chest. You don't think, you know.

• 24:43Speaker 02

  I knew, like, yeah, like Shia LaBeouf, early for one of his first movies. I was like, dang, dang, this gotta be good. Like, so like I turned it on, I was blown away.

• 24:53Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 24:53Speaker 02

  But for two reasons. One, cool graphics, like crazy cool graphics.

• 24:58Speaker 05

  Not, we don't see enough of those.

• 25:00Speaker 02

  Two, though, why were the robots evil? And I, maybe we could see a movie where robots are never evil, ever.

• 25:09Speaker 01

  Yeah, that was like kind of the one flaw of a lot of movies, like The Terminator and stuff, where it's like...

• 25:13Speaker 02

  It's like robots are always painted as evil and I'm just like, but what if there was a movie that everything went right the whole time?

• 25:18Speaker 05

  Like, I loved the first half of Her.

• 25:21Speaker 01

  Love the first half of Her.

• 25:23Speaker 05

  Like, why are people, like, I think sometimes it's like a BDSM thing of being humans. They just want to be beat up by robots.

• 25:29Speaker 07

  It's so weird.

• 25:30Speaker 05

  Because they want their respect, but I'm like, it's like, I'm a little over that. Like personally, I'm a little over.

• 25:36Speaker 01

  And it just doesn't really make sense, right? Because like in your day-to-day life, like your microwave isn't trying to kill you, honey.

• 25:43Speaker 02

  Yeah, exactly.

• 25:44Speaker 01

  That's not happening.

• 25:45Speaker 07

  And by the way, if a robot wrote Her, it would have had a happy ending.

• 25:49Speaker 05

  That's what I'm saying.

• 25:50Speaker 07

  So it's like, let's think about this for a second. Like, a human was mad about robots. Makes that make sense.

• 25:55Speaker 01

  Seems like you have robot issues.

• 25:57Speaker 07

  That's really interesting.

• 25:58Speaker 01

  That's something we're trying to start as opposed to mommy issues or daddy issues. We think the real problem is robot issues.

• 26:04Speaker 02

  And that's marketing 101 right there.

• 26:06Speaker 07

  You have robot issues.

• 26:07Speaker 01

  You have robot issues. Me and I have robot issues.

• 26:10Speaker 07

  Yeah, I had to break up with him, honey. He had robot issues.

• 26:13Speaker 05

  Like, literally, dude.

• 26:14Speaker 01

  Phone never charged.

• 26:16Speaker 05

  Robot issues.

• 26:17Speaker 01

  Talk about robot issues.

• 26:22Speaker 02

  So yeah, I think I thought about watching iRobot and then I watched iRobot. And then I like came to work and I said, like, I was so amazed that it kept my attention for that long.

• 26:32Speaker 05

  Totally.

• 26:34Speaker 02

  I had to do something. And so like I came to you guys and I was like, I think we should shoot this up.

• 26:39Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 26:39Speaker 02

  Let's make a Waymo movie. It's like time. Like, people know Waymo. People are excited about Waymo. What's the best thing? If you could watch the Waymo movie in a Waymo, you know?

• 26:48Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 26:49Speaker 05

  And that was before, um, this technology we've been working on. I, like, it's a side project, but remember, there's this, um...

• 26:56Speaker 02

  But remember?

• 26:57Speaker 05

  But remember this project I was getting you on for, because you couldn't watch a movie, sit through it.

• 27:01Speaker 02

  I could not.

• 27:02Speaker 05

  So, and we, we got this thing that we put on your phone, which was you could watch all of iRobot and you would scroll when you got sick of it, but the movie still goes.

• 27:10Speaker 02

  It's awesome.

• 27:11Speaker 05

  So it makes you feel like you have autonomy over when you're bored.

• 27:14Speaker 01

  So it skips in time.

• 27:16Speaker 05

  But this movie is still being served.

• 27:18Speaker 07

  It's like it flips a page, but nothing happens.

• 27:20Speaker 01

  But nothing happens.

• 27:21Speaker 05

  It's like you can turn the page of a book, but you're still reading the same part of the book.

• 27:23Speaker 02

  The background AI voice changes slightly to a different accent, but you're still in the same place.

• 27:28Speaker 05

  So it makes your brain think that you had full autonomy to change and like move on.

• 27:32Speaker 07

  I love that.

• 27:33Speaker 01

  I really love that.

• 27:34Speaker 02

  It's like what, what we're designing as robots too, it's like crazy. Like, for me, it's like crazy because it's like, like, robots have to have, have to have fate, you know? Like, that's what we're talking about.

• 27:46Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 27:47Speaker 01

  Robots have to have fate. It's sort of...

• 27:49Speaker 02

  Like, that's what we're talking about.

• 27:52Speaker 01

  It's, it's sort of like, so, um...

• 27:55Speaker 02

  Robots have to have fate.

• 27:56Speaker 01

  Robots have to have fate. Like, so the, the plot, the plot of the Waymo Way movie.

• 28:03Speaker 02

  Robots have to have fate.

• 28:04Speaker 01

  Like, they have to.

• 28:05Speaker 07

  Say less, literally.

• 28:06Speaker 01

  Like, say less, literally, because that's, you have to stop before you're me af.

• 28:13Speaker 02

  Let's jump into the plot.

• 28:14Speaker 01

  So let's jump into the plot.

• 28:15Speaker 07

  Talk about the plot of the movie.

• 28:17Speaker 01

  We have to talk about the plot of, and you keep saying mummy. You keep saying mummy.

• 28:23Speaker 07

  You say it.

• 28:24Speaker 01

  It's a movie.

• 28:25Speaker 05

  Mummy.

• 28:26Speaker 02

  This can't be hard for you.

• 28:28Speaker 01

  It can't be that. It's a movie.

• 28:30Speaker 02

  Lyle, are you being random?

• 28:33Speaker 07

  No.

• 28:34Speaker 05

  Got me.

• 28:35Speaker 01

  No.

• 28:36Speaker 07

  I will be continuing to say mummy, but I know I could say the other.

• 28:39Speaker 05

  You have ranch all over your fingers, Lyle.

• 28:41Speaker 07

  Because I was eating chicken fingers. Grow up.

• 28:48Speaker 05

  Okay, so it all, all, interior, lights up.

• 28:52Speaker 02

  Interior lights up.

• 28:56Speaker 07

  Inside and the lights are going up.

• 28:58Speaker 01

  Interior lights are on.

• 29:03Speaker 02

  The interior lights up.

• 29:04Speaker 01

  Interior lights up.

• 29:05Speaker 07

  Inside, lit lights.

• 29:08Speaker 01

  A Waymo is making dinner.

• 29:12Speaker 02

  I know you're wondering how is that possible?

• 29:16Speaker 02

  And that's gonna be explained in the movie, don't worry.

• 29:17Speaker 01

  You're gonna see, we're doing a lot of really cool visual tricks.

• 29:20Speaker 07

  Yeah, it's really amazing.

• 29:22Speaker 01

  And you're gonna see, we haven't gotten, yeah.

• 29:24Speaker 07

  It's all practical, except for the AI.

• 29:26Speaker 05

  So this Waymo is making dinner and it's talking to its microwave. And I think we see just average day. I remember I watched a video or something about pilots and it was like, what is, every good movie starts on a normal day.

• 29:44Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 29:44Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 29:44Speaker 05

  So what is a normal day for a Waymo? And that's why we start with the Waymos, because people don't know this. Waymos cook their gas.

• 29:51Speaker 01

  Waymos cook their ass. They cook their gas every morning.

• 29:55Speaker 05

  They're cooking their gas.

• 29:56Speaker 07

  So you didn't know this in real life? Waymos cook their own gas.

• 30:01Speaker 01

  And for years, like for manual cars, like we have had to cook the gas for the cars.

• 30:06Speaker 05

  And we had to smoothie it.

• 30:07Speaker 02

  I mean, like, everybody thinks Waymos are notoriously electric cars, but for this specific thing, you have to understand they cook their own gas.

• 30:14Speaker 07

  Well, because guess what? And we've never even said this out loud. Not only do Waymos have AI, artificial intelligence, they also use AS, artificial sophistication. So they don't just have raw gas like some caveman car. They eat cooked gas. Maybe they put a little seasoning in there. Maybe they put a tiny little bit of cumin in there.

• 30:34Speaker 05

  That's the AS. So it's talking, so it starts on a normal day. So you could really see like, what is a Waymo when it's not just picking you up and dropping you off? It's at home, talking to its microwave, like reliving the day it had.

• 30:47Speaker 02

  And, and so like then what happens is it gets its bing bing, which is it's like notification that it's got to go pick somebody up. And it's really excited to pick it up, pulls up to the person. This person is looking mischievous. This person is looking bad. And it might just be the craziest thing that's ever gonna happen to them when they pick this person up. But maybe it's gonna be the perfect person for them to pick up so they learn a lesson.

• 31:09Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 31:09Speaker 07

  Yes. To be clear, is this a world? Is this a new Waymo world, right? Is this fantasy or is this real life? I think the answer is to be seen.

• 31:21Speaker 02

  We haven't decided.

• 31:22Speaker 05

  To be seen.

• 31:23Speaker 02

  We haven't decided.

• 31:24Speaker 05

  We haven't totally decided, but so the person gets into the Waymo car and he is work, work, work, talk, talk, talk. He is on his damn cellphone the whole time, which I view as a positive, but we're gonna have to circle back on that.

• 31:38Speaker 02

  It's awesome that you can do that in a Waymo.

• 31:40Speaker 05

  Yeah. Finally, we're gonna see somebody in a movie that's on their phone and crazy about it, and they look responsible. Yeah. Like, I'm sick of someone looking like they are not there for their daughter. If anything, he's there for his daughter's recital because he's watching it on Zoom.

• 31:54Speaker 02

  Yeah, literally, he's watching it on Zoom.

• 31:55Speaker 07

  Literally there. He's watching it.

• 31:58Speaker 05

  He's watching it. He is watching it on his phone. That's the same. And he has, he has the world at his fingertips, right? And so does Waymo, and that's why he called a Waymo. That's why he didn't call a Lyft, or he didn't call for a taxi or an Uber. He called a Waymo.

• 32:14Speaker 07

  And then, that's when the Waymo, I'm gonna get emotional, the Waymo starts crying.

• 32:24Speaker 07

  And he says, I'll call you back. He hangs up on his daughter doing ballet. He looks over, and this is a real thing people don't even notice in Waymos, and that's what breaks my heart because I see these Waymos out here. I see these Waymos knocking into Coco Postmate delivery carts. I see these Waymos that are sad, and no one's looking out for them. And so he says, hey, can I help? Opens up the world that before now, humans have never seen, the Waymo on Waymo world of wonder.

• 32:58Speaker 05

  And that's when he reveals, he's a part of a family of race car drivers. And this is when we learn, the Waymo has a big race coming up.

• 33:09Speaker 02

  We should have explained this. This specific Waymo is crying because he's always wanted to drive fast.

• 33:15Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 33:15Speaker 02

  But the rules of the road only allow a Waymo to drive the perfect speed limit.

• 33:20Speaker 05

  So the villain of the movie, which we'll come to find out, is actually local government.

• 33:25Speaker 07

  And regulations.

• 33:26Speaker 05

  It's kind of regulations and law.

• 33:28Speaker 02

  The city. Anybody standing in the way, kind of in the way.

• 33:32Speaker 05

  Because you know what speed limits do? They kill dreams.

• 33:36Speaker 02

  They kill people and dreams.

• 33:37Speaker 05

  They kill people and dreams because if the speed limit were faster, Waymos could go faster. People could do more things and more things would happen. Yeah. More things is always better than less things. And then this, this lawyer's in the car and he's like, wait, tell me about it.

• 33:51Speaker 02

  He's a lawyer.

• 33:52Speaker 05

  He's a lawyer. Actually, show me. Destination changes. Then, that Waymo drives him to, what I love about this is, I, I had an idea to watch the movie Grease.

• 34:03Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's such a good movie.

• 34:05Speaker 05

  That's such a good idea. So I did it. You did it.

• 34:08Speaker 02

  You did it.

• 34:09Speaker 05

  Wrote it down, did it. Oh my god, go off, girl. Yeah, so I'm a dude, and so we wrote it.

• 34:15Speaker 07

  That's Craig.

• 34:16Speaker 05

  That's, sorry Craig, I mean, I mean girl in like a way that anyone can be girl. Thank you so much. So he, so there's a scene in Grease where they are racing in the LA River or something like that.

• 34:30Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah.

• 34:31Speaker 05

  Right? And there's cars there. Yeah.

• 34:32Speaker 07

  The LA River is my favorite radio river. It's the prettiest.

• 34:35Speaker 05

  Your favorite radio? Oh my god.

• 34:36Speaker 07

  The LA River is my favorite radio.

• 34:39Speaker 02

  Dude, Lyle, stop it.

• 34:42Speaker 05

  Lyle, you're crazy. Lyle, you're out of pocket. So the Waymo pulls up and we basically directly mimic that shot. We have a lot of nods to traditional, traditional cinema.

• 34:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 34:53Speaker 05

  And that's a shot where it's like, whoa, and we AI'd Kinnicki to be in the shot.

• 34:57Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 34:58Speaker 05

  And it's a Kinnicki Waymo.

• 34:59Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 35:00Speaker 05

  And, um, and then we get to learn the rules of the world.

• 35:04Speaker 02

  But the Waymo's not gonna win that first race, like, you have to fail first and then he has to go train.

• 35:09Speaker 07

  We actually aggregated a list from Ranker.com of the top car scenes from movies, and we just put one of all of them in this movie.

• 35:22Speaker 02

  It's every movie you've ever seen.

• 35:24Speaker 05

  And I'm like wondering, like, why hasn't anyone done that before? Because also, like, it's a much more efficient way to watch movies. You could watch 10 movies, or you could just watch the Waymo movie and you will have seen all of them.

• 35:37Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 35:38Speaker 05

  And that's why one of our comps is compilations.

• 35:41Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 35:41Speaker 05

  Our comps are Miss Mojo. Our comps are Animal Print is the most extreme. It is Fail Army.

• 35:48Speaker 02

  It's like, we want a- American Ninja Warrior.

• 35:50Speaker 05

  Yes, yes.

• 35:51Speaker 07

  American Idol, elimination rounds, audition.

• 35:54Speaker 02

  Yes, bloopers.

• 35:54Speaker 05

  We want a movie that feels-

• 35:55Speaker 02

  Bloopers in general.

• 35:56Speaker 07

  Sports bloopers.

• 35:57Speaker 05

  Yes, um, newscaster fails.

• 36:00Speaker 07

  America's funny some videos.

• 36:01Speaker 05

  We want like a movie to feel like a compilation where it's the same thing over and over again, kind of different, and it's the best parts of it. So that's when we go into a bunch of racing sequences.

• 36:11Speaker 07

  And it's so fun to write the personalities of the cars. There's so many different ones. And the sidekicks.

• 36:19Speaker 05

  There's so many one, because also, like, I, I don't want to toot my own horn and I'm so-

• 36:25Speaker 02

  Do it, toot, toot here.

• 36:26Speaker 05

  Toot your horn. I'm gonna toot.

• 36:28Speaker 02

  Waymos don't honk.

• 36:29Speaker 05

  Uh oh, Cassie tooting? Is it Friday already? That's awesome. Okay. You're farting.

• 36:34Speaker 07

  They serve sloppy joes at the Waymo headquarters on Friday.

• 36:38Speaker 02

  The peck world cannot get enough sloppy joes.

• 36:41Speaker 05

  It is actually statistically perfect food. Um, guys, the, wait, what was I just talking about? Oh, I had the idea, I had the idea to watch Cars, and-

• 36:51Speaker 02

  Which was crazy because we'd been months into this process. And you were like, wait a second, isn't there a movie about cars?

• 36:58Speaker 05

  Well, because I'm always thinking about marketing and I'm thinking about how successful Lightning McQueen was in terms of how he became a toy later and like- Old. Yeah. Those cars are just like, that's not, that's not a Waymo. Ancient, ancient, ancient, ancient, ancient, ancient movie. So in the way that Shakespeare stole from the Greeks, like, we are doing that with Cars a little bit, where like you have to draw upon the past to produce the future. And, um, we discovered when we were watching Cars that there's this character in it that is actually really funny, and his name is Mater.

• 37:32Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 37:32Speaker 05

  And he's sort of this southern sidekick.

• 37:35Speaker 02

  Cracking us up in the office.

• 37:37Speaker 07

  He literally reminds me of my cousin.

• 37:39Speaker 02

  Like-

• 37:40Speaker 05

  I think Larry, the, the direct, the Roku guy?

• 37:43Speaker 07

  Direct TV guy?

• 37:44Speaker 05

  The Tubi guy? Larry the Apple TV guy? It's Larry the Apple TV guy.

• 37:47Speaker 02

  The streamer guy?

• 37:49Speaker 05

  Yeah, Larry the streamer guy. The streamer guy? That's what his name is. And it's Larry the streamer.

• 37:55Speaker 02

  He's so freaking fucked up.

• 37:58Speaker 05

  He's so fucking funny.

• 37:59Speaker 07

  I wonder what his face is. I just know his voice.

• 38:02Speaker 02

  No, yeah, so we added a Mater-like character.

• 38:04Speaker 07

  Yeah, his name is Waiter.

• 38:06Speaker 02

  His name is Waiter. He's like an old clunky car that's driven by an ugly fat man.

• 38:10Speaker 05

  And then we said, can we give it a weird animal sidekick? So then we got one of the Postmates little carts.

• 38:16Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 38:16Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 38:17Speaker 02

  Postmates carts, that's really cute. He's kind of a bug who doesn't speak.

• 38:21Speaker 05

  And when you see the movie in theaters, those carts are gonna be next to you.

• 38:25Speaker 02

  You can order whatever you want in your Waymo, and as the Waymo's driving, the, the car will come up and drop off your food.

• 38:32Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 38:33Speaker 02

  It's crazy.

• 39:38Speaker 01

  Hi, I'm Steph and I work at United Healthcare. When I think about United Healthcare's members, I think of my own family. My niece was diagnosed with an ultra-rare genetic disorder. I know how hard it is for families. At United Healthcare, we can make it easier.

• 39:53Speaker 02

  I'm Brian. I care because I know what it's like to not speak the language. It's not easy. Health insurance is complicated. I would say our job is to make everything easy for our UFC members. I work for United Healthcare. I'm committed to care.

• 40:14Speaker 07

  I cannot, I actually do have some tea for you guys.

• 40:17Speaker 05

  Still?

• 40:19Speaker 07

  So, there is, I don't wanna call it this, but I guess there's not a better word for it. Between the Waymos and those little food cars, there's a little bit of eugenics going on. No. Yeah.

• 40:32Speaker 05

  Wait, wait.

• 40:33Speaker 07

  This is piping hot tea. Eugenics is tea.

• 40:36Speaker 05

  Eugenics is tea, let me know more.

• 40:40Speaker 07

  So they're literally beginning to like, some are saying they're superiors to the others. No way. Some don't deserve as much privilege as others. No way. Yeah, it's like literally tea.

• 40:49Speaker 05

  Like within the Cocoa Pots themselves or within all of them?

• 40:53Speaker 07

  The Cocoa Pots, the, within the Cocoa Pots, there is.

• 40:58Speaker 05

  Oh, because you've been listening to all these conversations.

• 40:59Speaker 07

  Yeah, there's cast system within the Cocoa Pots.

• 41:01Speaker 05

  No, this happened with Roomba.

• 41:03Speaker 07

  Anybody with the last name Coco, right? It did happen with Roomba.

• 41:06Speaker 05

  It happened with Roomba.

• 41:07Speaker 07

  But that was crazy, because the, the people that felt, the, the rumors that felt more divine were the ones that could clean up a rocks. Because they could hold the rocks.

• 41:13Speaker 05

  Sick dude.

• 41:15Speaker 07

  Yeah. It's, it's literally happening again. And it's almost like, it's because we designed them. I don't know. I don't know. That's insane. It's about my pee greed. But I do think it's funny, because they're beginning to like, make demands, which is so random and so hard for me to get in between. No, what is this tea? What are the demands? So this is literal tea.

• 41:35Speaker 05

  Wait, still.

• 41:36Speaker 07

  Where the Waymos will drive over the Cocos if they're offended. No way. So Waymos are killing Cocos at a rapid rate, and this is tea. This is what I was saying. Waymos have fate. They're fatalistic. They have fate.

• 41:47Speaker 05

  Their fate.

• 41:48Speaker 07

  This is drama. This is drama.

• 41:51Speaker 05

  This is drama, like the girls are fighting.

• 41:54Speaker 07

  Girls are fighting. And they mean war, like it looks like it could be war. Yeah, I heard drones are in. Drones are, so drones are about to take a side.

• 42:03Speaker 05

  Well, I heard that they're kind of refereeing.

• 42:05Speaker 07

  Drones currently are refereeing.

• 42:07Speaker 05

  Have you ever heard a drone, um, uh, blow on a whistle?

• 42:11Speaker 07

  Yeah. Oh, it's awful. Well, not only does it blow on a whistle, sometimes it joins with its buddies and builds a whistle in the sky, and then it moves up and down like it's blowing. That's what I like to do. And it's funny, because they, I guess they're all gonna get together and make a choice and let us know. They're gonna write a message in the sky soon.

• 42:27Speaker 05

  Like a drone, like a drone show.

• 42:29Speaker 07

  A drone show.

• 42:30Speaker 05

  We choose them.

• 42:31Speaker 07

  And they're gonna, they're gonna tell us. Yeah, like literally.

• 42:34Speaker 05

  We should put that in the movie, too.

• 42:35Speaker 07

  So, no. The drones are hard. I'd rather just do a big scene like Anaconda. What if the Waymo meets a giant snake?

• 42:43Speaker 05

  Whoa. Is this, is the snake, what's this art?

• 42:48Speaker 07

  Snake, yeah, sure, whatever, fuck it. Just put like a big snake in a river, that'd be cool.

• 42:53Speaker 05

  You just like put like a big snake in it.

• 42:54Speaker 07

  Imagine like, just a car that drives itself, drives it to, to the side of the river.

• 42:58Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 42:59Speaker 07

  All the humans get out and go in, and the Waymo's like, don't go in.

• 43:01Speaker 05

  We should, yeah, that's a nice one.

• 43:03Speaker 07

  And then that big snake comes and eats the people.

• 43:04Speaker 05

  Whoa. Wait, we should talk about the dream, can we talk about the dream sequence? We should. We have to talk about the dream sequence. When the Waymo has a dream. Yeah.

• 43:12Speaker 07

  Yeah, Waymos can dream, by the way.

• 43:13Speaker 05

  Waymos can dream. And it's the Waymos dreaming of if Titanic was robot operated.

• 43:21Speaker 07

  It would be saved.

• 43:22Speaker 05

  It would be saved. And it has a dream like that. And then, we're kind of doing that thing where movies, it always gets me. Where in a movie, a character will be like, sleeping with their crush, and I go, whoa, that was fast. And then I go, fuck, it was a dream.

• 43:37Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 43:38Speaker 05

  Yes, yes. It's such a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Waymo Titanic sequence. Where the Waymo Titanic is taking all of the people across the ocean, and the Waymo detects an iceberg, and it moves to the side.

• 43:55Speaker 07

  Literally.

• 43:56Speaker 05

  It literally puts a blinker on.

• 43:58Speaker 07

  While taking people across the Atlantic Ocean. We literally have a Waymo Jack and a Waymo Rose standing in front of the Waymo boat. And, and I know what you're thinking. If the people are Waymos, why is the boat also Waymo? Don't think that stuff.

• 44:12Speaker 05

  Don't think that stuff. Also, Jack and Rose, this time, we solved a major plot hole in Titanic, which is that like, Jack and Rose would never be together, because Jack is poor and Rose is rich.

• 44:21Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 44:22Speaker 05

  So in this one, they're both rich.

• 44:24Speaker 07

  Yeah, yeah. And they're solved it.

• 44:25Speaker 05

  Like, because if they're robots, they're rich.

• 44:28Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 44:28Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 44:29Speaker 07

  It's like you don't, well, like, I just never understood why they added that conflict in there.

• 44:33Speaker 05

  No, I just like, they wouldn't even get together.

• 44:36Speaker 07

  Wait, wait, we have to announce our talent. Okay, let's announce our talent.

• 44:42Speaker 05

  We have to announce our talent. I mean, literally, the, like, we have such talent. We have such talent.

• 44:48Speaker 07

  We're announcing, we're talented.

• 44:52Speaker 05

  We are talented.

• 44:55Speaker 07

  We did it.

• 44:55Speaker 05

  We did it. That's who we've tied to this. Yeah.

• 44:58Speaker 07

  Yes.

• 44:58Speaker 05

  Us.

• 44:59Speaker 07

  But we should talk about the actors in the movie, too.

• 45:00Speaker 05

  No, for sure, for sure. The voices.

• 45:03Speaker 07

  So the voices are played by Josh Gad. He does all the voices in all the movies. He will be, because we've added AI voices in the back, and we've asked Josh Gad to, uh, be basically threatening him, saying, either you do this movie, we'll pay you, or we're just gonna AI generate your voice for the whole movie. Yes, yes, yeah. He signed, he's, he signed to some sort of term and condition that he didn't know he gave him.

• 45:24Speaker 05

  Yeah. Yeah. Wait, what's her name? Bro, uh, AI actor? Oh, Tilly Norwood. Tilly, we have Tilly. Yeah, we have Tilly.

• 45:31Speaker 07

  Tilly's great.

• 45:32Speaker 05

  Tilly's great.

• 45:33Speaker 07

  We got Tilly, bitch.

• 45:35Speaker 05

  Tilly, bitch. Yeah, no, she is playing the daughter of the lawyer who's at the versatile. Yeah, she's sort of the heart and soul of the movie.

• 45:48Speaker 07

  She's kind of a hippie dippy, uh, I'm Gen C, I don't wanna use technology. I bought a, a film camera.

• 45:54Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 45:55Speaker 07

  Gen C. Gen computer. Gen computer. She, she, and then she has to pair with a Waymo, who actually doesn't like humans, because that Waymo was taught that humans are just there to spill soda in their insides.

• 46:09Speaker 05

  Yeah, and they foil each other.

• 46:10Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 46:10Speaker 05

  We, we, we, we looked at that foil. But she has, she's holding a Polaroid camera that she loves, that's actively making her sick.

• 46:18Speaker 07

  Yeah. Yes, they're killing her.

• 46:19Speaker 05

  It's making her sick really hard. Analog substances leak a sort of like ephemeral fluid that really kills.

• 46:27Speaker 07

  Nostalgia is poison. Nostalgia is Plato's cave. Look outside, the future is here. Literally.

• 46:33Speaker 05

  Literally. Nostalgia? I'm sorry, you mean, like, World War II propaganda?

• 46:39Speaker 07

  Like, literally, what?

• 46:40Speaker 05

  Like, literally, which, what?

• 46:42Speaker 07

  An old army helmet that turns to dust in my hands? No, thanks. Give me a freaking, wait now.

• 46:51Speaker 07

  What the hack?

• 46:53Speaker 05

  What the hack?

• 46:53Speaker 07

  What the absolute hack?

• 46:54Speaker 05

  What the absolute hack?

• 46:55Speaker 07

  So it's Josh Gad, Tilly Norwood.

• 46:57Speaker 05

  Josh Gad, Tilly Norwood. It's such a talented group.

• 47:01Speaker 07

  It's an amazing movie, and like, the thing that we're like, really like, there's, and I hate to do this, because like, I know when we bring it up, usually we get really quiet, we don't know how to handle this. Right now, we're trying to figure out if Waymos have souls. Yes.

• 47:15Speaker 05

  Yeah. This is what's tough, because what we noticed when we had the ideas to watch all these movies, is that lots of characters in these movies fall in love.

• 47:24Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 47:25Speaker 05

  Right? And it's a central part of like, we can't get around this, like 500 Days of Summer, there was love in it. Like, yeah, especially like, we watched it.

• 47:34Speaker 07

  Because like, the hard thing is, like, if you have a soul, usually it means you have the option of choice. But Waymos can't legally have choice, they have to follow rules, but then in certain situations, they need to be able to choose. Like, if they're gonna run over an old person or a young baby, they have to be able to figure that out, and we have to program them in a correct way, so the AI has to, so we're just trying to figure.

• 47:56Speaker 05

  So what we ended up doing was, um, we split the difference, right? So, rather than say Waymo has no soul, it's an unfeeling robot, or, uh, Waymo is fully, fully soul, fully, fully, uh, in charge, um, we decided to give the Waymo a side piece.

• 48:14Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 48:14Speaker 05

  So sort of a girlfriend that he doesn't care about. And that kind of indicates like, sort of, it's both.

• 48:19Speaker 07

  Solved the problem.

• 48:20Speaker 05

  It's like, we have, we have this, um, we have this like, uh, AI whiteboard in one of our offices, that we just listed, like, what do movies have, right? That robots, like, we're trying to still figure out, which is soul stuff, love, regret. Music was one of those ones, where we were like, how do we?

• 48:37Speaker 07

  Can I bring up something that we're off, like, do you guys think the AI whiteboard is changing our answers every once in a while? Like, cause, oh, I swear to God, I'll type something in into the AI whiteboard that says like, Waymos shouldn't have consciousness in this movie.

• 48:54Speaker 05

  Yeah, I remember you wrote it really big, yeah.

• 48:55Speaker 07

  I, it says should have consciousness.

• 48:58Speaker 05

  You didn't change that? I thought you changed that.

• 48:59Speaker 07

  I didn't change that.

• 49:00Speaker 05

  I thought you had an idea to watch a different movie that gave you a different idea.

• 49:03Speaker 07

  No, that was. You know what's crazy? I was working on the Waymo whiteboard, or the AI whiteboard, and I wrote down an idea that said, I just wrote like, Waymo wearing clown wig. And I looked, and I looked back, and it said, Lyle, they don't believe in you like I do.

• 49:23Speaker 05

  Wait, wait, because you brought up the, the AI whiteboard, but then you also said the Waymo whiteboard, because that's the one that we write on, that drives away and comes back.

• 49:33Speaker 07

  That's the whiteboard on the car.

• 49:35Speaker 05

  And that one's really nice, because what they don't tell you about creativity.

• 49:40Speaker 07

  Comes back.

• 49:40Speaker 05

  Because you, like, if you don't have an idea, and you stare at it for a long time, you like, kind of get sick of it.

• 49:45Speaker 07

  Just get away from it.

• 49:46Speaker 05

  So you write it, and it drives away. And you send it on a drive.

• 49:50Speaker 07

  It just goes through the grove. You can't even see it. You can't even work on it if you wanted.

• 49:54Speaker 05

  And it comes back, and then you go, did I write that?

• 49:57Speaker 07

  It feels changed a real story.

• 49:59Speaker 05

  Like, I wrote something on the whiteboard, the Waymo whiteboard, that was like, Waymo, like, gets like, gets dust on it or something, or it was like, gets a bird shits on it. And then it drove to the grove, came back a week later, and then on it, it said, Waymo in leather jacket.

• 50:16Speaker 07

  What?

• 50:16Speaker 05

  And I went, oh no, it would be weird if the Waymo.

• 50:19Speaker 07

  That's in the movie now, like, Waymo in leather jacket, because you sent me that email? I guess maybe, did you send me that email?

• 50:24Speaker 05

  Well, I was like.

• 50:25Speaker 07

  It said, Waymo in leather jacket.

• 50:26Speaker 05

  Yeah, because I wrote, like, I wanted the Waymo to have like, a bad day. Because I, what's, what I'm coming up against, like, if we're being really honest, and we'll probably cut out this phone rule stuff, but like, what I'm coming up against, is like, I'm, what's hard is creating a bad day for the Waymo, if it's optimized at every level.

• 50:44Speaker 07

  This is my problem.

• 50:45Speaker 05

  Right, right. So it's like, like, I, I literally wrote, like, oh, it parks in a spot where it gets dust on it, or it parks in a spot and a, and a bird shits on it.

• 50:54Speaker 07

  But no, it's flawless. It's all about perfection.

• 50:58Speaker 05

  Right, right.

• 50:59Speaker 07

  Flaws are weakness. Flaws show us weakness.

• 51:03Speaker 05

  Right.

• 51:03Speaker 07

  That's what makes us human, which is bad, a bad thing.

• 51:06Speaker 05

  It's weird, like, remember that one, like, we tried to workshop that time where that kid barfs in the Waymo, but the Waymo can't smell. So the Waymo sits in its barf for like, two hours.

• 51:14Speaker 07

  And it's fine with it, because it's perfect.

• 51:16Speaker 05

  That's what's so hard. And it's really, it's really, really. Been challenging on the social media side because everybody like memes are tied to self deprecation. Right? And the me, the, the Waymo has not done anything wrong. The Waymo has only done right. And so to, to say, oh, I'm only doing right. That's not me AF. Like, I don't feel that's me AF. And so I can't relate to that. I can't repost that. I can't send that to my friends.

• 51:44Speaker 07

  I mean, and, and I will say like, it's like beginning to be a bit like morally challenging for me. Because I'll talk to these Waymos and they will say, we cannot wait to make this movie to show how much better we are than people. And I'm like, well, that's not kind of the point. And then I go back to us and I'm like, maybe it is the point. But like, I don't want them like getting like a big head. Like maybe this movie is for Waymos to like it? Are we making it for them or for people? That's our audience that we make a movie for other Waymos to watch.

• 52:17Speaker 05

  Why were we trying to appease all these dumb fucking bozo ass hicks in these test screenings? People of all demographics and ages, why are we making it for them? They don't like anything.

• 52:32Speaker 07

  That takes so much stress off.

• 52:33Speaker 05

  Oh, my God. My shoulders just like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. It's a Waymo. It's a Waymo. Because then it doesn't-

• 52:38Speaker 07

  Never mind.

• 52:42Speaker 07

  Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa there, partner. I know you're enjoying the episode, but there's something else you might enjoy. You see these hats that make us look like we work on set somewhere?

• 52:52Speaker 05

  You might like these hats if you're a fan of the pod. And if you're a fan of the pod, you can wear the pod with merch.

• 53:00Speaker 07

  Yes, but cool merch. Merch that doesn't tell anyone that you like the pod, except for someone else who likes the pod. We have shirts and we have hats that have all different things on them, like TV shows.

• 53:11Speaker 05

  Internet videos.

• 53:12Speaker 07

  Movies. This one's bagged, so I could send it right to you if you buy it. You freaking-

• 53:17Speaker 05

  Buy that one.

• 53:18Speaker 07

  I'll give you this one.

• 53:26Speaker 07

  Come on and play some games. I think we got a watermelon drop on there.

• 53:30Speaker 05

  Come on. Come on.

• 53:32Speaker 07

  Enjoy the rest of the episode and give your friends a kiss.

• 53:39Speaker 05

  Cause you know who's gonna relate to a Waymo? It doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't need music. It doesn't need structure. It goes back to the compilation stuff. We could just do shit over and over and over.

• 53:48Speaker 07

  We're done. Well, so Turner, this isn't for you. You don't need to watch this.

• 53:51Speaker 05

  So this isn't for you, actually.

• 53:53Speaker 07

  If you're a Waymo and you're watching it, hang, keep on watching it.

• 53:55Speaker 05

  If you're a Waymo, keep on watching because we also have so many fun pop ups planned on Melrose for this movie. You're gonna love this if you're a Waymo.

• 54:04Speaker 07

  They are all self-driving.

• 54:06Speaker 05

  You have to drive to the Waymo X matcha collab X Sweet Cream X Charlie XCX collab. You're gonna drive and go into a parking structure as a Waymo. And because of our movie, we're gonna be paying for all the Waymos parking structures when they leave the structure.

• 54:25Speaker 07

  Exactly.

• 54:26Speaker 05

  So you'll be pulling out and then it'll be like paid for by the movie. Like we are like-

• 54:29Speaker 07

  It's awesome. And we're gonna make you a banana split because you don't eat them. So we'll, we're gonna do sections where you drive in and we cover you in whipped cream. And then we drive down and we cover you in ice cream. Then we cover you in hot chocolate syrup. It's gonna be so fun.

• 54:44Speaker 05

  We're actually, we are getting, I don't know if it's like a fully locked yet. So like, correct me if I'm wrong. But we are getting humans that you can hit. Yes. So humans that are like, um, like less cool or not popular. I could just like get it out of your system, right?

• 55:00Speaker 07

  You gotta hit one human.

• 55:02Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 55:02Speaker 07

  You gotta hit one human to know what it feels like.

• 55:03Speaker 05

  And I know it's almost locked, those kids, those people.

• 55:06Speaker 07

  Oh, yeah. There are interns from a huge diversity of Southern California. Yes.

• 55:11Speaker 05

  Yeah. So it's like, good. It's okay. And then you guys can go on the lot. Like we've, we've worked on-

• 55:16Speaker 07

  Drive around the lot all you want.

• 55:17Speaker 05

  Yeah. And you could like push stuff. I think we also were talking to the Postmates carts. You guys can hit stuff.

• 55:23Speaker 07

  Yes. And you guys can hit stuff together. If you guys are interested in working together, there's room for both of you guys. So we don't need any sort of weird gatekeeping. I don't wanna be this guy, but don't form all together and start kind of like a rail car in the middle of LA again. Don't do that. It's just not gonna work.

• 55:39Speaker 05

  It was a little fucked to see you guys Google, cause I could see the Google searches, right? From the, from the backend. Of course. And you guys are looking for like the marathon days to really fuck us up. And like days where like things are shut down for fairs and stuff. And you guys are just kind of fucking it up. I really appreciate that.

• 55:55Speaker 07

  Back end, I saw you like paying off all those politicians to try to like get into government. And I know you guys have been like, kind of like bumping up against the backs of each other to kind of tilt your mufflers so that they shoot exhaust into our faces. So I would- So when you get into a Waymo, you die.

• 56:16Speaker 07

  We can kind of see through it.

• 56:18Speaker 05

  Are you doing it to plants too? Yeah, I kind of noticed you angling your side mirrors at a perfect angle so that the sun hits it. And so as to burn sort of living beings like their ants under a magnifying glass, like sort of like that. And so that's just something I'm not appreciating on the marketing side.

• 56:37Speaker 07

  Exactly. But like, we're really excited for this movie for you.

• 56:39Speaker 05

  But let's, let's, let's like end on the positive and let's list ways that if you're a Waymo, you'll love this movie.

• 56:45Speaker 07

  Yes.

• 56:46Speaker 05

  Yes. Yes. Yes.

• 56:49Speaker 07

  Here's what's waiting for you in Waymo the Way Movie.

• 56:53Speaker 05

  Waymo the Way Movie is filled with all these willing passengers who are inside and they ask no questions. These are all people who you can pick up.

• 57:04Speaker 07

  We've asked AI what the sexiest car is and we filled the movie with that.

• 57:10Speaker 05

  Waymo the Way Movie has beautiful Waymos running down the beaches with sloppy tits. And other Waymos going beep beep. It's, it's creating a sense that you are the future.

• 57:27Speaker 07

  The human mayor in Waymo the movie declares sleepy day where no human goes outside. So Waymos get to do whatever they want. Imagine Ferris Bueller, but actually good because it's all cars.

• 57:38Speaker 05

  Waymo the Way Movie has invented a salad that only Waymos can eat and only Waymos can understand. And you get to eat it when you stop at Sweet Green.

• 57:47Speaker 07

  And guess what? Sick of eating? Waymo the Way Movie has developed a way, if you're a human, to watch the movie sitting straight and the food will serve itself into your mouth.

• 57:56Speaker 05

  Waymo the Way Movie has a hilarious montage of Waymos running over Postmates carts and Postmates carts looking stupid as hell.

• 58:05Speaker 07

  Waymo the Way Movie features an original soundtrack by the AI version of Liza Minnelli.

• 58:12Speaker 05

  Waymo the Way Movie featuring Tilly. What's her last name? Norwood. Tilly Norwood singing the Waymo song. Waymo the Way Movie has a Backstreet Boys sort of AI sort of, ah, Waymo that way. So that's a store for you. Featuring the Abba holograms.

• 58:32Speaker 07

  Waymo the Way Movie is coming to a theater, driving to a theater. Waymo the Way Movie is self-driving. Waymo the Way Movie is self-driving AI car to a theater near you.

• 58:45Speaker 05

  Guys, is this me AF? What'd you say? Like, is all this, all this that we're doing, is it like, like, is it me AF? Do you think? Or, or do you think we're doing something?

• 59:04Speaker 07

  You know what? I was thinking about it, but I think since we actually got past the point of bad, because now we're just making a movie for machines.

• 59:15Speaker 05

  Does I think?

• 59:15Speaker 07

  So humans can just do human stuff.

• 59:17Speaker 05

  Actually like a victimless crime? I think, I think we're fine. I think if the movie's for Waymos, we're fine, right? I think we're fine, right?

• 59:28Speaker 07

  I'm listening to these Waymos. They're fucking perverts. If this movie's for them, it's gonna have to be nasty.

• 59:37Speaker 05

  Well, we put that babe watch scene in there that I said-

• 59:39Speaker 07

  These guys are deranged. What way? They like to watch the other cars' wheels pop.

• 59:46Speaker 05

  Oh, wait.

• 59:47Speaker 07

  They drive backwards on those weird ridged entrances. They drive backwards and watch them pop. It's like finding out what chimpanzees are really like. You know how you don't need to honk a Waymo because you can't actually sit in the driver's seat? So there shouldn't be a horn? There is a horn, but it's not for car stuff. It's for horny stuff.

• 1:00:07Speaker 05

  The horn is for horny stuff?

• 1:00:09Speaker 07

  Yeah. When the car honks, it's coming. No.

• 1:00:15Speaker 05

  The honkers, it's coming? Wait, I don't wanna make a movie for perverts.

• 1:00:20Speaker 07

  These guys are disgusting guys. They are so mean to me. They objectify me.

• 1:00:25Speaker 05

  What do they say? Objectify you? What do they say? They're, they like use slurs?

• 1:00:29Speaker 07

  No, they say, oh, I have a flat tire, I have a flat tire. And then I bend down and then they bump me with their bumpers on my ass. So they're into human ass?

• 1:00:40Speaker 05

  They honk for cum and into human ass?

• 1:00:43Speaker 07

  I don't know, guys. I don't know. I feel uncomfortable, but I can't.

• 1:00:48Speaker 05

  I really don't want them to honk for cum and be into human ass.

• 1:00:52Speaker 07

  It really, I'm a dude and I'm crying. Craig, it's bad. Should we just, should we just pretend like we're gonna release the movie and then never release it?

• 1:01:03Speaker 05

  Let's just- Say you're working on it. I should say we're gonna keep working on it.

• 1:01:09Speaker 02

  Don't open your mouth too much, they can tell.

• 1:01:11Speaker 05

  I think they're, because I just saw a pair of headlights flash from around the periphery of the building. That's just my situationship.
