Don't forget to subscribe to us on YouTube, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also visitors at w w W dot k y x files dot com and now onto our show title. They're not trying to pull And yeah, that was an eer for me as well, like how well we rifved on a story in a world we didn't you know, Yeah, this was a completely made up world and we were able to just riff. Yeah, a lot of fun.

1:07 I don't want to give up their trade secrets of how they edit, but their editing process made me think that what you're saying, like, hey, I'm gonna read along with you and we'll come up, but we'll make this happen. Now take the end product. It's super clean. You only ever hear one party, right, right, and those of us. In pro audio, you can listen and you can hear when the microphone has been stopped and started again. Okay, I can tell just by the way someone's talking. Because if you say, hey, we're gonna pause here, man, take a breather, okay, and I and you paused it right now, and I took a breathe and I sit back. Oh god. And then a few minutes goes by and they say, well, do you ready to start again? Yeah, yeah, let's start again. You can hit it again. Okay. Well, now I've leaned back in and I'm not exactly where I was before in front of this mic. I'm a little off.

2:01 I'm on a different position. I might have adjusted, it might have had different you know whatever. All of that's going to be relayed through your voice and you're breathing. So when you listen to these stories, you can hear that there's multiple times that people have readjusted and continue talking. Because if you do it on the fly, then you get something like this like yeah, yeah, Josh, you're absolutely right man, And you know, then you get this, you know, or you get this in a kind of smooth transition, you know, that area of capturing the mic, the area of effect. Well, and the other thing is they could absolutely be using phones. Yeah, so if you're doing a call in style, a person holds the phone the same way no matter what, and if you're using AirPods or earbuds, there's even more. Yeah, you know it's not going anywhere, so you know your mic placement change isn't going to happen. Yeah, and editing that is not as big of a deal, right, because even if you do get tripped up, you can back up and say, Okay, let's let's do that line again. Let's do it again. Yeah.

3:13 Yeah. In all of it's like it's sad because it's like part of me, okay, the business, the business minded part of me goes fuck. I can't really, I can't really bad mouth this, right because I searched and searched, and nowhere did I find anything claiming that it was one authenticity. Well, and even then, I mean, nobody, nobody in the right mind is going to say that like they're trying to prove it as science and actual fact. You know, a lot of this stuff is just the romance of these scary stories to tell in the dark around the campfire. You know, that's all it is. You know, some people, you know, have some freaky, weird ass experiences in the woods and in life, and you know, those people want to tell their story and a lot of times they come to people like that because they want to be in an environment that it feels like their story belongs. You know, I could see that, Yeah, you know what I mean. Like if if you've got a story about something ridiculous you did when you was younger and you were drinking and partying with your buddies, yeah, you're gonna want to tell that story in in an environment that it makes sense. You know, you're not going to sit in the office of your with your boss, you know, and tell this story. I could probably do that. My boss is pretty cool,

4:43 right, well, yeah, there's some of us that we could. Yeah, but like for the most part, like if you're you're not going to say, like you're in a room full and investor and be like, hey, by the way, this one time when I was like twenty, we did this wild you know. Yeah, yeah, do that, but like in an environment of your peers that are also like that, right, you know it's true though, I guess the honestly part of me goes, part of me goes, what a bunch of horseship man, you're fucking lying to people. But the other part of me is like, it's entertainment. It's an he's an entertainer, He's it doesn't matter. It's like getting mad at a at a movie star for not actually being the terminator. By the way, Arnold, I could never be mad at you for anything, or like or like Stephen King or or you know somebody like that. An author writing these, you know, fantastic stories, you can't be mad at them for doing it. Yeah. By the way, I've been, uh, I've been listening to a new Stephen King book lately. I don't want to like name it or whatever, but I will say this that the lock he wrote this during the lockdown, and it you can tell, you can tell really wow. Yeah, there's a lot of a lot of properanda going on in that book. Let's just say, not not my favorite one. Not my favorite. I like when the author stays outside of the story that's happening, you know, and presents it kind of like flat and fair, like for

6:16 example, the content creator I'm talking about. And I'll like literally say, though, part of me goes, man, what a great fucking business model right like this this is genius. So I can't be angry. I'm like I want to be, but I can't be. So let me ask you something about the chat GTP thing. Yeah, if you type in chat GTP and you tell it like what you wanted to type. Does it go public? Is there a public record of all of these chat GTPs that have been done? I have no idea, I mean, or is it like just an individual that you get at that moment. I think you get an individual like file or whatever they call it. I don't know. Yeah, one I showed you, I made two and I saved them. And that's the only times I've ever really used it, so I could experiment more with it.

7:06 But right well, what it makes me what I'm wondering is is like, could you pull a transcript from the six show Wow, use the metadata, do to a reverse search and see if you can find an origin. I don't know because if you could do that, which I'm sure somebody can, there's somebody out there smart enough to be able to pull this up, because there's no way this stuff is that secure. It's just not you know what I mean, Like, there's no way somebody was like you know, what we need to do is we need to make chat GDP accounts more secure than Facebook to where when you type in what you wanted to say, only you sees it. It's not going to be encrypted. It's going to be out there. So if you took a transcript at a reverse search, you might be able to bust somebody. I was going to say that that is a possibility to like to make it more private. Uh. The reason why I've been quiet. I have something here I wanted to show you guys.

8:09 Give me, give me one second. I'm just finishing it up. Uh, but I love I said, Look how excited he is. I love it. Let's be juicy. Mm hmmm, Tyler, you're juicy. That's right. He's practically glowing, he is. I'm excited. Yeah, Okay, I'm gonna put some photos in the thing. Okay, the way that you guys were talking about these, I I okay. I feel like everybody will know this. I have mid journey. I use that for our thumbnails, just to give us a little bit more. We never I never said any of these photos that we've ever used are real. But these are not the greatest. But I'm not the greatest at word prompts. I typed in real bigfoot in the middle of the forest, hiding behind a tree. These are AI generated things. Uh. There there is nostrils on that one on the bottom left. Look at this man Jesus or at one on the left

9:41 of the bottom looks like he's wisdom behind that tree. Yeah yeah, but uh, with mid Journey, you're allowed to if you spend the extra money, you can put your your account private where none of your stuff will ever see the light of day. You will not no one can look it up. No one because they have a community where you could it just throws it up on their thing, like, oh, this is today's stuff people's has has generated in people's Like if you get down to the very minute detail on these prompts, there's a chance that you can make some crazy shit and real looking stuff like it's crazy. So that's thinking that when I looked at those was look how fucking realistic they're getting. I mean, obviously we're looking at them, we know that, we know that they're generated. But okay, so like, now take go to the next set of pictures. All right, So if you take that set of pictures and either one of those top two and you did a little blurring little motion, yeah, you could absolutely pass that office is something realer than what it is. I will I will

11:15 do that. I'll do that for you. Yes, give me one second. I will bring up. I like this, you know, we get Tyler and Tyler in action here seeing this photoshop at work now. And something else to put out there is that Tyler is not a professionally trained artist when it comes to this sort of stuff. He had. You have no no professional training on photoshop or any sort of photography schooling or anything, correct, Tyler? Hell yeah, like no, none of that. I really feel like my photosop skills would I think Kat would throw up, right. So so you take somebody that has zero zero professional training in this and see the quality that he's coming up with and think about what it would be like if he had professional training or somebody with professional training was doing this easier would it be to hide all this? Oh? Yeah, because there's parts of them where even you know, like Cat, she's my wife, she's a you know, she's a professional photographer. She has you know, decades of experience, and it's literally like she can look at these AI pictures and she'll be like, oh yeah, it's the rule of thirds. That's really cool, you know, that's I like the way that's done, and it's hm, you know, like for her, it's it's very uh you know, like it's it's definitely following those rules or whatever. You know what, I don't

12:46 even know what they're called. Like, you know, I'm just a fucking light. I'm a light guy. That's all weddings. I hold lights. So I wonder if you could take and make it to where it focuses on the tree in the foreground and makes the background blurb this on because that's something a camera would actually do, like in the heat of the moment, you could explain it away, like, man, I really thought I had this. Yeah, yeah, because you can spot them out too when the uh, it doesn't have to be perfect for the sake of example. Uh. You know, like if if you got a blurred you know, part of the image close to you, and a blurred part of the image far away, then you know that something's been done to it. Right. Yeah, I am impressed with this person that's photographing Bigfoot in the wilderness with Sepia tones.

13:54 He's breaking out the old fashioned film. Yeah, he's like standing there with the box. He pulls a little piece of fabric off of it. Yeah, I have to wait here for a minute. I could it would have been better, like, because I see where you're coming from on this. If I would have done it right here, if you guys can see my cursory. If I would have done this tree too, it would have probably would have been it would give the the blur a little bit more like, it would have made it a lot better. But yeah, I get a blur that's like too much. Yeah, I think you would have to sharpen the tree to reverse that, wouldn't you. Yeah, let me go to the one for telling me about Gibson thing. Oh yeah, I'm not gonna tell any one what you've done to my crops. You're not going to get famous. That's perfect, that's perfect. I mean that looks like every picture there you go that, Yeah, that's every picture I've overseen. Now see that just I mean that right there gets rid of all the details that

15:26 would define it as a faker, you know, not right? Yeah, and now that's just too much detail? Right, Okay, So like what if we did this with your with your software the original software used, and you if he was hiding behind a tree in the distance, and I pushed that thing even further back, that's exactly what I did. Like this is okay, this is the prompts I've used real bigfoot in woods hiding behind tree in the distance, com a blurry photo. Yeah, or you could do far away, far away. There is video AI programs now too. I thought they were coming out with that, but they're not, as I guess, not as clean as like what we're getting with the like still photos.

16:21 Yeah, I'm just saying that. Uh, look at how the photos have changed in just the last couple of months. Yeah, they're getting better and better and better, right, like this only started with in the last year or two. I mean it's getting ridiculous. I mean, look at our website, you know, the tucky x files, you know dot com, ky xbox dot com. If you look at if you go to that website and look at some of the AI pictures that Tyler did back then versus what he's able to do now, there's a big difference. Just that. What's the let's have a looxie. Let's let's take a looxie at the old, uh, the old beautiful website. Look at that, Oh man, look at that. You can sign up to get get updates from us. We'll never We're never gonna bother you with that. We don't update anybody, who are we kidding? Well? Yeah, where's that there was episodes. Yeah, and you can go to the the you know, like that, look at that. I remember when he was working on this man. Well I can't say I was. He was. He was doing everything and I was just placing stuff. But yeah, I mean it's incredible. And the one

17:51 thing that gets me is that when you when you go to the feed and look if you go far enough, yeah, I mean that's not no Gibson. That's just a guy. Yeah, it's just eating a corn cob like a hot dog. Yeah. I love it. Yeah, Hey, go back to the old ones. Was the Ai here or is this is this before? Okay? That that's before? Okay, I wonder when exactly that that started? It was the the da Vinci what was it? The Benji Man or whatever? Uh sasquatch? I do like, sorry, Tyler, I was gonna say, I do like the rawness of the old thumbnails.

18:48 Yeah, like, I really do appreciate your original stuff. You were doing like that right there, The Antler Horse one, the Rise of the Antler Horse, And that's fantastic. That was the first one. And that's that's sick of ship. That's so cool. I always what I always wanted, and I know I know you guys have heard it many times. Was I always loved that it's easy to figure out which season is which just by the color. You know that that that whole season will have a you know, a color. You don't have to give anything away, Tyler, But do you have us a color that you're you're leaning towards for season four? I have a color, but I wanted to throw it by you. I think I threw it by you one time, but I I didn't know if I wanted to. I didn't know I wanted to do it for season four.

19:44 But I do have a color of mind. I like it. I like you keep your secrets. Yeah, I like it. I can't wait that I kind of actually like, I don't know to Josh Fields, but I kind of like the idea of it, Like I don't really know what it's going to be, so Okay, here's the thing that I enjoy is you know this happens, you know in a life a lot when you're used to something and then you see that same thing you're used to in a different color than it normally is. Yes, that's fun as hell. Like there was a picture floating around there for a while where somebody did a reverse color change on a Coca Cola can and it was like this pastel blue color, yeah right, and I loved it. It was like, it was so stupid, but I loved looking at that coke can, you know, because it was it was something familiar, but it was completely different. You know, when Tyler takes the logo, you know, the original green logo, I loved, you know, Yeah, it was one of my favorites. And then when we got this this this ombre red flame thing going on on this orange color, you know, that was like so cool. So I can't wait to see what the logo looks like in the next color. Yeah, me too. I'm excited. I hope we never run out of colors, you know, yeah, or something if something big happens, you know, like something something whatever in the future happens, like very very dramatic that we're focused on for a while, you know, like what what color is that

21:15 going to be? I like that. I like the feel of that. You know. I realize now that I waited way too long to mention scheduling problems for the next couple of weeks, So I'll throw it in real quick. Here. There's some real life stuff going on, and I might not be able to do the show for a couple of weeks. We're gonna do the best we can, but no promises. So if you get some shaky scheduling on the show for a little bit, just bear with us. We'll get everything back to normal no time, and I'll record something to stick on the front of this one just so it's uh, here is the original.

22:04 This was actually not done by me. This was done by a friend of Denny's when we first started, okay, and then I redid it like halfway through. Yeah, I like that one a lot. I remember that one. Yeah, this was around the time that Josh actually joined. Yeah, then there was wasn't there another one? Okay? So season two is my favorite's Yeah, the blue one? Oh wait? No, okay, so what's there's another green one? Because it was on the background when Denny had COVID, I did a short reel. Yeah, I have that somewhere, gue me. I might have that one myself. Yeah you should if you had the Yeah, but I can't remember if I just pulled it up or what I did. Oh okay, I get what you're saying. Yeah, so season two it's not that one. Oh yep, here it is.

23:08 Do you have it already? Yeah? I think I do. I don't think it's as bright as the one. Yeah, yeah, that's the one I had in the background. It's still this logo, but I put the background in. Yeah. Just it pops so good over the top of the trees that head in the background of the real I did. And everybody knows that this is the newest Newish logo for the show, because we're currently doing the show over that with it in the corner as well. We're like, it's like, yeah, this is inception kyx Files because the logos in the corner, the logos in the background, and then it's in the foreground. I love it, and I absolutely love Danny's tagline. I just now noticed it. What is it? Tyler's juicy? I waited like the whole thing to before I come up with one, and then I was like, you know what, I'm just gonna figure it out. So what is the actual game plan for this little pause we might have to take? Uh? I don't know. I think my thought is kind of like, hey, we'll do our best, but if we can't just expect a little hiatus, you know, that's that's the best I can do, because it's gonna be up in the air for me personally for at least a couple of weeks. And we're not talking months, you know. Yeah, we're talking like maybe four episodes tops. Yeah. Yeah, So I think that would be the absolute most absolute worst case scenario. Yeah yeah, so you know that's that's coming

24:45 in the future. But it's for good reason. There's good things happening. So it's a very very big, big thing for me. Speaking of that, Uh, there's there's a whole story behind it. I never really it up too much on the show. I try not to at least, but the stuff that my my family has personally went through over the past three years is a hell of a story, and me and my wife are going to tell it on a little small, limited platform thing, I guess at some point. So whenever we get it all together, I'll put it out there and tell everybody about it to check it out, because if you're going through a hard time in life, hopefully we can help you at least help you keep keep fighting, you know, keep going right, because we're at the we're at the finish line right now, and we're really really happy, really excited, yeah. Well, I wouldn't call it the finish line. But like you've been, you've been in a staging lane. You're headed to the starting line. That's true. Yeah, you're right, this is like, yeah, this is the beginning. This isn't this isn't the finish Yeah, at least this chapter. I'll say this, this chapter will be over, which I'm really happy for. Yeah. But uh, to be honest, though, I I I really have to say this to you two guys actually, uh, to get through all this, uh, there's no there's no

26:15 small way to put it that you two, as you know, my closest friends. I will say that I don't know how to how to actually word it properly. To be able to get through this with friends like these at your back, it helps, you know. So if you guys out there, if you have your own Tyler and Josh and Dave, I won't forget Dave. If you have your your your own good, good brothers. I appreciate them, you know, because you can lean on them, you know, even if you're like me and don't like to lean. Sometimes it happens. And these guys have never ever not had my back. So thank you for that. Fellas. Yeah, no problem, man. Now, usually have something I would say after I say something like that, something deep.

27:10 But if I say it, then uh, our show will get canceled. Yeah, but I want to believe that you guys can hear it. I was anticipating it. I was like, guys, to well, it hurts, it hurts so bad, oh god. But yeah, the whole thing, the whole thing be told soon, and uh it'll be fun. I get my wife involved and you'll be able to hear how crazy me and her are together. And uh, I'm actually excited because I really think it's if you guys do just I know, I've told you guys. I've told you guys a lot of it. You guys have been there, so you guys know a lot of it. But there's just things that have happened where we were just me and my wife would be like, oh my god, you know, like, oh my, oh, oh Jesus, could this get any worse? And then it does and then you're like, I guess that answers my question. So it absolutely can't. Yes, yeah, you know, but it's it's pretty cool. Being at this point is pretty fucking awesome.

28:23 I can't I can't seem to get the grin off my face lately, which is really cool. Yeah, and just uh seeing how happy my wife is is making it even better. Yeah. So I can tell when she's thinking about this topic that I'm talking about because she walks past over there, she's just got this huge grint on her face, so I know she's thinking about it too. It's pretty cool. Yeah, I don't. I don't really have anything else. Boys, I don't. I don't have nothing else to throw at these folks. I have one thing that I wanted to bring up, but I think it's too close to the end and that I wanted the oh dissect, but maybe maybe for a later thing. Is it the thing you talked about before we started recording? Yeah, yeah, I'd hold off. That deserves its own episode. Yeah, yeah, I had to.

29:19 I had two things, okay, because the one thing you talked about, I'm I'm well versed in that. So I feel like I can, I want I can be a part of that, like I'm in. Yeah, I'm so excited for it. Right. I really feel like our listeners hate us because we do this, like we forget about something that we want to talk about, or I think of something as we were, we start recording and and I'm like, I want to do a little bit more research on this one, so I'm going to leave it further. And they were like, son of a bitch, like, get your ship together, guys. Yeah, eventually eventually, you know. I mean, that's has some of the charm of the show though. Yeah, just hanging out with the boys. You know, you're you're here with the boys. The boys were the Boys's and we're your boys from Joysey from How'd your Mom do it?

30:17 How'd your grandma say? How do your mom? From me? Okay, just like that, we're Mark Wahlberg just like that. That's that. That's how fast we lose the thread. Have you ever ate a Wallburger? Not yet? No good? Are they good? I mean it's not bad really, just yeah, it's not bad. Honestly. I had one by accident one time, and I totally forgot that I had it by accident. And this conversation actually just happened with me and the guy at work. So we were working on a Saturday, and it was like nine o'clock in the morning and I was like, we gotta figure out what we're doing for lunch, right, and him and I both like they like, we like corn beef sandwiches. We like Ruben's. Right. I was like, we're like a block away from izzy And if you don't know what Izzies is, it's a Jewish Ruben restaurant. And our dumbasses walked all the way there without the forethought that it's Saturday. Oh no, right they arrest, right, they don't.

31:17 Ruben unshot us, damn it, so sh shove us. So about a half a block down a street from Izzi's is Wallburgers, And I was like, this is our choice, man, Like, it's it's Saturday, downtown and we're this far up downtown. We don't have much options for lunch. So we went Wallburgers on accident. And it's not bad. It's not like a five guys or something, you know, all right, I've never had it. It's a little it's a little of a price for a burger in my taste. But yeah, it's not a bad burger for the price, you know. Huh. It's pretty interesting. Yeah, speaking of lunch, I think I'm gonna take my ass to get some lunch right now.

32:00 Yeah, holy shit, I'm fucking dying. Yeah, I'm pretty hungry. Myself. Oh my god, as soon as you start talking about burgers, I'm like, oh right, oh burgers, what weird? Yeah? Why do people listen to us? I don't know. You guys out there, go get your burger. Yeah, get your big get your big nasty burger. Oh, get your burger that you can unwrap it and you can take the paint off the wall with that thing. There's so much grease. Yeah, yeah, was it? Was it the Simpsons that did that, where there like they hold the burger up and they wipe it on a piece of paper and the paper goes transparent. That's how you know it's good. Yeah.

32:44 Yeah, that's how the old Wendy's burgers used to be. Remember that. Yeah, you remember when you get a you get like a fucking double or a triple were absurd. You had to get keep the wrapper around it, yeah, because the hot grease would scald you. So can we talk about the Wendy's triple and why it should not exist? I mean, I'm kind of like half in on this, like, but I'm interested. That is insane amount of beef on a burger. And then they came out with that same burger as a baconator. Yeah, yeah, good one that ship. I remember a time when I could eat a whole triple just like nothing. Yep. I had two doubles one time. Lord, that's that's impressive.

33:31 You wonder why I'm fat. I can't. I can't figure it out. Yeah right, yeah, I can't talk about burgers anymore. We could do a whole episode on the restaurants and the menus that used to be should be back. Yeah, like the fact that Ourby's got rid of the chicken cord on blue. They got rid of the fucking uh big Big Montana yep, and then the Burger King got rid of the sired O bacon cheeseburger.

34:12 Silence, moment of silence. The Big Montana. Yeah, it was like a fucking club that you belong to. It's like it wasn't on the menu. It wasn't it wasn't spoken. You get up to the fucking drive too, and you're like check and see who's behind you. I want a Big Montana. And then they're like what, yeah, big Big Montana. Just want works the parish word, New England clam chowder, the word or the wart. I can't remember that you say the wrong one. They're like, leave the drive south. Sure you get it right. It's have been called pull forward. And when you remember, do you remember this when you got the Big Montana it was in a salad container. Yeah, it was that big. It wasn't the Big Montana. The it was a roast beef sandwich with a brisket sandwich on top of it. It was, well, don't chicken. The ones I always got was it was literally there was too much roast beef. It didn't fit like it was amazing. You're just like you're eating it. There's just roast. There's enough roast beef falling off of it to make another fucking sandwich. But I thought there was I thought the Big

35:44 Montana had two types of meat on it. Are you thinking? Are you talking about the land air and see? Maybe? Or it was that it was beef, chicken and fish. No, technically that is okay. I used to work in an Arby's and around that time, you're now, we're not allowed to do that. You're not allowed to mix two different types. Why is it like a it's like a health thing. I guess they said, like, uh, two different types of meat. Huh? Did you ever notice that there's no real like pork fast foods. Yeah, yeah, you gotta go to a regular restaurant to get any kind of pork. Yeah, why what do you think? What's it called? Like, trip to trip to blah blah blah blah ices. Yeah, trip to coss tryptosis.

36:44 I knew it was on there somewhere, like under undercooked. Oh fuck you right up? Worms? Oh god, yeah, what about chicken chicken head? Like salmonella? Isn't that? Is that not as bad as that salmonella like used to be real bad here. Now it's just one of our condiments. Yeah, well not only that, Like you just vomit profusely for like twenty minutes and you're good. But trip to coach hangs on. Oh yeah, you get to enjoy that for a couple of days. Yeah, you're right. It comes with free pets. Yeah yeah, yeah, you get to enjoy it for a couple of days with medication. Without medication, that's a lifetime event. Speaking of that, stay away from the pork and go get you a burger, and we love you you especially you know, you know who we're talking about. Take care of each other out there. I didn't hear the kiss. There was no kisses. Yeah, dangd I thought we were doing this earlier, and I muted myself because I was hitting my babe and I was like, okay. The last episode, we limited the recording
