    The Monks Aren't A.I.

    On today's episode, the Monks chat about the affects of A.I. and what it brings to everyday life, which is not much in their opinion. Josh & Heather talk about how much easier it is for scammers using AI to create deepfakes and trick the elderly and dumb dumbs. They also rant about how it hasn't been incorporated into daily life to actually help or take the burden off of us, but instead locks us in parking garages and creates more barriers in society. They both agree that it's the human component and all the code depends on the originator. Sorry, they have no ideas on how to help though.   Check out Ctl Alt Extinct, the short film the Monks made about A.I. years ago. https://youtu.be/E_zgG1eCqT0?si=1C_KrWhmlA0lnHyZ Watch today's episode of The Monks Official Podcast YouTube channel or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

    The Monks Go Wilder For Brooks

    On today's episode, the Monks chat about the Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks documentaries. Josh & Heather are big time comedy nerds and have been their entire lives, so it's no surprise they love Mel Brooks & Gene Wilder movies. The creative lifestyle and nonstop laughter is so inspiring. Heather's favorite tidbit is that Mel Brooks bought 200 handkerchiefs to stuff in the mouths of the crew so they would stop ruining takes of Young Frankenstein with their uncontrollable laughter. Mel Brooks, Sid Caesar, Carl Reiner, Gene Wilder were a loyal close knit group of friends and took care of each other for their entire lives. Genius, legend, hilarious, inspirational, fearless, thoughtful, EGOT, what more can you say? Watch Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man! on HBO Max and Remembering Gene Wilder on Netflix.  Watch today's episode of The Monks Official Podcast YouTube channel or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

    The Monks Are Small Town

    On today's episode, the Monks chat about hot take dating and their own deal breakers. Both Josh & Heather are set in their ways and think if they had to date at this age it might be a disaster. Heather has recently come to the realization she grew up in a small town. She always considered herself from a city since she was close enough to drive in to Orlando but where she grew up is lightyears away from city living. Warning the Monks do chat about a few gun stories, since they were so prevalent in their communities. Don't worry they keep the near death stories light hearted. Spoiler, they're both still alive.  Watch today's episode of The Monks Official Podcast YouTube channel or listen wherever you get your podcasts. Subscribe & share!

    The Monks Walk For Peace

That conversation leads into another about the movie Good Fortune (rent on Amazon or Apple) and how the Monks thought this movie portrays the modern gig economy worker and the wealthy leisure lifestyle. They end the podcast with their experience watching Sarah Squirm Live & In The Flesh (HBO Max).

    The Monks Celebrate The Holidays

    On today's episode, the Monks chat about their childhood holiday traditions of bashing a piñata and dining with an Elvis pizza chef and what they do with their empty popcorn tins. The Monks also experienced their first Santacon and the most un-Christmas play imaginable. Do spooky Halloween elves, a screaming ballerina and spitting bananas at each other sound like a festive holiday to you?  Better than a DoleWhip Ninja Creami receipt:  2/3 pint Greek God Honey Vanilla yogurt, 1/3 pint (1/2 can) canned Dole crushed pineapple & juice. Freeze 24 hours, spin once on light ice cream.
