Yeah, live 105 live one. That’s a perfect segue to. I just came back from San Francisco. So on vacation and live 105 was the radio station I used to listen to out there. That was like the alternative that yeah, that was the rock station rocks where you’d hear new bands. It was like, Oh, my God, Stone Temple Pilots who were those guys? And so I popped it on the rental car. And still it’s still a thing. And it’s like, but now it’s like, format, same format, but it’s like classic rock Time Machine, like our 99x that came back here like, oh, it’s Nirvana, Bush, butthole, surfers and Bush and like, the whole thing, you know, and so we’re out there for whatever, you know, week or so. And my kids are like, Dad, did we already hear the song like three times? And I’m like, yeah, yeah, I’m singing to Counting Crows right now is what’s happening? Yeah, yeah, it’s pretty funny. So live 105 Yeah, it was good times. I’ve 105 Yeah. And then we used to have 98 Five. That was the other thing to me. I believe. I can’t remember What the call sign for like 105 was What their 96 rock? Yeah. 96 rock and I’m gonna annex right. I mean, in the 90s. That was an altered Yeah, that was Yeah. I like a little Barnes, Leslie. And Jimmy. It’s Atlanta specific, you know, so. Alright, so 105 What are we talking about? Yeah. I
Rob Broadfoot 1:38
thought we would take a little vacation from some of our usual topics and talk about your vacation. Okay. All right. And just talk about? I don’t know, let’s see where it takes us. Sure. Your Travel escapade. Okay, that was like we’ll start there. You took tell us who you went with. Give us the setup. Okay.
Don Mock 1:58
So I took so my middle daughter has not been out to San Francisco yet. And you’re from San Francisco. And I’m from your mind. Yeah. Yeah. And I grew up out in San Francisco, and then down the peninsula in Palo Alto and stuff, where I went to high school. And so everybody else in my family has been out there, but my middle had not been out there yet. So it was like, hey, Alright, Dad’s taking you out to San Francisco to visit my dad. We’re going to go to a Niner game, you know, see the old stomping grounds and then do like, be a tourist, you know, like, it’s called the new bridge. And like Fisherman’s Wharf, yeah, fisherman’s run. There are some. There’s some sea lions couldn’t convince either one of them. Not only that my son does not have his Halloween costume figured out yet. Right. And I’m like, All right, dude. Done. We are gonna get the orange. Yeah. Alcatraz prisoner property of Alcatraz inmate number 117. Whatever. Yeah. And he’s like, nah. And I’m like, that would have been a good one like that. Just be a prisoner. Like that’s a fantastic Yeah, Halloween, you know What I mean? Like you’re you’re you’re a criminal on the run, you know, so no, could not convince anybody to go to Alcatraz. Even though the a couple days. They’re unbelievable whether or not a cloud in the sky and like Indian Summer, like burning hot, like sweltering. Oh my lord. Like I needed to run to the store and buy shorts. Like, you know, normally it’s like a jeans and sort of windbreaker kind of city. You know What I mean? The fog comes in. It’s chilly overcast. Yeah. Especially in the fall. Yeah. So it was it was it was pretty warm. So So yeah, so the point of the mission was to see my dad and then go out and be touristy. And yeah, on the grounds, and I saw some friends and things like that as well. Right. But yeah, the the vacation did start with, I guess, as my wife sent me an article from the AJC like the worst travel day in the history of Hartsfield ever, you know, and you’re laughing because, you know, I am a, I don’t want to say a nervous traveler. But I do like to get there early. And I like to not be stressed, right? Like, I don’t want to like, I don’t want to be panicking. Am I going to miss my flight? Right? Well, prone
Rob Broadfoot 3:57
to slight anxiety around travel. Let’s call it that. Hey,
Don Mock 4:01
let’s call it that older I get the more I think everybody is to, to very you just kidding. Never know it’s wildcard man is not like What it used to be, you know? And it’s it’s some days, it’s a breeze and some days, it’s a nightmare. And I guess I went on the worst travel day in like, 25 years. And yeah, we stood in the TSA line. Solid Murphy’s Law. Two and a half hours. It was Berea well,
Rob Broadfoot 4:23
and you and I talked about
Don Mock 4:25
you even I even asked, you asked me, When would you leave? I said, Hey, your flight, is it 815? When would you leave? Right? You know, how do you how do you do this? You know, and so I took your number and then added another half hour, you know, and we made it by the by the hair of my chinny chin chin, barely we were in the last 10 People getting on the plane. Yeah, all rows. Every single person around me in the TSA line missed their flight. I mean, it was like, people are writing, but now it was a Friday morning. You know What I mean? That is a tough, you know What I mean? Like it’s a Friday morning, I guess before a holiday for a holiday weekend, we’ve got in trying
Rob Broadfoot 5:02
to get home people trying to get out of town. You got a perfect storm.
Don Mock 5:05
Yeah, there’s a little, you know, but man, I mean, you get there three hours early and you still barely make domestic flight and like, you know, so yeah, I got on the plane and texted my wife and was like, I I’ve been traumatized right.
Rob Broadfoot 5:19
Now, how are the kids? Are they? Are they?
Don Mock 5:24
Anxious? 12 to 13 year old standing in line for two and a half hours? Yeah, not ideal. It is. It’s not it’s not great.
Rob Broadfoot 5:31
But are they anxious about missing the flight? Are they just tired and bored?
Don Mock 5:35
And yeah, it’s more of the latter. It’s more that I’m the one who’s mopping the flop sweat off my head off my face. Like What are we going to do if we miss that? Like, oh, my god, like what’s about you know, so they they’re troopers. They’re absolute troopers. My son is anxious about flying in general, right. You know, my daughter’s like, Bring on the bumps makes it more interesting. And like, she’s like, arrived at Disneyworld. Yeah, she’s like, whatever. Anybody got any chewing gum, you know? So I will say she had not been on a flight that long. And so the pressure in the ears was a little enormous. So we had to I taught her the like the plug your pop your ears and all that kind of stuff. Right? So we get out there. And it’s great. I love San Francisco. It’s amazing. I don’t go out there enough. The time change is a total ass kicker. The older you get, and even the kids it’s like, oh, wow, you guys are up at three o’clock in the morning. Yeah, like there’s nothing to do with three o’clock in the morning for anyone in any city ever, you know? So it’s like, All right, back to bed. Everybody, you know, like your iPad? Yeah. So I will say this to tie this into advertising because that is What we talk about. I you know, I’m not the guy that goes on vacation, take pictures of billboards everywhere I go. But I do take a couple of billboards for sure. From time to time just have interesting things. And it is a theme we were literally just talking about. And it is a theme we have done on this podcast before. But we are talking San Francisco Silicon Valley, the home of Apple, the home of apps, the home of development, software, smarty pants, people, you know, coders, the lights, every other billboard AI?
Rob Broadfoot 7:08
Was it really
Don Mock 7:09
everything is Yeah, you get off the plane, every damn ad, like in the airport terminal is let AI power your business. And it’s whatever business it’s sell more schwag with AI powered e commerce platform XYZ, it is improved customer service with our AI chatbots. You know, it is let AI it is. Take it take any company. And literally the headline is let AI power your blank. Yeah. And it was like, I don’t want to say disheartening, you know, but it’s like, oh, man, we’ve kind of gone from AI as like, wow, this is cool. Look at this. This is awesome to like, oh, like, I don’t know, I don’t know if we have a big backlash to AI. But we are now I guess more aware than ever that like, Wait a minute. So we’ve been stealing all of the greatest, you know, like, we fed we fed computers, like all the novels in the world. And now they’re writing their own novels. And we’re like, is that a good idea? And all the artists on the planet are like wait a minute. Now you just type and I want a Picasso painting like that. And we’re like, this is really a good idea. You know, we’re starting at that maybe tipping point of like, huh, Terminator two didn’t seem that long ago. And maybe AI isn’t necessarily the greatest thing. Yeah, but I will say San Francisco Bay area, from an advertising perspective. It is just Yeah, buy a Tesla, because every third car out there. It’s on real. It’s like, oh, there’s a blue text blue Tesla behind the blue Tesla next to a blue Tesla and traffic. Yeah, I mean, it’s every third now, gas prices are like seven bucks a gallon. Yeah. It’s ridiculous. But I was really, really shocked from an advertising perspective all about the AI. And I was like, Okay, this little bubble of the world doesn’t seem to be leaning out of AI. They’re all
Rob Broadfoot 7:09
Oh, I don’t think anyone’s leaving out of AI right now. I mean, you’ve got people that are like, whoa, and we were talking just before the podcast. There was an interview, I think it was a week ago and 60 minutes. Really interesting. And it was about kind of, and it was the sort of godfather of AI the guy, the guy is credited for sort of developing it. And it was it was a blanket warning, really, to society like, hey, you know, the robots are going to be smarter than us very soon we are going to be the second most intelligent species on the planet. Yeah. And like, it’s, it’s going to happen. What’s really, really scary.
Don Mock 9:29
You know, we’ve joked about this in the past, like we are in a certain section of our segment of our business is definitely the power of persuasion. I mean, that’s What advertising it says, Hey, I’m introducing something new and you don’t know that you need this. And let me convince you of the ways of why you need this. Or how this can enrich your life or make your life better or easier. Whatever the case may be. That’s What advertising is the power of persuasion, right? And, yeah, we’re gonna have robots pretty much persuading us now convincing us that we are making a decision on our own And when in fact we’re probably not, you know, it’s like magic. It’s like, oh, here, you know, you fan out the deck, and you think you’re picking the card that you want. But the magician is pushing you towards that decision. Right? Which is What I mean, spoiler alert for how magic works. But, you know, that’s that’s a lot of how magic works as you think you’re making the decision, but you’re not, you know, it’s kind of you’re being led to that. Right. Yeah. So advertising was yeah, really, really fascinating. That everything was aI related. I couldn’t believe it. And not only that, but I said, Hey, power your business with AI. There are also apps and pieces of software out there that they’re advertising all over the place on, hey, we’ve developed the AI to determine if it’s AI or not, so meta? Yeah. So there’s a there’s a company out there hive, and it was the billboard is to picture as a picture of two dogs. Yeah. And it’s, Hey, our app can tell you if that picture was real or not, if that’s an authentic picture, or if that’s an AI generated image, right? And it’s like, Whoa, now,
Rob Broadfoot 11:01
do we believe the AI will hold on us?
Don Mock 11:03
That’s gonna say like, that. I
Rob Broadfoot 11:05
know. Well, the
Don Mock 11:06
irony is, well, that’s AI. Right? I mean, so. So it was it was, you know, it’s funny, the, the Bay Area is kind of like, hey, F New York F the East Coast, like let’s so doing their own thing, and living their best life, and we’re walking up in the mountains and the hills and you know, breathing clean California Air and eating vegetables, you know, like, I mean, it’s a beautiful part of the world, you know, but it’s really, really funny how sometimes it’s very disassociated. I think, this is my editorial comments, maybe on what’s happening with with the rest of everything if that’s right. But I do think, you know, hey, electric cars are good. I mean, it’s good to cut down carbon emissions. I mean, that’s a good thing. You know,
Rob Broadfoot 11:46
it’s a good thing. Yeah,
Don Mock 11:47
a lot. A lot of that out there. Kirby said he saw a cyber truck. Oh, really? I didn’t see it. I was busy driving. So he’s like to ask for driver. And I was like, take a picture. window now? I don’t think so. But I think they’re, they’re starting to roll out and there’s a big Tesla headquarters or something going on out on page Mill Road. So yeah, I thought that was kind of interesting. So, but yeah, there’s no
Rob Broadfoot 12:11
way there’s no AI? Where
Don Mock 12:13
Muir Woods. Yes. Did you go? Of course have to Yeah. Yeah. So Saturday morning, we got up. We’re on East Coast time. So we got up super early. We’re banging on the Starbucks window open. Look, give me my coffee. Give me my muffins. Right. And then yeah, we did a day of drove across the Bay Bridge, drove across the Golden Gate Bridge, did isolate him and did a bunch of pictures. You know, drove by Sausalito didn’t go in should have because we have a friend that lives in Sausalito. It’s beautiful. Yeah. And but I’m also like, with a 12 and a 13 year old you don’t I mean, it’s like it’s not there. A lot of the stuff is like even when you were like we went to Japan town or you go to different places. It’s like, oh, well, it’s all eateries and like, little boutiques and bars and boutiques and cool things like that. It’s not a 12 it’s not a 13 year old. It’s kind of
Rob Broadfoot 12:56
now Tam’s, you go up Mount mount Tam, and yeah, we did. We had because
Don Mock 13:00
we did the Golden Gate Bridge, we went to Muir Woods, and we got the first we’re in the first ticket group of Muir Woods, eight o’clock in the morning, which was great. So super calm. You know, the sun is coming up through the redwoods. It’s amazing. Here’s my trick forever. I haven’t even showed you any pictures. But Here’s the trick. Okay. For those going in Muir Woods, we should annotate this podcast with it. Do panoramic photos, but do them sideways. Right. So normal, normally panoramic, you go left to right, and you follow the arrow, turn landscape, TURN IT landscape, and then go bottom up. And you can go all the way up and like the tree looks over your head and like behind you, you know, and man, you got some killer, killer foot because you can’t take a picture of redwood. I mean, those things are so tall, so believable, right. So Ben got a super duper kick out of that. It was awesome. I think at the end of the trip, she actually said that was her favorite spot of the whole thing
Rob Broadfoot 13:56
that’s funny is up at Mount Tam. I just remember the pine cones. You see if they’re big, they’re like the size of football. Yeah, they’re
Don Mock 14:02
huge. They’re huge.
Rob Broadfoot 14:04
It’s awesome. Yeah, it’s
Don Mock 14:05
it’s the flower. Yeah, she was freaking out about the leaves, like there were, you know, it’s because it’s fall, you know, leaves are falling. And you get leaves that are falling off the trees and Frisbees. Yeah. So she’s like, Why in
Rob Broadfoot 14:17
the world? It is, you know, the scale of it when you see it the first time. Yeah, everything else is pretty magnificent. Yeah,
Don Mock 14:23
the geography is fantastic. Yeah. Yeah. And it’s cool. You got the ocean and you got the mountains coming right out of the thing. And then we went up north. A little bit more north to Stinson Beach. I love Stinson Beach. It’s a fun little spot, fun little beach town and things like that. So and everybody’s living their best life. It’s like super warm and playing volleyball, beach volleyball. I can’t believe it. Was that warm? Yeah, it was crazy warm. It was crazy global. I’ve never been to San Francisco and been overdressed. We’re like oh my god, you’re always chilly. Yeah, you’re always like oh the fall the breeze coming off the what’s my 63 degrees here? You know that type of thing. Right? You go down the peninsula or you go up north like to Walnut Creek right Yeah, yeah, it’s like 90 degrees. You know, I mean, it’s hot. Yeah, you know, in the valley and things like that. Right. So yeah, did a lot of nature did a lot of the city did a lot. You know, Chinatown. Did a lot of the touristy stuff, you know, drove around, went to the Michigan
Rob Broadfoot 15:12
all the touristy stuff still the same. I mean, like does Fisherman’s Wharf ever really evolve at all?
Don Mock 15:17
No. I mean, the shops changed, but they’re still the same.
Rob Broadfoot 15:20
Yeah, just a different sign outside. Yeah. Yeah.
Don Mock 15:23
I mean, and it’s like, DNA to Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum at Fisherman’s Wharf? I don’t know. Yeah. And it’s like, oh, there’s an Applebee’s. Okay, that’s weird. Yeah, that’s never doesn’t feel authentic. So there’s a lot of like, that kind of stuff that sort of thinned out. You know What I mean? Let like the, or I should say, spread out, like, some of the quirky little places are still there, you know, but some of them have gone and been replaced by, you know, the Hall of Mirrors funhouse room, or, you know What I mean, like escape room. It’s like, Myrtle Beach. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. But that’s okay. I mean, it’s there, you know, and there’s the like, oh, yeah, we’re in we’re at Pier 39. And you got the barking sea lions everywhere. And then you got Oh, you’re like the juggling unicycle performer guy. Yeah. You know What I mean? Who’s working for like, 1011 or whatever, you know? So like, yeah, hey, we watch him do his thing. And he tells a bunch of corny jokes. And I’m like, Alright, kids here. Go give him some cash. And like What, you know, that type of thing, right? Get a high five from the guy. And hey, anybody want any fudge? Like, he wants some sweets? How about some sweets? Oh, look, there’s a sweet shop next to his sweet shop next to the fudge place. You know, it’s like, no one needs that. Yeah, that’s right. And the same cheesy lino, Alcatraz II sort of schwag everywhere. Yeah, everything in whatever the case, right. So but it’s, it’s Hey, you got to do it. It’s kind of right. Oh, I love it. I love it. And they’ve got they’ve got the battleship. They got all the other stuff. You know, there’s there’s a whole bunch of stuff there right now
Rob Broadfoot 16:51
was? Because Kirby has been out there before. Kirby has been out there before. Yeah. Now was he like? I’ve already seen I’ve already seen this little mister. No at all. There was there was. Wait till you see. Yeah, there
Don Mock 17:05
was a little bit of that. Not too much. Not too. Not too much. There. Yeah, just a little bit of Yeah. I’ve already seen this. You know What I mean? Like, Hey, dude, like, put your phone down, bro. Like, you know What I mean? Like, look up. I’ve already seen this. It’s like, well, yeah, but still, it’s, it’s cool. You know, you don’t get to see this every day, that type of thing. Right? So. So did that then went down the peninsula and saw my dad for a little bit, which is great. Now a couple days with my dad. How’s Palo Alto? I don’t know. Do you want the real answer or the Podcast Answer? The real answer is it totally sucks. Oh, it totally sucks. Here’s why. Here’s why I have that opinion. It’s just not the quirky cool town that that I grew up in, in the 80s. The, it was a small little suburb that was a nothing burger. That was a great place to grow up. And it was quirky and weird, in its own way because it’s kind of tied at the hip of Stanford University. Right? Like Berkeley is to cow. You know, Stanford is to our Palo Alto is to Stanford University. Right. Okay. So it was you know, you still had a bunch of hippies and and quirky professors. Yeah. And you had cool shops and quirky, weird little independent, you know, and so now, you know, everything, there’s just so much money and so much is that, you know, the, the fondness of it is just kind of gone. I think, you know, it’s just, it’s almost too much, you know? Yeah. So it’s, it sucks in, in that respect, in terms of like, we were, we did a podcast earlier about your Italian vacation. And it was like, Oh, my God, Here’s the stuff that 1000s of years old. Right? And the history of being the here and that, you know, I mean, the history of California, you don’t even let like everything, you just tear everything down and build something new. Yeah, you don’t I mean, there’s no like, oh, this has been here. You know, the history of California, I guess maybe kind of starts and then I mean, you have the gold rush, obviously. And the 40 Niners and that whole thing, right, but oh, you had the great earthquake 1906 and burn the city down and we rebuilt it. And now it’s just you kind of just tear things down and rebuild things, right. There’s no building on legacy, things like that out there. You know, the history is really more in the nature and that type of thing. Yeah. Versus like, oh, wow, there’s an Ikea here now. Okay, like, Well, okay. Wow. You know, like, so there’s a little bit of like, Oh, hey, kids. Here’s where grandpa Ted had his studio for 45 years. And now it’s an optometrists place. Got right, you know, they like they’re like, Okay, yeah, great. Cool right now. Yeah. It was interesting. Having my daughter though, it’s just sort of repeatedly say, I can’t believe you grew out here. I grew up out here. It’s It’s so weird. It’s weird to think of you living somewhere else, you know, but that’s through the prism of a 13 year old.
Rob Broadfoot 17:43
It’s always weird when you go back to where you grew up, and the nostalgia has faded. Because of the change and yeah, everything should scape and know the area, it’s not all of a sudden you’re like, oh, yeah, where’s the old shop? And where’s your thing? And where’s the old? Well,
Don Mock 20:05
everywhere you go, it’s I used to be this, but it’s not that anymore. Yeah, I mean, fill in the blank of whatever you know. Now there are a few trusty Dusties that are still there. I mean, there’s still some great traditional restaurants, there’s still some fun places to go and things like that. So I shouldn’t be super negative on whatever, you know, but, but I also like, Hey, I grew up there. And then I came here and I built my life here, you know, so Atlanta is my home. I mean, I love Atlanta, I’m probably never leaving, you know, I do miss a little bit of this, that and whatever out there. But hey, man, everything I love and all the good stuff is out here, you know, for, for me, at least, you know, so but it is a beautiful part of the world. It is an interesting place to go from an emerging tech perspective and design and advertising and sort of what’s going on in the world. I mean, I guess the The final thing to sort of talk about in terms of like the insanity of technology is, you can’t go You can’t go five minutes. And that might even be too long without seeing an autonomous self driving car. Oh, really? I mean, there are self driving cars everywhere, everywhere. And it’ll see that here at all. You never see that here. No. So I mean, it’s way mo w a y Mo is one of the big companies out there free wheel, there’s all there’s a whole bunch of them right. And it’s it’s a crazy looking sedan hatchback car with like, spinning siren things on it. I mean, like, like, not like making noise, whether like spinning things or sensors on all four corners and, like doing its thing. And every once in a while you’ll see someone in the backseat, right? And those are people that signed up for pilot programs for it to basically be an Uber for to drive you places, right.
Rob Broadfoot 21:45
I don’t know that I want to be in the pilot program for the self driving car. Yeah. So
Don Mock 21:48
uh, you know, and I’m telling you, man, I mean, I’m driving like one unique thing about San Francisco. I think for people that grew up there are natives or people that are visiting there is I guess you could say it’s intimidating to drive in there. But like, I feel very comfortable driving around the city of San Francisco. You know, and especially when you got Google Maps and you got Reynold it’s a non issue. Yeah, but I could see how it would, you know, would be intimidating, but it’s but unlike new, you’re like, dude, I’m not driving in New York. No kidding me like that, like San Francisco, you can be on one side of San Francisco, and you can drive and you can park on the street. You know, like you can find a parking garage and park. I mean, it is not, you’re not you can do it. Like for people that just visit there, you can do it right. So I mean, I did a lot of driving around San Francisco. And it’s oh, we’re driving over here. We’re driving over there. We’re driving. We did Uber from time to time, you know, but But it’s oh, we’re going out to dinner, let’s go drive over that we drive around the block and you find a place to park on the street, and then you go and find a ramen like whatever, right? So you see, I mean, I’m Oh, I’m behind a car that has no one in it. That’s so weird, you know? And then it’s oh, you know, it’s, it’s because I looked it up, I looked up like why are we doing this? Like, why is this need to be a thing? Right? And, and I don’t want to bastardize the mission statement of any of these companies. But it’s it’s basically intelligence gathering to create a safer driving environment for humans moving forward, right? So it’s, Hey, we’re going to teach, you know, the cars how to drive themselves, and how to interact with imperfect humans, right to minimize collisions and things like that, right? Yeah, so but case in point is, I’m behind a autonomous driving car. And a city bus just stops right in the middle of the damn road, whatever, like that. car slows down puts on his blinker moves around the car in order to like, like it’s trying to go right but it’s completely obstructed. And this car just like a human figured out a way to navigate all the way around safely and then make a turn.
Rob Broadfoot 23:44
Well, the sort of, I would think the simplest is a simple example would be coming to I’m coming to a red light. Yeah, right right now it’s up to the driver whether or not they’re gonna go and yellow or not going Yeah, for sure. It’s a program thing with a car it’s Oh no, it’s gonna make the same it’s gonna know exactly when to stop and when to get it eliminating human error. So I mean, I can I can I can see that it doesn’t make it any less terrifying. Yeah, see that?
Don Mock 24:08
Now we have hands free driving and we have lane assist in a lot of cars all over United States, right? So it knows the dashes in the yellow line to the white line. Right? And it’s like, oh, it’s that like, Oh, I’m falling asleep in the in the drifting but like the steering wheel shakes and vibrates and whatever like that. Right? Well, I mean, the streets of San Francisco are I mean, it they’re just painted lines going everywhere. There are the cable car rail tracks. I mean, there’s stuff everywhere right? So I mean, it is it is it you cannot it can’t learn by What Lane it’s in or what’s the you know, like? I mean, there are the taxi only lanes that are painted all red. I mean, it’s crazy. The roads are totally insane how to do it. know? Yeah. How do it know? I have no idea. You know, way mo knows. It knows right you write on a cable car. We did not do a cable car now. Yeah, we didn’t do a cable car but I saw couple cable cards. We didn’t do Lombard Street. There’s a lot of stuff we didn’t do. And there’s a ton of stuff still left to be done.
Rob Broadfoot 25:05
It’s hard to knock it out all in one. Yeah. Yeah.
Don Mock 25:08
